Volume 9 The Great Tribulation

Chapter 5 The dragon wanders the sea and the thieves

Section 8: Prisoner camps and camp camps

After capturing Li Dingguo and more than 10,000 thieves and horses, Feng Tian, the garrison of the first battalion of the pacesetter battalion, urgently discussed with the rest of the garrison, and decided to leave a group of soldiers and horses to garrison Jayang City, responsible for defending the city and guarding the prisoners, and the rest of the main army immediately marched east to support the Longxiang Iron Cavalry as soon as possible.

Everyone knows that at this time, there are hundreds of thousands of thieves and millions of thieves in the east, no matter how brave the Longxiang Iron Cavalry is, it is unthinkable to fight hundreds of thousands of thieves with 10,000 Iron Cavalry, and it is necessary to go to support as soon as possible.

After everyone had decided, it was decided to let the garrison Edward and the garrison Zhu Xuyu lead the artillery battalion and the baggage battalion to garrison Jaw Yang City, and the rest of the main army immediately set off to support the Longxiang Iron Cavalry.

Just when the battalions were moving, suddenly a team broke into the city of Jayang without collecting at night, and Feng Tian and other pacesetter battalion guards hurriedly called them over when they heard the news and asked, "But the superintendent sent you?" How's the battle going on the Overseer's side? ”

I saw a general manager who didn't collect a hundred at night and said excitedly: "General Qiyu! The superintendent has led the Longxiang Iron Cavalry to defeat the main force of the thief army twenty miles east of the city, hundreds of thousands of thieves were defeated in a battle, the thief leaders Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Song Xiance, and Niu Jinxing were all beheaded, the thief leader Li Yan surrendered, and the thief leaders Liu Fangliang, Li Laiheng, Tian Jianxiu, and Ai Nengqi took advantage of the chaos to escape. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of homeless people who were coerced by the army of thieves were also rescued by the Dragon Horseman! ”

Feng Tianzhu resisted the ecstasy in his heart and hurriedly asked, "How about the casualties of the Dragon Horse Iron Cavalry?" ”

"More than 600 brothers were lost. In addition, the Governor also ordered the generals to immediately abandon Jawyang City and lead the army to join the Dragon Xiang Iron Cavalry. ”

Hearing this news, everyone fell into shock, and then Feng Tian, Feng Xuan, Edward, Zhu Xuyu, Bao Desheng, Zheng Zhilong, Zhou Tianyi, and Hu Kun were ecstatic, shouting and cheering loudly, such an earth-shattering victory was enough to make the Hanwei Army mighty all over the world, and in the future, as long as those scattered thieves and remnants heard the name of the Hanwei Army, they would be frightened and panicked!

Bao Desheng said even louder: "In this way, the extermination of the thieves is just around the corner!" ”

However, Zhou Tianyi frowned while being happy and said, "It's a pity! Let Liu Fangliang, Li Laiheng, Tian Jianxiu, and Ai Nengqi, the leaders of the thieves, take advantage of the chaos to escape, if they can all be wiped out, then the war in the northwest can be completely over. ”

When everyone heard this, they also came back to their senses, and began to think about the situation in the northwest after the battle, Hu Kun thought for a while and said: "Yes, the thieves are like a plague, as long as one or two leaders get rid of it, it won't be long before there will be another big chaos!" ”

"So, destroy the enemy!"

Feng Tian said loudly: "We must pursue the fleeing thieves and kill them all, otherwise the pacification of the war in the northwest will be far away!" ”

At this time, Li Dingguo, who was waiting for disposal in the distance, also heard everyone's discussions, and when he heard that Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance were all killed, his heart instantly pinched, and he was very worried that his brother-in-law Ai Nengqi would also die in the chaos. However, when Li Dingguo heard that Ainengqi had successfully escaped, he breathed a sigh of relief, and there was only a burst of fear left in his heart.

"Next, the Han Wei army will definitely continue to attack the defeated troops from all directions, and will not give those who escape any respite, so that my brother's life will not be saved!"

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo shouted loudly: "General Feng! I have something to tell! ”

Twenty miles east of Jaw Yang City.

After most of the day's efforts, Liu Yunwei commanded the Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers to finally stabilize the hundreds of thousands of thieves and settle hundreds of thousands of wanderers. In the face of the tide of people, from Liu Yunwei to the ordinary soldiers of Long Xiang's iron cavalry, everyone has a string in their hearts, for fear that a storm will cause a huge turmoil, after all, it is impossible to take care of millions of people with 10,000 horses, without pressure.

In order to temporarily stabilize the more than one million people in front of him, the thieves were roughly divided into ten battalions, and tens of thousands of people in each battalion were guarded separately; And the same is true of the hundreds of thousands of displaced people, who are managed separately. And 10,000 dragon and iron cavalry soldiers also scattered in all directions, all sprinkled in the crowd of millions of people.

Liu Yunwei sat tiredly on a hill overlooking the front, his face seemed to be sinking like water, but his heart was turbulent, constantly looking forward to the tens of thousands of main forces of the pacesetter battalion coming as soon as possible, otherwise he would definitely have a long night.

Just in Liu Yunwei's expectation, the smoke and dust of the rapid march of the army appeared in the west, and it didn't take long for a Hanwei army battle flag to appear in Liu Yunwei's eyes.

When Liu Yunwei saw the reinforcements arriving, he immediately jumped on his horse and brought twenty guards to meet him.

When they got closer, Feng Tian and other pacesetter battalion garrisons surrounded him, first reported the battle in Jaw Yang City to Liu Yunwei, and then ordered someone to bring Li Dingguo over.

Feng Tian stepped forward and said: "Supervisor, this is the thief general Li Dingguo, he said that as long as he finds Tian Jianxiu, Ai Nengqi and other escaped thief leaders, he is willing to act as a messenger to persuade them to surrender." ”

Liu Yunwei couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, and said to Li Dingguo: "Li Dingguo is the one? How sure are you that you will be able to persuade them? ”

At this time, Li Dingguo was very excited when he saw the powerful Broken Army, took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and said: "Qiqi Broken Army, to be honest, I am not very sure, but I am confident that I can persuade my righteous brother Ainengqi to surrender, as for the others, I can only do my best." ”

Liu Yunwei thought for a moment and said, "Let's camp first, let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and we'll discuss the specific matters later." ”

At nightfall, Liu Yunwei commanded the army to set up a huge company camp that stretched for more than ten miles. After a preliminary count, the Hanwei army captured more than 350,000 thieves and horses, and more than 770,000 homeless people, which were divided into 11 battalions by Liu Yunwei with a scale of 100,000 people and placed in the center of the company camp.

The Chinese army battalion.

Liu Yunwei summoned Feng Tian, Feng Xuan, Bao Desheng, Guo Yi, Zheng Zhilong, Edward, and Zhu Xuyu, as well as two governors, Zhou Tianyi and Hu Kun, to discuss the matter, and brought Li Dingguo and Li Yan over.

In the period before nightfall, Liu Yunwei seemed to have an idea about the future battle situation, and at this time he first said to Li Dingguo and Li Yan: "This governor will not go around the bend anymore, since the two of you have surrendered, it is the prisoner of my Hanwei army, just like the 350,000 thieves outside, there is no difference!" ”

Li Dingguo's face still did not change at this time, but Li Yan was a little unbearable, after all, he was a literati, and he was inevitably a little uncomfortable when he heard that he had become a prisoner.

"Now that the Governor has organized these thieves into a prisoner camp and the homeless people into a camp of exiles, I want the two of you to lead the prisoner camp and the camp of exiles respectively, and make meritorious contributions for their crimes, are you willing?"

Hearing this, Li Dingguo and Li Yan both looked at Liu Yunwei in surprise and expressed their willingness. Guo Yi, Zhou Tianyi and others were a little surprised, and even a little worried, not understanding why Liu Yunwei would suddenly reuse these two captured thief leaders.

Everyone's expressions naturally couldn't escape Liu Yunwei's observation, only to see Liu Yunwei stand up and walk in front of a hanging map, and said to Li Dingguo and Li Yan: "Look at this full hall of heroes, those are the pillars of my Hanwei army!" Do you know why the Governor did not let them take charge of the prisoner camps and the camp camps, but he reused the two of you? ”

Li Dingguo and Li Yan glanced at each other, and they seemed to be a little confused for a while.

Liu Yunwei pointed to the map with his finger and said loudly: "This is Liaodong, just a few days ago, the Manchu slave chieftain Taiji led hundreds of thousands of Qing troops to the south, and now the soldiers have reached the Liaohe River, and they are fighting across the river with the main army of our Hanwei army!" Therefore, the Governor must end the war in the northwest as soon as possible, so that he can concentrate all the forces of the Han army against the Tartars! ”

Li Yan sneered and said, "So that's the case, it seems that there is a fire in the backyard of Uncle Pojun." ”

Liu Yunwei suddenly burst into a shout and said, "It's not my backyard that caught fire, it's Huaxia that has created another catastrophe!" If I Hanwei Army is held back by the northern thieves and forms a two-front battle situation, so that I am defeated in Liaodong, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be! ”

Li Dingguo said with a pale face: "Hundreds of thousands of Tartars will detain the pass and go south, and the pass will become a horse ranch for the Tartars!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yan's face also showed a look of fear.

Liu Yunwei continued: "If my Han Wei army is defeated, the Qing army will kill all the Guannei, do you want to do it again!" You want the land of China to sink again! ”

Li Dingguo and Li Yan were silent, although they were born as thieves, they were Han people, as long as they were bloody Han people, they would never allow Huaxia to be trampled by the Tatars!

"What does the Overseer want us to do?"

Liu Yunwei stared at Li Dingguo and Li Yan, and said word by word: "This governor wants you to stabilize the surrender of troops and displaced people, and after finding Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang and other bandit leaders, this governor wants you to go and surrender." This governor will take hundreds of thousands of thieves to the north of Liaodong and fight against the Tartars with the Han Wei army! ”

At this time, everyone in the tent couldn't sit still, and Guo Yi and others stepped forward to dissuade them, hoping that Liu Yunwei would give up this ridiculous idea.

And Li Dingguo also asked with a complicated expression: "Isn't the superintendent afraid that these hundreds of thousands of troops will defect?" ”

"Going north to Liaodong is to resist foreign humiliation, as long as these soldiers still think they are Han people, as long as they still have their ancestors and Huaxia in their hearts, why don't they believe them!"
