379 [Deception and Surrender]

Boss Tent.

A rout soldier who swam back from the other side was being questioned by Li Dingguo: "How did General Ai lose?" ”

"I don't know." The rout replied.

"Don't know?" Li Dingguo didn't understand.

"I could see clearly that the enemy was divided into three parts, and only the firecrackers were left at the front. General Ai told us to rush and kill, and I rushed forward. I don't know what's going on, so I rushed to the opposite side and put a gun, and then the one that rushed to the front collapsed. The enemy's cavalry can also release their guns, and when they get close, they will all be defeated after a burst of firearms. ”

Li Dingguo knew how elite his soldiers were, and it was impossible for them to collapse after being shot in a row. He pondered carefully and asked, "How close is the other side to release the gun?" Isn't it thirty steps? ”

Last time, Sun Ke was expected to suffer a loss, and the Datong army was thirty steps away.

The defeated soldier shook his head and said, "It's definitely not as far as thirty steps, I'm afraid it's only twenty steps." ”

"Twenty steps ......" Li Dingguo was incredulous.

The last time the two sides clashed, the Datong army released thirty steps, which already made Sun Kewang difficult to parry.

In just one year, the Datong Army has evolved again, can it be pulled closer by twenty steps and then released?

Li Dingguo felt incomprehensible about this, his soldiers were already the elite of the world. Let these soldiers be armed with muskets, and without the protection of the melee soldiers, at a distance of twenty paces, lest the enemy rush within thirty paces, and the musketeers will all flee in terror.

Forty steps, thirty steps, and twenty steps are nothing more than the difference between 60 meters, 45 meters, and 30 meters.

It seems that the gap is not big, but Li Dingguo knows very well how high the hit rate of the firearm after shortening the distance is.

After this battle, Li Dingguo still had more than 60,000 foot soldiers, thousands of horses, and thousands of cavalry across the river, and the rest were all people.

Moreover, the adjutant general Ainengchi was captured, and the morale of the whole army plummeted.

How to fight?

The confrontation continues, the river continues to be filled, and the pontoon bridge continues to be built.

During the confrontation between the two sides, many small boats suddenly rowed on the other side of the river.

On each boat, there were captured soldiers, carrying iron trumpets and shouting: "Surrender, brethren, for we have all surrendered." The Datong army did not kill prisoners, but treated them very well, eating dry food three times a day and seeing meat once every two days. Don't fight for Zhang Xianzhong anymore, vote for His Royal Highness King Wu, everyone can divide the field, and King Wu will also give seeds and cattle. voted for King Wu, every day the mother-in-law doll hot kang head! ”

The continuous persuasion voices made the people who filled the river and built the bridge stop their movements and looked at each other, showing their yearning for the content of the shouting.

The soldiers who were closer to the river were also quite impressed, but they suspected that it was a lie.

"Musketeers, shoot at the people on board!" Li Dingguo was afraid of shaking the morale of the army, so he hurriedly transferred the only remaining firecrackers.

The sentries of the Datong Army on the shore, who could see clearly through the clairvoyant mirror, hurriedly blew the trumpet and asked the persuaders to return by boat.

Anyway, in the next few days, as soon as he saw the gap, Fei Ruhe sent someone to row a boat to persuade him to surrender.

It's a pity that Li Dingguo's Ma Siliang successfully crossed the river with thousands of cavalry and has been flowing behind the Datong Army. These guys had no food, so they all relied on going to the countryside to loot, and they caused a lot of harm to the peasants in Huoqiu County.

Lu Xiangguan and Chen Tangong led the dragoons and kept entangled with the enemy cavalry, but they couldn't catch them at all.

Over time, the river channel was filled in to only about 10 meters, making it difficult to continue the earthwork work.

The artillery was erected and bombarded, and after shattering the shield cart, the musketeers were allowed to fire a volley.

Even before the musketeers could fire a volley, the people were routed by the artillery.

Li Dingguo also had artillery, firing at each other every day.

The Datong Army had three regular divisions and 75 artillery pieces, while Li Dingguo had only 30 artillery pieces. The quality is also different, the artillery of the Datong Army hits farther and has higher accuracy.

After a few days of counter-shooting, Li Dingguo's artillery pieces were destroyed by six pieces, so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew the artillery and immediately changed the artillery position after one round.

"Great victory, great victory for our army!"

The messenger galloped on horseback: "Prince Wu led a large army, annihilated Zhang Xianzhong's foot soldiers, and Zhang Thief led the remnants of the army to flee into the mountains!" ”

"Wow!"

"Long live King Wu!"

"Long live Mr. Zhao!"

"We won!"

The Datong army began to shout excitedly, more and more people got the news, and tens of thousands of people were even more jubilant.

The movement on the other side of the strait quickly attracted Li Dingguo's attention, and he was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, but Fei Ruhe had already sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender.

The missionary Yang Jizong went by boat, and Li Dingguo asked the soldiers not to attack.

After Yang Jizong went ashore, he was immediately tied up and escorted to Li Dingguo to kneel.

Yang Jizong did not kneel alive or dead, and said sharply: "General Li, I am a messenger, if you want to insult me like this, kill me!" ”

Li Dingguo waved his hand to let the guards retreat and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

Yang Jizong said with a smile: "Zhang Xianzhong's infantry has been destroyed, and he only escaped into the mountain with a few thousand cavalry, and he was blocked and could not come out of the mountain pass. Are you going to continue to resist? ”

Li Dingguo's face changed drastically: "Mess with our army's heart and kill this person!" ”

"Two armies are fighting, and they are killed? How narrow is General Lee's arsenal. Yang Jizong sneered.

Li Dingguo frowned, and changed his words: "Let him go back and block his mouth!" ”

After Yang Jizong returned to the other side, Fei Ruhe sent another soldier to take a boat and continue to shout and persuade him to surrender. It's just that the content of this persuasion added the news of Zhang Xianzhong's defeat, and Li Dingguo's soldiers were shocked.

……

Xi.

Bai Wenxuan is still excited at the moment.

Ten days ago, he was flanked by the front and rear at Pingjing Pass, and led tens of thousands of soldiers to surrender.

Bai Wenxuan was only seeking to survive at that time, but he didn't expect that Huang Qi asked him to select 5,000 elites and go out of the customs together to continue to lead the troops to fight.

Moreover, Huang Mi only brought 5,000 people, as many as Bai Wenxuan's soldiers.

It's a trust in yourself!

Zhao Tianwang...... Now it should be called King Wu, and King Wu will definitely be able to win the world. He is about to lead troops to defraud the city and completely block Li Dingguo's retreat, what a great merit this is, maybe he can become a founding earl.

Bai Wenxuan led 5,000 people, and Huang Qi led 5,000 people to change clothes and follow.

The two jumped out of Dabie Mountain from Pingjing Pass, crossed the Huai River, and went to Xixian Fraud City from the rear.

This kind of exciting gameplay, the cautious Li Zheng will never be able to do it, so Huang Qi dares to sacrifice his life to go crazy. In case Bai Wenxuan suddenly turns his face, it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out when he cheats the city.

The greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

If it succeeds, Li Dingguo will not be able to go back. Not only blocked Li Dingguo's retreat channel, but also completed the encirclement ahead of schedule, putting Li Dingguo's army to death!

"Hurry up and open the city!"

Li Dingguo stood under the city and shouted.

The general of Xixian County is called Jin Tongwu, and he is the number one general under Li Dingguo. He specially stayed here to garrison the key cities where Li Dingguo withdrew his troops, and if Li Dingguo's grain and grass were insufficient, Jin Tongwu would also be responsible for arranging the transportation of grain and grass.

Jin Tongwu stood on the city tower and said with a puzzled expression: "Why is General Bai here?" ”

Bai Wenxuan's words were half-truths and half-falsehoods: "Pingjing Pass can't be moved, Wenxiu (Liu Wenxiu) stays over there, and I will bring troops over to reinforce the Dingguo brothers." Hurry up and open the city, I haven't eaten anything hot all the way. ”

Jin Tongwu was still vigilant: "Why didn't General Bai come here with grain and grass?" ”

Bai Wenxuan said angrily: "If I march with grain and grass, when I come here, I am afraid that the battle will be over." ”

Jin Tongwu always felt that something was wrong, because Bai Wenxuan was too weird.

But Bai Wenxuan is Zhang Xianzhong's favorite general, and his status is second only to Siyizi, and his military position and prestige are higher than Jin Tongwu.

After thinking about it, Jin Tongwu said: "Please General Bai set up camp outside the city, and at the end of the day, he will arrange to provide grain and grass." ”

"Damn, it's come all the way, and the city won't let you in. Lao Tzu doesn't wait, so I'll go back and sleep with my mother-in-law in my arms! Bai Wenxuan scolded and turned around to leave.

Jin Tongwu really didn't dare to offend to death, so he hurriedly shouted: "General Bai stays, General Bai can bring twenty personal soldiers into the city." ”

Bai Wenxuan was afraid that Huang Qi would be angry, and he was also afraid that Huang Qi would suspect that he was going to release the water, so he subconsciously turned his head to look at Huang Qi.

Huang Mi whispered: "Don't look at me, promise him!" ”

Bai Wenxuan is also good at acting, and he directly agreed that it was not in line with his character, he pointed at Jin Tongwu and said, "You fuck, you say twenty is twenty?" Lao Tzu is going to take a hundred people into the city! ”

Jin Tongwu agreed: "Okay, General Bai will bring a hundred personal soldiers into the city." If you are offended today, please forgive General Bai. ”

Bai Wenxuan sneered: "It's nice to say, but you must be scolding Lao Tzu for being a cripple in your stomach!" ”

"Don't dare."

Jin Tongwu watched as 10,000 soldiers retreated beyond the moat, and finally ordered the city gate to be opened.

Huang Qi followed Bai Wenxuan's side, pretending to be his personal guard, and came all the way, his face was dirty and difficult to recognize.

Bai Wenxuan shouted when he walked in the city gate cave: "Hurry up and let people boil hot water, Lao Tzu wants to take a bath!" ”

The more arrogant Bai Wenxuan was, the more Jin Tongwu let down his guard.

Jin Tongwu personally went down to the city tower to greet him, and said with a smile: "General Bai ......"

"Do it!"

Huang Qi swooped over, knocked the defenseless Jin Tongwu down, and drew his knife and pressed it against the opponent's throat.

Bai Wenxuan led his troops to cut down Jin Tongwu's personal entourage, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Xianzhong is dead, all surrender to King Wu with me!" ”

……

In the rear of Li Dingguo, there were soldiers rushing in boats.

"What's going on?" Li Dingguo asked.

The soldier was frightened: "General Bai...... Bai Wenxuan has already surrendered to the enemy and led his troops to defraud Zhenyang County, and our army's retreat has been blocked! ”

Li Dingguo stood on the spot.

After a long time, Li Dingguo came back to his senses, and his brain began to work rapidly.

Bai Wenxuan's surrender to Zhao Han shows that Huangzhou Mansion and De'an Mansion have been killed by the Datong Army.

Bai Wenxuan's troops left Dabie Mountain from Pingjing Pass and crossed the Huai River and went straight to Zhenyang County. According to the estimated time of the journey, Bai Wenxuan's guy had surrendered at least seven or eight days ago.

According to the victory time on the other side of the river, it shows that it only took about half a month for the Datong army to penetrate Huangzhou Mansion and De'an Mansion.

Zhang Xianzhong was really defeated, otherwise how could the Datong army attack the city so smoothly along the way?

At this moment, the garrison troops (peasant soldiers) in Xinyang, Luoshan, Guangshan and other places are estimated to have gathered and surrounded them. And Li Dingguo's retreat was blocked by Bai Wenxuan, and the next thing was the encirclement and annihilation battle!

You can't fight anymore, you have to find a way to break through.

But his cousin Ma Siliang is still on the other side with thousands of cavalry, so he has to get the cavalry back first.

Li Dingguo sent someone to smuggle the herald, and as soon as he sent the person, he rowed over on the other side of the river.

This time it was Ainengchi, who had only one arm left.

"Why is your left arm gone?" Li Dingguo asked with concern.

Ai Nengqi's face turned pale, and he said with a wry smile: "If you are caught in the fire, you can only see it off, and the medical officer of the Datong Army has good skills." ”

Li Dingguo asked again: "You are also here to persuade you to surrender?" ”

Ai Nengqi sighed: "I'm a wasted person, it doesn't matter if I surrender or not, and there is no need to persuade you to surrender." It's just that Zhao Han sent an order, if you lead the troops to surrender, you can save your father's (Zhang Xianzhong) life in the future. ”

"How dare he spare his father's life?" Li Dingguo sneered.

Ai Nengqi explained: "Zhao Han's intention is to exile his father to Dongbo (Taiwan) to fight against the barbarians on the island and help the Han people of Dongbo to open up the land. ”

Li Dingguo didn't know that there was an island of Taiwan, and asked, "Where is Dongfan?" ”

Ai Nengqi shook his head: "I don't know, I heard that it's similar to Qiongzhou." ”

"That's exile." Li Dingguo sighed.

Ai Nengqi had a serious expression on his face, and said with a straight face: "It's not easy to save a life, and Zhao Han's soldiers can't be defeated at all." On that day, I saw with my own eyes that the two or three thousand musketeers who were not supported by friendly troops were rushed to 20 paces by tens of thousands of people before they were released. Can my brother imagine that kind of scene? Three rows of gunshots rang out, and my corporal was penetrated in front of him. Of the one that was shot, only more than 1,000 people were still standing, and the others all fell to the ground! ”

Li Dingguo said: "Their cavalry is unusable. ”

Ai Nengqi said: "Zhao Han occupies the territory of several provinces, can he always have no cavalry? Zhao Han is not a Ming official, his father only has a few thousand horses left to ride into the mountain, even if he can go out of the mountain again, where else can he go? Come down, it's better to save your life. ”

Li Dingguo was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "The retreat has been broken, and the next thing is to be surrounded on all sides." Forget it, it doesn't matter if I die, don't die with tens of thousands of soldiers. Let's drop! ”
