Chapter 389: After the reconnaissance is discontinued

Hearing the strength of the Tiance Army, the bandit leaders were obviously relieved.

Wheden said, "Handsome, what do you think ......?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong looked at everyone's expressions, everyone's thoughts were probably the same, just after defeating the official army, Anqing's fat was in front of him, how could he give up easily?

"Luo Shuai, how about you go and collect the defeated soldiers, and then plunder the formation for us?" Zhang Xianzhong said.

The reason why Luo Rucai came so desperately was because there were still his 40,000 horses here to help Zhang Xianzhong, otherwise he would have gone into the ravine.

Originally, Luo Rucai was going to publish his escape theory, but when he saw Zhang Xianzhong showing a hideous look, Hui Dengxiang and others were also eager to try, and swallowed back the words that came to their mouths.

Zhang Xianzhong and others won a new victory, and it was the time when they were in high spirits. Luo Rucai's strength was greatly reduced, and he was about to raise his glory, and he was worried that Zhang Xianzhong would swallow his own people, so he didn't say much and nodded in response.

In fact, he had other ideas in his heart, that is, once the situation was not good, he would run away with his own little money.

Luo Rucai excused himself to reorganize the army and left. Zhang Xianzhong glanced at Sun Kewang, and Sun Kewang immediately followed.

"Luo Shuai is frightened, what can he do if he is left?" Wheaton asked, puzzled.

Zhang Xianzhong smiled bitterly: "He can't leave, if he takes people away, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army." This day the army is coming, how can it only be known after fighting, although Luo Shuai is now seriously damaged, isn't there still 40,000 horses? ”

The advantage of having a large number of people is that once defeated, a large number of hungry soldiers can slow down the speed of the pursuit of officers and soldiers.

Zhang Xian is loyal and cunning, and likes to swallow other people's people, which is another type than Li Zicheng. This product is unwilling to be subordinate, and it is very difficult to deal with Li Zicheng. This is also the main reason why after Fengyang, the two are one north and one south.

Zhang Xianzhong, Hui Dengxiang, Liu Guoneng and others continued to drive their troops towards the siege of Anqing. Luo Rucai gathered thousands of defeated troops, plus the original 40,000 troops, finally had some capital, and cautiously followed.

Such a big movement was of course detected by the reconnaissance platoon released by Wang Yue, and the forward dynamics were constantly fed back to the landing ship command room of the naval fleet.

Since there was no radio contact with the local officials and soldiers, it could only be judged from the situation that the officers and troops were defeated, and the rogues surrounded Anqing.

Wang Yue immediately ordered the two battalions of Feng Yuanshan's regiment to march to the city of Anqing, prepare to assist in the defense of Anqing, and prepare to receive officers and soldiers, and ordered the reconnaissance platoon to find the whereabouts of Shi Kefa, the governor of Anqing.

The Ming army in Anqing came from all over the country, and the nominal commander was Wang Jiazhen, the prime minister of the five provinces, but this goods were squatting in Henan. People are the commanders of the five provinces, and they don't come to the front line to talk about the past. Next is Lu Weiqi, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and the governor of Yingtian.

Lu Weiqi was also not on the front line, squatting in Nanjing.

Therefore, the suppression of bandits in Anqing has always been led by Zhang Guowei, the governor of the original Tianxuan, and Shi Kefa assisted him.

Therefore, Wang Yue must find Shi Kefa first before they can connect with each other.

Shi Kefa led 5,000 Chizhou soldiers and rushed to Anqing in a panic, and met Liu Bin, the eunuch of the Nanjing Jingying Supervision Army, and his thousands of soldiers who fled down on the way, so they went together.

Shi Kefa was anxious, not only worried that the Liukou would take the empty Anqing City first, but also worried that the Liukou would be powerful, and he might not be able to defend it if he went back.

Just halfway through, a strange car stopped on the side of the road, with neither cattle nor horses, and there were no people in sight.

The Ming army ran past the car one after another, and when weapons, armor and other objects collided, there was a rattling sound and messy footsteps.

Now it's important to run for your life, and no one is going to take a closer look at what kind of car it is.

Shi Kefa rode forward and walked in the middle of the group. When he was about to get near the strange car, a huge voice suddenly sounded: "It's Lord Shi Kefa Shi?" ”

The sound was so loud that the nearby Ming army trembled, and many people sat on the ground.

Shi Kefa was also so startled that he almost fell off his horse, quickly pulled the reins, stopped at the place, and then looked for the source of the sound in disbelief.

Liu Bin, the eunuch of the Jingying Supervision Army, and Pan Guozhu, the commander of the Chizhou soldiers, also stopped their horses.

Pan Guozhu roared loudly: "Be on guard on both sides, be careful of ambushes!" ”

In fact, the terrain here is empty, and it is clear at a glance, and it is not a good location for ambushes at all.

Shi Ke froze and calmed down, but he didn't notice the ambush, and said loudly: "Who is calling this official?" ”

"Bang dang!" The strange car opened the door from behind, and a dozen or so soldiers with firearms came down, guarding the nearby Ming army.

A man who looked like an officer walked up and said, "Smack! Di saluted Shi Kefa with a strange military salute, and said loudly: "Zhan Peng, the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon of the Fifth Regiment of the Tiance Army, has seen Master Shi. ”

It turned out that the reconnaissance platoon was the big banner of "history" in the Ming army, and it should be Shi Kefa who judged it.

"Tiance Army?" Shi Kefa suddenly remembered and asked, "Could it be that Lord Wang Sihua led the army to arrive?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhan Peng said: "Lord Wang Sihua, the governor of Yingtian, has arrived at Changfeng Shagang in Anqing, and I have invited Lord Shi to discuss the military situation. ”

Hearing that reinforcements were coming, Shi Kefa, Liu Bin and others couldn't help but be overjoyed, especially the Tiance Army with brilliant achievements.

Liu Bin, the eunuch of the prison army, said with a smile: "Master Shi, I'll go and greet Lord Wang Sihua soon." ”

Although Shi Kefa has a lot of opinions about Wang Yue's actions in Beijing, he still has to give the necessary face when people come to support him, not to mention that Wang Yue is still his official now.

Shi Kefa nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to Changfeng Shagang first and invite Lord Wang into the city." ”

Now that strong reinforcements have arrived, Shi Kefa is not in a hurry.

At this moment, suddenly there was a noise in the rear team: "The horse team of the thieves is coming, go quickly!" ”

"Let's go!"

Many Ming troops ran up from behind, and the commander Pan Guozhu grabbed a general who ran up from behind, grabbed his front placket and shouted: "What are you panicking about? How many thieves are coming? ”

The general calmed down and said, "Big, about a thousand people." ”

The eunuch Liu Bin said loudly: "Master Shi, you take the first step, and the miscellaneous family will cut off the rear for you, go quickly!" ”

He also saw that almost all of the recruits that Shi Kefa brought were recruits. His own Beijing camp has also fought with the Liukou for a while, and it is always better than Shi Kefa's soldiers.

Zhan Peng, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon, suddenly said: "Master Shi, please rush to Changfeng Shagang as soon as possible, this place is handed over to us." ”

Without waiting for Shi Kefa to answer, Zhan Peng waved to his soldiers and said, "Get in the car and stop the rogue." ”

The reconnaissance platoon all got into the car, and then the armored car came and went to the rear of the Ming army.

This strange car was able to move on its own, and the eyes of Shi Kefa and the others involuntarily moved with the car.
