Chapter 222: Who to Scare
There is a small city of Jinyuan more than ten miles south of Taiyuan, which can be the gateway of Taiyuan, and it has become a ruin at this time, and the arsonist Zhou Yu Ji also.
The southern wasteland of Jinyuan is endless, the clouds are thick, and dozens of groups of people and horses are fighting in the wilderness, not giving in to each other, which can be called tragic.
Fighters, thieves and officers and soldiers!
In the afternoon, Chang Yu made a decision to end the vanguard of the thief army, Zhou Yuji planned the overall situation, Niu Yong was in charge, Yang Zhenwei, and He Chengxin were the pioneers.
Tactics: Ambush, multi-force crushing, quick victory.
In advance, he went to the vicinity of Jinyuan to ambush and annihilate him, but there was a prerequisite that the thief army could not find the abnormality, so Zhou Yuji ordered the officers and soldiers to explore the horse to snipe and intercept the thief army spies and not enter within five miles of Jinyuan City.
Just when Chang Yu and Zhu Xianxuan were fighting in the Black Dragon Pond in the north of the city, Niu Yong had already mobilized 30,000 horses out of the city, and rushed to the predetermined destination of Jinyuan, waiting for the thief army to enter.
Niu Yong led the troops out of the city, Zhou Yuji sat at the head of the city, although Chang Yu had a reassuring shot before, he still didn't dare to be careless, after all, there were too many accidents and emergencies in the night, and the so-called soldiers were not tired of deceit, and they could be counter-ambushed by others!
Be careful to make the Wannian ship, although he did not go out of the city in person, but he sent a big horse to explore the horse, and ordered that the whereabouts of both the enemy and us within fifty miles south of Taiyuan should be mastered.
When Chang Yu arrived in Nancheng, it was already dark, and when he appeared, Zhou Yuji stared at him for a while before he said lightly: "It seems that the factory has won!" ”
"Hey, it's just a matter of raising your hand", Chang Yu shrugged, seeing that Zhou Yuji was a little unhappy, and estimated that he was the dignified commander of Dongchang and the overseer of Taiyuan.
"General Zhou is here to strategize, but he doesn't know what the situation is in the south?" Chang Yu stood in front of the sand table in the lobby and looked at it, reached out and took the teacup handed by Fang San and drank it all, and looked up at Zhou Yuji: "Where are the ambushes?" ”
Zhou Yuji walked over with a calm face: "The south of Taiyuan is full of wilderness plains, no mountains, no forests, and no ambushes.
"So what?" The corners of Chang Yu's mouth twitched.
"So our army ambushed here," Zhou Yuji stretched out his hand and pointed to Jinyuan City.
"In the ruins, there are hidden ambushes, not a good move, of course, a dangerous move!"
Seeing Chang Yu bowing slightly, but his eyes were solemn, Zhou Yuji said: "Does the factory still have a strange move?" ”
"No," Chang Yu shook his head slightly.
Zhou Yuji sighed: "Then let's wait for the good news again" said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, looking at the darker and darker sky outside the door.
"Report, factory man, the people have arrived, waiting under the city!" At this time, a Dongchang fan hurriedly came over to report.
Chang Yu smiled at Zhou Yuji: "You wait for good news again, let's go south and have a look."
"Didn't the factory master say that he was not interested in making peace?" Zhou Yuji raised his eyebrows.
"Suddenly, I was interested, I wanted to kill a few people and come back to sacrifice wine and drink" Chang Yu laughed, turned around and strode away.
Chang Yu went out of Beijing this time, with 300 eunuch troops, more than 100 people who participated in the battle in the city, some damage at this time the military camp rested, and more than 100 people were taken out of the city by Wu Mengming to get silver, just now 100 people just participated in the war and also need to return to the camp to rest.
Fortunately, there are Teng Xiangwei and the advance guard of the government army in the barracks, he has another move at this time, and he needs manpower, although these two guards were each taken away by Wu Mengming 100 people, there are still more than 200 each.
"Teng Xiangwei, the government army and guards count 400 people" are waiting for the dispatch of the factory princess! Under the Great South Gate, Cheng Ming's deputy Li Zhong led Teng Xiangwei, and Zhou Tianpeng led the government guards, fully armed and ready to go.
In addition, there is a team of people led by Li Tiezhu and Fan Jiaqian, this team is not many in number, and the dress is not standard, but they are all fierce and abnormal, but they are the family members of Jiang Xuan, the former general soldier of Datong, who was taken to Taiyuan all the way after being subdued by Chang Yu, and used as logistics on weekdays, and was also pulled out at this time.
Putting on his helmet and armor, turning over his horse, and taking the long knife handed by Fang San, Chang Yu's eyes coldly swept the team of more than five hundred people in front of him: "Take you to see the blood, but you have the courage to go with this governor!" ”
"Swear to the death!" Li Zhong and several other leaders took the lead in shouting, and then the subordinates behind him screamed loudly.
Chang Yu sneered in his heart, regardless of whether you swear to the death from the bottom of your heart, but if anyone under Lao Tzu's order does not obey, it will be a dead end.
In fact, he thinks a little too much, you must know that first, he is in a high position, and his subordinates are afraid of him, second, he rewards and punishes people and treats his subordinates with compassion, and his subordinates respect him, and third, he is brave, bold, careful, and heroic, and can even be said to have outstanding military achievements, and his subordinates obey him!
So under his command, his subordinates really obeyed him from the heart.
Let's go!
Seeing that it was not early, Chang Yu ordered the team to go out of the city.
The city gate was wide open, five hundred people rode out of the city, Chang Yu carried a knife behind, and the waves in his heart were surging, to see what is the actual combat ability of these heavenly guards?
These days, his direct subordinates, that is, those eunuchs, have followed him, fought, suppressed bandits, and even some of them went to the battlefield, although their performance was not outstanding, but they were not satisfactory, after all, they were all half-monks.
And these are all professional soldiers in front of them, and they are pro-army of the Son of Heaven, but most of them are on duty in the imperial city in addition to drills on weekdays, and their actual combat experience is not worth mentioning, but they don't know how they will perform on the battlefield later!
The eunuch army belongs to his descendants, and he can't bear to be reluctantly sent over to be injured in vain, but these two guards are professional soldiers, and it is their duty to go to the battlefield, and they cannot be retreated.
There were dead and wounded, and that was their life!
After lowering the drawbridge and crossing the moat, there is a dense ditch, which stretches for five miles, and the ditch is full of sharpened branches, and the slightest accidental fall is through the intestines.
There is a zigzag avenue in the trench, which can be used by soldiers and horses to travel, and slowly walk through the five-mile trench position, which is a horse and a flat river.
Chang Yu shouted, five hundred iron horses galloped and disappeared into the twilight, looking at the western mountain from afar, the twilight was heavy, and the night was coming.
At the head of Taiyuan City, Zhou Yuji supported the wall and looked into the distance, Cai Maode and Wang Jimo hurriedly came, looked at the distant people in the twilight, and asked curiously: "What is the factory going out of the city at this time?" ”
"A belligerent person is either fighting or on the way to fighting!" After Zhou Yuji finished speaking, the three of them couldn't help but smile a little.
At the beginning of the night, the cold wind is fierce, more than ten miles south of Jinyuan City, a group of people and horses on the official road slowly go north, about nearly 20,000 people.
In the marching formation, the two generals walked side by side with their sleeves tightly wrapped, whispering, secretly scolding the damn cold weather.
These two people are Li You, Bai Minghe, is the vanguard of the thief army, can be called the best partner, since Li Zicheng began the Eastern Expedition, the two were pioneers, the first to cross the Yellow River to clear the obstacles for the army, and then because Li came first, the two were the front, and took the east road to sweep.
At this time, the Ming army on the east road had already retreated, and the two were transferred to the forward position, leading 15,000 men and horses to open the way for the army and approach Taiyuan City.
"Brother Li, the situation has changed recently, and the officers and soldiers have stumbled several times in a row, is it unusual?" During the march, Bai Minghe's brows kept frowning, and he opened the conversation.
Li You bit his lip and nodded slightly: "Since the crossing of the river, there has been no resistance between hundreds of miles, and the officers and soldiers from all over the country are frightened and flee when they hear the wind, but these Japanese officers and soldiers have made repeated moves, first Zhou Yuji and plundered the two generals, and then dispatched the whole city to perform a big drama, and actually played Lao Niu and others around, and what is even more terrifying is that Li Laiheng's kid was assassinated by a spy in the old camp, Li Guo was also put on a table at noon yesterday, if it wasn't for the battle in the evening to find the field, the people in the old camp would have lost face."
Bai Minghe smiled slightly bitterly when he heard this: "Brother Li is far away, the actions of the officers and soldiers are abnormal compared to before, we should be careful, otherwise it will be our brother who will lose face."
Li You nodded, looked around and said: "What we encountered before was a small city, the officers and soldiers knew that they were invincible, the Taiyuan city wall in front of them was thick, and Zhou Yuji was a famous general, and he had his own hand in marching and fighting, so he really had to guard against it."
"I haven't heard of Zhou Yuji being so treacherous before," Bai Minghe snorted.
Li You sneered: "Not only treacherous, but also cruel and ruthless, you didn't see the Jingguan in the south of Jiaocheng, it is said that the lord was furious when he heard about it, and ordered to kill all the Ming prisoners in the first battle of Jiaocheng."
said with a slight pause: "But I have also heard that the person who met Ji Zhou did not have such means, but the person behind him did it?" ”
"The man behind it? Who? King Jin? Or is it the old Cai head? "Bai Minghe doesn't know.
Li You shook his head and looked around, and said in a low voice: "I heard that it is a eunuch, the prison army of Taiyuan!" It seems that Li Laiheng was killed by him! ”
Li Bai and the others are the peripheral generals of the thief army, and they should not know the secret that Li Laiheng was killed by Chang Yu, but there are too many mountains in the thief army, and they are all factions, and this so-called secret has already been quietly leaked out.
Bai Minghe couldn't help but be clever: "The eunuch is an incomplete person, if he is really perverted, he will catch that eunuch after the city of Taiyuan is broken, and he will see what kind of goods it is!" ”
"What else can you do, what kind of goods can you have, what kind of goods without eggs" Li You laughed.
"Report to the general, ten miles away is Jinyuan City, this city has become a ruin, and there is no one in sight." While the two were talking, there was a report from the Malays.
"Is there anything strange around?" Li You asked.
"Not yet investigated"
Before dark, the subordinates reported that the officers and soldiers had fought with his men several times, and they were not allowed to cross the line, and in the end, it was only after the large group of men and horses advanced that the other party did not give up and retreated.
The officers and soldiers have retreated to the city of Taiyuan, and the high walls of the city are thick and waiting for the rabbits, why are the horses still so tough?
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Second General Li Bai is also an experienced veteran driver, and based on the abnormal performance of the officers and soldiers in the past few days, he feels that they are going to do something again!
But as for what to do, they still couldn't figure it out after discussing it for a long time!
The first officers and soldiers retreated to Taiyuan City, obviously according to the fortifications of the high walls of the city, and they would not easily clash head-on when they went out of the city.
The second officer and soldier had just gone through a rout, and fled back to Taiyuan City, a hundred miles away, from Jiaocheng, not to mention that the men and horses were tired, but they were afraid of losing a lot, and their morale was low at this time, so it was not suitable to fight.
Third, the strength of Taiyuan City is estimated to be only about 50,000, and the previous Jiaocheng has been damaged, coupled with the fatigue of people running for hundreds of miles, Zhou Yuji will definitely not dare to take out this bit of people in this state at will.
These three reasons are very sufficient, which is why Li Zicheng dared to send a vanguard of less than 20,000 people to swagger and take the first step, which is also the reason why Li Bai's second general dared to open fifty miles with the main force.
Because they decided that the officers and soldiers had the courage to go out of the city at this time, coupled with the previous preconceived habits: after all, Li Baier was just such a person when he set off from Xi'an, and he also took the lead, unstoppably clearing obstacles, and he and his assistant drove more than 100 miles, not just majestic and unstoppable.
So Li Zicheng didn't even worry about the pioneers, so General Li Bai is very confused now.
Wonder what the officers and soldiers are going to do in this matter? Anyway, you don't dare to go out of the city, and I'm not afraid of you when you go out of the city, but what do you want to do when you let Tanma behave so toughly?
Psychological warfare!
Although the second general did not understand this term, he understood the meaning of this term, and the officers and men deliberately did this, that is, they made themselves suspicious, did not dare to move forward, or did not dare to camp nearby, so that they were afraid that they would not eat well or sleep well all night!
To put it bluntly, it's to scare silver!
Damn, who to scare?
After the two figured out the joint, they immediately ordered the Tanma to investigate the surroundings, let the team march in a hurry, camp outside Jinyuan City tonight, rest for the night, and Chen Bing Taiyuan City tomorrow morning!
