Chapter 104: The Three-Way Army

Chi Wenjun, the chief soldier of Datong, has just arrived in Datong to take office, he used to be the governor of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, how much ability he has, this is not very clear, at that time Xuanfu Datong underwent a great purge, continue to supplement the position of officials, Beijing City is qualified to go to Datong to be the chief soldier, there are not many, there are only a few candidates, the cabinet discussed it, and appointed Chi Wenjun.

This Chi Wenjun has a very good background, his ancestors are mostly officials, his grandfather was a soldier in his early years, he was also a martial artist, he was admitted to the martial arts, and he got to this position little by little. In order to be considered upright, but he has no experience in commanding wars, and he couldn't find any good candidates at the beginning, so he was arranged.

It stands to reason that Wu Sinan arranged Sima Qiaoyu, who has rich combat experience, to be the front, but Sima Qiaoyu rushed all the way from Xuanfu to Datong, and the saddle horse was bumpy, so he had to take a break, so he ordered Chi Wenjun to be the front.

After Chi Wenjun encountered the rogue, he was not afraid, and first ordered the soldiers to set up camp and prepare fortifications. But compared with Chi Wenjun, the rogues didn't care so much, relying on the large number of people, they directly killed Chi Wenjun's camp.

Seeing such a situation, Chi Wenjun was overjoyed, and he fought according to the camp, and he had no temper when he fought the rogue. Seeing that it was not early, the Liukou had no choice but to withdraw the troops, and when the Liukou retreated, Chi Wenjun came to the spirit and commanded the soldiers and horses to kill out of the camp.

The rogue thought that there were many of them, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to attack, and Chi Wenjun led the army to cover up the killing, and only killed this group of rabble was Baotou rats scurrying, embarrassed. The officers and troops chased out more than three miles in one go, but the rogues suffered heavy casualties and were unable to form an army.

But at the critical moment, a team of people was killed in the oblique stab. This army is Gao Yingxiang's men, and his sudden attack caught the officers and soldiers off guard. Moreover, Gao Yingxiang's soldiers and horses are much stronger than the combat effectiveness of other rogues, but they are a little worse than Chi Wenjun's Datong elite. If there is a battle in peacetime, the officers and soldiers are not afraid, but how can Gao Yingxiang's troops come suddenly, Chi Wenjun's troops have the heart to underestimate the enemy, and as soon as they get started, they know that the other party is more powerful than the previous rogue.

Gao Yingxiang's men and horses resisted the officers and soldiers, so that the rogues who fled in panic had a chance to breathe, Li Yangchun, Liu Guoneng, and Man Tianxing stabilized their minds, followed the command of the people, turned around and killed back.

At this time, Chi Wenjun thought that he had fallen for the trick of the rogue to lure the enemy, so he didn't dare to fight again, and hurriedly ordered a retreat. In the event of a war, the most taboo thing is to retreat from the battle, and the officers and soldiers did not lose much of their hand, but this retreat was good, but the position was chaotic, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the officers and soldiers fled, and the rogues were killed behind.

There are many rogues, and the consistent characteristic is that they win and do not defeat, as long as they can have the upper hand in battle, they are full of spirit, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become. Chi Wenjun led his troops to flee back to the camp, but if he wanted to defend the camp again, there was no chance.

Chi Wenjun saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to lead the army to continue to flee in defeat, and was chased out of more than five miles by the rogue, 30,000 horses, I don't know how many died, and there were only 1,000 people left with him.

ran out of seven or eight miles again, it was already dark, and seeing that the rogues did not chase after him, Chi Wenjun dared to stop and take a breath. After nearly a day of fighting, and having traveled so far, before dinner, the soldiers almost all lay down on the ground and could not get up again.

Did this battle fall for the trick of the rogue to lure the enemy?

The answer is no. The rogues had no idea of using a plan at all, and in the hearts of those people, with such superior troops, they could flatten the camp of the officers and soldiers. Eight leaders, seven of them were in favor of a strong attack, but Gao Yingxiang disagreed, but in the end, the minority obeyed the majority and stormed the official army camp.

Gao Yingxiang thought that a strong attack would never be cheap, but no one listened to him, so he had to lead his soldiers and horses to respond in the back. The matter was expected by him, the Liukou attacked the camp for a long time to no avail, and when he saw that it was getting late, when he collected his troops and withdrew, he was chased and killed by officers and soldiers. Fortunately, thanks to Gao Yingxiang, he answered halfway, fought in the ground, saved the lives of these people, and then defeated Chi Wenjun's soldiers and horses.

As mentioned earlier, Wujia Province led 5,000 men and horses to pursue Liukou from Qingyang, why did he not reach Shanxi for so long? This is mainly to make the grain and grass troublesome, the soldiers and horses move, how can it be done without grain and grass, Wujia Province only has two days of rations left in hand, and after chasing it out for a day, it feels wrong, so he can only return and wait for Yang Yishan.

After all, he is a soldier, and he can't rob the people like a rogue. It is obviously unrealistic to find the local government to replenish some military rations, he is a guest army, how can the local government supplement food and grass for him without receiving an order.

After returning to Qingyang Mansion and meeting with Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu, he waited in place for a few days, and finally looked forward to Yang Yishan. Lord Yang didn't have much grain and grass, but he was in a hurry to pursue the Liukou, and he couldn't manage much, on the one hand, he sent people to Chang'an to transport grain and grass, and on the other hand, he personally led the army to pursue along the road.

When they reached Huangling County, the Liukou had already entered Shanxi, and when they reached the junction of Shanxi and Shanxi, the Liukou had all reached Taiyuan. When Yang Yishan was worried that he could not pursue, the holy decree came, ordering him to lead the army to aid Taiyuan. After all, Lord Yang is only the governor of the three sides, Shanxi is not his jurisdiction, and he will lose his head if he crosses the border without a will.

Seeing the holy decree, Yang Yishan was overjoyed, and immediately let Cao Wenzhao and Wujia Province take the front and lead an army of 20,000 to Taiyuan. He personally led 30,000 horses and followed behind.

His troops, going to Linfen and going north to Taiyuan, were discovered by the Liukou when the front troops came to Qi County. Knowing that the soldiers and horses from Shaanxi came to reinforce him, Wang Ziyong held an emergency military meeting to study the need to send troops to resist.

It's still the old rule, after drawing lots, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, the Great Heavenly King Gao Jian, Ya Lihua, Yatouzi, Black Evil God, Cao Cao Luo Rucai and other seven battalions of people went to resist.

These seven brothers, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, don't need to be introduced, just talk about Luo Rucai. This guy's nickname is Cao Cao, that person is really in response to this nickname, cunning and capricious, when Hong Chengchou beat the Shaanxi Liukou to the head of the rat, he led his troops to surrender Hong Chengchou, with the order of "being appeased", recuperating. Later, when he heard that Wang Ziyong was in Qinshui, he immediately rebelled and led his men and horses to Shanxi to join Wang Ziyong.

In this draw, three of the seven brothers selected were hard stubble, with a total of more than 90,000 people.

As soon as this man was sent out, news came from the west that Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yansui, led the men and horses to kill.

How did Chen Qiyu come so quickly, mainly because of the superior geographical location. Chen Qiyu's soldiers and horses, most of them are concentrated in Yulin, which is one of the nine important towns, Yulin is only 400 miles away from Taiyuan, Chen Qiyu almost received the holy order, and led 40,000 horses to come.

I heard that Chen Qiyu also led the army to kill, Wang Ziyong Keliukou was a little stunned, now it is the south, north, and west of the enemy, and there is Taiyuan in the center, which makes the official army should be combined with the outside, so it must not be stewed by a spoonful.

But now it is obviously impossible to escape, because Gao Yingxiang, Liu Guoneng and others are fighting in the north; Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had already gone to the south to meet the enemy, and if the large army in the center ran away, wouldn't it be too unrighteous to talk about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes. As the leader of the alliance, he can't be either.

Therefore, Wang Ziyong held an emergency meeting here to study the combat strategy to resist Chen Qiyu, or after drawing lots, it was finally decided that the seven battalions of people and horses such as Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Li Jin Wang, Zhang Cunmeng, Ge Li Yan He Yilong, Zhang Miaoshou, Bai Jiu'er, and Ba King Kong would deal with Chen Qiyu.

The number of people in these seven battalions is really quite a lot, and there can be a total of 1120,000.

The rogues under the city frequently transferred troops to leave, and the city naturally saw it clearly, and Wu Rumeng immediately concluded that it must be reinforcements from the imperial court. The holy decree said that Yang Yishan, the governor of the three sides, Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yansui, and Wu Sinan, the governor of Xuanda, marched to help in three ways.

Wu Rumeng was overjoyed in his heart, in this way, the pressure on Taiyuan City was reduced, not to mention, the encirclement and annihilation of the Liukou was just around the corner. He found the Taiyuan general army and discussed the next battle plan, hoping to cooperate with the reinforcements outside the city and deal a heavy blow to the Liukou.

The general army of Taiyuan seemed very helpless, there were so few soldiers and horses in the city, and there were nearly 200,000 rogues besieging the city, how could we help anything.

Wu Rumeng didn't think so, and said at the moment: "Although there are many rogues, most of them are poor people, and the old, weak, women and children are also among them, what combat power can they have." Besides, if they can coerce the people and come to attack the city, can't we lead the people out of the city to defend against the enemy? Anyway, it's all the people, what's so scary? In this way, I put up an example and recruited people to come and help in the war. But whoever comes, each will be rewarded with two taels of silver. ”

"Lord Wu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, if the city is not evenly guarded, there will be a fine work sent by the rogues, once they are mixed into the army, it will affect the overall situation." Taiyuan General said.

"Don't worry, even if there are people who sneak into the city, how many can there be, under the general trend, they still have to follow us, how many people can you revolt willingly, isn't it because there is no food to eat, so they take risks. Moreover, we don't recruit too much, one or two thousand is enough, our Shanxi has been rogue and has lost a lot of people, so we should add it. Otherwise, I think it's all recruitment, whether it's the people in the city or the people who fled in from the outside, there are many people who can't eat, let Ding Zhuang join the army, so as not to take the wrong path. In this way, not even the two taels of silver were saved. Wu Sinan said with a smile.

"Lord Wu's idea is really high, most of the rogues have not been trained, and it doesn't matter if the recruits are not trained, the number of them is about the same, and they can be deterred. Liukou came from Qinshui, along the way, broke through the prefecture capital county, Shanxi also lost a lot of people and horses, it is estimated that the Wu family will not lose less if they go to Shaanxi. Let's make up for it in advance, and the court won't say anything if it wants to. The Taiyuan general soldier echoed. Lord Wu is an official promoted by Lord Yue, and when the decisive battle is held, it should be nothing to add some people and horses, as long as he exterminates the rogue, it is still a great achievement, and he will have to follow a lot of light.

"Exactly."
