Volume 3 Turbulent Central Plains

Chapter 2: The Crisis of Hunger Gathering

Section 13 A great victory

Liu Yunwei led the Longxiang Iron Cavalry to rush back and forth for a while, and the thieves who fled to the front of the camp all scattered and fled, all screaming and fleeing, and those who ran slowly were cut down on the spot by the fierce Iron Cavalry soldiers. From a distance, the whole battle was like a one-sided massacre, brutal and bloody.

And the soldiers of the Feiyu Department led by Lu Ying also moved forward bravely, constantly driving the panicked thieves in the direction of the camp, and driving these defeated soldiers who had already collapsed to the butcher's knife of the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry. The soldiers of the Flying Feather Tribes had already formed a flanking attack with the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry, and launched the final strangulation against the tens of thousands of thieves.

In this way, the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion have been fighting for an hour or so, seeing that the eastern sky has turned white, a round of sunrise is about to rise, and the army of tens of thousands of thieves has run all over the mountains, and the tens of thousands of thieves who originally stayed in the camp of thieves have already disarmed and surrendered. Liu Yunwei fought for a while, and then shouted: "Let them surrender!" Surrender or kill! ”

After hearing Liu Yunwei's shout, the Longxiang Iron Cavalry warriors shouted loudly; Soon, Lu Ying also commanded the soldiers of the Feiyu Department to shout loudly, and they all shouted and ordered the nearby thieves to disarm and surrender.

In the face of the extremely strong officers and soldiers, in the face of the battle that had no chance of winning, almost all the rogue soldiers chose to surrender. I saw tens of thousands of thieves throwing their weapons on the ground under the light of the rising sun, and then went to the thieves' camp under the command of the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion to wait for disposal, and at this time there were already more than 40,000 captives in the thieves' camp waiting for disposal. The originally majestic camp of thieves became a prisoner of war camp in the blink of an eye, and it is a pity that the world is impermanent.

At this time, sixty or seventy thousand captives had gathered in the camp of thieves, and Rao is Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying were determined, and after seeing the boundless captives, they couldn't stop beating drums in their hearts, and beads of sweat couldn't stop dripping on their foreheads.

"Big brother, our number is too small, and the number of these captives is too much, if something goes wrong, we can't control the scene, and then it will inevitably be another fight." Lu Ying said worriedly.

Liu Yunwei also smiled bitterly and said: "Let's try our best to watch these captives first, I didn't expect that our battle would be won so smoothly, annihilating 100,000 enemy troops in one battle!" Immediately send someone to inform Wu Xing to rush here to join us immediately, and at the same time send someone to inform the defenders of Longmen Pass. ”

Lu Ying nodded and went to make arrangements, and after a while, he came back and said, "By the way, big brother, what are you going to do with these captives?" ”

Liu Yunwei frowned when he heard this, and said: "Let's wait until these prisoners are handed over to Henan Mansion after the war, we don't have the ability to deal with so many prisoners, and it was already very difficult to digest the Dengfeng refugees before digestion, and we don't have such a great ability for the time being." ”

Lu Ying sighed and said, "Yes, we can't control so many people now, otherwise the strength of our Hanwei Camp will be able to reach the sky in one step!" These captives are tens of thousands of troops with a little training, and they are really reluctant to give up! ”

"Take your time, it's not necessarily a good thing to expand too fast, it's not bad to be greedy." Liu Yunwei comforted: "Let's go on step by step, and one day we will return to Liaodong!" ”

As he was talking, Jiang Wentian walked over with a few pieces of paper and said, "General Qiyu, President Lu Qian, the situation of this battle has been roughly counted. In the battle of Longmen Pass, our Hanwei battalion annihilated about 50,000 thieves, captured more than 60,000 people, and beheaded Yu Shiqian, the general of the right wing of the thieves, but Wang Kuilu, the general of the left wing of the thieves, took advantage of the chaos and fled; In this battle, the Longxiang Iron Cavalry lost a total of 112 soldiers, and the Feiyu Department lost a total of 471 soldiers. In addition, 5,000 stone of grain and some other baggage were found in the camp of the thieves, and the specific amount is being counted. ”

Lu Ying was overjoyed after hearing this, and said: "Big brother, we have won a big battle, I think we should report to the Henan Mansion and the Ministry of War immediately!" ”

Liu Yunwei was also very happy, but he didn't make a decision immediately, but thought about it for a while, and finally said, "No! Although we are temporarily assigned to Henan Prefecture for dispatch, we are a guest army after all, and we should still directly belong to the Ministry of War in terms of establishment. Therefore, let's report the victory directly to the Ministry of War and ignore Henan Mansion! ”

"Big brother, is it appropriate for us to do this?" Lu Ying asked.

Liu Yunwei said nonchalantly: "Very suitable!" Then Henan Prefecture has governed the splendid Central Plains into a disaster where displaced people are everywhere and thieves are rampant, what should I do with such waste? Do you want me to give them the merits of the battle? Let's report the victory directly to the Ministry of War, and we won't leave any credit to the mediocre officials of Henan Mansion! ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Yunwei wrote a good news and sent it directly to Beijing. In the evening of the same day, Wu Xing led the main army of the Hanwei battalion to the thief camp, and for a time the thief camp was overcrowded, and the soldiers of the Hanwei camp plus the thieves were captured, and the number of people on both sides had reached about 130,000, so that Liu Yunwei had to set up another camp next to the thief camp.

At the same time, the news of the great victory at Longmen Pass also spread through the defenders of Longmen Pass, and within a few days, Henan Mansion and Henan Political Envoy Division (Henan Mansion is the next level of Henan Political Envoy Division) received the news; These civil officials, who were so anxious before, sent people to the Hanwei camp to discuss the success of the news as soon as they received the news, but they were all blasted out of the camp by Liu Yunwei.

And Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh after receiving the good news from Longmen Pass, and said: "Haha, I really want to see the expression of Fang Ge Lao now, it must be very exciting!" ”

After that, Huang Jiashan rewarded the Hanwei camp in the name of the military department, and at the same time entered the palace to play a face to the seriously ill Emperor Wanli. After Emperor Wanli received the good news from Longmen Pass, his long-ill face seemed to be back to the light, glowing with a hint of ruddy, looking at the folds in his hand, and muttered: "Okay! Annihilated 100,000 thieves in World War I, this Liu Yunwei really lived up to my hopes, and the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion really lived up to my hopes! ”

Seeing that Emperor Wanli was in a good mood, Huang Jiashan asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you haven't thought about the reward for Liu Guerrilla, and I want to ask Your Majesty to show it, so that the reward can be sent down as soon as possible to boost the hearts of the front-line soldiers." ”

Emperor Wanli didn't seem to hear it, he still looked at it by himself, and after a long time, he said slowly: "I remember that Yiyang is still under siege by the army of thieves, right?" ”

Huang Jiashan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the siege of Yiyang has indeed not been resolved, and the minister has already urged Henan Mansion to mobilize heavy troops to relieve the siege, and it must not be long before the good news can be transmitted." ”

"No need, let Henan Prefecture mobilize all the local garrisons and make every effort to ensure that Luoyang is not lost. Spread my will, transfer the Hanwei battalion to the west to relieve the siege of Yiyang, and order the guerrilla general Liu Yunwei to take the order without delay! ”

Huang Jiashan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he still answered at the first time, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, as for the commendation of the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion and Liu Guerrilla......

"I'm tired, stand down."

Two days later, off the coast of Tianjin.

Since Qian Mingli's fleet left Hao Jing O, it sailed all the way north to the waters near Tianjin, and Yuan Mingxuan was talking to Ma Wu in a cabin at this time.

"Lord Yuan, are you really not going back to Lushun with me?" Ma Wu asked.

Yuan Mingxuan nodded and said, "Now that the things that the little general gave me have been done, there is no point in going back to Lushun, it can only add some trouble to the money clerk." After the horse steward goes back, make a gift to the money clerk for me, and when I return to Liaodong with the little general in the future, I will personally ask the money clerk for the guilt. ”

"Lord Yuan is serious." Ma Wu hurriedly said: "Actually, this trip to Haojingao is not a complete one, I only found dozens of craftsmen for adults, and I also made a disaster like the cloth shopkeeper, which is really ashamed." ”

Yuan Mingxuan was unimpressed and said: "This is not the responsibility of the shopkeeper, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

The two then spoke for a while, when the sailors outside cried out, "See land!" We're almost to Tianjin Wei! ”

An hour later, Yuan Mingxuan and Cheng Shiyong took the remaining 100 soldiers and dozens of firearms craftsmen ashore in Tianjinwei, while Ma Wu said goodbye to Yuan Mingxuan, led the fleet to replenish some supplies and continued to sail north.

Cheng Shiyong looked at the crowded dock and said to Yuan Mingxuan: "Lord Yuan, where are we going now?" ”

Yuan Mingxuan thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Tianjin City to live first and see if we can find out about the little general." If we really can't find out, we can only take a detour to Jingshi, and from Master Li Linbin, we should be able to know where the little general has arrived. ”

So, everyone went into the city and found an inn to stay, and just as everyone was about to go to the backyard guest room to rest, they suddenly heard several diners saying things like "great victory" and "Hanwei camp".

Yuan Mingxuan suddenly came to his senses, and he stepped forward to talk. After chatting for a while, Yuan Mingxuan laughed out loud and said to everyone: "Haha, let's rest for one night today and go to Henan Mansion tomorrow!" ”

Cheng Shiyong asked curiously, "Lord Yuan knows where the little general has arrived?" ”

Yuan Mingxuan said with a smile: "Haha, our little general is really a unicorn tiger, the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion just won a battle in Henan Mansion and annihilated 100,000 thieves in one battle!" Now the name of our Hanwei Camp is known all over the world! ”

When they heard this, they were all overjoyed.
