"Wang Zhong, the chief soldier of Nanyang, and Ma Xianglin, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, where is it?"

"The last general!"

The Ming army stationed in Xingyang, after completely defeating Wang Ziyong and beheading him, was supplemented with military rations and silver money, so the morale of the army was bursting, Lu Xiangsheng took this opportunity, only rested in place for five days, and then raised the banner of the marshal, beat the drum and gathered the generals, according to the plan that had been discussed with Sun Chuanting and others, and began to prepare to deal with Gao Yingxiang who was entrenched in the west of Huaiqing Mansion.

"The two of you led the soldiers and horses of Nanyang in the headquarters and the soldiers and horses of the Shizhu battalion, starting from Xingyang, going north through Hejin, Henan Province, and besieging Gao Yingxiang from the south.

Lu Xiangsheng has no doubts about the combat effectiveness of Wang Zhong and Ma Xianglin's subordinates, these two departments only need to fight steadily and steadily, and they can force Gao Yingxiang to go east or flee north, no matter which road he takes, it will be a dead end.

"Whoa."

"Xu Chengming, the chief soldier of Henan, and Wang Jixun, the chief soldier of Shanxi."

"The last general!"

"The two of you, each with the Guizhou military horses of the headquarters and the soldiers and horses of the Shanxi Qingshui Battalion, go north to Weihui Mansion, enter Huaiqing from the east, and intercept the thieves."

"Whoa."

"Sun Futai,"

Seeing that the two armies in the south and east were well arranged, Lu Xiangsheng asked Sun Chuanting softly,

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower officials will definitely be in Heyin, planning money and food for the army, and they will definitely not ask the army to be short of a grain of grain."

This time to march into Huaiqing, the situation is much more complicated than in Xingyang, because it involves negotiations with the Qin army deployed at the provincial border, once things change, Sun Chuanting led thousands of Shanxi soldiers and horses as backup, and there is a response.

"So very good, the rest of the army, Keri set off, the army gathered under Huaiqing City, and one body wiped out the thieves!"

"Yes!"

……

On the eighth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the main force of the Ming army after returning to Xingyang to win a complete victory and recuperate for five days first went north to break the remnants of the thief army entrenched near Heyin. Kill seven hundred, capture no count, and finally call the west of Kaifeng Mansion, and there will be no more bandits. The first battle was successful, and the morale of the Ming army reached its peak, so the armies moved forward bravely, constantly squeezing the living space of the Liukou in Huaiqing Mansion.

And the current Gao Yingxiang did not incorporate the rout of the army that Wang used for his own use as he should have done in history. Naturally, there is no such thing as the 3,000 ironclad soldiers who are famous, and the size and quality of his army at the moment are not even comparable to the main force led by Wang Ziyong in Xingyang, so under the desperate attack of the main force of the 40,000 Ming army, he can only fight and lose in succession, and keep retreating.

The morale of all the soldiers is almost gone, first in the east of Huaiqingfu City. The pursued Ming cavalry defeated the vanguard, and then several Liukou divisions on the south road were also wiped out by Wang Zhong and Ma Xianglin, and the remaining about 30,000 people were intercepted by the main force of the Tianxiong army from Lu Xiangsheng, and by the middle of July, there were less than 7,000 people left around them.

Fortunately, most of the 7,000 people were young and strong and old soldiers, and they fled all the way to Zezhou, Shanxi. It's a pity that in the front, the Ming army Wang Jixun's troops who were intercepted from the eastern front also arrived in time to block their way.

In the case that Zuo Liangyu has been beheaded in public. Almost all the generals of the Ming army did not dare to support their own troops anymore, so under Lu Xiangsheng's strict orders, all the departments moved forward desperately, and the days of thieves became sad all of a sudden. If nothing else, Gao Yingxiang will spend his last days in this small mountain village in the northeast of Jiyuan, which is surrounded and blocked by the front and back.

"I didn't expect the Ming army in the east to be so brave all of a sudden, and they defeated the two strongest of the thieves within half a month, and even Wang Ziyong was killed, but I don't know what the situation is with Gao Yingxiang's department now."

After the reorganization, the three guards of the Qin army, the five field armies, the original guard town, officially changed to the Yulin Army, stationed in Taiyuan Mansion, its second town soldiers and horses, officially changed to the Tiger Wing Army, stationed in Datong Town, and the teaching town changed to the Shenwu Army, also stationed in Taiyuan.

It originally belonged to the first town to the first field army of the Qin army, stationed in Yulin, ready to transfer to the east at any time, originally belonged to the cavalry town to the second cavalry army of the Qin army field army, stationed in the south of Datong Town, ready to reinforce all over the country at any time,

The third town that originally belonged to Zhao Mosheng, changed to the third army of the Qin army, stationed in the southwest of Jin, the fourth town that originally belonged to Li Mao, changed to the fourth army of the Qin army, stationed in the southeast of Jin, originally belonged to the fifth town of Tan Wu, changed to the fifth army, and is now on the way to Sichuan,

Originally belonged to the Shaanxi garrison town, changed to the Shaanxi and Gansu garrison army, continued to be commanded by Zhang Erma, the whole army was changed to the Tuntian army, garrisoned the Shaanxi trilateral and Gansu Xingdu Division, originally belonged to the Shanxi garrison brigade, changed to the Shanxi garrison army, and at the same time included the Datong Tuntian army, under the unified command of Li Fugui.

The eight main armies and the two garrison armies are now not fully formed, and the recruitment of soldiers and the training of new recruits in full swing are unfolding, and the new firearms with exquisite craftsmanship and excellent workmanship are also equipping the whole army on a large scale, and the Qin army, which has many prisoners and criminals as laborers, under the command of Li Jing, continuously blew up the mountains with gunpowder and began to excavate coal and iron mines on a large scale.

With the support of coal firepower, 100 steels were manufactured on a large scale, which not only improved the quality of armor and firearms of the whole army, but also revolutionized knives to make these weapons of better quality.

At this time, the Fourth Army stationed in the southeast of Shanxi Province had two towns and an independent brigade after its reorganization, and the first brigade of this infantry town in the southeast of Zezhou was led by Bai Guangen of Shaanxi Province, and the first brigade had three battalion heads.

When the official army of the Ming Dynasty defeated Wang Ziyong and continued to advance westward, Bai Guangen couldn't sit still.

"Immediately send someone to Lu'an to report the truth, report the situation to the governor, transfer the first battalion, and immediately rush from Yangcheng to the south of Tianjing Pass, ready to enter the battlefield at any time."

Bai Guangen sat in Ningshan, looking at the south from afar, and felt a little anxious in his heart, the reorganization of the Fourth Army has not yet been completed, and the main force is still resting in the rear and cleaning up the local remnants, and now it is actually not ready for battle, if the main force of the Ming army takes the opportunity to enter Shanxi, then a brigade in Zezhou alone will not be able to completely resist.

"I only hope that the Governor can quickly send troops to reinforce immediately."

But even if there is only one brigade in his hands, Bai Guangen must insist on being ready to fight at any time, and the majesty of the Qin army is absolutely inviolable.

"Come on! The order went down, except for the three battalions of the third battalion, all of whom continued to guard against the interior, and the rest of the troops and horses were ready to be dialed at any time, and then asked the thousands of troops in Tuntian, Zezhou, to come to see me immediately. ”

The newly organized Zezhou garrison army thousand households is not the military household soldiers of the Ming army, this kind of garrison that adopts the employment and salary system, although it also cultivates military fields, but the harvest only needs to pay 30% as a tax, and there are additional military salaries to be taken when going into battle, and pensions can also be obtained, so the morale of this army is not the same.

"General Bai, if you have something to do, you just have to give orders, our Tuntian Army has not left training on weekdays, although it is not as elite as the main force, but all of them are men who can go into battle to kill the enemy."

Zezhou Tuntian Army Qianhu is an upright man, just missing an arm, which was lost in the Shaanxi war, at that time as a platoon of he, almost did not lose his life for this, but also because of this out of the main force, and so on Shanxi Tuntian Army when the expansion of the army, can not stand his pleading, and recruited back, assigned to Zezhou this boundary as the Tuntian Army of the thousand households, but also to make the best use of their talents.

"Wu Qianhu, how many men can your Tuntian army gather now?"

When the main force of the Ming army is approaching, even if it may not be possible to start a war, Bai Guangen must also make full preparations, the war is not a fluke, if it really starts, he must strictly defend and not retreat, at least to defeat the Ming army in the first confrontation, and then retreat to the city, relying on defense and waiting for the support of the main force.

So the more manpower, the better, even if it's the Tuntian army, he doesn't care.

"General Bai, you also know that our Tuntian army is scattered in various places, according to the scale of 1,500 people in a thousand households, the soldiers I can gather today are only 300 people, and I can gather 700 people in three days, no matter how much, I can only mobilize them from all over the country."

Wu Junen spoke in detail as usual, without stopping at all, which shows that he knows the details of the Tuntian army in various places.

"Okay, just gather your three hundred people and go up with me, in addition, the Tuntian army in various places must be immediately assembled, distribute weapons, stationed in the nearest city, and mobilize the people to defend the city, and then I will draw out the main forces of the above-mentioned cities and rush to the front line one after another, whether it is to fight, or to enter Henan Mansion, we will wait, now that the order has been issued, you can do it immediately."

Bai Guangen pondered for a while, defending the city and fighting, the Tuntian army also made do, at least it could be delayed, and therefore it was able to transfer hundreds of main troops and horses scattered in various cities to defend it, which was another force.

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

Wu Junen didn't dare to slack off, and let Bai Guangen say these words shows how bad the situation at the border has become.

"There are still not enough people, the Ming army is menacing, if you take the opportunity to invade the north, the garrisons of several passes and fortresses are not enough,"

Bai Guangen pondered that what he could use at hand was to abandon Yangcheng and mobilize a fully manned first battalion of the main force to Tianjing, but this was only 1,500 main forces, and the third battalion had two main forces and one reserve, which had to be stationed on the border between Zhangde and Henan Province in case of an invasion of the Ming army that might be dispatched at any time.

In this way, two battalions of his main force were pinned down, and now there are only three battalions of the second battalion at hand, all of which are more than 1,000 points, and they are still scattered and stationed in various places, and he can only lead more than 300 people under his command in one day, and more than 200 people in a reserve stationed in Zezhou City to set off immediately, and these 500 people are all the mobile strength of the first brigade.

No matter how much there is, there are only 300 Tuntian soldiers led by Wu Junen, and the two main forces of the second battalion reinforced in the follow-up are only 800 people, what can this little man do? (To be continued.) )
