Chapter 364: Abandoning supplies

"Ladies and gentlemen, the thieves are leaving, are you really not doing anything? The old man has to do something, but pity my daughter, who is not out of the cabinet, has been ruined by those animal life, and my daughter is dead...... The old man must take revenge, even if he gives up this old life, the old man must let those thieves know that we also have men in Jiaxing......"

"Duanmu...... I'm with you...... Lao Tzu has been waiting impatiently for a long time, those beasts, innocent of death, they have done so many evil things, and now they want to leave? "The one who spoke was a strong man in Tsing Yi, this person was originally Jiaxing to catch Xing Sen, and then the rogue raged in Jiaxing, in order to avoid the rogue robber, he took off his clothes to catch fast. Xing Sen was afraid of death, but when he saw that his neighbors for many years had been harmed, especially those poor women who had been mutilated, his heart was like a knife.

"Good..... Xing Zhutou, let's go now, can we kill a few and kill a few....." Duanjupiter's eyes were red, and when he picked up the long knife, he didn't plan to live.

Duan Jupiter and Xing Sen took the lead, and the neighbors who were already full of anger shouted at the Liukou, and they went out of the house with various blades, and the crowd gathered on the long street, more and more. In just one hour, almost half of the people of Jiaxing walked out of their homes, and they rushed out of the city gate to the west. At this moment, the people of Jiaxing broke out, they seemed to have forgotten about death, and they were bent on revenge.

On the thirtieth day of the third year of Chongzhen, after a few days of preparation, the Xuanfu army stationed in Huzhou marched south and approached Deqing County. Li Zicheng's most sensitive nerves were touched, and in order to ensure that there were no problems in Deqing County, he even transferred all the soldiers and horses from other places back, and the army was assembled at Qian Jinghe in the southwest of Deqing.

Tiemo was not in a hurry to attack Deqing County, Deqing and Wukang were not connected, Li Zicheng attached great importance to Deqing, and the city wall of Deqing County was reinforced, and its garrison force was by no means comparable to Wukang.

"Where are the thieves in Jiaxing Mansion?"

Li Jiucheng arched his hand and said: "Supervisor, according to the report of the spies ahead, the thieves from Jiaxing Mansion have withdrawn from Jiaxing the day before yesterday, and they should have arrived in the Tongxiang area now, and it is expected that at noon tomorrow, the vanguard of the thieves will arrive in Chongde." In addition, there are other situations in Jiaxing, a group of Jiaxing people spontaneously organized, and are chasing the thieves to the west. In addition, there are also signs of instability in Yanguan Town, Haining......"

Wang Zuohang took out the hand in his sleeve and gently touched the bridge of his nose, and his eyes, which were usually full of wisdom, were a little more melancholy at this time. These things are not expected, especially the incident in Yanguan Town, which is likely to have a profound impact on the entire battle situation.

"Inspector, there are a lot of salts in Haining County, if the salters really take the opportunity to make trouble, we are afraid that there will be big trouble, do you want to divide the troops to go to the direction of Haining?" Wang Zuojiao was very worried that Yanding in Haining County would converge with Liukou, and if Liukou took advantage of Haining's instability to bypass Deqing from Haining County, the previously scheduled plan would be in vain.

Tie Mo thought for a while, patted the map on the desktop with his hand, and said with a frown: "No, everything is going according to the original plan." If the Liukou really detour to Haining, then we will try to eat the thieves in Deqing County in one go. ”

There is a saying that it is going to rain in the sky, and the mother is going to get married, and many things are really undemanding. The matter of the salt ding was not considered in the first place, and there was no extra force to deal with the salt ding. Haining has more than 100,000 salt dings, these salt dings live a poor life all the year round, they are suppressed, and when the rogues come, they loot everywhere, but they give the salt dings a lot of stimulation.

Time flies, and twilight is coming. Looking at the starry sky, Tie Mo's heart was stunned, it was another Chinese New Year's Eve, but he spent it in the haze of war. It was a beautiful night, a beautiful Jiangnan, but it was full of grievances and hesitation. When a bell rings in the distance, it signifies the beginning of a new year. Tomorrow, what will happen? What about next year?

The four years of Chongzhen are destined to be a chaotic year, and it seems that since Chongzhen took power, the Ming Dynasty has never been peaceful. From the northwest to the Central Plains, from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River, until now, there is no pure land.

On the first day of the first lunar month, it should be a day of thousands of lights and sacrifices, but the eastern part of Zhejiang is in your tense atmosphere. The peasant army in Deqing City could not retreat, and tried every means to strengthen the city wall, and the traces of officers and soldiers could already be seen outside the city. Although he knew that Deqing City couldn't stop that kind of endless artillery fire, so what? Out of the city to fight, even more uncertain. Strange to say, after the Xuanfu army arrived in Deqing City, it did not bombard Deqing City, nor did it launch an attack.

The vicinity of Deqing was unusually calm, but Li Yan's department, who was rushing to Deqing City, was uncomfortable. Because of the large number of materials, and the leaders of the various departments were unwilling to give up, this led to a very long team and a naturally slow speed. Li Yan had already ordered the spies to disperse and be cautious, but something still happened. Fan Ling, who was at the back of the line, was caught up, and it was the people of Jiaxing who chased and killed Fan Ling.

These people in Jiaxing are crazy, they are not afraid of death at all, they swarm up and kill people when they see them. They cut off people's heads and stuck them in wooden sticks, and the methods were extremely cruel, you can't imagine that these thugs in front of you turned out to be the cowardly Jiaxing people before. Fan Ling was a little panicked in his heart, but he was more angry, he waved his knife and roared angrily: "The people in front of him retreated, killed Lao Tzu, and slaughtered this group of guys who didn't know whether they were alive or dead." ”

"Leader Fan, Leader Li has repeatedly told us to hurry up and keep up, don't entangle with these people" The deputy general looked embarrassed and persuaded him. Who would have thought that Fan Ling was even more furious, grabbed him over, and scolded Xingzi with spittle: "A Li leader, a yellow-haired child, you also listen to his words." Hmph, withdraw, look at the current situation, can we withdraw? Those people put the heads of the brothers on sticks and kicked them as balls, and if Lao Tzu withdrew like this, the hearts of the brothers would be scattered......"

Fan Ling has always looked down on Li Yan and spoke rudely, but this time his words still made some sense. The team was carrying too much supplies and was slowing down, which was the only way to bite the mob. Now that they are all entangled, that means that they can be withdrawn? Besides, the other party's methods are so cruel, it is clearly a provocation, if you don't care about anything and continue to go west, then what will the brothers under your command think?

Fan Ling roared angrily, gathered a large number of people and began to kill the people of Jiaxing. Those Jiaxing people can rush to kill, all relying on the anger and hatred in their hearts, but when it comes to battlefield fighting, they are not as good as the rogue after all. In just a quarter of an hour, tens of thousands of Jiaxing people were divided into several pieces by Fan Ling's troops. At this time, the people of Jiaxing were in a mess and had no rules at all.

When they calmed down, fear began to creep up in their hearts, and many people fled in the direction of Jiaxing. Fan Ling was angry, covering up the past, intending to avenge his brother who died tragically.

Less than five miles east of Chongde, Li Yan grabbed his hair angrily, and now Fan Ling is bent on exterminating the troublesome people in Jiaxing, and the team behind him has stopped. Regardless of Fan Ling? Fan Ling deserves to die, but those rebel brothers can't accompany Fan Ling on the adventure. Several heralds had already been dispatched, but Fan Ling ignored it at all, "This Fan Ling, what does he want to do?" Do you still want to go back to Jiaxing? Brother Lu, if you don't go on a trip yourself, you can't go on like this anymore. ”

"Well, I'll go here for my brother" Lu Weiliang responded with a serious expression, turned over on his horse, and rushed over with a few people. The army could not stay in Chongde for too long, Chongde was a place with flat terrain and relatively few rivers, and a few dozen miles nearby was a good place to use cavalry. If, at this time, a cavalry comes from the north and thrusts into the middle of the ranks, something will happen.

Li Yan was in a hurry to retreat west, not for no reason. It's a pity that Fan Ling's gang can't understand it, sometimes Lu Weiliang also wants to kill Fan Ling, this guy relies on his qualifications and has a good relationship with King Chuang, and when he wants to do nonsense, he can do whatever he wants.

After Lu Weiliang left, Li Yan ordered the surrounding army to continue to approach Chongde County, and saw that he was about to enter the city, but he saw a dark and oppressive trace in front of him. When I got closer, I found that these people looked frightened, as if they had lost their souls. Li Yan chuckled in his heart, aren't these people soldiers and horses stationed in Chongde? They appear here, so does it mean ......

"Leader Li, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are here..... It was the cavalry of Yunfu, they killed from the north, and attacked the county seat at night, and now the county seat has fallen into the hands of officers and soldiers. Leader Luo has withdrawn to Deqing, and he asked us to tell you, be careful......"

Li Yan glared and unconsciously clenched the sword at his waist. If Luo Zhixiang was in front of him, he really wanted to stab this guy to death with a sword. It's really a king and eight calves, even if you can't defend Chongde, you are deployed in the east, and you will be notified in advance. He is good, as soon as he sees that the situation is not good, he runs away, and he doesn't care about the life or death of others. It was so close to Chongde that it was too late to know what the truth was. With a distance of less than ten miles, there was no way to escape the attack of the Yunfu Iron Cavalry.

"All the army on alert...... The whole army is on alert..... Inform Leader Lu to come back quickly and tell Fan Ling that if he still wants to go back alive, get back immediately! Li Yan was ruthless this time, he really couldn't do it, so he didn't care about Fan Ling's guy.

Li Yan's reaction was not slow, but it was still too late after all. The leaders of the various divisions hastily ordered their brothers to line up, but at this time, almost everyone had a burden on their shoulders and was unwilling to give it up, which caused the formation to be loose and slow like a snail. A rumbling sound came from the west, and soon after, there was a black torrent to the north. The Yunfu cavalry killed from two directions, and in an instant, the heavy cavalry was like a heavy hammer, knocking out a crack in the loose formation of the peasant army, which became wider and wider, and could no longer heal.

All this came too quickly, and the hastily organized formation was like a layer of paper in front of those heavy cavalry, and with a slight poke, there were holes everywhere. A neat procession, with light and heavy riders cooperating with each other, and gunfire in the distance. Those Yunfu cavalrymen were skilled in bowing and horses, and they could even ride on horseback and fire guns, and some of them could also fire arrows.

At this moment, Li Yan personally experienced the power of the cavalry, and truly realized the terrifying thing about the Yunfu Iron Cavalry. In the wilderness, the cavalry swept the peasant army in all directions with the momentum of pushing and decaying, and the chain of horse iron cables swept through, causing countless casualties, and those light cavalry were divided into teams of no hundreds, constantly shuttling and fighting, so that the peasant army could not organize an effective counterattack at all.

obviously has a military advantage, but in front of the Yunfu Iron Cavalry, he can't give full play to the military advantage at all. Perhaps, this is the innate disadvantage of infantry against cavalry. Once the cavalry has the upper hand, the infantry is like a lamb to the slaughter.

After the continuous rush, some of the leaders finally couldn't stand it anymore, and they each found a good direction and prepared to escape. Escape, no problem, but their move caused a bigger gap in many places, and the cavalry rushed back and forth more unscrupulously along the gap, and in the blink of an eye, the casualties were all in pieces, and the ground was dyed red.

Olge slowly raised the blade in his hand, his cold face was like ice in winter, "Don't chase and kill, attack the opponent's home formation with all your might, and you must not let this group of rogues come back to their senses...... The property discarded by the thief shall not be ignored, and whoever dares to take something for himself without permission shall be killed! ”

At this time, the gap between the peasant army and the Yunfu cavalry was completely revealed. In order to flee for their lives, many peasant soldiers threw their burdens on the ground, and for a time the blood-red ground was full of all kinds of treasures, but the cavalry was not moved at all.

Li Yan saw it clearly, when those cavalry were not tempted by gold and silver treasures, he could only sigh that the Yunfu cavalry was highly disciplined. Defeated, completely defeated, I was still counting on these yellow and white things to mess up the other party and win a respite for myself. The strategy failed, and there was no possibility of counterattack. Raised his head and looked at Chongde County to the west. Li Yan clenched his hands vigorously, "All the departments discarded all their baggage and withdrew to Haining County with all their might. ”

"Whew...... It's just that Leader Fan's people haven't caught up yet......" The man who spoke was halfway through his words, and he was frightened by Li Yan's cold eyes. Li Yan pulled out his saber and glared coldly, "Whoever wants to wait can wait, Li will not accompany him....."

Li Yan now has the mind to chop Fan Ling up and feed the dogs, if it weren't for Fan Ling's bastard, the army wouldn't have moved so slowly. If you go to Chongde County early, will you be caught by the Yunfu cavalry? In this situation, Fan Ling asks for more blessings, who can take care of him? Li Yan withdrew to the southwest with the men and horses, and the others would not hesitate, everyone said that it was okay, and they stayed and waited for Fan Ling, unless their heads were filled with dung.

Li Yan led the troops to evacuate, and the baggage was even more lost, at this time, no one cared about these yellow and white things, and the desire for life overcame everything. It's just that in this way, Fan Ling and the others, who have been at the back of the team, will be unlucky. After Fan Ling learned of the battle situation ahead, he was so frightened that he hurriedly tightened his forces and rushed to the direction of Chongde without stopping, but halfway through, he was told that the main army had withdrawn in the direction of Haining.

Fan Ling was directly dumbfounded, now there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses around him, what should I do? You can't beat it, and you can't run it, and you don't necessarily be able to run. The materials must not be wanted, and if you drag these materials, you can only go to the Hades Palace to report.

Everyone fled in panic, and Fan Ling sat on horseback, his eyes full of coldness. He looked up at the people behind him, and secretly made a decision in his heart.

"Brothers, we will also retreat to Haining County, speed up, don't let the officers and soldiers catch up with ......"

"Haining County...... Hurry up ......"

There seems to be no problem with withdrawing to Haining County. It's just that no one noticed the strangeness in Fan Ling's eyes.
