The voice coming from behind shocked everyone in the Jinzhou Army: Oh no, we've been discovered!
Looking back, I saw a rebel army coming from the north. In front were a dozen rebels on horseback, and behind them was an endless group of infantry, stretching for several miles in the snow.
There were no fewer than thousands of people.
The rebel general who was riding in front of the rebels was grinning and cursing as he hit his horse and ran towards this side. It seemed that he didn't notice anything was wrong in front of him.
Everyone in Jinzhou was stunned at this time, and Shi Dayong's heart was beating violently. Obviously, the rebel general regarded the Jinzhou Army, who also came from Liaodong, as his Dongjiang rebels, because the military uniforms worn by both the enemy and us
They all wear the same uniform of the Liao army - a fat red coat covered with cotton armor and a big felt hat on their head. If the two armies meet together, it will be difficult to distinguish ourselves from the enemy except by their flags.
The rebel general and his men were running closer and closer, and were still more than 300 steps away from the Jinzhou Army.[
Neither distance nor time allowed Shi Dayong to hesitate for a moment. He had to make an immediate decision - attack or retreat.
As long as the rebels get closer, they will immediately find that these men and horses wearing the same military uniforms as them are faces they have never seen before!
"kill!"
Shi Dayong did not hesitate at all and ordered the attack in a deep voice.
Rather than trying to control someone later, it is better to strike first and catch him off guard before he understands the situation!
He clamped his legs together, pulled out his long sword, shouted loudly, and his horse immediately galloped out. The sword pointed at the rebel general who was just about to attack the horse.
The rebellious general was Chen Ouyou, a pirate who was born as a pirate but was fond of talking about history and the present, an elegant man who liked to socialize with scholars. The word "Confucian general" was the most common word on his lips. When he attacked the government and plundered the county,
Apart from wealthy women, his army captured the most scholars.
Kong Youde once asked him: "Why are you robbing so many scholars?"
Chen Ou's answer was: "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things cannot do without the assistance of literati."
Kong Youde was so disgusted by these words that if it had been anyone else, he would have chopped him off with a knife!
You Chen sometimes want to achieve great things, how can you leave me, Kong Youde!
Fortunately, Kong Youde knew his character, so he didn't care about his heart-wrenching answer and let him go with a smile.
When it snowed heavily last night, when Chen Youchou went out to look at the wind and snow, he suddenly had the idea of asking his predecessors to make a surprise attack on Caizhou on a snowy night. Taking advantage of the heavy snowfall, the Ming army was unprepared, and stormed hundreds of miles away to capture Shang County in one fell swoop.
The remnants of the Qianjing Camp's defeated troops were taken away so that they wouldn't have to hang around under their noses all the time.
Lying on the side of the collapse, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!
Chen sometimes admired what the newly kidnapped Zhao Xiucai said to him. It was so right. How could anyone else sleep next to my bed? What if he opened his eyes and found an unknown person lying next to him?
Asshole, isn't that very fucked up!
Zhao Xiucai told him that taking Shang County would mean that the Ming army in northern Zhili could no longer pose a threat to the general, and it also meant that Marshal Kong in the east could attack Dengzhou with confidence and boldness, and even capture Denglai.
Later, with Denglai as his foundation, he would march northward to compete with the emperor of the Zhu family. If God favored him, the Ming Dynasty would probably have to change its surname.
Chen Ou was so excited after what he said that he slapped his palm on the dining table, causing the bowls and chopsticks on the table to jump. Taking advantage of the drunkenness, without saying a word, he ordered the whole army to light up and immediately set off to attack.
Shang County.
Driven by three hundred elite soldiers of the Liao Army, the rebels reluctantly gathered together, but the weather was not kind to them, and the snow became heavier and heavier, and the wind became stronger and stronger, until it was so strong that people could not even open their eyes.
[
In this damn weather, let alone marching, I can't stand it even if I stand for a while. If I really want to send troops to attack Shang County, I'm afraid that the troops will disperse before they get halfway.
Zhao Xiucai also didn't expect that Chen would sometimes just do what he said. It was very windy and snowy outside, so there was no way he could make a surprise attack. Don't eat meat, and your teeth would break.
After the persuasion of his subordinates and some reasoning from Zhao Xiucai, Chen Youyou gave up the idea of attacking Shang County on a snowy night.
But at dawn, he issued another order. Except for leaving 500 men to guard Shahe, the rest of the soldiers and horses were dispatched with him. This time, he did not attack Shang County, but instead attacked Haixing County, southeast of Shang County.
.
Haixing County is close to the seaside. Since the Wuqiao uprising, the rebels have not touched the area. Therefore, people from all over the world have fled to Haixing. There are quite a lot of wealthy gentry in the city. Compared with the prefectures in Shang County that have been looted, Haixing County has been looted.
The wealth in Xingcheng is very tempting.
A pirate is a pirate. Even if he wears a few more layers of official clothes and reads hundreds of books, he will still be a pirate after all. If Chen insists on attacking Shang County sometimes, he might be able to defeat the city in one fell swoop. Because the Jing camp and Zhao in the city
The scholar's analysis was general, thinking that with such heavy snow, the rebels were also human beings and could not come out in the ice and snow, so the guards could be said to be extremely lax.
Even the city gates that had not been dared to be opened for two or three days were opened early in the morning. As long as Chen sometimes sent people to sneak into the city and suddenly rush out, the frightened Beijing camp would inevitably collapse.
, the great work was really achieved, and no official or army in North Zhili dared to have a thought against the rebels in Shahe or even Denglai.
Unfortunately, his greed for money blinded Chen Youyou's eyes. He finally chose Haixing County and sent another 500 people to Shandong as a partial army to confuse the Lu soldiers in Shandong and prevent them from going south to Shahe.
Sure enough, Haixing County, which was thought to be far away from the rebels, was not on guard against the arrival of the rebels. With just a burst of gunfire, the Ming army stationed in Haixing collapsed. In just half an hour, Chen Youyou successfully captured Haixing County.
After entering the city, after some burning, killing and looting, Chen Youyou was satisfied and rushed back to his lair in Shahe with the stolen gold and silver and the woman.
Because there were too many goods and women stolen, the march slowed down. When they finally got back, they saw many war horses in front of them from a distance.
Seeing the war horses, Chen You's eyes suddenly lit up. As a leader, how could he not want to own a cavalry?
Moreover, he instinctively thought that the soldiers and horses in front were Wang Dashu's troops who were sent to Shandong by him, and he had no doubt that the soldiers in front were officers and soldiers. When he saw the military uniforms the other party was wearing, he was even more convinced that it was Wang Dasha who was in Shandong.
I robbed a lot of war horses and came back. Because in the Northern Zhili territory, apart from the Dongjiang soldiers and horses, there are no soldiers and horses wearing the military uniforms of Liao Town!
The recent Liao soldiers were all surrounded by the general in Dengzhou City. The one in front was either Wang Dashou or someone else!
Chen Youyou, who was so dazzled by those war horses, ran over with his whip in ecstasy. He was not aware of the danger at all.
Wang Dashao is the nickname of Wang Tiande, the former guard of the left camp of the Dengzhou Infantry Army. He was very courageous. He almost risked his life on the battlefield. No matter how strong the enemy was, he dared to lead his troops to charge. Back then, he accompanied Mao Shuai to attack the Jinren.
When he was at the rear, he led more than a dozen soldiers and more than a hundred golden cavalry to fight. In the end, only one man was left, but he still fought to the death. The golden men were overwhelmed by his momentum and abandoned him.
After the war, Marshal Mao held his hand and said with emotion: "Everyone in the world is afraid of the Jiannu, and they flee every battle, but you can drive away the strong Jiannu soldiers on your own. It is really a blessing for me to have you under my command, and for the court."
fortunate!"
A group of Dongjiang generals thought differently from Mao Shuai. They all said that Wang Tiande was a fool and did not fight like this. This was simply stupid. Is it worth it if he really lost his life?
Over time, the nickname "Idiot Wang" spread among the army. When mentioned this nickname, half of it was admiration for Wang Tiande's courage to fight, and half of it was ridicule of his stubborn head.
After all, the Dongjiang Army was not soldiers paid by the imperial court. They were paid by Marshal Mao. There was no need to serve the imperial court to the death.
During the Pidao mutiny, Wang Tiande also surrendered to Liu Xingzhi. After Liu Xingzhi's death, he was taken to Denglai by Kong Youde.[
Because he valued Wang Tiande's bravery, Kong Youde also valued him very much. Feeling the kindness of Kong Youde, after the Wuqiao Incident, although Wang Tiande had doubts about the uprising, he still fought back to Denglai with Kong Youde.
After Kong Youde went east to Dengzhou, the 300 elite Liao soldiers left to Chen You were led by Wang Tiande.
Chen sometimes led troops to attack Haixing County. Wang Tiande, who was ordered to raid and harass Shandong territory, had a hundred Liao soldiers under his command.
At this moment, he was also leading his troops to Shahe.
Looking at those horses, there might be hundreds of them. With these hundreds of horses, Chen You will be able to form a cavalry immediately and become the only general in the rebel army with cavalry. He will no longer suffer from the lack of cavalry.
If it hurts, you can stretch your hand longer.
In the excitement and ecstasy, I fell in love with the fool Wang so much that I thought that this fool had made a great contribution this time. I must give him more of the beautiful women I snatched from Haixing today and reward him well.
However, after running forward happily for dozens of steps, Chen sometimes felt that something was wrong. In the past, every time he called Wang Tiande, the idiot would always say something to him, but today, the idiot Wang seemed to be mute.
, and he didn’t even say hello to himself.
what happened?
Strange in his heart, Chen sometimes subconsciously looked at the knights on horseback and found that they were all maintaining a fighting posture. He suddenly thought: No, these soldiers are not Wang Da Fool's people!
In addition to the one hundred Liao soldiers that Wang Tiande took away, the other four hundred were all new recruits. Even among the one hundred Liao soldiers, none of them could ride a horse. How could they make a fighting posture on a horse that only cavalry could do?
"Hush!"
After knowing that something was wrong, Chen Shichang suddenly reined in the horse and let out a long hiss due to the pain.
When the dozen or so soldiers who came with Chen Shi saw him, they didn't know what was going on. They all reined in their horses and looked at their general in confusion.
"Run quickly, it's officers and soldiers!"
Chen sometimes shouted hurriedly and wanted to hit his horse and run back.
After hearing this, the soldiers were immediately panicked. Two of them glanced at the Jinzhou Army unbelievingly. When they discovered that a masked general suddenly rushed over with a sword drawn from the opposite side, their expressions immediately changed with horror.
