Chapter 465: This Road Doesn't Work

(Note: There is an error in the previous text.) Liu Guoneng, one of the 13 early rebel leaders, was born in chaos due to land entanglements with the clan, and his mother persuaded him to surrender. ）

In the dry field, the soil cracked, the cicadas chirped fiercely, and in the sound of horses' hooves, turning the foot of a mountain, Hao Shaoqi saw the opponent in front of him. The khaki coat, dressed in black chain mail, lined up in a square line. It doesn't look like it's comparable to the green skins in Dengzhou Camp, but it's a little bit like that. Of course, this is what Hao Shaoqi thinks is a bit of a look, and if Gu Yunheng comes to the people, it will take at least three months for these people to be considered a little present. From a distance, you can see the banner of the word "Liu", which is the same stream in the past.

On horseback, Liu Guoneng was still a little nervous, and it was the first time to fight according to the teachings of the Dengzhou battalion.

According to Gu Yunheng's meaning, the army occupied two small hills on the side of the official road, and there were many similar hills in this hilly area. Out of concern about the combat effectiveness of Liu Guoneng's subordinates, Gu Yun just held it and didn't let the thieves pass, even if it was successful.

Instructors at all levels have gone to the front line, directing the men and horses below to set up positions and build obstacles. An officer from Dengzhou must take the lead in everything, so he is very popular with soldiers. The horses were simply set up, and the sappers thrust the sharpened wooden sticks diagonally forward. The artillery cleared the ground from the bushes, and the sappers set up positions. Some of the infantry stood in a defensive position, which looked a bit chaotic, but it was slowly taking shape.

Hao Shaoqi didn't dare to approach, he could only watch from a distance, this was the only way to Zhong Xiang, and the previous scouts had a battle. Didn't take advantage. Liu Guoneng of the dog day, with a sharp musket, knocked over many brothers.

After observing for half an hour, Hao Shaoqi turned around and went back, and Liu Zhongmin stepped forward and asked, "Who is here, and how many people are there?" What guys are there? Hao Shaoqi smiled bitterly: "It's an old man, break into the sky!" Dogs are replaced with new yellow dog skins, a water of birds, and cannons, which will block the official road ahead, occupying two hillsides. ”

Liu Zhongmin looked incredible. Bird guns produced in Dengzhou. Everybody knows well. But this thing is not something you can buy if you have money. In the past, Tian Jianxiu got through Changcheng's relationship and bought a lot of cold weapons such as chain mail, which is already a great credit. Lean on these guys. It is much easier to deal with officers and soldiers. I didn't expect this Liu Guoneng. He was actually replaced with a firearm.

"What should I do?" Liu Zhongmin said to himself, Hao Shaoqi has no good way, he wants to go to Zhongxiang. It's the way to go. If you go around, where can you go? "There are not many people who break into the sky, this time you have to walk around, what about the next time you meet other officers and soldiers? And don't forget about jì, we've been discovered. In the hands of the collapsed sky, there is no shortage of livestock, and it is difficult to get rid of him. On the contrary, we lost a lot of horses in Mengjiazhuang. At present, except for the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, which has one person and two horses, most people have to walk on two legs. ”

Liu Zhongmin was silent, he was Li Zicheng's diehard. used to be a sentry officer of an eighth battalion of the border army, and his position was still above Li Zicheng. It's a pity that when she followed Gao Yingxiang, her daughter fell in love with Li Zicheng. But speaking of which, when it comes to personal charm, Liu Zhongmin is a killer. This time, Li Zicheng felt bad and took the initiative to attack. The division of troops into four roads, the third road is under the guise of doing things, only Li Zicheng is really breaking through the encirclement, wanting to enter Henan, looking for development opportunities, and if not, he will return to Shaanxi.

Liukou, Liukou, means that there is no fixed base area, and they are mobile and fighting. Li Zicheng usually marched, and he even carried very little baggage, and he ate wherever he went, and the soldiers often didn't even have salt to eat.

"Retreat a little further first, send someone to talk, and see if you can buy a way to go." Liu Zhongmin returned to the old way, if it was the Dengzhou camp, he didn't have this idea, and Liu Guoneng would be different. Hao Shaoqi nodded and said, "Then that's it, let's see." If not, it's too late to fight again tomorrow morning. ”

"Withdrawn?" Liu Guoneng was somewhat surprised and asked if he didn't accept the night, and replied in the affirmative: "That's right, it's more than ten miles back." ”

"Mr. Gu, what do you say is going on? The banner is Liu Zhongmin's, and it is said that the thief should also be behind. Is this the posture of waiting for the army to come up and fight a decisive battle? We have to contact the Dengzhou camp as soon as possible. Liu Guoneng was a little flustered, after all, he was only more than 6,000 people, and Li Zicheng on the opposite side couldn't figure out 180,000 people from Wuyang and Wuyang.

"The messenger has gone out, and our task is to block the road to Zhongxiang and prevent the thieves from crossing the Han River. We shouldn't worry about anything else. Since the thieves have retreated, then be on guard and hurry up to set up the old camp. Fighting in a daze is beneficial to our troops, which are purely firearms. Gu Yunheng said something, and Liu Guoneng strengthened his determination. He didn't dare to run away in this battle, whether he was under Yang Sichang or Ding Qirui before, he should run and run, and it was the best policy to preserve his strength. It's different now, Zuo Liangyu, who was chasing Zhang Xianzhong's pain, was more than 20,000 elites, and they were killed by Chen Gebu, and the deterrent power of this matter was too strong. Liu Guoneng doesn't think that Chen Xie will not let himself go because of his good attitude.

"Then hurry up, life and death are here." Liu Guoneng gritted his teeth and nodded.

The shrubs on the slopes of the hill were cleared, wells were dug at the foot of the hill for water, and fences were erected around the hill to prepare for night raids. The gate of Zhongxiang County behind him was closed, and after the people sent to contact him, the city gate was opened, and after sending some wine and meat, the representatives of the gentry ran back and continued to close the door. Officers and soldiers are like wolves and tigers, and they are more vicious than rogue soldiers. It's better to provoke a little less, and the governments around the country are probably thinking about this.

Just before dusk, two horsemen came down from the camp and shouted, and soon the two men were brought in. After entering the tent, the people who came knelt down to meet them. Liu Guoneng saw that this person was one of his former subordinates, and he had a mixed name called Guoshan Tiger. At the beginning, he surrendered to the officers and soldiers, and the mountain tiger ran away with more than a thousand subordinates, and Liu Guoneng didn't embarrass him, but he didn't expect to meet again.

"Leader Liu, my brother came on order, just to buy a road, everyone understands the rules, and the one or two silver that should be given is a lot. Mountains and rivers meet, leave a line in things, and see each other in the future. "The mountain tiger is also simple, and when it comes up, it will directly talk about the theme. Liu Guoneng was a little embarrassed, looked at Gu Yunheng with a calm face and was silent, and muttered: "Brother, it's not that I don't give you this face, and the situation is different now." Chen Gebu sat in Xiangyang and commanded the army to suppress thieves. Zuo Liangyu was cut down by the cabinet lord, do you think I can let you go as before, for the sake of the old feelings? If I let you go, my head will have to move. ”

This was said very directly, and the mountain tiger smiled after hearing it: "Since this is the case, then I haven't been here." Leader Liu, you can't be the master if you don't let me go back, right? Gu Yunheng, who had never spoken, spoke at this time: "Put away your little cleverness, this little trick of the discord plan is not clever at all." I tell you that it's not a big deal to keep you, but I don't bother to do that. The thieves have been besieged on all sides, and their destruction is not far away, and if you are a smart person with a human avatar, you may be able to save a small life. ”

"Don't worry about it, there is a way to survive in the future." The mountain tiger bowed his hand and said goodbye, Gu Yunheng sneered and watched him leave.

Back in the thief camp, Guoshan Tiger saw Liu Zhongmin, and when he talked about the process, Liu Zhongmin and Hao Shaoqi scolded a few words, but they didn't say much. It's normal for the trick to be repeated and failed. I have a lot of dealings with officers and soldiers, and when I don't collect money, it's not nothing.

A group of people continued to deliberate, and it was difficult to reach a consensus on the question of whether to fight or not. In the end, Liu Zhongmin slapped the table and said: "Let's fight, tomorrow with Qingzhuang as the pioneer, and the Xiao cavalry team behind, let's take a look first, and if it doesn't work, go north." ”

If it were other officers and soldiers, Hao Shaoqi would not agree to the plan to fight a prepared camp of officers and soldiers. But this is Liu Guoneng, and he is not a professional military personnel, it seems that there is still a scholar in the army who is supervising, and it may not be necessary that this scholar will command blindly. Besides, let's try it, if you can't beat it, you can run well, everyone is used to this kind of life.

The morning light came out early, and it was very strong when it came out. It was only eight o'clock in the morning, and 30,000 people lined up outside Liu Guoneng's camp. This kind of thing really happened. Gu Yunheng learned that someone was shouting outside the village, and he thought it was all funny. Fighting a war has always been a matter of doing everything, and such an old trick is still being used.

Accompanying Liu Guoneng to come out and take a look, several cavalry shouted outside the fence. Gu Yunheng looked at the distance, asked people to bring his rifle, and after skillfully loading, he took aim and pulled the trigger. With a bang, a cavalryman who was shouting outside fell from his horse. There was a cheer in the village, and the remaining cavalry turned around and ran away in fright, and the corpses of their companions could not be cared for.

Liu Guoneng's subordinates were greatly boosted, and the distance was not close, at least one hundred and fifty paces, and they couldn't hear the shouting at a distance.

Liu Zhongmin and Hao Shaoqi saw it clearly, and knew that they couldn't be cowardly at this time, and their morale was really gone. In these years of war, morale is a very important thing. The rumbling drums sounded, and Hao Shaoqi personally held the battle flag and commanded thousands of light equipment to press forward. Liu Zongmin commanded the elite cavalry and supervised the officers and soldiers on another hillside.

The musketeers are powerful, Hao Shaoqi is very clear. When Zhang Xianzhong was in Gucheng, he was afraid of the musketeers in Yunnan. Hao Shaoqi was also afraid, but at this time, he could only bite the bullet.

Behind the fence, looking at the civilian army pressing up, a cadre of instructors stood on the front line, holding a saber, and shouted: "Those who shoot without orders will be killed!" "On the artillery position, it was also the instructor who was directing, and after loading, waited quietly. The atmosphere at the scene became more and more heavy and solemn.

"Five hundred steps! Four hundred steps! Three hundred steps! Two hundred steps! One hundred steps! "The instructor of the rangefinder, his voice was emotionless, as if he was saying something very normal. Liu Guoneng was very nervous, because the order to shoot was never given. These green-skinned instructors can really calm down. It's been a hundred paces, and no order has been given to shoot.

"Kill!" The people's army, which was progressing smoothly, suddenly let out an earth-shattering cry, and ran forward frantically, and the big flag in Hao Shaoqi's hand waved back and forth more and more rapidly. The people's army, which was at the forefront, entered fifty paces, and the bows and arrows in their hands had already been shot first. (To be continued......)
