Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 250 Encounter with Li Dingguo

Hao Yaoqi fought a big victory when he arrived here. With only 3000 troops, Ma Shouying's Ge Zuo Fifth Battalion was smashed into a mess. Ge Liyan He Yilong and Troubled Times Wang Lincheng were all pierced by Hao Yaoqi with a big flagpole Toad, there are only three battalions left in the fifth battalion. In the end, Ma Shouying took the remaining remnants and ran away in defeat.

Hao Yaoqi led the victorious soldiers and chased after him, but Ma Shouying was a famous long-legged general, so Hao Yaoqi would definitely not be able to catch up to him if he ran away.

Even though they are all thieves, the difference between Hao Yaoqi and Ma Shouying is too far. In terms of fame and leading troops to fight, the two are not at the same level. In terms of personal bravery, Ma Shouying is far from Hao Yao's opponent, but the decisive battle between the two armies is not The winner is determined by individual heads-up.

The reason why Hao Yaoqi was able to win this time was entirely due to the carelessness of the Gezuo Fifth Battalion. They were fooled by Hao Yaoqi, and Hao Yaoqi took advantage of it.

Because they still don't know that Hao Yaoqi has stripped off the thieves and turned into an official army who wants to destroy them in turn.Because they and Hao Yaoqi are old acquaintances, Hao Yaoqi worked under Gao Yingxiang's tent back then, and later Hao Yaoqi worked with Li Zicheng, and they have cooperated more than once.The most brilliant cooperation was the battle in Anhui, where Fengyang was taken, the imperial tomb was burned, the tomb of Emperor Chongzhen was dug up, and many officials, soldiers and corrupt officials were killed.

Now who would have thought that such a stubborn bandit in the imperial court would suddenly become the deadly enemy of the stubborn bandit?By the time the two sides came into contact with each other, it was too late. In terms of personal bravery and charging into battle, Hao Yaoqi is of course his strong point. Therefore, in the battle of Changgang, the [-]th Battalion of Gezuo suffered a big loss. The [-]th Battalion injured two battalions. camp.

However, Hao Yaoqi's wish to eat Ma Huihui in a battle is definitely wishful thinking. Ma Huihui is not in vain. Over the years, he has fought with the officers and soldiers in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, Henan, Shandong, and Huguang, and has fought all over most of China. Among the thieves, in terms of reputation, he is a senior who is earlier than Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai and other 36 families and 72 camps are always on the list.Later, after Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang were destroyed, Lao Huihui cooperated with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng again, and became a giant bandit second only to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in terms of strength.

There are a total of five leaders in the fifth battalion of Gezuo. In fact, they are five thieves gathered in one place and called the fifth battalion of Gezuo. In addition to the old Huihui Ma Shouying, there are also Ge ​​Liyan He Yilong, Zuojin King He Jin, and King Kaishi. Liu Xiyao and Lin Chengcheng, the king of troubled times, are famous as Ma Shouying, but the strength of these four is not weak.

After responding to Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's rebellion, Zhang Xianzhong went west, Li Zicheng went north, and they went south to the Huguang area. At one time, their number reached more than [-], but now they can't stay in Hunan and Jiangxi. It was Lu Jiude who personally supervised the division a year ago and led Huang Degong, the famous general of the Beijing camp, to join forces with troops from Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places to encircle and suppress them. Not to mention, the Iron Whip General Huang Degong is invincible, and Lu Jiu The Fifth Battalion of Gezuo couldn't stand the planning of eunuchs and marshals like De.

Although Lu Jiude is an eunuch, he is different from other eunuchs. Don't look at the balls. Fengyang and Huguang areas fought against bandits, and had outstanding military exploits, and many bandits were killed by him.

Later, after Chongzhen hanged himself, he wept in the hall, and then led his troops south to circle between Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, and the four towns in Jiangbei. During this period of history, this Lu Jiude can definitely be regarded as an influential figure in the late Ming Dynasty.

Such a powerful eunuch was ordered to go to the Huguang area to encircle and suppress the old Huihui. The Gezuo Fifth Battalion really couldn't resist. They were defeated in a row and besieged on all sides. They had no choice but to run from Hunan and Jiangxi to Hubei. , The two sides united in one place, and their strength increased greatly.

Old Huihui and the others cooperated with Zhang Xianzhong again this time, and it was no accident that all five of their leaders recognized Zhang Xianzhong's leadership.

Because Laohui is not inferior to Zhang Xianzhong in terms of fame and status, Zhang Xianzhong once worked under Laohui's subordinates when he was beaten by the officers and soldiers. Surpassing the old Huihui and them, the rule of survival in troubled times is that strength is paramount, and seniority is not considered.

Now the old Huihui is working as a younger brother under Zhang Xianzhong again. This is really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Another reason is that they got the news of Li Zicheng's defeat in Nanyang and were driven into the mountains by the officers and soldiers. Later, the whole army was wiped out in the battle of Mushroom Cliff. They thought that this time King Li Chuang was doomed.

This is tantamount to a major earthquake in the thief world. Now Luo Rucai is also finished, and Guotianxing, Sweeping Tiger, Shooting the Sky, Chuangtantian, etc. were all wiped out by the government and the army.They realized that the situation was getting more and more serious, and they began to hug each other to keep warm.

And now they have a frightening name in their minds, that is, Lin Yi, the general soldier of Miyun who has wiped out Tianxing, Shetatian, Sweeping Tiger, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng and many other thieves.Being able to wipe out so many bandits in the imperial court one after another is by no means a fluke. It seems that this is a figure who is terrifying to Bilu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Zuo Liangyu, and Madman He.

In this case, Zhang Xianzhong became their backbone.

After they joined together, their strength became stronger, and they won consecutive battles. Wherever they went, the officers and soldiers fled when they heard the news, and some surrendered without taking possession.With 20 million soldiers and horses and so many generals who are used to fighting under his command, Zhang Xianzhong's waist straightened up all of a sudden. He stopped running when he encountered the officers and soldiers, and began to fight the officers and soldiers head-on. The official army was really no match, and Zhang Xianzhong quickly occupied a large area of ​​central Hubei after losing one battle.

Zhang Xianzhong's momentum was greatly shaken, and more importantly, after they took Xiangyang, they killed Wang Qiaonian, took Xiangyang as their base, and then pointed their troops at Suizhou.

Zhang Xianzhong chose Xiangyang as his base because Xiangyang was an important town in Hubei, and military strategists had always fought for it. Now it is one of the court's distribution centers for soldiers, horses, food and salaries. In the battle of Xiangyang, Zhang Xianzhong not only eliminated a strong enemy Wang Qiaonian.This person worships Youjian as the censor of the capital, and is the newly appointed governor of Shaanxi by the imperial court. He can also be regarded as a great official in Xinjiang. Zong Long and Yang Wenyue, governor of Baoding, went south to suppress the bandits, but they did not expect to die in Xiangyang, Hubei.

But in history, he didn’t die like this. He died a little later in Xiangcheng, Henan. The city was broken and was killed by Li Zicheng. However, Zhang Xianzhong still died at the hands of Zhang Xianzhong. Anyway, this person was destroyed by the thieves.

After Zhang Xianzhong took Xiangyang, the army got good supplies, and then the soldiers pointed eastward. The reason why they wanted to go east along the Yangtze River was because they knew that Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan, Huguang, Henan, and Shandong were all assembled The imperial court had a heavy army, so they chose to use the Yangtze River as a natural moat to develop to the Jianghuai area in the middle and lower reaches. Of course, the old Gezuo Fifth Battalion opened the way in front.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in Suizhou, the Fifth Gezuo Battalion met Hao Yaoqi here, and suffered such a disastrous defeat. He Yilong and Lin Chengcheng died on the spot.The Fifth Battalion of Gezuo suffered a great loss, but Ma Huihui didn't care at all, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, and losing a battle is nothing, so he took He Yilong and Lin Cheng's remnants and ran away with his men and horses. You can make a comeback after running for the first time.

Hao Yaoqi was chasing after him, but the old Huihui quickly disappeared. Hao Yaoqi was chasing and searching, and while chasing, a team came in front, and the wind volume flag could be seen clearly no matter how far away it was. On the banner was a large "Zhang" character, Hao Yaoqi thought it was Zhang Xianzhong who came, so he quickly ordered people to stop.

Because although Hao Yaoqi is brave and brave, he is also convincing. There are only a handful of people in this world who he is convincing to. Zhang Xianzhong is one of them. Whether it is leading troops to fight or being brave personally, the Eight Great Kings make him proud The character with the thumb is comparable to Li Zicheng.Therefore, before Ji Yi's main force arrived, Hao Yaoqi did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

A few hundred meters away from the opposite side, the team also stopped. One of the generals under his command took a closer look and realized that this was not Zhang Xianzhong's team, because Hao Yaoqi knew it. He has followed Zhang Xianzhong for several years, and Zhang Xianzhong recognized him as his godson when he was a teenager, and changed his surname to Zhang. In fact, his real surname is Li, and his first name is Dingguo.

Hao Yaoqi didn't know that Li Dingguo had become more and more promising in the past few years. The young man was brave in battle and made great achievements in battle. He led tens of thousands of people to fight at the age of 17. Especially in the battle of Kuizhou in Sichuan, Li Dingguo killed the famous general of Kuizhou with one arrow. Zhang Ling, the old general Zhang Ren is known as the god crossbow general, with a world-renowned reputation, but he died in the hands of a baby, and Zhang Yu'er has become famous since then.

Now I met Hao Yaoqi. Hao Yaoqi still regarded Li Dingguo as a child and called him by his nickname. Obviously he didn't pay attention to him, but this Li Dingguo in front of him was too good looking. The great general Lin Yi has a jade-faced white robe, a square halberd in his hand, a bow and arrow and a four-edged silver mace behind his back, riding a big red horse, no less than Lu Bu's rebirth.

Both of them used to be thieves, but now they are different. Of course, Li Dingguo also knew Hao Yaoqi. The two leaders were not speculative. They scolded each other a few words, and then ordered their men to charge. Both sides threw thousands of soldiers into a melee. It was hard to tell the outcome for a while, and the casualties on both sides were increasing. The two generals soon stopped watching, smashed their horses into the enemy's line, and charged in person.

Ordinary generals were not their opponents at all, and the two generals fought each other after beheading several enemies.

Hao Yaoqi prided himself on his bravery, but he was taken aback by fighting with Li Dingguo. He was no longer a brat, but a vigorous general with a painted halberd dancing like a silver dragon. Hao Yaoqi had a big flagpole Dancing like flying, Hao Yaoqi couldn't bear it after the two had fought for a while.

Hao Yaoqi originally thought that he would be able to stab him under the horse, but he found that he was completely wrong. The former child Danzi is now a terrible thing.

Hao Yaoqi hurriedly used his superb skills, shook the big flagpole with both hands and turned it in his hands, the big flag was stretched out, fluttering in the wind, Hu Lala covered Zhang Yuer's sight, and then Hao Yaoqi went When he started, he pulled the front handle and gave it away, and the triangular penetrating cone at the end of the big flagpole poked at Zhang Yu'er's chest.

When there was a sound of metal impact, Hao Yaoqi's big flagpole was bounced back.

Hao Yaoqi was so shocked that he almost bruised his wrist. Hao Yaoqi was shocked. How could this kid have such thick armor? Could it be that he couldn't penetrate it?Impossible, the triangular penetrating armor cone at the tail of my flagpole is no worse than the lance front of the big lance, and it is designed to break through all kinds of armor.

Just when Hao Yaoqi was wondering, the shadow of the big flag flickered, and Hao Yaoqi saw it clearly. Li Dingguo did not know when there was an extra four-edged silver mace in his hand. One blow was blocked, this kid is really fast!

At this time, Li Dingguo stepped forward, swung his silver mace at Hao Yaoqi's head, and smashed it down.

Hao Yaoqi was startled and it was too late to use the flagpole to block it. He twisted his body desperately and lowered his head, but the mace hit his back, and the heart guard shattered with a click. Fly around.

Hao Yaoqi felt his viscera tumbling, threw the big flagpole and pulled the horse and ran away. Before he ran far, a mouthful of blood sprayed into the air. Hao Yaoqi felt that he was seriously injured and couldn't fight any more. Defeated, he got on his horse and fled.

Once the master general was defeated and the dragons had no leader, Hao Yaoqi's men were also defeated. Zhang Yu'er led the men to chase after him, but now it was the other way around, thousands of thieves chased Hao Yaoqi's men and killed them for a while.There were dead and wounded everywhere on the ground, blood flowed like rivers, and human heads rolled.

Li Dingguo took aim at Hao Yaoqi in the midst of the chaos, and insisted on killing him, destroying the horse like flying like an arrow, and only chasing Hao Yaoqi regardless of others.Hao Yaoqi ran desperately, spanking the horse's buttocks, sat down and ran desperately with its master on its back. Li Dingguo's horse was also very fast, one after the other, like flying through the clouds, and quickly left the others behind.

The second general didn't know how far he ran forward. Li Dingguo saw that he had almost covered the distance. He hung the halberd on the horse, took off the carved bow with one hand, and pulled out a wolf from the arc of the arrow with the other hand. Tooth and arrow, admit the buckle and add string, open the bow like a full moon, and it is an arrow to Hao Yaoqi.

Unexpectedly, just as Li Dingguo's arrow was shot, an arrow pierced through the air diagonally from the opposite side. The two arrows collided in the air, and there was a metallic sound, and both arrows fell to the ground.

Li Dingguo was shocked, and quickly reined in his horse. Only then did he notice a man and horse coming diagonally. He was only chasing after Hao Yaoqi just now, and didn't pay attention to the changes here. This man and horse flew out two riders, and one of them shot One arrow, knocking his arrows down.

To be able to shoot down his own arrows, the opponent must be extraordinary. Li Dingguo watched carefully. The two generals who were a hundred steps away from him, one of them was born in a suave manner, this is the one who shot down his arrows. An empty bow; the other is tall and sturdy, with a big ax in his hand. Behind the second general is a Ming army.

When Li Dingguo saw this, his heart moved. Could it be that this is Lin Yi, the general soldier of Miyun who is famous all over the world?

It really made him guess right. The main force of Lin Yi's central army was only an hour or two away from Hao Yaoqi's vanguard. Hao Yaoqi fought against the Fifth Gezuo Battalion in front and won. Got the report soon.

Of course, Lin Yi knew the strength of the Gezuo Fifth Battalion, but Hao Yaoqi only had 3000 people. Lin Yi was afraid that he would suffer, so he urged the three armies to move forward quickly.

It was just in time. From a distance, Lin Yi saw a bandit chasing Hao Yaoqi. Hao Yaoqi was in a panic, with no weapons in his hands. Lin Yi rushed over on his horse, and Zu Keyong followed closely.

The two of them raced fast and threw the team behind them away. After rushing a few hundred meters, they saw that Li Dingguo was about to shoot Hao Yaoqi with an arrow, so Lin Yi released an arrow, shot down Li Dingguo's arrow, and saved Hao Yaoqi One life.

At this time, Hao Yaoqi also saw Lin Yi, and ran over as if seeing a savior, shouting as he ran, "General, this kid is Zhang Dingguo, the godson of the thief. He is too powerful, and he must not be let go." Walk!"

"General, hand over this thief to me, he can't escape!" Zu Keyong took off his big axe, galloped out, and took Li Dingguo straight.
