Chapter 679: Anti-Water
The sentry horse cavalry team shoulders the safety of this army, and has a great responsibility, Zhou Yuji and Hu Dawei are fully responsible, if the army makes a mistake, the first thing the prison army does is to cut off the heads of the two.
How did Hu Dawei and Zhou Yuji, who accepted the mission of the visit, not understand that this was a few adults trusting them, they personally led the men and horses to investigate carefully, and took the lead in the scout encounter, killing more than 130 Tartars and Jiannu for this way.
This is entirely because the selected 2,000 cavalry are the elites of the more than 40,000 Ming troops, and because Zhou Yuji and Hu Dawei are rare fierce generals who are skilled in bows and horses, and because the Ming army has a numerical advantage to be prepared and unprepared.
The reason why they can be prepared and unprepared is because the soldiers of the Beijing camp are well equipped, and the senior officials above the hundred general are distributed with clairvoyants produced by Tiger's Den City.
With the relationship between Founder and Huang Han, he asked for a clairvoyant mirror, even if he didn't give money, he could get it, Founder had a clear distinction between public and private, and he refused to abolish the public because of his private affairs and at the same time refused to damage his private interests because of his official duties, and he went to Tiger's Den City to purchase equipment and paid according to the price.
Therefore, the defense and equipment of the selected men and horses of the Beijing camp are close to the "Red Banner Army", except that there are no Mini guns.
It's a pity that the equipment and weapons of the "Red Banner Army" are too expensive, and they can't afford to give their old friends seven folds to the square, and the scale of only 5,000 people is similar to that of the "Red Banner Army", which also has twenty one-pound furlong cannons.
At this time, in order to ensure that the Jingying men and horses were brought back to Beijing safely as promised to the emperor, Fang Zhenghua must first ensure that there is no fault, and only on the basis of the safety of the army can he consider killing the enemy.
He concentrated the clairvoyant mirror equipment sentry horse team, and basically achieved that each general flag has two, and with this reconnaissance killer effect, Zhou Yuji and Hu Dawei are like tigers.
Although Zhou Yuji and Hu Dawei led the people to investigate and get more than 100 levels, Liu Zhilun and Fang Zhenghua were very unhappy, and their faces were full of sadness these days.
It's not because Liu Zhilun and Fang Zhenghua are pessimistic about the battle situation, but because the stupid Lu Xiangsheng has brought a big trouble.
Jiannu has retreated from Henan, but Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, refused to return to Nanyang, chased and shouted to fight Jiannu, and chased until Luoyang City entangled Lu Xiangsheng, the squire of the military department and the general system of the five provinces.
Lu Xiangsheng lived a simple life and didn't know how to refuse, and when he saw that the prince of the Zhu family took the initiative to worry about the country, he praised it a lot, but as a result, King Tang followed him to Huaiqing Mansion, and wanted to follow him into Shanxi to fight a big battle with Jiannu.
During this period of time, Tang Wang, who was like a caged bird, lived a full and happy life, he followed Lu Xiangsheng's example and shared weal and woe with the grassroots soldiers, scooping food in a pot, not only won the favor of the soldiers, but also moved Lu Xiangsheng.
When the relatively simple Lu Xiangsheng raised troops to cross the Yellow River, he found that the Tang King had led his men and horses to follow and did not dissuade him at all.
Lu Xiangsheng has been chatting speculatively with King Tang, but he doesn't know that too many civil and military generals have seen all this in their eyes, and the root cause has been buried.
When Fang Zhenghua and Liu Zhilun saw the Queen of Tang, how dare they slack off, and when they warmly received the superficial article, they immediately wrote a note to expedite it with 600 miles to the Beijing Division, and the content was to ask the emperor whether to detain the Tang King?
Chongzhen learned that the king of Tang actually continued to march to Shanxi with men and horses, he was angry and funny, at this time Jiannu had not been repulsed, and it was not time to settle accounts after the autumn, he gave Fang Zhenghua a secret decree, and issued a holy decree to agree that Tang Wang would go to Shanxi to kill the enemy.
At this time, many imperial histories and things were also served, and Chongzhen learned that Lu Xiangsheng and Tang Wang had a very close relationship during this time, leaving a shadow in his heart.
The emperor also found that most of the civil officials and military generals in Henan had spoken about the Tang Dynasty, but Lu Xiangsheng did not see a single word.
A high-powered, high-ranking feudal official with a heavy army is not clear with the prince of Zhu Ming, and his heart can be punished! Lu Xiangsheng is in the heart of the emperor, but it's a pity that it's not a good thing!
The content of the secret decree received by Fang Zhenghua was very simple, closely monitor Tang Wang's every move, and if he found any abnormalities, he was arrested and sent to the Zongren Mansion for review.
The Tang King, who is not willing to be lonely, has been staying in Nanyang Mansion City for a long time, this time he went out like a bird being released, he actually had no intention of challenging the throne at all, the motive for sending troops was really pure, just thinking about killing the enemy for the country!
In the Ming Dynasty, the prince who didn't want to be raised as a pig was not a good prince, and thinking about doing something for the country was punishable!
Qi Wei Shi Kunshan was reused by the Tang King and wanted to assist the Tang King in making meritorious contributions, and soon after, he contacted Zhao Shisan, the boss of the Shanxi Military Intelligence Department.
The "Red Banner Army," which was concentrated in Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and other regions, was in full swing with the Qing army and horses, which were in full swing and were in full swing with the Qing army, which was marching slowly with the captured population, livestock, and materials.
The Qing army's attack on Henan led to the loss of the Ming Dynasty, how could the "Red Flag Army" in the interior be willing to be a spectator?
Under the initiative of Gu Rushan and with the active support of Zhao Kun, the "Red Banner Army" in the interior began to assemble in Ruzhou more than a month ago.
I don't know how long the Qing army will fight in Henan, but Zhao Kun knows that the main job of the "Red Flag Army" in the interior is to protect the territory and the people, and it must keep enough to deal with the army and the people of the rogue army, and the number of people that can be assembled cannot exceed 30%.
In the "Red Banner Army", Zhao Kun held the highest position, he was the person in charge of the Yangtze River defense line, although he was also a battalion officer, but in wartime he could control other inland "Red Banner Army" battalion commanders.
Zhao Kun led a general cavalry, four general infantry, a thousand general auxiliaries, and two hundred general artillery to carry twenty one-pound furlong machine guns to Ruzhou.
Gu Rushan, who received the order to assemble, led a thousand general cavalry, two general infantry, one hundred general artillery, and one thousand general auxiliary soldiers on the road.
Gu Zhun and Pei Yuanwu of Kuizhou Mansion and Anqing Mansion also actively asked for battle, and only one cavalry general subordinate to Pei Yuanwu among the men and horses they led, and also brought two thousand infantry and two thousand general village warriors, and also carried forty small cannons of the Fu Long machine.
When the men and horses assembled in Ruzhou, it was already mid-November, and after the Qing army's plan to besiege Luoyang failed, they easily captured the city of Ruzhou, which was less than 200 miles away from Luoyang, and at this time they had already looted the population, supplies, and livestock and gave up.
The Qing army ransacked the Ming Dynasty to imitate the Liukou, and refused to leave the soldiers and horses to guard the city taken, in fact, the Liukou was the worst, not only set fire to the city, but also deliberately drove the hungry people who were coerced to demolish the city, called - shovel the city.
The Qing soldiers were more disciplined than the Liukou, and the Chongde Emperor not only refused to allow his subordinates to kill for no reason, but also refused to set fire to the city, and deliberately demolished the city for such a time-consuming and laborious thing as disdainful to do.
Zhao Kun, who rushed to Ruzhou first, picked up a big bargain, and got a city that could be defended without firing a shot, and finally felt at ease.
