Chapter 239 Helping the Wind Crisis

On October 20 of the second year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng was ordered to lead 6,000 elite soldiers to Fufeng County.

Li Zicheng had the original old troops under his command, and later selected strong men to be strictly selected, and it can be said that these more than 6,000 people are definitely the most capable elite in the peasant army. In order to take Fufeng County, Gao Yingxiang sent the most precious army under his command in addition to the cavalry under his command.

Li Zicheng was not ambiguous, and after resting for half a day, he launched a fierce attack on Fufeng County. Li Zicheng knows the importance of Fufeng County, which is related to the lives of more than 60,000 brothers.

Due to the urgency of time, can not be delayed, Li Zicheng can only fight quickly, in order to defeat Fufeng County as soon as possible, as soon as possible, Li Zicheng sent half of the soldiers and horses, launched a mad dog style of fighting against Fufeng County.

On the first day, although Li Zicheng failed to help the wind, he gave Wu Guofu in the city a blow to the head. Wu Guofu thought that relying on the strong city, he could attack the peasant army head-on, but he never thought that this peasant army was completely different from what he had seen before, not only was it well-trained, but it also fought without dying, and it was about to catch up with the elite of the border army in Datong Mansion.

In just one day, the soldiers under his command lost one-third, and it didn't take three days to fight like this, and there would be no one under his command to use.

Wu Guofu was immediately a little anxious, and hurriedly wrote to Yang He to ask for reinforcements, and also wrote to Cao Wenzhao to see if Cao Wenzhao could find a way to support.

The next day, Li Zicheng continued to attack the city, and it is strange to say that the siege on this day was not as fierce as the first day. Siege the city in one day, and collect troops in the unitary time. Taking advantage of his free time, Wu Guofu had a hasty meal and rested on the battlements.

The night was as cold as water, starry, I don't know how long I slept, and I was suddenly woken up. Wu Guofu is getting old, and when he opened his sleepy eyes, his whole body was a little wilted, "What are you doing?" Ge Lao Tzu, which one does not open his eyes to disturb Lao Tzu's sleep. ”

"Ah, General..... Listen, the thieves are attacking the city......"

The person who spoke was none other than Wu Guofu's deputy general Cen Fang. Cen Fang shook Wu Guofu again, Wu Guofu's drowsiness was driven away for the most part, and after listening for a while, General Wu's face immediately turned cold, "Before dawn, the thieves attacked the city, are they crazy?" ”

As we all know, attacking the city at night is greatly beneficial to the defenders, and even if it is finally captured, it will be a heavy casualty. So, throughout history, few people have been willing to storm a city at night. It is precisely because of this that Wu Guofu will find a place to sleep after dinner, in his mind, that Li Zicheng is also from a regular border army, even if he has never learned the art of war, this simple military common sense should be understood.

But an accident happened!

Before the time came, Li Zicheng attacked Fufeng County at night, and the peasant army was offensive, but the effect was very small. In fact, as Wu Guofu expected, the peasant army stormed for four hours, and in addition to spilling countless blood and corpses on the city, it still failed to shake Fufeng City for half a point.

The peasant army, having paid a heavy price, quietly retreated, the morning sun of dawn peeking through the clouds, and the earth slowly illuminated. I saw countless corpses under the city, and some of them were not even killed, but fell to their deaths.

No matter how you look at it, the peasant army's attack on Fufeng County at night is a very stupid act, and such an attack is meaningless and is burying people's names in vain.

Is Li Zicheng really so stupid? At least Wu Guofu doesn't think so. Li Zicheng defected to the peasant army, and in just a few months, he became famous and became the leader of the road. In addition to Gao Yingxiang's support, it is also inseparable from his own ability. If Li Zicheng's ability was insufficient, Gao Yingxiang would not have given him such an important task as attacking Fufeng County.

What does Li Zicheng want to do? Before Wu Guofu could come up with a reason, before the hour passed, the peasant army launched a new round of onslaught on Fufeng County, so that the defenders did not even have time to eat and rest.

At this moment, Wu Guofu somewhat understood Li Zicheng's intentions, Li Zicheng wanted to use non-stop attacks, countless lives, and fatigue around the defenders.

People, after all, have limits, and people will be tired. Li Zicheng must have been divided into two groups, one group resting, one group attacking, and taking turns to move. In this way, half of the soldiers and horses under Li Zicheng's command maintained their combat effectiveness. But Wu Guofu can't do it, the troops under his command are limited, and he is afraid that the troops will be insufficient to defend the city, so how dare he divide half of the people to rest.

The defenders had to concentrate on dealing with it at all times, because every attack by Li Zicheng was serious, and as long as there was a hint of slackness, he would enter Fufeng County.

Yes, Li Zicheng is using human life, but he has this capital, he has enough troops, that is, he can be willful. As long as Fufeng County can be defeated in time and tens of thousands of troops trapped in Wugong County can be rescued, then all the losses will be worth it.

Although the defense of Fufeng County is still very strong for the time being, Wu Guofu is worried, it has only been a day and a night, and the brothers have already shown a tired look, if they continue like this, how long can they hold on?

One day, two days...... Wu Guofu even doubted whether he could keep it for four days.

It can't be held for too long, but the order given by Inspector Yang is that Fufeng County must be defended. Sticking to it also means that his old life of Wu Guofu will be explained in Fufeng County.

.......

Everything was as Wu Guofu expected, Li Zicheng's attack did not stop, he turned Fufeng County into a Shura field, and the defenders in the city were overwhelmed by him, and they could not rest for a moment.

On the night of the third day, Wu Guofu looked at the situation in Fufeng County, and his heart became cold. With his decades of experience in leading troops, it is not difficult to see that Fufeng County will inevitably fall tomorrow.

Hehe, I couldn't hold it for four days, this Li Zigong is ruthless and powerful enough, and there is a hero in the chaotic party.

Wu Guofu was already desperate, and taking advantage of the rare rest time, he called the deputy general Cen Fang and arranged the aftermath.

At that moment, when the crescent moon hung high and the moon shadow fell on the earth, Li Zicheng's new round of attack was being prepared. Wu Guofu was ready not to see the dawn of the sun, and Cen Fang, who had just gone away at this time, hurriedly returned to the city wall.

After seeing Cen Fang, Wu Guofu was immediately furious and said in a low voice: "Didn't you let you go?" Why don't you listen? ”

"Old general, you are angry, there is your letter, it was sent by General Cao!"

"Hmph" Wu Guofu took the letter, glared at Cen Fang, and then looked at the letter under the torch. After seeing it, the old man shook his eyebrows, and immediately said: "Cen Fang, don't go, follow the old man to meet the enemy." Order, let the brothers work hard this time, as long as the thieves are repulsed, we can withdraw from Fufeng County. ”

"Huh? Inspector Yang promised to let us withdraw? ”

"No, Inspector Yang didn't say let us withdraw, this is a private message from General Cao, he said that we only need to evacuate Fufeng County, and leave the rest to him. Hey, don't worry about this, even if Inspector Yang asks for the guilt afterwards, there are also General Cao and others who carry it with us, in order to avoid a few brothers from returning to northern Sichuan alive, the old man has no choice but to go back to his hometown to farm..... Everything is worth ....."
