Chapter 523: Zhang De

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Upon hearing that Ma Mingpei asked him to lead troops to recapture Zhangde Mansion, Chen Yuan and Zhang Enda looked bitter, "Governor Xian, it's not that the general is unwilling to go, it's actually that the Zhangde Mansion has the fake Ming Governor Qian Qianyi of Shandong and Henan in person.

When stationed, there are many soldiers and generals, so it is difficult to attract attention!"

"A large number of soldiers and a broad general?"

Ma Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "The two generals are overly worried. The governor has found out that there are indeed 20,000 Ming troops in Zhangde Mansion, but they are all bandits and bandits recruited by Qian Qianyi from various places. They can fight

It’s just the commander-in-chief Wang Zhigang, and the deputy general Yan Xiaoyong only has thousands of men, and the rest are chickens and dogs, vulnerable to attack. The two of you have a total of 20,000 green battalions. If they attack Zhangde, they will be captured easily."

When Generals Chen and Zhang heard what Ma Mingpei said, they couldn't help but perked up and straightened their backs and said: "The final general will definitely live up to the high expectations of the Governor and Xian, and vow to show his virtue!"

Ma Mingpei's words are actually only half right. At the beginning, Qian Qianyi's troops did have only four thousand soldiers, and the rest were rebels like Lu Zheye and Zhao Qian. But after a series of battles, the rebels' combat strength also increased.

It has improved a lot. Currently, there are 10,000 veterans who have been on the battlefield, and there are 10,000 new recruits.

Zhu Hengjia led the main force to attack Beijing. In order to prevent the Qing army from attacking his flanks, he ordered Qian Qianyi to move to Zhangde Mansion in Henan Province. The positions of his subordinates were all changed. Wang Zhigang was changed to Luzhou General Soldier, Yan Xiaoyong was changed to Dubiao General Soldier, and Lu Wenye

He was transferred to Anyang guerrilla, Zhao Qian was transferred to Cizhou guerrilla, and Luo Lun was transferred to Tangyin guerrilla.

Some people get younger as they live. Qian Qianyi, who is as old as seventy-four years old, stands on the west wall of Zhianyang in Zhangde Prefecture and stares into the distance, which is the direction of Lin County.

"Governor Xian, are you worried about Lin County? Lu Guerba is quite brave and will be fine," Yan Xiaoyong said.

"Alas! That boy is too young, I am a little worried!"

??

Lin County is a small but strong city. Qian Qianyi sent Anyang guerrilla Lu Wenye to guard the city. Guarding the city also guarded the west gate of Anyang.

Lu Wenye is very young, in his early twenties, which is a lively and playful age. Because he was an old Luo Jiao official, he is very calm in dealing with people. He has four thousand soldiers under his command, half of whom are Luo Jiao's brothers. He knows the emperors of all dynasties.

They were all afraid of religious forces preaching in the army, so on the one hand they strictly prohibited believers from preaching in the army; on the other hand, they promoted that Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty was the reincarnation of Luo Zu, and being loyal to the emperor meant being loyal to Luo Jiao, which turned Luo Jiao into a royalist religion.
Emperor Guangwu attaches great importance to the army. There are many informants in the army, so he soon learned about this. He was overjoyed and secretly praised this young man for his cleverness. I appointed him an official, gave him a marriage, and loved him for a while, so he gave Qian Qianyi's favor.

Lu Wenye's name was briefly mentioned in the letter.

What kind of person is Lao Qian? He has a strong political sensitivity and a delicate heart. He knew at the first sight that the emperor wanted to cultivate Lu Wenye. He secretly sighed at the great blessings this boy had to cultivate to be favored by the holy family. I wanted to inherit the above tradition.

I wanted to promote this kid. I had no choice but to get promoted, and fearing that the generals would be dissatisfied, I sent Lu Wenye to the front line of Lin County to perform meritorious service.

I originally thought that Fan Youxian was attacking Shanxi, and Shanxi Green Camp should be unable to counterattack Zhangde. It was a great achievement for Lu Wenye to easily defend Lin County.

It's supposed to be an easy thing, but I don't know what happened, but my right eye has been twitching these past few days.

The Qing army came. Chen Yuan and Zhang Enda were originally stationed in Lu'an and Zezhou. After secretly gathering at Yuxia Pass in Lu'an, they crossed Tianping Mountain and went straight to Lin County.

"Old officer, it's not good, the Qing army is here." Lu Wenye was eating in the camp, and Liu Zheng ran in in a panic.

Half of Lu Wenye's subordinates called him general, and the other half, old brothers in the religion, such as Liu Zheng, Weng Changxian, Pan Hu, etc., habitually called him "old official". At first, Lu Wenye wanted them to change their words.

They can't, or they don't want to change. They also have their own little thoughts. Only by shouting like this can they show that their relationship with Lu Guerrie is unusual.

"Why are you panic? Hurry up and call the brothers to the city."

Lu Guerbi has also fought in a war, and he knows the principle of sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in war. He has been preparing defense equipment these days, and he still feels confident.

As soon as the fight started, I realized that I was wrong.

Not only did the Qing army number as many as 20,000, but they were all fighting soldiers, and they attacked the city in an orderly manner. Although many of his subordinates had been on the battlefield and there were many brave men, there was still a gap between them and the fighting soldiers.

After fighting for three days, the city was broken and old brother Weng Changjian was killed. Liu Zheng and Pan Hu escorted Lu Wenye to retreat to Anyang.

"The governor of the Constitution, the last general will be guilty." When he saw Qian Qianyi, Lu Wenye knelt down and cried bitterly.

Qian Qianyi sighed: "Get up, I don't blame you for this. I just didn't think well. I didn't expect that the Qing army in Shanxi still had the strength to counterattack."

When the soldiers come, they will block it, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it up.

Qian Qianyi ordered Wang Zhigang and Yan Xiaoyong to organize the city defense. Among his subordinates, only these two were regular generals and had rich combat experience.

Then Lao Qian became the hands-off shopkeeper, and Ren Erjiang was free to use his own free will. According to his words, he said, "Don't be suspicious of those you employ, and ignore those who are suspicious."

It's strange to say that my right eye kept twitching a few days ago, but after I became a salesperson, it stopped twitching. My body is in great shape, I eat deliciously, and I sleep much more peacefully.

??

Anyang City is said to be the place where Zhuanxu, one of the Five Emperors, established his capital. Later King Pan Geng of the Shang Dynasty moved his capital here.

The city was much stronger than Lin County, and the moat was wider. After Wang Zhigang and Yan Xiaoyong discussed it, the West City and Nancheng were weakly defended and might become the main attack direction of the Qing army, so Wang Zhigang guarded the West City, Yan Xiaoyong guarded the South City, and Zhao Qian was asked to guard the East City.

, Luo Lun defended Beicheng, and Lu Wenye's department was newly defeated and needed time to repair, so he stayed as a reserve team.

Although Qian Qianyi did not care about military affairs, he recruited more than 10,000 young and strong people and put 3,000 people on each city wall to assist the generals. He prepared more rolling logs, stones, gold soup, kerosene, and wolf fangs to demolish and cut down the houses beside the walls.

, trees, reinforced city walls, waiting for the Qing army.

When Chen Yuan and Zhang Enda arrived, Anyang City had become an iron barrel.

The Qing army began to fill in the moat. Although there were not many artillery on the city, there were still some. The sound of the artillery was rumbling, but it did not cause many casualties, but it slowed down the speed of filling the moat.

The Qing army finally filled up the river, and as expected, the main attack directions were Xicheng and Nancheng.

Wang Zhigang and Yan Xiaoyong guarded the city calmly. Their subordinates were all soldiers, and they had a strong city to rely on. Those who were far away used artillery, bows and arrows, and firecrackers, and those who were close used stones, rolling logs, swords and guns. When the battle was in full swing, the company

The common people who are defending are armed with sticks and kitchen knives to kill the enemy. If the army and the people are united, the mountains will be difficult to shake.

This is mainly due to the old Donglin Qian Qianyi. Under his manipulation, "rumors that the Qing army will massacre the city after the city is broken" spread in the city. In order to protect their parents and relatives, the young men who guarded the city burst out with bloody courage.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan and Zhang Enda turned to attack Beicheng. Beicheng relied on the Huan River and the army could not move. The Ming army Luo Lun who defended the city fought tenaciously and had no opportunity to take advantage.

Then they turned to attack the East City, and the defenders Zhao Qian's troops were originally garrison troops. Although their combat power was not as good as the fighting troops, they were higher than Luo Ren and Lu Wenye's troops. Wang Zhigang was afraid that Dongcheng would be lost, so he sent Lu Wenye's troops to reinforce them. It was difficult to fight!

The Qing army surrounded Anyang City and was unable to attack it, leaving corpses all over the ground.

"Alas! Governor Xian also said that Anyang Yixia was actually deceiving us." Chen Yuan sighed.

Zhang Enda said: "Brother Chen, we can't fight any more. If we fight any more, we will lose all our troops. How will you and I gain a foothold in the future?"

Chen Yuan nodded repeatedly, "We will not attack the city starting tomorrow. We will stick to the camp and preserve our strength. These days, only when you have soldiers can you have officials.
