Chapter 583: Trap
The thief army has begun to attack Baoding City, but the reinforcements are not moving a hundred miles away, which is unreasonable, is it not possible to save death?
The consequences will be very serious, not to mention being settled by the Autumn Queen, that is, once the thief army in front of them breaks through Baoding City, it will sweep all the way north to the capital, and this defense line will immediately collapse and have no effect.
Li Yan was resourceful and knew the severity, but at this time he was a little undecided, the little eunuch had told him that it was easy to set up a defense line here and not to go south, so he listened to his order to collect the net at the right time.
Moreover, the two cities are hundreds of miles apart, is it too late for rescue, and is the thief army setting up a trick...... These are all factors that he makes him entangled.
"The Overseer is hundreds of miles away, maybe his heralds have encountered some accidents......" General Qin Songwang frowned and said: "We are here to rescue, and the thieves have already begun to attack the city at this time......"
"Sending Troops"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yan gritted his teeth and interrupted him, and ordered Qin Songwang to lead 5,000 men and horses across the river to entangle Liu Fangliang, and Li Yan personally led the main force to aid Baoding, of course, Wu Weiying's Shenji battalion participated in the battle except for artillery.
Liu Fangliang, who was facing each other more than ten miles away, and Gu Yingxiao's tears came out, and Li Yan's gang finally got into the trap!
That's right, this is a trap, the purpose of Li Zicheng's order to attack Baoding City is to attract reinforcements from the periphery of the officers and soldiers to come and send him to death, and help him consume cannon fodder, and Liu Fangliang just took advantage of this, deliberately tempted Li Yan to cross the river, once the officers and soldiers crossed the river, they lost the natural barrier, but we must weigh the weight of Li Yan's rebel army!
In the evening, the two sides finally started fighting on the south bank of the Juma River, and Qin Songwang's men and horses killed them with 5,000 men, covering Li Yan's men and horses to rush through this line of defense.
Liu Fangliang first responded with cannon fodder and gradually lost the enemy, and when he saw that the officers and soldiers were about to sweep again, he transferred the main force over, and suddenly Qin Songwang was overwhelmed, and he was about to cross the river.
Li Yan, who wanted to take advantage of the situation to pass through the east flank of the battlefield, was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly led his troops to fight.
Liu Fangliang didn't expect that Li Yanbu, who was also born as a thief, could have such a high combat power, but he didn't know that his men and horses had hardly fought since the Eastern Expedition, and Li Yan's subordinates had all followed Li Zicheng and the little eunuch in Taiyuan at the beginning, and then rushed thousands of miles to the outside of the gate and the Tartars died, blowing through the cold wind, and drinking blood, regardless of their momentum or strength was different from the past.
And what made Li Yan feel frightened was that the previous battle was easily repulsed, but now he used the main force of soldiers and horses, and the two sides were equally capable, and the doubts were solved after thinking about it, Liu Fangliang and Gu Ying definitely used their descendants, no wonder they were so hard.
The strength of the double killing, the thief army relied on artillery fire to consume most of the combat strength of the officers and soldiers, and took advantage of the danger of the main force, Li Yanbu had to grit his teeth and die, he clearly knew that if he took a step back, the defense line would collapse, and there would be no hope for Baoding City, and even the capital.
In the end, he had to use the big killing weapon, the Divine Machine Battalion!
Ordered the Shenji Battalion to shoot the thieves on the periphery, because the Shenji Battalion had sharp firearms, but its combat effectiveness was ordinary.
But Li Yan made a fatal mistake, the first thief army used cannon fodder as a shield, no matter how fierce the firepower of the Shenji Battalion was, there was no damage to the bones of the thief army, and the good steel was used on the blade, but he used it on the hilt.
Secondly, the firearms of the Shenji Battalion are suitable for concentrated fire suppression, which is the most suitable before the start of the war, but at this time, the two sides are fighting together, and the dispersion of firepower points cannot create any suppressive force, and soldiers will usually harm friendly troops when they shoot and shoot, after all, the accuracy of muskets is not as good as bows and arrows in these years.
The investment of the Shenji Battalion hardly played any decisive role, it was nothing more than killing some cannon fodder, and it is another thing to say whether the friendly troops were injured or not.
Seeing that the investment in the Shenji Battalion did not achieve the expected results, the fighting spirit of the rebel thief army was even stronger, and their own men and horses were already slightly exhausted, and they could be defeated at any time, and the situation was once precarious!
The people who were killed in the Tartars turned on their backs, could it be that they were going to fail miserably when they met their former colleagues today, Li Yan's face was gray, and the consequences were not just a matter of shame!
At this critical moment, the real big killer came, and Jia Waixiong, who was originally ordered to defend the city, took his panther battalion across the river and entered the battle group.
Chang Yu had four battalions of men and horses, two of which were heavily armored cavalry, and the Black Panther Battalion was one of them. At the beginning, Jia Waixiong stayed in Dingxing City due to his injuries, and he was holding a fire in his heart, but at this time, he saw that Li Yan was nervous across the river, and the Shenji Battalion had no effect, so he couldn't help but lead his troops to kill him.
The power of the heavy cavalry is huge, when it comes to infantry, it is like a meat grinder, and when it encounters cavalry, it is almost invincible, Jia Waixiong is a professional soldier, and his combat experience is far richer than Li Yan, after he led his troops to cross the river, and directly entered the battle circle, but bypassed the west flank of the battlefield and went straight to the rear position of the main force of the thief army in the south, that is, where the main generals Liu Fangliang and Gu Ying were.
Two hundred heavy armored soldiers rushed over murderously, Liu Fangliang and Gu Ying, who were commanding behind the battle, were also shocked, and raised their hands to make people intercept, who knew that one of them was scattered in front of them, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them were shocked and transferred troops to fight!
But the momentum of the heavy armored cavalry is like a rainbow, invincible and unstoppable, and Liu Fangliang's large forces are fighting with Li Yan's men and horses, and the troops around him are limited, and even repeated movements can't stop Jia Waixiong's black panther battalion.
Seeing this, Li Yan took advantage of the fierce counterattack and the thief army was defeated and collapsed, and the officers and soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue for more than ten miles.
This battle was fierce, it was the first hard battle after Li Yan surrendered, he also won a lot of battles several times when he sniped the Tartars outside the gate, but almost all of them were assists and leaks, but this one was a real hard knock, and the significance was even more extraordinary, so that his subordinates really realized the change of their identity!
Killing Tartars outside the gate is to resist foreign invasion, I am a Ming man who does you a Qing person, and it is incumbent on me to kill you! This is my natural righteousness as a Ming person.
But in front of me is a civil war and a former colleague desperately, I am a court officer and soldier, you are a thief, it is natural to kill you! This is my duty as an officer and soldier!
This battle made Li Yanbu's subordinates truly aware of the change in their position, and we are no longer thieves, but an officer and soldier of the imperial court who protects the family and the country and keeps the country safe inside and outside.
Of course, this battle made Li Yan see his own shortcomings, and when he was resting, Jia Waixiong was even more straightforward and ruthless: "General Li, you are good at planning but not good at fighting!" ”
Li Yanshen thought so, he was good at planning, but the actual combat on-the-spot response was really insufficient, so he made a great mistake just like the previous call of the Shenji Battalion!
However, this is not the time to review mistakes, there are a lot of injuries under the hard knocks of this battle, and the soldiers are tired and tired, whether they should continue to gallop to help, and at this time it is already dark, and the black thief army is ambushing the troops in front again......
When he was hesitating, the scouts came to report that the city of Baoding was safe and sound, and the thief army attacked the city several times in a day and did not even hit the moat.
That's impossible! There are hundreds of thousands of thieves, although the walls of Baoding City are thick and thick, if you attack with all your strength, although you can go down in one fell swoop, it is by no means that you haven't even hit the moat, and you have it several times a day!
Li Yan pondered for a while, and then understood Li Zicheng's thoughts, after all, he knew the old routine of the thief army from thieves for several years, and this trick was called surrounding the corpse to help, which was cruel and vicious!
Li Zicheng didn't want to knock down Baoding City so quickly now, he just wanted to take this opportunity to grind the officers and soldiers to death with cannon fodder, and use the officers and soldiers to polish the cannon fodder to come and go easily!
Its heart is sinister and chilling!
