Chapter Seventy-Five: Luo Rucai's Ambition
Luo Rucai wanted to withdraw directly, so he had to ask Yang Su if they agreed. Yang Su had been waiting for a long time, and directly gave up Zhang Xianzhong, just to snipe Luo Rucai, naturally he would not witness Luo Rucai fade. Under the pursuit of the army, Luo Rucai was defeated. It's not that Luo Rucai's department is not elite enough, but that Yang Su's lineup is too luxurious, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too big to play. Don't look at the number of rogues, often tens of millions, but the real elite of them are only tens of thousands of people under these leaders, although the number of Ming troops is small, but they are all real professional soldiers, so in fact, the real strength gap between the two sides is not large.
And Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu can easily beat this Zhang Xianzhong and a few people, and now with the forbidden army led by Gao Qiqian, the three of them work together under the unity of Yang Su, so whether it is Zhang Xianzhong or Luo Rucai, they will withdraw when they see the first reaction of the Ming army, if Lao Huihui is not surrounded by the sudden sneak attack of the Ming army, plus Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are nearby, otherwise they will definitely not choose to fight with the Ming army.
In the Battle of Luoyang, Lu Xiangsheng led a large army to attack from the south of the city, and hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed.
Lao Huihui was directly beheaded by Qin Liangyu's array, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and went to Nanyang with the intention of escaping to Hubei to Gao Yingxiang, only Luo Rucai led the army from Jiaozuo in the north of Luoyang, and was unable to retreat before the Ming army blocked its retreat to Hubei, and also circled around Luoyang, a company was chased and killed by the Ming army for dozens of miles, from the afternoon until dark, through the dense night, Luo Rucai left the large army with his cronies, entered the mountain from the trail, and finally escaped the pursuit of the Ming army.
"Let's rest here! After running for a day and taking the Ming army around in such a big circle, we should have already got rid of them! Luo Rucai leaned against the tree in embarrassment and said to the hundreds of cronies left around him.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, today's battle is really too dangerous. In the past, the Ming army did not have such a big battle, most of the time they were divided into troops, they could not fight and could still calmly retreat, where is it like today, there are three major murderers on the opposite side of the battle, and they will not spare all the way to chase and kill to the end, if it is not for Luo Rucai to see that the situation is wrong, he took advantage of the night to decisively throw down the large army and escape, hiding in the mountains, I am afraid that now they will follow in the footsteps of the old return.
"Your Majesty, drink some water and eat some dry food! We left in a hurry and didn't bring anything, and now we only have half a day's rations left! The little boss next to him handed Luo Rucai water and dry food.
"Don't worry, everyone, we have been defeated by the Ming army not once or twice, now we have escaped from the encirclement of the Ming army, as long as we wait for us to go out of the mountain again, and then break through a small city casually, then we can eat meat in large pieces, drink wine in big bowls, want women to have women, want money and wealth, you follow me Cao Cao is afraid that there will be no good life?" Luo Rucai sat down and rested for a while, and finally came back to his senses and stood up to boost his morale.
Hearing Luo Rucai's words, the group of rogues suddenly came to their senses again, discussing what to do after they escaped.
Luo Rucai smiled with satisfaction, took a bite of dry food with water, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it, and then scolded with a cold expression, "Dog, I'm afraid we will be cheated by Zhang Xianzhong's bastard!" In vain, Lao Tzu usually helps him a little bit, so that he will not be cleaned up by King Chuang, I never thought that this bastard would sell me to the Ming army alive in order to escape for himself! ”
"Why do you say that, my lord?" The little leaders around him were puzzled.
"His mother's Zhang Xianzhong is much closer than Lao Tzu, but when Lao Tzu arrived, he was nowhere to be seen. It must be that this bastard saw that the situation was wrong, so he slipped away first, leaving Lao Tzu to block the gun for him! Luo Rucai punched the tree, shaking the whole tree squeaked, and he was still angry, and kicked the whole tree down with a few kicks, bent over and gasped and scolded, "Damn, let's escape this time and go to Shaanxi, don't let me seize the opportunity in the future, otherwise we must take revenge on him!" ”
"King, don't you go to Hubei to seek refuge in King Chuang?"
"Yes, king, didn't you say before that it is now in troubled times, and it is the time to make meritorious contributions, and you want to go south to Hubei to join King Chuang? And the last time the fairy came to you, didn't he tell you that King Chuang is the true son of heaven, and he will be the emperor in the future, what a wealth it is! Not only can you enjoy all the glory and wealth in front of you, but you can also become a god after death! Why don't we take refuge in the past now, but go to that broken place in Shaanxi? ”
The small leaders were puzzled.
"That was before, we don't have anything now, can we take refuge in the past? It's better to go to Shaanxi to accumulate strength and wait for the situation to be clear before making a decision! Luo Rucai shook his head and vetoed.
Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, he said: "At this time and that time, the posture of the Ming army now is too wrong with what I wanted to do before. It's all beaten us like this, and we are still chasing and killing! And in the past, we were facing Hong Chengchou alone, but now you see, there are Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, Qin Liangyu's White Pole Soldier and the Eunuch's Forbidden Army in Henan alone, and the Ming Dynasty is afraid that this time it will be serious! Let's take refuge in the past at this time, and if we don't have soldiers in our hands, we will definitely not be taken seriously, and we won't be killed as an outcast one day!
And you believe what the gods say? Destiny? Hum! There are more true gods, think about Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong before, were they worse than Gao Yingxiang before? Not all of them have been killed by the Ming army, what's the use of just life, then you have to be able to survive! Anyway, I'm not optimistic that King Chuang can easily pass this level! ”
Luo Rucai saw that everyone was deep in thought, and chuckled and comforted, "Don't worry, even if King Chuang can win the world, according to this posture, it is not something that can be done overnight, you don't realize how powerful the Ming army is now, and the most elite Guanning iron cavalry of the real Ming Dynasty is still in Liaodong!" We have a chance in the future, although Shaanxi is broken, but there are not many Ming troops stationed, as long as I go to Shaanxi to pull up a team of people again, then the king has to greet me well, Fenghou will definitely be indispensable, according to the gods in the heavenly palace said that after death, you can also get a god, what kind of person I Cao Cao is, you still don't know, you follow me, and after I become a god in the future, you can ascend to heaven with me after death! ”
What Luo Rucai can rely on at this time is his cronies, so he naturally does not hesitate to draw a big pie. With Luo Rucai's words, everyone's hearts settled down, and they even began to look forward to the days when they would follow Luo Rucai into the Heavenly Palace and enjoy eternal glory.
Waiting until the moon was on the branches, seeing that everyone was almost resting, Luo Ru stood up and said to everyone: "We are not safe at the moment, although the Ming army has been thrown away by us, but I am always unsteady in my heart, let's go, these two days will work hard and wait for us to get out of Henan, and then have a good rest!" ”
