At this time, on the wilderness south of Yizhou City, the entanglement between Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang headquarters and the main force of Huang Taijizheng's white flag had entered the third day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With the fluttering of snowflakes, the whole world has been shrouded in white.

On the wilderness, several units of the Ming army, about 10,000 people, relying on the previous accumulated fortifications, slowly advanced in the direction of the city of Yizhou.

The main force of the White Banner of Huang Taiji did not rashly send cavalry to attack, but firmly guarded the camp under the city, quietly waiting for the attack of the Ming army.

It's not that Huang Taiji doesn't want to take Mao Wenlong and the Dongjiang headquarters in one go, the main reason is that the Dongjiang headquarters has a strong army, more than 30,000 people.

In addition, Mao Wenlong was cunning and abnormal, step by step, the fortifications were undulating, coupled with the bad weather, the might of the cavalry, it was difficult to exert himself in this state.

In particular, the combat strength of the Dongjiang headquarters should not be underestimated, and in the confrontation in the first two days, there were nearly 1,000 casualties among the regular soldiers and minions of the white flag.

Although the casualties of the Dongjiang headquarters were even worse than those of the Houjin army, this still gave Huang Taiji a headache.

Huang Taiji saw it very clearly, Mao Wenlong's strategy was basically 'ants to build embankments', a large number of auxiliary soldiers in front of the road were opened, and the main force was hidden behind, and the Houjin army was killed and injured through the Ming army's long-range weapons such as guns and bows and arrows.

And once the main force of the white flag is assembled, they will quickly hide behind the fortifications and flee, taken in the continuous fortification group of the Ming army, the main force of the white flag can not reach the battlefield at once, these auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers are running faster than rabbits, they are in a hurry, but there is not much way.

The best way is to wait for the Ming army to send it to the door itself, and then deliver a fatal blow.

And looking at today's appearance, Mao Wenlong was afraid that he couldn't help it, as if he had the intention of doing his best, Huang Taiji didn't dare to startle the snake, and quietly waited for the fish to take the bait.

The battle formation of the Ming army's Dongjiang headquarters.

In the sky above the Chinese army, the sun and moon waves swayed with the wind, and a big banner with the word "Mao" was dazzling.

Under it, Mao Wenlong rode on a tall maroon war horse, quietly staring at the battle formation in front of him, beside him, dozens of generals such as Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu were on the side.

The battle has reached this level, although there is no 'white knife in, red knife out', but Mao Wenlong has already understood that it is impossible for him to take Yizhou City.

Although he was unwilling, this was a fact, and Mao Wenlong could only choose to accept it in the end.

In fact, in the past few days, Mao Wenlong also racked his brains and came up with a lot of poisonous schemes, wanting to seduce the main force of the Huang Taiji Zheng White Banner and set up an ambush to destroy it.

However, Mao Wenlong is shrewd, but Huang Taiji is not stupid, he always makes his main force firmly surround Yizhou City, and will never rush out half a step.

After several entanglements, Mao Wenlong had no choice but to attack from the front.

But although the Ming army has the advantage of troops, where is the advantage of Huang Taiji so easy to take advantage of?

In particular, the Ming army had no cavalry and lacked the advantage of mobility, although it was nominally a 'siege', but in fact, it was only a forced city, and Mao Wenlong and the Dongjiang headquarters could only rely on the existing fortifications in the south and always fight around the south.

Fortunately, with the successful experience of Li Yuanqing and the Changsheng Battalion, Mao Wenlong also has a very clear direction, that is, to push the fortifications over, try to avoid frontal contact, and make more use of long-range strikes.

But Mao Wenlong knew very well that if it was placed in ordinary times, this was definitely a good way to force the city.

Slowly consumed, slowly grinding little by little, the Houjin army will eventually be unable to withstand it, and Yizhou will be in his pocket sooner or later.

But this has one of the most important premises, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are under Zhenjiang City, delaying the main force of Houjin.

At this time, the river had not yet frozen, and news also came from Li Yuanqing's side that the camp was safe and everything was normal.

But Mao Wenlong understood that even though Li Yuanqing was powerful and experienced in battle formations, it was still too big to be directly exposed to the main force of the Houjin Army.

In particular, the progress of the main force is not smooth, although there are also hundreds of Tartars in the first level, but this does not play a decisive role in the overall situation.

Who is Mao Wenlong?

How could he sit back and wait for death like this?

On this expedition, he really had the intention of avenging the previous one, but more importantly, it was because of the arrival of the main force of Houjin, which threatened the situation of Chao ~ Xian.

Although Mao Wenlong hated Tartar to the core, at his age, what storms had he not seen? What else can't be put down?

At this time, although Mao Wenlong's expression was solemn, around him, Chen Jisheng, Mao Chenglu, Chen ~ Liangce and other generals were very excited.

"Dashuai, Tartar is a lot more honest today. Look at this, we have a lot to do today! Mao Chenglu said excitedly.

Chen ~ Liangce also smiled: "Dashuai, the life of the Tartar is precious. Being pressed and beaten by us like this, Huang Taiji's dog was also scared. With just a few more days of delay, we will be able to take Uiju City! ”

Chen ~ Liangce said, his little eyes were shining, as if he had seen the overwhelming glory after recovering Yiju City, and smashed it straight towards his face.

He, including the generals of Dongjiang, was too eager for merit.

Especially with Li Yuanqing's role model here.

They are all human beings, and they are all old brothers who started playing together, how can he not be in a hurry?

Chen Jisheng said at this time: "Dashuai, the main force of the white flag has not been damaged, and it has been hidden." We must not act rashly. ”

With the previous defeat in Kuandian, Chen Jisheng was much calmer than before, and he deeply understood that Huang Taiji, a dog crumb, was definitely a master who ate people and did not spit out bones.

Where is his cheapness so easy to take advantage of?

Mao Wenlong nodded, and slowly exhaled a long breath, and the expressions of the generals around him naturally did not escape his eyes.

He suddenly remembered what Li Yuanqing had said to him before, "The advantage of the Dongjiang River lies in guerrillas. It would be unwise to fight head-on. ’

At this point, Mao Wenlong felt more and more that Li Yuanqing's words were correct.

In the past few years, he has faced the main force of the Houjin Army several times, although Mao Wenlong has also gained a little, but basically he has lost more than he gains.

Calm down and think about it carefully, Mao Wenlong also knows very well that this is actually inevitable.

Although he can consider everything thoughtfully, his congenital disadvantages are placed here, especially after going deep inland, in terms of mobility, the sons and daughters of the Dongjiang headquarters are far from being comparable to the Houjin army.

This is doomed, even if the Ming army occupies the initiative, it is difficult to turn this initiative into an initiative.

As the saying goes, 'take one step, look at three steps'.

When I got to Mao Wenlong, I needed to 'take one step and see ten steps'.

But even if Mao Wenlong anticipates everything, many uncontrollable sudden factors often produce variables, making the overall situation fall short.

Mao Wenlong knew very well that in the final analysis, this was because the sons and daughters of his headquarters were not 'hard' enough, and they couldn't be like Li Yuanqing, fighting hard against the main force of the Houjin Army.

They have to resort to 'ingenuity'.

And once there is no such ingenuity, everything can only be empty talk.

But at this time, the generals and sons around him are so excited and looking forward to it, how can Mao Wenlong directly throw out unpleasant words?

He pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said: "No matter what kind of calculation Huang Taiji makes, today, he must pay some price!" Pass on our military orders and continue to strengthen the offensive! ”

"Yes!" The surrounding generals were overjoyed, and the order was quickly passed to the front line.

Soon, the Ming army rushed towards the battle formation of the white flag as if it had been beaten with chicken blood.

…………

It's the tenth day of November.

At this time, in the camp of the Ming army on the south side of the Zhenjiang River, Li Yuanqing stood on a high platform, quietly watching the movements of the Houjin army.

For three days in a row, the Houjin army did not launch another offensive against the Ming army camp and maintained a tight defense. It seems that the Ming army became the attacker, and then the Jin army became the defender.

After three days of cultivation, the sons and daughters of the Ming army also recovered a lot, they ate well, drank well, and were all in good spirits, waiting for the Houjin army to attack.

"Dog-day tartars, what the hell are they thinking? Did the old slave kick the donkey in the head? They didn't even attack the city? ”

Chen Zhong spat extremely unpleasantly, and looked at the Houjin army camp to the north viciously.

In the past three days, the Ming army's camp defense has become more and more perfect, especially the arrangement of a large number of 'land mines', just waiting for the Tartars to come up and step on it.

But they didn't come, how could Chen Zhong accept it?

Zhang Pan said: "Lao Chen, the old slave will never let us stay here, I estimate that the offensive of the Tartars is about to come." I'm afraid, even more violent than the last time. We must be ready and ready. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Big brother, what Brother Zhang said is good. At this time, Dashuai's side had reached a stalemate with Huang Taiji. The old slave must also want to find a breakthrough as soon as possible. We're right under his nose, and we don't take it lightly. ”

Chen Zhong sighed and said, "Yuanqing, Lao Zhang, I understand. I'm looking forward to the good news from Dashuai's side! ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, the matter has come to this, the initiative is on Mao Wenlong, they can only hold on here and wait for Mao Wenlong's news first.

At this time, there were fast horses rushing over from the east, "Report ~~~, Mao Shuai on the Eastern Front urgently report!" ”

The three of them were all in good spirits, and Chen Zhong hurriedly said: "Hurry, quickly present it!" ”

After a while, the soldiers hurriedly and quickly submitted the battle report and handed it over to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing quickly glanced at it, his face couldn't help but be gloomy, but after a moment, he stretched out again, and let out a long breath of turbidity, as if he had been relieved.

Chen Zhong hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, what's going on over there?" ”

Li Yuanqing handed the battle report to Zhang Pan, "Let Brother Zhang read it." ”

Under Li Yuanqing's words and deeds, although Chen Zhong already recognized a few words, he was still far from it.

Zhang Pan has always been in charge of Dongjiang logistics, in this regard, much stronger than Chen Zhong, took the letter, busy reading, "Headquarters and November 9, in Yizhou defeated the white flag of Huang Taiji, but the city of Yizhou is close, and the headquarters failed to conquer the city. After careful consideration, he decided to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the white flag of Yizhou and retreat to the front line of Yanzhou and Tieshan. ”

After Zhang Pan finished reading, he said in a low voice: "Since the commander and the headquarters have already won, why would they ......?"

As he spoke, he also figured it out a little, and hurriedly looked at Li Yuanqing.

The corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth showed a smile of relief, even if Mao Wenlong did not win, he should never be defeated.

Since he made the decision to retreat to Iron Mountain, he must have already seen the overall situation thoroughly.

With the state of the Ming army at this time, it was only two departments in southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, and the old slave came to the battlefield in person, with the strength of the two departments, to fight against the weight of the whole country of Houjin, which was by no means done by a wise man.

Based on Li Yuanqing's understanding of Mao Wenlong, presumably, under the city of Yizhou, Mao Wenlong and the Dongjiang headquarters have already obtained a lot of Tartar heads, and they should be able to explain the past in all aspects.

And retreating to the front line of Tieshan can restrain the main force of Houjin from pressing towards Chao ~ Xian inland, making him and the Dongjiang headquarters invincible.

Sure enough, he is a fortune teller!

Chen Zhong hadn't figured it out at this time, and hurriedly said, "Yuanqing, Lao Zhang, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" Say it quickly, but it will kill Lao Tzu! ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother, I'll explain this matter to you later!" Someone, pass on my military order! The whole army assembles, defends, and prepares to retreat! ”
