Chapter 610: Deterrence

Li Zicheng's face on the south bank of the Qingshui River was pale, a few hours ago he was confident and full of pride, how could he have expected the situation to develop like this, we have gathered the wisdom of dozens of people, but we have become the current situation, are we all waste.

Seeing its violent thunder, the thieves were silent and did not dare to speak, and their hearts were also inexplicable, obviously their own side had the advantage everywhere, and the opportunity was everywhere, and the situation was obviously very good, how did it suddenly become like this, the soldiers were divided into three roads, and the two roads were hit head-on, all the way to no avail, and in order to protect the main force this way, but also sacrificed two men and horses in vain, until several generals were deeply encircled at this time life and death are unknown.

"The Lord is angry, this is the loss of the two fronts in the northwest that affects the overall situation, at first glance, our army has suffered heavy losses, but in fact, it has not broken its muscles and bones" Niu Jinxing stood up hard: "Most of the casualties are those temporary patchwork of displaced people......" was about to continue, but Li Zicheng roared angrily: "Liu Fangliang, Gu Ying, Gao Yigong, Zhang Nai's department is almost wiped out, and there are few people who have escaped back, and you still say that you have not injured your muscles and bones, you ......"

"Lord, listen to the words of the minister" Niu Jinxing rose to the wind: "Although there is damage at the moment, the previous goal has not been achieved, but it has also attracted all the officers and soldiers near Baoding City to show their original form, the total number of horses inside and outside the city is only forty or fifty thousand horses, and there are few remaining in addition to the damage, how can we fight our hundreds of thousands of troops, and there is an opportunity to counter the army at any time now."

Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at the officers and soldiers on the other side, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you saying that it is better to attack at this time, and to kill them directly while their soldiers are tired."

"Exactly!" Niu Jinxing clapped his hands vigorously, the thieves couldn't help but be happy, the officers and soldiers had been exhausted after fighting for a long time, and the main force of the thieves had used cannon fodder to send them to death before attacking the city, and the elite was waiting for the final blow, and then the situation changed abruptly, they didn't have time to cross the river and retreat to the shore before they had time to play.

There are tens of thousands of elite main forces, and there are cannon fodder available, and they were afraid of being swept away by the wave of rout and hurriedly crossing the river to set up a defense, but now they have a firm foothold, so why be afraid, wouldn't it be better to fight directly with a backhand!

The thieves whispered and conspired more and more to feel that it was feasible, Li Zicheng even couldn't help but raise his head and laugh wildly, as Niu Jinxing said, although it seemed that he had suffered heavy losses, he finally attracted the officers and soldiers over, and when his troops were tired, the officers and soldiers would inevitably be defeated, and they could only retreat into Baoding City.

After the agreement, the thieves were overjoyed, and Li Zicheng wanted to order an attack, and the displaced people in the pioneer river rushed to the opposite bank, and then covered up the past, but at this time, someone exclaimed that there was a change on the other bank.

When Li Zicheng and others heard the news, they raised their eyes and suddenly turned pale, only to see a heavy cavalry in a murderous array in an open space on the other bank, a big banner in the array, a big "palace" on the book, and a horse in front of the formation, with heavy armor waving his arm and raising his sword to demonstrate!

The thieves were shocked, they had seen this flag in Taiyuan

Gongzi flag, little eunuch!

Since the officers and soldiers established a defensive line in the north a few days ago, there are all kinds of signs that the little eunuch is coming, but there is no evidence to support it.

No wonder the original situation was very good, how could they be beaten up for some reason, no wonder the officers and soldiers can always anticipate the enemy's opportunities, it turns out that the cunning little eunuch is behind the scenes.

It's just that he's not south, how did he come here!

The thieves were puzzled, Li Zicheng's face was cloudy, he glanced sideways at Niu Jinxing next to him, and just saw Lao Niu's panicked gaze, both of them thought of a terrifying thing in their hearts: the little eunuch struck the west, led Li Guo and Luo Hu and other main forces to the south, and must have dug a pit over there waiting for them.

"This gelding is so despicable that he wants to eat his flesh!" Li Zicheng roared, but he also knew in his heart that the soldiers were not tired of cheating, and the little eunuch also had the ability to play tricks.

There are officers and soldiers in Zhaozhou in the south, and the displaced people in Zhending Mansion are in chaos, these are all dug pits, and I am afraid that Li Guo will fall into the trap if he is not careful, then there will be tigers in front of the wolf and behind the tiger, and the situation is also dangerous.

Whether to fight or not at the moment, Li Zicheng began to hesitate! If the attack crossed the river in one fell swoop and routed the officers and soldiers or surrounded the city of Baoding, even if the rear was in chaos, he still had more hands to deal with, but at this time, as soon as the little eunuch appeared, he and the thieves hesitated, because they knew that they were too insidious and cunning, and Bao Buqi had already dug a pit on the opposite bank for him to rush into.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he deliberately showed his identity to scare himself, but who knows if he deliberately let himself think that he was scaring himself, false and true, Li Zicheng felt that his head was about to explode.

"Lord, to fight or not to fight?" Niu Jinxing and the others were also undecided, and no one dared to make a decision, because no one was willing to bear the consequences, and they all focused their eyes on their boss Li Zicheng.

"Liu Zongmin led his troops to hold this line of defense, and the rest of the troops slowly retreated to the rear ten miles on the bank of the Qingshui River to build a second line of defense, enter the camp for a little rectification and then discuss, and quickly move south to inform Li Guo to return to the camp, so that Ma Shiyao, Ren Jirong, and Gu Kecheng quickly cut through the chaos to quell the civil unrest and send troops to attack Zhaozhou, defeat the officers and soldiers, and open up the retreat route to prevent accidents."

Li Zicheng finally didn't dare to send troops to fight over.

Seeing a commotion in the thief army on the other side, and then withdrew in an orderly manner, Chang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was not a god after all, and he calculated that Li Zicheng would lose this three-line battle, but he didn't think that he could stop the loss in time to block the artillery hole with the partial division to cover the retreat of the main force and quickly establish a defensive line, and successfully contain the rout of the defeated army, otherwise he would be able to chase and kill the camp of the Qingshui River branch ten miles away.

When he saw that the thief army refused to defend on the other side of the river, although the morale was declining, the army was still strong, and he was worried that if it was a counterattack, he was afraid of being defeated, he knew the true state of the officers and soldiers at this time, and the troops around Baoding City were gathered here, but the people who were tired for a long time were still able to fight except for the more than 10,000 men and horses of Teng Xiangwei, and they were all tired at all, and they could not stop the counterattack of the thief army at all, and if they retreated into the city, they would all be trapped.

What are you afraid of, when you are worried, you see that the thief army began to transfer troops, knowing that Li Zicheng wants to counterattack, and when the generals are at a loss, he is clever and shows his identity.

During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang used an empty city plan to scare back the enemy army, and Chang Yu revealed his identity and made a fool of himself, so that Li Zicheng couldn't figure out the depth for a while, this was a pretending strategy!

Sure enough, when Li Zicheng saw him appear, he was shocked and did not dare to attack rashly, so he ordered his subordinates to retreat ten miles back and build a second defense line to rest and recuperate, and move when the time comes!

When the enemy went, the generals' hearts were light, and Chang Yu immediately ordered Teng Xiangwei to resist the river and confront the thieves, and the rest of the troops cleaned up the battlefield and entered the city to rest.

This battle was fought from the beginning of the hour to nearly two hours in the afternoon, and the officers and soldiers defeated the thief army Liu Fangliang, Gu Ying, Gao Yigong, Zhang Nai, Hao Shaoqi, Bai Guangen, Chen Yongfu seven men and horses, killed thousands of thieves and captured more than 10,000 prisoners, captured the thief head, Hao Shaoqi, Bai Guangen, Chen Yongfu, artillery, war horses and countless armaments.

Chang Yu led the generals into the city, and the people in the city cheered, which was very lively.
