"Governor Dadu, the ancestral family is coming from the opposite side, and the Wu family is waiting for Guanning iron cavalry to help in the battle! Should we withdraw? ”

Chen is sometimes in charge of cavalry operations, although Kong Youde was assigned 3,000 men and horses, but there are still five or six thousand cavalry on hand, at this time he is responsible for the peripheral operations of the whole army, the news is the most well-informed, hearing that Guan Ning's iron cavalry is stationed, his heart is gloomy, but it is not Kong Youde who has an accident, right?

I have to say that these rebels in Dongjiang Town have excellent combat power, even if they are the world-famous Guanning Army, they can't please them in front of them, not to mention the hurriedly formed Guanmen Iron Cavalry Battalion, which is full of 5,000 cavalry, and Chen sometimes only sends 1,000 people, which is enough to contain it.

But when fighting with the Guan Ning army, you have to be cautious, after all, this is not an ordinary opponent!

"Brother Kong Xian is blessed, not Meng Lang's person, I expect him to go to other sides, this month, for us to delay time, just because my brother's strength is not good, failed to break the official army in front of him in one fell swoop, so that the Ming army gathered more and more, to this day, has become a strong enemy!"

Li Jiucheng shook his head, looked at the looming camp of the Ming army in the distance, and suddenly sighed,

Since the end of last year, it has been more than half a year, but in March the army besieged Laizhou City, to this day, has not broken the city, although the Ming governor Xu Congzhi, the general soldier Zhang Keda, etc., but did not occupy an absolute advantage, and even, the Ming army has always held the camp, unwilling to fight head-on.

He wanted to rush before the Guanning army went south, defeated the enemy in front of him, but failed to do it, and now under the command of Zhu Dadian, the abbot of the rebellion, gathered the general soldiers of the twelve towns, and the elite officers and soldiers had reached forty or fifty thousand people, and the battle began.

But Laizhou is just around the corner, once the official army is relieved, then Li Jiucheng can only lead his troops to retreat to Dengzhou, because all the strategic advantages will be lost, which is why he insists on fighting to the death with the Ming army under the city of Laizhou.

"The Grand Duke, but now. Our brothers have been exhausted, although the grain and grass can still be helped, but the official and military pressure is very urgent, and the confrontation has been long. It's not a good idea. ”

Geng Zhongming was the governor of Liaodong State, led an army by himself, and attacked Laizhou Buke, but he also had the intention of retreating and wanted to lead troops back to Dengzhou. Waiting for the situation to change, but how did he know that retreating to Dengzhou was nothing more than sitting back and waiting for death, allowing the officials and troops to occupy an absolute advantage.

Li Jiucheng looked at the generals in the tent, and even his son Li Yingyuan retreated, so a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart, this is a harbinger of defeat!

"The Governor of Dadu~Zhaoyuan Urgent Report~!"

I am preparing to strengthen my spirit. Li Jiucheng, who analyzed the battle situation with the generals and was ready to seek other methods, was about to speak, when he suddenly heard an urgent report outside the account, and was suddenly shocked, Zhaoyuan is the gateway to Denglai, attacking Laizhou, and must defend Zhaoyuan and Huang County, he sent the general Mao Youshun with 3,000 troops to guard Zhaoyuan, and Mao Chengfu led 2,000 troops to guard Huang County, all of which were all admonishments. How has it changed?

"Hurry up~"

"Tell the Governor of Dadu, the ancestral army of the Guanning army and the army of Wu Sangui, raided Zhaoyuan, and General Mao led the troops to fight with the Ming army outside the city. was disturbed by its attack, and fled in defeat, Zhaoyuan has been lost! ”

"What?!"

Li Jiucheng was not enough to stand, his mind was dizzy, and he couldn't accept this ending, how could Mao Youshun dare to go out of the city to engage the Ming army?

"I missed my big thing~!"

Just when the generals and others were in a panic. Another horse galloped into the camp, and knelt on one knee when he entered the main tent, "Dadu Governor, Huangxian County Emergency, Ming Army 1 35,000 cavalry, attack very urgently, General Mao Chengfu asked Dadu Governor to send reinforcements to rescue ~!" ”

"Father, please let me lead the troops to rescue Huang County, and I will defeat the official army and return victorious."

Things came to this point, Li Yingyuan took the initiative to ask for orders, and the Ming army became more and more engaged, so that his fighting spirit was aroused.

"Hugh be reckless."

Li Jiucheng has been in battle for a long time, and even Kong Youde, Chen Sometimes and other deputy generals from the imperial court, the generals are all ranked below him, which shows this person's status and ability in Dongjiang Town, he is not stupid, these two Ming armies are elite, and they are dispatched together, does this mean that the money and troops for the reinforcements of the Ming army have arrived?

Don't look at the fact that they are attacking Laizhou very urgently, and they are oppressing the imperial court reinforcements on the one hand, but that is based on the fact that the officials and the army are not the same, and the battle is afraid to advance, and because there was only a cavalry in Dongjiang Town such as Huanglong before, so he can occupy the advantage, but now, the imperial court has transferred the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Guanmen Iron Cavalry Battalion, and his advantage is gone.

Now that Zhaoyuan has been lost, Huangxian has been attacked again, and I am afraid that sooner or later it will be defeated.

So after pondering for a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Order all armies, closely monitor the Ming army, all departments will go first tonight with baggage, take the wounded brothers and brothers of each army, and go to Dengzhou together, the main force of each army, prepare separately, pass the order, all the cavalry assemble, and go to the Ming army camp early tomorrow morning to challenge and cover the retreat of all armies." ”

Now, only by taking advantage of the gap between the main cavalry of the Ming army rushing to attack Zhaoyuan and Huangxian outside, immediately retreat, retreat to Dengzhou, and take advantage of the city and artillery, can we continue to fight, if we continue to fight with the main force of the Ming army in the field of Laizhou, Li Jiucheng asked himself if he had no ability, but relying on the city and the water division, he sat on the back road, could not fight, and could retreat at any time.

"Oh~!"

The generals did not dare to slack off, and they had already had the intention of retreating, on this day, they suddenly stopped fighting outside Laizhou City, and all armies under the command of Li Jiucheng's waving arms carried out various preparations before retreating in an orderly manner, and these, in the eyes of Zhu Wannian, the supreme commander in Laizhou City, were the silence before the big war.

Rebels, this is going to attack Laizhou to the death~! So he sent the Ming army reinforcements from afar with beacon smoke to pray for rescue, and Zhu Dadian, who received the news, also took Deng Xi, the chief soldier of Jimen, and Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of the volunteers, as the left and right roads, and he personally supervised the army Huanglong, Jin Guoqi and other Dongjiang, Liaodong Town cavalry, with 10,000 people as the vanguard, and gradually approached the boundary of Shahe in Laizhou.

"Hmph, Zhu Dadian, the commander of the army is as timid as a mouse, and he dares to bully me today~!"

Even if he wants to retreat, Li Jiucheng is not afraid of these Ming troops at all, even if there are more of them, what can they do? Zu Dale, Zu Kuan, Wu Sangui and others of the Guanning Army did not arrive, and Zhang Waijia of the Guanmen Iron Cavalry Battalion did not arrive, and he was afraid of losing this cavalry army.

Therefore, with Chen Shi supervising the cavalry, he ordered 6,000 troops, Li Yingyuan ordered 15,000 infantry troops, and there were 300 artillery pieces and 7,000 firearms, with Gao Chengyou and Chen Guangfu as the left and right wings, he led the Chinese army to Shahe to meet the battle, leaving only Geng Zhongming to lead 30,000 elite soldiers, staying under the city of Laizhou, to prevent Zhu Wannian and other Ming troops from taking the opportunity to attack inside and outside.

On June 29, the fifth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, all the Ming army aided Denglai's various army horses, infantry and horses, 35,000 people, divided into various armies in the western section of the Shahe River, and the general soldiers lined up in a line also included Jin Guoqi, Deng Xi, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Yang Yufan, Zhang Tao, Huang Long, Mou Wenshou, Wu Anbang, Chen Hongfan, Wang Hong, Liu Guozhu and other twelve town commanders.

There are 5,000 war horses and 130 cannons, and Peng Youmo is in charge of the artillery team, but in terms of the quality of the army, the officers and soldiers who lost the main force of the Guanning Army and the Guanmen Iron Cavalry Battalion may not be the opponents of the rebels, but after supplementing a certain amount of money and food, the will to fight of the officers and soldiers is gradually high, with the middle section of the Shahe River as the boundary, Deng Xi, Liu Liangzuo, and Yang Yufan as the left side;

Mou Wenshou, Wu Anbang, Chen Hongfan, Liu Guozhu on the right; Liu Zeqing, Zhang Tao, Wang Hong for the middle road; Huang Long, Jin Guoqi responded to the cavalry, and the whole army stood still, waiting for Li Jiucheng's rebels to attack.

"The officers and soldiers put up an iron bucket formation to lure me to fight, but unfortunately, in my opinion, but the grass mustard, the army, aren't you afraid of the grass mustard in Shandong?!"

Li Jiucheng looked at the Ming army formation on the opposite side with disdain, and ordered the guards on the left and right, roaring loudly with this word, spreading the whole army, and then the morale of the three armies exploded, and they fought the Shandong soldiers, but they were never afraid~!

"Beat the drum to march, the artillery team to move forward, and defeat the Ming army~!"

If it is the Ming army that is eager to carry out a strategic decisive battle, it is better to say that Li Jiucheng can defeat the army in front of him in one fell swoop, then he will have the opportunity to completely sweep Shandong and achieve the cause of hegemony! At such a good time, An Neng did not press the whole army in one fell swoop.

So, the sound of high drums and the low sound of bull's horns sounded together, and the artillery array, with four or five people, pushed forward with small carts, kept approaching the position of the officers and soldiers, and the Ming army was oppressed by this momentum, and everyone was frightened when they heard it, and their morale was almost lost.

It would be too reluctant to expect them to fight with a professional army like Dongjiang Town, which is half bandit and half army, and even if there is no pressure from the Jiading troops, the oppression on the opposite side alone can make them collapse in an instant, this ~ is the Ming army!

The so-called elite officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty~!

"Steady, don't mess up, those who dare to escape from the battle, there will be no forgiveness~!"

If the Ming army is elite, it will not let Shandong become like this, and even more than half a year's work, almost all the elites in the north have been mobilized, and they will not be able to suppress the local rebellion.

"Fire~!"

Peng Youmo is also a good cannon general, since he commanded the artillery team, he has fought with thieves, and he has won and lost each other, but he was defeated before.

When the rebels were seventy or eighty miles away, he first roared at the rebel army formation with hundreds of pounds of general artillery and three pounds of neat iron bullets, which immediately attracted a rain of blood, and even an unlucky artillery array was directly smashed over, injuring dozens of people around him.

But the official artillery, after all, it is difficult to load, and the gunners are not skilled and elite, so before the battle formation, there is a sense of panic, and within seventy or eighty steps, Li Jiucheng is not a vegetarian, he has always commanded the artillery and the soldiers and is famous for the border town, at this time An can make the Ming army artillery array specialize in the front,

With a single order, the artillery of all armies compacted their positions as long as they could reach it, and then quickly loaded their guns and roared back against the officers and soldiers...... (To be continued.) )
