Chapter 1: The Battle of the Oolong
The weather with the north wind blowing, but also become colder, the cold current brought by the Xiaoice River period is far greater than the impact on the Shaanxi area before or later, the cold wave will come earlier than before, just in October, the night temperature will reach the freezing point, the green of the earth also began to scorch and fade, and after entering the end of October, the temperature is even lower to the point of almost dripping into ice, and the earth can no longer see a trace of green.
And in the mountains in the south of Yichuan County, a gray team slowly marched in the winding mountain road, and in a blink of an eye, nearly two months passed, and the Xingtian Army went all the way to Shaanxi, with Xiao Tianjian's orders, constantly changing directions, and slowly moving towards the northeast of Shaanxi.
Along the way, in addition to constantly sending scout teams to investigate the news ahead, Xiao Tianjian also ordered Fu Deming to be responsible for collecting all kinds of news about the government, the imperial court and various rebels from the displaced people he met along the way, and according to the collected news, he constantly changed the direction of the march, and always avoided encountering a large number of officers and rebels.
But this does not mean that they can completely avoid all the officers and soldiers or the rebels, and when they pass through the area of Yanzhou at the end of September, they still encounter the rebels all the way.
On the way to the east, Xiao Tianjian led his troops to move eastward, in order to be safe, in addition to sending scouts to explore the way, he would also arrange two sentinels to open the way in front each time, and this time when he met the rebels in Dunzhou, it happened that Feng Gouzi and Li Xuanzhu led the troops to open the way, and what they didn't expect was that as soon as the other party's rebels saw them, they didn't care about their identities at all, and immediately relied on the strength of the crowd, so they surrounded them, obviously seeing that the soldiers and horses under the command of Feng and Li were better equipped, and wanted to bully them with more and rob them with less.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Feng and Li immediately sent someone to report Xiao Tianjian who was following behind, and at the same time lined up to meet the enemy on the spot, and fought with these immoral people.
The mutant army of about 2,000 people on this road did not raise the banner, nor did they report their names, and as soon as they saw Feng and Li, they started directly, so let this battle be unclear, Xiao Tianjian heard the news later, and immediately led Yan Chongxi and Feng Gouzi's two sentinels to the front battlefield.
When he arrived at the battlefield, there was a fierce battle here, and more than 2,000 mutant troops who couldn't tell the way were surrounding the two sentinels of Feng and Li and shouting what the earth-shattering siege was.
Xiao Tianjian was furious when he saw this, and immediately led his troops to rush over, and when the soldiers under the command of the well-trained Feng and Li faced the two thousand rebels who did not know the way to come, they did not fall behind, but formed a circle formation, and confronted it, and put down nearly a hundred enemy generals in one face, which shocked the other party a little timid, and did not dare to be so arrogant anymore, and then Xiao Tianjian led the army to rush from behind again, and more than 2,000 people were like being hammered, and the stars scattered.
And Yan Chongxi and Zhao Erdonkey saw the enemy dispersed, and met Feng and Li together, so that they could cover up and kill, and killed hundreds of people at once, and captured hundreds of people, and later collected troops to clean up the battlefield under Xiao Tianjian's order, after some interrogation, Xiao Tianjian knew the way to change the people's army, it turned out that this road of righteous army was actually Cao Cao Luo Rucai's generals, and Luo Rucai since entering Shaanxi, did not and Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers, marched to the northwest, but led an army to bypass Xi'an Mansion and plunder the area of Yan'an Mansion, At this time, it was active in the area north of Yanzhou.
And this and the Xingtian Army encountered and clashed with his general Wang Long, who was looting in the area of Dunzhou, just met the forward soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army, Wang Lung took a fancy to the equipment of Feng and Li's generals, and planned to swallow Feng and Li's men and horses, but unfortunately, they kicked on the iron plate, and did not take advantage of it, but were beaten by the Xingtian Army, Wang Lung saw that the situation was not good, and even if he fled with a small number of remnants.
This battle made Xiao Tianjian a little crying and laughing, originally they were all people who rebelled against the court, although they did not intersect, but at least they were the same kind, and Luo Rucai's subordinate Wang Lung actually wanted to eat black and swallow a part of the Xingtianjun, but you always have to ask for your identity, and see if you can gnaw and gnaw before you talk! It's good now, the result is that he bites it down, not only did he not bite off a piece of the Xingtian Army's meat, but he broke his big teeth, needless to say, this time he Xingtian Army must have a grudge with Luo Rucai first!
Xiao Tianjian couldn't cry and laughed and let people take the prisoner down, sat on a stone and thought about this battle with a wry smile, even he didn't know how to evaluate this battle, and he himself was a little strange, I don't know if he was born with a hard life, or how, it seems that he was born with all kinds of rebels, and he can't stay with anyone, there will be contradictions when they meet, and Gao Yingxiang Li Zicheng has not torn their faces yet, and this time when they met Luo Rucai, they simply didn't say anything, they cut each other directly with a knife, and killed hundreds of his subordinates, Hundreds of people were captured, and all this is going on and where!
But he also fought, killed and killed, and he couldn't let him run to Luo Rucai to compensate for it at this time! So after thinking about it for a while, he immediately ordered to pack up and continue to hurry, bypassing the area of Yanzhou as soon as possible, so as to avoid another encounter with Luo Rucai's soldiers and horses, and another inexplicable fight in the province.
As for these hundreds of captives, he took a look, and there were only a small number of young and strong among them, and most of them were old and weak soldiers (if they run slowly, they are naturally not strong!). If you are strong and strong, your legs will have slipped away a long time ago! ), did not meet his requirements for recruiting troops at all, and he didn't bother to contain them, so he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to let these people go, only a few dozen young men who met his requirements were included in the Xingtian Army, anyway, most of these people are homeless people who Luo Rucai has just recruited in the past few months, not to mention any loyalty, these dozens of young men see that the Xingtian Army is so fierce, and they also have a heart of attachment, but they will not insist on leaving to find Luo Rucai!
After cleaning up the battlefield, Xiao Tianjian was pleasantly surprised to find that this battle was not just as simple as a complete victory, Luo Rucai's men looted all the way and grabbed a lot of money and food, because of the Xingtian Army's cover-up, they were thrown away cleanly, so that the Xingtian Army, which had already begun to be short of materials, unexpectedly obtained a large number of material supplements, and the food alone was enough for them to eat for another ten days and half a month, and they didn't have to attack the forts along the way in a short time, so that they no longer had to worry about the lack of food.
'Thanks to the Virgin Mary, Luo Rucai's subordinates will really send charcoal in the snow! It seems that this feud is big this time! Looking at the seized money and food, Xiao Tianjian secretly exclaimed in his heart.
However, the morale of the Xingtian army was greatly boosted by this, and they all regained their spirits, and along the way they resumed singing and laughing, so that their morale, which had been a little depressed at the beginning, was lifted again, and they carried this newly obtained large amount of grain and baggage, and accelerated their speed to cross Yanzhou, and marched towards the east.
What Xiao Tianjian didn't know was that he had just led his army south to Luochuan across Dunzhou, and when he learned that his subordinates had suffered a big loss, Luo Rucai, who had suffered a big loss, led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the area of Dunzhou, but he missed the Xingtian Army and failed to collide with the Xingtian Army, which also made the two sides not have any more conflicts.
But Luo Rucai still remembered the name of the Xingtian Army, and after inquiring, he actually learned that the Xingtian Army that beat his subordinates all over the ground was actually a righteous army that had just risen in Shaanxi recently, and a month ago, he was still in Longzhou with Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng to attack Longzhou City, but he suddenly appeared in the area of Yanzhou and had a solid fight with his subordinates.
After taking stock of the losses, Luo Ru completely remembered the name of the Xingtian Army, and the feud was settled, but for a while he didn't know where the Xingtian Army went, and led the army to chase all the way to Luochuan, and then completely lost the trace of the Xingtian Army, so he had to lead his troops back and attack the area of Yan'an Mansion again.
