The young man had not been a thief for a long time, and he had never killed anyone, nor did he dare to kill anyone, but he saw his companions killing people and setting fire to animals.

At this time, I looked at the displaced people around me and found that their eyes were full of banter and ill intentions.

"Mother!" The rogue thief, whose legs were weakened, suddenly mustered up the courage to scream and run, and in a short time outperformed most of the old thieves......

"Rabbit cub, if you slip away so fast, you are not afraid of being directly cut off by the old battalion supervision team." The old thief is naturally a thief, and he refuses to run in the front when he charges, and he also does not make a head bird when he is defeated.

Originally, the battle was fought well, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others thought that they had made enough preparations, and this time they should be able to attack the city, but who knew that a rumbling cannon and a crackling sound broke their illusions.

The next thing was simply defeated, and I saw the minions rushing back like a tide, and they hated their parents for giving birth to two legs.

Zhang Xianzhong saw the hundreds of red flags that suddenly appeared at the head of Caozhou City, and was stunned, and said: "When will Caozhou have a 'Red Flag Army' garrison?" Isn't it a bluff? ”

Luo Rucai had a clairglass captured from the general of the Ming army in his hand, and he had already seen more than a dozen Fran machine guns, and said: "Eight kings, we are fooled, there are definitely 'Red Banner Army' soldiers stationed in Caozhou City, and the number will not be small, no wonder the Ming army has no fear." ”

Zhang Xianzhong shouted: "How can this battle be fought? The sons and daughters under his command were afraid of the 'Red Devil' like a tiger, and they were frightened before many people died, and they ran back one by one with all their strength. ”

Luo Rucai said: "Eight kings, are you stupid? Still thinking about fighting? Hurry up, since the 'Red Flag Army' in Caozhou City has been luring us to organize a siege for six days, there must be a conspiracy among them, maybe the men and horses who besiege and annihilate us are already nearby. ”

Zhang Xianzhong suddenly realized and said: "That's true, you can't stay here for a long time, hurry up!" ”

More than ninety percent of Guide Mansion in Henan Province and Yanzhou in Shandong Province are large plains, and it is not easy for Gu Rushan, Lei Mingchun and others to lead 15,000 regular soldiers to hide, so they hide in a relatively remote clan armed village and wait for the opportunity.

Because there were only 2,500 cavalry, the assault force was limited, Gu Rushan and Lin Shunwen and Huang Xinsheng decided to hand over all the cavalry to Lei Mingchun after discussion, and he and Lin Shunwen and other generals led the infantry.

Of the five main barracks of the Central Plains Front Army, only Gu Rushan is a type A battalion, and he, the main general, is of course more valuable than Lei Mingchun and Lin Shunwen, the four class B battalion commanders, and is naturally the chief decision-maker of the five-man regiment.

In order to ensure that the people and horses laid out in the interior were not used by the imperial court, the first consideration of the Huang Han when sending generals was loyalty.

The four main generals of the Central Plains Front Army formed were all from the disciples of the guard, and one of the main generals of the B battalion was the first batch of adopted war orphan Huang Xinsheng.

They not only love the collective of the "Red Flag Army", but also obey the orders of the head of the family, Huang Han, and they are eager to excel in the fierce competition for military merits.

Huang Han has taught by word and deed over the years, Gu Rushan, Lei Mingchun, etc., all know that they must treat their subordinates well, and they must do their best to win the greatest victory with the least casualties.

Therefore, they were not reckless, they arranged carefully, and the reason why they waited for six days without attacking was that the Liukou attack on Caozhou City was frustrated, demoralized, and casualties.

The second reason is that the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry appeared in Gaochengzhuang, less than 200 miles from Caozhou, and it is possible that they ordered the enemy to be attacked and besieged by Caozhou Liukou during the surprise attack.

Henan has been in trouble for many years, and it is difficult for a family to survive in the troubled times without forming a village, so there are many Zhuangzi with deep ditches and walls on the land of the Central Plains, and these Zhuangzi still have the ability to deal with the attacks of hundreds and thousands of rogues.

If there are tens of thousands of Manchurian cavalry who use cavalry to suppress the young men who guard Zhuangzi and throw rolling wood and stones, Zhuangzi, villages, villages and towns will not be able to avoid the fate of being plundered.

In order to increase the efficiency of robbery, the Qing army and the Liukou Zuoliangyu Department basically adopted 10,000 Liukou and 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to attack the clan's armed stockade and rob grain, livestock, gold and silver treasures.

It has been a month since they entered Henan, and the Qing army, which had advanced in parallel to increase the area of robbery, broke through hundreds of villages and towns, cottages, and Zhuangzi, and collected a large amount of food and property.

Ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and wheelbarrows were not only loaded with grain, but also stocked horses and even pigs and sheep that had been killed.

With food, you don't have to worry about starving, and seeing that the collected food can support the army for two or three months, Fan Wencheng, Azig, and Zilharang already think that the trip is worthwhile.

When they retreated, they could also kill the ploughing oxen, mules, and donkeys that had no food to transport, and abandon the Han people who had captured and drove carts.

At the time of leaving the customs, as long as you ensure that one rider has two pack horses, full of food and horse materials, and the supplies for detouring to Mobei to go home, it is enough.

At that time, it was the melting of ice and snow, and the war horses and horses could eat tender grass, and there were a few catties of concentrate every day to replenish, as long as the two horses could be transferred and the army did not travel more than 300 miles a day, it was completely possible to maintain horsepower.

Jiannu and Tatar had long been thinking about returning home safely after completing the tasks assigned by Chongde, where could they fall into the Central Plains battlefield, and it was even more impossible to take the initiative to find the "Red Banner Army" to fight viciously.

Lei Mingchun personally led the scout team to closely monitor the movements of several rogues and the Qing army, and he was selected by Huang Han as his personal guard as early as eight years ago because of his outstanding riding skills.

In recent years, due to Huang Yi and Huang Ang's ruthless and stick education, he barely met the cultural test and was officially included in the ranks of officers.

His strength was not weaker than that of Jiannu Bayala, and now he has two Arabian warhorses of the best of the best, wearing tailor-made all-steel cuirasses, winding soft armor and cotton armor, and Jiannu's riding bow is difficult to penetrate even if he shoots directly at thirty paces.

As early as five years ago, he had trained hard to shoot the gun, and now the shooting level of the short gun and the long gun has reached the level of accuracy, especially the shooting of the short gun that is quickly drawn on the horse is as skilled as the water of his peers.

Normally, the hot weapon cavalry will be used for two short guns, Lei Mingchun is different, he always likes to carry four, so if a fierce man like him encounters three Jiannu of the Gebush Xianchao Ha battalion, he may be victorious.

Lei Mingchun, who led everyone to investigate, was so fierce, and the selected more than 300 scouts were even more unwilling, they often followed the Qing army, and there were many encounters, with casualties among each other, and the "Red Banner Army" scouts had obvious advantages.

It is possible that the Qing army gradually moved away from the Yellow River because it was discovered that it was targeted by a cavalry suspected of being "Red Banner Army".
