please make me king

"Eastern soldiers fled to the south?" Zhang Shun asked strangely as he stood in the devastated Baoanzhou New City.

"Yes, the villain saw it with his own eyes. The Chief Nalu personally led the troops and artillery, crossed the Yanghe River and went all the way south!" A low-ranking officer of the Ming Army with a newly shaved "money rat tail" head nodded and bowed. .

"Going south, do you intend to stay in the old city?" Zhang Shun pondered for a moment, then swung him back, and asked somewhat uncertainly.

Zhang Shun's generals heard that you look at me and I look at you, and they were speechless for a while.

When it comes to killing the enemy in battle, they can be regarded as good players. If they are asked to analyze the enemy's situation and make judgments, it is a bit embarrassing for these people.

"No, I shouldn't have gone to the old city." Just as everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Gao Qiqian hesitated for a while, and finally answered affirmatively.

"If Donglu wants to go to the old city, he must be planning to steal our army's back route, so it is impossible for there to be only this few guards in Baoan City."

It turned out that after Yang Chengzu repelled Jin Yin Erdeng's Ba Yala camp, the gunners of the rebel army on the left finally freed up their hands and fired at the "Tian Blessing Soldiers" and "Tian Zhu Bing".

The "Heaven's Blessing Soldiers" and "Heaven's Blessing Soldiers" were originally firearms-based teams. In hand-to-hand combat, they had an advantage against Xu Quan's firecracker battalion.

In addition, the cannons of the rebels fired from the flanks, and a single shell could penetrate more than a dozen soldiers. How could they resist it?

The collapse first started from the right wing of the "Tianyou Bing" and "Tianzhu Bing", and then spread to the center and left wing.

In the end, the whole army retreated back to the city, and the rebels brought up the "General Qingtian Cannon", "Field Cannon" and "Golden Cannon" and continued to bombard Baoan City.

The rebel army bombarded for another half a day, and the walls of Baoan City collapsed in many places. Seeing that the city could not be defended, Hong Tai and "San Shun King" took advantage of the darkness to cover and abandon the city and fled.

The rebels couldn't catch up, and they were afraid that Hou Jin would kill him with his carbine, so he had to let him go.

In the early morning of the next day, the rebel army took control of Baoan City, and only then did the previous conversation take place.

"It doesn't matter, I have to trouble Li Shukong to send more scouts later." Zhang Shun shook his head, and finally decided to wait.

Although the scouts of the rebel army found out that the main force of Hou Jin had gone south, but due to the lack of information obtained, Zhang Shun couldn't be sure for a while what kind of idea this Mrs. Hong was playing.

"Your Highness, urgent report to Bao'an Old City!" Just when Zhang Shun was puzzled, Xu Ziyuan hurried over and handed over the letter.

"Fanshan Fort?" Zhang Shun opened it, and couldn't help but ask in doubt, "The main force of the Eastern Captives moved to Fanshan Fort. What's the plan?"

"No, Mrs. Hong is going to fight us to the death!"

What kind of person is Zhang Shun now, after a little thought, he immediately discovered Hong Tai's intentions.

"What should I do? Do you want to fight?" Gao Qiqian was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he also reacted, and couldn't help asking.

If you want a decisive battle, it doesn't make sense for me to have a decisive battle.

If you use the terms of encircling the flag, it means that you "rob" and I have to "respond to the robbery", otherwise the decisive battle will not be fought.

The alliance between Song, Liao and Chanyuan was a typical example, and the two sides were a perfect pair of opponents. …

A general Wang Chaochao, who blocked the enemy at the foot of the city of Chanzhou, was waiting for more than [-] troops to attack and cut off the enemy's back, but there was no movement for a long time.

One is to drive straight in and go deep into the enemy's territory. As a result, there is a fortified city in front of it, and hidden dangers in the back, and the general Xiao Talin was shot to death with a bed crossbow.

One is afraid of wolves in front and the other is afraid of tigers in back.

The two sides opened up their stance aggressively, but as a result, the war to determine the ownership of the world did not start, and finally ended hastily, which is really eye-popping.

This is exactly whether it is up to me to fight or not, and it is up to the enemy whether to fight or not.

"Yes, why not?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but said, "This king has carefully prepared for several years, just for today."

"If he was allowed to escape this time, wouldn't it be necessary for this king to go deep into the barren land with a hundred thousand armors and go to the bitter cold Liaodong to find the enemy?"

As Li Shukong's scouts continued to expand their scope of investigation, the rebel army finally found that the east gate of Xuanzhen Town and the Donglu in the north seemed to have all withdrawn.

From Baoan to Huailai, from Huai to Yanqing, from Yanqing to Juyongguan, they are all unoccupied.

The grain, silver, gunpowder, cloth, artillery, firecrackers, armor, swords and even sulfur and saltpeter in the city have already been wiped out by Hou Jinshou.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of the people in the city to carry it, and the city couldn't be moved, I'm afraid the remaining two items would be snatched by Hou Jin.

"Good Mrs. Hong, this move is really beautiful!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but sigh after finally confirming the main force of Houjin.

One is to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and not leave any useful materials for the rebels. As a result, these cities will only become a burden for the rebels, not a benefit.

One is that after the main road is opened, if the rebel army does not occupy it, then the Ming army, which was preparing to make a profit in the east, may take the opportunity to "recover the city".

In this way, the rebel army not only had to fight the Houjin decisive battle, but also had to guard against the sneak attack of the Ming army, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Then what shall we do?" Xu Ziyuan and Gao Qiqian couldn't help but frowned.

"He doesn't want it, we want it!" Zhang Shun shook his head and said with determination.

"Where is Jiang Yu? You will relay the words to your brother Jiang Xuan in a while. He has already taken up the post of commander-in-chief. I ordered thirty or fifty people to go to Juyongguan to recruit the old troops immediately, and fill up the vacancy by myself."

"If this is accomplished, but the Juyong Pass can be preserved, the king will allow him a Marquis; if the Ming army comes to attack, and he can't resist enough, the king will not add any crime."

"Ah? Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" Jiang Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but exclaimed with joy.

It turned out that Mrs. Hong had all kinds of calculations, but she didn't expect that this Juyongguan general was actually the brother of the rebel general Jiang Yu, and she didn't expect that Jiang Xuan fled to Xuanzhen to join the rebel army after losing Juyongguan.

In normal times, this member of the general would not be worth anything, but at this critical moment, this Jiang Xuan was of great use.

From Xuanfu City to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the most important pass is Juyongguan.

Now that Jin moved to the south of Baoan Prefecture, the Ming army did not know the reality of both sides.

Zhang Shun was going to take the opportunity to gamble that after that, Jin would not be able to abandon Changping and Miyun.

If Hou Jin still occupied Changping, Miyun and other places, even if the rebel army occupied Juyongguan, the Ming army might not dare to ignore the enemies in Changping and Miyun and take the initiative to attack in the direction of Xuanfu.

As long as Juyongguan is not lost, even if Yanqing, Huailai, and Baoan New City are lost, as long as Jimingyi is not lost, the appearance of the Ming army will not have much impact on the decisive battle between the two sides.
