Accompanying the capital of Nanjing, on the official road from Chizhou Mansion to Anqing Mansion under its jurisdiction, there is a horrible food transport team walking along.
And this is the grain and grass that the capital Nanjing collected for the Central Plains camp. But speaking of it, with the huge number of people in the Central Plains camp, even in a wealthy place like Nanjing, it is a bit difficult to raise so much military rations.
So this time, thousands of people were recruited, pushing the kind of two-wheeled carts to transport food.
But this time, it is a little different from usual. Among the thousands of small carts, there are still a lot of large carriages. As for why this is the case, there is naturally a mystery.
As for the robbers, after mobilizing the 3,000 horse army, Qingqi went to make a surprise attack.
The place they chose to start was also very good. It was a place called Ping An Town. It was open and there were no shelters, so it was very suitable for the horse army to move.
In this way, if there is any ambush among the officers and army, they can immediately get out and slip away if the situation is not good... And this is where the horse army's advantage lies, come as you want, leave as you want, and fully grasp the initiative on the battlefield.
Moreover, the morale of these three thousand horses is still very high. Because this time is of great importance, Zhang Xianzhong personally summoned them when they were about to set off. Not only did they serve them with good wine and meat, but also let them choose to grab the big camp. The good women who came here, let them spoil them at will!
So these horse soldiers are eating and drinking well, and after adding'good fun', they set off in a refreshing manner.
After arriving at the predetermined location, these horsemen were pleasantly surprised to see that there was a huge food transport team on the official road.
And looking at this continuous grain transport team, the grain transported is definitely very impressive...
And even better, although the grain transport team was also escorted by officers, they counted carefully, and there were only about a thousand Ming army in total, and they were all ordinary officers and soldiers.
Although in the past, the 1,000 Ming Army was considered a large force, but now, how about 1,000 to 3,000? Or the pawn against the Majun
So many gangsters are full of joy!
However, this time the matter is very important, so the leader of the army is Liu Jinzhong, a general under Zhang Xianzhong, and this person is more cautious in his work.
So even though he was happy in his heart, he sent a small group of fine knights everywhere. After making sure that there were no military ambushes or traps around, he excitedly waved his saber and said: "Brothers, give me all of them. Kill these officers and soldiers, all these grains and rice will be ours!"
"kill-"
And when these three thousand horses listened, everyone was excited... Such a light-hearted thing is just a futile achievement!
Even some gangsters are starting to think about it. After making the credit, you can go back and play with women comfortably...
So the next moment, the 3000 horse army, like a whirlwind, pounced on the food transport team!
And on the way to charge, they also shot the bows and arrows in their hands one after another! After all, as an elite horse army, he still has two hands!
What made them happy was that this Ming army was really vulnerable. After seeing a large number of enemies suddenly appeared, they all fled in haste, even the precious food!
"Haha, big things are done!"
The three thousand horses were even more happy when they met. Even among them, many people directly rushed to those big carriages. After all, this is known by thinking about it with their toes. There are more grains and rice in the carriages. If this is If you rush back...
It's just that when they were having a sweet dream, a sudden change suddenly occurred!
I saw that the carriage was suddenly opened by one of their side boards, and then a black hole came out from it!
"Ah? How could this happen?" All of these horse soldiers were dumbfounded. This, this... Is it because they have already calculated that they will come sneak attack, so they prepared this trick
But no matter what these horsemen thought, it was too late to escape at this time... The horsemen recently rushed to the carriage a few steps, almost rushing to die, how can they escape
"Bang bang bang bang—" After a burst of bird blasts sounded, there were at least five hundred horsemen, who were cut down directly! As for the injured, there are even more!
"No! I am in an ambush! Hurry up!" Liu Jinzhong was shocked when he saw it, and even anxiously, even the cuts of the bandit before came out!
"Retreat!" But just as the remaining horse army was wanting to retreat in a mess, suddenly the change revived...
I saw the Ming army who had fled in a hurry just now, this meeting has magically turned back, and everyone has a swarthy bird in their hands, looking at them with a grinning face...
Damn? Why is this so? When Liu Jinzhong saw this scene, he was full of tears!
Is this still the ordinary officers and soldiers just now? This kind of rapid reaction ability, this kind of elite equipment with a single bird, this is clearly the most elite officer...
But no matter how upset Liu Jinzhong was, the crisp sound of bird blasts sounded again, and think about it, the power of a thousand bird blasts firing at once is quite impressive...
As a result, the screams of the rogue screamed again, and there were three or four hundred rogues who were directly committed to the horse!
"This this… "
When Liu Jinzhong saw this scene, his heart was bleeding... Brothers have lost too much!
You must know that many of these horsemen are elites in the Great Western Army. They usually fight grass valleys together during the day (that is, looting the common people, but they use elegant words) and play with women at night... But now
But even so, Liu Jinzhong is still cruel in his heart... Gentleman revenge, it's not too late for ten years! Wait until you escape back to the camp, and then take revenge!
After all, this is also very obvious. They dared to make a surprise attack this time by relying on the advantage of high-speed mobility! So even though he has suffered heavy casualties, he is confident to escape back!
Including the nearly two thousand horses remaining at this time, they all thought so.
But at this moment, suddenly a Ma Jun looked at the front in horror and said: "It's over! It's over! It's over!"
"What's over?" Liu Jinzhong's face showed a hideous look, dare to talk nonsense at this time? You must kill this bastard who shakes your army!
But the next moment, his face also showed a look of horror... I saw that a densely packed horse army appeared on the official road that had just come here, which was still a smooth road! There are at least three to four thousand people!
And more importantly, these horse soldiers wear helmets and pierced armor, and they also have well-made three-eyed guns in their hands. They are obviously the most elite officers...
"It's over, it's over! This time is really over!" This time even Liu Jinzhong saw him, and he was very frustrated! What he could still rely on was that they were all horsemen, but they couldn't even run! But now
Look at the many officers and soldiers in front of you, they are approaching them in an orderly manner, and then look at the many bird-gun soldiers behind them, they are also slowly coming up, this is the rhythm of stuffing them in the middle...
The net of heaven and earth has been formed!
"It's over! This time is really over!" The remaining rogues here are all discouraged and blocked like this. Even if they are the most stray rogues, they are not'flowing' this time. Get up!
But seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers were very happy.
"Haha! Sure enough, I caught a big fish!" Among the officers and cavalry who were forced to come, the two generals were led by the commander of the Xuanjia Army cavalry battalion, deputy Qianhu Cheng Wu, and Xuanfu Town Candidate. Will Zhang Yan.
The two men led nearly two thousand cavalry to carry out this mission, but now...
Although the status of Xuanfu Town Coordinator Zhang Yan is much higher than Cheng Wu’s, but watching the chaotic gangsters, he still said very modestly: "Haha Cheng brothers, this time we are standing together with us. You've done your military merits!"
Even Zhang Yan is still thinking about it. He made up his mind last time that he will fight side by side with the Xuanjia Army in the future, and now, as expected, he will have meat with the Xuanjia Army...
But Cheng Wu just smiled faintly when he heard it. For Zhang Yan, this kind of military service may be rare, but for those who follow adults, it is nothing more than normal!
So needless to say, there are a total of 6,000 elite officers and soldiers present, and there are less than 2,000 soldiers who dealt with the robbers. Besides, there are mental arithmetic and unintentional. There is no more suspense!
However, these rogues are all elites after all, and they also know that the countless crimes they have committed are probably unforgivable! So it's all fighting to the death! But even so, what use can it do
After half an hour of "slaughter" on one side, all the stray bandits were all put to death! No one is allowed to surrender!
In other words, there are only a few hundred war horses that can surrender. After all, these rogues are guilty. These war horses are innocent, and they are all very good horses, just to supplement the cavalry's mounts...
Including Zhang Xianzhong's powerful general Liu Jinzhong, who was also fighting to the end. Zhang Yan, a member of Xuanfu Town, personally went into battle and slashed the horse!
And seeing such a victory, Zhang Yan smiled and squinted... This is a rare victory!
After all, this wiped out a whole 3,000 horse army! You must know that for Zhang Xianzhong and the others, the 3,000 horse army that was wiped out was more distressing than the killing of 100,000 hungry people!
After all, the kind of hungry people are easy to come by in the late Ming era, and they are very cheap, but such elite horsemen are selected after several years, and they are the basis for him to move around! But now
So naturally, it goes without saying that Cheng Wu and Zhang Yan returned to the camp with the power of victory.
But after he came back, Lu Xiangsheng learned the news, it was very happy... Haha, this time the victory was just a game back!
Not only annihilated the 3000 horsemen! Even Liu Jinzhong, a general under Zhang Xianzhong, was beheaded on the spot. It can be said that Zhang Xianzhong's arm was broken!
Of course, now Lu Xiangsheng's appetite is also high. If it were at the beginning, such a big victory would be enough to write a report for the victory!
But now, I feel that at least the leader of the gangster will be captured, or the gangster who is registered in the Ministry of War, is eligible to report victory...
But even so, Lu Xiangsheng was already very happy. After all, this time thwarted the conspiracy of the bandits and saved the precious food. With the strength of both sides declining, the confidence of the big decisive battle has increased even more.
Even the entire Central Plains camp was rejoiced after learning this good news... This is a bright future!
After digesting the news of this victory, Lu Xiangsheng looked at his soldiers and had enough resources to plan another big decisive battle.
So in the morning of the next day, Lu Xiangsheng was promoted again and called the generals for discussion.
"Everyone, this time our army has won another great victory. It is gratifying, and now there is sufficient food and grass, and morale is high. The Governor followed the idea and offered Cao and the two thieves launched another war. What do you think?" Wait until all the generals have arrived. After that, Lu Xiangsheng asked.
"Good!" All the generals nodded their heads when they heard it. After all, if you play now, it will be easier to win with the power of just a big victory!
In addition, Lu Xiangsheng also provided an important piece of information, which made the generals rejoice...
That is, there are still nearly 20,000 Ming troops, and they have laid a larger encirclement on the periphery to cooperate with them in the fight!
Because this is also very obvious, the basic pace of this kind of Central Plains war (including the northwest frontier under the command of Shaanxi's trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, and the northwest battlefield where Li Zicheng is dueling), that is, four corners and six corners, ten sides of the net!
That is to say, to cooperate with the Central Plains and the Northwestern Wars, there are 10 governors who specialize in fighting! Change the previous combat method of sweeping the snow in front of you!
Specifically, Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Jiangbei are the Sizhengs. These four governors are mainly suppressing, supplemented by prevention.
With Yansui, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and Sichuan as the six corners, these six governors used defense as the mainstay, supplemented by suppression. In this way, four positive six corners and a ten-sided net were formed!
The prime minister Lu Xiangsheng and the governor Hong Chengchou are two sharp knives, dedicated to follow the direction of the thieves and kill them all!
As for the Central Plains War, there were Henan governor Chang Daoli, Huguang governor Yu Yinggui, Shandong governor Yan Jizu, Jiangnan Anqing governor Zhang Guowei, and the four governors to cooperate in this battle.
But just because the two fishes Xian Cao Two Thieves are too big, they are both big sharks, so the four governors can only slowly open their nets outside, but they can't end up fighting!
But now, with the matching opponents of Zhongyuan Xingying, the nets they laid outside can gradually tighten, so the situation is even more favorable for Zhongyuan Xingying.
And in this way, the generals are rejoicing! Finally, after such a discussion, the tone of a decisive battle was officially set again!
In addition, Lu Xiangsheng and the generals researched the tactics of the gangsters against Shangji before, and made bold adjustments. If the gangsters come to this trick again, hum... (End of this chapter)
