"What? The thief, he, he actually ran away~?"
Early in the morning, Yang Sichang was happily waiting for the latest battle report from Agate Mountain, but unexpectedly, he received such news that made him go berserk!
"Say~~! What on earth is going on?" Yang Sichang tore the shirt of the soldier who reported the news and roared loudly, no longer caring about his old-fashioned demeanor.
The soldier was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Mr. Ge, last night, late last night, the main force of more than 30,000 people's soldiers broke through Zuo Shuai's western defense line. Zuo Shuai hurriedly mobilized troops to assist, but, no one came.
Thinking about it, the real main force of the Xian Thieves was actually on the east side of the defense line. Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and the others rushed to kill them together. Zuo Shuai couldn't resist them, so they had to break a bloody path! However, Mr. Ge, Xian Thieves and other tribes
, only ten thousand people escaped, all of them were elite soldiers, and now, he still has hundreds of thousands of people who are still trapped in the Agate Mountain!"
"What about Liu Ruyi? What does Liu Ruyi do for food?" Yang Sichang roared hysterically.
"General Liu's side had originally forced Liu Wenxiu to a dead end in the middle of the night, but unexpectedly, at this moment, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo's troops suddenly came out from one side. General Liu's soldiers were outnumbered and had to retreat to the mountainside station first.
!When the Xian rebels broke through, they did not go to General Liu's side, but to the left army's side where the mountain was slightly gentler!" The soldiers hurriedly recounted what happened last night to Yang Sichang!
"What an injustice, what an injustice!"
Yang Sichang let out a long sigh and couldn't help but shed tears. He tried his best and almost used all his strength, but unexpectedly, he still let the thief run away!
"Mr. Ge, although the traitor has escaped, most of his troops are still there! We must not miss this opportunity!" Seeing Yang Sichang like this, the soldiers hurriedly explained.
"Huh?" Yang Sichang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized it!
Yes~~!
Although the thief escaped, he could escape the monk, but he could not escape the temple!
His wife, children, his tribe, his supplies, food and grass are still in the Agate Mountains! As long as they are all taken down, the emperor will be able to do business easily!
Thinking of this, Yang Sichang hurriedly said: "Quick, go and inform the troops that all the remaining thieves must be captured before sunset today!"
It was already noon when Liu Ruyi learned about the Xian bandits' breakout.
"Brother, how could such a dragnet allow the thief to escape? Zuo Liangyu, an old dog, I'm afraid he is letting things slip on purpose! Brother!" When Huo Lang heard the news, he was so surprised.
Even though he has such a calm temper, he can't help but get furious!
Xiao Liuer was even more furious and cursed: "Young master, this old dog is giving us eye drops! We absolutely can't just let it go!"
Liu Ruyi did not expect Xiao Liu'er and Huo Lang to be so angry. After all, things had already happened. Even if Zuo Liangyu was really killed, it would not solve any problem!
However, Liu Ruyi really admired Zhang Xianzhong's cruelty. In order to survive, he even gave up hundreds of thousands of his followers, wives and children. He couldn't be called a 'hero'!
"Have you figured out the cause of the matter?" Liu Ruyi turned around and asked the two of them.
Huo Lang hurriedly explained: "I present my thieves' voice to attack from the east to the west, use cannon fodder to attack the left army's western position, and finally bring elite troops to break out from the east. We want to catch up now, but I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up!"
Liu Ruyi nodded, Zhang Xianzhong is really full of energy!
However, after this battle, he is afraid that his vitality has been severely damaged. He will not be able to cheer up for another three to five years!
"Do you have any latest instructions from Mr. Ge?" Liu Ruyi asked again.
"He ordered us to defeat the remaining thieves as soon as possible and join the army!" Huo Lang reported hurriedly.
Liu Ruyi nodded, "That's fine! Send me the military order! The whole army will attack! Wipe out the remnants of the Xian thieves as soon as possible!"
Now that the main force of the thieves has escaped, the rest will be much easier!
Liu Ruyi, Zuo Liangyu, Fierce as a Tiger, Fang Kongmei, etc. all marched in with their armies. The remaining thieves were unable to resist and were captured one after another!
Even the seven wives and concubines offered to the thief fell into the hands of the army!
The most ridiculous thing is that Pan Duao, the "dog-headed military advisor" who offered the thief, was captured alive by the army instead of evacuating with the thief because he caught wind and cold last night!
Soon, the results of this battle were also tallied!
In this battle, the officers and soldiers captured nearly 100,000 prisoners and sacrificed the remnants of the thieves, killed and wounded more than 20,000 people, seized homemade weapons, countless armors, more than 60,000 taels of gold, more than 200,000 taels of silver, and a large number of
Food, grass, supplies, it can be said to be a rich harvest!
~~~~~~
At the foot of the mountain, in Yang Sichang's tent, all the generals gathered together.
Looking at the rich statistical report of the results, a smile finally appeared on Yang Sichang's face, "Generals, although the thieves escaped in this battle, we did not gain nothing! In this battle, all the generals
This is a great effort, so I will naturally report it to the Emperor Ming one by one and ask for credit from all the generals! But!"
Yang Sichang changed the topic and looked directly in the direction of Zuo Liangyu, "General Ping Zei, you should also have an explanation with the other generals about Xian Zei's breakout, right?"
Zuo Liangyu was startled, and for a moment, he said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Ge, colleagues, Xian's thieves broke out on Zuo's front, and Zuo did bear a great responsibility! However, Mr. Ge, Xian
The elite fighting power of the thief tribes must have been learned by Mr. Ge and the generals, and Zuo is not lying! Mr. Ge, if the thief tribes join forces to break through the encirclement, Zuo will be very sure to stop them.
! But among the more than 10,000 elites, Zuo was really powerless! Even the generals under Zuo’s command were all injured. Although they resisted desperately, they still allowed them to fight a bloody path!"
Zuo Liangyu's words are very true and can be said to be watertight.
Everyone here is a leader, and they all understand his difficulties. After all, no one is absolutely sure that a battle will be won!
On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly, and no one can predict what will happen in the next moment!
Yang Sichang nodded, "General Pingthief, I don't want to blame you, but with your insight, where do you think the thieves will flee to?"
Zuo Liangyu understood what Yang Sichang meant, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Ge, General Yimo has observed that the Xianthief tribes seem to have split! When they broke through our army's line, the two Gezuo tribes broke through first, and the Xianthief tribes broke through first.
A few adopted sons, but they are in the second batch, and the last general also discovered that some of them are unusual!"
"Commander Zuo, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are all ears!" Several generals in the tent said hurriedly.
Zuo Liangyu cupped his hands and said, "The Xianthief tribes have been hit hard this time. We will see in the future that there will probably be internal conflicts among them! Even if we can't trace their traces, I believe that they themselves will."
The truth will soon be revealed!"
All the generals present had fought against the refugee army many times, so they understood what Zuo Liangyu meant and couldn't help but nod their heads.
At this time, Yang Sichang looked at Liu Ruyi who was standing aside and said with a smile: "General Liu, what do you think of the future?"
Liu Ruyi is not as optimistic as these generals. After all, the history of later generations has proven that those who offer a thief are a weakling who cannot be killed!
"Elder Pavilion, generals, although the traitor Xian is weak now, he is extremely tolerant and has the heart of a tiger and a wolf! I believe that this kind of person must be eradicated to avoid future troubles!" Liu Ruyi said with her hand in hand.
"Haha! So, Brother Liu, you have a good idea?" Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but sneer. When he heard Liu Ruyi's words, his first reaction was that Liu Ruyi was insinuating him!
"Liu can't tell you how to do it now! However, I estimate that the Xianthi tribe will probably seek a living under Zuo Shuai! I have to trouble Zuo Shuai to worry about everything!" Liu Ruyi said with a smile.
"You~~~! How dare you spit on someone?" Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but became furious, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to attack Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but sneer, without even looking at Zuo Liangyu, she cupped her hands to Yang Sichang and said, "Everything must be clearly observed by Mr. Ge!"
In fact, whether it was Li Chuang or the thieves, the officers and soldiers might have had many opportunities to completely wipe them out, but due to the selfishness of many generals, they continued to expose gaps for them time and time again, allowing them to remain unpunished.
, and finally overturned the three hundred years of Ming Dynasty’s foundation!
Since Zuo Liangyu was determined to find trouble, how could Liu Ruyi give him a good look?
"Okay, okay! Stop arguing!"
Yang Sichang quickly waved his hand to stop Zuo Liangyu's move, "You are all important officials of the imperial court. How can you mess up your military morale because of these 'unnecessary' details! Now that our army has won a great victory, I should express my gratitude to the imperial court."
Thank you for your hard work for half a year on the expedition, and you have not been able to celebrate the New Year! So, for now, you will be stationed in Taiping County to rest! Everything will be decided by the Emperor!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ge, for being so wise!" All the generals couldn't help but hurriedly said in unison, cupping their hands.
Liu Ruyi shook her head slightly. After working hard for half a year, it finally came to a typical "Chinese-style" ending!
However, this is good, Liu Ruyi is really tired of this war!
At this time, we were in the deep mountains three hundred miles away on the west side of Agate Mountain.
Lao Hui returned to Ma Shouying, and the various Gezuo tribes who greeted Yilong with Geli eyes completely parted ways with Zhang Xianzhong. They were going north from here, from Shaanxi to Henan, preparing to develop in their "home" in the Central Plains!
Zhang Xianzhong was also a little disheartened because of this defeat. He did not intend to fight with the main force of the army in Sichuan anymore, but planned to return to Fang County, which he was more familiar with, and the deep mountains in the Xingshan area.
However, seeing Ma and He leaving like this, Zhang Xianzhong still felt a little hard to let go, and there was an inexplicable trace of hatred in his eyes!
"Commander Father, are you worried about the families of our army?" Li Dingguo appeared beside Zhang Xianzhong at some unknown moment.
Zhang Xianzhong was stunned for a moment, looked back at Li Dingguo, and said with a bitter smile: "A man must stand up to heaven and earth! What a pity! I, Zhang, have been a soldier for half my life, but I can't even protect my wife and children! Hey! Yichun, you
Do you think I'm a failure?"
Hearing Zhang Xianzhong call out his nickname again, Li Dingguo also shed tears, "Father, you must not be discouraged! How can a man have smooth sailing? In the past, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, worked hard and endured hardships, and finally won the Yue Kingdom for a hundred years.
Foundation! Father, what does this setback mean? Our old camp is still there, our roots are still there!"
Zhang Xianzhong glanced at Li Dingguo and suddenly burst into laughter: "Yichun, good boy! You are much better than my father! Work hard! Green mountains will not change, green waters will flow forever! We will eventually come back one day! Liu Ruyi
, Zuo Liangyu, sooner or later we have to settle this account with them!!"
"Yes! Father! The child is willing to be a pawn in front of his father!" Seeing Zhang Xianzhong cheer up again, Li Dingguo hurriedly knelt down in front of him respectfully!
