Chapter 120 Xuzhou

"So the supervisors from Xiangyang have all arrived in Yuzhou?"

After returning from the report, Ying Yi heard the news and couldn't help but smile: "Sun Xiucai, did you ask me to take the message?"

"Back to my lord, Lord Sun said that my lord may win one or two more battles." Ye Bu, who reported the news, said: "Zheng County Zun also taught Uncle Huai to give this reminder."

After hearing this, Ying Yi suddenly knew something in his heart: "Go down."

After dismissing the messenger, Ying Yi summoned his subordinate generals and battalion generals: "We will train for another five days, and then we will attack the Xuzhou traitors. Before that, Zhang Shi, you are responsible for finding out the situation of the Xuzhou traitors."

"Yes, lord." Zhang Shi stood up immediately.

Ying Yi then said to the other generals: "After going down, you will be trained strictly. It is said that after three days of separation, you will see each other with admiration. This time the thieves are no better than Li Yan before. They are not old, weak, sick or disabled. After five days, let me see your combat effectiveness." .”

"Here!"

All the generals were gearing up and full of fighting spirit.

Not to mention troop training, Zhang Shi came to report one day later.

"My lord, there are more than 30,000 thieves in Xuzhou, and the leader of the thieves is Cao Cao Luo Rucai." Zhang Shi said: "The general has captured several thieves under Luo Rucai and questioned them thoroughly."

After hearing this, Ying Yi pondered for a moment: "It turns out to be Luo Rucai."

Luo Rucai was also a living king of hell, and he loved killing people the most, so he was nicknamed Cao Cao. Just because Cao Cao in the late Han Dynasty once massacred the city and killed people, he took it upon himself to do so.

These thieves on the left and right are not good people. The so-called snakes and rats are all beasts.

Cao Cao killed people and massacred the city, but he always kept the people at peace. Just Luo Rucai, what the hell? Do you dare to call yourself Cao Cao? It's really shameless.

There are more than 30,000 thieves, which is a lot of people. But Ying Yi was not afraid either. Be a whetstone, no more, no less. If the troops under your command are unable to do so, just take action yourself.

"If the Xuzhou traitor is not Luo Rucai, I will have to think carefully. Since it is him, I can attack him without any hindrance." Ying Yi made a decision in his heart.

In the past few days, he had added points twice in a row, once for his body and once for his soul. He had consumed 1360 points of true soul, increasing his body to 8 and his soul to 4. His movements were already extraordinary, his inspiration was keen and he was aware of the crisis. Luo Rucai only had 30,000 soldiers and horses. After all, they were just thieves. They had the power of a wave but no military spirit and morale. It's not difficult to break.

More importantly, Luo Rucai and Li Chuang are not one and the same.

Ying Yi seemed to remember that Luo Rucai was killed by Li Zicheng.

In this way, even if Ying Yi defeated Luo Rucai, it would not damage Li Zicheng's humerus, and Li Zicheng would not be able to jump. With his short-sightedness, he might still be secretly happy.

After all, the intruders had hundreds of thousands of people under their command, and millions of refugees who followed them. However, Ying Yi only had more than 7,000 people in Xiangcheng County. The difference is more than a hundred times. He had to fight carefully to avoid irritating the intruder too much, causing the intruder to give up on opening the seal and instead turn around and strangle him with all his strength.

"A blunt knife grinds the flesh, eroding the power of the intruder bit by bit, and taking away his true spirit to strengthen our army. One will fade and the other will increase. When the time comes, the intruder will be nothing more than a chicken and a dog, so there is nothing to worry about."

In a moment of thought, Ying Yi had already given the increased number of Humanity Qi to the Humanity Platform, so that the number of people that could be accommodated on the Humanity List increased again, to 300, all of whom were military lieutenants.

In other words, now there are 1,200 people under Ying Yi in Xiangcheng who are on the Humanity List and can receive the gift of true spirits.

As long as such battles continue, as the number of human beings increases, the number of people on the Humanity List will increase. If more than 7,000 people are on the list, and they can all receive the gift of Ying Yi's true spirit, then they will grow up. Extremely fast, he became a powerful force that shocked the world in a short period of time.

Kaifeng is particularly important, so all the places on the Humanity List are here. The 2,500 people under Zhou Li's command stationed in Wuyang are not concerned for the time being.

However, Zhou Li's department is not without important responsibilities. Ying Yi knew very well that there were still a large number of bandits in Huainan - Gezuo Fifth Battalion and Zhang Xianzhong, both of whom were in Huainan. He had this in mind when he placed Zhou Li's troops in Wuyang.

Things have to be prioritized. For the time being, except for Zhou Li and a few other generals who are on the Humanity Ranking, the rest of Zhou Li's subordinates are not in the first rank of Ying Yi.

Ying Yi has his own choices for those who can be on the list. The previous few hundred households in Ye County were increased or decreased after several battles, and all the remaining 400 people were on the list. Next is the Liangjiazi recruited in Crescent Valley. As for those who were later selected from the prisoners, they were not qualified enough.

This time, another 300 soldiers were added to the list, and naturally there was another wave of enthusiasm among the army. When they heard that the war would begin in five days, everyone wanted to go to Xuzhou with swords and guns to kill the thieves.

Military morale is available.

In the following days, Zhang Shi's Ye Bushou revealed all the details of Luo Rucai in Xuzhou. Luo Rucai's more than 30,000 troops were all hidden in the city, but the thieves were loose and often went out of the city to hunt for wild food. These people were targeted by Zhang Shi's Ye Bushou, who came out to arrest them one by one.

In this way, most of the conditions in the city are under Ying Yi's control.

The Xuzhou rebels were led by Luo Rucai. Among them, Luo Rucai's old camp had less than three thousand people. After Luo Rucai's defeat in Huguang, the old camp has not yet been completed. Except for the nearly 3,000 old camp, the remaining bandits are divided into two levels. Some of them, about 8,000 people, were brought over from Huguang by Luo Rucai and are experienced bandits. The remaining 20,000 thieves were all forcibly recruited by Luo Rucai from the subordinate refugees in Kaifeng these days.

In other words, the rabble.

After Luo Rucai led his troops to Xuzhou, he did not even repair the dilapidated city walls of Xuzhou. He did nothing but hide in the city all day eating, drinking, having fun, and abusing women.

Such a character can actually jump. It can only be said that the Ming Dynasty is destined to overthrow, and it can only be said that there are no heroes.

He probably thought that Yingyi Xiangcheng only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, but he was afraid of his tens of thousands of soldiers and did not dare to attack him.

"Call all officers above the battalion general."

Ying Yi waved his hand.

Not long after, twelve battalion generals from three divisions and two subordinate generals all arrived.

"How have you been training these days?"

Ying Yi asked with a smile.

He has been patrolling every day these days, so he naturally knows how the army is training. I just want to hear the generals' own opinions.

All generals never neglect their duties.

Ying Yi nodded: "Tomorrow is the fifth day, follow my orders."

"Tomorrow we will prepare food at Mao hour, gather at Chen hour, and set out at the quarter of Chen hour. With Zheng Wu as the vanguard, we will attack Xuzhou."

"Here!"

A night of silence.

The next day, the sky was gloomy. There is no sun these days, but there is no rain either. It just became more and more gloomy, as if it was going to pour down the next moment.

In Xuzhou, at the dilapidated city gate, some thieves were bored, sitting slumped or chatting like beggars. There was no trace of the temperament of an army. ?

At this moment, the ground shook slightly.

The thief didn't take it seriously at first, but it wasn't until he saw the dark horse team rushing towards him on the official road in the distance that he panicked and screamed. There was chaos at the city gate.

"Cavalry battalion, kill me!"

The dull horseshoes smashed everything into pieces, and the entire Xuzhou City, starting from the city gate, created a huge chain reaction like dominoes.

In a large house that had been renovated in the city, Luo Ru, who was wearing a single coat and drinking wine, realized it later. Only when he heard the noise did someone hurriedly come to report it.
