Chapter 172 The Arrival of Reinforcements 2

The end of the battle was that the Qing army withdrew from the Yellow River and camped 30 miles away, and then the Guards, the Lions and Wolf Roareders camped on the spot. It's already night. The weather is still cold, and the ice on the Yellow River is thicker.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Yuan, Wang Shitou, Ma Peng and others are sitting together to analyze the enemy.

Zhang Yuan said, "Brother Wang told the Qing army that the Qing army was defeated and Azig was captured. The Qing army will definitely shake the army's heart and morale will decline. However, after all, Duoduo is a powerful person. We still have to be careful. Maybe he can boost the morale of those soldiers.

Ma Peng said, "Now the Qing soldiers have less than 20,000 horses. There is nothing to fear. Our three regiments can destroy them together."

Zhang Yuan sighed heavily and said, "Brother Ma, you don't know anything. Now our wolf roar regiment has lost a lot. The data of the first battalion has just been counted that there are less than 200 people, and there are still 400 people left in the second battalion. As for the third battalion, because most of them are archers and some of them protect the regiment, there are not much. Casualties. Now there are only a thousand people left in our wolf roaring group. More than 1,000 horses were lost in this battle. Moreover, there are not many soldiers and horses in your army. The total number of our three regiments is only more than 3,000. It's really..."

Wang Shi said, "In this case, we have to wait until the general leads more troops. However, now because of the battle of the Hulao Pass, all our battalions are not much. Zhang Liang's new regiment has now been adapted into a leopard cavalry regiment, with only more than 1,400 people. The Hu Ben regiment has also suffered huge losses, and now there are still some left. 1,300 people, as for the second new regiment stationed in Tongguan now, it can't move. Yingyang Camp is only 400 people, and more than 30 people were killed and injured when the grain was burned.

Zhang Yuan said sadly, "So, the Tiger Corps, the Pro-Wei Corps, the Leopard Cavalry Corps, the Lion Corps, and my Wolf Roar Regiment together are less than 10,000..."

"Bear by the way, how many troops have we captured?" Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and asked.

Ma Peng said, "We captured 20,000 people at Hu Prison Pass, and there are also thousands of people in Hangu Pass, but these troops are not available now! If they defect in battle, we will make it even worse.

Zhang Yuan's face turned bitter and said, "Well, brothers, go back to rest. Tomorrow we will see how the army is. If they beat us, we will guard it. If they don't fight, we will rest until the general arrives, and we will make plans."

The weather is getting colder and colder day by day. It has entered November. The cold weather has caused many soldiers frostbite.

The next day, there was no movement in the Qing army. They didn't know what they were doing. In fact, Duoduo is considering whether to withdraw at this time. After all, Azig's 70,000 troops have been defeated. It doesn't make sense if he survives. However, if he can eliminate all Meng Jin's troops, it's still okay to enter Luoyang, regardless of the fact that now he can't eliminate the Pingbei army of thousands of people.

"Report!"

At this time, a scout walked in and said respectfully to Duoduo, "Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, Prince Ying, Prince Ying was indeed defeated and was captured by the Ming army."

"Humph!" Duoduo snorted coldly, threw down everything on the table and said, "Damn Hangou, I will never forgive you!"

"Wu Sangui and Shang Shang are happy?"

The scout said, "To the prince, it is said that Wu Sangui led 10,000 people to Hubei, and Shang Kexi also followed him."

"Hubei?" Duoduo was surprised.

"What are they doing in Hubei?"

The scout said, "I told the prince that the little one had not yet found out what they were going to do in Hubei. On that day, the grain and grass were burned, and the army was unstable. At this time, the Ming army in the Hu Prison Pass took the opportunity to send troops and broke through the battalion in one fell swoop. Many soldiers scattered and fled. Wu Sangui and Shang was happy to gather their own soldiers urgently, and then fled. In the end, Kong Youde and Prince Ying were captured by the Ming army.

After hearing this, Duoduo's eyes showed blood red. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Sangui! It's still welcome! You two are really good. You only care about yourself to escape, and actually fall into the hands of the twelve brothers into the hands of the enemy. When you return to the capital, you will definitely look good!"

"I have to break through Luoyang and save my brother! It must be broken through Luoyang. If the order goes on, it is said that the twelfth brother was not defeated. Those Ming troops came from the Hangu Pass, not from the Hu Prison Pass. That is to say, none of the soldiers of the Hu Prison Pass have come, and they are facing the 70,000 troops of the twelfth brother. Humph, as long as Liu Xia doesn't come, then I believe that no one can expose this lie. Go!"

"Yes!" The waiter listened and went down.

According to Duoduo's orders, the guards soon spread the news that Azig was not defeated. These Ming troops came from the Hangu Pass. Soon the whole army knew about this matter, and morale gradually returned.

On this day, neither side moved, and passed the cold winter day safely.

Liu Xia has left the Hubao Pass. Liu Xia handed over the Hu Prison Pass to the guard. She led the Hu Ben Regiment. The Hu Ben Regiment is also a full cavalry. Although the Hu Ben Regiment has lost a lot of people before, there are still many people who can fight in the Hu Ben Regiment. At present, Liu Xia has not killed some vacancies that died in the battle. After completing the supplement, I will bring the Hu Bentuan directly.

For the other 20,000 surrenders, Liu Xia temporarily handed them over to Zhang Liang. After all, Zhang Liang has served as the head of the new regiment for a long time, so he is still very experienced in training new recruits to brainwash the recruits.

"According to the news, the general will be able to reach it this afternoon. We are all ready to welcome the general!" Wang Shitou said to Zhang Yuande and others in the tent in the camp.

Zhang Yuan looked happy and said, "Is the general really coming?"

Wang Shitou said, "Is there any fake? It will come this afternoon."

Zhang Yuan immediately said to Jiang Xin, "Go and send the news of the general's arrival to the governor of Mengjin County and prepare the governor of Mengjin County. After all, the general can't let us live by the cold Yellow River, but it's better to live in the city."

Jiang Xin listened to the promise and hurried down and went to Mengjin City.

"Report!"

"To all the generals, the Qing army has sent 5,000 cavalry to cross the Yellow River."

"What!" Everyone exclaimed.

According to the analysis of the night before yesterday, the Qing army should be unstable! How can Duoduo dare to send troops?

"Is it possible that Duoduo has solved the military heart of the Qing army?" Ma Peng was puzzled.

Zhang Yuan said, "This is the only possibility. Otherwise, Duo Duo will not send troops at this time."

"Gather all the troops immediately, and the artillery is ready!"

Da Da Da Da Da Da, a sound of horseshoes like an earthquake, and the galloping scene of 5,000 battles appeared in front of everyone.

"Fight!"

"Woo-woo-woo~~~"

All the people of the Guards Regiment rode on their horses and charged away.

"Kill!!!"

At this time, Liu Xia led the Hu Ben group and took the 20 Hu Ben group to Meng Jin at the same time. Liu Xia's Hu Ben regiment, the Qinwei regiment and the male lion regiment set out at the same time, but Liu Xia brought some more artillery, which made the journey slower.

Looking at the heavy snow on the ground, Liu Xia couldn't help sighing and said, "If only there was a train! If there is a train, you don't have to pull things so hard. You just need the train to pass, and you will have everything.

"Yes! To repair the train, I don't know if the world's first train has appeared. I remember that the early train seemed to be made of a steam engine. After this battle, a department specializing in science and technology must be set up to make the train and then lay the rails, so that the control of the territory will be greatly increased.

Liu Xia rode on the horse and looked at the uneven ground and thought to herself.

"Report! General, we will reach Mengjin City in fifty miles!"

Liu Xia smiled and said, "Okay! Accelerate forward. You must arrive at Mengjin as soon as possible and solve the Qing army as soon as possible. I don't know how the situation is now!"

"I will take the Huben Regiment first, and Wang Xiaotong will lead the artillery team to follow."

Wang Xiaotong said respectfully, "I'm on your orders!"
