Chapter 876 Little Uncle, don't blame me
The shouts of several slaves from Shang Zhixiao's family made it even more difficult for the Qing army, which was already in turmoil. After discovering that the Taiping Army pursued, those who could escape were all fled. Those who could not escape could only throw away their weapons honestly and kneel on the ground to surrender.
Perhaps the senior leaders of the Taiping Army had an explanation before the war that the soldiers who were pursuing did not act as killing prisoners after seeing the Qing army kneeling down and surrendering. This impacted the rumors that the Taiping Army would kill prisoners in every battle in the Qing army. Soon, more and more Qing troops kneeling down and surrendering, including Manchu and Mongolian soldiers.
There was a Niulu about 100 Manzhou soldiers from Zhengbai Banner who were watching for a while, and they all got off their horses and knelt down to surrender. The leader of the Zuoling used Manzhou dialect to call out the rebellious Gongjianse and others. After getting the other party's approval, the Zuoling jumped up from the ground happily and said a few words to his subordinates. A group of Zhengbai Banner soldiers hurriedly searched for red cloth strips and spread them on their arms. If they couldn't find the red cloth, they pulled the discarded two Red Flag Army flags from the pole and tore them apart one by one.
After pursuing the Taiping Army, they saw that the Manzhou soldiers were wrapped in red cloth belts on their arms, they ignored them. This move made the soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner even more calm. One thing happened, and then more two white flag soldiers followed suit and got the red cloth to temporarily turn against the battlefield. After the two white flag soldiers turned against each other, they fought to prove themselves and offered good to the Taiping Army, and followed the Taiping Army to pursue the retreating Qing army, which made the Taiping Army's pursuit even greater and the morale of the Qing army even more. The strength of both sides can be said to be reduced, but in terms of force alone, the Qing army still had the advantage, but there was no morale at all. No matter how many soldiers there were, it was useless.
The mid-line has now completely collapsed. Two or three thousand Qing troops collectively escaped from the battlefield and fled north. Among them, there were the Qing army commander Aobai, and several Mongolian princes. The Qing army on the left and right wings also collapsed. Under the counterattack of the Taiping Army, some fled north, some fled east and west.
Yong Gui, deputy commander of Zhenghuang Banner, originally wanted to retreat to Sanwan Daying with the central army and the Taiping Army's cavalry to head to Sanwan Daying. After the two white flag soldiers who were in trouble also went with each other, Yong Gui did not dare to return to Sanwan Daying, so he led his subordinates to run west.
After seeing the full force of the Zhenghuang Banner running west, the remaining soldiers were full of soldiers, and the Mongolian army followed closely. The Han army green camp also followed a lot. Looking from a distance, I was afraid that tens of thousands of people would flee west. This made Zhou Shi, who was watching the battle on the Tianzhong Tower, frown. The route of the tens of thousands of Qing soldiers fled west was exactly the front line of Daijiazhuang, which was stationed in the fifth town. The war report sent by the fifth town showed that they had fought with the Qing army and the war was very fierce. At this critical moment, although the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers had no morale, after all, so many people really rushed to Daijiazhuang. If they were not good, the fifth town was destroyed by them.
In view of this, Zhou Shixiang quickly sent an order and ordered more than a thousand cavalry to chase the defeated soldiers westward, while the rest of the troops continued to chase northward, and it was necessary to capture the Three Bay Camp of the Qing army.
"My uncle, please wait. This sword and gun are eyeless. If you have a few shortcomings, your wife will peel me off!"
The third town, Brigade C, was the main force in defending the center line with Xiner Town. After the full counterattack, the remaining 1,000 soldiers of Brigade C immediately jumped out of the fortifications and rushed forward on the road paved by the corpses of more than 100 meters of Qing army in front of the formation.
The person who shouted "Xiao Boye" was a general flag of the Bandit B. The man's surname was Dong, his name was Tianci, and he was from Liaodong. He was originally an ordinary soldier under the Jingnan vassal. After surrendering the Taiping Army in Guangzhou, he made some small contributions in the Battle of Chaohui. When the third town in the previous period attacked Ganzhou, Jiangxi, he made another contribution and made another contribution to the general flag.
In the past, when he was under the Jingnan Fan period, Dong Tianci had a nickname called "Dong Er Mianzi". This gangster was a Liao area, which means that this person is very ignorant and can be in trouble, and is similar to a rogue. Because there are many surrendered troops from the Jingnan Fan period in the third town, Dong Tianci has many acquaintances, so naturally his nickname, Dong Er Mianzi, was also spread.
However, no matter how much Dong Er is, he knows that the young man in front of him is very important. Not only is his immediate superior Wei Wei, but he is also the young master of Guiyi of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also the young master of the Jingnan vassal. Therefore, seeing Mr. Geng rushing in front, Mr. Dong Er is very worried about the accident of Mr. Xiao. At present, he is in a great victory. But who can guarantee that there are not many Tartars pretending to be dead hidden in the dead bodies everywhere? What if the Tartars start to attack Mr. Xiao.
Dong Er slut was shouting Geng Jingzhong from time to time, and several times he quickly stepped up to grab his clothes and prevented him from running forward, which made Geng Jingzhong very angry. Although he looked like a 16 or 17-year-old boy, he was actually only fourteen years old. In addition, he had been accustomed to the life of Prince Jingnan who was the only one earlier, and had a very bad temper. This time he went to war, he was holding his anger to show himself, so he was very upset by Dong Er slut and couldn't help but turn around and curse a few times. He was so scared that Dong Er slut didn't dare to pull him anymore, so he had to follow behind in a bad mood.
Geng Jingzhong, the lieutenant, suffered great losses, and the rest rushed north under the leadership of the officers. As the lieutenant and the young master, Geng Jingzhong's approach of leading by example was still recognized and approved by many soldiers.
The pursuit was carried out, except for capturing the Qing army captives who were falling behind, Geng Jingzhong and others did not meet the Qing soldiers who dared to resist. Continue to go north, there was a small forest ahead, and there were fleeing Qing soldiers running in and outside the forest.
"Roar up!"
Geng Jingzhong was eager to make contributions, so he shouted and ordered his soldiers to rush forward. His subordinates were naturally ordered, and no one dared to go against his wishes because he was young. Geng Jingzhong rushed forward quickly, but suddenly tripped up a dead body and carried it forward. Geng Jingzhong shouted, and several soldiers heard it and wanted to come to help him, but he waved his hand and told them not to care about him and quickly chased the Qing Dynasty. Seeing this, the soldiers did not stop.
The Dong Erzi, who had been following Geng Jingzhong, did not dare to be careless, so he rushed forward to help him. Geng Jingzhong glared at him angrily, broke free from his hand, and stood up by himself. The fall just now was a little painful, and his feet seemed to twist, and he limped and walked, making it difficult to walk. Geng Jingzhong was a little anxious, but he couldn't make his feet improve instantly. He could only walk to the forest in front of him in a depressed manner, and found a place to sit down. There were several corpses of Qing soldiers around him.
"What are you always following me?"
Seeing that Dong Erzi was not far away from him at all, Geng Jingzhong was very angry. He knew that his mother had explained to Dong Erzi, and the commander above also explained to Qianhu. This Dong Erzi was called the General Banner, and was actually the person responsible for protecting him. But he thought he had grown up and his father had already led troops to the battlefield at his age, so he could do this, instead of protecting him like a treasure. In this way, how could he achieve success?
"My uncle, don't talk for now. Let me show you my feet, and I'm not twisting my bones."
Dong Er slutted his body with a smile and wanted to check Geng Jingzhong's foot injury. Geng Jingzhong didn't want him to see it, but after thinking about it, he still gently raised his foot. Dong Er slut smiled, turned his head inadvertently and looked around, and then carefully picked up Geng Jingzhong's feet. Maybe it was a little too big, which made Geng Jingzhong hurt. He raised his mouth slightly and wanted to scold Dong Er slut. But before he opened his mouth, he covered his mouth with a big hand. Before he could move, his chest hurt, and a dagger had already been inserted into his heart. Who was the one who was holding the dagger?
Geng Jingzhong never dreamed that Dong Er's slut would kill him. He opened his eyes wide and glared at Dong Er's slut, wanting to shout, but he couldn't shout; he wanted to struggle hard, but he couldn't use his strength. He gradually felt that his breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and his heart seemed to stop beating. Finally, his head drooped, and the saliva in his mouth stained Dong Er's hands.
After closing Geng Jingzhong's eyes, Dong Er's mum exhaled and found that no one noticed this scene. He quickly pulled the dagger back, then picked up a Qing army knife from the ground and inserted it into Geng Jingzhong's chest along the wound. After doing all this, he straightened his waist from the ground, but a waist card fell from his arms, with the words "Military Information Department" engraved on it.
"My uncle, don't blame me, I'm also ordered."
Dong Erzi picked up his waist card, looked at Geng Jingzhong's corpse, shook his head, suddenly shouted twice, chopped the long knife in his hand on a corpse of a Qing soldier, then cried and picked up Geng Jingzhong's corpse, and staggered out of the forest.
