Half an hour later, the battle was completely over, and the infantry and auxiliary soldiers began to eat in batches and prepare to move forward.
"The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking, it's so powerful!" Mengzhu gave Zhu Yongxing a piece of food and said with a smile: "I was so frightened from behind. Your Highness, when did you come up with this artifact?"
"Well, well -" Zhu Yongxing swallowed the food in his mouth and said perfunctorily: "Actually, it's only a few days, and it's not a magical weapon, it's just a cannon."
Thighs, pink underwear, lace... Zhu Yongxing only glanced at Mengzhu, and all these temptations filled his mind, making him a little distracted.
"Such a powerful cannon, it only took a stick of incense to break through the Qing army camp." Mengzhu clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes, which immediately aroused Zhu Yongxing's vigilance.
Zhu Yongxing looked at Mengzhu thoughtfully, and involuntarily added another piece of "equipment" to her - a bra, also pink and lace. The underwear was changed to a thong, which was the most attractive.
"Your Highness——" Mengzhu felt a little guilty and called out weakly.
"They say girls are outgoing, with their elbows turned outward." Zhu Yongxing shook his head, temporarily getting rid of the messy thoughts, and teased with a smile: "But I know that this seems to be wrong, why are I looking at you?
They always turn their elbows inwards, and their hearts are more towards their parents’ home.”
Mengzhu blushed a little and murmured: "How can there be? Besides, even if I think more about my people, there is nothing wrong! Aren't we not married yet? How can we clearly distinguish between what is here and what is outside?"
Zhu Yongxing blinked and couldn't help but smile. This reason really makes sense. If you are engaged, that is a relatively high-level relationship. She is not yours yet, so why should you say that your elbows are turned outward.
Mengzhu was even more embarrassed by the laughter, so she simply put down her job, made a face at Zhu Yongxing, turned around and ran out.
"Hey, let's go after eating!" Zhu Yongxing called out, but when he saw no response, he couldn't help but shook his head. Silly girl, you will grow faster if you eat more. Maybe I will change my mind, get married in advance, and then have the bridal chamber.
…………
In order to catch up with the retreating Qing army as quickly as possible, Zhu Yongxing broke the routine and ordered the troops who had eaten to rest for half an hour before setting off. Although this caused a gap in the marching column, there were cavalry in front to support it.
The chance of an accident is very small.
Since the baggage convoy, which most affected the marching speed, was left behind, and many Qing prisoners were temporarily added as auxiliary soldiers. Some people carried armor and dry food, the infantry's marching speed was greatly accelerated. Zhu Yongxing remembered that during the school excursion, ten
He walked thirty kilometers in an hour; moreover, he worked as a donkey rider after graduation and had extensive experience on foot. He walked more than forty kilometers in one day, and it seemed that he had not reached the limit of his body.
Of course, the physique of the soldiers at that time may not be as good as Zhu Yongxing's, and they did not have equipment such as traveling shoes. But according to his estimation, sixty miles a day should still be achieved. Besides, it is not a mountainous road.
In terms of time, it was around three in the morning when the attack was launched, and it was around six in the morning when Zhu Yongxing led the first batch of infantry. It took almost five hours to get to the next Qing army camp. In fact, Zhu Yongxing was not at this speed.
Satisfied, it’s only thirty miles, it’s about the same speed as when I was a student.
Looking at the condition of the soldiers, it's not bad. This is partly due to the measures of wearing leggings and hot feet; the auxiliary soldiers are much worse, especially the original Qing soldiers who were just captured and carried armor and rations. They are tired.
They didn't dare to say a word for fear of being hacked to death and thrown on the roadside. This was also the custom in the army at that time. Auxiliary soldiers were like animals, not to mention these prisoners. They usually did heavy work and were sometimes used as cannon fodder. But
Zhu Yongxing has strictly prohibited this, so this is not what the prisoners know.
The bombed-out village gate, the scorched black walls, the dark red and purple colors on the ground all tell people about the battle that took place here, and the tragic end of another Qing army.
This camp is not as good as the Gudong Camp of the Qing Army in terms of scale and solidity. In fact, only one trench has been hastily dug and the width is not large. After all, in the eyes of Zhang Yong and Xian Guoan, this kind of camp is only temporary.
The transfer stations and support points were beyond their wildest dreams, and the Ming army suddenly had a powerful weapon to attack the enemy.
When Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan, Ruyang Wang Mabao, Shu Prince Liu Zhen, and General Zhang Guoyong rushed here with more than 5,000 cavalry, Xian Guoan had already led his troops to retreat. For this small camp and
With two thousand defenders, these Ming army generals were naturally not polite. It was almost a replica of the one in front of the Gudong camp. After two rounds of cannon fire, the cavalry launched a charge, jumped directly over the ditch, and entered the camp.
The Qing troops who stayed behind were all infantry. They didn't even have a chance to escape. After being blown away by the explosion, they were chopped down by the fierce cavalry like a wind and a cloud. They were killed and surrendered, which was worse than the battle at Gudong Camp.
It’s also clean and fast.
This is a bomb. Even in modern times, even during the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War, it was a very powerful weapon. Although black powder is used now, the Qing army had never seen such powerful bombings.
Zhu Yongxing glanced at the bomb crater in front of the camp and couldn't help but smile proudly. Since he was so confident, he didn't pay much attention to Zhang Guoyong's exaggerated and ostentatious battle narration that came to greet him. He only cared about Bai Wenxuan and others.
A situation in which the men led the cavalry to continue the pursuit.
"His Royal Highness Zhao and King Ruyang continue to lead their troops in pursuit. If we encounter such a camp again, it will be easy to defeat it with one blow. However, we learned from the prisoners that the frontline national security headquarters should not be far away, so we should not be too relaxed.
." Zhang Guoyong had a confident smile on his face, but he seemed a little regretful. He thought it was because he was left to guard the camp. "It's just that there is no news yet. I'm afraid it's because your highness came so quickly. Tsk tsk, infantry.
Such speed is very impressive. It can only be achieved under your command, His Highness!"
Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and said: "We are just on the road, how can we compare with the cavalry chasing and attacking the city. By the way, looking at the smoke in this camp, General Zhang thinks that even the food is almost ready."
"Your Highness will wait for a while and then you can have a full meal." Zhang Guoyong smiled somewhat proudly and said, "The purpose of keeping me here is to guard the prisoners and support His Highness's army. If I are not fully prepared, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty?"
"General Zhang, you have worked hard." Zhu Yongxing praised him, and then said with a self-deprecating smile: "There must be a lot of food and grass in this camp. I ordered the soldiers to carry dry food, which is a bit redundant."
"Who would have thought that it would be so easy to attack a city?" Zhang Guoyong seemed to have the same feeling, and echoed: "If we keep fighting like this, it will be easiest for our army to lose food to the enemy."
Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's better not to underestimate the enemy. Bringing a few days of dry food is not too heavy, so there is no need to be so tricky."
"Your Highness's words are a perfect solution." Zhang Guoyong complimented and already let Zhu Yongxing and others into the tent.
"Let the soldiers seize the time to rest and eat. After an hour at most, our army will continue to move forward." Zhu Yongxing gave the order to the accompanying generals, paused, and added: "The auxiliary soldiers should also be fed, including
