Win the Ding 1617

On the mountain road more than 30 miles east of Zhujunping, an army of tens of thousands of people is marching meanderingly.Different from the marching methods of other Ming army units, most of the forwards of this unit wore tattered peasant clothes, various weapons and less armor, and only a few officers had relatively sophisticated equipment.But the morale and military appearance are quite strict and high.

After the vanguard of thousands of people passed, the equipment and clothing of the army began to tidy up.

The Chinese army brigade of nearly 1 people has a well-armed battle, a clear banner, and a neat military appearance.In the middle of the team, there are many veterans in their 40s and [-]s who serve as officers such as the small flag, the general flag, and the general.Most of the troops in this army used spears.The spears that are several meters long all use the one-meter-long Sangmen gun spear head with a hook ring on the rear of the spear shaft. These spears are all ash wood poles, without the flashy decorations that are common in the Ming army.

Because this army once participated in one of the three major expeditions during the Wanli period to conquer the Yang Yinglong rebellion in Bozhou. Since the early years of Tianqi, it has participated in the war against the Qing soldiers inside and outside the Great Wall, and also participated in the war against She Chongming, so it is famous all over the country. , known as white pole soldiers.

Its commander-in-chief is the one marked on the banner, the envoy of Shizhu Xuanfu, the commander-in-chief with the title of governor, and the second-rank crown uniform, the real female general Qin Liangyu.

The Chinese army stopped marching and began to build a camp based on the mountainous terrain. Soon, a heavily guarded camp with complete refusal and trenches began to take shape. There was no noise in the camp, and there were officers leading soldiers in the temporary school grounds. I'm practicing hard.

At the end of a long road is Qin Liangyu's Chinese army tent, and on both sides of the road are the quarters of the battalions and sentries.Hanging in the middle of the big tent is a pair of "Zhongtang" written by herself on gold-orange-red calendered wax paper. It is mounted with full silk and fine craftsmanship, and the two ends of the pendant are inlaid with jade nanmu shafts. It is written in Gongkai in the second year of Chongzhen. One of the four imperial poems given to her by Emperor Chongzhen: "Shu brocade robes are made by hand, and peach blossoms will immediately ask for long tassels. There are so many strange men in the world, who is willing to travel thousands of miles in the battlefield?"

Around and inside the big tent, dozens of male and female soldiers under the command of Shizhu Xuanfu envoys stood in silence with guns and knives.However, Qin Liangyu, the owner of the big tent, was not in the camp.

Qin Liangyu followed the original march plan.It takes a day to come to Zhujunping.At noon yesterday, when she learned that Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were attacking Zhang Ling together, she was deeply afraid that Zhang Ling would be brave and foolish and underestimate the enemy and be defeated.So regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers who marched for several days, they urged to hurry.She herself was in the Chinese army supervisor, and because she estimated that Zhang Ling might not be able to resist going out to fight today, she was definitely not the opponent of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, who were full of tricks and tricks, so she led hundreds of standard battalions to the front team to help Zhang Ling. Even at noon, he didn't ask the people to stop and sharpen.

About less than five miles away from Zhujunping, Qin Liangyu got a report that Zhang Ling had been killed and Zhujunping had fallen.She was taken aback.Immediately ordered the troops to stop on the spot, and the whole team was on standby, ready to face the battle.She took a group of soldiers and a few relatives, Le Ma, up to the high hill to look out, and she saw a group of broken soldiers who had escaped from Zhujunping running along the road.The rest scattered, and some were killed by Zhang Xianzhong's pursuers.She understood that Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai would surely take advantage of the victory and move forward.With an unstoppable momentum, he charged at her troops.Under the current circumstances, she should withdraw her troops quickly, occupy a dangerous place, set up a camp, and defend to the death to avoid the enemy's spirit.She tried to counterattack again, but she also understood that if she gave the order to retreat, her troops would easily panic and flee immediately after being chased by Zhang and Luo's cavalry, and it was out of control.So this method only flashed in her mind and was not adopted.She used the second method: to form an array in place to meet the enemy.Gain time to allow the rear army to occupy the dangerous terrain and establish a strong camp.So she immediately galloped down from the high hillock, relying on the same place to form a formation, and at the same time passed an order of one hundred thousand urgent generals to the rear team, ordering them to come for reinforcements with 3000 troops.The rest of the army went to the stronghold in danger.

She thought that the safety of Sichuan and whether she could maintain her reputation throughout her life depended on this battle, so although she was shocked in her heart, she tried her best to maintain her majesty and calmness. Immediately before the battle, she said to the soldiers on the left and right: "Everyone must fight to the death. We will defend this place immediately. It's the guard of the house. After this step, the bandits will kill us at the door." She also ordered these two sentences to be known to all the soldiers.

Although the Shijie soldiers are well-known throughout the country, they are not as rigorously trained as Qi's soldiers. They mainly rely on the blood relationship between Tujia people and the personal attachment relationship of slaves to their masters to form an army, and they rely on savagery and courage in combat.It was impossible for them to stand firm in the relatively open hilly area here and resist Zhang and Luo's cavalry charge, not to mention that the soldiers had already treated Zhang Xianzhong since the defeat of the army at Tutu Ridge and the death of Huguang Lieutenant General Wang Yunfeng. Feeling scared, seeing the fall of Zhujunping with his own eyes, and hearing that the famous Sichuan general Zhang Ling was killed in battle, he became more and more panicked.Qin Liangyu also saw that all the soldiers were timid, so he issued a strict order: "After taking the battle, anyone who takes a step back will be killed!" She repeated the words "guarding here is guarding the home", telling everyone to remember it.

"The governor ordered again! Anyone who kills a thief, his clothes, property, weapons and armor will belong to him! Others are not allowed to steal it! Anyone who violates the order, beheaded!"

This series of orders inspired the morale and courage of the former army.Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai entered Sichuan from Huguang, attacked the city and broke the village all the way, and captured a lot.These white-armed soldiers have long heard that the rogues in Xiying and Caoying are all rich in money, and now the governor has grace, as long as he kills the rogues, all his property, clothes, armor, weapons and horses will belong to the killer , This made the white soldiers who were born in the poor land of Shizhu all shine.

Although Qin Liangyu has opened mines in Shizhu in the past few years, collected herbs and hunted, developed production, reorganized the army, and built the embankment of Nanbin City, so that the people under him can live and work in peace and contentment.However, on the one hand, the products obtained from mining, hunting and gathering must be transported to Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing, and then shipped to Yueyang or Wuchang, Xiangyang, Shashi and other wharves, in exchange for the weapons and armor that the white-armed soldiers urgently need. Soldiers are constantly training.In this way, the lives of ordinary people in Shizhu can be imagined.

Among Qin Liangyu's few orders, other beheading orders are fine, but this order of beheading someone who embezzles other people's military achievements has received the response of the whole army. The huge hedgehog opened its sharp spines.

When the formation was not long, there was a loud and noisy cry of panic and misery in the distance.In a blink of an eye, about [-] broken soldiers who escaped from Zhujunping arrived.

Although there were only two or three hundred cavalry under Zhang Dingguo and Cao Cao shouting for pursuit, the peasants, soldiers and horses in the brigade were still searching for remnants of defeated soldiers near Zhang Ling's camp in Zhujunping, collecting horses, weapons and property, and had no intention of pursuing them.But these about [-] rout soldiers discarded their weapons along the way.Dare not turn back and resist.

In fear, countless people only knew how to run as hard as they could. After running for several miles, many people even lost their straw sandals.He spit out white scum, but he still couldn't care less about running with all his might.

Suddenly they saw the army formation ahead, and saw that the banner was Daming's army, they roared with joy and ran towards the army formation.

But they forgot that it is a big taboo for the rout to rush towards the army formation.According to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, attacking the army formation head-on is a capital offense and can be killed on the spot.

Among the white pole barracks.A cold voice came out from among the densely packed long spears: "My family's governor has an order! All soldiers under Zhang Zongbing who are defeated must first hand over their weapons, kneel down on the spot, and get off their horses if they have horses. Get down on the ground!"

One of Zhang Ling's subordinates seemed to be dressed as a general or a guerrilla general.Leading dozens of servants by his side, he roared loudly at the white-armed soldiers behind the densely inserted spears: "I hate you! I am a guerrilla of the Ming Dynasty. I have been fighting for decades. What right does that old widow surnamed Ma have to confiscate Lao Tzu's weapons and horses? Let Lao Tzu get out of the way, and I want to go to that old widow Qin Liangyu to argue with her!"

"The defeated general dares to insult the Shangguan. Kill!" A cold order was passed from the crowd, and a dozen spears were handed out, and the guerrilla immediately had more than a dozen blood holes on his body.The rest of the soldiers immediately became silent.He didn't dare to say more, so he had to hand over the armor, weapons and horses honestly, while he was tied up by the white soldiers and dragged to the back of the formation to take care of him.

The simplest method is the most direct, and thunderous means like white soldiers immediately stabilized the situation.When the two or three hundred cavalry rushed to the front, they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows, and the crossbowmen shot fiercely.It was stabbed by long spears as thick as a forest, and dozens of cavalry were stabbed and fell off their horses.

The victory of this small contact battle at the outpost immediately boosted the morale of the white soldiers. Seeing that the more than 200 cavalry who were chasing after the officers and soldiers just now turned their horses and fled, they couldn't help shouting in unison.But he didn't chase after him.

"The governor's grace, the vanguard soldiers have made great achievements in killing the enemy, beheaded the rogue, and rewarded the rogue with horses, armor, clothing, property and weapons. The rest of the combatants will all be rewarded!" At such a time, the old lady Qin Liangyu will naturally not be stingy with rewards, let alone She didn't have to pay for these rewards herself, so naturally two people surnamed Zhang paid for her.

After receiving the reward, the mood of the white soldier immediately changed again.Those who received the reward touched their clothes, armor and silver around their waists and just grinned. Those who were not so lucky, only regretted that there were fewer thieves.

However, in the blink of an eye, under the banner of the Eight Great Kings of Xiying and Luo Rucai of Caoying, the cavalry of the brigade rushed to the mountain road where the two hills were sandwiched between the two hills like a raging tide.

Qin Liangyu knew at this moment that the central army and the rear army had already chosen the dangerous terrain to build camps in the rear, so he relaxed a little at the moment, and immediately ordered the 3000 troops from the rear army who came to reinforce them to go up the mountain immediately, and occupy the two hills that were facing each other. It is dangerous, and they can help each other, and they can even be condescending, controlling the road to the west, so that the rebels can't drive forward for a long time, so that the rear team can arrange the camp firmly.

She summoned the generals to stand in front of them, assigning tasks and pointing out strategies for everyone.In fact, the white pole soldiers and the Eight Banners soldiers are quite similar to a large extent, and they are all organized by the chieftains based on family blood relatives and in-laws.The vast majority of its officers and generals at all levels are family members and relatives of the Ma and Qin families.

"The leader of this bandit is Zhang Kewang, the adopted son of the thief from the banner. This thief is as fierce and cunning as the thief in battle. We must not be careless. Just rely on the terrain to kill and wound the thief. Do not chase easily, in case you get caught by the thief Treacherous plan, repeat Zhang Ling's mistakes."

In the face of the old lady Qin Liangyu's tactics of only defending and not attacking, Zhang Kewang was beaten to death.The old lady Qin's tactical thinking of not seeking merit but seeking no fault made Zhang Kewang leave at least dozens of soldiers dead every time he attacked.For such a tactic, even the later King Sun Kewang of Qin, even though he was known for his bravery, cunning, composure and fickle "a wall", he was helpless.

The burly Zhang Kewang was wearing a three-layer heavy armor that was rarely seen in the peasant army. Chain mail, cotton armor, and Nanman armor made his figure even bigger and bigger.He reined in the horse's reins almost in front of Zhang Xianzhong's big tent, and rushed into the big tent with a few steps, his face was full of ferocity except for the sweat.A feathered arrow on the shoulder is still inserted obliquely, if it weren't for the three-layer armor protection.I'm afraid this arrow will turn him into the second Zhang Ling.

"Father Commander! Cao Commander! That old lady of Qin Liangyu is a turtle who can't get out of her hole! She defended the hills and roads, and kept sending her white soldiers up in turn to fight our brothers! Our brothers in the rebel army fought several times in a row My God, this old woman is playing tricks and waiting for work, she is really cheating!"

Zhang Ling's camp in Zhujunping was already the camp of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai.This battle.In one fell swoop, Zhang Ling, a veteran of the Sichuan Army, was overthrown, and the morale of the Sichuan Army was brought down to the bottom. Not to mention, Xiying and Caoying also captured thousands of Sichuan troops, and captured countless grain, grass and horses.

Not to mention the opening of the road to the east of Sichuan, the men and horses of Meng Ruhu and Zuo Liangyu who followed behind him in the past also stopped in place.How could this not please Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao?

"I heard that Yang Sichang, a superintendent with a salty taste, has stored a lot of food and grass in Chongqing Mansion, and it's all for our father!"

"That's right! Brothers break through the road, go straight to Chongqing Mansion, go out of Kuimen along the river, and go straight to Huguang for a stroll!"

There are several pots of charcoal fire in the big tent.Warm as spring, a scene of singing and dancing.The aroma of wine and meat was constantly wafting outward, and several groups of female musicians kept playing, singing and dancing.Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons, Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu, Zhang Nengqi, and generals such as Bai Wenxuan, Ma Yuanli, Feng Shuangli, and Cao Cao's direct generals Wang Long, Sun Chengzu, Yang Shengzu and others also had a drink and chatted happily.Overjoyed.

If Zhang Kewang hadn't brought such unfavorable news, I'm afraid the happy atmosphere in the tent would continue for a long time.

"Jingxuan," Luo Rucai called Zhang Xianzhong. He was resourceful among the peasant army, nicknamed Cao Cao, and he was tactful and good at coordinating the relations between various ministries.After conquering the city, the children's property is also willing to share equally, so many peasant army leaders like to cooperate with them.From Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang in the early days to later Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng had good cooperation with him and fought many remarkable battles.Historians once called him the soul of the peasant army.

He wants to give Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Kewang a step down.

"Mao Tang and Ning Yu, nephews, have been fighting hard for several days, and sometimes the troops are exhausted! This time, I will look at the soldiers of Cao Ying! Wang Long! Yang Chengzu! You two immediately go to recruit troops. Follow me to the Go ahead, our old Cao wants to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed figure this old lady Qin is!"

Seeing Qin Liangyu's position, even though Cao Cao has fought from north to south for many years, he has also fought against countless famous generals among the officers and soldiers, but this is the first time he has encountered such a formation.

There is a team of about 2000 people on the front of the mountain road.The mountain road, which was not considered wide, was filled with a series of white wax spears. In front of the mountain road, there were more than a dozen wounded and surviving war horses, still struggling in vain in the pool of blood. The owner of the horses was beheaded. He lost his head, leaving only his naked body on the mountain road.Presumably, the head and the armor and belongings on his body were taken by the white soldiers as trophies.

On the hills on both sides, there is a flag of a guerrilla general fluttering in the forest, and about 600 people lined up on the hills.

"Father Commander! Cao Commander! You see, once we attack, as long as we engage with the frontal white soldiers, the troops on both sides will rush down the mountain to attack our two wings. No matter how brave the brothers are, we will face the three-way attack. He is also hard to beat with four hands!"

Moreover, Qin Liangyu built a camp behind the mountain road. In order to maintain the strong fighting spirit and physical strength of the officers and soldiers, the old lady Qin ordered that the troops on the hills on both sides immediately take over the defense of the troops on the mountain road after rushing down from the mountain, and confront the peasant army. Other troops went up the mountain to take over their defense, and the troops who were originally defending on the mountain road withdrew to the camp to rest.In this cycle, when Zhang Kewang attacked, he always faced white soldiers who were full of energy and eager to fight. In addition, the mountain road was narrow, and the cavalry of the peasant army could not use their own speed to charge. Is there any reason not to suffer?

"Jingxuan! Why don't we call up our pikemen too! Let's fight pikemen with pikemen, and see if our soldiers are stronger or his white-armed soldiers from Qin Liangyu are more ruthless!"

"Commander! Commander Cao!" Zhang Xianzhong's generals, Ma Wu, the king of the world, and Wang Xingguo, the three kites, reined in the horse's reins panting, "Brothers riding on the side horses, please follow our fierce tiger and Zuo Liangyu. The dog suddenly accelerated the marching speed, presumably because he learned that we were blocked by Qin Liangyu at Zhujunping, and wanted to take advantage of it!"

"Donkey ball! The nose is really good! It's my old Zhang's idea!"

In the white barracks camp behind the mountain, Qin Liangyu, who had just received official documents and private letters from Governor Shao Jiechun, spoke with his fellow generals, her voice trembling with excitement, her eyes filled with tears, and she waved two documents. Her gray temples were particularly dazzling in the light, making her daughter-in-law Ma Fengyi's eyes moist.

Governor Shao's letter was written very humbly and politely. In the letter, he not only expressed his appreciation and admiration for Dudu Qin's behavior of visiting the front enemy without fear of Shishi in order to defend his hometown in his sixtieth year, but also patted his chest to Dudu Qin. The military pay and food for the ten thousand white soldiers have already been shipped from Chongqing, and "it will arrive within three to five days!" In addition, Governor Shao even informed Qin Liangyu that in order to complete his work, he had already pleaded with Governor Yang to level the bandit general Zuo Liang. The Yubu and Zongbing are fierce as tigers plagiarized and suppressed from the rear of the thieves, and transferred the Wu Biao, a model brigade who is currently training and replenishing in Chongqing, galloping starry night, as the backup of the white soldiers.

"The governor will definitely be able to fight this battle and return the elders in Sichuan to a clear future!"
