PS: It's the end of the month soon, do you still have a monthly pass?

"Doge! My Ningxia Zhenzheng Barracks has captured Wulichuan Town! Killed hundreds of thieves, captured six Hongyi cannons, and more than 200 mules and horses! ”

Under Sun Chuanting's repeated attacks at the expense of blood, several fortifications built in advance by Zhang Nai and Luo Hu were broken through one by one, and even Wulichuan Town was broken by the Ningxia General Military Officer Fumin.

At the cost of more than 2,000 casualties, the banner of the Ningxia Zhenzheng Barracks appeared in the tallest builder in Wulichuan Town, and it looked very strange against the backdrop of rain and fireworks.

The soldiers of Ningxia town went from house to house smashing open doors, trying to find belongings, food, clothing, and even firewood and grass to light a fire and keep warm from the houses, all of which were their goal. As for those women, they are their preferred targets. However, after fighting for so long, the residents of Wulichuan Town have long fled without a trace.

Ningxia Town's chief military officer Fu Min did not have to go to the houses to loot, he looked at the six Zhang Nai captured by his soldiers too late to take away, or the Hongyi cannon that was abandoned because it was too cumbersome, and quite proudly hugged his fist towards Sun Chuanting, who galloped on horseback, and told the governor about his achievements.

Breaking through the town of Wulichuan, where the thieves were entrenched, capturing cannons, beheading hundreds, and more than 200 mules and horses, this is also a truly remarkable feats in the eyes of the Ming army.

Sun Chuanting also nodded with satisfaction, Luo Hu and Zhang Nai set up five blocking positions on more than ten miles of mountain roads along the way, and they were broken by him one by one, which is enough to prove the results of his training!

"As long as I can return to Shaanxi and give me another half a year, I will definitely be able to train a hundred battles for Daming! By that time, there was the Nanyue Army in the southeast. There are my Qin soldiers in the northwest. He is the world's armor with ships, guns, and infantry, and I am proud of the sea with my horses, swords, and guns, and I have sufficient money and food, so why worry about the uncertainties of the world? ”

"Where is the thief now?"

According to the confession of the captured thieves, their leaders Zhang Nai and Luo Hu are both adopted sons of the thieves Li Zicheng, and they are now leading the remnants of the thieves to flee in the direction of Shuanghuai Tree and Tiesuo Pass. Try to continue to resist the official army! ”

Zhang Nai and Luo Hu have already rebuilt two fortifications in Shuanghuaishu and Shishiping, preparing to continue to fight against Sun Chuanting here.

Looking at the autumn rain that never seemed to stop, Zhang Nai was a little annoyed: "This damn rain! How good it would be to get down early! If it rains in spring, Henan doesn't know how many fewer people will die and how much more grain can be harvested! This autumn rain fell on Henan and Shaanxi provinces, which had been dry for many years, and caught both the warring Ming army and the righteous army off guard. A variety of long-range weapons, from bows and arrows to firearms to cannons. None of them can be used properly, so people can only drop these weapons and pick up those swords, guns, whips, axes, and swords that will not be affected by the weather and cannot perform to slash and smash.

Not only affected the use of weapons, but also affected the speed of the troops, Sun Chuanting constantly shouted and scolded the generals of his subordinates for cowering, and kept beating the generals of the garrison and guerrilla positions with military sticks, and pushed the generals out of the army to behead. The reason is that these people's troops are moving too slowly, too slowly, when attacking forward! Give the thieves a respite. So that the thieves were constantly able to repair the fortifications and treat the wounded. Let his march of more than 100,000 horses gradually get longer and longer. The striker and his supervising Chinese army were already stationed in Wulichuan Town, while the soldiers and horses of Shaanxi Town, which was commanded by Gao Jie, who served as the rearguard, were still walking slowly and difficult in the rain dozens of miles away from Wulichuan Town.

However, nature is equal. This rain not only caused great trouble to Sun Chuanting, but also caused huge trouble to the men and horses of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, who were surrounded on three sides. The road was muddy and slippery, and men and horses had to fight with the mud under their feet every step forward. The soldiers said that they simply took off their shoes and walked barefoot in the mud, but the horses still had to trek through the muddy water. The cavalrymen got off their horses, stroked the wet manes on the necks of their silent comrades, grabbed a handful of salted fried black beans from their mattresses, and fed them to the horses to comfort it and increase its physical strength.

In Shishiping, the fourth messenger who came to convey the military order was Wu Ruyi, the commander of the Chinese army of Li Zicheng.

"Angkor, needless to say, how long will it take for the Generalissimo's brigade to arrive? How long will it take, Brother Naizi and I will fight with Sun Deaf here! Luo Hu, who had already killed the character, was full of pride, carrying a sword in his hand, commanding the auxiliary soldiers in the battalion to supervise thousands of captured Ming officers and soldiers, busy picking up soil and stones, cutting down trees, and building fortifications.

"That's right! Just now, Xiaohuzi was still telling me that this place is called Lion Ping, and his tiger is going to bite Sun Chuanting, the old dog, to death in this Lion Ping! ”

"For the generals, they are most afraid of committing the name of the place, Huzi, this place is against you, are you not afraid?" Wu Ruyi is also a little beggar picked up by the old king Gao Yingxiang from the ranks of the homeless people, although he was never born in the boy scout camp, but he is also a generation of people who grew up with Luo Hu, Zhang Nai and others.

"Don't be afraid! If we hadn't followed King Chuang, we would have died a long time ago and become meat in other people's mouths, but I'm afraid that we would have become a bubble of dung by now and don't know where to throw it! After living for so long, I have earned it a long time ago! Luo Hu didn't care.

In a forest behind him, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion were lining up to eat in front of more than a dozen cooking trucks with huge copper bowls in their hands. On the cooking cart, which could feed two or three hundred people at the same time, two huge twenty-four seal pots were tumbling and boiling with soup, and large pieces of horse meat were rolled to the surface from time to time by the bubbles raised by the flames at the bottom of the pot, floating and sinking.

The soldiers ate steamed buns, hot and meaty, almost the size of the soles of an adult man's feet, in the hot horse broth, which gave them enough physical strength to keep them alive and continue to fight.

The configuration of these cooking trucks is also one of Luo Hu's gains in Shandong. For these vehicles that can burn coal and chop firewood to make food and soup for the soldiers, Luo Hu has deeply realized the benefits when he is dealing with Abatai in Shandong, no matter how far he walks, as long as he can stay for more than an hour, he can provide hot water and hot soup for the soldiers, so that everyone can eat comfortably and recover and maintain physical strength.

Now. Among the hundreds of thousands of rebels, only he and Wang Long were able to equip all of them with cooking trucks according to the system, and most of the remaining battalions and outposts were only a few decorative equipment for the commanders and generals.

When he retreated along the way, he consciously set fire to the firewood and grass, which was the houses along the way, and it was also a fire that first solved the fuel problem for heating and cooking for the Ming army, as for a few wells. Even more honestly and unceremoniously threw in a few corpses of the Ming army, so that the Ming army who occupied here had no firewood and grass to heat and cook, no clean water to drink, constantly consuming their sharpness and constantly consuming their physical strength!

There was no place to rest, no firewood to keep warm, nothing to eat, and no place to loot and kill. On the contrary, there are corpses and colored numbers constantly being carried down in front. It made the morale and fighting spirit of all units of the Ming army quickly depressed in this rainy weather.

Seeing the soldiers and horses of various battalions constantly demolishing houses inside and outside Wulichuan Town, and smashing windows, beams, pillars, purlins and other wood to burn the fire for heating and cooking, Sun Chuanting led the generals of each town to inspect but it was not easy to stop. If he gave the order to stop it, those soldiers glared: "Master Inspector, you told us to fight and fight desperately, so we don't blink our eyes, but why do you have to give a bite of this hot rice?" You have to warm up your brothers, right? "If anyone uses such words against him, will it not break his prestige? Just turn a blind eye!

"Send an order to the rear army to bring up the cannons of the car battalion! Those gunpowder shells need to be brought in more! "Sun Chuanting ordered the adjutant general of the Chinese army. Go to the camp and give orders.

Because it was too cumbersome, the artillery of the car battalion was still far behind. The gunpowder shells were transported in the baggage camp.

The Ming troops in the towns along the way had enough of Luo Hu and Zhang Nai's artillery, and they all asked to mobilize the artillery of the car battalion to bombard the blocking positions of the thieves, and also let them taste the power of our artillery. Because of the difficulty of transportation, Zhang Nai's artillery battalion gave up more than 20 large and small artillery pieces before and after, and the gun mounts and gun bodies of these guns were intact, and even the measuring rulers and other things for ranging measurement were also readily available. However, not a single speck of gunpowder was left!

Therefore, the adjutant general of the Central Army personally went to the baggage battalion and the car battalion to dispatch artillery and gunpowder shells.

However, the two staff officers who were in charge of the baggage and artillery were spread out with their hands spread out, and their faces were full of sadness.

"Your Excellency. In such weather, on such roads, gunpowder shells and artillery are heavy objects, how can you walk fast? ”

"That Lao Tzu doesn't care! Lao Tzu just tells you the military orders of the Inspector! If you miss the matter of the Overseer, hum! He is waiting for you to go down and drink with him! "The deputy general of the superintendent is also an arrogant person, and he often uses He Renlong's fate to intimidate the generals of various departments in the Shaanxi army, and he is arrogant.

"My lord, my subordinates don't dare to mistake the matter of the Inspector. However, if you want to arrive on time, this little bit of people's horses and mules in the hands of your subordinates is absolutely not enough. Unless, unless it's ......"

"Unless it's what?" The adjutant general's eyes widened, and he looked like he was about to kill.

Behind his subordinates are the subordinates of Gao Jie, the chief soldier of Shaanxi, who have nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all cavalry. Your Excellency may wish to use the great order of the Governor to transfer them to transport artillery and ammunition with the men at hand with his subordinates. In this way, you can not miss the military order of the Overseer! ”

As he spoke, he was not idle in his hands, and a few gold bars that looked like coals were quietly stuffed into the hands of the deputy general of the army in the superintendent's standard, and the general of the baggage battalion folded a rice ticket with a denomination of a thousand stones into the boots of the deputy general.

"There's some truth to what you're saying, so be it! Then they will come and transport you artillery, and the ammunition will be! ”

However, when the officers under the adjutant general went to the troops behind with Sun Chuanting's order to order them to carry all horses to transport artillery and carry gunpowder shells for the chariot battalion and baggage battalion, they stabbed the hornet's nest!

The march of the Che Camp and the Baggage Battalion was followed by the old department of the He Ren Longhe madman who was killed by Sun Chuanting's marching method that day, and now the one who commands these more than 3,000 people is his nephew He Guoxian and He Guoying.

With a disdain and sneer on his face, he could hear that the Qian general who came to give the order finished the military order with his chest folded, He Guoying asked with a sneer: "It's that simple?" So we all went from cavalry to coolies and people? ”

"What are you going to do with Nima?" For the old clan of this group of He madmen, Mr. Qian, who came to give the order, did not take them seriously, and even asked with slanted eyes.

Compared with He Guoying's fiery temper, He Guoxian's character was much calmer, and he replied with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to work your big car to come, you just need to find a dog to come here with a big order." When our brothers saw it, they naturally didn't dare to disobey. ”

"You! How dare you curse! It took a long time for Mr. Qian to react, He Guoxian was turning a corner and scolding him for being a dog. Immediately jumped up, pointing at the noses of the two He brothers and was about to attack.

"What about scolding you!"

He Guoying was about to put on the right hand with Mr. Qian, but he saw that a piece of blood on Mr. Qian's chest was getting bigger and bigger. Looking down, blood flowed from the tip of a sword on his chest.

"Sixth, eighth, at this time, don't you still understand?" He Laoqi took out the sword, kicked the Qian Zong to the ground, rubbed the blood of the sword on him, and the twenty good hands he brought had already chopped several of Qian Zong's subordinates into meat puree.

"Donkey balls! Sun Deaf also has today! The road back to Shaanxi could not be opened in front, and the generalissimo and the general's soldiers chased after him. The soldiers and horses are in this kind of Jedi, we can't write two congratulatory words with one pen! Why bother to bury his old grandson here! ”

"Brothers, get on the horse, go and copy the baggage of the old grandson, burn his gunpowder, and avenge the fourth uncle! Follow me if you want to get rich! Follow me who want revenge! ”

In the blink of an eye, more than 3,000 people who were originally going to serve as coolies in the car battalion and baggage battalion suddenly became the impermanence of these two families! A white cloth wrapped around his shoulders. Both the spear and the hilt of the sword are covered with white cloth to distinguish friend from foe.

The eyes of the old department of the more than 3,000 madmen are red! In the past, they followed He Renlong in Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Huguang, and they were the only ones who bullied others everywhere. How can someone else do a good job over them? However, since He Renlong was corrected by Sun Chuanting's army, these proud soldiers and fierce generals in the past have immediately become raised by their stepmothers, and this evil breath is about to come out today!

More than 10,000 horseshoe relatives trampled on the muddy ground and splashed blood, and the corpses of Mr. Qian and a dozen of his subordinates were trampled into a mass of flesh and mud in the blink of an eye.

With a shout, more than 1,000 cavalrymen rushed into the baggage camp under the leadership of He Guoying and He Laoqi. Poor how are the guards of the baggage battalion the opponents of this group of wolf-like guys? After a while, the ghost cried wolf and retreated. There was that smart one, so he followed the soldiers and horses of the He family to loot and burn in the vehicles, and the convoy, which had only stretched for more than ten miles, suddenly appeared in more than ten places in the queue, and quickly turned into a fire dragon. Occasionally, there were a few dull explosions. It was the scene of the powder cart after the undamp gunpowder was ignited.

"Don't burn! Don't smash those artillery! Those are our military exploits! It's all our meeting gift to King Chuang! Push to the side of the road and you're good to go! He Guoxian's mind was not confused, so he just commanded his soldiers to keep lighting the grain and grass on the baggage cart, snatching the military salary, and cutting the tarpaulin and rope on the gunpowder cart. For the artillery of the car battalion, they just put them in the ditches on both sides of the official road. A huge powder keg rolled off the vehicle and rolled across the road, "Quick! Lift the lid off! If the gunpowder is wet, the deaf son will not be able to use it! After the battle, the generalissimo can still use it! ”

"Rebellion! This group of dog thieves of the He family really rebelled! Looking at the soldiers and horses of the He family with white cloth wrapped around their shoulders and shouting left and right in the Ming army, the deputy general of the superintendent cursed dumbfounded, but the scolding did not fall, only felt a cold on his chest, looked down, and saw a sharp thing on his stomach.

"My lord! Excuse me! I am a dead person who burned the heavy grain and grass of the army, and if I kill you to vote for King Li Chuang, I may be able to continue to maintain my fame and wealth! With a wave of the sword in his hand, the general of the baggage battalion cut off the head of the lieutenant general.

"Go! Tell He Guoying, let's also revolt and vote for King Li Chuang! ”

The sound of gunpowder explosions and firelight coming from the direction of the baggage camp were extremely eye-catching in this dark and dark field, and all the Ming officers and soldiers in the Wulichuan Basin looked east almost at the same time. On their way, black smoke rose from the air, mixed with a few orange-red flames. Occasionally, a few explosions were heard in a dull voice, striking people's eardrums and nerves.

"It's over!" Almost all of them have this thought in their minds. There are two hairy young men who are not afraid of death on the front road, and Li Zicheng led more than 100,000 elite horsemen to chase after them fiercely, and the army is in such a weather and is blocked in such a geographical environment, and the time and place are extremely unfavorable to the Ming army!

"Handsome! What should we do? "The adjutant generals, staff generals, guerrillas, and other officers of each town gathered together around the adults of their respective towns to plan their own future and way out. In the distance, you can already see the banner of Li Zicheng's brigade of cavalry appearing at the end of the field of vision!

"Let's go! Let's go east, while Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai have not yet closed the encirclement, let's go out, go to the edge of the Yellow River, cross the Yellow River, and go to Shanxi! Gao Jie, the chief soldier of Shaanxi Town, immediately made his own judgment.

He knew very well that among the various general soldiers here, Niu Chenghu, Zheng Jiadong, Guan Fumin and others could surrender to Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, and he was sure that the treatment of these people would be good after surrendering. However, he could never surrender!

Don't say how many lives and blood he has lost in fighting with the rebels of various ministries over the years, just one thing about him abducting the Xing clan to escape and surrender to the official army back then, his old brothers will turn his mountain harrier into a roast chicken!

Under his leadership, the remnants of the troops in Shaanxi Town rolled up their banners, went to Luanling with horses, drilled out of the gap between the encirclement of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, and fled to the direction of Shanxi!

In Shishiping, Gu Ying, who arrived with five or six thousand new talents, also made a heartfelt voice of admiration in the face of Luo Hu and Zhang Nai.

"You two little ones, you are really good! The generalissimo didn't look at the wrong person! ”

In Gu Ying's opinion, Sun Chuanting was already a turtle in the urn at this time, and there was no reason to escape, but Luo Hu's subordinates were still constantly reinforcing the fortifications and setting up artillery positions, lest Sun Chuanting's dog jump over the wall in a hurry to fight the trapped beast.

"Little Huzi, tell them, don't do it anymore, Old Man Sun can't run away! You see! ”

The ground under his feet trembled faintly, and finally it shook violently, and it seemed that at the same time, black spots faintly appeared on the distant skyline, and in the blink of an eye, it became a dense banner like the sea.

Hundreds of thousands of horses' hooves pounded on the ground, tens of thousands of cavalry galloped wildly, the black pressure was boundless, and the sound of iron hooves shook everyone's hearts faintly.

Looking at the fluttering sea of flags and the boundless war horses, President Sun Chuan sighed, and he suddenly felt as if all the strength of his body had been drained and became like dough.

"Help the adults get on the horse!"

"Guard, good lord!"

"Brothers, get on the horse with me and kill out!"

"Kill it! Cross the Yellow River, go to Shanxi, and return to Beijing! ”

Vaguely, Sun Chuanting could hear the rhythmic shouts of the morale of the soldiers of the Beijing battalion who pretended to be his supervising battalion, and countless defeated soldiers, discarded armor sticks, and vehicles that had turned over to the side of the road flashed in front of him.

Everything was like a dream. (To be continued.) )
