Section 24 Training (Part 1)
Although the smoke and dust rolled in front of him, Zu Zepu couldn't see where the Ming army rushed to again for a while, he knew very well that the Sichuan-Shaanxi Green Camp on both wings did not launch a restraining attack in time according to the commander's intention. The shouts of killing went from near to far, and then a large number of unowned war horses rushed back from the east, and many cavalry originally located on the right fled back in panic.
"It seems that the right-wing war is not good." Zu Zepu immediately made a judgment.
The Ming army almost hit his generals for the first attack just now. Judging from Deng Ming's murderous posture, the Shandong Governor was sure that the other party did not attack the hills because he was polite to him, but because the impact power was exhausted, and he was also worried that he would be attacked suddenly from the flanks.
Now there is no Qing army on the plain in front of you, and the right wing is probably also dispersed by the Ming army's attack. The left wing has become a mess because it turns twice, so Zu Zepu can't think of any reason for the enemy not to attack his position.
"It seems that the king's army will not be able to do its best today. Let's fight again tomorrow and withdraw our troops and return to the camp." Zu Zepu waved his hand and turned to the hills with his guards. However, since it was not a escaping but withdrawing his troops and returning to the camp, of course there was no need to pull out the flag. Zu Zepu left his flag on the hill and rushed to the west without saying a word.
When the Ming army cavalry came in neatly again, there was no organized enemy along the way. The enemy cavalry scattered on the battlefield saw rows of black-armored cavalry rushing towards them, and they all ran away with their heads in their arms. Now the Ming army is surrounded by dust, so they rushed towards Zu Zepu's position of the flag based on their memories. The officers on both wings opened their eyes wide and observed the surrounding fog, fearing that an enemy cavalry would suddenly rush out of the flank.
After rushing to Zu Zepu's small hill, Deng Ming still did not encounter any resistance. He turned around the empty enemy commander flag, shook his head, and ordered the soldiers to put the flag to the ground. Standing at the highest point of the hill, Deng Ming looked around and saw a row of blue smoke on the post road to the west, which looked like dozens of cavalry galloping.
"Zu Zepu escaped so quickly." Deng Ming estimated the distance and felt that it was impossible to catch up. As Zu Zepu's flag was knocked down, the Qing army around the battlefield knew that the battle had been declared defeated. Deng Ming saw the blockbuster Qing army flags falling, and countless people began to flee to the west.
"Search separately, but there is no need to chase them too far, just drive them out of the battlefield." Deng Ming issued an order to several officers, and also sent the Ranger's deputy captain Song Weishen to lead a team of people to monitor the temporary camp of the Shandong Governor. Finally, Deng Ming sent someone to notify Shandong friendly forces, telling them that they could start chasing and help the Sichuan Army clear the battlefield.
...
"It's really worthy of being Admiral Deng. It defeated Governor Zu in just one stick of incense." Fu Shancha remained unmoved throughout the battle. When the Ming army broke through the central front of the Qing army, he was sure that there would be no accidents in this battle today. Since then, he has been watching the movements on the hills intently. From a distance, he saw a group of people leaving the hills. Fu Shancha suspected that it was the Governor of Shandong who ran away. However, since the Governor of Shandong was still standing, Fu Shancha, who had a deep heart, was not in a hurry to retreat.
After seeing the cavalry holding the square flag rushing up the hills and quickly knocking down Zu Zepu's banner, Fu Shancha breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could retreat calmly. The performance of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Supervisor in this battle was nothing unreasonable. The friendly forces around him began to flee, but Fu Shancha seemed calm.
"The Governor is running away!"
"The Governor is running away!"
The Sichuan-Shaanxi Green Camp was yelling horns in neatly and roaming in neat formations all the way out of the battlefield. While loudly declaring the cause of defeat to his colleagues around him, Fu Shancha also ordered the rescue of the Green Camp officers he met along the way and took these grateful people with him. He knew that Yao Changzun would probably do the same thing.
However, most of the terrified Green Camp officers were disbanded. After being led into the team, they felt a little uneasy when they saw that the Sichuan-Shaanxi Supervisor did not run away for fear, and they urged Fu Shancha to leave quickly.
"Don't worry, we have been fighting with Deng Zhe for many years. Although we have few people, Deng Zhe dare not force people too tightly. He knows our strength." Fu Shancha explained patiently. At this time, he encountered a troop-raising infantryman who didn't even have a horse. Fu Shancha ordered him to be pulled on the horse, but one of his personal soldiers needed to make a living.
The shouts of killing behind him were getting closer and closer. Fu Shancha ordered those who were in front of him and he personally cut off the rear.
A team of dozens of black-clad cavalry emerged from the smoke and dust. Seeing the flags of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Supervisors retreating, they all slowed down their horses.
"I am the commander of Qianshan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, under the command of Li Gong, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi!" Mr. Fu Qian looked ferocious, and he put his spear in front of him, grinning at the pursuers, "Retreat! You may not be able to win."
After hearing this shout, many people couldn't help but frown, feeling that it was too unimpressive. After seeing these pursuers, the Green Camp officers were all beating in their hearts. Although the other party was not large in number, if they were dragged down, the enemy brigades would come and these Sichuan and Shaanxi governors and them would definitely not be spared. At this time, many people secretly blamed Fu Shancha for being too soft-hearted, saving too many people, and delaying too long.
But unexpectedly, the Sichuan Army took this trick. The dozens of black-armored enemy cavalry stared at Fu Shancha and looked at him again, then turned around and chased the other escaped enemies.
"Go away, go away." After the Sichuan army left, Fu Shancha felt that he was a little too risky. Although Deng Ming had promised that as long as they did not work hard and retreated in time, the Sichuan army would not attack the Sichuan and Shaanxi governors. However, Fu Shancha secretly rescued people was considered a side ball in the agreement. If a Sichuan army with a bad temper attacked people, wouldn't Fu Shancha have no choice but to lose rice?
However, there are still many defeated troops around the battlefield. Fu Shancha knew that the Sichuan army was still busy now. When they were idle, it would be dangerous if the Sichuan-Shaanxi Supervisor had not yet left the battlefield. Maybe they would meet a young man with red eyes. As long as they took action, Fu Shancha would run away. He knew that once he fought back, Deng Ming would definitely not sit idly by and watch his subordinates be killed. It would be better to run early than to run late.
After escaping from the Ming army's pursuit with these new friends, Fu Shancha said to the people who were slightly shocked: "You just felt that my words were not shocking enough? We were in danger just now, and the most urgent thing was to leave safely, so I would not compete with the enemy for a while and let them realize our combat power. So I would not be able to use my brainlessness to come up and fight to the death. I would not be able to use my hands and feet with you."
At this time, Shandong people were only grateful and admired Fu Shancha, and they didn't think he was inappropriate. After listening to Fu Shancha's explanation, the group of people praised him, saying that Fu Shancha was brave and resourceful, and he was really the destiny of a general.
After the group walked towards Qingzhou for a while, a team of green camps with distinctive armor suddenly ran out on the wing. Everyone looked closely and saw who wasn't Yao Changzun?
"Brother!"
"brother!"
In front of everyone, Fu Shancha and Yao Changzun clasped their hands with excitement.
"Brother, just be safe."
"Brother Lao is worried. I have never been worried about my elder brother because I know that with my elder brother's bravery, I will be able to break through the siege."
Like Fu Shancha, Yao Changzun also rescued several Green Camp officers. These people survived and gathered together, and admired the Sichuan-Shaanxi Supervisor's Mark Six. Many people secretly swore in their hearts that they must strive to deploy next to the Ganzhou-Shaanxi Green Camp in the future. These northwest men are really too righteous.
On the way back to Qingzhou, everyone described their thrilling escape experience, but found that Yao Changzun's reaction when facing the pursuers was similar to Fu Shancha. Before leaving the battlefield, Yao Changzun and his friends accidentally met a dozen Ming cavalrymen. Yao Changzun took the lead and rushed forward and shouted to the Ming cavalrymen: "We are the Sichuan-Shaanxi Supervisor. Even if you can stop us, do you still think there are no casualties or injuries?"
The Shandong Green Camp, who was on the same road with Yao Changzun at that time, was also worried that such words of showing weakness might arouse the enemy's desire to compete for merit. The horses and equipment of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Green Camp here must be good. As long as the dozen Ming cavalry sent a signal and blocked it for a while, the surrounding Ming army might surround him. But the Ming army listened to this, and they made way to block the other scattered defeated soldiers.
"No wonder the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi would promote them." After the communication, the officers of Shandong Green Camp looked at Fu Shancha and Yao Changzun with admiration. These two people were not only righteous and brave, but also good at guessing the enemy's thoughts after the victory. Indeed, there were so many defeated soldiers, so there was no need to chew these Sichuan and Shaanxi governors with good integrity.
"If you don't fight for temporary honor and disgrace, you can bend and stretch. This is what it means, right?" Shandong Green Camp's evaluation of the officers in the Sichuan-Shaanxi Supervisor's bid is extremely high. At this moment of life and death, it is amazing to be able to calm down and choose the most convincing reason.
...
Although many Qing cavalry escaped after the defeat, more than 800 people were annihilated by the Ming army today, and the enemy was mainly cavalry, which was a brilliant result for the Ming army. Most of the escaped enemy cavalry abandoned their armor and weapons on the battlefield, while only a few of the more than 600 green camp infantry soldiers could escape, and most of them surrendered to the Ming army.
The work of cleaning the battlefield went smoothly. The Ming army found many mangers filled with food and water behind Zuzepu's hills. Most of the war horses that had lost their masters gathered there to eat and drink water, and were easily captured by the Ming army.
"Put Zu Zepu's ceremonial war and let us take it to the Qingzhou Prefecture." Deng Ming planned to mainly intimidate the Qingzhou Prefecture west of Jiaoshui River; but Deng Ming suddenly found that he had the leisure and possibility to attack them.
