Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Bai Yongfu, who was close at hand, was killed, and the news of the defeat of his subordinates, including more than [-] "elite" troops including the cavalry of the main barracks of the Chinese army, had not yet reached Zhang Guozhu's ears.

This powerful general under Liu Zeqing was rushing towards the area of ​​Dongchangfu City. He heard that there were bandits there, but there were not many of them, and he had no plans or strength to attack the city.That being the case, it's better to go to a fight first, take advantage of it, and make it easier for the commander-in-chief.

He said he was in a hurry, but he rode within twenty miles every day. There was no grain storage in the army, and Zhang Guozhu never cared about it. But after he stopped marching, he let his subordinates herd sheep, saying that he was telling them to "" Self-raised".

What is going on with this self-raising, who can know?

These days, from Yanggu to Dongchang Mansion, I don't know how many people have suffered, and the scourge is not light. [

This kind of thing is actually a devil. Some generals can restrain the devil in the hearts of soldiers, while others are completely indulgent. Of course Zhang Guozhu is the latter.

"The whole army is mobilized, and we must go to the city of Dongchangfu today!"

After waking up in the morning, all the soldiers waited until the second quarter of the hour, yawning and lining up. Then, under the urging and whipping of the generals, they began to walk towards Dongchangfu City.

The weather is warm and humid, and the wheat seedlings on the roadside have grown very tall, but they look sparse, and it is unlikely that there will be a good harvest.

Soldiers carried their spears and walked on the high and uneven official road and the fields on both sides...the ground is softer and more comfortable to step on. As for trampling the wheat seedlings to death...who cares?

The cavalry were lazily straddling their horses, and many of them were napping on their stomachs... These days, they are really tired from marching every day. It is the first time that they have traveled such a long distance since they served as soldiers in Caozhou. .In addition, going to harm people every day, and not going to sleep until the second or third watch every day, of course, the bones of the body can't stand it.

Those who can serve as cavalrymen can be regarded as the favorites of the army. Not to mention the salary is more than that of infantrymen, and it is also a big advantage to have a portion of the horse's chewing grain. The horse's belly was eaten, and the rest were exchanged for silver, and it was only decent to keep it by oneself.

They don't feed the horses concentrate, and they don't care about the horsepower. Spring and summer are the best time to fatten up the horses. If it is changed to Donglu, they also ride horses when they are marching, and they must use a big whip to whip them over here. As a matter of fact, the generals are all riding on half-fat horses, which are wobbly and comfortable, and it is foolish to expect the lower horses to cherish the horsepower.

From the morning to the thieves, they walked a total of ten miles. The soldiers complained, and even the cavalry complained about the pain in their waists and legs.

Zhang Guozhu felt a little anxious in his heart, and wanted to reprimand a few soldiers for standing up, so that they could continue to walk, and seeing that his own soldiers were also lazy, and when they aimed at those soldiers, they all had fierce eyes.

At that moment, he paused in his heart, and saw a town in front of him, a large area was exposed, and he said helplessly: "Okay, let's rest at the edge of the front town, after half an hour, everyone will eat and drink enough before going on the road .”

As soon as the word was passed on, the army rejoiced, and the eyes they looked at Zhang Guozhu became much more friendly.

"Hey, I can't imagine that these bastards were treated like grandsons in Caozhou. Seeing that my legs are twisted, they have changed like this now. It seems that they are not even afraid of the commander-in-chief."

Liu Zeqing murdered and gouged out his heart. This was witnessed by many people with his own eyes. Most of the teasing concubines and hospitality were made up, but the former is enough to bluff people.No matter how evil the soldier is, when he thinks that his commander is even more vicious, he will naturally respect him and dare not disobey him.

Originally, this method was very effective, but after sending out troops this time, they seemed to let the soldiers go wild. After dozens of days, they were letting go everywhere. Now, they don't even care about the general.

In such a hurry, Zhang Guozhu also released the scouts, but they were only four or five miles away from the brigade. When they were on their way, the scouts in front came back on their horses, and shouted loudly at the central army: "Report to the general, Enemy soldiers ahead!"

Zhang Guozhu was shocked and asked: "How many people, how many infantry, how many cavalry, and what banner are they playing?"

"It seems that there are no infantry, only cavalry. The banner is marked with the word "Zhu". There is no battalion flag and team flag. There are not many people, only three or four hundred."

"They are thieves, of course they don't have the flag camp flag!" [

When Zhang Guozhu heard that there were only three or four hundred people, he immediately became suspicious and shouted: "Don't move for now, the infantry is spread out in the middle, and the cavalry is divided into two sides, so let's line up here!"

This is the official road to Dongchang, it is close to the town, and the place is very open.

After the whole team was called out, the team was in chaos. There was no queen bee scurrying around. They couldn't find the leader of the armor, and the leader of the armor couldn't find the leader of the bureau. It's a kind of weaving method, but it's usually pretty decent, but no one practiced the most basic kung fu of queuing, and it was a failure to respond to the flag. Fortunately, there was enough space, and a group of soldiers and ants finished lining up. After the formation, the cavalry also rode their horses to both sides, and the infantry was slightly protruding forward, which was a standard formation of mixed infantry and cavalry to meet the enemy.

It took less than half an hour just to line up. If there are three or four thousand Donglu cavalry who have completed the formation on the opposite side, they have already started to collect the corpses of these thousands of soldiers... Of course, Donglu has no habit of collecting corpses. There is no interest in beheading the heads of the Ming army. Batulu of the Qing Dynasty expects to be famous by beheading the heads of the Ming army, which is too bad.

"My lord, we have scouted within five or six miles, and there is no enemy hiding."

This time for the whole team was just enough for the sentinels to run back and forth, and dozens of riders went and returned, all saying that they saw ambushes.

"Have you looked carefully?"

"It's true."

"Okay, very good!" Zhang Guozhu grinned grimly, and said loudly: "I don't know which thieves are crazy, hundreds of people want to stop us... It can be seen that they don't have many people in Dongchang. In Dongchang Mansion, there are rich and women in the city, and everyone has a share in the reward, you heard me, give me a good fight!"

There were thousands of people in total, and they were arranged tightly. Zhang Guozhu shouted loudly, and most of them heard it.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm really not afraid of starting a horse."

"Cut him ten or eight in one go!"

"Three or four thousand of us beat him three or four hundred, it would be too useless to be afraid."

Bullying the few with more is the specialty of all the officers and soldiers in the world except the Fushan soldiers. When they heard that there were few thieves on the other side, all the officers and soldiers of Caozhou cheered up, geared up and prepared to fight.

Zhang Guozhu was overjoyed when he saw this: "Okay, the army's spirit is available, go forward with me to beat the drums, and wipe out those hundreds of thieves!"

There are several military chanting paintings beside him, all sent by Liu Zeqing. The chanting paintings are said to be military positions, but they are actually filled by civil servants. It's just that Liu Zeqing didn't send them from the imperial court, they were appointed by himself.

A fan who praised the painting was quite old-fashioned, and said suspiciously: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and the general should be careful."

"Afraid of a fart!" The staff at the Fushan Staff Office are very respected, because to become a staff officer, you must first be proficient in writing, then you must learn arithmetic, understand surveying and mapping, and be able to make sand tables. It is a common thing, as for the study of terrain and geographical formation, it is also a compulsory course for the staff... In Caozhou Town, it is obvious that generals like Zhang Guozhu think that Zanhua is a fart, even Liu Zeqing is afraid that they are just using these people to decorate the facade. .

After spraying the praise painting wildly, Zhang Guozhu pointed forward with the broadsword in his hand, and passed down the military order in high spirits.

Although military discipline is not maintained and military orders are not good, Zhang Guozhu is an old soldier after all, and the formation he puts on is still reasonable.

With the current number of people, the infantry will be able to eat the opponent, and the cavalry will guard the two wings, and the horsepower will be raised at the back. The infantry escorting the central army to retreat can minimize losses... These days, ordinary battalion soldiers are consumables. They are considered spearmen with long spears. Only swordsman and card players have to work hard. It's also worth a few taels of silver.

If you look down from a height in mid-air, more than 3000 people lined up in a horizontal formation of seven miles. There is a certain distance between the cavalry on the two wings and the infantry, but they can support or attack forward at any time. [

When the formation was just set up, you could see the flags fluttering, the drums beating like thunder, the sound was loud, and the swords and spears were dazzling. The team of nearly 4000 people seemed very powerful and oppressive.

At the same time, Zhu Wangli on the opposite side took a look through the binoculars after hearing the sound of the drum, and lazily hid back again.

Ma Yong, who was not far away from him, laughed and said: "Old Zhu, you are too careless for doing this!"

Ma Yong came here with a team after his battle was over. Of course he was not helping the battle, and the cavalry under his command were exhausted. If he insisted on rushing to help the battle, he would suffer a lot of damage... Besides, Zhu Wangli didn't want anyone else at all. s help.

The fighting strength of the Tuqi was far higher than those of the Qingqi in Dongchang Mansion. If they needed help in this battle, Zhu Wangli would lose face.

"It's still three or four miles away. It's enough for them to go until dark."

"Haha, Lao Zhu, you really look down on people."

"Bah, this is all exalting them!"

On the battlefield, these Fushan generals were chatting and laughing, and they were not fighting more with less, but with 240 five cavalry against a strong enemy of nearly 4000 people. Huang Fei, who was watched by a few personal soldiers, felt that these people They are all crazy, if they are not crazy, then they are crazy.

Although there are more than 400 people on the battlefield here, nearly half of them are auxiliary soldiers, who do not fight in battle. When a cavalry rushes, they watch the horses and luggage in the rear.

Huang Fei was stunned for a while, dizzy from the sun, saw a group of auxiliary soldiers squatting half-squatting, all looking extremely bored, and another auxiliary soldier kept pulling out Artemisia seeds and chewing, with a bored expression on his face, immediately asked Said: "Wouldn't it be dangerous for the cavalry to charge up after a while?"

The auxiliary soldier glanced at him, and replied indifferently: "You can tell that you are a newcomer at a glance, let's watch the fun later, just don't scare your pants..."

Huang Fei was annoyed when he heard the letter, he didn't pay any attention to those auxiliary soldiers anymore, but he also faintly became curious. He had seen their Qingqi before, they were light and swift, they were brave and invincible during the battle, and they had superb riding skills, and they obeyed orders after the battle Acts are ordered and prohibited, and these heavy cavalry in front of me are obviously Fushan's heavy cavalry, but we have to see how they are different from Qingqi.
