Chapter 124: Cutting off food and grass

When Li Xingze looked at these warships, the joy in his heart was indescribable, but when he thought of the huge losses of soldiers, he fell into deep thought. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"General Chen, go back to Xuzhou, let the Yingzhou Red Turban Army drive back half, and the rest will be ours!" After Li Xingze weighed it again, he groaned.

Although he also wanted to, he had to block Yingzhou's mouth, so he had to split five or five points.

"Yes!"

Chen Youliang had no choice but to respond helplessly, these warships were things that couldn't be bought with money, so they took half of them, and felt uncomfortable with the boss in his heart.

After Li Xingze explained, he and Zhang Junbao rushed back to Dangshan.

......

Don't Timur was stunned, but he didn't expect that Li Xingze would play a secret crossing of Chen Cang, resulting in the annihilation of the navy.

Although Bao Ennu is not a compatriot, he is also his younger brother, so he was arrested and walked around the military tent with resentment.

He and Li Xingze confronted each other in Dangshan, and the strength of both sides was about the same, so there was no good way to hit it with one blow for the time being, so he could only wait patiently for the opportunity.

"Master Li!" Miss Ma learned that Li Xingze and Bei Timur were in a stalemate in Dangshan, and Xuzhou had nothing else to do for the time being, so she rushed to help.

It seems that this anxious battle has touched the hearts of many people, Li Xingze smiled and hugged his fists and said: "I've seen the eldest lady!" ”

In front of everyone, after saying hello with a smile, Miss Ma quietly pulled Li Xingze aside, and immediately her face changed, and she said in a low voice: "The losses of the Yingzhou Navy are too great!" ”

Now Li Xingze can't concentrate on thinking about the war, one of the reasons is the statement about this battle in Yingzhou, knowing that Miss Ma will not come over this time, so he frowned and asked, "What did they say, Master Du?" ”

After sending back so many ships, he still couldn't stop Mingjiao's mouth, and Li Xingze suddenly felt a wave of slander in his heart.

Seeing Li Xingze's pouting, Miss Ma knew that he was not convinced, rolled her eyes and said, "Once the war here is over, I'm afraid you will have to stay in Yingzhou for a few days!" ”

If you want to ask yourself for help, you can say it directly, why bother to find such a clumsy excuse, Li Xingze lowered his head and said helplessly: "Where are you going to fight?" ”

Miss Ma knew that Li Xingze had always been so good, so she snorted and said with a smile: "Master Du hopes that you can join forces and attack Runing Mansion!" ”

The location of Runing Mansion is exactly the True Yang chosen by Du Zundao at the beginning, the first line of Wuyang, thinking of this, Li Xingze smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Why do they have to cut off Runing Mansion, this will anger the Yuan Court!" ”

Miss Ma pursed her lips, this strategic purpose can't be said to Li Xingze, after all, this is set by the high-level, and said with a sneer: "Maybe they like it there, right?" ”

What kind of answer is this, the shrewd Li Xingze will not be blinded by their statement, so he guessed that Mingjiao must have some plan, anyway, it has nothing to do with him, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

After Miss Ma's proposal, Li Xingze went straight to Xiayi with 20,000 red turban troops.

Xiayi is one of the strategic places of the soldiers of the past dynasties, and it belongs to the granary, and this time it is responsible for the logistics of the Yuan army led by Timur, and the defense is very tight.

Li Xingze had a 'criminal record' of burning grain before, so Don't Timur was very dead to his defense, and even a small Xiayi arranged 3,000 defenders.

Li Xingze didn't talk nonsense, and after he led his troops to arrive, he didn't even greet him, and directly attacked the city.

Like this, it is not for nothing that people directly attack the city, it is rare, after all, a strong attack means the loss of soldiers,

Li Xingze had no choice but to choose the next step, after all, Xiayi was not far from Dangshan, and less than two hours was enough for Timur to get the news and rush over.

Since Miss Ma proposed to rob the grain road, Li Xingze suddenly had some other ideas, he simply attacked Xia Yi directly, lured Timur after defeating it, and then found a chance to fight with the Yuan army.

Taking advantage of the fact that Timur was not paying attention at night, Li Xingze led people to slip out of Dangshan in the middle of the night, and after arriving in Xiayi in the early morning, he launched an attack on the city.

The main reason for choosing this time to attack the city was to make it easier when the Yuan army was sleepy, and everyone could see it, so it was convenient to rush up.

This time, in order to ensure the emergency, the first charge was Zhang Junbao and Hua Shaofeng.

Zhang Junbao sprinted quickly, kicked the root of the wall, stepped on it and borrowed the city wall again, and the five-zhang high city wall was climbed by him at once.

The sound of the whistle resounded in the air of Xiayi, and the guards on the city wall woke up one after another, and quickly aimed their weapons at Zhang Junbao.

Zhang Junbao and Hua Shaofeng are old partners, I think at the beginning, the two of them rushed into the camp of the Yuan army and cooperated for half a night, and there were only dozens of guards on the city wall, which was not enough for the two of them to see.

The other red turban soldiers were busy climbing, and only Hua Shaofeng was the only one who stretched out his bow and arrows under the city, his eyes narrowed, and he plucked the bowstring as fast as lightning, and one arrow after another flew from under the city, shooting the Yuan soldiers on the city head to the ground repeatedly.

With Hua Shaofeng's cover, Zhang Junbao's figure was more flexible, and he was light and elegant in the crowd of Yuan soldiers who rushed over.

This time, such as the destruction of the withering and decaying means of killing, did not scare the Yuan army, but the Xuzhou Red Turban Army that swarmed up was startled, where have I seen such a siege, seeing the two people who showed their might, the good hand of the Xuzhou Red Turban Army also climbed the city wall with confidence, and after a while, the city gate was opened.

With the Red Turban Army entering the city and the defeat of the Yuan army defending the city, this siege battle ended, and the whole time took less than an hour.

Li Xingze, who had been watching from the outside, fell to the ground like a stone, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet: "Quick!" ”

As the granary of the Yuan army was burned by a raging fire and thick black smoke rose, it happened that Zhao Pusheng led the rest of the Red Turban Army stationed in Dangshan to arrive, and Li Xingze commanded the army to withdraw from Xiayi and go to Qingliang Mountain.

After receiving a report from a spy who had been spying on the Red Turban Army, and learning that the Red Turban Army stationed in Dangshan had actually withdrawn without saying a word, he didn't even care about the camp, so Don Timur hurriedly informed the whole army to pull out the camp and go to follow.

In the early morning, the camp of the Yuan army was in a panic, and after the camp was cleared, Don't Timur set off with nearly 40,000 yuan of troops.

Soon after departure, the Yuan army that followed Zhao Pusheng quickly returned, and Timur learned that Xiayi had been captured by Li Xingze.

A small city was guarded by 3,000 people, and it was captured in such a short period of time, Don't Timur was full of disbelief, immediately pulled out his waist knife, gritted his teeth and pointed at the spy angrily: "Tell me what you know carefully!" ”

The grain depot was burned, and it was still needed to ensure the departure of the 40,000 yuan army, but it was an extraordinary trivial matter, how could Timur calm down.

Hearing what happened, the cavalry general Aluhuike saw that the green muscles were gradually rising, and he immediately wiped his sweat in his heart, this Li Xingze was too cunning, the last time he fought the navy, it was less than two days, and the same technique was used on Xiayi's side.

Don't Timur suddenly shouted: "The cavalry quickly pursued and killed Li Xingze, no matter what the price, he must be left behind!" ”

Aluhuik hurriedly clenched his fists and said yes, and immediately led the cavalry to pursue the Red Turban Army that fled to the direction of Qingliang Mountain.

......

At this time, the Red Turban Army had already begun to arrange in Qingliang Mountain, and Li Xingze was very anxious, after all, time was limited, and it was not difficult to set up a stage to act in such a short time.

"Senior nephew, just now the spies came to report that the cavalry of the Yuan army has followed our army!" Zhao Pusheng, who got the information, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ran over to report.

The granary supplying the 40,000 yuan army for the confrontation was burned, and the Yuan army was bound to be desperate to pursue the Red Turban Army and was in a hurry to fight a decisive battle, Li Xingze had already thought of it.

Although Li Xingze was anxious in his heart, as the commander of the First Army, he couldn't show it yet, and after hearing it, he just raised his eyebrows, and asked lightly: "How long will it take to come!" ”

"About half an hour!" Zhao Pusheng estimated and hurriedly replied.

Li Xingze nodded without moving, and walked around to continue to check the progress of the Red Turban Army soldiers.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, why don't you say junior brother is in a hurry?" Li Xingze's style seems to be not taking it to heart, but the other people around him are in a hurry, Zhang Junbao asked puzzledly.

Zhao Pusheng glanced at Zhang Junbao and said in a low voice: "He is pretending, can he not be in a hurry?" That's 5,000 cavalry, just come! ”

"Oh"

Zhang Junbao reacted at this time, it turned out that Li Xingze was pretending to show his subordinates.

The Xuzhou Red Turban Army has not been established for a long time, and many people have never seen blood, so they received such a big battle, saying that it is not false to say that it is false, the commander is used to stabilize the morale of the army, in order to make the soldiers feel at ease, Li Xingze, as the commander, really can't show any panic.

This time Li Xingze's arrangement in Qingliang Mountain is deliberately aimed at Aluhuik's cavalry, after all, there are these 5,000 cavalry, the variables of the two sides in the battle are too great, if the cavalry is successfully defeated, maybe Timur will withdraw, after all, it will not last for a long time, there is no food and grass to continue, and the Yuan army is consuming that it is self-defeating.

There were Chen Youliang's brigs patrolling the waterway every day, and it was impossible to keep the grain and grass lines of the Yuan army running.

......

Qingliang Mountain is just a hill a little higher than the surface, about 100 zhang long and wide, separated by ravines on all sides, and almost all of them are dry weeds and low shrubs.

When the 5,000 cavalry led by Aluhuik arrived at Qingliang Mountain, Li Xingze had already divided the Red Turban Army into three parts of the inverted characters on the back and sides of Qingliang Mountain.

Aluhuik couldn't help but sneer when he saw the formation of the Red Turban Army, this formation did not have the slightest ability to resist horses, and the cavalry could ignore the threats on both sides and go straight to the center.

"Kill me!"

Aluhuik did not delay, directly drew his waist knife, and shouted angrily and waved the knife towards the Chinese army.

The cavalry of the Yuan army swarmed and rushed to the position of the Chinese army where Li Xingze was, but the Red Turban Army on both flanks did not move, allowing Aluhuik's 5,000 cavalry to rush in.
