Chapter 438: Monk Fang
The 150,000 Yongle rebels and the 100,000 officers lined up and fought a decisive battle under Lingshan.
Fang La's original three battalions each had only 6,000 people, and now each battalion of 100,000 people is naturally recruited recruits. What's more, the southern soldiers were impatient to fight hard, and they were too far behind the Hebei soldiers and the Western Army.
Tong Guan came to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion with a total of 10,000 cavalry of the Western Army, of which 5,000 cavalry were sent to encircle the Tianci Army, but he was frightened back by Yang Zaixing alone, and finally asked Si Xingfang to give a spoonful of stew in the Yixian camp, but the remaining 5,000 cavalry followed Tong Guan.
The proportion of the Western Army under Tong Guan is not high, but they are all elite. The Fanhan soldiers transferred from Hedong Road are not rookies, only the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is useless. On the whole, although there are few officers and soldiers, the overall strength is much stronger than that of the rebels.
A big battle lasted for more than three hours, and the 250,000-strong army finally all fought together. It didn't take long for the Yongle rebels to finally be defeated.
Si Xingfang died on the spot, and Shi Bao, the commander of the Shizi Battalion, escorted Fang La and hurriedly retreated, but was tightly bitten by the tail of tens of thousands of elites of the Western Army.
Tong Guan gave up chasing and killing the scattered rebels and concentrated all his forces to surround Fang La on Lingshan.
As long as Fang La was killed, the battle of counterinsurgency would be considered to be more than half of the victory, so Tong Guan rushed to attack Lingshan overnight.
Shi Bao was carrying the elite veterans of the 3,000-mountain character battalion, who had been in contact with the officers and soldiers overnight, and because of the geographical advantage, the officers and troops failed to capture Lingshan all night.
At dawn, Tong Guan ordered a rest, and each department buried the pot to make rice, intending to continue attacking the mountain after a short rest.
Patches of cooking smoke rose, but the rebels trapped on the Spirit Mountain fell into a situation of no food and no water.
Fang La raised his head to the sky and couldn't help but feel sad, the efforts of the Fang family for several generations have all turned into water today.
Fang La is not a hero, but he is also a hero, he doesn't want to fall into the hands of the official army and be insulted, so he suddenly pulled out his sword and wanted to kill himself on the spot.
Shi Bao desperately grabbed the sect leader, and the remaining more than 1,000 elites of the Shanzi battalion all knelt on the ground, begging the sect leader to give them another chance, they were willing to desperately rush to the camp and escort the sect leader out of trouble.
The official and military camps under the mountain were stacked on top of each other, and Fang La knew that it was impossible for these more than 1,000 people to rush out no matter what. But the loyalty of his subordinates touched him a lot.
"That's it!" Fang La said loudly: "Why don't you die in the chaos with everyone." ”
After saying this, Fang La wanted to take more than a thousand people to fight again, but at this time, there was chaos in the official camp.
Fang La and the rebels looked condescendingly, and soon saw the reason, it was the reinforcements that arrived. For a while, his spirits were high, and he concentrated all his strength to kill the official army camp, vowing to join the reinforcements.
There is a way that success is also Xiao He's defeat and Xiao He, Wang Yuan was able to deceive the rebel Jixi camp, that is because Fang La gave an order to let the Yongzi battalion send troops to support, and now the reinforcements of the Yongzi battalion are really here.
The rebels of the 30,000 Yongzi battalion went straight to Tong Guan's Chinese army and killed them, and there was no one under the iron gun of Monk Fang. Scholarly
At the beginning, Tong Guan was not very worried about the rebels of the Yongzi Battalion, he had already seen the strength of the rebels, not to mention that compared with the Western Army, even the Fanhan Army could beat the Yongle rebels. But soon Tong Guan discovered the problem, although this rebel army could also be seen to be new recruits, but they had a strong sense of battle. Although it still can't be compared with the Tianci Army, it is already different from the Shanzi Battalion and the Shizi Battalion.
Ruotian Eleven knew that Monk Fang had trained a strong rebel army with the methods of the Heavenly Army, and he would definitely be so depressed that he vomited blood.
The rebels of the 30,000 Yongzi battalion were divided into three teams and rushed into the official barracks, and Monk Fang personally led a team to take the Chinese army directly. Tong Guan saw that Monk Fang was getting closer and closer to him, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly led the army back.
It will be the courage of the army, and Tong Guan's retreat immediately caused an avalanche effect, and the entire official army camp immediately began to retreat.
Monk Fang successfully rescued Fang La, but he still led the army to break through Tong Guanzhong's army. In the end, Wang Yuan led a team of western troops to go up, which stopped Monk Fang's troops.
Seeing that Tong Guan could not be killed, Monk Fang led his troops to retreat calmly.
ran away from Fang La, which made Tong Guan jump like thunder, but it didn't take long for Eunuch Tong to receive the news of the defeat of the three western armies besieging the Tianci Army, and he was almost angry.
The entire army of the Yumei army was annihilated, Yao Pingzhong's army was lost by more than half, and although the cavalry led by Wu Yu was not damaged, it also suffered heavy losses when the rebels raided the camp in Yixian. The Western Army, the most elite of the official army, suffered nearly forty percent of its losses at this time.
The following days finally quieted down, and Fang La gathered some of the rout troops and returned directly to Hangzhou. Tong Guan rectified the soldiers and horses stationed in Jixi, and at this time the remaining soldiers and horses of the official army were barely more than 100,000.
The counterinsurgency army of the Great Song Dynasty lost more than 50,000 people in a short period of time, and most of them were elite Western troops, and the eunuch Tong wanted to cry without tears.
The officers and soldiers rested for a few days, and Tong Guan led his troops to Hangzhou while searching for grain and grass everywhere. The rebels have not been wiped out yet, and the battle will continue, but the Tianci army really doesn't want to provoke it. If tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were wiped out by the Tianci army, Tong Guan's counterinsurgency would be a complete failure.
At this time, Tong Guan also saw that General Liu Yanqing was unreliable, so he kept him and ordered him to go to Shezhou to negotiate an alliance with Tian Shiyi, and Hu Cheng was Liu Yanqing's assistant.
Liu Yanqing is actually an ornament, and the real core content is in Hu Cheng's hands. Because Tong Guan has too many secrets that Liu Yanqing can't know, Hu Cheng has successfully advanced to Tong Guan's henchman.
When Liu Yanqing and Hu Cheng entered Shezhou City, they happened to meet the little golden retriever Niu Tong who went out of the city.
After returning to Shezhou that day, Niu Gao tied Niu Tong and handed it over to Brother Eleven to deal with.
After all, Niu Tong is Niu Gao's only son, although he often uses knives and hammers when beating his son, but he will not really kill him. As for how Brother Eleven will punish Niu Tong, Niu Gao is actually quite worried in his heart.
Niu Tong was called into the house by Brother Eleven, and soon Brother Eleven's scolding voice came out, and Niu Gao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They are all old people around Brother Eleven, and they know Brother Eleven's temper very well. As long as Brother Eleven is willing to scold, this matter is not a big deal. If Brother Eleven doesn't say a word, or even smiles, things will definitely be in trouble, because Brother Eleven is really angry at that time.
The highest value of the Heaven-Sent Alliance has always been people, and all the combat rules and plans of the Heaven-Sent Army are also based on the principle of sacrificing as few soldiers as possible. The mistake made by Niu Tong is almost nothing if it is placed in the official army and the rebel army, but it is a big mistake in the Tianci army.
