Chapter 287

Of course, Liu Bu's army has made sufficient preparations to go to Fengyang. However, there are more than 3500 troops along the way, which can also form a light car battalion team.

This is the rapid reaction force of this era, because they have a large number of horses, more than half of the soldiers can ride with horses or donkeys, and they also have a large number of carriages. These carriages are actually composed of the horse convoys of the Liu family caravan, which transport goods for the army.

If other armies fight, a large number of civilian men must be allowed to transport food and supplies for them. If they do not catch civilian men to transport food for them, it will be even worse. These soldiers should carry their own food.

Even the best troops need soldiers to carry their weapons and equipment, and even some food, which Liu Jiajun can completely avoid.

Their approach is that the army has more than a dozen people with a cart as the core, and their weapons, equipment and food are loaded on the cart. If they have an enemy situation in case of war, they will immediately unload their weapons and take them on themselves, which can enable the army to maintain physical strength to the greatest extent in the process of marching.

This also allows them to march in the form of groups and maintain their fighting state at any time. This is an attack. Even if they encounter the attack of the enemy army, they can also have the ability to resist and counterattack.

Zhang Xianzhong is the top figure among the wandering bandits, and his several camps are also one of the most powerful figures.

Originally, the roving bandits were composed of rebel forces from all over the country. At the beginning, they were 13 armies. After the 13 armies, they gradually expanded to 36 battalions.

Zhang Xianzhong is one of the most elite troops in the 36th battalion. He inherited the pulse of Wang Jiayin and Wang Zizi, but he also played his own name and was regarded as the leader among the wandering bandits.

Even Gao Yingxiang will have some headaches, that is, what kind of status should Zhang Xianzhong be given.

Gao Yingxiang is a well deserved leader and general leader among the wandering bandits, but now Zhang Xianzhong, a great general, has performed far better than his leader.

Even though he, the leader of the alliance, defeated the officers and fought with them for many times, led hundreds of thousands of troops to the Central Plains in the East, Jianghuai in the South and fought with the officers everywhere, he was still a few blocks away from Zhang Xianzhong's heroic deeds, such as breaking Fengyang, the capital of China, destroying the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty and breaking the dragon vein of the Zhu family. Gao Yingxiang must understand this, That is, he must give Zhang Xianzhong a higher status, otherwise the people and subjects will not surrender.

Therefore, after Gao Yingxiang knew that Zhang Xianzhong had opened a good situation in Xingyang, he also quickly led his army south. He was thinking about how to face Zhang Xianzhong and how to give him status after entering Fengyang?

But Zhang Xianzhong is also very knowledgeable. He didn't die in Fengyang. He also took the initiative to move away from Fengyang and go out to fight another territory.

Such knowledge and interest made Gao Yingxiang very happy. He immediately thought that he could give Zhang Xianzhong a second head position, and his position would be higher than that of Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng and others.

After he left Fengyang, Zhang Xianzhong led the army all the way south, swept all the way, and occupied many cities. He took the initiative to give these sites to Gao Yingxiang. He can be regarded as an extremely powerful figure who opened up new territories and the top person and object among the wandering bandits. If there is any change in the future, he can also become a leader.

Even Gao Yingxiang knows that Zhang Xianzhong will certainly wipe out thousands of troops and lay a large area of land for them in the north of the Yangtze River, making their strategic space and living space broader.

I believe that having such figures in their rebel army can make them invincible and frighten the officers and soldiers.

Who knows, then came the shocking news that Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in Anqing city. He was not only defeated, but also captured alive.

When Gao Yingxiang heard the news, he was drinking and having fun in his temporary camp. Zhang Xianzhong was very good at life. He left by himself before Gao Yingxiang entered Fengyang, but he left him a lot of good things, including food, property and beautiful women.

After having these things, Gao Yingxiang's affection for Zhang Xianzhong rose sharply. He thought that having such talents was the blessing of the rebel army.

Gao Yingxiang was very hard driving all the way, so in the colorful world of Fengyang, he immediately entered the gentle village and enjoyed life.

Why did he rebel? Why do you want to run around the world? It's not to live a better life. Now there are endless wine and beauty who can't sleep. What else can he think of? Since the officers and soldiers have always been in Suzhou and Chuzhou in the north of Fengyang and dare not go south, he is relieved to indulge in pleasure here in Fengyang. This is called drinking today and getting drunk today.

However, it can also be said that they captured Fengyang and swept so many cities. With the caution of Hong Chengchou and Zhu Dadian, they dare not go south easily without enough troops.

So when Gao Yingxiang heard such terrible news, he was almost stunned and hurriedly called the generals of other major camps to discuss major events.

For the wandering bandits, Zhang Xianzhong contributed to Fengyang, the capital of China. It was a surprise. They couldn't believe that such a good thing would fall on them.

But at the same time, he was also shocked and afraid that Zhang Xianzhong was captured alive when he was defeated in Anqing house.

This was beyond their expectation and shocked them. Everyone couldn't believe such a thing.

Zhang Xianzhong is an exquisite man with all sides. He not only gave Gao Yingxiang a big gift, but also gave other camp generals a few big gifts. Therefore, the other camp generals are very impressed with him. They think he is a figure capable of commanding the three armed forces, which can be compared with Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng.

Who knows that such a powerful character will be destroyed under Anqing City, and even himself will be captured alive.

Is such news too shocking? The rogue bandits were shocked and unprepared.

So far, they don't have an accurate war report. The main thing is the information provided by a large number of deserters. The information provided by the deserters is not comprehensive. They all have their own opinions. Some people say that Liu Jiajun defeated them there, and others say that Liu Jiajun is false, In fact, it was governor Ying Tian who led hundreds of thousands of troops secretly lurking in Anqing house, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

Another saying is that the officers and soldiers transferred a large number of troops from Nanjing and invited the invincible general when Taizu swept through the Mongols.

It was these so-called invincible generals who concentrated their bombardment and killed hundreds of people with one shot before they disrupted and were taken advantage of by the officials and troops.

The so-called invincible general is actually their large artillery. In those days, Zhu Yuanzhang could defeat the elite Mongolian cavalry because he used a lot of artillery. They made a lot of contributions because of these artillery, so he also gave these artillery the title of general and enjoyed high treatment.

Now the morale of the army is in chaos. There are all kinds of statements. People are in panic and chaos.

Even the most elite Zhang Xianzhong department in their army was beaten and could not find the north, not to mention the others. They were in constant panic all day.

A few days ago, they were very happy. They were happy here, eating large pieces of meat and drinking in large bowls. As for the officers and soldiers entrenched in the north, they looked after the house and guard the yard.

However, only after Zhang Xianzhong was destroyed did they know the strength of the army and that it was really difficult to deal with it. If they were a little careless, they would end up with the destruction of the whole army. Like Zhang Xianzhong, he actually ended up the worst. After he did so many things, the emperor would not spare him. He would certainly kill him thousands of times.

The most powerful Zhang Xianzhong can't resist, let alone other people, so they are really afraid now. Now there are a large army in the north and a large army in the south. If the north and South attack, it is estimated that they will be destroyed under Fengyang city.

The situation was so bad that even the main generals of the major camps had no way. Their conventional way was to leave immediately.

They know that the power of the officers and soldiers is still very strong. If they resist hard, they will be destroyed as early as the first year of Suozhen, but they can drag and drag the officers and soldiers through mobile warfare.

So now when they are facing a great crisis, what they think is not how to deal with the officers and soldiers, but how to transfer.

In fact, the core of their roving bandit operations is the rapid flow. Through the rapid flow, the officers and soldiers can not catch their main force and jump into the air everywhere, and they can also take the opportunity to attack the weaknesses of the officers and soldiers. This is the main way for them to work in the constant World War order and live for so long in so many places.

This is also the reason why Liu Bu dared to send out a large army to attack the Fengyang city occupied by more than 100000 people of the other party, because he knew that these rogue bandits did not have a strong sense of fighting a hard battle. They all fled and hid everywhere, and easily did not dare to fight against the main force of the official Army.

They had never dared to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the official Army before, but now they dare even more. Therefore, if Liu Bucai dared to lead thousands of troops, he would make a big fuss and claim to recover Fengyang. It would be more an armed March than an attack to recover Fengyang.
