Daming Military Empire

Chapter 100 36th Battalion
In ancient times, Lu Xun burned a company camp for 70 miles. At that time, the army of Shu Han was only more than 15, and the camp was scattered for more than [-] miles. Wang Jiayin had an army of nearly [-]. Although it was stationed concentratedly, the scope of the camp was also large. It's astonishing, not to mention more than a hundred miles in length and breadth, there are still more than ten miles in front, back, left, and right.

In such a large area, it may take an hour to walk around slowly, and it will take even more time to fight and walk, so when Lu Xiangsheng led the army to completely occupy Wang Jiayin's camp, two or three hours had passed .At this time, the sky had already dawned, and Lu Xiangsheng rode his horse to patrol the enemy camp, while ordering his personal guards to notify the generals to report the battle situation.

The generals came to report one after another. There were more and more people behind Lu Xiangsheng. After all the generals arrived, they had not heard from Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang. Lu Xiangsheng asked curiously: "Wang Jiayin's generals How come no one was caught?"

Lieutenant General Zhang Hongye cupped his hands and said, "Why don't you go and ask those captives."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "Well, then General Zhang will have to work hard."

Not long after, Zhang Hongye ran back, and he said angrily, "Damn it, these bastards all ran away!"

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

Zhang Hongye was taken aback when he heard the words. He just remembered that he was talking to the governor. He was dizzy just now, so he spoke a bit vulgarly. , Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and the gang all ran away. According to the confessions of the prisoners, they fled westward with their men and horses shortly after the war started, but were beaten back by our Musketeers who were ambushing outside the camp. , they rushed to the back of the camp, climbed over the back hill and ran away!"

Lu Xiangsheng said regretfully: "The gang of thieves ran quite fast, forget it, since they all ran away, there is nothing to patrol in this big camp, you all go and lead your men to bury the pot on the spot let's eat."

All the generals were happy when they heard this, the battle is over now, they have been busy all night, who would not want to have a hot meal and have a good rest.

Although Lu Xiangsheng was a bit regretful, he didn't care too much. He just ran away, and he didn't expect to catch them all. The main purpose of this battle was to break up Wang Jiayin's army.In his opinion, the only threat to him at this stage is Wang Jiayin's army of more than 3. The other bandits are only [-] to [-] at most, and they cannot compete with his army of [-]. , other thieves are nothing to fear.

Will the situation really be the same as he thought?This time he was probably going to miscalculate.

Here Lu Xiangsheng counts the battle situation, and Sun Yuanhua escorts the captured bandits to Liaodong to wait for the time being.

It is said that after Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and others fled back to Pingyang Mansion in embarrassment, they left Wang Jiayin's wealth in his lair, and everyone sat down to discuss how to deal with Lu Xiangsheng's problem. With their little people, they must not be able to handle Lu Yanwang. What should we do? Well, sooner or later, King Lu Yan will chase him to Pingyang. Could it be that they fled back to Shaanxi?

In the end, it was Gao Yingxiang who suggested that Luo Rucai, another leader of the rebel army, come to do the total and see if he could do anything.

Why did Gao Yingxiang recruit Rucai?As mentioned earlier, most of the leaders of the peasant uprising army in the late Ming Dynasty came from Wang Jiayin's subordinates. The reason for this situation is that Wang Jiayin started the incident earlier and captured another county, and it was also called Wang Kaifu. There was a trend of leading everyone to overthrow the imperial court at that time, so all the leaders of the rebel army who had some ideas and abilities all voted under his command.Not to mention anything else, if Wang Jiayin really succeeds, they will at least be the heroes of the founding of the country, and they will enjoy endless glory and wealth.

Although Wang Jiayin was killed and the army gathered under him was disintegrated, they are still the largest forces in the rebel army.Because the worst subordinates among them have more than 1 people, and they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield; the other rebels basically have thousands of people, and their subordinates are all farmers who have just put down their hoes. can't be compared with them.

There are exceptions to this, and Luo Rucai is the biggest exception. He also has more than 1 men, and his combat effectiveness is not weak. Any one of them may not be his opponent.

Of course, Gao Yingxiang didn't want to invite him because he didn't value the more than 1 men under him. Their men and Wang Jiayin's more than 5 men were all defeated. But King Lu Yan, what he valued was Luo Rucai's wise plan.

Luo Rucai, nicknamed "Sai Cao Cao", is resourceful and loyal, and has a good relationship with all rebels. If anyone in the rebels can think of a way to deal with King Lu Yan, then it is Luo Rucai.

Luo Rucai was really loyal, and when he heard that Gao Yingxiang asked him for help, he came without hesitation; his resourcefulness was not just for bragging, as soon as Gao Yingxiang told him about the situation, he immediately had a countermeasure.

In fact, the countermeasure is very simple, that is to call on all the rebels in Pingyang Prefecture to unite to resist King Lu Yan.Now someone is going to scold again, this is a fart's resourcefulness, who can't think of such a simple countermeasure.

Luo Rucai's resourcefulness is of course more than that. Gao Yingxiang and the others have also thought about calling on everyone to unite to resist King Lu Yan, but why should they listen to you and let themselves be at ease, why not come here to listen to your command, sick ah?

Luo Rucai's resourcefulness is reflected in this calling method. He knows that the leaders of the peasant army are the ones who can't be led and rode. If you beg them kindly, they can piss on your face and let them run over obediently. , the only way to threaten them is to make them feel that they will die if they fail to survive.

So those whom he sent to inform the chiefs said this:

Let me tell you a very unfortunate news, the imperial court has sent a ruthless man to deal with us. This ruthless man is nicknamed "Lu Yan Wang", and he has a [-] army under him. He will kill anyone who sees him, and he will not leave anyone alive.If you don't believe it, you can ask about it. You know, King Jiayin of Fugu, his head has been used as a chamber pot by King Lu Yan.If you don't want to die, come to Yicheng to deal with King Lu Yan with us. If you don't come, you will be hacked by King Lu Yan then don't blame us for not notifying you.

The fact that Wang Jiayin was killed was spread very quickly in the rebel army, and the leaders of the rebel army would know it after a little inquiring. This is not bad, then Wang Jiayin had more than [-] horses under his command, all of which were killed by King Lu Yan. Wouldn't these little characters be crushed to death with one finger!

As a result, the leaders of the rebels from all walks of life went to Yicheng to meet the alliance, and together with Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and Luo Rucai, they finally assembled a total of 36 rebels, known as the 36th Battalion.

The 36 battalions ranged from 4 to 6000 to as few as 27, totaling [-]. They were headed by King Zijin Liang for his own use, and stationed near Yicheng.
