Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info please search (product # book...... Net)! The fastest updated novel Like any previous battle, Lu Xiang rose to the forefront, riding a BMW Wumingji to step on the snow, and rushed to the front of the team with a big sword held high. Many thieves have already seen Lu Xiangsheng's bravery, and before the two armies have yet to fight, they have already exclaimed loudly: "King Lu Yan is here!" ”

And following Lu Xiangsheng was the five thousand elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army that he brought out. However, the current Tianxiong army is different from a few months ago, in addition to relying on brave charges to kill the enemy, there is also a new means of fighting.

Each of their horses carried ammunition packs, and the cavalry carried a bird gun on their backs in addition to the traditional cold weapons. Whenever you engage an enemy, load your ammunition in advance, shoot once with a bird's gun, and then continue to charge. If the enemy is crushed by this charge, especially if the opponent has a large number of infantry, you can use traditional cavalry tactics to chase and kill; If the enemy is mainly cavalry and is more stubborn, quickly get rid of it, reload it in the process of retreating, and launch the next attack after it is finished. If the enemy chooses to flee, they can occupy important positions, at which point the cavalry becomes infantry, and can rely on horses and improvised fortifications for positional warfare.

This tactic effectively combines the mobility of cavalry with the powerful firepower of infantry, although it is only a start-up and is not yet proficient in use, but it is already very terrifying for an opponent of the level of a rogue. It was with this tactic that Lu Xiangsheng broke the thieves twice, and the thieves were forced to give up the siege of Pengcheng under strong pressure.

As soon as Zhang Yichuan, the leader of the thieves, heard that it was Lu Xiangsheng, he turned around and ran away without saying a word. On the one hand, this is a strategy that Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others have long decided, and his army is a bait to lure Lu Xiangsheng to fight. In case of running slower and the bait being eaten, there is no pity for Li Zicheng and the others.

On the other hand, Zhang Yichuan is indeed afraid of Lu Xiangsheng. He had a face-to-face with Lu Xiangsheng in the chaos of the army, when his men and horses had been defeated, and he was fleeing in a panic, when he suddenly saw Lu Xiangsheng personally leading the standard battalion to chase after him.

In Zhang Yichuan's impression, the officials of the imperial court all sat high in the city, and only let the generals and soldiers go into battle to fight. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiangsheng was such a big official, and he actually caught up with a big knife in person, and this indomitable momentum had already scared Zhang Yichuan into his soul. He rode alone for dozens of miles, leaving all his subordinates, even his wife and children, so that he was not captured alive by Lu Xiangsheng. Now these subordinates are not as good as before, if they don't run now, when will they stay?

Therefore, the thieves can be said to be defeated at the touch of a button, and the defeat is like a mountain. Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered the pursuit, because he only used visual inspection to judge that the opponent had at least tens of thousands of people, most of them were infantry, and they had no intention of fighting.

This one-sided pursuit battle lasted until dawn. Due to his early preparations, Zhang Yichuan escaped without incident, but about 2,000 thieves were killed and at least 5,000 were taken prisoner. In fact, after the Tianxiong army arrived, they didn't kill too many people, and more than half of the 2,000 dead were killed by Zhao Daring's platoon. Many of the rest had just been coerced into the gang, and when they saw the officers and soldiers chasing after them, they were so frightened that they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Jieyuan Koko is cool, Sun hates the war, and coldly points to the finger

After the battle, Lu Xiangsheng first fought bravely and held out until Zhao Daring and others arrived with reinforcements. More than half of Zhao Daring's platoon was killed or wounded, and he himself was seriously injured, but he killed thousands of enemies in just two hours, and such a brilliant record was unprecedented. Lu Xiangsheng immediately announced that all the following soldiers of Zhao Daring would be commended, all of them would be recorded as first-class meritorious service, and they would be played to the court to apply for the "Ming Hero" medal for Zhao Daring.

This "Ming Hero" medal was proposed by Zhu Youzhen after the Beijing Division Defense War, and only soldiers who have made great meritorious contributions are eligible to receive it, which is a very high honor in the army. At present, this medal has only been awarded to Zhao Shujiao and other generals who have sacrificed, and if Zhao Daring can obtain it, it will naturally be of great significance. As for the dead soldiers, the bodies were properly collected and transported back to Pengcheng, and they were buried after the war was over.

Another big thing was cleaning up the battlefield and disposing of prisoners. Cleaning up the battlefield is relatively simple, and the thieves don't have any decent weapons and equipment, just gather the corpses, dig a pit and bury them.

Dealing with captives is much more complicated. Originally, according to the laws of the imperial court, no matter whether the enemy was a thief or a rebel, in short, he committed the felony of rebelling against the imperial court, and he should be executed regardless of the head. But this time, Zhu Youzhen specially issued a secret decree to Lu Xiang, asking him not to kill the prisoners without permission, but he could not let them go casually because he felt that the prisoners were ordinary people, but they should all be gathered first, and then escorted to the rear in batches, and the court would send people to receive them.

In this way, Lu Xiangsheng has a lot of pressure. First of all, these prisoners have to take care of their food, and now the food of the officers and soldiers is still insufficient, and adding so many mouths is tantamount to adding so many mouths to make matters worse. Second, the captives must allocate their forces, otherwise there will be a big mess. Thirdly, there were old and weak women and children among the captives, and these people had to be taken care of, otherwise they would soon die in large numbers under such harsh conditions.

Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng is neither Yang He nor Hong Chengchou. Yang He is a white-faced scholar who does not understand the truth that the common people will rebel when they are hungry, and words alone cannot solve the problem; Hong Chengchou is the other extreme, he is ruthless and solves all problems by killing.

After the hatred and hatred of the department, the independent study was cold by the trouble

After the hatred and hatred, the sect became independent, and another major event was to clean up the battlefield and deal with the prisoners. Cleaning up the battlefield is relatively simple, and the thieves don't have any decent weapons and equipment, just gather the corpses, dig a pit and bury them.

Lu Xiangsheng is different, he can understand Zhu Youzhen's mentality that he not only regards the thieves from the common people as innocent and does not want to kill too much, but for the sake of the overall situation, he must resolutely put down the rebellion as soon as possible. Therefore, whenever a large number of prisoners are captured, Lu Xiangsheng will personally conduct a rough trial, first pick out the women and children who have not directly done evil, and treat them as favorably as possible; Then pick out the new ones who have been coerced into the gang and have never killed anyone, and in the end, the last ones left are the old qualified thieves who have been evil for many years. For those who play the role of bandits in the blood debt, they must ask for the sword of Shang Fang, and cut it first and then play.

This is a very large amount of work, and you must know that the officers and soldiers have recently captured more than 20,000 people, and today they have captured another 5,000. Although some of the captives had already begun to be escorted to the rear, the old and weak women and children could not rush through the ice and snow, and could only stay in the Pengcheng area, and the burden on the officers and soldiers was still very heavy. Lu Xiangsheng will also repeatedly warn them: You are not without capital crimes, but now you are the king of holy virtue, and I hope that you will change your mind in the future, be a new person, and do not live up to the grace of God. The captives were able to survive, and they were grateful, and on the whole they were obedient and did not cause any trouble.

Sun Yuan is not far away, and Sun Shumo is making trouble after the exam

However, today Lu Xiangsheng didn't have the heart to settle the prisoners for the time being, looking at the white land that had just been cleaned up and had become a vast white expanse, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought: What is the intention of the thieves to raid this time?
