Li Huan just smiled lightly when he heard this, looked at Xu Ying, Chen Ang and others slowly said: "If you are asked to attack this city, what strategy will you take?"
After being slightly startled, Xu Ying, Chen Ang, and Ren Ping all looked somewhat thoughtful. In their view, this was naturally a test for them by Li Huan.
After all, as generals commanding an army, it is their duty to attack cities and conquer territories. If they do not even have strategies to attack cities, then they are not suitable to be generals commanding an army.
After looking at each other, Xu Ying spoke first: "Back to the Governor, it's just a Ningzhou city. The city is only a dozen miles in radius, and the garrison is only a few thousand. The most important thing is that the garrison in this city is not an elite.
They are just a bunch of ragtag people. If the general personally leads the elite troops and attacks them by force, I dare not say that they can be defeated in one attack, but they can be attacked by force in a few times."
Chen Ang stood aside and nodded slightly: "Yes, the general guarding the city is He Jin. He Jin is just a nobody. Just looking at his formations, you can tell that he is not proficient in the art of war, nor is he very knowledgeable."
What a good general he is, he can attack a city by force."
Ren Ping also nodded slightly, obviously deeply convinced of Chen Ang and Xu Ying's opinions.
Li Huan smiled, as Xu Ying and others said, Ningzhou City is not a strong city, and the people who defend the city are just a group of rabble, and the generals who defend the city are not good generals. If we really attack by force, I think
It's really not that difficult to break through.
The eyes of several people fell on Li Huan, who chuckled and said: "Ningzhou City is not a problem, but our goal here is not Ningzhou City, but to put down the rebellion of Anhua King Zhu Chixiu.
"
Chen Ang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said: "What does the Governor mean that we ignore Ningzhou City?"
A flash of light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and he said: "Yes, it's just a Ningzhou city. Just go around it. As long as the rebellion of King Anhua is put down, He Jin and the thousands of rebels in the city will be captured without mercy."
Ren Ping said subconsciously: "But if they raid our retreat..."
Before Ren Ping could finish his words, a look of surprise appeared on Ren Ping's face, and then he looked at Li Huan and said, "Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief."
Li Huan just smiled and said: "The soldiers rested for the night and set off tomorrow, heading straight to Anhua City. They rushed to the Anhua City in one day. I think the Anhua King should be very surprised."
Xu Ying looked at Li Huan with admiration. They were thinking about how to capture Ningzhou City before, but they didn't expect that Li Huan didn't even think about spending any time on Ningzhou City, but wanted to go straight to Huanglong.
.
If the two sides were fighting, if Ningzhou City was not breached, there would be a real danger of being cut off.
However, the two sides are in different forms. If the two sides are equally powerful, it would definitely be a risky move for Li Huan to ignore his retreat. It is very likely that he will be attacked from both sides and defeated.
But don't forget that King Anhua's rebellion only occupied the territory of Qingyang Prefecture. Using this territory to fight against the power of the imperial court was like using an egg against a stone.
Not to mention that Cao Xiong, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, who had received Li Huan's transfer order and was leading the imperial army to join him, it was not that Li Huan looked down on He Jin who was defending the city.
Li Huan dared to say that even if he bypassed Ningzhou City and attacked Anhua City, the defender He Jin would never dare to leave the city and attack him from behind.
Moreover, the troops led by Cao Xiong will be able to arrive tomorrow at most. Even if He Jin really leaves the city by then, he may not have time to attack Li Huan's retreat.
Li Huan glanced at Ningzhou City lightly and said, "Go back to camp."
On top of the city wall, his heart was racing. He Jin, who was full of tension and anxiety, watched Li Huan and others go away from a distance. Instead of feeling relieved, he became more and more worried towards his confidants.
He said: "The reinforcements sent by the prince have not arrived yet."
Seeing his general's panic, the confidant couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart and said: "General, General Zhou Ang has led his army to arrive. At most...at most he will be able to arrive tomorrow."
He Jin took a deep breath and said: "No, the imperial army will definitely attack the city tomorrow morning. You immediately send people out of the city overnight to find Zhou Ang and ask him to hurry up and lead people to rescue."
As soon as he returned to the army camp, Li Huan saw a royal guard waiting in the tent.
Seeing Li Huan's return, the hundred members of the Jinyi Guards quickly stepped forward to greet Li Huan and said, "I have met your Excellency."
Li Huan waved his hand, glanced at the Jin Yiwei Baihu and said, "But is there any news?"
Li Huan had already sent an order to the Jinyiwei system and ordered the Jinyiwei of the third brother of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia to strictly investigate the matter of King Anhua's rebellion.
When the Jin Yiwei hundred households heard this, they looked at Li Huan and said: "Returning to your lord, not long ago, brothers received news that Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu sent Zhou Ang to lead an army of 20,000 to rescue Ningzhou City. If nothing happens,
If so, the troops led by Zhou Ang should arrive at Ningzhou City around noon tomorrow."
Li Huan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the eyes of Ren Ping, Chen Ang, Xu Ying and others who followed Li Huan into the tent lit up.
After waving his hand, Jin Yiwei Baihu retreated. Li Huan sat there, looked at Ren Ping, Chen Ang and others, and chuckled: "It seems that King Anhua really values Ningzhou very much."
.”
Ren Ping said: "After all, Ningzhou City is also the gateway to Qingyang Mansion. In the eyes of King Anhua and others, Ningzhou City cannot be lost, so it is reasonable to send Zhou Ang to lead an army."
Chen Ang glanced at Li Huan thoughtfully and said: "My subordinates think that in addition to rescuing Ningzhou, King Anhua also means to stop us and drag us under the city of Ningzhou."
When Ren Ping heard this, he frowned and looked at Chen Ang and said, "Commander Chen, are you thinking too much? What's the use of King Anhua dragging us under Ningzhou City?"
Xu Ying sneered and said: "Of course we are waiting for the Tatar reinforcements to arrive."
Ren Ping suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Huan.
Li Huan looked quite calm, apparently not surprised at all by Xu Ying's words.
Li Huan said calmly: "It seems that the Tatars have been going south in the past few days."
Although it has been known for a long time that King Anhua colluded with the Tatars and led the Tatars to go south, but now that the approximate time for the Tatars to go south has been calculated from King Anhua's troops and generals, everyone still can't bear it.
A bit of anger arose in my heart.
"grown ups!"
Ren Ping couldn't help but speak to Li Huan, his eyes full of anger and high-spirited fighting spirit.
It would be fine to say that the Tatars invaded, but as a member of the Ming clan, King Anhua actually colluded with the Tatars and even wanted to lure the Tatars south to cause trouble in the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who still has loyalty in his heart will definitely kill King Anhua.
Treat him as an enemy.
"I sincerely ask for your permission. I am willing to lead my troops to defeat Zhou Ang's reinforcements, seize Anhua City, and bring King Anhua to justice."
"The last general invites you to fight!"
Several generals stood up together, their eyes full of high-spirited fighting spirit.
Li Huan showed a smile on his lips, glanced at a few people and said: "Don't worry, you guys are indispensable in the war. However, the army has been marching thousands of miles in recent days, and the soldiers are already exhausted. No matter how anxious you are, you are not in a hurry."
, tomorrow the whole army will be refreshed and ready to work, first destroy Zhou Ang's tribe, and then rush into Anhua City and capture the rebel king."
next day
red sun rising
Above the dilapidated official road, vast clouds of smoke and dust covered the sky, and countless soldiers and horses could be seen coming slowly like a torrent.
While the flag was fluttering, the word "zhou" on the flag could be faintly seen. Needless to say, this group of troops was sent by King Anhua and was composed of 20,000 rebels commanded by Zhou Ang.
The 20,000-strong army was naturally surrounded by darkness. At a glance, it was almost impossible to see the edges. The momentum was not small at all.
It's a pity that anyone with a discerning eye can see that this army has many soldiers and horses, but it is not an elite force.
With so many people and horses, it seemed like they couldn't even maintain their formation. At first glance, they looked more like a rabble.
However, the leading general, who was surrounded by his own soldiers, looked very satisfied. He was wearing a very conspicuous armor, and he looked quite eye-catching. It was the commander-in-chief of this rebel army, Zhou.
hold head high.
Zhou Ang looked at the 20,000 troops behind him and was very excited. He thought that Zhou Ang was just a guerrilla general. In the past, he could only command a few thousand people at most.
Even because of his lack of pay, he, a guerrilla general, had very few troops that he could actually command. This was definitely the first time he had led an army of tens of thousands like this.
This sense of accomplishment made Zhou Ang extremely excited.
A burst of fast horses came rushing towards him. Zhou Ang was shocked and looked towards the person. It was the sentinel he had sent out.
The sentry turned over and dismounted, saluted Zhou Ang and said: "Greetings to the general, we have found traces of the imperial army ahead."
When Zhou Ang heard this, he didn't look panicked. Instead, his eyes lit up and he said, "The imperial troops and horses? How far are they from here?"
The sentry hurriedly said: "Back to General, it's almost twenty miles away. The enemy has set up camp under Ningzhou City and is currently besieging Ningzhou City."
Zhou Ang couldn't help laughing and said: "Young man Li Huan, you are really ignorant. You actually used cavalry to attack the city. You really don't know what to do."
As he spoke, Zhou Ang said to the generals beside him: "Everyone has heard it, Li Huan's kid actually used cavalry to attack the city. It's ridiculous. This is such a God-given opportunity. If I don't take advantage of it to break through the opponent's army.
, are you sorry that God gave us such a good opportunity?"
If Li Huan led tens of thousands of cavalry to charge into battle, no matter how much Zhou Ang looked down on Li Huan, he would still be very energetic.
After all, although he is arrogant, he is not a fool. He knows very well that if his 20,000 horsemen are really attacked by tens of thousands of cavalry, they will definitely not be a match.
Therefore, Zhou Ang had been praying in his heart that Li Huan had better be busy attacking Ningzhou City, so that he could find the opportunity to take down Li Huan's cavalry in one go.
Although Zhou Ang also knew that his idea was a bit unrealistic, what if God allowed him to get his wish?
As a result, the news brought by the sentinel made Zhou Ang full of excitement.
Using cavalry to attack the city made Zhou Ang underestimate Li Huan in his mind. In addition, Zhou Ang did not take Li Huan seriously at all. It can be said that Zhou Ang did not regard Li Huang as an opponent at all.
.
Many rebel generals also looked at each other. They thought that this might be a hard battle. Unexpectedly, Li Huan, sent by the imperial court, actually used the cavalry as infantry to attack the city. Suddenly, all the rebels
The generals' spirits were lifted.
Zhou Ang saw the reaction of everyone in his eyes and said loudly: "Send the order and order the army to speed up. We must not give Li Huan a chance to react."
But he said that under Ningzhou City
Li Huan and others were listening to the news brought back by the sentry, with a bit of a smile on their lips.
The sentinel retreated, and Li Huan put down the tea cup in his hand, glanced at the generals in the tent and said, "Send an order for those brothers who are acting to work harder and work harder."
Hearing what Li Huan said, many generals couldn't help but smile.
Listening to the shouts of killing coming from the distance outside, it sounded like a fight was going on.
But they knew very well that the shouts of killing were simply staged for others to see, and the soldiers attacking the city were simply acting under Ningzhou City.
Since it was certain that Zhou Ang's army could arrive today, Li Huan simply decided not to spend any time attacking Zhou Ang's troops.
After all, even if they are cavalry, they will definitely get tired after running for dozens of miles. In this case, it is better to sit back and wait for Zhou Ang to lead the army to the door.
Of course, in order to prevent Zhou Ang from coming, Li Huan specially sent a battalion to Ningzhou City in an siege posture.
One was to put on a show for Zhou Ang and other rebels to let them know that he, the governor, didn't know much about soldiers. The other was to force Zhou Ang to lead troops to rescue Ningzhou City.
After all, if Zhou Ang and his troops fled back to Anhua City, it would not be that easy for them to break through Anhua City.
After all, even if they are a ragtag group of people, if they reach a certain number, they cannot be underestimated.
After looking at Chen Ang, Xu Ying and the others, Li Huan nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead and lead your men to be ready to attack at any time, and be sure to hit Zhou Ang's troops hard."
After receiving Li Huan's order, Chen Ang, Xu Ying and others were refreshed. They suddenly stood up, bowed to Li Huan, and strode out of the camp.
On the ground ten miles away from Ningzhou City, a black mass of rebels was approaching Ningzhou City at an extremely fast speed.
Zhou Ang, who was riding a horse, watched a horse galloping towards him.
When the cavalryman saw the flags of Zhou Ang and others, his eyes lit up and he ran over happily.
But the next moment, this person was stopped by a team of sentinels.
"I am Li Guo, a soldier from Ningzhou. I have been ordered by my general to come to ask for help from General Zhou."
Hearing Li Guo's words from a distance, a gleam flashed in Zhou Ang's eyes and he said: "Bring the people here."
Li Guo was soon brought to Zhou Ang. Li Guo bowed to Zhou Ang and said, "Little Li Guo pays homage to the general."
Zhou Ang glanced at Li Guo condescendingly and said, "Li Guo, right? How is the situation in Ningzhou City? Does your general have anything to say to me?"
Li Guo said hurriedly: "General Zhou, the troops of the imperial court began to attack the city early this morning. They almost attacked the city several times. Fortunately, my general led the defenders to guard the city strictly, so Ningzhou City was not attacked."
Zhou Ang said impatiently: "Don't your generals have anything to say to me?"
Li Guo paused and said: "My general has said that he also asked General Zhou to find an opportunity to attack the imperial army. At that time, my general will lead the army to fight out of the city, attack from both front and rear, and defeat the imperial army."
Zhou Ang laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Well, He Jin actually has such thoughts, it is not in vain that the prince ordered him to take charge of Ningzhou City."
As he spoke, Zhou Ang stared at Li Guo and said solemnly: "As far as I know, General, Li Huan led nearly ten thousand cavalry. How many troops and horses did he use when he attacked the city?"
Li Guo was stunned, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I am just a soldier beside General He. I was ordered to go out of the city to ask for help. I don't know how many troops the imperial court sent to attack the city..."
Zhou Ang nodded slightly when he heard this, glanced at Li Guo and said: "In that case, you can follow my general. If you can defeat the imperial army this time, I will remember your contribution."
Li Guo was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Thank you so much, General."
Under Zhou Ang's urging, the rebels rushed toward Ningzhou City at extremely fast speeds.
From a distance, Zhou Ang could only see a camp stationed not far from Ningzhou City. There were shouts of killing coming from the direction of Ningzhou City in the distance.
Although he couldn't see the situation in Ningzhou City, just hearing the shouts of killing, Zhou Ang couldn't help being surprised and said in his heart: "Okay, okay, even if Li Huan reacts at this moment, it is too late."
As he spoke, Zhou Ang shouted excitedly: "Send my order and order the army to rush into the camp."
"kill!"
"kill!"
Tens of thousands of horses and horses were running, and the movement was not small at all.
Originally, Zhou Ang's soldiers and horses were running all the way and were already exhausted. However, under the urging of generals at all levels among the rebels, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses cheered up and rushed to station there.
The camp swept in.
As he got closer and closer, the earth suddenly shook. Zhou Ang followed the sound and saw two groups of torrents roaring towards him from both wings in the distance.
The camp gate in the middle also opened wide, and a group of cavalry also roared out.
What's more important is that the deafening shouts of killing in Ningzhou City in the distance suddenly disappeared.
"wrong!"
Inexplicably, Zhou Ang felt something bad in his heart, especially when he saw the three waves of cavalry sweeping in.
The unrivaled momentum like a torrent caused Zhou Ang's complexion to change drastically.
"No, I was fooled!"
Zhou Ang was betting that Li Huan's energy would be restrained by Ningzhou City, so he dared to take the gamble. Otherwise, although he would still lead the army to rescue Ningzhou City, he would never be so reckless.
Come and kill.
Zhou Ang knew very well that when the infantry faced the cavalry charging into battle, if they were prepared in the wilderness, they might not be defeated.
The key is that his soldiers and horses are not on the defensive now, and there are various defenses that can withstand the impact of the cavalry.
The infantry attacked the cavalry, which was simply seeking death.
"how so!"
Zhou Ang subconsciously looked at Li Guo. He wanted to ask him what was going on.
However, the next moment, a cold light came towards Zhou Ang, and it was Li Guo who suddenly shot an arrow at Zhou Ang.
As soon as Li Guo took action, he rushed towards Zhou Ang's vital point. The dozens of soldiers beside Zhou Ang couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw this, and tried to stop him.
There were dozens of personal guards between Li Guo and Zhou Ang. Otherwise, Li Guo would not have fired an arrow, but would have directly slashed at Zhou Ang with his sword.
With a warning in his heart, Zhou Ang suddenly leaned down, the arrow missed Zhou Ang's head, and shot Zhou Ang's helmet off directly.
Zhou Ang, who was immediately disheveled, screamed: "Kill him, kill him!"
At this moment, Zhou Ang didn't know that there must be something wrong with Li Guo's identity. He had been deceived.
Needless to say, who could have deceived him besides Li Huan, whom he did not take seriously.
Zhou Ang couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed when he thought that he had been deceived by Li Huan. He had been deceived by a junior.
"Ah, ah, ah, little Li Huan, how dare you plot against me, I'm so angry at this general!"
At this moment, three torrents were like three sharp knives piercing into the rebels, and suddenly the shouts of killing and the screams of the rebels were heard from the rebels.
Wherever the cavalry passed, the rebels were panicked and had no intention of resisting. They were killed and wounded in the blink of an eye.
Li Huan rode his horse and waved the spear in his hand. Anyone who stood in front of him was thrown away by him.
In the eyes of others, Li Huan danced with the spear in his hand, and then figures flew into the sky, and then fell down hard, killing and injuring an unknown number of rebels.
Suddenly, a cry came: "Sir, the thief is about to escape!"
When Li Huan heard this, his eyes fell in the distance, and he saw a general in armor, escorted by dozens of soldiers, fleeing at an extremely fast speed among the rebellious army.
The person who spoke was none other than Li Guo.
Li Huan nodded slightly at Li Guo, then suddenly dismounted his horse, and then chased Zhou Ang directly under the guard of Li Hu and more than a dozen cavalry.
With Li Huan's spirit of blocking and killing, no one of the rebel soldiers dared to stand in front of him. On the contrary, Zhou Ang led his own soldiers to flee and had to slash his own rebels with swords.
As a result, it didn't take long for Li Huan to catch up with Zhou Ang, the rebel leader with shining armor.
Zhou Ang looked at Li Huan with a look of embarrassment, thinking that not long ago he had given up his wild words to Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu and wanted to take Li Huan's head to see Zhu Zhixiu.
Zhou Ang admitted that he had indeed underestimated Li Huan. Li Huan was indeed as young as he imagined. But youth is still young. The key is that Li Huan was young. It was just the invincible force that he had just displayed.
, Zhou Ang felt a sense of despair in his heart.
He was only of second-rate strength, relying on flattery and bribing superior officials to get a job as a guerrilla general in the army.
Because he was dissatisfied with Liu Jin's new policy and quite ambitious, he was bewitched by King Anhua and decided to raise troops to assist King Anhua in his rebellion.
In the previous episode, he indeed led his troops to easily capture more than a dozen cities in Qingyang Prefecture. He thought he could assist King Anhua to conquer the world.
This time, I thought that when dealing with the imperial army, as he had done before, the imperial army would be easily defeated as soon as the troops arrived. It was precisely because of this thought that Zhou Ang followed the plan so easily.
Looking at Li Huan now, Zhou Ang felt a bit desperate in his heart, but soon Zhou Ang roared, and suddenly pulled out his horse and pounced on Li Huan.
"Little Li Huan, even if it means death, Zhou will drag you with him!"
Li Huan looked at Zhou Ang's desperate posture and couldn't help but sneer with disdain.
Riding on the horse, Li Huan just looked at Zhou Ang who was rushing towards him. He shook the spear in his hand and saw that the blood on the spear was thrown away. The next moment, the spear in Li Huan's hand moved forward so casually.
prick.
