Please ask me to be the emperor

What do you think Wang Pu and Ni Chong are planning? Without him, I can only shout to people’s ears!

Although Wang Pu and Ni Chong were not very capable, they knew the plan of the new Henan Governor Chen Qiyu.

When a letter from Chen Qiyu, the governor of Henan, was sent to Wu Di, the governor of Shanxi, asking for Cao Wenzhao and others, Wu Di gave Chen Qiyu an idea.

Governor Wu Di replied: "It is difficult to control the 'submissive thieves', but they rely on dangerous ears. The former commander-in-chief Cao Wenzhao and generals Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang came from Xuanda, but were blocked to the north of the Yellow River and could not cross. , thus defeat."

"Now Governor Chen is supervising the army heading east. If the 'shun thieves' follow suit and block the Xin'an counties, unable to advance or retreat, what can we do?"

"I heard that 'a wise man will lose something after a thousand worries; a fool will gain something after a thousand worries.' Even though I, Wu Zong, am ignorant, I occasionally gain something. In my opinion, why not personally supervise the army to leave Tongguan from Shaanxi? Order Cao Wen to order the generals to drive Yiluo from Hanoi."

"In this way, the thief is in a dilemma. If you attack the left, the right will come, and if you strike the right, the left will come. If you attack the left and right, both the left and the right will be defeated. If you don't attack the left and right, the thief will be surrounded at the foot of Luoyang City."

Chen Qiyu, the former governor of the five provinces, was not ignorant of military affairs, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with important tasks by Chongzhen.

When he received the letter from Wu Gang, the governor of Shanxi Province, he not only followed the good advice, but also specifically ordered Wang Pu and Ni Chong to lead the Beijing camp without going to Shaanzhou to meet up, but to go down the Luo River and take the "South Wei Road" and the "North Road". The Chinese army of "Xiao Dao" responded to each other from afar.

In this way, the three armies advanced and defeated the "shun thieves" entrenched in Luoyang City in one fell swoop.

It's just that Chen Qiyu thought of Tingmei, but he didn't know that the Lu family had already become the world of the rebels. Zhang Shun, who originally knew nothing, only saw some clues because Ni Chong and Wang Pu of the Beijing camp passed by. This is why Zhang Shun insisted on taking a preemptive strike and personally led the main force to attack the Beijing camp.

Separate attacks and combined attacks are a common method in battles, and "I will only go one way" is also a common response method. What the outcome will be depends on the game played by both parties.

Since the attacking side dares to divide its troops, it naturally wants to ensure that every group of troops will not be eaten by the enemy in one fell swoop.

For example, Governor Chen Qiyu gathered an army of more than 20,000 people for this attack.

Among them, Ni Chong and Wang Pu of the North Route Army's Beijing Camp each led a battalion of 3,000 men and horses, making a total of 6,000 men and horses.

In addition to Cao Wenzhao's 1,700 troops, Mu Ziqiang's 1,500 troops, and Zhang Quanchang's 800 troops, Cao Wenzhao's Division of the Southern Route Army had 2,000 troops seconded from Wu Di, the governor of Shanxi. men, totaling six thousand men and horses;

The Chinese army led by Chen Qiyu had 3,000 men in the first battalion of Biaoying, deputy generals Yang Hualin and Liu Guozhen each led 1,500 men; generals He Renlong and Liu Qian each led 1,000 men, for a total of 8,000 men. people.

According to the information obtained by Governor Chen Qiyu, the "Shun Thieves" should have four to five thousand combatable soldiers under their command. Even according to the seven thousand claimed by Commander-in-Chief Cao Wenzhao, they would not be able to defeat any of the officers and soldiers in a short time.

The Art of War says: "If you attack, there will be insufficient; if you defend, there will be excess." As long as the soldiers use their lives, even if they are attacked by rebels along the way, they can still set up camp and defend themselves, waiting for support from other roads.

Wang Pu and Ni Chong of the Jingying camp suffered a heavy loss as soon as they came into contact with the rebels, losing more than a thousand troops.

They dragged Zhang Shun here, and then quickly sent a messenger to the "Beijiao Road" to inform Governor Chen Qiyu to lead his troops from Shaanzhou through Yanling Pass and bypass the back of Yongning County to cut off the return of the rebels.

So the next day, Wang Pu and Ni Chong led their troops in formation to invite battle, and at the same time sent messengers to the "Bei Xiao Road" to find the governor Chen Qiyu.

Although the Beijing camp suffered heavy losses last night, most of the casualties were infantry, while the cavalry was almost unscathed.

Jingying had nearly two thousand cavalry under his command, so Wang Pu formed two square formations near the river. There are about 1,000 people in a phalanx near the river, about 2,000 people in the middle phalanx, and the remaining 2,000 cavalry are deployed on the side near the mountain to protect the left wing of the Beijing camp.

Zhang Shun did not give up, and formed six small formations to fight against the officers and soldiers. Among them, on the side of the river are the "Lord of Chaos" and Xiao Qinhu tribes, on the front and rear of the Chinese Army are the "Zhishi Wang" and Jiang He tribes, and on the mountain side are He Jin and He Yilong's tribes.

Zhang Sanbai led 1,000 men to defend the city. Wei Zhiyou and Cao Bianjiao, with 1,200 soldiers as surprise troops, were on standby in the city for the time being.

Even though Zhang Shun's men had fewer infantry and cavalry than the Jingying camp, in fact, due to the narrow valley nearby, the officers and soldiers could not take advantage of having more soldiers.

The war drums of "dong dong" sounded, and both sides took heavy steps to press towards the opponent's formation.

The two sides approached to a hundred paces away. As soon as the rebel drum beat, the three thousand soldiers shouted in unison: "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"

For a moment, the sound of killing shook the sky and looked around. Especially after being blocked by Fengyi Mountain in the north of the city, the echoes echoed, which further boosted the momentum of the rebels. The officers and soldiers turned pale when they heard the sound.

It turns out that Zhang Shun discovered this "free skill" after Zhang Shun led his soldiers to shout and suppressed the morale brought by Cao Bianjiao's desperate charge.

After that, he specially asked the soldiers to practice in advance, and they used it today. As expected, the morale of the rebel army increased greatly.

Wang Pu and Ni Chong couldn't help but be surprised. After all, they were good at military affairs. How could they be fooled by such a trivial skill? Therefore, Wang Pu quickly asked his guards to wave the flag and issued an order for the gunmen to shoot.

The Beijing camp was different from other frontier troops in that it was equipped with more cannons. According to the normal command, it was necessary to wait until the enemy was close to a hundred steps before starting to shoot. However, now that the morale of both sides was rising and falling, Wang Pu could not care much anymore.

As a burst of firecrackers sounded like fried beans, the shouts of the rebels suddenly stopped, and gunpowder smoke filled the front of the Beijing camp. Because the distance was too far, the first round of shooting by the officers and soldiers did not achieve many decent results.

However, the military order has been issued, and everything can only be done in accordance with past training. Had there been telegraphs and telephones in this era, it would have been impossible for Wang Pu to have the ability to command the musketeers to fire only one row.

This thing is not a rare item. It has been introduced and practiced in the 20th year of Jiajing. By the 37th year of Jiajing, 10,000 pieces were forged in one go. Ming Dynasty has very mature experience in using it.

The officers and soldiers lined up in five rows, and the rings were released continuously. It's just a pity that the distance between the two sides is too far. The muskets with little accuracy beyond a hundred meters are simply a waste of ammunition in the hands of these people.

After the officers and soldiers fired their muskets for several rounds, the barrels became hot, the smoke filled the air, and they could no longer aim, then Zhang Shun ordered his men to beat the drums again.

This time the drum beat was much faster than before. The rebels quickly started walking, and when they reached seventy or eighty paces, the rebels paused for a moment.
