Chapter 11 Task 4: Contact Zhang Xianzhong (I)

Zhang Xianzhong did come, but as the saying goes, "the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind", at this time, the thieves only occupied Luliang Mountain and its vicinity, and almost all the larger castles were still in the hands of the officials and soldiers.

Therefore, when Gou Fuwei, the general of the partial pass sub-guard stationed in Yongning Prefecture, came out to block the lantern brigade, the Hu Dawei Department stationed in Shilou County had already gone north early to intercept Zhang Xianzhong, who was about to take over the lantern!

Tiger Dawei, known as the "two tigers" like a fierce tiger, are Mongolians who fled from the Mongolian tribe to the mainland, very brave, although Zhang Xianzhong at this time is already very powerful, but it is obviously not enough to see such a general as Tiger Dawei.

On the opposite side of Wubao County, there is a Sanchuan River, and Zhang Xianzhong's department was blocked by Hu Dawei on the north bank of the Sanchuan River!

This place is still twenty miles away from the ferry port near Wubao County!

In other words, Long 13 wanted to light a lamp to contact Zhang Xianzhong, not only to defeat Gou Fuwei as soon as possible, but also to ensure that Zhang Xianzhong's troops would not collapse in a short time.

With the strength of the two parts of Lighting the Lamp and Zhang Xianzhong at the moment, it will be difficult to deal with any of them together, let alone one alone?

"Unless there's a third rebel army around here"

It's a pity that Feng Shuangli had already contacted Zhang Xianzhong a day in advance, and he didn't know the specific location of the rebels in the area of Gu Jishan.

Eventually, he found the lighter.

"Big boss, the Eight Kings were blocked by another Ming army in the Sanchuan River, if he can't get over, I can't wait."

Zhao Sheng really appreciated Long Thirteen at this time, not to mention, if it weren't for him, he would have been whipped to death by Sun Shoufa just now, and as soon as he died, the lantern brigade would definitely be torn apart, and it would soon be wiped out by the official army.

The reason why he is still commanding the troops in the name of the big boss in front of his eyes is the existence of Dragon Thirteen.

"What do you mean?"

"The big boss, I suggest that the second boss and the third boss should go forward as soon as possible to assist the five masters, plus the baiters, it should be able to resist for a while, but it is estimated that it will not last too long"

"And I will take the old battalion infantry army to march forward to the Sanchuan River, assist the Eight Kings to defeat the other Ming army as soon as possible, and then go north to flank Gou Fuwei, so that we and the others have a chance to live!"

If it was still before, Zhao Sheng would definitely be disdainful, "Just rely on your newly trained two hundred infantry troops?" ”

But Long Thirteen's performance on the ice just now really impressed him, so he nodded solemnly.

Before leaving, Long 13 said: "Big boss, it's best to send some more people to investigate around, to see where else the righteous army is also close to the left, if there are still strong reinforcements coming, it will be good."

......

"Yuan Zongdi, fifteen years old, force value 78, commander value 50, agility value 80, luck value 75, wisdom value 30"

"White Three, seventeen years old, Strength 82, Commander 30, Agility 80, Luck 80, Wisdom 20"

Since he had the secret skill of "Insight", Long Thirteen could open the simulator box at any time to check anyone's assignment, and after leaving the ferry with the two of them, he couldn't wait to open it immediately.

If they were still in the state of playing games in the later life, the cultivation value of these two people would not be high, but Long Thirteen knew that Yuan Zongdi was just a small blacksmith who had never entered the military camp not long ago, how could the commander value be high?

As for Bai San, he was still a sheep herding baby a few days ago, and it is already a high incense to have the current assignment, and it is impossible to be talented from the beginning like in the game.

Knowing that Long Thirteen was going to take them to "rescue" the Eight Kings, these two boys were not afraid at all, but were very excited, which made Long Thirteen sigh.

"Sure enough, there are famous generals."

Twenty miles, if it was at a normal speed, it would take at least an hour and a half to walk, but because he was worried that Zhang Xianzhong's troops would be quickly defeated by Hu Dawei, Long 13 decided to cross the mountain area between the crossing and the Sanchuan River at a trotting speed.

......

Liudaowan, the later Bapanshan Village, has this name because the Sanchuan River has formed six obvious large bays after coming here.

To the north of Liudaowan is a small village, but now it has become the place where Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings of the 36 families of Yan'an Prefecture, fought with the Shanxi general Hu Dawei.

Zhang Xianzhong's troops had 700 horses, but the Tiger Dawei Department had 1,500 horses, he occupied Liudaowan early in the morning, and as soon as Zhang Xianzhong crossed the river, he launched a fierce attack!

Zhang Xianzhong had been the head of the border army of the Ming army before the rebellion, and after the rebellion, he also had a set of skills in training soldiers, he did not copy the tactics of the Ming army, but at this time he had already pioneered the implementation of the "leader" method in the team.

This method sounds good, but it is actually to consume the cavalry as a ravine, a bait.

Any cavalryman under his command who can persist in the charge for ten battles without retreating, and who is not injured in the back after the battle, can be included in the ranks of the "leader".

After entering the "leader", he will be paid, and after taking the city, he will give priority to the distribution of looted materials, give priority to women, and his family will be best taken care of.

In addition, this person can also designate his own heir in advance, and the heir can enjoy everything that the "leader" has obtained for a certain period of time, and of course, once the heir reaches the age of fifteen, he must also enter the cavalry training.

This kind of regulation is actually a disguised, thief's version of the knighthood system, although it is a little cruel, but once you get this title, all of them are brave people.

His eight righteous sons, and later famous generals, were all trained through the "leader" regulation, and although Li Zicheng's "three walls" tactics were somewhat similar, because Li Zicheng was only a post soldier, he obviously would not have formulated suitable tactics early on like Zhang Xianzhong, and it would take five years to finally come out.

At present, the most famous under Zhang Xianzhong are three people:

The Mongols Shahei, Sun Kewang, and Wang Xingguo are all outstanding representatives of the "leader" tactics.

Especially that Wang Xingguo, it seems that he was born to kill, and when Hu Dawei suddenly appeared, although Zhang Xianzhong was a little flustered, he quickly made a decision.

There were fifty "leaders" in his battalion, and he handed them all over to Wang Xingguo to command, and then took advantage of the narrow terrain near Liudaowan to withstand the stormy attack of Hu Dawei!

In addition, since Hu Dawei appeared here, it must be difficult to light the lamp while crossing the river, so he hurriedly sent Feng Shuangli to contact again, so Feng Shuangli met Long Thirteen halfway!

After learning that the battle was taking place on the Yellow River and the ferry, Feng Shuangli couldn't care about it anymore, he didn't have any hope for Long Thirteen, and hurried back to inform the Eight Kings that it was serious.

At this time, Dragon Thirteen was still three miles away from Liudao Bay!

"Rest here for a while!"

Long Thirteen gave the order, and after receiving the message from Feng Shuangli, Long Thirteen was also nervously thinking about how to deal with it.

"It is said that I am in the back, Zhang Xianzhong is in the outermost, and the Tiger Dawei Department is just sandwiched in the middle, but because of its too many military strength, it is enough for me to drink a pot at random, in fact, it makes no difference whether I have it or not, but if he sends a veteran to deal with me and others, I will have a chance."

Dragon Thirteen's luck came.

Hu Dawei is a veteran general in the army, so naturally he will not sit idly by and ignore him, and soon discovered Long 13 and his party, and when he learned that he only had one or two hundred infantry troops, Hu Dawei did not underestimate the enemy.

"The elite of the thieves are all in the cavalry, and at the moment they have only sent two hundred infantry troops, most of them are ravines and baits in their camps, they are here to lure the enemy, and there must be a large team behind."

So, he sent his deputy, Zhang Dechang, from a family of Yulin military generals!

At this time, Zhang Quanchang, Zhang Yingchang, and Zhang Dechang of the Zhang family are all generals guarding one side, and the first two have been appointed as general soldiers and deputy generals, that is, Zhang Dechang is just a garrison next to Hu Dawei because he is still young.

He gave Zhang Dechang a hundred cavalry and four hundred infantry troops!

"Zhang Dechang, twenty-two years old, Jingle garrison, martial arts, force value 85, commander value 75, agility value 70, luck value 70, wisdom value 65"

As soon as he saw Zhang Dechang's astonishing value and the large number of men and horses under him (compared to himself), even if Long Thirteen was ambitious, he couldn't help but be stunned.

And on his side, "Long Thirteen, born from starvation, Yuan Zongdi, was a blacksmith a month ago, and he was only fifteen years old, Bai San, ten days ago, he was still a sheep herding baby, and he was only seventeen years old."

What's more, Zhang Dechang on the opposite side seemed to attach great importance to his troops, with the heavily armored infantry in front and the archers behind, and did not risk the impact with cavalry, which made the strategy that Long Thirteen had just come up with immediately come to naught.

"Don't have any illusions, this army can't have a chance to defeat Zhang Dechang's 500 cavalry, but ......"

This "but" is naturally a simulator, once he has a chance to kill Zhang Dechang, his troops are very likely to collapse without a fight, thus indirectly supporting Zhang Xianzhong!

But he didn't want to give up the opportunity to train his small army for the first time.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Dechang asked about 100 of the former army, all of whom were wearing iron armor, and the infantry troops with spears and halberds had rushed up!

Looking at these "troops" who only wore a pair of straw sandals under their feet and barely had a fat jacket on their bodies, Long Shisan's eyes couldn't help but become solemn.

"Array!"

After a while, he finally shouted.

The road in front of him can only accommodate four people to pass side by side, he let Bai San, who has the greatest strength, rush forward with three people, followed by three rows, all of whom have the greatest strength and courage in the team, and let Yuan Zongdi take the other four rows to the back, so as to meet Bai San at any time.

And he went up the mountain with twenty pikemen with bows and arrows!

The terrain on both sides of the Yellow River is not so much a mountain as a gentle slope of the highland, and the highland where Long Shisan is located happens to be a highland with trees, otherwise if it is still a bare and barren mountain like the Loess Plateau, he would not have had a chance to climb it.

However, this section was not only thought of by him, but also by Zhang Dechang.

Zhang Dechang naturally did not have his mind of preparing to snipe the opponent's main general, but in order to make a detour from the mountain, and then either cut off the waist or intercept it, and then quickly strangle this small army.

So, he sent out his hundred sword and shield men, which were clearly more suitable than pikemen in the mountains.

Of course, although Long Thirteen only had pikemen under his command, he was naturally not completely inconsiderate, and he stupidly rushed towards it with a spear.

He himself burst forward, leading four pikemen of equal height and strength in the form of geese, and the second row were archers, and then pikemen, archers, and pikemen were arranged in this way.

Of course, on a mountain with dense forests, although the slope is gentle, it is obviously impossible to form a tight formation on flat ground, but it is only a rough idea.

In this way, Long Thirteen met the opponent's sword and shield soldiers in a mountain col!

What is beneficial to him is that if the opponent's sword and shield soldiers are on flat ground, they must have a variety of formation arrangements, but when they reach the mountain, they will be scattered.

As a result, the Dragon Thirteen, which was also a slightly scattered goose-shaped array, came into play!

I saw that Long Thirteen stabbed out with a strong shot, and the sword and shield soldiers who stood out from the opponent's lone quickly blocked it with their shields, so his abdomen and thighs were exposed, and the other pikemen hurriedly stabbed there.

As the screams of the sword and shield soldier came out, the other sword and shield soldiers followed, they were scattered from the opposite side, and they had no idea that they would need to gather together to deal with a thief's infantry army.

So, although they all came in one direction, they were still in twos and threes.

In about a moment's time, Long Thirteen, who was at the forefront of the spot, had already killed two of the opponent's sword and shield soldiers directly through his own stabbing attacks, and three of them had created opportunities for his teammates to stab the abdomen and face by stabbing the opponent's shield.

This is only his point, there are four rows of soldiers in the same formation behind him, in addition to stabbing, the archers also shoot arrows from time to time, and in an instant, the screams of the sword and shield soldiers in the mountains and forests are endless.

However, in this way, the attention of the enemy was aroused, and after this attack, with the sound of a gong, the sword and shield soldiers who were walking all over the mountain retreated, and then gathered together under the leadership of a general and rushed over!

However, during this period of time without fighting, Long Thirteen seemed to realize something, and he also made adjustments!
