The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 30

The seven days passed in a blink of an eye. During the seven days, these newly recruited soldiers did nothing but stand in a military posture and practice in the queue every day.

Each division's garrison has divisions, and they usually don't communicate with each other during the time, so the training of Chen Wangrang's soldiers did not cause any fluctuations.

It's just that Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, and Cao Dingjiao occasionally patrol the camp, and they see Chen Wang coming over to ask a few words during the training.

Cao Wenzhao and Cao Dingjiao watched it several times and asked some details and questions. Chen Wang answered them one by one, and the answers were very detailed.

There is naturally no harm in leaving an impression of well-trained soldiers.

Cao Bianjiao didn't ask any questions, but just stayed aside and watched for a long time every time, and then left with the talent.

Chen Wang couldn't figure out what Cao Bianjiao was thinking.

But Chen Wang didn't bother to ask, because the important thing now was another thing - the thieves were coming.

The time was gradually approaching July, and nothing happened in their barracks during these seven days, but many changes did occur in the outside world.

He saw the army retreating from the northwest on the official road.

He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu retreated and abandoned Yilu Town.

It seems that the pressure in Yilu Town was too great, and there was a risk of being surrounded by being isolated, so Hong Chengchou let him retreat.

When Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong withdrew to Binzhou, Zhang Quanchang also led the troops to Binzhou.

The pursuit of Man Tianxing and Li Zicheng on the northern front was not smooth, and the two sides fought several battles with casualties.

The main force led by Gao Yingxiang went south from Pingliang and entered Gongchang Mansion, looting Qin'an, Qingshui and other places, and Gongchang Mansion was in a hurry.

The main force of the bandits began to move, so Hong Chengchou ordered the North Route Army to retreat, let the troops of Yansui Town advance to suppress, transferred Zhang Quanchang back, and ordered Zhang Waijia to lead the headquarters of 500 troops to garrison in Zhenning.

Hong Chengchou mobilized his troops not to defend Binzhou.

He Renlong just passed by Binzhou, and Zhang Quanchang came to meet him. Hong Chengchou ordered them to go west through Fengxiang Mansion and go to Gongchang Mansion to intercept the main force of the bandits who wanted to go west.

He Renlong had 300 soldiers under his command, Zhang Quanchang had 500 soldiers under his command, plus the [-] soldiers under the command of Du Si Tian Yinglong who hung in Fengxiang Mansion just behind him, the total number of soldiers was [-].

There were [-] to [-] thieves who fled into Gongchang Mansion, which was almost ten times more, but Gongchang Mansion had to be rescued, and the Ming army was now stretched out, so Hong Chengchou had no choice.

However, Hong Chengchou also knew that there were many bandits in Pingliang, so he kept the Changping soldiers under Zuo Liangyu's command.

Hong Chengchou handed over the command of the battle to Cao Wenzhao, and more than [-] soldiers under Zuo Liangyu's command were also assigned to Cao Wenzhao's control.

When he had just retreated to Bin that day, Zuo Liangyu came to see Cao Wenzhao.

Chen Wang followed Cao Wenzhao to meet Zuo Liangyu.

The real Zuo Liangyu is completely different from what Chen Wang imagined.

Zuo Liangyu's figure is rather burly, and she walks like a tiger walking like a tiger. She has a short beard, is well-groomed, and has clear eyebrows. She is definitely handsome and mighty.

When he entered the camp to meet him, his attitude was extremely respectful.

Zuo Liangyu is not the famous "runaway general" yet, the soldiers under his command dare to fight, and their combat exploits are considered outstanding.

But in fact, now Zuo Liangyu has shown some clues, and Chen Wang has also heard some rumors.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, when Zuo Liangyu was in Huaiqing, he disagreed with the local governor during the military discussion, and they clashed. He was impeached and punished for it.

Afterwards, the governor sent documents to recruit his army, but Zuo Liangyu's leader did not apply on time, but came late, and he did not do his best when chasing him.

However, Zuo Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao used to fight together. At that time, he was also controlled by Cao Wenzhao. He watched with his own eyes how Cao Wenzhao wiped out the bandits in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.

Cao Wenzhao didn't favor one over another in terms of military achievements, so Zuo Liangyu has always respected Cao Wenzhao.

However, the two armies together only have more than [-] people, which is still somewhat weak.

Hong Chengchou also ordered the Zhizhou of Binzhou to recruit strong men as auxiliary soldiers to cooperate with Cao Wenzhao.

When Zhizhou of Nabin Prefecture heard that the bandits were coming again, he changed his previous arrogant posture and sent food and rice again. He sent many strong men as auxiliary soldiers, and asked Cao Wenzhao to move the camp into the city.

When more than 20 thieves crossed the border through Binzhou, the mighty scene, for several days in a row, was full of thieves crossing the border, which scared all the officials in the state to prepare to hang themselves. Zhizhou even wrote his suicide note.

After Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong withdrew, a large number of civilians followed the two armies to Binzhou.

However, Zhizhou of Binzhou refused to open the door, but told him to look east and continue walking.

When they heard that there was going to be another war, the refugees who stayed in the south of the city were even more panicked. At the request of Cao Wenzhao several times, the Zhizhou of Binzhou released a wave of food to the refugees and asked them to go south to Yongshou .

Cao Wenzhao took them to bid farewell to the two armies of He Renlong and Zhang Quanchang on the official road.

He Renlong is known as "Crazy He". He was born as a martial arts scholar, and he is very skilled in martial arts, including riding and shooting.

They are brave in battle, fearless of life and death, and often charge ahead, hence the name.

He Renlong's full beard, curly beard and tiger eyebrows, he is quite heroic, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, riding a shiny black horse whose fur is like silk and satin, which is very eye-catching.

Zhang Quanchang was wearing armor with bright golden mountain tattoos, and he stole the limelight.

The army ate a meal with meat under the city, and then hurried to the south.

Chen Wang watched He Renlong and Zhang Quanchang leave, only he knew that He Renlong and Zhang Quanchang would be defeated if they went.

He Renlong and Zhang Quanchang lost their soldiers but survived, but Du Sitian Yinglong died in battle.

The results of this battle are recorded in "History of Ming Dynasty".

"In July, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong plundered Qin'an and Qingshui, and Zhangjiachuan was destroyed by people and dragons together with Quanchang. They lost, and the capital, Si Tian Yinglong, waited to die."

Chen Wang didn't remind him, and he couldn't remind him either. He is only a general now, and he doesn't know much about the situation of that war.

The exact reason for the defeat is unknown.

Chen Wang withdrew his mind and looked at the group of soldiers standing straight in front of him.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full, the horn of war is approaching, and he has no time...

The fiery red banner embroidered with tiger stripes fluttered on the low platform of the camp.

Chen Wang wears a burqa with a belt, a high-bowl iron helmet on his head, and an iron armor with nails.

Chen Wang raised his head, and looked down condescendingly at the straight soldiers standing in front of the low platform.

Chen Gong, Hu Zhiyi, Hu Zhili, and Tang Shiping are all wearing burqas and belts, with helmets and armor standing behind Chen Wang.
