Chapter 199, Decisive Battle Guanzhong 5
When Sun Chuanting was a little wolf smoke, Li Zicheng also saw it, and he thought to himself that this must be a signal from the official army, otherwise it would be good to be good, what would he do with a cigarette. γLatest chapter reading. After killing for a while, his heart moved, and he sent a detective to inquire about the news of the Qin army to see if there was anything wrong.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the spies to report that Zu Kuan was leading the Guanning Iron Cavalry and was rushing in the Qin army's array, seeing that the Qin army was a little unable to support it.
Only then did Li Zicheng understand that the three puffs of wolf smoke were the signal for Lu Xiangsheng to rush to help. The total Qin army is only 10,000 people, and it is already quite strong to deal with Sun Chuanting, once these 3,000 iron cavalry join, the Qin army will be in danger.
So he immediately decided to send men and horses to reinforce the Qin army. Li Zicheng knew very well that once the Qin army collapsed, his army would become a lone army, and he would have to withstand the attacks of the officials and troops from both sides, and the situation would be very passive.
He sent his general Liu Zongmin to reinforcements, and Liu Zongmin led 3,000 men and horses, including 500 cavalry, to rush to the Qin army's camp. Before they arrived on the battlefield, they intercepted the officers and soldiers sent by Lu Xiangsheng, so these thousands of people were in a group again.
At this time, on the battlefield within a radius of ten miles, the cries shook the sky and blood flowed like a river. Tens of thousands of horses and horses are you, you have me, I have you, and they are all mixed up. The clash of knives and guns and the neighing of war horses almost shook the ear drums.
Now the commanders of both sides know that when it comes to this part, they can only hold on, and whoever wants to retreat first will be defeated. Whoever can hold out to the end will be victorious.
But at this time, about four or five miles from the battlefield, there were several high slopes on the west side, and behind the slopes stood a few people, looking at this place from a distance.
There were four of them, three men and one woman, all pulling horses, hiding behind trees, and carefully watching the battlefield here.
At the bottom of the slope behind them, there were at least thousands of men and horses in ambush, all of them with wide eyes and swords and guns in their hands, ready to attack.
This group has been lying in ambush here for days. In fact, they had been here three days earlier, but they had been hiding in the woods, neither camping nor lighting torches, like a snake hidden in the grass, and no one knew that they had come.
The person standing on the high slope at the head was Bai Qi, and beside him, it was Lei Sheng, Wang Bao and Wu Xinlan.
Since the formation on the side of Xi'an was lined up, the King of Qin had already sent people to Meixian on fast horses to inform Bai Qi to come to participate in the battle. After Bai Qi received the will of the King of Qin, he did not slack off, and immediately began to reorganize the army and prepare to go on the expedition.
But just when Bai Qi put his men and horses in order and was about to set off, the spies sent an urgent report, saying that Sun Xianzu, the chief soldier of Gansu, had come to attack Meixian with more than 20,000 people.
Bai Qi was stunned at the time. He immediately understood that this was Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou's plan. In order to let Sun Xianzu restrain himself and prevent him from joining the battle in Xi'an.
This hand is very powerful, and the spy reported that Sun Xianzu is a brave and resourceful general, and he has a deputy general named Fierce as a Tiger, who is a foreigner and extremely brave. He has exterminated many rebels. This time he came to attack Meixian, and it was this fierce tiger as a pioneer who was murderous and domineering along the way, threatening to set foot in the three counties and capture Bai Qi alive.
At this time, there were only 8,000 people in Bai Qi's hands, and there were many newly recruited hungry people, and their combat effectiveness was not strong, and there were not many who had actually participated in the battle, only half of them. If you want to use 8,000 newly recruited soldiers to fight against 20,000 tigers and wolves, there is really no chance of winning.
Lei Sheng and Wang Bao were very anxious, but there was no expression on Bai Qi's face.
It's no wonder that the big battles that Bai Qi has fought can scare people to death when he says it, and the small battles of tens of thousands of people are as comfortable as eating a banquet for him.
Bai Qi immediately ordered that the whole army should not be pulled out first, and camp outside the city, preparing to meet the officers and soldiers.
As soon as this order came out, everyone was stupid. It seems that Bai Qi wants to fight a field battle with the official army. But from the current point of view, Bai Qi's men and horses are not only less than the official army, but also much weaker than others.
Lei Sheng Wang Leopard came to Bai Qi together, wanting to persuade him to bring men and horses into the city and defend it with the city wall, so that he might be able to frustrate the morale of the officials and soldiers, so as not to be eaten by others.
The two found Bai Qi and talked for a long time, Bai Qi listened, and just smiled faintly: "The military order has been issued, and there is no change, if anyone does not obey, the military law will serve." β
The sixteen words of understatement frightened the two of them into not daring to say anything anymore. Everyone knows that Bai Qi kills people without blinking, and if he continues to entangle, maybe Bai Qi will turn his face and really chop himself up, won't he be wronged. The two of them came out of the city, staring at each other with big eyes, not knowing what kind of trick Bai Qi had to do this.
Bai Qi sent them away, and secretly issued an order that all the people in the three county towns should move out of the city and hide outside the city, leaving only an empty city for the officials and soldiers. He specially instructed the heralds not to make a big publicity, but to tell the people secretly at night.
As soon as everyone heard that tens of thousands of officials and soldiers were killing violently, they also said that once they entered the city, the chickens and dogs would not be left, and even the trees would have to be stabbed three times, and they were so frightened that they were not possessed. Bai Qi opened four doors and let the people enter and exit.
In just one night, the three county towns became empty cities.
The next morning, as fierce as a tiger, he was killed outside Meixian County.
This fierce tiger general, as his name suggests, is nine feet tall, has infinite strength, can run horses on his arms, can stand on his fists, and stand in front of people, and at the end of it is a black iron tower. He used a mountain opening knife, cast in iron, weighing thirty-one pounds, and every time he charged, he was extremely fierce. Meng was born outside the fortress, his personality is strong and cruel, and his soldiers are the same as him. And he didn't pay much attention to military discipline, the soldiers raped and burned to kill the people, and harmed the people, so his troops were also called the Tiger Wolf Army by the common people.
At this time, fierce as a tiger led his 5,000 tiger wolf army, and approached Meixian County with murderous vigour. As soon as I arrived outside the city, I saw a group of people lined up from a distance, blocking the way, and when I got closer, I found that these people were all dressed as peasants, and they had no uniforms.
When he stared at it like this, he saw that this group of men and horses was about six or seven thousand people, and they were arranged there in a disorderly manner, neither in formation nor in a queue, as if the peasants were rushing to a large gathering, a group here, a group there, and all kinds of guys in their hands, and many people were still holding farm tools.
There is a big flag in front of the team, which is also tattered, and there is a white character written on it, which is estimated to be the main general.
As fierce as a tiger on the horse, when he looked at it for a long time, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
The deputy pioneer beside him asked, "Pioneer officer, why are you laughing?" β
Fierce as a tiger pointed at the white centaurs: "Brother, look at this troop, it's really funny, in my opinion, this must be a group of hungry people, a rabble." The deputy vanguard said: "The general should not be underestimated, you know, this army has taken three county seats." Fierce as a tiger sneered: "In this way, the guards of these three county towns are all local chickens and tile dogs." I don't deserve to wear my Ming military uniform at all. β
He glanced behind him and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, we should show our faces today, these thieves in front of us are just clay puppets, how can they withstand our rush." Obey my command, destroy this thief first, and then go into the city to eat and drink. β
The officers and soldiers behind responded violently. Fierce as a tiger did not hesitate, waved the mountain opening knife, shouted, and rushed over first.
Among his 5,000 men and horses, there were 1,000 cavalry, and these cavalry followed closely as fierce as a tiger, really like a tiger descending from a mountain, and the momentum was fierce and unstoppable.
Bai Qi saw this momentum over there, and immediately became a little flustered. I didn't even have the courage to come forward to fight, and the whole team turned around and fled, and when they fled, it was not all the way, and I don't know how many roads were divided, it was simply all over the mountains and fields, and they scattered and left.
As fierce as a tiger when he saw it, he laughed even more: "Such a bear bag, what kind of battle are you going to fight, what kind of battle are you fighting?" Hurry home and pick up the baby, Hugh has to be embarrassed here. β
He laughed while leading the men and horses to chase and annihilate the fleeing enemy, and after chasing for a while, he only killed hundreds of people, and the rest of the men and horses fled too fast, over the ravine, into the wild forest, and fled without knowing where to go.
Fierce as a tiger felt that it was almost over, and immediately ordered that the army should not be pursued, and the county seat should be taken first, so as to repay the merits.
When he came to the city with his men and horses, he found that the four gates were wide open, and the city was quiet, as if there was no one. Fierce as a tiger in fear of ambush, he first sent a few people into the city to have a look, but after a while, these people came back to report that there was no one in the city, and it was already an empty city.
Fierce as a tiger looking up to the sky and laughing, he was very proud in his heart: I didn't expect that as soon as the pioneer arrived, he would scare the soldiers and civilians of Hecheng into scattering and fleeing, so majestic, how many people can there be in the world? He immediately ordered the whole army to enter the city to rest.
At this time, Bai Qi stood on the hill in the distance, and beside him were Lei Sheng, Wang Leopard and Wu Xinlan, these four people were the main and deputy leaders of this team. Wang Bao watched the fierce tiger enter the county seat, and couldn't help frowning: "General, are we just giving the county seat to the official army?" β
Bai Qi said indifferently: "What if you don't give it?" The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, as fierce as a tiger, and there are more than 10,000 horses behind Sun Xianzu, can we beat the enemy? β
Wang Bao sighed: "If you run away without fighting like this, you always feel a little angry." β
Lei Sheng also said: "Yes, general, we can't beat the officers and soldiers, but we can't watch them show off their might." β
Wu Xinlan smiled: "Don't be angry, let's listen to the general, he must have a clever plan." β
Bai Qi looked at Wu Xinlan and said, "Yes, I just want the official army to seize the county seat." β
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. I don't know what Bai Qi means.
