Volume 7 Chapter 51 Two Cities in One Day

Li Dingguo succeeded in the surprise attack and took Huoshan in a battle.

Before the thieves in Huoshan City could even react, they were beaten by him and surrendered, at this time, his face was faintly excited, looking at the thieves lying on the ground, he suddenly shouted: "Hurry up, take off your clothes!" ”

"Ahh , This cold day, even let people take off their clothes, this is the city wall, the wind is very strong, very cold.

Although the thieves didn't know why this handsome little general asked them to take off their clothes, the bravery of this little general had already scared them to the core, and no one dared to resist, so they all obediently took off their clothes.

Liu Wenxiu didn't know what Li Dingguo wanted to do, he couldn't help asking, "Brother Dingguo, why did you let them take off their clothes?" ”

Li Dingguo smiled and said, "Wenxiu, didn't you notice, they didn't expect us to rush over so quickly." ”

Liu Wenxiu was still puzzled: "I know, but what does this have to do with undressing?" ”

Li Dingguo shook his head and explained with a smile: "We still have to attack the mall, if we can wear their clothes and gallop over, wouldn't the thieves in the mall be even more unexpected?" ”

When Liu Wenxiu heard this, he couldn't help but be convinced: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, Brother Dingguo, you are so smart." ”

Li Dingguo said proudly: "When the time comes, I'm afraid they won't know what's going on when I go up the city wall, hehehehe." ”

Liu Wenxiu was about to "laugh" with him a few times, when he suddenly saw a disgusting guy in his eyes who had taken off only a pair of pants, and he was ready to continue to take them off!

He hurriedly shouted: "Hey, hey, what are you doing, just take off your coat, why are you all stripped naked, not afraid of the cold?" ”

Only then did the thieves understand that the officers and soldiers only wanted their coats, and they hurriedly put on the remaining clothes, and then threw the coats in front and piled them up.

Li Dingguo glanced down roughly, the thieves in front of him were less than a thousand, and the number of coats was far from enough, he thought about it, and simply went to Liu Wenxiu and said: "Wenxiu, you hurry up to the other city walls, let all the prisoners take off their coats, and then take all the coats here." ”

When Liu Wenxiu heard this, he went in a hurry, but Li Dingguo did not order his subordinates to change their clothes, but stood in front of the city gate and looked straight at the official road in the distance.

After a while, a dense black dot appeared on the official road, which was the foot soldier they left behind.

He hurriedly ran down the city gate, ran to the city gate and waited, and when the foot soldiers came, he immediately arranged for the general commanders of each thousand, took over the city defense of the entire Huoshan City, replaced the fine cavalry, and ordered the elite cavalry to put the thief's coat outside, and then snatched the coat from Liu Wenxiu's hand, put it on his body, and advised: "Wenxiu, you take 5,000 foot soldiers to garrison here, remember, if it is not for Lord Zhang, Lord Lu, Lord Qi, or familiar brothers to come, you must not open the city gate." ”

Liu Wenxiu was a little reluctant and said: "Brother Dingguo, you take me to the mall, just leave a few thousand generals here to guard." ”

Li Dingguo said solemnly: "No, the thousand presidents are not subordinate to each other, it is easy to pass the buck, you have to stay here, what is there to fight in a small mall, in the future, I will take you to fight the big city." ”

When Liu Wenxiu heard this, he had to nod and said, "Okay, Brother Dingguo, you should hurry up, otherwise it will be too late." ”

What he said is too late is not to say that the time is urgent, and it will not work if you don't hit the mall immediately, but it is not early, and it is almost time, and the mall is still far away more than a hundred miles away, and it will take at least an hour to beat the horses and gallop over, if you don't hurry up, people will close the city gate, it will be troublesome, and the general city will close the city gate at night, not to mention the war nearby.

When Li Dingguo heard this, he nodded, then turned over, waved his hand and galloped to the west with more than 2,000 horsemen, behind them, there were nearly 3,000 foot soldiers, driving the carriage to follow, they brought more carriages, leaving 5,000 foot soldiers to guard Huo Mountain, the number of carriages was enough to plant the remaining foot soldiers all the way to run wild.

The mall does not belong to Luzhou Mansion, not even to Nanzhili, after Huoshan County is the boundary of Henan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, Mall is a small county town under the rule of Henan Runing Mansion, because it guards an entrance to Dabie Mountain, it was also taken by the peasant army.

Li Dingguo went all the way non-stop, led the army to run wildly for an hour, and finally arrived at the mall around the hour of Youshi, because they were wearing the special blue-gray "uniform" of the fifth battalion of the leather left, and the defenders of the mall really did not react at all, until he led the army into the city, a small team with more than a dozen people under his command ran up and asked: "Which big throne are you, is there anything wrong here?" ”

Li Dingguo turned over and dismounted, and said urgently: "I am the Zuojin Throne and will not accept it at night, what about your old management team, hurry up and take me to see him, I have an urgent military briefing." ”

At this time, the people in the peasant army who can ride horses are all uncles, and they are the cronies of the major leaders who don't collect at night, and the small pipe team heard this, and quickly nodded and said: "Our old team is on the city wall over there, what is the emergency military situation?" ”

Li Dingguo said "anxiously": "It's said that it's an emergency military situation, what are you talking about, hurry up and take me over." ”

When the little team heard this, they hurriedly nodded and led the way in front, and led Li Dingguo and his party to the city wall.

The thieves in the city didn't realize that these cavalry were officers and soldiers, but the old team on the city wall felt a little wrong, because these people were too well-equipped and too neat, could it be that King Zuo Jin found the armory of officers and soldiers in Luzhou City?

The walls of this mall were not high, and he naturally heard what these people said below, as soon as Li Dingguo walked up, he greeted him and said enthusiastically: "I don't know what King Zuo Jin commands?" ”

When Li Dingguo heard this, he said proudly: "Are you the old team here?" ”

Don't look at this old management team sounds rustic, like a grassroots team leader, in fact, there are generally dozens of teams under an old team, and there are dozens of teams under a team, and there are more than ten or twenty people under each team, that is to say, there are even tens of thousands of people under the larger team of old teams, they are already senior officers in the peasant army, this guy has this attitude, King Zuo Jin sat down at night, the old team immediately snorted with a straight face: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Li Dingguo also snorted coldly, and then raised his hand, it was a shot!

Before the old team could figure out what was going on, he fell down with his bloody neck, and the thieves around him were suddenly dumbfounded, and the little team leading the way stammered in fright: "You, you, what are you doing, this is our old team!" ”

"Hmph", Li Dingguo snorted coldly again, raised his hand and shot again, and the little pipe team also covered his neck and fell.

This time the city wall is fried, what do you mean, why is this person so crazy, as soon as he ran up, he killed their old pipe team and small pipe team, "Qiang Qiang Qiang" A sound of drawing a knife sounded, the thieves on the city wall and the elite brought by Li Dingguo pulled out their sabers almost at the same time, and another small pipe team came up and raised their knives and roared: "What do you mean?" ”

Li Dingguo raised his hand and shot again, stabbing the team to the ground like lightning, and then he slammed the gun to the ground and shouted: "I am a guerrilla general under the command of the governor of the five provinces, and you will not quickly lay down your arms and surrender." ”

, after a long time, this guy turned out to be an officer and soldier, surrender, how could he surrender!

Not far away, a team ran up, drew a knife and roared: "Kill these dog officers and soldiers to avenge the old team." ”

Li Dingguo snorted coldly again and waved his gun and rushed forward, "swish" A burst of gunfire swept by, and the dozens of thieves who rushed up were quickly stabbed to the ground by him, he raised his spear and said sharply to the hesitant thieves in front of him: "Put down your arms and surrender, otherwise, die!" ”

This guy is too fierce, this is only a little more effort, he has killed dozens of people!

"Bang", I don't know who threw the knife in his hand to the ground, and then there was a dense sound of weapons landing on the city wall, "Jingle bell", and the thieves on the east city wall fell in response.

Li Dingguo led his men all the way from east to south, and then from south to north, and in less than half an hour, all the thieves in the entire mall surrendered in fright.

Within one day, under two cities, Li Dingguo fledgling and achieved amazing results, and since then, the name of "Xiao Wei Chi" has spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is a later story, at this time, the thief Kou still doesn't know the name of "Xiao Wei Chi", Ma Yingshou and He Yilong and others are discussing whether to retreat at this time in the Yamen of the Luzhou Prefect.

Li Dingguo had already taken Huoshan and the mall like lightning, and they didn't know it yet, but Zhang Bin, the governor of the five provinces, was leading 40,000 officers and soldiers to press over from the direction of Chaoxian, but everyone here knew about it.

Ma Yingshou said with some reluctance: "Why don't we withdraw, the officers and soldiers are powerful, and we don't need to fight with them." ”

Originally, the tactic they set was that the officers and soldiers would retreat when they came, but they ran away without fighting, and the others present did not agree very much, He Yilong said in a rough voice: "What are you afraid of, these officers and soldiers can't do it, when they attacked Yongcheng, they didn't fight it for three days and three nights, and we were afraid that they wouldn't succeed if we defended a city?" ”

He Yilong is also a fierce horse, in his opinion, Gao Yingxiang can even hold a small Yongcheng, and they have no problem holding the Luzhou capital city at all.

He Jin then nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that there were 50,000 officers and soldiers at that time, but there were only more than 40,000 officers and soldiers from Chao County at this time, what are we afraid of them doing?" ”

The reason why he said this was not because he was not afraid of officers and soldiers, but because he was reluctant to Luzhou City.

They haven't captured such a rich city yet, how can the city in the northwest be compared with this Luzhou city, where flower streets, willow alleys, restaurants and restaurants abound, eating, drinking, and playing everything, although most of these places cost some money, but they have robbed for so many years, there is no shortage of money at all, where to find this fairy day.

Liu Xiyao and Lin Chengcheng also nodded and agreed, they were robbing things and grabbing cool, the local tyrant and squire in this place are called rich, is it really enjoyable to grab it.

Ma Yingshou shook his head and sighed: "Yongcheng had 200,000 troops under King Chuang at that time, as well as reinforcements from Breaking into the Sky and Shooting Heaven, of course 50,000 officers and soldiers can't take it, we don't have 200,000 troops here, and no one has reinforcements, can we hold it?" ”

He Yilong said in a rough voice: "How do you know if you haven't tried it, Luzhou City is much bigger than Yongcheng, and the city walls are much higher, and the officers and soldiers can suddenly grow wings and fly up?" ”

These words are reasonable, He Jin, Liu Xiyao and Lin Chengcheng nodded in agreement.

When Ma Yingshou heard this, he could only say helplessly: "Okay, let's try, everyone prepare well, the officers and soldiers are less than thirty miles away from here, and they will come to attack the city tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, just after the arrival of Chen, 40,000 officers and soldiers really appeared a few miles east of Luzhou City, at this time, Zhang Bin had received the news that Li Dingguo led the army to sneak attack, and even two cities in one day, Huoshan and the mall have been taken by them, and Ainengqi and Feng Shuangli also took Yingshan, there is only one Macheng left, and it is estimated that it can be taken today.

In this way, the thieves will not be able to enter the Dabie Mountain, and it is time to attack.

It's not that other places can't enter Dabie Mountain, mainly other places have no roads, thieves can climb into the mountains from anywhere, the problem is what to do with the weight of grain and grass, you can't take any vehicles when you climb the mountain, horse-drawn carts, donkey carts, and carts can't do it, and even, as long as the slope is steep, the war horses can't be brought in, and the thieves will leave all the grain, grass and horses and flee into the mountains, it's obviously impossible.

Zhang Bin looked at the layout on the city wall with a telescope, and then ordered: "Wang Shangli, Bai Wenxuan, Ma Yuanli, Zhang Hualong, quickly lead his men and horses to make ladders, and before the afternoon, we must build two hundred." ”

When Wang Shangli, Bai Wenxuan and other four young generals heard this, they hurriedly surrendered their orders.

Zhang Bin then ordered: "Lu Xiangsheng and Qi Yuangong, immediately sort out the guns and ammunition, prepare the earth and stones, and launch an attack on time in the afternoon, and we must knock down Luzhou City today!" ”

He actually wanted to knock down Luzhou City in one afternoon, is it possible?

Although Luzhou City is not as good as the Xiongcheng City like the capital and Jinling, it is also twenty or thirty miles in radius, the city wall is more than two zhang high, and there is a moat outside, is it a bit unrealistic to take it down in the afternoon?

Lu Xiangsheng and Qi Yuangong didn't feel strange at all, they simply said yes and obeyed the order and went down to prepare, but Ma Yingshou and He Yilong and others on the city wall were dumbfounded, He Yilong couldn't help but be surprised: "What do the officers and soldiers mean by this, they are not even in the camp, and they just ran to cut down the trees, do they think that this Luzhou City can be defeated in one day?" ”

Everyone didn't know what was going on, but Lin Cheng thought he was wise and said: "I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers are trying to lure us out of the city to raid, but I didn't see them disperse like this, obviously trying to lure us." ”

He Jin couldn't help but be surprised: "No, we are not sick, why do we go out of the city to fight them?" ”

Lin Yangcheng shook his head and said: "Haven't you heard of the battle of Shenyang, Jiannu was lured by the old and weak soldiers, and the chief soldier He Shixian was in the plan, leading the army out of the city to pursue, but he was ambushed by Jiannu and fled in a hurry. Although this Luzhou city is not as good as Shenyang, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, the officers and soldiers are afraid that they want to follow the example of Jiannu, lead us out of the city to raid, and then take the city gate by the way, and easily take Luzhou! ”

When Ma Yingshou and He Yilong heard this, their faces were full of admiration and nodded in praise.

When Zhang Bin heard it, he was afraid that his teeth would laugh off, to deal with their rabble, can he lure them out of the city to raid, just attack hard!
