Qingyang County Yamen, Wang Luo gathered the backbone and cadres of the army and said: I received news today, the magistrate of Qingyang Prefecture has sent troops to attack us, Xiaoqi, tell me about the specific situation.

Xiao Qi stood up and saluted Wang Luo and said: Because of the large-scale civil unrest that broke out in the north of Shaanxi, the officers and soldiers of Qingyang Mansion were transferred to the north and went to quell the chaos, resulting in a serious shortage of officers and soldiers in Qingyang Mansion now, and they can only protect themselves and have no ability to attack, so when an uprising breaks out in Qingyang County, Zhiqingyang County.

The prefect of Qingyang Prefecture mobilized the four counties of Huachi, Ning, Zhenyuan, and Heshui around Qingyang County, and each county dispatched 500 officers and soldiers to us. However, rest assured, and I understand it even more, the combat effectiveness of the officers and men in these four counties is not much different from that of the officers and men of Qingyang County, and they are all very low.

But it should be noted that it was Lin Qing, the head of Qianzong sent by Qingyang Mansion, who brought out two hundred family members, of which 100 were cavalrymen, the equipment was very luxurious, and the armed cavalry was like a small arsenal, not to mention the armor on his body, all of them were defensive and strong. On the horse's back, a spear hangs on the left side, a lancet hangs on the waist, and there are two small axes stuck in the back, wearing a longbow, and on the other side of the horse, there is a three-eyed system, which can be said to be able to fight far and close. The combat effectiveness is very strong, and I also heard that the family members brought by Mr. Lin Qian are all human heads with tartars in their hands.

In addition, there were 100 musketeers with lancets at their waists and musket ropes in their hands, which gave the musketeers a certain melee ability. I heard that these hundred people have been recruited in recent years, and their combat power is not as good as those cavalry, but they are also rare elite soldiers.

I am not afraid to deal with them alone, but I am afraid that they will mix with the miscellaneous soldiers, consume our energy with the miscellaneous soldiers, and then surprise them with the elite soldiers. If they use tactics like that, we'll be passive. Even if we win, we will lose a lot.

Since they are afraid, then don't let them converge and get together again, from near to far, and break them one by one. See how they converge. Hearing the end, Wang Luo slapped the table and said.

Lack of soldiers and major generals, sighed in my heart, originally I planned to take 400 elite soldiers to raid Heshui County and Huachi County, which were closest to me, and then use 600 soldiers to fight against the officers and soldiers of Ning County and Zhenyuan. The previous battles were all won by cunning, and there has been no hard resistance between soldiers and generals.

But there are no generals in the army, and the two of them have experienced too short wars and lack of experience, and now they are boldly pushed up, I am afraid that they will not work. As for Muzi, that's not to mention. As for Wang Tiancheng, it's okay to rush and fight, and I've been talking to him for a long time about arranging troops, but I just don't get the hang of it, it's really an elm brain. So he can only be said to be a pioneer, a tower bridge to pave the way, or a guard to protect me.

Subsequently, Wang Luo thought about it and thought: Now when the pressure is not great, if you don't give them enough experience, according to the ups and downs of the rebel army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the battle in the future will only be more cruel than now. It is not like the defeat of Songshan in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the military generals of the imperial court withered, and most of the military generals did not listen to the order, and the heart of self-preservation was very strong.

In the future, when confronting the imperial court, it must be divided into troops to confront, after all, there are still many famous generals in the Ming Dynasty, and they can't be unified like this, at that time, there are not a few outstanding generals under them, and no one is against those famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it very bad, it's too late to train when the time comes, it's better to train now, and take advantage of the rest of the Ming Dynasty when Wang Er and them are on them, cultivate more and experience more. At most, after fighting the officers and soldiers of the two counties, they will rush back on a hurried march to see what changes have been made in the battle situation, and whether they need help, so that they can be trained and the losses can be minimized.

Thinking of this, Wang Luo changed his original order, the original plan remained unchanged, and he took his elite soldiers to raid the officers and soldiers of Heshui County and Huachi County, and the officers and soldiers of Ning County and Zhenyuan County were handed over to Xiao Qi.

Wang Luo made up his mind and looked at them and said seriously.

When the three of them heard this, they stood up excitedly and said: Please rest assured, the leader is in the city, and the people are dead in the city, as long as we are in us, we will not let the officers and soldiers come in and harm a common people.

Wang Luo rolled his eyes when he heard this, and scolded: Idiot, the city is gone, you can fight back, if the people are gone, there will be nothing, and people have to live, so that you don't protect the people and no matter what plans you have, there is one thing, the people must not let the officers and soldiers be harmed, you know no.

Listening to Wang Luo's serious voice, Xiao Qi and the others nodded again and again to show that they understood clearly.

In the middle of the night, Wang Luo said goodbye to everyone and marched in the middle of the night with the selected 300 elite soldiers, and the troops carried torches one by one to advance quickly, towards the target Heshui County.

The topography of Heshui County is interspersed with mountains and rivers, high in the northeast, low in the southwest, and the Meridian Ridge runs through the north and south, of which the Meridian Ridge has complex topography and spans many counties in Shaanxi.

Heshui County is too close to Qingyang County, only more than 50 kilometers, but in ancient times the roads were not developed, they were all potholes, and the march was marched in two columns or four rows, and the speed would not be too fast, but according to the footsteps of our Huaxia Army, the rapid march could be reached in one day, and if the officers and soldiers were estimated to be about the same, but after one day, they could not get out of bed the next day, and they screamed in pain, waiting to be captured.

Now the officers and soldiers of Heshui County have two plans to choose, one is to wait for the officers and soldiers of Huachi County in the rear, to form a joint army together, and to attack Qingyang County together, but the disadvantage of this is that the spoils of war will be reduced, I heard that Mr. Lin Qian compared me to fat, and everyone wants to take a bite. In this case, how can this piece of fat be given away? But if you want to bite off our fat, it depends on whether your teeth are good or not, don't bite your teeth out at that time.

There is also a plan that without waiting for the officers and soldiers of Huachi County, they will form a team with the officers and soldiers of Heshui County to attack Qingyang County, and Lin Qing's arrogance is likely to choose this. After all, this kind of military exploits and spoils only need to be shared with the officers and soldiers of Heshui County, and it is he Lin Qing who takes the lion's share.

Heshui County is located on the Meridian Ridge, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, the terrain is rarely flat, it can be said that the cavalry is extremely difficult to play, for the cavalry has not been dealt with, we are a very good terrain, and then the writing war for the habit of riding the cavalry of the hundred cavalry can be said to be a broken arm.

Leaving at four o'clock in the morning, the Huaxia Army only brought three days of dry food with each person, marched all the way, and finally it was not yet dawn, the time was more than five o'clock in the morning, and when they arrived at a place 15 kilometers away from Heshui County, they did not set up camp.

They are all veterans, they all know what to do, sit on the grass and gnaw dry food in their hands, silently recovering their strength, afraid that there will be a fierce battle next.

In the early morning of the next day, the county gate of Heshui County was opened, Lin Qing took his family out of the city first, and then Jin Yi slowly walked out with the officers and soldiers.

Jin Yi also came out of Meizizi, you must know that the original Ming army captured twenty-eight points, Shangguan Lord will be two people under eight, as for the small soldiers or something, just take a little bit and not starve to death, and this time because of his own super-doing, the main general agreed to divide the seized material fifty-fifty, so he has a lot of room for maneuver, and he can make a good profit.

Suddenly, Jin Yi looked at Lin Qing, who was walking towards the north, and hurriedly ran over and said: Mr. Qian, the direction of Qingyang County is the south, and you are in the direction of Huachi County to the north, are you going wrong.

Hearing this, Lin Qing did laugh out loud and said with a smile: Thank you for the reminder, but of course I know that the location of the thieves is further south, but in the north, there are also prefects and reinforcements, and this thousand households have always been safe. Since there are reinforcements, why don't the two armies merge together and set off together, fighting against the thieves can also reduce unnecessary losses, don't you say, Brother Jin Yi.

Jin Yi was immediately anxious when he heard this, and said to Lin Qing: Lord Qianhu, what you said is right, but the art of war is cloudy, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and attack him by surprise. We need to be fast, and defeat the thieves before they react. But if we wait for the officers and soldiers of Huachi County to join forces and then take action, I am afraid that when the time comes, the thieves will be fully prepared, and it will not be right at that time, and we will also be seriously damaged.

Lin Qing waved his hand unconcernedly when he heard this, and said: How do the thieves know what to defend the city, it is nothing more than relying on the strength of the crowd.

With the tiger squat cannon in Lao Tzu's hand, let those thieves who have never seen the world see and understand, there is still such a magic in the world, coupled with the bravery of the officers and soldiers, I believe that the officers and soldiers will be able to conquer everything and be invincible.

Jin Yi was even more anxious when he heard this, walked forward quickly, grabbed Mr. Qian's horse and whispered to Lin Qing: Mr. Qian, what you mean is small, let's do it, take a step back, how about the little one take forty percent, and the little one will also be responsible for the brothers behind him, and I hope that the adult will raise his noble hand.

Lin Qing shook his head when he heard this, and said: Jin Yi, do you know that the prefect asked me to take 2,000 officers and soldiers from the four counties to Qingyang County to suppress thieves, why didn't I go closer, but ran to Heshui County, the farthest county, to you?

Jin Yi hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed his head and said respectfully: Please give me advice, and I would like to hear the details.

Lin Qing said: Because you are the closest to the thief, I don't want to share the battle merits to others You don't understand, so you can only get two percent of the loot this time, but if you don't want to, I can also wait for the rest of the officers and soldiers to come together, and then you don't even have two layers, you give me a good idea and answer my words.

Jin Yi listened to Lin Qing's slightly threatening words: I was helpless in my heart, what Lin Qian said was right, if he waited for the rest of the officers and soldiers to come together, his spoils would be less, and Lin Qing's military exploits would be several points, but the prefect still commanded well. However, if there are fewer people, there will be fewer military achievements, Jin Yi still knows this truth, and everything is subject to the arrangement of adults.

Lin Qing looked at Jin Yi and smiled proudly, turned his horse's head, and led the army to Qingyang County.
