Chapter 217: This general, this commander, the mob

After the Chinese army's tent was arranged, Zuo Liangyu, Ding Qirui and several of their staff looked at the military map and re-simulated the military arrangements for the siege of Xinye.

"What do you think, Supervisor, of this general's arrangement?"

Zuo Liangyu's expression was obviously proud, and he even changed his self-proclaimed name. He was no longer the self-effacing general he had been before, but now became "my general."

Ding Qirui felt a little bored.

In his opinion, Zuo Liangyu's arrangement of the various troops and horses was only average, without any highlights.

But he still smiled against his will and praised: "General Zuo is really talented. He will definitely defeat the bandit army this time and be crowned a knight."

"Hahaha, good luck to the Governor." Zuo Liangyu laughed happily, "However, if we win this battle, the one who deserves the greatest credit should be you, the Governor. If the Liu thieves in the Wei tribe can be wiped out, the Governor will definitely be able to Directly enter the cabinet, and even become the chief minister."

I have to say that Zuo Liangyu, who once worked as a book boy, is quite good at talking.

Although Ding Qirui was tired of Zuo Liangyu, after hearing these words, his mood improved and the smile on his face became much more natural.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between the two, several staff members also started talking auspicious words.

"In the past, bandits and bandits were running around in all directions, and the imperial army was under different orders, so the bandits escaped time and time again.

This time, the 12-strong army is under the control of Commander Zuo, and the Liu thief is arrogant and wants to have a showdown with the imperial army in Xinye. We will definitely succeed in this battle! "

"It takes Generals like Inspector Ding and Commander Zuo to get along with each other in order to seize such a good opportunity to suppress thieves."

"That's right. Once this battle is won, the Superintendent and Commander Zuo will be famous throughout the ages, and we can also follow suit."

"···"

"Hahaha," Zuo Liangyu laughed happily, looking at several staff members with extremely satisfied eyes, "If we can win this time, it will be due to the praise of several great talents."

Ding Qirui also smiled and nodded, feeling that these staff members were indeed talented and well-spoken, which was very likable.

Unexpectedly, the atmosphere in the big tent was cheerful, but there was an emergency call from outside.

"Report-"

Soon Xinqi was brought into the tent by Zuo Liangyu's servant and sent a letter asking for help.

"Superintendent, General Zuo, our headquarters was intercepted by thousands of bandit cavalry east of Wadian. Please send troops to rescue us quickly!"

However, after Meng Ruhu learned that he was encountering a large group of Yibu cavalry, he thought he could hold on for two or three hours, so he sent out his trusty cavalry in advance and went around to the south to ask for help from Zuo Liangyu.

In fact, if Feng Ruhu had been more ruthless and decisive and abandoned all the infantry, he could have escaped with more than 500 cavalry.

The problem was that he didn't expect that the Yibu cavalry had so many guns and cannons, and easily wiped out 5000 to [-] of his men.

Everyone in the tent was stunned when they heard Xinqi's words.

Zuo Liangyu then took the letter asking for help and read it.

Seeing that it was indeed a seal as fierce as a tiger, Zuo Liangyu frowned and said, "How could it be as fierce as a tiger? Don't you know how to take a boat down the Baihe River to Xinye?"

Xinqi said: "We went south by boat, but the headquarters was worried that the bandit army would intercept us downstream, so we landed in front of Wadian and prepared to go around to the east bank of the Thorn River to join forces in Xinye.

Unexpectedly, the thieves arrived in the Wadian area and stopped them before they crossed the Jihe River. "

Before, Zuo Liangyu would never pay attention to Meng Ruhu - the other party was not his subordinate, so why should he ask for help?
But in this battle with Xinye, he is the coach, and it is also related to whether his goal of being knighted can be achieved, so he must not just ignore it from the beginning.

He then asked: "Do you know how many thieves there are?"

"There are only more than 3000 riders."

"General, I know. You can go down and rest first."

Xinqi didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only accept the order and exit the tent.

Although Zuo Liangyu had made a decision, given the good atmosphere just now, he still respected Ding Qirui and asked, "What does the supervisor think about this?"

Ding Qirui said: "There are 5000 men in the fierce tiger division, and the Qin army is good at fighting. This time they are here on your and my orders, and we still have to go to the rescue.

Besides, they only encountered cavalry, so we can just send a cavalry team to rescue them. "

Zuo Liangyu also thought the same, so he nodded and said: "Then let Ma Jinzhong lead the more than 3000 miscellaneous cavalry from the Northeast Camp northward.

It was only fifty or sixty miles from Xinye to Wadian. The cavalry moved quickly and could arrive in about an hour.Even taking into account maintaining the physical strength of the horses and soldiers, it would only take an hour and a half at most.

Since the fierce tiger sent people to ask for help, it must be no problem to hold on for two or three hours.When Ma Jinzhong passes by, he might just be able to cooperate with the fierce tiger to annihilate the more than 3000 thieves. "

Hearing this, a staff member who responded immediately praised: "Commander Zuo is wise!"

Upon seeing this, the remaining staff immediately followed.

"It's all thanks to Commander Zuo's plan. It seems like we're going to win this battle!"

"Yes, if Commander Zuo hadn't strictly ordered Nanyang to send troops, how could there have been such a good fighter opportunity?"

"Didn't I report earlier that there were not many rebel cavalry? If we can kill more than 3000 rebel cavalry, maybe the entire battlefield will be blocked by the army. At this time, the rebel army is 'blind and deaf', so it will be easier to defeat!"

"···"

"Hahaha," Zuo Liangyu laughed happily again, "You guys made a good analysis. That's what I think."

Unconsciously, Zuo Liangyu's self-proclaimed status was upgraded again.It was reasonable to call himself "general" before. After all, he bore the seal of general.

"Commander Zuo" is a compliment given to him by others. He is not really a marshal. Calling himself "marshal" would be an overstep.

But at this moment, this scene, this situation, everyone from Ding Qirui to the servants in the tent seemed not to understand this, and they all laughed together.

···
Ma Jinzhong said loudly: "Listen up! If we can defeat the bandit army this time and successfully rescue the fierce tiger, I will ask Commander Zuo for a reward for everyone!"
If everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, and refuses to advance in fear of the enemy when they see the rebel army, they will all be blamed by Commander Zuo after they return!Did you hear everything clearly? ! "

"Listen clearly!"

More than a dozen cavalry generals agreed together. Although it was not very neat, their voices were still loud.

Ma Jinzhong nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand while riding on his horse, and said, "Let's go!"

This habit of shouting "Let's go!" at the front of the team was developed when he was a peasant soldier.

He was originally one of the leaders of the Shaanxi Peasant Army who rebelled in the early years of Chongzhen, and was nicknamed "Hun Shiwan".

In the tenth year of Chongzhen's reign, the future of the peasant army was bleak, and he was chased by Zuo Liangyu to an almost desperate situation. He surrendered under Xiong Wencan's solicitation and became affiliated with Zuo Liangyu's tribe from then on.

He is not a direct subordinate of Zuo Liangyu, but an affiliated military commander, who has certain autonomy over the troops under his command.Of course, the treatment on weekdays is not as good as that of Zuo Liangyu's direct troops.

Because the Shaanxi peasant army had many mules and horses back then, he now has more than 800 cavalry under his command.

They are not elite riders - there are those who ride war horses, inferior horses, and mules.

But among the many generals attached to Zuo Liangyu, they are already among the top ten troops in combat power.

Just like that, Zuo Liangyu asked him to lead more than 3000 miscellaneous cavalry to rescue the fierce tiger - what is miscellaneous cavalry?Not only because the cavalrymen had war horses, inferior horses, and mules, but also because the composition of the troops was mixed.

More than 3000 cavalry, belonging to more than a dozen different generals.The ones with the most troops have hundreds of riders under their command, while the ones with the few have only over 100 riders under their command.

Ma Jinzhong knew that such a "rabble" could only fight with the wind, so he said those words before setting off, so that the soldiers in each department could have more strength when fighting.

Perhaps they knew that they had to deal with more than 3000 thieves and cavalry this time, and the other party was still fighting Qin soldiers who were as fierce as tigers, so the morale of the cavalry was quite high.

They advanced all the way and did not skimp on their horsepower. In less than half an hour, a scout horse came back from the front to report that they had encountered a traitor army.

'There's still ten or twenty miles away from Wadian right now, right?The bandit army actually threw Tan Ma back so far? '

Ma Jinzhong was a little confused and felt something was wrong.

But he did not inform the generals.

Because he is well aware of the virtues of these generals - if he tells them that there may be danger ahead, the speed of the team will be instantly slowed down to the extreme. Even if someone leads the team to loot the surrounding villages and forgets about the military mission, it will be possible.

So Ma Jinzhong pretended that nothing was wrong and continued to move forward with more than 3000 miscellaneous riders.

As he encountered more and more thieves probing horses, Ma Jinzhong knew he had to have an explanation.

Then he laughed loudly and said: "It seems that the bandit army is probably fighting with the fierce tiger tribe not far away! Maybe the quotas are just in time to defeat the bandit army in one fell swoop and win a complete victory!"

"it is good!"

All the soldiers shouted excitedly and accelerated their advance.

Soon, there was smoke and dust in the sky that could only be brought up by a large group of cavalry marching!

At this time, the generals finally realized that something was wrong.

"Are these thieves sent to intercept us? Look at this formation, there are at least 3000 to [-] people, right?"

"Didn't I say that the bandit army only has more than 3000 horsemen, and they are still fighting against the fierce tiger tribe? How can they separate two to three thousand horsemen to intercept us?"

"It's not like Fierce Tiger has already been defeated, right?"

"How is that possible! It's not unknown to everyone that Meng Ruhu and his frontier troops are capable of fighting. Even if the rebel army can defeat Meng Ruhu, there will definitely be a lot of casualties..."

Seeing the fluctuations in the hearts of all the troops, Ma Jinzhong had to cheer up again.

"Don't let the bandit cavalry scare you! Maybe they just don't have many horses! They may even be fighting against the fierce tigers at the most critical moment, and then they allocate most of their troops to stop them!

Now they are already two miles away. If we run away, we will only be defeated.If you give them a try, you might win a big victory! "

None of the cavalrymen paid attention to maintaining the strength of their horses before. It was really not a good choice to escape from this distance, and it was not easy to explain when they returned.

So under Ma Jinzhong's greeting, he bravely rushed towards the Yibu cavalry on the opposite side.

At a distance of two miles, the cavalry from both sides clashed, and they almost met each other in less than 3 minutes.

What none of the cavalrymen expected was that instead of shooting arrows from a few dozen steps away, the Yi cavalry on the other side threw something over.

'You don't want to stone us to death, do you? '

Just when someone was thinking this, the sharp-eyed person had clearly seen what was thrown at him and immediately exclaimed.

"Enemy of all people!"

For a time, countless Ming cavalrymen reined in their horses in panic.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. More than 100 grenades thrown by the Yibu cavalry exploded one after another, and the hundreds of Ming army cavalry who were rushing to the front suddenly fell over!
　First more.
