Chapter 481: The Thieves’ World: Take Place

General He Jin, Dashun Guoyi, stood on a small hill in the north of Wuchuan, and there were more than a thousand extremely embarrassed soldiers of the Shun Army. Although He Jin was young, he was also a veteran who started his rebellion with the King of Chuang in Shaanxi, and he was also a person who fought in the sea of ​​blood.

The 20,000 soldiers he brought were all the first people gathered after the King of Rebellion returned to Henan. Almost 60% of them were veterans scattered in Henan when the refugees entered Henan.

In theory, such a scale and strength should be led by Liu Zongmin, Hao Yaoqi, Tian Jianxiu, Li Guo, and Gao Yigong, but King Chuang gave this army to him. This is actually a dilemma. The threat in Kaifeng direction may occur, but the Ming Dynasty's field force in the north actually exists.

Shun's main force must be used to encircle and annihilate more than 100,000 Ming troops led by the commander Hou Xun, but he must be wary of possible attacks from Shandong troops.

Therefore, General Guoyi, who is qualified to fight, came here to guard the war and leave a strong enough force. If Yuan Shizhong, a guerrilla warrior in northern Henan, was ready to take advantage of the Shunming War, this force would defeat Shandong troops, at least block them and wait for the army to return.

General Guoyi He Jin knew that he had a heavy responsibility. Although he felt regretful that he could not participate in the battle to encircle and annihilate Hou Xun's army and achieve meritorious achievements, he also knew that his defense in this direction was also a guarantee of victory.

Moreover, King Chuang personally promised that after this battle, He Jin would become a general, at least there was a piece of land he guarded in Shaanxi. It was a foregone conclusion that Shunjun returned to Shaanxi. All the generals under King Chuang were thinking about returning home in glory and glorious in front of the villagers.

Currently, there are only five generals, and there are still several more qualified and credited to He Jin. However, the King of Chuang gave him such a promise, which is enough for He Jin to stay here to defend.

For this result, He Jin was quite happy. For the rewards and rewards of land, the defense mission was too simple.

Yuan Shizhong, the Xiao Yuan camp opposite, was known as the three heroes of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, and had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, but his combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning at all. However, the mob was extremely unlawful to restrain the troops and horses, so he led his army to escape. The entire army collapsed, and when he arrived at Guide Mansion, he could see how good he was.

Although there are more than 10,000 Shandong soldiers in Kaifeng City, most of these soldiers are local local soldiers in Henan. They are gathered by the two old subordinates. They are much worse than the genuine Shandong soldiers, so there is no need to worry too much. Besides, Kaifeng City is a long way from Wuchuan. If there is any disturbance, someone will definitely get news here. And make timely preparations.

No matter how bad it is, even in the worst condition, Kaifeng is about the same distance from Fengchuan and Xiangcheng, and the main force of Shun Army led by King Chuang can provide support.

General Guoyi He Jin not only considered all aspects, but also did not dare to relax. He ran around the battalions every day to supervise defense, arrange reconnaissance cavalry to go out everywhere, and inquire about the situation around Kaifeng.

It seems that it is a complete plan. It is abnormal, but this is the ending...

General Guoyi He Jin was crying on this mountain without tears. Suddenly nearly 40,000 Shandong soldiers appeared in front of him, and they were the direct troops of Duke Qi. He Jin also understood that his 20,000 troops had no chance of winning, but this battle required a process, and he had to take on the battle, fight, and then defeat. This was the normal procedure.

Nearly 40,000 Shandong soldiers suddenly passed by the Weishi and rushed straight to Wuchuan. They appeared in front of him, and the two mighty generals and several commanders under him led their troops to rebel.

But these mutiny officers are in key positions. Faced with such a fierce enemy, even if they are not in the key position, it will be a big problem, let alone so accurate.

The defense line built by more than 20,000 Shun Army troops spent nearly a month, collapsed instantly as soon as they started fighting. He Jin then understood why the horses came back and said it was quiet. Why did the Shandong army come to his place but found no trace?

In fact, even Li Meng and others did not expect such a complete collapse, and the 20,000 army became a mess in less than two hours.

Jia Dashan, the Guide Dusi, led a regiment of troops from the headquarters. With the cooperation of the armed militia in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture, he took a detour to Changge to set up a defense.

Originally, this defense was to stop He Jin's large defeated troops, so that the Shun Army in Xiangcheng area of ​​Xuzhou would not let the Shun Army know the news too early. Jia Dashan, who was preparing to fight a hard battle, found himself extremely relaxed. The Shun Army General Guoyi, who was originally expected to be very tenacious, collapsed so thoroughly.

The reason why Shunjun's old foundation is valued is not because of their record, but because they have rich experience on the battlefield, have experienced many battles, and are used to blood and death.

With such experience, you will be resilient on the battlefield, and will reasonably allocate your physical strength. You will cooperate with your companions. You will know how to see the opportunities on the battlefield, observe the wind direction on the battlefield, and know what to do at what time. Of course, not everyone can do this, but about 30% of the soldiers can do this.

If this level is reached, these core soldiers can also lead their companions around them to fight together. This is the so-called combat effectiveness and the important role of veterans.

In the deduction of the Jiaozhou Camp Officer's Corps, it was believed that He Jin's 20,000 troops were difficult to crack. Otherwise, the Lingshan Trading Company and the Shandong Salt Gang under the jurisdiction of the Inspection Office would not have spent much effort to buy He Jin, the general among the troops.

Almost one-quarter of the troops turned against each other, and the entire army collapsed directly. The soldiers did not run towards Xuzhou, but could still be called retreat and reorganized. In that way, everyone should be cautious and beware of being bitten back in the process of chasing or attacking.

But when those companions turned against each other, the army formations of Shandong soldiers unfolded and fired before charging with three-pound cannons, the artillery exploded, and the entire Shun army began to collapse and turned into a scattered sand. Almost 60% of the remaining soldiers and horses collapsed in all directions.

The rest of the people launched a suicide attack on the Jiaozhou camp formation in the mountains. Then the one who was not dead was running around to survive. The only troops that He Jin could collect were the more than a thousand personal soldiers around him. Looking at the chaos everywhere, he was really crying.

Even Li Meng felt incredible what happened now. However, Yuan Shizhong followed the army and said a few words, "This refugee army has no foundation. Calculate that Li Chuang entered Henan from the Eighteen Cavalry of Yufu Mountain. It was just about three years, and it has been a smooth victory. How could the soldiers bear any setbacks?"

In fact, Yuan Shizhong's words were just a little bit hard. In the battle between the Shun Army and the Ming Army, they were very resilient and often dragged down the Ming Army to achieve the final victory. The 20,000 led by General Guoyi He Jin were all powerful soldiers, so how could it be so easy to collapse?

The more veterans and soldiers of the Shun Army were. The more they participated in the WoShui Battle that year, the more they were killed by cutting melons and vegetables, the more shocked they were.

Knowing that Yuan Shizhong's troops were not considered the decent Shandong army, He Jin's mind was quite stable. After all, when the Shun Army was in Henan and the local tyrants such as Xiao Yuanying and Li Zhenhai, they all had the record of winning all their victories. They were both old brothers and had confidence in each other.

Moreover, these officers and soldiers never felt that Kaifeng City would have any threat to this place. After all, there was no sign or news...

When the army of Jiaozhou Camp suddenly appeared in front of this army, it is conceivable that the psychological shock was imaginable. What I saw was Li Meng's commanding flag. Everyone was panicked. The Shun Army might not have confidence in fighting Shandong soldiers when there were many people, let alone seeing Jiaozhou Camp at this time was a huge advantage.

Extremely suddenly, the enemy with absolute advantage appeared, and then the old brothers suddenly turned against each other and exploded the camp. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Shun Army realized that they had nothing to rely on, and that they were so close to failure.

The superposition of various situations has led to the current situation. A large number of landlords and gentry in the area west of Kaifeng Prefecture fled to live around Kaifeng City.

Their relatives and friends were all in their original place, either tortured and killed by the Shun Army or hid in the mountains to protect themselves. These landlords' armed militias hated the Shun Army. There was a deep hatred of blood, and the Duke of Qi came here. Everyone wanted to show their strength in front of Li Meng, gaining wealth and prosperity in the future. They spared no effort in fighting and moved forward desperately. Even if the collapsed Shun Army gathered together and tried to fight again, they were defeated by these red-eyed militias. These militias were merciless in their actions, and the surrendered Shun Army soldiers were killed directly.

Speaking of Shandong soldiers, they only set up a formation and fired a few shots. This victory is really simple.

General Guoyi, trapped on the hill, did not care about urging the soldiers to excavate fortifications and form formations to guard against the next wave of attacks from Shandong soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

He had reached this point and was bound to be defeated. What else should he be prepared for? He just died early and late. He Jin looked at the direction of Xiangcheng, hoping that there would be soldiers running out to inform him and let the King of Chuang know the news. He was completely desperate.

I was still full of confidence when I woke up this morning, but just a few hours passed and the situation reached such a desperate situation. It was incredible.

"General He, why are we rebelling for? It's not for gold, silver, wine and meat. We can live happily for the rest of our lives without being bullied. Duke Qi has given more than Prince Chuang. Let's surrender!!"

"General He, the mistress also raised an army with you from Shaanxi to seek survival. If it weren't for your kindness, the mistress would not have survived today and would not have become this mighty general. But we can't defeat the heavenly army in Shandong. The Duke of Qi is kind and righteous, and give us a way to survive. General He, if you defect to Duke of Qi, your future will be no less than under the King of Chuang!"

Hearing these words, they were all the military generals who were familiar to He Jin. He didn't even have the strength to get angry. He Jin could see the soldiers around him secretly looking back and see that the voices of persuasion below were very convincing. Didn't the Shun Army say that the future is boundless and that the world will collapse soon? Why did those promising generals and the commander surrender when they said they surrender, and they were all trusted subordinates of General He Jin.

These people were sitting high and they could figure it out. They had all surrendered. Why are we still fighting to the death here? Can these thousands of people withstand the Jiaozhou Camp's attack?

"General He, Lord Duke has an order. As long as you put down your weapons, surrender immediately, and immediately follow the title of General Attendant, the headquarters will be reorganized into three regiments, and you can guard a prefecture in Henan."

He Jin knew where the general was, but the adaptation of the third regiment was very confused. As for the guardian of the mansion, that was also a great promise, it was really tempting.

"General He, you still have half an hour. If you don't make a decision, my Jiaozhou Camp will attack!"

The repeated persuasion of surrender immediately stopped, and teams of Shandong soldiers began to step forward. It was still cloudy and there was no rain. But the ground was still extremely muddy.

He Jin on the mountain can see the soldiers of Jiaozhou camp at the foot of the mountain matted the wooden boards and straws under the cannon wheels and dragged the cannons to move towards this side. This little thing can tell the difference between them. If it were Shun Army, the weather would not be able to pull out the cannons to attack. But Shandong soldiers can.

It is unlikely that the thousand people around me want to rush down. Even if they take advantage of the condescending ones, it would be strange if they beat the Shandong soldiers below.

Looking at the more than a thousand personal soldiers, people kept looking back at him. The expressions of expectation were all on his face. General Guoyi He Jin knew that these most hard-core soldiers had no intention of fighting. Since the other party offered the conditions for surrender, it would be better to surrender than to die here in battle.

He Jin was holding a knife in his hand and was preparing for battle. When he saw his personal soldiers' appearance, he suddenly felt that his fighting spirit was gone. From the rebellion of Shaanxi officials to the present, it was like a joke. He thought he could follow the King of Chuang to conquer this world of flowers and be named a marquis and ministers, but who would have thought that he would be in vain in the end?

Thinking of this, He Jin had no strength at all. The knife in his hand almost fell to the ground. He smiled on his face and said to his subordinates in front of him:

"Subdued. This battle has reached this point. We will fight again, and fight again, and we will die. After selling for so many years, we can be worthy of ourselves and the King of Chuang..."

Suddenly, when the head general said such words, everyone was quite surprised, especially those in the front team had not heard the low voice, and they were still coming from the leader near the ground with He Jin. Everyone didn't care about the Shandong soldiers approaching the mountain, and they all looked at He Jin with surprise.

General Guoyi He Jin saw everyone looking over, smiled and waved his hand, and said:

"Drop your weapons and go down and descend. I heard that Shandong is a peaceful and peaceful place, no matter whether it is a soldier or a civilian, and it is not better to go there than now."

With He Jin's loyalty to King Chuang, he suddenly said this, which was shocking. His personal soldiers knew that He Jin was not saying the truth, but would die if he continued to fight. There was still a way out for surrender. It was still easy to make a decision between life and death.

Such a sudden collapse and defeat, and such embarrassingly surrounded and surrendered, every soldier of Shun Army felt unwillingness and humiliation from his heart, but there was no way, and he could only do so. Some soldiers couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot, threw down their weapons, put their hands on their heads as required by the mountain, and walked down to surrender.

When things got to this point, no one paid attention to He Jin, the chief general of the first army. Several personal guards wanted to be with him, but were also bombarded by He Jin.

The small mountain bag is actually not high, and it is clearly seen from above and below. There is no chance of resistance. The three-pound run at the foot of the mountain directly hits He Jin's position.

He Jin finally walked down the mountain with force, and his troops came to accept the surrendered soldiers. The nearby landlords, gentry and armed militia were now ordered to garrison Jia Dashan in Guidedushi, and they also wanted to go to Xiangcheng, Jiaxian and the army of the King of Chuangwang to report their letters, so naturally they don’t have to be polite.

However, there are only these people left. Whether they go to the fields to be the military farmer who will never turn over, or select them to fight soldiers, they are all good human resources and cannot be wasted so easily, so they arranged for Yuan Shizhong to escort these people back to Kaifeng City.

Although the weather was gloomy, Li Meng could still see He Jin's movements on the mountain when he rode on the horse. It seemed that He Jin was also looking at this side on the mountain.

Li Meng was in a bit complicated. He Jin might be a very famous figure in history, but in his limited historical knowledge in modern times, he did not have the name of this person. Perhaps he had another ending in his history without his own. Now he has changed, and history has changed because of himself.

Next, there will be more celebrities in history. Because of their own appearance, they will end their lives early and change their destiny for a lifetime.

Li Meng, who was sitting on the horse, suddenly smiled and waved to He Jin on the mountain. The generals and personal soldiers next to him did not know the meaning of his commander's move. Everyone was stern and did not speak.

In fact, at this time, Li Meng felt quite energetic. The heroes of the world were about to take charge of their own hands, and they decided their life and death. Shouldn’t a real man behave like this?

General Guoyi He Jin did not see the man under Shuai recruiting him. He couldn't see anything at this distance, so he could only see the handsome driver surrounded by the handsome driver.

I heard that the Duke of Qi is very young, and I don’t know how he could achieve this in less than ten years at this age. But it’s not about his own business.

Seeing that the soldiers on the mountain walked down the mountain bag, He Jin sorted out his clothes and turned to the west, which was the direction of Xiangcheng and Jiaxian, where the brothers of Chuangwang Heshunjun were.

I thought that I couldn't survive in farming.                                                                                                                         �

In just a few years, King Chuang had already established Dashun. It seemed that the world was won. Everyone was founding fathers, and they could not enjoy the glory and wealth. When they were looking for food in the land, they did not expect that they would be today.

Just this morning, I thought it was smooth sailing, and a few hours later.   It was not dark yet.    Everything just disappeared, and it turned out to be a dream that was empty.

"This thief world..."

He Jin muttered in a low voice. Put the knife around his neck and pull it hard.

General Guoyi, who was stationed in Wuchuan, committed suicide by defeating and 20,000 soldiers of Shun Army were either defeated or surrendered. After this battle, the main force of Shun Army in Jiaxian was already open to the east.

Li Meng, Duke of Qi, personally led a large army of 35,000 in Jiaozhou camp. After defeating He Jin's troops, he did not stop and led his army to advance directly, surpassing Changge, and quickly approaching Xiangcheng through Xuzhou.

The rain began to get heavier again, and the marching of Jiaozhou camp with heavy weapons was also extremely difficult, but the troops were firmly approaching the main force of the Shun Army, and the landlords and gentry who had lived here and later moved to Kaifeng were mobilized to use all the power they could use to assist the army forward and ensure that the news of the march was not leaked.

In fact, in such weather and in such a war in Jiaxian area, the people had long since fled in all directions. As for those provocations, their role was equal to zero under the absolute advantage of Shandong and local militia.

In Wadian, Yangbu and other towns near Runing Prefecture and Fengyang Prefecture in Nanzhili, the Shun Army deployed there were in a panic. Tens of thousands of Shandong soldiers appeared in Shenqiu Town, where Kaifeng Prefecture and Fengyang Prefecture, easily defeated the Shun Army garrison troops there and moved towards the direction of Runing Prefecture City. Wadian, Yangbu and other towns were on this necessary road.

The Shun Army was not wary of the two Jiaozhou battalions in the expedition of the West and Pingnan in Southern Zhili. First, it was to judge that the main direction of these two troops was to face various parts of Jiangnan, and second, it had no extra force to target these troops.

Jiaozhou Camp has always been in a quiet state and low-key manner with Li Meng. Li Zicheng is determined to bet this time. He can calmly recuperate or use all his strength to deal with Shandong. However, eight out of ten people are unsatisfied in the world. This time he was wrong.

General Guoyi Liu Fangliang and Liu Tichun led the elite troops of the Shun Army, fighting to the death with the Ming army led by Yansui General Gao Jie. What they left behind in Ruzhou City were local garrison troops, which were not strong in combat power, and could only defend the city.

On September 12, the defenders on the city saw a large group of cavalry coming from the north at noon. They quickly closed the city gate and were on guard at the top of the city. Ruzhou City was obviously not the target of the cavalry. The commander in the city thought to himself whether this was a reinforcement unit led by General Tian Mixiu.

Until he saw the big flag with red characters on black background, the blood-red character "Li" in the center of the black flag...
