Chapter 364 Give up supplies

"Everyone, the thief is going to withdraw. Are you really doing nothing? I want to do something. I have to do something. I have pity my unmarried daughter, who was ruined by the livelihood of those animals, and my daughter is dead... I must take revenge. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will let the thieves know that we have men in Jiaxing..."

"Duanmu... I'll be with you... I've been impatient for a long time. Those beasts are dead. They have done so many evil things. Now they want to leave?" The person who spoke was a strong man in green. He was originally a constable Xing Sen of Jiaxing. Later, the bandits rampaged Jiaxing. In order to avoid the bandits, they took off their clothes. Xing Sen was afraid of death, but when he saw his neighbors who had been harmed for many years, especially those poor women, his heart was stolen.

"Okay...Captain Xing, let's leave now, how many can we kill..." Duan Juxing's eyes were red. When he picked up the long sword, he had no intention of living.

Duan Jupiter and Xing Sen took the lead and shouted at the neighbors who were full of anger. They left the house with all kinds of weapons, and the crowd gathered on the long street, and more and more. In just one hour, almost half of the people of Jiaxing walked out of the house, and they rushed to the west after leaving the city gate. At this moment, the people of Jiaxing broke out. They seemed to have forgotten to die and were determined to take revenge.

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Chongzhen, after several days of preparation, the Xuanfu army stationed in Huzhou marched southward and approached Deqing County. Li Zicheng's most sensitive nerves were touched. In order to ensure that there was no problem with Deqing County, he even transferred all the troops from other places back, and the army gathered at Qianjinghe in the southwest of Deqing.

Tiemo was not in a hurry to attack Deqing County. Deqing and Wukang were incompatible. Li Zicheng attached great importance to Deqing. In addition, the walls of Deqing County were reinforced, and his garrison power was definitely not comparable to Wukang.

"Where have the bandits in Jiaxing Mansion gone?"

Li Jiucheng bowed and said, "Supervisor, according to the reports of the spies in front, the bandits from Jiaxing Prefecture had withdrawn from Jiaxing the day before yesterday and should have arrived in Tongxiang area. It is expected that the vanguard of the bandits will arrive in Chongde at noon tomorrow. In addition, there are other situations in Jiaxing. A group of people from Jiaxing spontaneously organized and were chasing the bandits to the west. In addition, Yanding, Yanguan Town, Haining, also showed signs of instability..."

Wang Zuohang took out his hand in his sleeve and gently touched the bridge of his nose. His eyes, which were usually full of wisdom, were a little more worried at this time. These things were not expected, especially the matter of Yanguan Town, which may have a profound impact on the entire battle situation.

"The commander, there are many salt dynasties in Haining County. If the salt dynasties really take the opportunity to revive, we are afraid that we will be in big trouble. Should we divide our troops to Haining?" Wang Zuoguai was very worried that the salt dynasties in Haining County will meet with the bandits. If the bandits take advantage of Haining's unstable Haining County to bypass Deqing, the plans they had previously planned will be ruined.

Tiemo thought for a while, patted the map on the desktop with his hand, and said with a frown: "No, do everything as planned. If the bandits really detour Haining, then we will try to eat the bandits in Deqing County in one breath."

It is said that it is going to rain and mother wants to get married. Many things are really unforced. The matter of salt diced is not considered, and there is no extra military force to deal with the salt diced. Haining has more than 100,000 salt diceded, and these salt diced live a poor life all year round and are suppressed. When the bandits come, they plunder everywhere, which has given the salt diced quite a lot of excitement.

Time flies, and twilight comes in a blink of an eye. Looking at the stars in the sky, Tiemo felt sad. It was another New Year's Eve, but he spent the haze of war. It was a beautiful night, but it was a beautiful Jiangnan, but it was filled with sorrow and confusion. The sound of the bell in the distance means that the new year has begun. What will happen tomorrow? What will happen next year?

The fourth year of Chongzhen was destined to be a chaotic year. It seems that since Chongzhen came to power, the Ming Dynasty has never had peace. From the northwest to the Central Plains, from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River, to now, there is no pure land.

On the first day of the first lunar month, when thousands of families were supposed to be lit and worshiping, the eastern part of Zhejiang was in a tense atmosphere. The peasant army in Deqing City could not retreat and tried every means to strengthen the city wall. The traces of officers and soldiers could be seen outside the city. Although we knew that Deqing City could not block the endless artillery fire, so what? We were not sure when we went out to fight. It was strange that after the Xuanfu army arrived in Deqing City, it did not bombard Deqing City or launched an attack.

Near Deqing was in an unusually calm, but Li Yan's troops who were rushing to Deqing City were not feeling well. Because of the large amount of supplies, the leaders of each division were unwilling to give up, which led to the long team and the speed was naturally extremely slow. Li Yan had already ordered the spies to disperse and was cautious, but something still happened. Fan Ling, who was at the end of the team, was chased by someone, and the people who were chasing Fan Ling were actually the people of Jiaxing.

These Jiaxing people are crazy. They are not afraid of death at all. They rushed up and killed people when they see them. They cut off people's heads and inserted them on wooden sticks. Their methods are extremely cruel. You can't imagine that these thugs in front of them were actually the cowardly Jiaxing people before. Fan Ling felt a little panicked, but he was more angry. He waved his knife and roared: "The people in front will withdraw, kill me, and kill these ignorant guys."

"Captain Fan, Leader Li repeatedly reminds us to follow us quickly and not to get entangled with these people." The deputy general looked embarrassed and advised him. However, Fan Ling was even more furious. He pulled him over and spitted with a spit and scolded Xingzi: "A leader Li and a yellow-haired child, you can listen to his words. Humph, retreat, look at the current situation, can we withdraw? Those people inserted the brothers' heads into sticks and kicked them as balls. If I retreat like this, the brothers' hearts will dissipate..."

Fan Ling has always looked down on Li Yan and speaks rudely, but this time his words still make some sense. The team carried too much supplies and was slower, so he was bitten by this group of mobs. Now they are all entangled, so they can retreat just by retreating? Besides, the other party's methods are so cruel, it is obvious that they are provocative. If they don't care about anything and continue to travel west, what will their brothers think?

Fan Ling roared and gathered a large number of troops to start suppressing the people of Jiaxing. The people of Jiaxing could fight all the way down to the anger and hatred in their hearts, but in terms of battlefield fighting, they were not as good as those of the bandits. In just a quarter of an hour, tens of thousands of people of Jiaxing were divided into several pieces by Fan Ling. At this time, the people of Jiaxing were in a mess and had no rules at all.

After calming down, fear began to climb up to his heart, and many people fled towards Jiaxing. Fan Ling was angry and covered her with murder, intending to avenge her brother who had died tragically before.

Less than five miles east of Chongde, Li Yan grabbed his hair straight. Now Fan Ling was determined to wipe out the people of Jiaxing who were causing trouble. The team behind him had stopped. No matter Fan Ling? Fan Ling deserves to die, but those rebel brothers cannot take risks with Fan Ling. Several messengers have been sent, but Fan Ling ignored them at all, "What do he want to do this Fan Ling? Do you want to kill back to Jiaxing again? Brother Lu, why don't you go there yourself and you can't continue to get entangled like this."

"Well, let's go now, brother." Lu Weiliang responded with a serious expression, turned over and drove over with a few people. The army could not stay in Chongde for too long. Chongde's terrain was flat and the rivers were relatively few. The nearby dozens of miles was a good place to use cavalry. If a cavalry came from the north and rushed into the middle of the team at this time, something big would happen.

Li Yan was rushing to retreat west, but it was not unreasonable. Unfortunately, Fan Ling and his group couldn't understand it. Sometimes Lu Weiliang also wanted to kill Fan Ling. This guy relied on his qualifications and had a good relationship with the King of Chuang. He thought about doing whatever he wanted and did whatever he wanted.

After Lu Weiliang left, Li Yan ordered the surrounding army to continue to approach Chongde County. He was about to enter the city, but he saw a scattered trace in front of him. After getting closer, he found that these people looked frightened and all of them seemed to have lost their souls. Li Yan's heart skipped a beat. Aren't these people's troops stationed in Chongde? They appeared here, does it mean...

"Captain Li, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are here... they are the cavalry of Yun Mansion. They came from the north and attacked the county town at night. Now the county town has fallen into the hands of the officers and soldiers. Leader Luo has retreated to Deqing. He asked us to tell you to be careful..."

Li Yan stared at and unconsciously held the sword on his waist tightly. If Luo Zhixiang was in front of him, he really wanted to kill this guy with one sword. He is such a turtle, he can't defend Chongde, but you're just setting up defenses in the east and notify him in advance. He was fine. When he saw that the situation was not good, he ran away and didn't care about other people's lives or death. He was so close to Chongde, so he knew the truth, so everything was too late. It was less than ten miles away from the Iron Cavalry of Yun Mansion.

"The whole army is on guard...the whole army is on guard...notify Leader Lu, come back quickly, and tell Fan Ling that if he still wants to go back alive, he will get back immediately!" Li Yan was cruel this time. If it really didn't work, he would ignore Fan Ling's guys.

Li Yan's reaction was not slow, but it was still too late after all. The leaders of each unit hurriedly ordered his brothers to form the formation, but almost everyone was wearing a bag and was unwilling to give up, which led to the formation being loose and as slow as a snail. The rumbling sound came from the west, and soon there was a black torrent in the north. The cavalry of Yunfu came from two directions. In an instant, the heavy cavalry was like a heavy hammer, knocking the loose formation of the peasant army out of a crack. The crack became wider and wider and could no longer heal.

All this came too quickly. The formation organized hastily was like a layer of paper in front of the heavy cavalry. With a light poke, there were holes everywhere. In an orderly line, the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry cooperated with each other, and there was gunfire in the distance. The Yunfu cavalry were skilled in bowing and horses, and they could even ride on horseback to fire guns, and some could even shoot arrows.

At this moment, Li Yan personally experienced the power of the cavalry and truly realized the terrible part of the Yunfu Iron Cavalry. In the wilderness, the cavalry rushed the peasant army into pieces with a thrust and rotten force. They swept the iron chains of horses and iron chains, and countless casualties. The light cavalry divided into hundreds of teams, constantly fighting, resulting in the peasant army being unable to organize an effective counterattack.

He clearly has an advantage in military strength, but in front of the Iron Cavalry of Yunfu, he cannot exert any advantage in military strength. Perhaps, this is the innate disadvantage of infantry against cavalry. Once the cavalry takes the lead, infantry is like a slaughtered lamb.

As they continued to rush, some leaders finally couldn't bear it anymore. They each found their own direction and prepared to escape. It was no problem, but their movement caused larger gaps in many places. The cavalry rushed back and forth along the gap more unscrupulously. In a blink of an eye, casualties were in full swing, and the earth was dyed red.

Orger slowly raised the weapon in his hand, his cold face was like the ice in winter. "Don't chase and attack the opponent's own formation with all his might. Never let this group of bandits come back to their senses... The thief's discarded property should not be paid attention to. Whoever dares to catch things privately will kill them!"

At this time, the gap between the peasant army and the Yunfu cavalry was completely revealed. In order to escape, many peasant soldiers threw their bags on the ground. For a moment, the blood-red ground was full of various treasures, but the cavalry were unmoved at all.

Li Yan saw it clearly. When the cavalry were not tempted by gold, silver and treasures, he could only sigh that the Yunfu cavalry was strictly disciplined. After being defeated, he was completely defeated. He had originally expected these yellow and white things to mess up the other party and gain a chance to breathe for himself. The plan failed and there was no possibility of counterattack. He raised his head and looked at Chongde County in the west. Li Yan held his hand tightly, "Each division abandoned all the supplies and withdrew to Haining County with all his strength."

"Here...but, before Leader Fan's men could catch up..." The man who spoke was halfway through, and was frightened by Li Yan's cold eyes. Li Yan drew out his sword and glared coldly, "Whoever wants to wait, Li will not be with him..."

Li Yan now chopped Fan Ling up and had the intention of feeding the dog. If it weren't for Fan Ling, the army wouldn't have moved so slowly. If he had arrived in Chongde County earlier, would he be caught by the Yunfu cavalry? In this situation, Fan Ling would have been asking for good luck. Who would have cared about him? Li Yan took his men and horses to the southwest, and the others would not hesitate. Everyone said it was okay, stayed and waited for Fan Ling unless he had a big manure on his head.

Li Yan led his troops to evacuate, and his baggage was even lost. At this time, no one cared about these yellow and white things, and his desire defeated everything. However, in this way, Fan Ling and others who had been behind the team were in trouble. After learning about the battle situation ahead, Fan Ling was so scared that he quickly tightened his troops and rushed towards Chongde without stopping, but on the way, he was told that the main army had evacuated towards Haining.

Fan Ling was stunned. Now there are less than 10,000 soldiers around him. What should I do? I can't fight and run away. I don't have to ask for supplies anymore. I can't take them anymore. I can only go to the Hall of Hell to report.

Everyone ran away with panic. Fan Ling sat on the horse's back, his eyes full of cold light. He raised his head and looked at the person behind him, and made a secret decision in his heart.

"Brothers, we will also retreat to Haining County to speed up and don't let the officers and soldiers catch up..."

“Haining County…quick…”
