Chapter 156: Decisive Yang Qu, a key battle
"Lord, the Yangqu wall is several feet high, and there are more elite soldiers to guard, although we have a few general cannons, but the bullets are scarce, I am afraid that there is no need for three days, and the range of the tiger squat cannon is too close, if you arrive close to fight, rashly attack the city, I am afraid of heavy casualties, and we need to think about it in the long run.

Outside the east gate of Yangqu, inside the big tent of Li Jing's Chinese army, all the leading generals of the soldiers and horses are all here, except for the division of Guo Sheng, the division of the North Road, the main forces of the rest of the departments have all entered Yangqu, only to break through the provincial capital, and from then on to cross Shanxi.
"Yes, my lord, the officers and soldiers continue to come to help, and the scouts reported that there is a team of officers and soldiers in the south of about one or two thousand, of which there are no less than five hundred cavalry, all of them are well-equipped, everyone wears armor, and they are rushing north at the moment, but it will be there in two days, it is better to put down and attack the city for the time being, and quickly destroy the officers and troops who come to help from all walks of life." At this moment, Zhao Mosheng spoke again and again.
A day ago, he had obeyed Li Jing's orders, and pressed the whole army with the main force to attack the south gate very urgently, and suddenly heard that a group of officers and soldiers behind him were attacking Ma Qi, and the remaining army array was called to break through in an instant, and four or five queues were dispersed.
This time, most of his troops and horses were scattered, thanks to the main forces from the east and west to help, which was the only way to besiege this officer and army, but unfortunately this soldier and horse, elite and extraordinary, was surrounded by 10,000 people, a few in and a few out, killed Li Jing's command was very embarrassed, and finally with artillery regardless of the enemy and me, a burst of fierce fire, which intercepted his troops to continue to sweep.
But even if it was surrounded, it also ordered the officers and soldiers to continue to rush towards the city tower, Li Jing had to order to get out of the way in order to prevent heavy casualties, and allowed this official army to enter the city, and after the count, he called out the pain, and the corpses dropped by each army were no less than seventy or eighty, and the casualties were three times that, and the officers and soldiers killed and wounded, at most, fifty people, this is seven or eight hundred people with 10,000 people.
Such a casualty figure really made Li Jing and the generals like a head-on blow, and they could no longer be optimistic, if all the officers and troops encountered in front of them were like this, then I am afraid that at the beginning of the army, it would be called extermination.
Tan Wu, who had just been educated by You Shilu's personal guards, suddenly became nervous when he heard the words at this moment, and hurriedly asked, "Another one or two thousand?" What flag?! ”
Zhao Mosheng said in a deep voice when he heard this, "According to the scouts who have mixed into the towns along the way, I heard that it is the elite of the three sides of Shaanxi, the Shenmu Ginseng General Ai Wannian, there are more than 1,500 people, and there are no less than 500 cavalry troops in front, and the end is the elite and extraordinary. ”
"The one who played the Youzi flag the previous time, could it be You Shiluhu, the chief soldier of Shanxi Town? The entire Shanxi Town, I'm afraid it's just his soldiers and horses are more elite," Li Jing was sitting behind the desk at the moment, and couldn't help but come out to cheer everyone up, "The military household soldiers who fought before lack training, and there is not much armor, so it is naturally easy, the elite of the army here, relatively speaking, is a few points elite, but the generals don't need to worry, what about the border army?" Hu Dawei is still lying in our prison at the moment. ”
Saying this, everyone always calmed down a little, but their hearts were kicked, after all, it was only the officials and soldiers who were disgraced, and their courage went a lot, Li Jing saw that they were all bowing their heads and were silent, and immediately shouted, "What are you afraid of, You Shilu uses ten thousand taels of silver to raise such an elite, how many can you have?" At most, there are only a thousand people, and now we are all besieged in Yangqu City, just break through the city, let us wait for slaughter, only go to this way of the official army, who else in Shanxi Town can stop us! ”
"It's just that the lord, the official army reinforcements are endless, and we can't concentrate our forces to attack the city, if they are all involved here, the officers and troops will go north by different routes, what can we do about it?!" Zheng Renbao's eyes are not limited to just staring at one point, you must know that the official army is in Datong, Xuanfu and Baode are close to Yansui Town, which has not yet been mobilized, if it is attacked from all sides, his own doppelganger lacks skills, and the main force is concentrated in Yangqu, and the rescue is too late.
"I plan to do it within ten days, if I can't capture Yangqu, I will pull out the division and return, rely on the counties to resist the advance of the official army, and annihilate the main force of the official army in the movement. Li Jing only said this, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Mosheng, now it depends on who can't survive first, besides, is it really the only means he has in his own family? !
"I sent you to send someone to contact the southern rogue, how is this going?"
"Back to the lord, although the manpower was sent out, but it was impossible to contact the main force of the thieves for a while, although I encountered a small group of thieves along the way, but such as Zijin Liang, Li Chuang Wang and others, I still haven't seen it, it still takes time to get results."
"At this moment, we must not delay, I and the rogue, now we are prosperous, fight against the official army together, if we can get in touch, ask the rogues to attack a few cities in the south, and drag the main force of the official army." At this moment, Li Jing knew that it had also reached the most critical moment, whether it was sweeping Shanxi Town or appeasing the matter, he had to make a decision immediately, once it was delayed, let the imperial court ease up, and start to go all out to suppress it, then it would be over.
In this way, he directly opened his mouth and ordered, "In order to prevent the official army from entering Yangqu again, move Li Fugui under the command of Zheng Renbao to lead the troops to the north gate to defend, and do not allow the officers and troops to break through, and use Zheng Renbao to lead the main force to monitor and attack at the west gate, take the main force of Tan Wu's department, and stand outside the east gate, and the rest Zhang Biao, Xu Fuchun, Gu Hui, and Gu Pu each lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, ranking in the south city, and pressing the formation with my personal guard infantry army, besieging Yangqu on all sides, day and night. ”
The above-mentioned generals who were named came out one after another, only Zhao Mosheng and Li Mao, at this moment, wondered, I am afraid that the task of besieging the official army reinforcements will have to be handed over to their own bodies, sure enough, after a while, Li Jing personally came down to order the generals, "I led the cavalry army of 500 with Liang Sijiu, and Zhao Mosheng, Li Mao's second department, and the starry night to welcome the reinforcements of the official army, be sure to annihilate the enemy, and then reflexively, take advantage of the situation to attack Yangqu." ”
After finishing speaking, he clenched his fists and roared loudly, "All the armies are fighting for their lives, and those who dare to retreat without an order will be killed!" ”
Those generals who had received military orders suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "Oh! ”
"The soldiers who come to the aid of the official army must be challenged by the south gate, I want to use your two soldiers and horses to meet the attacking place, and wait for the upright soldiers in formation, how?!" Li Jing deliberately selected these two most elite soldiers and horses in the army, just to try to completely defeat the official army in the decisive battle, otherwise he would always hide his head and show his tail, win with surprise soldiers, and rely on the will of God.
But the matter of the military formation, it is a matter of life, if one day is not good, there is no elite guard, I am afraid that the life of the family is not guaranteed, now there is some capital, how can you not hurry up to train an elite soldier out, even if the training time is not enough, then the battlefield is the best training ground, pull up to fight a few battles and survive, is the elite soldiers, stronger than anything else.
