And seeing the Loyal and Righteous Army Loyal and Righteous Army killed, Zhang Nengqi, who was in charge of the break, was quite annoyed, as Feng Shuangli, the governor of the rear army, said, after the army withdrew from Chengdu City, the morale was low, if the other party broke through the escort force and killed the Chinese army, those who were coerced to carry money and food and baggage must be panicked.

In order to avoid this situation, the two led 20,000 soldiers and horses to kill a horse gun and fought with Yang Bingyi, the avant-garde regiment.

Seeing the Great Western Army coming, Yang Bingyi hurriedly lined up to meet the enemy and fought with Zhang Nengqi.

The most feared by the loyal and righteous army is the cavalry of the Liukou, especially on the plains, the cavalry rushes back and forth, which makes people take precautions, seeing that Zhang Nengqi actually wants to use the old method, entangle himself with infantry, and personally lead the cavalry to outflank the wings.

Yang Bingyi shrank his troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was in a hurry with the large battalion behind.

Standing in the distance and seeing Zhang Nengqi preparing to give full play to the advantages of cavalry to assault the two wings, Yang Xuan secretly shook his head, since the Chengdu Plain suffered a disaster the year before last (1644), the roads were muddy, and many dry lands were still watery.

If Zhang Nengqi kills from the flank, it will inevitably be difficult for the war horse to move, and its power will inevitably be greatly reduced.

After thinking about this, he sent Feng Youqing's regiment to launch a counter-encirclement of Zhang Nengqi who was assaulting the two flanks, and the best result of the battle was to lead him into the swamp, and then gather and annihilate him.

Zhang Nengqi, who was ravaging Yang Bingyi along the Tiankan, also found the problem at this time, although his more than 1,000 cavalry was quite powerful, but as long as the other party put a tricycle next to Tiankan and put a few wooden sticks to block Tiankan, he seemed powerless. (In order to resist the Houjin cavalry, Song Gaozong ordered each ridge to be filled with water)

Now seeing that Yang Xuan did the opposite, there was a great tendency to encircle himself in reverse, and he was afraid of losing it, so he hurriedly led his troops to withdraw, but it was too late, about two hundred cavalry were surrounded by the loyal army, and they were wiped out in a fight.

When Ma Chao raided the flank of Zhang Nengqi's cavalry, Yang Bingyi was overjoyed, and immediately led his troops to pounce on the rogue infantry that was blocking the front.

The attack on both flanks was blocked, and the nearly 10,000 infantry in front of the Liukou were terrified, and they were killed by the loyal and righteous army, and everyone fled on their backs.

Zhang Nengqi's troops were defeated by the loyal army, Feng Shuangli led his troops to meet him, but he was burdened by Zhang Nengqi's troops, and finally had to flee north, until Zhang Xianzhong led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to arrive, and the two sides launched the bloodiest battle since the formation of the loyal army.

As mentioned above, Zhang Xianzhong divided his troops into four ranks, the most of which was his 3,000 elite cavalry and thousands of elite soldiers.

The second class is the four righteous sons and several governors of the pro-army

The third class is the subordinates who have been adapted from the local official army

The fourth class is the peasant households with various weapons.

In the past, he fought with Zhang Wenxiu, **** Li, Bai Wenxuan and others, Yang Xuan was most afraid of the other party's pro-army, and now he suddenly encountered Zhang Xianzhong's elite soldiers and horses, and Yang Bingyi and Feng Shuangli were killed as soon as they fought, and some squadrons retreated again and again.

Yang Xuan, who was watching the battle in the rear, was shocked when he saw it, and led his troops to kill him, and after a fierce battle for half a day, he finally killed the rogue and forced the other party to retreat.

Collecting troops and returning to the camp, he saw the dense corpses in front of him, some of the loyal and righteous soldiers, and some of the rogues, listening to the fact that nearly five or six hundred loyal and righteous soldiers were killed and more than 1,000 injured in the first battle this afternoon, seeing such a large casualty, Yang Xuan held a big knife in his hand and hesitated.

At this moment, Ma Chao rushed in excitedly and shouted: "My lord, look, look, how can the rogues have so many treasures?

Yang Xuan was so shocked that he stood up from the stool, and saw Ma Chao carrying a chestnut tree about 6 feet long, what was surprising was that the chestnut tree was tied with an iron hoop in the middle of both ends.

In addition, Yang Xuan also seized 2 carriages, each carriage put more than 40 more than 25 centimeters in diameter and 130 centimeters long, and the two ends were tied with iron hoops.

Seeing that the chestnut trees were full of chestnut trees in front of them, everyone was overjoyed, and Yang Xuan immediately ordered the generals of each battalion to count, and after a day of fierce fighting, the loyal and righteous army intercepted a total of 100 long chestnut trees and 200 short chestnut trees, so that a total of 250,000 taels of silver were intercepted.

Seeing that there was so much money, everyone asked for war, and some even claimed that the interception of so much money this time could solve the problem of the shortage of salaries for the loyal and righteous army in one fell swoop, not to mention the death and wounding of more than 2,000 people, even if it was a little more, it would be acceptable.

But the casualties on the first day were too great, Yang Xuan decided to change his tactics, tailgating all the way, sneaking all the way, Sichuan is so big, there will always be a chance.

But at noon the next day, Yang Zhan, the deputy general, led his troops to arrive, Yang Xuan was overjoyed, and hugged his fists and said: General Yang, Zhang Xian is loyal to hate, and when he escaped from Chengdu, he not only set fire to Chengdu City, but also coerced more than 100,000 people to evacuate along the Golden Bull Road.

Our department has intercepted some of the people only to find that Zhang Xianzhong robbed too much property, you see, the chestnut tree carried by two people was loaded with 30 ingots of silver, and the carriage was loaded with 10 ingots of silver.

General Yang, you are a famous general in Sichuan, I, Yang Xuan, am just a rising star, and I hope that my lord will make it clear what to do next. ”

When he took the exam, Yang Zhan won the first and third places in one fell swoop, which is what we often call Wu Tanhua, whose reputation is far above Zeng Ying and Zhao Ronggui.

In the past, although the two knew each other under the account of Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, it was just the support of the seniors to the juniors.

In the past two years, the Loyal and Righteous Army has sprung up, and Yang Xuan's official position is even higher than it, and it was a little embarrassing to meet for the first time, but seeing that Yang Xuan was still as humble as before, he was quite happy in his heart.

Yang Zhan laughed, patted Yang Xuan on the shoulder and said: "Zixiu, this Zhang Xian is loyal to hate, when I arrived with my troops this morning, the Shu Wangfu and the governor's yamen still burned non-stop, and other places were also withered.

Zhang Xianzhong is so hateful, don't say that there is no silver, it is incumbent on us to save the people. ”

Yang Xuan nodded again and again and said: "What the adults said is exact, my lord, I have intercepted 200 chestnut trees, and the adults are also worried about the military salary, or I will have someone send 50 to thank the adults for their reinforcements." ”

Yang Zhan laughed and said: Zixiu, it's rare for you to have this heart, and I will be content if you have this heart.

Zixiu, in the battle at the mouth of the Pengjiang River, I burned several of Zhang Xianzhong's ships with a fire, and I also intercepted a batch of property before and after, and I was originally going to give you a part, but now we don't want to help each other. ”

When Yang Xuan heard this, he congratulated again and again. It was immediately agreed that the two families would join forces in one place, under the unified command of Yang Zhan, and the property intercepted would be divided equally between the two armies.

In order to continue to put pressure on the Liukou, Yang Zhan and Yang Xuan led their troops to attack the Liukou rear army in turn to consume the Liukou's combat power, but Zhang Xianzhong also strengthened the strength of the broken queen, not only personally commanded, but also ordered Zhang Kewang, Zhang Nengqi, Feng Youqing and others to lead their troops to block the Golden Bull Road, preventing the Ming army from easily breaking through the defense line and approaching the Chinese army.

During this period, although the Ming army ordered the partial generals to lead their troops to copy the opponent's side road, forcing the opponent to be in a hurry, and rescued a large number of people, on the other hand, the captured chestnut trees were very limited.

The morale of the people was quite low, Yang Xuan smiled and comforted everyone: "Everyone, people are the most important thing compared to silver, a person can earn 7,8 taels of silver in a year, we also rescued 2,3,000 people today, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter."

Pass my order, Zhang Xianzhong kidnapped my fellow villagers, it is really hateful, from today on, anyone who rescues the captives will be rewarded with 1 tael of silver.

We are all peasants, and with fields and people, are we still worried about countless silver? ”

When everyone heard this, they all smiled bitterly.

Of course, the various units did not make any gains from time to time, and the cavalry regiment guerrilla general Ma Chao made quite a lot of gains.

As long as he saw that the opponent had fewer soldiers and horses, he led the cavalry to attack, and when he saw that the opponent had a large number of people, he let the opponent pass, and in this way, hundreds of people were rescued on the first day.
