"→" is a great novel to read.

Wang Ziyong's courage is not great, and his strategy is not very outstanding, which can be seen from the situation after he succeeded as the leader of the peasant army, the peasant army has more than 200,000 troops but was chased everywhere by the 40,000 border soldiers and guards led by Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, until they were finally driven out of Shanxi, Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen almost didn't even hurt a single hair!

Why, then, did he suddenly have the courage again? Dare to be tough with King Lu Yan!

First of all, because he was reluctant to lay down the territory, before Lu Xiangsheng came, he led the army to take down the entire Huaiqing Mansion, and the large part of the mansion city was still in the hands of King Zheng.

However, that doesn't matter, the important thing is that the peasant army has never captured a place in Yifu, let alone been supported by the common people as it is now.

Huaiqing is a good place, the people here have been bullied and oppressed by the Zheng Wangfu family, they have a deep grudge against the court, and they have great trust in them, whether it is to fight local tyrants, kill squires, or recruit new soldiers, or grab food, the common people are extremely cooperative, they are like fish in water here.

Wang Ziyong has been in a bumpy and wandering for five or six years since he got up, and he really doesn't want to run around anymore, he is tired, he wants to settle down, he doesn't want to leave!

In fact, it was because of his wrong judgment of the result of the first battle in Wenxian, because no one reported to him, and the scouts he sent did not dare to get too close to the area of the battle, he could only judge the situation of the battle from the number of officers and soldiers.

30,000 officers and soldiers ran to attack Wen County, but at this time there were only more than 10,000 people left to attack Jiyuan, and he believed that the losses of officers and men were very serious, and the number of casualties was at least seven or eight thousand.

Gao Yingxiang and Luo Rucai can cause such a large number of casualties to this group of officers and soldiers, which proves that this group of officers and soldiers is not very good, he has more than 100,000 horses, what is there to be afraid of?

Finally, the most important thing is that he has a killer weapon, he has sent people to Meng County to inform Ma Yingshou and He Yilong and others of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, gather men and horses, and prepare to outflank the officers and soldiers from the rear flank, and give the officers and soldiers a front and rear flank.

Ma Yingshou and several of them are the leaders of the peasant army who have the best relationship with him, so he will let the fifth battalion of Gezuo garrison in Meng County, which is only more than 30 miles away from Jiyuan, and they will arrive in an hour if they march in a hurry, and he believes that Ma Yingshou and they will definitely lead the army to help.

The main force of the more than 100,000 peasant army in his hands plus more than 50,000 people in the 5th battalion of the Revolution Zuo is a total of 167,000 horses, and he can't do more than 10,000 officers and soldiers!

The reason why he didn't tell the other leaders about this was because he was afraid that there would be spies, after all, there were more than 20 people here, and who could guarantee that all of them were his own people.

Under his persuasion, the leaders of the peasant army finally agreed to stay and guard Jiyuan and fight with the officers and soldiers, but it was mainly Wang himself, who was responsible for watching from the side.

Specifically, Wang Ziyong led his subordinates to guard the east with 40,000 or 50,000 people, and fought with the officers and soldiers, while the other leaders were responsible for garrisoning the west, south, and north walls, cheering on the side!

Wang Ziyong naturally understands the thoughts of these guys, they just want to work without contribution, watch from the wall, his requirements for these guys are not high, as long as these guys agree to work, after all, the city wall is on four sides instead of one side, if these guys do not participate in the defense of the city, he will be responsible for guarding the four city walls alone, and the troops will be scattered, and now there are these guys guarding the other three city walls, he can concentrate on dealing with the attack of officers and soldiers.

Wen County is about more than 80 miles away from Jiyuan, Lu Xiangsheng did not rush all the way, but slowly moved forward according to the normal marching speed, and walked for a day before he came to a place less than ten miles away from Jiyuan to set up camp and rest well.

This time, there is another reason why he walked so slowly, because he brought all the siege equipment to attack Wenxian County, anyway, there are many cavalry, and the terrain is quite flat.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Lu Xiangsheng gathered his men and horses, set up a position and slowly pressed towards Jiyuan City.

The situation on these two sides is a bit weird, on one side is more than 100,000 people defending the city, on the other side is more than 10,000 people attacking the city, the people defending the city are many but frightened and trembling, the total number of people attacking the city is so powerful and domineering, as if there are more than 100,000 local chickens and dogs in the city!

Although the more than 100,000 peasant troops in the city are not local chickens and dogs, they are not much better, Wang Ziyong's infantry are also newly recruited ordinary civilians, and they have no combat experience at all, Li Zicheng does not know whether it is intentional or unintentional, and he did not remind Gao Yingxiang to send the reason for the defeat of Xiuwu to Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang was also stunned by Lu Xiangsheng, and he didn't think about communicating with Wang Ziyong about the situation of the first battle of Xiuwu, so Wang Ziyong didn't know that using new soldiers to defend the city was to send food to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng discharged the same formation, the cavalry was guarding on both wings, and the foot soldiers were attacking the city in the middle, and he didn't bother to arrange any tight formation, because the peasant army at this time still had no strategy and tactics to speak of, it was basically a plate of scattered sand, as long as there were no major mistakes, it would basically not be defeated.

The siege of the city this time is a bit thin, because the Tianxiong army in Wenxian County not only lost more than 1,000 people, but also more than 1,000 people who were seriously injured and did not recover, only 8,000 people who could participate in the siege, minus 1,000 artillery men and 2,000 archers, and only 5,000 people could carry the ladder to climb the city wall, but at this time, the city wall in the east of Jiyuan was densely packed with tens of thousands of people.

Of course, these tens of thousands of people are all foot soldiers of the king's own new moves, and it turns out that those old foot soldiers have basically thrown the daimyo's mansion.

Lu Xiangsheng held the binoculars and looked at the situation on the city wall, and couldn't help pouting, this gang of thieves is really wrong, what's the use of having more people, it's useful to have more people, all the people of the Ming Dynasty went to Liaodong, and they trampled Jiannu to death!

He looked at it for a while, then put down the binoculars and ordered loudly, "Motosuke, prepare to fire." ”

With that, he rode to the front of the siege infantry, raised his broadsword, and stared coldly at the city wall in front of him.

Qi Yuanfu is no longer surprised, he is a general, he has no chance to fight in battle at all, every time he directs the artillery in the back!

He reluctantly ordered: "All artillery, loaded with guns, ready to fire." ”

"Click", a strange sound sounded on the battlefield again, Wang Ziyong didn't know what this sound meant, so he didn't react at all.

"Boom, boom", there was a loud bang, and two hundred shells rose into the air, covering the city wall.

Wang Ziyong's face finally changed, it was artillery, and now it was a big trouble!

Sure enough, a scream sounded on the city wall, followed by chaos.

He is not as ruthless as Li Zicheng, and he can't do this kind of thing at every turn, so he can only shout as hard as he can: "Steady, steady, the officers and soldiers don't have much artillery, don't panic." ”

It's impossible not to panic, ordinary civilians have never seen this kind of bloody scene, it's not bad if you haven't been scared crazy.

Over there, Lu Xiangsheng still waved his hand without hesitation, leading 5,000 foot soldiers and 2,000 musketeers to rush frantically towards the city wall.

Seeing this, Wang Ziyong hurriedly shouted: "Quick, the archers are ready." ”

No one paid attention to him, and at this time the city wall was already in chaos, "boom, boom", another burst of artillery roared, and another burst of blood splashed, and the city wall was even more chaotic.

Wang Ziyong looked at all this anxiously, he didn't know what to do, he saw it very clearly in the city gate, in fact, there were not many casualties among his foot soldiers, and there were three or four hundred people lost when they died, which is nothing to a team of tens of thousands of people, the problem he understands, the "recruit eggs" below don't understand.

Lu Xiangsheng rushed all the way to a distance of less than 100 steps from the city wall, but not a single arrow was shot down on the city wall. ”

The two thousand musketeers behind stopped one after another, quickly climbed to the roof of the siege vehicle, skillfully loaded their guns, and raised their guns to aim at the peasant army on the city wall.

"Papapapa", the peasant army on the city wall screamed even worse, and some people even jumped directly from the city wall in fright, ran away, and the overseers guarding the steps at both ends of the city gate tower were dumbfounded.

How can this be done, people don't take the steps at all, they jump down directly, they can't cut it if they want to.

One person jumped, and there was a second, and soon, the recruits on the city wall jumped down from the inside of the city wall like dumplings, and ran wildly, without a trace!

Seeing this scene, Wang Ziyong shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Inform everyone, retreat!" ”

"Boom boom", another burst of artillery roared sounded, as if to see them off, the defenders on the city wall had received the order to retreat at this time, everyone was like waves rushing to the city wall, all who could jump down, the injured, those who couldn't jump, also staggered to the position of the steps, even the rolling and crawling ran, soon the city wall was empty, and there was no one standing!

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had just led the army to rush to the bottom of the city wall, and as soon as the ladder was erected, he swooped up, and climbed the city wall with two brushes, he jumped on the city wall to see, and was immediately dumbfounded, except for hundreds of corpses on the city wall that were deformed by shells, there was no one left!

He couldn't help but raise his eyes to look into the city, and immediately saw that tens of thousands of peasant troops were surging westward through the streets and alleys.

To chase or not to chase?

He thought about it for a moment and then ordered: "Order, Qi Xianzong and Qi Zhenzong each lead five thousand elite horsemen to chase after them, be careful, don't chase too hard, just leave all the foot soldiers behind." ”

Wang Ziyong is leading tens of thousands of peasant army cavalry to gallop north at this time, as for the foot soldiers behind, he can't take care of it, because those foot soldiers are all new recruits, basically have no combat effectiveness, if they are lost, they will be lost, and they will be recruited in the future, and they will escape first.

The other leaders of the peasant army also thought the same, but they just led their cavalry to flee north desperately, ignoring the foot soldiers behind them, as if they were racing with others.

When it comes to horse racing, there are others who can run faster than them.

Wang Ziyong had just run out less than ten miles when the sound of thunderous horses' hooves sounded behind him, louder than the sound of the cavalry around him when they ran, and it was obvious that the people were running faster than them!

Could it be that the officers and soldiers are catching up!

Wang Ziyong was so frightened that he whipped the horse's buttocks a few times, and shouted: "Hurry up, it's over if you are caught up by the officers and soldiers." ”

They accelerated, Ma Yingshou and the others behind were simply depressed and wanted to squirt blood, if there was a loudspeaker, they would definitely turn on the back to the maximum volume and shout: "Boss, don't run so fast, wait for us!" ”

To say that Ma Yingshou and their relationship with Wang Ziyong is really good, Wang Ziyong sent people to ask for help, and Ma Yingshou and they immediately gathered people and horses and prepared to support.

However, they still have one more step to think about, that is, what if they can't do it to the officers and soldiers?

If they can't do it, they will naturally run away, so they brought all the gold and silver they had looted, and they could bring as much food as they could, and let the rest be escorted by 10,000 foot soldiers, followed by the cavalry, and went to Jiyuan with them to support, as for Meng County, they left 10,000 newly recruited foot soldiers to garrison there.

If they win, they come back, Meng County is still theirs, if they lose, they will run away directly, and it's not a pity that these new recruits are lost!

As a result, they received the news relatively late, and it took Lu Xiangsheng a day to rush from Wen County to Jiyuan, and after Wang Ziyong sent a reconnaissance horse to detect the movements of the officers and soldiers, he reported back, and then Wang Ziyong sent someone to Meng County for help, and half a day passed, and when Ma Yingshou set off, it was already late afternoon.

They dragged on for two hours and walked more than 20 miles, and at night, there were still more than 10 miles away from Jiyuan.

The next morning, before they set off, the news of the destruction of Jiyuan City came, and the frightened Ma Yingshou immediately led the cavalry of the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution to rush northward frantically, because Wang Ziyong said, in case he couldn't resist it, he could also retreat to the two mountains of Taihang Wangwu, the two mountains of Taihang Wangwu are all big mountain ranges, especially the Taihang Mountain Range, which stretches for thousands of miles and is dozens of miles wide.

They ran wildly, ran for less than a quarter of an hour to catch up with the foot soldiers who escaped from Jiyuan City, Ma Yingshou didn't pay attention to these foot soldiers at all, but led the cavalry to continue to run north, and after about a quarter of an hour, the front finally faintly saw a large number of cavalry, they were about to catch up with Wang Ziyong and others to run away, the cavalry in front suddenly accelerated, and ran like them!

These two cavalry galloped like horses, and in less than half an hour, they rushed to the edge of the Wangwu Mountain Range in the north of Jiyuan City.

Wang Ziyong has this nest fire in his heart, what is he, these officers and soldiers are not finished yet, what are you chasing, I really can't help you if I take you!

It was too late to dig a trap at this time, but there were other ways to stop the cavalry, and it just so happened that there was a large sparse forest on the edge of the mountain, and the king used a direct wave of his hand to order tens of thousands of cavalry to rush into the woods, and then ordered people to desperately stumble in the woods.

The so-called tripping rope is actually a relatively strong rope tied between two trees, about a foot or two above the ground.

Thousands of tripping ropes on their side were tied, and Ma Yingshou had already led more than 20,000 cavalry to catch up, Wang Ziyong looked at the costume of the "chasing soldiers" behind, and secretly said badly, this is not an officer and soldier at all, it is his own people!

Ma Yingshou They came to chase their own people, so naturally they would not guard against tripping on the ground, and as a result, Ma Yingshou just led the army into the woods and was tripped and fell a large area!

Wang Ziyong looked at the rolling gourds all over the ground, and ordered embarrassedly: "Hurry up, go and help them up." ”

The soldiers of the peasant army, who had originally drawn their knives and were about to cut the officers and soldiers, hurriedly put away their knives, turned over, and helped the people to go.

Ma Yingshou got up from the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, looked at the peasant soldiers around him blankly, and asked puzzledly: "What are you doing, why do you put so many tripping horses on the ground?" ”
