Chapter 669: Where Did the Freak Army Come From?
A thief is also a child?
Li Zilong and others didn't say it, but they didn't agree with it in their hearts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Whether a person is a good citizen or not can sometimes really be seen. Not to mention that after he had already broken the law!
It's like a tiger, before he has eaten a human, he doesn't know if human flesh is good, and the consequences are not great. Therefore, in general, with a 99% chance, he will not eat people.
And once the tiger ate the man, he knew that the consequences were not big, and the human flesh was still delicious. Hehe, then it's out of control.
Even if he is honest for a while, he can't forget the deliciousness of human flesh.
The same is true of these rogue captives, all of whom are full of vices. Like the old fritters, they have tasted the pleasure of robbery, murder, arson, and forced women. How likely is it that you let them farm honestly and never do it again?
Even if there is an honest possibility, the possibility of recidivism is hundreds of times greater than the hidden danger of ordinary people.
Maybe they'll bring other good people under their rule with them!
Therefore, Li Zilong and others explained that the logistics personnel who stayed behind in the property would leave Ruzhou immediately as soon as they had the opportunity, as long as the person who responded came. After that, they set off for Luoyang in a large army!
It is about 200 kilometers from Ruzhou to Luoyang, although there is an official road, but it is in disrepair, let alone it.
However, the Zhu family army has a large number of carriages, mules and horses, which does not require too much manpower, and the quality and physique are also good, so even if it is pulled on the cannon, it is barely feasible to go.
Halfway through, there was a sentry intelligence that did not collect at night, and the many bands of thieves who ran away are now gathering in all directions, which is really a small strong that cannot be killed.
The army had no danger all the way, so that Chen Yongfu, who was traveling with him, was very happy, and he went on the road alone, afraid that he would be ambushed many times.
Finally, ten days later.
Luoyang is not far in front of you!
Luoyang City, the world-famous world-class ancient capital, the capital of the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei, Sui, Wuzhou, late Tang, Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, etc.
Luoyang is known as the "ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties", the state of emperors and the birthplace of Chinese civilization.
It is adjacent to Zhengzhou in the east, Sanmenxia in the west, Jiaozuo across the Yellow River in the north, and Pingdingshan and Nanyang in the south. It is about 179 kilometers long from east to west and 168 kilometers wide from north to south.
Luoyang covers an area of 15,208 square kilometers, even if the ancient city of Luoyang at this time is not calculated according to the planning of later generations, you can make you sweat in it.
The magnificent city of Luoyang is like a picture scroll, towering there.
On the horse, the generals of the Zhu family army observed Luoyang with binoculars, looking at this magnificent and majestic city, and couldn't help but sigh.
"If you ask about the ancient and modern things, please only look at Luoyang City, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!"
Just when Li Zilong sighed at the magnificence of Luoyang.
The base camp of the thieves!
Why is Zhu Jiajun's artillery so powerful?
"There are red-clothed cannons in the big city, and only Luoyang City and Kaifeng City are in Henan, but these cannons are all defending the city, and I have never seen them used in the wilderness. It's strange, I don't know how Zhu Jiajun pushed it on the road, it's not very reasonable. I've heard they travel light! Yuan Zongdi said.
Another thief general suddenly thought of something and said: "King Chuang, according to my opinion, this artillery of the Zhu family army may be a novel firearm among the officers and soldiers. After all, Shandong is close to the sea and has been fighting with foreign enemies all year round, and it is normal to have many novel firearms. It may even be a cannon that was bought, in short, the officers and soldiers in the hinterland cannot compare with ......"
Gao Yingxiang's fingers tapped on the table next to him, and then said: "Our next battle must not be as ...... as Ruzhou."
Li Zicheng interface: "King Chuang, there are many counties that our righteous army has fought, and there are many sophisticated firearms and artillery in front of the cities we have captured. It's just inconvenient to transport it, and it's still in the rear. At that time, artillery against artillery, but the key is that the soldiers and horses of the Zhu family army are very fine and have high combat power. To destroy these 7,000 people, the casualties of our old battalion will definitely be great, great, great........."
Li Zicheng's opinion is obviously a very real problem, and everyone is helpless.
After a while, Gao Yingxiang shook his head unwillingly: "It's strange, how could there be such an officer and soldier in Daming...... And it is said that the whole army has not yet been dispatched, which is really strange! ”
Everyone present was groaning, feeling that this Zhu Jiajun was different, and the various tactics they were good at couldn't be used at all.
If they bumped into other officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they would soon be finished after a few ambushes. After all, their morale is not aligned, their preparation is not good, and their morale is not high.
Hard-hitting, the army has not encountered a few times, the old camp is their foundation, and no matter how heavy the losses are, it is really unbearable.
Thinking about it like this, everyone had a headache, feeling that this Zhu family's army was too difficult to get into.
In the middle of the sound, Hao Shaoqi scolded: "Donkey ball, he is numb, and he says that the border army of the Ming Dynasty, such as Guan Ningbing, is very powerful." The soldiers and horses of the Zhu family army are more powerful than them, how can the freak come out...... No wonder they were able to defeat the Houjin army! ”
Suddenly, Niu Jinxing stood up, and after saluting Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang, he looked around and said: "King Chuang, general, generals, students, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
Li Zicheng said cordially: "Mr. has something to say, please ......"
Niu Jinxing smiled and saluted, and said, "Speaking of which, this Shandong Zhu Jiajun has to start with the Dragon Marquis of the Four Seas......
This said that it was an hour, and Niu Jinxing told Zhu Zilong a rough idea of the ins and outs.
All the thieves were amazed when they heard this, and in the end, they all took a breath, thinking that this Dragon Marquis of the Four Seas is really amazing, and his ability is not small.
Gao Yingxiang thought for a while, and suddenly said: "This Dragon Marquis of the Four Seas has made such a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, but in the end, he always suppressed the civil officials, he should be dissatisfied with the imperial court, can he win over the side of the righteous army?" ”
Niu Jinxing shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's impossible, because the emperor still reuses him, and he has the grace of knowing and encountering." ”
Li Zicheng on the side pondered for a long time: "According to Mr. Nayi's opinion, what are the good means to deal with his Zhu family's military horses?" ”
Niu Jinxing stroked his beard and smiled: "The mountain people have their own clever plans, and they have re-raised the banner of the king by breaking into the king, and swept through many states and counties in Henan Province in a few months, leaving only Luoyang and Kaifeng two lonely cities. We rely on countless popular hearts and guerrilla tactics! To capture Luoyang City, it is also in this righteous people. No matter how much the Zhu family's army can fight, the righteous people will rise up, open the city, and cause trouble to the Xiao Wall, and they will definitely lack the skills to return to the sky. This is one of them! ”
"Second, that is, you can encircle the point to fight, wait for work, and lengthen the logistics line of the officer army. Wang Shaoyu, the chief soldier of Kaifeng Prefecture, was greedy and incompetent, and he deducted military salaries on weekdays, and his subordinates had already complained. Chen Yongfu was ordered to rescue Luoyang, Kaifeng Mansion was empty, if we attacked Kaifeng first, what would happen? If there is support from the officers and soldiers, send reinforcements first! ”
As soon as Niu Jinxing's words came out, the eyes of Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others immediately lit up.
