Chapter 87: The intruders entered Henan, and the rebels came out again

A tall, thin, middle-aged man wearing a Fan Yangli and a long beard walked into Dangzikouguan Village on horseback.

The horses' hooves made a pitter-patter sound when they stepped on the streams and puddles formed by blood.

Soon, a bearded man covered in blood came over with a knife, wiped the blood and Han water on his face, gave a rough fist-cup salute to the middle-aged man, and said: "King Chuang, the officers and soldiers have been killed." , not one got away."

"Okay." Li Zicheng nodded, got off the horse, patted Liu Zongmin on the shoulder, and asked, "Are you injured?"

Liu Zongmin grinned, his face stained red with blood like an evil ghost, "I have two layers of armor on my forehead, these officers and soldiers can't hurt my forehead."

Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Then go wash up and rest quickly."

Liu Zongmin said: "It's just a small battle, why should we rest? The commander of the stronghold actually brought his family with him to put out the fire."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Li Zicheng looked a little helpless, but with a smile on his face, he obviously didn't care about Liu Zongmin's behavior.

As early as the seventh year of Chongzhen, Liu Zongmin followed him in various battles and made countless contributions.

The year before last, Tongguan Nanyuan was defeated. He fled into Shangluo Mountain with his seventeen cavalry, and almost failed to recover.

Liu Zongmin first worked with Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang and others to help him collect the defeated troops, break through several mountain strongholds and expand his team.

Then he picked up the skill of blacksmithing and took a few blacksmiths to make armor and help him arm his team.

A month or two ago, he took more than a thousand people accumulated in the past two years out of Shangluoshan and headed southwest into Sichuan, hoping to join Zhang Xianzhong.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the Brazilian (Fengjie) area, they were besieged by the army in Yubeli Mountain.

At that time, there were only a few hundred soldiers in the team who could fight. Most of the remaining soldiers were family members and weak soldiers, and the army's food and grass could not last more than a few days.

Such a situation can be described as extremely dangerous.

At the critical moment, Liu Zongmin resolutely killed the wives and concubines he had married in Shangluo Mountain, and vowed to live and die with him, in order to inspire military morale.

Afterwards, they burned their baggage, abandoned their women, children, and weak soldiers, and broke through the siege of the official army with light cavalry, heading north to southern Shaanxi, and then turned east. Only then did they get rid of the elite pursuit of the official army and entered Yunyang Mansion.

Although Yunyang has many fleeing people and bandits, it is still surrounded by mountains and forests, with few people and little food. It is easy for them to be besieged and killed by the army.

After discussing with Liu Zongmin and other generals, Li Zicheng prepared to go to Henan - he had grown his team in Henan back then, and now that he was fighting in the world again, he naturally thought of Henan again.

They followed the Canglang River (the main tributary of the upper reaches of the Han River) eastward, killing all the passes where officers and soldiers were stationed, and gathering bandits and hungry people. Today they finally broke through the last pass leading to Henan.

Seeing that he was about to enter the land of Zhongzhou and do big things, Li Zicheng was naturally very tolerant of Liu Zongmin, a great hero and capable general.

After Liu Zongmin left, Li Zicheng said to a young general who was following behind him: "Fang Liang, I know that each team will hold the flag and repair it for a day, and tomorrow we will go up the Hebei to Xichuan!"

"Yes!"

···
Dashui Pingzhai.

The military camp was once the official office of hundreds of households.

Liu Sheng, Hong Niangzi, Wen You, and Peng Youyi were listening to a post-war statistical report by three military and political officials.

An Jun, who was responsible for the statistics of prisoners and executions, said: "A total of 753 officers and soldiers were captured today, among whom the highest-ranking person was Chen Gui, the commander-in-chief of the auxiliary army.

As for the number of servants, combat soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers among them, it has not yet been determined.

In addition, 417 Xiangyong were captured. Students asked, and they all came from the surrounding areas of Queshan County.Among them, the one with the highest position is Queshan Dianshi Luo Huaiyu.

In addition, 215 officers and soldiers were beheaded on the spot, and only 127 Xiangyong were beheaded on the spot. "

Liu Sheng participated in almost all the battles on the east and west sides, so he was not surprised by this data.

During the battle, it seemed that many officers, soldiers, and warriors were shot and chopped down, but most of them were injured, and not many died on the spot.

After An Jun finished speaking, Liu Sheng asked: "How many are the lightly or seriously injured prisoners among the prisoners? Can someone be arranged to deal with their injuries?"

“There were 89 seriously wounded officers and soldiers and 378 lightly wounded. Xiangyong captured 35 seriously wounded and 108 lightly wounded.

At present, they are only given simple bandages to stop the bleeding, but no medicine is given. "

Liu Sheng nodded and didn't ask why he didn't apply the medicine.

The rebels may not have enough herbs, so how can they take care of the prisoners?
At least wait until all the wounded rebels have been given medicine before giving medicine to the prisoners.

As for the number of casualties of the rebels, Liu Sheng knew it when he just came back.Twenty-seven men were killed, all in the standing army.

19 people were seriously injured, 15 from the standing army and four from the pro-army.

There were even more minor injuries, 136 of them, but a small number of them were injured by falling while chasing the officers and soldiers.

Most of the lightly wounded can still maintain combat effectiveness, so battle losses are only counted as killed and seriously wounded.

In general, the Huabu defeated 1600 officers and soldiers, 1000 local warriors, and 500 civilians in this second counter-suppression campaign. It suffered only 46 casualties, which was almost a complete victory!
Then Wang Dalu stood up and said: "A total of 675 waist knives, 1012 spears, 410 shields, 155 bows, and 2330 usable arrows were seized this time!
In addition, three pairs of chainmails, seven iron helmets, a total of 138 pairs of cloth armor and leather armor, and 305 pairs of cloth armor were seized! "

Sun Qifai finally came out and said: "This time we seized about 210 shi of rice, flour and rations, 5 horses, and a total of 53 mules and donkeys.

In addition, 1135 taels of silver and 1800 copper coins were seized. "

After several reorganizations and trainings, although the rebels now do not have a strict system of returning everything captured to the public, they do have strict orders. When engaging the enemy, they are not allowed to search for corpses or gold and silver on the road. Instead, the team that cleans the battlefield is Specifically responsible.

This can not only prevent the rebel soldiers from being killed by the enemy for collecting gold and silver during the battle, or even turn victory into defeat, but also increase the rebel army's battle capture.

Of course, human nature is greedy. If this system is to be implemented well, strict discipline and more training must be implemented in the military.

After listening to the post-war statistical report of the three military and political officials, Liu Sheng said: "I have interrogated that Queshan Dianshi and the auxiliary commander.

According to the information they provided, in this battle, we can say that most of the officers and soldiers sent by the Ming government were eliminated.

Even if Wang Yingtai escaped from Tianmu Mountain, he would probably be able to gather only three to four hundred officers and soldiers.

Under such circumstances, there is a high probability that he will flee back to Fucheng in a hurry and will not be able to come to Tianmu Mountain again in a short time.

Even if Fucheng could send more troops, it would probably take ten and a half days at the earliest, or even longer.

As for Queshan Xiangyong, although most of them escaped, they were already discouraged.

Moreover, Luo Huaiyu, the classics official, was captured by us. After Xiangyong escaped from the mountains, he would inevitably return to his hometown in various directions, and it would be difficult to gather them again.

This means that for a considerable period of time, there will be no hostile armed forces that can threaten us in Queshan County.

We can definitely take this opportunity to visit a few more market towns, or even visit Queshan County.

According to what Naluo Huaiyu said, there are many hungry people gathered near the county seat, which is suitable for us to immigrate again and increase the population of China. "

After listening to Liu Sheng's words, Peng Youyi immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said: "My subordinate is willing to lead the troops as a vanguard and go to the county seat!"

Liu Sheng saw that the red lady was also looking over and said: "I have already thought about it. Tomorrow I will lead some of the five brigades of the pro-army and fishing and hunting groups, as well as the four led by Wen You, Peng Youyi, Liu Erhe and Zheng Erli. The standing troops came out of the mountain and headed for Queshan County.

However, we will borrow food from market towns near this road and establish a refugee reception point.

Although I expected that Wang Yingtai would flee back to Fucheng after leaving the mountain, there was no guarantee that he would not hide near Tianmu Mountain and kill us while we were gone.

Therefore, Dashui Pingzhai still needs you, Red Lady, to lead the two-post standing army. "

The defeat of the three thousand officers and soldiers led by Wang Yingtai was indeed a rare opportunity for the Huabu rebels.

Therefore, this time Liu Sheng will take 1000 people away to do something big in Queshan County.

As for Liujiazhai, it is planned to leave only one standing army post, one hunting brigade (40 people), and [-] pro-troops to guard it.

Here in the big water bottle, naturally let the red lady take charge.

The Red Lady really wanted to follow Liu Sheng on this trip to the mountains, but she also understood that capable people must be left in charge of the Dashui Ping Village. If something unexpected happened, the Liu Family Village would also need to be taken care of.

Therefore, after listening to Liu Sheng's words, she stood up with Peng Youyi and others, clasped her fists at Liu Sheng and said, "Yes!"

···
While Liu Sheng, Hong Niangzi and others were making post-war summaries and plans for the rebels to come out, Wang Yingtai had already fled to Gaolaozhuang, nearly [-] miles away, with his gathered three to four hundred officers and soldiers.

This was several times faster than their marching speed when they arrived.

After the last time the rebels "borrowed food", the villagers in the villages and fortresses around Tianmu Mountain became even more vigilant.

Seeing hundreds of officers and soldiers coming, dressed like bandits, they were so frightened that they closed the gate of the village and sounded the gong as a warning.

Wang Yingtai and others were thirsty and hungry, so they immediately asked someone to call the door.

"Open the door quickly! Our generals want to go into the village to rest!"
