Chang Yu sighed, put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Li Yan and sneered: "How many lives of soldiers were sacrificed to advance from Dingxing to the city, and the bandit army left as soon as they arrived? Besides, Li Zicheng will grow up every time he suffers.
Zhi, he didn’t foresee the enemy well enough for you to succeed. If you retreat, will he give you another chance to approach Baoding City? I dare to say that if he attacks across the river, the first thing he will do is chase you and defeat Dingxing.
If we attack Baoding City after the defensive line, can you handle the hundreds of thousands of rebels and refugees?"
Li Yan's face turned red, and Chang Yu looked at Zhou Yuji again: "You learned the word "rhythm" very quickly. As you said, we have no foreign aid in Taiyuan, so we can only throw everything at it, and we have to struggle with every method.
But have you ever thought about the huge difference between Baoding and Taiyuan? Here Li Zicheng has the right time, place, people and all the people, and he has learned from the past. He will not let you easily mess up the rhythm. If you take the initiative, you will play into his hands. He will just
Even cannon fodder can kill you. More importantly, Taiyuan City has a high wall behind it. It is too difficult for us to hide in it. However, although Baoding City is a prefectural city, it is much inferior to Taiyuan City. If he attacks the city with all his strength.
, how long should I wait?"
"What's more important is that even if Taiyuan is broken, or cannot be broken, there is still the Ningwuguan Great Wall behind it, and the governor of Datong has a place for him to spend his time. But what will happen after Baoding? A flat plain is the capital city.
, after he breaks the city or surrounds the city, the governor will have no danger to defend, and it will be difficult to stop his steps, and the capital will be in danger."
The generals were shocked when they heard what they said. The seriousness of the matter was far more cruel than they imagined.
"Then, what should the governor see?" Shi Kefa looked slightly panicked.
"Wait and hold on tight!"
Chang Yu gently picked up the wine glass, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and handed it to Jia Waixiong beside him: "This governor traveled thousands of miles to set up a dragnet for several days. Is this sin in vain? Once the nails behind the rebel army are penetrated,
Rou Li Zicheng was so panicked that he might even retreat without a fight. But before he could suffer from physical pain, he would most likely storm Baoding City, while we would hold on to the river and prevent him from crossing the river! Simply put, we are going to attack Baoding in Baoding.
Defend outside the city, not within it!"
Huang Degong and Gao Jie are the two nails driven into Chang Yu's head.
Gao Jie went south to regain the lost territory. With his tens of thousands of people, the rebel army stayed behind, but the success or failure was no match for him. Once Li Zicheng got his revenge, he would be frightened because his retreat was blocked and he had nowhere to escape if there was an accident. This made him unintentional.
Love war continues to go north.
Huang Degong also had Li Muxian cooperating with him in causing trouble in Zhaozhou, Zhending Prefecture. Once he and Gao Jie made things worse, Li Zicheng would feel severe pain and was afraid that he would turn around and leave back to his hometown in Xi'an.
So now Chang Yu could only wait, wait for him to feel pain, and go back to look for opportunities to catch up. But before he felt pain, if he attacked the little eunuch violently, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.
"Lord Governor, Baoding City does not have enough troops. Why don't you send Liu Zeqing from Hejian to come to support?" Li Yantuo asked: "If he comes to support us, our strength will increase and we will have more confidence in holding the defense line."
Chang Yu exclaimed: "How can dog meat be served at the banquet?"
A king can bring bronze to help each other, but bringing scrap metal can only hinder him: "Liu Zeqing is a wallflower. In order to preserve his strength during the war, he can only use it for show. It is better to leave him in Hejian Mansion to show off and make Li Zicheng confused.
In order to confuse the enemy, he was sent forward and defeated in one strike. The rebel army saw through the strength at a glance and opened a door to the east to let him escape."
It turned out to be so, and everyone suddenly realized.
The Black Wolf Battalion could be mobilized for use. At this time, Chang Yu finally remembered Lao Jiu and ordered someone to go and convey the order to mobilize troops.
Ten miles south of Baoding City, on the banks of the Qingshui River, the rebels established a second line of defense. This was because this was where the main camp was located. During the initial defeat, Li Zicheng did not dare to be careless. Although he was hesitant to attack, he still had to be prepared for the officers and soldiers to attack.
After setting up two lines of defense and placing tens of thousands of refugees among them, he calmed down a little and summoned his generals to the commander's tent for discussion. Even Liu Zongmin, who was originally on the first line of defense, was recalled to the camp.
In this battle, almost all of the partial divisions were deployed, and almost the entire army was wiped out. The lives of Chen Yongfu and Bai Guangen were unknown, and some of the main forces were injured, such as Zhang Nai and Hao Yaoqi's troops, who were direct descendants. The main force of these two troops was nearly 10,000, and those who escaped were
There were only a few thousand people, and the whereabouts of Hao Yaoqi, known as the second most powerful general in the army, was unknown.
Liu Fangliang, Gu Ying, and Gao Yigong escaped with tens of thousands of troops, but only more than ten thousand returned, and the main force only returned a few thousand. The losses were huge.
"Father, you are a child underestimating the enemy!" Zhang Nai knelt in front of the tent and slapped himself hard several times. His face turned the color of pig liver. Li Zicheng listened to him explain the situation of the battle in detail: "It is not your fault, it is Zhou Yu who knew the enemy's opportunity."
Then he looked sideways at Liu Fangliang, Gu Ying, and Gao Yigong, who had their heads lowered next to them: "Perhaps we have all drifted off recently, so it is good that the officers and soldiers slapped us awake."
"Your Majesty, I humbly ask for a fight." Liu Fangliang stood up with a look of grief and indignation on his face: "My lord, I would like to bring men and horses to kill across the Qingshui River and bring the head of the little eunuch to see the Lord."
"Hahaha, don't brag." Liu Zongmin said with a mocking face: "The three of you can't even defeat Li Yan together, and you still expect to fight that little eunuch alone. It's ridiculous! If he is so easy to deal with, in Taiyuan,
How could we suffer such a big loss, and why didn’t we kill him across the river before when his troops were tired? That little eunuch is not only brave but also extremely cunning. You are not worthy of playing with him!"
"You..." Liu Fangliang was immediately furious. If it had been someone else, he would have done it in the morning, but facing Liu Zongmin, the most lawless among the rebels, even Li Zicheng had to give him some face, so how could he dare to use violence.
"Jixuan (characterized by Liu Zongmin) speaks rudely but not harshly. In terms of bravery and wisdom, you are no enemy of that little thief. A defeat in this battle will affect the overall situation. Now we have to re-plan how to defend the enemy and how to attack." Li Zicheng
Said lightly, Liu Fangliang could only sigh and sit down.
"Whether that little thief has been behind the scenes on the northern front or has just been sent back from the south is still unclear, but the rapid advance of the officers and soldiers in the south and the civil unrest must be related to it, which means that he has already dug a trap in the south.
We need to be careful every step of the way to make a secret move, as one wrong step could jeopardize the overall situation," Li Zicheng said cautiously.
When the thieves saw what he said, their hearts tightened.
"If we are sure that there is nothing going on in the south at night, why not cross the river and attack him? It would be best if we can force him into the city in one fell swoop. If they do not enter the city, they will fight back to Dingxing. This time, they will not leave any room, and directly attack with all their strength.
After the defeat, it's not too late to take back Baoding City." Gao Yigong rarely made suggestions, but as soon as this plan came out, everyone nodded and praised it.
Li Zicheng nodded: "Let the whole army rest and prepare for war" and frowned slightly: "That eunuch suddenly appeared outside the city. I always feel something is wrong. I am afraid of going south..."
"Report..." It's really what I meant. The spies urgently reported that something big happened in the south. A group of nearly tens of thousands of officers and soldiers went south to Guangping Mansion to recover the lost territory. The other officers and soldiers in Zhaozhou suddenly sent troops northward, first in Luancheng.
At that time, they encountered Ren Jirong's men. The rebels were defeated and retreated to the bank of the Hutuo River. They fought a bloody battle with Gu Ke's men and horses. The rebels were once again defeated and retreated to defend the city of Zhendingfu. At this time, the officers and soldiers were attacking the city!
The thieves were shocked. Sure enough, something had happened. The little eunuch had secretly laid an ambush to mess up his rear. Every time this guy made a move, he was in a series of traps that were hard to guard against. He had deliberately appeared before and it was just as expected, just to lure him across the river to attack and prevent the ambush behind him.
What kind of killer?
However, how could the officers and soldiers in the south be so strong? With Ren Jirong and Gu Kecheng teaming up, they were defeated and retreated to Zhending Mansion. What about Li Guo, Luo Hu's men, and where were Ma Shiyao?
Tan Ma only said two words, civil unrest!
Li Zicheng immediately frowned and gritted his teeth, looking distressed: "Kill, kill them all. Those who cause trouble should be killed!"
"No!" Niu Jinxing, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and said to Li Zicheng: "If Your Majesty has murderous intentions, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"
"If we don't kill, there will be chaos. At this time, the officers and soldiers in the south are divided into two groups. They go all the way south to regain the lost ground, and all the way north to block the back road. There is the gelding in front of us waiting for us to come to our door. To the west are the vast mountains and the Great Wall. If we are blocked by him
You're here, where are you going?" Li Zicheng glared angrily.
"If that's the case, just run to the east!" Liu Zongmin looked indifferent: "Although there are officers and soldiers stationed in the Hejian Mansion in the east, they have been locked up for several days. At first glance, they are timid and fearful cowards. Let's go directly
If you kill him, he may not dare to stop you, and he won't be able to stop you!"
"Absolutely not." Niu Jinxing waved her hands hurriedly: "That little eunuch is good at planning and full of cunning tricks. How could he lay a useless chess piece in the east with his handiwork? In fact, it is just a trap, deliberately showing weakness and waiting for us to get into it.
”.
Everyone nodded slightly, thinking that this should be the case. Otherwise, why would the little eunuch leave a gap in that area when he had laid a net on all sides?
"Besides, even if we can run out, our base camp is in the west, how far can we run to the east?" Niu Jinxing sighed, and Liu Zongmin shouted: "Run over and capture Jinan City. If you can, stay there. If you can't, stay there."
Just go down and turn around and go south and then run west back to Xi'an. I don't believe that the officers and soldiers dare to stop it and they can stop it!"
"At this time, there is a powerful enemy. No matter how you defend yourself against the enemy, you are starting to think about how to escape. You are just a bastard." Li Zicheng shouted angrily.
Unexpectedly, Niu Jinxing was not afraid at all and asked: "Does King Chuang still intend to fight with the officers and soldiers at this time and continue to go north?"
Li Zicheng was startled: "What the Prime Minister means..." Well, his face softened and he actually smiled slightly: "It's time to go back."
