Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Invasion Army Is Frustrated
It is strictly forbidden to hide gold, silver and money in the army, and all the materials looted by any thief must be handed over, and then the superiors will give them different rewards according to the different spoils of war. The division of the spoils of war is also very special, the first class is not jewels, but horses and mules, the second class is bows, arrows, guns, guns and ammunition, the third class is gold and silver goods, and the lowest fourth class is jewels. The desire to survive in war has turned people into the most practical animals. Mules can pull heavy supplies, horses can be used as war horses when they are trained, not to mention the value of ordnance and ammunition, gold and silver are currency in circulation, and everyone knows and is willing to ask for them.
According to Su Feng'er's estimate, if you don't calculate whether to wear armor or not, there should be about 100,000 infantry under Li Zicheng's command. As for the cavalry, there were at least five thousand, if not ten thousand. Of course, the specifics are obviously not clear to Su Feng'er's level.
As a result, the most powerful of the entire anti-thief army was obviously the cavalry under the command of the main general, followed by the armored infantry, and the most important were the lightly armored or unarmored soldiers. Again, it's this kind of exile who is brave. They are not even soldiers, and many times they are a kind of cannon fodder.
Now, these homeless troops stationed at the Liuyuankou ferry are the most inferior.
Before Zhu Cihong came to fight, no one in the anti-thief army would have expected that there were still officers and soldiers who dared to take the initiative to attack. Under such circumstances, it is self-evident what kind of level the thief army that can stay in this kind of cold wind will be.
"Not good...... Dang Shou has always come! Suddenly, when Zhu Cihong listened to Su Feng'er's explanation. Su Feng'er, who was holding the clairvoyant mirror, exclaimed, and hurriedly pointed to the rear of the battlefield, and said with a black flag flying high: "This is the party's guarded soldiers." He is a henchman under Li Zicheng, and he is a general from the old eighth team. There are thousands of leather armor warriors under his command. There are thousands of armored infantry, and at least tens of thousands of soldiers! ”
Zhu Cihong immediately took back the clairvoyant mirror. I took a closer look.
Sure enough, behind a black flag, thousands of armored knights suddenly appeared. These knights rode their horses and controlled their horses slowly, and there was a sense of rhythm that Zhu Cihong was familiar with in their actions.
Zhu Cihong pondered it slightly and then recalled, this is the feeling of a real army. And this sense of rhythm is the feeling of being able to keep the military formation unchanged during the march of the army. This means that this is a well-trained army.
Meantime. This cavalry is also clearly a battle-hardened veteran. They entered the battlefield without panic, they moved freely, and they gave orders to march. It's as if the battlefield is their familiar home.
Zhu Cihong understands that this is the temperament of a veteran. This kind of temperament has been seen by Zhu Cihong in the personal guards around Lao Seventeen.
In addition to a thousand cavalry, there were an unknown number of thousands of infantry and many more, at least tens of thousands of displaced people who had been carried by them.
Suddenly, when Zhu Cihong moved the clairvoyant mirror, he suddenly saw a beautiful scenery dressed in red in the field of vision.
Here we are. Only then did Zhu Cihong put away the clairvoyant mirror and said with a smile: "It seems that not only the party is shousu, but also an old friend." Su Feng'er, what kind of person is the red lady? If I give you a chance, do you want to go back? ”
Listen to Zhu Cihong say this. Su Feng'er suddenly trembled.
"Slave...... Slave ......" Su Feng'er opened her mouth and didn't know how to reply.
Zhu Cihong said softly: "It's okay to be blunt." Women have been in the army since ancient times. Mulan served the country in the army. The red lady is righteous, as far as women are concerned. At least the sons and daughters of heroes. Why, where did Su Feng'er go? Dr. Hu Bo was about to refuse to accept it. Su Feng'er, you dare to say that, this official is quite appreciative. ”
Hearing Zhu Cihong look at the woman so highly, Su Feng'er suddenly looked sideways, and plucked up the courage to say, "Red lady...... He's a miserable man. The uprising was originally coveted by the big officials because of the woman's identity, so she had to kill the officials and rebel. In the end, gather the sisters who are generally miserable and survive in this troubled world. If there is any other so-called heroism, there is no ...... It's just that in this world, where is there a way for people who are miserable to live. It was the adults who gave the slave a chance, although it was a little betrayal, but the slave didn't want to ...... I don't want to go back to the troubled times and rebel against the army! ”
"Troubled times...... Everyone wants to find a paradise free from war. Zhu Cihong chuckled and said, "Don't worry, in our army, unless my sons and daughters are dead." Otherwise, you will not be insulted. Of course, it also includes the people of the Ming Dynasty behind us. ”
When Zhu Cihong finished sighing, he saw Su Feng'er looking at him directly, her eyes watery, as if she would cry at any time.
Seeing this, Zhu Cihong said softly again: "Letting you go to the red lady is not to abandon you." But...... I hope that more people will be rescued because of your arrival. Not only do I hope that you will be able to come back then, but I also hope that you can bring more people out of this troubled world. Deliverance because of you...... How's that, would you like to go? ”
"Slave...... I...... Willing to go! ”
……
Rumble......
Rumble......
Rumble......
"Damn, why did this officer suddenly become so hard to fight?" Another artillery fire came again, and the party guard's face was iron-blue.
The battle ahead was not fierce.
At the beginning, the infantry who did not know the strength of the official army rushed for a while, but they were beaten out by the third-stage fire guns of the official army, and a row of hundreds of people fell, and almost a mutiny came on the spot. It was still the party that sent another thousand people to rush forward, and fought for a while with the officers and pikemen who were close together, breaking two openings, and then he regained his face and hurriedly retreated.
If you don't retreat, you can't succeed, the firecrackers of the official army loaded flint gunpowder quite quickly, and if they fall well, they will not retreat, and the firecrackers will come up again. When the time comes, if you fall down another row of party guards, you will cry in pain.
As a result, the strong soldiers under the command of the party guard were so powerful that they could only fight for a while before they had to retreat.
The burst here is obviously a charge.
Thinking of this, Dang Shousu couldn't help but scold angrily: Waste!
Liu Tuotian's soldiers were indeed waste, and they were beaten down by a charge from the other side when they were halfway crossed. However, this not only shows that Liu Tuotian's soldiers are wasted, but also shows that the soldiers of the official army are indeed powerful.
Now that the soldiers of the officers and troops have lined up in formation, the party defenders, who know that the officers and troops are powerful, no longer dare to attack rashly.
But if he didn't attack and let the officers and soldiers gain a firm foothold at the ferry, the party was extremely unwilling, and he didn't dare to imagine it.
"Why did the soldiers of the officers and soldiers suddenly change so much?" Dang Shousu muttered to himself.
On the side, the red lady came to the side of the party shousu at some point, and said, "General the party." The most powerful soldier of this official army is that the fire is sharp, which is different from other officers and soldiers. Now, we can't occupy the ferry, so let's not fight yet. The soldiers marched all the way, and their strength was also a little lacking. (To be continued......)
