Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Battle of Fengyang (1)
When Wang Chengen sent people out of Beijing with the holy decree to find Wang Feng, Wang Feng also stopped near Huaiqing, and when Chongzhen received that Zhang Xianzhong was preparing to send troops to Fengyang, Wang Feng also received the news from Eagle Eye that the fifth battalion of Gezuo cooperated with Zhang Xianzhong to send troops.
Wang Feng has always wondered why what happened in the eighth year of Chongzhen has now advanced to the first year of Chongzhen. Is it because I have traveled to this era, because I am a little butterfly that has caused such a big chain reaction? Wang Feng clearly remembers that in the eighth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong personally led an army of 200,000 troops to capture the central capital Fengyang with the cooperation of the fifth battalion of the Gezuo, and dug the tomb of the Ming Emperor there, which greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Ming Dynasty.
Originally, Wang Feng had been planning to use ten years to train 400,000 elite soldiers, and through continuous training and continuous running-in, so as to create an army that belonged to Wang Feng alone, but Zhang Xianzhong's plan to attack Fengyang completely disrupted Wang Feng's previous deployment, according to the previous Anqing was in a peaceful environment, Wang Feng could develop armaments with peace of mind, but now Fengyang is under the edge of the rogue army, Fengyang is in danger as soon as Anqing is broken, Wang Feng no longer has the opportunity to develop with peace of mind, and now the biggest problem is how to ensure the safety of Fengyang, and Baofengyang is Baoanqing。
"Let's go back to Anqing. Wang Feng, who wanted to understand the powerful relationship, immediately decided to suspend the search for Li Yan and concentrate all his strength to fight the battle of Fengyang first.
"Young Master, you're finally back, Lord Song, they're already waiting for you in the study!" Wang Fu said to Wang Feng, who had arrived at the mansion.
"By the way, you go to a doctor now, let him treat Ruya well, remember to use the best medicine. Wang Feng said as he threw the coat he had taken off onto Wang Fu's body.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency. As soon as Wang Feng entered the hall, all the generals in Anqing Town stood up and greeted Wang Feng.
"You have all received the emperor's decree, right? tell me what you think?" Wang Feng waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"My lord..."As the emperor's representative, Li Ming was the first to rise up and said, "We have all received the edict of the Holy Lord to suppress the rebellion, and we are all willing to take Zhan as the head of the emperor." ”
"Okay, as long as we work together in Anqing Town, I believe we can defeat any enemy. Winshare, you can first introduce the general situation. ”
"Yes, young master. Bai Wenxuan arched his hand to Wang Feng and walked to the map next to him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you see, this is Dabie Mountain, and this is the base of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo. Bai Wenxuan's hand pointed to a place on the map.
"The Fifth Battalion of the Revolution was originally composed of local horse thieves and smugglers, as well as local bankrupt farmers, so it had a certain combat effectiveness. Ma Huihui and others were rogues sent by the thieves to the Dabie Mountains, where they propagated rebellious ideas and organized the homeless people and Ma Hu to fight against the government. The local government has also sent troops to suppress it several times, but because Dabie Mountain is located at the junction of Anqing and Huguang, each suppression has been in vain. On the contrary, the anti-thieves are more and more suppressed, and the local government has never organized encirclement and suppression, so that now the rogue is arrogant, which is why there is the current Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left. The Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Zuo claimed to have 200,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact there were less than 100,000 people, most of whom were old, weak, women and children. Of these 100,000 people, less than 50,000 people really have combat effectiveness, and these 50,000 people lack weapons and armor, including 3,000 cavalry, and most of the rest are mainly infantry. That's all we know. Bai Wenxuan finished all the news about the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution in one go!
"What do you think of it now? Wang Feng still said the same thing.
"Your Excellency. As soon as Wang Feng's words fell, Li Chengdong, the representative of the Shaozhuang faction in Anqing Town, stood up. Since following Wang Feng, Li Chengdong's official position has been promoted, and he also commands the most elite heavy armored iron cavalry in Anqing Town and all the cavalry in Anqing Town. The Blood Skull Knights of Anqing Town barely took shape.
"My lord, as long as you give me 5,000 cavalry, I promise to destroy the 5th battalion of the left side of the country. ”
Li Chengdong's mind Wang Feng understands very well, as a low-level officer, he was suddenly promoted to such a high position by Wang Feng, and it is a lie to say that no one in the army is dissatisfied, Li Chengdong knows this even more, so he is in a hurry to prove his strength more than anyone else. But how can the peasant army be destroyed so easily! This Li Chengdong is still more than brave, but not resourceful!
"Hehe, Master Li has a big breath. Before Li Chengdong sat down, Huang Xin next to him stood up and smiled.
When Wang Feng looked at Huang Xin, his brows couldn't help but tighten. The reason why Huang Xin himself was promoted to the commander of the infantry battalion was that on the one hand, he was a native of Anqing and a villager with himself, and on the other hand, he had nothing to do with the army and could not pose any threat to himself. As long as he is not a person from Jingshi, Anqing Town will not panic, but now since the commander of the horse has been integrated into the army, he Huang Xin has formed this line and become a helper of Li Ming in the army, which is exactly what Wang Feng cannot tolerate, Wang Feng's heart has already made up his mind to get rid of Huang Xin.
"Oh, then I'd like to hear what you think, Lord Huang?" asked Li Chengdong-for-tat.
"Gao Jian can't talk about it, it's just that everyone knows what the fate of these 5,000 people and 100,000 people fighting, okay, even if Lord Li, no matter how powerful your soldiers are, let's get 10 points! That's 50,000 people, but can your Lord Li's soldiers really be able to fight 1 to 10?" Haha" Huang Xin couldn't help laughing, and looked at Li Ming next to him from time to time.
"You..." knowing that he couldn't refute Huang Xin, Li Chengdong, who was speechless, couldn't help but slap the table.
"What's the matter, I'm still afraid that you won't make it?" Huang Xin also slapped the table without showing weakness.
"Sit down for me, and I'm against you!" Seeing Li Chengdong and Huang Xin arguing in front of him, Wang Feng couldn't sit still anymore. I couldn't help but roar.
Seeing Wang Feng roaring in front of everyone for the first time, they all sat down in fright.
"What are you all arguing about? No, you still take me as the chief soldier in your eyes, it's good that you guys haven't fought yet, and you two are fighting. What are we going to fight like this?" Wang Feng originally wanted to favor Li Chengdong in his heart, but it was not good to be too partial in front of so many people, so he had to scold together.
"Your Majesty is angry. They are also ignorant, and besides, what they say has their own reasons, and they ask the adults to spare them. Seeing that Wang Feng was angry, Li Ming also stood up and made peace.
Wang Feng just squinted at Li Ming who stood up, but there was no intention to raise his hand in his mouth.
