Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 194 Regrouping
The fortified city was broken, and Wu Sangui accompanied Lu Mou on horseback to enter the city.

The city wall was broken, but the street fighting in the city continued, and the Second Army fought hard. But the Fifth Army entered the city, and the fierce Fifth Army shocked Wu Sangui again.

But all I saw were yellow belts, and even if they had guns, they just held their five-eyed machine high, chasing the remaining bandits around the world and beating their heads.

That ferocity was as if the bandits owed them money and refused to pay back, as if they had killed his parents.

Wu Sangui couldn't help but sigh: "Every battle is like revenge. My lord, how did you bring out such soldiers?"

Lu Mou smiled calmly: "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, please go elsewhere; for glory and wealth, please enter this door. This is to lure you."

Wu Sangui was convinced.

The battle against Zhizhou Yamen, the command center of the rogue bandits, was even more fierce.

One side has no way out and is fighting a trapped beast, while the other side is eager to achieve success and fight to the death.

While the situation was stalemate, groups of yellow belt troops ran over. As he ran, he shouted: "Brothers of the Second Army, get out of the way and watch how our yellow belts knock the sand cans."

As a result, the Second Army actually formed a human wall to block the group of yellow belts: "Why should I give up the enemy to you? You can't steal money as well as you can. Your Fifth Army is too unreasonable."

A yellow belt man stood up and said loudly: "Your Second Army has been fighting for so long and still can't resolve the battle. You can't do it, but we can. Get out of the way quickly. Don't you see that the prince and uncle are eagerly waiting to use the lobby?"

"What do you mean we can't do it? We are no worse than you. If we hadn't destroyed the city, you would still be blowing wind outside the city. You coward, what kind of courage do you have to take credit and money?"

"Who are you calling a coward?"

"I'm talking about you, what's the matter?"

"Get out of my way, you incompetent juniors."

"Hey, let's compete."

"Let's just compete. I'm afraid of you."

As a result, the two sides immediately became tense.

Wu Sangui's eyes widened with envy: "In order to fight, I even started fighting. What kind of spirit does this have?"

Lu Mou stood up and said with a smile: "Stop fighting, you can go together and compete to see who kills the most enemies."

Both parties nodded: "Listen to the prince."

Then a swarm of swarms rushed into Zhizhou Yamen, and the battle became more intense.

The battle is over and everyone counts the results. It is easy to distinguish, the ones with holes in their bodies are the work of the second army's flintlock bayonets. The head was smashed because of the yellow belt of the Fifth Army.

It was hard to tell the difference between the general and the general. His body was covered with bayonet holes and his head was smashed into a rotten watermelon.

In the end, Lu Mou announced the result of the game. Because the second army arrived first and had the upper hand in killing enemies, the yellow belt also achieved brilliant results and the two sides drew.

In this battle, a total of 10,000 enemies were wiped out, and no prisoners were taken.

One is that the bandits fight to the death, but because of the yellow belt, they have no style of taking prisoners.

Who wants to take prisoners for a dollar a head? Only dead enemies are good enemies.

In this battle, the Ming army lost 2,000 people and injured 3,000 people.

A lot was seized, which was enough to pay for death and injury pensions and rewards.

"It's good to fight against rogue bandits. What we do is called gangsters eating gangsters." Wu Sangui felt the same way and sighed with regret: "It's a pity that mine are all cavalry and are not good at attacking cities and seizing territory. The seizures are limited."

Lu Mou smiled: "But you can use your mobility to intercept the bandits. If you cooperate with the army to occupy the city or fight in the field, you will also get a share of the captured dividends."

Wu Sangui said: "Then I am taking advantage of my brothers in the Army, aren't I?"

Xu Jie and Zhu Changxun laughed and said: "We are all Ming Dynasty's army, and we are all brothers. We don't want to take advantage of others. We just have to work hard to make contributions."

Lu Mou added: "In this battle, we are targeting our Han compatriots, and we should be compassionate. Therefore, my reward policy must be changed. That is, if you kill a thief, you will be rewarded with one dollar, but If a thief is captured and surrenders, he will be rewarded with two pieces of gold. In the future, when killing the enemy, the two commanders must remind the soldiers to persuade them to surrender as much as possible. Because in our vast northwest, so much land still needs to be cultivated by human hands. In these two decades of war, our population has suffered too much loss."

Xu Jie and Zhu Changxun were ordered to receive the order.

Turning to face Wu Sangui: "Uncle, I also feel that the group arrangement of our cavalry and infantry is inappropriate. Your cavalry group is good at field combat, but not good at attacking fortified areas. But our army group is good at attacking fortified areas, but not good at field fighting.

Now, we have entered the hinterland of Shanxi and achieved our original goal of blocking Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yaoqi from escaping to their nest in the west. Therefore, I am going to adjust the configuration of our two group armies. "

Wu Sangui bowed respectfully: "Please make arrangements with the regent."

"I am going to assign the Third Army to you to form a new group. It will be responsible for the recovery from Taiyuan to the Yellow River in the south, capture the state capitals along the line, and completely cut off the westward retreat of Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yaoqi.

Then, we transferred all the cavalry troops to me and transferred 10,000 Guan Ning to me. We formed a group army and began to attack Yuan Zongdi. What do you think of this configuration? "

Wu Sangui's opinion must be sought for this. In the subconscious mind instilled by history, Wu Sangui has always been a guy who seeks to become a vassal town. He regards his Guan Ning as a taboo that cannot be touched by others.

Although now, I have many ways to strangle him to death, but this is not the time yet.

However, Lu Mou was poisoned by history.

Now Wu Sangui has completely given up his ambition and has become a good boy. In the face of the increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty and the increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty army, he has put away his ambitions.

When Wu Sangui heard this adjustment, he immediately said happily: "The regent's arrangement is the best. In this way, the two army groups have become groups that can fight in the field and attack difficulties. The veteran immediately ordered my brother, Admiral Wu Sanfu of Guan Ning, Commander-in-Chief Ten thousand cavalry are at the command of the prince."

Lu Mou did not expect Wu Sangui to agree so readily. But he still sent his younger brother Wu Sanfu to lead the ten thousand Guan Ning.

Should I take advantage of this opportunity to split up and weaken Wu Sangui again, so that Wu Sanfu can die gloriously in the war, or die gloriously?

If that doesn't work, is sudden death still an option?

"When my uncle returns this time, I suggest that you leave one Guan Ning unit to monitor and restrict Taiyuan. Then immediately lead one unit of the Third Army and one Guan Ning unit to go south to Hejin and seize the Hejin Yellow River Ferry."

Hejin is the first ferry of the Yellow River and the intersection of Fenhe River in Shanxi and Weihe in Shaanxi. Once it is occupied, Hao Yaoqi's route from Fenhe to Hejin and then along the Weihe to Xi'an in Shaanxi will be cut off.

Wu Sangui nodded: "I have a third army that is capable of attacking and defending. It will not be a problem to capture Hejin."

"Then, when you transfer troops, you must capture Yuncheng. Because there are salt ponds there that are related to the salt of the people in the entire northwest. That will be our most important source of salt finance."

"Weichen understands. It's just about dealing with salt merchants. What strategy will Weichen adopt?"

"As long as you take Yuncheng Yanchi, I will handle the rest."

"I respect your order."

Lu Mou stood up: "The military situation is urgent and there is no need to delay. I will not keep my uncle here. Please lead your uncle to lead the third army south to Taiyuan now."

"Old minister, please retire."

Just after Wu Sangui was sent away, a Jin Yiwei hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, the Yongping White Lotus Sect has rebelled."
