Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Hearing the sound of drums on the city and the cries of "The demons of the Qing Dynasty are defeated", the Qing troops on the northern defense line fled even more quickly, lest they run too slowly and ask the Shangguans to leave them as dead sheep. At a glance from the top of the city, the battalion lost its helmets and armor, and the flag fell. , I have never seen the Qing army look so embarrassed.

When the northern line collapsed, the Qing army along the river line in the west could not support it. At the beginning of the war, the Qing army was broken through two lines of defense by the Taiping army in person. The remaining soldiers rely on the last line of defense and the Taiping army for the final resistance.

Since the start of the war, Wang Shiqing has been complaining incessantly, and has been sending people to the commander-in-chief Lin Shanzhi for urgent help. But how could Lin Shanzhi have any soldiers and horses to adjust to him!

In the siege of the Prince of Pingnan a few months ago, the biggest loss was the Guangdong Green Camp under Lin Shanzhi. Before the war, he brought 3,500 main troops of the Guangdong Green Battalion, and there were thousands of soldiers from the Guangzhou County Green Battalion for him to command. Almost all the battalions were buried under the fortified city of Xinhui.

Thinking of the loss of more than 1,000 direct descendants, Lin Shanzhi has the heart to hang himself. He must know that he can become the commander of the Guangdong Green Battalion, relying on his gang of Dashun Army, who used to be Li Zicheng, and later the Hubei Zhenbing Army of Daming. , Next is the old brother of the Qing Green Battalion! With these subordinates who have added blood for more than ten years, Lin Shanzhi was able to stand out from the many subordinate generals under Pingnan to become the general soldier of the Guangdong Green Battalion, and also one of the candidates for the appointment of the Guangdong Admiral. But after the battle of Xinhui, the number of direct descendants under his command was almost half reduced. This didn't make Lin Shanzhi feel distressed, and it also made him regret it. He had known that Xinhui City was so difficult to fight. At the beginning, he was fascinated before he brought all the elites with him. Come here, and then ask for the first battle in front of Shizi Shangzhixin! As for those prefectural battalions who were used as cannon fodder. Lin Zongbing never took them to heart.

Although the governor of the Yamen and Hepingnan Wangfu later dispatched 4,000 soldiers to Lin Shanzhi, these 4,000 soldiers were pieced together from various prefectures and counties, and there were all factions under the Pingnan domain. They all recognize their own officers, so don't pay attention to him, General Lin!

As far as Lin Shanzhi is concerned, it is not bad to keep the command, but the big deal is to move the Prince Pingnan out, and there are those Han army flags watching, and these guys have to obey if they don't agree. You have to obey orders! But the rest of the soldiers who were temporarily pulled into the army was not a question of commanding or not, but that these people were helping ordinary farmers before they were forcibly conscripted by the local government into the barracks, and they did not even take a knife beforehand. Isn't it a joke to wait for the recruits to go into battle to kill the enemy!

Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Pingnan was reasonable and knew that these soldiers could not be used, so he did not let Lin Shanzhi use them, as long as they did some handyman in the camp. After a few months of besieging the city, Lin Shanzhi still had someone give these recruits a little training. If you can't go to battle, it's okay to form a team to carry the flag and make a big splash.

With so much family background, Lin Shanzhi no longer dared to fill his men into the bottomless pit of Xinhui City like the Xinhui battle in June, and he always looked forward to His Royal Highness to withdraw his troops. But His Royal Highness is determined to fight with the thieves and talents in the city, and to attack the fortified city regardless of the lack of food and grass, but which time the siege is not his Lin Shanzhi's Guangdong Green Camp rushing in front, and which time the most dead person is not his Lin Zongbing. people. But how can this be done? There are the Han army flags and the **** pressing the governor. It would never be his turn to avoid the battle to preserve his strength.

After three storms, there were less than a thousand people left in Lin Shanzhi's direct line, and just this person was divided into a lot by the generals and co-spinners under the Pingnan domain. What he can really call on is the personal soldiers around him. Without the support of the direct line, the battalion soldiers who were transferred from various places did not even care about him, the nominally highest officer of the Guangdong Green Battalion. Those officers did not even come to him for the last two days. "Strategy".

It doesn't matter if he doesn't come, it's all here. Lin Shanzhi is not interested in showing his majesty as the chief soldier in this unstable military camp. The only thing he hopes for now is two things, or His Royal Highness orders the withdrawal of troops, everyone. He ran back to Guangzhou hungry; either the reinforcements from Guangzhou arrived or the food and grass could be delivered, and then everyone gritted his teeth and surrounded him for a few months.

No matter which of these two things is fulfilled, Lin Zongbing is full of optimism about the future. So he didn't ask about matters in the army, and it was useless to ask. Now, everything big and small is decided by His Royal Highness, and what he said can't even reach His Highness. The sky is the limit. Today, when he was ordered to go to the military meeting in the big tent, he was still holding the tortoise as always, not expressing any opinion on anything, just waiting for the last order from His Royal Highness, but this time he saw what shocked him. The matter of the chin was settled - Geng Zhongde, the commander of the Jingnan domain, and Hu Qili, the governor and pacesetter, wanted to retreat without authorization.

When the generals under the Pingnan domain were discussing to withdraw the army behind His Royal Highness, Lin Shanzhi had quietly returned to his tent. When Wang Shiqing sent someone to urgently, Lin Shanzhi urged his personal soldiers to collect the gold that had been collected from his tent in the past few months. Silver Treasure Loading.

Wang Shiqing is his brother who has been with him for more than ten years, and there are hundreds of his own direct descendants who are stationed by the river. Lin Shanzhi has to take care of the life and death of others, otherwise he will be the real chief soldier. Became a bare-knuckle general.

"When things can't be violated, Shiqing can decide by himself."

Wang Shiqing was at a loss when he heard the commander-in-chief brought back by the personal soldiers. Although the thieves in the city are frantically attacking the defense line, and there are thieves and navy reinforcements on the river, the Qing army still firmly occupies the military superiority. Fang cooperated in place, as long as Wang Shiqing was still in control of the riverside defense line, the thieves would not be able to overturn the sky! But why did the commander-in-chief want me to self-determination when I said something could not be violated?

"What else did Master Lin say?"

"Just this sentence, UU reading www.uukanshu.com didn't say anything else." The personal soldier was also a smart person, looked around, and whispered: "Sir, the youngest is in the account of the general soldier. At that time, Zongzhen was busy calling people to load the car."

"Load the car?"

Wang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and without waiting for him to ask any further details, there was a commotion in the camp, and then came the news that the yellow flag soldiers had run away. There was another cry of "The Qing Yao is defeated." Now Wang Shiqing finally understood what Lin Shanzhi's words meant, and without saying a word, he called a few cronies over and ordered them to quickly gather his subordinates to follow him.

A cronie worried: "Sir, if we withdraw, those guys can't stop it, but the thieves will be able to echo with Jiang Shang, and then it will be broken!"

"The yellow flags have already run away, what else are we going to do!" Wang Shiqing glared at the cronie angrily, and ordered him to act quickly. If it was too late, the thieves would stop him, as long as he wanted to run. Ran.

All the subordinates didn't want to fight for a long time. When they heard the arrangement of the lieutenant, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and went to prepare without saying a word. To be continued.
