Chapter 119 Brother, take care!
This Chen Huzi seems to be in his 40s, but according to his own words, he is actually less than 30 years old, and he also speaks a Liaodong dialect. There is a big scar on the left cheek, which seems to be caused by an arrow passing by. Keep.

He is usually dull and taciturn, and rarely speaks a few words, but there is always a cunning and cruel light in his little mouse-like eyes.

Chen Huzi was leaning against the tree at this time, with his eyes slightly open, revealing an imperceptible gap, watching the big monkey next to him torture the sentry of the Qing army.

He saw that Daniel used a small rusty knife to cut off the flesh of the Qing military sentry cavalry piece by piece, and saw that the cut place on the Qing military sentry cavalry was bleeding all over the ground, listening to him wanting to die. howling.

Chen Huzi was out of breath, as if he was too excited to restrain himself.

Here, Niu Sheng was silent after hearing Liu Jinhai's words. Cheng Dashan, who was next to him, took a few steps forward, sat down beside Liu Jinhai, and comforted him:
"When I joined the army, I expected such a result. It would be better for a warrior to die in battle, shrouded in horse leather, than to die in bed..."

After Cheng Dashan said a few words, he also thought of his brother who was lost in the hands of the Qing army, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Seeing this, Niu Sheng at the side didn't want them to mention these sad things, so he said to Liu Jinhai: "Fortunately, I have been sentry for several days, and I have roughly figured out the situation of the Tartars in front;
Today, there are only more than 4000 Tartar soldiers operating in Dingzhou, and they are dominated by Tartars inlaid with white flags, led by the slave head Abatai;

Going to Zhending Mansion, the bandit leader Dorgon led the Tazi soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner, about [-] people, and plundered Xinle, Xingtang, Lingshou and other counties, and there was a great tendency to march into Zhending Mansion ;

There is also a side division, about [-] Tazi soldiers, led by a Baya Latuzhangjing, are heading towards Quyang, Fuping, and Longquan Pass to plunder;

There are still thousands of Tatars scattered in Baoding and Zhending. They range from a few hundred to as many as a thousand. They have been wandering around and plundering various villages;

And the bandit Hauge, with the Tartar soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner, looted around Anping, Raoyang, Wuqiang and other counties, presumably to attack Shenzhou;

This information, after the big monkey has finished interrogating the Tazi soldier, and then confirms it, I can report back and pass it on to Lu Duchen and others to know. "

Here, just after Niu Sheng finished speaking, the big monkey came over.

As he walked, he held a piece of cloth cut from the clothes of the Qing army sentry, and carefully wiped his rusty knife. He wiped it very carefully and seriously, and from time to time he would touch the tip of his nose, Smell it carefully, face the sun, and look carefully to see if there is any bloody smell and residual blood.

When he came to the team officer Niu Sheng, the big monkey stretched out his face, showing a somewhat creepy smile, and said in a broken voice: "Niu Tou, it's done, it's the same as what we investigated, the dead man dare not Telling lies,...hehe..."

At this time, the captured sentry cavalry of the Qing army had been tortured to death by the big monkey. Niu Sheng ordered his head to be chopped off and his armor stripped off, leaving only a bare headless corpse hanging upside down In the woods, it looked extremely strange and terrifying.

When everyone went out this time, the task had been completed. Everyone prepared their belongings and horses. Before leaving, Liu Jinhai stretched out his right hand and said to Niu Sheng: "Niu Tou, it's a great honor to be with you." Brothers in Xuanzhen go out together."

Niu Sheng also stretched out his big hand, holding it together with Liu Jinhai, and he pulled hard again, and the two embraced tightly.

Everyone came over and hugged one by one, Cheng Dashan also came up, hugged Liu Jinhai tightly, and said to each other: "Brother, take care!"

They patted each other's shoulders and laughed loudly, and the hearty laughter spread far away, as if the howling cold wind could not cover up their laughter.

…………

At this time in Dingzhou, a large army is marching along the broad official road. Nearly 2 people and horses are deployed in a marching array, stretching for several miles. A sea of ​​red armor and flags seems to be a sea of ​​red armor and flags. There is no end in sight.

The North China Plain in the early winter was already very cold. Fortunately, the army kept marching, and every soldier's body exuded bursts of heat due to exercise, so that they would not freeze.

Since Zhang Cheng left Gaoyang on the [-]th, he marched for three consecutive days. Because the captives were rampant and looting everywhere, they also kept watch while marching. Today they just passed Boye County and entered the border of Dingzhou.

According to the information obtained earlier, there are about four thousand cavalry in Dingzhou, which is a piece of cake for Zhang Cheng and the others. In Gaoyang, Haoge’s six thousand cavalry will be killed and thrown away. There were more than a thousand corpses, and they fled.

However, it's just that I don't know the specific movements of the other teams of cavalry. Zhang Chengce is walking slowly on the horse. The icy cold wind blows on his face, like a whip, but he doesn't care, thinking in his heart: "I should come back. gone."

At this moment, Zhang Cheng was still thinking about another thing.

He has already started to think about how to develop himself after serving the king this time.

He doesn't want to mess with the battalion system anymore, waiting for the court to pay his living, just come to a grain road, and he can control you to death, so how the hell do you live?

Zhang Cheng secretly made up his mind that he must have his own territory and hold the grain bag in his own hands to be safe.

And with the territory, there will be a young and strong man, who can recruit and select soldiers by himself, or use the land to tie the soldiers firmly to himself. Only in this way can we train elite soldiers and a team of only one Listen to your own strength.

With these, you can show your ambitions and do what you want to do!
For example, in the current army, the generals of the towns, in terms of personal courage, fight alone, and those guards are all strong and agile, and they are proficient in riding and archery.

But the personal guards of the guards only account for a small part of each battalion, plus some old soldiers, the average army is only half of the troops, with some combat strength, if the victory is won, everyone will charge together, but if they lose, it will still be those soldiers. The personal guards of the servants are riding on horses, and the guard will flee first.

And most of those veterans are also equipped with war horses. After all, they are considered the elite of the army, not to mention that after years of fighting, they still have good eyesight. They are often the ones who follow the guards and flee first.

It is the recruits who suffer, they are only at the mercy of others, but the generals will not feel sorry for them, as long as the servants and guards are still there, the army's combat power will be there, and there are so many refugees fleeing famine, this recruit is not a catch A lot.

Even if the main general is killed in battle, these servants are not afraid. With their fighting skills in battle, they are just like treasures if they cast themselves under the general's command, and they are nothing more than eating food in another place.

In Zhang Cheng's ideal battle, it should be an upright battle formation. The purpose is: if you win, you will raise your glass to celebrate, and if you lose, you will fight to the death!

However, in the battles of the army in this period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was true that only a few family guards charged forward, and when they won, they rushed forward, and when they lost, they fled thousands of miles.

Zhang Cheng thought that the reason for this situation was that the generals of the towns withheld military pay, and the other was that they were negligent or difficult to train on weekdays.

The arrogant soldiers in each battalion have too many soldiers, and it is difficult to rectify them. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, there were only deserters. It is rare that there is one who is willing to stay and serve as a soldier. Not all of them are treated like treasures. Who wants to deal with these people ruthlessly?
