Forty-eight successes and failures

"The big picture is decided"

On the rear battlefield, the main position of the Ming Army was full of joy and thunder. To read the latest chapters, please lock in the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info{} a small county town, and there can be no measures such as sub-walls and urn cities in it. As soon as the gate fell, the road into the city was already open. The brigade rushed in, and the battle was over.

-- Many people thought so, and even the cavalry of the Liaodong Army, which had not moved since the start of the battle and was only responsible for suppressing the formation, began to be eager to try, and it seemed that they also wanted to rush into the city in one go. It's just that now the city gates are crowded with people, and they don't have much chance to go over.

"Finally poured in......"

On the hillside, Liao Yong put down the monocular in his hand, which was only a little behind, and looked at Xie Xi a little proudly. Xie Xi didn't seem to intend to admit defeat, he still looked into the city with a telescope, and when he saw Liao Yong's smug expression, he just smiled:

"If you go in, you may not be able to stand still, so it's hard to say."

Liao Yong snorted, and was a little disappreciative in his heart - siege battle, as long as the city gate is broken, and the follow-up soldiers and horses are poured into it, then the victory is nine out of ten - after the door is broken, the morale of the attacking side will inevitably rise, and the defender will inevitably decline, and the morale of both sides alone is enough to determine the outcome of a battle.

The shouts of killing in the city grew louder and louder, and it was the rebels in their death throes. Every siege is like this, there are always some people who don't know the intention of life and death to resist. But it doesn't matter, after the last group of people who insist on refusing to surrender are all killed, the rest will naturally be aware of current affairs. Defending the city, the defending side is nothing more than relying on the geographical advantage, once the city gate is broken, there is no geographical advantage, so what else to fight.

- Liao Yong was very sure of this, and when he saw that the short-haired gang was still holding on, he didn't say much, just smiled, put down the clairvoyant mirror, and waited for the news of the surrender in the city. And the situation on the position of the Ming army over there was similar, Zhu Dadian and other civilian officials began to straighten out their robes and prepare to enter the city to occupy it.

It's just that they waited for a long time and didn't wait for the news they wanted - the number of officers and soldiers who rushed in from the city gate was already quite large, and the shouts of killing in the city became louder and louder...... It's nice to say, but it's not implemented.

After a while, the shouting of killing gradually moved towards the city gate...... What's going on? The faces of the Ming generals in the rear, who were originally full of confidence, changed, and several fierce generals of the Liaodong Army circled around their horses, and were about to step forward to ask for help, but they were stopped by their commander Wu Xiang quietly waving his hand - including Wu Sangui.

-- Grabbing credit is a high-level knowledge, and it is not good to find that it is a hot potato in your hand. Although Xiao Wu is young and heroic, the heat in this regard is worse than his father. Wu Xiang's judgment was indeed correct, and after another moment, he saw that there was chaos at the city gate, and countless officers and soldiers were running out of it in a hurry--they were driven out by the rebels again

Now the Ming army is dumbfounded, how can there be such a thing? Gao Qiqian immediately shouted and shouted to call people to press up, but Daming's troops have always been okay with the wind, and it is really difficult to expect them to turn the tide and go upstream. And most of the infantry was sent out just now, and at this time, the cavalry of Liaodong Town was left at hand to count as the last reserve, and the people in the Guanning Army were all smart and clever, and Wu Sangui was not in a hurry to rush forward when he saw this posture.

Wu Xiang was even more unhurried, when a civilian official came to ask him if the Liaodong Army could attack, Wu Xiang immediately responded categorically: I, Liaozhen Erlang, will die for the imperial court to quell the rebellion, but then he seems to have inadvertently asked one more sentence - do the adults care that there is no one around them for the time being, or there are fewer people to protect them?

Subsequently, until the end of the whole battle, the cavalry of Liaodong Town were closely guarding the adults and never left half a step.

On the battlefield ahead, the officers and troops who did not receive support were of course defeated like a mountain, and the position of morale in cold weapons combat was really extremely important -- the Ming army, which had been marching forward bravely in the past, was now rushing back with its head in its arms, and tens of thousands of troops were actually driven back like ducks. If it weren't for the fact that the rebels were still afraid that the cavalry of the Liaodong Army was still there, and they didn't dare to leave the city too far, maybe they would be able to defeat the Ming army in this burst.

In the end, they simply burned and destroyed all the siege equipment under the walls with oil and powder barrels, and then returned to the city triumphantly. At this time, the sky was still bright, but the Ming army had lost its sharpness, and there was no equipment, even if Gao Qiqian and others were full of unwillingness, they could only order to retreat.

The second siege of the Ming army failed again.

Seeing that the Ming army in front of him was dejected and cleaned up the mess, Liao Yong on the hillside behind was also full of strangeness, the outcome of this siege battle was very different from his previous experience. This Ming army brocade clothes Qianhu couldn't help but look back at those short hairs, thinking to himself that those people were so calm before, could they know something in advance?

However, when he went to find Xie Xi to ask this question, the latter just smiled wryly and shook his head, spreading his hands:

"How we know is just a guess."

casually sent Liao Yong away, but Xie Xi quietly walked next to Ao Sayan and smiled at him:

"Your inference is really accurate, the Ming army really failed to defeat it."

- Seeing that the Ming army had made such adequate preparations and was so morale-giving, almost everyone felt that there was no problem in capturing the county town this time, and most of the people in the Qiong navy also thought the same, except for Ao Sayan, who felt that the Ming army's attack might not be so smooth.

He relied on the same reference book - in history, the Ming army defeated the rebels and besieged them in the city of Dengzhou, and at first attacked with all their might, and once attacked the city, but in the end they were driven out. After that, they could only besiege for a long time, until the rebels ran out of food and escaped by water, and then regained the city.

At present, the shape has changed, and the rebels are stationed in Huang County, but Ao Sayan feels that the strength of the two sides is not much different from history. Judging from the historical records, in addition to the Liaodong Army in the Ming army, the other soldiers and horses were not rebel opponents in the flat field battle, but the Liaozhen cavalry may not be willing to enter the city to fight. Therefore, even if the rebels lose the location of the city walls, they will not suffer a loss in street battles with their opponents in the city.

On the other hand, Huangxian is no longer an ordinary small county town - according to the information they received from the captives, the rebels drove almost all the residents of Huangxian to the front line as cannon fodder in order to compete with the Qiong Navy some time ago, and after the defeat, they fled back to the county seat to defend it. In order to save food and drive out the last remaining people in the city - there are almost no civilians in Huangxian County today, all of them are rebel troops and their families, and the whole Huangxian County can be said to have become a large military camp.

When the Ming army surrounded them, the rebel leaders sent people to camp the Chinese army and wanted to surrender again. But the evil consequences of the previous many fraudulent surrenders were manifested at this time - Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian did not hesitate to refuse their request for surrender. In this way, the rebels had no way to retreat but to fight to the death.

Considering the number of rebels - although a lot of them were defeated by the Joan navy, most of them were cannon fodder or even civilians, and the old battalion team of the leaders of the rebels never had the opportunity to rush up and really fight face to face, so except for the bad luck of being killed directly by flying shells, the core strength of this group of rebels was not really consumed. As long as they are still there, they can join at any time with a large number of miscellaneous soldiers......

After taking several factors into consideration, Ao Sayan sent a reminder to the entire command department before the battle, saying that the Ming army might not be able to handle it this time, and asked everyone to consider the various means that might be adopted and their countermeasures in case the Ming army could not attack the city. Xie Xi and the others were a little unimpressed at first, but at this time, they had to pay attention to it.

That night, Beiwei took people to find out the reason why the Ming army was driven out after entering the city, and when he came back, he just sneered:

"No wonder the Ming army looks down on the Sichuan army, they are really a bunch of ...... I don't even know how to describe it."

-- Fighting during the day, the troops that rushed into the city were led by the Sichuan military camp, which was smooth at first, but with the sharp spirit of breaking through the city gates, it was also unstoppable. However, when the rebels came up with the trick they had used last time against the Qiong navy - they threw a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and wool and other goods on the street, the Sichuan soldiers immediately dispersed and picked up their belongings all over the street.

The unproductive behavior of these guys soon affected other troops, and developed into a robbery of the county itself -- the Ming army made great efforts to break through the city gates, and as a result, the various Ming army units that rushed into the city did not go straight to the center of the county town, but scattered and scattered, and were busy searching people's houses and looting people's property.

Probably they all thought that they would definitely win this time, and they had their own follow-up troops to continue to capture the county seat, and it was not a big deal for them to take the opportunity to get a vote first...... The result of everyone's thinking was to give the rebels a chance to breathe, gather the backbone of a counterattack, not only drove out the thousands of Ming troops who rushed into the city, but also drove them to scatter the attacking troops on the periphery, thus completely changing the already settled situation of the battle.

When Ozhayan heard about this process, his mouth was open for most of the day and he didn't close it:

"That's really...... The inertia of history is really strong"

-- Historically, the Ming army's attack on Dengzhou City was also because the Sichuan army, which was the first to rush into the city, did not want to make progress and plundered people's property everywhere, and was counterattacked by the rebels, thus losing a great opportunity in vain. originally thought that Huangxian County had already been robbed of ten rooms and nine emptiness for a long time, and the Sichuan army should not be so shallow and would not even let go of the broken county seat, but he didn't expect the rebels to take the initiative to induce, and finally went to the old road of history again.

"Good at management but not good at fighting...... This is simply the legendary Osaka 4th Division."

Someone commented like this, which immediately caused everyone's laughter -

At the end of the month, with the support of comrades who have tickets.
