Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 218 Destroying the Bandit Army of Yan'an Mansion
Listening to Wang Zhi asking Li Zicheng, he hastily and carefully replied:

"My lord! Originally there was such a person! But in the morning, for some unknown reason, he took his brother out to practice, but he disappeared after going out! Presumably, he ran away because he was afraid of the majesty of the lord! "

When Wang Zhi heard this, he thought to himself:

Sure enough!There is still something about the "Chuangwang" who has been tossing the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years. The ability to run away after hearing the news is really not covered, and he ran away before I arrived.Forget it, I will meet him sooner or later, it just takes more effort.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhi didn't worry about Li Zicheng's escape, and said to Wang Zuogui:
"Temporarily serve as a vanguard officer in our army! Well, Gu Cong trusts the Sima in your army and is in charge of food and grass!
You go back and select five thousand people who can fight to form an army, resettle the common people on the spot, distribute the fields, and strictly restrain them.

Whether you can make amends after this depends on your performance in the next bandit suppression! "

Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Wang Zuogui cupped his fists inexplicably in surprise and said:
"Thank you for your trust, Sir, I will go back and make arrangements in the end, and I will not disappoint you!"

When Gu Congxin heard that Wang Zhi arranged for him to be the Sima of the army, he also realized it in his heart.

I thought to myself, although Sima is not a high-ranking official, he can be regarded as an official with real power. I have just surrendered, so what is there to be dissatisfied with!As long as you do things well for adults, if you want to get ahead, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!

The two of them bid farewell joyfully, left the tent, and hurried back to the station, not mentioning it for the time being.

Outside the handsome tent, after seeing the two leave, Gangzi, the monk, and Zhuo Yifan entered the tent.

Zhuo Yifan asked:
"Captain, was that big guy just now Wang Zuogui? I don't see any NB!"

Wang Zhi said with a smile:
"What do you think! It won't have more parts than others. Apart from being taller, there is nothing surprising!"

He Shi answered the conversation:
"That's right! These so-called leaders of the rebel army are just a little more courageous and recruit some people! In terms of fighting, they can't beat the formally trained army! Just, hey, let's not talk about it!"

Gangzi went on to say:

"Yes! If it weren't for the corruption of civil and military officials, how could the huge Ming Dynasty be overthrown by the peasant army!"

When Wang saw this, he answered:

"Isn't this the purpose of our coming here! As long as the Tartars, the rebels, and Chongzhen know the direction of history, I think everything will change!"

After chatting for a while, Wang Zhi temporarily stopped in Yichuan to fix things, waiting for Wang Zuogui to finish all matters, and waiting for Wu Sangui's arrival by the way.

In the blink of an eye and half a month later, Wang Zhi waited for Wu Sangui's [-] cavalry, and Yichuan was also settled.

On this day, Wang Zhi, Gangzi, Monk, Zhuo Yifan, Shen Lian, Pei Lun, Wu Sangui, and Wang Zuogui gathered in Wang Zhi's tent.

Wang Zhi sat at the top, looked at the generals below, and said:
"Nowadays in northern Shaanxi, Wang Jiayin is entrenched in Fugu, with Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng under his command;

Zhang Xianzhong caused rebellion in the tangled eighteen villages in Mizhi; Zhang Cunmeng was in Luochuan; "

Hearing Wang Zhi's question, Gangzi understood what Wang Zhi meant, stood up and said:
"At present, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong are the most threatening to the imperial court. Cut them out one by one first, and free up your hands to deal with other people."

The other generals attending the meeting saw that it was the strategy proposed by Gangzi, and they all nodded in agreement.

Wang Zhi said:

"Then let's set off tomorrow, go to Yan'an Mansion first, wipe out Li Wanqing, Ma Shouying, and Luo Rucai there, and then move to Mizhi.

Wang Zuogui is in the vanguard, Pei Lun is in the middle army, Wu Sangui is in the rear army, and Shen Lianbu is in the maneuvering position. Let's all go down and prepare! "

A group of generals were ordered to leave the tent, preparing for departure tomorrow.

The next day, Wang Zhi issued an order to break out of camp and set off for Yan'an Mansion.

The team is full of cavalry, marching at a fast speed, and wiped out the small bandit army encountered along the way, and arrived at the boundary of Yan'an Prefecture on this day.

At this time, the three tribes of Li Wanqing, Ma Shouying, and Luo Rucai had gathered together, with a large number of people, claiming to be 10 horses.

All three are from the Hui nationality, arrogant by nature, and because they have won several battles with the officers and soldiers, they simply look down on Wang Zhi's 5 troops. All three of them scoffed at the news of the horses.

I took it for granted that most of the elements were exaggerated, so I decided to start a decisive battle with Wang Zhibu outside the Yan'an mansion, intending to wipe out the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, snatch equipment and materials, and expand the results of the battle in order to snatch more territory and do a good job for the future king. Prepare.

On the plain outside Yan'an Mansion, Li, Ma, and Luo's troops lined up on one side of the plain, waiting for the arrival of Wang Zhi's troops.

Wang Zhi, who was on the march, received a report from the scouts that the three of them gathered 10 horses on the plain, as if they were going to fight Wang Zhi.

When Wang Zhi heard the news, he was very funny, these three people are too arrogant!No wonder Hu can only become the leader of the 36th Battalion, but he can't be king.

It's just like the upstarts, and they want to eat [-] officers and soldiers in one go, and they are not afraid of dying.

Now that he knew who his opponent was, Wang Zhi didn't hesitate, and directly ordered the army to march faster.

Wang Zhi planned to defeat the bandits and kill the enemy leader in one fell swoop on the plain.

After a while, Wang Zhi's army came to the other side of the plain, and the two sides lined up to wait.

The bandits on the opposite side yelled loudly, but Wang Zhi's troops stood there silently, waiting for orders.

The noisy crowd on the opposite side, caught by the silent momentum of Wang Zhi's troops, gradually stopped.

Seeing that their momentum had been taken away, Li, Ma, and Luo were worried that they would lose their fighting spirit if they continued, so they hurriedly urged their cavalry to charge towards Wang Zhi's team.

In Wang Zhi's team, it was still the same. The cavalry stood around the rifle battalion, waiting for the opponent to enter the range of the artillery and rifles.

After a while, the opponent's cavalry rushed to the range of the artillery, and Zhuo Yifan immediately ordered to fire when he saw this.

Immediately, there was a dense "swoosh" sound in the sky, and a moment later, a loud "boom" sounded from the cavalry on the opposite side, and the mud and gunpowder smoke filled the sky, accompanied by screams and screams of people and horses.

I don't know how many cavalrymen were killed by the shells, and the peasants who followed the horses were also frightened by the loud noise today.

I saw them throw away the sticks and hoes in their hands one after another, some crawled on the ground trembling with their heads in their arms, and some turned around and fled back.

For a moment, the entire gang was in a panic, not to mention charging, it was impossible to stop the whole team.

Wang Zuogui, who was behind the Rifle Battalion, also turned pale with fright. Looking at the gunpowder smoke in the distance, Wang Zuogui tremblingly said to Gu Congxin beside him:

"Fortunately, we surrendered early, otherwise..."

The rest of the words were not spoken, but Gu Congxin beside him knew what they were saying.
