It is located in the south of Jincheng City, on a five-mile slope.
After the firearms battalion led by Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi arrived, Yuan Zongdi allowed Li Dingguo and his troops to set up camp in Wulipo on the grounds of mutual support. Fortunately, the terrain here is relatively high, which is suitable for the Liuthief Firearms Battalion to exert its power from a high position. At the same time, it can block the official road from Linjin City to Tongguan. Li Dingguo said nothing and led his troops to block the front of the Liuthief Right Camp.
The soldiers and horses of the right camp of the bandits led by Yuan Zongdi retreated a few miles and camped south of Wulipo, more than ten miles away from Linjin City, as if in a retreating posture.
In the main tent of the Rogue Right Camp, Li Dingguo came with a group of soldiers, and saw Yuan Zongdi was eating. The table in front of him was filled with all kinds of delicacies. There was a beautiful woman beside Yuan Zongdi. On the left is a beautiful woman in her thirties, and on the right is a girl who is only fourteen or fifteen years old. Judging from her behavior and appearance, she must have come from a wealthy family somewhere, and was kidnapped by bandits.
Yuan Zongdi could never get used to Li Dingguo's righteous and awe-inspiring face, and said coldly: "You said that a war is imminent, and King Chuang ordered you and me to block the army reinforcements. Am I not blocking it now? If you want to fight, just block it." Got it!"
Li Dingguo pointed at the two women and said: "King Chuang has issued a strict order: You are not allowed to rob the people, and you are not allowed to rape women. Killing a person is like killing my father, and raping a woman is like raping my mother. King Chuang's words are still lingering in my ears. General, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that the officers and soldiers will live in Linjin City for a few years, while you and I can enjoy our lives in peace below the city for a few years?"
Yuan Zongdi stood up suddenly, anger lingering on his face. Li Dingguo was not afraid at all and stared directly at Yuan Zongdi,
When the two beauties saw this, they were so frightened that they were so nervous that they were at a loss.
After a moment, Yuan Zongdi suddenly laughed and said: "General Li is indeed a general that King Chuang values and I am a man!"
After saying that, Yuan Zongdi suddenly pulled out his saber, and in front of Li Dingguo, he raised the knife and chopped the two beauties to death. After two screams, Li Dingguo turned pale, clenched his hands, and shouted sternly: "To control a general, you must What are you doing, why are you killing people!"
Yuan Zongdi wiped the blood on the blade nonchalantly and said, "These two women are spies. I will find out and get rid of them. Is there any problem?"
"In addition, General Li urged me to attack just now. I thought that the soldiers of the right battalion had been fighting continuously and needed to rest and recuperate. Let's wait for two days."
Li Dingguo was furious and looked at the two women in the pool of blood. His eyes were still wide open. Suddenly, Li Dingguo felt a trace of sadness in his heart. Is it really right for him to follow Li Zicheng? Will Li Zicheng really achieve something in the future and become his adoptive father? Revenge with the two brothers?
At this moment, Li Dingguo began to waver.
After returning to the Firearms Camp, Ai Nengqi looked at Li Dingguo, who looked very unhappy, and asked, "General, what did General Zhi say?"
"Order the entire battalion to prepare for war at all times. As soon as the officers and soldiers are dispatched, they will immediately stop the attack."
"yes."
Enengqi then asked: "Only us?"
"Hmph! It's ridiculous that the rebels have just achieved some victories, and Yuan Zongdi has already begun to enjoy himself. He only hides in the camp, drinks and hastily, and has no thoughts on fighting!"
Ai Nengqi said worriedly: "I heard that this situation happened in every camp. If it weren't for King Chuang, Yihu, and Li Laiheng, they tried their best to rectify the situation.
Camp, it is estimated that the rebels have begun to enjoy themselves now. "
Li Dingguo shook his head and sighed, silent.
At the same time, Yang Guozhu and Cao Bianjiao discussed with the Chinese army that Linjin was only more than 140 miles away from Tongguan. The soldiers of the two towns could not stay in Linjin for a long time. They must break through the obstruction of the bandit soldiers and horses as soon as possible and fight with them as soon as possible. Sun Duchen's department round.
After discussion, the two decided that Yang Guozhu's camp had many tanks, firearms, sandbags and other equipment, and they acted as a vanguard to attack the bandit firearms camp.
Cao Bianjiao had more cavalry, and he followed up to support the soldiers of Xuanfu Town at any time.
After the two discussed it, they left the city and headed south the next day. Xuanfu Town's 35,000-strong army led by various modified chariots equipped with sandbags. Under the cover of the chariots, several phalanxes pressed toward Wulipo.
Yang Guozhu's central army formation was advancing steadily, and the banner drooped listlessly under the scorching sun, as if Yang Guozhu's mood at this time was tense and impatient.
At the same time, Cao Bianjiao led 10,000 cavalry in the army to follow, and the remaining 15,000 infantry formed a formation to follow.
The 60,000 soldiers from the two towns pushed toward Wulipo in a mighty force. They stopped two miles away from Wulipo and began to adjust their formation in preparation for the attack.
At the same time, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi also received the urgent report from the scouts. They led the bandit firearms battalion to quickly set up a formation. Eight thousand gunmen formed a formation on the slope, preparing to fire from a high position. All two hundred artillery pieces were Deployed on the left wing of the fire cannon formation, located at the highest point of Wulipo, all artillery was aimed at the military formations of the soldiers in Xuanfu Town and Dongxie Town.
"Immediately send someone to contact Youying and ask Yuan Zongdi to lead his troops to come for support immediately!"
Li Dingguo sent one of his subordinates to lead the brigade, and then ordered
Ai Nengqi went to command 10,000 spearmen. As for the 30,000 infantry and dead soldiers, they were all deployed on the flat ground north of Wulipo to block the attack of the official army.
"Woo~woo!"
Soon the trumpet sound sounded in Xuanfu Town, and 35,000 soldiers formed an formation to attack. The formations of each square formation were as sparse as possible to reduce the damage caused by rogue artillery and firearms. These were all used on the Liaodong battlefield. All the experience and lessons learned came in handy at this time.
Li Dingguo looked at the military formation in the distance and said to himself: "Yang Guozhu's Xuanfu soldiers and Cao Bianjiao's Dongxie soldiers are indeed elite. Although they are not as good as Liu Yan's new army, they are worse than Chen Yongfu and others' Henan soldiers, Shaanxi soldiers, and Shanxi soldiers." It is so strong that it deserves to be a strong army that has fought bloody battles with the Tatars!"
At this time, Li Dingguo sighed slightly, knowing that the officers and soldiers in front of him had fought bloody battles with the Tatars, and they should be said to be heroes, but now that he had to fight against them, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Order the artillery team to fire, and the gunners are ready to fire a volley!"
"preparation!"
"put!"
boom!
The two hundred artillery pieces of the Rogue Firearms Battalion fired at the same time. The condescending shells landed very accurately on the military formation in Xuanfu Town. Many of the shells flew directly over the shield car in front and swept across the military formation wantonly. Hundreds of soldiers were killed or injured in one round of salvo, and there was a sudden commotion in several military formations in front.
When Yang Guozhu saw this, he also showed a horrified expression on his face. The bandits' artillery was so sharp that it was no less powerful than the Liaodong slave bandits. As a result, this battle was probably going to be a fierce battle!
"Order all ministries to speed up and charge forward!"
boom!
Soon, the second and third rounds of shelling fell one after another, but the soldiers of Xuanfu Town still endured the casualties.
Rushing up Wulipo, more than a thousand soldiers were killed by artillery fire along the way. Their corpses and blood dyed the charging road red.
"Good man!"
Here, Li Dingguo saw that the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town were able to withstand the bombardment of two hundred artillery and forced them to a distance of more than a hundred steps. He was also very impressed in his heart. In addition to Liu Yan's new army, the Ming court actually had such a powerful force. Soldiers and horses!
"Fire gunman, let go!"
At this time, the vanguard of the Xuanfu Town soldiers had collided with the 30,000 infantry and dead soldiers down the slope. Those miscellaneous soldiers were incompetent and were used as abandoned sons by Li Dingguo. The purpose was to block the officers and soldiers at five miles. Down the slope, the artillery team can maximize its firepower.
However, Li Dingguo overestimated the combat power of his own infantry and underestimated the offensive capabilities of Xuanfu Town's troops.
Thirty thousand bandit infantry and dead soldiers only held on for a short time before they collapsed and fled to both sides along Wuli Slope. The Xuanfu Town army began to climb the slope.
At this time, the soldiers of Xuanfu Town attacked Wuli Slope from below. The heavy shield vehicles advanced very slowly, causing the middle and rear of the army to gather at the bottom of the slope, becoming the best target for the bandits' artillery fire. The casualties of the army continued to increase.
Yang Guozhu had no choice but to order the entire army to abandon the shield vehicles and use the shield soldiers as the vanguard to directly attack the phalanx of the Liuthief Firearms Battalion.
"Kill him!"
"Fuck you!"
"Kill, kill the bandits!"
The soldiers of Xuanfu Town were suppressed and hit all the way by the artillery. They had been simmering with anger for a long time. At this time, they roared and started to charge, and in the blink of an eye they rushed within a hundred steps in front of the formation.
"put!"
Suddenly, the eight thousand gunmen of the bandits began to fire volleys. Six rows of gunmen took turns to fire. Although each row only had more than a thousand people, it also created a great opportunity for the soldiers of Xuanfu Town.
There were many casualties.
After the fourth row of gunmen fired a volley, the soldiers of Xuanfu Town rushed forward at the cost of more than 2,000 people and immediately killed the rogue fire gunners back. The gunmen fled in panic, and they didn't even think about it. There are actually officers and soldiers who can withstand four rounds of volleys without being defeated. What a hell!
Li Dingguo was also dumbfounded. He originally thought that apart from Liu Yan's new army, his firearms battalion was the second most powerful army in the world. However, today's battle made Li Dingguo understand that there are still many powerful armies in the world. Never underestimate the world's heroes.
Fortunately, Ai Nengqi arrived in time with 10,000 spear soldiers and collided with the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town. The two sides fought fiercely and refused to give in to each other.
Yang Guozhu's Chinese army also arrived at Wuli Slope at this time. Looking at the front line, their expressions were ugly. Those rogue spearmen were wearing armor and were condescending. Although the two sides were not giving in to each other, on the whole they still belonged to the soldiers of Xuanfu Town. The casualties are greater, and the situation is unfavorable.
"Look at the main town!"
Yang Guozhu followed the guidance of one of his subordinates and saw the cavalry of Cao Bianjiao's tribe beginning to attack. About three thousand cavalry rushed towards the bandit artillery team, and soon rushed to the front of the formation. There was also the sound of killing over there. Shaking the sky, the artillery fire from the bandits stopped!
"Haha! Okay, I'll see what these thieves can do about this. Sons, kill them and defeat them!"
Without the raging artillery fire of the bandits, the morale of the soldiers in Xuanfu Town was greatly boosted, and they began to continuously launch charges based on their superiority in strength. Round after round, they impacted the front line of Ai Nengqi's command. The casualties of the 10,000 long-armed soldiers began to surge, and the front line Also kept retreating backwards.
Li Dingguo was extremely anxious.
The artillery team must have suffered heavy casualties, but he could only mobilize the gunners who had just been defeated to go to the rescue. The situation of the battle was still unknown, and the front was beginning to lose ground.
"Why hasn't Yuan Zongdi come to help?"
Li Dingguo was angry in his heart when he suddenly heard a cry of killing. When he turned around, he saw that it was Liu Tichun, General You Guoyi of the Right Camp, leading more than 10,000 heroic cavalry. They bypassed the Xuanfu Town soldiers and horses and rushed towards the Dongxie Town army in the rear.
Li Dingguo suddenly shouted: "Hold on, reinforcements are here!"
