Chapter 438 Wuzhen Hachao

[Latest Broadcast] Tomorrow is 515, the starting point anniversary, the most benefits day. In addition to gift bags and school bags, this time, you must check the 515 red envelopes. There is no reason to not grab the red envelopes. Set the alarm clock~

On the banks of Xitang River, the official road in Huilai County, Chaozhou, blood dyed the river water red because there were too many corpses of people and horses, so that this section of the river no longer flowed, becoming a dead river, emitting an unpleasant fishy smell.

On the official road, discarded weapons and armor were everywhere on the banks of the river pond, and rotten flags were everywhere on the ground. The injured war horses were struggling and neighing. The gun barrels were overturned from the cannon truck, rolling to the ground one by one.

Before the battle ended, the Han army commanding Wu Zhenhachao's command of Wu Zhenhachao's command, Gushan Ezhen, and Xu Shun Duke Shen Yongxing, had already taken all the last power on his hand. He had already made a desperate bet and had no choice. If he could not repel the attack of the Taiping Army, he and his Wu Zhenhachao battalion would not see the sunrise tomorrow.

Shen Yongxing was the third Duke of Xu Shun of the Qing Dynasty. The first Duke of Xu Shun, Shen Zhixiang, was his uncle. He died in the fifth year of Shunzhi. Because he had no son, his brother's son Shen Yongzhong inherited the title. In the 12th year of Shunzhi, he was rebelled for the incident and changed to Shen Yongxing as Duke of Xu Shun. This time he followed Prince Jian Jidu to Guangdong, and Shen Yongxing was personally appointed as the commander of Wuzhenha Chao Camp by Prince An Yuele, hoping that he could work hard for the Qing Dynasty like the first Duke of Xu Shun. Now, Shen Yongxing is really working hard.

"Master, you can't fight anymore, please withdraw. If you don't retreat, it will be too late!"

Deputy Commander Lu Guangzu's face was covered in blood, his leather armor was cut, and he could barely hang it on his body. The wound on his left arm was still bleeding. Regardless of the wound still bleeding, he knelt in front of Shen Yongxing crying, begging Shen Yongxing to remove the last little man and escape back to Puning quickly, otherwise it would be all over.

Lu Guangzu was from Haizhou, Liaodong. He once went to Sichuan to defeat Zhang Xianzhong from Prince Su Haoge. He was awarded the first-class Adahahafan for his merits. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, Sun Kewang defeated Xuzhou, and Li Guohan, Gushan, led his troops to help. Lu Guangzu was defeated by Sun Kewang's army and stripped of his first-class Adahahafan. In the eleventh year of Shunzhi, he ordered his Wuzhenhaha to make meritorious contributions to atone for his sins.

Lu Guangzu was not a greedy person who was afraid of death. When he defeated Zhang Xianzhong and Li Guohan and fought Sun Kewang, he was brave enough to charge, and he never feared even if the palace queen was defeated. But today he was afraid. The battle was really miserable. The three subordinates under Lu Guangzu had only more than 200 left in the battle. When he thought of the unwilling and unbelievable eyes of those subordinates who were unwilling to accept their feelings before their death, Lu Guangzu felt like a knife. The ambition to pacify the Guangdong Taiping gang before the war had long disappeared. He just wanted to retreat quickly. If he didn't retreat, he would probably be wiped out.

Lu Guangzu's plea made Shen Yongxing furious. Because of his injury, he could no longer raise his whip to beat the deputy commander who wanted to escape. He could only glar at the coward and roar: "Who dares to withdraw? I cut off his head!"

The war has no meaning to Shen Yongxing. Most of the Wuzhenha Super Battalion has been lost. The Taiping Army's cavalry's desperate attack made the cannons brought from Beijing unable to play a role. Faced with the Taiping Army with several times more troops, Shen Yongxing had no hope of winning, but even though he knew that he would lose, he would be wiped out if he rushed again. Shen Yongxing still decided to charge without hesitation, because he could not lose and retreat, so he could only stand firm and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

The Xieling Zuo Yuan, who was behind Shen Yongxing, was also injured. This person was the grandson of the former Ming general Zuo Liangyu, and his father was Zuo Menggeng who surrendered hundreds of thousands of dollars without fighting. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, the Qing court told Zuo Menggeng that Zuo Menggen led his troops to surrender and gave him the first-class Jingqinihafan. Later, Zuo Menggeng came from Prince Ying Ajige to attack Datong rebel general Jiang Guan, and attacked Zuo Wei Ke. He promoted the Xiangbai Banner Gushan Ezhen. In the eleventh year of Shunzhi, Zuo Menggeng died of illness. Zuo Yuan, who was only 12 years old, was appointed as Xieling in the Han army's Yingbai Banner. This time, Zuo Yuan was only 16 years old and had no experience in fighting formation. However, he went to Prince Jian's mansion to ask for his order. This move made Zuo Yuan famous in the capital. Even the empress dowager in the palace knew that Zuo Menggeng's son was a young hero.

Perhaps the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, and Zuo Yuan still had no fear of the Taiping Army, so he looked down on Lu Guangzu, who was saying to retreat. Looking at the Taiping Army lined up in the distance and slowly pressing towards him, his teeth were gritted tightly, his eyes full of flames of revenge and meritorious service.

"The governor died and the governor was the leader, the governor died and the governor died and the governor died. All of them were killed! If anyone dared to retreat, they would be killed in formation!"

Shen Yongxing's face was ferocious. Generals of Wuzhenha Chaobat Li Tianshui, Shi Qing, Bao Jing and others gritted their teeth to continue fighting. They were not unaware that this battle would not be won, but they had to obey military orders, because the military laws of the Qing Dynasty were not decorations. They could die here in battle, but they could never retreat against the commander's order, and they could not lose the commander's general. Otherwise, even if they could go back alive, the head on their necks would not be kept.

Shen Yongxing's heart was actually bleeding. There were only more than a thousand people left in the four Niulu of the Zhengbai Banner, the Wuzhenha Super Cannon Battalion and the escort of the Zhengbai Banner. It was impossible to say that it was not distressed. Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the gun barrels that were rolling everywhere, Shen Yongxing felt heartbroken. But he could not let his subordinates notice his pain, nor could he let his subordinates have a glimmer of hope of retreating. He had to persevere. The fast horse had already broken through and reinforcements would arrive at any time. If he retreated now, no one could escape back to Puning under the pursuit of the Taiping cavalry.

"Bao Jing!"

Shen Yongxing flashed his eyes and shouted suddenly. Because he was drinking too hard, the injury in his chest moved, making him unable to help but "hiss".

"The last one will be here!"

Xiezhen Bao Jing was covered in armor and jumped out of the formation. His father Bao Chengxian was a strange man, originally a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty. After surrendering to the Later Jin Dynasty in the sixth year of Tianming, he entered the Wenguan as a scholar. In the second year of Chongzhen, when Bao Chengxian followed Huang Taiji to attack the Ming Dynasty's capital Shuntian Mansion, it was said that he had used counter-espionage schemes to kill the Ming Dynasty's governor Yuan Chonghuan. In the first year of Chongde, Bao Chengxian was awarded the Grand Secretary of the Inner Secretariat by Huang Taiji. In the second year of Shunzhi, his son Bao Jing attacked his second-class light chariot commander.

Shen Yongxing looked at Bao Jing with a hesitant look on his face, nodded heavily to him, his eyes fell on the Taiping Army who had rushed up in front of him, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Take your people on!"

"Master!"

"You won't go!"

Bao Jing seemed to have something to say, but was interrupted by Shen Yongxing without any mercy.

Lu Guangzu, Li Tianshui, Shi Qing and others all showed painful expressions after hearing this order. Bao Jing stared at Shen Yongxing for a moment, and finally responded: "Zhe!" He pulled his horse's head and waved to his subordinates, "Everything comes with me!"

"Mr. Master, the last general can kill the enemy!"

Zuo Yuan rushed forward to the Taiping Army by beating a horse in front of Bao Jing. Bao Jing was stunned, his lips moved slightly, and he gritted his teeth and followed him.

"Start the cannon, set off the cannon!"

Shen Yongxing twisted his face and endured the huge pain of the wound and shouted loudly. The remaining Wu Zhenha Chao gunner adjusted the remaining cannons with all his hands and lit the fuse tremblingly.
