Speaking of escaping, apart from him, Wang Yan, no one else could be found among the rebels. Mr. Wang can be said to be the founder of escaping, otherwise there would be no such thing as Xiufeng. With his many years of experience, it would be easy for him to escape.
It can be seen that this is the road deliberately released by the officers and soldiers.
It looks like a way to live, but it is actually a way to death.
With a way out, the remaining bandits began to flee towards Cenbo Town. The bandits had walked the same road before, but they did not expect to do so again. But this time, could Wang Yan's troops escape from Cenbo Town?
Wang Yan didn't want to retreat, at least he didn't want to retreat south. He wanted to fight to the death, fight the officers and soldiers, and then look for a chance to escape. Unfortunately, the officers and soldiers didn't give him a chance. As for escaping south, he didn't have high hopes. The Living King of Hell made this plan
With the huge plan, the Tongguan army will be included, and various countermeasures will definitely be formulated.
However, at the moment, there is no other choice but to follow the defeated troops and flee south. In this case, if you break out in another direction, it will be too eye-catching and you will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Cenbo Town, a place that brought endless pain to the rebels, will once again become a nightmare for the rebels. Zhou Dingshan finally came to Cenbo Town. If the cavalry of the First Army was temporarily formed and its combat effectiveness was not very strong, then Zhou Dingshan's
Our cavalry are definitely the best among the best. Each of these Yunfu cavalry is a treasure on the battlefield, an old fox who has walked out of the battlefield.
They are not afraid of the other party fighting hard, but they are afraid that the other party will not fight hard. The madness of the rogue bandits has a fundamental impact on the mood of this group of Yunfu cavalry. A scout rushed over quickly, sweat dripping from his forehead, "Report, a large number of remnants of the rogue bandits have already moved towards me."
We are coming from the direction of our troops, and the First Army is pursuing from behind. General Geng hopes that General Zhou can block the way of the rogue bandits and attack from both sides."
Zhou Dingshan just nodded lightly. Although many things have not been found out clearly, he can still guess. I am afraid that the strength of the First Army alone will not be able to resist this group of bandits, otherwise they would not be allowed to escape to Cenbo Town.
He said, "Yan Tao, organize heavy cavalry, wear soldiers' armor, and have a chain of horses crossing the wings. The rest of the people follow the heavy cavalry. I don't believe it. These bandits are made of iron. Don't you know how to be afraid?"
At this moment, Zhou Dingshan's brave and domineering side was fully revealed. If he could defeat this army of rogue bandits head-on, it would deal a fatal blow to the morale of the rogue bandits. In the past, heavy cavalry charged, and the chain horses then cut, but this time, Zhou Dingshan actually let the bandits
It is beyond common sense to charge from both sides. In recent years, more and more people have begun to look down on the low-yunfu cavalry, always thinking that without the heavy cavalry, the chain of horses cannot charge independently. In fact, this is an illusion.
On the Hanhai Grassland, Minte's cavalry was defeated head-on without anyone's help.
The Yunfu Cavalry is a variety of arms. Their strongest point lies in their flexibility and cooperation. Soon the remnants of the rogue soldiers arrived at the Cenbo Town position. Before they could take a breath, a group of two thousand people
The heavy cavalry rushed over. The heavy cavalry were ruthless. They were like the Iron Buddha. No matter how brave you were, they would crush you head-on without mercy. The rogue bandits came forward. This time they had no luck like before.
Under the thrust of the heavy cavalry, a large number of rogue soldiers rushed to the end, and the pitiful howls continued, seeming to herald the coming of the end.
The afterglow of the setting sun passed over a bloody corridor on the horizon, and a sad atmosphere continued to fill the air. The heavy cavalry used iron and blood to tear away the last confidence of the rogue bandits. How could the scattered infantry resist the cavalry? The chain of horses finally appeared. They charged horizontally, and the rogue cavalry formed a formation.
They were scattered, the iron ropes came around, the horses fell to the ground in pieces, and the cavalry swords with sharp cold light took away the lives of the rogue soldiers. These are the most elite Yunfu cavalry, they are far from the first army cavalry
Comparably, in the face of absolute strength, all the courage and courage will only send oneself to death faster.
At this moment, the bandit's confidence was crumbling little by little. The cavalry sword was raised, and poof, a bandit fell to the ground with his throat wailed. Zhou Dingshan looked at the Shura battlefield coldly. He had pity and a lot of intolerance in his heart, but
As a leading general, he also knew that he had to do this. To destroy the confidence of the bandits, he had to defeat them bit by bit from the places they were most proud of.
If they are brave, defeat them with bravery. If they are wise, defeat them with wisdom. Seeing the battle situation becoming clearer, Zhou Dingshan gently closed his eyes and said, "Give me the order. No prisoners will be left in this battle. Kill them all."
Zhou Dingshan wanted to use bloody methods to tell the rogue bandits that from now on they must not try to get involved in the territory of the Northern Shanxi Army. If they dare to commit crimes, one will be killed, and one pair will be destroyed.
Zhou Dingshan's ferocity did not arouse the resentment of the soldiers, but gave people a domineering image. This is the style that Zhou Laohu, the god of death, should have. Geng Zhongming led his people to Cenbo Town, but what was left to him was
After cleaning up the mess, the bandits who were scattered around and had no fighting spirit were no longer a threat. At this moment, everyone understood how far the First Army Cavalry was from the real Yunfu Cavalry. For the same Yunfu Cavalry, the gap was so big
.
Outside Yichuan City, the rogue bandits relied on their bravery to disperse the formation of the First Army. However, in Cenbo Town, Zhou Dingshan's troops actually faced the enemy head-on and defeated the opponent with a weak force. Not only did they defeat the enemy, but they also
The mental beating made the bandit tremble all over.
In the second battle of Cenbo Town, nearly 20,000 Tongguan garrison were wiped out, which seemed to declare the sacred and inviolable status of Yichuan City. Except for those who escaped by chance, not a single one of the Tongguan soldiers was left alive.
Wang Yan, who was best at escaping, was also killed by Yan Tao. With the end of the war in Cenbo Town, the war surrounding Xi'an City finally came to an end.
Gao Yingxiang obtained Lantian County, but lost tens of thousands of troops in Shangzhou, Heyang Plain and Cenbo Town outside Yichuan. His strength was greatly reduced. The veteran leader Wang Yan was killed, and there were only less than four remaining soldiers.
Hundreds of people. The bloody facts were in front of him. Gao Yingxiang had to admit that he failed again this time, and he failed so completely. Now Yichuan is naked and exposed to the attack of the rebel soldiers, but who dares to go to Yichuan City?
What happened in Cenbo Town continues to impact everyone's heart. Why didn't the officers and soldiers of Cenbo Town keep any prisoners during the First World War? It was to tell everyone that anyone who dared to touch Yichuan would be killed.
"The Living King of Hell is really cruel. He actually formulated such a huge plan to let us step into the trap step by step. What a pity, Wang Yan." As he spoke, Gao Yingxiang's eyes flashed with tears, and the battles were fought one after another.
After coming down, there are only less than 60,000 troops left in hand. What should we do next? Continue to attack Yichuan to avenge ourselves? The current strength of the army is simply not enough to support it.
Gao Yingxiang's heart was full of loneliness. He had never been so helpless as at this moment. He felt as if he was trapped in a huge chessboard and could no longer see his future.
The war in Yichuan has ended. Although Gao Yingxiang's life is not easy, Tie Mo's life is not easy either.
At the end of the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign, an official document was delivered to the capital, causing shock in the court. The governors of the three provinces, Tie Mo, worked closely with Chen Qiyu to severely inflict heavy losses on the rogue bandits in southern Yichuan, wiping out more than 20,000 people under Wang Yan's command. This news can be said to be
The best news in a whole year, Zhu Youjian was sitting in the imperial study room, his eyes shining brightly.
At this moment, Zhu Youjian felt that he could clean up the mess in the Ming Dynasty without leaving the country left behind by his ancestors in ruins.
Maybe it's because people feel refreshed when happy events happen. Zhu Youjian's complexion is much better. Zhu Youjian is in a good mood. On the one hand, it's because of Shaanxi's victory, and there's another reason. Since his teacher Sun Chengzong returned to Liaodong, everyone has been in a good mood this year.
The expenditure on wages and supplies was actually less than half of previous years.
A big victory in Shaanxi is definitely an exciting and good thing. But what Zhu Youjian didn't expect was what happened next. There was a regular court meeting early in the morning. As soon as he entered the hall, Zhu Youjian felt that the atmosphere was a bit...
wrong.
Sure enough, as soon as Qian Qianyi sat down, Ma Yingyuan, the Minister of Rites behind him, came out and said: "Your Majesty, it is gratifying that Yan'an Mansion is back under the imperial court. However, northern Shaanxi has suffered from successive military disasters. Since four years ago, rogue bandits have
Taking Yan'an Prefecture as a stronghold and occupying this place for a long time, many people's hearts are unstable and many things are waiting for improvement. At this time, there is an urgent need for a capable minister to take charge of Yan'an Prefecture to win over the people and prevent the blood of the soldiers from being shed in vain."
After hearing these words, Zhu Youjian, who was sitting on the throne, felt his heart skip a beat. How could Zhu Youjian not hear what Ma Yingyuan meant, but how could he agree? Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Cai, the Minister of War, had already raised his eyebrows.
Start getting out of the queue.
"Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Ma said is very reasonable. I recommend Mr. Cheng Taocheng, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to be appointed to the Yan'an Prefecture."
At this time, Cheng Jiming agreed in a very appropriate manner: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng and Mr. Chen, the governor of the three sides, are both Jinshi in the same discipline. It is most suitable for him to go to Yan'an Mansion. I second my opinion."
"I second the proposal!"
Listening to the cries of the ministers in the hall, one can imagine Zhu Youjian's mood. These people are really venting their anger. When they fought against the rogues before, they all did nothing. Now that the Yan'an Prefecture has been defeated, they are scrambling to fight.
Come out and take the lead.
If the proposal of these people is agreed to, then the prefect of Yan'an must be led by the cabinet. This has always been the rule, but this time Chongzhen wanted to change it. He wanted to send someone he truly trusted. At least, Zhu Youjian felt that even if Tie Mo himself
It would be better to find someone to be the prefect of Yan'an than these people.
He disagreed in his heart, but the rules of the court have always been like this. The cabinet proposed and the emperor nodded. For a moment, Zhu Youjian didn't know how to deal with the situation. He wanted to hear the objection, so he kept looking at Hou Shilu from the corner of his eye, but
Hou Shilu kept silent, as if what happened in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Zhu Youjian held the court meeting in a good mood, but ended up unhappy. After the court was over, he returned to the imperial study room angrily. On the other hand, he ordered Wang Chengen to find Hou Shilu. Hou Shilu entered the imperial study room and had not yet sat down.
, Zhu Youjian asked with an ugly expression: "Hou Aiqing, why did you say nothing just now? Don't you understand the thoughts of those people? What changes can be made by letting them continue to be in charge of Yan'an Mansion?"
"I hope that the situation in Shaanxi can get better. The blood of the soldiers on the three sides cannot be shed in vain. If one hundred thousand rogue bandits invade northern Shaanxi again, Ming Dynasty will not be able to withstand this kind of torment."
Zhu Youjian said with a heavy heart, Hou Shilu listened quietly. Facing Zhu Youjian's inquiry, he only had a wry smile on his face, "Your Majesty, what can I do in the situation at that time? The rules of the court have always been like this, local officials
The selection of the cabinet is subject to His Majesty's approval. We can not let Cheng Tao go today, and next time they will recommend someone else to block this time and the next time."
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't stop it, it's that I can't stop it. Your Majesty, do you think what they want is just a Yan'an prefect? They are going for Tie Mo. Just now, the ministers in the court can recommend Tie Mo for the time being.
Take over the Yan'an Prefecture, but what are the consequences of doing so? An important border official, take over the Yan'an Prefecture, what do you think will happen next?"
After listening to Hou Shilu's words, Zhu Youjian was stunned. He sat down and thought about it carefully, and a cold sweat broke out from his back. Isn't this a bad intention for an important border official to forcefully take charge of Yan'an Mansion? A big hat is buckled down.
, that would be uncomfortable.
After a long time, Zhu Youjian took a long breath and said, "It seems that I have thought things too simply. Things in Yan'an Mansion have to be dealt with slowly. Hou Aiqing, please write a letter to Tie Mo privately and talk about this."
situation."
After saying that, Zhu Youjian waved his hands a little tiredly. At this time, he felt a lot of helplessness in his heart. He didn't understand. He obviously wanted to do good things for the Ming Dynasty, but why couldn't he do anything? Why were those loyal and patriotic ministers
Always working against yourself?
At night, Hou Shilu wrote a letter by candlelight. He carefully considered his words, hoping to appease Tie Mo. For the sake of Yan'an Prefecture, Tie Mo almost drained the troops in northern Shanxi. Countless soldiers in northern Shanxi were killed and wounded in Shaanxi. In the end, in addition to verbal
As a reward, he didn't get any benefits. What should Tie Mo think? Hou Shilu was really afraid that Tie Mo would abandon his son and go back to northern Shanxi in anger. Now that the war is going on like this, wouldn't it be a pity if Tie Mo lets it go?
Hou Shilu was writing a letter, but what he didn't know was that what happened in the court had already flown to Shaanxi.
Under the stars at night, with the cool breeze like a knife, Zhang Yan was wrapped in a cloak and looked at the stars in the sky. Unfortunately, her eyes did not stay here, but flew over thousands of mountains and rivers and landed on that man. What happened in the court today was completely
It ignited the anger in her heart.
In fact, Zhang Yan has rarely done anything since she came to the West Palace. But today those people did this, and she felt it was very unfair. Tie Mo had worked so hard and risked his life to fight the bandits in Shaanxi, but in the end they were light-hearted.
Is it enough to pluck the fruit with just one sentence?
The letter has been sent out, Zhang Yan no longer cares about what will happen. In fact, when His Majesty sent her to the cold palace, her whole heart fell on Tie Mo. At least this man was kind and worthy of trust.
