Chapter 51 Move Camp Outside Yongding Gate
In the 11th year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, on October [-]th, at the beginning of the hour, the sky was dim, and there was a trace of white belly in the east, which had just risen, and the faint light shone on the earth.

Qiaolou is the highest point in Changping. Inside the building is an ancient copper pot for timekeeping, and there are also marking points in various places in the city. On weekdays, drums can be played to tell the time for the people in the city. The army inside and out.

On the second floor of Qiao Tower in Changping City, the sword was bestowed upon Shang Fang, the governor of Tianxia King Qin, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the governor of Xuanda, Lu Xiangsheng, were looking out of the city. Stationed in the eastern suburbs outside the Yongding Gate of the capital.

Governor Lu Xiangsheng stood on the Qiao Tower, looking at the camps of King Qin's reinforcements outside the city, he couldn't help but think back to when he first arrived in Changping.

At first, there were only more than [-] elite cavalry from the three towns of Xuanda and Shanxi, and there were nearly [-] elite infantry and cavalry troops from Mingbian Town, as well as the three major battalions of the capital. There are tens of thousands of soldiers ready to fight.

At that time, how smug he was, he had imagined several times that if the imperial court could not hesitate to award rewards and greatly stimulate the morale of the soldiers, and take advantage of the cover of night, divide the troops into several groups, and raid the Jianshou camp, maybe a battle would be possible. Defeating the cavalry, even if things don't work out as expected, at least it will prevent the cavalry from wreaking havoc on our capital.

However, with all his thoughts, he never imagined that he would embark on such a road of dividing the troops to fight. In his heart, he felt even more faintly that not only would the troops be divided to fight, but it would be more likely that after dividing the troops, they would fight on their own.

With this in mind, Governor Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help turning around and looking up at the plaque under the eaves, which read "Huayi Xiongguan", and sighed in his heart.

…………

On October [-]th, at the hour of Chen, the sun was slowly rising from the east.

Outside Changping City, there was a sound of people neighing and horses neighing.

Following the flags of the Chinese army in various towns, they rode horses and shouted: "Pull up the camp and move to the eastern suburb of Yongdingmen... Pull out the camp and move to the eastern suburb of Yongdingmen..."

King Qin's troops from the three towns of Xuanda and Shanxi set up camp one after another. Although it was a little noisy, it was not chaotic. Under the command of the generals at all levels, everything seemed very orderly.

Governor Lu Xiangsheng's Supervising Biao Battalion was the first to set up the camp, and after it was fully equipped, it assembled outside the west gate of Changping.

Afterwards, the generals of King Qin of Xuanfu Town arrived with their troops and lived on the left side of Lu Xiangsheng's battalion.

Then, Hu Dawei, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town, also led Qin Wang's army to arrive, and they lived on the right side of the Supervising Biao Battalion.

In the end, Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, led the Qin Wang army soldiers from his own town to rush there.

Together with Governor Lu Xiangsheng's Supervising Biao Battalion, more than [-] soldiers from Xuanda and Shanxi's three towns, King Qin, gathered outside the west gate of Changping, like a sea of ​​armor and horses, standing in a black mass between the sky and the earth, as if covering the late autumn the whole earth.

The army of King Qin who joined the three towns of Xuanda and Shanxi were all selected elites from the border towns.

Among them, most of the governor's battalion of the governor Lu Xiangsheng and the main battalion of the three towns' general soldiers were cavalry, and some of the participating generals and guerrillas who came to aid from the towns were also cavalry.

These tens of thousands of cavalry, everyone has a horse, and all of them are equipped with armor, except for the iron armor, which is cotton armor, and everyone also has an iron helmet. At this time, the Ming army is still red, and all cavalry formations are painted with red paint , Looking around, it was a fiery red color, and the feathers of the cavalry were flying in the cold wind.

Moreover, these horse battalions that joined the Qin King used a high proportion of firearms. Both the supervisory battalion and the main barracks were equipped with common firearms such as bird guns, three-eyed guns, and quick guns. There are dozens of tiger squat guns and more than [-] earth-made rockets in Ming Dynasty.

Behind the cavalry, there are their densely packed mules and horses, which are equipped with a large amount of firearms, ammunition, horse-repelling barbed wire, etc. When encountering the enemy in the wild, when forming a battle or defending, hundreds of repelling horses, equipped with barbed wire They can be closely surrounded and protected.

Zhang Cheng even saw that there were a large number of cannons behind Lu Xiangsheng's supervising battalion supply team. In addition to some Buddha Wolf machine cannons, there were also several Hongyi cannons.

Zhang Cheng calculated in his mind that it should be some six-pound gun or three-pound gun. Every gun here needs several mules and horses to pull it.

He sighed silently in his heart.

At this time, all the military battalions of Ming Dynasty were composed of professional soldiers. The training was definitely not bad, and in terms of weapons and equipment, they were even better than the Qing army. Why did they fight repeatedly in the battle against the Qing army? What about repeated defeats?
…………

Zhang Chengce was on the horse, looking around, there were endless horses, and all kinds of flags were fluttering in the wind.

On his right is Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanzhen, the army horse of the Zhenbiao Battalion.

General Yang Guozhu was wearing iron armor and a scarlet cloak, riding on a strong horse.

Beside him, a flag of the commander-in-chief stands tall, one foot five feet high, with a yellow heart and red border, decorated with tasseled head and pheasant tail, and an eight-foot-five-inch horn belt. The six-foot-long trapezoidal flag is following the The wind fluttered, and a big "Yang" appeared faintly.

Behind Yang Guozhu's war horse is his personal guerrilla guerrilla Guo Yingxian, as well as the various generals under his command. They all have their own flags, either with a red heart and a blue border, or a black heart and a white border, or a blue heart and a black border. The flags are clear at a glance.

Every Qianzong is on the horse, all of them are armored and armored, and their bodies are thick and powerful, giving people a feeling of bravery and fighting.

Zhang Cheng can see that Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief, is older than the army. The officers and generals under his command, except for the guerrilla Guo Yingxian and the generals of the Chinese army, all the generals below have their own flags. Armor commanders each have their own back flags and helmet flags, presumably commanding them can be as easy as using your arms and fingers.

He looked to the right again, and on the right side of Yang Guozhu's Xuanfu army formation, Chen An, the guerrilla general of Governor Lu Xiangsheng, immediately stood under the governor's tall teeth and banners. He was also covered in iron armor and neatly dressed. Behind Chen An was the governor. The battalion is also heavily guarded, and in terms of strength and order, it is even worse than Yang Guozhu's.

Zhang Cheng originally believed that he came from later generations, and had hundreds of years more knowledge than the people here, but after this Qinwang, he clearly realized that those things are of no real use.

Just like at this time, when all the armies gathered and the stars gathered, Zhang Cheng knew that there were people outside the people, there was a sky in the sky, and there were still many things he needed to learn.

At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind to rise up and build his own strength.

One day, I will be powerful and respectable, so that all forces, the enemy and us, dare not underestimate my own existence.

First of all, in this year's battle of King Qin, he will fight bravely, gain fame, gather military achievements and contacts, so as to lay a foundation for his own development in the future.

…………

On October [-]th, at the end of the hour, the sun was already hanging obliquely in the east, and the sun shone on the body, making people feel very warm and comfortable, but also a little dazzling.

Outside the west gate of Changping City, King Qin's army and horses from Xuanda and Shanxi towns to aid Gyeonggi have assembled.

A rush of horseshoes stamping on the ground came from inside the west gate of Changping.

Governor Lu Xiangsheng and his party rode out of the west gate of Changping. He was still dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, riding on an unusually handsome white horse, but it was his most beloved horse, Wu Mingji.

His loyal family servant Gu Xian, the chief shepherd Yang Lukai and others, as well as a large group of army staff Zan Hua, all followed behind him on horseback.

Zhang Cheng saw the governor Lu Xiangsheng, holding a fine iron sword in his hand, which might weigh dozens of catties from a distance.

He couldn't help but said in his heart: "It is said that Lu Xiangsheng is full of courage, and he will take the lead in every battle. He is very brave, and he really lives up to his reputation."

Governor Lu Xiangsheng rode his horse in front of the army formation, galloping past all the way. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers did not say a word, and their eyes were fixed on his figure.

Looking at the soldiers of the Three Kings Qin who were waiting in line, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes showed emotion. He rode his horse and galloped to the front of the Supervising Biao Battalion. There was a neighing sound, and Wu Mingji raised his front hooves high, and then stopped firmly in front of the Chinese army's high teeth and big banner.

Lu Xiang Shengce was on the horse, his head raised slowly to look at Changping City behind the army formation, and then turned his head to look at Changping City behind him. All the past events in the past few days were all vivid in his mind, flashing like a stream of light in his mind, He seemed to be insane, staring at...

After a long time, I saw him turn around, raised the fine iron sword in his hand vigorously, and shouted: "Let's go!"

…………

Lu Xiangsheng's superintendent battalion was the first to set off. Almost all of them were cavalry. Only the logistics team behind them slowed down a little, and went straight to the capital along the official road.

The military horses of the three towns of Xuanda and Shanxi, who entered the aid of King Qin, marched in the direction of Yongdingmen in the south of Beijing according to the order and route planned in advance.

On the side of Xuanfu Town, the main barracks of Yang Guozhu, the commander in chief, followed closely behind the superintendent battalion of the governor Lu Xiangsheng, and went to the official road.

Guerrilla Li Jianming and Wen Hui led their own troops and marched on the left and right flanks of Yang Guozhu, guarding Yang Guozhu's central army, and the troops and horses of various ministries in Xuanzhen were arranged behind Yang Guozhu's army and marched in an orderly manner.

Zhang Yan, the general of Xuanfu Town, led the army and horses of the headquarters, and acted as the rear guard of the whole army. The guards marched behind the baggage teams of the various ministries.

Datong Town and Shanxi Town also marched in an orderly manner on the left and right wings of Lu Xiangsheng's Supervising Biao Battalion under the leadership of their respective commanders-in-chief.

They will gather again at Yongding Gate in the south of Beijing, and only after the order is handed over can they drive to the newly designated garrison areas of various ministries and set up camp.

Similarly, Zhang Cheng's troops also protected the two wings with two left and right sentries, and the front and rear two sentries were the Chinese army, forming a fan-shaped formation, following the Infantry Thousand Headquarters of the Zhenbiao Right Wing Battalion, and marched in the direction of Yongdingmen in an orderly manner.

Chen Zhong rode his horse beside Zhang Cheng, surrounded by a group of guards, Zhang Cheng stared in the direction of Juyongguan, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"Master, it's time to go." Chen Zhong reminded in a low voice.

Zhang Cheng was still staring in the direction of Juyongguan, and asked Chen Zhong: "Chen Zhong, where do you think He Shihui and the others are going?"

Chen Zhong replied: "This time, I'm afraid I have already passed Huailaiwei. If I walk faster, I should have passed the security guard."

"Well, I hope they have nothing to do along the way and arrive in Xuanzhen safely."

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he raised his horsewhip, and with a crisp "snap", he sprang out of the horse under his crotch, raised his hooves, and walked away along the official road...
