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

Chapter 601 Queen 4
Outside the north gate of Zhengyang City, there was a huge smoke and dust, and the sound of hoofbeats was rumbling. Zuo Liangyu led more than a thousand Changping troops on horseback to kill at lightning speed.Originally, he looked down on a small place like Zhengyang City, so he personally led the main force to attack Zhengyang, and just asked Zuo Mengeng to take people to Zhengyang to get some money and food.But he never expected that Zuo Mengeng would be ambushed outside Zhengyang City and captured!Father and son were connected. After hearing the news, Ren Zuo Liangyu, no matter how ruthless and deep-tempered he was, couldn't help but change his color. Without saying a word, he led his servants and the elite cavalry of the frontier army to rush over aggressively. Basically, the red lady had just entered with her front foot. The city was just around the corner.

The servant who had received an arrow on his thigh pointed to Zhengyang City and shouted, "Commander, this is the Zhengyang City that the female gangster mentioned...Look, Major General!"

Zuo Liangyu looked in the direction he was pointing at, and saw Zuo Menggeng covered in blood, hanging on the tower, shaking his head, not knowing whether he was alive or not.This Xiaolong gritted his teeth, galloped his horse and yelled at Zuo Menggeng: "Geng'er, how are you? Geng'er!"

Zuo Menggeng struggled to open his eyes, and when he saw Zuo Liangyu, tears came out, and he screamed, "Father, save me! Save me!"

Zuo Liangyu said, "Don't worry, my father is here to save you! What have they done to you?"

The red lady poked her head out from behind the stack of arrows, and said with a smile, "I haven't done anything to him yet, but it will be hard to say in a few days later... You are Zuo Liangyu, right?"

Zuo Liangyu asked sharply: "Baby maid, who are you? Why did you attack our army?"

The famous family Ding said with fear on his face, "General, this woman captured the young general alive. She called her Hong Niangzi!"

Ma Jinzhong said: "My subordinates have heard some rumors about the Red Lady from the locals. This woman was originally a chivalrous woman who traveled around the world. Later, she became a bandit in Jigong Mountain, annexed the surrounding mountains, and gathered a large number of refugees. The gangsters gathered in the mountains and forests, and it gradually became a trend, and they repeatedly attacked the state and attacked the government. The government was unable to do anything to her, and she was defeated several times in the siege of Jigong Mountain!"

Zuo Liangyu was displeased: "There is still this matter? Why didn't you tell this general earlier?"

Ma Jinzhong said with some shame: "The subordinates thought she was just a girl who couldn't make much trouble, so they didn't take it to heart."

In fact, not only Ma Jinzhong, but also Wu Xueli, Ma Shixiu, Wu Guangzu... these big generals only focused on robbing after entering Xinyang. Who would take the red lady seriously?Even Zuo Liangyu is like this. If someone reminded Zuo Mengeng to be careful about the Red Lady before he was assassinated, he would probably just feel impatient.By underestimating the enemy and being careless, he was destined to suffer a big loss at the hands of the Red Lady.But now was not the time to talk about this. He glared at the red lady and said sternly: "You bitch, I don't care who you are, please release my son quickly, otherwise I will cut you into pieces!"

The red lady had a frightened expression on her face: "Tear me into pieces? I'm so scared!" With a swipe of the riding whip, Zuo Mengeng got another bloodstain on his body, and the pain made him scream like a pig: " When I get scared, I can’t help myself from hitting someone, and when I hit someone, I get scared!”

That whipping was so severe that it hurt even looking at it, Zuo Liangyu was furious: "Bitch, you——"

Snapped!
This time, before Zuo Liangyu could finish his words, Zuo Mengeng was whipped hard again and howled so loudly.The red lady giggled: "You scold him, just scold him. If you scold him, I will give him a hard whip. Let's see who can't stand it first!"

Zuo Liangyu had never been so angry, her eyes were red with anger, she wished she could grow wings and fly up the city wall to tear the red lady into pieces!However, he is not a birdman after all, he can't fly up, so he can only forcefully suppress his anger, and ask in a slow tone: "What exactly do you want?"

The red lady waved her horsewhip and said, "What do I want? I want to ask you what do you want!"

Zuo Liangyu was startled: "What do you mean?"

The red lady said: "Xinyang is my territory. It's fine for you to bring thousands of troops and horses and rush in without saying hello. You also burned, killed and looted all the way. It's true that the mountains have been ruined by you. You What do you want?"

Zuo Liangyu snorted: "General, I am fighting for my country and it is only natural and right to collect some military supplies from the people!"

The red lady shouted angrily: "Then it is only natural that you kill them without distinction between men, women, old and young!"

Zuo Liangyu said proudly: "What a mere ants, what a deal!"

The red lady was extremely angry and laughed back: "Okay, okay, okay, it turns out that in the eyes of General Zuo, we are just a group of ants that you can crush to death with one kick. How good!" She hit the city battlement with her palm angrily. He said sharply: "Today, my aunt is going to teach you a truth: no matter how small the ants are, once they are completely angered, they can chew you into a pile of bones! Zuo Liangyu, open your dog eyes and see clearly, see See how much more valuable your life is than the lives of our group of ant people!" After saying that, he turned his hand back and a dagger slipped to his fingertips. With a flick of his hand, the dagger flew out of his hand and nailed Zuo Mengeng's thigh with a pop. Needless to say, Young Master Zuo let out another scream like a slaughtering pig. His weak posture was no different from the people he had tortured and killed before, which was exactly what the red lady said: their lives are not much nobler than those of the ant people.

Zuo Liangyu was extremely angry and roared: "Attack the city! Attack the city! Capture Zhengyang City and seize that cheap maid. I will cut her into pieces with a thousand knives!"

Wu Xueli and Ma Jinzhong held him back desperately, and shouted: "Calm down, general! This is the trick of that witch, she deliberately provoked you to send troops to attack the city!" Ma Shixiu said: "At present, our troops are too few, and they are all cavalry. You can't even surround the city, and if you insist on attacking the city, you will suffer a lot!"

After all, Zuo Liangyu had been on the battlefield for a long time, so he calmed down quickly. He felt that what his confidants said was reasonable. He came in a hurry, and only brought a thousand people, and they were all cavalry. They couldn't even complete a siege of the city Now, as for the necessary equipment for siege, such as cannons and ladders, they are all lacking. What can be used to siege the city?Besides, these more than 1000 cavalry are his old base, how can they be thrown lightly and wasted in a hopeless battle?Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Ten miles back to set up camp, more sentry cavalry to monitor the four gates, neither going out nor entering! Also, let the infantry come over quickly, who dares to procrastinate, this general wants his head!"

The furious Zuo Liangyu's pupils were filled with blood, and all the generals shuddered, not even daring to fart, and quickly followed the instructions.

The Changping army immediately took action, and a group of cavalry separated and blocked the four city gates respectively.It can be seen that this group of rebels are all amateurs. They all huddled in the city and acted like cowards. They did not build a fort based on the city wall at all. In this way, once they launched an attack, they could directly attack the city wall. In this way, no matter how strong they were, they were law-abiding. The city walls can't last long.However, the Ming army is generally at this level. Once they encounter a strong enemy, they will immediately retreat into the city and lean against the city wall to death. They simply do not have the courage to confront the enemy outside the city. No one should laugh at anyone.

However, when the Changping Army was busy, the east gate suddenly opened, and more than a thousand cavalry poured out from it. The man in the head had long hair flying like a black cloud, and his fiery red flame was flying around, like a blazing flame, not red. Who is the lady?This female bandit rode a tall horse and was the first to charge out with a lance in her hand, stabbing a hundred bosses to the core with one lance.After all, the Changping Army only had about a thousand people, and they were scattered among the four city gates, with only two or three hundred people in each city gate. Like a group, they slashed and stabbed fiercely, killing people off their backs.Wu Xueli, who was in charge of surrounding the east gate, almost protruded from his eye sockets, and shouted in horror, "This... this female bandit has so many elite cavalry under her command? Oh my God!"

All the soldiers of the Changping Army were also stunned. No wonder the defense deployment of the entire Zhengyang City was in a mess. With so many elite cavalry, there was no need to defend the city at all. They could be defeated by field battles alone!
After gathering and dispersing, the Red Lady defeated a mere two hundred cavalrymen under Wu Xueli without much effort.Although Wu Xueli was a bad guy with no limits, after all, he had been dealing with the Mongols at the border for many years, so he still had some fighting skills. Seeing that the momentum was not good, he quickly gathered his troops and moved in, firing arrows while sneaking away to avoid being red. The lady swallowed it in one gulp.Unexpectedly, the red lady did not pursue, but led her extremely fierce cavalry to run straight to the east. While galloping, she shouted to Wu Xueli: "Go back and tell Zuo Liangyu, my aunt will go back first." Xinyang, I don’t have time to play with him for the time being, if he is really bored, he can come to Xinyang to find me!”

This female bandit didn't rush out to annihilate them, but to... break out! ?

Wu Xueli felt that his brain was not big enough. Oh my god, how could he fight like this?Not only him, but all the officers and soldiers of the Changping Army were dumbfounded. Even Ma Jinzhong, who hurriedly led three hundred cavalry to support him, looked at the dust raised by the Red Lady's troops, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened, as if he had been struck by thunder. of toad.It wasn't until the thunderous sound of hooves disappeared and the flying red cloud disappeared at the end of the horizon that they were sure that the female bandit was indeed leading the cavalry who had an absolute advantage in strength and not bad combat effectiveness, abandoning Zhengyang. The city broke out and ran away!

My God, are these bandits going to fight?

Both Wu Xueli and Ma Jinzhong said don't disturb me, I want to be quiet.

Zuo Liangyu learned from the messenger that more than [-] cavalry came out of Zhengyang City and defeated Wu Xueli's troops in just one round. The hair on his body stood up. Oh my god, this city is Why are there so many cavalry!If the Red Lady were to gather and destroy people, and use the east gate as the starting point to sweep over like a hurricane, all the thousands of people under his command would be trampled into meat pies!When the sound of hoofbeats shook the heaven and the earth, Zuo Liangyu was even ready to run away, but luckily, the Red Lady seemed to have no intention of attacking him at all, and walked away after defeating Wu Xueli's troops at the east gate. , leaving him a Zhengyang City with its gates closed!After receiving the report, Zuo Liangyu was in a state of confusion. He stayed in the big tent with a look of confusion... Oh my god, is there anyone who fights like this?This is completely random!

"What the hell is this female bandit planning?" Zuo Liangyu asked in confusion.

All of his men frowned. Zuo Liangyu couldn't figure it out, and they naturally couldn't figure it out either.
