Daming Military Empire

Chapter 88
The previous article mentioned that the leader of the peasant uprising army, King Gu Wang Jiayin, led an army of more than [-] to invade Zezhou, Shanxi. Wang Jiayin has been there for five or six days, but he hasn't seen Governor Lu Xiangsheng lead the troops to rescue him, so what's going on?
Naturally, it was impossible for Lu Xiangsheng not to come to the rescue. When he received the emergency documents, the recruits had just started training for less than half a month, and the first batch of new flintlock guns had not yet been delivered. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of [-] recruits is not as good as his [-] capitals. One thousand Guanning iron cavalry brought by Ying Qinwei and Cao Wenzhao.But even so, he had to lead the troops to rescue him. If the bandits occupied Zezhou, the gates to Henan and the capital would be opened, and the bandits would spread to the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, then his crime would be serious.

After Lu Xiangsheng received the emergency document from Zezhou, he immediately organized the generals to discuss and prepare to move to Zezhou. During this period, Cao Wenzhao suggested that he first lead the Guanning cavalry and the newly recruited [-] cavalry to Zezhou to block the army of the bandit Wang Jiayin. Lu Xiangsheng rejected his proposal without hesitation.

Are you kidding me? Ordinary thieves are nothing more than bandits. Even if there are 20 troops, it's okay for Cao Wenzhao to take [-] cavalry to resist for a while.But this is Wang Jiayin's department, the leader of the thieves. Wang Jiayin has captured Fugu County since the first year of Chongzheng. In the past few years, he has looted everywhere, captured countless cities, and robbed an unknown amount of gold and silver. The army is even better. In addition, Wang Jiayin's general Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang was a horse dealer. He bought an unknown number of horses for Wang Jiayin. I heard that they now have [-] to [-] cavalry. Cao Wenzhao took these [-] recruits over there , It's like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and there will be no return.

He knew that with the combat power of [-] recruits under his command, the only way to stop the bandits was to go forward in groups. Once they dispersed, they would definitely be defeated by Wang Jiayin one by one.Moreover, it is impossible for his [-] recruits who have just practiced for less than half a month to beat the more than [-] bandits under the bandit chief Wang Jiayin. Only when the flintlock arrives, there may be a chance of winning with the strength of the weapon.

So, he sent someone to inform the capital immediately, begging the emperor to send the flintlock guns quickly, and at the same time he pulled out the camp and reorganized the army, ready to go.

His reaction was quick enough. Less than an hour after receiving the emergency document from Zezhou, he set off with an army of 10 troops. Dozens of tons, it’s not enough without it, what do you eat every day, how do you sleep at night, just fall down and lie on the ground?Those are all the plots in the divine drama. It is freezing cold, if you dare to let your soldiers sleep in the open, it is estimated that few of them will be able to get up the next day!
Wang Jiayin led more than [-] horses, and it took five or six days to march from Pingyang Mansion to the nearby Zezhou. From Taiyuan Mansion to Zezhou, Qinzhou and Lu'an Mansions were separated, and it took ten days and a half months. It is impossible to reach.

It is said that after five or six days of persuading Wang Jiayin to surrender in Yangcheng, he finally found out that he seemed to have been tricked. On the sixth day, everything was settled, but there was no movement in Yangcheng.Not to mention Kaesong surrendered, he didn't even get a reply, and if he didn't know that people were using delaying tactics, he would be a pig.

Naturally, Wang Jiayin is not a pig, but he is the famous King of Fugu. When he found out that he was caught in the trap, he immediately sent detectives all the way north to investigate the movement in the direction of Taiyuan. As expected, the detectives reported back the next day. Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Shanxi, led an army of [-], and it was less than three days away from Yangcheng!
After he heard the news, he didn't panic. There was nothing to be afraid of, just a hundred thousand recruits.He summoned his generals to the commander's tent, reported the situation, and then proudly said: "Everyone, tell us how to deal with this Lu Xiangsheng."

Even "cleaning up" was used, which shows how much he despised Lu Xiangsheng's 10 horses, and the generals did not show panic expressions. The [-] guards who just put down their hoes really didn't know what to do fearful.

The reason why Hong Chengchou couldn't beat Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi was because Hong Chengchou's men were all experienced frontier soldiers. As for the Tunwei, they had cleaned up more than [-] soldiers in recent years.

As soon as Wang Jiayin spoke, Zijin Liang Wang Ziyong replied immediately: "My lord, although Lu Xiangsheng's men are all recruits, we can't take it lightly. If the casualties are too large, it will affect our future development. There is still a Yangcheng to attack. Woolen cloth."

Hearing this, Wang Jiayin nodded after thinking for a while and said: "Well, what I said for my own use makes sense. Although Lu Xiangsheng's men are recruits, there are still 5 people. If we fight head-on, we will have at least [-] casualties. In addition to the loss of the siege, the casualties are too great, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to recover, and we need to use tricks to deal with Lu Xiangsheng."

As soon as his words fell, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang continued: "Your Majesty, it is a taboo for military strategists to attack far away. Qin Mugong did not listen to Uncle Jian's advice and worked hard to attack far away. As a result, the Qin army was defeated. Lu Xiangsheng doesn't know the art of war, he rushed all the way from Taiyuan, he has been marching for more than ten days, the soldiers must be exhausted, we can sneak attack while he is camping, and we will be able to easily take him down."

Hearing this, Wang Jiayin clapped his hands and praised: "Yingxiang's plan is very clever. We will wait for the labor with ease, and the enemy will attack far away. It will be easy to deal with them. Well, let's all come and see where they will camp."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards the map hanging on the side, and all the generals surrounded him.

After watching for a while, Wang Jiayin laughed and said: "Hahahaha, this is the best place to camp in the north of Yangcheng, surrounded by mountains and rivers. There are many mountains in other places, but there is no water. Lu Xiangsheng must be here Camp everywhere."

Gao Yingxiang looked at the place Wang Jiayin pointed out, nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right, this place is more than ten miles away from Yangcheng, the distance is just right, and water is convenient. It is an excellent place to camp. Lu Xiangsheng must camp here."

All the generals stepped forward to take a look, and nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Wang Jiayin didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately returned to the commander's seat and said loudly: "All the generals listen to the order."

Everyone hurried back to their positions and stood in awe.

Seeing that the generals stood still, Wang Jiayin said in a loud voice: "Ling Er wait to move all the troops to the north of Yangcheng before today's time, and station on both sides of the camp in the north of the city."

All the generals clasped their hands and said in unison: "The last general obeys."

Wang Jiayin waved his hand and said, "Go down and get ready."

Hearing the words, all the generals bowed their hands and retreated one by one, returned to the camp, cleaned up the stove, and pulled out the camp to station in the north of the city.

In Yangcheng, the magistrate of Zezhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the bandits from the east, west, south and south have pulled out their camps and gathered in the north of the city. He knew that the governor had finally arrived.As for whether to go out of the city to greet them, such a stupid question is naturally unnecessary, and there are more than [-] bandits between them. Are you going out of the city to seek death?
