"Beat the drums, gather the troops!"

Chen Wang's face was calm and he ordered indifferently.

There were no more than 4,000 guards outside Hanzhong City, and there were many old and weak people, all of whom were pieced together.

Among them, less than half of them are young and strong, and there are even fewer people who can fight and dare to fight.

When inspecting the guard camp, Chen Wang saw with his own eyes that most of the guards guarding the camp were yellow and thin, and their clothes were in tatters.

These guards are still a combat force when defending the city, and the most they can do in the field is to bully and bully those more unbearable rogue hungry soldiers, but once they encounter the impact of rogue horsemen or elite cavalry, they will definitely be the first to collapse.

From beginning to end, Chen Wang did not regard the thousands of guards outside Hanzhong City as a help.

Chen Wang stepped out of the Chinese army's tent with a sword and a bow, and all the guards outside the tent were fully armed, waiting outside the tent with horses and armor.

"Woo————"

The incessant sound of trumpets reverberated throughout the camp, and the sound of wind, footsteps, and shouts came from all directions.

Chen Wang turned over and got on his horse, sat on the war horse, and looked down at the military academy that followed him, and his mind turned a thousand times.

He has only been in this world for half a year, but in this half a year, he has already experienced dozens of large and small wars, and the hardships are not enough for outsiders, and he is no longer the original Chen Wang.

He didn't have enough time to adjust to his identity.

In just over a month, he went through 100 generals, promoted all the way to 1,000 generals, and then promoted to guerrillas, as a battalion general, most of this relied on the prophet of history.

Most of those who have risen to high positions in history will fall into the abyss of the clouds.

Without him, because virtue is not matched, can not be matched.

Therefore, since becoming a guerrilla, Chen Wang has not dared to slack off for a moment in the past few months.

Everything is one step at a time.

If you are not capable, you will spend more energy and effort than others.

Chen Wang knows his skills very well, he has read a lot of those famous military books, but what about them?

During the Warring States period, Zhao Kuo, who buried the 400,000 troops of Zhao State in Changping, read more military books than he did.

There are only two things he is good at than others, one is bravery, and the other is money.

Courage is the original martial arts, although it is not as good as Cao Wenzhao or Cao Bianjiao, but it is already the pinnacle of ordinary people.

Therefore, since Chunhua, every time there is a war, Chen Wang has never sat in the rear once, he has been in the battle formation in person, and even led the army to charge into battle many times.

The battlefield layout at the time of the general battle, and the power of the enemy after the war, were all learned from Cao Wenzhao.

Chen Wang's military literacy was poor at the beginning, but his opponents were not much stronger than him except for Li Zicheng who he met at the beginning.

The two sides are only half a catty and eight taels of each other, and he has 900 Liao cavalry under his command, and the imperial court provides ordnance, how can there be no reason to be invincible?

The money was snatched from Li Zicheng's hands, and it was precisely because of the money that he could train the public soldiers according to Qi Jiguang's method.

Except for revising some detailed problems, Chen Wang's rest of the methods of military training were all in accordance with the methods in Qi Jiguang's "Actual Record of Military Training" and "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" written by Qi Jiguang.

Because of this, the more than 4,000 soldiers led by Chen Wang now have the courage to be a strong army.

Qi Jiguang did not hide his personal interests, and every word in the two books "The Actual Record of Military Training" and "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" is his experience in military training over the past decades.

It's a pity......

Pearl Secret Investment......

The huge empire that once stood on top of the world was actually full of holes inside.

The root of everything needs to start with the defeat of Tumubao.

The power of the civil officials gradually overwhelmed the military attachés, the civil and military imbalances, the yin and yang were out of harmony, and the Ming Empire gradually began to decline irrepressibly from then on.

Even in the early and middle period of Wanli, the officials of the entire court were determined to forge ahead, showing the trend of Zhongxing.

There are Zhang Juzheng inside, and there are Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Ma Gui, Li Chengliang and other famous generals.

Up and down with their lives, all the armies are brave, Qinghai Sea

In those days......

There is no country in the world that can compete with the Ming Dynasty!

But unfortunately, all this changed rapidly after Zhang Juzheng's death.

When the ambitious Wanli was finally able to pro-government and wanted to change something, he found that even if he was pro-government, he was still not a real "emperor".

The so-called "emperor" is ordered by heaven and has a long life.

Chrysostom is a word.

Holding the king in his hand, he has a heavenly constitution in his mouth.

If you go with your will, you will live, and if you go against your heart, you will die!

The emperor is the co-lord of the world!

The Ming Empire, which had been sunk for many years, really needed an enterprising and ambitious "emperor".

But it's a pity......

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty did not need such an "emperor".

What they need is a "holy king".

A "holy king" who hangs his clothes, rules by inaction, and hands over all the power of the world to them.

The bane planted at the time of the civil fort made Wanli have no way to control the court that should have belonged to him.

The most outrageous thing he can do is not to govern the government......

There is discord between the top and bottom, open and secret fighting, and no party is willing to surrender.

As a result, the once powerful Ming Empire became more and more unbearable and declined.

However, the power of the civil officials did not decline much because of the confrontation of Wanli, and even became stronger during the Apocalypse and Chongzhen years.

"Chen Gong!"

Chen Wang waved his horsewhip, his eyes awe-inspiring.

"The subordinates are here."

Hearing the military order, Chen Gong immediately bowed down on one knee and bowed his head to obey the order.

"Quickly lead the cavalry of the headquarters to the south to help the Hanzhong Guard, and intercept the attacking enemy army."

Chen Wang didn't care about how the rogue arranged his troops.

Because in the entire Hanzhong Mansion, no army can stop this Liao cavalry under his command.

"Do your best to ensure that the Hanzhong Guards continue to support, and don't come back unless you hear the drums of the Chinese army."

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

For Jin Yipeng and Zhang Yuan, who are now in the east, he can be said to know the roots and the bottom.

There are many hungry soldiers under the command of Golden-winged Peng, and there are few elite cavalry, and there are only five or six hundred elite cavalry that can really be called elite cavalry.

The rest could only be regarded as horsemen at best, and the two together were only four or five thousand men, less than half of the troops under his command.

Zhang Yuan's command can be called a little more elite cavalry, but there are only more than 1,000 people, and the horse army is numerous, as many as 7,000 people, which is considered a force.

These news naturally came from the Hanzhong Guard, and all of them were sent back by Chen Wang's Liao cavalry in the past few days.

It is said that it is an army of 100,000, but the actual combat power is extremely weak, not to mention that there may be three or four percent of the women and children, it is said that there are very few people who can stand among the young and strong who really dare to fight.

Chen Gong led the order to turn over his horse and set up the flag, while the military academies who had not received special orders quickly rushed back to their respective camps.

Chen Wang drove the horse with a whip and led a group of horsemen to climb the hill built in the camp for use as a lookout hill.

The camp was originally built on the high ground, and now Chen Wang has climbed the hill platform again, and the situation in the east of the entire Hanzhong City has also been taken into account by Chen Wang.

"Woo————"

The sound of the trumpets in the camp had stopped, but the sound of the trumpets in my ears was still continuous, coming from the east outside the camp, followed by a shout like a mountain and a tsunami.

Chen Wang's face did not change, his gaze quickly swept over the entire battle situation, and he had already rushed to Qiutai at night when he was in charge of observation.

"The camp of the Hanzhong Guards suddenly caught fire, and then it was raided by the Liukou cavalry, and the siege of the Hanzhong Guards camp and other people were cavalry, with about 5,000 people, and they surrounded them from three sides."

"There are about 3,000 rangers in the east of our army to wander and guard, and the enemy army is now dispatching about 20,000 foot soldiers, and a total of seven formations are set up from north to south to support each other.

Chen Wang's gaze stayed on the guard camp of Han Zhongwei in the south.

The camp of the Hanzhong Guards was already in chaos, and the fires between the camps were miles apart, but they were all clearly visible, enough to see the intensity of the fire.

It was dusk, and sunset was only half an hour away.

The rogue suddenly attacked, and it seemed that there was also a fire to the inside, apparently picking on this slack point in time.

Not only Chen Wang saw it, but Hu Zhiyi, who was following behind Chen Wang, kicked the horse's belly lightly and drove the horse forward a little.

"The Liukou should set fire to the inside, and the cavalry of the brigade cooperated outside, and left the cavalry and foot soldiers to contain us in the north, it seems that they want to eat the guards of Han Zhongwei first."

Hu Zhiyi frowned, although he didn't look down on the combat power of the Hanzhong Guards, but if the Hanzhong Guards were really eaten, who would come to defend the city and let them transport ordnance and grain and grass to them.

"The second brother has few soldiers, and he can rush over, but I'm afraid he won't be able to stop the rout of the guards."

Hu Zhiyi, like Chen Wang, was born in a family, although he didn't have much ability to lead troops to fight before, but following Cao Wenzhao's side, he could roughly understand the situation on the battlefield.

Chen Wang turned his head to look at the large array of canine teeth of the eastern Liukou, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he swore an oath.

"The Guards can't be defeated."

Hu Zhiyi didn't know why, and followed Chen Wang's gaze to the east, but he didn't see any clues.

"Because the target of the Liukou was not the guards of Hanzhong from beginning to end."

Chen Wang's eyes were deep, he raised the horsewhip in his hand, and said in a deep voice.

"It's us."

Hu Zhiyi's pupils suddenly dilated in shock.

What Chen Wang said was the exact opposite of what he saw.

"What you see is what they want us to see."

Chen Wang didn't explain, but just stretched out his hand to the right, and a horse lance was quickly handed to him by the guard.

Holding the cold horse lance in his hand, Chen Wang's heart slowly sank downward.

The cold touch slowly passed up his arm, making Chen Wang's mind gradually clear.

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

In the camp, the drums of war gathered had completely fallen at this time.

With the tip of the lance slanting his finger, Chen Wang turned his horse's head and looked back at the group of armored horsemen who followed behind him and shouted.

"Out of the camp!"
