Chapter 387: Remorse
Luo Ru is a native of Yan'an Mansion in northern Shaanxi, and in history at the end of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, at the latest at the beginning of the first year of Chongzhen, he gathered people to make trouble, uncovered the pole and rebelled, and then developed rapidly.

However, in this time and space, after he rebelled in northern Shaanxi, he met the imperial Shi Ma Maocai, the superintendent of Yansui Town, and recruited a large number of people in Yan'an Mansion to settle in Ganquanyu, which alleviated the originally very serious famine in Yan'an Mansion at that time, and made him lose an opportunity to develop and grow rapidly.
Later, Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang and other heavy thieves would attack Yan'an City, and Luo Rucai also led his minions to Yan'an City to "participate in the grand event".
As a result, these people not only failed to take Yan'an Fucheng, but were defeated by the pursuing Yansui Town officials and troops.
Luo Rucai fled all the way south in the team of Wang Jiayin and Wang Zuohang, although he was spared, but the hundreds of minions under his command lost most of them, and there were only about 100 people left, so he could only be a small leader who came to defect under Wang Jiayin.
When the thieves in Guanzhong were exterminated, and the thieves in northern Shaanxi were almost unable to mix, these people fled to Shanxi, and Luo Rucai naturally followed.
After arriving in Shanxi, the team under his command increased slightly, and after Wang Jiayin became the king and the thief army divided into the mountains, Luo Ru finally mixed up and became one of the leaders under the command of the right prime minister.
For the thief abandoned the county town of Shilou, Luo Rucai invited himself to go to garrison, and found Zhang Guoxing's department where he led the people to the north, and then soon returned to the Guangwuzhuang thief's nest on the Guangwu Ridge at the western foot of Luliang Mountain, and presented Wang Ziyong with a plan to lure the enemy to go deep into the gate and beat the dog, and personally used it as a bait to attract the official army to pursue.
To his slight disappointment, however, the ploy had only been half the success so far.
Because at least half of the soldiers and horses are still in Shilou County, and they have not come out.
Only then did he come up with a plan, ready to surround and slow down, waiting for the officers and soldiers who had lagged behind before to escape back to report for help, and then wipe out the officials and troops in Shilou County.
After Luo Rucai finished saying his idea, Wang Ziyong immediately adopted it, and then asked people to order the unfinished thief army in the forest on both sides of the mountain road to continue to ambush, and at the same time let those thieves who had already entered the mountain road and besieged Zhang Wen and Wu Rong's officers and troops try to persuade them to surrender.
Luo Rucai and Wang Ziyong's plan had been decided, and it didn't take long for the battle in the mountain road to no longer be so fierce.
And this also gave Zhang Wen and Wu Rong's officers and soldiers an illusion, thinking that their brave fighting was useful, thinking that what they encountered was just a part of the thieves, and thinking that there was still hope of breaking out of the encirclement.
Therefore, Zhang Wen and Wu Rong waved their swords to kill the retreating thief army, and at the same time ordered them to rush out of the encircled command and quickly ask for reinforcements.
And Luo Rucai and Wang Ziyong stood in the mountains and forests in the distance, smiling fiercely.
The thieves brought by Wang Ziyong are indeed one of the thieves under Wang Jiayin, but this one is not three or five thousand people, but more than twenty thousand.
Even if a group of rabble has average combat power, but when it comes to Zhang Guoxing's department, the advantage of this bandit in numbers is also overwhelming.
Half an hour passed.
Zhang Wen and Wu Rong still kept cheering up the besieged troops under their command and encouraging them to continue fighting.
And the thief army that surrounded and attacked before and after also came up with a wave of offensive, and when they encountered a little strong resistance, they quickly retreated, and then after accumulating a group of thieves, they came to another wave of offensive.
Although Zhang Wen and Wu Rong's officers and troops were exhausted, they always kept their last hope.
Finally, Zhang Wen saw from a distance the figures of the officers and soldiers appeared on the top of the hillside where he encountered the thief army, reflecting the divine light under the light of the setting sun.
Zhang Wen and his subordinates immediately cheered loudly when they saw the reinforcements of their own army, and regained a huge force, causing the thieves who were surrounded in front of them to retreat again and again, not daring to step forward.
Looking at the battlefield in the valley down the hillside, listening to the cheers from his own officials and soldiers in the distance, Zhang Guoxing was excited, and finally felt that his decision this time was not wrong, it was the right one!
Zhang Guoxing, who was riding on a tall horse, gritted his teeth, looked around left and right, and said fiercely: "The brothers of the Shaanxi army who are surrounded below!" Who dares to say a word of not saving him, Lao Tzu killed him! ”
After saying this, Zhang Guoxing suddenly pulled out a long knife and shouted: "Follow me!" ”
Then take the lead and ride your horse down to the valley below!
Zhong Dewu, who was standing on the side, wanted to shout something, but before he could shout, the two thousand officers and soldiers behind him rushed down the slope with him!
The slope of the hill is twists and turns, and the slope is not steep, but every time he runs down, Zhong Dewu can feel a bit of danger!
Zhong Dewu, who was familiar with the terrain of nearby mountains and rivers, resolutely opposed Zhang Guoxing leading the army to come to the rescue.
But he could only be speechless when he asked what to do if he didn't come to the rescue.
If Zhang Guoxing hadn't taken the initiative to ask him, he wouldn't even have a place to speak in front of the generals.
At that time, the 2,000 Shaanxi officers and soldiers who stayed in Shilou County, who would listen to him as an outsider?
In the face of the turbulent situation, even Zhang Guoxing, the head of the town, could not say a word lightly.
What's more, Zhang Guoxing, the general soldier of Shaanxi, is still one of the people who advocate coming to the rescue?
What if you don't come to the rescue, can you sit back and watch more than a thousand officers and soldiers of the station being killed by thieves who are several times their size!?
Zhang Guoxing couldn't answer this question, and Zhong Dewu couldn't answer either.
As for the remaining Shaanxi officers and soldiers, those who think that they should not come to the rescue, they cannot answer this question.
Of course, if Zhang Zongheng, the envoy of Shanxi, was present, with his status as an envoy and the prudence of civil officials, there might still be a chance to reverse, but unfortunately, saving people is like fighting fire, and Zhang Guoxing did not wait for Zhang Zongheng to arrive at the stone tower and set off.
When Zhang Guoxing and his subordinates insisted on coming to the rescue, all Zhong Dewu could do was to remind Zhang Guoxing to ask Zhang Zongheng, the Shanxi envoy, to bring his 2,000 Shanxi township soldiers to rescue the besieged officers and soldiers.
Zhang Guoxing agreed.
It's just that Yongheguan is forty or fifty miles away from Shilou County, and he sent someone to report the news, waiting for Zhang Zongheng to bring people to come, so it would take two hours to come and go, and the besieged officers and soldiers would have died in battle.
This is the idea of Zhang Guoxing and his generals Jia Qi, Li Xing and others.
And at this moment, the hearts of these people are full of remorse.
As soon as they rushed down the hillside, dispersed the large group of thieves in front of them, and joined Zhang Wen and Wu Rong's subordinates, they heard the drums in the surrounding mountains and forests, and in an instant, the shouts resounded through the mountains and forests!
"The dog officers and soldiers have been tricked! Kill the officers and soldiers! ”
Luo Rucai, nicknamed Cao Cao, was the first to shout this slogan, and then this slogan spread all around.
After several rounds of dense rain of arrows, nearly 20,000 thieves and rebels emerged from the forest and bushes not far from the mountain road, and swarmed down the mountain with all kinds of rudimentary weapons.
At this time, how can Zhang Guoxing not know that he has really fallen into the trap this time!
But it was too late to know, for in a short time, the mountains, which had been relatively calm, were now full of ragged but hateful enemies.
Before, Zhang Guoxing led his command to chase more than ten miles of undulating mountain roads, and more than 300 cavalry under his command could continue to fight, while the remaining infantry were already out of breath.
In addition, these hundreds of steps downhill rushed down, although they successfully defeated a large number of thieves in front of them, but they also used up the kinetic energy of the cavalry impact, and the speed slowed down, crowded in the mountain road, and there was not much difference with the infantry.
Zhang Guoxing has been in the army for many years, although he has never fought any wars, but he still has a little military literacy, but he didn't expect that there was really an ambush.
However, the three words "I didn't expect" have killed many people since ancient times!
Seeing this situation, Zhang Wen and Wu Rong also reacted, the thief army stopped and stopped, attacked and retreated, and was repelled dozens of attacks by them, not because they were really so brave and invincible, but because the whole thing was a trap, they were used as bait to lure Zhang Guoxing to come!
After suddenly figuring out this, Zhang Wen and Wu Rong, the two rough men, regretted and hated, and instantly burst out with extraordinary power, waving the saber in their hands and rushing to the place where the enemy was the most.
"Lord Chief, I can't help you! I'm sorry brethren! ”
The two of them rushed forward while crying and shouting, and were soon overwhelmed by the sea of thieves swarming down the mountain.
