Chapter 377: Soldiers Coming to CD
In order to cope with Li Dingguo's tired strategy, after two days of marching, Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu had to let the army camp on the spot to recover their spirits.
"Hmph, the Ming army really stopped and camped to rest!" More than ten miles away from the Ming army camp, Li Dingguo heard the scout's report and sneered.
"However, it's not that easy, my Li Dingguo's tired strategy is not so easy to break!" Li Dingguo looked extremely calm, although he lost nearly 20,000 horses under the continuous sneak attacks along the way, but there were still 80,000 horses under his command, and there was a lot to do.
That night, Li Dingguo personally led an army of 80,000 to attack the Ming army's camp at night, vowing not to let the Ming army rest.
The camp of the Ming army.
Li Dingguo has his strategy, but Qin Liangyu is not a vegetarian, he can rely on 8,000 white pole soldiers and more than 100,000 troops to contain the entire Daxi Kingdom in Lizhou, so that Zhang Xianzhong has not been able to develop for many years, Qin Liangyu's talent is no less than Li Dingguo, and even surpasses Li Dingguo.
"Li Dingguo will come to rob the camp tonight!" Qin Liangyu broke Li Dingguo's strategy with one sentence.
"Oh? How did General Qin know? Zhou Cao asked.
Qin Liangyu shook his head: "It's hard to say, but the old body dares to guarantee that there will never be a mistake!" ”
Qin Liangyu seems extremely calm and confident, although she is an old lady in her sixties, Qin Liangyu can be called She Taijun alive, her words and deeds are convincing, and she is worthy of being the first legendary female general of the Ming Dynasty.
"Since General Qin is so confident, this army commander believes what General Qin said, and the Ying Long Army is at the mercy of General Qin's arrangement!" Zhou Cao said solemnly.
Although Qin Liangyu is a female general, as the commander of the Second Army of the Yinglong Army, Zhou Cao does not have the pedantry of those hundred officials in the court, he knows that Qin Liangyu's strategy is far above himself, so Zhou Cao does not trust it, and everything is aimed at completely destroying Zhang Xianzhong.
"Thank you Commander Zhou for your trust, thank you here!" The so-called army can only have one general, and the military order is only issued by one person, Qin Liangyu is not polite to take on this great responsibility, Zhou Cao's deep understanding of righteousness makes Qin Liangyu admire, and he is even more satisfied with Zhou Cao, and his heart for matching Zhou Cao and his granddaughter Ma Yue'e is deeper.
"Kill" In the early hours of the morning, as Qin Liangyu expected, Li Dingguo really personally led his troops to rob the camp.
80,000 soldiers of the Western Army took advantage of the dark night to enter the Ming army camp from the east.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "Because it was expected, the Ming army quickly organized a counterattack.
The two armies fought fiercely, and the Great Western Army that came to attack was the elite trained by Li Dingguo himself, with a degree of attack and defense, and strong combat effectiveness, and it was inseparable from the Ming army for a while.
Li Dingguo rode on a war horse and calmly looked around the battlefield.
When at least 20,000 Western troops entered the Ming army's camp, the situation suddenly changed dramatically.
"Do it!" Seeing that the number of the Great Western Army that had entered the camp had reached Qin Liangyu's requirements, Zhou Cao did not hesitate to order the Ying Long army around him to act.
"Kill"
Tens of thousands of Ying Long troops were killed in an instant, cutting off the retreat of the 20,000 Western troops who had entered the camp with lightning speed.
"The Ming army was actually prepared!" Li Dingguo's expression was sharp, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he was not surprised.
Li Dingguo and Qin Liangyu are old rivals, and both of them are jealous of each other.
"Withdraw!" Li Dingguo did not hesitate to order a retreat.
This is the time to retreat, which means giving up the 20,000 Western troops that have entered the camp of the Ming army, Li Dingguo is not heartbroken, but he knows better that this is the wisest choice.
Because Li Dingguo quickly retreated with the 60,000 Western troops on the periphery, the 20,000 Western troops who had already entered the Ming army camp were like turtles in an urn, and it was impossible to escape.
"It's a pity that you can't besiege all of Li Dingguo's horses together!" Qin Liangyu watched Li Dingguo lead his troops to retreat without hesitation, and said with great pity.
Qin Liangyu didn't want to annihilate Li Dingguo, but she knew very well that it was impossible, Li Dingguo would not let her have such an opportunity, if Zhou Cao moved a little later, Li Dingguo would probably withdraw directly, after all, Li Dingguo was just tired of the army, not really wanted to defeat the Ming army by robbing the camp, so Qin Liangyu retreated and only ate Li Dingguo's 20,000 troops.
Without the support of Li Dingguo, 20,000 were cut off by the Ying Long army, and the Great Western Army besieged by hundreds of thousands of Ming regiments naturally had no chance of survival, and in less than half an hour, the 20,000 Great Western Army was completely annihilated.
With the annihilation of the 20,000 army, there were only 60,000 horses left under Li Dingguo's command, plus Qin Liangyu and Zhou Cao were always vigilant, Li Dingguo had fewer opportunities to sneak attack and rob the camp.
Two days later, the 150,000 troops of Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu's combined army came to Chengdu, and at this time, Li Dingguo had already returned to Chengdu.
The Imperial Palace of the Great Western Kingdom.
"Hmph, Li Dingguo, I heard that you only sent troops to rob a battalion, and you lost more than 40,000 troops, what should you be guilty of!" At any time, Luo Rucai wanted to step on Li Dingguo fiercely.
Li Dingguo didn't bother to pay attention to it, and only said to Zhang Xianzhong.
"Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent, please punish Your Majesty!" Li Dingguo did not refute Luo Rucai's words, he did cause Daxi to lose a lot of soldiers and horses this time.
Although Zhang Xianzhong is brutal, he still has great trust in Li Dingguo and Luo Rucai.
"Okay, okay, but there are only more than 40,000 troops, and then recruit after the war, let's think about how to annihilate the Ming army that dares to attack Chengdu!" Zhang Xianzhong stopped and said with a cold face.
The last time Luo Rucai attacked Wuchang, he lost more than 80,000 troops at once, Zhang Xianzhong didn't punish Luo Rucai much, and this time of course he won't punish Li Dingguo.
However, Luo Rucai didn't think so.
His Majesty is so biased towards Li Dingguo, damn it! Luo Rucai gritted his teeth, extremely angry in his heart.
Although he was not convinced, Zhang Xianzhong said so, and Luo Rucai did not dare to say anything against Zhang Xianzhong to anger, so he was only angry in his heart.
Zhang Xianzhong did not take the Ming army outside the city seriously, and after only discussing a few words with Li Dingguo and Luo Rucai, he still let Li Dingguo and Luo Rucai have full authority to organize and deal with the Ming army outside the city, while he himself was still drinking and having fun in his harem of the Great Western Kingdom.
After being the emperor for several years, Zhang Xianzhong's ambition has been worn out a lot, and his hedonistic mind is heavier, he only thinks about repelling the invasion of the Ming army and keeping his Great Western Kingdom, as for what to fight for hegemony in the world, he has long lost that heart.
With the Ming army encamped under the city of Chengdu and the Manchu Qing secretly entered Sichuan with red flags, a tragic battle of Chengdu was about to begin.
