Chapter 407: The City is Broken
Dedication to the city, the four of them quickly reached a consensus. Li Junkai said: "Lord Zhuang, Li Cheng still has 5,000 soldiers under him, and there are 30,000 puppet Qi troops outside the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill him." ”
"There is difficulty, it is necessary, but if Brother Du is willing to sacrifice, then there is no difficulty." Zhuang Bojun's face showed an evil smile, and it seemed that he had eaten the other party.
"Lord Zhuang, don't sell it, say it, what to do, I don't care, as long as I can sacrifice the city without danger, I am willing to make so many sacrifices."
"Burn down the Zhuoyun Tower, the generals led by Li Cheng basically soak in it every day, and burn the Zhuoyun Tower, then most of the problem will be solved, and the next step is to open the city gate. The guard of the north gate is Sun Biao, the son-in-law of Chen Xiandi, I believe that it is not a big problem. ”
"You're crazy, there are hundreds of people in the Zhuoyun Tower, after the fire is burned, won't we become sinners." Du Hongyu's family has a great cause, and although he burned down Zhuoyun Tower, although he lost tens of thousands of yuan, it was nothing to him, but he really couldn't bear to burn hundreds of innocent people.
Zhuang Bojun shook his head and said, "This official is a Sven man who has read the books of sages and sages, how can he do such a hurtful thing? I believe that it should not be too difficult for my virtuous son-in-law to drug in Zhuoyun Tower. After the people were charmed, the others quietly withdrew, and then set fire to the building. In the name of fighting fires, we will control Heze City, and the big thing can be decided. By the way, virtuous son-in-law, so how do you contact the Han army outside? ”
Li Mingqi said: "The Han iron cavalry outside the city has always maintained a fighting state, the eight thousand iron cavalry are divided into two shifts, as long as there is a fire in the city, within a quarter of an hour, the four thousand iron cavalry will be killed, as long as we can hold out for half an hour, then the overall situation can be determined." ”
Without harming the innocent, this plan was quickly recognized by everyone, and everyone acted separately.
Under Du Hongyu's arrangement, all the shops began to evacuate the idle people step by step the next day, as soon as it was dark, leaving only hundreds of sturdy guys, waiting for the fire to start, intercept the officers and soldiers who ran out of the Zhuoyun Tower in the name of fighting the fire, and hunt and kill.
The members of the dragon tooth team entered the Zhuoyun Building early under the leadership of Li Mingqi, and evacuated the guys from the Zhuoyun Building in an orderly manner. Of course, acting should be realistic, and I didn't tell anyone in Zhuoyunlou before, so that many little girls, girls, and old mothers fainted.
The girls who fainted were sent out one after another, and at the third watch and three quarters, only Li Cheng's subordinates were left in the Zhuoyun Building, lighting a fire, and burning down the Zhuoyun Building, which was worth tens of thousands of yuan.
The flames soared into the sky, after this scene appeared, Niu Gao, who was far away outside the city, could see clearly, this was the appointed time, and under his leadership, four thousand Han iron horsemen rushed to Heze City like a torrent of steel.
The deputy general Liu Hai also set off with 4,000 iron cavalry, and their task was to prevent Kong Youde from leading his army into Heze City. It was obviously not enough for 4,000 cavalry to attack 30,000 infantry, but there was no problem in holding back 30,000 infantry for an hour or two.
Once Niu Gao's 4,000 cavalry rushed into Heze City, they would be able to control the situation at the latest, so Liu Hai only needed to complete the blocking task.
The flames were soaring, even a fool could know what was going on in Heze City, Kong Youde immediately realized that it was not good, so he ordered his second brother Kong Youzhi to lead the army to the rescue.
The soldier's answer made Kong Youde a little dumbfounded, not only was the second brother not there, but even more than half of the generals were not in the camp, obviously going to Heze City to be happy.
More than half of the generals were absent, and in this case, the command of the army was somewhat chaotic, and the dispatch time was delayed by half an hour than normal.
In similar incidents in the past, Kong Youzhi basically charged into battle, and Kong Youde defended the camp, after all, he still had news that he was sneak attacked. This time, Kong Youzhi was not there, which made Kong Youde unable to make up his mind for a while, what he was most afraid of was the Han army's suspicious plan, which was actually to lure himself out of the camp so that he could take the opportunity to occupy the camp.
You must know that if the 30,000 army holds the camp, it is difficult for the 8,000 cavalry to attack the camp, and in this case, it is completely possible for the Han army to use the strategy of suspicious soldiers to lure the snake out of the hole.
After thinking about it, Kong Youde didn't dare to take risks, and in the end he chose to let Fang Bao lead an army of 5,000 to rescue Heze City. Five thousand infantry to aid is obviously not enough, but Fang Bao's straw bale can only lead so many troops, and no more can be commanded. The sad thing is that none of them are here, and they all went to Heze City.
5,000 infantry encountered 4,000 cavalry, what was the battle situation like, it was simply lice on the bald man's head clearly looking for abuse.
Seeing that only 5,000 infantry rushed out of the Puppet Qi battalion, Liu Hai decided to change his tactics, and he ordered the 5,000 Puppet Qi troops to be divided and surrounded, and hunted, not intercepted, but hunted.
The 4,000 cavalry surrounded the 5,000 puppet Qi infantry regiments, and the powerful impact of the cavalry was not the infantry resisting and resisting, and soon the 5,000 infantry were scattered by the impact, scattered and fled, and before even half an hour arrived, the 5,000 infantry collapsed on the whole line.
Liu Hai knew that after the five thousand infantry were defeated, then Kong Youde, the old fox, would be pressed by the whole army, to put it bluntly, the vicious battle was still to come, and tonight was destined to be a bloody battle.
4,000 cavalry against 25,000 infantry, the pressure is still quite high, which brings an extremely severe test to Liu Hai, whether it is the main attack or the main defense, for him the choice must not be wrong.
The best defense is to attack, it is obvious that four thousand against twenty-five thousand, the number is a loss, if you wait for the Qi army to attack, there is no doubt that you will suffer a big loss, in this case Liu Hai chose to attack, this battle to make full use of the cavalry's mobility, impact, under the cover of the night to hit the Qi army by surprise.
After making up his mind, Liu Hai began to arrange, and he asked his generals Fang Ming and Kong Liang to lead the previous cavalry respectively to charge from the left and right flanks of the Qi army, not seeking to kill many people, but only to disperse the enemy army. And he himself personally led 2,000 cavalry to resist the Qi army head-on.
The 5,000 soldiers of the front army were almost wiped out, and when it was confirmed that the Han army only had 4,000 cavalry, Kong Youde personally led the 25,000 Qi army to kill it. He has made up his mind about this battle, he will fight if he can fight, and if he can't fight, he will flee, and he is not ready to ask for this big camp again, so he is not afraid of being attacked by sneak attacks.
The puppet Qi army has always been loosely organized, after all, most of them were drawn from the Northern Song Dynasty Xiang army and local strong men, and there was no organization and discipline at all, plus the puppet Qi itself was not a formal country, from the emperor to the soldiers were being oppressed by the Jin people, and even the wife of the puppet Qi emperor Liu Yu was slept by the Jin army general A Chihu, and how strong the combat effectiveness of the soldiers could be expected.
Getting up in the middle of the night to fight, and also having to face the powerful Han Iron Cavalry, in this case, the pseudo-Qi soldiers seem a little abrasive, and they are soldiers to eat, definitely not to send them to death.
The ranks of 25,000 soldiers were sparsely furrowed, stretched out seven or eight miles away, and this marching formation was the most vulnerable to sneak attacks. If on weekdays, Kong Youde would never allow the soldiers to be so casual, the problem now is that most of the generals are trapped in Heze City, and the soldiers are in a management vacuum, like headless flies, in this case, he does not have too strict requirements for the soldiers.
Experience is the most vicious poison that kills people, according to Kong Youde's forgotten experience, the main task of the Han army is to take Heze City, in this case, the cavalry on the periphery should be mainly defensive, and they will never dare to rashly use 4,000 cavalry to attack their own 25,000 infantry, that is, in this wrong psychological state, Kong Youde acquiesced to the team to be so long.
Suddenly, rockets pierced the dark night sky, followed by dense arrows overwhelmingly, and the footsteps of war horses and horses' hooves on the ground announced that the cavalry attack had begun.
The soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, Kong Youde did not panic, this guy ordered the soldiers to fight back. More than half of the generals below were not there, and in this case, it was difficult for the military order to reach the bottom, so that the soldiers seemed to be in a panic, and in the face of the cavalry attack, the Qi army that hastily met the battle fell into unprecedented passivity as soon as they came up.
Passive is a small thing, the big Han iron cavalry copied from the three breads, this kind of siege three missing one is the largest pit dug by the cavalry for the infantry, thousands of years of cold weapon combat history, the infantry clearly know that it is a pit, but still keep jumping in, after all, no one is killed, how can the infantry resist the cavalry with strong impact?
The Han cavalry was like a herd of brute bulls, rushing into the ranks of the Qi army, and then rampage, constantly using the powerful impact of the cavalry to impact the disheartened pseudo-Qi army.
The puppet Qi army lacking generals was quickly overwhelmed by the three sides of the Han Iron Cavalry, and the three were missing one, and seeing that there was a gap, these greedy guys who were afraid of death retreated like a low tide, and they couldn't stop it.
In front of him, the army of live shrimp collapsed and fled in all directions, in this case, Kong Youde knew that the general trend had gone, and he had no intention of fighting, so he led hundreds of soldiers to flee.
Liu Hai is not a greedy person, his task is to block the puppet Qi army to aid Heze City, and now he has defeated the enemy army, in this case, he did not order to attack.
The black lights are blinding, and when this group of pseudo-Qi troops scattered and fled, many of them were in a panic, and finally put on the big Han iron cavalry, which was destined to be washed in blood.
The most unlucky, there is no doubt that it is Kong Youde, this family still led hundreds of personal soldiers to break through successfully, but not far away came a larger team of cavalry, led by the official new generation of war God General Yue Fei.
Kong Youde is a gentleman, this guy knows that he is full of evil, and if he catches it, he will die, so he led his own soldiers to rush and kill him.
Yue Fei had never heard of Kong Youde, and when he saw that the other party was extremely brave, he personally carried his gun into battle and beheaded him in less than three rounds.
Although the city fell into a bitter battle, but because almost all the generals of the puppet Qi were burned to death in the Zhuoyun Tower, in this case, how could those puppet Qi soldiers withstand the Han iron cavalry, and most of the soldiers chose to surrender after resisting for less than half an hour.
When Yue Fei arrived, the battle in the city was basically over, and Heze City was basically taken without bloodshed, Yue Fei meant that the magistrate continued to maintain order in Heze City, and the prefect Zhuang Bojun continued to manage the city.
Xiaocao also has a dream like a big tree, after Zhuang Bojun married the puppet Qi Emperor Liu Yu, he seemed to regard himself as a relative of the emperor, and now he is willing to be a small prefect.
The current Zhuang Bojun is obviously not suitable to go to the Eastern Capital to visit the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, but his son of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty will soon come to Shandong to inspect the world.
Although Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, has the disease of being a widow, this does not mean that he does not refuse beautiful women, and it does not mean that he does not know what Zhuang Bojun's psychology is.
In the eyes of Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, literati should have the ethics of literati, Zhuang Bojun took refuge in Liu Yu, and served as the prefect of the pseudo-Qi is already a heinous look, and he even wants to use beauty to make a fuss about himself, like this kind of person can't stay, this is a hidden danger and get rid of it quickly.
Zhuang Bojun died of a bizarre illness, his son served as the prefect of Heze, and his youngest daughter Zhuang Ziyi finally chose to go to the eastern capital to find her sister, and later stayed in the palace. As for why no one has made it clear, anyway, the two sisters have not been implicated by their father, and they have been prosperous and rich all their lives.
How to attack next, Niu Gao and Yue Fei had a fierce argument, Niu Gao meant that he should attack with all his strength and go straight to Jinan Mansion. And Yue Fei means that the time is not yet ripe, if he forcibly attacks Jinan Mansion, it will definitely stimulate the puppet Qi Emperor Liu Yu, in this case the pressure is too great, it is better to take Jining, Zaozhuang and other places first, encroach on Shandong little by little, and finally realize the siege of Jinan Mansion.
This time, Niu Gao and Yue Fei fought red-faced, and neither of them refused to back down, and in the end they had no choice but to wait for Zhang Xian and Dong Xian's army to arrive before deciding the battle plan for the next battle.
Just when Niu Gao, Yue Fei and others were resting, 30,000 Han kings rode to kill, this was the last time Xiao Li Guanghuarong led the team to the expedition, this time with His Majesty's holy decree.
The will of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is very clear, that is, to give up the attack on Jinan Mansion, to take down the prefectures and counties of Shandong one by one, to force the puppet Qi Emperor Liu Yu to surrender, and to designate Yue Fei to lead the army to attack Jining, Niu Gao to lead the army to attack Dezhou, Zhang Xian to take Zaozhuang, Dong Xian to take Linyi, Han Shizhong from afar to send troops to Rizhao, Yang An'er to take Qingdao, and at the same time the Han Navy to log in and take Weihai and Yantai.
