The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 827
All in all, Xiong Wencan's army of 25 people fell apart in one morning.

The Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry and rogue bandits captured a large number of troops with negligible losses, and the number of captured Ming infantry reached [-].

Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng, Luo Rucai, Liu Xiyao and other 10 people who are thieves are about to join forces with Gao Yingxiang in Weishui. They not only have equipment, but also carry a lot of food, grass and supplies.

Xiong Wencan, the captain of the transportation team, did a good job, and Chongzhen, who was not good at employing people, was doomed to have no chance if he cheated him at such a critical moment.

Many sentry horses sent by Tongguan sent back the sad news that Xiong Wencan's 10,000+ army was defeated at the first time. Sun Yingyuan was shocked and fell down on a chair.

He had seen Xiong Wencan's troops leaving Tongguan with his own eyes, and knew that they would definitely have to fight, but he really didn't expect that after half a day's work, they would be finished.

Sun Yingyuan yelled and asked the sentry horse who reported the news: "Have you not been able to hold on for a long time? What do the governors of the five provinces do for food? Are the two 10,000+ horses all pigs? Even pigs should be able to fight for a few days. How can they lose so quickly? Such a thorough truth?"

The sentry horse replied: "My lord, you guys can see clearly with binoculars from a distance. There are too many Ming soldiers who have not resisted at all, and they are kneeling all over the mountains and plains. It is indeed much easier to beat these people than to catch pigs."

Huang Huiwu smiled and said, "Master once said that you are not afraid of encountering a god-like opponent, but you are afraid of having pig-like teammates. General Sun, it is a good thing you didn't follow that pig-like governor of the five provinces out of Tongguan, otherwise..."

He Yongqing said: "It's nothing, this is what the mentor expected. We want to turn bad things into good things. It doesn't hurt to lose those rotten soldiers who kneel and surrender when they see the situation is not good. We have to do our best to respond to those who refuse to surrender and run back. soldiers."

Sun Yingyuan looked disappointed. In his heart, he hoped that Daming would win a big victory and be loyal to the Chongzhen court, but things backfired. What should we do now?Is there any other option not to rely on the "Red Banner Army"?
In desperation, Sun Yingyuan accepted the suggestion of He Yongqing and Huang Huiwu.

He is ready to accept all the Ming troops who fled from Shaanxi, but He Yongqing has a request that all those who try to enter Tongguan must disarm, accept management and reorganize.

After setting the tone, the first batch of Ming soldiers who came outside the city refused to carry out such an order. It was Huang Degong, Luo Dai and other generals who came to the west gate of Guancheng surrounded by Xiong Wencan, who was like a bereaved dog.

Xiong Wencan asked the switch to let 2000 of them enter the city, but was told that the gatekeeper, Sun Yingyuan, turned his face on Sun Yingyuan and wanted to disarm the brave men.

Governor Xiong was furious, and even yelled at him. This man is not capable of fighting, and he is very arrogant in playing the role of an official.

However, Sun Yingyuan, Huang Huiwu, and He Yongqing politely received Huang Degong, an old friend who entered Wengcheng.

After a big defeat, Huang Degong was so ashamed that he couldn't bear it. When he saw Sun Yingyuan, he immediately clasped his fists and said:

"General Sun, it's all over. Hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed overnight. My brother ran out. I don't know how many brothers will be buried in the wilderness."

Sun Yingyuan said: "Unfortunately, General Zhenglu hit the mark. Brother, I can't be sure that Xiong Wencan will suffer such a disastrous defeat, so I couldn't make up my mind to keep General Huang. Now I regret it."

Huang Degong said sadly: "It's too late to say anything. The army that was finally put together was destroyed. The court will make the situation worse. I am afraid that it will no longer be able to put down the bandits and repel the Jiannu to regain Shaanxi."

He Yongqing was the most calm at this time, his mind was simple, and he was beaten the hardest by Huang Yi when he was studying culture, so he barely mastered the eight hundred characters and stepped into the ranks of military officers all the way up.

In his heart, the head of the family and the mentor are god-like existences. Huang Han never uses his brain to analyze what he believes.

The head of the family asserted that Xiong Wencan would be defeated, and He Yongqing had long regarded him as a dead person. Seeing Huang Degong, who used to drink together in the capital, as if mourning, he said with a smile:
"'Huang Chuangzi', why do you have a sour face, Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, has buried so many soldiers and horses, is there still a way to survive?
After a while, Lao Tzu arrested him and waited for Tiqi to get him.You should think about how to take the next step, and if you follow Xiong Wencan, you may accompany him to the entrance of the vegetable market in the capital to be stabbed. "

Huang Degong dared to fight the enemy at the age of 12. During his military career of more than [-] years, he went to the battle to kill the enemy many times regardless of life and death. He was called "Huang Chuangzi" by his colleagues.

Sun Yingyuan didn't have a good impression of Xiong Wencan, because when Xiong Wencan led the army through Tongguan, he was arrogant and did not give Sun Yingyuan a good face.

He said: "Master Xiong, the governor of the five provinces, has lost so many troops and fled back to Tongguan. Not only can he not keep his official position, but he may not be able to avoid being stabbed at Caishikou in the capital. There is really no need for General Huang to follow this scammer any more Go to the dark."

Huang Degong also knew that his future was worrying, how could he explain such a big defeat to the court without killing dozens of civil servants and generals?

If the backstage in the imperial court insisted, they might be able to get away with it, but Huang Degong, who relied on his military exploits, had no backing!

Huang Degong said with a bitter face: "General Sun, General He, please give me a hand!"

He Yongqing said loudly: "'Huang Chuangzi', I suggest you don't think too much, stay in Tongguan for the time being to see the situation before you make a fuss, I think you should be killed in battle if you hide in the 'Red Banner Army' camp and don't show up. To avoid being caught by Ti Qi and sent to Zhao Prison."

Sun Yingyuan nodded and said: "I should hide in Tongguan for a period of time to avoid Tiqi's capture, and we can make a long-term plan after the wind has passed."

Huang Degong smiled bitterly and said: "There are about [-] cavalry outside the city, and only a small half of them are under the command of brothers. How can we hide so many eyes and ears? The plan of the two generals may not work."

He Yongqing said: "I don't care which battalion the [-] cavalry outside the city belong to, none of them will let them escape. First, disarm them and take care of them, then slowly screen them out, retrain them, and finally incorporate them all into the 'Red Banner Army. '."

Huang Huiwu said: "Don't worry, as long as the soldiers are reorganized by the 'Red Banner Army', they will have a new look in less than three months. Who will care about the affairs of civil servants and generals?"

Huang Degong was relieved to see He Yongqing and Huang Huiwu's attitude, and said: "A group of defeated soldiers are not eager to get the chance to join the 'Red Banner Army'. Brothers, I will go out immediately and tell them."

He Yongqing laughed and said: "Hahaha, don't worry, General Huang, I will go with you."

The west gate of Tongguan opened, and He Yongqing ran out of the Wengcheng first, and his two big dogs ran in front of the team with their bloody tongues sticking out. The 360 ​​"Red Banner Army" cavalry was majestic and murderous.

Because of the dog king Ge Daben, and because of the military dogs' repeated meritorious service, the "Red Banner Army" general Zuo all fell in love with military dogs. camp.
