Chapter 279 Bloody Battle in Pingxiang 4
After a burst of shelling, the 30,000 soldiers and horses from the Qing army have been killed and injured, and some have secretly fled the battlefield and deserted.
There are now only more than 20,000 soldiers on the battlefield who are intact and have gathered at the orders of Oboi. Of the 10,000 troops missing, only more than 1,000 were killed or accidentally injured by shells, and two or three thousand were injured. In the end, the remaining six or seven thousand were deserters, and now they don't know where they have fled.
After a period of summoning, Ao Baijian summoned 20,000 troops, and he was already very satisfied. If he had not given that order before, it was estimated that the number of troops that could be summoned back would be only 10,000.
Ao Bai looked at the miserable situation around him, and there was a burst of sadness in his heart. He lost too miserably. He has never lost so miserably since his debut. In front of him is Pingxiang County. He knows that the number of troops inside is only 5,000 or 6,000, but now he has lost the advantage of artillery, and it is impossible to take this small county.
"Today's defeat is really my shame! He will definitely raze the city of Pingxiang to the ground and burn it to your ashes! Destroy the Han people in the world and let these Han dogs go to hell!"
At this time, there are two roads in front of Oboi, one of which is to continue to besiege Pingxiang County. Now Liu Xia has brought troops back to the south, resulting in 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city being alone. Presumably there must be not much food and fodder in the city.
If you keep surrounding it until the Pingbei army runs out of food and fodder, it will naturally come out and surrender. However, this road takes a long time, and I still don't know how the war in the south is. If Wu Sangui is defeated, maybe Liu Xia will immediately return to help, so without knowing whether Liu Xia will send troops back to help, this road is not good, and now Beijing is also in trouble and a big deal. Beijing was just messed up by Huo Yande. It needs a large number of people to rebuild houses, etc. It also needs strong defense. There is certainly not too much food and fodder. It is estimated that there is not so much time for him to besiege a county for a long time. Judging from the current situation of the Qing court, Dorgom will certainly not give him too much time.
Their time in the Qing Dynasty is running out. This year is no better than in those years. In the past, it was where the Qing army passed, but now there are Han people fighting everywhere.
As for the other way, it is to retreat. Go back to Julu and wait for the soldiers to recover, build siege equipment, and then come here to besiege Pingxiang County. This road must be retreated first, and there is enough time to cut down trees, build ladders, etc. But now Haug is in a coma, and he can't make this decision. If he retreats because he makes his own initiative, and the regent will blame him at that time, he will naturally not be able to take responsibility. Therefore, this road is not good. Unless Haag personally says that he will retreat, Ao Bai can't retreat. Oboi couldn't help having a headache.
It's a dilemma. What should I do? Retired or not! Oboi just wanted that Hag to wake up quickly.
"Your Majesty, your Royal Highness! You should wake up quickly and make an idea! Now our army really can't retreat or enter!"
For the sake of safety, Ao Bai led his troops to retreat to a place where the artillery could not be fired on the Pingxiang Tower. He took the opportunity to pull back more than 20 cannons in red. Haoge was surrounded by soldiers and was closely protected, and a fly could not fly in at this time.
Ao Bai is a general. His mind is not too developed, and he can't think of any peerless tricks in his heart. He only relies on heroism in fighting. Oboi is like a demon king of the world. If he leads the army by himself, he can fight as much as he wants. But now there is still Prince Su Haoge here. Even if he was afraid of him in history as an emperor during the Kangxi period, he is just an ordinary general at this time. Now Aobai is not at all wrong. The heart of the minister.
"How's Prince Su?" Ao Bai camped here for the time being, sending people to collect the bones of the soldiers and bury them. Although Ao Bai looked down on the Han people, after all, these were his own people and buried their bodies. However, the way to bury these corpses is also very simple. Dig a big pit, then throw all the dead bodies down, and finally fill the soil, and it will be done. The real ten thousand pits!
At the same time, he sent scouts to search the villagers in Shilibaxiang, but the people in Shilibaxiang were moved away by Liu Xia at the beginning of the previous battle. Those scouts turned around and found no one. They were aggrieved and scolded by Oboi. However, Oboi had no choice but to let the soldiers take care of Haug and make no more problems.
When the guard who took care of Hauge next to him heard Ao Bai's inquiry, he immediately replied, "The prince's breathing has gradually stabilized, and his face has returned to normal, but I don't know why he still didn't wake up. He must have been in a coma and woke up automatically after a few hours. Now that there is no doctor here, it is difficult for us to judge what's wrong with the prince.
Ao Bai listened and gradually relaxed in his heart. As long as his breathing is stable, that's good. As for waking up and not waking up, it is secondary. Anyway, as long as you are alive, at worst, let the imperial doctor treat you after returning to the palace. Oboi said, "You can look nearby to see if you can find the medicinal herbs, and then cook them for the prince. Find a few more women to take care of them. In addition, inform the generals in Julu City to respond at all times.
After hearing this, those guards quickly said, "Yes, I obey!" After saying that, they were busy with the task assigned to them by Ao Bai.
"Report!"
At this moment, a rapid sound of scout came, and he quickly ran to Ao Bai's side, took a breath, kept wiping the bean-sized sweat on his forehead, and said anxiously, "General, it's not good. There are a large number of cavalry in the distance!" A lot of cavalry--"
"A large number of cavalry!" After listening to it, his hair stood up. Damn it! How can there be cavalry at this time? Oboi kept praying in his heart that it was his own cavalry. Perhaps Prince Yu returned to help them with the Eight Banners. Prince Yu had defeated Huo Yandegang, and maybe he was sent by the regent again. Thinking of this, Oboi quickly asked, "I can see it clearly, but is it our iron horse in the Qing Dynasty?" Did Prince Yu lead the people who came to help? Oboi's eyes were full of expectations, hoping that the scout said it was the elite of the Eight Banners, and the leader was Duoduo.
But the scout was obviously going to disappoint Ao Bai. The scout was still wiping sweat, and his whole body was wet with sweat. He said in fear, "No, no, the general's cavalry is a Pingbei army in black armor, not Prince Yu."
Before the scout's words were over, he only felt that his feet were turbulent, like an earthquake.
"Earthquake!"
The guards next to him hurriedly exclaimed.
Ao Bai frowned and scolded, "This is not an earthquake, but the enemy's cavalry. Damn it, it came so quickly. It's really fast. Hurry up, gather troops!" Gather your troops and stop those cavalry!"
After saying that, Ao Bai wanted to walk out of the tent temporarily set up by Hauge, but when he walked to the door, he turned his head and said to the four or five guards inside, "Protect the prince. In case of an accident, you will definitely take the prince to escape!" Did you hear it all?" Obviously, Oboi has not seen this battle well, and he is entrusting at this time.
"According to the Han people, this is really a house leak and it rains all night! Damn cavalry, why did you come at this time? How did Ao Bai know at this time that this was just a scene designed by Liu Xia and Li Wen.
Zhang Yang excitedly rushed to the 20,000 soldiers and horses that had just been summoned by Ao Bai, who had not yet prepared.
Five thousand elite riders fight against 20,000 infantry. The result can be imagined that as long as the general is not a fool, he will definitely win if he attacks without the enemy's knowledge. Zhang Yang has smelled the bloody smell of blood splashing on his face. That feeling is so comfortable.
Drive! Drive!
"Brothers, go! Let these thirs see how powerful our Fengxiangwei is! Destroy the stings!"
"Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong~~"
The drums in Pingxiang City resounded like thunder, all over the world. Zhang Yuan walked into it and personally beat the drum for Zhang Yang. The soldiers on the city of Pingxiang also shouted loudly and their morale soared.
"Kill!"
