Tang County of Li Zichengtun's family is not Tang County, Baoding Prefecture, Hebei Province, but belongs to Nanyang Prefecture, which is called Tanghe County in later generations, almost more than 400 miles away from Ruzhou, and Sun Chuanting has also captured Li Yangchun in history, so he sent cavalry to attack for a day and a night, slaughtering tens of thousands of family members of these intruders.

This time, these people fell into the hands of Yuan Chonghuan again.

The frightened shouts filled the whole county, and there were open flames everywhere, and the officers and soldiers who attacked and killed the intruding army guards were holding fire guns, bows and arrows were looking down fiercely on the city walls, and there were officers and soldiers in the streets who were driven by whips, shouting and scolding rudely.

"Go home quickly, find a place to wear it and don't go out on the street, and those who disobey will be killed, you lowly thieves!"

Standing at the head of the city, Liu Yan was full of excitement, and shouted in surprise: "Supervisor! It seems that Li Yangchun is quite honest! That's right, I've got it right!"

But Yuan Chonghuan's eyes kept looking into the city, and he didn't say anything for a while, until more than a dozen cavalrymen hurriedly gathered from all directions, and after kneeling on one knee and shaking their heads one by one, Yuan Chonghuan shook his head with difficulty.

"Hit the mark!"

"What? Could it be that the thieves ambushed the elite soldiers? Or did he raid Wu Fu's old miscellaneous camp! Inspector, shall we quickly kill these thieves and then return to the teacher? ”

Frightened into a cold sweat, Liu Yanwai hurriedly hugged his fists and asked for instructions, but Yuan Chonghuan, who listened, was stunned.

"Don't be rude to Wu Ge Lao!"

However, after scolding, Yuan Chonghuan sighed and shook his head: "The plan is not on the ambush, these family members are Li Chuang's ambushes, his old camp is not here, here are only the families of the various homeless soldiers he recruited and surrendered after entering Henan, he deliberately sent it here for us to kill!"

"Have you heard that the mourning soldiers will win, originally the official army entered Henan, and the sudden attack made Li Chuang's subordinates already a little flustered, let's kill these family members and wear them out, those people in Henan will definitely hate us to the bone, and then we will be the army of revenge, and we will fight to the death!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Chonghuan's face couldn't help but reveal a strong sense of worry.

"This person's poisonous heart not only reduces his logistical burden, but also unites the army's heart, but it is almost 100,000 lives, and he will throw it away! He simply treats human life like a mustard!"

"These thieves!"

It was also a scolding sentence from the same enemy, but then Liu Yanai's face showed embarrassment and unwillingness, and he looked at the trembling family members of the displaced people below, and he asked in shock.

"Inspector, what about these thieves? Just let them go? ”

"Of course you can't put it! In a while, you will take someone to count, press these captives, and march to Nanyang Mansion! Then quickly passed the letter to Lord Wu and asked him to supervise the main force to Nanyang Mansion as well, since he Li Zicheng made a move, the governor continued, just using these family members as bait! Mobilize Li Zicheng's army to attack!"

The simple-minded Huamachi salt worker who heard this was really bright-eyed, and he bowed sharply and said: "The thief is hooked, the superintendent is good at scheming, and the last general will do it?" ”

Nodding silently, watching him leave excitedly, Yuan Chonghuan's face couldn't help but reveal a haze.

Although in this way, Li Zicheng's main force can be transferred from the Kaifeng Xuchang area, and he does not have to risk being dragged down to find Li Zicheng's main force in the vast Zhongzhou, but it also means that he is about to start a decisive battle with Li Zicheng, and the army is known as one million, even if it is exaggerated, when Zhu Xianzhen was fighting, he already had an army of 400,000, and by now, at least six or seven hundred thousand, and in the bloody battles between the army and the official army over the years, he has also experienced a lot of elite soldiers.

Especially the main force of the breaking army, which is simply composed of the Ming army! With such a large number of troops, if it is not necessary, Yuan Chonghuan is really unwilling to fight to the death face to face with it.

"How nice it would be for a few more years! Even if it is delayed until next autumn's harvest! ”

The city gate building under him, in the shouting of fear, tens of thousands of old and weak people were reluctantly driven out, standing on the city gate building, Yuan Chonghuan lamented a fist hammered on the bluestone female wall.

…………

In just a few days, the fortune of the whole world has converged on this small piece of Nanru, and countless troops are moving magnificently on the horizon, either worried or anxious, rushing to the battlefield that is about to unfold. If you look at it from a bird's-eye view of the sky, on the land within a radius of 100 miles, the countless status flower clothing legions are like a huge slap, twisting towards Nanyang City in all directions, and between the slaps, the two red Ming armies are trying their best to lean on one side.

But this time Yuan Chonghuan's plan fell through again, rushing to nearly 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, even if it was his cavalry, it was only a day of marching forty or fifty miles, and the fast horse reported that it arrived in one day and one night.

"Report to the Overseer!"

His voice was dry and hoarse, and he slammed his head on the ground, and the tired Yulin Qianzong Zhao Tiecheng bowed loudly anxiously and with difficulty.

"Advance to military intelligence! When Wu Ge Lao led the main force of the Chinese army to Lushan, he encountered the main force of the thieves, and now he is facing off between Lushan Baofeng, and Ge Lao urgently summoned the superintendent to support quickly!"

Yuan Chonghuan, who heard this, couldn't help but shake his horse heavily, and in an instant, his anger almost rose to the top of his head, Lushan was only two hundred miles away from Ruzhou, and he Wu Fu led the elite of the Qin army, and he actually drove these old and weak women and children he drove away.

If you go out of Luyang Pass early, resist Li Zicheng's army in Nanyang City, and rely on Jiancheng, this battle is still easy to fight, what is there in Lushan? Want the officers and troops who are at an absolute disadvantage in numbers to fight to the death with the Chuang army in the Great Plains?

may emerge on the cusp of this storm, Yuan Chonghuan is not a person who scolds the street after all, since the matter has happened, what is needed is to face it, his face is grim, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly roared at Liu Yan.

"Gather the cavalry at once, and march north at full speed under the banner of the Governor! Meet the elders!"

"Overseer, what about these thieves?"

also had a grim face to the extreme, but Liu Yanwai looked around anxiously, and Yuan Chonghuan, who listened, couldn't help but be stunned and turned around.

Beside him, the old and weak ladies who were dressed in rags and full of horror looked at him with the same fear, looking at the murderous officers and soldiers around him I don't know why, the moment he saw them, Yuan Chonghuan thought of the days when he had just moved to Baima Shou Village.

Those who were next to him were also these poor but zealous people.

"Let them go! It is already our sin to make the world chaotic, if the thieves gather in Lushan today, they are insignificant, and they don't need to kill more!"

"Let's go!"

As he spoke, Yuan Chonghuan had already turned around and shouted loudly at the families of the thieves who were escorted around him.

However, the cruelty and ferocity of the officials and soldiers left too strong an impression, and for a while, the families of those thieves didn't even react, and they were still stunned until Liu Jiewai became angry and flicked the whip angrily.

"The Overseer let you go! Didn't you hear that? Don't get out of here! If you don't roll Lao Tzu anymore, I'll slaughter you all! ”

This is just like waking up from a dream, there was a noise, and the family members of the nearly 100,000 intruding army suddenly scattered, scattered and began to run around, and in a blink of an eye, the huge team fell apart, leaving the Qin cavalry wearing the Daming Fire Red Mandarin Duck Battle Jacket, an old man holding his little grandson who was only a few years old was also hurriedly walking out, but after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered what was like that, turned around, and kowtowed three times in front of Yuan Chonghuan's horse, and then fled in a hurry again.

"The grace of not killing?"

With another complicated sigh, his head turned to the northwest, and through the layers of clouds and mist at dusk, he seemed to see something, and suddenly, he shook off the horsewhip, and Yuan Chonghuan shouted loudly.

"March!"

A flaming red Yuanzi banner swept northward like a flame, and tens of thousands of Qin army knights followed this banner and galloped wildly!

Throwing off the burden, the speed of the march was much faster, regardless of fatigue, that night, Yuan Chonghuan's cavalry once again crossed Luyang Pass and returned to the battlefield of Ruzhou.

The county seat of Lushan was still in the hands of the officials and soldiers, and it seemed that the confrontation had not lasted long, which made Yuan Chonghuan breathe a sigh of relief, and the army entered the city from the south gate, and then he hurriedly climbed the city gate building of the east gate under the guidance of his own soldiers, and asked Wu Fu, a scholar of Dongge University who was standing there and looking.

"What is the situation of the elder Ge, have you ever been in a battle, and the thieves and horses ......?"

Before he finished asking, Yuan Chonghuan also stopped there abruptly, his head turned to the east, his expression also froze, and even showed a look of fear.

On the Pingdingshan remnant opposite Lushan City, it seems to have become a huge firefly nest, spreading from the plain outside Lushan City to the Pingdingshan Mountain in the distance, with a radius of dozens of miles, countless bonfires shining on the ground, like a huge slap, squeezing towards this small Lushan City in all directions.

A real army of millions has gathered here.

Wu Fu was actually stunned, including the general generals below, a few people were silent for more than a long time, and then he swallowed his saliva and hugged Yuan Chonghuan with difficulty.

"Is it an enemy?"

also finally came back to his senses, those fearful colors faded in an instant, and again, Yuan Chonghuan's dark and rigid face was covered with decisiveness and determination, and with a bang, he suddenly pulled out his sword, and pointed it in front of him, pointing directly at the largest banner.
