Chapter 454: Soldiers Coming to Yangzhou (Third Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )

There are only two options in front of Wen Muan.

One is to fight to the death, and the other is to surrender by deception.

Scams require a lot of risk, but the results are good, and they may be done once and for all.

But the rule of death needs to be sharpened a little bit, and even if it is held, it will be a miserable victory.

Wen Muan was very embarrassed.

"Wen Fuzun, you have something to say."

"yes, what the hell should I do, you can give everyone a good word."

"Wen Fuzun, as long as you give an order, we will definitely serve the dead."

Wen Mu'an thought for a long time before sighing, "The risk of fraudulent surrender is too high. Prepare to fight your way out. ”

Hearing Wen Muan's decision, all the generals felt a little disappointed.

But Wen Mu'an is the person who talks about Yangzhou Mansion after all, and he pats the board, so it is naturally difficult for others to say much.

In the upcoming war, they can only fight hard.

...

...

"Your Majesty, there is Yangzhou City in front."

The distance from Nanjing to Yangzhou is not far, and Zhu Youlang launched nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Yangzhou, which is enough to see the importance attached to Yangzhou.

"Well, let's order the army to camp first."

Zhu Youlang knew very well in his heart that a big city like Yangzhou City would not be easy to fight, so there was no need to rush this day and a half.

After recuperating and recuperating, you can attack the city again tomorrow morning.

"Obey the order!"

Li Dingguo and Zhao Xu hugged their fists one after another.

...

...

The Ming army camped in array, and the whole large array was in the shape of plum blossoms.

A group of people held the moon in the shape of stars, and guarded Zhu Youlang in the middle of the camp.

It was dinner time, Zhu Youlang summoned Li Dingguo, Zhao Xu and others, and the monarch and ministers discussed the next plans while eating.

"Your Majesty, our army will launch an offensive early tomorrow morning, and the minister and General Li can attack one city gate separately, and the remaining two city gates will be feints, what does Your Majesty think?"

"Yes."

Zhu Youlang nodded: "King Jin and Chief Zhao are absolutely trustworthy. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier of the Tiger Ben Army rushed into the tent and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Oh no, the enemy is attacking! ”

Zhao Xu glared at him fiercely and said, "Presumptuous! How can there be so no rules in front of Your Majesty! What the hell is going on, carefully say. ”

"Two armies of men and horses came from the north and two from the south, and they rushed straight towards our camp as if they were about to attack at night."

"In other words, there has not been a fight yet, so you are talking nonsense here, it sounds like the enemy army has already attacked the camp!"

After all, in front of the Holy Driver, Zhao Xu must maintain the dignity of the Son of Heaven.

If everyone were like this soldier and rushed into the holy car, then the rules would all be out of order.

"I came to ask you, I may see how many soldiers and horses the enemy is coming."

Zhu Youlang didn't want to scare the soldier, so he tried his best to make his tone as gentle as possible.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, it's too dark for the villain to see clearly. However, judging by the sound of horses' hooves, there are at least tens of thousands of people. ”

Tens of thousands...

Zhu Youlang's heart sank, and he was a little surprised.

So many people have not been killed from the city, it must be that the Qing army has moved to save the soldiers.

To the north of Yangzhou is Huai'an, and to the south is Changzhou and Susong.

These two support armies should have come from these directions.

"King Jin and General Zhao will go out with me to have a look."

Zhu Youlang didn't care about eating, so he got up and lifted the curtain and walked out.

It was already dark, and the Ming army had to use torches to see the situation in the vicinity.

Although Zhu Youlang has a monocular, he does not have night vision.

Like everyone else, he could only see with the naked eye by the reflection of the torches.

Judging by what has been seen so far, it seems that the enemy forces are not in a hurry to attack? Rather, it cruises around the periphery.

The enemy army is all cavalry, so they have a basis for advancing and retreating, and they have the initiative on the battlefield.

The Ming army responded to all changes with the same.

The enemy is not moving? I don't move.

Zhu Youlang asked Li Dingguo: "What does the King of Jin think the enemy army is?" ”

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "Is it foolish to be a minister? The Tartars did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. Maybe they came for reinforcements but didn't time it? Now I can't get into the city. ”

Zhu Youlang nodded, Li Dingguo's analysis was not unreasonable.

Yangzhou is an important town, and the Qing army guards will definitely ask for help as soon as they learn that the Ming army will attack Yangzhou.

Is there just a time lag in this? And the Ming army is on a rapid march again? The speed of the march was estimated to be much faster than the Qing army expected.

In this case, it is likely to go behind the Ming army.

This led to the embarrassing situation that the Qing army finally rushed to the outside of Yangzhou, but encountered the Ming army.

At this time, it is definitely impossible for the guards of Yangzhou City to open the city gate and let the reinforcements enter the city, otherwise what if the Ming army follows into the city?

It is estimated that the Qing army reinforcements also know this? Can't walk or not? You can only hesitate on the periphery when to strike.

This is a good opportunity for the Ming army.

If you wait until the Qing army and reinforcements in Yangzhou City join forces? That's not easy.

Now the Ming army can take advantage of the opportunity to break through individually.

"Your Majesty? Please take the initiative? Wrong one is the sharpness of the enemy. ”

"Your Majesty? The minister also asked for war. ”

"Okay, I cheer for King Jin and General Zhao Bing."

Zhu Youlang grabbed the drum hammer from his hands, and then walked to the drum and beat it.

Li Dingguo and Zhao Xu led 10,000 cavalry out of the battle, and the wandering Qing soldiers were shocked.

Originally, they were still waiting, but now they have to fight.

Two people, one south and one north? Plunge into the enemy line and tear a huge gap.

In comparison, the cavalry under Li Dingguo is sharper? Therefore, the damage to the enemy army is greater.

"Kill!"

Li Dingguo's subordinates are extremely brave? Like a tiger rushing into a flock? Slashing with a horizontal knife.

The Qing soldiers were completely unprepared, and they were very embarrassed in their haste to respond to the battle.

Impact is very important in horse warfare, under a strong impact? Formations can be completely disrupted.

Many Qing cavalry were directly rushed off their horses and trampled to death by horses' hooves.

There were also some Qing soldiers whose armor was easily cut by the Ming army's horizontal knife, breaking a bloody hole.

While they don't die immediately, bleeding can lead to chronic death.

The Ming cavalry could have continued to kill other Qing cavalry without focusing on these wounded Qing soldiers.

"Kill the captives and repay the country!"

"It's time to repay the Ming Dynasty!"

"For the sake of Daming, for Your Majesty!"

"Rush!"

The cavalry charge of the Ming army is the sharpest three-wall pattern, similar to the wall charge.

The distance between the riders is so close that there is little space.

In this case, it will be difficult to turn the cavalry formation, but it will be possible to maintain the formation as much as possible.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of shock.

Either you die, or I die!

But usually, it is the party that initiates the wall charge that takes the initiative.

When the brave meets, the more afraid of death, the more scruples the side will end up in a fiasco.
