Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 50

As expected, before dawn, the spies had already received the news that the brave people from the counties and counties near Dezhou began to gather towards Dezhou City. This must have been ordered by someone. So consistent and bold.

At this time, the army going north was led by Yu Song. After being treated by Wang Chengen and imparting internal strength, Yu Song's aura became more and more fierce and cold, so that many soldiers would feel a chilly air when they approached him. .

It was precisely because Zhu Gan saw his coldness that he sent him north to the Hejian Mansion, not only to cheer up the White Lotus Sect, but also to reduce stress and prevent the White Lotus Sect from being wiped out too quickly, but also to prevent the red-clothed army Influenced by the White Lotus Sect, after all, Zhu Gan must have a reliable and prestigious person to testify, so that Zhu Gan can let people go north with confidence.

Zhu Gan gave Yu Song the right to act cheaply temporarily, but there was one rule: as soon as the messenger arrived, no matter whether he was besieging the city or being besieged, he must break out of the encirclement and go south immediately under any circumstances.

Although Yu Song is a bit more aggressive, his style of action is very stable. Every time he goes forward, he will check in advance, and he will try to avoid those cities that are rich in food and have heavy troops. Such a steady and steady journey to the north, countless folds of urgent reports were also sent to the capital like snowflakes, but Ming Ting was very passive.

I am very afraid that this army and the White Lotus Sect will be extremely destructive. While urging the three major battalions of the capital to wipe out the White Lotus Sect, they took the opportunity to ask Empress Yi'an to dispatch the newly formed [-]th Regiment Battalion. Only this army After leaving the capital, or being inserted into the relevant lineage by them, the princes of the imperial court will feel peace in their hearts.

At this time, there is insufficient food in the city, and the impact of the occupation of Dezhou has been revealed, and she has mastered most of the food. It is the time when the authority is at its peak, so it is natural to suppress these urgent reports and wait for Lu Xiangsheng to join forces with the Red Clothes Army. result of the battle.

At this time, the White Lotus Sect was completely reduced to thieves, running around, and their previous behavior of massacring the city as soon as they broke the city had already spread throughout the north. For his own safety, he will definitely go to the city to help defend the city. <>

Under such circumstances, it becomes very difficult for the White Lotus Sect to obtain food or weapons. The consequence is to take down a city, causing heavy casualties. Then, in order to vent their anger, they will definitely massacre the city again. The North survives.

When they learned that the [-] soldiers of the Red Army were going north, the two guardians of the White Lotus Sect were happy for a while, and they also started to flee south, wanting to join them, but once they had a goal, they stopped running around. , The encirclement and suppression by the government has also become purposeful.

Only then did the Bailian Sect realize that they were struggling, and what made the protectors even more outrageous was that these red-clothed soldiers suddenly turned around and went south. Several people in the church hated Zhu Gan more and more deeply.

When they came back to their senses, they realized that they had unknowingly got into the pockets tied by the official army, and the official army was preparing to encircle them and wipe them out.

What scares them even more is that there is an extra cavalry unit in the official army, rarely less than 1000 people, but these 1000 people have a famous name, Guanning Iron Cavalry, led by Cao Wenzhao's nephew Cao Bianjiao, obviously Wu The main force of the Guanning iron cavalry led by Xiang has arrived at the Xuanfu, and the Ming court can take care of these thieves.

The guardians and god generals of the Bailian Sect also knew that their doom was not far away. Confronting Guan Ning's iron cavalry would be tantamount to courting death, and they all began to look for their own way out.

At this time, the city of Dezhou was in full swing. Zhu Gan didn't think about defending the city, but sent troops to attack everywhere to wipe out these temporarily formed militias. The blade is getting sharper and sharper. At this time, he has returned to the city to rest and prepare for the next big battle.

At this time, Zhu Qian and Lu Xiangsheng seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and the two sides were constantly probing and looking for each other's flaws.

Zhu Gan discovered Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army. Although they had this name, most of them were not his direct descendants. There were five hundred pacesetters from Yunzhen, five hundred Mao soldiers recruited by Jiang Yunyi, and six hundred stone pillar soldiers from Zhou Shifeng. There were [-] famous soldiers in Ji, and Deng Qi's [-] Sichuan soldiers. Except for Deng Qi's [-] Sichuan soldiers, the rest can be regarded as mobs.

But Zhu Gan didn't dare to underestimate him. After all, the leader of the army was Lu Xiangsheng, a fierce man who could turn sheep into tigers.

And Lu Xiangsheng, through the temptations of the brave men in front of him, and the continuous investigation of the spies, also found out the details of Zhu Gan. Just as he speculated, the 5000 red-clothed troops went north and turned around quickly. There are only a little more than 1 red-clothed soldiers in Dezhou City, and there is no news of the red-clothed soldiers from Jiangnan, and there is another fleet of more than [-] people who are hidden somewhere.

Judging from Zhu Gan's actions, it seems that he has no intention of defending the city, but is constantly honing the cavalry. It seems that he has plans to fight with himself in the field, and wants to determine the outcome in one battle.

It seems that the anti-thief leader is a decisive person, which is exactly what he wants. He defeated the five thousand cavalry before the red-clothed army that went north turned around. Different from ordinary bandits, their combat effectiveness is not based on the elites who are plundered by gun-yin and won over with money, but have their own fighting spirit. This kind of army is very terrifying.

Feeling apprehensive, the 1-day army quickly approached Dezhou City, and he had to fight the Red Army, because once such an army reached Dezhou City, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

In the mist, you can see the red blood sword flag floating on the city of Dezhou. They camped three miles away and rested for a night. Today will be the time for the decisive battle. The red army did not come to harass this night The battalion obviously had the same plan, to have a good night's rest and wait for the decisive battle after dawn.

Lu Xiangsheng knew where the combat power of an army came from, and those who were in the same position would win, but the army in front of him was obviously very strange, so he, who never mobilized before a battle, couldn't help but want to say something.

"We fight together. I am not your food and clothing parent, because it is all given by the imperial court, but we eat the king's salary to prevent the king's worries. Today we fight, no matter whether we win or lose, our name will surely go down in history, so that future generations Remember, and I will always be before you."

After saying these words, Lu Xianggao raised the Guan Dao in his hand, obviously going all out, got on his horse and led the people out of the camp slowly, approaching Dezhou City.

Standing at the top of the city, Zhu Gan looked at the officers and soldiers approaching from a distance. His heart was peaceful, and he was about to face King Lu Yan. It seemed that he had already taken the first step in his struggle for world hegemony.

After leaving the city, he walked up to the crowd and said in a cold voice: "Now that the imperial court is so corrupt, with natural disasters, wars and smoldering fires everywhere, and mourning everywhere, what are we going to do?"

The red-clothed army then shouted: "Overthrow him and establish a new country. We can have enough to eat, and then we will let others have enough to eat."

The voices were chaotic, but gradually converged into one piece. Zhu Qian closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment before the battle. The roaring sound was like a landslide and tsunami. This was the high morale.

Boom!Boom...

The sound of the drums on the top of the city became more and more urgent, echoing in the plain, the two sides spread out, and the horse also felt the oppressive atmosphere, and the horse's hooves kept pawing the ground.

Zhu Gan took the lead and shouted loudly: "Make meritorious deeds, just today, kill!"

The red-clothed army will really be tempered by the first fire, either disabled or reborn from the ashes. The red-clothed army runs faster and faster. With the resonance, the whole earth seems to be shaking.

The Tianxiong army didn't have enough horses to make a large-scale charge, so Lu Xiang raised Qi Jiguang's chariot formation, and hit the red-clothed army head-on, beating Zhu Gan dizzy, watching him charge but The red-clothed army, who was unable to fight back effectively at all, was knocked down by the soldiers' Flang machine guns continuously, and Zhu Gan felt uncomfortable for a while.

Shouted: "Score!"

Immediately afterwards, the red-clothed army quickly separated, as if being cut open from the middle, and quickly surrounded the Tianxiong army, and the three-eyed blunderbuss in their hands continued to fire back.
