Chapter 372: Zuo Liangyu's Second Journey to Death
Outside the north gate of Xingyang, Qin Yiming personally commanded the main force of the white pole soldiers in front, Zhang Shiyi on the left, Lu Zongmei on the right, and more than 2,000 people led by Yang Zhengxin in the back, with a total strength of about 9,000 people, even more than the main force of the thief army consumed by the siege. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The official army has always been at war with the thief army, ten times weaker than the thief, and it can still be easily defeated, so the force is almost 1:1, and it is a surprise attack, so don't fight too easily, the cavalry and white pole soldiers led by Qin Yiming are even more elite in a hundred battles, and they have fought with Jiannu in the north.
Fight thieves on weekdays, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up, and I'm afraid that I can't beat them?
Just saw that Qin Yiming personally led the army in front, rushing all the way to kill, and the soldiers did not hesitate, while the thieves were collapsed by the sudden blow, and even one of the leaders of the command rear team was beheaded before he could even say the words of warning, which was counted as a military achievement.
"Kill~!"
The swept officers and cavalry brought endless killing, this is an unprecedented big thief, the nearly 10,000 thieves in front of him, if all of them are killed, what a great merit it is, so before no one issues a clear surrender order, not even a single Ming army will stop the movements of their hands,
In their eyes, these thieves who are fleeing everywhere are white flowers, and in this world, there is anything more lovely than silver?
After suffering a sudden and fierce attack, the main force of the thief army was no longer tenable, and they did not even have a counterattack on the scale of a hundred people, so with the flow of defeated people, they retreated to other places.
"Reinforcements have finally arrived, and the armies have rushed out with me."
Fu Chuanzhu finally raised his eyebrows, held Xingyang, and waited for reinforcements to come, but something embarrassing happened to him, in the process of the siege of the thief army, in order to prevent the city gate from being knocked open, they deliberately moved stones and bricks to block the city gate. This is the posture of preparing to defend to the death.
But now, the things that prevent the thief army have become an obstacle that prevents their soldiers and horses from going out of the city to chase and kill, and they can only stand on the city wall dryly, looking at the military exploits below them with their eyes. That's all money!
"Forget it, the reinforcements have arrived, and we can save our lives and wealth, and besides, the general's efforts to resist the onslaught of the thief army for four days will be a great achievement. It's not a problem to be promoted to a knight, so why bother with such external achievements. ”
Chen Yinglong changed the previous tense atmosphere between the two sides, and said with a smile, the situation is changing rapidly, of course, they as officials, of course, can not only be obsessed with the small profits in front of them, now the defense of Xingyang has won a complete victory, they at least killed more than 4000 enemies, this credit, no one can take away this credit.
Chen Zhixian, oh no, after this war, the magistrate who has made meritorious service in guiding the local garrison and guarding the safety of the army and the people on one side must at least become the prefect.
"It's fate."
Fu Chuanzhu, who knew the importance of the thief's head, could only smile bitterly, looking at the Ming army chasing and slashing under the city, he was also helpless, but it was useless to envy, the Ming army that came was at least around the scale of 10,000 people. There was no way the thief would have lasted until the moment he left the city.
"Run, run! Ignore the rear army, and order the army of Xicheng to retreat immediately. Don't join me. ”
Even after holding out for less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Ziyong collapsed first, in fact, if his old battalion soldiers and horses could be successfully commanded, they might not be able to fight, but their spirit was defeated. And the leader also ran away, so no one wanted to wait for death in the same place, and everyone ran south with all their brains.
The two bandit armies in the north and east are completely finished, and under the sudden attack of more than 20,000 elite Ming troops, it is impossible for them to stand still, unless Wang Ziyong makes a quick decision, orders the old battalion soldiers and horses to block, and then let the southwest two armies come up to reinforce, but unfortunately, he ran away.
"The main force of the thieves went to the south, lit the beacon smoke, warned the armies, chase and kill with all their lives, I only need the head of the thief!"
Lu Xiangsheng gave him the nickname Lu Maniac, his style at the moment, not like a governor of the court at all, but like a brave general, with a horse in his crotch, holding the iconic long knife in both hands, running hard to chase and kill, but it was precisely because of him as the commander-in-chief that he personally fought in front of him, so the soldiers under his command became more and more courageous, almost to the point of blindly following.
Taking your army as an example, 3,500 men and horses were almost a role of collapse at the touch of a button when they put down the rebellion in the southwest, but after going north to aid Henan, under the personal command of Lu Xiangsheng, they were also able to take the initiative to fight in the field and win the battle.
"Kill~!"
The whole battlefield, there is no structure at all, everywhere is the Ming army chasing and killing the enemy, everywhere is the cavalry army running by, chasing and cutting the Liukou, the overall situation has been decided, but there are still 30,000 horses on the southwest two roads The other main force of the Liukou is the next important target of the Ming army, and now Qin Yiming, who is chasing and killing from the north, has also been ordered,
Then with his soldiers and horses, and Wang Jixun, the deputy general of the Qingshui battalion, led one or two thousand people, he quickly pursued southward, and behind them was the three thousand Tianxiong army commanded by Lu Xiangsheng himself.
……
"Report, Lord General Soldier, the Governor of Henan, and the Governor of Shanxi will order the following, ordering the General Soldier to quickly go north from Mi County to intercept the defeated soldiers, and if one person is let go, he will be dismissed and investigated."
Zuo Liangyu, who was in Mi County, listened to the military order sent by his subordinates, and suddenly hesitated, and muttered,
"It shouldn't be, Lu Futai was still returning to Germany to suppress thieves last month, and his subordinates were too busy to take care of themselves, how could there be so many troops to defeat the main force of the thieves in one fell swoop, how many people do you need?"
I don't know that Qin Yiming has led more than 10,000 Beijing camps to the south to participate in the war, and now he has no confidence in his heart, if the imperial court defeats the main force of the Liukou in the west, then what will he do? Now stationed in Mi County to intercept the thief army, if the thief army is wiped out, doesn't it mean that the time to settle accounts after the autumn has come?
"What do you mean, Lord Chief?"
Zuo Liangyu can support the army and respect himself, of course, he can't do without the support of his generals, and now seeing that the imperial court has won a complete victory in Xingyang, and the military orders sent are more and more harsh than the other, they are also starting to be afraid, so they all hope that Zuo Liangyu can come up with a solution.
"I intend to send troops to the north immediately, if I can kill the king for his own use, take it as self-preservation, what do you think?"
Zuo Liangyu pondered for a moment, and then said what he thought in his heart, but these words attracted the dissatisfaction of Tang Jiuzhou, who was also the deputy chief soldier of Changping Town.
Without him, Tang Jiuzhou, as the deputy commander-in-chief, led the army to rescue Shanxi last year, but was attacked by the Qin army Li Mao's department, and on the way to escape, he was captured by the thief army, and fortunately the Qin army fought with the thief army again, he barely escaped and returned to the old department, but it happened that this matter was known to Zuo Liangyu,
If this matter was reported to the imperial court, Tang Jiuzhou would have to be imprisoned and beheaded, but it was the same way, he had to commit himself to Zuo Liangyu, hoping that he would not tell him about it, and the later things would of course be logical.
The two deputy commanders joined forces and helped each other, of course, it greatly boosted Zuo Liangyu's hidden thoughts, whether it was the hatred of the court for questioning the guilt back then, or the current situation in the country, it made Zuo Liangyu have a different heart, that is, to support the army and respect himself, wait for the price and sell, no matter which side he votes for, he must have troops at hand to protect himself.
This is also one of the reasons why the soldiers and horses of Changping Town have not moved in Henan Mansion.
"The general army wants to go north, but dare to ask a general soldier, as the saying goes, the poor are not chasing, Wang Ziyong is the generalissimo of the righteous army, the strength is the most abundant, even if he was defeated in Xingyang, but the main force has not been lost, there are still thousands of murderous old battalions of soldiers and horses under his command, the general army is blocked by the soldiers of Mi County in person, and the soldiers will inevitably be lost.
These words completely confused Zuo Liangyu, and the general Zhao Zhu took the opportunity to speak,
"Lord Commander-in-Chief, Governor Lu deceives people too much, there are so many thieves, let one person go, he will be questioned, aren't we three heads and six arms, can An be able to do an impassable containment? Isn't this forcing adults to die? We waited for three or four thousand brothers in Changping Town, but they were all dissatisfied. ”
Can you be convinced, follow Zuo Liangyu to wreak havoc in Henan Province, eat fragrant and drink spicy, don't fight, just stretch out your hand to the court to ask for silver, and slaughter the soldiers and civilians in the place without merit, this kind of life is simply too comfortable, now let them go and fight with the main force of thieves, who wants to go!
"So what are we going to do?"
Seeing that the generals under his command all opened their mouths to oppose it one by one, Zuo Liangyu also hesitated, after all, his evil deeds are known to others, if he loses the army, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be completely abandoned, so the army is the foundation of his life, and it must not be easily consumed.
"Didn't Futai order us to go out of Mi County to intercept the thieves? We were originally stationed in Henan Mansion, and now the Liukou are running south, just to break away from the main force of Futai, but they are out of danger, whether they go to the east or west to Henan Mansion, no one knows, since we are stationed in Henan Mansion, we should serve the local area, we just need to set up a formation to the west and block the way of the Liukou. ”
Tang Jiuzhou also offered a strategy, anyway, in his heart, the thieves are not so stupid, they are arrayed in the west, could it be that the rogues don't have eyes, and they can still bump into them in a daze?
"Very well, and they did as they were."
When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he no longer hesitated, anyway, as long as the rogues were there, the imperial court would not be able to spare their hands to deal with him, if he wanted to forcibly dismiss his military power, then it was time to ask the generals under his command if they agreed!
So, Zuo Liangyu and others began their second journey of death without knowing it...... (To be continued.) )
