Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Battle for Hankow

It's just that if someone who is careful secretly observes Lu Yunzhi, they will find that his complexion is not very good, obviously a little pale caused by the initial recovery from a serious illness and excessive sadness, but Lu Yunzhi's temperament suppresses all these suspicions, and people who are not familiar with him can't see it at all, and Shi Heng, he is really a smart person, cooperating with Lu Yunzhi's arrangement from beginning to end, he knows that this is not the time to care about military power, if the country is dead, then no matter how many magnates are just clouds of the past, only if the Ming Dynasty exists and the country is strong, he can reap the benefits, That's why I'm so fully cooperative,

Zhu Jianwen led 30,000 defenders of the Beijing Division, including the five army battalions, the Shenji battalion, the 3,000 battalions, the reserve army of Shandong and Henan, the soldiers and horses of the five cities, Jinwu, Huben and other soldiers and horses, 60,000 main forces plus 10,000 people went to the frontier to make peace with the 100,000 defenders.

Accompanied by the group of people who worship the Heavenly Master's camp, Chao Xing led the disciples of all the branches of the heavens and the earth, and gathered a total of more than 500 people to help fight against the ghosts and witches, Lu Jiugang has stopped asking about the world, he often lingers in the fireworks and willow lanes, and he does not see the neatness of the year, the people of the Wind Valley told him some things before he died, and explained that he was not a person from the Wind Valley but just a husband, after a long talk, Lu Jiugang untied the knot of his heart for decades, and became free and abnormal, I don't know if the life of drunken dreams is good or bad for him,

The leopard did not participate in this expedition, so he was obviously a little unhappy, thinking that since he was diagnosed by Wang Yulu with any Laoshzi disease, Lu Yunzhi took care of him as a child, so he ignored Lu Yunzhi for a few days, and really became angry with Lu Yunzhi like a child.

This army has long been said to be led by Lu Yunzhi himself, and Lu Yunzhi also promised him in order to appease the leopard, if he becomes a family before the expedition again, then take him away, so in the past few days, the leopard has been urging Yingzi to give himself a matchmaker, and even a little hungry to eat, changing the style of only knowing how to eat, drink, fight and train the hidden department in the past, but it is not entirely anxious to go into battle, the leopard is not young after all, and it is natural for people to be anxious to find a daughter-in-law.

And at this time in Hankou, Bai Yong is leading the army to fight against Zhen Lingdan, the two of you come and I use each other's tactics, but always don't use tricks, I sneak attack your camp, and at the same time you will surprise our station, the two always fight this kind of wrong shoulder battle, and I have to say that the two of them are very good at the art of war, and they can't control each other when they restrain each other, but in general, Zhen Lingdan is more powerful, and he almost succeeded in defeating Bai Yong several times, but in front of brave generals like Bai Yong, plus the Ming army has more food and salary, but it can also be kept up and down. Neither side can help the other side,

In this way, Bai Yong gradually couldn't hold his breath, and Zhen Lingdan was also anxious, now the situation in the surrounding counties is becoming more and more stable, and the Ming army in other regions around it also took the opportunity to advance into the two lakes to defend the city, and cut off the fortresses between the two lakes, and set up heavy road blocks, so that Zhen Lingdan's food and grass supply is even more insufficient, and even the weapons are stretched thin when it starts, no wonder, after all, Zhen Lingdan is not only the enemy of Zhongzheng, but also the enemy of the entire Ming Dynasty, decided to lead the army and the Ming army to fight to the death, and the first battle was decided by the male and female,

Now the Ming Dynasty is in internal and external difficulties, the news of the war in northern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang has reached Zhen Lingdan's ears, although there is Qu Xiangtian in southern Xinjiang, and the army in northern Xinjiang is heavy, I heard that Zhu Jianwen also led troops to support, and the strength of northern Xinjiang can reach 160,000 people, but no one's soldiers and horses are vegetarian, and the war must last very long, if it can thwart the Ming army led by Bai Yong in one fell swoop, it will be difficult for the imperial court to send troops to Lianghu for a while,

At that time, you can take advantage of this period when the imperial court has no soldiers to use, accumulate food and train troops to build a high wall, and expand your strength, so only a quick battle is the most beneficial to Zhen Lingdan, so Zhen Lingdan gathered the rebels, gathered a crowd of 50,000 soldiers and horses, and coerced Hankou to confront the Ming army head-on, hoping to achieve a phased victory with outnumbered enemies.

As for after the victory, Zhen Lingdan thought about it seriously, he didn't want to take the opportunity to go north to take advantage of internal and external troubles to seek the world, the Mongolian people are eyeing the wolf's ambitions, everyone knows it, in the face of national righteousness, Zhen Lingdan understands the importance of it, what he is doing at present is just self-preservation,

Bai Yong is not an idle person, now whether it is troops, materials or firearms and cavalry, the Ming army has an advantage, and slowly depleting the enemy army is naturally the superior method of surrendering without a fight, but once the rebels are scattered among the people, it will be difficult to completely exterminate them, and now that Zhen Lingdan has gathered troops, Bai Yong of the province is looking for them one by one, and he can take this opportunity to catch them all.

The two sides have their own ideas, so the two people near Hankou coincidentally and lined up with troops in front of the battle, preparing for a battle, and the victory or defeat was decided.

The most unexpected thing for Zhen Lingdan was the performance of the five ugly vein masters, they clearly realized that if they lost again this time, they would have no way to escape, so many times and four times with the Zhongzheng lineage as enemies, Lu Yunzhi would definitely kill them, the sky net was restored and not leaked, and the five of them would definitely be unable to escape again.

Therefore, the master of the five ugly veins instead stood up bravely and took the initiative to ask Zhen Lingdan for help, saying that he would kill the enemy general in front of the battle, and capture the thief and capture the king first to make a great contribution to Zhen Lingdan.

Whether Zhen Lingdan believes it or not, since the master of the five ugly veins is no longer shaken, even if he can't succeed, it is always good to have a heart, so Zhen Lingdan went with them, and he was not very optimistic about whether they could kill Bai Yong Zhen Lingdan, but it would be good if he could cause some damage to the other party, or create some pressure.

The five ugly vein masters didn't know what Zhen Lingdan was thinking, they were just full of confidence at this time, discussing how to fight against Bai Yong who was on the march, one of the five ugly vein masters said: "Bai Yong is powerful, but a good man can't stand up to a lot of people, he is full of iron and can hit a few nails, let's besiege him in a group may not be able to take advantage." ”

"Not only that, but we also have to use a plan, have you watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, how did Guan Erye get it by beheading Yan Liang and Wen Chou, have you studied it?" Another said,

The four of them shook their heads one after another, asking him to talk about it, the man smiled slightly, pretended to be profound, and said with his hands behind his back: "First, it is fast, fast people, fast horses, fast knives, we also have to pay attention to a fast word, so that he will kill the enemy when he does not react, and strive to kill him under the horse with one move." ”
