Chapter 16 Wanxi Strategy II: Wannan Fengyun (5)

"Pounce ......."

The fleeing enemy, no matter how strong he was before, is an ant-like existence in front of the cavalry once he runs.

This is because, once the escape takes place, a paradox is formed - for the pikemen, it is natural to know that as long as they stop and point their spears at the cavalry, the horses will not go straight to the spears, but that requires all of them, or at least a group of people, to stop at the same time.

But once it enters the escape mode, everyone scrambles, and it is impossible to stop, so for the cavalry pursuing behind, it is time for the real ......

Time to Kill!

At this time, Long Thirteen had already opened the simulator box and knew whose team was in front of him, but he would not be relentless.

A hundred horsemen looked like a few, but once they gathered together and rushed forward, the momentum was still quite spectacular, and as the white pole soldiers were constantly knocked down and trampled to death by their horses, their panic was further exacerbated!

But after all, Ma Xianglin's troops were only a mile away from the city gate, and everyone reached their maximum potential when they fled, and they soon ran to the city gate!

Suddenly, a large number of white-pole soldiers gathered in front of the city gate!

In such a situation, the white pole soldiers calmed down, they did not rush to the drawbridge, but obeyed Ma Xianglin's order, formed a formation near the drawbridge, clustered together, pointed obliquely at the front with the long tip of the spear, and then slowly entered the city gate backwards!

At this time, without the command of Long Thirteen, after seeing the tips of the spears that were clustered together with a cold light, the war horses took the initiative to avoid it.

However, Dragon Thirteen is not helpless.

A hundred horsemen roared from east to west in front of the north gate, and when they approached the city gate, the cavalry shot arrows in their hands!

Then he rode back and used his left hand to send out a round of throws!

After going back and forth like this a few times, there are not many white pole soldiers near the drawbridge, but most of them are naturally not killed by the arrows thrown by the pro-guards, but have already avoided the city!

The suspension bridge slowly rose.

In fact, at the moment just now, Dragon Thirteen also had the idea of following the white pole soldiers to kill in and then take the city gate, but in the end he gave up.

"Are all or some of the enemy's soldiers and horses? If it's all of them, it's fine, but if it's a part of them, and they form a formation in the city, how can we deal with it?"

......

This was the end of the first day's fighting.

After this battle, the army of Long Thirteen was able to build a camp near the north gate, the east gate, and the south gate in a good time, and at this time, due to the new defeat, the white pole soldiers in the city could only sit back and watch them complete the construction of the camp.

The barracks were made of simple straw bags filled with earth.

Long 13 has 1,000 cavalry, a pikeman, firecracker, artillery, after the camp is completed, Long 13 with his personal guards, Wang Dingguo's cavalry, firecrackers, artillery into the east camp stationed.

Niu Yiqi took seven pikemen and two cavalry to camp at the north gate.

Omubu led two cavalry and seven pikemen to camp at the south gate.

The Xiaoqiang brigade surrounded the county seat of Xinye.

However, if they want to get back into the fight, they will have to wait at least until they have a night's rest.

That night, Long 13 also got information about the opponent's battle damage.

"We counted twenty-seven firemen and pikemen, and according to the counting of the corpses of the other side, their crossbowmen lost two hundred and eighty-one, and the pikemen lost one hundred and two."

......

In Xinye County, Ma Xianglin, who settled down, also got his own battle losses.

After getting that number, he faintly regretted it in his heart.

"I knew that their firearms were as powerful as scheduled, so it was better to defend the city steadily, and there was only one person in my own hands, and this battle would be lost!"

"What's more, the three hundred strong crossbowmen that I have trained with great difficulty have almost all been wiped out, although there are still some in Xiangyang City, but most of them have been irretrievably damaged."

"This little strong brigade is really powerful, I have fought with Jiannu before, he

Naturally, it is extremely strong, but it is a direct and hard fight, although it is slightly inferior, but it is not a touch of collapse, I didn't expect this group of thieves to practice so much firearms!"

"It seems that the defeat of the army of the Nine Sides at their hands is understandable."

At this time, the ambition in his heart had long been worn off, and there was nothing he could think about except to wait for the people of Xiangyang Mansion to come to the rescue.

......

Next.

After a full night's rest, the 1st Brigade had already recovered, and if it was the first time that Long 13's troops had marched like this, but had made it temporarily, then let alone the next day, it might not be able to slow down after resting for three days in a row.

However, the high-intensity physical training of Dragon Thirteen's troops, as well as the occasional long-distance running drills, allowed them to rest for one night and be alive again!

That's the difference.

Later generations said that as long as you have enough food and foot soldiers, you can train into a strong army, which is obviously not right.

Right now, there are two more paths in front of Long Thirteen.

One of them was to use the special cart as a cover, get close to the moat, fill it, and then blow up a city gate.

The second is to ignore the enemy troops in Xinye County and wait for the possible enemy troops to come to the rescue.

When Long Thirteen came here, he also brought half of the newly recruited young soldiers in the Mining City, and in addition to taking care of the baggage, naturally there were also people guarding the camp when the main force went out to fight.

According to Long Thirteen's idea, a battalion of 3,000 cavalry is enough to deal with the challenge of more than 10,000 reinforcements.

......

Three days later, Dragon 13 decided not to wait, and was ready to use a special cart to load earth and stones to fill the moat.

Half a day later, a short section of the moat near the north gate had been filled, and when it was time to carry out the blasting technique similar to that used against the Mining City, enemy reinforcements arrived!

At the head was a general named Tian Xiong.

Speaking of this Tian Xiong, he was originally a general of the imperial court in Yingzhou, Nanzhili, and after getting the news that the Xiaoqiang Brigade broke into Nanyang Mansion, the Ministry of War transferred it to Runing Mansion, and according to the regulations of the imperial court, in wartime, Runing Mansion was under the triple jurisdiction of Nanzhili, Henan Governor, and Yunyang Governor.

That is to say, as long as there is something, he belongs to which side it is.

So, not long after being transferred to Runing Mansion (Zhumadian + Xinyang), Tian Xiong received an order from Jiang Yunyi, the governor of Yunyang.

Tian Xiong was also one of the few people who was appointed as a general after the imperial court reorganized the Beijing camp, and he was the first general to be transferred to Nanzhili, although he was only a sub-general, he had a total of 3,000 elites.

The Beijing camp focuses on firearms, and since it is from the Beijing camp, Tian Xiong's troops naturally have a considerable number of firearms troops!

In addition to Tian Xiong, it is not surprising that Bai Wang, the garrison of Zaoyang, also arrived with a thousand elites.

In addition, the Xiangyang guerrilla Li Min'an also arrived with an infantry army mainly composed of mountain people in the Jingxiang Mountains.

These three forces were able to arrive almost at the same time, and there was obviously a connection between them, yes, Jiang Yunyi appointed Yuan Jie, the commander of the Huguang Xingdu Division, as the commander of the three people.

Of course, what prompted Jiang Yunyi to make up her mind was the appearance of Long Thirteen's Daxu in Xinye County.

As before, in order to determine how many enemies would arrive on the battlefield of Xinye, Ryujusan did not attack the first to arrive at the beginning of the Bai Wangbu, and waited until three days later, when the last part, that is, the Tian Xiongbu, arrived, to determine that the enemy had transferred all the forces that could be mobilized this time.

Due to Long Shisan's hesitation, Bai Wang, Li Min'an, and Tian Xiong set up large battalions on the periphery of the three large battalions of the Xiaoqiang Brigade instead, and actually carried out a counter-encirclement.

At this time, another bad news also came.

"Big Boss"

The news was sent by He Jinlong, who was in Yuzhou.

"Zijin Liang, Bu Mud, Chuang Wang, Cao Cao and other departments have all arrived in Henan, and gathered in Chenliu County, which is under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the total number of these departments is 200,000

Assembly"

"The meeting still uses the King of Zijin Liang as the big leader, followed by the mud, King Chuang, and Cao Cao, and the four major leaders......

"How did you find out?"

"Our detectives captured a scribe who was delivering official documents to Ruzhou near Yexian, and he had the latest newspaper in his hand."

"No, it seems that there are officials and soldiers in the rebel army."

"Yes, not long after they held a conference in Chenliu County, they were severely attacked by Lu Xiangsheng's army that was pursuing south, and at this time, in addition to his Tianxiong army, Lu Xiangsheng's troops who had followed Hong Chengchou before were all gathered under his command, and there were .......

Long Thirteen's heart froze, "The matter of Dengzhou has come to an end?"

"Yes, Kong Youde and the others have already broken through the siege, and now the Guan Ning Army's Jin Guofeng Division, Chen Hongfan Division, and Mu Wenshou Division, which are besieging the city, have all arrived at the Henan battlefield!"

"At this time, in order to get rid of the enemy, the rebel army was divided into two divisions again, Zijin Liang and Bu Mud, etc., went south from Chenliu County, and were caught up by Mu Wenshou in Fugou County, defeated, and are now fleeing to Runing Mansion."

"And King Chuang, Cao Cao and others are moving towards Guide Mansion, and they were attacked by Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters, and they were also defeated, and they are now rushing to Nanzhili."

"It seems that these two departments will eventually converge in the Dabie Mountains southeast of Runing Province."

Dragon Thirteen frowned.

"Because of my intervention, history has changed dramatically, there is no Xingyang Conference, there is no trajectory of the rebel army from west to east, and there is no such thing as them passing through Nanyang Mansion to Hanzhong, and then being trapped in the Carriage Gorge."

"If I stop Nanyang Mansion, they can only wander around Nanzhili and Huguang, in fact, the most likely escape route should be to flee into Hubei, and then from Jingzhou to the west into the mountains."

In any case, since we have made a plan to gain a firm foothold in Nanyang Mansion, we must first defeat the enemy in front of us.

He looked at Wang Ziyu again, "Did they make any moves?"

"No, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the governor of Yunyang are also standing still in the Dishan Temple, it seems that they have all made the idea of waiting and seeing."
