At this time, the rogue team was even more unbearable than the bandit team thirteen years after Chongzhen, they had not yet formed a political program, and they belonged to the nature of a blind riot.

It's not even mob politics, it's just a nest of bandits who make money day by day!

The phenomenon of bullying the weak and bullying the small by the big is particularly prominent in the gang, and the big bosses are of course the first to enjoy the materials, food, gold and silver treasures, and even the beautiful women.

Good horses must belong to the big and small leaders, but these people have been wandering for a long time, and the war horses are of course not well cared for.

The war horses of the Liukou and the "Red Banner Army" are managed in accordance with the regulations, and the results of the race of the war horses carefully bred according to the nutritional formula can be imagined.

Zhang Yang and dozens of knights gradually outperformed most of the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army", these people were all non-commissioned officers without exception, including more than a dozen warriors.

Dozens of non-commissioned officers followed the main general Zhang Yang all the way to chase after them, and they had no idea how many horse thieves they had killed.

It was also impossible to tell whether the leader of the rogue had been killed, and it was not until there was no longer a single man on horseback in front of him that he returned to his horse and continued to pick up the slack.

By this time, the cavalry musketeers were largely out of the slaughter, gathering their horses, gathering the bodies of the slain horse thieves, and mending the sabers to those who were not dead or pretending to be dead.

In fact, when they turned around and killed again, it was not easy for them to find the target of their attack, and there were people kneeling and begging for mercy everywhere, all of them were covered in mud and dirty, and they couldn't tell who was an old bandit.

As a result, only a small number of rogues wearing armor were unlucky, and their hands that were clearly kneeling and raising their empty hands were also cut off, which did not cause panic among the homeless people who knelt on the ground and begged to surrender.

On the contrary, many of the homeless people actually cheered and shouted, "Good kill!" Dog thief, you also have today! ”

There were also homeless people who pointed to a few people who were kneeling on the side and couldn't put their heads in the crotch of their pants and said loudly: "Master of the official army, those are also thieves, they have killed an unknown number of people and harmed many women from good families. ”

Suddenly, a few rogues who had already knelt on the ground and surrendered were like frightened rabbits, jumping up and running around, and many of the homeless people who had been emboldened by the Ming army pounced on them, and in an instant screamed again and again, and soon several thieves were beaten by the vengeful homeless people and regretted coming to the world.

Huang Han led four warriors to symbolically rush along the official road for a while, and he couldn't arouse his interest at all.

Because more than ninety percent of the thieves are Han Chinese, no matter how much they kill, it doesn't mean anything.

The four warriors are not very active, the military merits that can be obtained by killing the rogues are too limited, they already have the rank of warriors, and there is basically no room for promotion, and they can't get a few taels of silver if they get some heads.

Originally, Huang Han should have ten guards around him, and the third brother Huang Yi did not accompany the army because he was going to Yongping Mansion to participate in the government test, and Yang Xiaohammer and Gu Jixiang would not take them to the battlefield if they were not fifteen years old.

Wang Yao, Shen Youluo, and Lin Shunwen have not been riding horses for a long time, and their riding skills need to be improved, and there may be accidents when they gallop, so the five young guards all stayed by Qin Yanyi's side to listen.

Huang Han strictly ordered his subordinates not to kill indiscriminately when fighting the civil war, and was unwilling to let the "Red Banner Army" kill many Han people for the sake of head.

Moreover, the officers and men of the "Red Banner Army" all know the actual situation, and the military merit reward given by the imperial court should be five taels of silver for the head of a rogue, but the phenomenon of ripping is too serious.

Nor is this entirely to blame the officials who verify military merit.

First, because there are so many rogues, the imperial court can't afford to give too many head rewards.

The second is because the rogues and the homeless people can't be distinguished, and the black-hearted Ming army deliberately kills good and risky merits, so it is really not easy to count the next level of capture.

When leaving the capital, Huang Han announced the standard of nuclear merit, horse thieves, thieves with armor and weapons can be counted, and the rest are mainly captured.

Gu Kui knew his virtues, and he was worried that he would not be able to control his hands at all, and he would fall into the notoriety of indiscriminate killing, so he simply guarded the head of the family honestly.

Of course, cavalry generals such as Zhang Yang, Yuan Siming, Sang Yu, and Lu Kaijun could not only care about their own killing, regardless of the safety of their family owners.

They each drew the cavalry of the young musketeers and formed a general banner and gave it to the four warriors for temporary command.

The purpose is naturally to increase the number of guards around the head of the family, and it is also an opportunity for these literate young cavalrymen to be trained by the head of the family himself.

The camp of the two thieves was in a village called Xiaohouzhuang, five miles southwest of Houjiazhuang, and at this time the minions were scattered in a hurry, and when Huang Han came here, he found that some ragged people were probing their brains.

There were many unkempt and uncovered women weeping in the camp, and it was clear that these women were the trophies of the rogues, their tools for venting their desires, and they could also be food for the thieves.

The old thieves basically can't be counted as people, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, etc. are all inhumane beasts.

It is not a positive image deliberately established by slandering some people who reverse black and white, but Li Zicheng, a thief of an alien race, and Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang, Hao Shaoqi and other thieves are selfish.

According to historical records, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming army besieged Shangluo in four ways, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others broke through to Yunxi, and in August of the same year, Yang Sichang supervised Yiling to besiege the thieves and horses in Brazil and the mountains of the belly of the fish.

In this case, in order to be able to escape for his life, Liu Zongmin actually killed his second wife and burned the baggage, and the generals under the command of the thieves followed suit and killed their own women and rode to break through.

Fortunately, these thieves didn't have the country, in fact, they are more evil than the murderous Jiannu, they can even kill their wives in order to survive for their own lives, and it is not uncommon to kill those women who stay by their side to eat meat when they are hungry.

The thieves were attacked by a surprise attack and collapsed in an instant, so they didn't have time to come to the camp to get the gold and silver treasures and kill the women.

Most of the Liukou camped in the center of the old battalion's henchmen and horse teams, with armed bandits on the periphery, and outermost outermost outermen who were coerced. Although they are a triple camp, they actually only have some appearance of the camp in the middle.

The periphery is full of shacks and underground nests, and the materials used to build these temporary campsites to shelter from the wind and rain are varied, not only dirty and messy, but also smelly, many homeless people do not even have shacks and underground nests, and can only huddle together as a family until dawn at night.

Fortunately, the drought in Henan is serious, and there is basically no rain during this time, if it rains for three or five days, it is estimated that more than half of the people will be lost due to illness.

Even so, there are still many hungry and cold homeless people who die at night every day, most of them are old people and children, and the homeless people who have become numb have long since lost their sentimentality and can recognize the reality, and often the dead are defenseless.
