Chapter 209 The Fate of the Old Boss
A large number of officers and soldiers arrived in Anqing Prefecture by boat from the Yangtze River. After landing, they began to rush to Anqing Prefecture under the leadership of Han, Guangmei and Huang Degong.
Huang Degong really took a breath this time. Now when he mentions Xing Tianjun, he hates his teeth. He has never been so humiliated in his life. He will be unlucky when he meets Xing Tianjun. As long as he meets him once, he will lose once. Every time he recovers, he will quickly fall into the hands of Xing Tianjun. It can be said that He has never taken any advantage in the hands of Xing Tianjun.
This time, after he lost all his soldiers and horses and fled to Chuzhou, even if he was temporarily arrested by Ding Qirui and locked in Chuzhou prison. He thought he might be beheaded by the court, but in the end, Ding Qirui was really useless, so he gritted his teeth and restarted him. Huang Degong was able to lead the army again. Attacking the Xingtian army, so Huang Degong can be said to have used his strength to eat milk this time. With these 5,000 Chizhou soldiers, he went to the city of Anqing Prefecture day and night.
And the Han and Guangmei led more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of Jiujiang Mansion, and quickly rushed to Anqing Mansion and joined Huang Degong. Huang Degong is now waiting for sin, so he can only listen to the dispatch of Han and Guangmei.
After the two met, Han and Guangmei asked Huang Degong to be responsible for attacking the east gate of Anqing Mansion, while he was responsible for attacking the west gate of Anqing Mansion. The two sides attacked Anqing Mansion and vowed to take back Anqing Mansion in one fell swoop, so the two led their own troops and began to launch a fierce attack on Anqing Mansion.
After Liu Yao attacked Anqing Prefecture and controlled the city of Anqing Prefecture, he immediately carried out peace in the city. After entering the city, he only captured the officials of the city and several large families, but he did nothing wrong with other residents in the city as much as possible, and the day after he captured Anqingfu, he was strong. Make the grain merchants in the city open for business and not allow them to sell grain at high prices, so as to ensure that the residents in the city will not starve because of their actions.
In addition, the soldiers of the Xing Tianjun will walk in the city, and they will also buy and sell equally. No one is allowed to buy or sell or disturb the people. Even for those prisoners, they will not beat or scold them. Each soldier will be given five taels of silver to go out of the city and go home separately, so that they will not to sell their lives for the government in the future. Many of them are officers and soldiers. Even if he said that he didn't want this money and was willing to follow Xing Tianjun, Liu Yao chose these prisoners on the spot, leaving hundreds of people to be integrated into each battalion to replenish his strength.
After a few days, the residents in the city basically settled down. Compared with the government, although Xing Tianjun implemented military management, the discipline of Xing Tianjun was strict, and there were very few things that harmed the people. After entering the city, only two incidents of Xing Tianjun soldiers harassed the people. At one time, a soldier was greedy for a woman. The beauty jumped into the family's yard in the middle of the night and raped the woman. Another time, when a soldier was patrolling at night, he sneaked into a house to steal things, but was found by the family and shouted, the soldier killed the family's man and escaped from the yard.
However, after the two cases were sued by Liu Yao, even if Liu Yao ordered the guards to investigate thoroughly in the army, he immediately caught the two guys. Without saying a word, it was convenient for everyone to be cut, and the head was hanging on the head of the city. Therefore, the people of Anqing Prefecture praised Xing Tianjun for this, so basically not many people hated them.
After a few days of rest, Liu Yao's department also basically recovered his physical strength, his spirit returned to them, and obtained a large number of food supplies and some armors from the government in the city, thus enhancing their equipment.
With the arrival of Han, Guangmei and Huang Degong's troops, Liu Yao was not afraid at all. First, he contracted his troops into the city and retreated several attacks of the officers on the east and west sides of the city. Suddenly, Liu Yao led his troops to open the west gate, led a battalion out of Anqing Mansion, and rushed to the west gate. The troops of Han and Guangmei fought against Han and Guangmei as soon as they fought. They had to withdraw more than ten miles away before they could take over the soldiers and horses. If it hadn't been for Liu Yao's lack of troops, this battle would have basically killed Han and Guangmei, but in this case, they were so scared Han and Guangmei to dare not attack Anqingfu again.
On the contrary, Huang Degong fought very lively and resolutely in the first two days. Huang Degong personally supervised the array and launched repeated attacks on the East Gate, but after being repelled several times, Huang Degong also stopped. It was not that he didn't want to fight again, but that the Chizhou soldiers under his command were unwilling to fight. These Chizhou soldiers were not Huang Degong's hands. ** Although Ding Qirui ordered Huang Degong to control them to provide Anqingfu this time, the soldiers and generals were not familiar with each other, and the training of the 5,000 state soldiers was very poor, and their equipment was not very good. They had no fighting spirit at all. After several strong attacks, they not only did they not achieve any results, but they were the loss of soldiers and generals, so they did not I want to fight again.
Huang Degong is not a soldier brought out by himself. Although he wants to get rid of the shame this time, he doesn't dare to force him too tightly if he doesn't do it. Once he is in a hurry, these officers and soldiers will mutiny, which is not a joke. Deng Wei, the general of Sichuan, was in Fancheng because his generals, forced him to jump. The wall escaped and fell to death under the wall.
Huang Degong knew the way to lead the army. He knew that in this case, he could only be led by the soldiers, so he had to reluctantly stop the siege and confront the Xingtian army outside the city.
Liu Yao was actually very difficult to fight. When every firearmed man in his hand came, he only brought 40 or 50 paper shell bullets. Because he marched in the rain, some paper shell bullets were still damp and scrapped. The number of bullets that can be used is very limited. After three days of fire, they basically run out of ammunition. They had to make the soldiers take materials on the spot and use of them. The gunpowder from Anqing Prefecture also collected lead and tin and replenished ammunition by itself.
Fortunately, this is a relatively primitive musket. If it were a rifle of future generations, then Liu Yao would have been blind now. It was impossible to make his own ammunition. In this way, a batch of ammunition was replenished.
After being afraid of Han and Guangmei, Liu Yaoben turned his head and stared at Huang Degong's department in the east of the city. When he learned that it was Huang De's power department this time, Liu Yaoben laughed after hearing this. They were really predestined with Huang Degong. Since they first met Huang Degong and fought with Huang Degong a few years ago, Now they have been with Huang Degong more than a few times. This Huang Degong is really a little strong. He has been defeated and repeatedly. If it were someone else, as long as he heard the name of Xing Tianjun, he would have fled with the wind. However, this Huang Degong is really brave. He actually led the army to find the door again. No wonder someone gave him the nickname Huang Chuangzi. I can't but admire his tenacity and courage.
So on June 19, Liu Yaoben left part of his troops to continue to stare at Han and Guangmei's troops in the west of the city, and he repeated his old skills again, leading a half-war barracks out of the west gate and rushed straight to Huang Degong.
Huang Degong also happened to go through a lot of mobilization, and he was rewarded and comforted. He finally mobilized some morale and went out of the battalion to attack Anqingfu again. Unexpectedly, the defenders suddenly opened the door and rushed out of the city and rushed towards him.
So Huang Degong quickly adjusted his deployment and fought against Liu Yaoben. The two generals showed their magical powers and launched a fight in the east of Anqingfu City. Although Huang Degong was eager to take revenge, the Chizhou soldiers under his hands were not good enough. The officers and soldiers who had already fought with him collapsed, leaving only a few hundred old people around Huang Degong. His subordinates were still by Huang Degong's side and were immediately surrounded by Liu Yaoben.
Huang Degong is so desperate! Seeing that the soldiers under his command retreated like a mountain, he really wanted to cry without tears. He killed several deserters in a row with two whips in a row, but he did not stop these soldiers. He watched thousands of officers and soldiers flee like a scattered sand.
His family took Huang Degong's rein and persuaded Huang Degong to run away quickly, but Huang Degong looked up to the sky and laughed. This laughter revealed a strong bitterness and unwillingness, which seemed extremely complicated. Huang Degong shouted, "If Huang loses again today, what face will he look like? Between the world? How can the court let me go, Mr. Huang? Instead of fleeing back and being arrested by the court, it's better to die here! You can run for your own life! I, Huang, will die here today!"
After saying that, Huang Degong urged the war horse to run towards Liu Yaoben, and some of his old subordinates did not want to die here. They turned around and fled from the battlefield, and dozens of loyal family members stayed and followed Huang Degong to Xing Tianjun, which was several times more than them.
Originally, the fireman wanted to kill Huang Degong and his dozens of officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, but it was stopped by Liu Yaoben's order. Liu Yaoben ordered Huang Degong to surround the group of people in the middle. Huang Degong was really a fierce general, waving two whips left and right, killing more than a dozen members of the Xing Tianjun in a row, and he The family members of his men also summoned up Yu Yong and fought desperately with Huang Degong, but in the end, because of the disparity in strength, and Xing Tianjun was good at fighting, Huang Degong's horse was finally stabbed to the ground. After falling to the ground, he was captured alive, and dozens of loyal and brave men under him were eventually killed on the spot. .
Xiao Tianjian has mentioned Huang Degong in front of Liu Yaoben several times. He admires Huang Degong very much. Liu Yaoben also has a good impression on Huang Degong. Although the two sides in front of the two armies are the masters and kill endlessly, once Huang Degong is captured alive, Liu Yao really did not order to kill. He.
Liu Yaoben ordered Huang Degong to bandage the wound and bring him into the city to take good care of him. However, Huang Degong was not ungratic and repeatedly asked him to kill him. However, Liu Yao did not kill him, but returned several familymen who were captured alive to him. He was responsible for taking care of Huang Degong and specially drew a special one in the city. A clean small yard was placed with Huang Degong, so Huang Degong could not die in the end, but became a prisoner of the Xing Tian Army.
After the news that Huang Degong's army collapsed and Huang Degong was also captured alive spread to Han and Guangmei's ears, Han and Guangmei were even more frightened. It was false to attack Anqing Mansion. At present, he can protect his people and horses from this group of extremely tough criminal thieves. He was grateful to kill him, so Han and Guangmei immediately gave up attacking Anqing Mansion, led their troops to retreat to Wangjiang County, and gave up the attack on Anqing Mansion.
At this time, the news also came from Jiujiang Mansion that Luo Rucai, who was sitting in Huguang Town, led his troops to go down the river from Ezhou and went straight to Jiujiang Mansion, so Han and Guangmei's buttocks were not warm in Wangjiang County, so they quickly boarded the boat and rushed back to Jiujiang Mansion.
At this point, the danger of Anqing Mansion has been lifted. Ding Qirui no longer has the ability to send troops to recapture Anqing Mansion. Liu Yaoben, a member of people, made the whole Nanzhili's government feel uncomfortable in Anqing Mansion, especially in Jiujiang Mansion. Liu Yaoben of Anqing Mansion in the east is behind them, and Luo Rucai's department in the west. The march of troops is marching towards Jiujiang Mansion, which makes Han, Guangmei and the officials and soldiers of Jiujiang Mansion very panic, and the military heart is even more scattered. Many officials simply proposed to give up Jiujiang Mansion and retreat directly to Chizhou or simply retreat to Nanjing to pull down. Such an argument makes Jiujiang Mansion more frustrated. No more.
