stubborn thief

Chapter 452 Rocket, Rocket!
Bai Guangen pursued fiercely.

He is a small thief, he hangs his head on the waistband of his trousers to fight with the officers and soldiers, becomes a small boss, and bets all his wealth as a traitor. He has the official position of supervisor and general today because of his extraordinary ability bold.

At best, it is decisive and brave, but at worst, it is extremely gambling.

At first he advanced slowly and in a regular manner, because he didn't know where the enemy was or how many there were.

At this time, guerrilla Li Yun had already found out the enemy's situation for him at the cost of his life, Bai Guangen didn't worry anymore, and issued two orders very decisively.

The first is to send someone to tell Hong Chengchou that Liu Chengzong's army is likely to come over the mountain; the second order is to order the whole army to divide into three formations.

The [-] remaining infantry of the guerrilla general Li Yun formed the second formation to escort the chariots; Take the lead and go straight to the king for his own use.

Bai Guangen didn't have many cavalry, but Wang Ziyong didn't have enough confidence, he didn't dare to fight at all, he turned his head and ran desperately, and while running, he was thinking in his heart that his life would probably be here this time.

Because he is very familiar with this kind of tactics, which is a common tactics of the Northwest Ming army.

Although Wang Ziyong was not a traditional general with a professional background, he basically learned the tactics of warfare after being beaten and survived.

In the past when he started an incident in Ningxia, he was beaten all over the place by the officers and soldiers with such tactics. He even knew what would happen if he stopped.

As long as they are caught up, this cavalry will completely stick to him, entangle him, not let him eat, not let him drink, not let him sleep, not let him dismount to fight, and will not fight with him until the back The two formations have completed the encirclement, and at that time there is no chance to fight recklessly, only to lose in the fight and then be defeated all the way.

This is a rich battle method of fighting more and less, and using the strong to attack the weak. It is a combat skill honed by the Ming army in the Northwest and the Mongols. Resilience, equipment and quality.

As for Bai Guangen's elite cavalry, some of them were veterans when Hong Chengchou was in charge of Yansui Town, and the other part were veterans who followed him to surrender and later recruited to surrender. They all had strong resilience.

Wang Ziyong didn't dare to fight against Bai Guangen, so he could only run away as if he was seeing a natural enemy, cursing the street while running: "I saw that the Taoist came here to find someone to kill, and send you all to heaven!"

But in fact, he didn't know where he should run. The tens of thousands of congregations of Sanjiehui in Gansu could not save him at this time, and Zhang Tianlin...all the weapons and equipment Zhang Tianlin needed were on them.

Therefore, he had no choice but to act as a living horse doctor and fled in the direction of Liyuan Castle.

There were little sixteen mages from the Three Tribulations Society, and hundreds of battalion soldiers who were instigated to mutiny in Liyuan Castle.

Zhang Tianlin, the killer in Wang Ziyong's mind, is furious.

The pass on Qilian Mountain froze him to death, and he finally came down from the mountain, only to find out that Wang Ziyong had gone to war with weapons, and he trembled with anger.

Zhang Tianlin regards the mission of crossing Qilian Mountain this time as an opportunity to prove herself.

As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken than a queen. Like Wang Ziyong, he rebelled earlier than Liu Chengzong, but the difference from Wang Ziyong is that Wang Ziyong has no military background.

And Guo Tianxing Zhang Wu was born in the frontier military management team, and he was a soldier in Yuhebao. He was the predecessor of Liu Chengzu's management team position.

It was a cavalry.

The tough battles after the joint venture were all fought by Liu Chengzong's headquarters in the lion camp. Zhang Tianlin's headquarters has been beating side drums with Liu Chengzu until he entered Qinghai.

For this opportunity, he was even willing to let Liu Chengzong send him to Tianshan.

Fighting across the Qilian Mountains was the first time Zhang Tianlin led an army to fight alone in the Marshal's Mansion.

Before arriving at Beilu, he made a lot of plans for himself, from defeating the enemy in field battles to conquering the city and cutting off the Hexi Corridor with troops in Gansu. He never expected to face the enemy with bare hands before the first step even started.

But he really blamed this matter for his own use. Zhang Tianlin, who was repairing at Bazidun, could only be so angry that she could not be exposed at the wrong time.

If it was exposed a few days earlier, the main force of Liu Chengzong's Marshal's Mansion had not set off yet, and the plan could be changed; if it was exposed a few days later, it would not affect their military operations.

Just at this time, the army of the Marshal's Mansion had already marched towards Jiayuguan, Zhang Tianlin turned over Qilian Mountain with bare hands, and opened her eyes to the hopeless situation.

Not having weapons and horses is actually a trivial matter. Zhang Tianlin had been a leader, and he could clearly feel that the real big problem was that the atmosphere in the camp was not good under such a desperate situation that anyone with a discerning eye could see.

The soldiers are desperate and confused about the future. At this time, if he dares to let the army march northward with bare hands, the soldiers dare to mutiny.

He summoned the officers of his subordinates to discuss matters in the field, and said: "At this time, I don't care about others. Everyone in the military law knows that this will be a dead end, and I don't care about many things. I just say one rule, you can't kill people."

The military officers discussing the matter all heard his subtext, and Feng Dakui, the commander-in-chief who once led the cavalry to penetrate Dong Xueli's cavalry in the Hehuang battle, dissuaded him: "General, I am afraid that Huang Fan will not hand over the armor to us. I am afraid that we will grab it by force." The commander-in-chief will not blame you afterwards..."

Feng Dakui shook his head, there is no need to say the following, the generals present are all leading the army, they know the consequences of violating the military law, and to ensure the combat effectiveness of an army, there are only rewards and punishments.

As one of the four most elite battalions of the Marshal's Mansion, the lowest rank of soldiers in the battalion is first-class officers. They have the most generous treatment from the [-]th Battalion of the Marshal's Mansion, and they also enforce the strictest military laws.

The military law of the Marshal's Mansion is the same in each battalion, but the implementation will always vary from person to person.

For example, talking casually during the march, even though the military law does not allow it, if it is a Mongolian soldier in the grazing camp, this is not a big deal; if it is a township soldier in the five towns of Hehuang, it will only be reprimanded by the chief.

But in the field camp, if a soldier speaks without the permission of the commander during the march, he will be beaten with military clubs;

That's the case if you open your mouth casually, let alone a blatant robbery.

Soldiers in the Marshal’s Mansion generally do not rob, because robbing means death, so deserters are usually accompanied by more serious deserters. The punishment for deserters is that half of the team stay behind, and half of the team go to catch them. If they are captured, the whole team will be beaten and the deserters beheaded; When the captain was caught, he had a long demerit, and the whole team was beaten and fined for one year.

Now that Zhang Tianlin has almost blatantly said that she wants to rob, the officers under her command don't want to follow her to death.

Zhang Tianlin was very decisive, and said: "We only have one chance to borrow weapons, but Huang Fan may not give them to him. If he refuses, he will be on guard against me. If we don't have weapons, we won't be able to grab them."

"Without soldiers and horses, we would never have survived the day that the handsome man broke through Jiayuguan and entered Gansu. I gave an order and you will carry it out. Afterwards, the handsome man will investigate. All the blame is on me and has nothing to do with you."

With his guarantee, the generals under his command were relieved a little, and then they each thought about how to rob the soldiers.

After finally making a plan, Zhang Tianlin told everyone again: "If you can't kill someone, don't kill anyone. If things go bad, I won't be able to keep my head."

Zhang Tianlin was also afraid that he would not be able to control the situation. His idea was to act in an extraordinary situation. Afterwards, Liu Chengzong would definitely punish him. Not punishing him would not be enough to convince the public. Bad consequences, it shouldn't have a great impact on him.

With this decision in mind, Zhang Tianlin immediately cast a fierce look at the five Huang Fans stationed in the Bazidun Grassland.

Zhang Tianlin made two-handed preparations. He first met Tahe Zhike alone, coaxed and lied, and told Tahezhike Mountain that there were still [-] troops and weapons and equipment being transported, and he wanted to lend five Huang Fans temporarily. He has [-] pairs of bows and arrows and [-] horses to prevent the officers and soldiers from coming.

Tahe Zhike didn't want to give it, but he didn't dare not to give it. In the end, he had no choice but to discuss with him 360 horses, fifty sets of armor, 360 bows and [-] arrows.

After discussing it, Zhang Tianlin knew that there was no way to solve this matter properly.

Therefore, Tahe Zhike asked his subordinates to bring things, and Zhang Tianlin changed his face on the back foot, armed three centurions, held Tahe Zhike hostage, and took all the weapons of Huang Fan's five tribes on the condition that no one was injured. war horse.

Looking at more than 800 war horses and the weapons and equipment capable of arming a thousand-man team, Zhang Tianlin was very satisfied, and felt guilty for Tahe Zhike, saying: "Zhang has no other way to make such a bad plan, and I hope the big leader My lord does not remember the faults of villains, and when the war is over, if I am still alive, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Tahe Zhike was surrounded by a group of arrogant soldiers. This honest man was expressionless to Zhang Tianlin's statement, and actually scolded Zhang Tianlin's eighteenth generation of ancestors in his heart.

This group of people looked like they were specialized in robbery, and they gave an explanation that the five tribes didn't even have a pot of cooking left, and they couldn't cook, and they said your mother.

Tahe Zhike thought to himself that it would be better to start an army with Wang Ziyong.

It's really a man-made knife and I'm a fish, Tahe Zhike said helplessly: "Then I can only hope that General Zhang can survive. If you win, General Zhang will be appointed as a general, and I hope to build a temple for us." .”

Build a temple?
Hearing this request, Zhang Tianlin turned into petrification, and a group of arrogant soldiers behind her couldn't help laughing.

Tahe Zhike’s request is considered a professional counterpart. People, more or less have hobbies, for example, Yang Dingrui likes to climb mountains, Ah Liu likes to play games with disabled people, Yang Yao wants to plant smallpox vaccine for everything he sees, and Li Wanqing likes to catch Small animals, Zhang Tianlin, the star of the day, has no other hobbies, but likes demolishing temples.

Temples are spiritual sustenance for many people, but for a group of rogues from northern Shaanxi represented by Zhang Tianlin, they don't believe in anything, no matter what they worship.

They don't believe that there are gods in this world. If there is such a thing, they even want to take down the gods and beat them up, so that they can see how people in northern Shaanxi cannibalize people.

Zhang Tianlin couldn't reach the gods who raised their heads three feet high, so his joy in life was to demolish temples wherever he went. If Liu Chengzong let him go to Tianshan, there would be nothing left in Dunhuang, such as Thousand Buddha Caves and Ten Thousand Buddha Gorges.

He had never listened to such a strange request in his life. Tahe Zhike actually wanted him to build a temple.

But as the saying goes, Zhang Tianlin is ashamed of the five Huang Fans. From a certain point of view, looking at the army armed with Huang Fan's soldiers, he thinks that the red-faced and yellow-bearded Fanmin leader in front of him is against him. The grace of saving his life made him put away the idea of ​​ridicule.

But he didn't agree to this request, just sighed and said: "You may not know who I am, from north to south, I have destroyed temples in Tianxing, there are no one hundred but eighty, but these soldiers and animals... you are right We are grateful."

He looked at Tahe Zhike carefully, and said: "I think you are a worshiper of the Buddha, and you don't tear down the temple to repay your kindness. From now on, every temple I see will be your merit if it survives in the world."

Before Zhang Tianlin could say anything else, he heard the horsemen who had just mounted their horses and were assigned as scouts come back and report that a Ming army of more than 500 men was moving here.

Zhang Tianlin was gearing up, but she punched cotton, because it wasn't the Ming army who came over, but Master Sixteen of the Sanjiehui who had received Huang Fan's request for help.

Shiliu brought the mutineer army from Liyuanbao to try to persuade them to fight, and they received meat buns to beat dogs. Before they came, they were surrounded by Zhang Tianlin's vicious soldiers.

Not counting disarming on the spot, this army then marched towards Liyuan Fort, receiving all the gains from the Sanjiehui's mutiny in Liyuan Fort.

With swords, guns and armor in hand, and riding a horse, Zhang Tianlin felt at ease.

At the same time as Shiliu told him that Wang Ziyong was being chased by officers and soldiers in three formations in the north, Zhang Tianlin was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole battalion to march northward in a hurry, and even sent out scouts to find Wang Ziyong's position, and told him: "Stick to this officer army, I'll be there soon."

Wang Ziyong ran desperately in the yellow sand everywhere, and finally got a response from Zhang Tianlin, and continued to run southward for twenty miles. At dusk, he could no longer run anymore, turned his head and killed Bai Guangen, who was chasing him. go back.

This is the reason why Wang Ziyong was always defeated. It was not because of the difference in strength or weakness, but because of what he was thinking in leading troops to fight. The enemy could completely guess from his behavior.

He didn't look back and gradually slowed down. Bai Guangen caught up by himself, but he turned his head and killed him suddenly. Bai Guangen knew at a glance that the reinforcements from the Marshal's Mansion had arrived. .

Wang Ziyong still didn't understand what was going on, he just wanted to put his hands on his hips for a while, thinking that the Taoist master is really powerful, and he has never seen such a cowardly officer.

After chasing and chasing, before the sunset, he saw the second formation of the official army, which was the remnant infantry of the guerrilla general Li Yun who was killed by him, responsible for escorting the tanks and supplies.

Bai Guangen turned his head and ran back without saying hello to them at all, so the infantry was still marching forward humming, and was directly exposed to Wang Ziyong. Wang Ziyu led the cavalry into the gap.

But this is Bai Guangen's purpose. He rested his horse behind the hillside not far away, and sent someone to contact the more than [-] infantry soldiers in the headquarters of the third formation. , The two sides encircled and blocked Wang's own retreat.

By the time Wang Ziyong wanted to pull his subordinates out of the chariot camp, it was already too late, and the hundreds of cavalry in the periphery were directly dispersed by the cavalry led by Bai Guangen, and what stood in front of the defeated army was a large horizontal team composed of more than [-] infantrymen under Bai Guangen's command. , Drive them northward with repeated formations.

Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Bai Guangen, who had just led the cavalry into the battle, was sure of victory, and complacently ordered the entire army to go north, kill and defeat the cavalry, and drive the rout to Ganzhou to complete the encirclement with Yang Jiamo Completely annihilated.

At this moment, he heard the exclamation from the subordinates behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw the breathtaking beauty reflected in the pupils of the cavalrymen who followed him.

It was on the endless sand dunes, one after another skyrocketed fireworks, each trailing a foot-long tail flame and gunpowder smoke, drawing countless chaotic trajectories in the still bright and dark sky, covering the sky in front of him. The entire horizontal formation.

He heard someone shouting hoarsely: "Rocket, rocket!"

　good evening!
