Chapter 388: Under the Yongqing City
The north wind was howling, and the entire Lugou River was white, and countless small black dots were scattered on the ground, scattering in all directions!
Liu Liu Liu and Liu Qi's army was scattered, and the news that Liu Jin was killed by the imperial court and reduced taxes shook the army's heart, and after such a fiasco, many people were woken up at once!
The tragic scene of corpses strewn all over the battlefield is still vivid, and the screams of his companions dying are still in his ears, even if he has fled so far, the tip of his nose seems to smell that bloody smell!
Death was so close to them, but now there was a way to live! Spring is coming soon, you can farm right away, the court has reduced taxes again, and you can live again! The imperial court does not levy taxes, and there are no eunuchs to loot money, so maybe you can save a little money!
The north wind is blowing, blowing cold the blood of many people, anyway, the army has already dispersed, so let's quietly flee back to the township!
Many people have made a little fortune in the events of this uprising, and they are even more eager to go home, and there is no eunuch party to loot money, and it is better to go back and marry a mother-in-law, or buy a field, and live a good life than to continue to live with their heads pinned to their belts!
Of course, there are also some people who have already developed ambitions in the process of the uprising, or want to make more money, or want to mix up with an official and a half-job to become a master, they don't want to go back to be a mud leg, and they don't want to live that kind of life facing the loess with their backs to the sky!
After they escaped far away, they went to Yongqing in a roundabout way, and some even thought about going back to Bazhou directly. The 3,000 battalions are still wandering in the wilderness, and after being driven away, there are those who flee in the direction of Yongqing, and they are those who do not change their dead nature and are determined to rebel. The Admiral has an order to kill such people!
Zhang Zhijie and Wang Shouren led the army to fight Liu Liu's army and Liu Qi's army at Shilipo. Lin Yunshan also led the partial army to advance into Yongqing City.
The partial army marched all the way to the foot of Yongqing City, there were still 10,000 defenders on Yongqing City, and the partial army was only 20,000 soldiers, and it was 20,000 soldiers with no morale.
The official army outside the city soon appeared in Yongqing City, and these partial troops naturally did not have the momentum of Zhang Zhijie's army, and they looked loose and collapsed!
Zhao Dabeard, the deputy general of the defenders in the city, immediately laughed: "Just rely on these officers and soldiers to win against us?" Are these officers and soldiers not as good as the ones who came last time? ”
"Don't say that we defend the city, just let us go out of the city to fight, and our 10,000 people can beat them!"
The lord of the city will follow Liu Liu's old brother Tian Youdi, although he also agreed with the deputy general's words, but he still said cautiously: "The order given to us by the marshal is to hold Yongqing City, in my opinion, we should be more cautious!" ”
In the end, Tian Youdi is the main general, although Zhao Dabeard really wants to take his brothers out to kill, but since Tian Youdi has said so, he can only think about it.
But if they really come to attack the city, they can be ruthless! Zhao Dabeard quickly went to arrange, shouting and shouting to boost morale, and at the same time asked people to prepare the city defense equipment left by the officials and soldiers.
The partial army stopped not far from Yongqing City, and several generals gathered together and began to discuss.
"This Yongqing City is not like an empty city, there are people coming and going on the city wall, I'm afraid there are not 10,000 or 20,000 defenders! Let's not talk about siege, even the field battle may not be able to fight! ”
"But we came here on a military order, if we didn't capture Yongqing City, how would we explain to the Admiral?"
"The problem is that it is impossible for our 20,000 soldiers to capture Yongqing City! But what the Admiral said is that Yongqing is almost an empty city, and now it is not an empty city! ”
"You said that the Admiral only brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the army of Liu Liu and Liu Qi had at least 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses, can you win?"
"Hmph, let me see, although we are the generals of the defeated army, they look down on us, but soon we will not only be the generals of the defeated army!"
"How's that going? He is the Son of Heaven! Even if you lose the battle, you can blame others for the fault, and you will still be a high-ranking official when you go back! It's not that there are no examples, didn't Gonggong Gu go back and be promoted to the eunuch of the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor? This young admiral is even more favored by the emperor than Gonggong Gu! ”
"Although you can't take the city, you have to do it, if you don't even do it, you can't help it!"
"It's better to send the spies out and pay attention to the situation on Shilipo. If the Admiral wins, let's make a desperate siege! If so, we will withdraw our troops directly, and no one will have the face to accuse us when we think about it! ”
"Well, that makes sense! Reasonable! "Yes, that's right!" The partial army was originally put together by several guards, and the generals discussed it and unanimously agreed to do so.
So the army defending the city mobilized and waited for the officers and troops outside the city to attack the city, but I didn't expect that the officers and troops outside the city had no intention of attacking the city!
The officers and soldiers outside the city stopped there strangely and quietly, without the slightest movement! Tian Youdi and Zhao Dabeard Zhanger were confused, very puzzled, fighting or not fighting, walking and not leaving, what the hell is this?
Is it waiting for reinforcements? It's just that the imperial court only sent 50,000 troops, and they are fighting in Shilipo, and it is estimated that the commander will be defeated after a while, where will any reinforcements come?
The partial army outside the city is waiting boringly, they have fought with the army of Liu Liu and Liu Qi, and naturally know that the army of Liu Liu and Liu Qi is fighting very fiercely, and they will not die if they rush up! So they didn't have any confidence in the army led by Zhang Zhijie at all.
Therefore, there was no preparation for the siege of the city, and the troops were immediately withdrawn when the spies came back to report the news of the defeat of Zhang Zhijie's army! Otherwise, the thief army who will be driven back by the victory will make dumplings with the defenders in the city!
The distance from the partial army to Yongqing City is much farther than the distance from Zhang Zhijie's army to Shilipo! Therefore, not long after the partial army arrived in Yongqing City, the battle of Shilipo had already been seen!
It didn't take long for the spies to come back with flying horses, and the spies ran wild against the cold wind, their bodies blown cold by the biting cold winds, but their hearts were very hot!
The army of the imperial court has won! And it is an army that has defeated Liu Liu and Liu Qi! The spies rode up to the army and began to shout!
Win! The imperial army has won! Everywhere the sound went, the soldiers were stunned and began to cheer! Although it was not them who won the battle, they were the men of the court after all! Now that the army of the imperial court has won, they are naturally very happy!
At least they don't have to worry about being beaten by Liu Liu's army at all times! The generals of the partial army heard the movement outside and looked at each other, looking like they had seen a ghost!
