Chapter 532: Chasing After
Niu Jinxing hated others to call him a short man the most, and he hated Liu Zongmin so much, but he couldn't show it, but he grinned: "Our army has been fighting and sweeping all the provinces in the Central Plains for days, although the morale is high, but the people are tired, and now we want to point the knife at the Beijing Division, just take the opportunity to rest and make full preparations, and at the same time take the opportunity to reduce the burden, otherwise I am afraid that we will be exhausted to death before we reach the Beijing Division."
"Are you talking about the and the soldiers again?" Liu Zongmin's face suddenly became fierce: "According to the forehead, all of them were killed...... Huh! ”
"Ruhou laughed, if you can kill it, you will have killed it a long time ago, but our previous efforts will be in vain, otherwise how can we enter Beijing "according to the people's wishes", right? Niu Jinxing smiled: "Of course, killing must be killed, but we can't be allowed to kill, but to kill the officers and soldiers, which can stimulate the hatred of the people for the imperial court, and at the same time, it can also help us attack the city and seize the land, and we can take the opportunity to consume these cumbersome ......"
"You know all this bullshit, what do you say, what does this have to do with attacking Baoding City?" Liu Zongmin interrupted him.
"Of course there is, our army has come all the way to the west and north, and the reason why it is more and more is because there is no war, no resistance can not be consumed, it is rare to encounter a powerful city like Baoding Mansion, how can such a good opportunity be missed, the reason why the Lord waited a few more days is to prepare for the defenders in the city."
"I've been waiting for a few days, but those officers and soldiers can't shrink back, obviously waiting for us to do it first, and it's very likely that after waiting for a few days, the other party will also surrender the city, isn't it in vain."
"How can it, if Baoding City really takes the initiative to surrender, then we will rest the army and horses in the past few days, so we have to continue to go north to find another opportunity, so that the Ming Court can let us swagger to the root of the imperial city, and besides, it is possible for Baoding to surrender before today, but it is absolutely impossible after today."
"Why?" Liu Zongmin was puzzled.
"Since the little eunuch is here, how can they surrender easily!" Niu Jinxing seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and the people in the tent instantly understood, and Liu Zongmin finally came to his senses.
"Since we are here, then let's let the horses rest, and at the same time use cannon fodder to slowly grind Baoding City, and wait for the city to be ruined and cumbersome, and be relaxed, whether it is to continue to go north or return to Xi'an, it is all Lili Suosuo."
The generals in the tent all looked relaxed, didn't they think that the city would not be broken, and they were not afraid that the rout of Taiyuan would be staged again?
It's impossible, Li Zicheng didn't believe that there would be such a possibility when he was killed!
Taiyuan was defeated, and he analyzed the reasons afterwards, first, the officers and soldiers were beaten by the little eunuchs from the beginning to give full play to their home advantage, and they were always passive. Second, the city of Taiyuan has thick walls, sufficient firepower, troops, food and grass, and the people's cohesion. Third, the tactics of the little eunuch are too treacherous.
But now it is different, the entire Central Plains is occupied by him, and a radius of several hundred miles is full of the sphere of influence of the thief army, but Baoding is a lonely city, and according to the previous spy investigation, there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city.
Now he is anti-guest, if the little eunuch comes to the rescue, he will have to run thousands of miles into his own territory, so that he has a home advantage, and the officers and soldiers have been detected, about 30,000 horses and horses around the west are blocked in Dingzhou City, and several Ming troops are gathered in Dezhou, because the front Hejian Mansion is occupied by the thief army, these Ming troops are stagnant and do not dare to take a step forward.
That is to say, within a radius of several hundred miles, in addition to the 30,000 horses of Zhou Yuji outside Dingzhou City, there are no reinforcements in Baoding City.
On the other hand, his main force of 60,000 or 70,000 troops and tens of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder, what did the little eunuch take to fight him, and the battle of Taiyuan could still rely on the city to capture the enemy, what did he rely on now, just the tens of thousands of horses around him?
No matter how you calculate yourself, you have a situation of winning and not losing, recuperating, consuming cannon fodder, streamlining troops, saving rations, taking the opportunity to attack cities and plundering land, and getting more in one fell swoop is the correct way for the righteous army to open.
When Li Zicheng and his generals were herding horses on the banks of the Qingshui River, thinking about good things, Chang Yu had already led two battalions of men and horses fifty miles northeast of Baoding City.
In the middle of the afternoon, the sun is shining, the grass is green, and a spring returns to the earth.
"Governor, ten miles ahead is Rongcheng" to report to Malai, but Chang Yu was dumbfounded, and he didn't see the shadow of a city for a long time, until Wuli Xu was stunned, Rongcheng was so small.
Erli Stone City, low and decadent, there are two gates in the north and south, dozens of heads are hung outside the door, the face is hideous and the blood stains are not dry, the guards on the city see the people and horses in the distance, a greeting, several white men rush to the city wall, and then the south gate is wide open, and Wu Zhong galloped out to Chang Yu in front of the horse.
"Overseer, it's a blessing not to be dishonored!" Wu Zhong couldn't hide his joy, and when he saw Tu Yuan beside him, he smiled: "What's wrong?" ”
Moreover, Tu Yuan rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Chang Yu entered the city side by side with him, and saw that there were only 100 households in the city, the low walls and fences were broken, and the houses were all depressed, and nearly 100 people in the corners of the streets and alleys looked at them with panic.
"Is there an attack?" Chang Yu dismounted in front of a large house in the city, it is said that this is a big family in the city, more than 30 members of the whole family were slaughtered by thieves, occupied by thieves, and Wu Zhong slaughtered a fine light after entering the city.
"Qiu is not guilty" Wu Zhong snorted coldly, squinting his eyes: "If anyone dares to disobey the military order, Lao Tzu will not chop him into meat paste" Seeing that Tu Yuan wanted to laugh, he approached and said: "Laugh and beg, but most of your subordinates are thieves, you are not afraid that they will not change their thief heart."
Tu Yuan pouted: "Lao Tzu won't chop him into meat puree, but he will slice them into meat slices!" ”
"You two are less of a calf there, get something to eat" Seeing that it was getting close to noon, Chang Yu ordered to rest, and most of the soldiers brought their own dry food, but fortunately, the big family was well-equipped, so they immediately lit a fire and burned some hot water to drink.
Chang Yu walked around the house, there was blood everywhere, and he found a clean house and invited everyone to sit down, and asked Wu Zhong in detail how to take Rongcheng.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhong is more legendary than Tu Yuan, there are thirty-four thieves in Rongcheng, and in the early hours of the morning, it is the most sleepy and coldest time, only two sentry people are dozing off in the city, and they simply find that there is a group of people approaching.
With more bullying and less damage to prestige, Wu Zhong turned out to be just close to the city, climbing up the city along the crack in the wall, and the two sentry sentry were stunned by him in a daze, and then jumped down, and the two thieves in the door hole were cut down by him before they could react, and then opened the city gate, and the black wolf camp entered the city, looking for the thieves' den entrenched in the big family......
"So this Rongcheng was taken by you alone?" Chang Yu was stunned.
Hmph, Wu Zhong looked arrogant: "What is this, I want to be Lao Tzu back then, no, no, no, I want to enter the cottage at night when I was humble and wandering the rivers and lakes, and I will level forty Kou ...... with one sword"
"I'll just say, that person is you, you are the Sword Saint ......" Jiang Fa exclaimed, his face excited.
"He is a sword saint? Niu Sheng is almost "Chang Yu pouted, everyone was puzzled, what is Niu Sheng?
Bragging.
Everyone laughed, Wu Hong pretended not to hear, closed her eyes and shook her head.
After a commotion, everyone asked where to go, it would not be stationed in this small stone city, food and grass were scarce, and there was no danger to defend If it was surrounded by thieves, it was very bad.
"Go south, run a long distance" Chang Yu took out the map and spread it on the table, at that point in Texas, everyone was stunned, more than 500 miles between the two places, what to do there.
"Have you heard of Texas Grilled Chicken, take you to taste it" Chang Yu smiled.
Eating chicken? Tu Yuan and Li Tiezhu were confused, but Jiang Fa and Wu Zhong were at a loss, but Jiang Fa and Wu Zhong's eyes lit up, and they looked at each other and smiled: "There are three treasures in Texas, grilled chicken, watermelon, and golden silk dates."
"Look, you two foodies should have been to Texas," Chang Yu smiled.
"Passing by many years ago" Jiang Fa couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Texas grilled chicken has a history of hundreds of years, and there are many stores in the city, but Xu Ji and Jia Ji are the most ......famous."
As he was saying, a scout rushed to the scene: "Overseer, the enemy has been found ten miles southwest."
Everyone was shocked.
It's quite fast, Chang Yu looked murderous: "How many centaurs?" ”
"More than 1,000 ......"
Hahaha, Tu Yuan couldn't help laughing: "The army is quite afraid of him, him!" ”
"yes, him!" Wu Zhong and the others also asked for battle, after all, they tossed for a night, and only touched a few small shrimps, which was really not fun.
