Chapter 107: Rush to be king

As the saying goes, the poor don't chase, not to mention that the enemy still has a numerical advantage, and once they get into the dense forest, the cavalry will be wasted. Lu Bing knew that his strength was not enough to pursue, but it was easy for the enemy to make dumplings, and Lu Bing understood this very well.

At the same time as this battle, the rebels outside the north of the camp also launched an attack, this battle was tragic, even though the advanced weapons of the hundred refined elite soldiers were very strong, but the other side was also an elite general. Although the elite soldiers are strong, they naturally do not have much actual combat experience in the soldiers and horses they have trained, and the elite of the rebels are fought hard in the bloody battle, so the two sides are equal when they fight together.

Elite to elite, shot is a killing move, this war is fought very quickly, not as powerful as the south, the sound of killing shocks the sky, whether it is the gong side or the defender side is quietly fighting, the entire battlefield as if nothing happened. Except for the sound of weapons colliding, the explosion of gunpowder igniting, and the men's gruff, all that was left was the sound of weapons piercing into their bodies. There is stillness in movement, there is movement in stillness, and the extraordinarily contradictory contradictions make people feel strangely frightened.

The officers and soldiers of the court with weak combat effectiveness died first, and the war quickly entered a white heat after only a stick of incense. The two tigers fighting each other is nothing more than losing both.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court guarding the north were all wiped out, and 500 of the 100 elite soldiers were also damaged, and 5,000 of the enemy's soldiers and horses were also buried outside the wall. Fifteen thousand enemy troops against one thousand elite soldiers, no matter how brave the elite soldiers are, it is difficult to change the tide of the battle. On the other hand, the cavalry and infantry of the large army that came to support from the south combined were less than 3,000 people, and the strength of the two sides was very different. If they were to be put in and fight according to the previous plan, it would not work, because the troops in front of them were also elite divisions.

Moreover, although the army that had attacked the south earlier behind it was defeated, it would not take long for the stragglers to assemble. It seems that Dazhai can't hold it, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that it will be attacked back and forth, and it will be too late to run when the time comes. So Lu Bing decided to abandon Dazhai to prepare a small amount of supplies, bury explosives, sprinkle fire oil and cover it, and prepare to burn "Xinye", so he ordered the west gate to be opened. He led the crowd from the northwest.

Wang Zhenhu led people to attack the camp, and when he landed, the gunpowder exploded and the oil burned one after another, and the camp became a sea of fire. Burned. Both the rebels and the Ming army suffered heavy casualties in this fierce battle, and although Lu Bing's defeat did not form a counter-encirclement to reinforce the all-key rebels, the rebels were no better. And it was not generals such as Lu Bing and Wang Zhenhu who died. It is the young athletes who die, regardless of whether they are friends or enemies.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a drama that sang like this: Thousands of ghosts cried when the rattan armor was burned. The light of the summit brightens the night sky. It's just that victory or defeat is not clear, so why bother to be vain.

—————————————————————————————————————

Lu Bing led the troops away, looking at the burning Dazhai and feeling melancholy, it seemed that he had to change his way of thinking about dealing with the Gutian rebels. The northwest won a big victory, the southwest was defeated, Annan was pacified, and the coastal thieves rose, and they were all defeated by one companion. What's this called? Soon the reinforcements arrived, and he was relieved to see that the coach was fine. Lu Bing's sub-battalion was stationed in strict formation.

Soon Lu Bingxiang came up with a plan, as soon as Cai Jing, the former general soldier who understood the situation, arrived, this plan could be implemented smoothly.

On the other hand, in the base camp where the Ming army was breached, Wang Zhenhu wiped the black ash on his face, took the bamboo tube from the guards and drank a sip of water, but he was still thirsty after drinking a jar of water. "Lu Bing, you bastard, despicable, you don't have to die well." Wang Zhenhu scolded viciously.

It's no wonder that he hates Lu Bing so much, it is said that not all the enemies who fight on the battlefield, everyone has different purposes for their masters, maybe they can still marry Jin Lan after stopping the fight. But Lu Bing and Wang Zhenhu are different, Lu Bing Wang Zhenhu doesn't know what to do, but Wang Zhenhu was almost burned to death by the fire. Just now, Wang Zhenhu rushed into the camp, wanting to take over the Ming army camp as soon as possible to enjoy the joy of victory, but the camp exploded, and then the sea of fire could not be extinguished.

Wang Zhenhu's hair burned half off, his eyebrows and mustache were all burned, he shook the rattan armor on his body, stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes regained their spirit and became proud. That night, Wang Zhenhu moved the order and ordered Lin Yinhan, Wei Yinbao, and Wei Chaofeng to quickly lead the troops to the king.

This order is equivalent to Wang Zhenhu establishing himself as king. Originally, they just said that it was good to let Wang Zhenhu be the leader of the Anti-Ming General Alliance, but they didn't say that Wang Zhenhu should be the king, so what are the remaining three bandit leaders? Courtiers are still generals, isn't this nonsense!

Wei Yinbao was young and vigorous, and said that he would withdraw the troops that resisted the Ming army and turn back to attack Wang Zhenhu, but Lin Yinhan and Wei Chaofeng stopped him. Wei Chaofeng means not to fall for the enemy's tricks, even if Wang Zhenhu has done something inappropriate, but if it is cannibalism, I am afraid that Lu Bing from the Ming court will benefit from the fisherman.

And Lin Yinhan is more straightforward, he thinks that since he said before that he had captured the thief and captured the king first, and if he caught Lu Bing, he would let Wang Zhenhu be the leader of the anti-Ming alliance, Wang Zhenhu attacked the base camp of the Ming army, and Lu Bing was well-equipped, Wang Zhenhu must have suffered heavy casualties, and he also paid the price for it, and this alliance leader deserved it. The so-called alliance leader and the king mean the same thing, and Wang Zhenhu only called the king and did not stop the other three from claiming the king, so there was no need to make a big move.

After Lin Yinhan and Wei Chaofeng said this, Wei Yinbao finally endured it, and the three of them made an appointment to go to see Wang Zhenhu together, as for the soldiers and horses confronting the Ming army, they naturally could not be withdrawn, but Wang Zhenhu's subordinates designated a lot of losses this time, if they did not bring soldiers and horses to increase the number of troops, they were only afraid of danger. But the number of people should not be too much, to prevent the Ming army from taking advantage of the situation and attacking their own territory, so the three families discussed bringing 1,000 men and horses each to the rescue.

When the three of them came to the outside of the base camp of the Ming army, they were shocked by the scene in front of them, outside the camp was a piece of charcoal, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat and burned grass and trees, except for the sky, everywhere as far as the eye could see was black, the people were black, the walls were black, and the weapons were also black. Looking at the thousands of burned and broken corpses piled up under the wall, Lin Yinhan couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, and a guard officer next to him who came out to greet him said that this was still the scene after cleaning up a batch. Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, but it was conceivable that Wang Zhenhu had indeed fought a vicious battle.

When they walked to the front of the camp, the soldiers and horses brought by the three of them were stationed outside the camp, and the three of them didn't think much about it, but they thought that it was already very chaotic and there was no place to garrison. In fact, it was true that the scene inside the camp was even more terrible than outside, and it was clear at a glance that all kinds of baggage were caused by fire and explosions, and that stumps and broken arms could be seen on the ground at any time, and it was not known whether the road belonged to one's own man or the enemy's.

After walking for about a cup of tea, someone suddenly stopped the three and ordered the three to dismount and meet them. Wei Yinbao was the first to be ignited: "Damn, this battle is not his credit alone, we have also sent troops to contribute, get off the horse and see you, hum!" This has not yet officially ascended the throne, so why will it be set for us, if it gains momentum in the future, then it will be repaid? As the so-called cunning rabbit cooks all the lackeys, what does this guy want to do! ”

Wei Chaofeng also frowned, without saying a word, Lin Yinhan kept reassuring Wei Yinbao to calm down for a while, and the three of them scolded one and persuaded one to walk in front of the big tent without speaking. The halberd outside the big tent ordered the three of them to unload the blade before they could enter the account, and now even Lin Yinhan didn't do it, they were all mixed with rice on the tip of the knife, and the blade could not be left from their bodies, for many years, their trust in the blade even exceeded the trust of the opponent's most loyal soldiers, and it was not to let others slaughter the blade, and I felt quite uneasy.

Wang Zhenhu asked our soldiers to stop outside the camp again, and let the three of them get off their horses and come forward, and let the three of them unload their blades, what is this for, is this a Hongmen banquet? The three of them secretly raised themselves, thinking, could it be that as soon as we entered, Wang Zhenhu ordered the knife and axe hand to click us? It's no wonder that the three of them think so, after many years of uprising, they have seen too many things like this kind of struggle for power, and Wang Zhenhu is so able to put on a score, no one can tell where things will happen.

"They are all their own brothers, and they are afraid that Wang Zhenhu will not be able to eat us after unloading their blades!" Wei Chaofeng spoke suddenly, and took the lead in unloading his blade and entering the tent, Lin Yinhan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and also unloaded his blade and followed in, I don't know if Lu Dao hated Wang Zhenhu or was unwilling to do it. Wei Yinbao was the slowest, and he began to swear and curse in his mouth.

Wang Zhenhu looked at the three people who walked into the big tent, and the expression on his face could be described as a smiling face. Speaking of which, her current appearance is very strange, because her hair is burned and damaged, so she is covered with a turban, and her bare face is all gone, and it is replaced by pieces of scorched black, but no matter how embarrassed her face is, it can't hide the smugness that Wang Zhenhu exudes from all over her body.

Wei Yinbao was originally scolding, but when he came in, he smiled when he saw Wang Zhenhu like this, and said, "Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?" Could it be that you are so anxious that your eyebrows are burned? ”

Wang Zhenhu smiled slightly and said: "Three of you, please take a seat, I have invited you here today not only to save King Qin, but also to discuss the matter of this king's accession to the throne." ”

"Enthronement? How can he ascend the throne, the great cause has not been accomplished, and the enthronement is not worthy of the martyrs who died? Wei Chaofeng said at this time.

Wang Zhenhu said: "No, no, no, we have already discussed, I defeated the Ming army, captured the base camp of the Ming army, and destroyed the enemy's military heart, so I should be the leader of the anti-Ming alliance." If the leader of the Anti-Ming League does not stand as a king and holds high the banner of righteousness, how can he justify his name? How can the name be justified to provoke the world to rebel? If I don't ascend the throne, then what we are doing is a meaningless uprising, a rebellion, not a righteous act to overthrow the tyrannical Ming, so calling Wang Ming orthodox is the priority at the moment.
