Chapter 2082 Zhengzhou is surrounded
"There are slave thieves in Liaodong to restrain the imperial court's troops. The imperial court should not draw troops from Liaodong to Henan!" Hong Chengchou said with a frown.
The elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were all in Henan.
Once the court recklessly transferred the troops stationed in Liaodong to Henan, no matter how powerful the army of the Tiger Banner is, the two armies will not be able to suffer any damage when they fight.
More importantly, without the Ming Dynasty's troops in Liaodong to restrain the slave thieves, the slave thieves would probably go south in large numbers, and the tiger-shaped flag became a wedding dress for the slave thieves.
Li Shuheng said: "Henan is almost gone. Do you think the court still cares about these things? I'm afraid in the eyes of many ministers in the court, the tiger-shaped flag makes them more disgusted than the slave thieves in Liaodong."
"That's true." Hong Chengchou nodded subconsciously.
Then he realized that he had said the wrong thing and smiled awkwardly.
"Okay, I know the virtues of you civil servants. There is a saying that you would rather give to outsiders than to slaves. It is appropriate to describe you civil servants." Li Shuheng said sarcastically.
The tiger flag has its own channels to obtain information.
As a senior executive of the Tiger Banner, he was able to obtain many things that others could not reach, and he had already seen through the hypocrisy of the civil servants in the Ming Dynasty.
"There are all kinds of officials in the court, and there are still good officials." Hong Chengchou defended himself. After all, he was also a civil servant. In the words of the Song Dynasty, he was also a scholar who sang the Donghuamen.
Li Shuheng smiled after hearing this.
The two of them are already working together, and he doesn't want to argue with Hong Chengchou.
After all, he knew who Hong Chengchou was, but he was no different from the civil officials in the Ming Dynasty. The only difference was that he had more skills than those mediocre people in the court.
In the Sishui Town between Xingyang and Zhengzhou, the army of tiger flags was stationed and camped here.
"Shi Zheng, Li Futai sent someone to send a document." Staff Officer Qin Rong walked into the room with a document in his hand and came to Chen Xunping.
He handed the documents in his hand to Chen Xunping.
"Li Futai? Which Li Futai?" Chen Xunping was stunned when he heard Li Futai's name, but his hand still reached out to receive the document handed over to the other party.
Qin Rong said: "Li Futai is the former Deputy Director Li. He just came to Henan not long ago, and you forgot so quickly."
"Oh, oh, oh, I remembered it." Chen Xunping slapped his forehead with his hand and said, "The deputy director is the first governor of our tiger flag. I have been thinking about how to take Zhengzhou in the past two days.
Forgot this."
"Okay, look at what Li Fu said under the stage!" Qin Rong, who handed out the document, picked up the kettle beside him and stored some hot water in the cups of himself and Chen Xunping.
Chen Xunping on the other side opened the document and took it to his eyes and looked it out.
There were not many words written on the document, and he soon finished reading the contents.
"What did Li Futai say?" Qin Rong sat in an empty seat next to Chen Xunping with a water cup.
Chen Xunping put down the document in his hand, frowned and said, "Li Futai thinks we are too slow, so let's speed up and take Zhengzhou."
"Then speed up the marching, and we will be able to reach the city of Zhengzhou tomorrow." Qin Rong said disapprovingly.
Sishui Town is not far from Zhengzhou. If the marching speed has been slower in the past two days, we could have arrived at the city of Zhengzhou today.
Chen Xunping pursed his lips, nodded helplessly, and said, "If someone else comes to urge me, I can ignore it, but this Li Futai comes to urge me, I can't take it seriously!"
"This shows that the lord knows you and knows how to pinch your seven inches in one stroke." Qin Rong joked with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Xunping smiled bitterly and said, "No wonder the lord brought Li Futai to Henan to take charge. This is a sword of the emperor hanging over my head. I don't have to worry about not doing things with care."
"Actually, I think it's nothing wrong to attack Zhengzhou quickly. Yang He and Henan's troops are all in Zhengzhou. As long as we take down Zhengzhou and deal with Yang He and the army around him, we will be smooth all the way in Henan and will never encounter it again
What a decent resistance?" Qin Rong said.
Chen Xun spread his hands evenly and said, "Since you, the great staff officer, have said that, what else can I say? Come on!"
He shouted outside the door.
As the sound fell, the messenger walked in from outside the door.
Chen Xunping said to him: "Send orders to the battalions and make rice one hour in advance tomorrow, go!"
"Yes." The messenger agreed and turned around and left the room.
Zhengzhou City, dozens of miles away from Sishui Town.
Yang He stood on the top of the city, looking at the extra black armored cavalry outside the city, his face gloomy.
The black-armored cavalry outside the city were all black cavalry of the rebels. He did not expect the rebels to chase Zhengzhou so quickly.
"Supervisor, the city wall is too cold, so it's better to go back to the yamen first." Zhengzhou magistrate who was following him persuaded.
Standing at the height of the city wall, the northwest wind poured into the collar, and many officials in Zhengzhou were frozen so hard that they stomped their feet.
Yang He tightened the cloak on his body and said, "Okay, go back first."
The group returned to the yamen in the city.
Now the magistrate's yamen has become the White Tiger Hall in the army.
Yang He was in a high position alone, with a group of military generals on the left, and a group of civil servants such as Zhengzhou Prefecture on the right.
"This Han general still seems to have some skills." Mantu watched a group of desperate Han troops rush out of the camp, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to several subordinates around him, "Bring people with me and follow me with you
.”
He didn't care whether the Han army could kill the enemies who retreated to the camp.
These Han troops were originally used to consume the enemy's power, so he and the remaining flag soldiers had the opportunity to take advantage of the enemy's chance to attract most of the attention of the Han army and kill them in one fell swoop.
As long as the enemy cannot exert the power of the firearm, he is confident that he can shoot all Nikan outside the camp with a knife.
As long as he can rush to Nikan, he believes that the final victory belongs to Dajin.
As soon as the Han army left the camp, it immediately became the target of artillery attack.
However, the tiger flag brought not many cannons, and the damage to the Han army was limited.
Even so, the Han army almost defeated several times, but the Eight Banners soldiers who followed behind stopped the Han army that wanted to flee and forced the Han army to continue to rush forward.
Even if you die, these Han soldiers will die on the way to block the Eight Banners soldiers who followed behind.
The Han army was more and more casualties, but the line set up by the tiger flag was getting closer and closer, and it was even less than a hundred steps away.
But there were four or five hundred Han troops left, and there were only a few dozen Han troops killed and injured under the gun at most, less than a hundred.
The Mantu, who was following the Han army, showed joy.
