Chapter 127: Defeat

What Zhang Xianzhong said is true, don't look at the Liukou who have been wandering in several provinces in the Central Plains for several years, often raising hundreds of thousands of people to besiege the city. But generally the battles are small county towns, and there are only a handful of big cities that are actually captured.

In this era, in the face of a fortified city, there is really no other way for the rogues who have neither cannons nor siege equipment to pile up their lives. That is, after the more battles were fought, the Ming army was captured, and the siege equipment was learned, and the situation improved slightly.

But it is also too good to be limited, the biggest magic weapon of the rogues to attack the city is to disguise themselves as Ming troops or ordinary people to enter the city, and then take the opportunity to open the city gate, Fengyang was broken in this way, but as long as the generals defending the city have a precautionary plan, it cannot be implemented.

"Red lady, what do you think?" Gao Yingxiang attached great importance to asking the red lady's opinion.

The rest of the people present all looked at the red lady, don't look at the red lady as a woman, but with the big things she did in Jiangnan, others can no longer dare to look down on her because she is a woman, not to mention the three strategies a few days ago, which is enough to make everyone look at her with admiration.

"Now that King Chuang has come to the city of Nanjing, he can't pin all his hopes on Neiying in the city, but he should go all out to attack the city, and the worst can shake the hearts of the people in the city, so that the people who were originally wavering surrender to King Chuang!" The red lady replied with an indifferent expression.

Gao Yingxiang also knew the temperament of the Red Lady, knew that she didn't have an opinion on anyone, nodded yes, the Red Lady's words were exactly what he wanted, and he also knew that even if Nanjing City was unbearable, as long as no one opened the city gate, it would not be something he could attack in a few days.

Of course, the eggs can't just be put in one basket, and the gods can't guarantee that they will be able to help open the city gates, after all, humanity is powerful, and the gods in the face of the city's army can only carry out conspiracy behind their backs.

Gao Yingxiang thought of this, slapped the table and shouted: "You will attack the city with all your strength tomorrow, this king will never break his word, and the first to break the city will be crowned king!" ”

"Yes!" A group of leaders shouted excitedly.

Nanjing's walls are tall and well prepared for such a long time, and it is normal for the Liukou to attack for five days in a row. The art of war is cloudy, ten are encircled, five are attacked, and multiple are battled. Although the defenders in the city were unbearable, there were 100,000 people plus the people. Moreover, there are millions of people in Nanjing, and Gao Yingxiang does not have red-clothed cannons like the Qing army, and in the face of the tall walls of Nanjing City, he can only take human lives to pile up, of course, this Gao Yingxiang is in action.

And the gods in the city, who Gao Yingxiang had high hopes for at the beginning, kept sending messages in the first two days, saying that the city was heavily defended and they couldn't open the city gate, and they were looking for an opportunity to do something, and there was no news after that.

But Gao Yingxiang is not discouraged, at least for the time being, it seems that the situation is very optimistic for him, the armament of Nanjing City is just like that, hundreds of thousands of people continue to drive the people forward to attack the city, and they can always be breached, and the most important thing is that there is not much food in Nanjing City.

A few days later, the angry Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou arrived with reinforcements.

Having ideals and not having ideals are two concepts, and with faith in his heart, Gao Yingxiang said that he was not cowardly, even in the face of the group of fierce men in the Ming Dynasty, he said that he was not cowardly, and one word was to do it!

Because Gao Yingxiang himself has 30,000 heavily armored iron cavalry, and the elites of more than a dozen leaders add up to 200,000, plus tens of thousands of strong troops of the Red Lady and more than 10,000 cavalry commanded by Cao Wenzhao and expanded by 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry.

Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou have a total of only 60,000 soldiers. Not to mention Gao Yingxiang, even Li Jing felt that it was impossible to lose five fights and one when he saw this, not to mention that the officials and soldiers lacked food, they were not short of it!

Then the two sides, who were eager to win, felt that they could not lose, and the next day they opened their positions, and under the eyes of 100,000 spectators in the city, a decisive battle began.

As soon as the war began, Lu Xiangsheng, the Liukou here, unreasonably led Zu Dale and Zu Kuan to attack the Liukou Chinese army. And the pioneers are Zu Dale and Zu Kuan.

Gao Yingxiang is a very smart person, he has struggled in the troubled times for seven years, and the more mixed soldiers there are, the more powerful he becomes, there is a reason, because he loves to learn! And not only does he like to learn, King Gao Chuang is also very good at thinking, and uses his talent to make it his own. Again, this time is no exception!

King Gao Chuang considered that although he had a large number of people, some of them were not his henchmen, and they all had their own belongings, plus the disadvantages of having many people and many people, once that part was defeated and collapsed, it would cause a great rout of the whole army, so King Gao Chuang and Li Tianwang spent a total of half a day, in order to deal with the Ming army, they laid out four major arrays.

The first is the people who came here, the second is the ordinary rogue, the third is the elite of the rest of the leaders, and the fourth is Gao Yingxiang's own 30,000 heavy armored cavalry, plus Cao Wenzhao's more than 10,000 horsemen.

But the Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Lu Xiangsheng was too fierce, and as soon as he came up, it was like entering a no-man's land, breaking through the first two layers of the big array.

Gao Yingxiang didn't panic when he saw this, because it was the elite of the Red Lady who was guarding in the Chinese army, and they had more than 300,000 elite main forces alone!

The Red Lady is Gao Yingxiang's cronies, and the elite under the Red Lady's command is even better than the rest of the leaders, so she is naturally relied on by Gao Yingxiang, so she was deliberately placed in the Chinese army.

Gao Yingxiang did not lightly move the 30,000 heavy armored cavalry under his command, but unhurriedly sent Cao Wenzhao's cavalry to prepare for a charge, and then began to send other leaders' soldiers and horses to the Chinese army to prepare to besiege and kill the lone Guanning iron cavalry, as long as the army arrived, and Cao Wenzhao entangled Lu Xiangsheng, he would inevitably be able to turn defeat into victory.

But Gao Yingxiang didn't count the hearts of the people even if he did everything.

Xiao Xuan looked at the Guanning Iron Cavalry who broke through the first two major formations and was about to break into his camp, and gave Liu Guoneng a look.

Liu Guoneng understood and returned to his own formation with his personal guards. First called a few cronies and generals to give a few words, and when the Guanning iron cavalry rushed to kill in front of him, the two sides engaged for a while, and some soldiers began to retreat, and at this moment there were people in the army shouting: "Guanning iron cavalry is so powerful, we are defeated, brothers run away!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the heart of leaving the army was shaken, and Liu Guoneng, who was still in the formation, took the lead in leading people to escape, and then Liu Guoneng's department immediately collapsed. Following Liu Guoneng, he crossed the last round formation composed of Gao Yingxiang's heavily armored iron cavalry and fled directly from the side and rear.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan led people to follow, and tens of thousands of troops followed Liu Guoneng forward.

The Chinese army is in chaos, how can the rogues be undefeated.

In these years, the Liukou has not received ideological education, and the distance between the various leaders is very long, Gao Yingxiang's orders cannot be conveyed, and even now many leaders cannot control their troops. Gao Yingxiang couldn't reprimand the defeated soldiers at all, and the disadvantages of having too many people were undoubtedly revealed at this time.

"King Chuang can't do anything now, let's retreat!" Li Jing pulled Gao Yingxiang, who had been tossing for a long time without the slightest effect, and did not let him continue to concentrate troops in vain.
