Chapter 388: Counterattack under the cover of night
Ye Shaolong quickly quelled the war, and when he finished cleaning the battlefield, he remembered that the tower had not seen him come back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In desperation, he immediately led all the cavalry to chase in the direction where the tower disappeared. Ye Shaolong cursed the tower in a low voice while chasing: "Damn, don't you still understand the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing?" ”
Riding alone to chase a general who fled back to the army, once someone ambushes him halfway, wouldn't the tower be dangerous!
Things were just as Ye Shaolong guessed, when he was about to chase to the Taiyuan Army's station, he saw hundreds of people gathered in front of him.
The roar of the iron tower could be heard in the distance, and it was obvious that the iron tower had fallen into Shen Dangui's ambush as Ye Shaolong expected.
Hundreds of people surrounded and beat one person, and even the iron tower couldn't last long. Ye Shaolong didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered the cavalry battalion to rush forward at full speed to rescue.
The cavalry battalion was brought out by the iron tower, and the iron tower is not a bad breed, but also a good general who is upright. Seeing that the general was besieged at this moment, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion immediately rushed up to save people under Ye Shaolong's order.
When Shen Dangui saw Ye Shaolong coming, he secretly said that he was unlucky, and immediately turned around and left without hesitation. Just a little bit, he can kill the tower, although the rescue of the Zhangjiakou army failed, but as long as the tower is killed, it is also a great achievement.
Not only can it offset the fault of poor rescue, but it will definitely be able to regain the appreciation of foreigners, and it is not a problem to be promoted and make a fortune.
But I never expected that the Zhangjiakou army would be so poor, and it couldn't even delay the time for itself. Shen Dangui's heart is very complicated at the moment, and now he doesn't know how to explain to foreigners after he goes back.
Four thousand and the Qing army surrendered, and seeing that the whole army was wiped out, he knew very well that if he went back to the Taiyuan army at this time, his life would definitely be worried.
After thinking about it again, Shen Dangui still didn't dare to go back, but turned the horse's head again and left from another direction.
The Qing army besieging the tower suddenly saw a large number of cavalry attacking, and they immediately ran away, and the tower was finally able to catch its breath. It was so dangerous just now that he almost died at the hands of these Lou Lou.
After chasing all the way to this point, the tower never expected that the cunning Shen Dangui would still have an ambush on the way.
Naturally, two legs could not outrun four legs, and the Qing army scattered and fled, but was quickly caught up by the cavalry. Without any mercy, the Yejiabao cavalry raised their swords and fell, reaping the lives one by one.
Ye Shaolong was distressed in the back, now he is the most soldiers, although these Qing troops are not good, they are always much stronger than the soldiers he recruited the people and trained them for another year and a half.
These Qing troops only need to be disrupted to join the Yejiabao army, and they can become veterans without a few days of running-in. But the people of the cavalry battalion only cared about venting, and did not have any mercy at all, and killed people when they saw them.
"Stop!"
When Ye Shaolong caught up to stop it, it was still too late. At this moment, there are less than a hundred Qing troops on the battlefield who are still alive.
"Iron Tower!"
Looking at the dead corpses all over the battlefield, Ye Shaolong was completely angry now. He had already decided that he had to punish the tower.
It is not trivial for the marshal to be angry, and none of the people present dared to respond out loud.
"Iron Tower, you get out of here." Ye Shaolong was furious and shouted again.
But there was still no movement in the iron tower, Ye Shaolong frowned, and suddenly felt uneasy.
Just when Ye Shaolong thought that the iron tower was seriously injured or dead, he suddenly left the army quickly and ran towards the east city gate.
Ye Shaolong took a closer look and found that it was actually an iron tower, obviously this guy absconded in fear of crime.
Tie Ta was stupidly trying to admit his mistake to Ye Shaolong just now, but when he saw Ye Shaolong angry, he began to hesitate.
After following Ye Shaolong for so long, this was the first time he had seen him so angry. After thinking about it carefully, he decided to avoid it for the time being.
"Bastard, you still dare to escape." Ye Shaolong didn't say a word, and immediately rode his horse to chase after him.
"Dashuai, I will definitely bear the guilt of Jing tomorrow."
The iron tower replied to Ye Shaolong from a distance, and then ran away without looking back.
Ye Shaolong gave up after chasing less than a mile, slowly returned to the battlefield, and ordered the cavalry battalion to return to the city with nearly a hundred prisoners.
The news of the defeat of the Zhangjiakou army soon spread to the Taiyuan army, and Jesley did not wait for Shen Dangui to think that he had been killed in battle. Then he didn't think much about it, and he was the only one left in front of him, and he was hesitating whether to retreat or continue the attack.
Obviously, without the containment of the Zhangjiakou army, it would be difficult for his Taiyuan army to break through the city, let alone defeat the Yejiabao army.
But it was not easy to have such an opportunity today, and if you didn't even dare to fight a battle and retreated, it would obviously have a great impact on the morale of the Taiyuan army.
After thinking about it, Jesley finally decided to try to attack the city tomorrow. Then see the effect before making a decision to stay.
His plan was approved by all his men, and no one objected to him.
The sky was getting dark, dusk was coming, the Yejiabao army did not dare to fight, and the Taiyuan army did not dare to attack the city at will, and the two sides were at peace for a while.
But this was the calm before the storm, and Jesley had no idea that his decision would have immeasurable consequences for himself.
Under the cover of night, I saw that from the direction of Yejiabao, nearly 10,000 troops were advancing rapidly towards the north city gate. In the direction of Baoding City, 2,000 infantry also arrived in the capital under the leadership of Li Chengke.
More than 10,000 troops quietly entered the capital, and so far, the Yejiabao army stationed in the capital has reached nearly 30,000 people, which is already equivalent to the strength of the Taiyuan army.
When Ye Shaolong returned to the capital, it happened to be the time when the Yejiabao army and the reinforcements from Baoding City arrived. The reinforcements of the two sides finally joined forces in the imperial city, waiting for Ye Shaolong's final instructions.
The iron needs to be struck while it is hot, Ye Shaolong did not delay, and immediately launched the order to attack the Taiyuan army.
The cavalry battalion was once again led by the iron tower from the east gate to the back of the Taiyuan army. Always ready to give the Taiyuan army a weighing blow.
And Ye Shaolong, together with Su Can and Li Chengke, led the whole army and directly attacked the Taiyuan Army from the front.
The west gate was wide open, and the Yejiabao army continued to pour out, and under the cover of night, they quickly advanced to the military camp of the Taiyuan army.
When the distance between the two sides was less than a mile, the Taiyuan army had not yet discovered the Yejiabao army in front of them. After Ye Shaolong ordered the order to blow the general attack, the Taiyuan army woke up.
But at this time, it was too late, and the Yejiabao army easily broke through the two front defenses of the Taiyuan army. Rush into the barracks of the Taiyuan army as fast as possible.
