Lu Xiangsheng has a habit of commanding operations, that is, to arrange everything first, and let all the generals be responsible for commanding their respective teams, and he, once the battle begins, he is only responsible for charging, taking the lead, and rushing to the front!

This time was no exception, everything was arranged, all the soldiers had their own generals under their command, and he just had to wait for the charge.

Under the command of their respective generals, a group of musketeers quickly climbed the well and lined up in three rows, upper, middle and lower, waiting for an order to shoot and suppress the thieves on the city wall; All the sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and halberd soldiers have already set up the ladder on their shoulders, and they can rush to the city wall and start the battle when they are given the order.

Finally, all the musketeers were in place, and the adjutant general Zhang Liwei commanded loudly: "The first row is aiming...... put, the second row aims...... put, the third row aimed...... Put. ”

With Zhang Liwei's command, the musketeers fired their guns in rows towards the city wall, and the well was one hundred and fifty steps away from the city wall, which was the precise strike range of the flintlock pistol, and if this distance was hit, it would definitely be a hole in one shot. In addition, the well is more than a meter higher than the city wall, and it is condescending, and the thieves on the city wall will become targets as long as they leave the root of the city wall.

After the first round of gunfire, almost half of the thieves on the city wall turned into a sieve, and they finally knew the power of the flintlock pistol, and they squatted under the arrow stacks in fright, not even daring to raise their heads.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiangsheng raised his sword and shouted: "Rush." ”

Then, with his broadsword, he rushed to the city wall.

The soldiers carrying the ladder behind him were already familiar with his style, and as soon as he finished yelling, everyone immediately shouted: "Rush." ”，

Then he carried the ladder and rushed to the city wall.

The thieves on the city wall naturally did not sit still, and as soon as they heard the sound below, the leader of the thieves on the city wall frantically commanded the surviving thieves, asking them to lift the rolling stones and sassal wood, ready to throw them down.

But as soon as they left the battlement, they didn't even stand up straight, and they were greeted by Zhang Liwei's loud shout: "The first row is aiming...... put, the second row aims...... put, the third row aimed...... Put. ”

As a result, some of the thieves became a sieve, and now, the thieves no longer dared to show their heads.

This siege can be said to be easy, Lu Xiangsheng rushed to the city wall and cut down a few small leaders of thieves who did not have long eyes, and all the thieves surrendered.

This battle really can't be fought, at the beginning, he was pressed under the arrow stack and couldn't lift his head, and then rushed up to a general of the official army and was still so violent, the big knife danced, just like lightning, the knife light passed, the head flew, and there was no time to react, how to fight?

Lu Xiangsheng saw that the power of the flintlock pistol was so amazing, and he couldn't help but have a new idea, on the one hand, he ordered the 2,000 defenders of Pingyang to come to change the guard and clean up the battlefield, and on the other hand, he asked the 10,000 transport troops left behind in the camp to quickly pull out the camp and wait for dispatch. At the same time, he also sent someone to inform Cao Wenzhao on the Fenxi side that he would leave it alone after capturing Fenxi, and quickly lead the army to Huozhou to listen to the order, and leave the rest of the matter to the two thousand Pingyang defenders to deal with.

The siege of Huozhou was as fast as lightning, and the Fenxi side was naturally not slow to go there, so the 40,000 troops led by Cao Wenzhao and the 10,000 transport troops left in Lingshi arrived outside Huozhou City almost at the same time.

Judging from the situation on the scene, it is not necessary to capture a small city with only two or three thousand people stationed at all, one thousand musketeers is enough, and any more bullets are wasted, and what Lu Xiangsheng has to do next requires many, many musketeers, because he wants to ambush the cavalry of the thieves!

He simply redistributed the army, and asked Zhang Liwei and Wang Guozhong to lead 10,000 pikemen, 10,000 shield soldiers and 1,000 musketeers to escort 5,000 transport troops, and transport the well and ladder under Huozhou City to Zhaocheng in the south, and take Zhaocheng in one go.

And he took Cao Wenzhao and other generals, led the remaining 20,000 musketeers, 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 pikemen, 10,000 halberders and 5,000 transport soldiers, and rushed to the official road between Zhaocheng and Hongdong with grain and grass and camp tents.

The rebels left behind in Huozhou and Fenxi had already spread the news of the attack of the official army to Yicheng, but this official army was too funny, and it was strange that two thousand people could attack the city garrisoned by more than 2,000 people. Therefore, the leaders of the rebel army in Yicheng did not take this seriously, they paid attention to the king of Lu Yan in Yangcheng, according to the report of the spies, the king of Lu Yan is stepping up his rest outside Yangcheng, and the wounded soldiers under his command seem to have almost recovered, and they may be marching to Yicheng in a few days.

As for Huozhou and Fenxi, let the officers and troops attack first, and then talk about it when the officers and troops increase their troops, if the officers and troops do not increase their troops, then there is no need to say that they will definitely not be able to attack.

Unexpectedly, after five or six days, there was still no movement on the Yangcheng side, but Huozhou and Fenxi reported one after another, the official army had increased its troops, and it was tens of thousands, Huozhou and Fenxi were afraid that they would not be able to hold it!

At this time, these leaders of the rebel army no longer know the plan, that is a stupid fork, they got together and summed up, since King Lu Yan arrived in Huozhou, then go to Huozhou to do it with him, as for Yangcheng, it is better to leave it alone, it will take five or six days from Yicheng to Yangcheng, and these five or six days are enough time for King Lu Yan to kill from Huozhou to Yicheng. And Yangcheng didn't know how many soldiers and horses King Lu Yan had left, in case they didn't take Yangcheng, then they would be attacked on their backs.

The result of the discussion of the leader of the rebel army was the same as Lu Xiangsheng guessed, they gathered all the cavalry together, and let Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng lead the horses to Huozhou first, to see if they could keep Huozhou, if not, then retreat to Zhaocheng. The infantry set off later, as long as Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng could drag on Huozhou and Zhaocheng for four or five days, then King Lu Yan would really want to see King Hades.

The cavalry of the Thirty-six Righteous Army is not a small number, if it is opened according to the proportion of the official army, it is ** thousand, of course, the Righteous Army has not yet developed to that point, and the proportion of cavalry is not so high, but the base number is there, there is no ** thousand, fifty or sixty thousand.

The next morning after receiving the news, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng led more than 50,000 cavalry to set off, if the cavalry ran crazy, it could run **ten miles in an hour, if you want to save combat power and rush at an ordinary speed, you can also run fifty or sixty miles in an hour, so it was only at noon that Gao Yingxiang and they had already crossed the Hongdong and rushed to Zhaocheng.

Running and running in front of a sudden appearance of a large canyon, in the "Art of War" Nine Places, this kind of place is called the enclosure or death of the ground, it is a very dangerous place, the so-called death and then life, if you do not have this courage, then do not enter this kind of place.

It stands to reason that when the army passes through the terrain of the canyon, it must send scouts to go first, and when it is sure that there is no danger, the whole army will pass. But this is between Zhaocheng and Hongdong, and now King Lu Yan is attacking Huozhou and Fenxi, and there is no urgent report from Zhaocheng, which means that Zhaocheng is still in the sphere of influence of the righteous army, and it is impossible for the enemy army to appear. Besides, this canyon is nearly three hundred steps wide, and the mountains on both sides are about one hundred and fifty steps away from the official road, and ordinary archers can't shoot so far, and both sides of the official road are gravel ground, which can be seen through at a glance, and there can be no ambush at all, so Gao Yingxiang did not send scouts, nor did he let the army stop, but went directly into the canyon.
