Three more 10,000 words to ask for votes, thank you!

Zuo Liangyu was really a little panicked, if there was only one soldier and horse from Gao Yingxiang, although he was more embarrassed, but he was confident that it would not be a problem to withdraw safely, but his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were not vegetarians, although the number of rogues was large, but the combat effectiveness may not be really strong, but if you add Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses all the way, and it was still at this critical juncture to be attacked by people before and after, the consequences are really a bit unimaginable, fortunately, at this time, most of them are still there, Zuo Liangyu did not hesitate to ask people to break off, and he first led more than 3,000 core elites to withdraw from Lu, The rest retreated step by step, and how much they could get out of the last was up to luck, anyway, as long as those elites were still there, the team would be able to pull up again.

The main general chose to retreat first, instead of fighting with the soldiers to the most rear, which was naturally a great blow to the morale of the army, fortunately, Zuo Liangyu's troops have also adapted to this situation, which time they really can't be defeated, the general has always taken the elite to go first, leaving them to stand out by themselves, so they are all prepared, the officers hurriedly led their respective teams to break through, but this time they really underestimated the determination of the peasant army, and they planned to kill most of them here, Therefore, the surrounding area was arranged like an iron bucket, and they fought for almost two hours in a row, only more than 4,000 people escaped, and the rest were all killed near the canyon, and the losses were extremely heavy.

After the fierce battle, the peasant army of the division shouted, this is the most beautiful battle they have fought since the uprising, annihilating more than 5,000 officers and soldiers, Zuo Liangyu's troops were knocked out nearly half, it is already considered to be wounded, and there is no ability to deal with them in a short time, and the surrounding Ming army is also far away from them, now is the time for them to stride forward, Gao Yingxiang immediately gathered the leaders together, and soon formulated a plan to send troops to Huaiqing, Zhangde, and directly take Wei Hui.

Li Zicheng was meritorious because of luring the enemy. Finally proudly showed a small face in the inner circle, and Cheng Hao was also accepted by Gao Yingxiang as his deputy, which was regarded as a solid step for his ideal road, the peasant army took a short rest for a day, and immediately marched in the direction of Huaiqing, the local area was not prepared at all, and thought that the Liukou Brigade was entangled with Zuo Liangyu's department in Beizhili, and when it was attacked, there was no resistance at all in the whole house, and even the various equipment to defend the city was not prepared, and it was soon attacked.

Zuo Liangyu Wu'an County was defeated. The news of Liukou's attack on Huaiqing quickly spread everywhere around, Xuzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of Song Qing, was next to Henan, of course, he got the news for the first time, in fact, he had been waiting for the news, according to his own memory, this year, about this time, the peasant army will have a very important action, which is the last big victory before the Chezhou Gorge. Moreover, it successfully threatened Henan, Beizhili and Shanxi, and some even came in the direction of Fengyang and Xuzhou.

Of course, he couldn't miss this kind of opportunity, seeing that Houjin was about to enter the army for the second time, and the soldiers and horses he had recruited in the past two years had not yet had a place to really train. Now that I have caught up with the Liukou and entered Henan, of course, we must pay attention to it, be ready to receive the order at any time, and then take my team to Henan and even Beizhili to participate in the encirclement and suppression battle.

In the history of the world in the previous life. The Xuzhou side does not know whether Lu Dao also participated in the encirclement and suppression, but the possibility is certainly not too great, because there were no strong troops in Xuzhou at that time. It's not enough to add chaos to the team of the guard, at most, the generals who are guarding Xuzhou may go, but it doesn't seem to have seen any records, because even if they go, they will definitely not be the main force, after all, the main force of the Liukou is not in Xuzhou, even if they go out, they are still a guest army, and they are still very weak guest troops, and they will not take on any big responsibilities.

But this life is different, Xuzhou is now strong and strong, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most powerful force in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, this is still calculated by adding quantity, if it is not counted as quantity only quality, it is definitely the top three teams in the Ming Dynasty, the reason why I say this is because there are many recruits who have not fought in the war to join, dragging the hind legs of those elite veterans, if they are all calculated according to the veterans, Song Qing dares to say that his soldiers and horses are the first in the Ming Dynasty, and even compared to the Zhenyi troops of Houjin, they are not a few points worse.

Such a team stationed in Xuzhou, away from the place where the Liukou was raging is almost a few days away, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to it, so after getting the news that Zuo Liangyu was defeated and the surrounding Ming army temporarily did not have time to suppress the Liukou, he immediately asked people to gather all the teams, and at the same time selected elite soldiers and strong generals, ready to go to Henan to fight with the Liukou, his troops were training almost all day long, and the execution ability was very strong, but half a day had been assembled, just waiting for the order to pull.

At noon the next day, Song Qing was having dinner in the barracks, Luo Xiaobei ran over with a young officer, and said excitedly as soon as he entered the tent: "General, the order has come down, this is the messenger of Lord Lu, the governor of Yunyang, who came with the order of the military department, let us go directly to Henan to block those rogues!" ”

"Lord Lu, the governor of Yunyang? Lord Lu Xiangsheng? Song Qing was somewhat surprised, he thought that he would not be able to meet this civil official with high martial arts until after the New Year, when the Houjin soldiers entered the army for the second time, but who knew that Lu Dao had already been in contact with the two sides now, and when he saw the young officer's eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he had a little more good feelings in his heart, and asked: "Where are you Lord Lu now?" What happened to General Zuo Liangyu's side? There is also the battle situation in the direction of Henan and Beizhili, you know how much Lu Dao will tell me first! ”

"Yes!" The officer was obviously very good at words, and said directly: "Lord Lu is still in Beizhili now, and he is chasing the Liukou over from Shaanxi, but there is something wrong with the grain and grass, and he can only stop in Beizhili at present, and most of the rest of the imperial court soldiers and horses are also in Beizhili, waiting for the supply of grain and grass from the military department, in addition to the local soldiers and horses near Henan, there are only the defeated troops of General Zuo Liangyu, and there are probably more than 7,000 people left, and it is not a problem to support his own territory, but he can't fight with the Liukou in a short time, so Lord Lu suggested to the imperial court, The general's Xuzhou soldiers entered Henan, and first blocked the momentum of the Liukou southward, and then the army encircled and completely annihilated these Liukou! ”

Song Qing nodded and continued to ask, "How many people are there now?" ”

"That's not good." The officer frowned, obviously a little embarrassed, and sighed: "The general doesn't know, these rogues are expanding their forces very quickly, often they only have a few thousand people left in the previous battle, and within a few days they have become tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of horses, and now most of the rogues are at the junction of Henan and Beizhili, attacking villages everywhere, and the speed of pulling the team is only faster than before, and no one in the imperial court can stop them, I am afraid that when the general arrives, there should be more than 100,000 horses." ”

"So much?" Song Qing didn't speak, but Luo Xiaobei was a little surprised, as Song Qing's henchman, he knew where the Dao general's mind was recently, he thought that after the order came over, the army could pull out Lu to practice, but he didn't expect to face more than 100,000 horses, and the other teams in the court basically couldn't count on it, Lu Xiangsheng was afraid that it would take two months to come, which means that they would have to use less than 10,000 horses to fight against hundreds of thousands of rogues in the recent period, which is simply a bit difficult.

The young officer explained with a smile: "Luo Baihu don't worry, the reason why those rogues pull the team fast is because they have practiced at all, most of the hundreds of thousands of rogues are ordinary people and thieves, and the only ones who can really fight are those thousands of old thieves, as long as they can withstand their first few rounds, the rogues themselves will be bored!" ”

"That's right, the main thing is the thousands of old thieves, that is, the old brothers who the rogues themselves say, and the rest are used to fill people's lives, ordinary officers and soldiers may not be easy to deal with, but we don't have to be afraid, a fire cannon hits over, how many people can't attack!" Song Qing confidently echoed the young officer's words, and at the same time took the order, and said to him: "You go back and tell Lord Lu that Song will send troops in the next two days, and you will also have to inform the local government in Henan, as well as General Zuo Liangyu, that the Xuzhou soldiers were guest troops in the past after all, and they only obey my command, and we are only responsible for not letting the Liukou go south, and if there is anything else, we will send someone over to coordinate when the time comes!" ”

"Xia Guan understands!" Although Lu Xiangsheng is the governor, but a world-famous general like Song Qing must also be treated politely, not to mention generals like Zuo Liangyu, let alone generals like Zuo Liangyu, let alone be able to command the Xuzhou soldiers to fight, at this point, he will naturally greet all the departments at that time, otherwise if there is a conflict because of this, I am afraid that he will kill his head after the worst.

After lunch, the young officer rode away on a fast horse, and Song Qing began to arrange the most important things before the expedition, such as who went out to fight and who stayed behind, etc., because now he is deeply rooted in Xuzhou, even if Ma Hui looks at him very unpleasantly, but he does not dare to provoke him, plus Song Hu and Wang Chang are watching here, and they are not worried about any accidents, so there can be more generals on this expedition, just leave the stable Zhou Ling to watch the house, Ding Kui and Xue Wu can take it with him, and the rest of the middle and lower-level officers are even more so, After all, at this time next year, I am afraid that I will have to prepare to fight with Houjin, who entered the army for the second time, and it will definitely be beneficial to bring more people out of Lu to see the world.

Then there is Pizhou Wei, Hu Jie has also pulled more than 4,000 horses, and he has been practicing with this, and now the effect is not bad, this time he can also take two or three thousand people out of the city to fight a dozen, which can be regarded as an experience for the upcoming war, so that most of the people in the entire system under his command will exercise, so as not to show timidity at this time next year.

For the rest, I can only watch it while playing. (To be continued......)
