Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

During their years of wandering, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's retreat was of course very methodical.Zhang Xianzhong had long put Henan's fifth and sixth teams at the bottom of the team. The fifth and sixth teams in Henan were "carefully" selected from the underdogs, and there were even some strong women mixed in.Zhang Xianzhong was prepared to let the cannon fodder among these cannon fodder stop him once the situation changed, so as to stop the Runing Army's pursuit.

Of course, some superficial work still needs to be done.Although Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai had already called some of the cavalry of Li Dingguo and Yang Chengzu back to the camp, they still arranged for [-] cavalry to break up, giving the cannon fodder a sense of security that they were protected.

It takes time for the Runing Army to line up, and it also takes time for the cavalry of the Runing Army to bypass the flesh and blood field in front of the formation. Therefore, after the cavalry of the Runing Army lined up to charge under Li Sanhe's order, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai The army has withdrawn to a distance of more than three miles.

As soon as the cavalry of the Runing Army began to line up, Xue Yongli knew something was wrong. "Fuck!" Xue Yongli immediately spat out obscenities.The cavalry of the Runing Army were all trained by Xue Yongli. As soon as they poked their butts, Xue Yongli knew what shit they wanted to shit.The formation of these stunned youths to fight to the death is too obvious.

But at this time, it is impossible to correct his cavalry behavior, so Xue Yongli immediately ordered: "Attention! When the cavalry starts to charge, the phalanx will follow up quickly to protect the cavalry. The artillery regiment retreats to the chariot formation. The swarm of firearms battalions all accompanied the phalanx in action."

In a chaotic battle, the accidental damage caused by the artillery will be very large, so it is not used for the time being.But the dense peasant rebel army is a good occasion to use a swarm of bees.Besides, swarms and artillery cannot be used together, otherwise.After the swarm of gunpowder burns, it threatens the gunpowder around the artillery, which is too dangerous for the artillery.

And since his own cavalry is going to fight desperately, then let the whole Runing army fight desperately.At this time, looking forward and backward, it is better to sink the boat.

Xue Yongli's order made the whole Runing army excited.To be honest, the blow just now really hit the Runing army a little bit, and everyone seemed to be holding their breath in their stomachs, feeling indescribably uncomfortable.

After fighting in the South and North for so long, the Runing Army has not lost a single defeat.Now they have suffered a loss in the hands of the peasant rebel army whom they despised quite a bit. Why doesn't this make them feel like they have regained their place?So as soon as Xue Yongli issued the order, the Runing Army cheered up and wanted to show their prestige and let the peasant rebel army take a look at the style of the Runing Army.

And when the cavalry of the Runing Army began to line up.Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai also saw something was wrong.They didn't expect that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side would really go all out.Because until now, there is room for the peasant rebel army to fight against all the officers and soldiers.Of course, the peasant rebel army is for survival.And the military officers of the official army are not willing to suffer the loss of their own troops.So although there are long-term battles, there are quite few real life-and-death battles.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai couldn't help shrinking back when they saw the Runing army showing their fangs.But no matter what, those cavalry who were cut off must be preserved, that is the foundation for Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai to stand in this troubled world.

then.Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai ordered at the same time: "Hurry up and let the cavalry avoid it, and let the fifth and sixth teams of Henan rush over."

But it was too late.At this time, the cavalry of the Runing Army had already walked nearly one mile away from the Peasant Rebel Army, and the cavalry of the Runing Army were quite desperate, and they had already lined up the death array in the first row.The horses were close together, and under a command, they began to sprint.

Seeing the posture of the Runing Army cavalry, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's expressions all changed.Just as they were about to issue an order, a few spies from the peasant rebel army galloped up from a distance, and before they could get off their horses, they shouted at Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, "My lords, there are officers and soldiers over there again, leave us. There are only a few dozen miles away, and there are thousands of people."

The Guide Army led by Xue Yong arrived.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai immediately turned pale with fright. They cleverly guessed that the Runing Army was going to entangle them here, and then the officers and troops from all over the country would arrive one after another to completely annihilate them here.

"Send more spies in other directions to see if there are any other officers and soldiers coming!" Zhang Xianzhong immediately ordered, "Let the Henan fifth and sixth teams stay and rush to the officers and dogs, let's go first! Let the cavalry after the breakup hurry up!" Let's go!"

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai fled quite quickly, and soon they left with their elite camp.And the remaining peasant rebels immediately went into an uproar, why did they stay in the way!The leaders have all fled, could it be that he stayed to die!

The entire peasant rebel army collapsed and fled in all directions.As for the cavalry of the Peasant Rebel Army who were cut off, a small part of them escaped from both sides of the brigade first, but the remaining ones were blocked by the scattered crowd, unable to run even if they wanted to.

……

There is no need to describe the subsequent battles. It doesn't matter if you beat the dog in the water or one-sidedly, it is a one-sided massacre anyway.And when the Guided Army arrived, the battle had come to an end.But this made the peasant rebel army even more confused.

But Xue Yongli didn't dare to be careless at this time.After he divided the peasant rebel army into a large part and surrounded them, he closed the battle as soon as it was good, and ended the battle.

Then, after the three armies joined forces, Xue Yongli immediately ordered the entire army to withdraw quickly with the prisoners and seized, and sent a large number of scouts around to prevent the peasant rebel army from approaching again.

Xue Yongli knew that the Peasant Rebel Army had several 10 people (at this time, it had swelled to 50 to [-] people, and the Runing Army defeated and dispersed at most [-] people, but the Peasant Rebel Army raised its arms, and these cannon fodder quickly disappeared. will gather together), if such a battle happens again, the Runing Army will not be able to bear it.

You must know that the Runing Army's attack this time has caused about 720 casualties. These are all the wealth accumulated by Wu Shigong and other senior officials of the Runing Army. They are not willing to do anything for the Ming Empire sacrificed.

After Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai fled, they also sent a large number of spies in the direction of the Runing Army to prevent the Runing Army from chasing after the victory, and to prevent other Ming troops from falling into trouble.Therefore, the two armies quickly disengaged.

What makes people feel a little ridiculous is that the [-] captives who were left unattended, like domesticated rabbits, obediently stayed in the area designated by the Runing Army, not daring to move at all, just waiting for you Ning Jun took them on again.

After quickly retreating for about [-] miles, after receiving news from the scouts that the peasant rebel army had not pursued them, the Runing army returned to normal, and began to fortify the walls and clear the fields, transport away property, and forcibly take away the local people.

On December 26, the Runing Army returned to the starting point-Ye County with the captured and prisoners.Since the area where this battle took place was basically in Ruzhou, it was officially called the Ruzhou Great Victory.

In this battle, the Runing Army captured more than 100 heads of peasant rebels, and captured and forcibly captured more than 7000 civilians.More than 3 taels of statistic property was seized, and there were countless pots and pans that were difficult to count.

In addition, a considerable number of agricultural implements and a small number of weapons were seized.Because the road was blocked by the broken crowd, the cavalry surrounded by the peasant rebel army surrendered to the Runing army. Therefore, more than 900 horses and more than 100 mules and donkeys were also seized.

Looking at such a glorious victory, Niu Wenqing, the highest civil official in Ye County, was dumbfounded, but after being in a daze, he was immediately elated, and then wrote a literary memorial with his wonderful pen.

The Runing army was also a sedan chair bearer, and gave Niu Wenqing a strategy. When he saw the mine supervisor Ye Zhong, he also came up, and he simply made a proposal to Ye Zhong in the report.So everyone in Ye County is happy.

The military merits of the Runing Army were not only given to these people, the nominal commander of the Guide Army——Zhao Ming, his name was also listed in the memorial.

And when this report was sent to Henan Governor Xuan Mo, Xuan Mo immediately swept away the situation, and he got the support of Zuo Liangyu's department who crossed the Yellow River, so he immediately counted [-] troops and marched towards the peasant rebel army. Kill in the direction of the past, and go to beat the dog in the water.

And after this report was sent to the court, Emperor Chongzhen and all the ministers were ecstatic.They immediately decided to give generous rewards to the military attache who had made great achievements in this Ruzhou victory.

Then, an ironic scene happened.Because of Wu Shigong's absence, and because the Runing Army wanted to hide its strength, those who reported to command the battle were: Nanyang garrison Li Lu, Guidewei commander Zhao Ming, Runing Qianzong Xue Yongli, and Runing Qianhu Qiao Song.

Therefore, the court of the Ming Dynasty, in accordance with the general practice, took the highest position Li Lu as the first meritorious service, and was directly promoted to guerrilla (Guidewei Commander Zhao Ming has the highest official rank, but Li Lu is a military military officer, so his position here is Highest).So a rising star of a famous general in the Ming Dynasty gradually rose.

As for Guidewei Commander Zhao Ming, when he heard that the Runing Army had given him the credit, he immediately claimed to the outside world that "he was seriously injured in the battle and could not walk", and pretended to be sick and stayed behind closed doors.

Then Zhao Ming prepared a generous gift and sent it to Wu Shigong, begging Wu Shigong not to pierce his diorama.Because Zhao Ming is an old man.He knows that this credit is very hot!As long as it continues, he will drag his own old bones to fight in the battlefield from then on.

Zhao Ming knew how much he had, so he would rather not take credit for it, and stay at home with his little concubine in his arms.Therefore, the credit given to Zhao Ming by the Runing Army turned out to be a bad thing done with good intentions.

So the court was still discussing how to reward Zhao Ming. At this time, other memorials about the great victory in Ruzhou were also submitted to the public one after another. What surprised Emperor Chongzhen and the court officials was that the Ru Ning army was attacked. A sound of impeachment. (To be continued..)
