The defeat of the Ming army was a certainty, and the battle was basically worthless. Li Jiuzheng was even a little disappointed, feeling that the battle was really unsatisfactory.
This Ming army is trying to block it at least. It looks like such a coward, which makes people angry just looking at it. Does the Ming Dynasty have no soldiers who can fight except our Liao soldiers? If everyone is such a waste
, that young emperor had better move his butt as soon as possible and give up the throne.
"You're all handsome, let's go back to camp and throw a few more shots after we're done?"
The person who spoke was Geng Zhongyi, who had just been appointed as the chief military officer and the former commander of the right battalion of the Dengzhou Infantry Army, Geng Zhongming’s cousin. Like Li Jiucheng, this man was also a gambler. He usually had two spare coins in his hand, so he would join forces with the sergeants to play games.
As soon as I saw that the battle was fought easily, the cavalry could catch up for a while, and then they could withdraw their troops. I felt itchy in my heart, and seeing that Li Jiucheng was in a good mood, I decided to play a few games in the evening.
Even after becoming Dushuai, Li Jiucheng did not change his gambler nature. When this gambler heard that money was being played, he and the old bachelor stuffed a big girl under the bed in the middle of the night. His heart suddenly became hot. He laughed and said: "Just right.
We have been surrounding Laizhou for some time, and I have been thinking about big things, and my men are really itching. Well, when Ying Yuan comes back, we will withdraw our troops, and tonight, we will have a good time with your kid." [
Having money to gamble and winning the battle, Li Jiucheng was in a good mood after the previous days of unsuccessful siege of the city. He was able to use the tens of thousands of taels of silver given by the governor to buy horses as a gambling capital, and he saw that he had no fear in his heart.
What? Now that he has become the marshal of the capital and has won successive battles, he will naturally not pay attention to the gang of turtles in Laizhou City. These gang of turtles will disturb the camp at night. What trouble will they really cause?
Come on, hey, that's really not possible.
When Li Jiucheng agreed, Geng Zhongyi immediately smiled, pinched his fingers, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's so handsome, don't blame me for being cruel, brother."
"Just you?" Li Jiucheng raised his eyebrows and said with disdain: "You want to beat me too, I think you should stop thinking about it as soon as possible. Ask someone, you are handsome and I have never lost when I am playing with money.
!”
"Du Shuai, your luck won't be much better, otherwise you wouldn't have thrown Governor Sun's tens of thousands of taels of silver into the northwest, hehe." Geng Zhongyi didn't pay attention to his words because Li Jiucheng was the marshal of the capital, and actually put Li Jiucheng in the northwest.
That bad thing was immediately brought out.
Li Jiucheng was not annoyed by being poked by his subordinates in front of his face. He knew very well that he was the marshal because Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming promoted him. They thought he was old and made him the leader. In fact, the two of them had nothing to worry about.
Well-intentioned, it would be easy to say if we keep winning the battle, but if we lose, he, Li Jiucheng, will be the first person the court wants to kill. Who makes him the leader of the rebels? He can't even take his name!
Most of the Liao soldiers in Dongjiang are following the lead of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming. Li Jiucheng is not easy to talk to. Geng Zhongyi was the captain when he was in the right battalion of the infantry. He Li Jiucheng is just a thousand generals. Moreover, the three thousand Liao soldiers under Geng Zhongyi are the ones he is heading west this time.
He was the main force of the expedition and relied on him to fight the war. Therefore, no matter how much Geng Zhongyi said, Li Jiucheng would not blame him. What's more, he was really easy-going and did not pay attention to these false etiquette. He just lived happily.
.
He laughed and cursed: "I didn't lose all Master Sun's money, how could you guys be as happy as you are today?"
"That's right, that's right, if you weren't so handsome, brother, I would still be blowing the sea breeze in Dengzhou right now." Geng Zhongyi laughed, raised his head and looked forward, and found something wrong. After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Said: "Why did the cavalry retreat?"
"Retreating?" Li Jiucheng quickly picked up the telescope and looked at it, and found that the cavalry was really running back.
"Is it done? This kid Ying Yuan has mastered it now. This move is too fast." Geng Zhongyi thought that the Ming troops had been wiped out by Li Ying Yuan's cavalry.
Li Jiucheng was staring straight into the telescope. The more he looked at it, the more wrong his expression became. Seeing this, Geng Zhongyi suddenly wondered: Could something happen?
Before he could ask, Li Jiucheng suddenly put down his telescope and shouted urgently at the artillery camp: "Fire the artillery, fire the artillery quickly!"
The gunners were all sitting on the ground now, and the officers were all gathered around talking about happy things about girls. Suddenly they heard the commander shouting to fire off the cannons, and they were all startled. They looked back at Li Jiucheng inexplicably, with eyes that seemed to be asking
The Ming army has been defeated, so why should they use artillery?
Seeing that his subordinates were still stunned, Li Jiucheng cursed angrily: "Are you all fucking deaf? I told you to fire off the cannons, fire off the cannons quickly!"
"Ah? Ah!"
Seeing that Du Shuai's face was not right, the officers quickly reacted and the gunners also jumped up and rushed to the gun emplacement to prepare to fire.
Geng Zhongyi didn't need a telescope to see what was happening - the cavalry that was originally chasing the Ming army was being chased back by the Ming army's cavalry!
Does this Ming army have cavalry? Geng Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Li Jiucheng's hand that was about to wave it down and said urgently: "You are handsome, this cannon can't hit!"
"Why can't we fight? If we don't fight, the Ming army will come to us!" Li Jiucheng was a little anxious.[
Geng Zhongyi pointed forward: "Ying Yuan hasn't come back yet! Our brothers are all over there. If we start fighting here, our people will be doomed!"
Hearing what he said, Li Jiucheng suddenly remembered that his son was still leading the cavalry over there. If this cannon were fired, it would not distinguish between you and me. It would really blow up his son to death. Isn't Li Jiucheng himself?
Cutting off the incense is a sin!
The Ming army's cavalry chased the cavalry in a hurry, biting the cavalry tightly. Li Jiucheng did not dare to fire, and he was afraid that his son would be caught up by the Ming army, so he hurriedly said to Geng Zhongyi: "Then quickly bring someone up to pick up Ying Yuan when he comes back!"
"good!"
Geng Zhongyi was unambiguous. He pulled his horse's head and raised his hand towards his own soldiers. The soldiers immediately waved their flags. Immediately, three thousand Liao soldiers armed with muskets poured out from the formation.
"Brothers, follow me and let the Ming army have a taste of our power!"
Geng Zhongyi was indeed the cousin of Geng Zhongming, a disciple of Shandong No. 3 Mine. He was quite fierce and his command was very well-organized. He saw the Ming army cavalry clinging to the cavalry, and the three thousand infantry who rushed over were frightened by the cavalry and began to move towards them.
Retreat. If you go straight up to meet them, you will definitely be dispersed by the defeated troops. Therefore, the order is issued, and you must move forward slowly according to the military ranks. Don't rush too fast, so as not to mess up the formation and be taken advantage of by the Ming army. If
If any defeated soldiers dare to charge into their formation, they will be shot down with cannons.
Although he was eager to rescue his son, Li Jiucheng also knew that Geng Zhongyi's command was correct. There must be no chaos in this meeting. As long as there is no chaos, the Ming army will not be able to rush into the formation. As long as the formation is not in chaos, the Ming army will not be able to hold on tightly.
Let go. When they get close, a burst of fire cannons will hit them, and they will retreat.
