As the name suggests, the chief officer of the regimental training is just the leader of the militia group, and the food and salary under his command are provided by the locality, and the number of men and horses depends on the financial resources of the locality, and it is really rare for people and horses to have combat effectiveness.

However, if regimental training is in the hands of the "Red Banner Army," and a number of military attachés at the grass-roots level are equipped and appointed, it is possible that a regular barracks of the "Red Banner Army" of Type B will be born within a year and a half.

If the current strength of Tongguan is used, with the cooperation of the flag guards, even if the Liukou and Jiannu join forces to attack, the only way to break through the pass is to consume the grain in Tongguan and the possibility of forcibly attacking and breaking the city is basically ruled out.

Moreover, the longer Tongguan is under attack, the more difficult it will be for the enemy to attack, of course, the "Red Banner Army" has developed, and it is not certain who will fight who in the end!

In Sichuan, Gao Yingxiang, who did not fight with the "Red Banner Army" and the white pole soldiers, retreated calmly, they were also afraid of being often hungry, and eating people was a last resort, they actually did not want to, and they also wanted to be able to eat enough grains.

Ransacking a small and half rich place in Sichuan, they not only got a huge amount of gold and silver treasures, but also obtained more than two million stones of grain, and having food in hand meant that they could take more Qin people into the army.

There are too many minions and coerced homeless people who have made several trips back and forth to the north, carrying large animals and wheelbarrows full of grain.

Liukou is so not afraid of trouble, just thinking about bringing back more of the results of the looting of Sichuan back to Shaanxi.

Gao Yingxiang, Ma Shouying, Li Zicheng, Yao Tiandong and others formed 50,000 elite horses mainly from the old camp horse team, and they set up an ambush in a place called Mawangmiao under Dabao Mountain, thirty miles south of Jiangyou County.

The old thieves were not in vain, they learned to fight in the constant war, and they knew that in order to ensure that the looted food and supplies were transported to Shaanxi, they had to give the pursuing Ming army a hard blow.

They believed that 50,000 elites had been concentrated in an ambush, and in the case of waiting for work, even if the white pole soldiers chased them, they would have to lose their troops.

But left and right, the rogues waited for half a month without movement, and the horses came back to report that the Ming army had not yet arrived in Mianyang, and God knows when they entered the ambush circle.

Unexpectedly, the white pole soldiers who had been marching forward actually sat and watched the rogue who plundered Chengdu Mansion retreat calmly, Gao Yingxiang and others didn't know what was going on, and they thought that they were so powerful that even the white pole soldiers admitted it.

With enough time, the Liukou really transported most of the looted grain, and it is foreseeable that if they can keep this food from being taken away by the Ming army, they will not have to worry about starvation for a long time.

At the end of November, when Liukou came to Hanzhong again, it was completely different, Hong Chengchou's main force had already been drawn, and now stationed in Xi'an and Xianyang to confront the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.

Its practical confrontation is not very accurate, it should be relying on the two big cities to hold on, expecting Jiannu to rob for a few days as before and then retreat.

The Manchu and Mongolian cavalry did not attack the city, of course, they still adopted the usual trick of picking soft persimmons, and they had to break through the stockades of some clan armies without interruption in search of food, otherwise they would also face the risk of starvation.

Hanzhong City has taken a sharp turn since it was abandoned by the "Red Banner Army", and too many soldiers and civilians and officials followed the evacuated Sifang Qianzhuang guards and Quartet Express Dart Divisions on a long migration road.

Next, it was discovered that the main force of the Ming army led by Hong Chengchou had withdrawn, and the residents of Hanzhong City, who had a little insight, felt that the limit was approaching, and there were many people who fled with their families.

There is a Rui king Zhu Changhao in Hanzhong City, who is dedicated to the Buddha and does not ask about the world.

Of course, Hong Chengchou would not put the vassal king in danger, and when he withdrew the army, he specially arranged for 3,000 Ming troops to move for King Rui.

The reason is very good, take King Rui to live in the palace of King Qin in Xi'an City temporarily, and wait for the situation in Shaanxi to stabilize before making plans.

It is the ancestral system that the vassal king cannot leave the fief for no reason, but there is Hong Chengchou, a member of the imperial court, who is on the court, and the court temporarily evacuates Hanzhong in order to ensure the safety of King Rui, and Chongzhen is of course allowed to play.

When Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Ma Shouying and others surrounded Hanzhong City again and prepared to storm it, they found that the four gates were wide open, and the few remaining troops in the city fled.

In fact, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others are more cruel than Zhang Xianzhong.

They didn't even kill Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, Zhu Changfa, the king of Guiyang, and so on, and captured a few Ming princes from Xiangyang City.

The Liukou now have money and food, not extremely vicious, after getting the full beard and tail of Hanzhong City, they actually did not kill people and set fires, and even recruited young adults to eat food in their ranks as soldiers.

The vast majority of people who stayed in Hanzhong and hid in the mountains were destitute people who had nothing in the first place, so they didn't have to worry about losing anything.

Why is there the idiom "extremely vicious"? Poverty represents extremes, and it is also a reminder to those in power not to polarize too much, leading to the transformation of poor thinking into extreme evil.

The poor people of Hanzhong did not care about right and wrong, and more than 20,000 young and middle-aged people took up arms to join the army of killing officials and rebelling.

After staying in Hanzhong City for three days, he did not find a large number of Ming troops to attack, but he found that too many people and horses who were scattered in the mountains and forests by Hong Chengchou rushed to converge.

These horses were also hungry, and after finding the main force and eating to their fill, they were willing to accept the reorganization of Generalissimo Gao Yingxiang.

Soon Gao Yingxiang knew that this period of time was smooth, and he completely took advantage of Jiannu's entry into Kou Daming, and now the main force of the Ming army in Shaanxi went to hold the defense line of Xi'an and Xianyang.

Gao Yingxiang stayed in the Ruiwang Mansion and discussed important matters with the leaders in the council hall.

Fengtian advocated the two deputy marshals and eighteen generals of the self-proclaimed two deputy marshals and eighteen generals of the generalissimo Gao Yingxiang, and now only the deputy marshal Zhang Xianzhong and the seven generals are not there, and the rest are on his way.

Gao Yingxiang opened his mouth and said: "Recruiting the brothers this time is a big matter to discuss the big thing of Jiannu to Shaanxi.

As we all know, the last time our team encountered Jiannu, no one beat us to death.

Our idea is very simple, the old master of Jiannu's dead ball, Nurhachi, was originally a military general of the Ming Dynasty, and later established himself as a king and became a Ming thief, and Jiannu's enemy was the Ming Dynasty.

The purpose of our rebellion is also to establish ourselves as kings and rebels, and we are also anti-thieves, which is actually no different from Jiannu, so Jiannu did not regard us as enemies. ”

Li Zicheng said: "The generalissimo is reasonable, we and Jiannu are both anti-Ming people, and one is in the east and the other is in the west, and there is no hatred between each other."

Jiannu and us only encountered occasionally, and they didn't kill us in fact, but they released goodwill.

Let's also know what is good in the future, and find that the army of Jiannu is walking around, don't conflict with them and consume strength in vain. ”
