Wuchang Fubei Military Camp

"Smack! Liu Tichun, who was cut a thousand times, was immediately imprisoned and waited for military justice after the war! ”

"Tami-su! You bastard, bullshit Confucian general, Lao Tzu is going to split you! ”

Li Zicheng paced back and forth in the Chinese military tent, scolding like thunder, and slashing with a knife from time to time, obviously out of control.

Also discussing in the northern military camp were Niu Jinxing, the chief military advisor of the Chuang Army, Gao Yigong, his wife and brother, and Yuan Zongdi, who was known as the second fierce general of the Chuang Army. The No. 1 fierce general in the army is Liu Zongmin. Yuan Zongdi was good at using double whips, and it is said that this person was the one who killed Cao Wenzhao back then.

Everyone looked at each other, and when Li Zicheng was furious, no one wanted to touch this mold.

The reason why Li Zicheng was furious was because he received three military reports in half a day, and all of them were defeated.

One came from Jiangxia, and Zhang Ying's headquarters of the Xuanjia Army came to Jiangxia City four days ago. Liu Tichun, the general guarding Jiangxia, never imagined that the Xuanjia army would suddenly attack Jiangxia, and was caught off guard by the Xuanjia army in a blitzkrieg battle, and the city defense was lost in half a day.

Liu Tichun also wanted to fight street battles in the city, but unexpectedly, the combat power of this raiding Xuanjia army was very strong, all of them were armed with Xuanjia Divine Guns with a range of at least 200 steps, plus the three thousand Xuanjia sergeants who participated in the street battles, all wearing invulnerable armor and strange transparent masks.

The bows and arrows of the invading army, and even the muskets, were not enough to penetrate the masks and armor of the Xuanjia army. This group of Xuanjia sergeants even cooperated tacitly, and conquered the strongholds of street battles one by one in a three-three formation.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, most of the troops fighting in the street battles in Jiangxia City were lost, and sixty percent of the positions were lost. Liu Tichun and the soldiers of the Chuang Army thought that they had met the heavenly soldiers and generals, where did they dare to stay in Jiangxia City, and they wished that their parents were missing two legs, so they immediately abandoned Jiangxia City, as well as the granary in the city, and fled from the north gate.

When Li Zicheng read this military report, he was so angry that he trembled, and immediately ordered Liu Tichun, who had fled back from the loss of soldiers, to be put on death row, and wait for the war to settle the crime with him.

The second military report was a defeat report from Tami Hide, who commanded the naval division from Hanyang Port.

Tian Jianxiu is also Li Zicheng's confidant general, and the naval division stationed in Hanyang Port is already a battleship fleet that Li Zicheng spent a lot of money to transform a hundred large merchant ships.

According to the previous plan, this fleet was preparing to take advantage of the night to sneak attack the Xuanjia Army warships from the sea after Fang Yuan entered the urn. After the Xuanjia army fleet arrived at Wuchang Port, it did not stay long at all, and after the 20,000 Xuanjia troops landed ashore, Shi Lang took this fleet and went straight to Hanyang Port.

Tian Jianxiu, who was waiting for a sneak attack on the Xuanjia Army's naval division, was the first to be attacked by Shi Lang's fleet. Regardless of the tonnage or the number of guns, the battleships of the Chuang Army are not of the same level as Shi Lang's battleships. Tian Jianxiu is conceited and strategic, but in the case of an obvious generation gap in the level of science and technology, he can only watch the destruction of the naval fleet.

This naval battle is like Ultraman fighting a little monster, which is to train Shi Lang's sailors with experience. The war lasted less than two days, and the entire army was annihilated without accident.

Shi Lang fought hard, and after annihilating the Chuang Jun Naval Division, he directly ordered the bombardment of Hanyang Port, which was blown into ruins.

In the face of the overwhelming firepower of the Xuanjia Army, Tian Jianxiu did not dare to lead the army to stay in Hanyang Port, but the whole army withdrew to Hanyang City and sent a military report of the defeat to Li Zicheng.

The sailors who broke into the army were wiped out in less than two days, and Li Zicheng was so angry that he jumped like thunder, but the strength of the sailors on both sides was obvious, and if he couldn't sneak attack, he would definitely not be the opponent of Shi Lang's fleet.

Although Tian Jianxiu was the fault of the defeated army, it was excusable. If this kind of war with a huge disparity in strength and weakness also has to be punished, then who will dare to gnaw hard bones for Li Zicheng in the future.

Li Zicheng could only suppress his anger and put Tian Jianxiu's crime aside for the time being.

There is also a military report, which came from Henan. Li Zicheng's most trusted handsome talent, his nephew Li Guoben had already gathered troops and horses to prepare to go south to Huguang to cooperate with Li Zicheng's eastward expedition.

Before Li Guo's soldiers and horses left Nanyang Mansion, they received an urgent military report from Runing Mansion that the Xuanjia Army had invaded Henan first! And it's also a 40,000 powerful Xuanjia Iron Horse!

The army was accustomed to the style of the rogue army, and although it had taken root in Henan and Huguang and had a real territory, it still did not pay attention to the defense construction of the city. The rogues also do not need to defend the city, as long as the officers and soldiers arrive, they can drag their families and mouths to move.

Therefore, after Li Guo took over the military affairs of Henan, the Nanyang Mansion was built in good order, but the more remote Runing Mansion had no time to take care of it.

Chigutai and Zhao Quanzhong's 40,000 Xuanjia iron horses were like autumn winds sweeping away leaves, and in less than half a month, the iron horses traveled all over the prefectures and counties of Runing Prefecture.

This time, the Xuanjia army was not for the purpose of conquering the city, and the condition for Chigutai to start with the states and counties along the way was that as long as the states and counties sent military rations and war horse fodder to the army, they would be safe and sound.

Li Guo took most of the intruding troops from the prefectures and counties to the south, and there were less than one or two hundred intruding troops stationed in the prefectures and counties of Runing Prefecture at most. Such a small number of invading troops is more than enough to maintain law and order and rule, and to resist the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is a fool's dream.

The Xuanjia Army only needs military rations, no silver, and no women, with such lenient conditions, where will state and county officials, low-level generals, and militia organizations resist? They generously donated food, donated war horse feed to avoid disasters, and gave Xuanjia Iron Rider out of the country.

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry quickly approached Nanyang Mansion, the seat of the Chuang army in Henan, and Li Guo was shocked. He ran Nanyang Mansion for two years, and finally improved a little, and the squires everywhere were ostensibly paying grain; Merchants from all over the country also began to come to Nanyang to do business.

If Nanyang Mansion is lost, the forces of the Chuang army in Henan will be immediately beaten back to their original form, and the two-year work will be ruined.

Li Guo had to give up the idea of going south, and turned back to the division to fight the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry. Li Guo's Chuang army was a mixed infantry and cavalry army, with a total of 50,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry.

Chigutai was good at cavalry long-distance raids on the grassland, and accompanied Fang Yuan to fight two roundabout guerrilla warfare of cavalry in Shandong and Liaodong, so he was already familiar with this tactic and perfected himself, where would he fight Li Guo's reinforcement army head-on?

Chigutai took a roundabout attack, circling around the prefectures and counties in the northeast of Nanyang Province, pulling the speed of Li Guo's army. Everywhere they passed, Qinyang, Wuyang, and Nanzhao Zhuzhou counties were almost completely unresisted and were captured.

Every time Chigutai captured a city, he only robbed the silver of the government office and the military rations of the granary, and went to buy and sell ready-made cooked food, such as cakes, dried meat, etc., with the people inside and outside the city, which was easy to carry with him.

Li Guo saw that the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry had brought the speed advantage of the cavalry to the extreme, and he also fell into a dilemma strategic choice.

If you choose to pursue the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, you can only abandon the infantry with a slow marching speed and only pursue with 20,000 cavalry. If Li Guo chooses to unite the two armies, he will inevitably be left far behind by the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and he won't even be able to touch a single hair.

Li Guo can also be regarded as a rare handsome talent in the army, and at this critical juncture, he finally chose a cautious and prudent tactic. The combat power of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is strong, and this time it is out again, and it is clear that it is aimed at this bit of family under his command.

If you hastily send troops to meet the battle, there will be a slight mistake, not only Nanyang Mansion, but also the entire Henan Province.

Li Guo led the army back to Nanyang Mansion, and then adhered to Nanyang City, the place of governance, and the rest of the prefectures and counties could only do what they should do, and let the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry toss.

He also sent a letter to Sun Chuanting asking for help, as long as Sun Chuanting's side started a military operation, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry must withdraw to Nanzhili, and did not dare to stay in Henan for a long time.

Chigutai swept a large circle in Zhuzhou County, Nanyang Prefecture, tossed for a month, and did not see Li Guo's army come to relieve the siege, but stationed in Nanyang, motionless, knowing that Li Guotie was determined to give up the decisive battle with the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

Chigutai had no chance to take advantage of, and there was no need to go to Nanyang to attack the fortifications, so according to Fang Yuan's explanation before, he unhurriedly pulled 40,000 Xuanjia iron horsemen to leave Nanyang Mansion again, and returned to Nanzhili from Runing Prefecture.

So far, Li Zicheng has received three military reports, only Li Guo has retained the whole division because he gave up the decisive battle with the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and the remaining two are almost collapsed fiascos!

This time, before the Eastern Crusade began, it ended in a fiasco, Li Zicheng was annoyed and angry, slapped the military case heavily, and shouted, "Fang Yuan is still in Wuchang Port, as long as we can break through Wuchang Port and capture Fang Yuan alive, we can eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”

Niu Jinxing came out unhurriedly and said, "King Chuang! The catastrophe is just around the corner, and you are still thinking about attacking Fang Yuan?! Our real enemy is not the foreign enemy, but within the Xiao Wall! ”
