It was noon, and the sun was as scorching as fire.
Chang Yu was also furious in his heart. Since his debut, he has never had such a humiliating victory, and he has never been tricked so miserably!
In anger, he immediately sent an order to mobilize the Shenji Battalion in the city and nearly a hundred trebuchets to carry out an overwhelming bombing on the rebel positions to vent his anger!
"The Governor, calm down for a moment and don't act on impulse." Li Muxian carefully advised Chang Yu: "The artillery of the Shenji Battalion is to suppress the firepower of the rebels and cover the offensive positions of the officers and soldiers. The ammunition is limited and cannot be wasted at will. Unless a general attack is launched immediately, the soldiers just
We are already exhausted from a fight, can we get in with just the few kills from Lu Daqi?"
"That number of people?" Chang Yu snorted coldly: "That's tens of thousands of people, enough!"
"The number of people is enough, but what about the combat power? If these rookies can seize the rebel army's position, then there is no need for us to go south in the first place?" Li Muchian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Chang Yu said with a gloomy face: "Although our army is tired, the bandit army is also tired, so why should we be afraid!"
"The thieves have occupied a dangerous position and are defending. The governor should think twice. The soldiers are tired and tired under the scorching sun at this time. It is not suitable to fight anymore!" Li Muchian handed over his hands repeatedly. Wu Sangui and Ma Ke, who were next to him, seemed to have heard something and came over: "Fang Fangdao
What the director said is not unreasonable. We have suffered a hidden loss and are not in a hurry to find a place. We just need to make enough preparations and let him spend today!"
Chang Yu was previously so irritated that he lost control of his impulses. After being persuaded by Li Muxian, Wu Sangui, Ma Ke and others, he gradually calmed down. He looked up at the sky and cursed at the scorching sun: "It's not raining at all."
In this battle, the officers and soldiers suffered extremely heavy losses. Wu Sangui and Ma Ke lost nearly a thousand cavalry, which made the two of them feel heart-wrenching pain. You must know how difficult it is to train a cavalry who is good at riding and shooting. It doesn't take even ten infantry.
Change!
The 2,000 men who Lu Daqi used to harass the enemy were almost completely wiped out. However, the losses among the surrendered troops in the royal body were relatively small.
The wounded were being sent back to the city for treatment one after another. The bodies of the officers and soldiers who died in the battle were also buried on the spot after being hit, while the rebels marched directly to the foot of the mountain and formed a pile in the capital.
Because the weather was too hot, the soldiers and horses that Wu Sangui, Ma Ke, Wang Tizhong and others who had previously participated in the battle also went to the foot of the two wings of the mountain and the shady areas by the river to repair. Even the Nanjing soldiers and horses who were originally preparing to attack also withdrew from the rebel positions.
But thousands of gunmen and artillerymen from the Shenji Battalion were leaving the city one after another and rushing to the battlefield, along with nearly a hundred trebuchets. It was obvious that Chang Yu was going to launch a general attack!
The officers and soldiers here are making fires, cooking, and sharpening knives, while the rebels who are several miles away are hiding in groups in the shade, talking happily about the battle just now. In their eyes, they are the winners. They have been sleeping in the open for most of the month.
They had suffered a lot from being exposed to the sun and the rain. Today's battle finally allowed them to let go of their inner grievances, which was extremely satisfying.
However, Bai Wang, Wang Yi'en, Yuan Sanzhong and other bandit generals on the cliff had solemn faces. Although the officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses due to a conspiracy, they also saw the strong strength of the officers and soldiers in front of them, especially the cavalry troops in the front line.
The rebels took advantage of the chaos and attacked the horse after being tripped. They used spears and hooks to chop off heads and legs of horses. Normally, the troops would have been defeated and fled, but this frontier army not only withstood it, but
He was able to turn the situation around and his fighting power was truly terrifying!
"The storm is coming!" Looking at the officers and soldiers going back and forth in the distance, and the men and horses preparing to be busy several miles away, Bai Wang knew that what was supposed to come was coming, and the time for the officers and soldiers' general attack had arrived!
In the plan, he thought that the bloody battle just now would kill the officers and soldiers and retreat them back to the city, so that they could seize the opportunity to besiege the city. Unexpectedly, the plan was only half realized. Although the officers and soldiers were severely injured, they were not defeated, but they were angered.
them.
But this is fine. The battle just now caused heavy losses to them. If they attack the position, the damage will be even more serious. After the two battles, the strength of the officers and soldiers will be greatly reduced. Both their strength and morale will be severely affected. They will no longer have the strength to attack or even leave the city to fight with others.
If you fight in the field by yourself, then the initiative is in your own hands, and you can fight how you want.
"Look at this posture, the officers and soldiers have used all their wealth." Yuan Sanzhong frowned and stared into the distance: "Nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses and artillery from the Shenji Battalion... The storm the commander said is not an exaggeration at all. It is difficult to be good today.
It’s over”.
Bai Wang nodded, and Wang Yien chuckled: "We also have nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses guarding this ten-mile dangerous road along the mountains and rivers. There is a pit ten steps below, a trench twenty steps away, and a wall a hundred meters away. There are many elite soldiers lying in wait.
Trebuchets, artillery, and archers are positioned high to suppress the entire position. It is not difficult for the officers and soldiers to get in, but it is easy to get in and difficult to get out. Although he has many troops, the battlefield is such a big place and he cannot put in such troops at once, so even if he will
If all the family members move here, they may not be able to bear with me!"
Bai Wang laughed loudly: "The King of Hell is right, the war is imminent and the military's morale needs this kind of self-confidence! Let him have thousands of troops and he will never come back!"
Under the shade of the trees by the riverside, Chang Yu was already sweating profusely after eating hastily. He took off his clothes and only his shorts and plunged into the river. Some of the soldiers who were good at water jumped into the water to accompany him, fearing that something might happen to him.
Have a swim together.
When Tu Yuan, Lao Jiu and others saw this, they also took off their clothes and jumped into the water like dumplings. Only Wu Sangui, Ma Ke and Wang Ti Zhong remained motionless under the shade of the tree. They looked at each other and smiled slightly, thinking that the battle was about to be an outing.
Suddenly Chang Yu jumped out of the water, put his hands on his face, and hurried to the shore without even bothering to put on his clothes, and ran towards Wu Sangui and others: "I have thought of a powerful way, which will definitely make Bai Wang unable to eat and carry him around!
"
Wu Sangui and others were startled: "The governor asked me to come and take a look." Chang Yu chuckled, broke a branch and stretched it on the ground, like this...
After a while, excitement appeared on everyone's faces: "Under the encirclement, it will be difficult for him to fly with his wings." Wang Tizhong slapped his thigh and laughed, Chang Yu laughed: "He can trick me, and I will pay back double.
The reason for this is..." As he said this, he swept it across everyone's faces, and suddenly turned his head and shouted in the distance: "Wang Zamao, come here!"
Wang Zamao was chatting with his subordinates under the shade of a tree in the distance. When he heard Chang Yu shouting, his eyebrows suddenly lit up, good things had happened again.
Sure enough, when Chang Yu told him the plan, Wang Zamao knelt down on one knee and held his hands in his arms, saying: "This humble position will definitely live up to the high expectations of the Governor. I will not forget the kindness of the Governor. I will complete it even if I go through fire and water."
Mission!" Obviously Chang Yu gave him a chance to make great achievements.
"Go and prepare. You are fully responsible for this matter. Prepare the manpower and equipment before the general attack. Don't hold back. If the fighter plane is delayed, the military law will be dealt with!" Chang Yu patted him on the shoulder: "I will discuss it for you as soon as this battle is over.
Reward for meritorious deeds!”
Wang Zamao couldn't help but be excited. He knew that if he accomplished this, he would be able to achieve great success, so he bowed and thanked her, and then left in a hurry.
"The Lord Governor let his humble position guard him, why did he entrust him with such an important task?" Wang Tizhong came over and whispered: "On the battlefield just now, I noticed that he had a rebellious character. This person has repeatedly
Villains cannot be reused."
"This kind of person cannot be trusted and cannot be reused. If you want to use him, it depends on the current situation. If we are at a disadvantage at this time, it is better to kill him as soon as possible. If we are at an advantage at this time, he will add insult to injury to Bai Wang and beat him up."
No one can match his ruthlessness." Chang Yu sneered: "We have an absolute advantage now, so there is no need to worry about him betraying him, he will only intensify his efforts and think of ways to deal with Bai Wang."
"The Governor just said that this was a tough battle with even strength. How come it turned into an absolute advantage in the blink of an eye?" Li Muxian came from a distance. He had sharp ears and was very curious when he heard Chang Yu's words.
Chang Yu pulled him aside and whispered the plan in a low voice. Li Muchian patted his head: "How could I not think of such a simple thing? And it was only now that my lord remembered it. If it had been a moment earlier, what we just did
The battle won't be so hard! With such a move, we really have an absolute advantage. With a three-pronged approach, the thieves will be defeated!"
Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "The authorities are obsessed with it. Previously, all their thoughts were focused on the battlefield but they ignored the simplest and most effective way of attack. Now that I think about it, it is very funny. Thanks to the sudden flash of inspiration of the governor just now."
But Li Muxian suddenly frowned again: "This matter is too obvious, maybe Bai Wang will also think of it and take precautions in advance."
Chang Yu smiled and waved his hand: "This is the most helpless thing about him. Even if he sees through it, there is nothing he can do about it! Hahaha, I really feel better the more I think about it!"
