Chapter 559: The embarrassed Zhou Yuji
Here, Li Yan is gearing up to let Liu Fangliang, who has been in high spirits recently, see whether you are a grass king who can fight, or me, a former thief army and military division, is now a powerful thief general, but I don't know that there is a person in the west of Dingzhou, hundreds of miles away, who is miserable.
Needless to say, it was in Taiyuan that he joined forces with the little eunuch to defeat the enemy and prevent the thief army from going all the way north to make the prince's "nightmare come true".
After the defeat of the thieves a month ago, the little eunuch was ordered to return to Beijing to report on his work, leaving Zhou Yuji to closely monitor the movements of the thief army in case he counterattacked, and left nearly 10,000 cavalry of Jin Wuwei to assist.
After the thief army in the Central Plains more and more trouble, swept the whole territory of Henan and went north to take most of Hebei and approached the south gate of Baoding Mansion, the imperial court was alarmed to call troops and horses to help, but at this time the Ming army in the north was seriously insufficient, to make matters worse, the Qing army went south at this moment to try to enter the customs.
In the end, an urgent order was sent to Taiyuan and ordered Zhou Yuji to gallop to the east, but in the first battle of Taiyuan, Zhou Yujibu's vitality was greatly injured, and the soldiers under his command were tired and tired, and there were countless wounded soldiers, and there were very few soldiers who could be sent, and what was even more fatal was that there was a serious shortage of grain and grass.
However, at this time, a local wealthy businessman suddenly proposed to donate money and grain, and the amount was not small, Zhou Yuji was overjoyed and hurriedly asked who it was, but told Dai Tingtong, a native of Naiqi County, that he and Fu Qingzhu and Gu Yanwu were all friends, and it was rumored that the dart game was originally established by three people, but Dai Tingtong did not know martial arts, but his descendants had a big master named Dai Longbang, who was the founder of Dai's Xinyi Boxing, but it was already a matter of the Qianlong period.
It is said that Qi County is full of rich people, this Dai Tingtong is one of them, when the thieves surrounded Taiyuan, Chang Yu led the nose to the west road, the east road small group of thieves did not break through the city wall thick pillbox such as the forest of Qi County, after the thief army broke away Li Zicheng tried to break the city and plunder, is attacking when Chang Yu led the troops to chase him scared him and fled, Qi County once again escaped by luck.
At this time, the officers and soldiers wanted to march east to suppress the bandits, and the food and grass were insufficient, and Dai Tingyan, who had always been loyal and patriotic, heard from his friend Fu Qingzhu that Zhou Yuji led the officers and soldiers to defend the city in blood, and was very moved, and was grateful that if it were not for the timely aid of the officers and soldiers, Qi County would probably be burned to ruins like Taigu, and immediately took the lead in convening the rich households in Qi County to donate silver and grain for the officers and soldiers.
After having money and food, Zhou Yuji was worried about the soldiers, Taiyuan suffered too many injuries after the war, and the border passes could not be without guards, and after the war, they were sent back to various passes, at this time, in addition to the disabled city, there were only nearly 10,000 people left to help Jin Wuwei.
Good things always come in pairs, because the officers and soldiers of the First World War in Taiyuan fought a bloody wash of the ugliness of previous years, which won the hearts of the people, and there were too many refugees after the war, some young people enthusiastically signed up to join the army, and the number of people was jaw-dropping.
But Zhou Yuji was still relatively calm, knowing that bringing these vegetables and melons over was just to send them to death, but he carefully selected some of them, more than 1,000 brave and burly people to join the army, plus thousands of personal soldiers, and He Chengxin and Yang Zhenwei, who came from Xuanfu Datong to support, and the remaining thousands, plus thousands of people and horses selected from the Taiyuan garrison, and formed a force of nearly 30,000 troops with Jin Wuwei to march eastward.
The battle situation on the eastern front is urgent, the thief army is approaching Baoding Mansion all the way north, if Baoding City is broken, the south gate of the capital is wide open, then the big thing is not good, Zhou Yuji did not dare to slack off, day and night marched over the mountains and crossed the ridge east out of Guguan (now Pingding County) into the territory of Zhending Mansion, the scouts soon returned, Zhending Mansion has fallen into the hands of thieves, and the thief army went north to Baoding Mansion.
Zhou Yuji was in a hurry when he heard this, he couldn't let Li Zicheng take Baoding City, he must arrive before him, but now that Zhending Mansion has been trapped by the thief army, what should he do? Fight over, how can there be that kind of effort and effort.
That is, he walked around, so he ordered to go north along the mountain range, bypassing Zhendingfu, but the thief army was densely spread for hundreds of miles around, and finally his whereabouts were discovered, and Ren Jirong and Ma Shiyao, who were lying in Zhendingfu City (Dingzhou) playing with women drinking and eating meat, heard that it was his men and horses, and immediately became angry and led their troops to pursue them.
This chase was chased to the southwest of Dingzhou on the bank of the Ci River, the two armies fought a fierce battle, Zhou Yuji went north and did not want to fight with it, with the cavalry of Jin Wuwei and the thief army to fight equally, while the thief army retreated a few miles to rest and cross the east area of the river.
Ren Jirong and the others were furious at first sight, they didn't know the winner or loser, you want to run, and chased them for a day and night to the bank of the Dasha River in the west of Dingzhou City, and the two sides fought a vicious battle, even if the thieves used cannon fodder, they still didn't do anything about Lao Zhou.
The two sides confronted each other for a day, Zhou Yujiben wanted to go east of the river to occupy Dingzhou City, the spies reported that Dingzhou had fallen into the hands of thieves, Lao Zhou frowned, he couldn't go, he couldn't stay, if he was caught between the east and west, it was not good, so he sent people and horses to go north along the Dasha River.
After walking for a long time, he was chased by Ren Jirong, and what was even worse was that Luo Hu, who came after hearing the news, finally came, and the enemies were very red when they saw each other, when the thief army was defeated, Zhou Yuji fell into Luo Hu's trap when he chased Li Zicheng, and in the end, if it wasn't for Li Yan's rebellion, he almost even killed the little eunuch!
This time it's time to see who will save you!
Luo Hu's Zhenshan battalion is known as the strongest man and horse in the thief army, with three thousand iron horsemen, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face!
The two troops attacked together, the thieves were in high spirits as soldiers in the home field, the officers and soldiers were guests from afar, they were afraid and tired all the way, and after fighting for half a day, Zhou Yu was not supported, and led his troops to retreat north along the river.
The thieves were in hot pursuit, Luo Hu was the first to take the lead, vowing to slash Zhou Yuji, seeing that the officers and soldiers were about to be defeated, but from the group of vegetables and melons of the new army, a person rushed out of the Zhenshan camp, and actually picked Luo Hu off the horse with a shot, and the pro-army was shocked and desperately rushed forward to rescue, but was killed by the man and more than ten people flew away, and the thieves did not dare to chase again.
The officers and soldiers took the opportunity to retreat along the river to the north, and ran for twenty or thirty miles in one breath to rest, at this time, the Malay report was reported that it had reached the northwest of Dingzhou, and a few miles away from the front of Quyang County, and there were no thieves entrenched, do you want to enter the city?
Zhou Yuji and his generals decided not to enter the city after discussion, the reason is very simple, Quyang County is too small, there is no danger to defend, if it is surrounded by thieves, the turtle in the city urn will be a turtle.
Don't enter the city but still have to go, because Quyang is close to the Taihang Mountains to the west and north are reckless mountains and mountains, that is, there are several mountains outside the city, just find a terrain to resist the enemy, far more appropriate than entering the city.
After the agreement, Zhou Yuji led his troops to go north along the Dasha River to the black mountain in the west of Quyang County, where the mountains are undulating, and it is the source of the Dasha River, the canyon is vertical and horizontal, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can also ambush the troops, so he ordered to rest on the spot.
How do you know that after a day of rest, the thief army arrives again, it was Li Guo who came from Baoding Mansion to find the little eunuch to avenge his godson, and he was shocked when he heard that Luo Hu was stabbed off the horse, but he entered the camp and saw that this thing was alive and well, but it was just that there was a fierce general among the officers and soldiers, and he was invincible.
Li Guo changed color, could it be the little eunuch?
Luo Hu shook his head, he also knew that the little eunuch turned into ashes, even the fierce generals under his command had also taken pictures, but this person was very angry.
The strength of one person is difficult to turn the tide, the officers and soldiers are tired at this time, when the victory is pursued and annihilated, Li Guo immediately ordered to take advantage of his illness to kill him, and led his troops to rush and was blocked by Zhou Yuji at the mouth of the canyon.
It was another fight, the officers and soldiers relied on the advantage of the terrain to attack several times without success, and they were supposed to rest all night and fight again, but the next day they found that the officers and soldiers had slipped away at night, yes, Zhou Yuji led his troops to retreat along the canyon at night and actually went around to the north of Quyang, camped on the edge of an unnamed big lake in the west of Tang County.
This lake is in the mountains, surrounded by more than ten mountains, Zhou Yuji smiled bitterly, did not want to chase the thief for a lifetime, but now he was chased into the deep mountains by the thief army, very embarrassed, it was really thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Hedong.
But in any case, fortunately, the chasing soldiers were finally thrown off, and the mountains were well concealed and camped, the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was no shortage of food and drink, but it was also stable, so that the tired and restless soldiers all the way finally breathed a sigh of relief and could sleep peacefully.
But Zhou Yuji couldn't sleep, and convened his generals to discuss, where to go, they couldn't hide in this paradise to watch the excitement when it was hot outside.
The scouts have reconnoitred back, and ten miles east of this place is Tang County, which has long been occupied by the enemy, and further east they have entered the thieves' den, because they have entered the territory of Baoding Mansion!
"Tang County to the northeast and north of dozens of miles is Shunping, and then eighty or ninety miles to Baoding City, but on the way the thief army is all over, it can be described as difficult step by step" Zhou Yuji took a branch and pulled on the ground: "This place is more than 100 miles to the west is Fuping County is located in the deep mountains, and 100 miles to the northwest is the Fallen Horse Pass, these two places can be used as a way out, but where should we go now?" ”
"General, there are thieves going out of the mountains to the east, our men and horses can't get close to Baoding City at all, and they will be eaten, and it is absolutely not possible to go east!" The subordinate general Niu Yong said with a solemn face, and everyone nodded yes.
"Go north to take Fuping, this city is not expected to be big, the thief army is not much garrison, and it is less than a hundred miles away from Baoding City, and we can advance or retreat if we take it" Yang Zhenwei proposed, and the generals thought it was feasible.
Zhou Yuji frowned and pondered, and looked at the four major commanders of Jin Wuwei, their opinions were very important, because this force was his main combat force at this time.
Lu Xing, Zhang Ji, Dong Haicheng, and Liu Suiping glanced at each other, then bowed their heads and muttered for a while, and then said to Zhou Yuji: "I think it's better to bypass Fuping and continue north to Chen Bing Mancheng."
Everyone raised their eyebrows, and then their eyes lit up.
The city is more than 30 miles northwest of Baoding City, but the city of projectiles is close to the deep mountains, retreat, you can go into the mountains at any time to dodge, enter, a stone's throw away, more importantly, the four people think that Shi Kefa will inevitably Chen soldiers to the north of Baoding and the thief army to confront each other, so that the friendly army is close, and they can join forces to resist the enemy, (they did not know that Shi Kefa had been besieged in Baoding City at this time)
With the army from the north to the south to advance, it is much easier than the lone army from the south to the north to kill a bloody road, Baoding east and west and south three sides, the thief army is dense, you are alone in the depth of only a dead end, I am afraid that the whole army has not touched the Baoding city wall.
All the generals felt that it was feasible, so Zhou Yuji ordered a night's rest, and sneaked north along the foot of the mountain tomorrow morning to take the city, and at this time Chang Yu was in Jizhou City and Huang Degong, Gao Jie discussed the westward army tomorrow morning.
