Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 550 Solving the Bandits 2
After a quick meeting, Wang Rui returned to Changsha by boat. He wanted to plan with Qin Mai for the handover next year, as well as the strategy of the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. Time was tight and he was very busy.

Yang Menglong was also quite busy, so he ended his vacation the next day and went north to return to Nanyang.Next year he will send troops to take over the Lianghu area. Before that, he must deal with the rogues occupying the Funiu Mountain and Beiman Mountain.Before this, these rogues have always been an excuse for him to drag his troops to the south. Now that the time is ripe, he no longer needs to use them as a cover. In order to fully manage Huguang next year, he must first eliminate these 10,000+ rogues. Save them from making trouble.

It is actually not difficult to kill these 10,000+ rogues, at least it is not difficult for him, he has a lot of big killers.Of course, the most effective weapon of destruction is food. Once this weapon of destruction is released, millions of rogues will be wiped out in an instant.

In fact, Nanyang and Luoyang are ready now, just waiting for his order.At the order of this second-hander, the entire Heluo New Army was mobilized, and a large amount of food, medicine, clothing, weapons, crossbows, armor... were continuously transported out of the warehouse, and transported by car and ship to Funiu Mountain and the north. Mangshan sent them over, and the Heluo new army did not keep any reserves. Eight thousand veterans, three thousand surrendered Mongolian cavalry, and fifteen hundred Sauron dead soldiers were all overwhelmed, leaving only twelve thousand Recruits guard the camp.For this reason, the newspaper also published a special feature, claiming that the champion marquis has put all his family assets under control, and plans to completely put down the rogues, and then everyone will have a good year. It's over, if anyone's bones are itchy, just come and trouble me!

Who dares to come and trouble him?

Even a ruthless person like Huang Taiji would shy away in front of his Tie Jun, who would dare to come and trouble him?
Coincidentally, just a few days ago, the Tianxiong army also launched a full-scale attack on the rogues in the Taihang Mountains. It seems that they also want to wipe out the rogues so that they can celebrate the New Year comfortably. By the way, they will test the ones sent by Nanyang The power of those three 85mm howitzers.

One will go south to take over the territory next year, and the other will go out to expedition to Mongolia next year. Everyone is very busy and really has no time to play with these rogues, so it's better to slap them to death to save trouble.

The northwest bandits ushered in their darkest and most tragic days since the rebellion.

So, what are the bandits doing now?

I don't know what the Liuguan on the Daming Road side is doing, but the bandits on the Heluo mountain side... Cough cough, it's a bit miserable, they are gnawing on the bark.

This group of gangsters claims to be 30, the real number, there must be [-], and their leaders are all very good. Lao Huihui and Yuan Zongdi are well-known masters.The training team of these guys is luxurious. From Hong Chengchou, they learned how to use limited forces to attack one point, surprise them, and defeat the enemy; from Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew, they learned how to use a limited number of very elite cavalry tricks. The enemy army has ten times more troops than myself; by the way, a guy named Sun Chuanting has recently appeared in Shaanxi. To put it simply, the rogues gradually rose from weak to strong while being hanged and beaten by this group of fierce men in turn, and when all these fierce men were killed, they would have a bright future.But now their life can be described as dark, because what they have to face is the iron army that is rising strongly from Ming Dynasty——Heluo New Army, and what they have to face is the desperate Saburo Yang Menglong who even Huang Taiji has a headache!
Around April of this year, Luo Rucai, He Yilong, Liu Xiyao and the others heard that Nanyang was very rich, that there was gold everywhere, and every household’s granaries were filled with grain, and there were plenty of fish and meat to fill their stomachs. All of them were tempted to eat, and excitedly took their own men and horses to head towards Nanyang Basin via Wuguan, wanting to take down Nanyang and eat his mother.Unexpectedly, when they approached the Nanyang Basin, there would suddenly be a line of defense consisting of a series of continuous military villages in front of them. The Heluo New Army and military households had been waiting for a long time!There is no way, you 10,000+ people are rushing towards you, who doesn't know?Is it true that we are all dead?Even a dead person should have some reaction!This is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is that Cao Wenzhao's precious son, Cao Bianjiao, was overjoyed when he learned that 10,000+ rogues flocked to Nanyang. , suddenly launched an attack, and took Wuguan in one fell swoop. The Shaanxi army followed up and built a camp with Wuguan as the core, sealing off the retreat of these 10,000+ rogues!
Well, I don’t know if Nanyang can be defeated. Anyway, it is difficult to get back to Shaanxi.

Nanyang's reaction was the same as that of Shaanxi's ghost. They also guarded the line of defense. When the rogues came to attack their camp, they were immediately shot down by the crossbow arrows pouring down like raindrops. If the rogues didn't attack, they would I won't pay attention to you, and the two sides will be wasted like this.The problem is that the Heluo New Army is backed by millions of people and has an unimpeded supply line. They can afford it, but the rogues can't afford it!They are just a swarm of locusts, they eat wherever they go, they don't produce, and they are blocked in the mountainous area.The most important task for everyone all day long is to find everything that can satisfy their hunger. A few wild fruits that are too bitter to swallow, and a piece of yam stem have become rare delicacies.If you can catch a few birds, it will be a feast, which can only be enjoyed by the big people, and the small people should dig the roots.After a few months of hungry and full meals, they almost ate up the weeds in Funiu Mountain and Beimang Mountain, and they almost didn't eat human flesh, but the Heluo New Army still had no intention of leaving the camp to fight them!
It’s okay in summer, you can pick some wild fruits, catch a few hares, dig some bamboo shoots to fill your stomach, but now that winter is coming, you can’t even eat grass roots, how can you live in this day?
"What do you mean by Heluo New Army!?"

In a relatively decent tent, several major generals gathered around a fire, using chopsticks to take grass roots that had been boiled for a long time from the pot and put them into their mouths to chew. This was their meal.This grass root has been boiled for a fucking hour, and several bundles of firewood have been burned. It is still so hard that I can’t chew it no matter how hard I chew it. Even if I chew it, I can’t swallow it. Even if I swallow it, I can’t pull it out... In short It's hard work.I don’t know what happened to others, but Liu Xiyao definitely didn’t like this thing. He was so excited that he threw away his chopsticks and cursed angrily.

Yuan Zongdi glanced at him, and asked lightly, "Why are you so angry?"

Liu Xiyao said angrily: "Killing is just a matter of nodding. If you want to suppress it, you will suppress it. If you want to caress it, you will caress it. They neither fight nor caress. What's the point of just wasting their lives!"

Luo Rucai was originally a fat man, but after staying in the mountainous area for so long, he managed to lose weight. He lost more than [-] pounds, which was really hard for him.He looked at the grass roots in the pot, acid water rising from his stomach, and gritted his teeth: "Those scumbag officers and soldiers have evil intentions. They want us all to starve to death and cold to death in this mountainous area!"

Hearing what these two people said, He Yilong lost his appetite. He threw away his chopsticks and said angrily: "They have a great idea! I didn't get what they wanted. I will lead people to attack their camp tonight and tell them We haven't wiped them out yet!" He gulped when he mentioned the camps of the Heluo New Army, because he personally led people to capture a camp and stocked up on the salted fish, canned pork, Biscuits, rice, noodles, vegetables, etc. all make their mouths water. They never dreamed that there would be so much food in such a small place!As long as they capture a camp, they can live a good life for several days!

It's a pity that the camp of the Heluo New Army is becoming more and more difficult to attack, and it is extremely difficult to attack.And those villages in the mountainous area have long since left them empty, with nowhere to raise food, and if they can't open the gap, they will only starve to death!

Yuan Zongdi sighed helplessly, continued to pick up grass roots and put them in his mouth.He can be regarded as one of the rogues who is more calm and cunning, but now he has nothing to do.In Yuan Zongdi's view, they shouldn't provoke the Heluo New Army at all. They won the first battle in Shandong and the second battle in Liaodong. Is it a fluke?With the current strength of the rebel army, it is extremely irrational to provoke such a powerful enemy.The best way for the rebels to go north is to join Chuang Wang's army, attack Shanxi and Baoding, or simply try to attack Sichuan, no matter which direction they attack, it is better than being stuck in the mountains and eating trees.Now Wuguan has been captured by Cao Bianjiao, and the entrance of Nanyang Basin is guarded by Heluo New Army like Tangchi Iron Fort. 10,000+ rebels are blocked here. This supplement is gone, this is a real dead end!
But, what exactly does the Heluo New Army want, whether to suppress or to appease, they have to give an explanation, they can't let them catch mice for a lifetime in this mountainous area, can they?No, now they are devoured by rats. If this situation does not change, they will only have to eat mud!
They are also really aggrieved. 10,000+ people plunged into this damn mountainous area. Wouldn't they be scared out of their wits in any state capital? Helping the evil star spread, there is no way to clean it up!It's good for Yang Menglong, I'll just ignore you!
While he was feeling depressed, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded outside.Luo Rucai frowned and stood up. She wanted to go out and see what was going on. A deputy general walked in with his feet in the wind and shouted with joy: "The messenger is here, the messenger is here!"

Luo Rucai scolded: "You are clueless, whose envoy is here? Tell me clearly!"

The lieutenant said: "Champion Hou! The messenger of Champion Hou is here!"

With a whoosh, those generals who were warming themselves around the firepit all jumped up, they were even more excited than the lieutenant generals... But they were looking forward to the arrival of the envoys, the damned champion finally remembered them!
