Knowing that Yang Zhiyi of the Ming Army had actually moved to Luoxing Town, Chen Chu could hardly believe his ears. For an army, it's a Jedi! At the intersection of the two rivers, there is no way out of the sky, and there is no way to enter the ground. Is this Yang Zhi in the brain? It shouldn't be.

"Why?" He asked, a little suspicious.

"There must be a problem with the supply of grain and grass in Yang Zhi's department." A mine owner stood up and said, "Now General Cai Qiang's five thousand cavalry is heading in the direction of Danyang, and the grain route of this Ming army has always been supported by Danyang, it must be because the grain route has been cut off, so they are going to Luoxing Town to eat." ”

"Wu Gui is right." Another person also helped: "Lord County Guard, Luoxing Town has always been a rich grain producing area because of its flat terrain, abundant water resources, and fertile land, and Luoxing Town has enough food, obviously this Yang Zhi inquired about this, so he went to Luoxing Town to grab grain, and now it is the autumn harvest time!" ”

"They are new to the city and are not familiar with the topography of my new Tong County, and maybe they haven't noticed it yet." Wu Gui said excitedly: "Lord County Guard, we have to hurry up and block them in Luoxing Town, if we let them escape, it will be troublesome again, with a series of pockets, they are the turtles in Wengzhong, and they can't make trouble anymore." ”

Chen Chu nodded slightly, the meaning of Wugui must also be the meaning of all the mine owners present, it is serious to quickly extinguish this Ming army, you know, everyone has brought out the private army in their hands, and there is no one to suppress their own mines, the time is short, and there is Yu Wei to let those miners be honest, but after a long time, maybe something will happen. These mines are related to everyone's net worth, so naturally there can be no leakage.

"In that case, then we will choose Falling Star Town as a battlefield to annihilate the enemy army." Chen Chu slapped the table and made up his mind. "Mobilize tonight, start tomorrow morning, the soldiers are fast, the sooner the better, then Yang Zhi wants to harvest the grain around Luoxing Town, it will always take a few days. Enough for us to plug them up. ”

Many private generals also left excitedly one by one, originally there was still a little doubt, but now they are left out of the clouds, where are you not going, running to Luoxing Town? Outside, the 20,000 of us, are piled up and killed you.

After a night of hustle and bustle, in the early morning of the next day, the army of Xintong County drove out of the county town in a mighty way, all the way to Luoxing Town, with bright armor, swords and guns, a ballista, a trebuchet, and a column of cavalry, just looking at the appearance, it was really majestic.

The three thousand county soldiers of Xintong County, in fact, are the private army of Chen Chu, who takes the salary of the imperial court, but does the private work of the Chen Chu family, and usually spends most of the time on suppressing the mines of the Chen family for Chen Chu and taking care of other businesses, Chen Chu is the first rich family in Xintong, and naturally he will not be treated badly for these thugs, and the salary is paid by the taxes collected by Xintong County, but the armor and weapons are provided by Chen Chu, and it is impossible for the Qin court to equip his private army with such good weapons. This army of 3,000 people is also the fundamental guarantee for Chen Chuneng to arrogantly roar Xintong County and bully other families. The other families are not without money, but the problem is, you can't openly equip so many troops, if you really do this, Chen Chu will immediately come and ask why? Are you trying to rebel?

Not long after Chen Chu led his troops out of the county town, the thunderstorm nested in a small village received the news, and several eagle nest spies hidden in Xintong County City found him in front of him.

"What? All 20,000 people left the city? There are only a few hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the city, and some are caught to maintain order? Thunderstorm's eyes widened, and he stared incredulously at the information brought by the spies in front of him. Is this Chen Chu an idiot? The county town is heavy, and there are not enough defenders left? Bai Chun'er, are you mistaken? ”

Lei Storm used to be just a big thief in the rivers and lakes, and he was not particularly good at military command, but after following Yang Zhi in the army for a few years, he saw many doorways, and after some bad supplements, he is now a qualified general, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard the news brought by the spy Bai Chun.

"General Lei, a major military event, how dare you joke about your humble position? Don't want a head? Bai Chun'er looked at the thunderstorm dissatisfied, he was not in the same system as the thunderstorm, but he was not afraid of this strong man. If we set off now, we can easily take the city of Xintong County. ”

"It's not right, it's not right!" Thunderstorm shook his head: "How far have they gone now?" If we jump out, we'll scare them back immediately, and General Yang will have to rip off my head. We have to let them fight, the fight is inseparable, and the Xintong army has broken its backbone, that is a good opportunity for us to dispatch, and when the time comes, these guys will have no woluo! By the way, how about their gear? ”

"It looks very majestic, we counted, there are at least hundreds of crossbows, and there are ten trebuchets, and those private soldiers, all of them are not worse than our Ming army! These smugglers have money. Bai Chun'er said with a smile.

"So many heavy weapons?" Thunderstorm couldn't help but frown, "This is a bit of a problem!" ”

"General Lei, don't worry, the things are good, but it also depends on who is using them. Not to mention that our heavy weapons are many times better than them, even the operators, those in Xintong County are no different from some novices! Bai Chun said disapprovingly.

"What does that mean?" Thunderstorm was a little confused.

"These private soldiers, who usually manage the mines for these mine owners and suppress the miners, where can they use such things as crossbows? As for trebuchets, they are all things in Xintong's arsenal, but Xintong's county soldiers, they usually do private work for the county guards, and it is rare to see their school motto once a year, and I doubt how many of those trebuchets can still be used normally! Bai Chun said disdainfully: "I have been lurking in Xintong County for three years, and the only time I have seen the school motto is the last time Prince Qin Ma Chao came to Xintong. It's been almost two years. ”

Thunderstorm smacked his lips, "Is this still an army?" Damn it, it's worse than us bandits! We also know that the fist does not leave the hand, and if you don't practice for three days, you will be rusty, and they haven't trained for several years? ”

Bai Chun'er and several captains in the room all stared at the thunderstorm, and he came back to his senses now, he was not a bandit now, but a dignified general of the Ming Empire. The old face couldn't help but blush, "I forgot my form." Such a group of local chickens and dogs is really not interesting. Okay, okay, let's just wait here with peace of mind, and after we get done over there, let's go knock on the stuffy stick again, hahaha, hahaha! ”

Not long after Chen Chu led the men and horses out of the city, Yang Zhi of Luoxing Town had already gotten the exact news, and heard that Chen Chu had brought out 20,000 people in one go, Yang Zhi was also dumbfounded, what kind of heart does it have to be to put his old nest empty and leave it behind! This time it was a cheap thunderstorm, and it was easy to take the county town.

4,000 people to 20,000 people, five to one number ratio, Yang Zhi didn't dare to be careless, especially the opponent's equipment is not bad, those strong crossbow trebuchets or something, let alone people, even if they are manipulated by dogs, they are overwhelming, and they are enough to choke.

"The lion fights the rabbit, and it also needs to use all your strength." Yang Zhi stared at the generals in the tent and said, "No matter how weak the opponent is, we have to fight them as Qi people." Wang Lu, you take 1,000 people to guard the Chenghuang Temple, Baoya Tang, you take 1,000 people to guard the Huya Beach, I led the Chinese army to defend the town, remember, the opponent will be painful, and you can't beat them all at once, after doing it for a while, they will slowly retreat, so that the enemy feels that we can't support it, and they can take us down with more strength. This can hook them forward step by step, understand? ”

"It's easy to win, but it's really difficult to pretend you can't win!" Wang Lu laughed: "Bao Yatang, don't play with it!" ”

"Such weak chickens, who have no battlefield experience, I can deal with them with my eyes closed, even if I dig a big hole in front of them, they will jump down happily." The partial general Tang Qiu, who has a mouthful of big teeth, said disdainfully.

"Alright, let's go down and prepare!" Yang Zhi waved his hand, "The hunt begins, annihilate these 20,000 grass chickens, take Xintong County City, and then let's set up a tea table on the city gate, and wait for the wind chasing camp to drink tea!" ”

The room burst into laughter. Yang Zhi also nodded with satisfaction, this heart, but it has already been lit, and then we have to see what kind of color this Xintong County soldier is.

Two days, two full days, Yang Zhicai waited for the arrival of Chen Chu's army, which made him a little helpless, from Xintong County City to Luoxing Town, less than fifty miles, these 20,000 people actually walked for two days, I really don't know if they crawled over. Standing at the highest point of the town, looking at the banners and soldiers covering the sky and the sun in the distance, Yang Zhi said angrily: "I'm blind with this good equipment." ”

Yang Zhi felt that after walking fifty miles in two days, he was climbing with a turtle, but Chen Chu and these people felt that it was already very remarkable, not to mention anything else, just the dozen or so trebuchets, how hard it would be for Baba to drag them over! The small Falling Star Town, a stone bullet smashed down, a batch of strong crossbows shot over, and then tens of thousands of people swarmed up, and the enemy was not captured?

They didn't notice that around the town, none of the Ming troops who were supposed to go to harvest grain were gone, and those crops were still growing in the fields!

In Yang Zhi's opinion, it will be all his in the future, and there is no need to harvest in a hurry!

If you want to defeat Xingzhen, you must first take the two main points of Chenghuang Temple and Huya Beach, otherwise, the two wings will be threatened, but what made Yang Zhi stunned again was that his enemy actually divided his troops into three ways, two ways to attack Chenghuang Temple and Huya Beach, and the main force actually went straight to his own Chinese army.

Fuck, don't you have anyone who really knows a little bit about military affairs to command? Yang Zhi is already powerless to complain, you divide your troops to attack, but if one of the Chenghuang Temple and Huya Beach can't be defeated, you will suffer a big loss, do you understand?

Yang Zhi stood up and shrugged, looking like this battle was easier than he expected.

"Someone came, sent an order to Wang Lu and Tang Qiu, the plan has changed."
