Chapter Seventy-Nine: He Renlong's Counterattack
(Recently, because of long-term sedentary reasons, I began to be plagued by cervical spine, spondylitis, and low back pain, and often had migraines, a little out of state, and I was not satisfied with the quality of what I wrote during this time, and I needed to adjust my thinking and change this situation as soon as possible. I will adjust my body and mind as soon as possible, and I hope you will continue to support you! )
"General Qiyu, the little ones are absolutely not mistaken, it must be because the official army was too light on the enemy in the morning, and the Xingtian army was defending according to the river, so they defeated He Renlong's department by waiting for work! In addition, the general, please think that when the general led his troops over this time, the officers and troops had already formed a large formation, not to mention sufficient preparations, and the troops were far more sufficient than the officers and troops who crossed the river in the morning, so it would make the general's attack unfavorable! A probe horse's brain was obviously more flexible, and he immediately found the reason for Li Guo.
Li Guo thought about it, this time he came really unlucky, just happened to meet He Renlong's main force had already crossed the river, and before him, he first formed this hedgehog-like round formation, coupled with the fierce firepower of the official army, so that he couldn't gnaw at all, thinking of this, Li Guo was a little deflated.
Seeing that there was a cheer on the side of the official army, the rebel generals on Li Guo's side were suddenly a little discouraged, and their morale was also low.
Seeing that the officers and troops are strong, and there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command, it is obviously a little impossible to eat He Renlong at once, so Li Guo was worried that the officers and troops would take the initiative to counterattack next, so he immediately ordered to form a formation on the spot to set up defenses, turn attack to defense, and dare not launch an offensive without authorization.
Seeing that the morale of Li Zicheng's thief army has declined, the morale of the officers and troops on He Renlong's side has risen sharply, and the psychological shadow caused by the two defeats in the morning has also dissipated a lot.
Under the elimination of the other's strengths, the situation of the two sides suddenly reversed, and the morale of the officers and soldiers under He Renlong's command began to overwhelm the rebel army on Li Guo's side, which made the situation suddenly change.
"Li Thief seems to have not grown much over the years! Hum! Come on, change formation! It's time for us to knock on these thieves and thieves who are beating Li Thief! White and bright! ”
"The end will be! Please command! Bai Youliang immediately rushed to He Renlong, knelt down on one knee and gave the order.
"You lead your troops to battle, give me a hard beating of Li Thief's generals, let them know that I, He, am definitely not a person to be bullied!"
"The last will be ordered!" Bai Youliang immediately bowed down to receive the order, turned around and strode away, gathered the four hundred officers and soldiers under his command, and as soon as the big formation opened, he rushed out of the official army formation and slowly pressed towards the righteous army array led by Li Guo.
And the formation of the official army also changed, with the waving of the order flag, the auxiliaries withdrew to the back of the formation, and the various departments began to disperse and form a formation, and He Renlong led the pro-army to surround the formation, and the official army formation immediately became a fish scale array, and the layers began to force towards the large array of the righteous army led by Li Guo.
The artillery wagons of the general artillery were pushed forward by the official gunners, and the sword players, archers, and musketeers slowly followed, covering the advance of the artillery trucks, and the cavalry of two teams of 200 people each spread out from the two wings, and slowly drove from the flanks to the rebels' formation, and Bai Youliang led his troops in front, in the sound of war drums, like a wall, towards the rebels.
Seeing the change in the formation of the officers and soldiers, Li Guo immediately became nervous, and the difference just now is that after the battle just now, the morale of the officers and soldiers has increased greatly, and the decline has also risen, sweeping away the appearance of fear, and took the initiative to start unfolding, forcing towards him, but the situation on his side is not optimistic, and the morale of the first when he first came is different, after the defeat in the first battle, the soldiers of the righteous army have become a little shrunken, and they have long lost the determination to defeat He Renlong in a battle just now.
Seeing the change in the large array of the official army, Li Guo immediately ordered a quick formation to defend, and the offensive and defensive sides were converted in less than an hour, and the official army became the attacker, while the righteous army became the defender.
With the sound of golden drums on the battlefield, the sound of cannons that had just been silent for a while sounded again in the setting sun, and both sides used their strength to eat milk, and used all the guys who could be used, and all kinds of bullets flew sideways on the battlefield, and one by one the fresh lives fell in a pool of blood.
Although Bai Youliang led his troops to rush to the front of the righteous army, but then under the leadership of Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Li Shuangxi and other righteous generals also used their strength to eat, and led the troops to fight desperately with Bai Youliang's officers and soldiers. It turned into a scuffle.
The shouting of killing resounded on the bank of the Wanzi River, after Bai Youliang cut down a rebel with a knife, he was also shot in the shoulder, several family members rushed up to protect Bai Youliang, and successively overturned two rebel soldiers, and there were shouts and screams everywhere.
Although the official army had superior firepower, but once the two sides were entangled, the firearms also lost their effect, after a fierce battle, Bai Youliang's troops finally failed to completely tear apart the formation of the righteous army of Li Guosuo's army due to insufficient troops, although the cavalry on both wings launched two charges, but under the desperate resistance of the righteous army, only a small number of righteous troops were killed and wounded, and they had to withdraw from the battle.
As the sun set, He Renlong sighed slightly, knowing that he didn't want to defeat this thief army before dark, and at this time, there was no night to collect Pegasus to report, saying that another thief army had come from the direction of Longzhou, and the banner was still Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses, and there were only more than three miles left from here.
He Renlong immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and withdraw Bai Youliang's troops from the battlefield, and Li Guo's rebel army also suffered great losses, seeing the official army withdraw, he was afraid of the sharp artillery of the official army, so he also gave up the pursuit, and the battle at dusk was only declared over, and the two sides had casualties on each other, but Li Zicheng's side of the rebel army casualties were obviously much more than the official army, to put it bluntly, Li Guo was defeated in this battle, but He Renlong also failed to completely defeat Li Guo's rebel army.
After dark on both sides, they began to camp busily, He Renlong knew that Li Zicheng was cunning and good at using the night to sneak attack the enemy, so he did not dare to be careless, surrounded the chariot again, and arranged a rejection horse outside, and ordered the auxiliaries to dig a trench to prevent the thieves from attacking at night, and then laid a solid camp.
By the time Li Zicheng led his troops to the battlefield, it was already completely dark, and seeing that the camp set up by the officers and soldiers was very solid, Li Zicheng had no choice but to enter the temporary camp set up by Li Guo after reading it.
"What about the Xingtian Army?" As soon as Li Zicheng saw Li Guo, he immediately asked him.
