Chapter 239: No Overnight Hatred
Chen Yinti's guess was right, Li Guanqi had indeed led the cavalry to cross several lines of defense laid by Chen Guangxi, and captured Yongchuan City, the only way for the Shannan army to return to the army.
Almost all of Chen Guangxi's actions were expected by Li Guanqi, and the only thing he didn't expect was that the 2,000 soldiers he left behind as bait would be wiped out. He once told the general who led the army that he must not confront the main force of the Shannan Army, just let the other party know that there is a force in this army, bait, the key is a lure, it is more useful to be able to covet Chen Guangxi than to kill a few of his people.
However, the general who led the troops did not listen to Li Guanqi in the end, he thought that with the combat power of the Beijing camp, although there were only 2,000 people, he could defeat the Shannan army of tens of thousands of people, because the Shannan army had almost no combat power at all. He forgot that almost no combat power does not mean no combat power, especially Chen Yinti's cavalry troops, whose combat power cannot be underestimated.
After Li Guanqi heard the news, while blaming himself for using the wrong person, he secretly vowed to take revenge.
In fact, when Chen Guangxi learned that it was only Li Guanqi's cavalry guards who occupied Yongchuan City, and the number was only 5,000, he immediately made the decision to "recover" Yongchuan.
The commander of the Shannan Army who served as the commander of the "recovery of Yongchuan" was Chen Yinjie, and this time he brought 50,000 people, of which Chen Yinti personally led 5,000 cavalry. After the "great victory" just now, the fear of the combat effectiveness of the Shannan Army has dropped sharply, and some people even can't wait to fight the troops led by Li Guanqi himself.
At this time, the soldiers of the Great Cadre Army not only did not lose their morale, but on the contrary, their fighting spirit was high. These soldiers held their breath in their hearts, and they were determined to make the Shannan Army, which did not know the height of the sky, suffer a lot.
"The morale is high, and the morale of the army is usable." Xie Chen reported to Li Guanqi.
"These are not enough, if the people of Yongchuan City cannot be united with us, we will face the danger of being attacked from the belly." Li Guanqi calmly analyzed.
Xie Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Although the people of Yongchuan City are also His Majesty's people. But the Chen family has ruled for so many years, and it is difficult for the people to belong for a while! The minister thinks that it is good if they do not contain us in secret, so where can we expect them to be of the same heart as us? ”
"Not really!" Li Guanqi pondered for a while, and then said, "The Chen family was in Shannan for decades. I didn't do anything good for the people, I am a counterinsurgency, and the people know it, unless there are a few Chen family die-hards, the vast majority of them will choose neutrality. ”
He Ziming frowned again and again when he listened to it, and finally didn't hold back, and said, "Is Your Majesty going to have a decisive battle with the enemy army in this Yongchuan City?" ”
"There's no decisive battle!" Li Guanqi's eyes were fixed on the map, and he said without raising his head, "It's just that this battle is definitely going to be fought." The Shannan army has eaten 2,000 of us, and if we don't hurry up to fight a battle to boost morale, I'm afraid that the army's morale will be unstable! ”
"But we only have 5,000 men, so how easy is it to defend this city that is not dangerous?" He Ziming continued.
"I didn't say I wanted to defend the city!" Li Guanqi said with a smile.
"Don't defend the city?" At this time, even Xie Chen arrived and wondered, "Do you want to fight in the field?" ”
Li Guanqi nodded and said, "Yes! Now the morale of the enemy army is high, the sergeants of our army are desperate for battle, and the people in the city are at both ends of the end, if they start to defend the city at this time. I am afraid that the hearts of the army and the people will be scattered. ”
"Field-war?" Xie Chen closed his lips tightly and looked at the map for a long time. sighed and said: "From Chen Guangxi's main station to Yongchuan City, there is no steep terrain along the way, and there is almost no place where you can set up an ambush to raid the enemy. ”
"How many?" Li Guanqi sneered and said, "There are too many people." So we divided them and broke them down one by one. According to the scouts, the enemy's outpost was 5,000 cavalry, and as long as the distance between the cavalry and the main force in the rear was widened, 5,000 against 5,000. I guess my horsemen have a better chance of winning, right? ”
After a pause, Li Guanqi said with a smile: "It's true that there is no steep terrain on this road, but if it is said that it cannot be ambushed, it may not be!" It was because the enemy also knew the terrain in this area that they even less thought that we would ambush us! ”
"But how can we make the enemy's forward detachment from the main force and go deep alone?" Xie Chen said with a frown.
Li Guanqi smiled and said, "You forgot that I am the biggest bait?" As long as they learn that I am going to abandon the city and flee, they will definitely rush to intercept it, not to mention that they have just won the battle, and they are proud soldiers! ”

"Quick, quick!"
The generals of the cavalry of the Shannan Army kept urging their subordinates to hurry up their horses, and 20,000 horses' hooves kicked up high dust on the wide post road.
The cavalry of the Chen family was the only major force that the Jiannan Army could take, and it was this "great victory" that relied on them to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the Great Cadre Army. Therefore, including Chen Yinti, they are more or less fluttering.
After receiving the news from the secret agents in Yongchuan City - Li Guanqi saw that the situation was not good and wanted to abandon the city and escape, Chen Yinjie was anxious. Li Guanqi is in front of him, he is 50,000, he is 5,000, the chance of victory is definitely in himself, as long as he kills Li Guanqi, then Zhuge Qingqing will fall into his arms, how can he tolerate Li Guanqi to escape?
"Yinti, you hurry up and advance at full speed with the cavalry until you reach Yongchuan City, so that Li Guanqi will not have a chance to escape."
"Among them...... Will there be fraud? Although Chen Yinti was also anxious to make meritorious contributions, he still reminded carefully.
"It's okay, after you rush over, don't rush to attack the city, as long as you contain him, five thousand against five thousand, are you still afraid that he won't succeed?" Chen Yinjie said anxiously.
"Alright! Maybe I'm thinking too much. Although Chen Yinti is still a little uneasy in his heart, but think about it, this road is all flat terrain, as long as he does not attack the city, five thousand against five thousand in the field, he will not suffer a loss, even if the combat strength is not as good as the big cadre army, it should not be a problem to retreat with his whole body.
Chen Yinti led the light cavalry to gallop with all their might, and soon left the main force far away, and when they came to a village only ten miles away from Yongchuan, the Chinese army in the rear was already a day's journey away from them.
The road in front of me was no more than thirty or forty houses, and the post road did not pass through the middle of the village, and the fields on both sides were knee-high rapeseed.
The passage of the cavalry did not seem to alarm the villagers, Chen Yinti did not care about this, he was now extremely eager to hurry to the city of Yongchuan, to meet the legendary God of War Emperor, if he could fight with him, even if he was defeated, it would be an honor to think about it.
"Buzz ......" The sound of bees flapping their wings suddenly sounded, pulling Chen Yinti back from his contemplation, his face immediately turned white, of course he understood what this voice meant, and hurriedly shouted with all his strength, "Enemy attack!" Take cover! ”
But where to find cover in the open terrain? (To be continued......)
