Chapter 379
The chaos in Pingyang Prefecture has caused Datong Prefecture to be more vigilant. Not only has Datong Prefecture tightened its vigilance in the prefectures and counties bordering Pingyang Prefecture, but the shadow of Datong frontier troops has also faintly appeared in these places.
There may not be many border troops, but it is enough to find traces of the border troops. Neither Gao Yingxiang nor Zhang Xianzhong will confront the border troops head-on with their troops.
There is no benefit if you win, but if you lose, there is really nothing.
It's time for them to turn back.
However, behind them, a troop of Nanhai Guards was hanging them from a distance like a ghost in hanging boots. There were not many officers and soldiers in this group, only a few hundred people. Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang discussed
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that if I were caught unawares, I should still be very confident that I would be able to eat this officer and soldier.
Although this group of officers and soldiers may be stronger than the officers and soldiers of Pingyang Mansion that they defeated, but the number is here!
A few days ago, Zhang Xianzhong set a trap for this group of officers and soldiers. They looted a town that seemed to be quite large, but they did not leave immediately.
Gao Yingxiang left with his brigade, but Zhang Xianzhong stayed with some of his people. From the outside, there were only hundreds of bandits left in the town who had not followed the brigade. No one would have thought that the thieves in the distance were
After dark, a small group of elite troops had circled back.
Even the large group did not go far. This group of officers and soldiers kept the same distance as usual and marched unhurriedly. Even after dark, they were still setting up camp unhurriedly.
It's a pity that after waiting until dawn, the officers and soldiers still didn't show up. They didn't even send anyone to check. They were still hanging them up dozens of miles away, as if they had seen through all Zhang Xianzhong's plans.
.
Zhang Xianzhong became a little angry, so he simply turned around with his men and made it clear that the chariots and horses were going to fight the opponent head-on, sword to gun. He didn't bring many people, just over a thousand, and there were hundreds of officers and soldiers. According to the
Although the officers and soldiers looked down upon them, Zhang Xianzhong believed that the other party would never give up on this battle with him!
What made Zhang Xianzhong stunned was that as soon as his troops moved, this group of officers and soldiers ran away in a hurry as if they were a frightened little daughter-in-law who saw a pervert rushing towards her.
This is outrageous.
Ordinarily they ran away, but in the remote area these officers and soldiers found that Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses could not catch up, so they immediately stopped again, looking like they were spying on them. As soon as Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses moved, they immediately screamed and ran away.
He always maintained a safe distance of thirty to fifty miles from Zhang Xianzhong's troops.
If he hadn't come this way, Zhang Xianzhong would have known clearly that this group of officers and soldiers was a lone army, with no large group of officers and soldiers following him. He would have suspected that these officers and soldiers were luring the enemy.
Is this kind of wretched fighting method similar to that of officers and soldiers? Shouldn't it be that officers and soldiers are extremely arrogant and think that they, "thieves", are all scum and vulnerable to a single blow?
For the first time since entering Shanxi, Zhang Xianzhong felt at a loss.
"With these guys following us, we can't go anywhere!"
Gao Yingxiang's face was very bad. A team of several thousand people could barely survive by just looting. However, along the way, many refugees were threatened. Although he had more soldiers and horses, this
Food, weapons and the like have also begun to become scarce.
Although we are not yet at the end of our rope, if we don't find a place to stay to make up for it, I'm afraid we will be close to the end of our rope.
Especially these recent plunders have not only failed to replenish much food and property, but have actually created a lot more people to eat.
Now, wherever Gao Yingxiang's rebel army goes, what the government can deal with is naturally to defend the city and resist to the death. Even if he takes this kind of city, the gains will be greater than the losses. Usually, he will just give up these strong bones.
If it was an easy place to take, there was nothing to gain. The government officials basically took away everything that could be taken away. Most of the things that could not be taken away were burned, except for a bunch of guys who wanted to eat with their mouths open.
, there are really only a handful of things left to him.
"You still have to fight back!"
Zhang Xianzhong nodded: "Brother, we have to prepare for a tough battle. We originally planned to lead the officers and soldiers of Pingyang Mansion by the nose, but as a result, these officers and soldiers were not fooled and did not follow. Instead, they were stuck in Pingyang Mansion. Now, although we
There are more, but this battle is not easy to win!"
"Go and vote for Wu Sangui?" Gao Yingxiang shook his head: "We tricked them in Ansai. Even if we vote for them now, I'm afraid they will still hold a grudge and won't give us anything good to eat!"
"Vote, but we will vote for them again when we have no choice!" Zhang Xianzhong showed a fierce expression: "If we can't get better, they can't even think about it. If it weren't for them, we would still be living our lives!"
"Tell me your plan!" Gao Yingxiang knew that Zhang Xianzhong had an idea in his mind, and he still trusted Zhang Xianzhong.
"Split the troops!"
Zhang Xianzhong said fiercely: "In the team, those who can fight are picked out and formed into an army again, and the rest are organized together!"
Zhang Xianzhong looked at Gao Yingxiang: "Brother, can you trust me?"
"If I couldn't even trust my own brothers, I, Gao Yingxiang, would not be here today!" Gao Yingxiang said lightly: "Tell me your plan!"
"I will take these soldiers and horses to clear the way for my eldest brother and defeat the officers and soldiers blocking us. Then my eldest brother will lead the rest of the people and pass through Pingyang Mansion quickly. If we move fast enough and do not touch Pingyang Mansion City, Pingyang Mansion
The officers and soldiers must not be able to react!"
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Moreover, even if I react and lead my men to cut off my brother's queen, after entering Henan, my brother will be gone and let the birds fly. It will be easy to recruit another team by then!"
Zhang Xianzhong looked at Gao Yingxiang, and if Gao Yingxiang nodded, then basically the soldiers and horses he took away would be the elite of this team, and the rest left for Gao Yingxiang would mostly be the old, weak, sick, disabled, and new refugees.
In terms of strength, he will control most of the strength of Gao Yingxiang's rebel army.
"Even if the officers and soldiers are surrounding me and I can't keep up with my eldest brother, I can take my people back to Shaanxi and go directly to Wu Sangui. After my unit has a fierce battle with the officers and soldiers, I will go and surrender to him. Wu Sangui will not refuse to take me in. Otherwise, he will..."
If you use the name "Rebel Army" again, I'm afraid no one will believe it!"
Gao Yingxiang didn't say anything for a long time, and just glanced at Zhang Xianzhong lightly, while Zhang Xianzhong met Gao Yingxiang's eyes calmly, saying that he had no objection at all.
