As soon as the first team of soldiers left the fort, the villagers of Qinjia Village immediately lit two strings of firecrackers on both sides of the road.

"Smack and fuck!"

The people of Qinjia Village shouted to the service group one by one: "Brothers! We want to win!"

"Master Qianhu! Kill Chuang Ni!"

"We want to win! Mr. Qianhu!"

"Master Qianhu must win!"

Qin Zhao rode on the horse and bowed to the people around him.

Qin Zhao actually has fifty "cavalry". In the past four months, Qin Zhao bought more than fifty war horses and equipment for the soldiers under Zhao Liangce. However, these soldiers had just been in the army for four months and had just been well trained, so they didn't have time to practice their ability to fight immediately. Qin Zhao did not expect this cavalry to fight with the cavalry that broke the enemy.

Not to mention the Tartar horse army, which is based on cavalry and shooting.

The main function of Qin Zhao's fifty cavalry is to strategically increase the force's maneuver.

However, fifty cavalry followed Qin Zhao and rode out of Jinghai Fortress, which looked really fierce, like a powerful army that had been fighting for hundreds of battles.

Qin Zhao bowed his fists to the people, and there were cheers coming from all around him.

"Master Qianhu! Wan Sheng!"

"Master Qianhu! Wan Sheng!"

Ying'er from Qinjia Village held a rattle and jumped and chased in front of the crowd, and suddenly stood up straight. She raised her hands high and shouted in a slight voice: "Brother Zhao! Wan Sheng!"

Qin Zhao laughed when he saw Ying'er's appearance.

He raised his right hand high and said loudly, "I will definitely win!"

Hearing Qin Zhao's confident announcement, the people below were in a state of excitement.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Thousand Victories! Thousand Victories!"

Qin Zhao, with a thousand soldiers and eight hundred baggage men, set up a long snake formation and headed towards Wuchang Mansion where all the soldiers gathered.

...

Wuchang Prefecture was originally Zuo Liangyu's residence.

Zuo Liangyu has regarded the land near Wuchang Prefecture as his exclusive land in recent years, and has imposed scourges, burned, killed, and plundered. However, Zuo Liangyu and the Donglin Party are all ally, and Zuo Liangyu was promoted by the Donglin Party. Zuo Liangyu is so arrogant that he is unruly. The Donglin Party still sang praises to Zuo Liangyu in the court.

He said that he was brave and powerful, and he allowed Zuo Liangyu to plunder his good family's son without any concern.

Zuo Liangyu's troops once expanded to a terrible number of 800,000.

If the military generals who had nothing to do with the Donglin Party gathered so many troops without authorization, the Donglin Party would be scared to death, and the memorial would have been impeached like snowflakes. However, Zuo Liangyu was loyal to the Donglin Party, so there would be no problem in the court.

But the number of 800,000 is also an imaginary number. It is an imaginary number that Zuo Liangyu calculated all the ordinary people he had plundered and counted all the civilians who were shaking flags and shouting. In order to exaggerate his strength, Zuo Liangyu simply emphasized that he had a million soldiers and asked Emperor Hongguang and Ma Shiying in the court to take some time.

Be more at ease and don’t try to deal with the Donglin Party, otherwise one million troops will go east to attack Nanjing.

However, as soon as the treacherous arrived, Zuo Liangyu, who claimed to be a million soldiers, immediately panicked. Li Zicheng had just shown no support in Shaanxi, and there were signs of going south. Zuo Liangyu hurriedly urged the Nanjing court to send troops from all over the world to defend Wuchang.

The Qing Dynasty pursued the rebels, fought against Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu threatened Nanjing.

This is a sad order.

Zuo Liangyu's anxious look at that time was equivalent to publicly admitting that his 800,000 troops were all fake and was to scare the court.

However, the Donglin Party still regarded Zuo Liangyu as a treasure and defended Zuo Liangyu in everything. The party member Huang Shu was arrested by the imperial edict for fighting with Ma Shiying. He fled to Zuo Liangyu's army and was taken in by Zuo Liangyu and refused to return it to the Southern Ming court.

Such cooperation with the Donglin Party will make the heroes in the world look at it as a joke.

Qin Zhao's opportunity to go north this time was that the Donglin Party issued a heroic letter to ask all troops to go to Wuchang to help Zuo Liangyu guard his nest.

Qin Zhao was not in a hurry to leave.

Qin Zhao did not rush to Wuchang to defend Wuchang for Zuo Liangyu. He would rather go slower and wait until all the troops from all the defenders arrived in Huguang, and the overall situation of the defense and war had already decided to arrive. At that time, the Ming army was in great power and the possibility of winning the next battle was relatively high.

Qin Zhao only marched forty miles a day and walked along the official road between Guangdong and Hunan to Wuchang.

In fact, it is already quite a lot to walk forty miles a day. Qin Zhao later traveled in Australia and was very tired after walking on the coastal plain for six hours a day, only forty miles. What's more, the official roads of this era are far from the smooth roads of later generations, and shoes are not as good as those of later generations. Qin Zhao was equipped with a thousand-layer cloth shoe. Under such conditions, if the marching speed exceeds forty miles, it will make people feel very tired.

After leaving for fifty days, Qin Zhao finally arrived at Changsha Prefecture. It was already the fifth day of the second lunar month.

On this day, Qin Zhao was marching to the north when he suddenly saw the three cavalry scouts rushing towards him.

"But the reinforcements of the Jinghai Fortress in Guangdong?"

Qin Zhao asked the cavalry sentry to the central army and asked, "What news does the scout come to spread?"

The scout of the cavalry said loudly: "The rebellion has approached Wuchang, and Wuchang is very dangerous! Please help all the troops and horses!"

Qin Zhao asked in a slight stern question: "Where is the troops of the Zuo Marquis?"

The three scouts of the cavalry looked at each other for a while: "The Zuo Marquis lacked enough troops! All the troops marched quickly and assisted as fast as possible!"

After saying that, the cavalry turned around and galloped in another direction, obviously going to pass messages to another army.

Qin Ning was very excited immediately and said, "Zuo Liangyu has harmed Wuchang for three years. I heard that the women in Wuchang took feces to apply to themselves when they saw Zuo Bing, otherwise they would be forced. Now the left thief's nest will be broken into the wrong end!" He looked around immediately and said, "He wants me to wait to save him!"

Qin Zhao's officers suddenly laughed.

Although these officers did not know the relationship between Qin Zhao and Ma Shiying, they also always felt the discord between Qin Zhao and the Donglin Party. I heard that Zuo Liangyu of the Donglin Party could not hold on, and everyone was very happy.

Qin Ning asked with a smile: "Master Qianhu, do we need to speed up the marches?"

Qin Zhao replied: "This time, the important thing is to annihilate the living forces of the Chuanggui, rather than paying attention to the gains and losses of a city and a place. As long as you can completely annihilate the Chuanggui troops, it is easy to restore Wuchang. Don't be anxious, move forward at the original speed."

When Qin Zhao heard that he was very polite about military affairs, Qin Ning and the cavalry around him lit up his eyes.

The head coach is so well-organized, so of course the soldiers feel more secure.

Everyone laughed, maintained their original speed, and walked towards the north without any rush or slowness.

...

On the seventh day of the third lunar month, Qin Zhao walked to Yueyang Prefecture.
Chapter completed!
