Chapter 476: The Battle of Guide

The continuous sound of fire guns seemed to have never stopped in the ears of Lin Chengcheng, He Jin, Ji Jue and others since the beginning of the world. Finally, the sound of firecrackers gradually stopped, and the hundreds of firecrackers in Li Zicheng's old camp rushed to the square with bright spurs and began to clean up the survivors.

From time to time, there is a "poof! The muffled sound of the spike piercing into the armor and the body was the movement of the gun when the wounded person was detected.

Hearing such a sound in his ears, the bloody scene in front of him suddenly made Liu Xiyao, He Jin, Lin Yangsheng and the other three handsome men who were still talking nonsense just now drunk.

"Li ......, no! Generalissimo! Generalissimo! The three handsomes knelt in front of Li Zicheng and kowtowed, facing the moment of life and death, no matter how strong a hero was, he might not be able to resist the power of the firecracker.

"Three virtuous brothers, why bother? Luo Rucai did not listen to the general's orders, and colluded with Zuo Liangyu in private, planning to defect from the righteous army and take refuge in the Ming court. What do these things have to do with the three of them? ”

What is the so-called sin of desire? Everyone knows that at present, Ming Ting is already in a state of survival, and the difference is how long it can last. Luo Rucai let go of the commander of the free first battalion instead of being the commander, but went to surrender to Zuo Xiaoshou Zuo Liangyu, who had already been beaten to the ground? Surrender to the Ming court? Is that what Cao Cao and Luo Rucai, who have always been known for their resourcefulness and calculation, do? I'm afraid that even the famous fool Adou can't do it, right? However, there are also such people, who do not see the leader of a certain island, who clearly demands that the government that is dozens of times stronger than him in size and strength respect the restoration of the Constitution of the Republic of China, and there are also some drummers who demand that the People's Liberation Army accept the reorganization of the government and revert to the name of the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army? Therefore, compared to them, Adou, who can say "I can't miss it here", is enough to protect the words of the whole family, which is considered a genius.

That being said. But a big stone in the hearts of Liu Xiyao and others gradually let go, and one of their lives was saved! However, at this time, the focus of everyone's eyes on the field was focused on Ji Jue, who was just a few steps away from Cao Cao when he was pulled by Niu Jinxing and others.

"Brother Ziyu, when you get to this step of the field, why don't you turn back quickly, but when?" Niu Venus's expression changed suddenly. put away Fang Cai's warm and jade-like demeanor, and spoke sharply, just like a great monk to the people who indulged in the red dust.

"Mr. Ji, now that you have gone, Ben Shuai has to rely on Mr. Dacai. If he does not give up, this king is willing to treat Mr. Niu like Mr. Niu. As soon as Luo Rucai died, Li Zicheng's name for himself also changed, even if he called himself the king.

As Luo Rucai's confidant and advisor, Ji Jue kept secret matters from Cao Ying. The mastery of various strength insiders is far beyond the ability of ordinary people, so Li Zicheng not only wants to save his life, but also to be gentle and comforting, treat each other with courtesy, and promise to be a high-ranking official.

With the help of Ji Jue, Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi and others carried out the encirclement and disarming activities of Cao Cao's old camp quite smoothly.

According to the various documents and official documents of Cao Ying that Ji Jue kept and mastered. The soldiers were registered, and the generals who broke into the camp immediately grasped the full list of Cao Ying's strength and the establishment system. Immediately according to the records of the soldiers. According to the distribution of each battalion and each outpost, the personal origin and hobbies of the generals leading the troops, and the distant relatives of Luo Rucai, it was decided whether to buy or send troops to surround and disarm around the camp and reorganize them.

Not long ago, the tens of thousands of people who had just changed from Henan Tukou to Cao Ying were the most convenient, and in their opinion, they were just changing their banners. It's just a change of manager. After Liu Zongmin incorporated them, he immediately ordered these tens of thousands of people to be the vanguard, and continued to divide and surround the soldiers of Cao Ying.

What's more, there are Liu Xiyao, Lin Yangsheng, He Jin and others, who have just returned from the struggle of life and death. He also got Li Zicheng's promise, "help to collect the soldiers of Cao Ying, and you can allocate it to elite soldiers and horses." Under such temptation and encouragement, these three were naturally full of energy to help calm Cao Ying's people's hearts.

After seven or eight busy days, the situation has finally calmed down.

However, it is also a mistake in the busy.

As the saying goes, Qin Hui also has three good friends. What's more, Luo Rucai, who has always been good at nurturing and winning people's hearts? As soon as he died, his cronies Yang Shenzu, Yang Shan, the Chinese army, Zhu Yangmin, the banner and drum officer, several generals Wang Kehuai and Hao Youfa, and Luo Rucai's own uncle Luo Dain and others immediately clamored and fled with their cronies.

Unlike in the past, they fled in all directions, one to the east and the other to the north!

To the east is the area where Cao Ying's brigade is stationed, and breaking into the camp is to make some moves and also to throw rats, lest the action will cause the brigade to mutiniate and be used by these people. What's more, going east is to join Wang Long, who is fighting on the ground in eastern Henan, and the movement is too loud to go.

As a result, Liu Tichun and Liu Fangliang, who were in charge of the pursuit, could only chase after them tightly!

Wang Long, who was far away in Xuzhou, learned from the news sent by Yang Shenzu and others to risk death Pegasus, how could he continue to feel at ease?

Immediately, several confidants were convened to discuss countermeasures. But unexpectedly, all of them were one-sided. "Let's go! Head east! Go and vote for Mr. Li! ”

Li Huayu's strength is strong, coupled with huge trade contacts, if Wang Lung brings his men and cities and territory to him, it will be tantamount to a huge help to him, in the face of this unexpected gift from the sky, how can Li Huayu refuse? Therefore, taking refuge in Li Huayu is the only choice that is enough to save everyone's lives and avenge Cao Cao in the future.

So, after meeting up with Yang Shenzu, Luo Dain and others, without saying much, Wang Lung explained to them that he wanted to go east to Li Huayu, first protect the little people left by his uncle, and then seek revenge for his uncle!

Yang Shenzu, Luo Dain and others were chased and killed by Liu Fangliang, a brave general who broke into the camp, and Liu Tichun, who was in charge of the hidden piles and spies in various places in the camp, and the first Buddha ascended to heaven and the two Buddhas were born. Now that I heard Wang Lung say such a place, I naturally agreed without hesitation.

"I have sent someone to Jinan with my letter, asking the eldest prince to take him in, and to take people out to meet me for some distance to keep me safe." Wang Lung did not hide it from everyone, and bluntly said his disposal plan.

"Also. I still have seven or eight hundred people from the Qin Law School on hand, and I originally planned to act as state, county, village and town officials everywhere along the way, and I also took these people with me, and the eldest prince also needs such people! ”

Originally, I planned to take the tens of thousands of bandits armed along the way to Shandong, but look at those knives, guns and equipment, all kinds of rabble. Wang Lung still shook his head, "Forget it! Keep them and let them fend for themselves in this area of Xuzhou! ”

"Wang Lung, are you stupid!? Take these people away! There are benefits for us! Yang Shenzu and Sun Chengzu were both old thieves who had been fighting with Cao Cao for many years, and when they heard Wang Long's arrangement, they were anxious: "What's the use of you just taking gold and silver with you?" There are only more than 10,000 people in your headquarters, and there are only two or three thousand more if you count us. You have been making the new army stupid with Luo Hu in the past few years, and you have forgotten our old business! Take them with you! In this way, whether Liu Fangliang catches up or Luo Hu catches up. We have to deal with these people first, let's just go east and let go of the four forks of the skin! ”

In a hurry, Sun Chengzu came out with all the black words of the year. It means that the horse's four legs are spread out and run!

Facts have proved that Yang Shenzu and Sun Chengzu are long-tested old fritters. In terms of how to run smoothly in the face of superior enemies, he has much more experience than Wang Long. When the army of Luo Hu, Liu Fangliang and others chased after them, they found that the first thing they faced was tens of thousands of chaotic Henan bandits.

Although the combat effectiveness is not good, the victory lies in the large number of people. Win in poor discipline and poor training! That's right, this time. Poor discipline and poor training are also their strengths. The team with no discipline and no level of training, facing Luo Hu's elite troops, the Zhenshan Battalion, naturally couldn't walk down for a round, often a few rows of guns rang out, or a few shells fell into their positions. The team immediately blew up the pot and messed up the team, running around the mountains. The crowd scurrying everywhere also blocked the pursuit route of Luo Hu and others, every time they encountered this situation, they faced Wang Long's tricks of losing their pawns and protecting their cars to survive. Luo Hudu had to smile bitterly and order someone to temporarily stop the pursuit and take in the prisoners first.

When the captives were contained and the road was probably cleared, Wang Lung also ran out for another day's journey.

In this way, Wang Lung kept throwing all kinds of rags along the way to block the pursuit team that blocked and hindered the camp, and Luo Hu and Liu Fangliang had to contain the abandoned rabble each time before they could organize the team again and set off in pursuit. The two teams started from Xuzhou, located in central Henan, and crossed the Yinghe River, Shuangye River, and Qingliu River to the east.

Wang Lung, who lacked virtue, knew that Luo Hu's team was fine, and every time he crossed a river, he would tear down bridges and burn boats. Although according to the tradition of the camp, bridges and boats were not needed for these unknown small rivers, but for the camp of the Earthquake Mountain, which had a large number of artillery and baggage, bridges and boats were necessary.

Liu Fangliang, who was in a hurry along the way, couldn't stop stomping his feet on horseback. He had the intention of leaving the Zhenshan camp and letting Luo Hu slowly follow behind, but he was worried that without the guards of the Zhenshan camp, his thousands of cavalry would not be eaten by Wang Long's hungry tiger. It is planned that the Earthquake Mountain Battalion will give up artillery and baggage, but without the artillery and those baggage vehicles, is the Earthquake Mountain Battalion still the Earthquake Mountain Battalion?

In this way, Xuzhou, Chenzhou Mansion, and Guide Mansion went all the way to the east, and chased them all the way to the edge of Jining Mansion, but they were only the seven seven eighty-eight who eliminated Wang Long, Sun Chengzu, Yang Shenzu and other miscellaneous teams.

As the saying goes, the trickster can't hide the gong. Everyone is from a "rogue" background, and they are naturally well aware of this kind of running away. As Liu Fangliang, Luo Hu, Liu Tichun and others, who also grew up in the ranks of the peasant army, knew that if they did not catch or kill Wang Long, Yang Shenzu, Sun Chengzu, and other Cao Ying, no matter how many bandits they were captured, it would be useless. Give them a little time and space, maybe Wang Lung can erect the banner of Cao Ying again! At that point, it will be a big problem to break into the camp!

"Chase! Catch up! ”

Luo Hu was also ruthless, he gathered all the horse teams in the Zhenshan camp, combined them with Liu Fangliang's cavalry, and ordered the deputy general Wang Si to lead the infantry and artillery team to follow quickly. He himself and Liu Fangliang led the cavalry to chase eastward desperately! ……

"Get out of line! Tell them that this is the boundary of Shandong, and we are the Nanyue Army. At present, he is preparing to go to Chenzhou Mansion and Guide Mansion to recover the city. Ask what team they are. Don't get in the way of our business! ”

Liao Dongzhi lined up the troops of the two brigades in a formation on the long plain, looked at the several trenches and low walls in front of the formation, nodded quite confidently, and ordered one of his riders to go forward to answer Luo Hu and the others.

In his opinion, Luo Hu and the Shandong soldiers and horses and the Nanyue army have some incense love, why should everyone tear their faces when they meet? Tell you I'm here. I'm going to reclaim the territory and the population of those two provinces, and you get out of the way. If there is any disagreement, we can sit down and bargain, anyway, I can't let you enter the Shandong territory, let alone let you take Wang Lung away.

However, when Liao Dongzhi's messenger was taken by several camping rangers to the huge recognition flags, and was about to ask the meaning of the camp after explaining his intentions, a scene that no one had imagined happened.

In Liao Dongzhi's telescope lens, Liu Fangliang suddenly swung his spear. And he stabbed the messenger under his horse.

"What nonsense! What Nanyue Army, in the eyes of Lao Tzu, are all thieves! The team that took in the traitor Wang Long is to oppose our rebel army! I am ashamed to want to go to Guide Mansion and Chenzhou Mansion, damn! Lao Tzu will send you to see Yan Lao Wu first! ”

Scolding in his mouth, the spear in Liu Fangliang's hand rubbed against the messenger's corpse, wiping away the bloodstains, and Liu Fangliang's own soldiers had already galloped away and led the messenger's war horse back.

It was a war horse from Tamna Island. The parents are Tianzhu's big horse-eating breed and the Horqin horse from Liaodong, which are tall and tall. With slender legs and bright eyes, he knows that he is a good horse at a glance.

Liu Fangliang jumped on the horse very satisfied, and ran left and right a few laps, "Let's see the real chapter on the sword and gun!" ”

With a roar from his mouth, thousands of cavalry behind him followed him to recognize the flag. A furious rush rolled up in the winter wasteland.

Tens of thousands of horses' hooves pounded on the hard ground, and from time to time a farrier carried the icy dirt scattered. The cavalry of the brigade followed the hundreds of personal soldiers led by Liu Fangliang galloped forward, and the horses were divided into good horses and horses, and the riding skills of the people were also different, and the formation gradually divided into levels. A wave of cavalry was formed.

"Rush up, kill!"

On the waves, Liu Fangliang shook the spear, the spear, the horse, and the beautiful red cloak made him particularly dazzling in this wave, just like the tide on the Qiantang River, the spear, the horse, and the cloak were his markers.

However, the tide is standing at the head of the tide, and the red flag is not wet. Liu Fangliang forgot who produced the spear in his hand, who sold him the armor on his body, and where did he get the war horse under his crotch.

"It's over! Uncle Mingyuan is probably going to suffer! "From the telescope, I vaguely saw that the Nanyue army was in formation, and dozens of artillery pieces of various sizes were lined up between the trenches, low walls, and phalanxes, which was already a posture of being ready for battle, not to mention, Liu Fangliang killed the messenger who came for no reason, which aroused the morale of the Nanyue army, this time, I am afraid that Liu Fangliang will suffer!

"Quick! Come with me! Snatch General Liu back! Can't let him rush up! ”

Luo Hu was a little angry. He knew that this kind of terrain seemed to be a plain and wilderness, and it was most conducive to cavalry attack. However, based on his understanding of the tactics and training level of the Nanyue Army and the harsh military discipline of the troops, the Nanyue Army liked to play a trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger under such circumstances, taking advantage of the illusion brought by the terrain to the cavalry team, and relying on the built field fortifications to plot against the cavalry generals.

In fact, it's not a plot, people put this cart of horse artillery on the bright side, and you yourself slapped the horse's ass and rushed up.

Several trenches, enough to slow down the charge of the horse corps and at the same time divide the cavalry ranks. A few low walls cover their infantry team to the greatest extent, allowing them to rely on the earthen walls to complete various tactical actions.

Since Luo Hu left Shandong and separated from Li Huayu, he has also been using the tactics of the Nanyue Army to deal with various enemies, and he has also organized his officers to study countless times, intending to find a way to crack the tactics of the Nanyue Army, but it has ended in failure again and again. In any case, Liu Fangliang can't be allowed to fall for this evil! Luo Hu urged the horse up, crossed the crowd, and kept ordering the riders to stop where they were and retreat to their original places!

But how could he change the tremendous inertia of the cavalry on the assault?

"Fire!"

The artillery commander roared angrily, the gun commanders waved the red command flag in their hands fiercely, and the gunners who were standing in their respective positions in the artillery positions pulled the firing rope in their hands, and the flintlock ignited the ******, and pushed the six-pound shells and eight-pound shells that were slammed into the bottom of the barrel with the push rod into the barrel of the gun!

A cannonball with soaring anger went straight to the most conspicuous Liu Fangliang to recognize the flag and pounced!

The huge kinetic energy broke the flag officer in two, and the shock wave knocked Liu Fangliang not far away to the ground. Inertia lifted Liu Fangliang off the horse, rolled on the ground a few times, barely wanted to get up, but felt that his right arm was not strong at all, and after a closer look, his right arm was already hanging weakly, thinking that the bone was broken.

"Uncle Mingyuan! Fast! Evacuate! ”

Luo Hu, who heard the sound, dragged Liu Fangliang onto the war horse found by his own soldiers, "Hurry up!" This is their artillery test fire! Stronger artillery fire is coming! ”

The Battle of Guide marked a rupture in the relationship between the Nanyue Army and the Peasant Army. It also marked the beginning of the Nanyue Army's official entry into the competition field of the Central Plains. (To be continued.) )
