364 Wu Sangui's quick wit
It is estimated that there are 780,000 thieves and rebels, and the camp tents are densely packed outside the city, and I don't know how wide. So many enemies collapsed so quickly!
The scene in front of him was really shocking to these defenders who were originally desperate at the head of the city!
In their opinion, even the cavalry did have an advantage on the plains. However, after all, the imperial court reinforcements were only about 50,000! And on the side of the rebels and the thieves, if they all add up, there are still this number, or even more cavalry!
Even if these outside the city are full of pigs, standing still and letting the imperial cavalry attack and slash, they won't be able to cut much at this moment.
Now, however, the entire plain, as far as the eye can see, is filled with scattered thieves fleeing.
Seriously, a lot of people can't figure it out!
"What the hell is going on? Wasn't it very fierce when they attacked our city? ”
"Yes, although it is true that there are some things that are not good, but after so many days of fighting, I can also feel that the thief army outside the city is not easy to deal with!"
"That's right, don't say anything else, just those thieves, Li Zicheng's subordinates who are the head of the thieves, are really elite, I dare to guarantee! But, look at them, what's that called? Flee when you hear the wind? ”
"It's really surprising, the imperial cavalry didn't kill them, and they collapsed themselves. And do you see that? It's strange that so many people have surrendered, and it looks like they know the way they know! ”
"Where are you looking, the rogue cavalry that has fled, over there, do you see it? It's not that he has already escaped, why did he stay again? Seeing that there is no, it seems that they want to surrender! ”
“……”
This scene is really incomprehensible to them. For this reason, they turned to be surprised at the origin of this imperial reinforcement.
After all, they are at the head of the city, and outside the city are hundreds of thousands of thieves, and outside, there are imperial court reinforcements, which are too far away, and the banner or something is difficult to see clearly. Not to mention, where the handsome flag is, it is even more far away from the battlefield, and if you want to see it clearly at the head of the city, unless it is a clairvoyant!
"You say, what kind of reinforcement is this imperial court reinforcement? Among the imperial court troops, it should be the Qin army, right? However, this can't be under the command of Governor Sun! ”
"By the way, don't you forget, isn't there a Guanning Iron Cavalry over there in Liaodong? In the past, I also ran after thieves! ”
"Hehe, Guan Ning Tieqi? Don't we have one in the city? In the past, it was said that it was still Ning Yuan's general soldiers, but now! ”
"I can't say that, the bad guys are here to reinforce our Shudi. It's just that there are too few soldiers and horses brought, and Li Zicheng's thieves are powerful. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements, maybe we wouldn't have been able to insist on the arrival of reinforcements, so how could you gossip here! ”
"That's right, although Vice General Wu has been recuperating from his injuries since he was injured, his credit is still obvious to all!"
"Hehe, it's also unlucky, so I didn't die, I was shot in the thigh by the thief army, and I almost hurt there."
“……”
The so-called Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and sometimes, it was true.
Just as they were discussing Wu Sangui, they saw a bamboo couch being carried up to the city by a group of soldiers. The person on the couch was still urging: "Hurry up, hurry, hurry!" ”
Liu Zhibo heard the movement, turned his head to look, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Vice General Wu, why are you here, don't affect your injuries!" ”
The person on the couch was Wu Sangui, who was sent by Zhang Mingwei before. After hearing Liu Zhibo's words, he didn't care at all and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" I heard that the imperial court reinforcements are coming? ”
"Hehe, yes, it's coming, the imperial reinforcements are coming!" When Liu Zhibo heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I won the battle in the blink of an eye, and I don't know who led this support army, it's really amazing!" ”
Wu Sangui's injuries are actually not as serious as outsiders think!
His injuries were more than half healed just half a month ago.
However, when winter comes, he also thinks that even if the imperial court reinforcements will rush to Shu to rescue, it will at least wait until the beginning of spring next year.
However, the situation in Shu is so grim. If he goes out into battle with injuries, not to mention the question of whether he can win the battle, just because the thief army is in full swing, the more than 4,000 cavalry troops he leads may be exhausted.
Rather than this, it is better to continue to recuperate, anyway, the battle to defend the city will not need cavalry!
When you really can't hold it, break through with cavalry, and a little more troops will be safer.
Based on this plan, he didn't worry about the city defense at all. It's just that he secretly sent people to keep an eye on it, and once he couldn't hold Chengdu, he immediately led the cavalry to break through, and by the way, he brought the king of Shu, Lord Zhongcheng or something, it was already possible.
However, he never expected that there would be some time before the spring was left, and the imperial court reinforcements would come. Hearing this, he immediately paid attention to the fighting outside his city.
After all, he was a veteran of the battlefield, and just listening to the movements, he almost guessed what the battle situation was, and this time, he couldn't stay at once. When his men hurried back to tell the truth, he immediately came to the city to see what was going on.
At this time, hearing Liu Zhibo's words, Wu Sangui was also a little curious, thinking about where did the imperial court get the 50,000 cavalry?
When he left Kaifeng, there were only about 20,000 cavalry troops under the command of Xingguogong.
Therefore, when Wu Sangui first started, he didn't think of Zhang Mingwei's side.
Looking up, after seeing the situation outside the city, Wu Sangui was immediately stunned, and then, he stared at the handsome banner in the distance, looked at the situation of the thief's cavalry, and looked at it, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "Guogong, it's Guogong, Guogong personally led the army!" ”
Hearing this, Qin Liangyu, who ignored him, immediately turned his head and said in surprise: "How is this possible? ”
When Liu Zhibo heard this, he also nodded and agreed: "The Duke of the Kingdom is so noble, how can he venture through Shu Dao before the beginning of spring, this is impossible!" ”
He has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has never seen someone with such an identity as a Guogong, no, even if it is not the identity of Guogong, just an ordinary feudal official, it is impossible to take such a big risk!
Wu Sangui actually agrees with their statement. However, although he couldn't see the banner in the distance, he was sure that it was definitely Guogong who personally led the army.
Thinking like this, he didn't want to be verbose with the two in front of him, so he wanted to behave well in front of Guogong. Even at this time, the battlefield outside the city is actually coming to an end.
However, as soon as Wu Sangui held the edge with both hands and wanted to jump down, he suddenly thought of a question, and was a little dumbfounded.
I have been pretending to be injured and sick, and when I suddenly saw that Guogong was coming, I was able to ride a horse and lead the troops to fight. So what will these officials here in Chengdu think? If he let Guogong know about it, what would he think?
A good Wu Sangui, worthy of being battle-hardened, ruthless to the enemy and ruthless to himself, he immediately thought of a ruthless idea.
I saw that he immediately secretly lucked his strength, as if he was constipated, and he was working hard.
When Liu Zhibo saw it, he was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Vice General Wu, what's wrong with you?" Do you want to go to the toilet? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was a little dumbfounded, staring at Wu Sangui's pants and said, "You are peeing...... ...... pee"
He was going to say, you pee your pants. But it's a civil official, so it's too undignified to speak like this, so I stuttered and didn't say it.
Wu Sangui had already loosened his grip at this time, and immediately explained: "I was injured just now, and the wound seems to have collapsed!" ”
Qin Liangyu turned his head to look at it, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and bandage Vice General Wu, if you don't do it, it will be fatal!" ”
When Wu Sangui's personal guards heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately carried Wu Sangui, and they didn't dare to go back to bandage again, but went to the arrow tower to bandage.
As soon as he left, Qin Liangyu asked Liu Zhibo: "Will it really be the Duke of the Kingdom himself?" ”
In today's Ming Dynasty, there are such court officials who disregard the danger, she really didn't expect it.
But Liu Zhibo has never seen Xingguo Gong, and he has no way to answer Qin Liangyu's question.
But at this time, there was no need for him to answer, and I saw a shout from far outside the city: "The prince of the country has an order, kneel and throw away the blade to avoid death!" The national government has a decree ......"
This shout was only vague at first, but it was shouted from the side of Shuai Qi first. Then, throughout the battlefield, the court cavalry who were chasing the scattered and fleeing thief army also shouted together: "The prince of the country has an order, kneel and throw away the blade to avoid death!" The national government has a decree ......"
At this moment, almost all outside Chengdu City was filled with the sound of shouting surrender, and even overshadowed the sound of horses' hooves.
When the thieves who fled in all directions heard this, they were reminded that they did not run anymore, but quickly gasped for breath, threw down their swords and knelt down in surrender. Some of them were so tired of running that they couldn't kneel on their knees, so they just lay down there.
Of course, there are some who can escape quickly, and naturally they can escape as far as they can.
Most of these fast escapers were on horseback, and they were the leaders of the bandits. Ordinary soldiers without horses naturally can't escape the pursuit of the imperial court cavalry!
Seeing this situation, Liu Zhibo couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed: "It's over, haha, win!" ”
At this moment, a voice sounded loudly behind him: "What are you still giggling for?" Hurry up and get ready, let's go to meet the prince of Xingguo! ”
Liu Zhibo turned around to look, but found that it was Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan. Before, he found that he was disheveled, so he rushed back to put on his official robe.
It is estimated that when he first came, he heard the shouts outside the city, and knew that it was Xingguo Gong who personally led the army to come, so he said this.
When Liu Zhibo heard this, he immediately nodded again and again: "Let's go, go and welcome the Duke of Xingguo into the city!" ”
When Qin Liangyu heard this, he hurriedly called Qin Yiming, led the troops with her, escorted the two civil officials out of the city, and rushed to meet the Duke of Xingguo!
At the same time, she was also very curious in her heart, what kind of character is this Xingguo Gong?
