Chapter 170: Infiltrating the Enemy Camp
There is a brazier in the middle of the hall of Wenshui County, surrounded by people, Li Zicheng looked around with a solemn face, except for Tian Jianxiu and Gao Guiying in Xi'an, Liu Fangliang took the east road, and almost all the generals under him were gathered.
He has a large number of factions under the mountain, and it can be seen from the position where he sits, Li Guo on the left, Zhang Nai (Li Shuangxi) Gao Yigong, Li Laiheng, Liu Zongmin on the right, Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi, Ma Shiyao, in addition to Liu Tichun, Ren Jirong, Ma Chongxi, etc.
Sitting beside him were his four great protector military divisions, Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, and Gu Junen.
Those who can enter the county government are his descendants or old camp brothers, as for the kind of halfway general, there is no chance to participate, even if Chen Yongfu, who shot him blind and finally surrendered to be named Wenshui Bo, he was only outside to inspect Wenshui City, which is the same as his title, at this time, as for the other Ming rebel generals, they were even more branched out in the outermost periphery.
The wind and rain were smooth all the way, and the thieves were a little floating, but yesterday they were hit head-on, and the Ming army actually established a defense line about 100 miles long, starting from Jiaocheng in the west and reaching Qi County in the east, sniping at a small group of people and horses who broke into the army, and even killed Wenshui and the vanguard troops yesterday afternoon, and then withdrew.
It's unusual.
"Last night, our army clashed with officers and soldiers at least three or four times, but they were all on the scale of a few hundred, ten miles north of Wenshui," Niu Jinxing said softly.
"Zhou Yuji is indeed a hard stubble, but how many days can he last with a lack of soldiers and food?" Liu Zongmin smiled contemptuously.
"Jiaocheng is small, and there is no danger to rely on, what is he going to do?"
Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows.
"It should be to hinder the speed of my march and delay time for arranging the defense of Taiyuan" Song Xiance said: "According to the report from the spies, there are a lot of troops in Jiaocheng, at least more than 30,000."
"Huh! That means that almost all the troops in Taiyuan have been pulled over, Xiong Tong once said that the troops in Taiyuan are at most 50,000, and Zhou Yuji is willing to pay the capital, so he is not afraid that we will eat his 30,000 horses in Jiaocheng? Hao Shaoqi sneered.
"The 100-mile defense line is so long, he put the main force in front of us, it is to resist us, but we don't want to fight hard with him, it is better to attack the real with a false attack, lure it in front, and beat the main force from the east road, it is reported that there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses over there, and the county town of Qi is even smaller and vulnerable."
Bull Venus proposed.
Everyone looked at Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Zhou Yuji is just bluffing, although he is a hard stubble, but the foundation of the Ming army is empty, the middle is not in the middle of the fight, the army is unstable, the people's hearts are scattered early, there are few people who are willing to fight with him, no matter how hard he is, it is difficult that only one person can resist my hundreds of thousands of troops."
said with a slight pause: "So why take a detour to the east road, run a hundred miles more in plain water, send someone to surrender first, and if you don't succeed in attacking, let's salute first and then soldier, so that he can be convinced." How can you wait? ”
"Feasible," Li Yan nodded
They agreed.
"Who will be sent to bring down to goodness?" Gu Junen asked.
"Naturally, Xiong Tong and Zhang Luran, they are all familiar with each other," Li Zicheng said with a smile
"Zhou Yuji is a toilet pit stone, smelly and hard, it is difficult for him to surrender, you and other departments should be ready, launch an attack at any time, there is no danger to defend the city, it will be defeated with one blow, and it must arrive at the city of Taiyuan within three days."
Wenshui City has become very lively because of the arrival of the thief army, after all, they are the "righteous army" and have a fan base, and the lanterns are a bit exaggerated, but there are really a lot of gongs and drums to celebrate along the street, of course, this does not rule out that it is a water army.
Several propaganda backbones of the thief army, holding the earth-shattering sound of gongs, were loudly propagating the new policies implemented by the rebels along the streets......
However, although the city is lively, it is not worth mentioning compared to the outside of the city, at this time, Wenshui City is full of all kinds of military tents on three sides, as well as refugees who drag their families and mouths, and the water in the siege of Wenshui City is impassable, spreading for several miles, this is a mobile refugee camp, as many as more than 200,000 people.
A few miles south of the city, many tents were concentrated, which was where Li Zicheng's old battalion was located, and was surrounded by cannon fodder on the periphery, forming a natural barrier.
At about ten o'clock in the afternoon, Chang Yu appeared outside Wenshui City, he had always wanted to feel the enemy-occupied area in person, but this time Li Xingzu actually agreed.
The reason is very simple, there are really too many refugees on the periphery of the thief army, so many that it is as crowded as the Spring Festival at the train station, and it is easy to blend in, and he also believes that there are already many officers and soldiers in it at this time, and of course, it is not excluded that there are also many counter-espionage personnel of the thief army lurking in them.
went down the mountain, found a village, spent some silver and a coat to change a few torn clothes, and after dressing up a little, Chang Yu took Li Xingzu and Duan Wuhu to mix in Wenshui with the villagers, and the rest of Chunxin and others waited in the temple.
Zhente is like a fucking temple fair, a few miles away from Wenshui, there are already black and pressed human heads, ragged clothes, vegetable faces, and godless poor people are waiting for soup porridge, which is also the main reason why they are willing to follow the thief army as cannon fodder.
Li Xingzu is not a veteran who pretends to be anything, dressed in rags, holding his arms and bowing his head, and holding a thick bowl in his hand, squeezing around in the crowd, but his eyes have been staring at Chang Yu's movements.
Although Chang Yu's face was also blackened, he was also pretending, but his eyes were like being a thief, looking around, if he was experienced, he could see that this kid was not a serious person at a glance.
There are too many cannon fodder, and most of them drag their families with them, because they come from different places, and they are divided into many small collectives, with the same village and the same city as the unit, so it is not easy to be bullied.
Chang Yu walked around the crowd for a while, and then felt bored, and wanted to approach the barracks, but soon found that it was impossible, there were a large number of soldiers with weapons on duty, and the cannon fodder was forbidden to approach the forbidden area.
Then let's go to the city for a walk, Chang Yu thought in his heart and turned his head and walked towards the south gate of Wenshui.
Just a few steps away, he was suddenly grabbed by someone
"Bow your head" Li Xingzu whispered beside him, and then pulled, and the two sat down in front of a shack, there was a family of five or six in the shack, and they were really drinking porridge at night, and when they saw Chang Yu and the others, their faces showed doubts.
Several thieves armed with weapons walked by the side of the shack, these people are to maintain the law and order of cannon fodder and deter spies, and the reason why Li Xingzu pulled Changyu to avoid it is because of this.
Because Chang Yu's acting skills are too poor, everyone in the cannon fodder has a numb expression, and he looks like he is going to die, only he is like a curious baby, looking at it with big eyes, and it is like going to the lantern party, which is too easy to attract the attention of others.
"Look at it, look at your eyeballs again, believe it or not" Chang Yu looked at the two men in the shack viciously, and threatened in a low voice.
Sure enough, the whole family showed fear, lowered their heads and continued to drink porridge, not daring to speak.
Ordinary people are afraid of villains, and Chang Yu now gives people the impression of being a villain.
"Head, what were you doing over there, wanting to go into the city?" Li Xingzu dragged Chang Yu away, hid to the side and asked in a low voice.
"Well, go see".
"You better don't go, you can't get in at all"
Li Xingzu said and gestured with his eyes, Chang Yu looked up, and saw that the city gate was guarded by soldiers, and refugees were not allowed to enter the city at all.
"What are they doing, why don't they let them in," Chang Yu asked.
"This is the genius of the thief army, every time they take down a city and occupy a place, they have to publicize how they treat the people well, do not disturb the people, do not plunder and kill, etc., only allow the core people to enter the city, and now they are bewitching those people in the city, if they put these cannon fodder in, it will not be chaos immediately.
said in a lower voice: "And this will not be able to ensure that the officials and gentry and rich men in the city are secretly being tortured."
Chang Yu suddenly realized, and looked at the military camp in the distance, there was no way to get close, and the city also entered, Lao Tzu had piled up a wool in this cannon fodder, so it was better to retreat early.
Thinking in his heart, he glanced at Li Xingzu, signaled to retreat, and then walked towards Duan Wuhu, who was a few meters away.
"All dodge, dodge" At this moment, there was a sudden uproar in the crowd, attracting everyone's attention.
Chang Yu stopped and looked up, and a group of people walked out of the barracks and came to the refugee camp, shouting loudly.
