Chapter 340 Torrent
Annihilation of the enemy in front of you instead of defending Luoyang City has become the common slogan of the entire Luoyang City military and civilians.
Luoyang is not like Chenyang. In this city, all Han people are all Han people, and they have the same hatred for the enemy.
And what is stored in this city is not just gold, silver and jewelry like Chenyang; here there are huge reserve grain warehouses, huge weapons warehouses for the frontlines. There are prosperous businesses and various materials stored in the hands of merchants.
As soon as the notice of recruiting volunteers to guard Luoyang was released, the first batch of candidates were the adopted sons of Wang Xuejun who had grown up in the city.
Then there was a young and strong man, even the shops dedicated their apprentices and all the gentry and wealthy families to their servants. In a blink of an eye, another 50,000 army was formed.
Open the weapon warehouse, equip them with the most exquisite armor and the most advanced muskets, launch powerful cannons, and then drive up the city walls to guard them.
Zhang Zhiji and Hong Chengchou's strategic and tactical methods are to first consume the enemy's vitality in the guard, and then go out of the city to fight to the decisive battle.
In order to achieve this strategic goal, the two of them held back and left 10,000 Beijing camps in the military camp as the fist for the decisive battle in the future.
In the countryside, the people spontaneously stood up. The village chiefs who were veterans as leaders of units began to join the village and then join the county.
In this way, the entire Henan will be combined into one huge volunteer army and heading towards Luoyang City.
Wang Xiaoer, the prefect of Kaifeng, was originally a bandit.
At this time, he took off the civil servant's robe and put on the armor of the military general. He handed over his seal of the prefect to his deputy: "I will take our Kaifeng's righteousness to break the siege of Luoyang and fight for the king. The entire Kaifeng Prefecture will be handed over to you, and you must manage him well."
Tongzhi nodded solemnly: "If I weren't old, I would have to follow the general. But when I was old, I would have to do old things. General, please rest assured. What do you need? I will do my best to meet the supply in the rear. When you win and triumphantly, I will hand over a safe and prosperous Kaifeng Prefecture to you."
Wang Xiaoer picked up the rifle at hand and walked out of the yamen with big strolls.
In the square of the yamen, thirty of his fifty brothers were well equipped, and behind them were the teams they led.
Facing the solemn righteous bravery, Wang Xiaoer shouted to them: "I have nothing to say now. Everyone has a heartfelt support and serve the king Luoyang."
Then he flew onto a horse and left first.
When we arrived in Zhengzhou, the bravery of Zhengzhou was already waiting halfway.
The commander of Zhengzhou met Wang Xiaoer and bowed to him: "You are a veteran on the battlefield. Although I am a military position, I have no experience in fighting on the battlefield. Now I will hand over 12,000 Zhengzhou volunteers to you and obey your command."
Wang Xiaoer nodded without hesitation: "Then join my team and let's continue to move forward."
When they arrived in Dengfeng, a volunteer team from Shandong caught up and they also joined Wang Xiaoer's team.
As we walked along this way, when we were about to arrive in Luoyang, the team led by Wang Xiaoer had expanded to a scale of 30,000.
At this time, he met someone he thought he would never meet again in his life, Tian Jianxiu, who was a simple follower, and his old leader.
The poor performance of the 2nd Army shocked Mrs. Gao at that time. When Hotan Jianxiu discussed, he decided that Tian Jianxiu went to the capital to apologize. Mrs. Gao went to the front line in person to take over Li Guo's military power, strictly enforce military discipline, and stabilize the position.
Mrs. Gao personally took action and went to the front line, scolded and whipped her nephew Li Guo, and then issued an order. If the soldiers of the 2nd Army collapsed when they encountered the enemy, one would collapse and kill the squad leader, one would collapse and kill the platoon leader, and so on until she committed suicide and apologized.
At the same time, strictly orders were issued to gather all the collapsed soldiers, and then they were organized into atonement camps, and they were pushed to the most intense places in the battlefield, so that they could be suicide squads.
Under such strict military discipline, the Yellow River, which was defended by the 2nd Army, tightly resisted the Qing Dynasty's enemies who were ready to continue to advance to Luoyang. Finally, the Yellow River defense line was stabilized.
Tian Jianxiu met his former subordinate Wang Xiaoer. Seeing that he had 30,000 brave men, he immediately changed his idea of going to Beijing to apologize.
"Can you hand over your army to my command?" Tian Jianxiu no longer dared to order the original soldier, but instead took a tone of request.
Wang Xiaoer pointed his head like a little chick pecking rice: "Boss, as long as you can command us to clear the siege of Luoyang, I will leave my life to you."
Tian Jianxiu was the chief manager of the Five Army under Li Zicheng and his think tank. If he handed over the team to him, he would definitely be able to achieve greater results.
After taking over the army, Tian Jianxiu immediately analyzed the enemy situation with Wang Xiaoer: "Now there are tens of thousands of the most elite troops of the Qing Dynasty under Luoyang City. We just crashed into it like this, which was to hit the stone with eggs. We cannot let these volunteers make unnecessary sacrifices in vain."
"The boss manager is right. We will all listen to you if the boss manager decides."
The reason why Tian Jianxiu said this was actually to avoid suspicion, and was afraid that the court would suspect that he had ulterior motives to seize military power and preserve his strength with ulterior motives.
In fact, he was too concerned at this time, because even if he had a different mind and really that way, he would not be able to command the army.
"The enemy's tens of thousands of troops were stationed under Luoyang City. It looked like the black tiger was full of momentum, but in fact he had already fallen into our vast ocean. Now, he can only replenish his supplies for 100,000 people. One way is to transport their old nests from Shaanxi to the front line. Another way is to rob locally."
"The boss manager quickly ordered the people to strengthen their walls and clear the country."
Tian Jianxiu smiled and shook her head: "This method is too late."
"Then we can't watch them and rob our supplies to support them."
Tian Jianxiu smiled and said, "If you use these materials to support them, they will have to send troops to rob them. These materials have become bait to lure them into division. Isn't that the case?"
Wang Xiaoer immediately realized: "It's still the boss's chief executive. We can't fight head-on with the enemy's brigade. Then we annihilate them one by one and come out to grab food. With our large number of people, we will definitely fight and fight each other."
"It's this opinion that we will give him a little bit of candy, constantly ambushing their small grain robbery troops, constantly consuming their vitality. In the end, they dare not come out to grab grain, but if there are too many people, it will weaken their attack on Luoyang City. We will waste it with him."
The leaders of various rebel army applauded for this method.
At this time, a leader of the rebel army who had just met immediately proposed: "Our town is not small in size, and the enemy will definitely attack our town. We will ambush them on the way they must come."
Ta Mixiu made the decision at that time: "Then our first battle starts here. You can be a guide and find an ambush in favorable terrain."
The leader immediately raised his chest: "Yes." He led the army and rushed towards his most familiar hometown.
