Chapter 238: Li Zicheng besieged the city

On October 17 of the second year of Chongzhen, the weather was getting cooler and colder. The officers and soldiers took the Xiegu Pass as an incision, captured the Qishan camp, and carried out a flanking attack on the peasant army Li Yangchun's department, Li Yangchun was defeated, and under the response of the reinforcements, he crossed Fufeng County and fled back to Fengxiang in a hurry, and at this time the officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to take Fufeng County.

In just three days, the situation in Fengxiang Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes. Officers and soldiers attacked Fengxiang Mansion in a big way, and Qishan, Fufeng, and Xiegu were connected to form a line, forming a siege on the peasant army in Wugong County. In the current situation, as long as the peasant army is careless, the peasant army stationed in Wugong County may be completely wiped out.

Because the geographical location of Wugong County is very important, it can be said that it is an important rocker to jump from Fengxiang Mansion to Xi'an Mansion, since the attack on Xi'an Mansion, half of the soldiers and horses under Gao Yingxiang have been stationed here. If Wugong County is trapped and supplies cannot be delivered, the 60,000 troops around Wugong County will be eaten by officers and soldiers in less than half a month. When the time comes, the officers and men do not need to fight, and the peasant army will fall into civil strife.

Sometimes I was afraid of what would come, only one day later, the officers and soldiers stationed in Fufeng County and Xiegu Pass divided some manpower and launched a strong attack on the county, the county wall was very low, easy to attack and difficult to defend, just two hours, the 2,000 peasant troops stationed in the county had no choice but to retreat in the direction of Wugong County. In this way, the officers and soldiers completely blocked the material supply channel of the peasant army in Wugong County. At this moment, Gao Yingxiang was completely panicked.

The situation deteriorated too quickly, and even if Niu Venus was scheming, it was a little too much to deal with. Half of the troops under his command can be gathered near Wugong County, and if this force is swallowed by officers and soldiers, it will be a heavy loss. Gao Yingxiang said that it was impossible to let these soldiers and horses be buried in Wugong County, but at the moment, the supplies could not be sent, so what could they do?

Sitting on the seat and thinking for a long time, Gao Yingxiang patted his hand heavily, and said sharply: "It seems that there is no good way now, Wugong County is unavoidable, we can only let Hua Xiaorong lead the troops to evacuate Wugong County, and then we will cooperate with the attack on Fufeng County, open a gap, and respond to the withdrawal of tens of thousands of brothers." ”

In Gao Yingxiang's mind, his method is very safe. The tens of thousands of brothers in Wugong County, plus the people they sent, attacked a Fufeng County, is it not a hand-holder? As long as a gap is opened and those tens of thousands of people are withdrawn, all the previous efforts of the officers and men will be in vain. As long as the soldiers and horses in his hands are gathered, can he still be trapped in this world?

Without thinking about it, Niu Jinxing, who had not spoken, immediately got up, and arched his hand a little anxiously: "King Chuang, don't do it!" ”

"Huh? Why not? Do you want to see those tens of thousands of brothers trapped to death by officers and soldiers? Gao Yingxiang was puzzled and even a little angry. Niu Jinxing couldn't care about these anymore, and said with a wry smile: "King Chuang, think about it, the officers and soldiers are so tossed in Fengxiang Mansion, so can the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Yang He's command have any movement?" He was waiting for the defense of Wugong County to be weak, and then the army would attack. ”

"And King Chuang, haven't you forgotten how the king was defeated a few days ago? The cavalry that couldn't get rid of the flowers was stationed in the east of Qishan, and they stopped moving, probably waiting for the opportunity to kill the killer. Once the soldiers and horses of Wugong County stay under Fufeng City for too long, and the cavalry that can't get rid of the flowers arrives, the situation will be unimaginable..... Unless, King Chuang is willing to send our cavalry to entangle the ...... of Tuo Buhua."

"This" Gao Yingxiang thought about it carefully, and suddenly went from head to toe. Wang Zi's army defeated Sanshui County, but in the final analysis, he was defeated by the elite cavalry. It was an elite cavalry crisscrossing the Mongolian steppe, not to mention the skill of archery and horses, and there was also a heavy cavalry that killed people without blinking. How terrible this cavalry is, Gao Yingxiang has seen it himself.

If the soldiers and horses of Wugong County can't take Fufeng County in half a day, they will become the souls of this cavalry under the knife, and Gao Yingxiang trembled in his heart when he thought of the picture of the tiger entering the flock.

Indeed, he also raised a cavalry during this time in the northwest, but this cavalry only has 2,000 people, and he has not experienced actual combat, which is an opponent who can't get rid of it? finally raised a cavalry, but before he grew up, he stumbled with the elite cavalry who couldn't get rid of it, this kind of death-seeking behavior, Gao Yingxiang couldn't do it.

Gao Yingxiang is really reluctant, he doesn't raise cavalry, and he never knows how expensive the cavalry is. It is no exaggeration to say that one cavalry tops ten infantry. The materials and training time required for cavalry training are manpower-consuming and unimaginable. Infantry, just recruit people and give them a meal, but cavalry can't, and war horses are even rarer.

If you can't take Fufeng County in time, not only will you face the threat of the Wuhua cavalry, but if Wugong County is taken down by the officers and soldiers again, the consequences will be unimaginable. In this way, the soldiers and horses of Wugong County really can't move, so they can only transfer troops from Fengxiang's side.

"Mr. Niu, what is your plan for the current situation?"

Niu Jinxing smiled bitterly and sighed: "Miao Ce doesn't dare to say it, it's a stupid way, it depends on whether the king is reluctant to give up." Now that Qishan has been lost, Fufeng County and Xiegu Pass are also occupied by officers and soldiers, our idea of attacking Xi'an Mansion has completely failed, and in this case, the garrison of Duyangshan has also lost its meaning. In this case, it is better to withdraw Du Yangshan's soldiers and horses, so that not only do you not have to worry about the officers and soldiers threatening Du Yangshan, but also deliberately send an extra elite army to attack Fufeng County. Then, with Li Tianwang as the general, we will lead a heavy army not to defend against the official road between Qishan and Fufeng, as long as we block the surprise attack of the cavalry of the Tobuhua Division, we can attack Fufeng County with peace of mind. ”

"Evacuate Duyang Mountain?" Gao Yingxiang muttered to himself, to be honest, he was really reluctant to Du Yangshan, in order to attack Du Yangshan, he had tried his best and killed many brothers. But Niu Jinxing's words are very reasonable, next, there is little hope of attacking Xi'an Mansion, why do you still occupy Du Yangshan, as the target of officers and soldiers?

"Withdraw, order Li Zicheng to lead his troops to withdraw from Duyang Mountain and attack Fufeng County instead. In addition, someone tried to find a way to send a letter to Wugong County, and ordered Hua Xiaorong to restrain his brothers, not to mess up, and to guard Wugong County. Let him wait for the news of Fufeng County, at least until Fufeng County is not taken, Wugong County cannot afford to lose, otherwise, the officers and soldiers will use Wugong County and Fufeng County as horns and attack from both sides, and those tens of thousands of brothers will suffer. ”

The order was quickly sent out, although the officers and soldiers were stationed in Fufeng County, cutting off the supply channel from Fengxiang to Wugong, but it was still easy for one or two people to pass through Fufeng County to deliver news.

Wugong County, Hua Xiaorong looked at the order in his hand, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. Now that Wugong County is full of surplus food, it is only enough for two days, what should I do next? King Chuang asked his brothers to be restrained, but how could this matter be so easy? Looking at the meaning of King Chuang, if he can't break through Fufeng County for a long time, then the tens of thousands of brothers in Wugong County will learn from Yuan Ma and open their mouths to eat people.

Once you eat people, something will inevitably happen.

In the world, not all hungry people are willing to become Yuan Ma, not to mention, Yuan Ma's guy eats people because he is hungry?

Hey, I hope that the people sent by King Chuang can take down Fufeng County as soon as possible, as long as there is a gap, the tens of thousands of brothers in Wugong County will have a way to live.
