Zuo Liangyu was riding behind his wife, son and daughter, feeling very worried.
My group was dragged at the back of the fleeing army.
Zuo Liangyu was a rebellious man. He was named Ming General but was actually a warlord. He always supported his troops and respected himself. Because he often disobeyed his superiors' orders, he usually brought his family members with him in the army to prevent them from being taken hostage by his superiors.
However, the military is not absolutely safe. He originally had a wife, five concubines, and more than ten children, but during the Xuzhou Mutiny in the 11th year of Chongzhen's reign, they were all killed by rebels. Only his son Zuo Mengeng was not killed.
In the past ten years, he married four concubines and gave birth to four sons and three daughters.
In order to take care of these families, Zuo Liangyu brought a large number of maids in the army. These maids took a long time to get ready to escape. In addition, a large number of daily furniture, gold and silver treasures had to be loaded into the car, so Zuo Liangyu had a hard time
Only then did we pack up and set off on the road to retreat.
But once they started walking, Zuo Liangyu's family members were not too slow.
Zuo Liangyu looked at the battlefield with rumbling cannons behind him, and secretly thought that Wu Sangui should be able to hold on for another hour. By then, he would be thirty miles away, and he would destroy bridges wherever he went.
The Tiger and Ben troops could not catch up even if they pursued him.
After taking a look at the battlefield, Zuo Liangyu's body shook violently again.
This battle had a huge impact on Zuo Liangyu. Li Zhi's methods were so amazing, he kept conjuring new weapons like magic, and each one was very practical. Zuo Liangyu now began to worry about what Shi Kefa said
Depending on whether Jiang Lishou can hold on, God knows whether Li Zhi will come up with a new weapon.
But no matter what, all his more than 70,000 soldiers and horses were withdrawn. As long as the army is in hand, Zuo Liangyu can still be a superior person and enjoy fame and fortune.
As Zuo Liangyu was walking, his son Zuo Mengeng came over on horseback and asked: "Father, commander-in-chief, our army is no match for the Tiger Ben army now. What if the Huben army chases them all the way to Nanjing?"
Zuo Liangyu looked at his son for a long time and then replied: "Let's stay in Nanjing for a while first."
However, Zuo Liangyu was thinking about what was going to happen in the future, when he suddenly saw a guard next to him whose eyes widened.
"Commander, look over there"
Zuo Liangyu's heart skipped a beat, and he followed the guard's fingers and looked to the right. Sure enough, on the right, he saw a group of Tiger Army infantry outflanking his front.
There is a Tiger Army on the right!
What about the left side?
Zuo Liangyu suddenly turned his head and looked to the left with the Dutch monocular. Sure enough, in the small woods on the left, there were also infantrymen of the Tiger Army outflanking him in front.
Looking at this posture, the Tiger and Ben army dispatched at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to chase him.
How could the Huben army cross the battle line and come to him? What are Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses doing? Wu Sangui
Zuo Liangyu thought for a moment and suddenly realized that he had been betrayed by Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui must have hated himself for leaving him behind, and deliberately created a loophole to allow the Huben army to cross the battle line.
Zuo Liangyu suddenly became furious.
"The damned Liaodong thief"
Suddenly a general rushed over from the front. He was clearly Zuo Liangyu's deputy general Zhao Zhu.
"Commander! Oh no! The small bridge in front is controlled by the Hu and Ben army cavalry who have bypassed it. We can't cross the river."
Zuo Liangyu was so frightened that he was sweating all over, and his middle coat was soaked with cold sweat. Obviously, the Huben Army had completely surrounded him.
Zuo Liangyu looked around in panic, pointed to the east and said: "Go up to that hill and dig a trench on it to defend it."
The drummer and bugler in the army blew the horn to stop the advance, and Zuo Liangyu's wives, concubines, and maids suddenly became a mess, crying and crying. Some maids even wanted to leave the team and escape, but were caught by Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and their hands and feet were tied.
.
Five thousand Jiangbei Army infantrymen ran up the hill with their baggage carriages, quickly escaped and began digging fortifications.
However, before Zuo Liangyu's infantry could dig a trench, Li Zhi's troops surrounded them.
Li Laosi rode on horseback and led 15,000 soldiers and horses to surround Zuo Liangyu like iron barrels.
Looking at the Jiangbei Army soldiers digging trenches in a hurry, Li Laosi smiled.
"I won't cry until I see the coffin."
One thousand mortars were carried out and aimed at Zuo Liangyu on the hill from a distance of 500 meters. The hill was only a few dozen meters high, and Li Laosi was ready to blow the hill into scorched earth.
The mortar fired, and the shells shot towards the hill like hailstones, hitting the shrubs and small trees on the hill. There was a loud bang, and a storm of iron rain was set off on the small hill.
The Jiangbei Army soldiers who were still digging trenches in the open area were suddenly blown away.
Shooting five thousand people with one thousand mortars, the density of this kind of artillery is too high. The soldiers of the Jiangbei Army seemed to be named by the Huben Army, and mortar shells exploded under their feet.
.
Jiangbei's army did not dare to dig any more trenches, so they tried their best to hide behind rocks and trees.
The Huben troops at the foot of the mountain were unhurried, holding binoculars and searching for Jiangbei Army soldiers on the mountain. As soon as they found a flaw, they were immediately greeted by a row of mortar shells.
The explosion lasted for about ten minutes, and the mortar fired ten rounds. The barrel was hot from the fire. I don't know how many people were killed on the mountain.
Suddenly, Zuo Liangyu's deputy general Zhao Zhu rushed out toward the south with five hundred servants. Those servants were all wearing chainmail and holding tiger spears and sabers, and they looked very elite.
The soldiers of the Huben Army became interested and moved closer to the south, preparing to shoot these servants with rifles.
However, Zhao Zhu's charge was a false move. Just as the soldiers of the Huben Army moved to the south, a gap appeared in the siege network in the north of the mountain. Zuo Liangyu's eldest son Zuo Menggeng immediately led several servants on horseback and rushed towards the gap.
The soldiers were holding Zuo Liangyu's four young sons on their horses, trying to escape from the siege.
Zuo Liangyu knew that he would not be able to escape today, and just wanted to let his sons find a way to survive.
However, Zuo Liangyu's plan failed. Although a small gap was exposed in the north of the mountain, many soldiers of the Huben Army were equipped with sniper rifles, so Zuo Menggeng could not easily escape.
Li Laosi waved his hand, the horn sounded, and at least two hundred sniper rifles shot at Zuo Mengeng and his party. Blood flew from the escaping men and horses, and the Zuo family disciples on horseback were beaten into a hornet's nest, and they fell down one by one.
The horse dismounted and rolled down the hillside.
When Zuo Liangyu on the top of the mountain saw this scene, his eyes suddenly turned blood red.
His family was exterminated once in Xuzhou, but he didn't expect that all his sons would be killed again in Huai'an today. Zuo Liangyu had devoted his life to civil servants, thinking that he could pursue glory and wealth, but he didn't expect that in the end, all three clans would be wiped out.
He ran a few steps to the north of the mountain, looked at Zuo Mengeng's body, and knelt on the ground helplessly.
At this time, Zuo Liangyu couldn't even cry.
"Boom-boom! Boom-boom!"
When he saw Zuo Liangyu emerging from behind the rocks, more than two hundred mortars immediately came to greet him.
Zuo Liangyu saw the rain of shells fired at him, his eyes widened and he rolled forward.
However, the area covered by two hundred cannonballs was too wide. Even though Zuo Liangyu rolled more than two meters away, he still did not escape the bombardment of the cannonballs. At least seven or eight cannonballs exploded next to Zuo Liangyu. Zuo Liangyu
His body was exploded by the shock wave in an instant. When the explosion air wave turned into black smoke and rose, Zuo Liangyu's body could no longer be found on the mountain. 8)
