On the official road leading to the capital, an army was walking in a dusty manner. Most of the soldiers in this army were wrapped in white cloth scarves. They wore mourning robes outside the cloth armor and tied with hemp ropes around their waists. However, most of the soldiers did not wear mourning clothes and only tied them on their heads.

A strip of white cloth and a hemp rope tied around the waist.

In the team, there were several big flags with the word "Ming" written on them, and hundreds of big flags with the word "Wu" written on them. These soldiers marching with weapons and big flags were the so-called "Guan Ning Army".

Wu Sangui has been staying in Shanhaiguan for the past few days since he led his army south. Although the vanguard reached Lulong, they did not go further west. Instead, they sent many spies to inquire about the movements of the bandits. After learning that Liu Zongmin had returned to the capital, he was in Baodi area.

After the thieves went their separate ways, Wu Sangui realized that his opportunity had come.

One hundred thousand thieves were scattered in Pinggu, Sanhe, Baodi, and Ninghe areas. Originally they were all under the command of Liu Zongmin, but now they are fighting independently. Wu Sangui, who was excited, knew that if he could defeat the enemy, then Wu Sangui would definitely win.

He will become a hero of the Ming Dynasty, and then the whole world will know how loyal and patriotic he is.

With such a mood, he immediately sent his general Zhang Guozhu to lead 20,000 horses to attack Baodi, while he himself led 10,000 cavalry to attack Sanhe under the banner of "avenging his father."

In another time and space, he also used this banner, and even used this banner when the Manqing entered the customs. But right now, this banner is still the same. As for in another world, but

It's just to fool the world.

According to Wu Sangui's plan, he would first severely inflict heavy losses on the 30,000 bandits led by Yuan Yao from Sanhe.

Yuan Yao was one of the eighteen cavalrymen who entered Shangluo Mountain with Li Zicheng, and he was also Li Zicheng's confidant. Although he was not a famous general among the Shun army, he was still a battle-experienced leader.

In the past few years, because the battles had been so smooth, he looked down on the officers and soldiers from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, those officers and soldiers were just city guards at best, and they were basically novices when it came to fighting in the field.

Perhaps it was because of his contempt for the officers and soldiers that he set up the camp outside Sanhe City. In fact, this was also for the convenience of command. Although these days, everyone is thinking about the reward after entering the capital and does not reward the emperor.

Dissatisfied? But fortunately, everyone is in good spirits. From time to time, there are sounds of laughter and curses at each other in the camp.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Yuan Zhi's ability. A few days ago, when the brothers were arguing about pay, he squinted his eyes with a fierce light and said to himself:

"We need wages, but we don't have money. How can the big dogs around here not have money?"

So, Yuan Yao sent out soldiers to loot the people in the county and surrounding towns from house to house. In this way, not only did he have money to pay the army, he had food to use as military rations, and he even had women to use.

Laojun, women are naturally the wives and daughters of wealthy families and common people.

Meeting a general who is so considerate of everyone's hard work? These thieves naturally stopped making noises. These little days have been much more comfortable in the past. In the camp, there are groups of more than a dozen or dozens of people scattered randomly around.

In the camp, maybe chatting and spanking? Or punching and drinking? Or walking into a red tent? Catching women to have sex wildly.

Of course, Yuan Yao did not treat him badly. Several newly captured women would be sent to his big tent every day, and they were all very beautiful women.

Be the groom every night, and more than once. And the brides include ladies from big families and ladies from small families. It can be said that they have everything.

Fortunately, he was in good health, otherwise he might have died suddenly in the army because of Lian Yushu. But even so, everyone just laughed it off as a joke. After all, there were a few old brothers who died because of "Lian Yu".

"Several women" died on women's bellies...

While the camp of the bandits was making such a fuss, in the distant wilderness, under a few ownerless wild horses, lay the corpses of several compliant cavalrymen. Wu Liu, who was riding on the horse, snapped his fingers and gave instructions.

"Put on their clothes and clean up the outposts along the way."

Soon, everyone changed into Shunjun's robes. In fact, Shunjun's robes were not fixed at all. My aunt didn't say what the many people who had been plundered were wearing. Even the old soldiers wore whatever they grabbed.

Of course, there are also many elites who wear blue cloth robes and felt Fan Yangli on their heads.

In this way, this group of cavalry quickly dispersed and began to kill outposts along the way. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Army was not inferior to that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. As the last pillar of the Ming Empire in history, they were the last soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong.

On the defensive line, even in a field battle with Manchu and Qing elites, the outcome would be 50-50.

Compared with the bandits, these battle-hardened Guan Ning troops had the upper hand from the beginning. When attacking, they first sent out rangers disguised as enemy soldiers, and then wiped out the outposts. These were the most common attacks with the Manchus in the past.

What the Manchus were good at was that they often raided the Ming army by clearing out outposts and then catching the Ming army by surprise.

I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs walking.

Now Guan Ning's army is just following the same example, but to their surprise, the wandering sentries deployed by the bandits are pitiful. If it weren't for the fact that they had inquired many times before, Yuan San would really think that the other party was

Deliberately luring the enemy to attack.

But the actual reason is that the thieves don't have much awareness of wandering sentries at all. It may even be that, in their view, the officers and soldiers are novices and they don't dare to take the initiative to attack. It's no wonder, after all, they have all been beaten by what they encountered before.

The officers and soldiers were "spoiled". In a battle, as long as the whole army rushes forward and then the cavalry rushes on the flanks, the officers and soldiers will be killed.

We encounter such opponents one after another. These thieves are highly disciplined in themselves. Of course, it is impossible to carefully send out a large number of outposts every day to guard everywhere. If you have this skill, it is better to plunder a few large households and rob more.

There are several little ladies.

But they did not expect that in the woods near the camp, Wu Liuzheng was looking at the bandit camp with cold eyes. Two corpses of bandits were lying in front of his feet. These were the sentries of the bandits. Guan Ning, who had been fighting in Liaodong for many years

The army is cruel to the enemy. In order to ask for the password, Wu Liu directly had one of the bandits castrated. The other bandit was immediately frightened and obediently handed over the password. But even so, he only got

With a ferocious laugh, two knives killed the two thieves.

At least this way you can die happily!

"Let's go into the camp!"

After receiving the password, Wu Liu led dozens of riders into the camp with a swagger and said the password. No one expected that they were so bold.

After entering the camp, Wu Liu and others began to look for targets in the camp.

Suddenly I heard a rumbling sound in the distance.

"What is that?" A bandit pointed at a fast-moving "dark cloud" in the distance.

"It's... they're officers and soldiers!" A bandit with good eyesight exclaimed: "That's the cavalry of officers and soldiers!"

Five thousand cavalry galloped on the endless plains. Each cavalry wore an iron helmet with red tassels flying high on their heads. They were lined with fiery red cotton armor and dark armor with iron leaves inside.

Wearing black armor that exudes chilliness, one glance at him and he immediately felt an icy chill coming over him.

Where did this cavalry come from? How could it be so scary!

When the bandits appeared in the sight of the Guan Ning Army cavalry, they took out their cold lances from their horse holsters and pointed them at the frightened bandits, and accelerated their attack like a tide.

"Hurry up and meet the enemy!" A rogue general roared tremblingly.

Large heavy horseshoes stepped on the dry ground, making a dull roar, which made the bandits even more panicked and got into a mess. While the camp was in chaos, no one noticed that someone was moving several vehicles into a mess.

The cart was pushed to the wall of the camp.

It was Yuan San and others who had sneaked into the camp earlier. They got the gunpowder from the gunpowder magazine and loaded it on the car to blow up the camp wall.

Yuan Yao walked out of the tent with his trousers held up. Hearing the deafening noise, he broke out in a cold sweat. Before he could figure out how to deal with it, the cavalrymen rushed over mercilessly.

It was at this time that suddenly several loud noises and violent explosions came from the camp, shocking everyone, including Yuan Zhi, who looked around at a loss.
