Chapter 73 Recruiting?(1/2)

"Burying the Qing Dynasty ()"

Fu Huan didn't know whether Zhu Ni knew magic, but Fu Huan knew that A Gui, the imperial envoy, was frightened out of his wits, and could be frightened into a quail at the slightest disturbance.

This won't work. Fukang'an is still waiting for our rescue, and Long Live Lord is still waiting for news of our victory in the capital. If you, the Imperial Envoy, are deposed first, then how should we fight the rest of the battle?

Just thinking about the word "war" made Fu Huan feel a headache.

Just relying on the combat effectiveness of our Tatar army...

After struggling for a while again, Fu Huan finally said, "What are you going to do about the deserter issue?"

Agui felt that Fu Huan was just poking at her heart.

If I knew what to do, why would I need to call you to discuss it with me? Isn’t it because I don’t have any good ideas, so I’m asking you to come and discuss it with me!

After thinking about it secretly, Agui asked tentatively: "How about we ask Long Live Lord to bring Sauron's soldiers over?"

Fu Huan shook his head and said: "Even if the Sauron soldiers are powerful, they should be mobilized, but the distant water cannot save the near fire. Now Fukang'an is in Zhu Ni's hands. When the Sauron soldiers arrive..."

I'm afraid Fukangan has already become cold.

When that time comes, Agui, the imperial envoy, will definitely be in bad luck, and he, the bachelor, will also be in trouble.

After all, who in the Qing Dynasty doesn't know that Fukangan is the favorite of Qian Deafangou. If he was not born outside the palace and his biological mother was not a noble person in the palace, it is estimated that the crown prince's position must belong to Fukangan.

.

When they thought of this, Fu Huan and Agui couldn't help but sigh at the same time, and then stared at each other.

After being silent for a while, Agui sighed helplessly and said, "The only solution now is to drink poison to quench my thirst."

Fu Huan didn't know why, so he asked: "How can we drink poison to quench thirst?"

Agui said: "When there were no deserters, I thought we would be more stable along the way. We would march twenty miles every day, try our best to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers, and beware of Zhu Ni's ambush."

"But now it seems that when we get to Zichuan, most of the 120,000 troops under our command will be dispersed, and then there will really be no way to save the day."

"So, let's promise them high-ranking officials and generous salaries while speeding up the march. Even if we can reduce one deserter, if the situation is not too bad, by the time we get to Zichuan, we may still have about 80,000 in our hands.

of the army.”

"When that time comes, we will force Zhu Ni's troops back to Zichuan County and then besiege them without attacking."

"We only lay siege to the city, not attack it. Even if it's a hard loss, we can still wear out Zhu Ni's army."

"If we are ambushed by Zhu Ni on the way, there will be nothing we can do. Apart from dying to repay the king in danger, I really can't think of any other way."

Fu Huan nodded, agreeing with Agui's proposal.

There is really no other way to do this. After all, the combat effectiveness of our Tatar army is there, and the rate of increase in deserters is also there. If we do this, we may still have a chance of survival. If we don't do this, we can only wait.

The army was dispersed and he was beheaded by Long Live Lord.

Thinking of this, Fu Huan began to discuss with Agui how much money he would be promised to high-ranking officials, such as how much silver reward he would give for rescuing Fukangan, how much silver reward he would give for killing a rebel bandit, and how much silver reward he would give for killing a rebel bandit.

How to get promoted after making meritorious service.

In short, within the authority of the two of them, the more money they have, the more promises they make, and the more official positions they have, the more they promise.

But before the two of them could discuss what was going on, Agui's soldiers who were waiting outside the tent rushed into the tent, knelt down and shouted: "Master, our brothers who were on guard behind suddenly suddenly

We were attacked by Zhu Ni’s gangsters!”

Agui stood up from the chair and asked repeatedly: "How is the battle going? Have you ever captured Zhu Ni?"

When asked by Agui, the soldier didn't know what to say.

And how could we capture Zhu Ni? Our Tatar army, especially the Green Battalion that was responsible for guarding the rear, had a lot of hips.

Don’t you know, Master?

After curling his lips secretly, the soldier replied: "Master, by the time the slave got the news, Zhu Ni had already retreated, and the brothers' casualties were not heavy. However, Zhu Ni had just put down his words before leaving.

explain……"

A Gui's heart trembled and she asked, "Then what did Zhu Ni say?"

The soldier trembled and replied: "Then Zhu Ni left a message, saying that Uncle Fu was hanging on the gate tower of Zichuan City waiting for it to dry, but he didn't know how to wait for you and Grand Master Fu Huan to arrive.

When I was in Zichuan, Uncle Fu returned, returned..."

Agui sat back on the chair dejectedly and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to go out.

Why else? I must not know if Fukangan will still be alive when he and Fu Huan lead their troops to Zichuan.

If a good person is hung on the city gate tower to dry, he will probably hang to death in two days. But can he and the tens of thousands of troops led by Fu Huan reach Zichuan in two days?

Agui and Fu Huan looked at each other, and both of them saw pain in each other's eyes.

Even if we speed up the march, it will still take about three days to reach Zichuan. Unless we let the 10,000 horsemen rush straight to Zichuan regardless of the situation, or abandon all the army's baggage and rush to Zichuan in a hurry.

Sichuan, in this case, we can arrive in two days or even one day.

The problem is that even if the 10,000 horsemen can reach Zichuan in one day, it will be of no use, because you can't count on the cavalry to attack the city.

In the same way, if you choose to abandon all the army's baggage, even if you reach Zichuan within one day, it will be of no use, because without artillery and food, the battle will be impossible to fight.

What if we just simply speed up our march?

If we simply speed up the march, it is of no use, because based on walking forty miles a day, it will take three or even four days to reach Zichuan. By the time we reach Zichuan, Fukang'an estimates

It was also quite cold.

At the same time, blindly speeding up the march means that the rear army will inevitably face Zhu Jinsong's harassment. Even if the Green Battalion responsible for breaking up the rear does not collapse, the number of deserters will greatly increase.

What's even more painful is that even if Agui is cruel and doesn't care about Fukangan's life or his own life or death, it still won't solve the problem.

Because, even if the marching speed is not increased, the Green Camp will still produce a large number of deserters. Maybe the soldiers of the Eight Banners Camp will be led astray by the Green Camp soldiers.

This situation, no matter how you look at it, is a dead end.

After lowering his head and thinking about it, Agui could only sigh helplessly and said to Fu Huan: "It's better to speed up the march. Drinking poison to quench thirst may not necessarily lead to death."

Fu Huan also gave a helpless sigh and said, "That's all we can do."

However, what hurts Agui is that when the two of them speed up their march, Zhu Jinsong, a rebel with a high reputation, will sneak attack on the green camp in charge of the rear from time to time. If Agui sends the Eight Banners vest to patrol, Zhu Jinsong, the rebel, will

The thief will get in front of the army and lay mines.

It's simply impossible to guard against.

Agui couldn't figure it out. He had tens of thousands of troops under his command. They were moving together, with two or three miles between them. How on earth did Zhu Ni manage to attack the green camp behind and then run away?

Going in front of the rider to plant mines?

What's even more detestable is that Zhu Jinsong, the rebel leader, really has no moral ethics.

You said he was laying mines, so go ahead. Agui couldn't control Zhu Ni's whereabouts anyway, but Zhu Jinsong, a rebel leader with no martial ethics, did not forget to put up a sign to remind Agui that there were mines after every time he laid mines.

's brand.

This sign is usually located near Zichuan.

In other words, only after being bombed once and passing through the minefield could the spies sent by Agui see the warning signs that Zhu Jinsong had put up in advance.

It’s really too much of a lie!

Later, Agui and Fu Huan simply decided to let the civilian men who transported the baggage in the army act as spies. As for the baggage and grain that needed to be transported, they asked the Green Camp soldiers to transport it.

Anyway, it doesn't hurt to kill a few civilians, and it can also comfort the Green Camp and slow down the desertion rate of the Green Camp soldiers.

As soon as this method of forcing civilians to explore the road ahead came out, Zhu Jinsong, who had no martial ethics, no longer laid landmines, but he changed his method and began to lead people to shoot cold shots from a distance.

At the beginning, Agui and Fu Huan thought about sending the Eight Banners vests to pursue them. After all, there were only a few hundred people in each attack, but the Manzhou vests had ten thousand people. Even with a large number of people, they could still defeat them.

The people named Zhu were piled to death.

But Agui and Fu Huan never expected that the rebel leader Zhu Jinsong was so ungrateful that he would immediately run away as soon as he saw the shadow of the Manchurian vest from a distance, without any intention of fighting the Manchurian vest.

.

As a result, the number of Agui's green soldiers carrying buckets and running away once again increased. After all, no one wanted to be beaten to death while walking.

Therefore, when Agui led his troops to the west bank of Xiaofu River, the original army of 120,000 was only over 50,000 but less than 60,000.

However, the plot that really makes Agui and Fu Huan despair has just begun.

At the beginning, Agui and Fu Huan thought that since they had arrived at the Xiaofu River, they had to kill the rebels on the other side. After all, the two of them had hundreds of artillery pieces in total, and even one

If a cannonball kills a rebel, the cannonball in your own hand can also smash the opposite rebel.

But when the fight actually started, Agui and Fu Huan realized that this was not the case at all.

The number of artillery pieces in our hands is indeed large, and the number of artillery pieces displayed by the rebels on the opposite side is indeed not large. In terms of quantity, our side does have a great advantage.

But artillery is about power, not quantity.

In terms of range, the artillery built by Meng Lianggu was slightly farther than the artillery in the hands of Agui and Fu Huan; in terms of power, the artillery in the hands of Agui and Fu Huan used solid bullets, while the artillery made by Meng Lianggu used blooming bullets.

The bullets were mixed with a large amount of iron nails and gravel, and their lethality was slightly more powerful than the artillery in the hands of A Gui and Fu Huan.

Even with just a slight increase in range and power, Agui and Fu Huan suffered losses one after another despite being numerically superior, and the number of deserters in the Green Camp increased sharply.

After just two days of confrontation with the rebels on the east bank of the Xiaofu River, Agui and Fu Huan had less than 30,000 troops left.
