Chapter 561 White Horse and Silver Spear Li Zicheng
"Brothers, the fat sheep is here!"
Luo Rucai said.
After saying that, he waved his hand to the back and then led his subordinates into the forest ahead.
He stayed in Yan'an until the end of August, and then left the distant place of the victims. At that time, some replanted sweet potatoes and even big green crops had grown very well, especially those sweet potato seedlings that alleviated the victims' difficulties to the greatest extent. After all, this was not the continuous drought that followed. The harvest in Yan'an Prefecture last year was quite good, and there were still some inventory among the people. This year, it was even more common in terms of rainwater...
Snow water is also water.
The Yang family's oil trade also brought back a large amount of food for those carrying teams.
After the Yang family raised the purchase price of oil, donkey farming has been launched in all parts of Yan'an Prefecture, and the things that make a fortune must be sought after. Now these donkey camels have become the lifeline of Yan'an Prefecture. In order to encourage the cultivation of sweet potatoes, the Yang family purchased a large number of dried sweet potatoes in various places. These stored grains have also become life-saving things, at least there is no pressure to deal with this natural disaster.
When the sweet potatoes in various places grow back, they can barely hold on.
Then he hurried back to the team.
Because Yang Xin allowed him to recruit another group of new recruits, and there were indeed a large number of young and strong people in the area who yearned for joining the army, he recruited more than 300 more in the Yan'an area...
Including the one around him.
Li Zicheng was met at the post station. After learning about Li Jin's current situation, he could not suppress his restless heart. After all, being an intern is really no future, and he just wants to make a living.
Although he is Li Jin's uncle, the two are about the same age as their brothers. Otherwise, Li Jin would not have robbed him of prison and saved him. It's not that the relationship is so good, how could he risk his head beheading and robbed him of prison and saved him?
Now that Li Jin is an official, he will certainly want to join him.
In the end, Li Zicheng, as one of the recruits recruited by Luo Rucai, embarked on a journey south together. They all rode horses, and the Yang family's business also purchased enough horses for them and rushed south from northern Shaanxi. However, when they arrived in Fengyang, Yang Xin had already entered Nanjing, and the surrounding roads were blocked by the government troops, prohibiting the Yangjiazhuang households in Fengyang from leaving their reclamation area.
However, this is not a problem for Luo Rucai to do this. He simply took these subordinates to walk across the blockade line and crossed the river as a business traveler. However, he was smart and did not choose to enter Nanjing, but instead entered the mountainous area of Niushou Mountain to attack the Datong Army's logistics team.
Then his bandit soul awakened instantly.
This guy used the Datong Army to force the recruitment of civilians in the Taiping Prefecture area, which made the people angry and quickly launched the sign of the whistle commander of the bandit army to develop in this area.
As for him being a foreigner...
That doesn't matter, it's enough that he is the genuine whistle commander of the bandit army.
What's more, he still has the right to recruit soldiers.
This area is close to Zhaoyi City, and the Yang family has mined in Ma'anshan before. What life did the Yang family miners have seen is obvious to all. It can be said that the people have long known the benefits of following Governor Yang. They have already had a lot of worries in their hearts. When they were forced by the Datong Army and the gentry, they can be said to have regarded Yang Xin as their savior.
Now there is a man who claims to be Governor Yang's subordinate who comes to resist with him, so of course he is regarded as a relative.
The fleeing civilians, fugitive slaves, and even some deserters all surrendered to him. This guy's talent was beyond doubt. In addition, Li Zicheng's achievements were even more powerful. As a result, in just two months, he actually pulled up a guerrilla team of nearly a thousand people. Relying on the help of local subordinates and the support of the people from all over the country, they opened the landlord's houses and opened the warehouses and released grain in the Taiping Prefecture area from time to time, and attacked the Datong Army's transportation team. They lived a very comfortable life, and even defeated the Datong Army's encirclement several times.
If you can't beat it, just run away.
This area has mountains and water nets, and there is a vast Yangtze River next to it. A small team of less than a thousand people is easy to deal with.
This time, they learned that the decisive battle began and came to prepare for a big fight. Unexpectedly, they ended so soon. They didn't get the chance to join the war, but they just happened to run into two fat sheep...
"Prepare!"
Luo Rucai whispered.
In the dark woods behind him, figures were close to the ground under the dry weeds, and their eyes were staring at the galloping cavalry.
They don't have many long-range weapons.
The main ones are some hunters' bamboo crossbows, bows and arrows found by the gentry's family, several seized muskets, and then messy cold weapons such as swords and guns, and basically no armor, but these cavalry are well-equipped and each of them carries a few short guns.
At this moment, they are like the Green Forest heroes in Europe who ambushed the knights.
"They are running for life. At this time, the soldiers want to escape. Don't worry about them. Just follow these two people and rush out together. How fast they are, and go out and shout first, saying that we are the bandits. The cavalry are scared at this moment. They will definitely leave these two people and run away. Even if there are not many people fighting with us."
Li Zicheng whispered.
“It makes sense!”
Luo Rucai nodded.
The two thief leaders feel very close.
Luo Rucai quietly raised his short spear, while Li Zicheng was holding a big spear. The two of them watched the cavalry running by, but did not take action. Then two fat sheep appeared...
"kill!"
Luo Rucai roared.
Just as he pulled the trigger at the same time, the recent cavalry fell off the horse.
"The bandits are here, and those who surrender will be exempted from death!"
He then yelled.
Li Zicheng was the first to jump up and hit a target ahead at full speed. Before the latter could react, he was stunned for a moment when he saw him, and then he tried to turn the horse's head in panic. However, the cavalry in front of him was instinctively taking the horse instinctively because of the fall from the horse in front. The two horses collided. Just as the cavalry raised their guns and aimed at them, Li Zicheng had already arrived. The big gun in his hand stabbed the man's neck in the neck. Almost at the same time, the short gun of the cavalry next to him opened fire. Li Zifeng flashed volley and bullets passed through his ears.
Just as the cavalry drew out another short spear, he also drew out the big spear and stabbed into the horse's legs. The war horse screamed in tragic sound and ran forward regardless of the control of the cavalry on his back.
Li Zicheng grabbed his goal...
"Come down!"
He yelled.
The man screamed and fell.
At this time, the guerrillas behind flocked out.
Although the cavalry responded quickly, it was meaningless to face such a number and was submerged in a blink of an eye. The cavalry who had not arrived in the distance turned around and rushed into the wilderness. They were running for their lives, and they were not entangled.
Li Zicheng then got on the horse.
Not far away, there was a cavalry pulling out a knife to try to kill. He immediately activated the white horse, and rushed forward with a big gun in his hand. The cavalry hurriedly swung his sword to block it. However, these European musket cavalry were not good at fighting. The tactics they trained were muskets, while Li Zicheng was full of martial arts. The big gun in his hand instantly swung the sabre, and then rushed forward and pierced into the cavalry's chest, and then picked out the latter and fell with a scream.
At this time, he pulled him off and the cavalry who was running towards the escape called for help.
Li Zicheng rushed straight over.
The big gun in his hand was rudely pierced on the unlucky guy's leg, and the latter fell to the ground with a scream. Only then did Li Zicheng look back and see that the battle was almost over.
He guessed it right.
The cavalry were suddenly attacked and were also bandit troops, and they instantly lost their fighting spirit. Except for the dozens of cavalry attacked by the guerrillas, the ones behind did not step forward at all and directly urged the horses to turn around and bypass them. Anyway, it is impossible to pursue them here. But if they continue to entangle, the Datong Army who turned against each other will catch up. As for those who were attacked, even if they are well-equipped, it is useless. How many can they shoot?
There are nearly a thousand people here!
In the blink of an eye, they were submerged and then stabbed one by one, including the remaining one of the two fat sheep.
He was being stepped on by Luo Rucai!
"Thief, you thieves!"
He was still yelling.
"A native of Jiangxi, is this official surname?"
Luo Rucai said with a smile.
"I am Xiong Mingyu, deputy chief censor of Nanjing Censorate. How dare you and others insult the ministers!"
Xiong Mingyu on the ground roared angrily.
At this time, he was stepped on his back by Luo Rucai. He had to try hard to raise his head so that his face would not be stuck in the pile of horse manure next to him. It was obvious that this was a very shame for him. Although he was much better than Qian Qianyi who was screaming. In fact, he had been removed from office at this time and was expelled from the gentry of Jiangxi. However, as the representative of Jiangxi gentry, the Datong Army and local gentry all called him this official title. Over time, he forgot the fact that he had been expelled.
This sentence is so true that you can be shouted at this moment.
“Ha, minister!
He also said that we are thieves. Luo Rucai, the second whistle commander of the First Battalion of the Cavalry Brigade of the Bandits Army, was trained in Tongzhou. He had been inspected by the Emperor Wansui three times. He arrested the rebels in the capital. He went south to suppress the rebellion under the order of Emperor Wansui. He said that we are thieves. By the way, the Datong Army is thieves? You, the minister, are you, who are thieves, and you have the face to say that our officials directly under the Silijian are thieves?
Your ability to reverse right and wrong is really amazing.
Brothers, wait for this minister, let’s go to Nanjing to ask for merit from Duke Yingguo!
What about this minister?"
Luo Rucai said.
After saying that, he looked at Qian Qianyi over there.
However, Qian Qianyi no longer cared about him at this time. The poor Shui Tailiang was poked by Li Zicheng with a big gun on his thigh. He was screaming there at this time, and his body was covered in blood and mud. His graceful demeanor had long disappeared.
"Sustain it too!"
Luo Rucai said happily.
Chapter completed!
