Chapter 493: Fatalism (2)
The two armies before and after the Liukou have only gathered for five miles, and it should be said that everyone knows what is going on.
A moment later, the 50,000 army led by Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng began to set off, and half an hour later, Gao Yingxiang knew the news.
The moment he knew the news, Gao Yingxiang's body shook.
Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng still set off with the army and did not come to their side, besides, the time to launch the attack was arranged in Yinshi, not yet when it was ugly, could it be said that Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng's attack time was advanced.
It doesn't make sense.
Even if Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng had other arrangements, they should have reported the situation, but they set off so suddenly, without the slightest reason, without any reason, this is too abnormal.
Gao Yingxiang sensed danger.
The army is in the process of deployment, according to the predetermined plan, the time will be launched, that is to say, Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng's army must hold on to two hours, no matter how much sacrifice is paid, no matter how heavy the losses are suffered, the two dragged most of the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion, Gao Yingxiang led the remaining 50,000 sergeants to launch a general attack.
According to this arrangement, even if the Jiangning battalion is invincible in the world, it will have some losses, after all, they can't take care of it.
But Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng acted in advance.
Gao Yingxiang sat paralyzed in the tent, and all kinds of thoughts popped up in his mind.
At this time, Li Wanqing came in.
"Dashuai, I just got the news that Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng have started to act, this is a little wrong."
Gao Yingxiang waved his hand and motioned for Li Wanqing to continue.
"I was with the two of them just now, and they didn't talk about attacking early, at this time. Suddenly changed the decision, don't you know that this is a fatal thing, the marshal has already arranged it, the time for them to launch an attack should be Yinshi, this is the camp of the Jiangning battalion. There are fifteen miles of land, and it will take more than half an hour to arrive, I calculated the time, and they arrived at the camp where the Jiangning camp was stationed, which was at most three minutes of the ugly hour, besides, I talked to the two of them about the arrangement, and the two agreed to come to the side of the big handsome. ”
"Then tell me your predictions."
"I just don't think there's something right. I can't say what the situation is. ”
Gao Yingxiang suddenly felt powerless, and when he changed the deployment before, he was a little apprehensive in his heart.
"What I'm most worried about is that the two of them don't attack according to the arrangement, or they can fake a shot to preserve their own strength."
What Li Wanqing thought of was even more serious than this situation. It's just that he won't say it, and he doubts Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng out of thin air. He's not going to do it. When he was drinking with the two of them before, he vaguely understood some of the things he said.
"Dashuai, are we going to change the deployment, it's too late."
"You say how the deployment should be changed."
"I think. The army must be ready to retreat, if there is any accident between Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng, it may be difficult for us to resist the Jiangning battalion. ”
Gao Yingxiang stood up violently, he was not stupid.
"You make it clear why you have such thoughts. You and Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng were still together just now, did you find anything wrong. ”
"No, no, I just feel that it is difficult for Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng to achieve victory, besides, the march of the army will definitely have a lot of movement, maybe the Jiangning battalion has already known the news."
Gao Yingxiang's face had turned pale.
"What do you mean, saying that Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng are thinking about surrendering, so all our deployments have already been exposed, and at this time, if you don't want to retreat, there is a danger that the whole army will be wiped out......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The deafening sound of cannon rang out, and at this time, Gao Yingxiang's words were not finished.
Countless shells fell inside the camp, and soon there were neighing and screaming of horses, some tents were on fire, and some of the sergeants who were hit by the shells fell in pools of blood.
Gao Yingxiang, who rushed out of the tent, saw the panicked scene in front of him, and his body shook again.
Everything has been confirmed, Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng must have defected to the imperial court and exposed this sneak attack, and now the situation has changed, originally thinking of sneaking up on the Jiangning camp, but who expected that they would be attacked by the Jiangning camp.
Shells kept falling inside the camp.
Gao Yingxiang was horrified to find that these shells were different from the shells he had seen before, these shells would bloom, and when each shell landed, a large number of sergeants would fall around, some of them were silent at that time, some let out screams of pain, and some of their arms and thighs were blown apart.
Before he could prepare for a counterattack, the horror began to spread in the camp.
No one had ever seen such shells, dense shells, falling in all directions, the sound of explosions had already blinded everyone, and there were people scurrying all around.
The pro-soldiers had already gathered around Gao Yingxiang, and their responsibility was to protect Gao Yingxiang.
Maybe it was providence, the cannonballs did not fall around Gao Yingxiang, but the situation in front of him had already made Gao Yingxiang's eyes red, and the situation must be controlled, otherwise it will be a situation where the whole army will be annihilated.
Many officers had already rushed towards Gao Yingxiang's side, and some officers were hit by shells, and together with their horses, they fell down, and the surrounding sergeants could not rescue them at all.
None of this can be taken care of.
Gao Yingxiang shouted out with all his might.
"All the brothers must be calm, don't mess up, after the artillery fire, the Ming army is about to attack, at this time, don't mess up, everyone find a place to hide from the shells......"
The officers soon began to perform their duties.
But the sergeant's panic continued, they had never seen such artillery, and they felt that the end of the world was coming, and when each shell landed, many brothers fell, and these shells were completely different from before, even if they dodged, the shells seemed to have eyes, and almost all the people around them would be affected.
The officers who commanded the crowd to take shelter were also hit by shells and fell screaming.
The situation is still starting to get out of hand.
Li Wanqing, who had been by Gao Yingxiang's side, tried his best to speak.
"Marshal, quickly give the order to retreat, this sneak attack is still exposed, we may be surrounded by the Jiangning battalion......"
"Nonsense, retreating at this time, it's all messed up, everyone is running for their lives, if the Ming army launches an attack, it will be a massacre, is it such a simple truth, don't you know the way......"
"But the artillery fire of the Ming army is too powerful......"
"Hold on, the Ming army can't have so many shells, as long as this period passes, when the Ming army launches an attack, we will have to fight hard......"
Speaking of which, Gao Yingxiang and Li Wanqing thought of Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng together, it can be said that they have surrendered to the imperial court and completely leaked the whereabouts of the army, and this sneak attack was completely reversed.
By now, Gao Yingxiang can't curse Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng, and he must get through the difficulties in front of him.
Half an hour later, the shells finally began to run out.
The sergeants, under the command of the officers, slowly began to concentrate.
Although the casualties caused by the artillery were very large, they could not completely crush the team, but the panic caused by the shells had already formed an obvious effect.
"Kill, kill, kill......"
When the sound of horses' hooves sounded, Gao Yingxiang's heart began to sink.
The Ming army finally launched an attack, the timing was too good, at this time, the sergeant was frightened, completely lost his resistance, and could only break through, if he wanted to resist the attack of the Ming army, there was almost no possibility.
"Break out of each other."
Gao Yingxiang gave the order very painfully, and if he didn't make a decision, it would be too late.
Gao Yingxiang would not have thought that no matter whether he gave the order or not, the fate of destruction was in sight.
He Renlong charged at the front, his eyes were red, and he looked crazy, the former He madman came back at this time.
The brutal slaughter began.
In the face of the loss of fighting spirit, He Renlong will not be soft-hearted, he led the 5,000 soldiers, desperate to start fighting, it is said that there are tens of thousands of Liukou, only 5,000 people, do not dare to wade into danger, but the current situation, the Liukou seems to have become a bunch of lambs, constantly avoiding the fight, scattered and fleeing, there is no time to resist at all.
The cavalry led by Sun Chuanting then launched an attack.
When the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves sounded, Gao Yingxiang was already ready to break through, and under the escort of three thousand personal soldiers, he also had to flee for his life, otherwise he would have no chance.
This was a one-sided massacre, many rogues, before they had time to resist, they became ghosts under the knife, more rogues, quickly put down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and surrendered, however, because the battlefield was too chaotic, some of the rogues who surrendered, some were killed, and some were trampled by war horses.
Screams rang out one after another, and it had become hell.
Hong Chengchou's side, surrounded by a hundred personal soldiers, he also participated in the fight, but soon felt that there was not much meaning, the Liukou still lost the confidence to resist, and the morale was completely gone, at this time, not to mention that the opponent was 50,000 people, it was 500,000 people, and there was not much meaning.
He stopped fighting, looked at everything in front of him, and was very emotional, until now, Hong Chengchou still didn't understand, why the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were so brave, and the opponent of the Jiangning battalion was so weak.
Hong Chengchou's attention began to focus on Gao Yingxiang's body, and he focused on whether the scout battalion and the pro-soldier battalion led by Liu Tiehan would be able to capture Gao Yingxiang alive.
In the process of fighting, Gao Yingxiang's personal soldiers, the commander who guarded them, had already desperately rushed out of the city, and the soldiers paid huge casualties, but they finally broke out of the city.
Although Gao Yingxiang was reluctant, he also knew that if he didn't rush out at this time, there would be no chance in the future.
It was very dark all around, relying on a few torches, Gao Yingxiang, under the escort of his own soldiers, began to flee for his life. (To be continued......)
