Chapter 650: Zhang Yongjiang, Roto's death
"Sir, what should I do?"
Seeing the central army and the right wing collapse and the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry fled in a panic, the generals of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp under Zhang Yong were scared and all of them were as if the doomsday had arrived.
Zhang Yong gritted his teeth and said nothing. He was unwilling to accept it and did not accept it, but he had no way to save the defeat.
Zhang Yong's general flag was still high, and this general flag attracted many defeated Qing troops, but it also brought more and more Taiping troops to gather in this direction.
There is a beacon on the gambling table, which means a guy who keeps losing. Others bets against him, and they won or not lose. Zhang Yong is now the beacon on the battlefield. His admiral flag is a beacon on the face, which attracts defeated soldiers and also attracts enemies.
Yu Shizhong was deliberately surrendering Zhang Yong at the commander-in-chief, and specially led his personal guards to persuade Zhang Yong to surrender. However, he found that Zhang Yong was still trying to gather the remaining troops to stabilize his position, Yu Shizhong ordered the entire army of the fifth and fourth towns to suppress, without hesitation, not to give Zhang Yong any chance to breathe, nor to give him any hope.
The Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp is indeed the strongest in the Green Camp. Although there are only more than a thousand remaining soldiers, they have stabilized the defense line under the continuous impact of the Taiping Army. However, there are too few soldiers in the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp. Facing the Taiping Army, which is several times more than itself, and facing the overall defeat, their persistence is the more fierce attack of the Taiping Army.
Yu Shizhong personally commanded the fifth town, and the fourth town launched a siege on Zhang Yong's army. With the successive attacks, the number of soldiers in Zhang Yong's army attacked less and less, and there were not many soldiers in Guangxi.
Zhang Yong had to face up to the fact that he had no soldiers anymore. After discovering that a Taiping cavalry was also moving towards him, Zhang Yong made a quick decision and cut off his flag with one knife, and then shouted to his subordinates: "Run!"
Amid the shocked gazes of his subordinates, Zhang Yong pulled his horse's head and fled back, with his speed so fast that he didn't even react.
"run!"
It was going to rain and my mother was going to get married. At this critical moment, the officers of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp could no longer tolerate any more thoughts. The Admiral fell down the flag and wanted to survive. It depends on whether they ran fast enough.
The remaining soldiers of Shaanxi and Gansu who had been persisting finally collapsed instantly when the flag fell.
Just as Zhang Yong fell down, Wang You, the fourth town general, laughed happily, and then gave an order. The Taiping soldiers from the fourth town and the fifth town rushed towards Zhang Yong's troops like a tide, rushing towards the Shaanxi-Gansu camp like an unstoppable torrent.
Zhang Yong ran too fast and the flag fell too suddenly. After the admiral ran away, the soldiers of the Shaanxi-Gansu camp realized that they had been abandoned. Most of the Shaanxi-Gansu camp soldiers had been fighting with the Taiping Army in front of them, so they had no time to run away. The generals represent the morale of the army. Without the morale of the army, the soldiers who could fight were just a mob. The Shaanxi-Gansu camp soldiers who had lost their command and lost their backbone could no longer raise the courage to resist. They abandoned their weapons and surrendered in a mess. More than 200 Taiping cavalry rushed over and waved their swords hard at the Shaanxi-Gansu green camp who refused to surrender. When the flag was overturned, the Shaanxi-Gansu green camp's last breath was gone. The Shaanxi-Gansu camp soldiers who refused to surrender only wanted to escape, but they could not stop these cavalry. In the end, they were covered with corpses.
After Yu Shizhong arrived, he ignored the military regimes of the battalions abandoned by Zhang Yong and directly ordered his personal guards to chase Zhang Yong, who was desperately retreating. Under the advance of the Taiping Army, Zhang Yong's Qing army either surrendered or died. Faced with the Taiping Army, the Qing army running wildly, had only one idea, that is, to escape.
The cavalry took advantage of the momentum to drive out the defeated soldiers, amplifying the panic infinitely, so that the Qing soldiers had no time to think about anything other than running away. How could the two-legged Qing soldiers run past the four-legged cavalry, but for those who were fleeing, they just had to run faster than the people behind. Even Zhang Yong himself had the same idea now. He accepted his fate when he drew his sword and cut off the flag. At that moment, Zhang Yong's subordinates who were still persisting were destined to become his life-saving straw - he just had to run faster than his subordinates!
Zhang Yong was not a woman at all. In order to escape, he abandoned everyone. However, he did not escape in the end. Zhang Yong was chased by a team of Taiping cavalry. In order to escape, Zhang Yong lay on the ground while the people were not paying attention in the chaos. He thought that the pursuers would go directly over him, but he never thought that the pursuers would use swords to repair every body of the Qing soldiers passing by. When the Taiping soldiers who had finished the sword came to him, Zhang Yong climbed up from the ground and shouted: "Don't kill me, I am Zhang Yong, the admiral of the left Budget of the Qing Dynasty, and I am willing to surrender!"
Zhang Yong surrendered like this. When the news reached Yu Shizhong's ears, he still couldn't believe that the two Qing generals who the Grand Marshal personally valued were so unbearable?
However, the facts cannot be changed, and Zhang Yong did decline.
Zhang Yong surrendered neatly, and the first sentence he said after seeing Yu Shizhong was: "I am willing to go down to Hechi for the general!"
.........
Zhang Yong pretended to be dead and could not escape the fate of being captured. Roto was much more lucky than him. The Ma Yaozi King and the assistant minister chased him all the way, so he actually let him escape. However, Roto, who finally escaped from the sky, did not expect that the Green Camp soldiers in Hechizhou City would rebel against the water. The one who brought the Green Camp soldiers in Hecheng and the young and strong Guizhou in the city was Shi Tian, the general who had beaten him.
Shi Tian did not march towards Qingyuan with the army, but stayed in Hechi to preside over the defense. He was said to be in charge of Hechi's defense, but in fact, Shi Tian had few soldiers under his command, and most of the people left in the city were young and strong men recruited from Guizhou.
Being in the rear, Shi Tian was extremely concerned about the war on the front line. He sent several groups of people to explore the front line, and the last group of people sent him brought him news of the defeat of the army. Therefore, Shi Tian decided to turn against him without any hesitation.
When Roto was running to the city with a few confidants Goshha, Shi Tian originally wanted to arrest the other party into the city, and used Roto as a stepping stone for his surrender to the Taiping Army and promotion. Unexpectedly, some of his battalions exposed their feet because they were too excited, which made Roto, who was about to enter the city, alertly retreat. Now, Shi Tian didn't need to hide anything, so he directly ordered people to shoot arrows at Roto and the others.
Hearing Shi Tian's order, his direct confidants naturally shot arrows without saying a word, but the ignorant soldiers did not understand what was going on. After all, there were Manzhou soldiers outside the city, and their fear of Manzhou soldiers made them tremble when they shot arrows.
Roto realized that something was wrong in the city, but it was too late. A series of arrows shot from the top of the city, and he couldn't even stop it.
Roto died very badly. A blind soldier who was not a magic archer at all shot him like a rat.
After Roto's death, Shi Tian personally surrendered to the Taiping Army with his body.
At this point, the Guangxi war that lasted for nearly two months ended. After confirming Roto's body, Yu Shizhong also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered someone to send a formal report of the victory to Guangdong.
In this battle, 48 generals and officers from all over the Ezhen area of Gushan, the Qing army were killed, 2,502 soldiers from Manzhou, 2,350 Mongolian soldiers, more than 3,870 Han soldiers, and 7,420 green camps. 39 generals and assistants of the Qing army were captured, and more than 9,520 soldiers were more than 1,600 war horses, more than 1,200 armors were seized, and the remaining weapons were counted.

I got drunk too much and was drunk by my uncle and brother-in-law. I was depressed and capsized in the gutter. I worked hard for several days, so I wouldn’t be scolded if I were less today?
