Chapter 397: A Clear Stream Among the Thieves

The yellow sand is flying all over the sky and covers the sky, the yellow sand in the sky makes people unable to see the scene in front of them, only a piece of yellow and the unique sound of thunder and thunder when the iron hooves are galloping, the yellow sand can vaguely see the reflection of the snow white of the ice blade, the first few people are slender and slender with a fierce color, it is Luo Rucai He is the veteran of the righteous army with a high prestige, but he is greedy for money and lustful Ming Shi said that Rucai has dozens of wives and concubines, and he is served Qi, and he has several female music under his account, and he is self-supporting. In stark contrast to Li Zicheng's gooseberry light rice, there are more than 30,000 elite old thieves and 20,000 step thieves.

On the side is another man who looks sideways, his face is full of ravines, and he is wearing a man in iron armor, all wearing a black felt hat, he is a thief from the border army, his real name is Zhang Wu, who was born in the border army, and has been showing people under the pseudonym of Zhang Wu, there are 3,000 old subordinates of the multilateral army, who are infantry on horseback, and tens of thousands of old thief cavalry who have been incorporated later.

Behind Luo Rucai, a general who lacked a right hand broke off a hand, leaving only a left hand with an affectionate and fierce appearance, Luo Rucai said: "Luo He, what is the situation ahead!" ”

"It's the soldiers and horses of Daming Shandong, as well as the elite of He Renlong, Bai Guangen, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Yanchen! There are no less than 80,000 troops! He said, all the thieves inhaled.

Luo Rucai glanced at the countless army of thieves behind him and said, "So many troops? He was surprised that the Ming army had gathered so many troops, and sighed again: "There is a Ming Dynasty clan in Kaifeng!" It's normal for the other side to gather so many troops! He said.

Zhang Wu on the side was solemn, and said, "Everyone knows that Qin Xiaochuan has sharp firearms, and there are border troops and Shaanxi He Renlong's troops, if we fight with them hard, I'm afraid it will be a field battle, and it will not be their opponent at all!" ”

"But more than 30,000 of Qin Xiaochuan's subordinates are auxiliary soldiers! In this way, the elite they can fight is about 50,000," Luo He said, a glint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"That's too much," Luo Rucai said: "Well, we have no less than 500,000 hungry soldiers under our command, and even more hungry people have defected to our righteous army, so if you count it, so many hungry people can completely exhaust their strength, and then go up to fight their exhausted main force at this time." ”

"This?" Zhang Wu shook his head and said, "What if the other cavalry pursues and kills our cavalry?" Among them are border cavalry! ”

"Hehe, we are not their opponents in close combat, but this cavalry pursues and ambushes, they should not be afraid to enter the ambush circle of our rebels!" Luo Rucai said with confidence.

A group of people said this, Luo Rucai glanced at the sky in the distance, and said, "The hungry people consume the strength of the other party, look at the other party's grain road, if the other party's grain road has a grain transportation team, the river will be handed over to you" He said, the opponent's infantry firearms need to consume a lot of grain and grass, and they are ready to intercept the grain road.

Zhang Wu also nodded, believing in this Luo He very much, although the other party was missing a right hand, it did not affect his ability and mind at all, he was extremely decisive in doing things, and he could make good decisions and was exactly the same as his father-in-law Luo Rucai.

"The opponent has so many troops, then his grain channel will inevitably be lengthened! There is no food for them to eat in Henan! Luo Rucai touched his beard and said, that is, to analyze the weak point of the other party, the grain road.

Luo He hugged his fists and turned to leave.

*********************

"Luo Rucai? Zhang Wu? Xiao Chuan muttered two sentences strangely, and the thieves also played a set of encirclement points to send reinforcements, but they made a difference, and Wang Heng on the side touched his beard and said, "Hehe! Although they contradict each other, our troops are in harmony with each other. ”

"Zhang Wu, Zhang Wu, the star of the sky, he was born in the border army!" Cao Bianjiao said, "Although his number is small, more than 10,000 people are a clear stream among the thieves, Gu is a hundred battle elites who can stand and fight well, and he never brings hungry people to fight!" ”

Oh! Hearing this Xiaochuan is to understand how huge the rebel army at the end of the Ming Dynasty is, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng is just the largest number of rebels in this many, among which there are more than 30 rebel armies that can be named, and there are even more small rebel armies in other small ways, so that this strong and huge Ming army is helpless, and the Ming army can recruit and fight well The troops do not know how many they can fight, but there is no way to deal with the thieves, that is, the number of the other party is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a wave of destruction and two waves will come out tomorrow It is helpless.

Seeing that everyone was showing a trace of solemnity, it seemed that this Guotianxing did not seem to have a low status in everyone's hearts, and all of his subordinates were eager to try, and they didn't put Guotianxing in their eyes at all.

"Report!" The thieves are here! Outside heralds came to report.

A group of people walked out of the big tent and came to a high platform where they could see far away, and in the distance there was an endless yellow sand in the sky, and they could vaguely see a group of cavalry in the yellow sand in the distance.

"Wait for me to wait for the Yulin cavalry to come out and defeat this group of hungry people," Mo Jun immediately said: "I see that there are only a few thousand rogue cavalry on the periphery!"

"No, although the thieves seem to have thousands of people, they are suspicious soldiers, and when you go out, if you enter the thief ambush circle, there will be tens of thousands of thieves and countless hungry people!" Wang Yanchen said that he was a veteran of the battlefield, so he quickly analyzed the thoughts of this group of thieves.

Everyone nodded, Mo Jun was still a little unconvinced and was glared back by Xiao Chuan, this Luo Rucai called Cao Cao's nickname is not for nothing.

"If we don't move, this group of thieves won't move" Wang Heng said: "The purpose of the thieves is to trap our elites in the north of Henan, and they will definitely not take the initiative to attack us."

Oh? That is to say, if he does not come out of the camp, the other party will not attack at all, and the other party's purpose is to trap himself here and create time for Li Zicheng to lay Kaifeng.

Cao Bianjiao hugged his fists and said: "General, the siege of Kaifeng must be incomprehensible, let me wait for the border army to open the way for the general!" General, your firearms are out of the camp and not easy to use! Wang Yanchen on the side also said the same, but Bai Guangen and He Renlong looked motionless.

"You just wait to protect my flanks!" Xiao Chuan said, but he understood that the other party did not trust his infantry combat effectiveness, and only thought that he only had firearms in the village.

"Huh? No! The cavalry of the thief army is strong, and Zhang Wu's soldiers are very strong! A few people on the side persuaded. I think Ogawa is too big.

He Renlong's heart is just right, your firearms are strong, the cavalry is good, but against these countless thieves firearms, isn't it a cannon to fight mosquitoes, and it's not that the Qing army is strong but there are so many people, the hungry people of the thieves are enough to fight until you beat the firearms to scrap, and to deal with this kind of troops, you can only rely on the infantry to take turns to replenish your strength. The starvation tactics are simply the nemesis of firearms.
