Chapter 26: Half-Crossing Strike

If it weren't for Liu Heizi's scruples about Li Guo, and Gao Yihuan's attitude, he would definitely kick Gao Yihuan again, or pull him out and cut him directly.

In the tent, Liu Er and Wang Jiaping are Liu Heizi's henchmen, naturally no one supports the second brother Gao, and the second brother has no intention of persuading him again, as long as Liu Heizi doesn't pull him to go.

Liu Heizi's men and horses are like that, even if they die, there is no pity for Liu Heizi, it doesn't matter if he fights, but the second brother's men and horses, but it took a lot of effort to bring them up, if there are heavy casualties, not to mention that it takes time to retrain, he has no luck to catch Fan Dongling again.

Liu Heizi glanced at Gao Yihuan with disdain, and said angrily, "King Chuang besieged Kaifeng for half a year, and I didn't see a single Ming army dare to come to relieve the siege, so they were already frightened." Now that we have more than 100,000 people heading south, how can the Ming army compete with us. ”

Saying that, Liu Heizi deliberately stared at the second brother Gao, and said word by word: "Pass Lao Tzu's order, early tomorrow morning, Wang Jiaping, you go first, Liu Er will follow, Lao Zi will occupy Sui County first, and then take Ningling County."

Early the next morning, Wang Jiaping led the people to go first, and after a while, Liu Er also led the people to catch up.

What Gao Yihuan didn't expect was that in addition to Liu Heizi, several other teams also set off early in the morning, and it seemed that they all wanted to take Sui County.

Gao Yihuan also wanted to rush to the front, so as to loot some money and food, but reason overcame the greed in his heart.

He knows a little about the history of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, but he is not detailed, he only knows the years of some major events and the fate of the big names left in history.

He remembered the saying, "The court is dead and the Ming is dead!" ”

This shows that the defeat of Sun Chuanting was an important event in the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Right now, Sun Chuanting has just arrived in Shaanxi, not only is he alive and well, but he is also thinking about training to extinguish the rogue, which means that the Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the last moment, so he feels that he should not be too arrogant and be cautious.

The second brother Gao felt that the Ming Dynasty still had some strength, and it was not to the point where anyone could bully him, so he couldn't despise the Ming army at this time.

Moreover, he happily collected the corpse under the city, but when he was fattened, he was pulled to be cannon fodder, and the city was opened.

Now he counts at most a chess piece, not even a chess piece, and he must be careful with every move and not be reckless.

However, there are not many people who can think like the second brother after all, for the various tribes, the money and food in Sui County is undoubtedly a huge temptation, and when the second brother pulls out the camp, there are already more than ten people and horses, rushing south.

There are more than 100,000 people in Xiao Yuan's camp, walking all over the mountains, although they are all homeless, but after all, they are all people with weapons.

The gathering of so many men and horses is enough to give people courage, and most people think that the officials and troops have already retreated to Shangqiu.

After a large group of people slowly pulled out, the second brother led his subordinates and continued to move south.

By the afternoon, Sui County appeared in front of the team, the gate of the county seat was wide open, there were a few corpses lying outside, wisps of green smoke rose from the flags scattered on the ground, half of a Ming character was burned, and Sui County had been captured by the men and horses who set off first.

The city was occupied by several rebels, the huge county town was eerily quiet, the entire city was looted, and the residents either ran away early or were killed by the rogues.

The second brother Gao was already numb to death, but he still didn't dare to enter the city, and just asked his subordinates to be stationed outside the city.

Early the next morning, more than a dozen more groups of men and horses went south first.

When they saw that the people in front of them had sacked Sui County and had not caught anything, they were worried that all the benefits would be taken by the people who went first, so they chased after them with some red eyes.

After Gao Yihuan packed up step by step, he moved forward unhurriedly.

He was also a little anxious, but if the official army really received the news of their southward movement, they were afraid of their strength and chose to shrink towards Shangqiu.

The vast majority of the money, food, and rich people must have also hid in Shangqiu City, so he still has a chance, so there is no need to rush for a while.

At this time, Gao Yihuan led the four guards to the front, and at about noon, a group of figures appeared in front of them, among which there were more than a dozen soldiers wrapped in green scarves, and they were standing by the river surrounded by this armor general, which was Liu Heizi and his party.

Between Sui County and Ningling County, there is a Sui Shui, which separates the east and west of the two counties, but due to the drought, the water level is very shallow, and many soldiers of the small Yuan camp are wading across the river, and Liu Heizi stayed on the west bank because he grabbed a lot of things in Sui County.

Gao Yihuan didn't see Wang Jiaping and Liu Er's people, they should have passed Suishui.

At this time, Liu Heizi also discovered Gao Yihuan and his gang, and immediately beckoned and shouted for him to pass.

Gao Yihuan led more than 100 people over, and saw more than a dozen men from the First Brigade, looking at several carts, which were piled with bags of grain, and a few locked wooden boxes, which should be filled with silver.

Liu Heizi was standing in an open area, there were many soldiers by the river who were building a wooden bridge, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Gao Yihuan coming, deliberately letting him see his smile.

What do you think? Lao Tzu defeated Sui County, and robbed so many things, did you meet the Ming army?

The military exploits of Sui County this time belong to Lao Tzu, and the things he grabbed are also Lao Tzu's, and he will not give you a penny.

Liu Heizi had a smug look on his face and pointed to the harvest, "Gaozhang Brigade, how is it?" ”

Gao Yihuan didn't answer him, he stared at the Suishui in front of him and found that many people had already waded to the other side.

The soldiers who crossed the river did not stop, but rushed to Ningling County, for fear that others would take the lead and take Ningling City first.

Gao Yihuan saw a few green flags in front of him from a distance, which should be Wang Jiaping and others, and the soldiers on the west bank saw that the people and horses on the other side had gone to the southeast, and they were anxiously wading across the river, afraid that there would be no soup left.

The original bridge on the river was artificially demolished, and Xiao Yuanying had rebuilt a wooden bridge on the basis of the wreckage, and people and horses were crowding across the river.

When Gao Yihuan saw this scene, he looked up into the distance, which was an undulating hill, and couldn't help frowning: "Du Wei, how many Ming troops are there in Guide, and who is in command, have you ever figured it out?" As he spoke, Gao Yihuan pointed to the other side of the river, "This place is too easy to be hit by Bandu." ”

In the hills on the other side of the river, thousands of officers and soldiers hid in the woods, and behind the hills there were nearly a thousand cavalry.

There were more than 3,000 men and horses, about a battalion of soldiers, and they were hidden in the hills with half-rolled banners, and the soldiers were armed with weapons, and their eyes were fixed on the Liukou crossing the river, without making a sound.

A civil official in a green robe stood next to a Ming general wearing a mountain-patterned Kai, and arched his hand: "General soldier Liu, the thieves are menacing, and the people who return to Germany rely on General Soldier Liu to kill the thieves."

The Ming general is Liu Liangzuo, the general soldier, who originally fought Zhang Xianzhong with Huang Degong, but was only transferred to Henan in recent times as one of the soldiers and horses to aid Bianzhulu.

"It's good to say, as long as Lord Liang prepares money and food, the matter of killing thieves will naturally be duty-bound." Liu Liangzuo waved his hand arrogantly, looked at the west bank, and said casually.

At this time, he saw another group of elite troops coming from the west bank, so he hurriedly took out his beloved monocular clairvoyant to watch, and his eyes fell on Gao Yihuan and his group. Liu Liangzuo put down the clairvoyant mirror, thinking that the leader of the army had arrived, so he sneered on his face, "Sons, get ready!" ”

On the west bank of Suishui, Liu Heizi chuckled: "The Ming army of Guide is only three or four thousand people, there are so many of us, what are you afraid of?" ”

Gao Yihuan was patient, "This place is separated by water, once it is attacked, the east bank will be defeated, and the west bank will be defeated when it sees the east bank, and then it will be rushed by the chaotic army, it will inevitably be defeated." If there are more cavalry in the Ming army, then we will all be finished. ”

Liu Heizi was going to let Gao Yihuan see his gains, but after listening to his words, he became angry again, "You dare to curse Lao Tzu......"

Liu Heizi was about to reprimand Gao Yihuan, when a trumpet suddenly came from the east bank, which shocked Liu Heizi's face with a stunned face.
