Chapter 707: Chase and Fight
Gao Yingxiang used to sell horses as a business, the bow horse is skillful and strong, good at packaging himself, when he goes into battle, the white robe and white scarf are very stylish, and he takes the lead in battle, and he is very popular with the army.
The burly and dignified Gao "Chuang Wang" sells much stronger than Li Zicheng, who later succeeded him, and his wife does not steal people.
Gao Yingxiang relied on the more than 10,000 ironclad cavalry he had accumulated, and every time he faced off with the official army, he was invincible, but it was a pity that these copycat cavalry were embarrassed when they met real knights.
It was the Black Tiger and Lu Chengzu brought seven or eight thousand "God of War" cavalry to exert their might, and they ran thousands of miles to rest in two echelons, and the cavalry at least guaranteed that one person and two horses were transferred, and there were always more than 3,000 iron horsemen trailing with Gao Yingxiang's horse team chasing and fighting.
The combat effectiveness and equipment of the Liukou cavalry are too different from the "God of War" knights, and the quality of their horses is also different in grade, not because the horse breed is not good but malnourished, where the war horses like the "God of War" cavalry are like calves.
The discipline of the rogues is quite bad, and most of the cavalry belong to the veteran oil, and they find that they are bitten by the "God of War" instead of working together to turn back and fight with the enemy, but flee in despair than equestrianism.
The army without ideals was really rubbish, and the rogue cavalry was only wiped out by two or three percent, and the rest of the men and horses were scattered, some went up the mountain and fell into the grass to become kings, some surrendered to the official army, and some went away to the northwest.
The thief leader Gao Yingxiang was unwilling to fail, and actually led his henchmen to launch a Jedi counterattack in Meridian Valley, but unfortunately the black tiger, black panther, black bear, etc. against him were all cavalry generals who had lived on horseback since childhood.
The "God of War" knights mix and match hot and cold weapons, even if Gao Yingxiang's guard cavalry are heavily armored, there is nothing to be done about it, a vicious battle is not thrilling or dangerous, the black tiger is unwilling to cause a large number of casualties in the melee with the rogue, and adopts the tactics of directly taking the Chinese army for decapitation action.
Black Tiger and Rogue do this most of the time when they fight, because he finds that most of the Rogue choose to flee when they see the main general's queue being dispersed, and few choose to rescue the main general.
There were no accidents in the battle of Meridian Valley, Gao Yingxiang's Chinese army was disrupted by a surprise attack by the Black Tiger, and Gao Yingxiang, who found that the situation was not right and wanted to retreat, found that the road had been blocked by the fleeing command.
Of course, setting up a battlefield in the Meridian Valley is a matter of course, and if you don't succeed, how easy is it to escape?
Gao Yingxiang, who was originally determined to fight with the "God of War" cavalry in this Jedi, found that he was too idealistic, and he overestimated the combat effectiveness and combat will of his old battalion ironclad guards.
When he found that the cavalry of the "God of War" was brave and unstoppable, Gao Yingxiang shook his confidence in fighting to the death, and it was ......too late to escape.
In the final result, Black Tiger Le Hehe captured the chief scoop of the seventy-two Tiangang "King Chuang" and his henchmen Liu Zhe, Huang Long and so on.
The black tiger was unwilling to cause too many senseless sacrifices under his command, and immediately withdrew his troops after capturing the enemy chieftain, and did not search for the remnants of Gao Yingxiang who fled all over the mountains and fields.
Black Tiger, Lu Chengzu and other generals all knew that the rogue was endless, and the common people who had no food could not get hope, and everyone could become a rogue coward.
Therefore, although the rogues were defeated, there were not too many people killed, and when they met the "God of War" who were unwilling to cause too many killings, they could barely be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
At the end of June of the 11th year of Chongzhen, the emperor saw the good news of the king of the south and learned that Zhang Xianzhong and his ilk had been wiped out, and he immediately went to the Taimiao Temple to comfort the ancestors and ancestors.
At the beginning of July, Shanxi sent another report of success, and Gao Yingxiang, the biggest leader of the rogues, was captured, which is a frequent success!
The excited emperor was rarely drunk, this may be the only time Chongzhen was drunk, and what he drank was the tribute sent to the palace by Cai'er, the best West Wind Fierce produced by the Huang family.
The upper class of the Ming Dynasty is now fashionable to use "Nanming" products, and if there is no flush toilet at home, it will be regarded as a dirt bun.
Because Chongzhen was diligent and thrifty, the use in the court was not extravagant, but Huang Sheng always thought that no one needed to suffer the emperor if he suffered, so many new things were given to the emperor as tribute.
In fact, Huang Sheng does not suffer a loss, the value of the good things commonly used in the palace in the folk is of course doubled, and the sales staff will tell the customer, "What is used in Kunning Palace...... and what is used in the decoration of the Taihe Palace, and what is in the decoration ...... Taihe Palace." ”
are all good things for the queen, of course, they are favored by dignitaries, and Huang Sheng's company will of course gain fame and fortune.
On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the envoy of the "Southern Ming" Nguyen Dan came to Gyeonggi with a tributary delegation and presented his credentials, which was courteous and thoughtful.
Emperor Chongzhen read the contents of the national letter, and his heart fluctuated for a while, and he looked at the south from afar, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
It was the "Nanming" king who was preparing to launch a war to restore the homeland of the Ming Dynasty, because this time it was a war to destroy the country, and a lot of troops needed to be used, so the king of the South asked to withdraw all the soldiers of the "God of War" who were still serving in the Ming Dynasty to gather in Yunnan.
Due to the "Nanming" system in the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles of troops, the king of the south was worried that the Holy Son of Heaven would misunderstand, so he specially asked for an order.
Chongzhen suddenly felt that it was difficult to choose, he was afraid of the "God of War" system of elite soldiers, and now the king of the south wants to call them all to regain the Ming abandoned land in the coming year, but Chongzhen feels that his heart is up and down, but he has a small feeling of reluctance.
Life is like this, nine times out of ten, I can't keep him when I want to stay, and I don't want him to come to the city when I don't want him to appear.
The emperor knew that the soldiers of the "God of War" were all paid by the "Nanming", and most of the young people also lived in the territory of the "Nanming".
It is useless for the Ming Dynasty to keep these soldiers, they will not be loyal to themselves.
Besides, the "God of War" people and horses have high salaries and good benefits, and Daming can't afford it at all. Helpless, let them go back!
The land of the Ming Dynasty lacks the "God of War" soldiers and horses, and it is a blessing and a curse? No one can predict.
The Shanxi Liukou was wiped out, and now that it is in the final stage, Hong Chengchou can't afford to keep the "God of War" and these people who are paid high military salaries, and agrees to let them go south.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Chengzu and Heihu, who returned to the station, left a part of the soldiers belonging to the Ming army, and led the "God of War" descendants to Huguang in the south, with nearly 10,000 men and horses.
Finally able to fight side by side with the head of the family, the two are as excited as children who have been away from home for a long time and are on the way home.
Huang Sheng has already obtained more than 30 million Hanmin, and the strategic goal has been fully achieved.
In fact, Huang Sheng got so many Han people, which does not mean that he carved up so many people of the Ming Dynasty, because these populations were also lost by the Ming Dynasty in history.
Some of them died at the hands of Jiannu, some were plagued by the rogues, some died of famine, plague, cannibalism, and some even died at the hands of officials and soldiers.
After the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty, it is conservatively estimated that 70 million to 100 million Han people died, and of course at least half of these people were killed by Jiannu.
