Chapter 257 Captive Li Xiangjun

Xu Yong was killed, more than 7,000 cavalry of the Zuo family army were annihilated, and the new army seized more than 2,000 intact war horses, killing and injuring the Zuo family army lying on the ground.

The more than 2,000 war horses of the Zuo family army captured will greatly strengthen the cavalry of the new army. From then on, not only the Jinyiwei in Nanjing has cavalry, but even the Nanjing New Army can have a cavalry belonging to the new army.

More than 5,000 war horses were killed and injured. Needless to say, the horses were killed and eaten. The injured war horses were inspected and found that more than 1,000 war horses could still be used after being kept, so the veterinarians were asked to treat the horses. After the injury was cured, they were incorporated into cavalry, so that the new army in Nanjing could have three thousand cavalry. Some injured horses could not be used as war horses after being cured. So they were demoted to horse-drawn horses, which were specially used to pull cannons and carts. There were more than 1,000 horses; some injured horses, even if they were cured, were scrapped, and even if they could not be used to pull horses, the horses were killed and picked up meat.

After repelling the Zuo Family cavalry, the Jinyiwei cavalry and the new army infantry led by Zhao Peng also came.

Originally, 20,000 infantry had an advantage over Zuo Menggeng's 140,000 army, but now 10,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry have come, which has formed an overwhelming advantage over the Zuo family army in the situation. Zuo Menggeng's more than 100,000 people are desperate, and what is waiting for them is the fate of being annihilated.

Zhao Peng came with 12,000 troops and joined Gao Wencai's 20,000 reinforcements, and immediately launched a fierce shelling attack on Zuo Menggeng's camp with cannons.

The twelve-pound field artillery and six-pound field artillery, which had been loaded with solid shells, spit out flames one after another, and 320 black iron balls roared into the formation of the auxiliary troops of the Zuo Family Army who were under construction. The shells fell on the ground, stirring up black dust; the shells hit the wooden stakes, and the wooden stakes that were shot were crushed, and the broken wood pieces flew everywhere like shrapnel.

The jumping shells and crushed wooden pieces hit the auxiliary soldiers of the Zuo Family Army. The flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and the screams were heard one after another. The auxiliary soldiers of the Zuo Family Army fell into pools of blood, and the wooden fences stuck on the ground were also beaten to pieces. The auxiliary soldiers of the Zuo Family Army were abandoned by the power of the ox and tigers, and finally half of the camps were built were beaten to pieces.

"Hurry up, retreat to the mountain to defend!" Zuo Menggeng roared.

"Zuo Shuai, you must not! There is a dead land on the mountain. If you retreat to the mountain, once the officers and soldiers surrounded the foot of the mountain, we will have no way out!" Hou Fangyu persuaded him hard.

Huang Shu also advised: "Has Zuo Shuai read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? The mountain is dead. Once the officers and soldiers cut off the water source, our army will be in chaos and will be defeated without fighting!"

"Master Huang, do you want to say that this commander is Ma Su?" Zuo Menggeng sneered, "Ma Su's situation is the same as that of this commander at this time? Ma Su did not have a single soldier and a soldier, and only 20,000 troops; now, I have more than 100,000 troops, and this place is only more than 400 miles away from Luoyang. Our Qing heavenly soldiers are in Luoyang. The general has already sent people to ask for help. The Qing heavenly soldiers can arrive in reinforcements in just four days! Once the Qing heavenly soldiers arrive, only 30,000 officers and soldiers will definitely be defeated!"

Hou Fangyu advised hard: "Master, our army has many soldiers and generals. If we forcefully break through the encirclement and rush out, there will definitely be many brothers who can survive and the commander can also arrive in Luoyang safely; but if we are hard at guarding the dead, the officers and soldiers will cut off food and water for our army, and there will be no food and water. More than 100,000 troops will become a burden! Two days after the water is cut off, our army will inevitably be in chaos!"

But Zuo Menggeng refused to listen to advice no matter what, but ordered the entire army to go up the mountain.

Although it was a small hill, the vehicles carrying female relatives could not go up the mountain. Zuo Menggeng had to order all female relatives to get off the car and hike up the mountain. Among the female relatives of the Zuo family who followed Zuo Menggeng and others, the more famous women were Zuo Menggeng's sister Zuo Xianmei, and Hou Fangyu's concubine Li Xiangjun and others.

Zuo Xianmei is only 28 years old, but she is not an ordinary weak woman. She was born in a general and had a strong martial arts skills and strong body. Climbing a mountain is not a difficult task for her. But Li Xiangjun is different. After walking a few steps on the mountain road, she sprained her ankle and couldn't walk any more.

Hou Fangyu shouted anxiously: "Come here! Help me carry my concubine up the mountain!"

But no one helped Hou Fangyu, and Li Xiangjun was thrown to the foot of the mountain. Seeing this, Hou Fangyu had to help Li Xiangjun go up the mountain by himself. However, Hou Fangyu was a guy with no power. The two of them helped him walk for a few steps, but they rolled down from the hillside together.

Hou Fangyu can be said to be so slack that there is no bottom line. When he fell from the mountain, he took Li Xiangjun as a cushion to protect himself. As a result, Li Xiangjun was seriously injured, while Hou Fangyu just scratched a little skin.

Looking at Li Xiangjun, who was covered in blood and could not even stand up, Hou Fangyu stood up as soon as he stood up, and ran away quickly to the mountain, leaving only Li Xiangjun who was lying in a pool of blood.

"Hou Lang, Hou Lang, don't leave me alone!" Li Xiangjun shouted weakly.

But Hou Fangyu seemed to have heard nothing, and was only rushing to the mountain alone.

"Stop! Don't run!" The shouts of the new army came from behind, followed by a few "bang bang" of the muskets. The bullets landed behind Hou Fangyu's heels, causing a wave of flying sand and stones. Hou Fangyu, who was not shot, ran faster and escaped from the range of the muskets in a blink of an eye. Just as the new army was about to continue chasing, a round of arrows shot from the hill.

Although the new army had armor on its body, the musketeers did not have thick armor, and they would be injured if they were shot by arrows. What's more, it was not worth it to lose several elite soldiers in order to chase a young man, so they gave up chasing them.

"There is a girl here, come here!" a soldier shouted.

The soldiers surrounded Li Xiangjun, who was lying on the ground and bleeding, and saw that this was a woman with a beautiful and beautiful woman. So a soldier shouted: "Hurry up, let's save her!"

But Li Xiangjun was seriously injured and could not get up, so the two soldiers ran back. After a while, the two soldiers came back with a pair of door panels. The soldiers put Li Xiangjun on the door panels and carried them back to their camp.

"Master, we have rescued a girl. She is so beautiful, but she is seriously injured and needs treatment in urgent need of treatment." The soldier reported to Zhao Peng, who was sitting in the central army's tent.

Zhao Peng personally took the four girls of Meilan, Bamboo and Ju to a tent. When he entered the camp, he saw a woman lying on the sickbed. He saw that the woman had a cute little round face, big eyes, and looked a bit like Li Qihong from later generations. She looked very cute. Although her face was not bloody and her head was wrapped, she could not hide her beauty.

Qingzhu said: "Master, you men will withdraw first, and the little girl and sisters will help the girl bandage the wound first."

Zhao Peng nodded and withdrew from the camp with several personal soldiers.

The four girls of Meilan, Zhuju opened the quilt on Li Xiangjun and saw that she was injured in many places. Although the soldiers simply bandaged her wounds, it might be because the men and women were not allowed to kiss her. The soldiers just bandaged her, and blood was oozing out from time to time on the bandages. So the four girls unbuttoned the bandages. Just as they unbuttoned the bandages, they heard Li Xiangjun screaming and fainted.

The four women took off the gauze on Li Xiangjun's body, then disinfected her wounds with strong liquor, then replaced them with clean gauze and bandaged them. There was also a place on her forehead where the rupture was too big. Qingzhu also took out the disinfected sewing needle and sewed her the wounds.

"Ah!" Li Xiangjun woke up in pain and struggled to sit up.

"Miss, don't move around. I'll treat your wounds. If you don't treat the wounds, you will die!" Qingzhu held Li Xiangjun down.

"Sister, is my wound okay?" Li Xiangjun asked anxiously when she felt that the woman sitting in front of her was using something to treat the wound on her forehead.

Qingzhu said: "Girl, it is possible that your forehead will be scarred, but nothing serious."
