Chapter 507: Cease-of-Arms

"Coming?" Liu Chang's face suddenly had a smile: "It's good to come, let's go back for a meal, and then wait for the news slowly!"

And Hu Yuanwei and Pan Dingxin also have smiles on their faces now, although this Zhang Lexing is said to be a very brave general in the twist, but if you talk about his siege record, it is not a seat at all, and now there are more than 10,000 old rainbow troops in Luzhou!

In addition to the 3,500 Lao Hong troops brought by Feng Sixian, there is also a whole infantry brigade of the First Division here, with a total strength of more than 7,500 people, plus the main force of Zhou Xiuying's cavalry brigade, as well as countless old Qing troops, local heroes, and village warriors near Luzhou, how can the total strength be 50,000 or 60,000 people, and if it is mobilized thoroughly, it can even mobilize more than 100,000 people.

As for Zhang Lexing's 130,000 troops, everyone knows how much water there is, and the twisters have always dragged their families and mouths out collectively, and even hundreds or thousands of people from the entire clan went out together, if the wives and children they brought were cut off, the total amount that could actually participate in the battle was very limited, at most 40,000 or 50,000 people.

And Twist is a mixed team, with a hundred elite soldiers, and characters who are completely watching the play on the sidelines, so Feng Sixian put his mind at ease: "Okay!" Everyone, eat well, I'll make this meal!"

Although Liu Chang is not a glutton, he also pays attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation: "That's right, let's eat well and eat Zhang Lexing's 130,000 horses!"

And Zhou Xiuying beside him had already stood up: "Your Highness, I'll go and explore the way for the soldiers, and also see what is going on with the men on the horse in Huaibei!"

"Be careful! Be careful!" Liu Chang can be said to be very valuable to Zhou Xiuying, the commander of the cavalry brigade, and the cavalry brigade is now equipped even more than the first division, and even equipped with a considerable number of Yanmar, completely overpowering the Mongolian horses of other troops: "Bring more cavalry." Don't risk it!"

"No problem!" Zhou Xiuying was hearty and generous: "I'm worried, if we say too fiercely, we will directly rush across the 130,000 twists, and it will be troublesome!"

"Xiuying, if you rush across the twist. Even if Zhang Lexing runs back to Huaibei, I will never hold you responsible!" Liu Chang smiled: "Be careful!"

Although Zhou Xiuying is arrogant, she is indeed the most effective female general under Liu Chang, and as soon as her horse team is dispatched, the movement of Zhang Lexing's troops will soon be reported.

Zhang Lexing's momentum of an army of more than 100,000 twisters can be said to be huge. Dozens of miles were full of twisted teams and flags, and they dragged their families and mouths like a swarm of locusts sweeping across the field, and they had to consider the old and weak in their ranks.

But it's not just the elite who help them in their actions, it's also the large horse team, though this team is also in some way as mixed with twists. There are not only the world's first horsemen like Ren Zhu, but also many cavalry who don't even have horses and can only use mules and donkeys to make up the numbers.

But when this cavalry galloped, they saw that there were their horse teams within hundreds of miles, including horse teams of several horses and dozens of horses. There are also hundreds or even thousands of horse teams, virtual and real, real and virtual, giving people the feeling that the twist has an endless number of horse teams, and there are at least tens of thousands of horse teams in each direction.

And the real killing opportunity of the twisted horse team is hidden behind this endless horse wave, and they often concentrate a large-scale horse team to suddenly give the opponent a fatal blow. Only this time, they met a good opponent.

Although Zhou Xiuying's cavalry is not as experienced as the Twisted Army Horse Team, which has been fighting for several years, the size of the horse team is also slightly inferior. But the problem is that they have the most sophisticated equipment in this time and space, Western swords, revolvers, mini rifles, cavalry, cavalry, and cannons, if you talk about the quality of military horses, they also have an absolute advantage, the weakest military horses are also the best Mongolian horses, and many cavalry officers such as Zhou Xiuying ride the best Arab horses.

The numerical weakness was largely compensated for by the newly joined former Qing army horse team and the Xiangyong horse team. They also mobilized hundreds of war horses to act as Zhou Xiuying's vanguard. It was often these weaker horse teams that dragged the Twist Army, and then Zhou Xiuying's cavalry smashed into it like bayonets.

After several encounters, both sides won each other, but the large team of hundreds of thousands of twisters was like a thousand heavy waves, and it was crushed over, except for the large polder fort with thousands of brave towns, the villages along the way opened their gates one after another, and were forced to greet this group of locusts with smiling faces.

Zhang Lexing rode on a horse, he felt that the team's marching speed was not far from the expectation, but the Hongbing horse team seemed to be more than he expected, and he didn't know how so many horse teams came about, but when he heard that there was a township brave horse team in Feixi County, he suddenly understood that Feng Sixian dared to attack the provincial capital with a team of 3,500 steps, and he had such a battle.

In his military horses, he saw countless military flags, red flags, white flags, black flags, yellow flags, blue flags, and many lace flags, in these flags are very interested twisters, they carry blankets, wear Huaibei homespun clothes, while walking casually talking about their own family trivialities, from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's fighting methods to the victory and defeat on the gambling table, as well as their personal scenery and past, it is not like a war at all, but like a long trip.

"Master!" Du Jincia rode a small flower horse, this little flower horse was specially selected by Zhang Lexing for her, it is said that she killed a Qing army general before handing it over, usually the most tame but, but today this little flower horse is not small, so Du Jincia smoked the little flower horse, and leaned towards Zhang Lexing: "How far is it from the provincial capital?" ”

"It's coming, that's a day or two!" Zhang Lexing behaved like a rich man from a peasant family, and spoke very warmly: "You can rest assured, when the provincial capital is opened, I will make you the mother of the main palace!"

"Masamiya Niangniang?" Du Jincian rejected this thought, what is the great thing about the Zhenggong Niangniang, how many East Palace Niangniang and West Palace Niangniang are among the twists alone, although everyone respects Zhang Lexing on the surface, but in private he still likes to be the emperor behind closed doors, like before Liu Vicious Wolf was killed, it is said that there are thirty Niangniang, she thinks about more important things: "This time to fight Luzhou, you must be careful Jinshen!"

"Even if you don't open the provincial capital, at least now you have opened a county seat, right?" Zhang Lexing smiled: "This is a God-given opportunity for us to twist our children, if we miss this time, I think it's like I didn't go to the state that time!"

"I didn't take it down!" Du Jincian thought that he had found a loophole in Zhang Le's jargon: "Master, this is more than 100,000 lives!"

"We have more than 100,000 mouths into the provincial capital, I must pack up the team, at least I won't do it like that time in the first county of Kaigushi, I'm sorry friends!" Zhang Lexing has already planned what to do after opening the provincial capital: "I will officially take the stage to pay respects to the prime minister and invite a Zhuge Liang to come, how do you see Gong Blind being my Zhuge Liang?" ”

The more optimistic Zhang Lexing became, the more Du Jinchan always had a feeling of trepidation: "How is the horse team over there?" ”

"Feng Sixian and Feixi's Xiangyong converge, it seems that there are still many Xiangyong who have joined them, but his horse team is really a lot, three or four hundred horses at every turn, Ren Zhu said, he is ready to take the time to give these horse thieves a ruthless blow!"

Du Jinchan immediately found out the fault in Zhang Le's jargon: "That is, our horse team didn't take advantage?" ”

"Tie, tie!" Zhang Lexing replied: "Who called our horse team relatively small!"

"We have quite a few horse teams!" Du Jinchan said: "Feng Sixian's horse team is quite a lot, you have to be careful, see if the current team's posture is slowing down!"

"Slow down, stop for half a day, it's how many catties of grain and grass!"

Zhang Lexing is not happy, more than 100,000 horses, not to mention ordinary people, that is, high-class families with hundreds of acres of fertile land, the army has to eat overnight, and now the twist is like a group of locusts in transit, which has eaten the large and small villages along the road, and if you stay any longer, it will force people to fight hard with you.

As he was talking, Ren Zhu in front had already reported a good news, saying that the horse team had won the battle: "Thirteen Western horses, fifty or sixty strong war horses, one hundred or dozens of foreign guns, the enemy cavalry has been killed and wounded very seriously, and the soldiers can already point directly at the provincial capital!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Zhang Lexing was so happy that he couldn't find the north: "Ren Zhu, this baby, is indeed the first person in our twist!" I remember his fight!"

Just waiting for Ren Zhu's envoy to leave, Zhang Lexing turned around and glared at Du Jinchan: "Stinky mother-in-law, I, Zhang Lexing, have been in Anhui for more than 20 years, and I have never liked to listen to women, but this time, I listen to you, the mother-in-law!"

Happiness suddenly fell from the sky, Du Jinchan didn't expect that Zhang Lexing was originally bent on rushing to Luzhou, why did he suddenly change his mind?

"Master, what's going on?"

"Let Ren Zhu, this baby, explore the way for us, the rainbow soldiers swept the southeast, that is, Shengbao, Seng Lingqin, Zhang Guoliang, and Zeng Guofan all lost to them, how could it be so sparse! I'll see!"

The cavalry battle between the two sides continued, Zhou Xiuying first urgently reported that all three battles had been won, killing and wounding more than 100 horses, and then reported a small defeat, with seven cavalry killed and 16 wounded, while the Xiangyong cavalry who fought together suffered heavy casualties and lost nearly 60 cavalry.

This is the great victory that Ren Zhu reported to Zhang Lexing, in fact, Ren Zhu's so-called captured war horses are almost all dead horses, but no matter what, this is the victory of the twisted army, and the two sides of the next battle first formed a stalemate, and then Ren Zhu made a bloody investment, and he personally led the horse team to form a chain of formations towards Luzhou to kill.

According to Zhou Xiuying's estimates, the total strength of the total strength is at least two thousand horses, and what makes people even more nervous is that Zhou Xiuying reported that the main force of the twist army suddenly stopped and did not advance, and it seemed that he had the intention to let the horse team rush first, and then explore the truth and then talk about it.
