Miao Sanguan's strategic layout and military force unfolding, the whole process is one link after another, the purpose is to make the enemy have no time to react.

Xiong Chu added more than 2,000 troops to Tangda, of course, there were other combat missions, and the other two troops had already been deployed nearby. Although there was no earth-shattering Armageddon, the battle was even more thrilling.

After Chige's shooting battalion was replaced from Xiaochang County by Ma Guangyi's department, it quickly disappeared from people's sight.

The Shooting Battalion is a fist force in Xiong Chu's hands, and the Flying Dragon General Chige is also one of Xiong Chu's most valued generals, of course, he must use his strengths.

Kong Youde led the army all the way south to pursue it, and while Sun Long's front army occupied Yicheng County, the eastern army on the left flank also launched an operation.

The left-wing East Road army was 18,000 people led by Shen Zhixiang and Shen Yongzhong, father and son, and the goal was to occupy Suizhou City and open up the connection with Geng Zhongming in the east, and then they could launch a dragnet encirclement and suppression of the remnants of Li Zicheng's Dashun army.

Suizhou is an ancient city with a long history.

From Yin Shang down, Suizhou City is a famous historical city, and Li Bai, Ouyang Xiu and others once wrote a lot of words here.

In particular, the poet immortal Li Bai's "Talking about Xuanzuo with Yuandanqiu Fangcheng Temple" seems to really want to become an immortal, which makes people have a headache to watch:

In the vast dream, I am the only one who has the foresight. Take off the wind and fire, fake cooperative appearance. Eliminate all doubts and appreciate the essence. Clearly contemplating this body, because it can be illuminated. Before and after Lang Wu, he knew that Jin Xian was wonderful. Fortunately, the Zen dwellers sat down and summoned each other. If I am mourned, how can Yunshan be different. The breeze gives birth to the void, and the bright moon talks and laughs. Yiran Qinglian Palace, always willing to wander around.

"Poetry and Business Ode to Yin Wu" cloud: "Wei Nu Jing Chu, living in the south of the country. In the past, there was a soup, since the other side of the Qiang, don't dare not come to enjoy, don't dare not come to the king, said business is constant. ”

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Suizhou and even the entire Jianghan region were called "Southern Soil".

Suizhou is Tongbai Mountain to the north, and Dahong Mountain is to the southwest, with hills and slopes in between.

There is a long and narrow plain in the middle of the two mountains, which runs northwest to southeast, covering most of Suizhou and Zaoyang, and is called the "Suizao Corridor".

Unlike the Silk Road, the "Suizao Corridor" conveyed not silk or pottery, but a large amount of copper.

Chase the Central Plains, win the Central Plains, as long as you can think of these two words, and then trace back to the source according to the word "Zhongding", you will definitely be able to find Suizhou.

The war is fought with copper and iron, and the occupation of Suizhou has become inevitable.

Kong Youde thought of it, and Miao Sanguan couldn't have thought of it.

Not letting Suizhou fall into the hands of the enemy, not letting copper and iron invest in the enemy, this is also a strategic policy.

Miao Sanguan thought of the stakes, and of course he had to take action.

His Majesty, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, received an explanation, and of course agreed with the adoption of action, and the Manchu Tartars must not be allowed to take advantage.

The first person to take action to prevent the Manchu Tartars from taking advantage was the Flying Dragon General Chige.

The main reason why Chige took relevant actions immediately was that the shape of the company was changing too quickly, and he didn't have time to make any careful plans, and it was completely an improvisational thinking.

It turned out that whether the 108th Battalion rebelled back then, or Li Zicheng's Dashun Army later, they were just a group of homeless people who wanted to eat a full meal and then die, and they didn't have any long-term plans at the beginning.

They have not thought about running a piece of land, nor have they thought about the fundamental question of "what should they do to ensure that everyone has something to eat".

The displaced people did not have any lofty goals, nor could they have any strategic vision, so naturally they did not think about building a stable rear.

Without their own rear, there is a lack of basic supplies, so the Dashun army started from the old king Gao Yingxiang, and implemented a mobile plunder policy, so it was called a rogue by people.

Li Zicheng's Dashun army was able to defeat the imperial court officials and forces the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen to hang the coal mountain, but it could not resist the invasion of the Manchu Tartars, and the most critical problem was that there was no solid rear base.

Without the establishment of a rear base, there was no experience in managing the people, let alone how to govern the country, and of course did not understand the essential difference between the Manchu Tartars and the imperial court officials and troops.

There is no doubt that although the Ming court is extremely corrupt, it will not kill its own people, because those Diao people are their own people after all.

But the Manchu Tartars are different, they are completely a group of alien wolves that have not completed their evolution, and killing people and slaughtering cities are commonplace.

Although Emperor Li Zicheng of Dashun was lucky to seize the capital division, he was not prepared to govern the country, and he did not know how to govern the country.

Due to a one-sided understanding of the internal letter that "those who win the hearts of the people win the world," the Dashun army let the ordinary people go unchecked, and all of them were exempt from rent and taxes; but they demanded too much from the eunuchs and landlords, so they were indignant and the people's hearts were scattered.

In addition, the Dashun army destroyed all the local political power wherever it passed, and the people lacked the most basic organization and restraint, and it was completely scattered. Naturally, the army thus formed was muddy and uneven.

After the Manchu Tartars entered the customs, they shaved their heads and classified, and they killed and poked Liwei, showing people what it means to be bloody and terrifying.

Whether it is ordinary people, or the official eunuchs who surrendered to the Dashun Army, their actions are all to save their lives, and they can't really support the Dashun Army at all, let alone have any common goals and pursuits.

Suddenly encountering the inhumane massacre of the Manchu Tartars, the fear was infinitely magnified, and it almost reached the Cheng dù of "hearing the Tartars and splitting the heart".

In just an instant, "surrendering for survival" became the most destructive "plague" in Henan and Hebei, so the army was defeated like a mountain, and there was no longer a figure who could turn the tide.

Suizhou is such a key point, but Li Zicheng did not take it to heart. When he entered the Central Plains in the north last year, he only left the general Zong Ze to lead 600 people to defend the city.

After Kong Youde occupied Xiangyang City, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered Shen Zhixiang to lead the Eastern Route Army to Suizhou, and Wei Guoan led the Western Route Army to attack Nanzhang County to the west.

With the surrender of Zong Ze and the fall of Suizhou City, Shen Yongzhong, the pioneer of Kong Youde's Eastern Route Army, led 2,000 people to occupy the city, and the general Zong Ze was beheaded.

Because of his small number of soldiers, although Shen Yongzhong broke his promise and killed Zong Ze, he was still worried that there were people in the city who had bad intentions and made trouble, so he did not dare to station troops in the city. Instead, he set up a large camp in the north of the city and waited for his father Shen Zhiyang to lead the arrival of the army.

There are exploits and disadvantages in everything, and nothing in the world is perfect.

Shen Yongzhong camped outside the city, which shows that he is a very cautious person.

Prudent people are careful, but they may not be able to do good things.

Shen Yongzhong thought that he was careful enough, but he didn't know that he had left a fatal loophole.

After Chige led the Shooting Battalion out of Xiaochang County, it disappeared, but Wanying's female battalion of 4,800 people became an eye-catching force.

The reason why the women's barracks are eye-catching is that they spread their banners along the way, marching to Suizhou City, and at the same time, they also carried out a thorough reorganization of the villages and towns where they passed.

All those who were murdered were killed, and then the household registration was re-registered, and the common people were allowed to elect capable people to serve as magistrates.

In this way, there is naturally a lot of movement, but the speed of the march is very slow.

Ignoring the great enemy of Suizhou, but wasting too much time on trivial matters, the women's barracks is completely a practice of sacrificing the basics.

Shen Yongzhong thought that the "Healthy Women's Battalion" from Xiaochang County was short-sighted, picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons, so he didn't take Wanying's women's barracks seriously in his heart.

This can't be blamed on Shen Yongzhong, because he didn't know that there were other women's barracks in this world, and thought that the army composed entirely of young women from Xiaochang County was the women's battalion under Li Zicheng's wife, Mrs. Gao.

Shen Yongzhong didn't pay attention to Li Zicheng's main force, not to mention that the people who threatened to seize Suizhou City were all women.

On the night of the second day after setting up a large camp in Sanli, north of Suizhou City, Shen Yongzhong received the news that the "Jiannu Camp" was still one hundred and twenty miles away from the east gate of Suizhou City, and according to the speed of their march, it was estimated that it would take three more days to arrive.

Although I don't care, the female soldiers of the Healthy Women's Battalion are not afraid of death, and they have sworn not to surrender in distress many times in the past twenty years, and proper vigilance is necessary, because Shen Yongzhong is originally a very cautious person, so he needs to hold a combat meeting.

Shen Yongzhong summoned his generals to study the strategy of dealing with the enemy, but he didn't expect that when everyone heard that it was the female soldiers of the "Healthy Women's Battalion", they immediately became elated, and almost everyone hoped that their troops would take the lead, and they would fight fiercely.

It turned out that the Eight Banners of the Han Army collected by the Manchu Tartars still continued the original management model: most of the women and livestock looted on the battlefield were rewarded to the meritorious soldiers who participated in the war.

Now that there are 5,000 female soldiers coming over at once, it is a huge wealth for the Manchu Tartars, and the lackeys of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, who have forgotten their ancestors, naturally think the same.

The five thousand ladies sent it to the door by themselves, which is a rare opportunity to make a fortune. Besides, whoever grabs it on the battlefield is whoever wins, and it can't be fought if it doesn't work, and it can't be fought slowly.

Shen Yongzhong, as the vanguard commander, was a little calmer: "Ladies and gentlemen, the main force of our East Road army is carrying a lot of baggage, so the marching speed is slower, and it will only be able to reach Suizhou City tomorrow afternoon." In the meantime, we need to make sure that Suizhou City is not lost. ”

"The female soldiers of the robber and women's camp are not as simple as everyone thinks, they are the relatives of the thief's wife, Mrs. Gao, and they are all not afraid of death. Although they are all girls, they can't be taken lightly. If the gutter capsizes, you old men won't live. ”

Stopping the noise of his subordinates, Shen Yongzhong decided to divide the northern camp of the city into two, and moved 1,200 people to the east gate of Suizhou City to prevent the "healthy women's battalion" from raiding and looting the city, and the northern camp of the city only left 800 people to guard the 600 prisoners to bluff.

Because he was worried that the people in Beicheng would see the flaws, Shen Yongzhong decided to move the camp overnight.

Around the third watch, Shen Yongzhong led 1,200 horsemen to quietly move to the east of the city, thinking that all the people were unaware.

Whoosh - whoosh -

In the silent night, no one thought that as soon as the army set off, the sound of the bowstring flicking and the sound of arrows cutting through the void were intertwined.

In the darkness, an overwhelming array of arrows suddenly appeared, all of which were strong bows and crossbows. And the shooting skills were accurate, and in just the first wave of blows, more than 400 of Shen Yongzhong's forwards were shot off horseback.

Shen Yongzhong is not very old, but he is also a young general who has experienced a hundred battles, and he can be regarded as not chaotic in danger.

And he was not so bold that he jumped on his horse and stood up and shouted: "Don't panic, this is the enemy stealing the camp." Extinguish all the torches immediately and fight back on the spot!"

Whoa, whoa, whoa—

Just before all the torches were extinguished, three terrible howls resounded through the night sky.

"Oh no, it's a six-stone bow!"

This is the last consciousness left in Shen Yongzhong's brain after being hit by an arrow in his forehead, throat, and chest at the same time and falling off his horse.
