Chapter 135: Second attack on Ganzhou

A short and tragic battle, almost within a pillar of incense, came to an end.

I don't know if it was Li Guo who beheaded the generals before the battle, so that the Xia army lost its command and the formation was in chaos. Li Guo still adheres to the key to a quick decision, and does not dare to delay time a little. Therefore, the battle was fought very quickly.

Wait for Zhang Yingyuan to feel it.

There was only one corpse left.

The sky was bright, thousands of cavalry were surrounded, and Zhang Yingyuan arrived at the battlefield.

When he saw the corpses all over the ground, he couldn't help but be furious and said, "After only killing hundreds of horsemen, you will retreat." ”

There were only more than 1,000 corpses all over the ground, and some of them were Li Guo's subordinates. Obviously, during the war, Li Guo's subordinates were not unscathed. And the time is too tight, there is no time to clean up the battlefield. It can only give the seriously injured a painful one.

Zhang Yingyuan was very disappointed with the situation on the battlefield.

Although he was slapped in the face by the situation on the battlefield, he was a veteran after all, and he had seen a lot of wins and losses. It didn't take long to calm down.

However, he was more disappointed by the specific situation on the battlefield.

Cao Yingjingcai, which can be said to be the only horse team in the world back then, has collapsed when the casualties are less than one-sixth. This doesn't look like Cao Yingjingqi at all. The elite cavalry of Cao Ying, in his heart, could not say that he would fight to the death and not retreat, but he would never retreat with such a large number of casualties. And in the case of the army on the side.

"Grandpa, please give us another chance, let us atone for our crimes." More than a dozen generals knelt on the ground and said.

"The last general asked for orders to pursue Li Guo, but if Li Guo is not enough, he will not come back."

For a while, there was nothing to say.

Although these were softened for a while, after all, they were fought out, and they were just lax. Seeing this situation at this moment, they themselves are ashamed. They all asked for war.

Zhang Yingyuan said: "No need. The word "chop" hovered several times in his mouth, and he couldn't say it after all, many of these people were old brothers who followed him, and there were not many old brothers back then, so how could he bear it and kill him in a fit of anger. said: "Pull it down, and take sixty military sticks seriously." ”

"Yes." Immediately his own soldiers pulled them down, and 1510 beat the military sticks.

These sixty military sticks came down, but they cost these people half their lives, and they couldn't get up if they didn't lie in bed for a month or two. However, compared to a small life, it is nothing?

"Let's go back." Zhang Yingyuan said after cleaning up the battlefield.

"Grandpa, aren't you going to chase Li Guo?" Someone asked.

"No more chasing." Zhang Yingyuan said: "Before Ganzhou City is taken, I won't go anywhere. ”

The reason why Zhang Yingyuan made the same decision was that this defeat sounded the alarm bell for him, and he found that he had made a mistake in judging the combat effectiveness of his command. At the same time, it was also determined that Li Guo was a hard stubble, after all, he was a general who had followed King Chuang for many years.

If there are fewer people sent, I'm afraid there will be an accident, and if there are more people sent, I'm afraid there will be an accident here in Ganzhou City.

Because after this one, Zhang Yingyuan had a feeling that the fruit of Ganzhou City was almost ripe after more than a month of siege, and it seemed that it could be taken down with a light touch. So he wants to focus on Ganzhou City.

Some of Zhang Yingyuan's judgments are correct.

At this moment, it can be said that people in Ganzhou City are panicking, and I don't know how many civil and military officials are at a loss, because they don't know what to do when they find that Zhang Kuang, who is the real person in charge of the city, suddenly disappeared.

A group of people in the government office, messy discussions, saying everything, some people went to invite He Tengjiao, some people wanted to surrender, some people looked like this, lost hope in defending the city, and flicked their sleeves and went home. No more business.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not good, the summer thieves are ready to attack the city." A man ran in, and he didn't know who to tell for a while, so he had to shout.

"What ----" was originally talking about the people, but they were silent for a while. After a moment of silence, he spoke again.

Someone said, "Haven't you been attacking the city for a few days?" Why is the siege again today? ”

Someone said, "Go to the city, send someone to the city?" But no one listened to this fellow's words at all.

"The erector is not enough and the plan." Someone cursed.

"Ahem, ahem." A violent cough. An old man walked out and said, "What's the noise, I'm not dead yet." ”

This person is He Tengjiao.

"Meet Master Ho." Everyone said in unison.

Prestige is a thing that I can't explain, but it works a lot of the time. He Tengjiao is like this, he didn't care about things before, but now as soon as he comes out, all the officials have the backbone to win over for a while, although the situation outside has not changed. But they were much more relieved at once.

"Lord Zhang and General Li went out of the city to fight, and now they have not returned to the city, the Xia thieves have attacked the city again, and they also asked Inspector He to preside over the overall situation." I don't know who said it.

"Please also ask the superintendent to preside over the overall situation." Everyone spoke in unison, and the sonic shook the rubble.

"Okay." He Tengjiao was not hypocritical, and said: "Someone." ”

"The end will be." Several generals came out of the column and said.

"Hold my banner, and I will patrol the city." He Tengjiao said.

"Yes."

In the rumbling cannons, the soldiers of the Xia army pushed countless siege equipment to rush up, hope building, hole car, railing car, etc., all kinds of siege equipment, at least in the height of the zhangyu, the highest and the city wall level, this section is Zhang Yingyuan Although there is no siege, but the preparation of various siege equipment, but a lot, all of them are laid out at this moment, under the cover of artillery, and strive to siege the city.

And Zhang Yingyuan also clearly felt the weakness of the Ming army at the head of the city. said secretly: "As I expected, today's battle may be able to determine the winner." ”

It's just that something he never expected happened, only to see a big flag with the word "He" floating on the city wall. Everywhere he went, morale was high, and the offensive of the Xia army was immediately defeated. The Ming army seems to have changed as a person.

Zhang Yingyuan held the clairvoyant mirror and stared at the old man under the flag, who was He Tengjiao. couldn't help but sigh and said, "He Tengjiao is not dead, Ganzhou will go south." However, if you sell me the flaws yourself, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

At this moment, Zhang Yingyuan had already inquired about the news of Fushougou, and had already sent someone to find it, and all the culvert exits sent from Ganzhou City, except for a few that were too small, or directly to the tribute water, and the outlets discharged in Zhangshui, must be cleared out one by one.

Zhang Yingyuan did not plan to attack.

First, he felt that this Fushougou was already something on the bright side for both sides, and he would definitely strengthen the defense in the city. The acupoint attack may not be able to beat down, and secondly, the situation in this Fushou ditch is complicated, and the sewer in this Ganzhou city is called Fushou ditch? It is not to take a good fortune, but the trend of Fushougou in the underground, like the words "Fu" and "Shou", which are especially noted to be traditional characters. It can be seen that it is cumbersome, and when you walk into the unknown terrain, you don't know how to die.

However, this does not prevent Zhang Yingyuan from taking advantage of this place.

After all, there is Zhang Xuan's pearl and jade in front, how Zhang Xuan used gunpowder to collapse the Changsha city wall, Zhang Yingyuan has also heard about it, after all, Zhang Xuan has one, that is, the Wang Cannon Department, which will serve under Zhang Yingyuan, and many things will naturally spread.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yingyuan said to the people around him: "Send someone to Changsha immediately, and ask the general to send Hu Quede to take a trip." ”

"Yes." The people around him immediately said.

Hu Quede is because of the tomb robbers, and he himself has no other talents except digging holes, even if Zhang Xuan intends to promote, he will serve the public. And Hu Quede is also uncomfortable, he is now Zhang Xuan's doorman. Or a guest.

Zhang Xuan gave him moon silver in the name of the Zheng Guo Mansion. He doesn't have to do anything, he spends money every month, and it can be regarded as the life of a god for him. He originally wanted to find a famous family in Changsha Mansion and become a mother-in-law. After all, Changsha City has just changed the dynasty, and many high-ranking officials and nobles have become prisoners.

A famous girl who is unattainable on weekdays, and now is a good time to start.

It's just that Zhang Yingyuan's letter is destined to shatter his dream.

Just when Zhang Yingyuan launched the second round of offensive against Ganzhou City, Li Guo finally left Jiangxi and entered the territory of Guangdong. At this time, Li Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
