Chapter 39 The Great War 3

Zu Kuan and Li Chongjin were a little surprised. In fact, they just wanted to divide some of them. After all, the Tianxiong Army was the main army, and the Liaodong soldiers were the guest soldiers. Besides, this was a team led by important officials of the court like the prime ministers of the five provinces. If they wanted too much, it would be unreasonable. They had to give some face to the supervisor.

The two of them did not expect that Lu Xiangsheng was so generous that he actually gave up the seized big head.

Zu Kuan quickly refused: "It's not possible to use it! It's better to supervise the commander of seven and three of us, otherwise it would be too much!"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "Okay, don't give in. As long as you can win a battle, just wealth is nothing. Besides, the food and money allocated by the court has arrived in Ruzhou. After the siege of Ruyang was lifted and the bandits were driven into the mountain, we will go to Ruzhou to recuperate. We just paid the food and money, and the soldiers were born and died, so we had to send some money to our family and send a message to our family to report their safety!"

Zu and Li responded with the flow. Zu Qianjun, who was standing beside him, hurried back and informed the Liaodong soldiers of the good news. After a while, cheers came from the Liaodong soldiers. Tianxiong Army still stood in an orderly formation without looking squinting. Zu Kuan and Li Chongjin were also amazed at the Tianxiong Army's strict military appearance, and their original contempt suddenly disappeared.

Next, Lu Xiangsheng arranged for the soldiers to dig several large pits and buried all the bodies of the bandits. The bodies of the fallen soldiers in the official army were cremated and collected ashes and placed them in the pottery jars carried by the army. The officers in the army wrote down the names and hometowns of the dead on white paper, and then carefully packed the pots and placed them in the carriage covered with straw.

The seized property is divided into two large portions and distributed to the soldiers after camping.

In this battle, more than 10,000 bandits were killed and more than 10,000 thieves were killed and twenty-three were injured on the Tianxiong Army, 125 were injured. 51 were killed and 165 were injured. More than 400 complete war horses were seized, more than 30,000 taels of gold and silver, and countless weapons and armor. It can be said that it was a complete victory.

After everything was arranged, Lu Xiangsheng ordered to return to the camp and rest and prepare for the war.

The wài defeated by Lu Xiangsheng       The thieves fled back to the central army. Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong had already received the news.

The two brought their respective generals to the outside of the Zhongjun camp. The defeated soldiers who kept fleeing back came to the outside of the Zhongjun camp and lay down on the ground. Some were sitting on the camp gate and panting. Everyone had long discarded all the weapons in their hands. Some were afraid of running slowly, so they even took off their armor, hats and helmets on their bodies. Some squatted on the ground and vomited, and some knelt on the ground and cried silently. That was because their relatives or friends at home had already died and the official army had already gotten off.

Gao Yingxiang looked at the scene in front of him with a gloomy face. He was a typical northwestern man, with a burly and stout figure, a national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, wearing a black mail, and a white wide-brimmed felt hat with big red cherry ears on his head.

Since the second year of Chongzhen, he raised an army in his hometown Suide, and in the seven years, his subordinates have grown from less than a thousand people to now have tens of thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry. His strength is the strongest among all the thieves, and most of the thieves have secretly been led by him.

Especially in recent years, he has led his subordinates to defeat the official army repeatedly and has gained great fame. Many small bandits have come to invest, which has greatly expanded his strength and his reputation has increased. Even Hong Chengchou, who is always resourceful and capable of fighting, is afraid of him and does not dare to be enemies with him head-on.

Unexpectedly, he suffered a great loss in the small Ruyang this time. He was so angry that he couldn't say anything. It was because Zhang Xianzhong and other outsiders were around, so he forced his anger and did not immediately ejaculate.

At this time, his capable general Yidou Gu Huanglong hurried to him, bowed heavily to Gao Yingxiang and reported loudly: "The prince of the rebellion, this time the men lost a lot. The damn fucking rooster heard that the official army came to suppress the enemy and took his subordinate Qianduo Horse Team to grab the merits. Unexpectedly, he encountered a tough guy this time. He didn't say that he was dead. Qianduo Horse Team only escaped dozens of horses. This time we were in great trouble!"

Gao Yingxiang was even more angry when he heard this. More than a thousand horse teams were his flesh and the capital he relied on for his arrogant heroes.

He had a total of more than 10,000 horse teams. This time he went there, and he wanted to save the damn fucking rooster and cut it into pieces again.

As for those infantrymen, they are actually refugees. As long as they have food, they don’t feel sorry for how much they need and how much they die.

In order to appear calm and generous in front of Zhang Xianzhong who came to gather, he could only suppress the urge to use a knife to chop people. After taking a deep breath, he asked in a gentle tone: "Do you know where these official troops came from? Who led the team? How many troops are there?"

Huang Long replied: "I have asked the men who fled back. The government army had a large number of horses and tens of thousands of cavalry. When these thieves and officials chased each other, they kept shouting and shouting in their mouths, with a strange accent. Some men said that they might have come from outside the pass. Before the battle, the men saw the flags set by the infantrymen of the government army. A fleeing man in the past said that he had seen this flag, which seemed to be the big flag of King Lu Yan!"

Gao Yingxiang's face changed when he heard this, and Zhang Xianzhong, who was watching the fun next to him, also looked solemn.

Gao Yingxiang knew very well that this time the enemy was coming. As far as he knew, the mainland government troops rarely had a large number of horses. Although deserters would exaggerate, the opposite government troops should have at least a few thousand cavalry. So where did these official troops come from?

There is only one place - the Liaodong cavalry outside Shanhaiguan who was guarding against the Jurchens. It was a powerful soldier that the imperial court invested a lot of silver and food to feed. It was precisely because of the existence of this army that the Jurchen barbarians had not entered the pass for so many years.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court spared no expense this time, thousands of miles away, and dispatched the Guanning cavalry into the pass. Are you not afraid of the Jurchens taking the opportunity to break the pass?

As for Lu Xiangsheng, it was also a person who made Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong feared him. Among the many bandits who joined the gang, many of them had fought with Lu Xiangsheng. When Lu Xiangsheng's name was mentioned, these bandits were afraid of him like tigers and said they were invincible. Lu Yan King was the nickname given to him by many bandits who had suffered great losses in Lu Xiangsheng's hands.

Gao Yingxiang's anger had disappeared. He spoke to Zhang Xianzhong beside him: "Brother Zhang, this time the official army is not good, you and I have to think of a way to retreat to the official army. Let's go, let's go to my tent to make a total of total!"

Zhang Xianzhong nodded with a serious expression and agreed. Gao Yingxiang ordered Huang Long to send troops to search for the movements of the official army, and to remove the troops who were preparing to attack Ruyang County, and then go to his own tent first. The important leaders under his command had already followed Zhang Xianzhong and others.

When he arrived in the big tent, Gao Yingxiang sat on the big chair in the middle. Zhang Xianzhong took his subordinates to sit on a row of chairs on the left, while Gao Yingxiang's generals sat on a row of chairs on the right.

After everyone sat down, Gao Yingxiang said loudly: "Brother Zhang, you are here to vote for me this time. I originally wanted to capture Ruyang City and divide half of the gold and silver women inside to you. I didn't expect the government army to come here so soon! I don't think it was the city people who reported the news. It should be that this group of officials were nearby and happened to come over. Donkey Ball! This time it ruined my good things! Brother, tell me, what should we do next?"

This time, Zhang Xianzhong brought more than 20,000 subordinates to gather. He had more steps and few horses. Although he had captured several county towns, he was attacked by Cao Bianjiao and hundreds of horses several times. Although the main force was not damaged, he was tortured very hard. Due to the lack of cavalry to hedge Cao Bianjiao, Xiao Cao would raid a few times. Except for his thousands of his trusted subordinates, the rest might be dispersed. Besides, there was not much food or grass in his hands. In desperation, he thought of joining Gao Yingxiang and wanted to breathe and repair it under his protection. After following Gao Yingxiang to capture several cities, grab enough money and food, secretly develop and strengthen himself, and then part ways with Gao Yingxiang after having enough strength.

After all, Zhang Xianzhong is also a proud and arrogant person. Although he is a fleeing official army, he looked down on Gao Yingxiang and other mud legs from the bottom of his heart. The situation is just forcing him and he has to feel wronged.

Zhang Xianzhong pondered for a while and said, "King of Chuang, if I, Old Zhang, guessed correctly, these official and horse teams should have come from Liaodong, so we can't stand it. The barbarians in Liaodong have a fierce spirit when fighting, and there is also the King of Yan Lu, who is not a good person. I heard that although King of Yan Lu is a literati, he is used to using big swords and takes the lead in fighting in battles. He will never stop. The Hebei guys under his command are also the ones who love to fight. King of Chuang, let's zà

o     fǎn is for the sake of being a good person and drinking, not for life. I think we should not fight with them head-on, so we should avoid it first. These Liaodong barbarians will not be in the pass for too long. When the Jurchen barbarians find the emptiness outside the pass, they will definitely send troops to attack. At that time, the emperor will have to transfer these Liaodong barbarians back outside the pass. Without these Liaodong horse teams, although King Lu Yan is powerful, I am not afraid of him. King Chuang, what do you think?"

After Zhang Xianzhong finished speaking, Gao Yingxiang began to ponder. Although he was unwilling to fight against the powerful Liaodong Cavalry Team and Lu Xiangsheng's team, he was afraid that his cavalry would lose too much and his strength would be greatly reduced by then. The bandits who rely on him now would not respect him as much as they do now.

But if he retreated without fighting, he was a little unwilling to accept it. This time, hundreds of thousands of thieves gathered near Ruyang. His own tens of thousands of thieves were the largest and the strongest. Zhang Xianzhong brought tens of thousands of people and the tens of thousands of horses were second only to him. There were dozens of other thieves, all of whom were large and small, each with thousands of people. Although most of them were mobs, they could still pick out tens of thousands of people in the tens of thousands of people and horses in the hundreds of thousands of people and horses in the tens of thousands of people, but they were all the family assets of the leaders of all thieves. If they really wanted them to fight against the government army, most of them would not agree.

Although everyone vaguely regarded him as the leader, it was actually a very loose alliance and he had no right to respond.

Besides, if this time it really avoids this official army as Zhang Xianzhong said, it doesn't matter if Ruyang City can't be taken down, but if it is reported that Gao Yingxiang has hundreds of thousands of troops but is afraid of more than ten thousand government troops, his prestige among the thieves will be greatly reduced.

In recent years, as his strength gradually grew and his battles with the official army have been repeatedly won. Gao Yingxiang has got rid of the initial mentality of being at ease with his little wealth, and the ambition in his mind has gradually expanded uncontrollably. He has greater ambitions and pursuits, and this pursuit is not a fantasy, but a possibility.

Thinking of this, Gao Yingxiang made up his mind.

After he sat upright, he slowly spoke, "Brother Zhang, I know that you are nicknamed Huanghu. Among so many rebels, you are a number of people. Why did you shrink your eggs today? A group of Liaodong barbarians, plus a King of Yan, scare you? Our hundreds of thousands of troops can scare more than 10,000 government troops away? If this matter is spread, I, Gao Yingxiang, cannot afford to lose that person! Even if we retreat, we must try the weight of those government troops to achieve it! Let's do this, this time I will take out the three thousand old camp horse teams and five thousand infantrymen, and follow the

The official army will fight! There are many fans who are blocked from the frontier in my three thousand horse team, and they are very tough when fighting! Hong Chengchou, the old Buxiu, also suffered a great loss in my hands. Now he heard my name and avoided it from afar! This time we will fight hard with the official army. Don’t be afraid. Even if it is defeated, it will be a waste. I still have more than 10,000 elite cavalry to support the formation. If I can’t fight hard, the official army will lose a lot, and they will not dare to chase us again. At that time, the official army will lose its spirit. We can go wherever we want. How will he stay? This time I have invested a lot, so wait and see!"

Gao Yingxiang's men heard that his family's riotous king was so arrogant and had almost no defeat against the official army in several years. Although the official army was strong this time, there were many people on their own side, and they really wanted to fight to the death. The winner was still a little bit.

The star Han Liang stood up and shouted, "Isn't the donkey ball, the bear official army? The knife in my hand has cut off countless officials' heads! My family's prince has spoken. If anyone doesn't obey the order, I, Han, use the knife to slap him!" The other generals under Gao Yingxiang also stood up and shouted, and the scene suddenly became lively.

Zhang Xianzhong was furious and looked extremely ugly. What he hated the most was being threatened and forced. He suddenly stood up and was about to get angry. The adopted son beside him pulled his elbow with a wall, and Zhang Xianzhong immediately woke up.

His eyes rolled and he laughed: "Brother Han is right. Who dares not listen to the orders of King Chuang! I, Lao Zhang, sent out two thousand infantrymen, and they are all old soldiers who follow me, who are more than a hundred wars. This time I have invested in it, and I, Lao Zhang, listened to King Chuang!"

Seeing this situation, other bandit leaders expressed their opinions no matter what their hearts were thinking. One thousand people in the end, 50,000 people were all the elite subordinates of each person.

Among these 50,000 troops, only Gao Yingxiang's team of three thousand horses, and the other leaders of the big and small bandits sent infantry to the battlefield. Gao Yingxiang knew that most of the bandit leaders had few cavalry under their command. Even if there were hundreds or dozens of horses, they would have the capital to save their lives, so of course it was not easy to force them to take it out.

While secretly despising them, he is also deeply proud that his subordinates have such strong strength.
