Chapter 367: Behind Enemy Lines
Li Hui watched as he walked to see if the team was neat, this is a requirement of military regulations, no matter how hard and tired it is, the queue cannot be dispersed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Li Hui watched the brothers still move forward in a very neat manner, and he was satisfied.
This time it was a year later, Li Hui went out again, and now he is the general of the Jinghai Garrison.
After the bloody battle of Xuanchuan, he is also a veteran of the iron-blooded battle, this time, his heart is stable, the only thing he is concerned about is the new wife at home, he feels a little sorry for her, and he just went out to Dengzhou in January after marriage.
He saw that Guo Erpang in the queue was also looking at the team, and smiled in his heart, Erpang was also a long time, and he became a family a month ago.
His two brothers-in-law, Lu Hai and Luo Xiao, also walked in the team, alas, I hope they are all well and go home completely.
Liu Fugui, the commander of the front thousand, ordered all the soldiers to stop and rest.
Li Hui immediately ordered his 100 teams to sit down and rest, drink some water and rest.
Liu Fugui didn't sit down, he didn't feel too tired, although it was a rapid march for nearly two hours, his body resisted.
This time he went on an expedition different from the past, Liu Yin gave birth to a daughter at home, and he had a concern, a real concern, although he was not a son, but flesh and blood were connected, thinking of his daughter's white and tender little face, Liu Fugui's heart was warm.
He is not like Liu Yin, who is a little disgusted that he is not a son, his sister gave birth to a son for Zou Huaien, the family is very proud, Liu Yun even showed off, which made Liu Yin a little aggrieved.
Liu Fugui is as long as he is his own child, and the tragic death of his relatives in Liaodong makes him extremely stubborn towards his relatives, they are all relatives, and he doesn't care about the difference between men and women.
Liu Fugui knew why for this rapid march. It's just to get around Dengzhou. Waiting for Zhang Wenhuan on the official road here. Then control Zhang Wenhuan's entire army, and then, if Lord Zhao didn't say it, he didn't know.
Nam Yong rode a gray stone island horse on the official road, surrounded by 500 cavalry in front and behind, and now he is the commander of the cavalry of Jeju Town, commanding more than 1,000 cavalry with one person and two horses.
He led thousands of people to the east to face Zhang Wenhuan's direction, and Du Li, director of the Military Intelligence Department, also accompanied him. This is a giant-like existence, but Nan Yong doesn't dare to be careless.
Nan Yong touched his short hair with his hand, looked at the eastern sky, and some smoke and dust were rising in the distance, he knew that it was the night of the avant-garde sweeping the rebels.
A few cavalrymen came quickly, and they knew Nan Yong, and Zhang Wenhuan's department was five miles to the east.
Nan Yong ordered the horse to move forward.
Zhang Wenhuan marched west with 7,000 reinforcements and more than 10 cannons, and there were less than 1,000 cavalry in the reinforcements, and the rest were infantry. Not fast, of course.
The most dragging down the team was the more than a dozen imitation Hongyi cannons pulled by ox carts, and the official road was in disrepair. There are collapses everywhere, and these cannons fall into them from time to time, and once they do, they have to be dragged by people, and the trip is extremely delayed.
After walking for three days, it was close to noon, and the front was full of dust, and there was no report at night that a large number of Ming troops appeared in front.
The team was in chaos, wasn't there a large group of people in the big camp in Huang County on top of the front, how could a large number of Ming troops appear, how could this be.
Zhang Wenhuan sent his descendants to pacify the troops, all of whom were friendly troops, and went to the Huangxian camp together.
The soldiers gradually calmed down, and most of the rebels were under the command of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and the Dongjiang rebels, and now they are also dressed as the Ming army, only some of the powerful ruffians who joined later were dressed differently.
The other rebels were the same as the Ming army, wearing tattered Ming mandarin duck robes.
After a cup of tea, I saw a large force of cavalry coming closer, and I saw that they were wearing the new Ming army mandarin duck battle robes, full of iron armor, one person and two horses, trotting close to the team.
The strangest thing is that they all have face armor, and there are some patterns painted on the cotton armor, some of which are very terrifying, and they even draw the skeletons of dead people.
The rebels looked at these soldiers curiously, where is this, it's too extravagant, they can't even get together a cotton armor, this cadre soldier is all iron armor and body protection, or one person and two horses, which adult is this.
When Zhang Wenhuan saw Zhao Lie's subordinates approaching, he felt a little more at ease, and he estimated it.
Lao Han and Xiao Liuzi, who had been by his side, stepped forward to connect with Nan Yong, and Nan Yong approached to say hello to Zhang Wenhuan, not slacking off because he was a rebel who surrendered.
Zhang Wenhuan was also full of smiles.
Nan Yong led the army and walked towards the back of the team, his task was very simple, it was equivalent to watching Zhang Wenhuan's department and the main force of the adults converge.
The procession marched westward for two hours, and after crossing a small post, a large military formation appeared in front of them.
The cavalry accounted for more than half, and I saw them neatly lined up in seven phalanxes on both sides of the official road.
The strange thing is that there are not many human voices except for the neighing of horses, and there are really thousands of people as one.
Zhang Wenhuan was completely relieved to see this military formation, Zhao Lie had such a strong army, and he didn't need the imperial court soldiers and horses to attack, as long as Zhao Lie's troops went out of the battle, don't look at the Denglai rebels with nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, it would have to be defeated.
Back then, he had fought with Zhao Lie's troops, and he knew that the combat strength of Zhao Lie's troops and the Dongjiang cavalry army were all about to collapse at the first touch.
The only thing he was worried about before was that Zhao Lie's department was only three or four thousand people, and he had to leave some guards to guard Shidao, how many men and horses could fight to the death with Kong Youde.
Now he sees an army of 7,000, oh, no, there are 1,000 cavalry troops behind, what kind of strength is this, he is now on fire, his own step is right, the real abandonment of darkness and light is not.
His heart was hot, and many of the military leaders and soldiers under his command began to feel that something was wrong, and this could no longer be reinforcements.
No matter how dull their heads are, they know that this is not a reinforcement, but a serious official army, look at their appearance, look at their neat military formation and iron armor all over their bodies, only the official army has this kind of financial resources, but they don't know that it is Liaozhen and Jingying, and other soldiers do not have this kind of armor.
These rebels began to be confused, and at this time, the thousands of cavalry under Zhao Lie's command began to move, they outflanked from both flanks, swords and spears shining, horses' hooves rolling murderously.
They shouted to lay down their weapons and not kill, and the sounds of persuasion to surrender echoed in all directions.
With the exception of a few recalcitrant ones who were killed, the rest of the rebels happily laid down their arms.
Fighting cavalry in the wilderness is looking for death, and these rebels are definitely not stupid. The fool would have died in the chaos of war a long time ago.
Zhang Wenhuan's nearly 2,000 subordinates are even more refreshing. Seeing Zhang Wenhuan ordered. Immediately put down his weapon.
All the armor was taken away, and the soldiers were ordered to sit on the ground.
Zhang Wenhuan was taken by Du Li to the back of Zhao Lie's department.
Zhao Lie sat on a small hill under the entourage of five hundred guards, watching the old people who had come to Shidao to negotiate peace come by.
Zhang Wenhuan came to Zhao Lie's approach, was stared at by hundreds of pairs of sharp eyes, and was overwhelmed by the momentum of the guards around Zhao Lie, and he fell to his knees after a dozen steps away from Zhao Lie.
"The sin general Zhang Wenhuan knocked on Lord Zhao, and the sin will not disgrace the mission and introduce the 7,000 rebels into the command of the adult, and I hope that the sin will be rewarded for the sake of the sin. Forgiveness of sins will not die. Zhang Wenhuan kept kowtowing vigorously, but fortunately, the ground was full of grass, and he just had some more scratches.
"Get up, promise what you are waiting for, and it will be done." Zhao Lie helped him out.
Zhang Wenhuan still kowtowed, to be honest, he was also scared by the Ming officialdom, it didn't take too much, he was a traitor, and Zhao Lie would hand him over when he arrived.
"Who are you as an adult, saying in front of these pro-soldiers and generals that keeping you okay is nothing." Du Li on the side said impatiently.
Zhang Wenhuan got up and thanked him.
Zhao Lie asked him about the situation in Dengzhou. As well as the situation in Huang County, Zhang Wenhuan knows everything.
Wang Ziden had a busy day today. He was busy building the artillery position of the Hongyi cannon, and the reinforcements from Dengzhou were about to arrive, and he brought ten Hongyi cannons, which was a sharp weapon to break the formation.
The Battle of Shahe showed that the iron cavalry of Liaozhen was really invincible in the world, and the cavalry that defeated the rebels in just one face can be described as powerful.
Although because most of them were in iron armor and the horses were heavy, they could not pursue them with all their might, so there were not many rebels who were killed, but more than 1,000 people, but if there was a big battle here, Kong Youde, Mao Chenglu and he found that they had no way to restrain the iron cavalry of Liaozhen.
Then the best way is to put up a position to hold on, and then use Hongyi artillery to bombard the battle formation of the officers and soldiers, force it to collapse, and then pursue to break the enemy.
Kong Youde led all the cavalry to the march of the sluggish official army, while he stayed in the Huangxian camp to build low walls, towers, and artillery emplacements in preparation for the upcoming battle.
It was also a tiring day, and he slept on the pillow last night, and at the beginning of the day, there was a noise outside.
He got up and scolded a few times, who is so noisy and dreamy.
The guards reported that the Dengzhou reinforcements had arrived.
Wang Zideng was happy in his heart, no matter what, he also knew the bottom in his heart, although he had 50,000 soldiers in his battalion, but he still had no bottom, what is the Dinghai Divine Needle, or more than ten Hongyi cannons.
The rebels were also frightened by Liaozhen, and if there was Hongyi artillery to help, many rebels would have the confidence to break the formation.
Wang Ziden hurriedly put on his clothes, accompanied by his personal guards, and went to the gate of the camp, which was built for tens of thousands of soldiers when it was established, and to put it bluntly, this is the place where the rebels fought a decisive battle with the official army.
Therefore, the vastness of the camp can be imagined.
When Wang Zideng came to the camp gate accompanied by more than a dozen personal guards, Zhang Wenhuan had already come to the gate with his personal guards.
"How can you let Marshal Wang come out of the camp to greet you, sin, sin." Zhang Wenhuan hurriedly got off the horse and made amends.
Wang Zideng looked at Zhang Wenhuan in surprise, and said in his heart, Didn't you kid always rely on Kong Youde's henchmen to ignore me and Mao Chenglu, what is the situation today.
"General Zhang has worked hard. Wang's coming here is just the right thing to do. The prince smiled reservedly and arched his hand.
"It's better to thank Marshal Xie." Zhang Wenhuan arched his hand, he slandered in his heart, this official position set by Kong Youde is really ugly, all marshals, tsk, ugly.
Now Zhang Wenhuan has decided that anyway, everything about the rebels has been viewed from a different angle, and it is not pleasing to the eye.
"No need to be polite." Wang Ziden is so crooked, you may not be holding back something, otherwise you can talk so well.
"General Zhang, why did you come so fast?"
"Marshal Bing, my subordinates let a presidential soldier escort the artillery car, and we will take the first step, isn't this a military emergency?" Zhang Wenhuan is colorful.
Wang Zideng nodded, well, you kid can still prioritize the priorities.
Well, that's not right. (To be continued.) )
