Chapter 11 All the Way West
Gao Junshan relied on his body armor and did not wear armor, and when he saw the guy in heavy armor in front of him, he kept asking his name, Gao Junshan felt ridiculous, this is a war, not making friends, do you have to exchange business cards before you start fighting? I don't care who your name is, and if I kill you, I will be responsible for erecting a monument for you?
Gao Junshan didn't say a word, raised the Five Tigers Soul Breaking Gun in his hand, and gave He Renlong to recruit Pear Blossom to swing his head, He Renlong was not given in vain, he saw that the other party did not answer, and directly stabbed with a gun, so he took the move with a horizontal gun, who would have thought that Gao Junshan was just a false shot.
At this time, Sun Kewang, Feng Shuangli, Bai Wenxuan, Zhuang Youfu, and Zhang Cong also entered the enemy formation, people shouted horses, dust was flying, and the Ming army was in chaos.
Gao Junshan made a false move, and then made another move to return to the source, the sharp tip of the spear pierced He Renlong's heart, He Renlong didn't have time to use the gun to block, Gao Junshan's gun speed was as fast as lightning. At the critical moment, He Renlong leaned back smartly, closed his eyes tightly, and heard a "whoosh-" sound, and a cool breeze blew through the tip of his nose, and he was lucky to avoid the shot from Gao Junshan.
Gao Junshan didn't let the other party breathe, and used another trick to explore the moon under the sea, He Renlong came to a carp turned over and flew immediately, the tip of his gun was picked on the ground, and the whole person rose into the air, and after Gao Junshan's gun swept over, he sat back on the saddle safely, avoiding Gao Junshan's killing move.
At this time, there were no other figures in sight around Gao Junshan and He Renlong, because Gao Junshan's undersea moon exploration raised dust three feet high, and on the battlefield, only human voices were heard.
Gao Junshan used the third trick - to explore the clouds at sea, this time He Renlong's gun was faster than Gao Junshan, and he came back to the moon, Gao Junshan's trick had not yet been deployed, and the tip of the spear that He Renlong stabbed out reached the chest.
He Renlong shouted: "Pour!" ”
Gao Junshan wore ultra-thin graphene body armor, his predecessor was like a vajra bodyguard, He Renlong's only the tip of the gun hit a little spark, knocking Gao Junshan backwards.
Gao Junshan was furious and gave the other party a sweeping army. He Renlong originally thought that Gao Junshan would definitely die, but how did he think that he just leaned back. He Renlong couldn't understand, why didn't this person fall? Just when he hesitated, there was a sudden shock all over his body, all his internal organs were moved, his body lost his balance, and he was swept to the ground by the Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear of Gao Junshan, fortunately he was wearing heavy armor, otherwise his life would not be guaranteed.
Gao Junshan rode forward, just about to end the life of He Renlong, He Renlong's left and right killed a general, stopped Gao Junshan, Gao Junshan with one hit two, made a move flying dragon dance, and stabbed two generals under the horse.
In the process of Gao Junshan fighting with the two, He Renlong was rescued by his own soldiers, and the Ming army, which had lost its main general, had no intention of fighting again, and retreated to the stone building after fighting.
Cleaning the battlefield and counting the number of people, the righteous army died 326 people, the Ming army died 181 people, Gao Junshan got a batch of weapons and heavy armor, this encounter, the righteous army barely won. Gao Junshan did not dare to stay here, fearing that the Ming army would have follow-up troops, Gao Junshan ordered to continue to advance to the Yellow River crossing in Yonghe......
At the beginning of August of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Gao Junshan's team crossed the Yellow River, and as soon as they crossed the river, they met the 3,000 volunteers of the Red Army friends, who were very happy to see Gao Junshan, and they must go to Ningsai Fort with Gao Junshan.
Red Army Younai was born as a border soldier and was a native of Wu Qi Ningsaibao. Three years ago, due to the lack of pay for the border soldiers, they followed the mutiny of fellow villagers Shen Yiyuan and Shen Yikui, they broke Xin'an, occupied Ningsai, killed the general Chen Sanhuai, and then besieged Jingbian Fort.
Until January this year, this rebel army captured Baoan County. Zhang Yingchang, deputy commander-in-chief, led the troops to attack the security guards and started a fierce battle with the rebels, Shen Yiyuan was unfortunately killed in the defense battle, and the brothers of the rebels defeated Zhang Yingchang under the leadership of Shen Yikui.
In February, the general soldiers He Huchen and Du Wenhuan attacked the security again, and Shen Yikui led more than 1,000 horsemen to break through from the security and go west to Ningxia.
In late February, Shen Yikui led the people from Ningxia to the south to besiege Qingyang Mansion, and divided his troops to conquer Dongguan, beheading more than 500 Ming troops, and then captured Heshui. Wherever the righteous army went, the people responded, and the righteous army soon grew to 60,000 or 70,000 people.
Yang He, the governor of the three sides, was frightened and fell ill because of this, and did not think about tea and rice. He saw that suppressing the rebels by force would not work, so he sent someone to appease Shen Yikui.
Just a few days ago, the general He Renlong defeated Yonghe, and returned in embarrassment, he had nowhere to vent his anger on the general Shen Yikui, he pretended to set up a banquet to comfort Shen Yikui, and when everyone was drunk and said goodbye, the ambush soldiers rose everywhere, wantonly slaughtered, and killed a total of 320 people who went to the banquet, and a few people such as Shen Yikui escaped.
Shen Yikui, who escaped death, decided to make a comeback and wanted to raise the banner of righteousness again in Ningsai Fort, and is now secretly accumulating strength.
When the Red Army friends got the news of Shen Yikui, they crossed the Yellow River at Yonghe Ferry only half a month earlier than Gao Junshan, and when he learned that a group of men and horses with the banner of "Chuang" were also crossing the river, he led the troops to meet him.
As soon as the Red Army friends met, they suggested to Gao Junshan: "King Qin, my second brother Shen Yikui is determined to raise the banner of righteousness again, and he wants me to go and respond." Now that the King of Qin is here, why don't you go west with me, and let's do great things together? ”
Gao Junshan asked suspiciously: "Didn't Shen Yikui descend to the imperial court, why did he raise the banner of righteousness again?" ”
The Red Army friend explained: "It's all to blame for that crazy man who went back on his word. I don't know where he suffered a loss, and vented his anger on my second brother. He pretended to set up a banquet to comfort my second brother and others, but in fact laid an ambush, and when my second brother was drunk and said goodbye, the ambush soldiers rose in all directions, and more than 300 people died who went to the banquet with my second brother, and my second brother escaped death under the hard work of Li Busi. ”
Gao Junshan said lightly: "The crazy man You are talking about is my defeated general He Renlong, right?" ”
"It's He Renlong."
Tian Wenju reminded Gao Junshan: "King Qin, our army must immediately go south to join King Chuang, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to compete with the Ming army of the brigade." ”
Red Army friend said: "Tian Junshi don't have to worry, my second brother had 60,000 or 70,000 horses before he was appeased, as long as he ascended to the top and shouted, tens of thousands of people will respond, and we will definitely form a force when we are united." ”
Although Gao Junshan is not a historian, he has read several history books. In the rebel army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, only Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong became some climate, and the others were wiped out. Gao Junshan hopes that he can also dominate one side, so the words of his Red Army friends are tempting to him.
Gao Junshan wanted to hear Bailisha's opinion, so he asked Bailisha: "What is Brother Maocheng's opinion?" ”
Bailisha was looking down to think about the problem, and when he heard Gao Junshan ask himself, he hurriedly raised his head and replied: "King Qin, there is a certain truth in what the Red Army friends said......
Gao Junshan stopped when he saw that Bailisha was only halfway through his words, there must be someone else, it was inconvenient to say more, he didn't ask more, he turned to the Red Army and said: "Brother Hong, let me think about it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow." ”
Red Army friends said: "I have heard of the courage of the King of Qin, if the King of Qin agrees to go west with me, I am willing to take the King of Qin as the leader." ”
After the Red Army friends left, Gao Junshan once again asked Bailisha for his opinion, and Bailisha said: "King Qin, what I'm worried about is that we will meet with Shen Yikui, and Shen Yikui will not push King Qin as the leader of the alliance when he sees that our troops are meager, so I think we should focus on expanding our strength." ”
"How do you expand yourself?"
Bailisha replied: "Due to the inaction of the imperial court, it has become the norm for border soldiers to rebel and hungry people to riot. As far as I know, due to the large number of righteous troops in this area, there are many scattered people who are idle in the four townships. Our team has expanded, how dare Shen Yikui look down on King Qin? ”
It seems that Bailisha still understands Gao Junshan, and hopes that he will sit big and be a hegemon. And Tian Wenju's idea is to return to the main camp as soon as possible, after all, he is still a regular military advisor in Wang Jiayin's period, and the main force is still waiting for him to go back to plan.
It was a question of whether to go west or south, and Gao Junshan still chose to go west.
Because he learned two important news: first, in Jiazhou in northern Shaanxi, Zhang Cunmeng (nicknamed Bu Mu), who was defeated by the Ming army and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, not long ago, he returned to the Ming Dynasty; The second is in Qingyang, Shaanxi, Li Laochai, who was dismissed after being appeased, and the lone wolf, raised troops again.
In view of the current situation in Shaanxi, Gao Junshan ordered Hui Dengxiang to go to Qingyang to contact Li Laochai and Lone Wolf, and Ma Jinzhong to go to Jiazhou to contact Zhang Cunmeng; Sun Kewang and Feng Shuangli went to various towns and villages to recruit people.
After these four generals left the team, Gao Junshan joined forces with his Red Army friends and went to Ningsai Fort together.
The 5,000-strong army went through Ansai and reached the border pass Ningsai Fort in mid-August, and at the same time arrived at Ningsai Fort in addition to Shen Yikui, there were also Shen Yikui's old departments, Hao Lin'an, Ke Tianfei, and Huang Youcai, with a total strength of 30,000 horses.
Ningsai Fort is an important fortress in Yulin Town, one of the fourteen camp forts under the jurisdiction of Yansui Town West Road, with a radius of four miles and three points, and the castle has 18 arrow towers. The garrison of Nimsai Fort was responsible for guarding the Great Wall for 54 li and 280 steps, including 54 piers.
This year, stationed in Ningsaibao was Wu Hongqi, a general of the Ming army, and Fan Li, the chief soldier, who had more than 1,000 people and 600 horses. These more than 1,000 people are all from Shen Yikui's old department, and they were transferred to Wu Hongqi by Yang He, the governor of the three sides, when Shen Yikui surrendered to the imperial court.
When Shen Yikui's men and horses arrived at the city of Ningsai Fort, his old troops immediately opened the city gate to revolt, Wu Hongqi and Fan Li obediently became prisoners, and Ning Sai Castle fell into the hands of Shen Yikui without any suspense.
Shen Yikui was originally the master here, because the imperial court did not pay the military salary for a long time, he only rebelled, and today he stepped into Ningsai Fort, which is to go home. Everything was familiar to him, even his mansion had not changed, although it had changed two owners.
Shen Yikui sat on his own Taishi chair, scanning the civil and military on both sides, his twelve generals, except for the traitor Ru Chengming, all returned to his side, and also added a high mountain, and the military advisor Liu Hongru sat peacefully on his right seat.
Gao Junshan is the one who breaks into the king, and Shen Yikui still gives him face. Because Wang Jiayin was the most prosperous in Shanxi, he sent Red Army friends to contact, and the one who received the Red Army friends was Wang Gao Yingxiang.
Shen Yikui was very polite to Gao Junshan, he invited Gao Junshan to sit on his left seat, Shen Yikui, turned his body sideways, and asked Gao Junshan with a smile on his face: "I heard that Wang's army has been compressed in the south of Jinnan by the army of the imperial court in Hedong, I don't know what the current situation is?" ”
Gao Junshan couldn't tell Shen Yikui and Pan his own plans, since Shen Yikui mentioned Wang Ziyong, he raised the banner of Wang Ziyong: "Wang Ziyong has a huge momentum in Hedong, with more than 200,000 troops, and it is an expedient measure to fight in Jinnan." Now that the lord of the castle is making a comeback, I am willing to raise the banner of righteousness with the lord of the castle and echo with the king's own things. ”
