"Liu Zongmin, the butcher, dare to come over when he hears my Sun Yuan's name? Okay, okay, I'm going to meet this old friend. Sun Yuan laughed coldly.

He turned to Ma Shiying and said, "Governor Ma, I will lead the troops to meet these old friends first, and the siege here will be entrusted to you first, as well as Huang You." ”

"You don't have to worry about Huang Shen's side Taichu, I will send Lang Zhong over to serve the decoction." Ma Shiying nodded again and again: "Indeed, the thief army must be blocked in the area of Guide Mansion." Otherwise, when they arrived, I was afraid that if they didn't wait for them to fight, the Lufeng army and the Nanjing army would collapse first. However, the Ningxiang army is only 3,000, there are too many thief troops, and the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is too great! ”

Sun Yuan: "No matter how many sheep there are, how can they defeat a hero." ”

He clenched his fists: "Liu Zongmin, Chuzhou is goodbye, it's been five years, okay, let me see how you have grown over the years!" ”

****************************************************

Drought, still drought

。

The yellow earth, the yellow sky, the yellow enemy camp, as if this is the only color in the world.

Sun Yuan stood on the ruined Xiayi city wall and looked north. To the west of Suishui, the tents of the peasant army stretched all the way to the horizon, and there was no end in sight.

According to the spies, the enemy's camp from Xiayi to Guide was more than 30 miles long, like a huge dragon.

"The battle is really getting bigger and bigger...... Sun Yuan was heavy in his heart.

"On the other side of the river is Xiao Yuanying." Huang You still went out with Sun Yuan, and it was also his luck, after the consultation of Lang Zhong and Garcia sent by Ma Shiying, both Chinese and Western doctors unanimously determined that Huang You was not suffering from the plague, but excessive worry, coupled with heat stroke and a severe cold.

After many days of decoction treatment, Huang You was finally able to walk, but his body was so thin that he couldn't see a trace of blood on his face. After saying a few words, he would gasp slightly: "I really didn't expect that there would be so many people in a small Yuan camp?" If Li Zicheng's Zhongqin Army, Luo Rucai's main force, plus the five battalions of the Revolution and Zuo, I don't know what the situation is. It is conceivable that the defenders in Kaifeng City have become in difficulty. ”

The so-called Xiao Yuan Battalion is the team of the peasant army Yuan Shizhong, and it is also one of the most powerful forces in today's peasant army.

In fact, Yuan Shizhong debuted late, and Chongzhen was just a strong man in Henan in the early years. In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, the year before last, there was a locust plague in Henan, followed by a major drought for more than a year, and the people starved to death.

At the beginning of last year, the ambitious Yuan Shizhong saw that the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains had completely collapsed, so he coerced tens of thousands of people to rise up, and then captured Kaizhou, that is, Puyang, and killed the governor of Kaizhou, and the momentum suddenly grew stronger. In the last year, Yuan Shizhong contacted Liu Yuqi, Zhu Chengju and other thieves to enter the Kaifeng and Shangqiu areas, plundered all directions, and the team swelled to 60,000 people, and there were several peasant army units under his command, which was called the small Yuan battalion.

After Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng, because the leaders of Xiao Yuanying's camp were all natives of Henan and were familiar with the local people's conditions, he sent people to envelop them, thinking that they were attacking Kaifeng's vanguard troops.

At the end of the battle of Zhuxian Town, Li Zicheng wanted to send Xiao Yuan Ying to rescue Yongcheng, probably because Yuan Shizhong was from Henan. Moreover, Xia Yi had already been beaten by Yuan Shizhong once last year, and this time he came over, he was really familiar with it

。

Now, Xiao Yuan's camp is stationed on the west bank of Suishui, if it weren't for someone else in the river who blocked the way of the thief army, maybe Yuan Shizhong would have killed Xiayi City.

To be honest, today's Xiayi, like the county towns in other parts of Henan, has long been dilapidated, the city walls have been demolished in half, and the residents of the city have long since fled, so it is good to be able to gather enough for a thousand people.

As for Liu Zongminjun, it is located in Ma Muji, forty miles north of Xiayi. Unlike Xiao Yuan's battalion, although Liu Zongmin's men and horses are only more than 10,000, 3,000 of them are cavalry, and they have experienced hundreds of battles in recent years, which is a hard bone that is not easy to gnaw.

As for Gao Yigong, he is only a nominal commander, and the two thousand men on hand can be ignored.

The three-way thief army together exceeds 70,000, and it is a victorious army and a local snake. Once Liu Zongmin's army went south, Xiao Yuanying crossed the river and surrounded the Ningxiang cavalry army, things would be in trouble. (.marshmallow)

The most serious thing is that there are too many people in Xiao Yuan's camp, which has vaguely threatened Sun Yuan's logistics supply.

Although the combat effectiveness of the cavalry army is strong, there are too many war horses, and it is also extremely dependent on logistics support.

If you want to ensure the long supply line from Xiayi to Yongcheng, five or six hundred cavalry will be stationed at various passes and checkpoints. The number of cavalry was small, and if the troops were divided, the battle would be lost without fighting.

As soon as Sun Yuan thought of this, his heart was on fire. The two acne on his nose were even bigger, red and bright like two cherries, and as soon as others saw him, they would subconsciously pull the armistice horse and wait for a long time.

When I touched it with my hand, it hurt so much.

Hearing Huang You's words, Sun Yuan stretched out his foot and kicked hard at the battlement of the city wall: "Liu Zongmin, Yuan Shizhong, and Liu Chao, these three brutes, will definitely not spare you." Especially that Liu Chao, he was going to cut him with a knife. ”

The kick was so hard that it kicked the pheasant down the city. The blue bricks on the periphery of the war-torn Xiayi city wall have long since been peeled off, revealing the rammed earth inside.

Smoke and dust.

As soon as he thought of Liu Chao, Sun Yuan was so angry that his heart was dripping blood. This man's field battle is really unbearable, but his ability to escape is not as strong as words, so he can't be caught

。 Moreover, Liu Chao is a good hand at defending the city. If he hadn't defended Yongcheng impregnably, he would have gone to Zhuxian Town a long time ago, and the Ming army would not have suffered that unprecedented defeat, so that the last trace of vitality of the country would have been exhausted.

The current form is extremely unfavorable to Sun Yuan, and if he is not careful, he will not be able to say that the Ningxiang army will suffer a defeat.

Over the years, in addition to the successive defeats of the sailors and the abuse of Zheng Zhilong on the ocean, Sun Yuan's army has never lost a battle, is this precedent going to be set this time?

"Taichu, Taichu, in the past year, you have changed."

Since Huang You went to Yangzhou Town with Sun Yuan that year, he was still very dissatisfied with Sun Yuan in his heart. Therefore, since when did he only call Sun Yuan General Sun, and it was the first time that he shouted so sincerely like now.

Sun Yuan looked back at him in amazement, Huang You coughed lightly, and there was a hint of unhealthy redness on his face: "Taichu, Taichu, there is no urgency to fight with soldiers, especially in such a critical battle, you have to be like a clever chess player, step by step to calculate properly." But you, but you sent troops to Yongcheng this time to exterminate Liu Chao's rebels, and from the very beginning, you seemed arrogant and arrogant, and you have committed a taboo as a general. Because, these emotions can affect your judgment of the battle situation and the strength of the enemy and the enemy. ”

He kept shaking his head, and there were a lot of white hairs on his sideburns: "Liu Chao is a rat, it's not worth mentioning." However, such a simple battle was fought like this by you at the beginning......"

Sun Yuan became angry: "Brother Huang, are you blaming me?" ”

Huang You sighed: "Hey, Taichu, Taichu, I know that since Mrs. Zhu died of dystocia, you have been depressed for the past two years. As soon as something happens, you run away like thunder, and now everyone is a little afraid of you. If Mrs. Zhu had a spirit in the sky, she probably wouldn't want to see you become like this. ”

Hearing this, Sun Yuan was stunned and froze.

After a long time, tears rolled down.

"The Beginning ......"

"That's enough, shut up!" Sun Yuan wiped his face and shouted, "Huang You, don't tell me this." You are my advisor, and I ask you, how can you break through this situation? ”

In the past, Huang You was not a good-tempered person, and if Sun Yuan said such unkind words, he would also have an immediate attack. But today, Huang You knew that his words just poked at the weakest sore spot in Sun Yuan's heart.

He only coughed and said slowly: "Indeed, as the general has seen, the enemy is about to encircle me

。 Henan is already thousands of miles of red land, and the cavalry fights, as needed, thanks to rear transportation. In order to support this extremely long logistics line, it is necessary to send troops to be stationed in various places. But with a division of troops, our army has no hope of defeating the thieves. The enemy is outnumbered, and the disparity in strength is huge. Therefore, the thief's profit is long-lasting, while our army's profit is to solve it quickly. ”

"In the past, Nurhachi, the chief of Liaodong Jiannu, once had a sentence that is applicable to the battlefield today: With his many ways, I will only go all the way. In other words, we don't have to worry so much, immediately concentrate all the cavalry and defeat the enemy first. ”

In this way, the thief army will be terrified, and they will no longer dare to compete with the general. But who to choose along the way is extremely crucial. It is said that it is best to choose a high one, he is the nominal commander of the thief army in this battle, and he has more than 1,000 and less than 2,000 pro-troops on hand, and he is a soft persimmon. But the problem is that Gao Yigong is still to come. Moreover, he is also a nominal commander, and if he beats him, it will not be useful to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger. ”

"So, fight Xiao Yuanying?" Sun Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"It is said that it is most suitable to fight Xiao Yuanying." Huang You nodded: "Although Xiao Yuan Ying is the leader of Yuan Shizhong, it can be loosely organized and have different intentions. But the problem is that if you want to fight Xiao Yuan's camp, you have to cross Suishui first, and besides, the thief army has a joint camp for ten miles, and it is too much to build a hard village, and there are too many troops, and it is too risky for our army to attack the enemy's old camp. So ......"

"Therefore, our army only has Liu Zongmin as the target." Sun Yuan said.

"Yes, Liu Zongmin is the first brave general under Li Zicheng, and his troops are the first-class elite of the army, and he has just made a name for himself in Zhuxian Town. If we can eat Liu Bu, Xiao Yuanying will inevitably be shocked, and when the time comes, things will be simple. Huang You smiled faintly: "I think back then, I also followed Lu Gong to suppress the thief army in the south, and I really know their virtue too well. Xiao Yuan's camp was already loose, and the reason why they were able to get together and defect to the army was just because Li Zicheng was about to take down the whole of Henan, so they would naturally choose to bow to the strong. Now, Liu Zongmin has been routed by our army. These thieves were naturally frightened and scattered, and they would not spend their strength in the battle against our army and make wedding clothes for others. ”

"Many of the leaders of the thief army used to be just farmers who farmed the land, and when the troubled times were together, they threatened the people, and they dared to claim the title of king and hegemon. Without the army, they are nothing. ”

"Well said." Sun Yuan smiled, revealing snow-white teeth: "It's exactly what I want, I want to meet Liu Zongmin, an old friend, for a while!" Tomorrow, I will personally lead the main force to Ma Muji to fight Liu Zongmin in a decisive battle, and completely turn this sinister situation over! ”
