Chapter 18 The Imperial History of 50,000 Soldiers

When Huang Shu and the others took a boat, and even people and horses crossed the river, they could still see one or two riders from a distance, looking out on the river embankment.

Huang Shu crossed the river and immediately went to the Hebei camp, but when he came to the Hebei camp, Huang Shu's heart was half cold. From the outside, this big camp is very magnificent, the flag is unfurled, stretching for several miles, there seem to be tens of thousands of soldiers, but walking in the big camp, each battalion is a virtual tree flag, from time to time there are three or five soldiers walking around, so that the frightened bird does not dare to fall. There were also patrolling soldiers walking back and forth, but the camp was mostly empty.

Huang Shu met with the chief general of the Hebei battalion, that is, the imperial history of Wang Han, who was appointed by Emperor Chongzhen to supervise the army.

"The ovary, in the documents of the Ministry of War, it is not for you to supervise the town soldiers, a total of 59,000 soldiers. Soldiers? Huang Shu said.

The ovary is the word of Wang Han. Huang Shu and Wang Han are also acquaintances.

Wang Han and Huang Shu are both Jinshi of Chongzhen for ten years, but Huang Shu's name is above Wang Han, so Huang Shu awarded Kaifeng Mansion to push the official, and has been doing it until now, but Wang Han first awarded Hanoi Zhixian, in Hanoi Zhixian County, Lianping is a thief, Jian is in the emperor's heart, and was exceptionally promoted by Emperor Chongzhen, so that he can supervise the army with imperial history and serve as the position of the main general. In fact, if Wang Han's qualifications were older, he would probably also be given the title of supervisor.

Wang Han smiled bitterly and said, "The soldiers are all here." ”

"Fifty-nine thousand." Huang Shu said with some excitement: "Fifty-nine thousand people, even if there is a three-fold discount, should there be ten thousand people?" How many people are in your camp now? ”

Wang Han said: "Zhong Lin is angry. I have no more than 3,000 people in my hands now. ”

"And these 3,000 people were recruited by me myself. Selected available people from the Baoding rout, recruited 300 people from Hebei, recruited 300 people from Hanoi County, and wrote a letter to his hometown in Shandong, recruiting all the children of my Wang family, more than 1,000 people who can fight, and the rest are miscellaneous soldiers from all walks of life, just a few of them. As for the 59,000 troops, it is even more of a joke. Hebei is broken, the Tartars have entered the government several times, and the soldiers of the towns have either died in captives or thieves, and all I have to do is the roster of the military department. As for how many more people actually have it, that's all. ”

Wang Han's tone was a little disheartened.

Huang Shu didn't know what to say, he saw that Wang Han had even called his own children, so he knew that Wang Han had done his best. What should I do if it's just a situation in Kaifeng? Huang Shu was stunned for a while, and he didn't want to say anything.

Wang Han made this big camp almost from scratch and bluffed, making the thieves think that there were soldiers on the north bank. It is already the limit of what Wang Han can do.

Wang Han said: "Brother Zhonglin, what is the situation in Kaifeng City? ”

Huang Shu took a deep breath, regained his composure, and told Wang Han all the situations in Kaifeng City. Wang Han breathed a sigh of relief and said

said: "In this way, Kaifeng City can still hold on." ”

"It can be maintained for a while." Huang Shu said: "But after a long time, even if the Kaifeng city wall can be maintained, the hearts of the people in Kaifeng City are not enough to maintain." ”

"Because of the grain."

Wang Han sighed lightly and said, "Yes, grain." ”

Of course, Wang Han knew how big it would be to maintain the food consumption of a city of 400,000 people, and after the great drought in Henan, he lost the replenishment of a season of grain outside the city, and it was not enough. But what could he do? He can't conjure up food, and even if he can conjure up food, he can't send it to Kaifeng City now.

"Anyway, I will rectify the soldiers and horses on the north bank, Your Majesty has ordered all the people and horses to come from, Liu Zeqing Liu General Soldiers invited himself to help, he has 3,000 soldiers under his command, plus all kinds of soldiers and horses, a month later, I will probably be able to gather 10,000 or 20,000 people, if the main force of the thieves is still in Zhuxian Town at that time. I decided to cross the river and join the teacher. ”

"But." Huang Shu said: "A month later, won't the war in Zhuxian Town have not yet come to fruition? ”

Smart people don't have to talk much.

Wang Han already understood Huang Shu's feelings.

Huang Shu fought against Zuo Liangyu, but the result was not optimistic. Wang Han also had deep worries in his heart, but he couldn't leak a trace of it.

There are only these soldiers and horses on the north shore, and Huang Shu has nothing to say to Wang Han. After resting for one night, they crossed the river and returned to the south bank the next day, in order not to be discovered by Xiao Yuanying's people, they made a special detour, but at the same time as they went ashore, not far from the shore, a pile of wolf smoke suddenly ignited.

The wolf smoke rushed straight into the sky, and it was clearly visible for miles away.

Huang Shu's face changed suddenly, and without saying a word, he took more than 100 riders around him and tried his best to gallop south. Because he knew that they had been discovered by Xiao Yuanying.

"I was bitten by me, and I still want to run." Luo Dai snorted coldly.

There was a lack of cavalry generals in the Xiao Yuan camp, and even if there were more horses, it was impossible to organize a powerful cavalry force, so all the cavalry in the Xiao Yuan camp was under the command of Luo Dai. Yuan Shizhong's younger brother Yuan Shimin was his deputy, and he could be regarded as learning how to command the cavalry from Luo Dai.

The scouts of Xiao Yuan's camp reported that more than 100 horsemen had crossed the Yellow River in Kaifeng City, and Luo Dai thought about it.

For Luo Dai, the war under Kaifeng City is about to fade out, and what he does every day is just to suppress the formation. It didn't come in handy at all, and it was easy that there was a big battle to be fought in the south, and he was actually left behind. It made Luo Dai angry, and when he heard this, he immediately laid a net and sent many scouts to ambush Huang Shu's return road, and as soon as Huang Shu came back, Huang Shu was intercepted in one fell swoop.

Although Huang Shu made some detours, he still didn't get rid of his tail, and even Huang Shu could see it.

Behind him, one rocket after another soared into the sky and exploded in the sky.

Huang Shu sent people to drive them away, and they hung from afar. It's back without driving away. It seems to be glued to your hands, and you can't shake it off.

Moreover, there are more and more scouts coming from all directions, and the more they number, the more courageous they are, and the closer they are to Huang Shu's horse team.

"What should I do?" Li Xiliang asked a little breathlessly.

Chen Duzhong said: "There is no other way, only to run fast, and run far enough before the thief brigade comes, otherwise it will be a death." ”

Chen Duzhong is the head of Chen Yongfu's family, he is also Chen Yongfu's own family, and he is a silent person who is almost ignored, but at this time, he suddenly broke out and was the first to give Huang Shu a heavy whip.

Huang Shu's mount was taken aback by this, and immediately rushed forward, and then more than 100 horsemen followed, sparing no horsepower.

If you don't hesitate to do this, I'm afraid that after a long time, the horse will run to death. But now, Chen Duzhong has no other way.

It seems that this method has played a little effect, the scouts on the left and right cherish the horses, and they fall behind, as if to throw them away, Chen Duzhong has not yet breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly saw the smoke and dust in front of him, and a big flag gushing out of the ground.

There was a word on it that said, "Luo." ”

Hundreds of horses galloped out, and Luo Dai rushed to the forefront.

Chen Duzhong's face suddenly turned pale.

People have circles, and many outsiders don't know, but they are well-known in their own circles, such as Luo Dai. Luo Dai and Chen Duzhong are both cavalry generals, so they naturally know Cao Ying, a Luo madman. When I saw him, I knew I couldn't run.

Chen Duzhong slowed down suddenly, and Huang Shu asked, "Chen Dusi, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Duzhong said: "My lord, in front is the Luo madman of Cao Ying, who commands the horse team of Xiao Yuanying. With him, we can't run. Wait a while, and please cherish the fight yourself. ”

Huang Shu already had a premonition about this incident, but when he really heard this, his heart was still very shaken, and he said secretly: "I still have a good life, I haven't made a career yet, how can I die here, no, there must be a way to live, there must be a way to live." ”

The idea of descending a thief came out of Huang Shu's mind and was dispelled in an instant. In his opinion, although Daming is in danger, it can still be maintained, and there is no good end for the thief. Suddenly, another thought popped up in Huang Shu's heart.

He said, "Are you sure they are all cavalry of Xiao Yuan's battalion?" ”

Chen Duzhong said: "Sure, if it was Cao Ying's horse team, we wouldn't have been able to run so far. ”

"Okay." Huang Shu said: "We still have a way to live. ”
