Kong Youde was dumbfounded. Bayi (Chinese (Net?) 〈 ? ］〕)．) ８>１?Ｚ}］．>Ｃ>ＯＭ

Fuck, why did Lao Tzu die when he was still alive and well?

Kong Youde was stunned, staring at tens of thousands of people scurrying around like headless flies, fleeing in panic, letting the officers drink and not being able to drink. Some of the slower runners simply turned around and knelt down on the spot to beg for mercy from the officers and soldiers.

Tens of thousands! Although it was a defeat just now, it was only a small defeat, and theoretically speaking, it should not allow the rebels to rout in such a desperate manner! You know, all the battles along the way are victorious! Even a victory that made the officers and soldiers flee from the wind!

Who would have thought that this small defeat would actually lead to the collapse of the whole army!

When Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were at a loss for what to do while watching tens of thousands of subordinates scatter and flee here, Gao Qiqian and Zu Dacheng in Laiyang City were also sighing and complaining.

It turned out that after attacking Laiyang City the day before yesterday, Gao Qiqian received news from the palace, saying that the emperor had sent Cao Bianjiao's new Liao army to Shandong to quell the rebellion.

Gao Qiqian asked the imperial court to transfer the garrisons of Jimen and Gyeonggi Beizhili, so that he could play with Moli's new Liao army in the palm of his hand, and he had the opportunity to kill Moli and vent his anger. But now the emperor has transferred most of Cao Bianjiao's new Liao army to him, Cao Bianjiao is Moli's old department, how can he obediently follow his orders?

Gao Qiqian was anxious and angry, but there was no way, this was the emperor's holy decree, what could he do. What's more, Cao Bianjiao's army has already gone south to Shandong, and it is impossible to replace it at this time.

In desperation, Gao Qiqian had no choice but to order people to hurry up to find Moli's department, and ordered them to return to Laiyang, and together with Zu Dacheng's department, they pursued and suppressed Li Jiucheng's rebels.

It is best to have a chance to kill Mo Li, and if there is no chance, he can only give up, but it is still good to use his new Liao army to exterminate the rebels and add glory to his own army.

But just as Gao Qiqian and Zu Dacheng were advancing towards Haiyang and ordering Mo Li to come to converge, a bad news came: Haiyang was broken by Chen Qiliang and Li Jiucheng!

But this is obviously not the worst, as the so-called blessing is unparalleled, and the disaster is not a single line, Mao Chenglu and Chen Youde, who were stationed on Phi Island in Dongjiang Town, led 7,000 Dongjiang soldiers to come to respond to Kong Youde's rebellion!

Mao Chenglu is a native of Anshan, Liaodong, the adopted son of Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Phi Dao, and has served as a guerrilla on the right wing of the Phi Island Army, a general of Neiding, and a deputy general of the Dongjiang River. And for a long time, he led Mao Wenlong's family Ding pro-army composed of adopted sons and grandsons and Jurchens, ranking among the sons of Wenlong, and the Jin people called him "Mao Da".

After Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, Mao Chenglu continued to be retained, leading the troops and leading the association, and his strength was also good.

When the Wuqiao Incident occurred that day, Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng were also small officials, Kong Youde was just a general and battalion officer, and Li Jiucheng was a thousand general officials like his son Li Yingyuan. For such an identity, there will naturally be no high-grade military attachés who will follow behind, but all of them are middle- and low-level officers.

Come to think of it, if you are the deputy general of the general army, who wants to rebel with the blood of the soldiers drinking the blood of the soldiers.

But Mao Chenglu is different, he has the title of commander of the Jinyi Guard, which was rewarded by the court for Mao Wenlong's sake after Yuan Chonghuan's death.

Mao Chenglu has 7,000 Liao soldiers under his command, all of whom are the elite left by Mao Wenlong, and he was also a popular candidate for the general army of Phi Dao at the beginning.

Perhaps in order to appease the generals left by Mao Wenlong, Chongzhen awarded Mao Chenglu the rank of commander of Jinyiwei and conferred the rank of deputy general. The deputy general is the deputy commander-in-chief, and in the Dongjiang River, except for the chief officer Huang Long, that is, Mao Chenglu, is the largest.

After Kong Youde attacked Dengzhou under Geng Zhongming's cooperation with foreign officials, Mao Chenglu immediately led his troops across the sea to join him, and he didn't care at all that he was the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Mao family's industries in the Dongjiang River.

What prompted Mao Chenglu to follow Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng, who were younger than him, to get into trouble, and later there were different opinions in history, and the more credible statement is that Mao Chenglu was weak in his heart, because Huang Long, the chief soldier of Phi Dao, was ready to impeach him for colluding with Dongyu.

What was the reason for Mao Chenglu's rebellion, whether Mao Chenglu colluded with the Tartars, the current Gao Qiqian is unknown, and he doesn't care too much, he only knows that Mao Chenglu's 7,000 elite Dongjiang soldiers joined the rebels, and his situation will be very dangerous.

What's worse is that Mao Chenglu's 7,000 Dongjiang soldiers have already boarded 6 from Dengzhou and are rushing towards Haiyang, and they want to join forces with Li Jiucheng to counterattack Laiyang City!

Mao Chenglu's 7,000 Dongjiang soldiers are not Li Jiucheng's subordinates, most of whom are coerced by the rabble, Dongjiang Town because it is located in the strategic point between Daming Shandong, Denglai and North Korea, and Liaodong Town, has always been the bridgehead of the Ming Dynasty against the Jurchen Tartars, when Mao Wenlong was there, he commanded the Dongjiang soldiers and the Jurchen Tartars to fight dozens of battles, although almost the vast majority of them were small-scale raids, but this also restrained the Jurchen Tartars' troops, so that they did not have the energy to attack the Ming Liaodong with all their might.

And these dozens of battles have also sharpened the combat power of the Dongjiang soldiers, at least they are not comparable to those Taiping soldiers who have not seen blood and have not been on the battlefield. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, perhaps only the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen can be compared.

And after such a strong combat effectiveness of 7,000 Dongjiang soldiers and Li Jiucheng and Chen Qiliang's 20,000 troops converged, it was definitely not something that the thousands of corrupted Beijing soldiers and Shandong Lu soldiers under his command could compete.

Just walked halfway and prepared to attack Haiyang, but learned that Mao Chenglu's 7,000 soldiers and horses had advanced to Qixia's high dive and panicked, and immediately made an extremely wise decision after urgent discussion with Zu Dacheng and others: immediately return to Laiyang, and rely on the city to stand for help.

At the same time, he sent people to give instructions to Mo Li, who was "still pursuing the rebels", and Cao Bianjiao, who had already marched to Shandong, and immediately rushed to Laiyang to support.

Gao Qiqian and Zu Dacheng had just fled back to Laiyang City, and immediately ordered the city defense to be rectified and the city wall was strictly guarded to prevent the rebels from attacking the city to retaliate.

Sure enough, less than four hours later, the rebel Li Jiucheng gathered thousands of troops from Chen Qiliang's troops, as well as 7,000 elite soldiers from Mao Chenglu and Chen Youde's troops who had just arrived to respond, and rushed to Laiyang City with great momentum, wanting to avenge yesterday's one-shot attack and recapture Laiyang City.

Zu Dacheng couldn't help but secretly scolded Li Jiucheng for this guy who really wanted to take revenge, and said that it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but he was good, and he wanted to take revenge as soon as he turned around, and he was not a gentleman.

Scolding and scolding, fighting a war is not a game, what should you do, what do you have to do. Li Jiucheng and Mao Chenglu were not verbose, and began to attack the city fiercely as soon as they arrived at Laiyang City. Zu Dacheng organized the defenders of Laiyang City and the people to resist desperately and resolutely fought back.

Li Jiucheng knew that a city wall in the southeast corner had been blown down yesterday, and even if the Ming army built it immediately after entering the city, it would not be so strong, so he commanded the artillery team to storm the place.

However, Zu Dacheng is not a fool, Li Jiucheng wants to get it, how can he not know how powerful, at the moment he is heavily defended in the southeast corner, and the artillery power is also very strong.

For a time, the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle in the southeast corner, only to see that the sky was full of artillery fire, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and even the earth was shaken.

In terms of troops, Gao Qiqian, Zu Dacheng and others had a total of more than 13,000 defenders, and Li Jiucheng's troops also had nearly 20,000 troops after merging with Mao Chenglu, Chen Qiliang and others.

Moreover, the defending side of the city will suffer, because Li Jiucheng can concentrate his forces to attack one place, but Zu Dacheng cannot concentrate his troops in just one place, and the four walls must be guarded by troops. In this way, the forces are scattered.

Li Jiucheng and Mao Chenglu stormed Laiyang City, but Zu Dacheng, Tao Kewang, Liu Zeqing, Wu Sangui and others knew that they had just defeated Li Jiucheng, and they were eager to take revenge at this time, and they would never show mercy, only desperately resist the attack of the rebels, otherwise they would die an ugly death.

Therefore, Zu Dacheng and other Ming troops relied on the city wall to fight back, and the soldiers of the whole city hated the same enemy, and their morale was very high, and they repelled the rebels' attacks again and again.

On several occasions, the rebel generals Chen Youde, Zhang Tao and others even led people to attack the city, but fortunately, Wu Sangui, a young general, was extremely brave and led his troops to repel the attack of Chen Youde and others in time, forcing Chen Youde to retreat to the city under the desperate protection of his own soldiers, otherwise he would not even be able to save his life. Especially Zhang Tao, who was stabbed in the left chest by Wu Sangui with a shot, almost died in the city.

Due to the desperate resistance of the Ming army, the rebels could not break through the city defense of Laiyang City for a while, and the sky was dark again, so Li Jiucheng had to order the troops to be withdrawn and come to attack the city again tomorrow.

After hearing that the rebels collected their troops and returned to the camp, Gao Qiqian, Cui Dabao and others breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing that the rebels had attacked the city, Gao Qiqian was even frightened, his face was pale, and he didn't know what to do.

When he knew that it was Wu Sangui, a young general who was less than twenty years old, who killed the rebels who attacked the city, Gao Qi couldn't help but nod his head and praise, and said: "It seems that this Wu Sangui is a general!" There is a son like this, I think that Wu Xiang Wu General Soldier should not be bad, maybe it is not known that Mo Li did his hands and feet. Hmph, think that Mo is away from the thief's wolf heart, and know that he has not deceived the emperor? ”

Cui Dabao also nodded again and again, and said flatteringly: "My father-in-law is reasonable, then Mo Li is not a good thing, my father-in-law is besieged by rebels here, and he doesn't know where to be happy!" The father-in-law was ordered to supervise the army and supervise the army, and this reward and punishment can be completely determined by the father-in-law......"

He raised his jaw and said: "Yes, well, when we go back, we have to ask the emperor for Wu Sangui!" ”
