After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 92 The advantage is in me
Zhu Yiyuan rushed to Gegou store, exactly on the 23rd of the first lunar month.

After the soldiers and horses arrive, immediately deploy defenses.

As an old thief, Wang Jun didn't have any formal military training, but the experience he had accumulated over the years was not trivial.

He currently holds four thousand households, three of his own, and one of Zhu Yiyuan's. If all the soldiers and horses are put together, the Gegou store is very narrow, and there is no way to deploy it. It will only waste troops.

Therefore, Wang Jun decisively separated two thousand households, and set up a camp five miles east of Gegoudian, forming a corner with Gegoudian, taking care of each other, and jointly resisting the Qing army.

It's just not easy to set up a camp in a bare place.

Zhu Yiyuan immediately came forward in person, went door to door, and borrowed some wood from the people in Gegoudian.

Hearing that it was Mr. Zhu who came, the villagers took the initiative to say hello to Zhu Yiyuan, New Year greetings and greetings.

The big guy made Zhu Yiyuan blush instead.

"The folks love it wrong... The New Year's Eve is here. I didn't bring any gifts for the big guy. I also asked the big guy to lend the wood from the house to help build the camp. I really can't open my mouth."

Hearing what Zhu Yiyuan said, a few old men from the farming community in the village stood up immediately, "Young Master Zhu, you don't have to be polite. The villagers all understand this reason. No one will have a good life if you don't beat the dog tartars away."

Zhu Yiyuan hurriedly cupped his hands, "Thank you for your understanding, as long as you win, you will be compensated twice. I am here, thank you guys."

Zhu Yiyuan bowed his hands again and again, and the villagers were quite moved. Even if some people were reluctant, under the leadership of the members of the rural commune, every household contributed the beams and planks of the house.

There was even an old man who took out all the coffin boards.

"Father, this is the birthday material you always prepared for yourself, how can you take it out?"

The old man glared at his son and cursed angrily: "Fool, if the Tartars win, your father will die without a place to be buried, and there will be no need for a coffin in this life. As long as Mr. Zhu can win, our fields will be preserved. After two or three years, you will be able to buy a better coffin. Why can't you even figure this out?"

The son was startled, and suddenly realized, he quickly loaded Shoucai into the ox cart and sent it out.

There are more folks who not only provided building materials, but also went to the battle in person to help dig ditches, and they were too busy.

In this way, the original Gegou store was strengthened, and the new camp was quite large...Zhu Yiyuan specially ordered that the old and weak women and children be evacuated in batches and leave the battlefield temporarily, leaving only a few young and strong to assist in the defense.

On his side, he was actively preparing for the battle, while on the other side, Tong Yangliang led five thousand elite Qing troops, and was driving straight in.

In order to avoid the shortage of food and grass last time, he specially arranged a large number of carriages in the army, filled with food, and went with the army together.

At the same time, Tong Yangliang also dispatched a large number of scouts, which were released ten miles away to investigate the enemy's situation.

He was sitting on horseback, arrogant, and beside him was a young scholar named Tian Bin.

That's right, it was the guy who made Zhu Yiyuan beat him eighty times with a stick. He almost lost his life, but he recovered more than half of his life with difficulty, so he couldn't wait to join the Tartars.

He wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge and let Zhu Yiyuan know the consequences.

"Tian Bin, tell me how sure I am of winning this time?"

Tian Bin quickly put on a smile, "It's a [-]% certainty that the general town will send troops."

"Fart!" Tong Yangliang said unceremoniously: "How can I be [-]% sure? How can I be completely pure gold? Tell you, I am only [-]% sure about this battle."

Tian Bin hesitated for a moment, grinned and said, "That's a lot, a lot."

Tong Yangliang laughed and said, "It's quite a lot. I might as well tell you that although I'm only [-]% sure, I'm sure I'll win! Because my subordinates are all elite soldiers from the Qing Dynasty."

Tian Bin was startled, but still didn't understand.

Tong Yangliang snorted and said: "My subordinates not only entered the Central Plains several times, but also participated in the Songshan War and captured Hong Chengchou alive. The Jurchens are invincible. There are [-] elite Jurchens who can run rampant in the world. My five thousand Han army flags are also It is enough to run wild in Shandong. This is the confidence accumulated over the years."

Although it is a bit boastful, Tong Yangliang's words are not unreasonable. For so many years, the Qing army has established an absolute psychological advantage over the Ming army.

If you can't beat it before entering the customs, you can't beat it even more after entering the customs.

As long as the Qing army came, up and down, they would tremble and panic, trembling with fear.

In fact, during the Battle of Sarhu, the Eight Banners soldiers were not as powerful as the Ming army. They could only defeat the Ming army by concentrating their superior forces and focusing on attacking all the way.

But they improved too fast, and within a few years, they established the advantage of being invincible in field battles.

When Kong Youde and others are taken in and a firearms battalion is established, even Jiancheng can't stop them.

In the past 20 years, the soldiers of the Eight Banners have been reborn.

However, the Ming army is in decline, and it is getting worse day by day.

"Qian Qianyi, a subjugated scholar, didn't know how to use soldiers at all, and the court was also confused for a while, and didn't see the trouble. The Zhu thief won several times in a row, especially in Mengyin, killing hundreds of Han army flags. They are no longer Going back to the beginning, I started to believe in myself and had the will to fight. If this group of thieves grows bigger if we continue to procrastinate, it will be even more difficult to restrain them."

Tian Bin was stunned for a while, and then bravely said: "Zongzhen, Zhu thief is indeed a bit different. He is good at deceiving people, especially he can win over people with mud legs. They all follow the devil and listen to him. It is really necessary to guard against it." .”

Tong Yangliang said with a chuckle, "It's unlucky for him to meet me. After this battle, there will be no more Zhu thieves."

Tong Yangliang was full of complacency, then he waved his hand and shouted angrily at his subordinates: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

The Qing army speeded up one after another, trotting forward.

While on the way, someone urgently reported.

"General Town, the soldiers and horses of Zhu Thief were found in the Gegou shop ahead."

"Oh!"

Tong Yangliang was shocked, good guy, he dared to come to the door on his own initiative.

"Go ahead and have a look!"

Under the guard of two hundred servants, he urged his horse forward and reached the outskirts of Gegoudian. He looked up and saw a small town, a camp, one east and one west, standing side by side, blocking the way.

After watching for a while, Tong Yangliang laughed loudly, "Zhu thief really doesn't know how to fight, he will definitely be defeated!"

Tian Bin couldn't see any way out, so he could only boldly ask, "Zongzhen, what's the reason?"

The corners of Tong Yangliang's mouth turned up, and he said proudly: "Forget it, I'll let you open your eyes...Zhu Bandit's army is in Juzhou. He must have heard that my army is coming, so he divided up to stop it. How many soldiers and horses does Zhu Bandit have in total? Going all out, even if he is not my opponent, he divides his troops to stop him now, what is the difference between this and seeking his own death? After I break through the Gegou store, and then go north to defeat the Zhu thief and chop off Zhu Yiyuan's head, I want to see the money Qian Yi, Ma Guanghui and the others have nothing to say!"

Tian Bin was stunned for a moment, why was he so sure that Zhu Yiyuan's main force was in Juzhou?

Could it be that all the soldiers and horses are placed here?
This idea only flashed in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out, and he soon realized that with Zhu Yiyuan's strength, he didn't dare to risk everything and risk his life with Tong Yangliang.

It can only be said that the advantage in this battle lies with me!
Soon, more than a dozen tall chariots appeared from the ranks of the Qing army. In front of them was a wooden board wrapped in iron, which could block bows and arrows. Behind the chariots were twenty or thirty Qing soldiers, and some people pushed forward , There were archers, and some people were carrying siege equipment, and rushed towards Gegoudian.

Although the Qing army likes to boast that they are unparalleled in riding and shooting, the Mongols are also good at riding and shooting. For more than 200 years, they can't do anything to Ming.The real housekeeping treasure of the Qing army is this kind of car.

Regardless of field battle or siege, using a chariot to open the way can shield the bows and arrows of the Ming army. After approaching, relying on the bravery of the Qing army, they quickly approached.

This trick is almost tried and tested.

"It's another move. You can't let the chariot get close. I will take people out and destroy the chariot." Wang Jun took the initiative to call for a fight.

Zhu Yiyuan waved his hands, and said with a confident smile: "Don't be too busy, I have prepared some firearms this time, just to test their power."
