Chapter 471, Wen Gu Siliang General 5
All of a sudden, countless rockets flew into the camp, and many tents were immediately burned. γLatest chapter reading. Zuo Mengeng ordered an attack, and 20,000 horses were killed, and he immediately attacked the camp.
The leaders of the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution led the army out, there were only a few deputy generals in the battalion, and when they saw that the officers and soldiers were killed, they were caught off guard and immediately panicked.
Zuo Mengeng didn't kill the red eyes, he knew the purpose of his coming, so he ordered his subordinates to light fires everywhere in the camp to burn the grain, grass, wealth and other things of the 5th Battalion of the Left Battalion, and set the fire as large as possible, so that the 5th Battalion of the Left Wing would have no time to attack.
Sure enough, the fire in the camp was soaring, and some people had already rushed out of the camp to report the news to Lao Huihui and others.
At this time, Lao Huihui and Ge Liyan and others were commanding men and horses to fight with Zuo Liangyu, although the left army was brave, but there were many people and horses in the five battalions of Ge Zuo, so the two sides did not see victory or defeat for a while.
They knew that Zuo Liangyu's men and horses were fierce and fierce, and they couldn't kill the other party's camp for a while, if their big camp was served by others, how could it be good, there were still a lot of grain, grass and money in the camp, and they had to be saved.
Therefore, Lao Huihui discussed with Ge Liyan and asked Liu Xiyao to lead the army back to the camp first, and the two of them brought 40,000 horses, resisted Zuo Liangyu, and slowly retreated.
Zuo Liangyu saw that the peasant army began to retreat, but knew that his son Zuo Mengeng had succeeded, he was not a reckless person who was greedy for merit, since he broke Zhang Xianzhong and was promoted to the general of the thief, Zuo Liangyu became more and more cautious, and he accepted the battle when he saw it, and tried not to lose the war.
This time was no exception, Sun Chuanting asked him to hold the camp, and to hold it was that he didn't need to kill more enemies and make himself lose his men and horses. Therefore, he also ordered that the men and horses should pursue slowly, kill if they can, and do not chase if the enemy flees far away.
Therefore, the two sides left the battlefield, and Zuo Liangyu's men and horses chased and killed for a while, so they collected their troops and returned to the camp, and packed up their heads and war horses along the way, preparing to report to Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting was leading Cao Bianjiao to fight fiercely with Li Zicheng at this time, he saw that his camp was in flames before, and the sound of killing shook the sky, knowing that Zuo Liangyu had already fought with the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo, so he also ordered his men and horses to fight to the death.
Cao Bianjiao's men and horses were very fierce, and Li Zicheng's generals rushed several times, but they were shot back with firearms and bows and arrows, and they also lost two lieutenant generals.
Hao Shaoqi looked at Sun Chuanting's handsome flag always held high, refusing to fall, and couldn't help scolding: "This dog inspector, who is surrounded and still doesn't fall into the handsome flag, obviously looks down on us." Whoever rushes in with me, and cuts off his dog's head, to avenge King Gaochuang,"
Hundreds of cavalry under him responded violently, these people all followed him out of the Meridian Valley, and they had a deep affection for Gao Yingxiang, and as soon as they heard him say this, they immediately waved their knives and shouted, ready to fight to the death.
Tian Jianxiu happened to be on the side, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't be impulsive when you wave the flag, Sun Chuanting's way of playing like this must have tricks." If Shuai's banner is not Sun Chuanting, you won't be fooled if you go in,"
Hao Shaoqi has always admired Tian Jianxiu's strategy and foresight, and when he heard him say this, he nodded and said: "That's right, no matter how brave Sun Chuanting is, he doesn't dare to personally bring this bit of men and horses to attack us." At this time, he may not know where to hide. β
Li Zicheng was a little anxious, because this place was close to the official army camp, although there were already shouts of killing over there, and the fifth battalion of the left side began to attack, but no one could guess whether Sun Chuanting had any other arrangements. Once you are pinned down here and fall into an ambush, you can be passive.
Therefore, Li Zicheng ordered Liu Zongmin to take 3,000 iron cavalry and rush into battle with all his might, and he must break the camp of the official army into the open.
After Liu Zongmin received the order, he personally selected 3,000 sturdy soldiers, one by one wearing iron armor, holding spears, and after riding on war horses, a brave deputy general led in front of him, first withdrew from the land of three arrows, and then ordered the men and horses in front of him to dodge away and prepare to charge into battle.
This style of play is a decisive attack when the two armies are in a stalemate. The men and horses who are ordered to charge must not stop one step at a time, and use the flesh and blood of men and horses to break a way. Therefore, those who rush forward must have suffered heavy casualties.
Among Li Zicheng's men, there is such a decisive army.
These people are treated the best in the army on weekdays, Li Zicheng's men and horses, ordinary soldiers eat two meals a day, and the decisive army eats three meals a day. Eat better than others. You can even get married. This is something that ordinary peasant army soldiers dare not think. Therefore, many of Li Zicheng's subordinate soldiers want to become a decisive army.
Just when Liu Zongmin was preparing for the impact, a cavalry team of more than 100 people suddenly ran from behind, led by a deputy general under Luo Rucai, he came to the front of the army, and when he saw someone, he asked where Li Zicheng was, and someone gave him guidance.
Li Zicheng was shocked when he saw that it was Luo Rucai's person, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
The adjutant replied anxiously: "It's not good to break the king, the officers and soldiers took advantage of the moment when your brigade of men and horses came out of the camp, sent a group of men and horses wearing our clothes, pretending to be the men and horses of the fifth battalion of Gezuo, mixed into the camp, and killed, Luo Shuai asked you to return to the army immediately." β
As soon as he said this, Li Zicheng saw that in the direction of his camp, smoke and flames were rising in the sky, and fire snakes were scurrying wildly, dancing towards the sky, all red, and they could be seen clearly dozens of miles away.
Such a fire is not like only burning the tent, but like setting fire to horses, straw, cloth and other things.
Li Zicheng suddenly realized that the shouting was not good, and the officers and soldiers mixed into the camp and went for grain and grass. He just wanted to wait for the official army to run out of food, but he didn't expect Sun Chuanting to use his own way and govern his own body to send people to burn the grain and grass of the peasant army.
He didn't know how many people Sun Chuanting sent, but by feeling, Li Zicheng felt that Luo Rucai's tens of thousands of horses might not be able to repel the officers and troops and keep the military rations and other burdens. So he immediately ordered Liu Zongmin not to rush into battle, led 30,000 horses to fight with Sun Chuanting, and returned to the camp immediately with the rest of the people.
At this time, everyone on the battlefield saw that the peasant army camp had caught fire, and the officers and soldiers began to shout, and their morale was even stronger, but the peasant army was a little panicked.
Liu Zongmin instructed Hao Shaoqi to take thousands of men and horses to rush into the enemy's formation, and he must not make the momentum of the official army rise, and then he led a few deputy generals to divide the troops and fight, entangled Sun Chuanting.
Li Zicheng led Tian Jianxiu and other remaining generals to lead the army to withdraw to the camp.
Sun Chuanting's plan is very clever, since Li Zicheng led the army out of the camp, Gao Jie and Zuo Guangxian, who had been ambushed in the distance, were seen in the eyes, and when Li Zicheng led the people to go far, Gao Jie and Zuo Guangxian acted.
They sent 2,000 men in front of them, all of whom had been recruited and were well acquainted with the situation of the peasant army, so that they could respond. The rest of the people did not light the torches, pulled a distance behind them, and quietly followed.
After Li Zicheng left, Luo Rucai did not dare to be careless, and sent heavy troops to defend at the camp gate, but it was also regarded as heaven to help Sun Chuanting, Luo Rucai led the army to meet the division not long ago, and Li Zicheng's men and horses were not yet all familiar, not to mention the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, so the two thousand disguised officers and soldiers said that it was the men and horses of the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, and the guards interrogated them, and those people answered like fluent, so the guards did not doubt and opened the camp gate.
Two thousand men and horses calmly walked into the camp, and at this time, Gao Jie and Zuo Guang led the men and horses to kill them, and the guards hurriedly closed the gate to resist the officers and soldiers.
At this time, the 2,000 disguised officers and soldiers took the opportunity to sneak into the camp and began to look for a place to store grain and grass. After a short time, they came to the camp of the Chinese army, which was a place to store military supplies, and hundreds of large tents were placed with countless grains, horses, grass, cloth and other baggage.
Two thousand officers and soldiers immediately attacked, lit a fire together, and made a disturbance in the camp.
Originally, there was a lively fight outside the camp gate, Luo Rucai's attention was all focused on Gao Jie and Zuo Guangxian, who would have thought that there were already officials and soldiers mixed in, and when he saw the grain and grass on fire, he was immediately shocked and sent men and horses to fight the fire.
At the time of chaos, 2,000 officers and soldiers rushed in the camp, lit fires everywhere, and then stormed the camp gate, under the attack from both sides, the peasant army camp gate was finally lost, and 40,000 officers and soldiers were killed.
Luo Rucai was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and scolded, and the commander immediately stepped forward to resist, he fought while fighting the fire, and some took care of one or the other, and Gao Jie and Zuo Guangxian in the official army were both fierce generals, and their subordinates were also very fierce, and Luo Rucai's men and horses had never dared to fight hard battles, so the two killed together, Luo Rucai was a little unable to resist.
What made him even more upset was that Gao Jie sent a detachment of men and horses to continue to set fire to the camp, and it didn't take long for the peasant army camp to be full of fires, and most of the grain and grass were burned.
Luo Rucai regretted very much, he did not guard the camp well, and he really had the trust of Li Zicheng, so he gritted his teeth and fought to the death very rarely, and at the same time sent people to ask Li Zicheng to return to the division.
His men and horses were already a little scattered in the firelight, and they could not defeat the elite soldiers of Gao Jie and Zuo Guangxian, and the food and grass were on fire, and the people's hearts were in turmoil, so they were killed and retreated, and there were some signs of inadequacy.
At this time, Li Zicheng finally arrived.
He led 50,000 horses to kill back, rushed up from behind Gao Jie and others, Tian Jianxiu saw Gao Jie's banner, his face was red with anger, and he shouted loudly: "That's a traitor over the mountain harrier, don't let him go,"
As soon as the peasant army heard Gao Jie's name, they all exploded their chests, and Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong, Dang Shousu and others were killed together.
Gao Jie was very treacherous, and as soon as he saw Li Zicheng leading the army back, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of his troops. Zuo Guangxian also retreated with him.
But at this time, there was another big chaos outside the camp, and someone came to report to Li Zicheng: "King Chuang, Sun Chuanting has been killed." β
Li Zicheng looked at the horse, and sure enough, in the direction he came back, a large group of people rushed in.
