If this kind of scene is seen by the bandits who rely on this official road to eat, it will naturally run as far as possible, and no one will dare to approach the official road. for fear of being caught by the officials and soldiers to sacrifice the flag.

But things in the world are so strange, on a hill not far in front of this official road, there is really a group of bandits who are hiding under the shade of a tree to rest.

The leader of this small group of bandits, which is no more than 100 people, is nicknamed the Earth Turning Dragon. They were originally Li Zicheng's subordinates, and they also came with them when they attacked Jingshi last time, so they were relatively familiar with the vicinity of Beizhili. This time, I came from Xuanda to be ordered to do reconnaissance.

Houjin's attack was extremely powerful. Li Zicheng, who has already occupied the front line of Xuanda, naturally also received the news. And Gao Yang's expedition with tens of thousands of new troops can't be hidden. It was natural for Li Zicheng to send people to observe this battle and prepare for his future actions.

"Da Da Da ~~~" A fast horse galloped along the official road and soon came to the bottom of the hillside. After a whistle, the knight came to the foot of the hill, pulled the horse into the grove, handed it to his accomplices who were letting the wind down the hill tie it, and trotted up the ridge.

The knight trotted all the way to a crooked-necked tree halfway up the mountain. A big man with gray temples and rough skin raised his eyelids and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" ”

The knight, whose face was sallow and sweaty, first took the water bladder handed over by his accomplices and poured it into a mouthful. After finally breathing a sigh of relief, he gasped and said, "Officers and soldiers, there are officers and soldiers everywhere." I watched all the way along the official road from the mountain, and I couldn't see the end at a glance. ”

"To say the least, there are tens of thousands." The knight breathed a sigh of relief, and continued with a look of fear on his face.

"What's the panic?" The Earth Turner rolled his eyelids and gave him a blank look. snorted lightly, scolded and said, "You are also an old man from the old battalion, and no matter how many officers and soldiers we have, we haven't seen it." Look at your little bit of talent. ”

After the knight was scolded, his face turned red and white, and after taking a breath, he said, "These soldiers are not simple. I've been following King Chuang for so many years. What kind of officers and soldiers have not seen? The soldiers in front of you are really different. You can feel the murderous aura just by looking at it from a distance! It's really scary! ”

"You're fucking dizzy, aren't you? Still tnnd murderous? You didn't listen to the brothers who went back from Jingshi, those are all recruits who have only recently been recruited, recruits! Still fucking murderous? The earth-turning dragon looked unhappy. In other words, who was assigned this errand, ran to the vicinity of the enemy brigade to do reconnaissance in this hot weather, and followed all the way to the battlefield. It must be as full of gas as he is.

As long as he thinks of it, those old camp brothers who are similar to him are hiding in Xi'an City at the moment, eating and drinking spicy food. Enjoy the cool during the day, and sleep at night with the white and tender official lady. The heart of the earth turning dragon is churning!

"Damn, those white and tender little ladies that Lao Tzu snatched won't run away with wild men, right? What a fucking bad luck, why did this errand fall on Lao Tzu's head? At this moment, the complaining Earth Turning Dragon completely forgot the excitement he had when he set off to get the silver from Niu Jinxing. All that's left is grumbling and irritability.

More than 100 horse thieves from Li Zicheng's old camp sat or lay down on this small hillside, each finding a shaded place to rest. In this scorching noon, no one is too lazy to move. Tanma has said it. The officers and soldiers are resting on the official road, and it is very safe in all directions at this moment.

When the earth-turning dragon who was hanging his head and thinking about his thoughts was about to fall asleep, a dull gunshot woke him up!

Suddenly, the earth-turning dragon got up as soon as he turned over, and hid behind the big tree with a twist of footsteps. He poked his head out and looked at the foot of the mountain not far away.

Before he could see what was going on, a dense burst of terrifying gunshots like fried beans rang out instantly!

This earth-turning dragon can be seen clearly. In the small forest at the foot of the mountain, I don't know when I felt a large stream of yellow, yellow, green and green dressed like beggars, and the officers and soldiers with birds in their hands! Why do you know that it is an officer and a soldier? Because there are anti-flags.

The dozen or so brothers who were guarding at the bottom of the mountain were all hanging. At this moment, about half of the officers and soldiers were still smoking with bird guns in their hands, and they were squatting on the ground and tinkering with something. And the other half of the officers and soldiers are rushing up halfway up the mountain with bird guns!

"Damn!" The earth turning dragon scolded hatefully, needless to say, he knew that they had been discovered by the official army. People are touching and trying to kill them!

"The wind is tight, pull it!" The Floor Turner yelled at the top of his lungs. Take the lead and run towards the place where the horses are hidden at the foot of the mountain behind. And his men were more nimble than the other, and all of them were nimble like apes, shuttling back and forth between mountains, rocks and trees, and galloping to the place where the horses were hidden.

These people are all experienced horse thieves in Li Zicheng's old camp. I've been doing this for so many years, what kind of scene haven't I encountered? Being surrounded and suppressed by the officials and soldiers is really a commonplace. For these horse thieves. Anything can be thrown away, silver and jewelry, and women can be thrown away. Because as long as you can survive, you can naturally get it back in the future. But the horse can't be lost, it's the cost of escaping. The gang each brought at least three horses. As soon as they got on the horse, it would have disappeared like a whirlwind.

The fledgling earth ploughing dragon still has the heart to think about things, "These officers and soldiers are all stupid donkeys, and they know that they are climbing the mountain in the front." By the time you got up the mountain, Lao Tzu had already run away. Then, before the dragon could laugh, he heard a rapid thunderous sound of horses' hooves. Looking sideways, he almost didn't scare him. A large group of cavalry was riding their horses along the official road around the mountain bag, outflanking them behind the Earth Flipping Dragon!

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" The earth turning dragon hurriedly turned his head and forcibly cheered himself up, "I'm not afraid of many people, as long as I get on the horse." Then no one would have thought they would be able to catch up with me! The thoughts in my mind were still flipping, and a dense gunfire like fried beans broke out in the grove in front of me!

In the past, among this group of people, the most flexible hands and feet, and the fastest runners, and the first few who rushed to the front were all frozen in an instant. The whole body was beaten and bloody! Limp collapsed to the ground.

The caliber of the Ferguson rear-loading rifle is 19 mm! A circular buckshot with a diameter of more than ten millimeters hit unprotected flesh at a speed of more than 200 meters per second. Physically, no matter how strong the body is, it will be beaten into bloody rags.

"Poof!" With a bang, the feet of the earth-turning dragon softened, and he staggered to his knees on the cracked ground. Watch as a large group of officers and soldiers emerge from the woods where they had hidden their horses. The earth-turning dragon immediately turned pale, his eyes were distracted, and his lips trembled slightly, and he whispered, "Damn, these little ladies of Lao Tzu are really going to run away with wild men." ”

Gao Yang has invested a lot in this time and space. The large-scale use of biochemical warriors that cannot be taken away, the main body of this new army, and the officers at all levels are a large number of biochemical soldiers!

How keen is the sense of smell on the battlefield of these biochemical warriors who are specially born for battle? They also have the advanced technology that Gao Yang got from modern time and space as support, what can this group of horse thieves count in front of them?

It was a time before the army stopped advancing and encamped for a moment's rest. High-altitude unmanned reconnaissance planes have already been released to conduct close reconnaissance of the surrounding areas. How could these horse thieves hiding under the shade of the trees be able to escape the eagle eyes from the sky?

Without consulting Gao Yang, the commander of the biochemical warriors, who had the right to decide the battle, immediately sent out the night army to exterminate these unidentified horse thieves.

Under the leadership of the biochemical soldiers who served as officers at all levels, these recruits who were selected for their outstanding performance in the training quickly completed the all-out strangulation of this group of bandits led by the Earth Turning Dragon. More than 30 people were killed and wounded on the spot, and the rest of the people, including the Earth Flipping Dragon, became prisoners. It was tied into a long gourd by the officers and soldiers with a long rope, and it was stumbled all the way back to the camp.

It wasn't until he was pulled into the camp that the earth-turning dragon, who was still in a trance, finally saw the words written on the banner clearly. "The Royal Army of the Ming Empire!" When he was young, he worked as a scholar for two years, and he knew how to read. This is also an important reason why Li Zicheng chose him to carry out this reconnaissance mission.

At this time, Gao Yang was receiving a visit from Lord Wu Xiang, the chief military officer of the Admiral Jingying. said that it was a visit, but in fact, it had the same meaning as Wang Chengen's coming before, and he was also here to urge Gao Yang to march as soon as possible to rescue Ning Yuan.

Gao Yang carried out a total of three large-scale recruitment operations in Jingshi and Beizhili. In total, more than 70,000 recruits were recruited. At this moment, Gao Yang is followed by the first two batches of the main force that has initially formed combat effectiveness after many months of rigorous training, and the number is about 40,000. In addition, there are about 5,000 sergeants from the first two batches who stayed in the Beijing division under the leadership of a group of biochemical soldiers, strictly training the third batch of new recruits, and also shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the Beijing division.

I felt that when Li Zicheng broke through the Beijing division before, the Beijing camp either collapsed or surrendered. Emperor Chongzhen, who was already extremely disgusted with the Beijing camp, heard that the new army lacked people to serve as logistics and miscellaneous workers. immediately made a decision and asked Jing Ying, who was extremely unpopular with him, to follow the new army to rescue Ning Yuan.

Emperor Chongzhen also added Gaoyang to the official positions of the Governor of the Five Armies, the Governor of Jiliao, the Crown Prince and the Prince, and the rank of scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion University and the Ministry of Soldiers. To put it simply, all matters outside the customs are under the control of Gaoyang, and the Beijing camp, which is also fighting in the name of reinforcements, is naturally under the jurisdiction of Gaoyang.

In this way, Gao Yang, who had never read any Four Books and Five Classics, became the top expatriate in the Ming Dynasty. At this moment, the form of the Ming Dynasty has made Emperor Chongzhen make up his mind and determination to completely break everything and start anew. This kind of official position that does not require money is as much as it wants.

Wu Xiang, who had been following the new army with the Beijing camp, ran to Gao Yang to complain after he found out that the new army had actually stopped and set up camp. His son is still surrounded in Ningyuan City!

Because I went to the Northern Song Dynasty last night, I dealt with a lot of things, and I had to accompany my wife. Gao Yang, who had been busy until late and ran back to rest, was not in good spirits. Originally, I wanted to take a nap and have a good rest, but I was woken up one after another, and no one would be upset. (To be continued.) )
