Chapter 148: Two Women Compete for Merit
Just as the soldiers in front of him were shouting "Victory to the Ming Dynasty," Zhao Xiaofei put on his armor. This armor was quite impressive! It was modeled after the one in Jay Chou's film "Curse of the Golden Flower," and it was even more shiny.
The armor worn by his two wives, Li Sihong and Kou Baimen, is even more stunning. It's modeled after the one Jing Tian wore in the film "The Great Wall." The blue armor makes them look incredibly heroic. The bust and waist are particularly accentuated, highlighting their femininity. It's a perfect blend of majesty and grace, creating an unforgettable experience.
Zhao Xiaofei looked at his two wives and said, "Madam, are you ready?"
"We're ready to go at any time!" said Li Sihong.
"I'm ready. I am Liang Hongyu of the Ming Dynasty!" said Kou Baimen.
"Okay! Follow your husband to achieve great things! Go!" Zhao Xiaofei urged his warhorse and galloped out of the city with his two wives and more than 10,000 soldiers behind him.
Along the way, everywhere they looked, they saw the Kenan Army chasing the Zuo army. Everywhere they looked, there was fire and chaos. The bodies of the Zuo army lay scattered across the ground, illuminated by the flames. The ground was a dark red, strewn with broken limbs! Some of the Zuo army soldiers, previously poisoned, knelt on the ground, coughing uncontrollably, some with blood on their faces. They had no strength to run, so they could only sit there, supporting each other, and wait for death.
Zhao Xiaofei even saw the Kenan Army, numbering less than 100 men, chasing after the thousand-strong Zuo army, shouting and yelling for revenge. None of the 1,000 Zuo soldiers dared to organize a counterattack. But Zhao Xiaofei simply glanced at them, paying them no mind as he raced westward. He was determined to capture the Zuo father and son alive!
At this time, Zuo Liangyu and his men had already escaped far away from Anqing. Looking at the deafening shouts and cries of killing in Anqing City behind him, Zuo Liangyu lamented, "Is God going to kill me, Zuo Liangyu?" Then he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse!
Zuo Menggeng quickly jumped off his horse to help his father. He shouted, "Dad! Wake up! Wake up!"
"Young Marshal! Help the Marshal onto the horse quickly! We can't stay here, we have to keep going!" Zhang Yu said.
"The Marshal is not feeling well. Why don't we go to the dock in front? It's not far from our navy!" Huang Shu said.
At this moment, a group of people seemed to be running towards them from the east in the distance. Zuo Menggeng quickly shouted: "Prepare for battle!"
Zhang Yu then sent his troops to form a battle array, shouting, "Archers, prepare!"
At this moment, the person on the other side shouted: "Don't shoot! I'm one of you!"
Zuo Menggeng quickly ordered the archers to lower their bows and arrows, and sent men to investigate the newcomer. When they brought him over, they realized it was Ruan Dacheng. After Ruan Dacheng defected to Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu looked down on his tens of thousands of troops and assigned them to guard the navy. Frightened by the Kenan army's previous defeat, Ruan Dacheng dared not venture into Anqing City to provoke them, and naturally, he wanted to stay away from Anqing City!
But just now, the navy under his command was suddenly attacked by the Zheng family fleet. First, there was a barrage of artillery fire, then a barrage of bows and arrows. Finally, the enemy troops engaged in a stringed attack, their advance unstoppable. The left naval division was completely unable to resist, so Ruan Dacheng led his troops to flee and head towards Anqing City, preparing to reunite with the main force.
Thus, the scene just now happened. Zuo Menggeng yelled in anger, drew his sword and slashed at Ruan Dacheng. Although Ruan Dacheng was a scholar, he was still quite skilled. He dodged the blow and shouted, "Why are you doing this, Young General?"
"Why don't you hold on a little longer? We have no boat to take now! My father needs a boat now, he needs a boat!" Zuo Menggeng shouted. After hearing Zuo Menggeng's shout, Ruan Dacheng noticed that Zuo Liangyu, who was lying on the ground, had blood at the corner of his mouth.
Ruan Dacheng understood immediately: Zuo Liangyu and his men had been defeated. He was amazed. How could an army of nearly a million be defeated? Looking at Zuo Menggeng's forces, there were probably only about ten thousand men. He stood aside, not daring to speak.
Zuo Menggeng had just wanted to kill Ruan Dacheng out of rage, but after calming down, he no longer had any thoughts of killing him. Who was Ruan Dacheng? He was the representative of the Southern Financial Group. If he wanted to turn things around, he had to rely on him to pull the strings!
"Don't say anything, just carry my father and keep going! Let's retreat back to Huguang!" Zuo Menggeng said.
"Okay!" The generals could only agree. They knew that surrendering would not end well. This was a serious crime, punishable by rebellion and the entire clan. Furthermore, those who had escaped were the servants of the Zuo family, so they didn't dare to think anything about it yet.
Zuo Menggeng, accompanied by his father, could only advance slowly. At daybreak, Zuo Menggeng ordered his troops to camp in the woods for a rest. Just then, ambushed troops emerged from the woods. They unleashed a barrage of musketry on Zuo's troops, sending them into chaos like startled birds.
"Don't panic! Form a formation!" Zuo Menggeng shouted loudly. But it had little effect!
Huang Shu and Zhang Yu planned to turn around and flee, but a large number of cavalry appeared from behind. They had no choice but to defend themselves, knowing that the final moment had come.
Ruan Dacheng didn't flee this time, because he had nowhere else to go. He was trapped by the left wing's troops, pursued from both sides. Now he could only wait for God's will. But his mind was also working at full speed!
The troops on the left were hit by the muskets and grenades, and immediately began to shrink. No one dared to rush forward. At this time, Zhao Xiaofei finally arrived in front of the army. He waved his hand to stop the attack. Zuo Menggeng found that the enemy had stopped fighting, and he knew that the enemy commander had arrived. He rode his horse to the front of the army and saw Zhao Xiaofei wearing golden armor, riding a white horse, but with nothing in his hands. There were two female generals beside him, both wearing blue armor. Both women were stunning, and each of them held a bow and arrow in their hands, ready to shoot Zuo Menggeng to death at any time.
