Chapter 66 Hong Chengchou's first defeat

Seeing this formation, the captured officials and soldiers were so scared that they could not even speak.

I just hope that King He will not make things difficult for them, they are also trying to make a living.

These days, they dare not seek wealth and honor, they only want to have enough food.

There is no good treatment for the government army. I hope to turn to the thief camp and be able to turn over.

He Jinchao just arranged for people to make porridge, and sent people to ask first what background they were from, where they lived, to register their population, and to find out the details.

Dang Shousu had long said that he knew this process was already familiar.

The captain is very likely to want to take this group of guards under his command. Although it is bad, at least they are young and strong, and they can be used to raise them.

The incident of He Jinchao attacking Hong Chengchou soon spread in Ganquan County. The air was mixed with the smell of fireworks and more than a thousand captured soldiers were proof of this.

The news of the city massacre of the official army caused panic. The people in the city were afraid that He Jinchao could not stand the city and rushed to express his determination to him first.

All of them were rejected by He Jinchao, and they were asked to wait home and feel at ease.

A large number of official troops came outside, and the leader was Hong Chengchou, who resounded throughout Shaanxi.

This made the people of Ganquan County panic. Even though they defeated the invading enemy last time, they were not the official army.

When they saw that He Jinchao was not as brave as a little overlord, he fought Hong Chengchou when he came up and was defeated, but he captured so many official troops.

For a time, the people of Ganquan County became more and more convinced of He Jinchao, at least their lives were saved.

Zhao Bancheng looked at the beggars and soldiers, standing on the city wall again, and looking at the unextinguished flames of the Ming army camp.

He knew that the Ming Dynasty was over!

The thieves in Shaanxi were unable to strangle them completely, especially the rebels like He Jinchao who could fight, which made the court even more trouble.

Many people do not leave their homes, but as a big businessman, he travels around the world many times.

There was no rain in Yan'an Prefecture last year, and all the plants and trees were withered. The people of the people collected weeds in the mountains to feed them. When the weeds were gone, they ate the bark. If the bark was light, they ate the stones in the mountains.

The stone is cold in nature and fishy, ​​and eating less will make you full. After a few days, you will bloat and fall and die.

Then there was the smell of stinking, and these things were concealed because the new emperor ascended the throne.

Until this year, Shaanxi had another severe drought, and the rebels gathered more and more, and they began to conquer cities and land. Even the soldiers launched a rebellion and could not cover the lid.

At the end of the dynasty, the first one to be hit was a wealthy family like him.

Everyone knows to steal rich people.

Fortunately, He Jinchao became the leader of the traitor and did not rob him, which gave him hope!

Zhao Bancheng sighed, it’s not that I don’t want to rely on the Ming Dynasty to make a living, it’s because he can’t keep my family’s wealthy life.

He really wanted to replace the court and become the local emperor of Ganquan County.

It is obviously impossible to reach this point!

Even though He Jinchao plundered the Fan family's food, he had to raise so many people, and the land outside the city could not even be farmed and could not be kept.

But the victory in front of him still made Zhao Bancheng feel very secure. When He Jinchao left, he had to stuff his son into his team.

The military and civilians in Ganquan County each have their own ideas.

The generals in the Ming army camp outside the city naturally looked very bad.

Clear out the losses, and there is still a bottom layer of food and grass left, because the compaction is not burned by fire, and it is not even enough for the whole army to have a meal.

But killing the dead war horses and eating them may allow everyone to taste the taste of meat porridge.

However, the loss of war horses was serious, and the guards who ran away while the chaos and the surrendered guards were not considered human at all.

Three thousand elite soldiers were killed and injured, mainly because they were burned by fire, shot by arrows, and injured by explosives in the chaos.

In order to stop the defeated troops from attacking Hong Chengchou's central army tent, they were killed.

Listening to these losses, Hong Chengchou's face became increasingly ugly, and the air pressure in the tent was extremely low.

All the generals were all experienced and had many battles, but now they were caught off guard by a small postman they had never looked down upon in the past.

It's really embarrassing if this matter is spread.

However, compared with the guerrilla Gao Conglong, everyone is still lucky. After all, he died, and there were more than 2,000 casualties among his subordinates.

This is a masterpiece of Wang Jiayin and others, just three months ago.

Since Hong Chengchou was chased by Yang He's temporary general, he has won consecutive victories against his rebels and has never suffered a single defeat.

Today, he was defeated by a newly-rise rebel He Jinchao.

In ordinary reports, the cannon fodder of the soldiers of the Dead Guards will not be reported at all. Only when elite soldiers are killed or injured will they be reported.

This is still considered to be Hong Chengchou has a conscience.

Who cares about the lives of cannon fodder?

Hong Chengchou looked around everyone in the tent:

"The example of high guerrilla is right in front of us. If we cannot strangle He Jinchao, we will be sorry to Your Majesty and the people."

Most of these two things are used by civil servants to occupy the moral high ground, and they have never really taken them to heart.

"Master Hong, I am willing to lead people to attack the city." He Caizi took a step directly.

Hong Chengchou touched his beard without saying anything, and he also needed capital to attack the city!

There is no capital now.

Siege is not that easy to attack.

Just listen to He Caizi's words.

"General He, how do you think you should attack the city?"

He Huchen, who was standing in front, didn't even raise his eyes and said, "Buldozhan."

This is the safest way to deal with it at present.

As long as you pile the earthen mountains high enough, you can shoot arrows directly from the high place to suppress the thieves in the city.

How can the Ming army cut corners when they lose their arrows? That is better than the thief.

What's more, the rebels are not in the armor, and they will definitely suffer heavy losses under large-scale attacks.

But it costs food, people and time!

Without the family background of the three ministers of the four generations, ordinary people cannot support it.

"Can you pile up in ten days higher than Ganquan County?" Hong Chengchou still asked.

"We lack food and grass, and our army is attacked from the back and forth, so I'm afraid we can't."

He Huchen didn't want to hold on, and now he is at the end of his life.

Now that we can't enter Ganquan County, there are also a large number of rebels such as Wang Jiayin and others stationed in Fanjia Manor.

The fire of He Jinchao yesterday completely burned out their confidence, making them deeply realize that He Jinchao is not the kind of soft persimmon that can be pinched at will.

Nowadays, not only is it very difficult for them to pinch, but they also punch you and smash your two front teeth.

Hong Chengchou's first headache now is food and grass. If the food and grass problem is solved, there will be hope in the future.

But if the food and grass problem cannot be solved, then He Jinchao will be defeated without taking another move.

Even if you are elite soldiers, it is useless.

It is impossible to withdraw troops now, and it is very easy to be pursued by He Jinchao.

Hong Chengchou was very grateful for his decision yesterday, that is, he had to kill He Jinchao.

"If there is enough food and supplies, can it be done in ten days?"
