Chapter 160: Reward Shenglong!
When Mo Yulin rushed to the mansion of the Henan Zhisuo, Huang Tingai, the vanguard of the Zheng army of the Later Li Dynasty, was only thirty miles away from here. Fortunately, after receiving the order, Mo Dunrang did not entangle, let alone resist, but just sighed, and quickly handed over his military power and left, which gave him the opportunity to arrange the city defense.
This Fuli city is not big, if you want to make an analogy, it may be smaller than the pragmatic hometown of Xinzheng County, about two-thirds the size of Xinzheng County.
And this is just a light comparison, Xinzheng County is a pragmatic hometown, the Gao family even contributed money and efforts to help the county repair the city wall, on the strength of the city defense, it is a complete explosion of the small city in the house.
Mo Yulin's task was to defend this small city, and all he relied on was the 30,000 Southern Expeditionary Army, which had just been under his command and whose morale was extremely low.
Nan Zhengyi has long become a joke, and the battle of Ning Ping has already broken their backbones, and now their real desire is to run for their lives - to escape from the dragon!
As for what to do after escaping from the dragon, no one has thought about it. ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese網ωωω.. còм
Mo Yulin summoned all the officers of more than 100 households to cheer them up, and his method of boosting morale was extremely simple, with only one sentence: "The emperor has invited reinforcements from Guangxi, and in ten days at most, 100,000 soldiers will come to fight side by side with us!" ”
After a moment of stunnedness, everyone fell into ecstasy!
Da Ming has made a move! Daming help us! We are saved!
But after a period of ecstasy, the crowd was a little skeptical: Is this true?
Mo Yulin said lightly: "If it weren't for the will of the Ming Dynasty, how could King Ying be able to pick up the dragon at this time?" ”
Oh...... So that's what happened!
Now everyone believes it - there is no way not to believe it, if it weren't for the meaning of the Ming Dynasty, how could the emperor have seized the military power of King Ying because of Ningping's "little thing" before? How could King Ying leave so happily and honestly?
It seems that this time it is really saved, and the premise is just to hold the house for ten days!
After all, it is the elite foundation of the Mo family, and now although the backbone has been broken by the First World War, if you can't win Zheng Rui, you can't win Zheng Rui, if you just hold the house for ten days, then you can still do it!
Facts have proved that as long as this army has confidence, their combat effectiveness is actually not very bad, at least they have done a very good job of defending the city. Huang Tingai's onslaught launched by the victorious army was repelled seven times by this Mo army, which was inspired by the "support of the Great Tomorrow Army".
What's even more amazing is that with the seven repulsions of Huang Tingai's troops who defeated King Ying, the morale and confidence of this army began to recover, and they found that the combat effectiveness of the Zheng army was actually the same as before, compared to themselves, that is, half a catty and eight taels, there was nothing special about it.
If it weren't for Zheng Song's army also driving to the city of Fuli, Mo Yulin would even feel that the military spirit was available and he would be able to go out of the city and fight Huang Tingai head-on!
However, since the main force of Zheng Song's army has arrived, Mo Yulin has no intention of going out of the city to fight, anyway, the order given to him by Gao Zhitai is to defend the mansion and Henan, so why should he risk defeat to fight Zheng Jun?
Besides, looking at the meaning of Gao Press, it seems that this southern expeditionary army may be handed over to himself...... one's own strength, then it can't be squandered easily.
After Zheng Song arrived at the city of Fuli, he also launched a fierce attack, and his main force was different from Huang Tingai's army, his firepower was even more fierce, because in addition to those earthen cannons that had been outdated for a hundred years, he also had Franc machine guns in his hands!
It was a matter of future and even his life, Mo Yulin was not frightened because he saw the Franc cannon, he not only calmly arranged the defense, but even went up to the city tower to check the enemy situation in person.
He found a very key problem, or two: there were not many Francophone cannons in Zheng's army, only about 20 of them, and ...... It seems to be a little smaller than the Franc cannon in the Ming army.
If you want to compare the heavy artillery of the Franc machine on the fleet outside Thang Long City, it is even worse.
Mo Yulin put his mind at ease, just explained the defense task, and sent a five-way messenger to report this discovery to Shenglong - Zheng Jun's combat skills are estimated to be from China, and Mo Yulin was given a siege of three missing one, and the north road was vacated for him to escape.
It's a pity that Mo Yulin ate the scales this time, and insisted on carrying them in the mansion to fight with them, where would he escape!
Zheng Jun also seemed to be in a hurry, did not wait long, and quickly launched an offensive. However, Zheng Jun seemed to cherish their Franc cannon, and first launched two rounds of old-fashioned ant-attached sieges to the city, and only after determining that the long-range strike capability on the city tower was weak, did they push the cannon forward.
A burst of artillery fire knocked dozens of holes into the low walls of Fuli City, but it was not enough to destroy the walls - this was caused by the fact that the shells were not large enough, because the twenty Franc cannons were actually infantry guns, which were in the nature of field guns, not siege guns.
After a few rounds of artillery firing on Zheng Jun's side, he also discovered this problem and withdrew the cannon again.
However, the Zheng army did not continue to forcibly attack the city, but withdrew its troops for three miles and camped down.
Mo Yulin did not relax his vigilance, and seriously arranged the task of preparing for night attacks, but this night passed, Zheng Jun did not attack at night, which made Mo Yulin a little disappointed - night attacks were difficult in this year, and he planned to take advantage of Zheng Jun's night attacks to give them a little color.
On the second day, according to Mo Yulin's prediction, the Zheng army should make a big move and launch a fierce attack, but something unexpected happened, and the Zheng army actually pulled out the camp and began to retreat!
Mo Yulin was stunned at first, and then thought that the main force of the highly pragmatic Ming army had already moved south, and Zheng Jun Tanma learned the news, so Zheng Song would withdraw his troops.
But when I think about it, it seems that there is something that should not be. The Ming army will definitely go south, and Mo Yulin believes that Gao Pragmatic will not lie to him, but he doesn't think Gao Pragmatic will be in such a hurry. New Bayi Chinese Network first release m.. com
If he is highly pragmatic, he will not be in a hurry, and he can let Zheng Jun and Mo Jun fight a good battle in Henan, anyway, this battle is very important to both sides, and it is impossible for everyone to leave any spare strength.
When two tigers fight, one will be injured. No matter which side suffers, it is not a bad thing for him to be pragmatic, and it can even be said that losing both sides is the best ending, in this case, how could he come so quickly?
But the Zheng army did retreat, Mo Yulin sent a scout horse to investigate carefully, and found that the Zheng army not only retreated, but also went in a hurry, and did not even send troops to cover the battlefield in the rear, but the entire army went all the way south without looking back.
Isn't that right...... Mo Yulin thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Could it be that Ruan Ti succeeded in the surprise attack on Thanh Hoa?
Oh, it may be a little difficult to "succeed", Qinghua is the base camp of the Zheng army, the place where the Li Dynasty settled, even if the Zheng Song army went out, it must have left enough troops to guard, after all, when King Qian was there, he often engaged in this kind of frontal attack, sea raids, that Qinghua City is only twenty or thirty miles away from the mouth of the Zhu River (not the Pearl River of Liangguang), if you don't maintain enough troops in peacetime, you would have been attacked by King Qian a long time ago, how can there be these things now?
Then, there is only one possibility, Nguyen Ti is indeed attacking Thanh Hoa, maybe it is approaching, maybe it has already begun to attack, in short, Thanh Hoa is threatened - Thanh Hoa is even more important to the Li Dynasty, even more important than Thang Long to the Mo Dynasty, once Thanh Hoa is attacked, Zheng Song can't even withdraw his troops to help.
Attacking Thanh Hoa is a real attack on the Hou Li Dynasty!
Of course, there is also a possibility that Zheng Song is playing tricks with himself to lure the enemy, but that is meaningless, he just wants to defend Fuli City now, and win a merit in front of Gao Press, and then talk about it, anything else, that's all a later story, and now he is not in a hurry at all. 、
Mo Yulin smiled contentedly, first praised the generals under his command who were newly subsumed under his command, and then waved his hand and said, "Come on, report the victory to Shenglong!" ”
