"Grandma, we said the day before yesterday that Ye Hebu was coming, but today we haven't even seen Ye Hebei's hair, and the Tatars can't believe it!"
"I don't know where Li Rubai is now. These beasts in Liao Town are always trapping our southern soldiers! From North Korea to Liaodong!"
"The imperial court recruited white pole soldiers and wolf soldiers to enter the Liao Dynasty. Why didn't you wait a little longer and come to Kuandian together? These Zhejiang soldiers alone are no match for the slaves and thieves!"
"The wolf soldiers are descendants of Guangxi Han people and local natives. They have been serving in the army in Guangxi for generations. They are not afraid of death and loyal to the court. They are not like the Liao soldiers! If they come, they may be able to fight the Tatars!"
"Will Yang Hao send anyone to rescue us? He doesn't give us enough food and wages, he doesn't give us enough firearms, and he still asks us to fight against the slave establishment alone. Are we, the Southern soldiers, the descendants of the group?!"
The army's account in the Shajianzi camp.
Liu Wei and his adopted sons were so anxious that they gathered around the old soldier and cursed incoherently.
There has been no news from the servants sent to Shenyang for help, and Shenyang has not sent any soldiers to reinforce it.
Even a fool knows that the Eastern Route Army was betrayed by Liao Town and the imperial court.
This feeling of abandonment creates a deep sense of despair.
Ten days ago, when the generals led their troops from Kuandian, they still had the idea of plowing the caves and making achievements. Now that I think about it, it's really funny.
The Xianglan Banner is about to break through the Zhejiang Army formation, but only Jin Yinghe and his remaining soldiers are still making the final resistance.
Since there is no way to save the situation, we can only quickly discuss a plan to withdraw our troops.
Coach Liu Wei sat safely on the big tiger-skin chair, calm and relaxed, closing his eyes to rest.
A group of adopted sons and servants were quarreling.
Whether to fight or retreat, the boss still needs to make a decision.
Nanbing is in Liao Town, far away from his homeland. Now he has been abandoned by the court. Who are they fighting for?
Liu Zhaosun looked at the crowd coldly, put his hand on the knife, and the edge of the knife collapsed. He had just returned from the spearman battle formation and killed several retreating Zhejiang soldiers with his own hands. At this time, his body was covered with blood and his face was full of murder. .
Several of the adopted sons were also full of murderous intent. All the North Korean gunmen in the front collapsed. The adopted sons who were supervising the formation were slashing people wildly in the back, but they still could not stop the retreating North Korean soldiers.
Kang Yingqian, the supervisor, looked pale and looked at the ground and murmured to himself. The East Route Army was defeated. He wanted to completely lose his military merits and kill the North Korean generals. Sooner or later he would be held accountable.
But what he thinks about most now is how to save his life first.
"Father, when will the wolf soldiers and white pole soldiers arrive?"
Liu Zhaosun suddenly raised his head and looked at his adoptive father Liu Wei. Liu Zongbing's eyes were still closed.
Last year, the imperial court recruited powerful soldiers from all over the world to reinforce Liaodong. White pole soldiers and wolf soldiers walked on the road for several months, and recently they barely arrived in Shenyang. Even in Shenyang, if these infantry want to come to Kuandian, it will take at least six or seven days to travel. "
At the moment, all hope is placed on this support army, but hope is destined to be destroyed.
According to the original historical development, when the wolf soldiers and white pole soldiers arrived in Liaodong, the Battle of Sarhu had already ended, and the two powerful armies lost the chance to fight Jiannu. However, the wolf soldiers continued to conflict in Liaodong and Liao Town.
Both guest soldiers were later suppressed and sent back to their original places one after another. They did not play much role in the battles of Daling River and Hun River.
Liu Zhaosun was disheartened. He fought bloody battles for several days, but finally ended up like this.
All the efforts only killed thousands more Tatars, delaying the tragedy of the collapse of the Eastern Route Army by four days compared to the original history, only four days.
Is the fate of the Eastern Route Army destined to be destroyed?
Although it is not completely destroyed yet.
But it was already very fast.
As in the original history, as Xianglan broke through the battle formation, the North Korean gunslinger with the weakest fighting will in the front row was the first to collapse.
These Korean soldiers were frightened by the momentum of the real barbarians charging into the formation with the blue flag. After shooting for an hour, they finally couldn't hold on any longer, and they dropped their muskets and fled behind.
After eliminating the threat of firepower, the Houjin soldiers can move forward more calmly and leisurely.
Only Jin Yinghe led his archers, using bows and arrows to kill the Zhenyi who rushed into the formation. Their effect was minimal. A large number of white-armored soldiers came from behind and suppressed the Korean archers with heavy arrows. It was only a matter of time before these stubborn Korean soldiers were destroyed. question.
The densely defended Zhejiang army's front was torn to pieces by the fierce Zhenyi soldiers. The Ming army's cavalry tried to contain this deadly charge. However, the cavalry without artillery support had worrisome attack power in front of the superior enemy force, and was quickly overwhelmed by the enemy. The white-armored soldiers who rushed up surrounded and killed him.
More than two thousand Zhenyi soldiers pressed forward step by step, forcing the defeated spearmen to the foot of Shajianzi Camp. The Ming army's space for movement became smaller and smaller, and a major rout was about to take place.
Last year, the slave chief suddenly rebelled, and the court was at a loss to deal with it.
In a hurry, soldiers and horses from all over the world were summoned. Not to mention the Baigan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers, even the Wolf soldiers were recruited. It can be said that they were rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Liu Wei was not interested in these wolf soldiers. He waited in Liaoyang for half a year, just waiting for the Sichuan white pole soldiers to arrive. He planned to use the white pole soldiers to deal with the slave army formation.
Although the Sichuan people are not very strong physically, they are good at fighting in mountains, which is unmatched by other armies. The strength of the white-pole soldiers is comparable to that of Qi's army.
I just waited and waited, but no Sichuan soldiers came.
The imperial court urged urgently, and the imperial censor from the capital came to Shenyang every day to urge, often taking out Shangfang's sword to scare Liu Wei, saying that he respected himself by raising bandits.
Under pressure, General Liu had no choice but to lead this mixed group of southern soldiers, starting from Kuandian and walking step by step towards the trap set by Hou Jin.
"Thirteen, what time is it, why are you talking about this! The Tatars have killed all the Zhejiang soldiers, and it's time to kill us. Protect your foster father and leave quickly!"
Liu Tianxing scolded loudly. He was very dissatisfied with Liu Zhaosun's mother-in-law at this time. He is not interested in the wolf soldiers and white-poled soldiers at all. Now that the knife is on his neck, if he doesn't run away, are he waiting to be torn into pieces by the Tatars like Juniper?
In the past few days, Liu Tianxing witnessed Liu Zhaosun breaking the formation and killing the enemy, strategizing, and being supported by all the soldiers. He seemed to be the second-ranking figure in the East Route Army. The adoptive father Liu Wei gradually stopped taking charge of the army, and many confidential matters were left to Liu Zhaosun. He now had to look at this brother with admiration.
Liu Wei finally opened his eyes and looked up at Liu Zhaosun. He was already sixty-seven and played a role in uniting people's hearts in the army. He really wanted to kill the enemy, but he was already beyond his capabilities.
"Listen to Liu Zhaosun!"
Standing around were Kang Yingqian, Pei Qinhu, Qiao Yiqi and others, as well as hundreds of elite servants.
Everyone looked up at Liu Zhaosun, waiting for his next decision.
"Brother Pei, fourth brother, you escort the foster father and the supervisor down the back mountain and go all the way south, one person and two horses. I will lead the people to resist the slave thieves and bring all the heads of the slave thieves captured in the past few days. , I also achieved military success when I returned to Shenyang!"
Everyone looked at Liu Zhaosun with admiration in their eyes. A few close servants walked towards the commander proudly, but the rest were hesitant.
Liu Tianxing suddenly shouted:
"Thirteen, you, do you look down on your fourth brother so much?! I want to stay, even if I die, I won't be a bastard!"
Kang Yingqian coughed twice and said to everyone:
"Everyone, all four armies have been defeated this time. The imperial court will definitely investigate them. In addition to Yang Hao, several generals will also suffer. The imperial court does not dare to move to Liao Town. Killing all the guest soldiers should be a no-brainer. Let's escape back to Shenyang. , maybe survive?”
Qiao Yiqi grabbed Liu Tianxing and said angrily:
"You are such a talented killer, why did you kill Jiang Hongli in the first place? Even if you kill him, you can't stop Jian Nu. If the King of Joseon pursues the case, the emperor will have no choice but to kill us. We are in a dilemma! Even if we die, we will be charged with disloyalty and injustice! It’s all you who killed me that caused this!”
Liu Tianxing's servant drew his sword and put it on Qiao Yiqi's body. Several soldiers around Qiao Yiqi also drew their swords.
Kang Yingqian was also one of the plotters to kill Jiang Hongli. Hearing Qiao Yiqi speak like this, he was furious:
"Then what is Jiang Hongli? You still treat him as friends. If someone snitches in the future, you will definitely be the first one!"
Qiao Yiqi pushed Liu Tianxing away suddenly and reached out to grab Kang Yingqian again. Everyone in the place was in chaos.
"enough!"
Everyone followed the voice, but it was Commander-in-Chief Liu Wei who spoke. Everyone stopped and looked at Commander-in-Chief Liu in unison.
"Have you had enough trouble? Do you have the strength to go down the mountain and kill the Tatars?"
Everyone stopped talking, Liu Zhaosun stepped forward and said:
"Father, please go back to Shenyang. You have fought for the Ming Dynasty all your life and suffered dozens of injuries. The imperial court will not do anything to you!"
Liu Wei stood up slowly, looked around, and said without anger:
"As a general, you should be as immobile as a mountain. Today I will not be immobile. Everyone who can fight, all mount their horses and charge into battle!"
