232 Negotiations without good faith
Contrary to Kaifeng, Yuan Zongdi is full of hope. Along the way, he kept urging his troops.
"Hurry up, run for me!"
"Didn't you eat? Hurry up, run fast for me again! β
"Throw the artillery away for me, and it's not to attack the city, come back and get it again!"
"I've lost all the irrelevant things, damn it, what about you, the one who took the blame!"
ββ¦β¦β
Yuan Zong was in a hurry, and his subordinates were naturally in a hurry, urging those thieves to run quickly.
When I arrived at the Yellow River, I turned my head to look at seven or eight long dragons, wading across the river in unison, and I couldn't see the head and tail.
And there are thieves and fast horses, and they keep coming back letters, informing Yuan Zongdi of the latest battle situation on the front line.
"Hurry, hurry!" Yuan Zongdi heard Kuaima say that the official army was desperately fleeing to the northeast, so he couldn't help but urge again.
Originally, the troops on the north bank of the Yellow River were attacked by the official army, and after the losses were a little too much, they immediately pursued, but they did not expect to encounter an ambush by the infantry army, which can be said to be quite heavy losses.
The same is true, Niu Wancai's side can only chase, and the cavalry fights, but they can't leave this official army.
However, the good news was that Yuan Zongdi had sent all the cavalry for reinforcements. The cavalry is required to block the retreat of the imperial court officers and soldiers, and give the main infantry a chance to catch up, and at that time, they will be able to completely annihilate this imperial court official army!
Under the urging of Yuan Zongdi and others, this army of thieves really had to be released. Throw away everything you can, and run as hard as you can with weapons that you can't throw away.
At this time, the advantage of cavalry is reflected. If they were all cavalry, they would be highly mobile, and there would be no need to be so desperate at all.
When Yuan Zongdi arrived at Chenqiao Town, he saw that all his men were killed and wounded, and the houses were all on fire.
Obviously, after being raided by the imperial court, Niu Wancai didn't have time to put out the fire and settle the casualties, so he was in a hurry to pursue.
When Yuan Zongdi rushed to Zhujiazhai again, he found that this was another battlefield, and the number of dead and wounded was even greater, including many war horses, or hit lead bullets, or arrows, and those who did not die were still wailing there.
"Damn, this time I'm going to let them run again, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Yuan!" Yuan Zongdi was furious and immediately swore an oath.
At this time, another fast rider returned from the front line, and when he saw where the handsome flag was, he ran to report to Yuan Zongdi.
It is said that the more than 4,000 cavalry troops who have newly reinforced have gone around the road of the imperial court's official army to the north, and the group of officers and troops continued to break through to the north about three miles of road and stopped, with their backs to the Yellow River, trying to die and struggle.
Yuan Zong was overjoyed when he heard it for the first time, and he couldn't wait for the grinding of his infantry troops, so he asked his subordinates to take them, and he led the rest of the cavalry to hurry up and rush to the battlefield.
About an hour later, sure enough, I heard the sound of shouting and killing in front of me, as well as the sound of firearms.
This side is a plain area, which was formed by the impact of the Yellow River over many years, and it is considered fertile land. However, none of this has anything to do with the current war.
After Yuan Zongdi hurried for a while, he finally rushed to the battlefield.
When Niu Wancai saw Yuan Zongdi's handsome flag moving, he immediately rushed over to greet him, and said excitedly: "Big brother, I finally caught this slippery big fish!" β
Yuan Zongdi saw that he was so happy, and couldn't help but sink his face and shouted: "See for yourself, how many people have you lost?" When the general knows, I can't even deal with it! β
The general is Li Zicheng. King Chuang or something, it's outdated.
As soon as he heard this, Niu Wancai came back to his senses, and remembered that his subordinates had indeed suffered heavy losses, so he scratched his head, pointed to the battlefield in the distance and said: "Big brother, it's okay, everywhere is a big fish, the general will definitely understand!" β
Speaking of this, seeing that Yuan Zongdi seemed to want to train him, he hurriedly said: "Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, Li Fuming, and that Tang Tong, all of them are all famous, at the beginning, even the generals were afraid of them......"
"Enough!" Yuan Zong first heard that the more he talked, the more he didn't like it, so he shouted coldly and interrupted him: "If you want to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will whip you?" "Mobile phone terminal one second rememberγ' for you \ for \ wonderful novels\ reading
This general under his command is good at everything, but he is afraid of taking responsibility and can't carry things. When I heard that I was going to reprimand him, I didn't even ask him about it, so I thought about finding a reason!
Yuan Zongdi naturally didn't know that in the original history, after Jianyu was put into the pass by Wu Sangui, the Dashun army was defeated again and again, and after losing Hunan, this Niu Wancai couldn't bear the pressure, betrayed him, and took refuge in Jianyu.
At this time, Niu Wancai didn't dare to talk back, so he had to point to the distance and said flatteringly: "Big brother, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, I don't want to eat it, keep it for my eldest brother, and it's easy to talk when I turn back to the general." β
Yuan Zongdi couldn't say anything about him anymore, after all, he was his right-hand man, so he didn't say anything more and drove his horse close to the battlefield.
Sure enough, on the bank of the Yellow River, a group of imperial court officers and soldiers, under the banners of "Wu", "Bai", "Tang", "Ma", and "Li", hid behind a small number of partial vans as covers, and formed a formation with their backs to the Yellow River.
"Big brother, these officers and soldiers are powerful with firearms and bows and arrows, I have tried a few times, but I can't drive them down the river!" When Niu Wancai said this, he gritted his teeth a little, obviously a little helpless about this turtle shell.
Yuan Zongdi ignored him and looked at the battlefield.
He was able to send out a total of more than 7,000 cavalry troops, all of whom were here, and surrounded this officer army tightly. But it's impossible to beat it down.
After looking at it for a while, Yuan Zongdi asked, "Did they try to cross the river?" β
It is the dry season of the Yellow River, and many places can wade through it. However, in the following July and August, the rainy season arrives, and at that time, it is not easy to cross the river.
"I'm chasing them all the way, and that's a chance to cross the river!" When Niu Wancai heard this, he hurriedly expressed his merits.
When Yuan Zong heard it for the first time, he glanced at him and said, "I said that after being surrounded here, did they try to cross the river?" β
"Big brother, I calculated that I couldn't cross the river here, so I let the cavalry block them here." Niu Wancai heard this, and hurriedly replied, "After the cavalry reinforcements came up, they fled all the way north, which is really a bad one." Well, from that side all the way to here, at least three miles away, before finally blocking them, there is no way to escape! β
Yuan Zongdi listened, looked back, and then turned his head to stare at the court officials and soldiers, frowning and thinking.
This time the battle was something neither side expected. On his side, after being suddenly attacked, he reacted quickly and bit this officer and army, so that there was no food and grass or anything. The only ration, estimated to be a little that I carried with me, couldn't last long.
And the court officers and soldiers on the other side must not have expected their side to react so quickly, so that they were blocked here, and there was no food and grass at all. They want to hold on, but they can't hold on for long.
Therefore, they are afraid that before the main infantry arrives, they will break through desperately. The cavalry army under his command has already lost a lot before, but it can't be lost more.
Thinking so, Yuan Zongdi instructed Niu Wancai: "Send someone over to recruit you, no matter what the conditions, agree first and then say, stabilize them!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the side of the imperial court officials and soldiers, Wu Sangui and others also gathered together to watch the thief army that caught up.
Among them, Tang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We finally did not violate the military order of the national prince, the area in front is hilly, and the Yellow River over there is full of reeds, is it right here?" β
"That's right, this is it, otherwise why would we have to kill these three miles desperately!" Li Fuming heard this and immediately agreed.
When Wu Sangui heard them speak, he didn't turn his head to look at them, but stared at the thieves and said, "According to the arrangement of the Guogong, the next step is to wait for the main force of the thief infantry army to arrive, and then wait for work and annihilate them in one fell swoop." But before that, to stabilize these rogue cavalry, it is important not to let them have the heart to send scouts to check the surrounding situation. β
When Bai Guangen heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "That's not simple, we will send someone over, saying that we want to surrender and discuss the conditions with them." They have been chasing us for so long, and when they see that we are going to surrender, they are still looking for a fart. β
When Ma Ke heard this, he immediately agreed: "This idea can be used, the most effortless!" β
Several other people listened and agreed, so they decided to use this trick to delay the army.
As a result, to their surprise, the envoy had just been sent here, and the thief had also sent a messenger.
One is to surrender, and the other is to surrender, it seems that Wang Ba is really going to mung bean.
Unexpectedly, the officials and soldiers began to raise prices all over the world, and the thieves did not bargain.
So, the official army changed its statement again, you are so generous, there must be a problem;
As a result, Yuan Zongdi changed his tune again and began to bargain.
In this way, both sides began negotiations without the slightest sincerity.
About two hours later, the main vanguard of the infantry on the thief's side finally caught up. But one by one, these thieves were like hot and smoking dogs, sticking out their tongues, and they almost lay down without getting tired.
When Niu Wancai saw it, he spat at the official army with a "bah", and then turned his head to Yuan Zongdi and said: "It's not interesting to talk about it at all, if you can talk about a result, there will be a ghost!" Anyway, the infantry army has arrived, let's do it? β
Yuan Zongdi himself felt the same way, and when he nodded and was about to speak, he was suddenly stunned.
On his side, he spent time negotiating perfunctorily, in order to wait for the main force of the infantry army to arrive. However, what are the officials and soldiers of the court trying to do?
With such insincere negotiations, he didn't believe that with those five famous figures, he wouldn't be able to see it?
Thinking about it like this, Yuan Zongdi immediately felt that there seemed to be something wrong!
At this moment, he was in his line of sight, and saw a horse galloping towards him in the distance. He was still shouting over there, and although he couldn't hear it clearly, he seemed to be very anxious.
