Chapter 128: Luring the Enemy Deeper
But even so, the Fire Gun Army still managed to shine when they fought against Yuan Ting.
"Second team, cavalry charge!" Seeing the enemy fleeing, Hua Yunlong continued to give orders.
"The third team, the infantry army cleans the battlefield."
After a fierce battle, Li Fangyu led more than a dozen remnants of the army to flee back to Xianzhou City.
"General Hua, why didn't you capture Li Fangyu and deliberately let him go?" Liaoyang Commander Zhuang De asked.
"Li Fangyu is just a little chicken, and there is no benefit in catching him." Hua Yunlong said, "After he returns to the city, he will definitely send troops to ask his father for help, and his father Li Chenggui is the big fish I really want to catch." ”
"General Hua's soldiers are like gods!" Zhuang Tak Road.
"Surround the point to send reinforcements, it's just a small skill of withering insects." Hua Yunlong said, "Li Chenggui's two sons have been living in the shadow of his Goryeo God of War, and they will never admit their defeat. Therefore, when Li Fangyu reported the battle situation to Li Chenggui, he would definitely exaggerate his own achievements, saying how heroic he was to break out of the encirclement, and even reverse black and white to say that his fiasco was a small victory. ”
"In this way, it will cause a misjudgment to Li Chenggui."
"General Hua is wise." Zhuang Dedao, "Li Chenggui will be destroyed in the hands of his two sons sooner or later." ”
"General Yuhua." At this time, a commander of a thousand soldiers entered the account and reported, "We caught Li Chenggui's second son Li Fangguo outside, how to deal with him, please ask the general to instruct." ”
"How did you catch it?" Hua Yunlong asked.
"Li Fangyu and Li Fangguo each led 5,000 troops, one to defend the city, and the other to garrison the mountain, wanting to fight each other." "However, when Li Fangyu left the city, Li Fangguo did not respond in time, but slaughtered the villagers in the mountains, killing good people and risking merit." When we captured Li Fangguo, his soldiers were still carrying the heads of hundreds of Goryeo civilians. ”
"Sure enough, it's a tiger father and a dog!" Hua Yunlong sighed.
He commanded: "Lock him up first, and let his guard be lax, so that he can have a chance to escape." For people like him, he doesn't have to be too realistic to act. ”
"Yes."
……
Xianzhou city.
One person was covered in blood and rushed into the mansion, it was Li Fangguo.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Fangyu asked, "When I led the army out of the city, why didn't you go down the mountain to meet me?" ”
"I've answered in time." Of course, Li Fangguo would not admit his defeat, "However, the enemy's offensive is too strong, and you lost too quickly, big brother, so big brother didn't see me." ”
"However, even so, I still killed hundreds of Hua Yunlong."
"But I heard that you have been captured by Hua Yunlong." Li Fangyu said coldly.
"Hua Yunlong is a man who sells his reputation and reputation, and he is very lax in guarding me." Li Fangguo said, "I took advantage of the fact that when they brought me food, I cut down more than a dozen guards by myself, and then I escaped. ”
"Second brother is heroic!" Li Fangyu said.
"Big brother, your 5,000 army!
! Li Fangguo asked.
"My soldiers have killed thousands of Hua Yunlong, and I have personally slashed one of their lieutenants!" Li Fangyu said, "However, the enemy is really powerful, so I have to temporarily retreat to the city." ”
Small kiosk
"My Xianzhou City, the city is high and deep, the defense is strong, plus the mobilization of the people to defend the city, even if Hua Yunlong has an army of 100,000, he will not be able to attack it."
"That's a good point." Li Fangguo said, "Back then, Zhu Wenzheng defended Hongdu, that is, he defended Chen Youliang's hundreds of thousands of troops with 30,000, can't we even compare to a Zhu Wenzheng?" ”
"The second brother is absolutely right." Li Fangyu said, "But sticking to the lonely city is still not a long-term solution, we have to ask our father for help." ”
"Uh-huh." Li Fangguo said, "As soon as the father's army arrives, we can lead the army and the father's commander to attack inside and outside to capture and kill Hua Yunlong!" ”
……
Dongdong.
Li Chenggui and Li Sui arrived with a large army and found that the valley was littered with corpses and rivers of blood.
The battlefield of the two sides fighting, in a valley. The Goryeo army was condescendingly ambushed, and the Ming army attacked from the back, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Li Chenggui frowned when he saw this, and couldn't help but be more convinced that this was the main force of Hua Yunlong.
"The Ming Dynasty army is simply too fierce, and they fight one by one as if they don't want to die." The guard Wang Shi said. What he didn't know was that although it was only led by Hua Yunlong's generals here, there were many Liaoyang soldiers among them.
In order to live a happy life without paying taxes in the future, those Liaoyang soldiers sacrificed their lives and forgot to die when they were fighting.
Even if they die in battle, their families can enjoy it, and Hua Yunlong's pension against the dead soldiers is also very good.
In order to attract Li Chenggui's main force, this army also fought very hard, and it was completely a real fight rather than a fake fight.
"Hua Yunlong is a well-known general, and the soldiers under him are indeed experienced in a hundred battles." Li Chenggui said, "You can repel its main force, which is commendable." ”
"Thank you for the compliment." Wang Shidao.
"General Wang, during the battle, did you find that any of the Ming soldiers froze to death or starved to death?" Li Chenggui asked.
"Nope." Wang Shi said, "When they were fighting, they were all full of energy, all of them wore cotton clothes, cotton shoes, and dogskin hats, and the way of anti-freezing was even better than our soldiers." ”
"How is this possible!" Li Chenggui looked puzzled, "I received a secret report before, and when Hua Yunlong came, he was still wearing single clothes. In such a short period of time, where did he get so many cotton clothes and cotton shoes? ”
"Moreover, the terrain here is dangerous, and it is extremely difficult to transport military rations and military supplies, and it takes five auxiliaries to ensure the combat effectiveness of one soldier. How did he make sure he didn't have a shortage of logistics? ”
"My subordinates don't know about that." Wang Shidao.
"Hua Yunlong's main force, where is it retreating now?" Li Chenggui asked again.
"Two hours ago, they had retreated in a great way, and they had retreated thirty miles away." Wang Shi said, "It must be Hua Yunlong who knows that the general is coming, and because of the general's prestige, he retreats without a fight." ”
Hua Yunlong retired two hours ago? When Li Chenggui heard this, his expression immediately froze. What Wang Shi said about the general's prestige and retreating without a fight is obviously, and it can't be true. He must have had another reason for retiring early.
"General Li, the reason for Hua Yunlong's withdrawal from the army will definitely not be so simple." Li Sui said.
"He broke the cauldron and led all the main forces to attack the east, and now when he sees me coming, he doesn't want to fight me to the death, and he actually retreats, isn't this child's play?" Li Chenggui pondered for a while and said.
"Are they trying to lure the enemy deeper?" Li Sui said.
"I don't think so." Wang Shi said, "When the Ming army attacked Huidong, it was effectively counterattacked by the last general, and the corpse on the ground is evidence. Moreover, they were an expeditionary attack, and the logistics were insufficient, so the last general judged that they might be out of food and had to retreat. ”
