Everyone was stunned, everyone knew that on the battlefield, it was to collect local information as much as possible, know oneself and know the other, and be defeated in a hundred battles! But Wang Qiaonian's thoughts, who can guess for sure?

Li Xin glanced at Niu Jinxing and said with a smile: "Wang Qiaonian asked He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu to lead heavy troops to camp forty miles east of the city, obviously because they were worried that the soldiers would disturb the people, but in fact, it was naturally to join forces with Zuo Liangyu!" ”

Niu Jinxing smiled at Li Xin and said: "Yes, once we withdraw our troops to Xiangcheng, the Zuo Liangyu Department in the city will inevitably follow, with Shaanxi soldiers blocking in front and Huguang soldiers chasing after us, we will definitely fall into an unfavorable situation." ”

Gao Ligong nodded, yes, if he was attacked by the Ming army in front and back, it would definitely make the soldiers lose their morale!

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "In this way, are you against the withdrawal of troops? ”

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Governor, maybe you can consider dividing the troops!" ”

"Dividing troops is also a good choice," Li Zicheng said: "The Shaanxi soldiers and Huguang soldiers have the same total number as us at most, even if we divide the troops, we are not at a disadvantage!" ”

Niu Jinxing said: "The Metropolitan Governor said that he would allocate a part of his forces to recover Xiangcheng and defeat Wang Qiaonian's troops, and at the same time Yuncheng would not withdraw the siege?" ”

"The division of troops is not evenly divided, but there are masters and secondary, strong and weak," Li Zicheng smiled faintly: "Isn't Wang Qiaonian waiting for me in Xiangcheng?" I'll grant his wish! As for Yuncheng, the number of troops has decreased, and there is no need to besiege the city, so Fang Zuo Liangyu simply went out of the city. ”

Li Ji didn't understand what Li Zicheng meant, and hurriedly said: "Governor Dadu, in this way, isn't it allowed to be attacked by the Ming army before and after?" ”

"Actually, the withdrawal of troops from Yuncheng to Xiangcheng, mainly because the Ming army in Xiangcheng is outside the city, we can start a decisive battle, and we don't need to attack the city," Li Zicheng said: "As for Zuo Liangyu, if he wants to join Wang Qiaonian, he can only follow behind us, if we leave the besieging army in the middle of the road, will Zuo Liangyu dare to follow?" ”

Niu Jinxing laughed: "Governor, this is also a reinforcement, right?" ”

Li Zicheng also laughed, Zuo Liangyu has been cowering in the city, if he wants to break the city, he must attack it, and if the number of people is only twice as large, even if he can break the city, the casualties will be very large.

Wang Qiaonian came to Xiangcheng out of Tongguan, but it was an opportunity for the Heavenly Mandate Army.

Zuo Liangyu got reinforcements, it was possible to go out of the city to fight the Mandate of Heaven Army, as long as he went out of the city, the Mandate of Heaven Army had a chance, plus Wang Qiaonian, if everything was as preset, the Mandate of Heaven Army was likely to defeat the Ming Army in one piece.

He immediately changed his original operational deployment.

All four battalions were withdrawn, and Li Xin's troops set up an ambush twenty miles west of Yuncheng, if Zuo Liangyu dared to follow the Mandate of Heaven army, he could attack halfway, Li Xin's independent battalion had 20,000 soldiers, and against Zuo Liangyu's 30,000, it was an ambush, at least it would not suffer too much.

The remaining three battalions immediately returned to Xiangcheng, and the Chengtian battalion of the Gao Li Meritorious Department was the vanguard, first attracting the Ming army He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu, and the three divisions were close to 20,000 soldiers.

Li Ji's fourth battalion and Song Wen's seventh battalion were the Chinese army, following behind the Chengtian battalion.

The Chengtian battalion is actually a decoy, not afraid of failure, and it doesn't matter if it wins or loses, as long as it attracts the Ming army, it will be considered a complete task.

The real decisive battle was completed by the gunners of the 4th and 7th battalions.

The reason why Li Zicheng put all the gunners on the battlefield was to reduce the casualties of the sergeants; The second is a quick battle, and it is possible to return to the division to annihilate Zuo Liangyu's department, which is the greatest possible consumption of the main forces of the Ming army.

In this battle, the heaviest task is Li Xin, with 20,000 soldiers to ambush Zuo Liangyu's 30,000 Huguang soldiers, if there is an ambush war, Li Xin should not suffer, however, Zuo Liangyu himself is a treacherous man, if the ambush cannot be successful, it is likely to be an encounter.

With three battalions of more than 40,000 people, it was necessary to completely annihilate Wang Qiaonian's department, not only to occupy an absolute advantage in numbers, but also to have rifles and mountain artillery.

Unless Wang Qiaonian does not have the courage to fight, otherwise, the Heavenly Mandate Army is very likely to usher in a big victory.

Wang Qiaonian went south lightly from Luoyang, just to relieve the siege of Yuncheng, if he didn't have the courage to fight against the Mandate of Heaven Army, he simply wouldn't use it.

Li Zicheng is already budgeting for military merits and silver rewards.

In the afternoon, the Celestial Mandate continued to launch small attacks at the gates as usual, and did not withdraw until dark.

Immediately after dinner, the lights were turned off in the camp, and all the soldiers, except for the rangers and the soldiers on duty, went to bed to recuperate their strength.

Two hours later, the battalions began to withdraw, except for the fence and horses, food, baggage, etc., all of which had to be taken away, even the tents would not be left for the Ming army.

The withdrawal was not too big, but the Ming army on duty at the head of the city must have known about it.

Li Zicheng was not only worried about Zuo Liangyu going out of the city to pursue.

The Mandate of Heaven army took the initiative to withdraw the army, occupying an absolute advantage in numbers, the first quarter moon was not clear, the situation outside was unclear, and Zuo Liangyu dared to go out of the city to pursue when his brain was in the water.

Even if he made an appointment with Wang Qiaonian, at least he would not leave the city until after the Mandate of Heaven and confirmed that the Mandate of Heaven army had completely withdrawn.

Zuo Liangyu is more cunning, the more treacherous people are, the more suspicious they are, the Mandate of Heaven Army swaggered and withdrew, and Zuo Liangyu did not take Zuo Liangyu in his eyes at all, and Zuo Liangyu did not dare to go out of the city.

If Zuo Liangyu went against the norm and borrowed the courage to go out of the city to pursue, Li Zicheng would not be able to ask for it, and as long as the superior forces of the Heavenly Mandate Army turned around, it was possible to eat him.

The Shaanxi soldiers were still eighty miles away, and by the time the Shaanxi soldiers arrived, the battle on this side would probably have already ended.

On the evening of 12 February, the Chengtian Battalion of Gao Ligong's Department had approached the camp of He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu, knowing that behind him were the Fourth Battalion and the Seventh Battalion.

The rangers have found out the location of the three large camps of the Ming army, but no one can guarantee that the Ming soldiers are all in the camp, or whether all the Ming troops are in the camp, and the rangers cannot be confirmed.

Gao Ligong came along the official road, and the first person he attacked was the He Renlongbu who was camped in the road.

The sky has not yet darkened, and the Ming army has obviously discovered Gao Ligong's department, and the enemy soldiers meet each other, and they don't need to talk, and the only language is the swords and guns in their hands.

He Renlong stood on the edge of the tent, looking at the Heavenly Mandate Army with a gloomy gaze, densely packed, going forward and successively, he once again saw the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

What to do?

If the bars go down and rely on the camp tents, the officers and soldiers should be able to hold the camp, but what can they do if they keep it, the Mandate of Heaven Army is the vanguard.

Is there going to be a war of attrition?

He Renlong decided to quickly solve the Heavenly Mandate Army, according to the plan of the Governor, the Shaanxi soldiers attacked the front of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and the Huguang soldiers attacked the rear of the Heavenly Mandate Army, if all the departments worked together......

He couldn't contact Zuo Liangyu, but he had to contact Zheng Jiadong and Niu Chenghu's department, and only when the three departments worked together, the officers and soldiers would have a numerical advantage, and even concentrate on annihilating the vanguard of the Heavenly Mandate Army, gradually consuming the strength of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

The battle has begun, and Zheng Jiadong and Niu Chenghu must be brought into the fight as soon as possible.

He Renlong immediately sent heralds to the two divisions, asking them to attack with all their might, attack the Mandate of Heaven Army from the flank, and defeat this part of the Mandate of Heaven Army as soon as possible before the follow-up troops of the Mandate of Heaven Army arrived.

Time passed little by little, the battle continued, it was already completely dark, the soldiers on both sides lit torches and fought at night, and when they were evenly matched, neither of them would retreat.

The cries of soldiers, the clashing of weapons, the cries of wounded soldiers......

Blood and bodily fluids, severed arms and corpses, the ground was in shambles, the battlefield was roaring with a tsunami, and chaotic and discordant sounds were constantly transmitted in all directions.

He Renlong was anxious, for such a long time, even if there were no heralds to pass, Zheng Jiadong and Niu Chenghu should know the situation here, why did the two of them refuse to send troops?

If your lips die, your teeth will be cold, do you sit idly by?

The herald has not yet returned, and He Renlong doesn't know the mentality of the two, but only his own thousands of soldiers are fighting, and the dead are all his subordinates......

He Renlong's face has been cloudy and uncertain, and he is also sitting in his heart with various calculations.

Gao Ligong also secretly complained, the Ming army on the opposite side was only a few thousand soldiers, and not all of them were out of the camp, in the face of the Ming army with a numerical disadvantage, the battle was in a stalemate, if it was defeated at this time, it was too fake, right? He Renlong can't see it?

The battlefield must undergo some changes, and as long as the Mandate of Heaven Army is given the slightest chance, it will withdraw its troops.

If the battle continues like this, will this Ming army be annihilated? With this little force in his own hands, can he annihilate the Ming army on the opposite side?

Gao Ligong shook his head, although the number of the Ming army was smaller than that of the Mandate of Heaven army, it had the support of a large battalion and could not be completely annihilated.

Since it can't be wiped out, there is only one way to cheat!

Gao Ligong looked up at the sky, and the moonlight was much brighter than just now, but in the low sky, it was hazy because of the firelight.

The soldiers who fought with a knife and gun in one hand and a torch in the other, illuminated both themselves and others, and became the target of swords and guns......

There seemed to be a faint sound of footsteps on both sides, accompanied by a chaotic shout, the sound was too far away to be heard clearly for a while.

Gao Ligong listened attentively and filtered out the sound of the battlefield, only to be sure that it was the footsteps and cheers of the crowd running, and a cold smile appeared on his face, and he disappeared in an instant.

"The Ming army has ambushes, retreat quickly!"

The soldiers shouted loudly, spreading the order of Gao Ligong throughout the battlefield.

He Renlong also heard the voices coming from both sides, and knew that it was Zheng Jiadong and Niu Chenghu, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and the addition of these new forces would certainly greatly improve the morale of the officers and men, and the battle would definitely develop in the direction that the officers and men had.

Before he could convey the new military order, the Mandate of Heaven Army on the opposite side issued an order to retreat, and it seems that the Mandate of Heaven Army also discovered the armies of Zheng Jiadong and Niu Chenghu on both sides.

At this time, still thinking about getting out of the way?

A cold smile appeared at the corner of He Renlong's mouth, and then he pulled out his waist knife, raised it to the sky, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, our reinforcements have arrived, chase and kill, don't let the Heavenly Mandate Army escape!" ”

"Hunt down! After! Hunt down ......" countless Ming troops responded.

The footsteps on both sides are clearer, chaotic and dense, could it be reinforcements from the Ming army?
