Chapter 347 is powerless inside and outside
After the infantry of the Chinese army of the Qi army in Huizhou defeated the Fusang Ashigaru Army in front of him, Qi Xing, the king of Chu, immediately dispatched 6,000 infantry troops to the left flank to support the cavalry team of Zuo Batian in a bitter battle.
The task of pursuing the scattered Fuso Ashigaru Corps was mainly entrusted to the cavalry team that rushed to support from the right flank, and it was a very inefficient thing for the infantry to pursue the rout, not to mention wasting the physical strength of their own soldiers, and it was easy for the enemy to catch flaws and weak points and suffer heavy losses by the enemy after chasing them all the way.
Just when the battlefield outside the city was fully victorious, Dengfeng City suddenly made a loud drum, shouted and killed in unison, Dengfeng City opened the four gates, and 100,000 Qi troops in the city rushed out from the four gates at the same time.
The army of Fusang besieging the city is also in the formation of frequent flags, and the troops are nervously mobilizing to fight to the death with the Qi army of Dengfeng City, which has captured the road to Kaesong.
After receiving the support of the Qi army's infantry troops, the cavalry team on the left flank of Zuo Batian was able to escape, regroup under the leadership of their respective commanders, and then give full play to the mobility advantage of the cavalry, quickly move to the enemy's flank, and launch a fierce charge against the Fuso spear-footed samurai corps.
The 10,000 soldiers of the Fusang Spearfoot Samurai Legion on the left flank were firmly held back by the Qi Army Infantry who rushed to support, and they had no time to care about the attacks in other directions, and were fiercely charged by thousands of cavalry from behind.
The back charge of more than 3,000 cavalry of Zuo Batian cleanly killed nearly two thousand enemies at one time, and at the same time, the chain panic effect caused by the back charge of the cavalry team is continuing to ferment, and the large Qi infantry army in front of it has increased its attack in a timely manner, which has increased the pressure on the Fuso spearfoot samurai corps a lot, but this long-trained Fuso samurai corps is much stronger than the ashigaru corps that lacks training and equipment to resist pressure and fighting spirit. In the unfavorable situation of being attacked by the cavalry team on the back and attacked by the infantry of the Qi army at the same time, the spear-footed samurai army also gritted its teeth and held out for nearly a quarter of an hour.
With the collapse of the last army of spear-footed samurai. The Huizhou Qi army had successfully defeated the besieging enemy.
The Qi army rescued from Huizhou was majestic and morale was like a rainbow. Compared with the invincibility, the situation of the Qi army that rushed out of Dengfeng City was not good, I don't know if it was because it was trapped for too long, after the Qi army in Dengfeng City encountered the tough resistance of the Fusang siege army, the progress of the four armies was slow, and even the first line of defense could not be broken.
Qi Xing, the king of Chu, also saw the unfavorable battle situation encountered by the Qi army that attacked Dengfeng City, and he was anxious and wanted to lead the newly victorious rescue Qi army to support.
Li Bin disagreed with the decision of Qi Xing, the king of Chu, to go to aid.
"Your Highness, although our army is victorious. But after the bloody battle, the soldiers were tired, and if they immediately rushed to Dengfeng City to participate in the battle, they might not be able to immediately break through the outer defense line of the besieging Fusang army and successfully join the Qi army in Dengfeng City. Your Highness, you see, there are still some troops in the siege of Fusang that have not been put into battle, and besides, our army is sleepy and lacking in horses after a long battle, and we are really not sure that we can guarantee that we can defeat the Fusang army intercepted by Dengfengcheng, if our army is also in a bitter battle. Then the final outcome of the battle will be difficult to predict. Li Bin told Qi Xing about his worries about the battle situation.
After hearing this, Qi Xing, the king of Chu, also sighed with empathy, and asked a little helplessly: "Brother Li, I also know that this time I led the army to support, and the chances of winning are not great. However, if our army does not go to support the Qi army in Dengfeng City. I see that the besieged Qi army of Dengfeng City is very likely to be defeated by the besieging Fusang army, and will be taken advantage of by the Fusang army to attack Dengfeng City. If you don't save it, you will definitely fail, and if you save it, you may have a chance to win. Qi Xing, the king of Chu, also told Li Bin his judgment and analysis of the entire battle situation in his heart.
However, Li Bin's next words made Qi Xing, the king of Chu, immediately silent. His expression was suddenly gloomy and lonely.
"Your Highness, it seems to me. If our army is so hurriedly thrown into the battle of Dengfeng City, there will only be one way to defeat for the Qi army! Li Bin's tone was unquestionable.
"Your Highness. I also have a better way to support the Qi army of Dengfeng City, you give me the cavalry team of Zuo Batian, and I will go to behead the Fusang army besieging the city! Li Bin pointed to the camp of the Fusang siege army more than ten miles away and said.
"Brother Li, are you really sure to break through the defenses of the Fusang battalion?" Qi Xing, the king of Chu, was really surprised by Li Bin's bold proposal.
This can't be blamed on the king of Chu, Qi Xing, who was shocked and worried about Li Bin's proposal for a beheading operation, he has always marched and fought, and the defensive forces left behind in the Chinese army battalion are the strongest, and most of the people who stayed in the battalion are elite pro-troops led by the commander, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is naturally the strongest in the army. Li Bin took the initiative to ask Ying to attack the Fusang battalion, and took away the cavalry with the strongest combat effectiveness and impact in the rescue army, in case the attack was blocked and lost, Qi Xing would lose even the last chance to turn the tables and reverse the tide of the battle.
Qi Xing, the king of Chu, did not immediately express his position on Li Bin's proposal to behead, and was silent for a while before Qi Xing, the king of Chu, spoke: "Brother Li, your proposal to attack the Fusang camp is too bold, have you ever thought that if the attack is blocked or unfavorable, we will even lose the chance to turn the tables in the end." ”
Li Bin knew from the demeanor and words of Qi Xing, the king of Chu, that if he didn't make it clear today, it would be difficult for Qi Xing, the king of Chu, to agree with his decision to risk attacking the Fusang camp.
"Your Highness, let me ask you, when our army and the besieging Fusang legions fell into a stalemate just now, could there be a soldier in the Fusang camp to support?" Li Bin did not explain directly, but guided Qi Xing in the form of asking questions and self-realization.
"Nope." Qi Xing, the king of Chu, replied directly.
"Then when our army begins to counterattack and achieves a clear victory, can there be a soldier in the Fusang battalion to come to support?"
"Not really." Qi Xing, the king of Chu, didn't understand why Li Bin asked these simple questions that didn't matter.
"When our army has achieved a clear advantage and is about to crush the besieging Fusang army, can the Fusang battalion be supported by a single soldier?"
Qi Xing, the king of Chu, blurted out directly: "I haven't seen any reinforcements from the other party to the end." ”
"The Fusang army is obviously divided into two parts, one is the army that builds a defense line around Dengfeng City, and the other part is the army directly controlled by the Fusang battalion. The four Fuso regiments besieging our army are mobile forces that belong to the direct control of the Fuso battalion. As for the besieging army, I think it is not that the people who commanded the army in Fusang did not want to move, but they did not dare to transfer it at all. ”
"Oh, Brother Li, I understand when you say this, you mean that there are no soldiers in the Fusang camp, it's not that the general of Fusang doesn't want to save his dying army, but after considering it all, he decided to hold his troops for the time being, stabilize the overall situation first, and first look at the real combat strength of the Qi army in Dengfeng City before deciding on the next strategy." Qi Xing, the king of Chu, was also a person who understood everything at once, and soon understood the true meaning of what Li Bin wanted to say.
"When the commander of Fusang saw the weak attack strength of the Qi army in Dengfeng City, I am afraid that his intestines will regret it, right?" King Qi Xing of Chu thought about it and immediately added.
"That's it, if he can predict the prophet, the real combat strength of the Qi army in Dengfeng City is so unbearable, he will mobilize the besieging army to deal with us, and it is difficult to say whether we can win at that time." Li Bin replied with a smile. (To be continued.) )
