(0680) "You ......"

Huang Degong's subordinates suddenly roared anxiously. 【】

They knew that the White Army would not give up, and that was the case.

It is conceivable what the consequences of Huang Degong falling into the hands of Xu Xingxia will be.

They wanted to launch an attack, rescue Huang Degong, and stay away from Baoding Mansion together, but regrettably found that in front of them, another group of white-clothed cavalry had been replaced. The weapons they used were markedly different from those of the cavalry of the White Coats before them. The muskets in the hands of these white-clothed cavalrymen were not the ones they had seen before.

Having been in battle for a long time, they could clearly sense the great danger brought by the other party. These new, never-before-seen muskets exude a rich lethal aura. If they rush up, what awaits them will be a dead end. No one will doubt the determination of the chasseurs to shoot. As long as they make the slightest move, the chasseurs will definitely shoot. They are not afraid of death, but they also do not want to die in vain. In desperation, they had to wait.

Huang Degong was soon escorted to Xu Xingxia. No matter how brave his personal force was, it was useless on such occasions. Since the advent of firearms, the status of individual force on the battlefield has declined rapidly. Around him, there were at least a few hundred black hole muzzles aimed at him. As long as he pulls the trigger, he will be pierced through hundreds of large holes in his body. Even if he is the reincarnation of Da Luo Jin Immortal, there is no way to survive.

Besides, in front of Old Demon Xu, he couldn't be domineering. As soon as the so-called master makes a move, he will know if there is one. As soon as Xu Xingxia appeared, Huang Degong already felt that the other party was definitely a dangerous person. The bow and arrow behind Xu Xingxia clearly told him that all the legends about Xu Xingxia outside could be true. A figure who can't even be provoked by the Tartar god of arrows, it is better not to provoke him Huang Degong. He believed that Xu Xingxia would not kill him immediately.

Xu Xingxia didn't let Huang Degong loosen his ties, but just watched coldly as Huang Degong was escorted over. It's not that he doesn't want to be a corporal of Lixian, it's that he doesn't feel necessary. If Huang Degong couldn't even stand such a little grievance, he would not be able to achieve anything great. Huang Degong can become the head of the four major military towns in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and he must have some outstanding skills.

"My lord! Huang Degong was arrested. Liu Chuang sent Huang Degong to Xu Xingxia.

Xu Xingxia waved his hand casually, asking Liu Chuang and the others to retreat. He turned over and dismounted, and came to Huang Degong's face, less than three feet away from each other. He said expressionlessly: "Huang Degong, you can tell me now, why did you come here from Liaodong, right?" ”

Huang Degong said bitterly: "Lord Hui, in fact, I was deceived......

It turned out that Huang Degong and his gang came to the mainland completely with the general trend. After the defeat of the Ming army in Liaodong, the entire battlefield in Liaodong was in chaos. In Liaodong, there are Jianyu who are wreaking havoc, and they can't beat them. In Guannai, there are also the northern and southern courts vying for power and profit, and there is also Xu Xingxia, a traitor. People's minds change, and people's hearts are panicked. As a result, part of the Ming army, under whose leadership, did not know who it was, decided to leave Liaodong and return to the interior of Gyeonggi.

As a small commander-in-chief, Huang Degong basically has no decision-making power in military operations. Above him, there are also big figures such as Qianzong, garrison, guerrilla general, staff general, deputy chief military officer, chief military officer, not to mention the governor of Liaodong, Liaodong Jingluo, Jiliao Governor and other behemoths. Since his superiors said that he wanted to go back to the mainland, he followed back to the mainland in a daze.

They set off from Liaoyang and other places, passed through Dalinghe Fort and other places, walked to Shanhaiguan, and then walked back to the mainland from Shanhaiguan. At that time, the situation was very chaotic, the news and intelligence were almost cut off, and Huang Degong couldn't grasp the situation outside and inside the customs, so he could only follow Mu Ran. After passing through Shanhaiguan, they gradually came into contact with more information.

Originally, Huang Degong thought very simply that the main purpose of their return to Guannai was to recuperate, recuperate, and continue to fight in Liaodong in the future. Huang Degong was originally a person who opened the original guard, and most of the time he fought in Liaodong, and he had a lot of feelings for Liaodong. Without a special reason, he was almost reluctant to leave Liaodong.

As a result, it was not until they reached the vicinity of Gyeonggi that Huang Degong and others woke up, and it turned out that this was not the case at all. They had almost no chance of going back to Liaodong. They were pulled back to resist the White Coats. And the battlefield is Baoding Mansion. Cooperate with them to fight, well, to be precise, it is they who cooperate with the battle, it is the three battalions of the Beijing Division.

When Huang Degong first joined the army, he was a soldier in the Fifth Army Battalion, and later went to Liaodong. Therefore, he still has some understanding of the three major battalions. The three battalions faced off against the white-clothed army in Baoding Mansion, and Huang Degong felt bad at that time. With the combat effectiveness of the three battalions, it is not the opponent of the white-clothed army at all. Leaving the strong walls of Yanjing City, the three major battalions are simply scum.

Sure enough, the subsequent development of the battle was exactly the same as Huang Degong's prediction. Before the reinforcements from Liaodong arrived, the three battalions had already been routed. These people, all of a sudden, lost their goal and didn't know what to do. The high-level commander, when he heard that there was the main cavalry of the white-clothed army nearby, immediately panicked, threw down his troops, and didn't know where to go. The high-level commanders all ran away, and the officers and soldiers below naturally scattered and fled.

Huang Degong and others had no choice but to temporarily settle down in the grass and find a place on Taihang Mountain to store themselves. With him, there were thirty or forty of his subordinates, who were the main backbone of this group of horse thieves. Huang Degong did not plan to be a horse thief for a long time, his purpose was to return to Liaodong and continue to fight against Jianyu.

However, going back to Liaodong like this is almost like sending him to death. Huang Degong thought that he had to find some support. At this time, the only people who could provide support were Xu Xingxia and his white-clothed army. After the white-clothed army conquered the capital, the change of dynasty has become a foregone conclusion, and even if Huang Degong is unwilling, he must admit that the Northern Ming Dynasty has completely disappeared. The current Liaodong can only rely on Xu Xingxia and the white-clothed army.

I overheard that Xu Xingxia was passing by Baoding Mansion, so Huang Degong pondered and led people to attack Baoding Mansion and find an opportunity to meet Xu Xingxia. He knew very well that it was impossible to see Xu Xingxia through normal channels. What is his little boss in the eyes of the white-clothed army? You have to take an unusual path. Of course, there are other purposes for doing so. For example, let Xu Xingxia look at his own skills and feel that he Huang Degong is not a waste.

After Huang Degong finished speaking, he looked at Xu Xingxia and said calmly: "That's all I want to say, believe it or not." I deliberately led people to attack Baoding Mansion just to get your attention. If you think I've offended you, I'm willing to accept the punishment. ”

Xu Xingxia said quietly: "How many weapons and equipment do you need?" ”

Huang Degong said bitterly: "I don't know either. Now the whole of Liaodong should be in chaos, and no one knows the specific situation over there. Shenyang has fallen, Liaoyang has also fallen, and it is estimated that Guangning Mansion will not last long. If Jianyu occupies Quang Ninh Province, it will directly threaten Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan. We must establish a defensive line at Ningyuan to contain the offensive of Jianyu as much as possible and buy time for the mobilization of follow-up troops. ”

Xu Xingxia said lightly: "I can allocate you three thousand muskets,"

In fact, Xu Xingxia didn't pay much attention to Nurhachi and his subordinates. Although it is said that Nurhachi has defeated the Ming army and swept Liaodong, the momentum is quite amazing. However, in front of the white-clothed army, the wild boar skin is still not enough opponent. As long as the white-clothed army dispatches a few elite troops, it is completely possible to defeat the army of wild boar skin.

The biggest problem now is the instability of the rear of the White Army. This rear includes Shanxi, Beizhili, Henan, Shandong and other places. These places were all occupied by the white-clothed army during this time. This area is almost equal to the whole of North China, with a large land area, a large population, and a very complex people's feelings. These areas, not to say that the arrival of the White Army, the establishment of committees, and the implementation of land reform, are equivalent to complete control. It will take another year or two for the White Army to truly master this vast area.

The so-called real control should be that after the White Army leaves, the local people and the local government still accept the leadership of the White Army and resist the infiltration and invasion of other forces. The control gained under the high pressure of the military is not telling. For example, the fact that there are a large number of Jianguo troops raging in the current Liaodong region does not mean that Jianguo has completely controlled Liaodong. All this is just a military occupation. Political, economic, and cultural control is the most important.

For another example, Li Zicheng's rebel army in later generations also arrived in many places, and throughout North China, there are traces of the rebel army led by him. However, he never had a firm grip on a certain place. After the rebels left, these places were still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, when encountering the attack of the Qing army, it will appear very passive. All localities can't provide combat effectiveness to the rebel army, and the people can't help you, can you not be passive? Of course, Xu Xingxia would not make such a low-level mistake.

In Xu Xingxia's view, as long as his rear is consolidated, there is basically no suspense in the battle with Jianyu. The saying that the outside must first be at home is actually very reasonable. In fact, if the Ming Dynasty in later generations had not been involved in too much manpower, material and financial resources by Li Zicheng, it would not have been particularly difficult to deal with Jianyu.
