Chapter 112: Officers and Soldiers and Bandits (New Book on the Shelf, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
……
Two days later, he was at Gwangju Guseongseong, hundreds of miles southeast of Shenqiu Fortress. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the city wall with the largest granary in the Huai River Valley, countless red turban battle flags are flying high, and it is obvious that this place has now been completely occupied by the red turban army.
And at the northern gate of this city, tens of thousands of troops are gathered, although these are the thief army in the eyes of the Yuanmeng court, but it has to be said that the ant people and thieves in the eyes of these officers and soldiers have their own momentum when they are assembled.
This momentum is different from the rotten atmosphere of the Yuan and Mongolian imperial court army, at this time it is full of positive and high-spirited from the inside out, although most of the soldiers here are people who have just put down their hoes, but this group of people who seem to be thin is full of morale and high spirits at this time.
Obviously, the victory of this series of battles not only brought Liu Futong a large amount of grain and grass and soldiers, but also made Liu Futong's army's belief more and more firm, after all, the stronger the confidence, the stronger the morale of the army.
And on a high platform in front of this huge army, Liu Futong, as the commander of the Red Turban Army, was riding on a handsome war horse, under the escort of more than hundreds of personal guards, watching this army that belonged to him.
Unlike Han Yan'er and Zhang Shihua, who won a difficult victory, Liu Futong personally led the most elite 5,000 soldiers under his command, and after rushing to Gushi in the south, the army he led easily won the victory in just one day.
"Although Gushi has thousands of soldiers, those wastes who are afraid of death do not have the courage to resist themselves at all after seeing the army under their command, and they have won the victory with great ease, and they have obtained all the grain and grass hoarded in Zhugao Town with great ease."
"Hey! It's just a pity that the territory under his command is still too small, and the time left for himself is too short, so that he has only recruited more than 5,000 people now, and expanded the army to 15,000 people, but even so, he has to leave, after all, it is impossible to watch the 30,000 Tartar army that is about to arrive expand his power. ”
"And to this point, only by completely defeating the 30,000 Tartar army that came to quell the rebellion, can I not be trapped by the Tartars in this land of Anhui, and I will have the opportunity to make contributions to the founding of the country and create an immortal achievement."
Thinking of such a prospect and future, even Liu Futong, who has always been calm, couldn't help but feel a burst of enthusiasm.
"I can win! I will definitely be able to create a new world! ”
Looking at the high-morale army in front of him, Liu Futong thought with great firmness in his heart.
Then he saw Liu Futong pull out the war knife on his body, hold the war knife high and roar on the war horse: "Holy Sect! Wansheng! ”
"Holy Religion! Wansheng! The general under Liu Futong raised his knife and echoed loudly.
"Holy Religion! Wansheng! Nearly 10,000 soldiers with red scarves raised their troops and shouted.
"The army marches on!" Liu Fu's general war knife pointed at the northwest direction where he could not see the enemy, and ordered in a loud voice.
And in the north of this army, which is now the base camp of the Red Turban Army - Yingzhou City, Du Zundao, who was in charge of Yingzhou City on behalf of Liu Futong, also gathered the last 3,000 soldiers of Yingzhou City and rushed towards Shenqiu City with great momentum.
Because everyone knows that the next battle will be a battle related to the life and death of the Red Turban Army, in the face of twice their own Tartar officers and soldiers, even if this group of officers and soldiers is decaying, then they must gather all their strength to ensure that they can achieve the final victory in this battle.
……
Three days later, an army of nearly 30,000 Tartars had already arrived at the boundary of Runing Mansion, that is, the Shangcai boundary closest to Shenqiu City.
Shangcai is already very close to Shenqiu City, this city is still in the hands of officers and soldiers, it is the most easternmost city under the direct jurisdiction of Runing Mansion, and it is only a short distance of more than 200 miles away from Shenqiu City, where the Red Turban Army gathered, but fortunately, when the Tartar army arrived at Shangcai City, Liu Futong also led the army under his command to Shenqiu City.
However, compared to the tense atmosphere of tens of thousands of Red Turban troops in Shenqiu City, the Tartar officers and soldiers in Shangcai City seemed much more relaxed, obviously their main generals were the same as the Privy Councillor and Bald Chi, these two Mongolian lords, did not think that the group of "brave and combative" officers and soldiers under their command would not be the opponent of that group of thieves.
And because there were too many Tartar troops, the huge number of Tartar troops could not camp in Shangcai City at all, so this incomparably large number of officers and soldiers camped in the east of Shangcai City.
There is also a saying: "There are more than 10,000 people and horses, and there is no shore and no shore." And the nearly 30,000 Tartar officers and soldiers are even more exaggerated, and the camp spread out by the 30,000 army is even larger than the area of a county like Shangcai.
However, although there were many officers and soldiers stationed in Shangcai City, so many officers and soldiers not only did not bring a sense of security to the people of Shangcai, but made the officers and soldiers more and more afraid.
Yes, it is fear, and I have to say that this huge 30,000 officers and soldiers are simply the perfect embodiment of "bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates." Because the main generals, Heguo and Bal Chi, never paid attention to official duties and never restrained their subordinates after sending troops, so these 30,000 officers and soldiers were simply more terrifying than 30,000 robbers crossing the border.
On the first day that this army came to Shangcai, two towns in Shangcai were slaughtered, and countless women were shocked and fear suddenly enveloped the entire county, and now the county lieutenant Lin Ze and the county Yin Zhangyang, who are in charge of guarding the city, only hope that this group of robbers-like army can leave here as soon as possible.
And this strong emotion is even stronger than looking forward to their arrival.
……
"Holy shit, my father and my sister are all in Liu Town! Now they're all dead, they're all dead! I'm left alone. Father! Mother! Younger sister! The second dog is not promising! I can't avenge you, dog! Don't blame the children! ”
In a barracks on the east side of Shangcai City, a man in a military uniform howled and cried like crazy after getting drunk.
And his cry naturally attracted other soldiers in the barracks, some soldiers who didn't know Liu Ergou couldn't help but ask curiously to the other soldiers next to Liu Ergou after seeing Liu Ergou's appearance: "What's wrong with this guy, why is it like the whole family is dead?" ”
A soldier who knew what was going on, when he heard this, couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey! Isn't it? Ergouzi He is from Liu Zhen, and now Liu Zhen is estimated to be left with Ergouzi himself, can he not cry! ”
"Liu Zhen!" A soldier gritted his teeth and said: "The group of dogs outside the city, one by one, are more damn than the robbers, and the towns of Liu Town and Qiao Township slaughtered the town because they didn't let them take away the women in the town." ”
"Hey! ~~" The surrounding soldiers obviously knew about it, but they could only sigh helplessly, after all, the people who ordered the slaughter of the town said that it was ten thousand households, and such an adult couldn't even be provoked by the county master, let alone a small person like them at the bottom.
So after they sighed, they helped Liu Ergou, who was crying on the ground, into the house, as for letting Liu Ergou and those people discuss the law and work hard, they didn't dare to think about it, after all, even Xue Baihu, who was born in Qiao Township, could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, not to mention them.
After all, they are not men who have no blood to take revenge, but these men are all dead without exception, and even the corpses are hung on the camp outside the city, and because of this incident, the two adults of the county Yin and the county lieutenant almost lost their officials, in such a situation, what else can they do but endure them!
