Cutting 1719

Chapter 167
Hengxiang leaned his neck up, breathing in fresh air with great effort. There was an arrow wound on his right arm, which was simply wrapped in a cloth strip, and the blood stained the cloth strip into a layer of black cloth.

Just seven or eight steps away from Hengxiang, lay a dead body that was already icy, it was Rui Ning, with blood stains on his slightly youthful face, his eyes were slightly closed as if he was asleep.

The day before yesterday, Hengxiang and Ruining attacked the seemingly weak Xianning county under the coercion of the army. The city, which was supposed to be defeated in one go, fought extremely hard, and even felt a little desperate.

A large number of corpses were piled up under the city. These corpses included Qing army and Fuhan army. They wore all kinds of clothes and looked like a mob, and indeed they were mobs.But just this gang of mobs abruptly blocked the Eight Banners elite's siege with corpses.

Heng Xiang really couldn't bear to recall the siege on that day. Hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers in full armor and cotton armor, after enduring a burst of gunfire and leaving dozens of corpses, quickly passed the simple The ladder boarded the top of the city.The whole process was extremely smooth, and it can be said to be smooth and smooth.

It wasn't until he reached the top of the city that Hengxiang realized that what he was facing was not the original soldiers in red uniforms, but a group of soldiers in gray cloth clothes. Some of them were over fifty years old, some of them were Missing an arm - it doesn't look like a group of soldiers capable of fighting.

But it was such a group of unequipped and incompetent soldiers who used knives, guns and barrels, bit their teeth, and some people jumped off the city wall with the Eight Banners soldiers in their arms. The army was driven down.The psychological pressure these gray-clothed soldiers put on Hengxiang was even stronger than those red-clothed soldiers.

In fact, what Hengxiang didn't know was that he was facing strictly speaking the most elite group of people from the Fuhan Army. Most of them were veterans since the rise of the Fuhan Army. The main force retreated.

Since many of these veterans were directly disabled and it was very difficult to support themselves, Ning Zhongyuan organized them all into a city defense regiment, which was supposed to protect the city—in fact, it was to give these veterans a way to survive.Later, when Ning Zhongyuan formed the Chu Wang Guard Battalion, he also planned to fill it with these veterans, but he was opposed by everyone, so he gave up.

Originally, this was just Ning Zhongyuan's act of gratitude, but now with Fu Erdan's surprise attack, these veterans had to follow Ning Zhongyuan back into battle. They had no armor, no advanced flintlock guns and artillery, and some even He doesn't even have hands, the only thing he has is his life like a mustard.

It is such a group of people who have nothing, under the leadership of Ning Zhongyuan, together with the Wangfu Guard Battalion, resisted the Qing army's seven sieges.

"Hiss, the arrows of this Tartar are really ruthless"

Ning Zhongyuan's upper body was naked, his arm was directly pierced by an arrow, the wound was not completely solidified, and it was covered with white powder.

Chen Dejiu wiped off his sweat and said gratifiedly: "Your Majesty, fortunately, this arrow just pierced through the arm and did not cause any serious harm to the body. However, this battlefield needs to be cautious, if the force is too strong, the wound may be ruptured."

"Master Chen, we are old acquaintances. My son was seriously injured a few years ago, and it was you who brought him back from the gate of hell!"

Ning Zhongyuan said with emotion on his face that he had fought many battles in the past, and this little injury was nothing to him, but he was more interested in recalling the past with Chen Dejiu.

"Hey, Your Majesty, this is also because the son is a general from the sky. How can it be an old man's achievement? Your Majesty really thinks highly of it." Chen Dejiu hurriedly thanked him, but this is true, because in the current folk, people Everyone regards Ning Yu as a general, if not, how could he beat the imperial army in a state of embarrassment when he was weak?
Ning Zhongyuan smiled slightly, but didn't say much, and asked Chen Dejiu to go down to rest.

After Chen Dejiu packed up his things and left, Cui Wancai entered the room, and when he smelled the strong smell of medicine, he couldn't help frowning, and then sighed.

"Mr. Hanyang sent news from Jiangxi that the Li Fu who was sent before was still quite capable. Now he has persuaded Nanchang to surrender, but the disaster of a sword is missing."

"Well, that's very good. Yu'er's current methods are becoming more and more sophisticated, and she looks at the problem quite deeply. Not to mention a governor and a chief envoy, even if you add something else, you can give it!"

Cui Wancai smiled lightly, "I don't know about other humble positions, but this exploitation ability is not shallow. With the 80 taels of silver and 50 mu, my Fuhan army can breathe a sigh of relief."

Ning Zhongyuan thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "I'm not worried about Yu'er's 5 troops against Yongjina's [-] people. The big victory in this battle may come this month, but the problem right now is Fu Erdan, he has been besieging the city for two consecutive days, and our army has suffered a lot, so how to defend in the future is a difficult problem."

"My Majesty, this letter from Lord Hanyang is addressed to the Majesty himself. I said that you will understand after reading this letter." Cui Wancai took out a letter from his sleeve, which was covered with the wax paint of the Dudu Mansion.

Ning Zhongyuan took the letter, tore open the seal, took out the letter paper inside, read it briefly, couldn't help sighing, and handed the letter paper to Cui Wancai.

"Look at it too, this stinky boy dares to meddle in my affairs, isn't he just winning a few battles?" Ning Zhongyuan murmured sadly.

Cui Wancai couldn't help laughing when he saw it. It turned out that Ning Yu told Ning Zhongyuan in the letter to let him retreat quickly if the situation was wrong. Those who can defend the city must not be brave and throw their old lives on the battlefield. At the end of the letter, Ning Zhongyuan was told to let him learn from Liu Bang.

What do you mean?Isn't learning from Liu Bang just letting him run when it's time to run!

But Ning Zhongyuan felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was a soldier. What he yearns for most in his life is to raise troops and destroy countless enemies. This feeling deeply attracts Ning Zhongyuan, but since becoming this After the king of Chu, in order to maintain the stability of the Han army, he had to stay at the back and watch his son fight in front.

Finally got a chance to raise troops to resist Fu Erdan, but he was shot again by an arrow. If it was in the past, let alone bandaging, he had cut off the arrow and continued to fight. However, now that the status is high, these things On the contrary, he couldn't do it, so he had to use the battle report to understand the current situation.

"Reply to Yu'er, and tell him that I am not old yet, that I can win battles and ride horses and shoot arrows!"

"Isn't it just a little Fu Erdan, I will destroy him! Let Yu'er hurry up and fight the battle of Jiujiang, and we will compare to see who wins more beautifully!"
