Chapter 243: A rare opportunity, the army marches
"Lord Commander, the head of the thief, the first god of thieves, led an army of two or three thousand elite horsemen, and went out of the west gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
An official cavalry, galloped to the camp tent, turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground, Wang Chengen heard this, suddenly changed color, but not surprised, but ecstatic, "Sure enough, I hit the plan!" β
Only this roar, and immediately said, "Light the beacon fire, notify the subordinate departments, get out of the way, stick to the camp, and let the gods go south, if you dare to move a soldier and a pawn, there will be no forgiveness!" β
"Whoa!" The herald did not dare to disobey in the slightest, and immediately took the order.
Wang Chengen summoned the generals and quickly ordered, "Order Wang Ren to lead the barracks and cavalry, wait for the thieves to ride out of the three miles, intercept and kill their rear team, and there must be no mistake." β
"Whoa."
"Where is the time to guard the firewood?" Then he shouted, "I order you to lead 1,200 men and horses in the Qi barracks, monitor stability, and do not allow thieves to go into battle." β
"Whoa."
"The rest of the departments, go out to war with me, and join the governor to send down the camp and annihilate this group of thieves."
"Yes!"
With more than 30 generals under Yansui chief military officer Wang Chengen, more than 1,500 soldiers led by more than 1,500 people, and marched south with the main force of 2,000 cavalry of Shen Yikui.
There is also the banner of Jiang Zi from the southwest, which is the deputy general Jiang Yiyang's headquarters of 800 elites, and then there are soldiers Zhang Fuzhen, the governor Lian Guoshi led the main force of the Qin soldiers to arrive, Shen Yikui was very angry, but seeing that the official army was strong, it was difficult to resist for a while, and the three hundred elites after their own family were cut off into a death battle with Wang Chengen's department, and the rest of them had a hundred cavalry that were bitten by the official army and could not escape, so they could only fight to the death.
If he responds, I am afraid that when the various departments of the official army surround him, he will be surrounded and annihilated, especially when he sees the soldiers and horses of Guyuan and Shaanxi coming out together, he knows the plan, and looks at the Feng Zi banner under the command of the chief military officer of Linzhao in the south, where does he dare to stay for a long time, just take the rest of the more than 1,000 horsemen, and rush to the weak point of the southwest official army.
Jiang Yiyang was the weakest, with only 800 soldiers and horses under his command, thinking that he was waving the flag and shouting when he came up, and he was not prepared for battle at all, and his subordinates were not paid, and they had little combat effectiveness, but they were rushed by the main elite of the thief army, and they could not be stopped at all.
Jiang Yiyang himself shouted, "It's over, it's over." β
He turned around and walked away with the support of the guards, and did not resist at all, resulting in the official army planning Zhou Xiang, but it was a hundred secrets, and a useless one was placed in the key position, his subordinates were 800 people, and there were more than 100 people who were killed on the spot, and there were also 100 people who ran away without knowing where to go, and there were only more than 500 people left as soon as they were closed afterwards.
Shen Yikui made a quick decision, left behind more than 300 dead soldiers of the old battalion, and succeeded in surviving with his broken tail, and did not dare to continue to the south, so he went to the west to join Li Dusi's army.
Waiting for Cao Wenzhao to break through Liu Daojiang and lead the army to converge, the official army already has three general soldiers, more than ten deputy generals, generals and guerrilla garrisons, headed by the governor of Shaanxi to practice state affairs, there are more than 3,000 cavalry troops, more than 5,000 infantry troops, and the county town of Anding will be besieged.
And at this moment in the county, there are more than 20,000 thieves under the general Zhang Mengjin to hold on, and there is also Shen Yikui himself in the west to join the remnants of Liu Daojiang, and Li Dusi's 5,000 men and horses, and more than 10,000 people, but afraid of the strength of the official army, dare not challenge easily, only wait for one day, his general Red Army friends brought 30,000 strong to converge.
Because this thief army set up a flag to converge, the momentum is very great, and there are Shen Yi Kui Du San, Yang Laochai each brought 10,000 people to come, and the rest such as Mantianfei, Hao Lin'an, Lone Wolf and other rebel leaders who were mixed in the vicinity of Yan'an Mansion rushed to converge, the soldiers and horses have reached seventy or eighty thousand people, although Shen Yikui lost three hundred elites, but the backbone is still there, and he is determined to fight with the official army in the vicinity of Anding to decide the outcome of the battle.
At this moment, there are less than 10,000 officers and soldiers, while the thief army has as many as 70,000 or 80,000 outside the city, and there are more than 20,000 people in the city, and the difference in strength has reached 10 times.
In the past dozens of days, such a big movement, ironclad will not escape the attention of people with intentions, not to mention that the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, continues to send troops to rescue, but the troops are thin, and they dare not challenge the thief army head-on, so they can only monitor from afar.
And Li Mao, the guard general of Yongning Prefecture in Shanxi, which borders Suide in the east, urgently reported to Li Jing in the starry night with 800 miles.
"What? Thieves gathered hundreds of thousands of people to fight a decisive battle with the official army in Anding County? "Isn't it in my impression that this big battle was fought by the officers and soldiers chasing the peasant army from beginning to end? Li Jing is really confused, but the battle report reported by Li Mao is by no means groundless!
"Lord, the slave and maid lived up to expectations, and also sent secret agents into Yan'an Mansion, this morning with a flying pigeon to send a message, saying that the officials and soldiers in the mansion and Suide Prefecture, all rushed to Anding, and the local people were panicked, and they all said that there were hundreds of thousands of thieves, and the officials and soldiers were confronting it." Wei Xiaobao said the last sentence at the right time, which completely dispelled Li Jing's thoughts.
"Do you know who the leader of the rebels is?!" Li Jing is really confused, this is completely different from his limited memory, history! At this moment, there was an unrecognizable change, and he breathed rapidly and hurriedly asked.
Wei Xiaobao confirmed, "Naining is the god of the border army. β
"Get the map!" Li Jing didn't care about the history in his mind, he was sleepy and just sent a pillow, Shaanxi is in chaos, the more chaotic the better, it is best to make a mess of the territory occupied by the officials and soldiers, the more dead officers and soldiers, the less control the court has over the three sides, and the lower the difficulty of occupying Shaanxi in the future.
"Stability is hundreds of miles away from Yongning Prefecture, all parties have made detailed reports, at the moment the two sides are already tense, and the war is about to start, we want to reinforce the righteous army, it is too late, but we must not sit and wait to see!" Li Jing slammed the table and instructed Wei Xiaobao, "Grinding ink, the record is as follows." β
Wei Xiaobao knew that when it was time to make a decision, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately opened the paper and looked at him.
"Eight hundred miles urgently, go to Guo Sheng and Li Mao first, say that the Shaanxi Righteous Army, my barrier is also! If you can't see it, you can't save it! But it can't be rescued in the name of my beggar army, you can find the local rebels, take off their military uniforms, pretend to be Qindi soldiers and horses, Guo Sheng is out of Shenmu, and it is not allowed to ask the imperial court Yulin Town to send a soldier to rescue stability. β
He said hurriedly, "Li Mao can pretend to be in the name of Zhao Sheng, go out of Wubao with the main force, and go straight to Suidezhou, don't be precise and ruthless!" Cut off the back road of the officers and soldiers! Forcing the officers and troops to turn back, if by then the officers and troops have won a great victory, they must be careful to preserve the whole army. β
Speaking of which, Li Jing didn't make up his mind, yes! Once the official army won a complete victory and wiped out the main force of the rebels, then he would be on wax, and the combat effectiveness of Cao Wenzhao's troops was not ordinarily strong.
Wei Xiaobao knew that he couldn't urge at this moment, but just looked at him nervously, waiting for his next decision, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, so he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "My lord, if the official army and the rebel army win and lose each other, and become anxious, what will happen to the Fourth Brigade?!" β
"What if the officers and the rebels win and lose each other, and the situation of confrontation becomes a confrontation?" Li Jing thought silently, going back and forth, but he couldn't make up his mind.
The situation is excellent, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers against more than 100,000 rebels, even if it is hundreds of thousands of pigs, it is not so easy to kill, this must be a bitter battle that takes a long time, if their own main force of the fourth brigade of five or six thousand people, suddenly appear behind the officers and soldiers, cut off their retreat, then the officers and troops are bound to fight to the death reflexively, do this, is it really worth it?!
If defeated, the imperial court will be furious, and the whole army will squeeze Taiyuan Mansion, and then they will be newly defeated, the army's heart will be turbulent, and the reform will not be successful, and it will not be an opponent, and it may even be untenable, and it will become a rogue from then on.
But if it is going to win, the main force of the official army of Qin Di will suddenly go halfway, the righteous army will sweep the place, and Hong Chengchou will also have to sit on wax! And he can take advantage of the situation to enter Qin, and from then on he will have the momentum of secession, the new defeat of the imperial court, and the threat of inserting the iron cavalry of Lin Dan Khan of the Han Department on the front line of Xuanda, may not be able to draw the main force south.
And Shanxi Town, not to mention, as long as he dares to act blatantly, I am afraid that Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen will not be able to stop it for a moment, and when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of millions of rebels will be connected, and Zhu Ming's country will only change the sky.
On the one hand, the remnants of Dongjiang Town, Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde, rebelled in Shandong, which has intensified, and successively defeated Zhang Keda, the general soldier of Shandong, who went to suppress it, and the imperial court has decided to transfer the Beizhili and Henan soldiers and horses near Shandong to fight in Lu.
If you win! If you win! Li Jing almost didn't dare to imagine that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had already appeared in front of him, breaking the Shenzhou can't take care of it, with this battle, the court will never have peace, and there will be no time to deal with him!
"!" Li Jing seemed to cheer himself up, "Lose his mother, fight!" β
Wei Xiaobao listened attentively, but didn't hear any movement, only saw Li Jing's lips seem to move, and was about to ask, when he suddenly saw Li Jing come forward, snatch the brush in his hand, and put down the pen like a god.
"Order Li Mao, with all the Fourth Brigade, go west to Suide, beat the banner of Zhao Sheng, the rebel army, and don't leak the horse's feet, if the official army wins, the whole army will also move westward, and go straight to the main position of the official army, even if the Fourth Brigade is exhausted, it is necessary to buy time for the main force to arrive!"
"Let the existing elite of the cavalry brigade be trained to march westward under the starry night, and be assigned to strengthen the command of the fourth brigade! The 31st Battalion of the 1st Brigade immediately moved south to fill the defense area of the 4th Brigade, the 5th Battalion, the 15th Battalion and the 35th Battalion of the Tan Wusuo Division of the 5th Brigade immediately moved westward, and the Guards Brigade marched westward except for the 3rd Battalion to defend Chunxian. β
"Zheng Renbao's subordinates immediately dispatched a battalion head to the south to Wutai, and the original Wutai Teaching Brigade went south to Dingxiang, and ordered Zhao Mosheng's department to immediately transfer an elite battalion to the west, and the armies set off one after another, and supplemented the grain and grass with new warehouses along the way, and the whole army struck a blow here, hoping that the three armies would take their lives and everyone would move forward!"
