Chapter 44: Miserable! Battle of Yaozhou

Yu Zhigao led a large army to come, but set up camp five miles away from the city, and sent scouts to investigate the news in the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After a while, a scout came to report.

"General, the gate of Laizhou is wide open here, and the city seems to have died down, but it is a little strange!"

Hearing this, Yu Zhigao frowned.

In his opinion, it had only taken a lot of effort to make the city so quiet. Could it be that this is a situation set up by the thieves, just waiting for their own soldiers and horses to fall into the net, or is it that the thieves were afraid of the might of his Yu Shigao and his army, so they really withdrew!?

But even he Yu Zhigao himself doesn't believe in such an idea, such a menacing guy, can he really have any scruples?

Although he had doubts in his heart, he was born in a family of Jiangmen, but it was shameful to cower, not to mention that in order to recapture Laizhou City, he also fell out with Liu Zhaoji, the deputy commander-in-chief.

"Artillery men prepare, Laizhou City orientation, tentative shooting at Laizhou City!"

It is five miles away from Laizhou City, but the effective range of this field gun is 7~8 miles, and in ancient times, one field gun was about more than 400 meters in later generations, so the effective range of this field gun was enough to hit Laizhou City.

Because of the tentative firing, only ten field guns were shelled, with five rounds of ammunition each.

And with the roar of artillery, I saw a burst of fire on the city wall of Nalaizhou, and after a while, the shelling ended, and through the telescope, it seemed that there was still no sound in Laizhou City at this moment.

And right here, the scout came quickly, followed by a few officials, it seemed that the style was the official of the Laizhou Mansion, but the official robe here was torn, but it was a little embarrassed.

As soon as he saw Yu Zhigao, the first person immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"The magistrate of the Laizhou Mansion has seen the chief soldier!"

At this time, the magistrate said respectfully.

Although the practice of this empire has always been to use civil law to control military force to prevent the military from becoming bigger, but this general soldier is the person with the largest military attache rank in the empire, not to mention that Laizhou is a military town, although there is a prefect, but the general soldier Yu Zhigao is under the direct jurisdiction of Yuan Keli.

Yuan Keli is also a person, the governor of Denglai, the governor of Dongjiang, that is a superintendent-level figure, not to mention that the prefect of Laizhou City has seen it, so he has to be polite.

"Don't be polite, this official asks you, where is your prefect in the city, as well as the same knowledge and general judgment?"

"Back to my lordship, when the thief came, the Tongzhi lord died tragically in the chaos of the army, and the general judgment and the prefect were nowhere to be found, if it weren't for the fact that the lower officials were sick today and closed their doors, I am afraid that it would have been here..... I'm already following in the footsteps of the adults. ā€

Speaking of this, the magistrate was vaguely sobbing, after all, it was the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and no one would have this feeling.

"Alright, alright! What kind of system does the court official cry and cry into, by the way, in this way, you are now the biggest official in the city? ā€

"No, no, the lord is here now, how can the lower officials be great!"

Hearing what Yu Zhigao said, the pusher who was a little excited was busy putting away the true feelings before putting away, and he didn't dare to say again.

"You guy, how can you talk so much, this official, you ask you before this official comes, you are not in this city."

"Yes, yes. The thieves beat themselves away, but they were maintained by the lower officials alone in the city. ā€

However, before the official finished speaking, he was already interrupted by Yu Zhigao.

"What? Are you saying that the thieves have already withdrawn from the city? ā€

"But so, my lord, the thieves have been gone for a while, and it is really strange that this group of thieves does not rob property, but specifically harms those boat households, strange, strange."

The whispered words of the pusher reached Yu Zhigao's ears, and Yu Zhigao, who had heard that the thieves had dispersed, was a little excited, but when he heard this, suddenly, Yu Zhigao had an ominous premonition.

Looking at the thieves wearing the uniforms of the Ming army before he came, he thought he was looting, but if he was a bandit, why didn't he rob money and jewelry, but he specialized in robbing ships, could it be said that these thieves and thieves didn't do it, and they wanted to be pirates?!

Or is it ......

This was originally a conspiracy.

At this moment, another scout came to report that he had found many horseshoe prints at the west gate, but he was heading northeast.

Hearing what the scout said, at this time, Yu Zhigao's heart became more and more frightened.

Isn't the northeast direction the direction of Laizhou's sea port? And there, there is only one rush of soldiers and horses?!

"Guo Ping, Guo Ping! Fast, 3,000 people and horses will return to the front line of coastal defense! ā€

When he came back to his senses, Yu Zhigao shouted loudly, asking Guo Ping to lead the army back to help, but for such an order, Guo Ping received the order, but the generals of Laizhou were puzzled in their hearts.

Could it be that the chief soldier has never been sick, hasn't this army just been transferred back from the front line of coastal defense?

What's more, most of the army is foot soldiers, and most of them are tired during the continuous march.

And just when the armies were unwilling to move, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the southeast and southeast, but there was a puff of smoke and dust.

"Alert, alert, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

I don't know who called, but the soldiers who were originally a little sloppy immediately formed a formation to defend, and all of this was the result of Liu Zhaoji's years of training.

And just between the Laizhou army's back to the city and the formation of a defensive battle. At this moment, the cavalry that rushed all the way was also about three miles away, stopping the pace of advance.

However, it is said that it is the 2,000 cavalry troops led by the Dengzhou guerrilla Zhuang Zigu to reinforce Laizhou City.

"Returning to my lordship, facing my army in a defensive position on the other side, please make a decision!"

Here, facing the battle in the direction of Laizhou, there was a pioneer in the army to report.

"Send someone over, and say that I am Zhuang Zigu, a general of the guerrilla attack under the command of General Jiao Lianjiao, the general of Dengzhou, and I was ordered to come to reinforcements!"

Hearing that the official came to report, Zhuangzi's brows furrowed slightly, but he ordered to go down.

But it was said that the official of Nadu sent someone to shout in front of the formation, but when he heard this, Yu Zhigao frowned slightly.

"Imperial military order, without the order of the superintendent or the order of the military command department, no military horse in any defense area shall cross other defense areas without authorization, you go and ask, whether the other party has a military order of the superintendent or an order from the military command department!"

......

"General, General! The other party asked us if we had a military order to supervise the division or an order from the military command department. ā€

"Damn, Lao Tzu was ordered by the general to come to reinforcements quickly, how can there be any military orders and orders! This group of guys doesn't know what to do, they actually want to ask the master for an order, if the time is wrong, a few heads of this group of guys will ask the master for guilt, ahh Come on, come and talk to me! ā€

After all, Zhuang Zigu is young and vigorous, if you want to say that he is thirteen years old, killing people to die, he is a person who is in a free and easy mood, and now he is ordered to come to reinforcements, but he is blocked out of the city, but it is a nameless fire!

"The general can't, if that's the case, we're at a loss, and I hope the general will focus on the overall situation!"

Hearing what Zhuang Zigu said, his subordinates, the garrison, and the thousand presidents even said that the hundred generals surrounded him and immediately dissuaded him.

If you want to say that these people are going into battle to fight, it is only Zhuangzi who is looking forward to the horse, but what is this for? Rushing over, it was a battle between the two armies, the Imperial Army fighting the Imperial Army, what is this? That's a great sin!

As for everyone's dissuasion, Zhuang Zigu finally calmed down.

"Come on, give the order to go down and camp on the spot!"

After all, the other party claimed to be under the command of the Dengzhou General Army, and the Dengzhou soldiers were the personal guards of the Governor, and he did not dare to move, so the two sides set up camp with each other, but they confronted each other.

......

And when the Dengzhou soldiers and the Laizhou soldiers were confronting each other, Laizhou was on the front line of coastal defense.

During this time, Liu Zhaoji paced repeatedly in the big tent of the Chinese army, but his heart was a little inexplicably throbbing.

And in the meantime, there are scouts coming to report.

"General Yu, when the Yidu Division was in the midst of a small group of cavalry, the Lord of the Capital Division was engaged in a fierce battle!"

"What?!"
