Chapter 670: The Night of the Decisive Battle
When Zhang Shao heard this, he was already taken aback.
He never imagined that in this Guangping Mansion, Jinyiwei had already laid out a net.
More than 3,000 Jinyi lieutenants, this is how many resources have been poured in.
Zhang Jing looked at him and smiled: "Are these people enough?" If it's not enough, I can send it. ”
"Enough, enough." Zhang Shao still had a little bit of broken jars, otherwise he would never dare to anger Long Yan.
But now he was chilling all over his body, and suddenly found that everything was in someone else's calculations.
Zhang Jingyi nodded and said: "In this case, go and arrange it, within three days, I want the result!" ”
Zhang Shao hurriedly nodded yes.
On the same day, a large number of people suddenly began to appear in Handan County, and then they invaded the door.
And these brocade guards are all too familiar.
From time to time, gunshots rang out from all over the county.
This is the voice of the executioner.
The men who had been taken from all the nearby granges almost blocked the gates, and for a moment everyone in the city was in danger.
Of course, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not interested in posting any notices to reassure the people at this time.
Because it won't be long before countless military horses will be mobilized here and near here.
And at this moment, what do you have to do...... It is to turn this Handan into a huge battlefield.
Everything was deployed quickly.
The communication between the capital and Handan has been completely severed.
This is, of course, to prevent someone in the capital from constantly passing on the deployment of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Zhang Jingyi.
After living for so many years, the Emperor of the Apocalypse can be considered to understand.
None of those people in the capital can be trusted.
The fundamental reason is that no matter what the old system or the new policy is, there is only one reason why there are so many problems in the Ming Dynasty......
That's people!
These people have long been established from the Ming Dynasty, and even before the creation of the Ming Dynasty, they have become a giant clan, they have risen to a high position step by step for various reasons, no matter what the system, they will always take the biggest benefit.
In fact, it's just a matter of getting benefits.
But the problem is that after a person has received a benefit, he will not stop because he will always want more.
Just like the Zhang family in Handan, they started mining to make money, and then felt that the profits from mining were not enough, so they would think about going public, and when the listed stocks still could not fill their desires, they would use their advantages to grab more.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to break his head, but he couldn't understand why these people would come to this point.
In the end, I came to the conclusion that the greed of these people is a bottomless pit, and I will never be able to satisfy them, since I cannot satisfy them...... So......
A forward army of horses, after the seventeenth, arrived in Handan.
They entered the city at night, under the stars and the moon, led by 3,000 people, that is, the first regiment of the first teaching brigade of the Donglin Army, under the leadership of the regiment commander Li Dingguo, after entering the city quickly, Li Dingguo went to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse non-stop.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was very happy, looking at this young guy, he immediately thought of himself at the beginning, now he is over thirty years old, much more stable than before, and at this time, Li Dingguo, who is only in his early twenties, has already been commanded by the official, leading the most elite soldiers and horses of the Donglin Army.
After the expansion, the military academy also established the Donglin Army, in addition to the major teaching teams, the Donglin Army set up regiments and battalions, the officers of the regiments and battalions called the commanders, and then set up squadrons and squads.
"When will the follow-up centaurs arrive?"
Li Dingguo said: "There is a lot of follow-up baggage, within ten days, you can arrive at the predetermined position, Deputy Chief Instructor Lu is afraid that His Majesty and his teacher will lose, so he ordered me to come lightly and come to the rendezvous first." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed: "How is the rogue over there in Nanzhili?" ”
"These rogues are very cunning, they know very well that our heavy troops are in Nanzhili, so they only attack on the periphery, and do not go deeper, so they are more confrontations with each other."
"Why don't you take the initiative?"
Li Dingguo smiled bitterly: "When the Liukou attacked, it was overwhelming, and in peacetime, it was broken into pieces, and when the army arrived, the vast majority of people lost their weapons, and they became Baixin again, and there was no way to suppress it." What the Donglin Army is best at is attacking fortifications and field battles, but if the Liukou does not seek a decisive battle, if the Donglin Army attacks everywhere, it will kill chickens with a knife. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse still didn't understand.
Zhang Jingyi explained: "In the final analysis, Donglin is a fist, which is used to fight hard, and such things as suppressing thieves are more just to maintain law and order, but it is difficult for the Donglin army to have miraculous results." Unless Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong gather troops and horses to fight to the death, if not, tens of thousands of troops, although the soldiers are good and have enough food, where to find most of the enemy's troops. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Then why don't you also learn from the rogue and gather together during the battle, and divide the troops to catch thieves on weekdays?" ”
Zhang Jingyi patiently analyzed: "It's not that the minister said that it was ineffective, but once the troops were divided, the teaching in the army might stop, and in addition, the Donglin Army couldn't pull artillery everywhere and carry boxes of gunpowder to go deep into the villages to suppress the thieves." Once it falls into such a situation, the Donglin Army will fall into passivity everywhere, and the task of teaching will also be abandoned, and it is best to maintain the original strengths. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded: "But this time, we can finally have a big battle, it seems that it is not only me, but the Donglin Army, and now it is also sharpening its knives." ”
After that, he looked at Li Dingguo: "You have also worked hard, go back to the camp and rest early." ”
Li Dingguo bowed his head, bowed, and retired.
Two days later, a recital report arrived.
In the Huaibei area, a large number of rogues began to gather, and Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong had also abandoned Nanzhili and marched all the way north.
After receiving the information, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but scold angrily: "The East Factory is a bunch of waste, as well as the cabinet and the six ministries...... It's all sake bags and rice bags. ”
Zhang Jing drove around the car and couldn't help but say, "Why is Your Majesty so angry? ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was so angry at this time that he almost jumped to his feet, and scolded: "The original report, a small victory in one day, a big victory in three days, how many thieves have been killed today, and how many thieves have been killed tomorrow, that's all, and what nonsense is in the report every day, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong turned against each other, fighting with each other, and Gao Yingxiang was seriously injured." What did Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang break up, scolded each other, and were tense. also said that Zhang Xianzhong's elder brother was hunted and killed by Li Zicheng and was tortured to death. ”
With a cold snort, he then scolded: "But look at it now, Li Zicheng of Wuchang has moved." Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong immediately joined forces to deal with Li Zicheng. It can be seen from this that even if these three people have any grievances, they are by no means exaggerated in the report, they are really like a rope in order to destroy our Ming Dynasty, and these princes and ministers of mine are still daydreaming of thieves fighting today and attacking each other tomorrow. ”
Zhang Jingyi: "......"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse continued: "Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses attacked quickly, but they were far away from Beizhili. And Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong ...... Now it's coming, and it's ...... The imperial court was almost defenseless, and it seemed that ...... A vicious battle is on the horizon. ”
Zhang Jing immediately said: "Since this is the case, then give Gao and Zhang two people first, and hit them head-on!" ”
Emperor Apocalypse bowed: "I also have this plan, since they are attacking, they must be rushing along the line of Henan, it is better to ......"
So the two monarchs and ministers discussed for another night.
…………
The mighty military horses are like entering a no-man's land.
At this time, the second army of Gao and Zhang had already merged into one, and more than 100,000 people had already rushed towards Beizhili.
After Gao Yingxiang received Li Zicheng's letter, he immediately decided to respond.
At this time, Gao Yingxiang was still the nominal leader of the Liukou, and he was the self-proclaimed king, and Li Zicheng at this time was just a general.
Of course, judging from the situation in the past few years, there have been great changes, Li Zicheng was in Wuchang, recruiting troops and buying horses, and slowly began to transition from the rogue to the separatist regime.
On the other hand, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong have always been planning to win Nanzhili.
It's just that although he is a rogue, he is cautious in his actions, and after several temptations, he found that this Nanzhili is as stable as a rock, in addition to gathering heavy troops, the imperial court has also achieved great results in Nanzhili.
Thereupon...... Gao Yingxiang was embarrassed, Henan and Guanzhong have not harvested for many years, and they can't feed such a huge military horse.
But Nan Zhili couldn't take it for a while.
Li Zicheng, who wanted to go to Wuchang, couldn't save face.
In this situation, as soon as the letter arrived, Gao Yingxiang was immediately keenly aware that the opportunity had finally come.
He first rode alone to see Zhang Xianzhong overnight, Xiao Yi was amazing, the two hit it off, determined not to miss this opportunity, simply killed a horse pistol, and directly took the capital.
After all, there has been infighting in the capital, and the emperor Lao'er seems to be anxious, plus Li Zicheng sent troops again, and the court is bound to take care of one and lose the other.
As long as the periphery of the capital is cleared in one fell swoop, the city can be directly besieged, and at that time, the demise of the Ming Dynasty is only a matter of time.
At this time, Gao Yingxiang was in high spirits, he and Zhang Xianzhong walked side by side, the two of them played horses, and watched the mighty people and horses extend to the end of their vision. Gao Yingxiang said: "Lao Zhang, if you want to speed up the pace, you must rush to destroy the official army in one fell swoop before Li Xiandi's men arrive." At that time, as soon as Brother Li arrives, you and I will turn against the guest, but you have to be careful......"
"There's nothing to be careful about." Zhang Xianzhong didn't think about it and said: "Those officers and soldiers are just wine bags and rice bags, the combat power of this Ming army, doesn't the king know?" I'm the one who kills the thief! ”
Zhang Xianzhong looked very optimistic.
In fact, over the years, the Ming army that died in his hands has been unknown, and the combat strength of the Ming official army is not worth mentioning in his eyes.
