The war hasn't started yet in Guangping, but the capital is already in chaos.
Qian Yunde returned to the capital and informed him of the situation in Shandong. When he learned that the canal had been cut off, the capital immediately went into chaos.
Food prices and commodity prices, which were originally rising steadily, are like riding a rocket this time.
Outside the palace gate, Sunchon Magistrate Zhuang Qinlin was like an ant on a hot pot.
"Where is Your Majesty? I want to see Your Majesty."
The big Han general guarding the gate just didn't listen.
"Unless you are called, you are not allowed to enter."
Zhuang Qin stomped his feet angrily.
"When is it? The capital is about to revolt. You are still isolating the inside and outside. What are your intentions?"
The Han general just didn't listen and didn't pass the message on his behalf.
After spending an hour like this, Zhuang Qinlin saw that there was no other solution, so he turned around to look for Zhou Yanru to warm his heart.
Chongzhen was fully aware of the situation in the capital.
But what can he do?
Now all his hopes are on Quang Binh.
This battle will determine many things.
Even though he was the lord of the world, Chongzhen could not help but kneel in front of the ancestral tablet and pray earnestly, hoping that he could win this battle.
……………………
Zuo Mengeng, who was in Guantao, received bad news.
"What's going on? Why did you come back?"
No one can answer.
No one knows what happened on the front line.
But the news came back that the second and fourth regiments were retreating steadily.
Zuo Mengeng was furious and went directly to the front line.
"Commander, this battle is impossible to fight. It's too bullying."
As soon as they met, Qi Jiaxuan and Zhang Shou were like aggrieved children seeking to redress their grievances to their parents.
"How are you crying? What's going on?"
Seeing that the entire army was well and without any losses, Zuo Mengeng had his head full of lawsuits and couldn't figure out why they retreated.
"You'll know after you see it for yourself."
Qi Jiaxuan and Zhang Shou led Zuo Mengeng to the front, pointed at Zuo Liangyu's military formation and gnashed their teeth in hatred.
Zuo Mengeng didn't know why. He picked up the telescope and took a look, and couldn't help but twist his mouth in anger.
I saw that the front of Zuo Liangyu's military formation was covered with flags of various colors. Each flag had eye-catching large characters written on it.
[Zuo Liangyu, the father of the unfilial son Zuo Mengeng, is here]
The left army held these flags and pressed forward step by step, leaving Qi Jiaxuan and Zhang Shou unable to attack.
Besides retreating, what else can be done?
Zuo Mengeng is their leader, and Zuo Liangyu is Zuo Mengeng’s father.
If he opens fire, wouldn't he trap Zuo Mengeng in an unjust place?
Although Zuo Mengeng has decided to go to war, it is impossible for the people below not to care about his reputation.
After understanding the situation, Zuo Mengeng also knew that it was not the fault of Qi Jiaxuan and Zhang Beast for being timid.
Looking at the flags waving in the wind, even he was a little worried.
This battle is difficult to fight.
…………………………………………
"Hahaha, Mr. Zuo made a clever plan, and your son really has nothing to do."
Seeing the unimpeded movement of the army, Gao Qiqian was extremely happy.
Chongzhen has sent a secret order, telling them to win this battle to relieve the capital's difficulties.
Thinking that the imperial court is now helpless, once the situation is opened up here, he will be an unparalleled achievement.
No matter how many mistakes I made before, I can make them all right this time.
Wu Daochang was on the sidelines, watching the battle unfold like this, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Valley mole
Can the war still be fought like this?
But no matter what, the New Army did retreat.
He hurriedly said: "Commander Zuo, this opportunity must not be missed. If it is lost, it will never come back. If the whole army advances quickly and defeats the enemy in one fell swoop, we will avoid a long night and many dreams."
Zuo Liangyu didn't like hearing this.
The most important thing is that he just won the jackpot and is in the limelight. He also wants to use this matter to get more rewards, so he is not willing to end it hastily.
"Master Wu doesn't know something. This march and battle has its own rules. The most important thing is to have a rigorous military formation. Once the military formation is in chaos, there will be endless troubles."
Wu Daochang looked gloomy and wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Gao Qiqian.
"General Zuo Rongcheng is a wise man. Soldiers are important matters of the country and must not be careless!"
He has led troops and fought in battles, so he naturally knows that what Zuo Liangyu said is absolutely correct.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Zuo Liangyu had too many little thoughts.
With the support of the Lieutenant Commander of the Supervisory Army, Zuo Liangyu became more and more arrogant.
"Go down with the order, move forward steadily, and spend the night at Shoushan Temple tonight."
After receiving the order, the left army became even more aggressive and did not take any precautions. They swaggered towards the new army.
They knew that as long as the flag was in hand, the new army would not dare to attack.
This battle is certain to be won!
"boom……"
In the advancing battle formation, a billowing cloud of gunpowder smoke suddenly erupted. The shrapnel roared like a devil, and a giant dragon danced wildly, stirring up a bloody storm wherever it went.
Before everyone on the left army could understand what was going on, one explosion after another rang out in their formation. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were blown to pieces.
There were many people lying in a pool of blood, holding their broken limbs and crying and wailing, which was heart-stopping.
Zuo Liangyu was also scratched on the face by a piece of shrapnel, leaving a gash on his face. He was so frightened that he rolled off his horse and looked forward in a warlike manner.
"That little beast, he, he, he...how dare he..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the new army that had retreated now formed a strict queue, pressing in like a mountain like a wall.
The difference from before was that the same flags were fluttering in the New Army battle formation at this time.
Each and every big character is showing off its power, blocking out the sky and the sun.
[Ancestor Zuo Che punished unfilial descendants on behalf of the people of the world]
Zuo Liangyu was dumbfounded and his mind was filled with mush.
"Who is Zuo Che?"
Wu Daochang was so anxious that a mouthful of old blood spurted out.
"Zuo Che is the king of an ancient country. His descendants take the country as their surname, which is the origin of your Zuo family. Zuo Che is the ancestor of your Zuo family."
"this……"
Zuo Liangyu was dumbfounded.
He believed that he was Zuo Menggeng's father, so it was only natural for him to beat his son.
I never expected that Zuo Mengeng would be so ruthless. He would actually bring out all the origin ancestors of the Zuo family, suddenly turning the situation around and completely gaining the upper hand.
It is also natural for ancestors to beat their descendants.
In panic, the New Army infantry had advanced to within 300 meters.
Qi Jiaxuan became fierce and took command personally.
"Fire!"
The cap gun erupted into clouds of white smoke, and hundreds of bullets shot through the void, killing dozens of leftist soldiers in one fell swoop.
This time the left army became even more chaotic.
Before they could react, the second row of New Army soldiers had already stepped forward, advanced about ten meters at the same time, and fired again.
The closer the distance, the more casualties the left army would suffer.
Seeing their own men dying one after another, the Zuo army was completely devastated. Without waiting for Zuo Liangyu's order, they all turned around and ran away, abandoning their helmets, and the scene was in chaos.
Zuo Liangyu?
He still had some conscience, so he took Gao Qiqian and Xie Wenju to run together.
However, he only had two hands and could not take care of Wu Daochang.
Wu Daochang was on the verge of collapse after being charged by the insurgent soldiers. He could not help but pause and sigh.
Today I experienced a wonderful show of a loving father and a filial son.
