Chapter 398: Field Battle on the Outskirts of Beijing

readx;

Zhu Qing led hundreds of thousands of troops to enter Kaifeng City at dusk. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Kaifeng people welcome the road. Among these people, there are many Kaifeng people, who were forced to participate in Li Zicheng's uprising for their livelihood, and now the army is recruited, and it coincides with Kaifeng as a key area of land reform. Luo Shi, the wife of Shen Hui, the deputy general of the Great Western Army, hugged her son Shen Ping'an and went out to greet her, and the family hugged each other tightly and was excited. It was raining on the morning of parting, and none of them believed that there would be a day when they would meet again. However, now Zhu Qing not only brought Shen Hui back, but also returned to his hometown in fine clothes, Shen Hui rode a high-headed horse, which was even more majestic than when he was with Zhang Xianzhong.

"General Qinglong is really a great benefactor of the people of Kaifeng!" Luo Shi was deeply in love, and knelt in front of Zhu Qing with his son, and others also knelt down when they saw this, especially those family members who had relatives who were soldiers in the army, and they were finally able to see their relatives, and they were even more grateful to Zhu Qing.

"Folks, please get up. Zhao'an is the policy of the imperial court, and it is the emperor's grace, is it the work of my Zhu Qing alone? Everyone, please get up, you are tormenting Zhu Qing. Seeing this, Zhu Qing hurriedly persuaded Luo and the others.

Those generals who broke into the army never expected that Zhu Qing and Jinyiwei would be so popular in Kaifeng, and they seemed to understand the important reason why Kaifeng could not be attacked for a long time.

Even the sleek herald Liu Gonggong couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene, and sighed, "Hey, I heard that the Jinyi Guards are no longer the same Jinyi Guards as before, and our inner servants feel that it is just the Jinyi Guards themselves adding oil and vinegar, and when I see them today, I know that we are so ignorant and narrow-minded, and they are trying to fish in troubled waters, ashamed!" ”

"Hmph, Gonggong Liu, it's not too late to rein in the precipice, this is also the reason why General Qinglong instructed us to protect our lords." After listening to Gonggong Liu's words, Baihu smiled slightly.

"We don't dare to make a mistake." Gonggong Liu said, clasping his fists to the generals of Jinyiwei.

"White Tiger, you take the adults back to the house to make good arrangements." persuaded the onlookers, Zhu Qing said to the white tiger.

"General, aren't you going back?" White Tiger asked in surprise.

Zhu Qing looked up at the night sky and nodded, "I'll be back tomorrow!" With that, he turned to the commander of the city, Liangshan.

"General Liang, how about the things I asked you to prepare?" Zhu Qing asked Liangshan.

"General Qiyu, everything has been arranged." Liangshan answered.

"Okay, let them wait at the back gate." Zhu Qing ordered Liangshan.

"Yes!"

"General...... This......? Baihu looked at Zhu Qing's arrangement and still had some doubts, but was unexpectedly dissuaded by Xuanwu, "Big brother, this is going to go out to the field shop overnight!" Xuanwu whispered in the ear of the white tiger.

"Huh?!" The white tiger was startled and glanced at Zhu Qing, who didn't speak, just nodded at him.

"Then I'm going too!" White Tiger please.

"Shh Taking advantage of the fact that the army was resting in place, Zhu Qing pulled the white tiger aside, "Let you go back to the house, not only to keep the fatal witness of Gonggong Liu, but also to keep an eye on the backyard for us, although Huzi promised to stay still, but we must not be careless, I don't want the army to fight with the enemy in front, Kaifeng backyard fire!" Zhu Qing paused, glanced around, and muttered in the ear of the white tiger, "Also, immediately send a message to Lord Killing Wind and inform the capital of the situation in Kaifeng." ”

The white tiger thought that he had nothing to do, and when he heard Zhu Qing say this, he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, and it was not easy to kill the enemy compared to going into battle, so he gritted his teeth and responded, "Big brother, don't worry, the white tiger will do it well!" ”

"Okay, you will go to the city gate to distribute supplies and dry food later, and find an excuse to stay if you find suspicious people, they can't make waves in Kaifeng City alone, but if you mix in the army, I'm afraid it will be dangerous." Zhu Qing told the white tiger.

"Yes!"

Zhu Qing turned back to the army, and gathered all the generals to surround him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although it is the first time to arrive, but tonight I am afraid that you will not be able to rest well for the time being, we must take advantage of the hazy night and the traitor is unprepared, and kill him by surprise! If you are afraid of death, you can stay in Kaifeng overnight, and if you want to get more rewards, follow Qinglong, and wait for the Beijing suburb store, Qinglong will report to the court to hold a banquet for you! ”

These generals heard that Yedian was only 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there were Jinyi guards to take the lead, so this reward should not be in vain, so no one retreated.

"Since I have followed the general, the military order is like a mountain, and I will listen to the general, and when I clean up the traitors, I will go home and sleep on the kang with my mother-in-law and children! Generals, don't you say?! Shen Hui, who had just met his family, was full of enthusiasm and morale at the moment.

At the instigation of Shen Hui, the generals asked for battle.

"But, General, the army has been on the road for a long time, and it is tired and hungry, if you leave the city at this time, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will be weakened." Lu Chong suggested.

When the generals heard this, they all nodded, not without worry. Zhu Qing smiled slightly, "I have already thought about this problem, so I ordered the army to rest in place, and it will take half a pillar of incense to recover the strength of the legs." ”

"But what is the salary?" Lu Chong was still worried.

"General Lu doesn't have to worry, General Qinglong has already made arrangements, when the army will go out of the city, everyone will have a big cake and a kettle, remember, don't take more!" Rayama explained.

When the generals heard this, they all looked at Zhu Qing incredulously, Zhu Qing nodded, "This is the marching equipment of our army in the future, not only will it be severely punished by military law, but if you don't get greedy, it will become a drag on the battlefield, and when the time comes, it will not be hungry, but your life will be lost!" Please also ask the generals to give orders and let the soldiers strictly abide by them! ”

When the generals heard this, they nodded admiringly, and said in unison, "Obey!" ”

"And! The night is already in, and we have hundreds of thousands of troops here, but I hope we leave unaware! The movement not only disturbs the people, but also easily exposes the movement, giving the enemy a chance to wait for the rabbit! If there is a violation of the order and making a noise, regardless of the size of the official position, the decision will be made! Zhu Qing ordered his generals very seriously.

None of the generals wanted to admit guilt, make a fool of themselves, or even lose their lives in these hundreds of thousands of troops, so they swore an oath, "Obey!" ”

"Good! After the generals ordered to go down, after half a pillar of incense, the sound of birds was the signal, and the army went out of the city and attacked the wild shop at night! Zhu Qing waved his cloak and shouted, and the generals took the order one after another.

"Goo-goo!" The night is getting thicker, the moonlight is fading, and three bird calls sounded in the streets and alleys of Kaifeng.

In the quiet alley, a black figure suddenly swelled up. The generals' war horses have been led to the city gate, Zhu Qing waved the flag, and the Jinyi Guard took the lead out of the city for the pioneer battalion, although hundreds of thousands of troops could not see the order flag and could not hear the horn, they also followed the Jinyi Guard Pioneer Battalion out of the city.

Sure enough, at the gate of the city, on both sides of the road where the food and salary prepared by the Kaifeng guards were distributed, the soldiers passed by the stall in accordance with the previous regulations and picked up their share of the food and salary, and continued to keep up with the large army, no one dared to rob, no one dared to make noise. But there were still people who were inexplicably asked out of the queue by the white tiger, and the others didn't dare to ask more, and marched as usual.

Those who sincerely submit are afraid of military orders, and those who fish in troubled waters are worried about revealing their intentions, so hundreds of thousands of troops are really unaware of their intentions when they leave the city.

The army walked out of Kaifeng City softly and slowly, and began to trot to Yedian, Zhu Qing and other generals even sat on their own mounts and marched quickly, and the army followed closely and marched to Yedian. In less than five hours, the army arrived at the Yedian boundary in the early hours of the morning.

"Xuanwu!" Zhu Qing used clairvoyance to look at the Beijing suburbs and called out to Xuanwu.

"The last general!" Xuanwu stepped forward to receive the order.

"You are familiar with the boundaries of Yedian, and you led half of the pioneer battalion to bypass the back of Yedian through the trail and outflank from behind." Zhu Qing ordered.

"Yes!" Xuanwu was about to lead the troops away, but was stopped by Zhu Qing, "Wait! Zhu Qing said, turning to Shen Hui, "General Shen! ”

"The last general!" Shen Hui replied.

"You lead your troops to follow General Xuanwu to outflank from behind enemy lines, General Xuanwu is more familiar with this place than you, remember, without General Xuanwu's permission, your officers and men must not act rashly, lest they give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos. If there is a violator, I will ask you! Zhu Qing ordered Shen Hui.

"The last general obeys!"

"Well, let's go!" With a wave of Zhu Qing's hand, Xuanwu and Shen Hui led 30,000 elite soldiers to detour through the Beijing suburbs from the trail to block Zu Dashou's retreat.

"Lu Chong, Xian Xing and the rest of the troops followed General Ben to attack the enemy camp head-on! Remember, Zu Dashou I want to catch it alive! After Xuanwu and Shen Hui left, Zhu Qing ordered the rest of the soldiers.

"The last general obeys!" Although the generals clenched their fists and received their orders, some of them had already begun to make trouble. Zhu Qing recruited two guards around him. Whispering something in their ears, he waved them back down. The two retreated, one of them led a dozen brocade guards to touch forward, and the other led a dozen brocade guards to sneak back.

Suddenly, someone in the army really whispered, "Jinyi Guard has been on guard, don't act rashly, act at the opportunity, don't come out without permission!" ”

"Yes, General!"

Zhu Qing's ears seemed to move, he looked back at the black pressed soldiers, but he didn't say anything, just sneered, stepped on the wind chasing horse, drew his battle knife, and waved it forward, "Let's go!" ”

Suddenly, thousands of troops roared, shouting and killing all night, "Kill the thief!" Capture Zu Dashou alive! ”

Lu Chong and Xian Xing, under the leadership of Zhu Qing, took the lead in rushing towards the Beijing suburban store.

"Kill!"

The earth-shattering shouts of killing came and went, shaking the 100,000 rebels who were hovering in Yedian!

"What's going on!" Zu Dashou, who was sleeping in the wild shop, was awakened by this sudden shout, turned over from the bed, pulled on his robe and saber, and rushed out of the wild shop!

"Report! General, Qinglong led the Jinyi Guard to attack the camp! "Zu Dashou's sentinel came to report.

"Humph! Why should I worry about the brocade clothes? Grab your weapons and go into battle with General Ben to kill the enemy! "Zu Dashou is also a fierce general, how can he be captured? Zu Dashou just wanted to sharpen his knife and go into battle. Unexpectedly, another spy came to report!

"Report! Checkmate! Qinglong led a million-strong army to attack the camp! ”

"What? Million?! Can you see clearly?! Zu Dashou asked in surprise.

"The last general found that there was a large piece of black pressure behind Zhu Qing, among which there were military uniforms that broke into the army in the past, and there were definitely no less than one million!"

"General! Could it be that Qinglong really recruited the breaking army? Zu Dashou's deputy general, Zu You, said. This Zu Youshun is the one who led the troops to loot Shaanxi back then!

"I have heard that this Qinglong has some ability, don't be careless!" Zu Dashou pondered, then paused his posture to meet the enemy, he stroked his beard, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Hmph! He Qinglong said that we were thieves, but we didn't touch him to open an inch, but now he has made the first move. Good! I'll just do it! Join him and sue him for being a thief! ”

"The general's brilliant plan! He Qinglong did not die on the battlefield, but died in the general's recital! It's really high! Zu Yushun flattered.

"Hahaha, order to go down, leave a thousand old and weak behind this palace, and the army will withdraw to the Beijing Division!" Just when Zu Dashou was proud of his clever plan, another spy suddenly came.

"Report! Checkmate! Behind him, there is an army of brocade guards and an army! ”

"What?" Zu Youshun exclaimed, "How many centaurs?!" ”

"A piece of black pressing! It seems that there are no less than 100,000! ”

"One hundred thousand?! What do you all eat? An army of 100,000 is behind our army, and no one notices! Zu Dashou was annoyed and angry, and even Zu Youshun couldn't help but scold.

"Will ...... General, they must have taken a detour, otherwise we wouldn't have found out! Zu Youshun explained.

"Humph! Li Zicheng pits me! "With so many intruders suddenly appearing, Zu Dashou began to suspect Li Zicheng's so-called alliance.

"Yes, General! We had a holiday with Li Zicheng, and this time he agreed to form an alliance so readily, there must be ghosts! Zu Youshun hurriedly turned the spearhead to Li Zicheng.

"Lack of erection and conspiracy!" Zu Dashou hated and plunged the big knife into the soil.

"General, the top priority is to find a way to get out of danger, what to do, and ask the general to make a decision as soon as possible!" Looking at the approaching army, Zu Youshun also panicked, and heard the shouting and killing behind him, although it may not be as good as 100,000, but it is not a lot, and it may not be simple to rush to kill.

"What else can be done? Fight! Isn't he Qinglong known as a master? I'll meet him tonight, old man! Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as the green dragon is killed, they are the dragons without a leader, and everyone else is a rabble! Lead me with my war horse! "Zu Dashou has no way to retreat, as long as he catches up! Mount, mount your warhorse, and prepare to meet the enemy!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The armies of the two roads were on the verge of breaking out, and the two sides fought at night in the wilderness of the Beijing suburbs. After a rush to kill, the lethality of the prepared Jinyi Guard and the Chuang Army is even better! Except for the sergeants who wanted to fish in troubled waters, most of the Great Western Army took the lead bravely and followed Zhu Qing into the enemy formation!

"Qinglong, do you dare to go head-to-head with the old man?!" Seeing that the positional battle was not Zhu Qing's opponent, Zu Dashou began to use the radical method to lead Zhu Qing to fight alone!

"General! Don't fall for thieves! Lu Chong prompted.

Zhu Qing sneered, staring at the old and spicy Zu Dashou and said to Lu Chong, "It's okay to play with him, you wait and help me here!" ”

As he spoke, he rode out on a wind-chasing horse!

"Thief! Suffer death! Zhu Qing shouted and swung his knife down.

"Bang dang!" Zu Dashou didn't expect Zhu Qing to rush at him without thinking, he didn't have time to dodge, he could only block a knife head-on, and the two knives sparked dazzling sparks in mid-air.

"Green Dragon! Green Dragon! Green Dragon! I don't know who started first, and the soldiers behind Zhu Qing shouted and cheered for Zhu Qing.

When Zu Dashou and his soldiers heard it, how could this be more than a million? It's embattled! Immediately, my heart was half cold.

But since they are already at war, how can they easily get out of the battle? Zu Dashou can only fight with Zhu Qingzhen's knife and gun! Although Zu Dashou is old and spicy, Zhu Qing has long been prepared, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops to help, whether it is morale or force, he has the upper hand. The more Zu Dashou fought, the more powerless he became.

Zu Youshun saw that Zu Dashou couldn't support it, so he secretly hid into the crowd.

Zu Dashou was busy with the battle and had no time to take care of it, but Zhu Qing was facing Zu Dashou's army, so he naturally saw it clearly!

"Haha! Zu Dashou! Your lieutenant is gone! Zhu Qing laughed loudly.

"What?" Zu Dashou turned around angrily, and sure enough, Zu Youshun led the rear troops as the vanguard, trying to escape from behind.

"You bunny! Ungrateful stuff! Seeing Zu Youshun throw himself away and run away, Zu Dashou scolded.

"Bang!" With a bang, just as Zu Dashou turned back again, Zhu Qing kicked Zu Dashou in the chest heavily, and Zu Dashou fell off the horse in response!

"General?" The remaining half of the soldiers were about to move forward to the Savior, but Zhu Qing pointed a knife at Zu Dashou's throat and shouted angrily, "Stop!" They are all warriors of the Ming Dynasty, I hope you don't force Qinglong to make a move! Zu Dashou conspired with the rebels, Jinyiwei already has evidence in hand, the soldiers don't know and the military order is difficult, Qinglong can not be investigated, if anyone dares to act for the tiger, don't blame me Qinglong for not thinking about the same dynasty! ”

Zhu Qing shouted to Zu Dashou's soldiers while holding a knife against Zu Dashou's throat. The soldiers immediately did not dare to take a step forward, and when tens of thousands of people were at a loss, there was a sudden commotion in the rear of the army, and those soldiers who tried to escape with Zu Youshun retreated one after another.

Everyone looked over, only to see Xuanwu walking out of the army with a silver halberd escorting Zu You!

"General?!" He couldn't escape, and when he came back and saw Zu Dashou, Zu Youshun screamed in shame.

"Phew!" Zu Dashou said angrily, "You ungrateful thing! ”

"Click!" Suddenly, Zhu Qing threw out a scimitar and flew straight towards Zu Youshun, and before Zu Youshun could react, the head had already landed!

"Huh?!" Zu Dashou and the others were all shocked, although Zu Dashou hated Zu Youshun for throwing him down, but Zhu Qing asked Zu Youshun for not saying a word, and the head of Zu Youshun still frightened him.

"Zu Dashou, since you don't like him, and my brother doesn't like him either, then I'll help you!" Zhu Qing inserted the scimitar into the scabbard and sneered at Zu Dashou, and then waved his hand, "Lu Chong! Put away the head of this thief and take it back to pay tribute to General Huzi's father! ”

When Lu Chong and the others heard that Huzi treated him like this, Zhu Qing also helped him avenge the murder of his father, which was really chivalrous, and they were all moved!

"Thank you, General!" Lu Chong responded, then ripped off a piece of black cloth from his body and walked over.

"Xian Xing!"

"The last general!"

"Tie up Zu Dashou to me!"

"The last general obeys!" Xian Xing said that he took two soldiers and stepped forward to tie up Zu Dashou.

"Green Dragon! You slander the old man! Li Zicheng! You pit old man! You all wait for the old man! The tied Zu Dashou struggled.

Xuanwu beckoned, and Xian Xing escorted Zu Dashou towards him.

"I'll let you talk nonsense!" Xuanwu said, suddenly ripped off a piece of cloth from the soldiers who died on the ground, rolled it up and stuffed it into Zu Dashou's mouth.

"Mmmmmm Zu Dashou was speechless!

"Other soldiers listen, although I don't have a million strong soldiers behind me, but it's not much worse, I want to do the battle of trapped beasts, I Qinglong will accompany me to the end, and if I want to disarm and return to the territory, I will stand on the other side of the wild shop, don't stop us from entering the store to eat and drink!"

As soon as Zhu Qing gave an order, Zu Dashou's soldiers looked at each other, and they all left the Beijing suburb store after a while!

"Shen Hui, disarm their weapons and wait until dawn tomorrow." Zhu Qing said to Shen Hui.

"Yes, General!" Shen Hui responded

Zhu Qing dismounted and walked into the wild shop.

"Let's go!" Suddenly, there was a commotion in the army.

"General, someone has defected!" Xuanwu said to Zhu Qing, who was drinking tea in the store.

"What's the hurry? Come, first drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat. Zhu Qing leisurely poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xuanwu.
