Chapter Ninety-Three
When Bai Liyi and Yang Tingshi learned the general situation from Xu Shouren, the two were shocked.
The lone army of the Bailikang Department went deep into the rebels' sphere of influence, and the real Ming army was only 3,000 people, how could this not shock the two.
You must know that since the Ming Kingdom lost Liu Renzhen in Luanhe, and Bian Hao was seriously injured and disabled, Baili Wuji has issued a strict order prohibiting the commander of the army from commanding too far forward, in case there will be another accident.
This is why even Bailiyi used to find a suitable excuse to dare to lead the pioneer.
And Bai Likang actually led his troops deep into the tiger's den, you must know that if there is a mistake, Ming Guo will lose a famous general, a handsome talent from the second grade.
The most important thing is that this kind of loss is something that Baili Wuji is never willing to accept, because in addition to his military position, Bailikang is one of his few brothers, and now that the great cause has been accomplished, how can he lose a senior general in such a small war?
Baili Yi showed an indignant look, and he fiercely accused Baili Kang of acting without authorization.
His accusation attracted Xu Shouren's approval, but Yang Tingshi smiled silently, he knew that no matter in terms of seniority or military position, he was not qualified to express his thoughts in front of these two Ming Lords, he could only smile.
Xu Shouren knew the intention of Baili Yi's accusation, and when he discussed the plan to attack Dali in Baili Wuji's imperial study, everyone had already made it clear, that is, the last battle of the Ming Kingdom was indispensable to their brothers.
Not only Xu Shouren, but even Bai Liyi, who was still scolding, understood what Bai Likang was thinking in his heart.
Any general who has led soldiers for more than ten years will be disarmed and returned to the field after this battle. Who wouldn't strive for the last glimmer of glory in this life?
Half of Bailiyi's accusation was true, and he accused Bailikang in his heart why he wanted to eat alone and why he didn't wait for him.
In fact, Bailiyi is not worried that Bailikang is in danger. Only a general who has led his troops in a vicious battle can understand that the real master will not die so easily.
Because there are too many people around the main general who have died for him, he really doesn't want to die so much, besides, the enemy has not yet mastered firearms, and in the era of cold weapons, he wants to take the life of the main general from the three thousand Ming army. How easy is it to say?
In Bailiyi's view, the only danger is that the lone army of Bailikang is going deep into the enemy's nest, which causes difficulties in the supply of food and ordnance. This will reduce the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and even lose its combat effectiveness due to the lack of ordnance.
The supply of firearms is the biggest problem, unlike cold weapons, they only need to carry a head on two shoulders. Wherever you go, where you can be restocked. A single qiē can be solved on the spot, but the current Ming army is obviously unable to do this, and they need perfect supply channels in order to exert their due combat effectiveness.
Baili Kangzhi dared to go so deep so arrogantly, because he knew that with Xu Shouren behind him, he didn't have to think about his supply problem; Because he knows that the main general who came with his troops this time. They are all his brothers, brothers who can live and die together.
They would never see him fall into the nest of enemies. Therefore, Bailikang went very relieved.
Xu Shouren knew that Bailikang's idea was ridiculous, but he still resisted this battle after all, and offered the favor of heaven, and there was no danger, so Xu Shouren knew what Bailiyi wanted to do with scolding, and he didn't say anything, and expressed his approval.
As a result, Baili Yi temporarily handed over the command of the follow-up new army to Xu Shouren, and he himself led 3,000 new troops and Yang Tingshi's troops across the Lancang River to continue to Tengchong Mansion.
Xu Shouren sighed lightly, among these brothers, he will always be just a person who wipes their butts.
Xu Shouren drafted a recital overnight, told the court about the current situation, and asked the court for the five hundred young men in Dali City to be compensated, rewarded, and posthumously sealed.
At the same time, Xu Shouren wrote another secret letter, reporting to Baili Wuji that Baili Kang's lone army went deep and Baili Yi went west with Yang Ting's troops to reinforce three days later.
Xu Shouren knows that this matter cannot be concealed from Da Lang, if it is concealed, it is a betrayal, as the shadow of Da Lang, even if Xu Shouren knows that Baili Wuji will be angry, but he must not hide it, if he hides it, the consequences will be stricter.
What Xu Shouren can do is to try his best to excuse the two of them between words.
But this time, Xu Shouren could guess that Baili Wuji would not blame, because, this is the last battle of the Ming Kingdom, after the end of the war, except for himself, everyone else will say goodbye to the new army, even if Baili Wuji arranges the corresponding position in the Royal Forest Army for them, it is just a place to eat leisurely, if the Ming Kingdom wants to let the Royal Forest Army participate in the war, it is estimated that their generation will not see such a situation.
Bailikang is just as Xu Shouren expected, he is not worried about his back road at all, in Bailikang's opinion, as long as Xu Shouren holds on for three days, Bailiyi or Sun Shixu will come as scheduled, only in advance, and will never be delayed.
It is a kind of trust in brothers, and only this trust can bring unexpected miracles to the situation on the battlefield.
But Bailikang couldn't predict that Tengchong City would be so strong after several years of operation by Gao Fang.
If Baili Wuji has built a small Sifang fortified city project in Laizhou, then compared with Tengchong City, it can be said to be a small thing.
Gao Fang built urn cities outside the four city gates, and all the city walls were built three zhang high and one zhang wide, even if they were running horses on them, they were quite spacious.
The castle tower is one zhang higher than the city wall, and there are battlements every five feet on the city wall to facilitate archery.
And the tower on the city gate, catapults, bed crossbows, rolling stones and wood, etc. are all available.
Such a city makes Baili Kang look up to the sky and smile bitterly, with his own 3,000 Ming army and less than 8,000 Duan army, it is more difficult to gnaw this bone than to ascend to the sky.
Although Bailikang is wise, he is not an immortal after all, this kind of battle cannot be fought, and he can't even use the usual tactics and temptations.
Tengchong Mansion, as a nest that has been operated by Gao Fang for many years, is it easy for him to say it?
What's more, the people stationed inside are either Gao Fang's descendants and relatives, or the old department for many years, so it can be said that Bailikang has hit the south wall.
Bailikang is cautious and thoughtful, in other words, Bailiyi, he may care about it, go up and fight first, and then say, if he can't fight, he will withdraw.
But Bailikang is different, he doesn't like to be brutal.
Bai Likang ordered the entire Duan army to camp and wait three miles outside the east gate of Tengchong City.
This order made the generals of the Duan army a little worried, the distance of three miles was indeed no equipment for the defenders of Tengchong City, but if the defenders in the city suddenly attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The defenders are waiting for work, and they are fighting locally, even if they don't attack from under the noses of the Duan army, they can always take a detour from the north and south gates. (To be continued......)
