Chapter Eight Hundred and Fourteen
The ferry in Lingbao County has been completely occupied by more than 4,000 peasant soldiers. The officers and soldiers had no time to burn the ferry, and there was no chance to burn it. Li Guo and others acted very quickly, and the only dozens of cavalrymen rushed into the ferry and quickly took control.
After the situation, the officers and soldiers were dispersed by the chaotic crowd, and they had no time to gather together and were killed by the cavalry.
Li Zicheng came to the ferry with a large army. The people had already run away. Dozens of corpses were abandoned at the ferry. These were civilians who were unfortunately trampled to death during the escape. Li Zicheng came to the ferry and bowed his hand to him.
The boatmen said, "Everyone, I am Li Zicheng, Shaanxi, the leader of this rebel army. You have also seen it. We are carrying the banner of the way of heaven, so you don't have to be afraid, we won't do anything.
For an excessive matter, as long as you can safely send us across the Yellow River, I, Li Zicheng, here I guarantee that everyone can get a reward of ten taels of silver, and I, Li Zicheng, keep my word. You should believe it." After that, Li Zicheng was by his side
One of the personal soldiers winked. The personal soldiers understood and immediately took out a small package from their bodies and opened it for the boatmen to see that it was filled with white silver, which was the money seized by Li Zicheng in the county government office in the attack on Shanyang County.
The boatmen saw the real money and silver, and then believed Li Zicheng's words. It seemed that this movie was really a rebel army, not a thief. As we all know, the so-called thief is a robber, but this group of people not only did not do this, on the contrary
It is very fair. As long as they help them cross the river, they can get ten taels of silver. This is a great thing. Henan is not as good as Nanzhili. An ordinary farmer may not be able to earn ten taels of silver a year.
The silver Li Zicheng took out was of good quality, and it was obvious that it was solid sterling silver. This money would be in vain. An older boatman replied, "General, benevolence and righteousness, we are willing to serve."
Li Zicheng nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's set off immediately, don't waste time. I took a rough look. There are so many of you boatmen here, and you can transport all my men and horses in at most two trips." Li Zicheng's words just ended.
Li Guo immediately asked everyone to board the boat. Crossing the river is not like crossing the sea. Crossing the sea requires you to grasp the time. There is a difference between rising tides and falling tides. The Yellow River basically does not have this priority, but it is necessary to avoid undercurrents. The Yellow River flows much faster than the Yangtze River, so
There are many undercurrents in the Yellow River. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. Moreover, people who live by the Yellow River know that there is a saying that the vortex is around but not inside.
.What does it mean? The undercurrents and whirlpools in the Yellow River section are often very close to the river bank. If you reach the center of the Yellow River, it will be safer. This is because the bottom of the Yellow River is different from the Yangtze River and most other river waters.
, Generally, they are in the shape of a valley, with shallows on both sides, and the deeper in the middle. The deeper the river towards the center of the river, the greater the depth at the bottom. The Yellow River is just the opposite. The bottom of the Yellow River is the shape of the crucian carp back, with a raised middle.
It is deep on both sides of the river bank, so the old boatmen understand that people who fall into the water in the center of the river often have some rescues, but it is difficult for people who fall into the water on the shore to get rescue.
The Yellow River section in Henan is even more different from other places. The Yellow River section in Henan is a typical wandering river section. The terrain at the bottom of the river is more complex, and because the mud and sand are loose, the shape will often change under the impact of the river.
This causes the water flow here to be very unstable, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Unless you are a very experienced boatman, most people will encounter dangers when crossing the river like this. So many people are seeing an introduction to ancient wars.
When I always feel that yellow
The river is natural and the Yellow River is natural and dangerous. From the perspective of the present, the Yellow River is not particularly wide. Why can’t the enemy get through the blockade of the Yellow River? It is precisely because most river sections are not suitable for crossing the river, and people who don’t understand often
Can feed fish, and the convenient place to cross the river has been established by the defending party to establish cities or checkpoints, so of course it is not easy to cross. Therefore, a Yellow River can prevent many invasions from the northern nomadic peoples. Otherwise, the Yellow River cannot be from China.
Mother River.
Li Zicheng's men were divided into two groups. Li Guo first took half of his men to cross the river. Li Zicheng ordered him to occupy the beach on the other side immediately after crossing the river, establish his position, and cover the subsequent troops to land. You must know that the situation in Shanxi is for Li Zicheng.
It was also blank. These things were heard from the truth. Li Zicheng himself didn't know what was going on in Shanxi and where Gao Yingxiang's troops had hit. People must believe the words, nor can they believe them all. Li Zicheng knew this in his mind.
The boatmen shouted horns and shook the oars in their hands. Li Zicheng watched Li Guo and some of his brothers get farther and farther away, and finally the ship turned into small black dots. "Each division followed the orders, and the entire army formed a defensive formation and turned around.
Backwards!" He immediately ordered the two thousand troops around him to turn directions and set up a formation facing Lingbao County. This reflected Li Zicheng's extremely high military literacy. He did not relax his vigilance under any circumstances, even if he was himself
He had easily occupied the ferry and was always on guard against threats from the rear. Li Zicheng did not understand the situation in Lingbao County. This time, Zongheng in Henan was a risky interlude with great skills and courage. If it was not a little bit difficult,
Shen would be surrounded by officers and soldiers. He knew that Henan Governor Gao Mingheng had many Ming generals under his command. There were also King Fu Jufan in Luoyang City, and there were many officers and soldiers in Henan.
"Quick, get off the boat, you're all damn fast. Flip down from both sides, don't wait for the boat to dock." Li Guo, who was already close to the shore, couldn't wait to order the soldiers to get off the boat. Before they docked, the soldiers of course had to have no choice but to have no choice but to have no choice but to have no choice but to have no choice but to have no choice but to have no choice but to have no choice but to have no choice but to have no choice but to have no
Flip down from both sides and swim a distance to get ashore. This is Li Guo’s common sense mistake. He is not a person living on the bank of the Yellow River. Naturally, he doesn’t know the rules of the Yellow River. He thought that the water of the Yellow River was the same as other places, and was in the middle.
Deep, shallow on both sides, now they have arrived at the shallows, and they can step on the bottom even after turning. The soldiers beside him followed the orders, and someone immediately turned over.
Go. The boatman jumped up in a hurry: "General, you can't get off the boat now, so you can't get on it now! It's so deep on both sides!" As soon as the boatman finished speaking, some soldiers who jumped into the water and died of rest.
A series of bubbles only appeared on the water, but no one came up for a long time. Li Guo felt aware that it was not good, he made a big mistake. When the soldiers behind saw the situation in front and the ship owner's reminder, they naturally became more
I didn't dare to go into the water. But more than 100 people had already turned around in front of me, which was fine. I lost more than 100 people without any combat.
Li Guo no longer dared to make decisions without authorization, and waited for the ship to dock, and then the soldiers landed one by one. Li Guo followed Li Zicheng's order and stabilized the formation, forming a convex formation, guarding the beach, but in fact there was nothing.
Danger, the beach heads of the boatmen chose by the old boatmen were very calm. It seems that this is a wild beach, not a commonly used ferry in Shanxi. The old boatmen have a lot of experience and know that these rebels want is whereabouts.
It was hidden, so I specially chose such a place to let them get ashore. Those who were not on the boat basically didn’t know this place. Even the boatmen in their team, those who were a little younger didn’t understand these tricks.
After about one or two hours, Li Zicheng's second echelon finally appeared in the sight of Li Guo and others. Li Zicheng himself did not expect that everything would be so smooth, and more than 4,000 people could easily pass it.
The Yellow River has arrived in an unknown area, Shanxi, Li Zicheng has never been there once, and he doesn't know how the situation in Jin territory is, especially his uncle, who has developed into what he has. Li Zicheng did not break his promise and distributed the money to the boatman.
, each person has 10 taels. The boatmen thanked him so much and praised the righteous army as a benevolent and righteous army. This is exactly the effect Li Zicheng wanted. Killing is not a good way. If you want to fight against the court, the most important thing is to invite you to buy
People’s hearts, and the most important thing to buy people’s hearts is to bring benefits to the people.
These boatmen are ready-made people who promote the benevolence and righteousness of the righteous army. They have accumulated a lot of good reputation in Shanyang County and Lingbao County. They cannot stay in Shanxi forever, as long as they fight in Henan and Shaanxi.
, the people support themselves, and they are not afraid that the team will not be supplemented or strengthened. As for the mistake Li Guo made just now, Li Zicheng does not want to pursue it at present, and Li Guo is considered to be an unaware of it. Now it is the time to use people, so this time the matter is
It was overwhelmed.
Half a day later, Li Zicheng's army boarded the official road. The people of Shanxi on the official road were so scared that they were out of their minds. They were fleeing to avoid Gao Yingxiang's men, but they didn't expect to encounter unknown thieves here.
There was no clear idea of Li Zicheng's background, and they fled into the dense forest beside the official road, making it difficult for Li Zicheng to ask about the road. Fortunately, Li Guo and his cavalry caught some civilians, and then they understood the situation clearly.
The rebel army had already captured Ruicheng County, and the army was gathering in Ruicheng. Li Zicheng thought for a while and immediately ordered the troops to march westward and rushed to Ruicheng immediately. At this time, the earlier they would be more guaranteed.
"King of Chuang, an unidentified army appeared twenty miles northeast, with about 4,000 people. The brothers came close to investigate, not officers and soldiers!" The county government of Ruicheng County, outside the city was a camp where hundreds of thousands of troops gathered. Ruicheng County,
The small temple in Chengxian cannot accommodate the big Buddha. Except for the main generals of Gao Yingxianghe and the old camp soldiers inside and outside the city, the rest of the people camped outside the city. The camp of hundreds of thousands of people surrounded the entire Ruicheng County. At this moment,
