Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 467 Hong Chengchou wants to join

"What's the matter with these rogues? Could it be that they lost the battle in Hebei?" Hong Chengchou couldn't help being puzzled when he saw that groups of rogues from the east were fleeing to the west.

"Most of the rogues will flee after being defeated. Isn't this scene like the scene when we defeated the rogues before Li Zicheng and Zhang Yuan became a powerful force?" Cao Wenzhao said.

"It's a pity that after being led by Zhang Yuan to break through the flanks in northern Shaanxi, we were devastated and never defeated the bandits again. Instead, we were surrounded by the bandits near Luoyang." Hong Chengchou was quite emotional.

Don't think too much, Hong Chengchou can't think of who can defeat the Dashun Army in the north, except for the Liao Army who entered the pass.Of course, the Ming army near Shanhaiguan is also possible, but this possibility is too small.It's just that Hong Chengchou and the others have been besieged by rogues for so long that they don't even know that the Liao Army has been renamed the Kyushu Army.

"Stand by on the spot to see if it is similar to my guess." Seeing such a situation, Hong Chengchou was not in a hurry to look for the Liao army in the east.

More than 4000 Ming troops were stationed beside the former site of Hulao Pass, opening a passage to let the desperate bandits escape to Xi'an.The rogues fleeing now are like a flood. If Hong Chengchou ignorantly gets out of the only way, he will probably be overwhelmed by the peasant army.Hong Chengchou and the others did not expect that the peasant army leaders such as Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong also escaped from them.

They waited for three full days in Hong Chengchou before they saw the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Kyushu Army, the Red Dragon Banner of the Artillery, and the Black Dragon Banner of the Cavalry.The battle flags of three colors reflect each other, hunting!
In addition to the military flag of the Kyushu Army, there is also the battle flag of the Ming Army that Hong Chengchou and the others are familiar with.It's just that the flags of the Ming army are a bit messy, and it is estimated that they are a joint force composed of different local Ming armies.

It's not that the Kyushu Army and the Ming Army didn't want to pursue the main force of the rogues as soon as possible, but that there were too many rogues fleeing along the way, so that Zhang Yuan, Liu Xingzuo and others took a lot of time to recover various prefectures and counties along the way. When they arrived near the former site of Hulao Pass, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong have already crossed Luoyang and arrived in Xi'an, where they are reorganizing the army in the Guanzhong area, waiting for another decisive battle with the Kyushu Army.

"There is still an established Ming army in Luoyang?" Wu Keshan, a Horqin cavalry who entered the customs, was at the forefront of chasing Gao Yingxiang and the others, and he saw thousands of Ming army troops near the Luoyang Basin, which was rare for him. .

Northern Shaanxi, Heluo, Shanxi and other places are recognized as the territories of the Dashun Army. After the defeat of the Dashun Army in the Battle of Taiyuan Prefecture, the Horqin Cavalry, several infantry brigades from the Army Department, and the surrendered Ming Army chased and killed Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong. People, along the way, have never seen a local Ming army with a scale of thousands, so it is no wonder that Wu Keshan was surprised.

"If my predictions are correct, this group of Ming soldiers should be Hong Chengchou, Zuo Liangyu, and Cao Wenzhao." Lu Xiangsheng followed Zhang Yuan and saw this group of Ming soldiers.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was familiar with the establishment of the Ming army, could think of the identity of the Ming army with his toes.

And Zhang Yuan, who personally defeated Hong Chengchou's Ming army with Li Zicheng and brought them down to this point, is even more familiar with the flag of this Ming army.He also understood at once.It's just that he was a little surprised that Hong Chengchou and the others survived so tenaciously, and they were still able to survive the troubled times with difficulty.

"Send people to contact the Ming army in Luoyang. If they are willing to surrender, they will be temporarily incorporated into our regiment and attack Guanzhong together. If they resist to the death, we will crush them directly and flatten them." Zhang Yuancai ignored Hong Chengchou's predecessor The governor of the three sides of the DPRK.

With the strength of the Kyushu Army that is now crossing the Yellow River south and the Ming Army that surrendered to the Kyushu Army, the corps to crusade against the Peasant Army has a strength of more than 5.With [-] elites entering the pass, there is no force that can resist it!
People sent by Zhang Yuan came to Hong Chengchou's camp, explained their intentions to Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao, and made a decision within half a day.Because the Kyushu Army has no extra time to consider receiving a mere [-] Ming troops!Even to flatten this Ming army, I am afraid it will not take half a day, given half a day is already very generous!

"I didn't expect that the Liao Army recovered the capital and changed its name to the Kyushu Army. We were surrounded for several months, and the whole world was completely changed." Hong Chengchou and the others finally heard the latest and most certain from the Kyushu Army. I can't help feeling that things are right and people are wrong.

They fought on the front line, but the loyal emperor's whereabouts were unknown, and the imperial capital changed hands twice, which has to be said to be an anecdote in the world.

"We are willing to accept your army's surrender and march westward together with your army to completely wipe out the bandits and pacify the northwest." After Hong Chengchou sighed, he still had to face reality.

Just as he and Cao Wenzhao thought together, choosing to take refuge in the Kyushu Army, which was born in the Ming Army and was born in Xinxing, is already a pretty good choice right now.If you really go to the south, when the time comes, the feudal town will be separated, and the world will not know when it will be chaotic.

After Hong Chengchou chose to surrender to the Kyushu Army, he personally took Cao Wenzhao and other surviving senior officials of the Ming Army to meet Zhang Yuan, Liu Xingzuo, Wu Keshan and others.

"Zhang Yuan, I didn't expect that we would meet in such a capacity today. As the governor of the three sides appointed by His Majesty, I was defeated by you in the past, and now I lead and surrender to you. I am really ashamed." Hong Chengchou blushed. road.

"You don't have to worry about it. The battle that day was completely taken by surprise and I defeated you with excellent firearms. I have to say that the 'Qin Army' you trained is top-notch among all the Ming armies, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into the Dashun army. After months of siege, there are still so many strong men alive." Seeing the Ming soldiers with tattered armor, Zhang Yuan couldn't help thinking about how fierce battles they had experienced in the past few months.

If this group of Ming army is absorbed into the Kyushu army and equipped with excellent firearms, it can become a unique iron army in the future.War is the furnace for forging a powerful army!Tens of thousands of soldiers were thrown into this melting pot, and only a few thousand of the strongest will survive and become the mainstay!
"Are you Cao Wenzhao? I'm sorry that the artillery hit you before and caused you to suffer from the current problems." Zhang Yuan noticed Cao Wenzhao who was following Hong Chengchou.

When Cao Wenzhao was fighting with Zhang Yuan and Li Zi, he was hit by artillery and was seriously injured.Later, although he recovered a life, he also became lame.

"In the past, you and I were in different camps, and I was just a defeated general." Cao Wenzhao said nonchalantly, "Fortunately, my nephew Cao Bianjiao served in the army and replaced me at the front to boost morale after my leg injury. No problem."
