Chapter 198: The First Battle of the Peasant Army (II)

The camp of the Yang Wuyu peasant army is very large, but the open space of Yang Wuyu is very small, so the peasant army has to camp intensively. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Among them, there is only a small part of the camp tent of the old camp, and at this time it is located in the innermost camp.

This camp tent is different from other broken camp tents, obviously neat and atmospheric, two old camp knives outside stand in front of the door with knives in hand, and a big flag flutters at the top of the camp tent, and the word 'king' is very eye-catching.

There were seven or eight people in the tent at this time, one of them was sitting in the north and facing south, with a fierce face, wearing a pair of big felt hats, and wearing a rare fluffy iron armor, and holding a big knife in his hand was the prince who was fierce.

Wang Zimeng is the commander of the forward battalion, and standing on his left side is also a big man, who is Zishun's right-hand man, named Dong Kui, who is the deputy commander of the forward battalion at this time, and also the commander of the old battalion infantry army.

Although the person on the right side is slightly thinner than Dong Kui, his gloomy eyes and pointed chin will not make people underestimate him at all.

This person's name is Li Ying, he is the commander of the old battalion horse team, and he is also the other deputy commander of the forward battalion, except for some miscellaneous fish, the commanders of all sizes of the homeless camp, and there are more or less hundreds of homeless people below.

"Did you hear clearly, how many officers and soldiers are there in Chun County?" Wang Zimeng asked anxiously with a thick Shaanxi accent at this time.

Li Ying said with a smile: "I heard it clearly, there are not many officers and soldiers in that area, and there are less than two hundred officers and soldiers in the garrison of Chunxian County, so you can do it once!" ā€

Wang Zishun is very irritable these days, although the siege of the city and the village are powerful, and there are many homeless people who have rushed here, and the number has increased rapidly, but there are also many problems caused.

The first thing is a problem of military rations, the prince has no logistical state when he enters Shanxi, and there is no baggage battalion, and there are few men in the army.

What he relied on was also a word, robbing.

Fighting wherever you can grab is also a common problem of all peasant armies.

And even if Wang Zishun wanted to stop and rest, it was unlikely, because as the number of people increased, the food and silver needed increased, and every day was a huge expense, and Wang Zishun could not think of any other way to replenish it, so he had to continue to rob.

Wang Zishun is not short of people at all now, so he divided his subordinates into several battalions to avoid direct contact with the officers and soldiers of the brigade, and instead went deep into the prefectures and counties of Shanxi to go to the rear of the officers and soldiers to loot, which is also the most headache for the officers and soldiers, and this forward battalion is one of Wang Zishun's troops.

The prince slapped his hand and said excitedly: "Okay, then let's do it, and the brothers in Chunxian County will continue to eat, drink, and play with women!" ā€

When everyone thought of the states and counties that had been conquered in the past, their eyes showed a lingering look.

Often, they were all in one place, and the officers and men fled in despair, and they rarely encountered resistance, and even if they encountered a small group of resistance, they could take advantage of the numerical advantage to pile them to death.

Therefore, the name of the peasant army was spread to win a hundred battles, and at this time, the name of Wang Zishun's 'one-word horizontal king' was also a great shock.

It seems to have become the leader of the peasant armies in Shanxi, every time after breaking the city, it is a large-scale plunder, everyone's pockets are stuffed, and whoever they like will be directly forcibly occupied, without the constraints of the government and officers and soldiers, they have long degenerated into jackals and beasts.

Suddenly, an old battalion swordsman rushed into the tent and said something to the prince, not long ago, the old battalion counted the number of people and found that there was one person missing, and there were two new homeless people who disappeared together.

There is no explanation for this matter, but Wang Zimeng and the others don't care, it's just that there are a few fewer people, the last thing they lack is people, and when they get down the county, they can recruit hundreds of people casually.

All they care about now is to go to Chunxian County to burn and loot, and when they think of this, they are as excited as if they had smoked marijuana.

Suddenly, another old battalion soldier stumbled into the camp tent, and the news he brought surprised the prince violently: "A large number of soldiers and horses were found outside, it seems to be officers and soldiers!" ā€

The tent was suddenly in turmoil, Li Ying frowned, and asked: "There are no officers and soldiers in this radius of a hundred miles, don't you want to be frightened by your own righteous army?" ā€

The prince nodded violently and said, "Yes, yes, let's take a closer look." ā€

But the old battalion soldier didn't move, he hesitated, and finally said: "Look carefully, it's not your own pole, under the banner of Xiaozi!" ā€

The prince muttered a few words, looked at Dong Kui and the others suspiciously, they also shook their heads, they had never heard of a court general surnamed Xiao in this area before.

After repeated inquiries, Wang Zimeng had lost his initial worries, and there was laughter in the tent.

A peasant army commander laughed and said, "Commander, let me lead people to exterminate this small group of officers and soldiers, and give the brothers a hand training before attacking Chunxian!" ā€

"Yes, the brothers have long had itchy hands, and they have been shouting and killing officers and soldiers all day long!"

Li Ying still had a gloomy face at this time, and said in a deep voice: "This team of only 600 officers and soldiers, but they dare to provoke with my 2,000 army, they should have something to rely on, and they have to guard against it!" ā€

The prince violently interrupted Li Ying's words, waved his hand and said, "Commander Li, I ordered you to lead the horse team to exterminate this group of officers and soldiers for me!" ā€

Dong Kui looked at Li Ying and said, "Commander Li has caught up with such a good errand, I am envious!" ā€

Everyone complimented Li Ying, and there was another voice of envy.

Li Ying didn't think about it so much at the moment, in case this group of officers and soldiers was just the same as other officers and soldiers, this would be a big credit.

At the moment, he smiled and arched his hand, and said: "Everyone look at the officers and soldiers killed by my horse team!" ā€

……

Li Ying looked at the officers and soldiers outside, and for some reason he always had a feeling of unease, this group of officers and soldiers was indeed very different from the officers and soldiers he had met in the past, and it was much better than other officers and soldiers just from the neatness of the armor and clothing.

But at this point, it is already ready to be sent.

Otherwise, if he retreats from the battle, his name Li Ying will be ruined, and he is also very greedy for the armor and equipment of the officers and soldiers opposite, if he can snatch them all, then his horse team will be improved a lot.

At this time, he raised his saber and shouted: "Brothers, if you defeat these dog officers and soldiers in front of you, in the future, what you will get in Chunxian County, I Li Ying only need one percent, and the rest will be given to everyone, as for the clothes and armor of these dog officers and soldiers are also wasted on them, everyone will take them all!" ā€

In the face of such a rich Shangge, everyone was a little excited, they were all old battalion horses in the thief army, and they were all high in the camp on weekdays, and they had already been a little arrogant in giving priority to eating and drinking.

There were only more than 200 infantry troops on his side, and although they looked at some formations, they just wanted to quickly defeat these people and seize their armor and weapons so that they could go to Chunxian County to enjoy the blessings, and they did not observe much.

Besides, when their old battalion was afraid of officers and soldiers, and there was no horse team afraid of the infantry army, they were all old battalion soldiers, and they could even top ten officers and soldiers at a time.

The peasant army and horse team here were all shouting and excited, but Li Ying was surprised to see the officers and soldiers opposite, still standing there motionless, just looking at his side with cold eyes.

In front of them was a sentry of the Yong'an Army, and at this time they were in a neat array of shields, with a row of sword players in front of one hand holding a sword and a shield in the other, and two rows of pikemen behind them.

The tips of their glittering spears protruded from between the gaps in their shields, and each of them had three bamboo tubes tied to them, of course, the peasant army was unaware.

Shi Gang didn't say a word, at this time the benefits of the Yong'an Army's day and night drills were reflected, although everyone was nervous, but no one moved, the shield array of the Yong'an Army and Li Ying's old camp horse team seemed to be two extremes, one side was noisy and arrogant, and the other side was silent, like a wild beast before the outbreak.

With Li Ying's order, the old battalion horse team of the peasant army did not have the slightest formation, and rushed towards the shield array of the Yong'an army in a chaotic manner.

Seeing the peasant army rushing towards them, the Yongan army became even more nervous, but all they showed was holding the swords and guns in their hands and preparing to meet them.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from behind the Yong'an army.

"Columns!"

When the peasant army and horse team that was galloping heard this shout, they saw several columns of people suddenly standing up from behind the officers and soldiers.

These officers and soldiers are dressed relatively lightly, but everyone is holding a pitch-black thing in their hands, others don't recognize it, but Li Ying can't not recognize it, this is actually a three-eyed gun!

Although Li Ying was surprised at the moment, he didn't feel scared.

He has seen a lot of firearms used by officers and soldiers, but most of them are blown up in wartime, and even more so, many officers and soldiers have been injured themselves, and even they peasant soldiers do not bother to use firearms, and they will not be afraid. (To be continued.) )
