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

Chapter 769 Whose Home Field 5
On the other side of Xiamen, Shi Fu and Shi Daxuan are leading an army of [-] towards Zhangzhou. They have been walking for two days.

The road of more than 100 miles has not been finished after two days of walking, isn't it strange?

It's not surprising at all, the infantry in the cold weapon era is so pissed.Generally speaking, at the beginning of the founding of each dynasty, when the vigor is high, there will always be a fierce and sharp army of hundreds of battles. Strong, immovable like a mountain, aggressive like fire, like in the early Ming Dynasty when the Ming army rushed hundreds of miles a day, it was nothing more than nothing, and even dared to hold a long spear against the Mongolian heavy cavalry, and used a five-meter super long spear to kill the Mongolian cavalry. People and horses poke and turn over together.But after the expansion period, the martial arts gradually faded, the status of the warriors plummeted, and it was a problem for the soldiers to even have enough food. Of course, don’t expect them to be able to pack up their armor and pack their food like they did at the beginning of the founding of the country. up.The saddest thing is that later on, the supply of food and grass for the army was completely decided by the local government. When the army set out, they didn’t get much food and grass. The food and grass were supplied by the local states and counties along the way, and they were given a meal when they reached a county. , if the county is too difficult, or the county magistrate is in a bad mood, then there is nothing to eat, just throw some money down and send them away, just like beggars.That's not to mention, in order to prevent these Qiuba from passing through several counties a day to eat several meals, the Wenchen Group issued another strange rule: the army must stay in the place for one day before the place will provide them with food and grass!
In other words, the army exhausted their lives and went to a county. That county would not give them food that day. They had to stay there overnight, and then they would have food the next day.In this way, how strong the army's marching ability can be, it's really a hell... If you walk too fast, you won't have food, and you wouldn't want to go faster.

Of course, Zheng's army doesn't have to endure these stinky rules, Xiamen and Zhangzhou are their territory, who dare not give them food?The reason they walked so slowly was that their training was too poor. They had never been trained for long-distance rapid marches. They had to walk for at least three days what the new army of Heluo could cover in one day.No, it's been two days, and you're still dawdling halfway, expecting them to rescue Zhangzhou?Hehe, the weather is nice today!

Shi Fu and Shi Daxuan didn't think there was anything wrong with their dawdling. The Heluo new army is exhausted now, right?Even if they rushed to Zhangzhou, I'm afraid that the Heluo new army would not even get their feet wet.Besides, Zheng Biao has [-] troops under his command, which is more than enough to defend Zhangzhou. What's the rush?Don't worry at all!With this thought, they dawdled with more peace of mind.

A large cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose in front, and several cavalry rushed over in a hurry.Shi Dafu's servant rushed over to stop them, and after interrogation, it turned out to be Zheng Biao's servant.These servants came before the two dawdling kings, knelt down and cried loudly: "You two generals, help me!"

Shi Fu was startled: "What's wrong? What happened?"

The captain of the family Ding cried loudly: "Those black skins...those black skins have entered Zhangzhou!"

The two dawdling kings were taken aback, their eyeballs popped out: "What? They've entered Zhangzhou!?"

The team leader said: "The day before yesterday, my general thought that the enemy army was coming from afar and was exhausted. It was a good opportunity to destroy the enemy, so he sent Wang Bin to lead 6000 people out of the city at night to attack the camp of the new army in Heluo... How did you know there were spies in the city? The news was leaked, and the troops who went to steal the camp were ambushed by the enemy, and the whole army was wiped out. Those black skins wore the clothes of the fallen brothers, rushed to Zhangzhou in the rain, tricked the city gate, and rushed into the city in one fell swoop. By the time the brothers find out that something is wrong, the city is already full of black skins! Now my general is commanding troops in the inner city to resist desperately. He won't last long. Two generals, hurry up and save him, otherwise Zhangzhou will be over. !"

Shi Fu and Shi Daxuan looked at each other.Zheng Biao really deserves to be a trash who can do whatever he can, eat whatever he wants, and even 2 people can't hold Zhangzhou!Under Zheng Zhilong's order, they went to Zhangzhou to cooperate with Zheng Biao to eat Han Peng's army. Now they haven't even seen the shadow of Zhangzhou. Zhangzhou is about to be lost. How can this be done!There was no time to think about it, and the two ordered together: "Go at full speed, and be sure to arrive in Zhangzhou before sunset!"

The army lazily loitering along the way complained incessantly. There were still dozens of miles to go. Wouldn’t it be exhausting to run all the way there?But the military order is like a mountain, if Zhangzhou is lost, they don't want to feel better, so they can only scurry towards Zhangzhou if they complain about suffering.Those two generals even led their servants to travel lightly, with the target——Zhangzhou!
Zheng Biao, you boy have to stand up for us, if you hang up, we will all be hung up on the treetops!
Please, please hold on!
Can Zheng Biao hold on?

The answer is no.This man was being taken into a prisoner camp by the soldiers of the new army with a bad look on his face.

Recalling what happened not long ago, this man was in a trance, always having the illusion that he was dreaming.At this moment, gunshots broke out in the city, screams and cries of terror shook the sky, he put on his clothes, and angrily called the soldiers over to ask what happened, and then there was a bolt from the blue:
The Heluo new army has entered the city!
To be precise, it was the general's mansion.

Didn't it mean that they are still dozens of miles away from Zhangzhou?Moreover, I sent thousands of people to attack the camp. Even if they didn't succeed, they would at least cause them a lot of trouble. Why did they come to Zhangzhou City instead?This unscientific!

The Heluo New Army said that this is very scientific. They really came to the General's Mansion, and hundreds of musketeers surrounded the General's Mansion.Zheng Biao tried to calm down, and organized more than 20 servants to let them go out to fight, to see if they could kill a bloody path.As a result, a few volleys of guns came over, and the 20 servants were beaten with holes all over their bodies, and died on the spot.Several green forest heroes who were former bandits and lake bandits in Zheng Biao's house said that there was no need to be afraid. When we masters finished dressing up and rushed out, it would be time for these new army soldiers to urinate!
These masters were dressed in iron armor and rushed out with long knives in their hands. A row of guns came over from the other side, and the masters died straight in front of Zheng Biao.

Now Zheng Biao was completely at a loss. There were only so many people he could fight. Even if they were not dead, seeing so many masters go out and die one by one, he didn't dare to go out.There is no other way, surrender!

So he was taken to a prison camp.

The battle was fought in a muddle, and the loss was also muddled. Before he could react, Zhangzhou changed its master.Zheng Biao really wanted to point at Han Peng's nose and yell: "You foul! You're playing tricks! You're cheating!" But the bloody bayonets dispelled his courage in time.My dear, the murderous intent of this army is too strong, I can't afford to mess with it!Now that you have become a prisoner, be honest, it is not a good idea to continue to provoke the other party!

"Hey, General, are you here?"

someone called him?

Zheng Biao turned his head and looked away, oh, it was Wang Bin calling him. The boy's left arm was wrapped in thick gauze and bandages. He was sitting on the ground holding a deck of cards and playing with Zheng San. That boy was beating the bastard.This kind of playing cards was passed over from Nanyang. What is it called poker? There are 54 cards in total. There are countless ways to play them. They are extremely popular. Both of them have been in the prisoner camp, but they have not forgotten to continue playing cards.

And there are more than this group of captives playing cards in the captive camp...

Zheng Biao was so angry that he walked over angrily, pointed at Wang Bin's nose and yelled: "You bastard, I gave you 6000 troops to attack the enemy's camp. It's good for you to sneak into the prisoner's camp!" It doesn’t matter that you entered the prison camp, and you made me a defeated general. If you don’t give me an explanation, I will tear you apart!”

Wang Bin smiled wryly: "I don't know what's going on, this battle started in a daze, and then I lost it all in a muddle... Oh, forget it, we are all prisoners, it's useless to talk about it now, General, do you want to fight the Landlord?"

Zheng Biao yelled: "I fight your mother! Because of you bastard, my army is gone, Zhangzhou City has been breached, and my general's mansion has also been raided. They snatched it away, and you are still in the mood to find me to fight the landlord!?"

Wang Bin shrugged, picked up the cards that had been mostly removed, and said to Zheng Sanfa: "The general doesn't want to play, let's continue to draw the bastard...it's your turn!"

Zheng Sanfa said: "Okay!" He stretched out his hand to pick and choose Wang Bin's cards, wanting to draw a good one, but he didn't want to be a bastard.Zheng Biao was so angry that he snatched all the cards from these two and threw them on the ground, roaring at Zheng Sanfa: "Shuffle the cards!!"

So began to fight the landlord...

At this time, Shi Daxuan and Shi Fu were still driving their [-] troops to Zhangzhou desperately.If these two people knew that this bastard Zheng Biao was fighting against the landlord in the prison camp, would they be mad?Finally, as the sun set, they could already see the city wall of Zhangzhou City - only ten miles away from Zhangzhou City!
At the same time, they were stunned to see tens of thousands of Heluo new troops forming majestically on the hillside in front of them. The black phalanxes were as dense as mountains, and tens of thousands of bayonets were like dense steel forests, as if they wanted to cover the ground.

Shi Daxuan and Shi Fu were dumbfounded. After running for dozens of miles, the exhausted Zheng's army was also dumbfounded.Shi Daxuan glared at the servants who reported the letter, and roared: "Didn't you say that Zheng Biao is still sticking to the inner city? Why..."

The servants didn't talk nonsense, they unanimously lifted their battle robes, each pulled out two revolvers, and pulled the triggers repeatedly at the servants' cronies next to the two great generals, only to hear a burst of gunshots, Those servants who were skilled in martial arts fell in a pool of blood one after another.Shi Fu and Shi Daxuan were horrified, they pulled their horses to flee, their temples hurt, and they were blocked by the hot muzzle of the gun.

The soldiers under their command still looked dazed, staring blankly at the general being held in the head by a gun, completely unresponsive...

Shi Fu was so frightened that his teeth chattered, but Shi Daxuan tried to stay calm, and asked, "You...are you the secret agents sent by the Heluo New Army?"

The servant who held the gun against the heads of the two generals looked sincere: "No, we are really General Zheng's servants!"

Shi Daxuan said angrily: "You... you guys! Zheng Biao treats you well, right? The admiral treats you well, right? You actually eat inside and outside? Damn it!"

The captain of Jia Ding said: "Of course General Zheng is kind to us, but they shouldn't provoke the Heluo new army! Do you know? We are as fragile as an egg in front of them, and we will be smashed to pieces with just a light touch. We don't want to die, especially we don't want to be shot to death without even touching the corner of the enemy's clothes! Two generals, please order your subordinates to put down their weapons and surrender, okay? Don't resist, resistance is meaningless, it will only Let your blood flow like a river!"

……

An hour later, Shi Fu and Shi Daxuan were also taken into the prison camp in a trance.With an army of [-], the Heluo New Army almost eliminated all of them without firing a single shot. Such a result made them unbelievable.The most unbelievable thing for them is that the Heluo New Army captured Zhangzhou in less than three days, and drove them and Zheng Biao's [-] troops into the prison camp!My God, [-] pigs can't be caught in three days!
The Heluo new army who came from afar set up ambushes, sneak attacks, and used time. They played superbly and killed 4 of them in a lightning-fast manner. , They entered the prisoner camp before they figured out what was going on... Such absurd and cruel facts made the two generals want to cry, they just wanted to look up to the sky and shout: "Who the hell is this home?" !?"

"You two, are you all here?"

Someone is calling them?

The two generals looked away, oh, in the corner of the prison camp, Zheng Biao was playing landlords with Wang Bin, Zheng Sanfa and the others while it was still dark. Seeing his leisurely appearance, he didn't seem to be After losing the battle, it seems like elementary school students have a holiday and no one cares about them.The two old generals looked dull, their eyes darkened, and they said blankly: "Here we come..."

Zheng Biao said enthusiastically: "Sit down and play cards when you come, Zheng Sanfa, while you go, the four of us will play three-on-one, just watch it..."
