Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 650: Zhang Yong's first drop

"Sir, what should I do?"

Seeing the collapse of the central army and the right wing, the Manchurian cavalry fled in embarrassment.

Zhang Yong gritted his teeth, he was unwilling and unconvinced, but there was no way to salvage this defeat.

Zhang Yong's general flag was still held high, and this general flag attracted many Qing troops to break down, but it also attracted more and more Taiping troops in this direction.

There is a bright light on the gambling table, it is a guy who keeps losing, others bet against him, and they won't lose. Zhang Yong is now a beacon on the battlefield, and his flag of the admiral and general is a beacon, attracting the defeated troops and the enemy at the same time.

Yu Shizhongnian wanted to recruit Zhang Yong to surrender in the commander-in-chief, and specially brought his personal guards here, preparing to persuade Zhang Yong to surrender. However, finding that Zhang Yong was still trying to gather the remaining soldiers to stabilize his position, Yu Shizhong ordered the entire army of the fifth and fourth towns to press down without hesitation, not giving Zhang Yong any respite or giving him any hope.

The Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp was indeed the strongest green camp. Although there were only a thousand soldiers left, they managed to stabilize the line of defense under the continuous attack of the Taiping Army. However, the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion was too small. In the face of the Taiping army, which was several times larger than their own, and the overall defeat, their perseverance was exchanged for the Taiping army's more and more ferocious impact.

Yu Shizhong personally commanded the fifth town and the fourth town to besiege Zhang Yong's troops. Under the successive attacks, Zhang Yong's Shaanxi-Gansu battalion fought less and less, and there were even fewer Guangxi battalions.

Zhang Yong couldn't help but face the fact that he didn't have many soldiers anymore. After discovering that a Taiping army cavalry was also moving towards him, Zhang Yong made a decisive decision, cut off his flag with a single knife, and then lashed out at his subordinates. With a drink: "Run!"

Under the stunned eyes of his subordinates, Zhang Yong pulled his horse's head and fled to the rear, so fast that even his personal soldiers did not respond.

"run!"

It was going to rain and my mother was going to get married. At this juncture, there was no room for these officers from the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp to think any more. The Admiral fell down the flag, and if they wanted to survive, it was up to them to run fast enough.

The remnants of Shaanxi and Gansu, who had been insisting, collapsed instantly when the flag fell.

The moment Zhang Yong dropped the flag, Wang Youxi, the fourth town general, laughed, and then gave an order, and the Taiping soldiers from the fourth and fifth towns rushed towards Zhang Yong's troops like a tide, like an unstoppable torrent. Rush to the Shaanxi-Gansu battalion.

Zhang Yong ran too fast, and the flag fell too suddenly. After the Admiral ran away, the Shaanxi-Gansu battalion found that they had been abandoned. Most of the Shaanxi-Gansu battalion had been fighting with the Taiping army in person, so that they couldn't even run away. The flag of the general represents the spirit of the army. Without the spirit of the army, the soldiers and horses that can fight are just helping the rabble. The Shaanxi-Gansu battalion soldiers, who had lost their command and their backbone, could no longer have the courage to resist, and they abandoned their weapons and surrendered in a mess. More than 200 Taiping cavalrymen rushed over and fiercely waved their sabres at the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion who refused to surrender. As soon as the flag fell, the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion lost its last breath. Those Shaanxi-Gansu battalion soldiers who refused to surrender just wanted to flee for their lives. Wherever they could stop these cavalry soldiers, they would be buried in corpses.

After Yu Shizhong arrived, he ignored the battalions abandoned by Zhang Yong, and directly ordered his personal guards to chase after Zhang Yong, who was desperately retreating. Under the pressure of the Taiping army, Zhang Yong's Qing army either surrendered or died. In the face of the Taiping army, which was like a wolf like a tiger, the Qing army who ran away had only one thought, that is to escape.

The cavalry took advantage of the momentum to drive out the defeated soldiers, amplifying the panic infinitely, so that the Qing soldiers had no time to think about anything other than fleeing. How can two-legged Qing soldiers outrun four-legged cavalry, but for those Qing troops who are running away, they only need to run faster than those behind. Even Zhang Yong himself had this idea now, he accepted his fate the moment he drew his sword and cut off the flag of the general. At that moment, it was destined that Zhang Yong's subordinates who were still persevering became his life-saving straw - he only needed to run faster than his subordinates!

Zhang Yong is not a woman at all. In order to escape, he abandoned everyone. However, he did not escape in the end. Zhang Yong was overtaken by a group of Taiping cavalry. In order to escape, Zhang Yong lay on the ground and pretended to be dead when people were not paying attention. But with a knife, he made up the knife on every corpse of the Qing soldiers that passed by. When the Taiping soldiers who were making up the knife came to him, Zhang Yong got up from the ground and shouted, "Don't kill me, I am Zhang Yong, the Zuobiao admiral of the Qing Dynasty, I am willing to surrender!"

Zhang Yong just dropped like this. When the news reached Yu Shizhong's ears, he still couldn't believe it. The two Qing generals that the commander personally valued were so unbearable?

However, the fact cannot be changed, Zhang Yong did drop.

Zhang Yong surrendered cleanly and neatly, and the first sentence after seeing Yu Shizhong was: "I would like to go down to Hechi for the general!"

.........

Zhang Yong pretended to be dead and could not escape the fate of being captured, but Roto was much luckier than him. King Ma Yaozi. The assistant ministers chased him all the way, but he actually let him escape. However, Roto, who managed to escape from his birth, did not expect that the green battalion soldiers in Hechi Prefecture turned against the water. It was Shi Tian, ​​the commander-in-chief that Roto had beaten with the Green Battalion soldiers of Hecheng and the young men of Guizhou in the city.

Shi Tian did not march towards Qingyuan with the army, but stayed in Hechi to preside over the defense. It was said that he was in charge of the defense of Hechi, but in reality, there were not many soldiers under Shi Tian, ​​and most of the people left in the city were young and strong people sent from Guizhou.

In the rear, Shi Tian was extremely concerned about the battle on the front line~www.NovelMTL.com~ He sent several groups of troops to investigate the front line, and the last group of troops sent him the news of the disastrous defeat of the army, so Shi Tian decided to go against the water without any hesitation.

When Roto ran to the city with a few cronies Goshiha, Shi Tianyuan wanted to arrest the other party in the city, and used Roto as a stepping stone for him to join the Taiping Army. Excited, Roto, who was about to enter the city, became vigilant and retreated. Up to now, Shi Tian didn't have to hide anything, so he directly ordered people to shoot arrows at Roto and them.

Hearing Shi Tian's order, his direct relatives naturally fired arrows without saying a word, but the uninformed battalion soldiers didn't understand what was going on. After all, the ones outside the city were the Manchu soldiers, and their fear of the Manchu soldiers in their hearts made them tremble when they were shooting arrows.

Roto sensed something was wrong in the city, but it was too late. A random arrow was shot from the top of the city, and he couldn't stop it.

Roto's death was worthless. A battalion soldier who was not a good archer shot him like a blind cat hitting a mouse.

After Roto's death, Shi Tian himself surrendered to the Taiping army with his body.

At this point, the Guangxi war that lasted for nearly two months finally came to an end. After confirming Roto's body, Yu Shizhong breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered someone to send an official letter of victory to Guangdong.

In this battle, the Qing army killed 48 generals and schools below Gushan'ezhen, annihilated 2,502 Manchu soldiers, 2,350 Mongolian soldiers, more than 3,870 Han troops, and 7,420 green battalions. He captured 39 Qing army generals and more than 9,520 soldiers. In addition, more than 1,600 war horses, more than 1,200 armors, and countless other ordnance were seized.
