The first wind and rain drifted away

Shen Yuanwai was arrested for the crime of gangsterry, and the final result was that the person came out, and the salary of Butcher Hong was also gathered, and everyone was happy.

After dividing the stolen money, the three top figures of the Ming Empire also went to the battlefield according to the previous military arrangements.

On November 5, the eighth year of Chongzhen, the 100,000 troops of Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, after plundering some small counties and towns, turned to the southeast, along the north bank of the Gaodu Chuan River, and killed Bensong County all the way.

The sky was dark, the sky was cloudy, and the wind roared.

The boundless northern wilderness, wrapped in countless sand and dust, blows on people's faces, like a small knife cutting pain.

Dressed in a luxurious mountain armor lined with thick warm velvet, King Gao Chuang rode on a tall horse, although he had tried his best to wrap his clothes tightly, he was still nervous.

In order to prevent the sand and dust from blowing into his eyes and mouth, he squinted slightly and tightened his mouth, looking a bitter picture.

It's just that in his heart, he is inexplicably happy and happy.

His career ushered in the highest peak, and he became the leader of the martial arts alliance, and everything was pleasing to the eye.

Especially after all localities responded to the call of the alliance leader to merge, more than 200,000 troops entered Henan in a big way, which can be described as invincible and invincible.

Everywhere they passed, the Ming army was invincible, and it was crushed when it was touched.

Thinking of this, King Gao Chuang's face was radiant and quite complacent.

He snorted coldly in his heart, and said secretly: This land of Henan is just a place for his own transit, and when he reaches the more prosperous Nanzhili, he will be able to kill and plunder wildly with impunity.

Thinking of Nanzhili, there will be countless goods, grain, livestock, and women waiting for him, and King Gaochuang swelled.

The mood is so agitated that I just want to hurry through Ruzhou Mansion, then Kaifeng Mansion, pass through this dilapidated Henan, and enjoy it in the flower world of Nanzhili.

"King Chuang, in front of you is Song County."

Li Zicheng next to him, his nephew, also had a high-spirited face, pointed to the gray and black blurred city shadow in front of him, and said loudly.

King Gao Chuang snorted, his eyes slightly open, and his eyes were full of greed.

"Pass on the king's military order, send people to go forward to investigate, to explore the truth and truth.

Tell them that if they can surrender, our army should be dealt with leniently, and if they dare to resist the righteous army, they will slaughter the entire city of soldiers and civilians, and there will be no chickens and dogs! ”

A sinister smile appeared on King Gao Chuang's face.

As soon as he finished speaking, several rogue generals beside him burst out laughing.

They knew that King Chuang's words were just to trick the defenders into opening the door and surrendering.

Since entering Henan, no matter whether those counties and towns surrendered or conquered, they were all raised with butcher knives, killing blood all over the city, and people's heads were rolling.

After all, if you want to feed this large number of rogues, without slaughtering or looting, where will you get the goods, grain and grass?

You know, the consumption of 100,000 troops in a day is a staggering number.

When the most honest people have taken up the hilt of their swords and killed people, their tyranny will be uncontrollable and will become like beasts.

"Order!" More than a dozen cavalrymen from the old battalion rode away.

When they came to the river, they were delighted to find that the Ming army had not even dismantled the pontoon bridge.

They thought proudly that it was estimated that those Ming dogs had been frightened by their own army, so they fled into Songshan County in such a hurry, so that even the pontoon bridge was not dismantled.

The horses galloped across the pontoon bridge, deliberately screaming and circling the city, one to watch the enemy's situation be virtual and real, and the other to intimidate the Ming army defending the city.

"Listen to the bright dogs in the city, the tall king of my family is merciful and does not want to kill.

As long as you open the city gate and welcome our righteous army in, the king said that you can stay and wait for your life, and you can keep the people of the city safe. ”

The rogue cavalry shouted loudly from a stone's throw from the city gates, and laughed loudly as they winked at the city.

A dignified figure appeared on the city gate tower.

This person is Chen Biqian, the governor of Henan, and his face, which was flushed with anger, was full of indignation.

"Phew! You despicable and shameless thieves who have killed the people! Who did you deceive by saying this? ”

Chen Biqian pointed to one of the leading cavalrymen and scolded: "That Lingbao and Ruxiang are coming down from the wind, haven't you also slaughtered all these two cities?"

Now he still makes such a despicable trick, trying to earn me Song County, phew! Trick the devil to go.

Wait until you go back and tell that bastard surnamed Gao that he wants to take Song County, but he can send troops to attack, and my Song County soldiers and civilians, even if they fight until there is only one soldier left, they will not surrender! ”

After Chen Biqian finished scolding, several generals next to him aimed at the rogue cavalry in the distance, and swished several arrows in succession, frightening those rogue cavalry to pull out their horses and leave.

Looking at the rogue cavalry who were leaving in embarrassment, Chen Biqian sighed.

Although Fang Cai's words were scolded, he was holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, looking at the boundless army of rogues on the other side from afar, but he was very worried and uneasy.

Even if there are only 20,000 or 30,000 of these 100,000 people who can fight, everyone will be afraid of the density of the numbers.

This is called a phobia of intensity.

After the cavalry returned, they immediately hurriedly reported Chen Biqian's reply to King Gao Chuang.

"Okay, you will bring about your own destruction, but don't blame me for being ruthless." King Gao Chuang's face was tense, and he gritted his teeth and shouted:

"The whole army crossed the bridge and immediately attacked Song County. After capturing the county seat, he did not seal the knife for three days, killed all the people in the city, and all the women with goods and goods were taken by himself! ”

After the order was passed down, more than 100,000 rogues burst out with earth-shattering cheers and rushed to the pontoon bridge in the distance.

What King Gao Chuang didn't expect was that the whole army had just moved, but he heard a faint and frequent sound of horses' hooves coming from the north.

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder, and in the distance on the northern horizon, a large group of cavalry poured out like a black line.

"Can you see who is coming?" King Gao Chuang asked in a low voice to Li Zicheng on the side.

Li Zicheng was also puzzled, and he hurriedly sent more than a dozen cavalry to meet him to see what was going on.

Just a moment later, they immediately pulled their horses back.

They were accompanied by arrows whizzing from behind.

"King Chuang, it's the cavalry of Ming Gouzi who is here!" The cavalry, who returned in panic, gasped and reported to King Gaochuang.

A shocked expression suddenly appeared on King Gao Chuang's face.

Isn't it, which Ming army is so blind, and dares to take the initiative to attack its own 100,000 soldiers?

"King Gao Chuang, the number of people who come from Ming Gouzi is not large, according to me, there are only about a thousand horses."

Li Zicheng, who was on the side, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the Ming army coming from a distance, and said loudly to Gao Yingxiang.

"Oh?"

King Gao Chuang was even more suspicious in his heart, this force of more than 1,000 cavalry troops who dared to attack him, could it be that they lost their minds and went crazy, or did they eat the gall of a leopard?

Don't? A shadow crossed his mind.

There are so many Ming generals who have lost their minds or eaten leopard gall, He Madman, Zu Dasha, and Zuo Liangyu are all among them.

But the most frightening thing is General Cao.

However, I have already entered Beijing.

So, who will it be?

Just as he was thinking, those Ming cavalry, about seventy or eighty paces away from him, stopped their horses' hooves, and then began to throw arrows one after another.

However, in the case of such a long distance projectile, he could only shoot sparsely and sparsely hit the rogues and their families who had no time to dodge, causing a certain number of minor injuries.

It should be said that the losses caused by the more than 1,000 cavalry of the Ming army to the rogues of more than 100,000 people are very small.

But this made King Gao Chuang, who had been in a state of mind recently, quite annoyed and angry.

"Damn! Destroy this Ming army first. The High Alliance Lord gave this order almost without thinking.
