Chapter 564: Loyal Liver and Righteous Courage Wu Sangui (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
On the official road leading to the Beijing Division, the army is walking in the dust, most of the soldiers in this army are wrapped in white cloth scarves, cloth armor is covered with filial piety robes and hemp ropes around their waists, but most of the soldiers do not have filial piety clothes, but only tie a strip of white cloth on their heads and a hemp rope around their waists.
In the ranks, there are several big flags, with the word "Ming" written on them, and there are hundreds of big flags with "Wu" written on them, and these soldiers who carry weapons and carry big flags are the so-called "Guanning Army".
Since Wu Sangui led the army to the south, he has been staying in Shanhaiguan for the past few days, although the forward arrived in Lulong, but did not go west, but sent a lot of spies to inquire about the movements of the thieves, after learning that Liu Zongmin returned to the capital, the thieves in the Baodi area fought separately, Wu Sangui meant that his opportunity came.
100,000 thieves scattered in Pinggu, Sanhe, Baodi, Ninghe area, originally they were all under the leadership of Liu Zongmin, but now they are fighting separately, the excited Wu Sangui knows that if he can defeat the enemy, then he Wu Sangui will inevitably become a hero of the Ming Dynasty, and then the whole world will know how loyal and patriotic he is.
With such a mood, he immediately sent his general Zhang Guozhu to lead 20,000 horses to attack Baodi, and he himself led 10,000 cavalry to attack Sanhe under the banner of "avenging the monarch's father".
In another time and space, he also used such a banner, even when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. It's just that right now, this banner is still the same, and in the other world, it's just to fool the world.
According to Wu Sangui's plan, this time he had to first hit the 30,000 thieves led by Yuan Yan of Sanhe.
Yuan Biting, one of the eighteen horsemen who entered Shangluo Mountain with Li Zicheng, is also Li Zicheng's henchman, in the Shun army, although he is not a famous general, but he is also a battle-hardened master. In his opinion, those officers and soldiers are at most the material for defending the city, and if they fight in the field, they are simply rookies.
Maybe it was because of his contempt for the official army that he set up the camp outside the city of Three Rivers, in fact? This is also for ease of command. Although these days? The big guy is thinking about the reward after entering Beijing, and he is quite dissatisfied with the emperor's lack of reward? But fortunately, everyone is still in good spirits? From time to time, there were some laughing and scolding voices in the camp.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Yuan Biting's methods? A few days ago, when the brothers were making a fuss? His eyes squinted with a fierce light? Muttering to himself:
"We don't have any money, can the big dogs around here have no money?"
So, Yuan Yan sent soldiers? Ransacking the people of the prefecture and surrounding towns from house to house? In this way, not only did they have silver to pay their salaries, they had food to serve as military rations, and even women could work in the army, and women were naturally the wives and daughters of large families and the people.
Met a general who is so considerate of everyone's hard work? These thieves will naturally stop making trouble, and it will be much more comfortable to go over this little day? In a large camp, a dozen or dozens of people? Scattered around the camp at random, or chatting and farting? Or punch and drink? Or put it in a red tent? Catch the woman rampant.
Of course, Yuan Yan didn't treat himself badly, in his big tent, a few freshly captured women would be sent every day, and they were all women with good looks.
Be a groom every night, and more than once. And those brides have both big girls and small jasper, which can be said to have everything.
Fortunately, he is in good health, otherwise he might have died in the army because of several people, but even so, everyone laughed at it as a joke, after all, there were a few old brothers who died on the belly of a woman because of "Lian Yushu Girl.......
Just when there was such a commotion in the camp of the thieves, in the wilderness in the distance, under a few ownerless wild horses, there were several corpses of the Shunjun cavalry, and Wu Liu, who was riding on the horse, snapped his fingers and commanded.
"Change into their clothes and clean up the sentry along the way."
Soon, everyone changed into the robes of the Shun army, in fact, the robes of the Shun army were not fixed, my sister did not say what many people who came to the plunder, even the old battalion soldiers also grabbed what to wear, of course, there are also many elites who are wearing blue cloth robes and wearing felt Fan Yangli.
In this way, this cavalry quickly dispersed, and began to kill the sentinels along the way, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Guanning army was not inferior to the Manchu Qing, as the last optimus of the Ming Empire in history, they were the last line of defense of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, even if they were torn apart by the Manchu elite in the field, the victory or defeat was also five or five.
Compared with the thieves, these battle-hardened Guanning troops had the upper hand from the beginning, and when attacking, they first sent rangers to disguise themselves as enemy soldiers, and then cleared the outposts, which were what the Manchus were best at in the past, and the Manchus often raided the Ming army, relying on clearing the outposts, and then killing the Ming army by surprise.
I've never eaten pork, I've always seen pigs walking.
Now the Guan Ning army is just following the same example, but to their surprise, the thieves have deployed few outposts, if it weren't for the fact that they have already explored many times before, Yuan San is afraid that he would really think that the other party is deliberately luring the enemy to attack.
But the actual reason is that the thieves don't have much awareness at all. It may even be, in their opinion, that the officials and the army are all rookies and do not dare to take the initiative at all. It's no wonder, after all, they were all "spoiled" by the officers and soldiers they encountered before. In battle, as long as the whole army rushes forward, and then uses cavalry to rush on the flank, it will definitely be able to kill those officers and soldiers.
There are such opponents one after another, and these thieves, who are themselves highly disciplined, of course, cannot carefully send a large number of sentries every day to guard everywhere. With this kung fu, it is better to plunder a few more big families and grab a few more little ladies.
But they didn't expect that in the woods near the camp, Wu Liuzheng was looking at the camp of thieves with cold eyes. At his feet lay the bodies of two rogues. This is the sentry of the thief. The Guanning army, which had been fighting in Liaodong for many years, treated the enemy cruelly, and in order to force the pass password, Wu Liu directly castrated a thief, and the other thief was immediately stunned and obediently confessed the password. But even so, in exchange for a cruel laugh, two knives ended in the lives of two thieves.
At least you can die a happy death!
"Let's go, let's go to the camp!"
After getting the password, Wu Liu led dozens of horsemen to swagger into the camp, no one expected that they would be so bold.
After entering the camp, Wu Liu and the others began to look for targets in the camp.
Suddenly, I heard a rumbling sound in the distance.
"What's that?" One of the rogues pointed to a fast-moving "dark cloud" in the distance.
"Yes........ It's officers and soldiers! A rogue with good eyesight exclaimed, "That's the cavalry of the officers and soldiers!" ”
Five thousand iron horsemen galloped on the boundless plain, each cavalry wore a hat and iron helmet, the helmet was red tasseled and floated high, they were lined with fiery red cotton armor, and there was dark armor inlaid with iron leaves, and the outside wore black armor that exuded a chill.
Where did this cavalry come from? How can it be so scary!
When the thieves appeared in the sight of the cavalry of the Guanning Army, they took out their cold cavalry guns from their horse pistols and pointed them at the frightened thieves, and accelerated their rush like a tide.
"Meet the enemy!" A rogue general let out a trembling roar.
A large expanse of heavy horses' hooves trampled on the dry ground, making a dull roar, which made the rogues even more panicked and chaotic. While the camp was in chaos, no one noticed that someone had pushed several carts against the wall of the camp.
It was Yuan San and the others who had infiltrated the camp earlier, they got gunpowder from the powder magazine, and then loaded it on the car to blow up the camp wall.
Yuan Biting, who was carrying his pants, walked out of the camp tent, listening to the deafening, cold sweat broke out, and before he could figure out how to deal with it, those cavalry had already rampage mercilessly.
It was at this time that suddenly there were several loud noises and violent explosions in the camp, which shocked everyone, including Yuan Bite, and everyone looked around in a daze.
"What's going on?"
