The crowd of officials and soldiers on the avenue was moving slowly, and people were walking slowly and heavy, like a group of people wearing shackles.
A sergeant's leather water bag was leaking, and the water was constantly leaking out, wetting his leather armor and trouser legs.
When he noticed it, he took off the water bag and shook it, and a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face.
The sky has cleared, the sun setting in the west is shining in the sky, and the mountains in the east are standing in the distance, which is particularly clear and green in the sun.
The sergeant holding the broken water bag turned to look to the west. Not far away, there was a clear river, and the sparkling water surface was particularly attractive.
The sergeant licked his dry lips and suddenly ran towards the river bank.
return!The shouts of generals coming from behind, who told you to leave the team without authorization?
The sergeant didn't care about that much, and he threw himself on the riverside, then he reached out to pour water on his face, and then he lay there and couldn't get up.He just wanted to lie here, but he was not the only one who fell behind along the way.
At this time, the official army was like the leaking water bag, abandoning its troops all the time along the way.
Those who fall behind are sick, sprained feet, and weak and unable to hold on to the march. Naturally, some depressed soldiers also mixed in to pretend to be sick.
Night is the worst time when the number of people has dropped sharply, and many people will run away at night.
The Battle of Yangshuo took place on August 17, and the government troops fought fiercely all day.When night fell, the official army gave up the battle, and most of them crossed the Anle River and began the retreat.
On the night of the 17th, the official army lost more than 30% of its troops due to the chaos of the defeated team and the siege of the defenders.
The troops retreated from the battlefield did not rest well in one night. After another eighteen days of marching, fatigue was approaching the limit of people's endurance.
So yesterday evening on the 18th, Wu Gao was caught by the rebels' forward and did not dare to retreat easily.
But just last night, the main force of the rebels marched overnight and approached the official camp... Wu Gao did not think that the official army still had any combat effectiveness and morale. At that time, the soldiers were exhausted, the ammunition and arrows were exhausted and they could not be replenished. People were still shrouded in fear and worry about defeat.
Wu Gao had to order to deport the camp overnight to escape the rebels' attack range.
So last night, the official army lost countless people on the march, at least no less than 10,000 people.Today, the government army has not been able to rest all day and can only continue on the road...
The main rebel army was advancing to the west of the official army, and it had almost stopped all day long. The two armies were separated by a small river, and in a narrower place in a flat area, you could even see the figures of the rebels with your eyes!
This parallel pursuit tactic is completely a competition of the physical strength of the soldiers on both sides.
Wu Gao had no choice, because the official army could not stop and had to arrive at Guilin Mansion before the rebels!
Otherwise, they would not have any chance to regain their combat power.
From Yangshuo County to Guilin Prefecture City, there are only 160 or 70 miles, and it takes four days to reach the normal marching.The official army has left Yangshuo County for two days and two nights, but the remaining less than a hundred miles of road seems to be farther than the horizon!
Until this afternoon, Wu Gao had lost more than half of the total force.
At this moment, the people on the road stopped moving forward one after another.The army gradually became noisy, and some soldiers were confused and thought they would have to rest in advance today.
Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin under the Central Army, heard what a knight said quietly, and sat on the horse's back and looked forward for a long time.
After a long time, he finally spoke to the military generals around him: It's really a pity that it's time for us to say goodbye.
The generals looked at Wu Gao with a serious expression.
Wu Gaodao: I will be transferred to Guangxi for several months, and I have witnessed my brothers performing their duties for the country and not being ashamed of the court... He looked up at the banner with the black Ming Dynasty written on it. There will always be a victory or defeat on the battlefield. We have to face failure and desperate situations.I and you all try my best, but I still can't get rid of the desperate situation.
He finally told the news just now: The rebels had marched to our north, and after wading through a shallow, they intercepted the official road ahead.
Among them, there were unwilling military generals who hurriedly said: Let’s disperse our troops and bypass the enemy camp!
Wu Gao refused to comment and remained silent.
At this moment, both sides were quite tired, but the situation of the rebels was obviously much better than that of the official army.
The rebels not only had full confidence after the victory, but also had almost no experience of marching all night since Pingyuefu a few days ago, and they had better rest than the officers and soldiers.
Otherwise, the rebels would not have been able to catch up with the Guan Jun and appear in front of them.
As for the dispersed journeys mentioned by the generals, Wu Gao could see the results without thinking too much and directly: the soldiers of the riots who lost their military discipline and constraints would definitely stay and rest without authorization, and some people would lose their establishment and collapse soon.
The rebels would not divide their troops and try to continue to pursue the scattered official troops; they would advance straight to Guilin Prefecture, first control the government of the Guangxi Provincial Administration, and then gradually collect those mobs that were powerless to resist.
At this time, as an army, Wu Gao realized that they were completely finished!
Wu Gao, who is over 60 years old, has been leading troops to fight before and has never felt that he is old.
And at this moment, he truly realized that life had come to an end.
Moreover, the end of his military life is obviously not very glorious.
So Wu Gao couldn't help but sigh again: It's such a pity.
All the generals were also infected by the atmosphere, and all of them were sad, and some men's eyes even turned red.
Perhaps there is also sorrow in addition to regrets and sorrow. There is nothing more sad in this world than defeat.
The soldiers fought bloody, sweaty, and bloody battles, sacrificing countless lives and suffering, but in the end they only received shame and guilt!
With such an ending, Wu Gaolian had nothing to say. He sat quietly for a while, then slowly reached his hand to the hilt of the sword.
Swish!Wu Gao decisively drew his waist knife.
Married man!A general shouted, pounced on him without hesitation, and suddenly threw Wu Gao down.The generals dismounted one after another and surrounded Wu Gao and held Wu Gao down. A group of people hurriedly persuaded him.
Wu Gao struggled for a while and glared: I must die!A hundred thousand army... I have lost so many people, as the head coach, I can't give up the blame!After a while, you will take my husband's head and ask the King of Han to surrender!
Suddenly someone said: We might as well go together. The brothers are all rebels and follow the Marquis of Jiangyin.
After hearing this, Wu Gao suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: I am old, why should I be humiliated again?Although this general was defeated, he was also a founding noble of the Ming Dynasty. What are you afraid of death?
Bang!Before Wu Gao finished speaking, someone suddenly slapped his chin and fainted.
The generals turned their heads in shock and saw the general who was showing off.
The man's eyes were red, and he was the martial man who just said he would surrender to the King of Han together.
He looked back at everyone's gaze, his face felt embarrassed, his mouth twitched before whispering: Take the Marquis of Jiangyin with us, will we surrender?
Everyone agreed.
At this time, the warrior climbed onto the horse's back and shouted loudly to the crowd: Brothers, there is no way, you're surrendering!Those who are willing will follow the banner of the central army, and those who are unwilling will not force themselves and find a way out!
There were some soldiers in the Beijing camp in the army, most of whom were cavalry.They had horses, they were likely to run away, and they were reluctant to surrender, so they gathered together one after another and prepared to leave the army.
At this time, someone shouted: General Geng!
The generals then noticed that Geng Hao, the Marquis of Jiangyin, was turning his horses and heading to the cavalry of the Beijing camp.
Geng Hao didn't say a word just now, and everyone almost forgot about him.
He was suddenly stopped by someone, his face looked a little ugly, and then he said seriously: Everyone has their own aspirations, and the traitor is always a traitor!
The martial artist who called out said: I didn’t mean to stop General Geng. We wanted General Geng to say a few fair words to your father-in-law after he went back.Marquis of Jiangyin is afraid that he will still have family members in the capital!General Geng truthfully told the situation of the Guangxi battle formation. You also saw that everyone was not working hard or being unfaithful. There was nothing we could do now!It’s just that you can’t win, you can’t escape even if you run…
Geng Hao nodded, clasped his fists and said: I will definitely bring the words to Chaolin.
...The sunset floats westward, and the light is overflowing.
On the official road to the south, a large group of people, who were already messy, gradually rushed here.
They also held flags, but many of them were out of place, some did not have helmets, and some had empty arms.
The army in front of the infantry formation of the Han Wang Army suddenly shouted, and the soldiers lined up took out their horse stance, took the spear, and were ready for the battle.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had already slapped his horse and walked out of the square formation. He turned around and raised his hand and gestured gently, shouting: The government army has surrendered!
Sure enough, when the officials and soldiers reached about two hundred steps, they threw their weapons to the ground.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu let out the breath from his chest.
He suddenly felt light and fluttering all over, both tired and comfortable.
Suddenly, my throat couldn't feel the pain, and my tonsillitis was cured at some point.
Zhu Gaoxu slapped the horse and continued to walk forward. Wang Bin kicked the horse over his head, turned around and said in a deep voice: Those people have just surrendered, and the prince has to be careful!
I know it in my mind.Zhu Gaoxu whispered.
Wang Bin gave way, but followed Zhu Gaoxu closely, looking ready to block the gun at any time.
Zhu Gaoxu rode a horse a hundred steps away and strangled his mount.
He shouted to the countless people in front of him: I am the King of Han that you once wanted to deal with, Zhu Gaoxu!From now on, we will no longer be enemies!You will understand later that this king is not that bad...
Hahaha... Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter in the Han Wang army.In the crowd in the north, cheers gradually sounded, and the roads in the wilderness ridge were very lively.
The war on the territory of Guangxi Provincial Administrators was finally extinguished.
A sergeant's leather water bag was leaking, and the water was constantly leaking out, wetting his leather armor and trouser legs.
When he noticed it, he took off the water bag and shook it, and a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face.
The sky has cleared, the sun setting in the west is shining in the sky, and the mountains in the east are standing in the distance, which is particularly clear and green in the sun.
