When the King of Hell told Men Ying Zheng that he was furious, he heard that Wang Ti Zhong was leading his troops and without saying a word, he directly raised his troops to meet him. Wang Ti Zhong was the most courageous general under Bai Wang's command. A strong general had no weak soldiers, which made him fearful, not to mention himself.
After marching all night, the troops and horses were exhausted, but when they saw only a few hundred horsemen, they felt relieved.
They were both members of Bai Wang's five tiger generals. Although they were not as close as brothers, they did not break up with each other on weekdays. Wang Yi'en decided to ask clearly before starting the fight, and maybe he could be reined in. So he went to deliver the message, but saw that Wang Tizhong was no more than two riders away.
Come, I felt relieved that he was so unprepared that there might be room for maneuver, so I went there with only one guard.
Ten steps away, Wang Yi'en cursed loudly: "In this damn king's body, Marshal Bai treats you so well, why did you betray him? If you don't make it clear today, you will lose your life!"
Wang TiZhong smiled bitterly: "How Bai Wang treats me is a matter between me and him. There is no need to explain it clearly to you. It doesn't matter whether I died here today or you pretended to be the King of Hell and went to see the real King of Hell. Let's not mention it for now.
Let me ask you first, do you want to continue on the dark road of becoming a thief, and how long can you go on?"
The King of Hell was startled and then cursed endlessly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. King Chuang has established the Dashun. We are already the upright Dashun army. How can we talk about thieves? Now that the Dashun army has swept across the Ming army, sooner or later the world will be destroyed."
They are all from Dashun. You are really short-sighted! I advise you to turn around and confess your sins to Marshal Bai. I, the King of Hell, will guarantee with my life that you will be fine."
Wang Tizhong turned his head and glanced at Wu Sangui: "Look, the oil and salt are not allowed to enter!" The King of Hell saw this and became suspicious: "Who is next to you?"
Wu Sangui patted his horse and took a few steps forward: "I am Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. If you surrender today, you can continue to be a false king of hell. Otherwise, I will send you to see the real king of hell."
Wang Yi'en's face flashed, Wu Sangui! He was secretly shocked, why did this person come? From Bai Wang's mouth, he only knew that the eunuch of Dongchang was coming, but he didn't know that the powerful general who had been sitting outside the gate guarding the gate of the Ming Dynasty was also here. His eyes
He immediately narrowed his eyes and looked behind him: "Guan Ning Cavalry?"
Wu Sangui chuckled: "Yes, do you want to try it?"
Wang Yi'en laughed loudly: "I've heard for a long time that Guan Ning's cavalry is very powerful. I'd rather not give it a try." He drew his knife and pointed at Tongling City next to him: "Each of you can take it according to your ability." He then rode back. Wu Sangui knew that a war would eventually begin.
, turned his head and said to Wang Tizhong: "General Wang, this is your first battle after surrendering, and it is also a hard battle. We do not seek a big victory, but we are not allowed to lose. We must build momentum and open our eyes, how about it?"
Wang Tizhong laughed loudly: "I feel comfortable hearing this, but I want to take a good look at the majesty of Guan Ning's cavalry."
Wu Sangui exclaimed: "I won't let you down." He waved his sword, and six hundred horsemen behind him rushed over with swords and murderous intent. Wang Tizhong looked at the soldiers and horses of King Yama on the opposite side and started to charge, and then looked sideways.
Wu Sangui said to Wu Sangui on the west side of the city: "I still have more than a hundred people in the city. How about we let them go out of the city to help in the battle?"
Wu Sangui stared at the bandits getting closer and closer in the distance, and shook his head slightly: "When the cavalry fights, the infantry will die in vain, and you must not open the city gate at this time. If you are not careful, the thieves will take advantage of it." After that, he looked back.
At a glance, the soldiers rushed forward and shouted: "Kill all these thieves and collect the reward, let them see the power of our Guan Ning cavalry, let them know that our Guan Ning army can not only guard the border but also quell civil strife..."
The reason why the Guan Ning cavalry is famous is not only its strong combat power, but also its strict discipline and a sense of honor that is rare among other officers and soldiers. For the honor of Guan Ning's army, they must move forward bravely, regardless of their own safety. Hundreds of cavalry rushed over with bows, arrows and swords.
, Wu Sangui took the lead and rushed over with his sword drawn. When he looked at the king's body, he couldn't help but say, "My day," and he also left after him.
Although there were only a few hundred cavalry, their murderous intent was overwhelming. Wang Yi'en looked at the formation with a solemn expression. Just by looking at the momentum, he knew that the rumors were true. However, he was not afraid. Since all of his men were good at fighting, he might not be defeated by these fierce frontier soldiers.
What's more, our troops are far superior to theirs, so we still have a good chance of winning this battle.
In the blink of an eye, the two armies collided, but Wang Yi'en was shocked. His front line was hit hard by the officers and soldiers, and a big hole was torn open. It was impossible, right? He suffered a big loss just after the fight? Not as good as that.
I thought Guan Ning's army had already rushed into the formation and the two armies started fighting fiercely.
Wang Yi'en was shocked how his opponent, who was also a tired army, could be so powerful. Although Guan Ning's army was famous, his men were also good at fighting. How could the gap be so big? He had not yet realized that the real reason for this loss was the war horses and cavalry.
combat experience.
Since ancient times, the southern cavalry has almost never been able to defeat the northern cavalry. There are various reasons, but war horses are one of them. The northern war horses are tall and fast, and the nomads are good at riding and shooting. Cavalry combat is a common way of fighting. On the other hand, the south has to throw away war horses.
Due to their short size and slow speed, they are not suitable for cavalry combat due to the terrain and environment. Most of them are infantry combat, so their cavalry and archery skills and combat experience are far inferior to those in the north.
Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry was an existence that even the Tatars were once afraid of. How could they be resisted by thieves like Bai Wang who drilled rat holes in the mountains and forests every day.
It does not mean that you are a cavalry just by riding a horse, and not all cavalry are called Guan Ning cavalry.
When it comes to mountain fighting or infantry fighting, Bai Wang's troops may not be inferior to Wu Sangui's frontier troops, but in cavalry fighting... the gap is really not even a tiny bit. Let's talk about cavalry and archery. When the two armies charged nearly a hundred steps apart, Guan Ning's army could already draw its bow.
Shooting arrows suppressed the opponent, but the bandits could only wait until they were fifty or even twenty or thirty steps away before firing their bows. This was their effective killing distance, but it was far from that of Guan Ning's army.
Therefore, Guan Ning's army easily suppressed its momentum with a wave of rapid fire, and then rushed over and tore a large gap in its front line, just like a dragon entering the sea and slashing with a sword.
Seeing such a huge difference in the cavalry's combat effectiveness, Wang Yi'en was not alarmed. After looking at it for a while, a sneer escaped from the corner of his mouth. Although the officers and soldiers were powerful, they were too few and they were too weak to disperse. This gave him an opportunity to take advantage of it and immediately adjusted his formation from
The frontal fight has been changed to a siege. Aren't you very awesome? Then I will surround you and bite you to death little by little!
Of course Wu Sangui is very awesome. When he was young, he and a dozen servants rushed into a Tatar formation of thousands of people to save his father and fought their way out. Now in his prime, Wu Sangui is even more brave than before and personally leads a killing formation.
In the middle, under the guard of the pro-army, he rushed left and right and was covered with blood. His expression was ferocious and he was yelling and cursing as if he was crazy. The king was shocked to see how this man could be so crazy.
Little did he know that Wu Sangui was venting all kinds of anger in his heart at this time, especially the anger towards the little eunuch! The dusty journey and the unsatisfactory fight with the king's body had not been exhausted. At this time, he finally had his fun. Otherwise, why would he often
Yu did not allow Ma Ke, who led 800 cavalry, to come to Tongling with Wang Tizhong, but Wu Sangui, who only had 500 cavalry, was allowed to come over, just to make him rush and fight non-stop to vent his anger.
The generals are so desperate, not to mention the five hundred Guan Ning cavalry under his command. Although they are exhausted, they are full of fighting spirit. They are not cowed in the face of multiple enemies. They want to fight for the honor of Guan Ning's army. Guan Ning
The prestige of the cavalry was not brought about by strong winds. Even if the Tatars still fight, how can they lose their prestige among the bandits?
Must do it!
The frontier army was so powerful, but it also inspired the people in the king's body. Although he only had a hundred cavalry under his command, they were the most elite men. In addition, this was the first battle after the surrender and he had to make a name for himself. If he lost, it would be really embarrassing for the little eunuch.
There is no beginning, and if Bai Wang is captured, he will not bypass him, but if he helps Wu Sangui defeat the rebels and enter Tongling City, or captures and kills Wang Yi'en, it will be a great achievement, and everyone in the king's body will be affected by it.
He knew it, so he worked extremely hard. In fact, he was a strong soldier. Under the stimulation of this kind of mentality, although he was exhausted, his fighting strength was not reduced!
Wang Yi'en's siege has been completed, but there is no trace of relief on his face. Although the officers and soldiers are surrounded, they are becoming more powerful. They can easily tear open the hole in any direction they rush in. In other words, if they want to break out of the encirclement, they will
You can go anytime!
The fighting power of these officers and soldiers was so terrifying! Wang Yien's heart felt cold. He knew that the reason why he could survive until now without defeat was all because of his superior strength. If he had equal troops, he would have been defeated long ago!
The frontier army is indeed powerful, and the Guan Ning cavalry is indeed worthy of its reputation!
Although Wang Yi'en was confident that his men were strong in combat, the cavalry really couldn't defeat them!
However, it is difficult to get off the tiger. If you can't defeat them, you have to fight them. You have to rely on the superiority of troops to grind them to death. He had previously boasted in front of Bai Wang that he would take them back even if Wang Tizhong captured the city, but now they are fighting them even before they enter the city.
However, that would be really embarrassing!
"Kill, they can't hold on anymore, surround them and chop them to death." Wang Yi'en was cruel and bloodthirsty by nature. Seeing Wu Sangui and Wang Tizhong killing everyone in the formation, he could no longer hold on, so he rushed into the formation with a long knife.
Wang Yi'en was right, the officers and soldiers really couldn't hold on anymore, even the powerful Guan Ning cavalry! You know, they just had a fight in the afternoon yesterday and then ran non-stop for nearly three hundred miles without sleeping! Even those who are made of iron can hold on.
It won't be long.
At the beginning of the war, I was like a tiger descending the mountain with astonishing momentum. However, once the tea time passed, my fighting spirit was not exhausted, but my physical strength could not keep up. The arm holding the knife became sore and weak, and the horse under my crotch was also sluggish and hesitated...
…
Wu Sangui has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a lot of experience. Looking around, he knows that his subordinates are weak. Although the rebel army is also sluggish, its strength is larger and it is difficult to defeat it for a while. If the battle begins, he can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
It's good, but if he gets into a stalemate, it will be very detrimental to him. Even if he wins, he will suffer heavy losses!
This was not what Wu Sangui wanted. He hesitated in his heart whether to withdraw his troops. He turned to look at Wang Tizhong who was fighting not far away. As if he had some understanding, Wang Tizhong also looked at him and then made a reining movement. Wu Sangui took a long breath.
He nodded and sent the order to break out to the north.
The officers and soldiers suddenly turned around and broke through. Wang Yi'en did not react at first. After all, Wu Sangui's cavalry was too powerful and could rush out from any direction at any time. It was only after they broke through to the north that Wang Yi'en realized that the officers and soldiers were about to withdraw.
But he was not excited at all. Wang Yi'en was also an experienced warrior. He knew that the reason why Wu Sangui withdrew was not because he was defeated, but because he felt that there was no need to fight to the death with him. He relied on the strong combat effectiveness of the cavalry to advance.
But I can't stop myself from retreating.
Although it cannot be stopped, it must not be allowed to enter the city! This is Wang Yi'en's final bottom line. He knows that he only needs to hold it back until Bai Wang's army arrives from behind. Wu Sangui and Wang Ti are bound to be defeated by this small number of troops, and they will immediately retreat.
If Tongling City is surrounded again at that time, the hundred or so people inside will inevitably surrender under the strong offensive and psychological pressure. After all, although they are Wang Tizhong's subordinates and Bai Wang's subordinates, they are not confidants and cannot defend.
.
Naturally, Wang Tizhong also knew the key. When he retreated, he wanted to go to the North City to open the door, but Wang Yi'en didn't give him a chance and insisted on not leaving it outside the North Gate. There was another fight. This made the people in the city unable to open the door even though they wanted to.
I have neither the courage nor the time to open the door.
Wang Tizhong had no choice but to shout to the city: "There are still 100,000 troops coming to support Bai Wang from behind, and Bai Wang won't be able to hold out for long! As long as you stay behind closed doors, you have made a great contribution!" Then he and Wu Sangui retreated more than five miles north.
Wang Yi'en did not pursue him, but sent troops under the city to continue calling for the door.
The thieves in the city are really suffering at this time. No one dares to make the decision whether to open or not, so they simply ignore it and wait until you guys can tell the difference.
This made Wang Yi'en furious and ordered to cut down the wood and break the door. But at this moment, Wu Sangui and Wang Tizhong led their troops to attack again. The rebel army had to give up and rush to fight. The two armies fought for a while and then dispersed.
After several rounds, a tacit agreement was finally reached: no one should come near the city gate!
