Chapter 344: The Second Game
"What, Yuan Zongdi was killed?" Liu Tiren looked at the left side in a daze, the thief army over there was routed like water, and he couldn't stop it at all
"Yes, he was killed with a musket by a dog officer of the officers and soldiers", Suo Yanlong, a subordinate general under Yuan Zongdi, cried, "Wu Zhiqi and Wang Jiayu were also killed...... "He said that these are several of Yuan Zongdi's generals, that is, a few short-lived ghosts who besieged Zheng Hong just now, were all extinguished by a fire. It's just that Liu Tiren still cares so much now, but he has to judge the situation under grief and indignation, "Withdraw the troops, withdraw to the other side of the Baihe River and strictly defend it, Suo Yanlong, you lead the troops to drag the left side, Liu Yingchang, you guard the right side, Tian Shouyi is in charge of the Chinese army, and the order is to withdraw the troops!" ”
In fact, there is no point in this order, the thieves have already scattered in a big rout, there is no need for him to order, the first rout is from the left flank, the Huaxia army was beaten by the Chinese army can not raise his head, plus the thief army leader Yuan Zongdi was killed here again, countless thieves have witnessed with their own eyes, the commander died in battle is equivalent to a big defeat, at this time do not escape when to wait......
The thief army withdrew, chasing and beating the water dog has always been a very happy thing and everyone loves to do, so the morale of the officers and soldiers is very high, especially Liu Guangzuo's department is simply crazy, tirelessly biting tightly in the back, Ma Gebi didn't chase me just now, and now let you taste the taste of being exploded!
"General, the thief soldiers have retreated", Weng Zhiqi, who had not participated in the battle from beginning to end and had been watching from the sidelines, finally showed a smiling face, originally kept a thousand elite soldiers to use as mobile support, but the thief army was defeated before it could be used, and when he heard his subordinates' words, he laughed, "Chase, kill me, and immediately kill to the other side to relieve the siege of Nanyang City!" As he spoke, he rode away, and the thousand cavalry at hand followed closely behind him!
"Regiment commander, the officers and soldiers have gone to chase the thieves, let's ......" the southwest side of the battlefield. The three hundred cavalry uncharacteristically reined in their horses, and a company commander looked at Zheng Hong with a look of solicitation!
"You're not tired, you're not tired!" Zheng Hong glanced at him and said angrily: "Hurry up and count the casualties", as he said, he jumped off the horse and walked to Yuan Zongdi's corpse and squatted down and muttered in a low voice: "I always feel that the guy is a big boss, what do you think?" The people around him couldn't help but nod: "Like!" ”
"Grab a few captives and ask", Zheng Hong smiled, "If it's a big fish, I'll make a big contribution this time, haha, it's a good start", he said and squeezed his eyes at Li Qingshan, who was walking slowly not far away, with a smug look on his face, Li Qingshan laughed. "Then congratulations to Brother Zheng on his promotion and fortune!"
"Haha, share the blessings, share the blessings", Zheng Hong clenched his fists and laughed, "What about the casualties?" ”
"Thirteen people were seriously injured, more than twenty were lightly injured, and there are no deaths for the time being, but a few of those thirteen may not survive", Li Qingshan said lightly: "It depends on whether the chief's medicine works!" ”
"Life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky! There is no immortal in war. Our equipment is already like this, is it possible to wrap our whole body in iron armor, can we still fight......" Zheng Hong looked up to the west while nagging, and the officers and soldiers over there had already chased the thief army to the bank of the White River. Far away, there is also a fierce battle under Nanyang City!
"Brothers, rest for ten minutes and get ready to fight again!" Zheng Hong said as he opened his backpack and took out a bottle of mineral water, drank it clean, and then waved his hand at Li Qingshan. "Sorry for the last bottle, it's not a point!"
"It's fine!" Li Qingshan smiled and unloaded his backpack. "I have three more bottles."
"Ah, yes, can you give me a bottle?" Zheng Hong was overjoyed
"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't even have enough to drink......" Li Qingshan waved his hand
On the north arrow tower of Nanyang City, the armor was sweating profusely like a tiger, and his mouth kept shouting loudly, "Arrow, arrow, east, east!" Pay attention to the defense of the east", said that an injured iron bow kept rubbing and firing, and a personal soldier next to him was busy handing it to him!
For the thief army to dispatch troops to attack the city suddenly after noon, the fierce tiger, together with the prefect and the Tang King Zhu Yujian, had already been mentally prepared, and he was also ready to die in battle, because there was no chance to escape, and it was even more impossible to surrender, so I had never heard that the thief army would leave the Zhu family's children behind after breaking the city! Since they're all dead, why don't you kill a few more!
In the three days that the thief army gave Nanyang City, the king of Tang paid money and grain to mobilize the people of the city, built city walls and fortifications, prepared all the equipment for defending the city, such as stones and wood, and of course, the necessary medicine for defending the city, Jin Tang, which is a mixture of feces and urine, yes, it is the formula, it is the taste!
History has slowly undergone a lot of changes because of the arrival of Lu Wang, for example, the original thieves attacked the city from the south gate, but now the main direction of attack has become the north gate, of course, there are some along the historical trajectory, such as the siege of the beginning of the thief soldiers did not attack with artillery, in the original history is also because of the fierce tiger and others slaughtered thousands of thieves, the embarrassed Li Zicheng opened artillery to break the city and almost slaughtered the entire Nanyang City, so there is a joke from the people of Nanyang in later generations: In fact, we are not locals, yes, At that time, after the destruction of Nanyang City, there were almost no chickens and dogs left under Li Zicheng's butcher's knife!
At the moment when the siege station started, the offensive of the thief army was not violent, maybe the coach Liu Zongmin felt that the small city of Nanyang was a matter of raising his hand, maybe he also knew that the officers and soldiers of the first station would fight back violently, so let's consume their bow and arrow ammunition reserves! So just let 3,000 soldiers and horses attack, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were only sent to the west to feint!
In addition to the fierce 3,000 soldiers and horses who fought back fiercely on the city wall, the young and strong among the people also began to guard the city, and the old and weak women and children were busy transporting war supplies below
Under the city, Liu Zongmin, the commander of the thief soldiers, watched his subordinates struggling to siege the city and killing the officers and soldiers with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Liu Fangliang, the deputy marshal next to him, also had a relaxed expression, "Why don't you gather the whole army to take it down in one fell swoop, it is impossible for these 3,000 men and horses to break the city!" Little Nanyang City can use the trick, it can't be finished directly! ”
"Brother Liu is not in a hurry, it's just past noon now, there is time, take it before dark, let the officers and soldiers rub the sharpness first, and reduce casualties, isn't it good! Let's try to attack it first and see how fierce it is like a tiger," Liu Zongmin said and smiled, this first tiger general under Li Zicheng only had an arrogant spirit, and his momentum was unusual
"I think it's better to hold on tightly, let's not mention that Hedong is still fighting, King Chuang gave this siege work to our brothers, I don't know how red someone is, you didn't see Li Guo's jealous eyes, I guess I'm going to find King Chuang to cry now, haha", Liu Fangliang said and couldn't help laughing, Liu Zongmin couldn't help but pout, "People in their thirties know how to hug his father's leg, if he is not King Chuang's nephew, who takes him seriously!" Obviously, Liu Zongmin was very unhappy with Li Guo
"Ahem! Don't talk nonsense, King Chuang hates others talking about these things the most, and Li Guo is also a bit capable, not just by virtue of King Chuang's relationship! Liu Fangliang hurriedly changed the topic, "Let the brothers step back, and attack again after a stick of incense!" Then take it in one fell swoop, and come to see how the fight is going on in Hedong!
"that leisure, Yuan Zong's more than 20,000 people and horses can't eat 3,000 people, it's better to die, it's better to die, he is Li Guo's person haha!" Liu Zongmin couldn't help laughing again, looking at his arrogant appearance Liu Fangliang couldn't help but shake his head, he really took this brother speechless, he was so arrogant, he was so unpopular, yes! This is Liu Zongmin's consistent style, not to mention other generals, Li Zicheng wants to give him a little face, saying that when he first conquered Beijing, the Qing army entered the customs, Li Zicheng said, little Liuzi, you go to Shanhaiguan to drive the Qinggou out for me, Liu Zongmin is unwilling, what are you kidding, we are all thieves, why are you eating, drinking and having fun in the capital, Lao Tzu is going to beat you with dogs, don't do it! Li Zicheng had no choice, so he had to go into battle in person! Awesome no!
"Report", just when the two were arguing, a spy came quickly, "Dashuai, something is wrong, General Yuan was defeated and killed, and the officers and soldiers have now crossed the Baihe River and are coming to kill here!" ”
"What?" Second, Liu was surprised! "Yuan Zongdi is dead?" Liu Zongmin, who was still wishing that Yuan Zongdi was dead just now, was about to fall off when he heard this, 20,000 people couldn't beat 3,000 people, and he was even defeated and killed, how could it be?
"Really! General, the thief army suddenly came with reinforcements, and now they have chased and killed the riverbank, hurry up and send troops to intercept ......" The spy said anxiously, Liu Zongmin's face really darkened at once, and then laughed, "It's so special!" Yuan Zongdi is really dead! ”
"You still have the heart to gloat", Liu Fang glanced at him, "You continue to command the siege of the city, I will take the men and horses to meet this army of officers and soldiers", said and immediately took the generals to start to transfer troops and send generals to run due east, looking at his back Liu Zongmin's face The expression on his face changed constantly, one would smile, one would be gloomy and one would not help but look towards the city!
