Chapter 89 Captured alive

According to Hong Chengchou's character, he did things steadily and rarely made advances. After learning that the Yu's army blocked the way and the front was hit hard by the enemy's army. After the striker was defeated by the Yu's army, Hong Chengchou decided to divide his army into three ways to withstand the main force of the family's army in the front with the Shanxi division all the way, and then he and Sun Chuanting each led 15,000 elite Shaanxi Soldiers, enveloped from the two wings of the enemy, flanked the two wing lines of the family army, and strived to defeat the main rebel force with a clamp attack.

But if this time they meet an ordinary enemy, or even a slave army, Hong Chengchou's approach can be said to be wise, but unfortunately they encounter a new army that they are not familiar with, which is far surpasses many of them in technology and tactics.

After Meng Fei led the troops to set up the battle line, he quickly saw Hong Chengchou's strategy. After sneering, he directly ordered the Second Brigade to go out to fight, slammed the Shanxi soldiers and horses left by Hong Chengchou on the front battlefield, and gave the second brigade commander Zhang Changjie a death order, only giving him half an hour and half an hour. Within the Chen period, this Shanxi soldiers and horses of more than 10,000 people must be completely defeated.

And the remaining two brigades were placed on the two wings, forming a phalanx each, and the artillery was placed between the two phalanxes to form support for three sides at any time.

When Hong Chengchou ordered to start the action, Meng Fei also issued the order to take action. The three brigade gun battalions and an independent artillery battalion on the artillery position of the Yu family army immediately fired all the artillery of the four battalions and concentrated their fire to hit the Shanxi soldiers and horses in the front first.

The more than 10,000 Shanxi officers and soldiers placed on the front by Hong Chengchou were unlucky, and the shells hit them like hail.

These Shanxi officers and soldiers themselves are not very elite soldiers and horses. Suddenly, they suffered such fierce shelling, and the whole front collapsed even if the whole line collapsed.

Zhang Changjie led the second brigade and was just a charge. It was useless for even two quarters of an hour. It was like a tiger into a sheep. They beat these officers and soldiers and dispersed on the spot. Many officers and soldiers were directly scared to kneel down and surrender, and they dared not say anything to fight against the Yu's army.

Hong Chengchou originally led his troops to attack the left-wing front of the family army from the right wing. He originally hoped that the front Shanxi officers and soldiers in front of him were unbearable, but at least insisted that after he could attack the enemy's flank, he could contain the main force of the family army at that time, but he did not expect that the Shanxi soldiers would be so unbearable. Point, he was beaten by Yu Jiajun face to face and fled directly.

And the pincer attack launched by him and Sun Chuanting's two wings also lost cooperation. Meng Fei immediately ordered the artillery to be divided into two groups and turn the gun mouths at the Shaanxi soldiers pressed by the two wings and began to fire. Although these Shaanxi soldiers have been fighting for a long time and have a stronger bearing capacity than Shanxi soldiers, they have been making friends with the extremely simple civilian army all year round. Zhan, how can you encounter such a fierce fire attack!

Even if their cavalry is relatively powerful, they can't catch up with the Guanning Army, which is good at cavalry, and their equipment is not as good as Guanning Army. In front of the artillery fire of the family army, they have suffered great losses. Even if they insist on not being defeated, there is chaos.

Under the strong pressure of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, although these Shaanxi soldiers finally resisted the artillery fire of the family army, when they approached the family army front, the fire and bullets that came to their faces let them see what it was like rain.

Can people be more shameless? Hong Chengchou almost vomited blood and couldn't open the city. Seeing that the pursuers had arrived, he had to continue to escape.

Meng Fei seems to have made up his mind to bite Hong Chengchou, send two cavalry with the captured war horses, and change horses without changing people. He has been chasing Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou is so bitter! He was chased by the Yu army like a bereaved dog, and the remaining less than 100 personal soldiers. After Baoding, all the horses have been lost.

After passing Baoding City, there were only more than 20 soldiers and horses left beside Hong Chengchou, who could protect him and continue to escape, while the remaining soldiers' horses were already alive and killed on the roadside.

And those cavalry of the family army who chased Hong Chengchou this time were all single and two horses. When the war horses were tired, they changed horses, so they always hung behind Hong Chengchou like maggots of the tarsus, so that Hong Chengchou didn't even have time to drink water and could only keep running away.

Along the way, the cavalry of Yu's army chased Hong Chengchou hundreds of miles and chased Hong Chengchou to the territory of Qizhou in Baoding Prefecture. Hong Chengchou finally couldn't escape. At this time, he and all his horses were exhausted and were driven to a small river. At this time, there were only five relatives left beside Hong Chengchou. .

Hong Chengchou originally wanted to draw his sword and cut himself, but when he went to draw his sword, he found that he didn't know where he had lost when he escaped. There was no guy who could cut his neck on his body. He asked his own soldiers for a waist knife, but his own soldiers said nothing.

Hong Chengchou wanted to tear his clothes and get a piece of cloth to hang the tree, but he finally hung the rope. As soon as his neck reached into the rope, the tree branch was interrupted on the spot with a gunshot. Hong Chengchou fell heavily to the ground and couldn't even hang himself. At this time, a group of Yu's army's pursuers were approaching. Just now, it was a A sharpshooter saw Hong Chengchou hanging from afar and shot and broke the tree branch.

Hong Chengchou plunged into the river and was ready to drown himself, but when he plunged into the river, he found that the river only flooded his thighs and could not drown people at all.

Hong Chengchou cursed angrily, and then cried loudly. He knelt in the river and kowtowed repeatedly in the direction of the capital, saying that he was sorry to the emperor. As a result, after a while, he was surrounded by the Yu family army and captured alive.

After the cavalry company took Hong Chengchou, they immediately turned around and returned, but when they arrived at Baoding City, they found that Baoding City had changed its flag and was controlled by the Yu family army.

It turned out that Meng Fei chased Hong Chengchou all the way. After leading the army to Baoding Mansion, Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, actually opened the gate and went out to welcome Yu's army. He called the Yu's army the king's army. He respectfully welcomed Meng Fei into the city and flattered Meng Fei and sent Meng Fei a generous gift, saying that he was very supportive of Yu Xiao this time. When Tian entered the side of the Qing Dynasty, he was willing to follow the order of filial piety.

Meng Fei did not move, received his salute, and comforted him with kind words, which made Zhang Qiping feel relieved. Then he led his troops into the city to take over the defense of Baoding City, and then disarmed the defenders in Baoding City, temporarily moved them outside the city, waiting to accept the adaptation.
