But this escape, the shortcomings of the rebel army are undoubted.

There were also uprisings in the Song Dynasty, quite a few, but in the context of the Song Dynasty's overall emphasis on internal governance, the people did not go to the point where the people were not able to make a living, the scale was not very large, and they did not shake the root of the ruler. The earliest large-scale uprising was Li Shun Wang Xiaobo, the reason was not the oppression of the imperial court, but the implementation of the tea law reform by the imperial court made the interests of small and medium-sized tea merchants, including Li Shun himself, impacted, and dissatisfied with the political axe. However, because of the slogan of equalizing the rich and the poor, the uprising added a lot of points.

Fang La's uprising had a legitimate reason, which made Song Huizong's Hua Gangshi make the people's lives miserable, but Fang La's brutality caused the people to resent, and finally failed.

Wang Lun's uprising has little to do with the ruler's mistakes, although the Yizhou officials have not done very well, but on the whole, the ruler has worked hard, what can people do with natural disasters? Yuan Hao's invasion war is not a war, and Yuan Hao cannot be allowed to invade and occupy Shaanxi regardless of it, and eventually lose the country.

Without a valid reason and lacking great ambition, he actually went all the way south and marched to the richest area of the Song Dynasty, and the surname of the bandit was undoubtedly revealed.

The bandits were brought on this escape.

What is a bandit, that is, a bandit, one is money, the other is a woman, and neither of them is reluctant. This time, Wang Lun's army was also indispensable, including Wang Lun himself, and he also captured three or four flower-like girls for him to have fun. A hundred horses were captured in the army, all of which were loaded with women and wealth, which affected the speed of escape.

But Wang Lun didn't pay attention, Zheng Lang was well disguised, and he had always placed the army in Tianchang County, and the closest place to their escape route was more than forty miles away. Being so far away gave Wang Lun a sense of security.

The second Wang Lun was born in the Song Army in Yizhou, what the Song Army was like before, Zheng Lang knew very well, the simplest point, he didn't pay much attention to the scout work, he would send scouts, and he would find out that he had come to Tianchang, but he was not very cautious.

And Zheng Lang attaches the most importance to scouts.

And he has always been very afraid of the military, although after the baptism of several wars, he has been influenced by famous generals such as Chong Shiheng, Di Qing, Zhang Qi, Wang Xin, etc., and his military strategy has made great progress, but he has always been very afraid in his heart. This fear is the natural awe of human life in the psychology of later generations of otaku. has self-confidence, let him lead this army to suppress the huge Fangla army, without this courage, or to suppress the complex terrain of Shuibo Liangshan heroes and Yang Qi's army, he also does not have the courage. But the suppression of Wang Lun's more than 200 people was full of confidence.

It's a level of faith, and in practice he's very careful.

This includes the choice of terrain, forbearance, and scouts.

After coming to Tianchang, Jiang Kui selected a few clever officials, pretending to be fishermen, pretending to be fishermen, and monitoring the movements of Wang Lun's army from afar.

When night came, Wang Lun took his subordinates, as well as more than 100 horses, donkeys, and mules, with a large amount of captured money and silk, as well as more than 40 young girls who were kidnapped, rushed to Baimatang, not to the southwest, but to flee all the way west to Chuzhou.

But Wang Lun didn't pay attention, a few miles away in the lake after seeing their movements, quietly rocked the small fishing boat to the shore, did not prepare horses, too conspicuous, but prepared donkeys, one by one got off the boat, rode on donkeys, and hurriedly ran towards Tianchang County.

Zheng Lang received the news that it was almost close to the third watch, and when he heard that Wang Lun had brought forty sisters, he laughed and laughed.

He has always had a fair attitude towards the rebel army, such as the later Red Army, how it was to the common people. Even if Li Zicheng was still very kind to the common people before he entered Yanjing, Wang Lun also called the peasant uprising?

There is no hurry, the righteous army to the west is very beneficial to him, the terrain of Tianchang is generally high in the west and low in the east, the terrain from the east to the northeast is low-lying, there are many rivers and ditches, even if the rebels cross the White Horse Pond, it is not conducive to the play of their own cavalry.

However, the southwest region is hilly and undulating, and it seems that this army is trying to sneak into this hilly area, all the way to Chuzhou, where there are many mountains and lofty mountains, which can lurk and attack. The idea is good, but at their rate, they will not reach the edge of the hill before tomorrow morning. The edge of the hill is high and flat, and even if there are some undulating mounds, it does not prevent the cavalry from galloping.

Zheng Lang still had time to issue an order, ordering the three counties of Lai'an, [***], and Chuzhou to send officials to cooperate with the other two departments to arrest them, so as not to escape when the rebel army was defeated. Only then did Zhao Sheng shout out, he was hit by two arrows last time, and he was still fighting bloodily, entering the capital, Zhao Zhen took the time to meet him, gave him 100,000 money, and some cloth, this person became Zhao Zhen's diehard, even more loyal than Zhe Jimin.

Originally, Zheng Lang wanted to take Zhao Bao out, but he couldn't quarrel and didn't dare to be rude to Zheng Lang, but he almost faced Zhao Bao with his sword. Zhao Bao is helpless, uncle, you can, let you go.

Just waiting for this moment, when he heard Zheng Lang's order, he was overjoyed, and immediately gathered all the soldiers in the military camp.

The combat effectiveness is the strongest, and the treatment is also the most generous, because of the many meritorious services, the lowest soldier has also been promoted to the captain of the accompaniment and the deputy lieutenant of Renyong from the ninth grade, but there is not a single soldier from the ninth grade. Many people are soldiers, but they all have the duties of the imperial court's eight-rank and nine-rank military generals.

But if you want to be treated well, you have to be promoted.

One by one, they got up with a roar, put on armor, put on weapons, and prepared their horses.

Only at this time, one by one, the fierce faces appeared, making Jiang Kui and a cadre of officials look at the cold sweat.

Zheng Lang also wore armor, and Jiang Kui said: "Zheng Xianggong, you are also in battle?" ”

Zheng Lang smiled and said, "If I don't go, who will command?" ”

"It's kind of bad."

"It's okay, it's just two hundred or dozens of rogues, and I'm not afraid of facing hundreds of thousands of Western Xia enemies in the northwest, can I let two hundred rogue robbers scare away?"

Jiang Kui couldn't make a sound.

Zheng Lang said again: "Jiangzhi County, you also have to be prepared, once the battle is fought, there will inevitably be many crops trampled by horses, you must do a good job in the aftermath of the work, pacify the people, and also send officials to prepare for arrest, especially in the southwest hilly area, so as not to let them flee anywhere, so as not to continue to hurt the people in the future." ”

"Whoa."

"Then you should also go."

"Whoa." Jiang Kui replied stiffly. Zheng Lang went first, and he was also going to set off, leading people to prepare for the capture.

But he also admired Zheng Lang's courage, and watched Zheng Lang leave with two hundred riders, and he said to the county lieutenant: "The little minister is a guts. ”

"He is a star in the sky......" said a young official.

It's not a star, and I can't do it, but at this time it's a starry night and a pleasant night breeze.

Turning to the southwest, there is a vast river beach wetland, where red grass grows, and it is only red in autumn, when the stems turn from green to yellow, and the noble and charming figure flashes in the night.

Zheng Lang exhaled.

Still not in a hurry, wait until dawn to help eyesight, and the higher the terrain to the west, it is also convenient for the cavalry to play. There was also dawn, the sky was bright, but the weather was not too hot, and at noon, in late June, the weather was long and drenched, which was not conducive to his own army of Jurchens.

This is a real cavalry, although there are canals, but the day is long and mature, there are many stone bridges all the way to reach, the speed is very fast, to the designated place. The sky has not yet dawned, and the fifth watch has just come, if it is according to the timekeeping time of later generations, it will be about four o'clock at this time.

Zheng Lang sent out twenty people, formed a scout, and went to the front to investigate.

After a while, the scouts came to report, and the enemy was only a dozen miles away from this time. However, Wang Lun also saw the scouts, and the team stopped, and while arguing, they also sent scouts over.

Zheng Lang looked at the sky and said, "Continue to investigate, and kill the enemy's spies." ”

"Whoa." The scout went down again.

It was not yet dawn, but the morning star was particularly dazzling in the eastern sky, and the distant sky was slightly red, not very conspicuous, and could not be seen if you were not careful. It's not dawn, but it's not far from dawn, and the cool morning breeze is blowing, cool and pleasant.

It is the good time of the decisive battle.

After a while, the scouts came back again to report that Wang Lun had sent four scouts who had all been killed, and did not alarm Wang Lun's army for the time being, but Wang Lun was very hesitant at this time, and there seemed to be signs of retreating to the east.

If they can't be evacuated to the east, Zheng Lang said: "Zheng Su, Zheng Huang, each of you will lead thirty soldiers to hunt and shoot along the edge of the thieves, Zhang Xiu and Wang Suo, you will each lead ten spies on both sides to continue patrolling, and do not let the thieves escape." After stopping the enemy from fleeing to the east, join up with our army and listen to my orders. ”

It turned out that these Jurchen people had strange surnames, and some of them had no names at all. Later, after entering the Song Dynasty, each changed the Han surname, Zhao Bao Zhao Sheng is the royal surname, which was given by Wang Zhaoming to Zhao Zhen, and many Fanzi wanted to change their surname to Zheng, but Zheng Lang disagreed.

Until after coming to the capital, Zheng Su, Zheng Huang and other five people were awarded the captain of Zhenwei from Liupin, Ban Zhi and the head of the border army for merit, and Zhao Zhen issued an order to allow these five people to be surnamed Zheng. Zheng Lang is still a little unhappy, what is the surname really important? Instead, there is the impression of a faction.

Fifty mermaids rode down their horses, and Zheng Lang said, "Follow me." ”

Slowly led the main force down to the east.

The terrain here is still relatively high, with swamps and low-lying areas, but not much, and it is still suitable for cavalry combat.

The battle has begun.

Zheng Lang has been reforming the cavalry, and he is very envious of the wolf pack tactics of Genghis Khan's light cavalry, but for various reasons, the transformation has not been successful. But this Jurchen people have left a deep mark on their bodies, light armor, light bows, scimitars, riding the best war horses, fighting fiercely, especially very fast, the skills of horse fighting and horse archery are also very superb, and there is already the figure of Yuanmeng's invincible light cavalry army in the world.

Zheng Su and Zheng Huang came roaring from the south and the north, Wang Lun was very nervous at this time, but he still ordered the captive woman to dismount and prepare for the battle. There were not many people, and although they were nervous, they were not afraid. However, to his surprise, the two cavalry armies did not attack, and kept a distance of seventy or eighty paces, and suddenly opened their bows and arrows, and continued to gallop eastward while shooting.

Seventy or eighty paces is a relatively safe distance, just the edge of the range of ordinary bows and arrows, but the surname is different, the Song army is running on horseback, and the target is difficult to aim, but the righteous army is standing on the horse, which is a good target for arrows.

After only two rounds of shooting, the Song army had already galloped out of the range of the rebels, staying on the two places in the east and not moving, unscathed, but the rebels fell nearly ten soldiers. Then Zhang Xiu and Wang Suo each led ten soldiers to continue to swim two hundred paces away.

The sky was also bright, and the morning sun rose in large clusters, which was very lovely.

Zheng Lang's Chinese army arrived at the same time.

Standing on the slope of more than a hundred paces, Zheng Lang shouted loudly: "I am Zheng Lang, resist and kill, kill those who escape, those who surrender put down their weapons and stand by in place, I will spare your life." ”

It is impossible not to deal with it, but as long as they surrender, Zheng Lang can indeed save their lives. And he is very trustworthy, and what he says is almost a golden signboard. The round of shooting just now also showed the power of this Song army to the righteous army.

Some of the rebels began to shake their hearts, and their weapons gradually loosened their hands...... Wang Lun snorted and said, "What are you afraid of, there are only more than two hundred of them, not more than us." ”

With this shout, some of the rebels cheered up again.

Zheng Lang waved his order, Zheng Su and Zheng Huang turned their horses' heads again, and another round of shooting, this time Wang Lun was prepared, and he also snatched some weapons from various counties in the Song Dynasty, including good bows. organized people to fight back and shot two soldiers, but these Song troops were completely different from the Song troops he had faced before, and no matter how many people died in the battle of Dingchuanzhai, they did not shake the morale of the army, and only two people were sacrificed. Three other people were wounded by arrows, but they did not retreat to the rear to heal their wounds, but continued to follow the army, turning their horses' heads again, turning their heads and shooting again. After two rounds of guerrilla, nearly 30 volunteers fell one after another.

Zheng Lang shouted again: "I am Zheng Lang, those who resist will be killed, those who flee will be killed, and those who surrender will live." ”

"Don't listen to his nonsense, if we surrender, we will also die, rush over, grab this prime minister, and use the woman as a shield," Wang Lun said.

One by one, they grabbed the captive girls and blocked them on both sides, made living shields, and strode over. Zheng Lang's eyes flashed with anger, and he commanded again with a banner, Zheng Su Zheng Huang and Zhang Xiu Wang Suo The two armies converged, killed from both wings, and said to Zhao Sheng: "Kill." ”

"Whoa."

Zhao Sheng led the main army to kill him.

In this flat place, the cavalry is a nightmare for the infantry, and the rebels are the strongest cavalry against it. Seeing more than 150 cavalrymen rushing like wolves, many of the rebels had automatically laid down their weapons and lay on the ground. There are also many extremely vicious, raising weapons to resist, but the three Song armies are like tigers and wolves, hanging and killing in the middle of them, only two waves of strangulation, the righteous army collapsed, about 50 people scattered and fled, and more than 40 people lay on the ground and shouted for mercy, and more than 100 people were either killed, or fought in a bloody battle, but there were too few people, and even some people did not know whether to live or die on their horses and prepared to fight immediately, and they died faster with their riding skills. Compared with the fierce, this rebel army is very fierce, still not as fierce as the Border Army, speaking of martial arts, there are many outlaws in this Righteous Army, there are some martial arts, but the Border Army has a better physique, maybe no martial arts, but the fighting skills are stronger.

No matter how stubbornly they resisted, they were killed one by one.

The sun slowly rose, and after Wang Lun's fierce hands killed the two Jurchens, Wang Suo's head was cut off with a knife, and there were still more than a dozen volunteers left to see Wang Lun killed and fled again.

Zheng Lang left some people to clean up the battlefield and release the captured women, while the rest continued the pursuit.

The woman wanted to send her back to her hometown, but she didn't expect to get an unexpected harvest, Wang Lun went all the way south, looted everywhere, and harvested a lot, and got more than 6,000 pieces of silk, 3,000 taels of gold, more than 7,000 taels of silver, more than 14,000 copper coins, and a number of jewels, the value of which was not less than 30,000 yuan.

The pursuit continued, but nets were laid on all sides, and Zheng Lang immediately let the cavalry disperse the pursuit, and if he wanted to escape from this land, it would be more difficult for this rebel army than it would be for Shangqingtian. But the battle is over, and that's what Zheng Lang wants.

Wang Lun traversed the two armies of three states, traveling nearly thousands of miles, plus six or seven neighboring state capitals, and the number of troops that could be mobilized reached more than 10,000 people. However, Zheng Langlai only led more than 200 horsemen, and wiped out this army in less than an hour. So what did the imperial court do with raising more than 10,000 troops!
