The first battle of Caojiadu disrupted the plan of the Blue Wolf Army along the Xiangjiang River and attacked Tanzhou in the north, which was the first major victory achieved by the new army of the Jingjie Battalion since it went out to fight, so Gong Changyu's name spread all over the north and south of the river.

In the battle of Caojiadu, because the general soldier Tuchun did not arrive in time, Shi Xianda's tens of thousands of people were able to successfully break through and enter Yingyang.

Although he won a small victory, Gong Changyu did not breathe a sigh of relief, he told his subordinates that Shi Xianda's blue wolf army had not been completely wiped out, and our mission was far from being completed, and we could not go home to reunite with our relatives. Although 10,000 were unwilling, these 1,000 soldiers (more than 200 killed) still had to obey Gong Changyu's command.

A few days later, the second rank of the Qing Army, Ulagai, sent people to send a combat order, asking all the soldiers of the Jingjie Battalion to go north to rescue Yingyangfu.

After several days of pursuit, the Jingjie battalion finally settled down in Jianghua Town, Yingyang Mansion, at this time, it was less than twenty miles away from Shi Xianda's palace rear troops, and the main force of the Blue Wolf Army had arrived outside the city of Yingyang Mansion.

Since ancient times, Yingyang Mansion has been the transportation fortress of the Central Plains to southern Guangdong, western Guangdong, Qiongzhou and southwest China, and is known as the "thoroughfare of Nanshan". Away from the rush of land and water, when Chu and Yue want to be, remote control of the hundred barbarians, across the five mountains, Mei Geng Mian lies in front of it, Hengyue Town is in the back, the northeast of the town can enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, control the throat of the southwest and the western border of Guangdong, according to the southeast to hold the passage of the coastal area of Nanyue, so it is the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight.

Yingyang Mansion is the only area bordering the two Guangdong provinces in Jingnan County, only more than 500 kilometers from Lingling to Panyu, and only more than 400 kilometers away from Panyu in the six southern counties. Because of the special geographical location, the people of Yingyang Mansion, which has a martial tradition, are fierce.

The situation was unstable, and the local Red Wolf Society took advantage of the situation to absorb bandits and robbers into the association, and its membership quickly grew to more than 10,000 people, which was for the Red Wolf Army. Ouyang Jingfeng, the head of the meeting, was overjoyed when he learned that Shi Xianda's wolf army in western Guangdong had arrived in Yingyang, and the two bandit forces had a tendency to merge.

A blue wolf army is not easy to deal with, and a red wolf club of Ouyang Jingfeng jumped out, Gong Changyu was very anxious after learning this information from Tanma's mouth, and he had to send a messenger again, asking the general soldier Tu Chun to lead the troops to ask for support, Tu Chun refused to send troops on the grounds that Jingjiang City in western Guangdong County was also attacked.

At the same time, an even worse news came, the thousands of defenders in Yingyang Mansion surrendered without a fight when Shi Xianda's army was overwhelmed, and the regular army of the Qinghe Imperial Court had not arrived for a long time, how could this battle be fought?

Yingyang Mansion is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the landform is complex, the rivers and streams are criss-crossed, and the mountain basins are interspersed. The Red Wolf Army is hidden in the mountains and forests, coming and going without a trace, and it is difficult to pursue and suppress, the only thing Gong Changyu can do is to wait for the opportunity to strengthen the defense of the camp.

After waiting for three days, Ulan Gai, the capital of the Qing and military forces, finally arrived outside Yingyang City with 5,000 men and horses. Ulan Gai had heard of Gong Changyu's fame, and he handed over the main task of attacking the city to Gong Changyu, and he himself sat in the army, and he wanted to test the ability of these mud-legged troops to fight tough battles.

Shi Xianda saw that Ulan Gai led the army to the city, and the number was less than half of his own, presumably at the end of the crossbow, so he disdained it, thinking that the best defense was to take the initiative to attack.

After the artillery of the two sides bombarded each other for half an hour, Shi Xianda ordered his subordinates to rush out of the city and attack Gong Changyu's troops.

Gong Chang met Lai and launched a frontal charge, and he was not flustered, he jumped on the mount with a gun, Liu Yuntian, Zhang Weijun, Liu Dawei, Gong Tianyuan, Zhu Rongsen, etc. followed closely behind, he shouted: "Brothers, follow me-"

Gong Changyu rushed to the front, took the lead, and killed the enemy. When the soldiers saw that the commander had let go, their morale suddenly increased greatly, and they brandished their swords one by one and pounced on the black-pressed enemy group.

The five guards came out of the combined marksmanship of "Zhujia Big Gun", rushed left and right, and fought more than 30 generals who cut their skins, and the two sides fought together. Where is the Blue Wolf Army the opponent of the five major guards, in less than thirty rounds, more than twenty people were killed.

Lai cut his skin and singled out Gong Changyu, the powerful Gong Changyu made a fatal move, and the armor-piercing gun was like a swimming dragon in his hand, killing Lai Cutting Skin and couldn't open his eyes, only kept blocking the grid, and had no power to fight back, his robe was bloodstained everywhere, but Gong Changyu was unscathed.

After half an hour of fighting, seeing that Lai was about to be cut off under the horse, suddenly a team of thieves came obliquely, led by Ouyang Jingfeng, hundreds of people besieged Gong Changyu and others.

Lai cut his skin and took advantage of the situation to escape, Mingjin collected his troops, retreated to the city, and closed his door. Ouyang Jingfeng saw that Lai had escaped from danger, and immediately whistled, and all the thieves fled to the mountains and forests, and soon disappeared into the vast mountains.

Gong Changyu didn't chase after him, and said to Liu Yuntian, Gong Tianyuan, and others: "The thieves are making trouble, and the success falls short, and it may become unrealistic for Yingyang to fight a quick battle." ”

Zhu Rongsen said: "Big brother, don't worry, my brother is here!" ”

Zhang Weijun said: "Shi Xianda has something to do with thieves, and he can't be taken lightly. ”

Gong Changyu said: "However, you should be strictly vigilant against thieves and robbers from today onwards. ”

Zhu Rongsen said: "Big brother divides his troops to wait with me, and Brother Tianyuan and I will immediately go after it——"

Gong Changyu said: "No! Once we divide our troops, Shi Xianda will definitely go out of the city again. "The soldiers on duty set up camp on the spot, and when the follow-up troops arrived, they besieged Yingyang.

In the first battle of Yingyang City, Shi Xianda's troops did not suffer much losses, and he had to rely on the powerful terrain to fight a protracted battle with the Qinghe army according to the danger. It was not easy to get out of the defeat of Caojiadu, and more than 20,000 people were expanded along the way, but Shi Xianda was still very confident and knocked out the mixed team of the Qinghe Central Army and the local army outside the city.

The next day, Prince Hai Dafu, the minister of the Qin Mission, led the 12 battalions of the Qinghe Army to Yingyang, and besieged the main force of the Blue Wolf Army in Yingyang City, and the battle was imminent.

A strategist was quite familiar with the art of war, and proposed to the general of the army, Guo Lebi: "The method of besieging the city is to only surround three sides, leaving a way for the enemy to retreat, so as not to jump over the wall and fight against the water." It should be surrounded on three sides, the net should be opened on one side, and when the thieves retreat from the city, our army will pursue them and annihilate them in the movement......"

Guo Lebi had read some ancient military books, and had the experience of defeating the rebels in Henan, the Western Regions, and Jingnan, and thought he knew the art of war, so he nodded his head again and again, and decided to follow the advice of the strategists.

Hearing that Guo Lebi actually listened to the bad idea of the lame strategist, Gong Changyu was very anxious, and asked the quartermaster Zhu Rongchu to write a letter to the chief soldier Guo Lebi, who knew him reasonably, and his tone was very respectful, hoping to impress Guo Lebi, but it didn't work. As a result, Gong Changyu's convening department will hold an emergency meeting.

Gong Changyu said: "Yingyang City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the situation is dangerous, and it is difficult for the army in the city to break through the natural barrier. The blue wolf army is gathered in one city, although the number of people is 780,000, it is possible to fight less than 20,000 people, and the strength of our army that can fight is several times that of the enemy, why should they have a way out? ”

"Shi Xianda has already managed to slip out from under our noses three times, and this time we must not let him escape again. We can use the method of locking and encircling to dig deep ditches on all sides and build high forts, so that the wolf army will be defeated with all its food. Zhu Rongsen said.

"But Mr. Guo didn't pay attention to our opinions at all, so what can I do?" Gong Changyu said.

"Only in the name of Udutong wrote to Golbi, pointing out that the lack of a corner in the siege division is a kind of unconfident deployment of troops. This ......kind of deployment is used in order to avoid unnecessary casualties on the part of the encircled army, and the encircled army is not sure of annihilating the enemy or forcing the encircled enemy to surrender," Zhu Rongsen said.

"Now the strength of the regular army of the imperial court is three times that of the blue wolf army, and the surrounding reinforcements are on the way, if the blue wolf army is not surrounded and annihilated at this time, when will it be? Leave a gap for them to escape into the mountains, how can they be destroyed? "Gong Chang got up when he was filmed.

"Big brother, don't be impatient. Brother Rong Chu can completely imitate Master Wu's handwriting, and now let him write a letter to Guo Zongbing. Zhu Rongsen said.

"Well, that's all there is to it." Gong Changyu nodded......

Gong Changyu and others didn't listen to this insightful opinion at all, and still went his own way, and handed over Gong Changyu's two letters to Prince Hai Dafu.

Hai Dafu thought that Gong Changyu was a reckless man, and disagreed, thinking that the cost of using the lock encirclement method was too great, so Hai Dafu favored the general soldier Guo Lebi and vetoed Gong Changyu's proposal on the spot, so the Qing and Qing army implemented the plan of encircling the division and missing corners.

When the news reached Gong Changyu, he was so angry that he pulled out the Lock Dragon Divine Sword, and slashed a flagpole with his sword: "Lord Hai has deployed troops like this, this is the return of the tiger to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles in the future." ”

"What is the point of the meat eaters? Big brother, let's talk less. Zhu Rongsen persuaded Gong Changyu, "Don't let us take the lead, you can go back and rest." ”

"I finally surrounded Shi Xianda, but I want to let them go, isn't this a convulsion?" Gong Changyu said, "By the way, I have to find an excuse to go home." ”

"Big brother, why don't you just call yourself sick and go back to your hometown to relax, and you can't see it." Zhu Rongchu said.

"Then aren't you going back?" Gong Changyu asked.

"I'm going back. In the evening you go to Udtutong and say that you are not feeling well. Zhu Rongchu smiled.

"Okay." Gong Changyu raised his hand and slapped his nose, and immediately a nosebleed flowed out, "Brother Rong Chu, my problem has been made again." ”

"Big brother, you don't need to use this method." Zhu Rongchu looked at Gong Changyu, frowned, thought about it, and shouted, "Oh no, the general has a nosebleed again." ”

So, a few pro-soldiers carried Gong Changyu, whose face was covered with blood, to the camp in Ulangai. Ulan Gai is not a fool, he can see at a glance that Gong Changyu is in a mood.

At that time, Gong Changyu was Ulan Gai's staff member and was very respected by Ulan Gai. Ulan Gai knew that Gong Changyu was between Guo Lebi and himself, and he was not a good man, so he agreed to Gong Changyu's request to take leave and return to his hometown.
