In the main tent of the Ming army's camp, Yang Hezheng, the governor of the three sides, and Gao Qiqian, the supervisor, competed for control of the army.
Yang He looked angry and scolded Gao Qiqian for being shameless.
Gao Qiqian held Shang Fang's sword and asked Yang He to hand over the command of the army.
They were in a stalemate, and other Ming generals were watching, and no one dared to take sides.
Suddenly there was a fierce argument outside the main tent.
Jiang Sheng, the commander-in-chief of Yansui, came angrily outside the main tent with his soldiers.
He is now very embarrassed, his hair is disheveled, and his body is covered in blood.
He wanted to enter the main tent, but was stopped by the guards outside.
"I am Jiang Sheng, the commander-in-chief of Yansui. I want to meet with the Governor, but you dare to stop me."
Jiang Sheng immediately led his own soldiers and pushed aside those who intercepted him.
He took several soldiers with him and walked into the main tent.
Jiang Sheng entered the main account and immediately knelt down and kowtowed violently, crying at the same time:
"My Lord Governor, you are incompetent in your position.
The guns of the thieves in yellow are too sharp. We don't have muskets and cannons, so there is no way to fight them.
I tried all my strength, but still couldn't stop the thief in yellow.
Only I and more than a hundred soldiers escaped back, the others were surrounded by thieves in yellow clothes, and they were in danger."
When Yang He heard the bad news, he was shocked and said in disbelief:
"What? You had more than 17,000 troops, and all of them were destroyed.
I also received a military report yesterday about your attack on Baoji County.
At that time, it was said that Baoji County would be captured soon.
Only half a day passed before the entire army was wiped out.
Jiang Sheng, you are too stupid. There is no commander-in-chief as stupid as you.
There are more than 10,000 pigs, and they can't catch them all if you let them go. This is 17,000 people with knives."
While speaking, Yang He smashed the official seal in his hand towards Yansui General Soldier Jiang Sheng.
Yang He pointed at Gao Qiqian at the same time and reprimanded loudly: "It's all you, a dead eunuch who can't see the situation clearly, who is fighting for power at this moment.
This leads to a breakdown in command of the army. If we can detect it in time, we can go over and provide support.
Maybe we can save a lot of people."
You Shilu saw that Jiang Sheng's forehead was smashed and bleeding.
He also felt sorry for Jiang Sheng, who was good at specializing in business.
But his ability to lead troops in battle is still there, and his servants are also very strong.
He was defeated by the thief in yellow in only half a day.
It can be seen that the strength of the thief in yellow is really very powerful.
That's where they made these strange stone houses.
Four days have passed and we haven't made any progress yet, but we can still see some clues.
You Shilu suddenly became pessimistic about the prospects of this war.
Gao Qiqian's sharp voice sounded: "You are such an incompetent person and you still blame me.
I don't blame General Jiang. It's because you, Yang He, are incompetent in commanding the army and are still giving blind orders.
The art of war says that siege a city tenfold, and the strength of General Jiang Sheng and the yellow-robed thieves in Baoji County were roughly the same.
Yang He, but you sent him to besiege the city. He lost a lot of troops and horses during the siege, so the thieves in yellow took advantage of it.
You should bear the main responsibility."
Many Ming generals present looked at Gao Qiqian, the supervisor, and Yang He, the governor of the three sides, and they began to fight for power again because of this incident.
They are all like wooden people, no one dares to interrupt.
In this situation, the team cannot be a team. Once the team fails, it will be the end of the family.
Gao Qiqian took out Shang Fang's sword and said loudly: "On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I temporarily revoke Governor Yang He's right to command the troops, and I will personally command the troops.
General Jiang Sheng was just following Yang He's orders, he made no big mistake."
Gao Qiqian signaled Jiang Sheng with his eyes, the meaning was obvious.
Listening to his words will exonerate Jiang Sheng.
Jiang He immediately understood that he was going to join Gao Qiqian.
If Yang He continues to lead the army, his end will be very tragic and he must bear responsibility for the defeat.
Jiang Sheng took action directly with his own soldiers and controlled Yang He, the governor of the three sides.
Jiang Sheng also asked the soldiers outside to arrest all Yang He's cronies.
The Ming Dynasty generals present looked at Gao Qiqian taking out Shang Fang's sword, ready to kill anyone at any time, and no one dared to object.
Gao Qiqian held Shang Fang's sword and said: "Everyone is working for His Majesty the Emperor and to make contributions.
I hope you will work hard to fight this battle well.
Starting from tomorrow, I will assign you to attack the stone house of the yellow thief based on your strength.
Even if you give me all your troops, you must take them down.
If anyone fails to complete the task, I will kill him directly."
Gao Qiqian showed the ruthlessness of the eunuch and directly issued tasks to the Ming generals.
Everyone must complete their tasks, and it is simply impossible to preserve their strength.
In order to seize military power, Gao Qiqian kept the generals in the main tent and asked Jiang Sheng to go out and control the situation.
At night, Jiang Sheng returned to the main tent and told Gao Qiqian that he had the situation under control.
Only after Gao Qiqian did he let the generals leave.
You Shilu walked out of the main tent with a heavy heart.
At this moment, there is still a fight for power and profit.
He suddenly saw red and green fireworks rising over the fort and Baoji County.
When Jiang Sheng saw this scene, he took a sip.
"I have gathered another army, and I will make sure to make the thief in yellow look good tomorrow.
They defeated me and set off fireworks to celebrate, which is so disrespectful."
Jiang Sheng's actions just now have already brought Yang He's trusted generals under control and brought their troops under his command.
When he saw the thief in yellow doing this, his lungs almost exploded with anger.
You Shilu felt that the thief in yellow was not just setting off fireworks to celebrate.
…
Li Fengming translated the message from Su Xiong.
He slammed the table and said excitedly: "Commander Su, this is simply great. We have won a great victory that can be recorded in the military record.
More than 17,000 Ming officers and soldiers were wiped out, and we only suffered more than 500 casualties.
They say that the Jiannu army is completely invincible, but compared to the Jiannu army, we are about the same."
Su He stared at the military map, lost in thought.
"Mr. Li, there are only three general soldiers from the Ming Dynasty's border army.
Based on the intelligence and the situation of the past few days.
General Ding Deyao commanded the artillery, which was still on the other side of the Wei River, attacking our fort.
General You Shilu was the main force attacking the bunker in the past few days, and they suffered heavy casualties.
General Jiang Sheng's troops have been completely wiped out by Su Xiong.
In this way, the main force of the Ming army's border troops has been almost consumed by us, and only some local guards are left."
"That's true." Li Fengming said in surprise, "Commander Su wants to counterattack."
"That's right, the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers would never have imagined that we could walk out of the bunker and attack them proactively.
This is when they are most relaxed.
If it drags on any longer, it will become a war of attrition.
Once the imperial court transfers Guan Ning's army, we will be in big trouble."
In Su He's memory, around this time, Jiannu would retreat.
The strongest Guan Ning army in the Ming Dynasty will be able to free up his hands.
The most important point also prompted Su He's determination to order a counterattack.
He received a report from Wang Zhongce that Hanzhong Mansion had insufficient food reserves and could only support the army for another three months.
If military rations are transported later, the people of Hanzhong Prefecture will run the risk of running out of food.
Su He immediately passed the signal flare and contacted Su Xiong who was far away in Baoji County.
Make a plan for counterattack.
…
Zhang Yuliang led the artillery brigade and came out of Baoji County while it was dark.
The mule dragged the 110 medium-sized artillery gun and advanced rapidly on the cement road.
Next to the artillery brigade, there were three brigades of soldiers advancing in the dark.
Niu Siyuan on the Weihe River Defense Line also organized artillery and dismantled the 110 medium-sized artillery pieces on the fort.
Su Hu asked most of the soldiers to go to bed, leaving only one regiment of soldiers on duty.
Su He stayed up all night and kept observing the northern sky.
At dawn, he was relieved when he saw no signal flares to cancel the attack.
Su He saw a green signal flare rising into the sky from the north.
He knew that Su Xiong was commanding the army and had arrived at the designated position.
"fire."
Su He gave the order to fire.
The guard lit a nearby flare.
The signal flare rose into the sky, making a loud noise and glowing green.
After a night of preparation, Niu Siyuan has transported the 110 medium-sized artillery to the front of the bunker.
In front of the artillery, there was already a brigade of soldiers, ready to launch an attack.
Niu Siyuan saw the signal flare rising into the sky and immediately ordered the artillery to fire.
The huge iron ball was thrown towards the officers and soldiers camp.
Su Hu also ordered his soldiers to be prepared and ready to attack at any time.
at the same time.
The cannon has been transported to Zhang Yuliang in the north of the Ming Dynasty camp through the cement road.
After seeing the signal flare rising into the sky, he immediately ordered the cannon to fire.
Su Xiong also asked the three prepared brigades of soldiers to move towards the Daming military camp, ready to launch an attack at any time.
…
You Shilu kept going back and forth last night and never slept well.
It is at dawn, when the man is most sleepy, that he closes his eyes.
He had just fallen asleep when he suddenly heard the sound of a huge cannon.
