Chapter 249: Feint

In Changsha Mansion, in the tent of the thieves, Li Dingguo was convening the generals to discuss the military situation.

After Li Dingguo led his men and horses to Changsha Mansion, the first two days were just besieging the city, causing pressure on the officers and soldiers, and on the third day, he divided his 10,000 men into five groups, and launched an attack on Changsha City in turn.

After five hours of continuous attack, the thieves suffered heavy casualties, and three or four thousand people had fallen, but Li Dingguo remained unmoved.

Due to the inability to capture Changsha City for a long time, the thieves and generals were very depressed, and the morale in the barracks was very poor, which can be described as low.

A rogue general ran over and said with a crying voice: "Major General, let's withdraw, the brothers can't stand it, the casualties are too great!" ”

"Yes, Major General, we only have 10,000 people and want to take Changsha City, which is not realistic!"

"Major General, the officers and soldiers from Yuezhou, Changde and other places have rushed here, and it will be too late if we don't retreat!"

A group of generals persuaded one after another, very afraid of being dumplings made by officers and soldiers.

Li Dingguo's face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "You dare to mess with our army's heart!" ”

After speaking, he pulled out his sword and killed the first thief general who cried, and said: "If there is anyone who disturbs the heart of our army, kill!" ”

The generals in the battalion were silent for a moment, and the major general was known for his strict management of the army, especially the old battalion soldiers in his headquarters, who were the elite of all the rebel troops.

Li Dingguo sighed in his heart and said: This general is also forced to do it, if we don't do enough to attack the city, we will definitely not be able to deceive the dog officers and soldiers, and then we will not be able to get out of this vast land.

Li Dingguo walked out of the camp tent, looked at Changsha City in the distance, only to hear the sound of killing shocking the sky, he took out the command flag and waved, the army of thieves besieging the city retreated like a tide, and the next group of thieves rushed up.

In the city of Changsha, a sentry raised a spear and shouted: "The musketeers stand back, and the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen step forward, and stab hard!" ”

The sentry kept shaking the spear in his hand, stabbing the thieves who were besieging the city frantically, stabbing and scolding while stabbing: "Stab you house armor mother, why don't the thieves die this time, brothers kill me!" ”

The two sides fought each other on the wall, and they were all angry, only to see an officer and soldier cut down a rogue soldier, and before he could react, he was pierced by a spear from behind, revealing the bloody spearhead from behind.

"Dead mother!" This officer and soldier were also ruthless enough, and they directly pounced on the thieves and fell off the city wall together.

Most of the defenders of Changsha City were the Tuntian soldiers trained by the original Changsha Wei after dividing the fields, and most of these Tuntian soldiers were locals, because they got fifty acres of land, and they were afraid that the thieves would occupy Changsha Mansion and take away their own fields, so they were very desperate.

Pang Yuanfei, the head of the Tianwu Legion who was in charge of defending the city, was standing on the city tower with his hands in his hands, scanning the fierce battle around him.

Pang Yuanfei was the regimental commander of the First Division of the Tianwu Army, subordinate to Huang Degong's subordinates, stationed in Changsha Mansion to be responsible for the training of Changsha Wei's Tuntian soldiers, and at the same time responsible for suppressing all unstable factors in Changsha Mansion.

A battalion commander beside Pang Yuanfei said: "General, it's been five hours since the crazy attack of the thieves who are not in a hurry to be killed or wounded, and the Tuntian soldiers have suffered great casualties!" Why don't we let the Tianwu Army go out to fight them in the field and repel them? ”

This battalion commander firmly believes that a regiment of 1,300 Tianwu Army in the city, as long as they go into battle, after a few rounds of firepower, the opponent's offensive will inevitably collapse!

Pang Yuanfei didn't look back, his eyes didn't retract, and he said without emotion: "Such a good opportunity, it's rare for the Tuntian soldiers to see blood, and besides, this is just a thief, we used Tartar to practice our hands at the beginning!" ”

At that moment, there was a great confusion on the city wall, and someone shouted: "Another thief has burst in." ”

"Big head, be careful! You mother, Lao Tzu fought with you! ”

Pang Yuanfei took a closer look and saw that a section of the walled wall had been rushed up by thieves, and a large number of thieves with turbans had climbed the city wall and began to fight with the Tuntian soldiers in the city.

"I want to see how capable this thief is!" Pang Yuanfei shouted, and directly pulled out the matching knife, like a mad tiger, dancing the steel knife in his hand, and killing the rogue.

Pang Yuanfei's dozens of guards also began to reload the medicine, and the platoon shot mercilessly at the thieves who attacked the city wall.

The general escort of this regiment is the elite of the various regiments of the Tianwu Army, they have been in battle for a long time, they are calm, and the attack is orderly, and the rogue who attacked the city wall was knocked down by a shot before they could gain a firm foothold.

The soldiers around him shouted: "The general is brave! The Tianwu Army is mighty! ”

From a small piece of shouting, it didn't take long for the entire city wall to shout, and for a while, the defenders were like rainbows, which showed the soul position of the Tianwu Army in the hearts of the Tuntian soldiers.

With the encouragement of Pang Yuanfei and the escort team, the morale of the soldiers defending the city soared, and they quickly drove the bandits off the wall, and repelled another attack.

Li Dingguo looked at the time, and now it was almost unitary, and he secretly said in his heart: "The righteous army has been attacking for such a long time, and the officers and soldiers around it have been mobilized, and the time is almost up, and there will be casualties if they attack again." ”

Li Dingguo waved the order flag and said: "Order, collect the troops!" ”

After receiving the order to collect the troops, all the generals in the battalion breathed a sigh of relief, if the major general just went down again, I am afraid that a few of them would have to find another way out.

When the defenders saw the thieves quickly withdraw, there was a cheer from the city......

That night, a group of Long Xiang visited the camp of thieves at night, trying to take the opportunity to sneak in and do something, but they found that the camp of thieves stationed several miles outside the city was empty.

After dark that night, Li Dingguo led his troops to retreat quietly and rushed to the direction of Chenzhou, and after several days of pursuit, he finally successfully rendezvoused with Zhang Xianzhong at Wutong Mountain.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was half dead and was going crazy everywhere, and Li Dingguo inquired and found out that Sun Kewang had surrendered and became a big official!

"Lao Tzu was really blind back then, and adopted him as a righteous son!" Zhang Xianzhong's angry roar echoed in the mountains.

Zhang Xianzhong's current situation is very difficult, originally nearly 100,000 horses, but now he has been beaten to less than 10,000 people, and even his most trusted righteous son Kewang has become a traitor.

The weather gradually became colder, Zhang Xianzhong, who was freezing in the ravine, felt a biting chill, but he still did not surrender, not for anything else, surrender is also divided into high and low, Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing took the initiative to surrender first, if they surrendered, they would surrender passively, and the treatment would definitely not be as good as them, which Zhang Xianzhong could never accept.

There are many mountains in Huguang and Jiangxi, and Zhang Xianzhong did not dare to take the official road of the plains in the Huguang region, so he could only walk deep in the mountains and old forests, avoiding the siege of officers and soldiers.

After losing his temper, Zhang Xianzhong drank a few more sips of spirits and said helplessly: "Let's go as planned!" ”

No matter how hard he carries it, he must also solve the problem of eating and drinking and plan for the future, Zhang Xianzhong understands that there is no way out if he stays in the mountains, he must go out, implement it according to the original plan, and go to Sichuan!
