294 Friend or Foe
Li Tianyang gave a hehe to this whimsical chief soldier in his heart.
Hongmen has worked hard for more than ten years to create such an imitation of modern weapons and equipment, how can it be sent with both hands with Deng Xi's words, Li Tianyang is not a fortune boy.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Deng, these guys are all brothers, I eat and beg for food, and without their brothers, I'm a waste!"
Li Tianyang's face collapsed suddenly, and he mocked with a strange expression: "Besides, these bird cannons were bought by the brothers for real money, and the chief soldier wanted to ask for them as soon as he opened his mouth, did you pay for them?" ”
Deng Xi has experienced a lot in officialdom, and he didn't care about Li Tianyang's cynicism at all, but took Li Tianyang's words: "Okay, this official can buy it with money, no matter how much the price is, it's a big deal to ask Lord Shangshu to pay!" ”
"I'm afraid that you can't afford it!"
Li Tianyang dropped a word, turned around and left, throwing the other party's back and making it finally change color.
Li Tianyang is not afraid of Deng Xi, a guy who is also a chief soldier, everyone is of the same rank, and they do not control each other, why should Li Tianyang dump him with a good face!
It's just that he fell out with the other party, but it was also something that Li Tianyang didn't want to do, but the sharp weapons in the hands of the Hongtang army were finally exposed, which caused Deng Xi, who was also a soldier, to covet it, which was also what Li Tianyang could expect, but the only thing that Li Tianyang didn't expect was that Deng Xi was so naked to ask for it, but he was really a guy who didn't know what shame was.
Although the flintlock arquebus was not unique to Hongtang in this era, the ability to improve its technology enough to be used on the battlefield and use it in an organized manner was an important reason why Hongtang now showed great strength and single-handedly defeated the three peasant armies.
And with the field artillery, it can almost be said that the Hongtang army is enough to compete with the invincible Jurchens of the Qing Dynasty in the field battle, which has been confirmed in the previous Korean War.
Although Deng Xi is a little greedy and shameless, but his own skills in the real long fight are unique, how can he not see the strength of the Hongtang army, which is also the reason why he has the cheekiness to ask Li Tianyang.
Because of the fact that the generals of the two armies turned their faces, Li Tianyang had more reason to drag it out, completely ignored Deng Xi and other orders, and stopped a hundred miles away from Nanyang and completely rested.
Deng Xi was furious, and after holding the chicken feather as an arrow to no avail, he turned around and sued Li Tianyang to Xiong Wencan's ear, asking him to uphold justice.
Li Tianyang is not good at it, but he knows that crying children have milk to eat, and before Deng Xi, he preemptively sued Xiong Wencan, exaggerating how Deng Xi made things difficult for himself and forced his seriously damaged army to continue to attack against the main force of more than 100,000 thieves several times, and he looked very wronged.
On the one hand, he is his confidant, and on the other hand, he is a hero who has just made great contributions, lost soldiers and lost generals, even if Xiong Wencan has the heart to help his henchmen, but in this case, he can only stand on the side of the truth.
On the one hand, he severely reprimanded Deng Xi on the surface, but on the other hand, he appeased Li Tianyang, a hero, and encouraged him a lot.
However, because of Deng Xi's trouble, in the end, these sharp firearms in Li Tianyang's army had no worries for the time being, Deng Xi praised the firearms he had, and begged Xiong Wencan to intercept the weapons under Li Tianyang's command, but Deng Xi showed his thoughts in advance in a hurry, but it also made Xiong Wencan no longer have a good time to start, and told Li Tianyang about it.
Then waiting for the battle, it didn't have much to do with Li Tianyang and them, Deng Xi's 30,000 Chinese troops finally appeared on the battlefield for the first time, and slowly approached Nanyang, where Li Zicheng was located.
In secret, Li Tianyang sent someone to contact He Sanjiang and Bai Yushan, and quietly informed the other party of all the information of Deng Xi's department, and stabbed him behind his back.
Li Tianyang is not a good man and a woman, although he knows that his exposure of powerful arms will inevitably cause others to covet and peep, but this does not prevent Li Tianyang from wanting to find trouble with Deng Xi.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Deng Xi's army finally arrived twenty miles outside the outskirts of Nanyang and entered the sphere of influence of Li Zicheng's department.
In the face of Deng Xi's army pressing, the soldiers of Li's self-formed department began to act one after another.
The yamen of the prefect of Nanyang Mansion has been occupied by Li Zicheng and his group at this time, and a group of biao-shaped men are sitting in the lobby of the mansion, quietly listening to the arrangement of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang.
Li Zicheng, who is heroic and heroic, is surrounded by two strong men who are languished with wounded cloths on their bodies, but Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu, who lost the battle some time ago and were injured on the battlefield, and Gao Yigong, who was not injured but also had a decadent face.
Although he was defeated and lost countless soldiers, in the peasant army with the identity of pro-Shuding, Liu Zongmin and others were still Li Zicheng's most trusted henchmen, and even He Sanjiang and others were inferior.
"Everyone, the enemy general Deng Xi has come to the city, how do you think you should deal with it?" Li Zicheng seemed to be very good at admonishment, and asked the group of generals below.
"King, do you need to say this, let's fuck it directly, we have an army of more than 100,000 people, can't we still clean up the Ming army of tens of thousands of people?"
Generals with mud legs, even if they have thousands of soldiers under them now, they still can't change their lack of knowledge, and some people recklessly give such a way that is not at all a solution.
Li Zicheng is also very calm, like this kind of reckless man, there are not one or two in his team, let them charge into battle It is a good hand, but if they are allowed to make suggestions, there is no need to guess that Li Zicheng can think of the method they came up with.
Li Zicheng waved his hand and suppressed this proposer who had many supporters, and then turned his head to look at He Sanjiang and Peng Zhihai, generals who were well-trained and knew how to strategize: "Old He, what do you think?" ”
"King, in fact, what General Duan said, it is also a suitable strategy, the so-called Yang conspiracy is like this, we now have an absolute numerical advantage, and the main force of the Ming army is dealing with General Zhang in Sichuan, and there is no opponent who threatens us in Luoyang and Henan for the time being, so why should we avoid its edge and use what strategy?"
He Sanjiang replied confidently, and at the same time, he also received the support of Bai Yushan and other generals.
"This ...... Is it appropriate? ”
Li Zicheng has experienced too many failures, and he has more or less shadows in his heart for the Ming Dynasty army, so he can't help but hesitate to ask.
"The king can rest assured, his subordinates dare to make a military order, as long as he and my 50,000 soldiers, he will be able to take down the good head of the thief general Deng Xi!!"
He Sanjiang stood up and knelt down on one knee to ask Li Zicheng for his life.
"The last general is also willing to fight with the Deng thief!!"
Bai Yushan, Peng Zhihai and others stood up one after another and asked Li Zicheng for his life.
