Chapter 1033 The Jiang Ning Army has arrived
Just as Gao Yingxiang fell silent, a light footstep sounded from behind, and a slightly hoarse female voice sounded behind him.
"Dad, do you really want to support that Li Zicheng?"
"Why not?"
Gao Yingxiang turned his head and smiled at the visitor: "He Yilong is a good person, and he has a short temper. He Jin is greedy, these two brothers always disobey my words, if it weren't for the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, I would have cleaned him up a long time ago, and now someone has come out to fight with him, I naturally want to praise this scene, as for whether Li Zicheng will listen to me, I am not worried, anyway, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than He Yilong, right? ”
"Well, that's true." The visitor nodded.
At this time, the figure of the person who came was also revealed.
This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young girl, tall and slightly dark, her appearance can only be said to be upright, but her whole body is full of vigor and heroism, wearing a cyan jacket, she looks like she has an indescribable heroic spirit, this girl is none other than Gao Yingxiang's daughter Gao Guiying.
Gao Guiying is free and likes martial arts, and learned martial arts with Gao Yingxiang, and his skills are quite extraordinary, coupled with his bold atmosphere, he is also quite famous in Gao Yingxiang's army.
Seeing that although her father was smiling, the sorrow between her eyebrows could not be erased, she asked, "Dad, are you still worried about Jiang Ningjun?" ”
"Hmm!"
Gao Yingxiang nodded, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
"The Jiangning Army is known as the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty, and it is by no means in vain. In the past few months, you have seen the situation where we fought against Lu Xiangsheng's new army, if it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng, Shaanxi would have been in our pocket a long time ago. But I heard that Lu Xiangsheng's new army was just established by imitating the Jiangning Army, so we can see the strength of the Jiangning Army. ”
Gao Guiying's mouth opened slightly, she knew about Lu Xiangsheng's new army, half a year ago, the righteous army led by Gao Yingxiang had expanded to more than 60,000 people, although most of them were old and weak women and children, but in Gao Yingxiang's opinion, he was already qualified to be like the Ming court.
So the inflated Gao Yingxiang decided to lead the army to attack Xi'an, but unexpectedly ran into Lu Xiangsheng who heard the news, and the two sides fought a battle in Weinan, which is not far from Xi'an.
In this battle, Lu Xiangsheng's 30,000 new troops faced Gao Yingxiang's 60,000 homeless army, and Gao Yingxiang, who was full of confidence before the war, was beaten by Lu Xiangsheng and his nose was blue and his face was swollen.
As soon as the two sides started the war, Gao Yingxiang was beaten by Lu Xiangsheng, and the 60,000 army was defeated in less than half an hour.
Gao Guiying will never forget that when Gao Yingxiang commanded an army of 60,000 homeless people with hoes, flat shoulders and rudimentary weapons to kill the Ming army, the Ming army's military array suddenly sounded a thunderous roar, and one after another cannonballs and fire guns shot like raindrops among the homeless people.
The homeless people were shot down by a flurry of guns like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and she remembered clearly that the other party only fired six or seven rounds of guns, and the army of 60,000 homeless people immediately blew up, and immediately turned around and scattered like a frightened mad cow.
When Lu Xiangsheng commanded the new army to cover up, the escape turned into a rout, Gao Yingxiang, Gao Guiying's father and daughter were also defeated by the chaotic army, after the battle, Gao Yingxiang counted the number of people, Liu Wan's army finally only collected no more than 30,000, and the rest of the men and horses were either killed or all scattered.
And this battle also made Gao Guiying realize that the Ming Dynasty not only has those armies that are worse than them at the touch of a button, but also a strong army like Lu Xiangsheng, and this battle also made Gao Yingxiang, who was originally a little inflated, sober up.
Seeing that Shaanxi was no longer desirable, he immediately adjusted his route and killed him towards Henan.
As Gao Yingxiang expected, the officers and soldiers in Henan were really bad, they easily won several prefectures and counties along the way, and along the way, there were leaders from all walks of life who came to defect, and the last statistics showed that there were a total of 13 families and 36 battalions totaling 200,000 troops.
After having an army of 200,000, Gao Yingxiang and dozens of leaders combined.
Get...... Let's just fight Luoyang, as long as we can take Luoyang, the money, beauty, food, weapons and armor inside are not for them to take, Gao Yingxiang even calculated, if he can take Luoyang, the equipment of his men and horses will immediately be able to go up a level, if he can coerce all the people of Luoyang City into the ranks of the rebels, then his strength will be as strong as a snowball.
Thinking that if his command could expand to hundreds of thousands, I am afraid that they would be qualified to dominate the world, and something called ambition re-emerged in Gao Yingxiang's heart.
However, the battle of Wild Boar Ridge poured a basin of cold water on him, which made Gao Yingxiang suffer from gains and losses. Lu Xiangsheng's new army is so powerful, so how powerful is the Jiangning army, which is known as the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty?
After a long time, Gao Yingxiang suddenly asked, "Gui Ying, do you think we can defeat the Jiangning Army this time?" ”
Gao Guiying hesitated for a moment before hesitating: "I don't know this, but I think it's okay, the Jiangning army is only 10,000 or 20,000 people who are dead, and no matter how bad our righteous army is of 200,000 people, it is okay to at least retreat if you can't beat it, right?" ”
Listening to Gao Guiying's hesitant tone and unconfident expression, Gao Yingxiang smiled bitterly, it seems that even his own daughter is a little frightened of the Jiang Ningjun who has never met.
But despite the fright, he really had to fight this battle. Gao Yingxiang understands very well that if he flees without a fight in this battle, then the morale of the rebel army that has been gathered these days will collapse immediately, and the old saying is that the people's hearts are scattered and the team is not easy to lead.
He muttered: "Come on, I want to see how powerful the first strong army of the Ming Dynasty is!" ”
After Li Zicheng came out of Gao Yingxiang's residence, he only felt that the steps under his feet were windy.
Although there were not many conversations between him and Gao Yingxiang just now, they had a lot of meanings.
To put it simply, the meaning of Gao Yingxiang's words is to say, you can put up a flag, but from now on, you will serve me as the boss, Lao Tzu will let you go east, you can't go west, let you beat dogs, you can't catch chickens.
And Li Zicheng's answer is equally simple, boss, don't worry, from now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never be like He Yilong and He Jin, the two two two or five boys.
Soon, Li Zicheng rode to a small village outside the city, where there were many men dressed in various costumes, all of whom were in good health and spirit, much stronger than those homeless people who served as cannon fodder.
Seeing Li Zicheng come back, these men who were bragging and farting in the village greeted him one after another, and Li Zicheng was not a loser, and he made vulgar jokes with these men cordially along the way, until he stopped in front of a big house in the middle of the village.
When he entered the house, he saw Li Guo and a few people discussing something, and when he saw Li Zicheng coming, Li Guo hurriedly strode up and said loudly: "Uncle, Jiang Ningjun has arrived!" ”
