Huang Degong's prediction was wrong this time. Chang Yu in Baoding City did not order a counterattack, but had just fought a bloody battle with the rebels. The intensity was no less intense than the rescue battle the day before yesterday. Therefore, the generals in the city looked solemn, feeling that the rebels had broken through the city and were heading north. Their determination is extremely firm, and they are not sure whether they can stop the bandits.
But Chang Yu had another feeling. He felt that Li Zicheng was going to slip away!
Chang Yu is neither a god nor a prophet. He has been able to predict the enemy's opportunities many times because he came from time travel and is familiar with the historical trajectory of the late Ming Dynasty. After a little analysis based on some actual situations in front of him, many connections can be revealed by him. For example, he could know the route, actual strength of Li Zicheng's Eastern Expedition, and his true strategic intentions in advance before the court.
Through these, he was able to compete with Li Zicheng with ease, and he was able to take advantage of every opportunity. The battle the day before yesterday resolved the danger of Baoding. When the rebels set up a defense line across the river, he was wondering whether Li Zicheng was going to take advantage of this to retreat, because No one knows Li Zicheng's intentions better than him. This is the best time to give up immediately. If he were Li Zicheng, he would withdraw decisively.
But one night passed, and there was no movement from the rebel army. However, they came one after another to report that the rebel army had set up a second line of defense on the Qingshui River where the main camp was ten miles away. This made Chang Yu have to rethink what Li Zicheng wanted to do next?
Could it be that Baoding City is unwilling to eat the fat that is so talked about, and wants to break into the city and plunder it before leaving? Or are you unwilling to be tricked by yourself again and vowing to avenge your shame and compete here again?
But no matter what the reason was, this was a very unwise and irrational choice. Chang Yu didn't believe that a powerful man like Li Zicheng could be so impulsive and brainless, but why didn't he move?
Until noon today, I discovered that the rebels were moving. The rebels on the Qingshui River actually tried to kill people across the river. Their tactics were still the same, using the refugees as cannon fodder...
Chang Yu ordered Shi Kefa to go to the city to supervise the battle and bombard the opponent's position with artillery. Li Yan, also known as Li Yan, went to the front line to take command, and ordered Zhou Yuji to assist him.
The main road of Qingshui River is actually the south moat of Baoding City, with different widths. However, the water is shallow. The bandits drove the cannon fodder across the river to charge into the formation. Normally, Shi Kefa might not be so cruel, but with the little eunuch behind him, how could he be soft-hearted? Knowing better the consequences of being soft-hearted, he ordered the bombardment.
The cannons on the city had a long range, and most of them fell into the formation of the rebels on the other side, killing countless people. However, Li Yanke, who was on the front line of command, was crueler and more decisive than Shi Kefa. He ordered the Shenji Battalion to install field artillery and thousands of archers. Launched a fierce attack on the refugees on the river bank and the bandits on the other side.
Two firepower points above and below the city crossed, which frustrated the rebels' frontal attack, so they divided their forces into the east and west wings to cross the river with heavy troops. The battle line was once stretched for more than ten miles. Li Yan ordered Zhou Yuji to hold on to the east wing, and ordered the prisoners who were originally stationed in the west of the city to be captured. General Qin Songwang met the enemy on the west wing.
Qin Songwang is Li Yan's confidant general. He made great achievements in the battle the day before yesterday. He was ordered to guard and educate the prisoners in the original bandit camp in the west of the city. He instigated thousands of prisoners in one day. Of course, the rebels thought too highly of these bandits. If you have breasts, you are a mother. Eat, drink, and behead anyone.
So as soon as the fighting started here, Qin Songwang shouted, and the prisoners took the knives and went to kill yesterday's colleagues, and their attacks were extremely vicious.
Chang Yu was watching the battle on the city. At first, he was a little confused. What was the purpose of the rebel army suddenly crossing the river?
Siege? However, most of the rebels on the other side were cavalry, and most of the baggage for the siege was captured by the officers and soldiers. It was obvious that cavalry could not defeat the city.
Clean up the officers and soldiers outside the city?
The only large camp of officers and soldiers outside the city was Qin Songwang's tribe in the west of the city. There were thousands of soldiers guarding more than ten thousand prisoners. If the rebels broke out of the camp, they should launch an attack from the west. Why attack the city head-on?
Chang Yu couldn't understand.
However, the rebel army's offensive was still extremely fierce, but the officers and soldiers were not frightened. Both sides were fighting with swords and swords, as if they were just fighting for the channel of Qingshui River.
The two sides fought fiercely for more than half an hour. The river was dyed red, corpses were piled up, and both the enemy and ourselves suffered heavy casualties. However, the rebel army might not even step foot on the other side in the end, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
Looking at the retreat of the rebels, the corpses strewn in the river, even turning the river red, it was shocking and horrible to watch. Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked solemn. Why did Li Zicheng pay such a high price to fight this battle inexplicably?
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Shi Kefa, who wanted to speak, finally held back and hurriedly led his people down to the city and straight to the front line of the river bank. This battle was no less intense than the battle the day before. The officers and soldiers invested almost all their troops in it. Li Yan The Justice Division, Wu Weiying's Shenji Battalion, Zhou Yuji's tribe, Jinwu Guards, Tengxiang Guards in the city, and even Dongchang's Black Panther Battalion firmly guarded the river bank, preventing the rebels from taking a step forward.
However, the damage was also extremely heavy. Some generals and their men were almost all killed in the battle, which shows the brutality.
"Is the intruder so desperate that he jumped over the wall?" Wu Zhong groaned, holding on to the wall and looking at the tragic battlefield below. The day before yesterday, he followed Chang Yu and lurked back to the northern front with Qiao Sanxiu. Jiang Fa and the others did not go to the battlefield. Instead, they stayed on the lookout in Xushui City. After the officers and soldiers defeated the rebels, they took Nangong Yu into Baoding City.
Although he repeatedly asked for a fight today, Chang Yu did not agree. The battle below was extremely tragic. Although Wuzhong was a master of martial arts, the battlefield was different from Jianghu. If he was not careful, he would belch. Chang Yu, such a good sparring partner, did not want him to He died so early. Of course, if the Black Wolf Camp was there, he could still be allowed to practice his skills.
He said it unintentionally but listened with intention. Wuzhong's casual words made Chang Yu seem to have caught something at once, but it seemed as if his hands were empty. But at this moment, a spy came to report that Huang Degong's department had an affair with Li outside Zhending City last night. A fierce battle ensued, and Li Guo was killed and fled for dozens of miles.
Ah! Chang Yu was a little surprised. Huang Degong was still in Zhaozhou when he left. Although he left a message telling him and Li Muxian to wait for action, he didn't expect that this guy actually sent troops to Zhending Fucheng, and even fought with Li Guo and Luo, the most elite members of the bandit army. Tiger fought hard and actually won!
It must have been Li Muxian's bewitchment of the refugees that helped him achieve his goal, otherwise Huang Degong would not have been able to resist the three forces of Li Guo, Luo Hu and Ma Shiyao even if he had joined forces, he would not have been sure.
What the hell, Ma Shiyao didn’t leave the city at all, he was stuck in the city by the refugees! After hearing the spies' detailed description, Chang Yu was shocked, and then burst out laughing. Li Muxian is really a treasure! There was such a big movement.
Hey, everyone in the world thinks that Huang Degong is rude and brainless, how can he be so clever with his little tricks?
While admiring, Li Zicheng raised his eyebrow again. Li Zicheng's inexplicable fierce attack today must have been avenged by Li Guo's defeat. He was so angry that he lost both the north and south lines in two days, so he sent out troops to feel discouraged?
"But for today's battle, fortunately Li Guo and Luo Hu are not here, otherwise I'm afraid... the Qingshui River defense line will not be protected." Chang Yu looked south from a distance, "I'm afraid that once Li Guo returns, there will be another fierce battle!"
"Back to Lord Governor, Li Guo did not return to the army, but camped by the Dasha River!" The spy whispered. Chang Yu was shocked and narrowed his eyes. He then took out his telescope and looked south, only to see The bandits stationed on the riverside have retreated several miles to reset their defense lines, and further south, some people can be vaguely seen coming and going.
"I know, I know..." Chang Yu gasped, his face slowly glowing with joy, and his expression was so exaggerated that Mr. Wu and others looked puzzled.
"What does the Lord Governor know?" At this moment, Shi Kefa, Li Yan, Zhou Yuji and others came to the city and asked casually.
"The intruder is about to escape, haha, the intruder is finally about to escape!"
Shi Kefa and others were slightly surprised by Chang Yu's gaffe. Although this little eunuch was far from the steady and calm image of the big boss of the East Factory in their hearts, he was usually calm and calm. He had never been like this. But after hearing what he said, he could not tolerate He couldn't help but exclaim: "Is what the governor said true?"
"I take it seriously." Chang Yu calmed down his emotions a little, raised his eyes and looked at the bandit camp in the distance and sneered, "
Previously, the governor had never been able to figure out why the intruder wanted to fight this battle inexplicably, but now he finally understands! "
"You are deliberately disturbing our ears and eyes by pretending to be attacking in the east, but in fact you are secretly telling Chen Cang that he has already withdrawn to the south?" Li Yan, who was the first to know Li Zicheng, blurted out in surprise.
Chang Yu touched his palm: "Just like General Li said, secretly assassinate Chencang!"
"Not good!" Shi Kefa changed his face after hearing this: "According to what the governor said, the intruders are pretending to attack but are actually covering their retreat. Then they have already slipped far away. We should send people to pursue them immediately... No, no, at this time How could we catch him just after the battle when we were exhausted and exhausted? What a cunning thief..."
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
