Watching Li Bei marching taught the commanders a lesson.
Of course, the image of the silent army marching toward the rising sun will also arouse fear in some people.
For example, Song Shouzhen, who was born in the Hungry People's Army.
That night, he persuaded Liu Chengzong: "Don't stay in Yan'an Mansion, go west."
Song Shouzhen's idea was to go west to Qingyang Mansion.
Then go south to Hanzhong, surrounded by mountains, as a foundation.
There were vassal kings, fertile land, a large population, and heavy tax pressure.
It is advisable to enter Guanzhong and enter Sichuan, while retreating can also be avoided into the Qinling Mountains.
Liu Chengzong also thought Hanzhong was good.
It's just that no matter how good Hanzhong is, it doesn't make sense.
There were originally rebels in Hanzhong. In October last year, Wang Daliang launched an uprising in Hanzhong Prefecture and Xing'an Prefecture, raising more than 3,000 people to attack Hanzhong.
At the beginning of this year, Wu Guofu, a veteran general who had defeated Yang Yinglong in Sichuan, led his troops northward, and Liu Yingyu of Shangluo Road also led his troops into Hanzhong.
There was a dead end, and he was beaten by the army with a record of ten battles and ten victories.
Indeed, since ancient times, many heroes and heroes have taken Central Sichuan as their foundation and achieved great success.
But of those heroes who entered Sichuan, few came out.
That can be used as the rear area, but the front line must be Guanzhong and Huguang.
Song Shouzhen's fear was justified.
After Li Bei went to war, it started on the ninth day of the sixth lunar month.
In a few days, the strength of Tiger waist increased rapidly to almost a hundred men per day.
So much so that as soon as mid-June entered, Tiger Yao had already formed a sentry.
And it is a full sentry including the baggage team.
The composition of his subordinates is very strange.
The old mountain bandits who have been lying down for many years, the hungry refugees with no clothes on, and even the Yan'an Guard's flag army.
All this is because of Li Bei.
Li Bei's marching speed was like medicine, and General Wu Qian, who commanded the Yan'an Guard's 800 Banner Army, could not keep up.
On the second day after launching his troops, Li Bei defeated the rebel army of King Hundian in Yanchuan County, 120 miles away, and delivered eighty-six heads.
On the third day, he marched another eighty miles to defeat the general Big Red Wolf of Wang Zuo's command, and sent his head to one hundred and twenty.
On the fifth day, they entered Huanglong Mountain and killed thirteen leaders, big and small.
Huanglong Mountain is the base camp for farmers in northern Shaanxi to resist taxes. As early as the Wanli Period, people took refuge in the mountains with their families.
Last year, Lao Hui, who was a soldier in Yansui Town, set up camp in Huanglong Mountain. Later, Wang Er, Wang Jiayin, and Wang Zuogao all led their troops to Huanglong Mountain.
Li Bei's 200 cavalry were rushing like a hornet's nest. Lao Huihui led his troops to flee all the way. The refugees, hungry people, old bandits and bandits also ran away.
Thousands of peasant armies broke into pieces as they ran.
This group of rebels panicked and fled north across Yan'an Prefecture. On the way, they ran into the Yan'an Guards who were being escorted by General Wu Qian.
It is said that this is Mr. Wu Qian's good fortune, and thieves who have lost their organization are coming to his door.
Unexpectedly, when the two troops collided, the rebel soldiers were frightened and the flag army was also frightened out of their wits.
They didn't even engage in battle, so they dispersed.
The most outrageous thing is that the defeated flag army did not dare or do not want to join the army, so they simply joined the bandits and wandered in small groups on this dry land.
If Li Wanqing goes out for a walk, he can bring back five or six groups of people.
"Yesterday, the latest news was that General Li pursued for 400 miles in two days and nights. He caught up with Lao Huihui at the security guard and chased him all the way to Ningsai Fort."
Yang Yanchang's eyebrows were filled with excitement, and he looked fascinated when he mentioned Li Bei's achievements. He raised his arms and said, "Drive straight to the outside of the wall!"
When Liu Chengzong heard this, he thought, well, he went abroad.
To suppress bandits, it would be great to drive the rebels from Huanglong Mountain into the Mu Us Desert.
This battle lasted less than ten days, but it turned Yan'an Mansion upside down.
The ability shown by the Ming army in the battle reminded Liu Chengzong of the inaccurate three-eyed bludgeoning weapon in Nanjiashan.
The muzzle of the gun is pointed at you, and you don't know whether the gun can hit you.
The Ming army comes to destroy you, but you don’t know whether the Ming army sent out is Li Bei or Wu Qian.
The upper limit is so high that it's like a god descending to earth, and the lower limit is so low that the enemy collapses and you follow him.
Liu Chengzong knew why Li Bei didn't wait for the infantry to act together.
If he cooperates with the infantry, the battle will be difficult to win. Otherwise, the scattered infantry may attack his formation.
"Four hundred miles in two days, I saw his troops marching without many horses. How could they go so fast?"
"Did you see it?"
Yang Yanchang didn't know what Liu Chengzong thought, so he just said: "How else can we go? More and more horses were captured along the way, but I heard that when he arrived in Bao'an County, all the horses in his hands were dead, and he ran after him to Ningsai.
I think it is more strange than General Li that Lao Hui Hui managed to travel four hundred miles in two days, and that he was still alive and ran out from the side wall. "
Yang Yanchang discovered the blind spot.
In fact, when the war has reached this point, there is no need to use weapons.
As long as the pursuers are still chasing, the people in front will have a psychological breakdown. If they are really caught up, they will stretch their necks and get stabbed directly.
"If you say so, yes! Li Bei's two hundred cavalry indeed looked elite and gritted their teeth regardless of the consequences. It's not impossible to travel two hundred miles a day, but what's the matter with the old Huihui people?"
Liu Chengzong kept this name firmly in mind. He raised his thumb and pointed behind him, saying: "I have collected a lot of defeated troops on both sides.
I heard that Lao Huihui wanted to go to Fugu to meet Wang Jiayin, but he didn't know how to get past Yan'an Mansion and ran to the outside of the border wall.
By the way, have you seen the stars in the newspaper? "
Liu Chengzong didn't care much about other people's affairs.
At most, I feel that the people who can still stay with Lao Huihui after this escape are the best in the world in terms of physical strength, willpower, and loyalty.
But Zhang Tianlin was an acquaintance after all, and it would make him feel sad if he died in this battle.
"Crossing the sky star?"
Yang Yanchang frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I have seen the names of all the leaders who were killed, big and small, but there should be no one like this."
Hearing the news, Liu Chengzong felt very comfortable.
After a brief silence, Yang Yanchang suddenly slapped his head: "Hey, I was just talking to you about General Li, and I forgot what I was here for.
Tiger General, you see it's been so chaotic outside lately, and there's nothing to defend in your village. I got a Master Liu Divine Arm Bow from Fucheng, do you want it? "
This guy's expression changes too quickly.
Liu Chengzong couldn't help but wonder if the arms dealer next to him and the Ming Dynasty Shibaihu, who had looked fascinated at Li Bei's pursuit of the traitors a moment ago, were the same person?
"What is Mr. Liu's Divine Arm Bow?"
"During the Jiajing period, Liu Tian and Master Liu, the governor of Shaanxi Province, discovered the previous divine arm bow from Xi'an Mansion and modified it. The power of the bow was 150 kilograms. It could shoot a three-foot-five-inch four-edged arrow that could shoot three hundred paces. .”
After Yang Yanchang finished speaking, he leaned forward and raised two fingers: "As long as two rice grains..."
Before the words were spoken, several people pushed open the courtyard door and strode over.
Liu Chengzong looked up and saw that the leader was Liu Chengzu, accompanied by Cao Yao, Yang Dingrui and others, all of whom looked serious.
As soon as he stood up, he heard Liu Chengzu step forward and say: "Lion, something happened. We have been captured and taken to the county government office."
