Chapter 369: Kong Youde's grief and indignation

There is an unknown small village Xin Zhuangzi next to the official road leading to Huang County in Laizhou, thousands of cavalry led by Kong Youde and Mao Chenglu will be crowded here, and the people in it shout and neigh loudly, it is the most lively time in the history of Xinzhuang, and it is also the most miserable one.

Kong Youde did not rest in the villagers' houses, which were all dilapidated adobe houses, narrow and dirty, and it was enough for him to take a look, and it was unimaginable for him to sleep there.

Fortunately, it is the end of summer, and it is cooler to sleep outside, so Kong Youde and his party are lying outside with clothes.

Kong Youde slept all night, and was woken up by mosquitoes at the beginning of the morning, where there were war horses, mosquitoes gathered, which was really inevitable.

In the past, Kong Youde just continued to sleep without delay, and the fact that he was marching and fighting was also a thing, and he Kong Youde had never suffered anything.

But this morning, he couldn't sleep at all, because the pressure was too much.

In the first battle of Shahe, the forward of the 3,000 cavalry and the 3,000 infantry under his command was defeated as soon as the Liaozhen iron cavalry joined the battle, especially the cavalry composed of nearly a thousand armored Jurchens and Beiyu, who were extremely violent.

If it weren't for the fact that almost all the cavalry of Liaozhen were wearing armor, and the horses were not good at long-distance pursuit, Kong Youde's vanguard would have been wiped out.

After this battle, Kong Youde knew that the Liaozhen Iron Cavalry was absolutely invincible, damn, not only Jiannu was getting stronger and stronger, but even the Liaozhen Cavalry was also as strong as this, so it can be seen that he was right not to go to Liaozhen to face the enemy Jiannu, otherwise he might have been buried in the ground by now.

Right now, Kong Youde is desperate. In Huangxian County, the infantry and cavalry were united, and the Hongyi artillery formed a solid front defense. It's a matter of success or failure. He believed that there was no need to defeat the Ming army, as long as he couldn't hold on to the Ming army, the first person who couldn't stand it was the Ming court.

Liaodong Jiannu was fierce, the uprising of the exiles in Shanxi was everywhere, and even Henan was invaded by the exiles.

As long as this battle is undefeated and won, it will be certain to be appeased at that time. It's just that the conditions are not discussed.

If you are undefeated, you will win, there is something in your heart, the snoring of a group of rough men next to you is earth-shattering, Kong Youde got up and slipped around, and some of the guards have already gotten up to make a fire for breakfast.

On the march, breakfast must be eaten, because no one knows when the next meal will be eaten on that day.

Smoke rose from other places, and many soldiers got up to make food.

Kong Youde touched his left knee, which was full of soreness and numbness, all of which were the sequelae left by his years of riding horses. Especially in the Dongjiang and Liaodong periods, the march in winter was a chore.

A strong north wind can blow people around. The cold soaked into the bones, and it was like this all year round, and the soldiers there had a problem with cold legs.

Liaodong is his hometown, his parents and relatives are buried there, do you have to go back, Kong Youde's heart moved, if Huangxian fails in the end, then going back to Liaodong to Dajin is the last way, alas, humiliation, my father and mother died in the hands of Jiannu, but at this time, the Ming Dynasty has no place for him to stand up.

Kong Youde looked at the rising sun and was speechless for a long time.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him, and several guards surrounded him.

"My lord, Lord Chen Youde's guards have urgent matters to see."

Kong Youde raised his hand to let him in, and it was estimated that Chen Youde and Wang Zideng had unevenly divided the spoils, they were all short-sighted people several times, for some yellow and white things, alas, if their lives were gone, what was the use of those things.

From a distance, a few dusty clay figures stumbled over, their leather armor was crooked, and they knelt down in front of Kong Youde.

"Marshal Bingdu, the big thing is not good, the Huangxian camp was broken by the Ming army, General Chen ordered me to wait until this Ming generalissimo, and hope that the generalissimo will immediately return to the army to rescue."

"Say it again." Kong Youde's chest hurt, and he said in a trembling voice.

A few people talked about the sudden attack of the Ming army on the camp, but in fact, what they said was messy, because when they were sent out by Chen Youde, even Chen Youde didn't figure out the specific situation.

But Kong Youde understood, a large number of armored cavalry raided the camp early in the morning, and as a general, he didn't need to think about it to know that the camp was over.

Zhao Lie, you are a capricious person. Kong Youde bit his lip and bled out blood, all of them were armored cavalry, and it was none other than Zhao Lie.

Kong Youde was angry that he offered gold and silver, and turned a blind eye to Zhao Lie's behavior of collecting refugees, just to appease Zhao Lie, after all, no one knew about the Ming court's jealousy of the Zhao family, and Zhao Lie was also honest.

Before the decisive battle of Shahe, he ordered people to stare in the direction of Shidao, just because he was afraid that Zhao Lie would rebel.

But more than 30,000 troops from the imperial court came to help, and even Liaozhen, which had the strongest combat power, also sent troops, but Zhao Lie still did not move, and this time he was completely relieved.

The Zhao family is just to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but I didn't expect that before the decisive battle in Huangxian, this beast came to such a hand, this is a fatal blow, why does his mother's Zhao Lie always have trouble with him Kong Youde, don't you know that the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, so you are not afraid of the rebels counterattack, so that Zhao Lie will also be wiped out.

The grief and indignation in Kong Youde's heart needless to mention, the good situation of the 100,000 rebels is gone.

"Brother Kong, this, is this true?" Hearing the bad news, Mao Chenglu also came closer. The trembling voice showed that he was also frightened.

The back road is gone, and the good thing of talking about appeasement after the battle with the imperial court is gone, even if Dengzhou is lost, it is difficult to say, they are now like lost dogs, no wonder Mao Chenglu was surprised.

"Eat." Kong Youde has calmed down, and he has to eat a full meal about big things.

During the meal, the silence in the camp was terrible, and everyone knew that the Huangxian camp had been attacked, and they were eating breakfast with their hearts.

After breakfast, more than a dozen rebels found them and confirmed that the camp had been attacked and that Wang Zideng and Chen Youde had been killed.

This was the rebels' greatest loss after Chen was killed in the Battle of Pingdu a few months earlier.

Kong Youde gathered all the more than 7,000 rebels.

"Brothers, we are waiting for the 30,000 troops of the imperial court in front of us, and Zhao Lie's thousands of soldiers in the back. In other words, we are in a desperate situation. Kong Youde looked at the dead soldiers around him.

"Now I'm waiting for a way. Defeat Zhao Lie and return to Dengzhou. According to the city, as long as the city is defended for a few months, the imperial court will not be able to capture it, and it will definitely appease us and others. ”

The officers and soldiers below immediately talked about it, and this was a life-and-death moment.

"Don't think about surrendering, think about how much we have killed more than 100,000 people, and several governors of the imperial court have died at our hands, if we surrender now. Immediately, the officers and soldiers will be able to ask for your waiting head. "Kong Youde's half-truths and half-false intimidation.

In fact, most of what he said is true, most of the rebels captured by the official army now do not ask, cut off their heads to receive rewards, and now the imperial court has issued a reward for the heads of the rebels.

"I'm willing to die for the handsome." Kong Youde's cronies led everyone to shout, and now they are also in a desperate situation and have to follow Kong Youde.

"Okay, Ben Shuai guarantees that you will have a good future, and the brothers will go back with me and go to Dengzhou." Kong Youde shouted.

"Kill to Dengzhou." The rebels raised their arms and shouted, and the momentum was also full.

An hour later. All the rebels mounted and left Xin Zhuangzi, leaving the village with flames rising. Desperate orcs destroy everything they see.

On the way east, they met more than a hundred rebels one after another, all of whom had the same rhetoric, and these rebels were all horse-mounted cavalry, otherwise they would not have been able to escape.

Although Kong Youde was full of anger, he did not give the order to gallop, at this time it is most important to keep horsepower, otherwise the war will not be able to fight, and it will be great if you can't escape.

Starting from Xin Zhuangzi, nearly 8,000 rebel cavalry slowly marched eastward, leaving fire and blood along the way.

At the end of the second day, the rebels had just been gone for more than an hour, and the scouts came to report that they had met with the large group of Zhao Lie's troops at night, and the battle was fierce.

Kong Youde's face was calm and he let all the soldiers rest in a valley, which was a depression, which was suitable for the battle of the army.

He had nearly 8,000 cavalry, and Zhao Lie's department definitely didn't have so many cavalry, so the decisive battle place must be able to open the army.

All the rebels dismounted and loosened the belly belt of the war horses, fed them black beans and even cakes, and at this time it was the first thing to let the war horses recover their strength, and they also took the opportunity to rest.

Kong Youde and Mao Chenglu came to a small post and looked eastward, only to see a few miles away, the dust was big, the dust was raised dozens of zhang high, and it was a large force of cavalry marching.

It was only when the enemy army was four or five miles away that it suddenly stopped and did not continue to advance.

Kong Youde smiled bitterly, this Zhao Lie is not stupid, and he also knows how to let his cavalry rest and recover his strength.

Kong Youde ordered the hundreds of rebels with three-eyed guns to be transferred to the front, but he knew that Zhao Lie's cavalry was very powerful, but fortunately, the range of the three-eyed guns was not much shorter, and it was just right to resist.

Of course Zhao Lie is not stupid, he doesn't have to recover his horsepower before the decisive battle, but changing horses is a must.

He ordered all the cavalry to switch to the Shidao horses and charge short-distance into battle, and the Shidao horses were much stronger than the Mongolian horses.

Zhao Lie moved forward this time, and Han Jian and others were also dissuaded, so it was better to defend in Huangxian County to block the enemy.

Zhao Lie took into account that the cavalry must see blood, the cavalry of the Broken Army did not have the experience of a large-scale decisive battle with Jiannu, and it was a lack of experience, and Kong Youde's nearly 10,000 cavalry who were now blown up were the best sparring partners.

As for defeat, if even Kong Youde's cavalry team can't win in a fight, then what's the use.

Zhao Lie was convinced that now the cavalry under his command would be incomparably sharp when they saw blood.

The two sides rested for more than half an hour, Kong Youde began to let the soldiers get on the horse and form a whole team, success or failure in one fell swoop, success, return to Dengzhou to fight again, defeat, I am afraid that I will be buried in a foreign land.

Nearly 10,000 horses spent a meal to complete the whole team, in front of them were soldiers with three-eyed guns, behind were soldiers with heavy weapons such as spears, sticks, and sabers, and finally there were cavalry teams with sabers and short blades. (To be continued.) )
