Chapter 153: Blocking before and after, besieging the group
"Report~~~"
At present, Tan Wuzheng led the second battalion and one capital, surrounded Xin County and attacked on all sides, constantly sending artillery to hit the city wall, and suddenly saw a horse galloping from the north with his own flag, and waited until the guard guard, turned over and dismounted, and discarded the blade on his body, and then walked towards his own house, "General Tan, the main official report urgently, about 3,000 officers and soldiers up and down, retreated from Dingxiang, and are approaching Xin County, only ten miles away. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What?" Up and down Xin County, but hundreds of temporarily conscripted soldiers guarded, their own artillery fired, each faction of dead soldiers to attack the city, seeing that the city was about to be breached, suddenly heard that the official army was about to arrive, and immediately became anxious, "Where is the lord's army?" ”
I can't help Tan Wu not believe it, but the military aircraft is a major event, how important, one is not good, it is a matter of human life, he is holding the fourth battalion and the personal guard with a serious shortage of headquarters at the moment, and the Yuanping garrison battalion with Xu Fuchun is only 17,800 people, and it is okay to barely capture Xin County, if it is a reflexive decisive battle with the official army, I am afraid it will not be an opponent.
"The army is going south through Xinkou, and the lord has led the forward cavalry team to pass ten miles, which is only five or six miles away, and the general is strictly ordered to monitor Xin County with a small number of men and horses, and the main force is transferred east to work with the lord to intercept the officers and soldiers, and those who violate military law are engaged!" The scout said it all in one breath, but his face was swollen and red, and he couldn't stop wiping the sweat that had flowed violently from running.
"Please report to the lord, the east of Xin County is open, which can be used as a place for a decisive battle, and the place where our department is hoarding, covered by artillery, can be guaranteed to be foolproof." Tan Wu thought for a while, then rushed down to the first guard and roared, "Wang Liu, immediately send an order to go down, suspend the siege of the city, tell all our brothers to retreat, and let Captain Liang and General Xu come to discuss important matters." ”
"Yes!" When the guard heard this, he only glanced at this side, and immediately rode to the south gate to report.
After a while, I saw the siege of the four gates, shouting the sound of killing outside the city of Xinxian County, suddenly quieted down, the soldiers who had already attacked the city wall, was about to climb the city, suddenly heard the sound of the bell, and suddenly retreated like a tide, only the almost desperate officers and soldiers at the head of the city, to wake up, have jumped to look into the distance, want to see if their own reinforcements have arrived, but unfortunately only called the cannon to hit the embarrassment, no longer dare to show their heads.
Not long after, Xu Fugui, the leading staff general of the Yuanping Garrison Battalion, arrived, and as soon as they met, he couldn't help but complain, "General Tan, what's the matter, our troops are under the cover of artillery, preparing to break the city in one fell swoop, why did Lingjin withdraw his troops?!" ”
It was really incomprehensible to him, it took a lot of effort, the cannon alone fired no less than fifty rounds, and the officers and soldiers at the head of the city couldn't raise their heads, so they just took advantage of the situation to go to the city, with the combat power of such military households, once they boarded the city wall, the battle was over, and they were really unwilling to retreat like this.
Tan Wu explained with a smile, while anxiously waiting for Liang Sijiu's arrival, "General Xu, don't worry, there is an order from the lord's personal guard, the main force of 3,000 officers and soldiers is coming to our side, and they must enter Xin County. ”
"Oh? Three thousand? So what do we do? When Xu Fugui heard this, he was immediately anxious, his own headquarters was six hundred people, and he had attacked the city just now, and he lost more than a dozen, and now when he heard that there were so many officers and soldiers, he was uneasy, and hurriedly looked at Tan Wu, and wanted him to find a way to come out.
It's just that after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Liang Sijiu arrive, Tan Wu could only arrange a task for Xu Fugui first, "Don't be anxious for the time being, the lord has passed ten miles, and he will arrive soon, but for a while, Xin County can't take it, I will take all the artillery pieces outside the southeast, with your department as the left wing, while monitoring Xin County, not asking them to go out of the city to converge, and protecting the artillery array, not asking the officers and soldiers to rush into battle." ”
"If there is a cavalry under the command of Captain Liang, it will be able to keep the artillery array safe." Xu Fugui didn't think much about it, if Liang Sijiu's hundreds of cavalry could join the battlefield and help one or two, his own soldiers and horses, although they were not elite, but they were supported by artillery in defensive operations, and they could fight one or two battles.
Tan Wu nodded and said, "I use all departments to hoard flat land, each army array, under the cover of artillery arrays to intercept the officers and troops, and use Captain Liang's personal barracks to respond to prevent the officers and troops from converging, what do you think?" ”
Xu Fugui thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "The officers and soldiers in the city are all called to break their courage, I only sent fifty people to monitor the immediate situation, and to guard the artillery array with two hundred men and horses in one capital, and there are Captain Liang's elite troops to respond, and I am not afraid that the officers and soldiers will come to attack. ”
"That's great!" When Tan Wuzheng was worried that his family was only seven or eight hundred men and horses, which was not enough to resist the advance of the official army, he heard that he had assigned two hundred soldiers and horses to his family, so he immediately nodded his head and praised him, and hurriedly ordered him to go down and prepare.
"Why hasn't Liang Sijiu been there yet? You go and urge again! When he turned around, he yelled at a personal guard, and his heart was restless, how could he say that a personal guard captain, above the battle array, could not find anyone, delayed things, how to get it.
"General! Captain Liang sent someone to tell him that he had listened to the order of the main army, moved his troops to the east, joined up with the main army, and challenged the front of the official army together. "Not long after, the previous sent soldiers Wang Liu's horse returns, it turned out that Li Jing personally led the main cavalry of more than 200 people, all the way to the south, just waiting for an hour of rest, the horsepower recovered some, and then the army went south to prepare to meet Tan Wu, suddenly encountered the front of the official army to open the way to raise troops, a battle, cut the enemy more than a dozen people, the official army suddenly scattered, and now is a confrontation.
But I was afraid that there were few people and could not hold it for a long time, so I sent someone to call Liang Sijiu, and transferred 100 cavalry to participate in the battle, and attacked the main force of the official army together, just to take the opportunity to monitor the fatigue, and not to let the official army approach the county seat of Xinxian County, which is also afraid that once the main force of the official army enters the city, it will attack again when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be heavy casualties, and it will be difficult to break through for a while, if the Taiyuan direction comes to reinforce the army, then the victory or defeat is unknown.
So at this moment, the battle situation changed abruptly, and all the elites were transferred east to intercept the official army, Tan Wu was overjoyed when he heard it, and the main princess had arrived, and there was nothing to worry about in Xin County at the moment, so he directly monitored Xin County with Xu Fugui, and led the main force of the fourth battalion to leave his baggage behind, and ran all the way to the east, praying to catch up with the cavalry that had already set off......
With the sudden appearance of Li Jing's cavalry, completely disrupted the retreat plan of the official army, due to the limitation of common sense, the official army could not figure out the number of men and horses in front of the interception, it is said that more than 200 cavalry, the infantry army following behind, at least ten times this, and Li Jing's personal guards were carefully selected, each of them was powerful, well-equipped, and immediately frightened the officers and troops, and did not dare to fight for a while.
After such a crucial delay, when Zhao Mosheng's troops arrived, a roughly formed encirclement was established, and Li Jing's remaining soldiers and horses and the fourth battalion arrived, and the troops had already occupied an absolute advantage, with more than 500 cavalry before and after, the first and fourth battalions of the infantry army and the main force of the personal guard battalion, with five units, the Dingxiang garrison battalion and 7,800 people, and more than 2,000 officers and soldiers and the army auxiliary regiment besieged......
