After several days of serious consideration, Li Xiao came up with a very bold battle plan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This battle plan was that Li Xiaojun abandoned the border city of the town and pretended to be the Qing army to sneak attack and occupy Fangshan County, in order to attack and kill Yanguli, one of the commanders of the Qing army's three routes.

Originally, in history, Yanguli would have died in the Qing army's attack on Korea next year, but Li Xiao did not plan to let this executioner, whose hands were stained with the blood and tears of the Han people, live for another year.

Li Xiao's plan is very bold and risky. It's just that Li Xiao did not act recklessly on a whim, but made a solemn decision after careful consideration.

Because, now in Fangshan County, after sending 3,000 elites to itself, there are only more than 2,000 Manchurian soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner, as well as more than 1,000 Mongolian soldiers and about 1,000 Han troops left in its city, with a total strength of only more than 4,000 people. And now, there are nearly 7,000 troops, if they can pretend to be the Qing army and sneak into the city, and then suddenly attack, then Yangguli, who is stationed in Fangshan County, will be unable to resist.

Of course, Li Xiao knew that the key to this risky plan was how to deceive the trust of the Qing army defending the city in Fangshan County, so that his own army could smoothly blend into the city.

The reason why Li Xiao is confident in this plan is because he now has a key in his hand to open the county seat of Fangshan.

This key is Yanguli's second son, Tazhan.

According to Li Xiao's plan, it was to coerce Ta Zhan, lure open the city gate, and then after the whole army entered the city, they immediately attacked the Qing army in the city. The commander of the Qing army, Yanguli, is also very likely to be killed by himself in the chaos.

Of course, this plan is also risky. After all, Li Xiao's long-distance sneak attack, if it is recognized by the Qing army and is not allowed to enter the city, then Li Xiaojun, whose advance is blocked and the back road is cut off, is very likely to become the target of the Qing army defending the city and the Qing army coming to aid the Qing army, and thus finally collapse.

It's just that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. Under the circumstance that the benefits far outweigh the risks, Li Xiao thought about it again and again, but decided to resolutely implement this plan.

After all, since ancient times, famous generals have used soldiers, and they are all strange and positive, and there is no reason to blindly fight just a dignified battle. Now that there is such a rare opportunity in front of Li Xiao, Li Xiao has to fight hard.

The plan was set, and next, Li Xiao decided to first escort the grain, grass, gold and silver and other materials in the border city of the town back to Jintang City in advance.

Li Xiao arranged 700 spearmen and 300 auxiliaries, a total of 1,000 escort teams, in addition to escorting back gold, silver, grain and grass, in addition to the captured more than 4,000 Zhenghuang Banner Manchurian soldiers, more than 1,000 Mongolian soldiers, more than 1,000 Han troops, more than 1,500 surrendered Ming troops, as well as the 40 trebuchets, and a large number of earth-shattering thunder ammunition, all brought back to Jintang City.

The reason why he brought the trebuchet and the earth-shattering thunder back to Jintang City was because Li Xiao knew that in the battle of pretending to be a sneak attack on Fangshan County by the Qing army, if he brought these unique weapons of Li Xiaojun, he was afraid that before he got close to Fangshan County, he would be discovered by the Qing army early, and his sneak attack plan would be in vain.

The person in charge of the escort soldiers designated by Li Xiao was the son of the scorpion block, the leader of the Liukou that day, Tuo Xingzhong.

After Tuo Xingzhong and his father and scorpion son Tuo Yangkun surrendered to Li Xiao in Nanyang, Henan, they were sent by Li Xiao to the Golden Wolf Battalion in Jintang City as a spear captain. Because this person took the lead in this battle to attack the border city of the town, he worked hard and killed many people in the Qing army, which left a deep impression on Li Xiao. Therefore, after the war, Li Xiao was promoted from a spearman captain to a spearman sentry commander, and Li Xiao also specially handed over the important task of escorting gold, silver, grain and grass prisoners.

Tuo Xingzhong was very excited to see that he was valued by Li Xiao so much, and he patted his chest and assured Li Xiao that he would definitely transport all the grain, grass, gold, silver and prisoners back to Jintang City, please rest assured that Li Xiao is.

The day before Li Xiao led the army to Fangshan County, Tuo Xingzhong led the team north to return to Jintang City.

Looking at the Qing army captives who had shaved their hair and braided their hair and tied up in a long string, who were scolded by Li Xiao's soldiers and headed north in despair, Li Xiao was very happy.

According to Li Xiao's arrangement, after these people arrived in Jintang City, the coal mines and sulfur mines outside Jintang City were their final destinations, where they would become hard laborers, live in labor reforms, and work hard all day long in the mines that did not see the light of day, to atone for the heinous crimes they had committed.

Although the future is bleak, Li Xiao is quite merciful to treat them like this.

If Li Xiao had been ruthless, he would have beheaded them a long time ago, and he would have allowed them to live until now. Or simply send them directly into the capital, let them be chopped alive by the Ming army in the Beijing camp at the entrance of the vegetable market, and then make it into a Beijing view for the officials and people of the capital to visit, and these captives have no way.

And the reason why Li Xiao is willing to spare their lives is that firstly, it is to increase free labor for his own factories and mines, and secondly, Li Xiao still attaches great importance to the strong combat effectiveness of these battle-hardened guys, and it would be a pity if he was just killed easily.

Li Xiao plans to let them eliminate their unconvincing mood in such a heavy labor reform career, and finally after a period of time, they can honestly serve themselves, so that these elites of the Qing army who have survived a hundred battles can become a powerful help for Li Xiao's southern and northern wars in the future.

。。。。。。

On the second day of the eighth month of the ninth year of Chongzhen, in the cool early autumn weather, an army of nearly 6,000 people set out from the town border city and marched all the way to Fangshan County.

The 4,000 soldiers in front of the team were all wearing yellow helmets and yellow armor taken from the Manchurian captives and corpses of the Zhenghuang Banner, and the 2,000 soldiers behind were all wearing Mongolian soldiers and Han army armor and clothes.

At this time, there is only one empty city left in the town border city, looking back at this fort city where he has lived for more than ten days, Li Xiao, who is wearing Tan Tai's gilt armor, is very emotional.

In fact, Li Xiao also thought about continuing to pretend to be the Qing army in the town border city, and trapping and killing large and small groups of Qing troops in a piecemeal manner. It's just that now after arresting Yanguli's second son Ta Zhan, Li Xiao knows that it may be difficult for him to pretend anymore.

Because, after Tazhan was captured, if he did not send a message to Yanguli in Fangshan County for a long time, Yanguli would definitely be suspicious, and if he came, his own town and city would probably be exposed immediately under the observation of Yanguli, a cautious veteran of the battlefield.

After Yanguli found out that he was a fake, he gathered tens of thousands of Qing troops to attack the border city of this town, which was already seriously damaged and had a very low defense capability, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend again.

Of course, Li Xiao did not allow such a sitting and waiting thing to happen to him.

Therefore, while Yanguli is still unaware, Li Xiao should be the best choice to take the initiative and seize the initiative like this.

The whole army marched all the way, and unlike those smiling Li Xiaojun soldiers, one of Li Xiaojun's people was depressed and angry to the extreme.

This is the tower Zhan who was tightly surrounded in the center by a group of fake Li Xiao soldiers.

Dressed in the original armor, his hands were tied behind his back, his mouth was tied with cotton cloth and he could not make a sound, and his face armor was pulled down to cover the cotton cloth tied around his mouth.

After being imprisoned for a few days, Ta Zhan, who was firmly bound, once planned to die of hunger strike, but unexpectedly, several Ming soldiers came over every day, forcibly broke his mouth, and used a long bamboo tube to insert it into his throat with a long bamboo tube like feeding sick cows and horses who refused to eat, and poured rice soup into it, twice a day, so that Ta Zhan survived in humiliation until now.

Ta Zhan was like a puppet, sitting on his own mount, letting a Li Xiaojun cavalry in front of him secretly lead the reins of his horse forward, his heart full of infinite sorrow.

What to do?

Can I only be like this, like a puppet, being obediently led by these Ming dogs who pretended to be the Qing army to knock on the city gate of Fangshan County, and finally the father and son died together?

No, Lao Tzu will never be willing!

Even if he dies, his father must live. As long as my father lives, the glory and official title of the Shu Mulu family can continue.

If possible, let your beloved son, Aixing, avenge yourself in the future.

There must be a way, there must be a way to make yourself not such a wretched person go to be the key to open the city!

Ta Zhan desperately encouraged himself in his heart.

Ta Zhan desperately opened his mouth, trying to shout loudly, but he couldn't make a sound when his mouth was stuffed with a cloth ball and his lips were tied with cotton cloth outside.

It's just that in such a seemingly futile struggle, Ta Zhan finally discovered a little bit of Li Xiaojun's loophole.

Although this little loophole seems insignificant, for Ta Zhan, it is tantamount to discovering a glimmer of light in the boundless darkness.

That is, after opening his mouth with constant force, with the strength of his jaw, he slowly loosened the cotton cloth that bound his mouth in a very small amplitude. The tongue in his mouth is also exerting force repeatedly, pushing out the stinky cloth in his mouth little by little!

Because of the reason why he was wearing a face armor, when Ta Zhan was doing these actions, Li Xiaojun on the side was unaware.

Ta Zhan calculated the time, with Li Xiaojun's current marching speed, it should take four hours to reach Fangshan County, that is to say, Li Xiaojun, who set off in the early morning, will arrive at Fangshan County before the end of the afternoon.

Therefore, Ta Zhan believes that he will have enough time to slowly loosen the cotton cloth tied to his mouth on the way, and push out the blockage in his mouth little by little.

Ta Zhan stared at Li Xiao who was leading the way in front with a resentful eye, and secretly said ruthlessly in his heart, Li Xiao, who entered the dog, you don't have to be complacent, after arriving in Fangshan County, Lao Tzu will definitely let you and you, the damned Ming dogs, all die outside the city, and they will not die well!

Li Xiaojun, who was marching all the way to the southeast, had a very smooth journey, and as a result, he arrived outside Fangshan County in the middle of the afternoon just a little more than a little more in the afternoon, as Ta Zhan expected.

When he saw Fangshan County, where a large number of Qing troops were stationed at the head of the city not far ahead, and the military flag was fluttering, Li Xiao felt that his heartbeat had at least doubled.

Attacking Fangshan County, success or failure is in one fell swoop!

According to Li Xiao's meaning, Bao Zhao, Ebi Lun, and Chata, three people who knew Manchu, with a group of neatly armored soldiers, surrounded the tightly tied Tazhan and went to lure open the city gate.

"Listen to the soldiers in the city, the master of Tazhan has successfully defeated the Ming army that invaded the city on the edge of the town, and is leading the army to return triumphantly with Lord Tan Tai, please open the city gate quickly and let our army enter the city!"

Chatta stared at the city and shouted loudly at his own defenders.

The Qing army defending the city on the city looked carefully, and the middle of the tightly surrounded by a group of soldiers was the tower with a helmet and armor. So, he hurriedly answered the promise and hurried into the city to report it.

"Oh, Tan Tai and Ta Zhan have defeated the invading Ming army and led their troops back to Fangshan County?" Yanguli, who was in the military tent, stood up from the officer's chair with a happy face.

"My lord, that's exactly what happened. Lord Tan Tai and the second son, they are now leading a large number of soldiers and waiting outside the west gate of Fangshan County, but do they want to open the door and let them enter the city? ”

"Good, good." Yanguli looked happy, and said loudly to his cronie Alinbao on the side: "Alinbao, you will open the city gate first, and Ben Shuai will also come to the west gate to personally triumph for my army and wash away the dust!" “

"The slave obeys the master's order!" Alin Bao smiled and walked away.

When Alin Bao led a few guards and strode towards the west gate of Fangshan County, Ta Zhan, who was sitting in a daze, was trying to use his chin and tongue to push through the loosening of the wrapped cotton cloth and the cloth that came out of his mouth more and more.

Along the way, Ta Zhan, who repeatedly opened his chin and tongue, his mouth and tongue were swollen and numb, and his chin was scarred by cotton cloth, but he didn't dare to relax the strength of his top open, because Ta Zhan knew that if he didn't let his mouth return to the function of free speech at the moment the city gate opened, this Fangshan county would definitely fall into Li Xiao's hands.

Father, I can die, but you must live well, so that my Tazhan's death will be meaningful.

Now, the cotton cloth that binds his mouth is loose, and the cloth in his mouth is only a little bit before he can spit out.

A cold light flashed in Ta Zhan's eyes, and he opened his mouth more and more violently, while pushing the cloth in his mouth wildly.

The hard work paid off, and when the West Gate Suspension Bridge was lowered and the city gate was slowly opened, Ta Zhan finally spit out the cloth ball in his mouth!

At this time, he saw that Alin Bao was walking out of the city gate with a smile and a smile on his guards, and strode in his direction.

"Alin Bao, don't be fooled! They are pretending to be the Ming army! ”

With all his strength, Ta Zhan hissed and yelled at Alin Bao and the others who were approaching.

"Fuck you!"

Bao Zhao on the side scolded angrily, brushed the ground, pulled out a knife, and slashed Ta Zhan's head with one sword!

Seeing Ta Zhan's head rise into the air with a straight stream of blood, Alin Bao's face changed greatly, he was almost stunned, he reacted quickly, but he was stunned for a moment, immediately turned around, and several guards hurriedly withdrew, and fled towards the entrance of the West Gate.

At the same time, the Qing army defending the city began to urgently close the city gate and lift the lowered drawbridge.

"The whole army rushed across the bridge quickly, and at all costs, it was necessary to capture the West Gate!"

Li Xiao, who was watching the battle in the Chinese army, saw that the situation had suddenly become so critical, and he was so anxious that he yelled!

After Li Xiao's words were finished, Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry Sentry Bao Zhao was already in the lead, wielding his knife and slapping the horse, and rushed across the suspension bridge first.

On the side, Ebi Lun and Chata also hurriedly followed, and their horses rushed across the drawbridge.

Behind them, dozens of Qing soldiers pretending to be Li Xiaojun's Xuanhu heavy cavalry and rampant sentry also took advantage of the fact that the suspension bridge had not yet been pulled up, and rushed across the suspension bridge with a roar.

After they rushed across the drawbridge, the drawbridge was pulled up violently, and Li Xiaojun, who was only one or two steps behind, was blocked outside the trench!

"Close the city gate quickly, and you must not let the Ming army enter the city!"

Alin Bao, who almost blew up his lungs, gasped and shouted orders to the Qing army defending the city after successfully running into the city.

The Qing army that closed the gate became even more violent, and the city gate rumbled more and more, seeing that Li Xiaojun's surprise attack plan was about to fall short.

At this extremely critical moment, it was too late, that was fast, Bao Zhao finally took the lead, and the prancing horse rushed to the two huge city gates. At this moment, even people and horses were desperately blocked between the gates of the city that were desperately sandwiched!

"Porphyry!"

A terrible popping sound came, and the belly of Bao Zhao's mount, the huge squeezing force in the two gates, was actually crushed alive, and the dark cyan horse's stomach and intestines, which exuded a grassy smell, were like a dark cyan ball, gushing out from the lower abdomen of this mount, rolling to the ground!

With a terrible scream from the mount, Bao Zhao on the horse also let out a terrible scream, and blood spurted wildly from his mouth.

It turned out that at this time, Bao Zhao's legs were also squeezed into pulp alive along with the rapidly deflated belly of the horse!

But his hands, as if they were made of iron, were still pushing hard, and the two gates were about to be closed tightly!

"Bao Zhao!"

"Captain Bao!"

Seeing this extremely miserable scene, Ebilun, Chata, and a group of Li Xiao's soldiers who rushed across the drawbridge let out a heart-wrenching roar, and they all rushed towards the west gate as if they were crazy.

Bao Zhao used his blood and life to exchange for a precious opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and it depends on whether Li Xiaojun, who is already in a desperate situation, can seize it.
