Chapter 365

This time, in order to command, Lu Xiangsheng didn't rush to the peak and fall into battle. Looking at the collapsed army in front, old Lu looked very calm. It was like he had expected this result. With a long sigh, he put the long knife across his neck and was ready to commit suicide.

Fortunately, the pro guard on one side had long found that the supervisor was wrong and took the knife in time.

"Supervisor, you can't!"

"Yes, sir, we still have a chance. As long as we escape back to Wuchang, we may not be able to kill again after the two bandit armies lose both sides."

"Whatever!"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and fled to the shore under the protection of a group of guards. Although he was not afraid of death, he had even made plans to wrap up his body and serve his country, he could not ignore the overall situation for his own personal name.

The war was defeated like a mountain. This time, the Chinese army also pursued recklessly. Tens of thousands of people on both sides chased and fled, and chased and killed to the shore in one breath.

The strength of the 10000 multilateral army was obviously not as strong as that of the Tianxiong army. It fell behind and made cannon fodder, so that Lu Xiangsheng could timely board the boat with more than 10000 disabled and defeated generals and row to the center of the river.

The people on the merchant ship in the center of the river had long been silly. They opened their mouths and looked at the scene on the shore, stunned.

When the border troops reached the beach, the boats had been rowed out for more than tens of meters. One by one, like mad dogs, was dripping and shouting. They didn't have to stop until the river fell into their necks.

The Tianxiong army on the ship looked at the border army fluttering in the water. Fortunately, they were silent at the same time. Lu Xiangsheng closed his eyes in pain.

When the Chinese army reached the shore, they saw countless people fluttering in the river, some shouting, some crying, almost all dry ducks.

Only a few Tianxiong troops who didn't get on the boat were swimming towards the center of the river. Obviously, these border troops were all northerners, and even most of them were from the Xuanfu of Datong. Not to mention the Yangtze River, a small ditch could drown them. Therefore, most people stopped before the river crossed their chest and dared not go forward for fear of drowning and being cut down later. They really wanted to cry without tears.

"Ha ha..."

The Chinese army did not go into the water, nor did they shoot. Instead, they stopped on the shore and laughed with joy at the border troops plopping in the water.

"Let them all roll up to me. The Chinese army won't kill the prisoners!"

Qin Huan was only a step slower than the Chinese army in front. When he came to the beach and saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing.

"Listen up, rabbits in the water. My king is kind. Rao Er can't wait to die. Why don't you roll up..."

A famous Chinese Army shouted at the water with a loud voice. More than 10000 dry ducks were relieved and thanked while splashing ashore.

Qin Huan didn't kill them either. He just had a little rest and hurried the 10000 multilateral troops back to the camp. Along the way, both the discarded armor and blades and the bodies of the wounded were carried back.

In this war, although the two sides did not fight for half an hour, the Ming army still killed more than 20000 people and captured more than 10000 people.

Among them, only more than 6000 people died in the frontal battle, and more than 10000 others were hacked from behind on the way to pursue and kill. Coupled with the casualties in the attack camp, Lu Xiangsheng killed nearly 30000 people in the battle this time.

The Chinese army only killed more than 2000 people in the war just now. In addition, the casualties during the attack on the camp were only more than 8000, including more than 1000 wounded.

It rains every night.

Lu Xiangsheng returned to Wuchang wharf with the defeated soldiers. When he learned that Wuchang City had been lost, he immediately ejected a mouthful of blood and fainted.

After being rescued, looking at Deputy General Liu kneeling in front of the bed, Lu Xiangsheng almost bit his teeth and shouted, "what's going on? When I left, I left five thousand men and horses for you. How can Wuchang City be lost without a day? "

"Commander, the end will die..."

At this time, Deputy General Liu also learned from the necklines of several other generals that the supervisor had just returned from a big defeat on the north bank. He quickly explained how Wuchang City was lost, and then bowed his head to wait for death.

"I'm also angry. All these shameless people who take the helm should be killed!"

It is said that more than a dozen big families in the city have taken refuge in the Chinese army and become insiders. Lu Xiangsheng was so angry that he spewed out a mouthful of blood again, his face twisted, but more of them were cold all over.

He did not expect that even the gentry, the foundation of the country, began to take the initiative to rebel against thieves. Once this happened in all dynasties, it would mean that it was not far from subjugation.

After breathing for a while, Lu Xiangsheng calmed down. He was supposed to be killed by someone who wanted to kill Deputy General Liu, but finally let him take the blame and make meritorious service.

First, he had just lost the battle and was not confident enough. Second, at the time of employment, the gentry in the city would turn against him. Even he did not expect it in advance, so he was excusable.

"Commander, now that Wuchang City is lost, our army and navy have only more than 20000 people. What should we do?"

"The navy has only five days of food. Now there are twice as many people. If they can eat for two days at most, they will have to run out of food. At the end of the day, they will think that it is urgent to raise food and grass first."

"Well, Deputy General Liu, the governor will give you 3000 people. Within one day, you must raise 10000 stones of grain from nearby." Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and then his face coagulated.

"I will take orders. If I fail to raise food on time, I will bring my head to see you!" Deputy General Liu threw a fist, knelt down on one knee and bit his teeth. Obviously, he understood the supervisor's meaning.

After Deputy General Liu left, Lu Xiangsheng ordered another deputy general to catch craftsmen and build siege equipment. At the same time, he sent a letter to Zuo Liangyu again and asked him to take the Army North immediately.

At this time, the Chinese army has cleaned up all the unstable factors in Wuchang City, and other large families have basically won over. At the moment, tens of thousands of Ding qingzhuang are busy under the leadership of the Chinese army, ready to defend the city.

The Xiao family also spent a lot of money this time. They took out 100000 liang of silver and 50000 loads of grain to reward the city guarding officers and soldiers, and the dozen families who participated in the seizure of the city also took out some silver more or less.

There's no way. They've been on the Chinese Army's pirate ship. If they don't guard the city and are recaptured by the officials and soldiers again, they will definitely copy their families and destroy their families.

More than a dozen big families, including the Xiao family, now understand that they have been fooled by Qin Feng. Where are 20000 Chinese troops crossing the river? Two thousand is about the same.

At that time, although they didn't show it on their faces, they were so angry that they jumped to scold. Even master Xiao couldn't help scolding.

Qin Feng doesn't care about this. If he really said that only 2000 people came across the river, he doesn't know whether the Xiao family will do it, but more than a dozen others will never do it.

"Two little general Qin, we only have so many people. Can the city be defended?" Old man Xiao looked at the two teenagers in the hall, but he didn't know anything at all.

"Don't worry, sir. I looked at the city just now. There were less than 10000 officers and soldiers back. It shows that my king has seriously damaged the Ming army on the north bank, so he can hold it. It's no problem for ten days and a half months."

Qin Feng quickly patted his chest and said, his tone was countless times more respectful than in front of other gentry.

"But Zuo Liangyu in Jiangxi still has 100000 troops, and there are tens of thousands of Chu troops in Yuezhou. I'm worried that once time drags on for a long time, there will be variables!"

Master Xiao was still a little worried. He asked tentatively. In fact, he wanted to find out when the main force of the Chinese Army crossed the river.

Qin tie and Qin Feng are not fools. Naturally, they can hear his meaning, but they can't tell when the king can defeat the eight kings. After a moment of silence, Qin tie hugged his fist and said, "Sir, even if I can't hold it at that time, I and more than 1000 brothers will protect your family to break through."

"General Qin is serious. Half of the old man's body is buried in the loess. It's not a pity to die."

Master Xiao waved his hand quickly, but he was puzzled when he saw that neither of them looked fake. He naturally felt that they respected him very much, especially the young man named Qin Feng. He was flattered, so he planned to ask his son later about their status in the Chinese army.

Master Xiao naturally didn't know that his daughter's position in the eyes of the two teenagers was second only to Qin Huan, especially Qin Feng.
