After rescuing his own cavalry, Li Laiheng led his troops back to the camp.

The defeated soldiers were like a flock of mindless sheep, only knowing to follow the people in front of them. A few miles away, the Ming Dynasty flag was erected in the loyal camp, which was security.

They could not see the soldiers of the Loyal Camp opposite who had raised the black bird muzzle. It was almost raining, and the bird muzzle might not have a chance to be used if it was not fired.

Li Laiheng warned for the last time: "Scatter from both sides and retreat to the rear of the camp."

But no one could hear him.

"Speed ​​the gun"

"Bang, bang, bang" the sound of guns sounded.

at the same time.

"boom"

The iron cannons on the high slope were fired, aiming at the Qing cavalry who were chasing the defeated soldiers six or seven miles away.

The defeated soldiers seemed to be stuffed with meat in two iron plates, with no way out and pursuers behind them.

This is the war. When the soldiers of the Zhongzhen Camp followed the King of Chuang, they all killed people like a lot. At this moment, they seemed to have regained their previous bloodiness, but they were just for their own people.

Dare to attack one's own people is also a skill, and the battlefield requires a strong heart.

The general's face was hidden under his dark helmet, and Li Guo, who was by his side, secretly felt a sense of awe in his heart. This was a chaotic world and a stage for the strong. This famous general was indeed well-known. He smelled a little bit of the scent of the King of Breaking.

Of course. Just a little bit, the strong always have a similar aura.

"You don't know, I had a relationship with Gao Yingxiang, when he was in the battle for the rebel king."

Zhai Zhe seemed to be chatting casually. At that time, he was in his early twenties, which was the best time in his life. What he did was to do was to do things in a straightforward manner. Although it was very hard, when he looked back, he still felt thrilled.

"King Gao Chuang is the uncle of King Chuang, and Mrs. Gao is the niece of King Chuang."

Li Guo was very excited and told about Guan Xi, the inheritance of King Chuang. Since he defected to the Ming Dynasty, that period of history has become a taboo that cannot be mentioned. Unexpectedly, Zhai Zhe did not hate him because of this.

"I am from Jin and know the origin of going to the west. There are also many Shaanxi people in the grassland. General Xiao and General Zuo of the Jing camp in our army are both Shaanxi."

“That’s great”

After a few words, the relationship between the two became much closer.

The sound of fighting several miles away gradually became heavier, the lead penetrated the body, the spear blocked the road, and countless people fell in pools of blood, and those seemed to have nothing to do with the two people talking.

"Is Mrs. Gao in Kuidong? When the war in Huguang is over, I want to see her."

Li Guo bowed: "I will tell Mrs. Gao in the end"

Du Yinxi has been in business for a year, but he is really not as good as Zhai Zhe’s one day here. There is a natural gap between military men and civil servants.

"Huguang is a good place. Taking Jingzhou from Zhongzhen Camp is also considered a place to settle down."

Zhai Zhe said casually, Li Guo was stunned first, then surprised, bowed and said, "Thank you, General."

The strength of Zhongzhen Camp is worthy of Jingzhou, and Zhai Zhe is not a stingy person. He has the power to give real things, unlike Du Yinxi, who is restricted by rules and regulations.

There was a thunder sound in the air, and lightning flashed out a hideous pattern in the dark sky. The sound of cannons on the top of the mountain echoed the sound of thunder, outside Jingzhou City, like a dark area.

The raindrops grew bigger, and the voices and figures of the defeated soldiers were gradually covered by the rain.

Zhai Zhe and Li Guo retreated into the tent, and messengers from each battalion came to inform the situation of the war. Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi set up numerous horse-resisting formations in the front battalion, and the Qing cavalry lingered in front of the formation.

In the storm, the Ming army's bird guns could not be used, and the Qing army's bows and arrows could not be used. Luke Dehun personally rode his horse to move the Zhongzhen Camp and walked around. After hesitating for a moment, he ordered the withdrawal of troops.

The Qing soldiers fought bloody battles yesterday and did not get a rest. Last night, they fought fiercely from the Chou time to the dawn. Although the soldiers were excited, they were also tired. Seeing that the Zhongzhen Camp was in chaos in Huguang, he knew that he was unable to win, so it was more important to gather with the defenders in Jingzhou City.

He broke up the army in Huguang, not knowing whether it was a good or a bad thing. His uneasiness was even worse than yesterday, and he always felt that he had done something extremely unfavorable.

The road to Jingzhou City was opened, and the Qing soldiers disappeared in turn in the rain.

The soldiers of Zhongzhen Camp cleaned up the remnants of Huguang Camp, and Li Guo and others were very excited, as if they had won a battle. Zhai Zhe personally stood here, which was the support of these people.

In the afternoon, the rain passed by and the sky was clear. A rainbow appeared in the south, scattering across both sides of the Yangtze River.

Several cavalry entered Zhongzhen Camp along the road along the river bank. Even the people and horses were soaked like chickens. The belly of the war horses was covered with mud spots.

The messenger of the secret camp has finally returned.

Zhai Zhe turned down everything and summoned the messenger to the account. His expression was like the sky before the rainstorm in the morning

The messenger first reported: "General Zuo and General Fang will arrive at the city of Jingzhou at the right time at the hour of the 19th."

Zhai Zhe just listened, listened quietly.

The information from the secret camp was far more than that. The inside story of Yuezhou Prefecture's delay in military opportunities made Zhai Zhe angry.

"Let them hurry up, hurry up." Zhai Zhe's right hand pressed on the sword around his waist.

The messenger changed his horse, came and left in a hurry.

If..., if Fang Guoan and Zuo Ruo successfully blocked Luke Dehun, Jingzhou City might have been in the hands of the Ming army. Although he took the opportunity to punish He Tengjiao, the situation in Huguang has become a mess.

The war in Huguang has lasted for almost half a year. If Dorgon had not captured Datong, even if he had killed these two people, it would have been useless. Zhai Zhe wanted to kill people for the first time.

"Why are you so disobedient? Why do you have to use your blood to remind you what to do

He has always reminded himself that killing cannot make the world better. A confident person should be able to allow more ideas to exist, except in war.

Dozens of miles away.

Two armies are trekking hard. What they are doing now is no easier than they have missed before.

Zuo Ruojun left Fang Guoan's army far behind, which was the strength of the most elite army in Jiangnan.

Zuo Ruo and Fang Guoan were not affiliated with each other, so he had no right to punish Fang Guoan. However, Yuezhou Prefecture failed to block the Qing army, and obviously wanted him and Fang Guoan to take the blame together.

Since Yu Qian attacked Zhang Cunren, he met Fang Guoan as a long time, but after this battle, the relationship between the two was almost over.

“Hurry up, hurry up”

Without Zhai Zhe's urging, Zuo Ruo was already marching at the fastest speed. He could not guess what Zhai Zhe would react, but obviously, his great contribution to regaining Huguang was about to be ruined.

This is really not my fault for Zuo Ruo’s heart. The whip in his hand was waving and slamming.

"Damn heavy rain" If there were no such rain, he would have arrived at the city of Jingzhou before dark. The road was muddy, and the carriage filled with bird guns and gunpowder would fall into the mud pit if he was not careful.

The messenger of the secret camp came back, and the general's order came, as well as the battle situation under the city of Jingzhou.

When Zuo Ruo heard that He Tengjiao's Huguang army was defeated under Jingzhou City this morning, his heart became heavier. These were their responsibilities.

Around the hour of Hai, the torches in the south of Jingzhou City were clear, and the Ming army finally arrived at the foot of Jingzhou City.

Because they knew that Zuo Ruo's troops were coming, the Qing soldiers did not dare to go out of the city to attack. Outside Hanyang City, they had confronted each other many times and knew their background.

Lukedehun stood at the top of Jingzhou city, looking at the swimming fire dragon in the distance, and was in confusion. Where should he go? Huguang was like a broken ship full of loopholes. His tens of thousands of soldiers covered the east and leaked the west.

Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi were ordered to lead their troops to come to pick them up. Zhai Zhe sent an order, ordering Zuo Ruo to lead his army to establish a camp at the Huguang Army camp that was only broken in the morning, and to rely on Zhongzhen Camp east and west.

Zuo Ruocai plundered some food from Yuezhou Prefecture and insisted on reaching the city of Jingzhou. There was only a lot of left. Zhongzhen Camp sent various supplies. Thirty thousand soldiers buried their bodies under the escort of Zhongzhen Camp and built a camp.

The blood on the ground had flowed into the Yangtze River with the rain, and most of the bodies were buried by the Zhongzhen Camp during the day. Zhai Zhe's move was like punishment. This defeat should have been avoided. Although the Huguang army was useless, it was the Ming army. After all, the Qing army won this victory and its morale was greatly shocked. I don't know when I would wait for another day to capture Jingzhou.

Zuo Ruojun spent a whole night before settling down the camp and the soldiers had a hot meal.

Fang Guoan's army arrived the next morning and gathered with Zuo Ruojun. He could not see anything on the surface, and he was also scared in his heart.

Zhai Zhe has never shown up, and the secret camp has hidden lines among the two soldiers. Ji Hong personally came here to report the experience of the two soldiers in Yuezhou Prefecture in detail.

The Ming army in Jiangnan is the family affairs of the General's Mansion and there is no need to explain it to others. Zhai Zhe was not in a hurry to deal with this matter. In the face of the great enemy, he still needs to rely on these two troops to deal with the Qing soldiers in Jingzhou City.

Zuo Ruo and Fang Guoan came to Zhongzhen Camp to pay homage to the general, and Zhai Zhe followed them back to the military camp in Jiangnan.

My family closes the door and deals with his own affairs.

Zhai Zhecai settled firmly in the central army tent.

Zuo Ruo knelt on one knee first and apologized: "The last general was unable to stop Luke Dehun in Yuezhou Prefecture, resulting in the defeat of Jingzhou City. Please punish the general."

From last night to now, the general's performance shows that this matter cannot be erased.

He told him in detail about the process of seeking supplies for Fang Guoan Army from entering Yuezhou Prefecture to capturing Anding Village, including Yang Zongxin's granddaughter being married to him, and in order to obtain food from Anding Village, he agreed.

He was indeed not at fault because he wanted to make contributions in Huguang, so he always did his best.

Fang Guoan was caught off guard and was unable to get out of the way by Zuo Ruo's actions. He grew up and couldn't speak. Zuo Ruo betrayed him.

Zhai Zhe turned his face and asked, "General Fang, what are you doing these days?"

"I am a young man, and I am not familiar with the place in Yuezhou Prefecture. I have to deal with the Qing soldiers and the village soldiers. I am really too busy to do it." Fang Guoan turned his head and looked around. The central army tent was full of personal guards in the general's office. He was a little scared. Before this morning, he was not so scared, because he had just heard that Zhang Kuang from the Governor General's Office of Huguang was beheaded and He Tengjiao was imprisoned. He was a general, and compared with the Governor General of Huguang, of course nothing was considered.
