Chapter 1114 If you can survive, take care of my parents

As the most elite army of the Wu army, he once followed Wu Sangui from Liaodong to the Guanning Army in Yunnan. Although countless veterans were killed and injured during the twenty-year war, this army was still one of the strong soldiers of this era.

The only criterion for a strong soldier in this era is not how many enemies it can kill, but how can it at least react instinctively when facing panic.

The sound of the three-eyed guns resounded over the King's Village, and the sounds of roars and killings rose and fell in the darkness, spreading from one place to another.

Regardless of whether the three-eyed guns hit the enemy or whether they fired at the enemy, the sound of the guns indicates that the Guanning Army is still a well-trained elite soldier. Even after the gun was shot, many soldiers threw away the barrel and turned to escape. But at least, they did not let the weapons in their hands completely become fire sticks. In a critical moment, they could fire the musket in their hands. What if this was not a strong soldier?

At the critical moment of life and death, the generals and subordinates at all levels of Guanning Army did not disappoint Wu Sangui's expectations for them.

The general Gao Dajie led the way. After his subordinates were dispersed by the rebels, he fought bravely with the few remaining personal soldiers around him, and even dozens of Xi'an Manchu Tatars were buried all over the ground. Seeing that more and more Manchu Tatars surrounded him, Gao Dajie knew that he could not escape, so he pulled his personal soldiers and asked him to leave immediately. The personal soldiers were loyal and could not abandon the master and escape. Seeing this, Gao Dajie actually drew his sword and put it on his neck and shouted to his personal soldiers and said, "If you don't leave, I will commit suicide!"

The personal commander was shocked. Without waiting for him to speak, Gao Dajie pushed him away, and then he pulled his sword back toward the Manzhou rebels who were racing on his horse.

The personal soldiers heard clearly. General Gao shouted to him when he was rushing: "If you can survive, take good care of my parents!"

After the isolated Gao Dajie fought to the death, he was eventually captured by Su Bai's troops because he was outnumbered. When he was captured, more than a dozen swords and guns were pouring in his body, and he still fought hard until he was exhausted.

Guo Zhuangtu, who was in charge of the central army, kept receiving bad news from the battalions. Because of the dark night, although the battalions bravely organized resistance, they were unable to assemble as the daytime. However, the rebels of Su Bai and Zhao Liangdong continued to attack the battalions with the advantages of preemptive action and dark night, causing the entire King of Chuangzhai to fall into unprecedented chaos. Many officers could not organize their subordinates to resist. Many soldiers lost contact because they did not have the command of the officers, and they also lost contact with each other because of the interweaving of the rebels. As a result, they ran around like headless flies, which indirectly led to greater chaos.

The thing that Guo Zhuangtu was most worried about finally happened. There was a hurried sound of horse hooves coming from the east of the King of Chuangwang Village. Although there were countless Qing troops coming in the dark night, Guo Zhuangtu knew that Oboi must have been watching the King of Chuangwang Village where he could not see it.

The Ningguta chieftain An Zhuhu was the first to lead his troops to arrive. Thousands of Jurchens in his troops swung their swords into the Wu army camp, which was already in chaos.

"The real Tartars are here!"

The emergence of the Eight Banners of the Qing army made the Wu army lose one's eyes. The panicked Wu army began to flee on a large scale like the daytime. The battalions, which were originally adapted from the Ming army and the Green Camp, were worried that they would end up like the abandoned soldiers during the day. Despite Guo Zhuangtu's strict orders, they abandoned the defense line and fled in a hurry to the Fourth Field in the night.

The main force of the Qing army came too fast!

Even if Wang Pingfan and other Wu generals successfully suppressed the rebels in front of them, they would be unable to resist when facing the sudden main force of the Qing army.

An Zhuhu's tribe galloped everywhere along the passage torn by Su Bai's tribe. Wherever he passed, the Wu army could not defend effectively and could only retreat in a panic.

"Baturu of the Qing Dynasty is here, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

According to Oboi's orders, An Zhuhu ordered his eight banner soldiers who were well-versed in Chinese to shout for surrender and not to kill. Many Wu soldiers were too afraid and did not know how many people had arrived in the Qing army. They only had a lot of chaos in their own hands, and were full of fire everywhere, and their morale was gone. They even knelt down and surrendered.

Bad news kept spreading to the Central Army’s tent.

General Gao Qilong was killed!

General Qi Sansheng was captured!

General Yang Wei was surrounded!

General Li Rubi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty!

In the royal camp, except for Guo Zhuangtu's headquarters, most of the other battalions had collapsed. Every time the Qing army killed or captured a general of the Wu army, they would shout loudly. The screams greatly shook the Wu army, which was still resisting tenaciously. In the end, even some generals of the Guanning Army were shocked by the shouts and fled in panic. Some generals with a little clear mind tried their best to restrain their subordinates and tried to join the central army, but the defeated soldiers attacked in scattered and soon wrapped them in.

Under the command of Oboi, the Qing army seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and continued to attack the Wu army camp. They slashed and killed the Wu army frantically just to create greater chaos.

The Wu army finally collapsed, and all the Wu soldiers fled in the darkness of the Qing army's pursuit. In order to survive, they had lost their minds. No matter who was blocking themselves in front of them, they would slash and kill without hesitation.

Groups of Wu soldiers who were panicked were chopped and killed by another group of Wu soldiers who were panicked. Their bodies were covered with the plains and paved into a bloody road. Along this bloody road, thousands of Wu soldiers ran desperately without looking back or daring to go back. There were all the dispersed Wu soldiers, and there were also corpses who unfortunately died in the chaos.

Faced with such chaos, even Guo Zhuangtu, a famous general in the world, was unable to turn the world. He suddenly drew his sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was facing his chest. Seeing this, the guards rushed forward and hugged him tightly. Guo Zhuangtu was extremely furious and cursed these guards who protected the master. After scolding enough, he laughed. After laughing enough, tears actually flowed out of his eyes.

The soldiers were stunned and stared at the general in a daze.

"Why don't you let me die? Why! Do you want me to be humiliated by the Tartars!"

A personal guard choked and stepped forward and said, "General, although our army is defeated, as long as the general is there, there is still a time to turn the tide!"

Listening to the tears of the guards, Guo Zhuangtu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Turn the tide? How do you ask me to turn the tide now? Tens of thousands of people are over. The soldiers cannot find the general, and the general cannot find the soldiers. How can I turn the tide?! How can I have the attitude to see the prince! Prince, I am sorry for you!"

Guo Zhuangtu was so heartbroken that he wanted to die.

Yang Kun, who arrived after hearing the news, advised: "General, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of burning firewood! We are defeated, but the prince has not yet been defeated! We still have two armies! The general must not be discouraged. Before leaving, the prince repeatedly reminded him, have you forgotten?"

"I!"

Guo Zhuangtu was shocked. Thinking of his father-in-law's entrustment before leaving, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "All the generals will follow me!" After saying that, he stepped forward and walked a few steps, but suddenly looked back at the north where the fire was raging, and said hatefully: "One day, I, Guo Zhuangtu, will slaughter all the Manchus tribes, and will strip Obai alive to vent our hatred today!"

"Let's go, protect the general!"

At Yang Kun's order, the remaining Guanning Army immediately retreated to the west with him. Guo Zhuangtu's personal guard protected him in the middle, for fear that the general would make a mistake. On the way, they would kill all the defeated soldiers blocking the way.

Guo Zhuangtu's central army was originally a brave soldier in the army, the most elite soldiers and horses, and they have always been brave in combat. How could those unconscionable soldiers resist? Seeing that this army was extremely brave, some of the defeated soldiers followed suit when they saw that they claimed to be the personal guards of the general Guo Zhuangtu.

In the chaos of the night, the best way to survive was to follow a powerful army and break out of the siege. As for whether they were following the general's personal soldiers, no one asked. Now they had to go out and survive first. Soon, a long tail appeared behind Guo Zhuangtu's team. These defeated soldiers not only had the defeated Guanning Army, but also the surrendered Ming Army and the included Green Camp.

After dawn, Guo Zhuangtu and the others escaped from the heavens, and no Qing army was found chasing. Beside an unknown stone bridge, Guo Zhuangtu set off to rest. After a while, he asked Yang Kun to count the personnel and asked who all the generals to follow, especially if Wang Pingfan had withdrawn.

Yang Kun shook his head. At the beginning of the rebellion, Wang Pingfan was ordered by Guo Zhuangtu to suppress Su Bai's tribe, so he was unable to withdraw with them. Life and death are unknown at the moment.

Guo Zhuangtu felt very sad and regretful, because Wang Pingfan was a general and one of the few generals in the Guanning army who could be regarded by his father-in-law. Even Prime Minister Xia and Hu Guozhu admired Wang Pingfan very much. If Wang Pingfan was lost in this battle, he would probably be very sad when his father-in-law found out.

After a long time, Guo Zhuangtu sighed lightly, and took away the remaining troops.
