Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Bandits, why do you call the rebels?"
Zhu Biao's large army, which was still in the territory of Yan State, received the military report and ancillary information sent back by Chen Mengren. Zhu Biao was furious, these teams in the name of 'Righteous Army' are purely rogues. Nicknames such as King of Liang, King of Dingyang, and Fengli Eye reminded him of King Chuang and the Eight Kings in the late Ming Dynasty in his previous life.
This is a group of waste firewood that has not been successful enough to fail, a group of garbage that has not even been institutionalized, and only knows how to loot and burn, and disturb the people
Even Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who were established in the later period, were stronger than them now, pure rogues. Moreover, the small 200,000 people are almost all men and women, and there is no drag from the old camp children, and the mobility and scourge intensity of this group of people are better than those of the Liukou in the late Ming Dynasty.
"Great. The main three major rebel armies in the territory of Qi State, the most popular is Feng Lei, who calls himself General Fenglei, and his Fenglei Army has only 50,000 or 60,000 people, but the people's hearts are strong and cohesive, and they have thwarted the attacks of the superior forces of the Qi army and the local army several times, and have seized the four counties of Yunzhou in the east of Qi State.
Then there is the Yimeng Mountain Righteous Army in the southeast, with a total strength of no less than the King of Daliang and the King of Dingyang. But it is also uneven, and the fish are mixed. There are heroes who do the right thing for heaven, and there are villains who do no evil. And entrenched in the Yimeng Mountains for 500 miles for a long time, it is not easy for the Qi army and the local army to enter and suppress.
The last one is the King of Liang, the King of Dingyang, and the eye of the wind. The three of them are sworn brothers, all of them are raccoon dogs, from the southwest of Qi to the northernmost part of Qi country, at the peak of the heyday once attacked Zibo City, after the defeat turned north, this is now turned to the west, into Cizhou. The state soldiers couldn't resist, so they let them kill until they reached the land of Nanle Border County. ”
Cizhou's assassination history is a semi-divided figure, that is, after Tian Sheng's death, Tian Sheng's eldest son Tian Dan, who inherited the throne of Qi, the royal power fell, and the royal family was subject to several forbidden army generals, and the local powerful faction outside was naturally unstable.
When the three civil strife broke out in the Qi State, the assassins and taishou who had soldiers, money, food and territory had almost no constraints. Although some of them continue to be loyal to Zibo, and are united with the forbidden army after the reconstruction of Tian Sheng's main force, and some are united or joined by other royal princes, there are still a few states in the sixteen states of Qi that are restless or too guarded in the state.
Cizhou Thorn History, like Nanle Taishou, has also changed three stubbles after the chaos. The strength in the state has been greatly reduced, and there is too much restlessness, so although this assassin has the heart to 'self-improvement', he is powerless to do it, so he can only be a person who listens to propaganda and keeps tuning.
Of the twelve counties in Cizhou, the Thorn Shi completely controlled the five counties. Contain and control the two counties, with more than 50,000 troops. Naturally, he is not the opponent of the 200,000 troops such as the King of Liang, and it is impossible for him to fight to the death with the forces of the King of Liang and his gang. When the army is finished, it is not certain whether the position of the assassin can still be seated.
"If it weren't for the snow, I would immediately lead my troops eastward"
Zhu Biao, the king of Qi, has not yet made up his final decision. Because this may be a bait dropped by King Tang, it may also be a temptation of King Tang.
But for the likes of King Liang and others, there is no need for a reason to eliminate them.
"Don't worry. General Chen has been on the battlefield for a long time and wiped out the three bandits. Zhang Bennan said.
Zhu Biao exhaled. Redo the lower body. "Sir's right. General Chen... While...... Live up to the expectations of the commander. ”
Chen Mengren's intelligence is indeed lacking, which is higher than his current position. But after a long time on the battlefield, there are many ruthless, hard, and bloody battles, and they only go straight to the ground. If you don't look for tricks and crush people with your strength, you can also wipe out the tens of thousands of horses and horses left by King Liang and other three Kou, and crush them into powder.
……
Nanle.
"Enemy is coming! Enemies are coming! ”
A group of bandits resting at the bottom of the hillside. Suddenly, the police on the hillside shouted loudly.
Nearly 5,000 bandits jumped up and lined up in a chaotic queue under the shouts of the thieves. The sound of scolding and scolding is endless.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" The sound of horses' hooves like thunder came from far and near. On that hillside. Behind the squad of police posts running back desperately, a platoon of cavalry suddenly appeared! Take a closer look, not to mention a row, front and back, endlessly, it is simply like a tide!
The bandits, who couldn't run, heard the sound of hooves behind them and shook the ground, and they were terrified! There was even a panicked one who ran so weakly that he fell to the ground. Without waiting to get up, a spear came out of his chest! There were also cries and cries in a panic, and the six gods and masters threw themselves on the ground, clutching their heads tightly, and were immediately trampled into pulp by the swarming cavalry!
In this situation, I don't want to think about how the other party can stop the army and contain the prisoners because of the three of them.
The leader of the thieves will see this tragic situation in front of the battle, and a pair of eyes will be bloody! Thousands of iron horsemen, with the impact of a landslide and a crack, how spectacular. It's terrifying! He felt his hands and feet go limp. He also had a lot of fighting experience, and he knew that the team could not be dispersed, once the infantry formation was scattered, what was waiting for them was a merciless slaughter!
Two armies meet! The Hedong cavalry that came with the momentum of thunder, with the strength of ten thousand jun, violently slammed into the scattered phalanx of the bandit army! The phalanx immediately recessed backwards! Splash snow with boiling water, cut down rotten wood with sharp axes!
"Kill"
"Kill"
"Kill"
The miserable scenes of the villages and towns that had been ruined along the way, and the indignant elite soldiers of Hedong who were inspired by it, were all killed one by one. The 5,000 bandit troops who were directly killed flew flesh and blood, and they could not be defeated.
But they can't run on two legs and can't outrun the four legs of the Hedong cavalry.
"Spare your life! Grandpa Han Jun spares his life, and we will surrender! surrendered ......" A group of bandits who were trapped and couldn't escape, the thieves saw the minions next to them go to see the king of Hades one by one, and their fighting spirit was completely lost. Can't help but shout! When he shouted, his subordinates were in an uproar, shouting and surrendering in a mess.
Wang Guang's spear stabbed and swept away, and when he heard this shout, he hurriedly ordered: "Stop!" "But the soldier is fierce, and if he hates in his heart, where is he willing to listen immediately? Although he slowly stopped, there were hundreds of corpses on the ground!
The other Chen Mengren led his troops to chase and kill all the way, and the thieves were defeated, leaving thousands of corpses behind, and fled as if they were dead. In the end, all the fathers and mothers knelt on the ground, screaming and surrendering.
"Whoever is leading, stand up!" There was a person inside, who slowly got up and walked towards Chen Mengren. In his early thirties, he was five feet five or six long, wore a collar and a straight jacket, and walked slowly forward with his head down. Go to Chen Mengren. plopped down and knelt down, kowtowed three times in a row, and shouted for mercy.
"Name, position!" Chen Mengren asked in a deep voice.
"The villain's surname is Zhuang, there is no big name, because the family is seven, the person is called Zhuang Qi, and he is in the righteous army...... Oh no, the army of thieves. It is a thief army, and he holds the position of deputy general. The man fell on the ground and trembled.
"Adjutant general? That's the general, he's there......"
Zhuang Qi kowtowed again and begged: "The military master spares his life!" The villain led the troops behind, and when he was ambushed in front, the small one led people to flee back! I didn't see General Zhang. ”
"You generals have no trace, do you dare to escape?"
"Master Jun, the villain is a subordinate of the eyes of the wind. Since the fall of the grass, he has decided who will lead how many subordinates with a single sentence. Although he is a lieutenant general, he also sets up a camp alone with a thousand soldiers. This army is the general Zhang Daniu. He also set up camp alone with 3,000 men. After the war, Feng Liyan put the small one and another general, Wang Dao, and combined Zhang Da Niu ......"
"What to do with these people?"
Wang Guang, who arrived later, came to the court, and the thief Zhang Daniu had been captured. After the two items are combined. The captives were on the top of three thousand. In addition to the more than 1,000 people who were killed, at most only two or three hundred escaped. The last thief leader, the king knife, also found the corpse while cleaning the battlefield.
Wang Guang asked in such a low voice beside Chen Mengren.
King Liang's team was not far ahead, and Chen Mengren's troops were fighting. There were no more troops to come and take prisoners.
"Elect the leader, and the old bandit with blood debts. Beheaded! Those who voluntarily surrender will be reduced by one level. ”
Chen Mengren shook his head at Wang Guang.
The rogues are hateful. But as soon as the Han army entered Qidi, the killer was killed, and the impact was not good. In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Mengren garrisoned outside a county town. For some reason, it's still a green wolf during the day, but it's pitch black at night. In the barracks, the fighting was fierce, the bonfires were bright, and the guards and patrols walked back and forth, while the rest of the men slept in their tents.
Zhang Daniu was held with ordinary prisoners. It is true that he is the leader of the thief, but there are relatively few evils, and he surrendered voluntarily, so his sentence was commuted and exempted from death. The captives were killed by three hundred, and the rest were divided into thirty or fifty men, and were guarded separately.
There are prison camps in the Han army, prisons in the county town, and prisoner camps outside the city. The captives were strictly forbidden to speak, but a few of them took advantage of the distraction of the guards to whisper.
"Where's the brother?"
"Laizhou's. What about you? ”
"I'm also from Laizhou. Originally, I followed Brother Cui to sell salt and mess around in the green forest, but when I heard that King Daliang had an incident, Brother Cui took us to rush to defect, and the result was ......"
"yes, that's a bad luck! I don't know if it's dead or dead. Hey, why don't we take advantage of the darkness ......."
"Silence! You want to kill me?! ”
While he was talking, he heard a man shouting outside, "You guys!" Mo Junhou has something to do with you! When the twenty or so guards heard this, they leaned in to the place where they were sounding. Among the thieves were shrewd, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, and with great courage, they crouched on the ground and crept forward to eavesdrop.
The 'cell' like a horse pen and a sheepfold is full of sound.
"General Chen has an order above...... Damn thief...... Can't stay...... It will be a long time to be in turmoil......"
The thief only heard a few words intermittently, but he was already terrified, and hurriedly retreated back the same way, and the accomplices around him came up to ask nonsense but did not understand the point. Seeing this, a sturdy man with a scar on his face slapped it and shouted in a low voice: "Silence, I want to die." Shut up and listen to people. What the hell are you listening to? Say it! ”
"This is a break! The other side is discussing the execution of me! Han dogs, such a ruthless heart. ”
The captives were dead silent. It's over, I wanted to beg for food, but before I ate a few meals, I had to die here, how can I live?
The fierce scarred face was also terrifying, but it was someone who had seen a big scene. Looking up, in the night, the guard was sitting in one place, and there was no other guard around. If you don't take advantage of this time to escape, you will be a moment late, and your life will not be guaranteed! After making up his mind, he said to the captives around him: "The matter has come to this, it is better to fight, or there is a glimmer of life!" ”
"One qiē, but listen to the eldest brother's orders!" The thieves whispered.
Everyone was panicked and terrified. At this time, it was the time for someone to take the lead, and with Scarface's fierce face, he could also control the scene.
"Later, they will all do what I am told, and if they are called to flee, we will scatter and flee. They all shouted with a loud voice, stirring up the brothers in the other circles. This group of birds, there are only a few hundred, and we can't take care of our heads, so we have to escape some. Scarface said hatefully. When the thieves heard this, they had no other way to think about it. It's better than sitting still, and you should take it all. While they were discussing, the twenty or so guards seemed to have finished their deliberations and began to return.
"Run!" Scarface roared, and one of them stood up and ran wildly, only hating his father and mother for having two legs missing. As soon as he took the lead, thirty or forty captives responded in drove, scattering and fleeing. Everyone was still shouting, and the whole prisoner camp was immediately in turmoil.
The Han guards shouted outside to chase after them. But when Scarface and the others escaped. He also shouted loudly, 'The Han army will be slaughtered, and the brothers will flee if they want to live', causing a commotion in the entire captive camp.
In the end, most of the captives were not re-encircled, but there were fish that slipped through the net.
"Chase! Pursue! ”
"Stop! Hold it! ”
Behind him, there was a loud shout of killing. Zhang Daniu secretly complained, he knew that this was the case, why bother to fall into the grass? But he never dared to slow down for half a point, he had a criminal record, and if he was caught by the Han army again, his life would definitely not be guaranteed.
Zhang Daniu ran, ran, ran. Slowly, the shouting behind him could no longer be heard...... He boldly looked back, there were no pursuers, and he couldn't see the Han cavalry chasing with torches. Oh my God. I escaped, I really escaped......
"God forbid, God forbid......" A kind of excitement surged from the bottom of my heart, and the horror and fright all disappeared. Zhang Daniu sat on the ground with his legs limp and cried.
Excitedly.
Hongqiu Lake.
The largest lake in Nanle is located in the entire 12 counties of Cizhou. It was also a land of abundance. In a peaceful and prosperous era, this is the land of fish and rice. The lake is rich in aquatic products, many families rely on the water for draft, and fishing boats go out day and night, and it is prosperous. Even in winter, it is also a lively scene to chisel ice net fish. But now, there is no winter fishing team on the ice of Hongqiu Lake, and there are no prosperous villages on the shore, only chaos.
The snow melted.
King Liang, King Dingyang, and San'er in the wind really can't walk. The team drove to Honghu Lake, and the bandits shouted to rest.
The three bandit leaders of the King of Daliang trekked hard in the mud for a few days, and they lost the ambition they had designed to overthrow the Hedong Army. When the Honghu Lake army stopped, he ordered his troops to leave the lake and station, and Xu Tu enterprising. Then Fengli Yan sent his brother-in-law Zhang Daniu with 5,000 troops to reinforce Huang Wen'an and Liang Guangfeng.
After the team was dispatched, Daliang Wang San anxiously waited for information. The situation in Xiangcheng really made them feel uneasy, it had been several days, not only Huang Wen'an, but also Liang Guangfeng, forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses had not sent back the slightest news.
When Zhang Daniu left, Fengliyan had instructions for him. As long as you hear the news of Huang Wenan and Liang Guangfeng, no matter what, send someone back first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the time reached dusk, some minions fled back. When he encountered the Han army on the road, only one cavalry charged, and the 5,000 troops collapsed. Seeing that the situation was wrong, they hurriedly slashed down and escaped, and finally managed to pick up a life.
The three of them were dumbfounded. Even Feng Liyan himself did not bother with the life or death of his wife and brother Zhang Daniu, but paid more attention to one problem: The Han army is only half a day away from Hongqiu Lake! They came to the nearest county to Hongqiu Lake, does that mean that Huang Wen'an, Liang Guangfeng and Nanle Yijun in Xiangcheng, more than 50,000 people and horses are all finished?
If not, how could the Han cavalry of the brigade be killed to the front?
The chest wall was beating like a drum, fluttering. King Liang hurriedly asked how the foot soldiers were? Did the Han cavalry continue to move south. got a negative answer, saying that the Han cavalry set up camp outside the county and collected the prisoners, and the three bandit leaders breathed a sigh of relief.
With the Hedong cavalry silently wiped out the military might of the three more than 50,000 rebel troops, and easily ate Zhang Da Niu's 5,000 people, and suddenly killed, the 1230,000 people such as the King of Liang were really enough.
Fortunately, the Hedong cavalry did not continue to raid over, but camped in the county town to collect prisoners. The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the uneasiness in their hearts.
Run, run away. Retreat, retreat
I ate this big loss. The group of killers of the Hedong Army couldn't be provoked, so they hid and left
Just when King Daliang, Fengliyan, and King Dingyang conveyed the order to their troops, they suddenly got a report, saying that Zhang Daniu had returned with the remnants!
The three bandit leaders were overjoyed! All of them went out of the camp to greet them. From a distance, I saw two minions carrying Zhang Da Niu, and they hurriedly ran towards the camp. Behind, nearly 100 people followed with their heads drooping and dejected. This is called the return of the remnants?
There are only so many of the 5,000 people left, and they are worthy of being called remnants?
At that end, Zhang Daniu saw his brother-in-law coming out, hurriedly pushed away the minions, cried and stepped forward, bowed his head: "I can't see my brothers!" ”
The wind is in the eyes, and the king of Daliang and the king of Dingyang are not good at what to say. Fengli Yan knows the quality of his wife and brother. snorted, and called Zhang Daniu to re-enter the account.
"What the hell is going on? How many men and horses did the Hedong Army come? ”
The big tent of the Chinese army, said to be a big tent, is actually made of bamboo strips used by farmers to dry grain, and there is a big hole in the top of the head, otherwise, the firewood in the tent will directly burn the big tent to ashes. Looking at the bonfire, Zhang Daniu felt a little relieved, and reported the matter to the three of Fengliyan. The others are basically in line with the facts, but the escape is said to be that he planned and then moved, led his subordinates to kill the opponent's guards, and escaped at night.
Fengli still doesn't know his brother-in-law? If Zhang Daniu really has this ability, how can he only lead 3,000 people by now? knew that there must be a falsehood in it, but he didn't say anything, just asked about the reality of the Han army. However, this time, what Zhang Daniu said was not the same as the fugitive, claiming that the number of people in the Han army was not too much. It is believed that after the Han army collected the prisoners, it did not have the strength to attack again. And they also planned to kill prisoners as a way to reduce the burden.
Some of the news was heard by his own ears, and on the way back, he learned a little bit of bits and pieces from the mouths of the hundred and ten, and sketched it out.
These words made Fengliyan, King of Liang, and King Dingyang feel at ease.
Of course, Zhang Daniu also said it. The cavalry of the Han army was well-equipped, super powerful, fearless of death, and advanced and retreated properly, but the officers and troops of the Qi State could compare, and the three of them immediately transferred their troops. The three bandits heard it, did not say anything, and ordered them to rest well! (To be continued)
