Near a small hill five miles north of Tongling City, Wu Sangui and the men and horses in Wang's body were repairing. They had suffered nearly a hundred casualties in several battles and almost all suffered losses. The soldiers were tired and hungry at this time, and they were empty of dry food.
Wang Tizhong squatted on the ground and picked up a branch to draw the terrain around Tongling. Wu Sangui watched and listened carefully: "The west is close to the Yangtze River, and the vast mountains to the east don't know if there is a road in the mountains. If you want to get to Chizhou from here, you need to Walking close to the river bank and the foot of the mountain, the road is narrow, long and white. As long as one soldier and horse are stationed here, it will be difficult for us to pass.
"The trip to Chizhou has been put aside in advance. How to retreat from the enemy or enter the city is the top priority right now." Wu Sangui smiled bitterly. They fought with Wang Yien's bandits several times but no one could be defeated. No one could enter the city. They had to be on guard at all times. Harassing the opponent to prevent the opponent from taking advantage of the opportunity is extremely painful for the exhausted officers and soldiers.
"It's just that the little governor miscalculated and didn't expect that Bai Wang would send so many soldiers and horses at once, but let General Ma stay in Fanchang. If the eight hundred horses had come with him, Wang Yi'en would have been killed by us at this time. Why are we so unable to advance or retreat after entering the city?" Wang Tizhong said with a bitter smile. Wu Sangui glanced at him sideways and said with a smile: "You are a hands-off shopkeeper. If you hadn't given him so much uncertain information, he wouldn't be like this. So underestimating the enemy..." He raised his eyebrows: "Underestimating the enemy? He has never underestimated the enemy, I'm afraid there is a deep meaning in this..."
"What's the deep meaning?" Wang Ti was confused, Wu Sangui smiled bitterly: "We can't predict the depth of his thoughts. Let's just focus on the present."
"In front of us? In front of us, we can only wait." Wang Tizhong sighed and looked towards the south. There were many cavalry running around in the distance. At the moment, neither they nor Wang Yi'en could enter the city, so they could only stand in front of each other and wait for reinforcements to arrive. Although he has sent people to quickly call Ma Ke to come for reinforcements, he has to go back and forth for more than 200 miles, and he will arrive as early as tomorrow morning. But it is different with the rebel army. Since Bai Wang can let Wang Yien lead the vanguard Then there must be a back-up, perhaps the reinforcements are already halfway there.
Wu Sangui knew in his heart that the more they spent, the more disadvantageous they would be. If the rebel reinforcements arrived, they would have to retreat far away. At that time, Tongling was surrounded by the rebel army and it was difficult to prevent the people inside from opening the door and surrendering... Thinking of a sudden flash of inspiration here, since At this time, the people in the city did not open the door to surrender, which meant that they were relatively loyal to Wang Tizhong. In this case... then they really had to take a risk, so they murmured with Wang Tizhong.
"Forget it, if Bai Wang's reinforcements come first, we can't resist it and have to retreat. There's no guarantee that the little ones inside won't open the door... So General Wu took this dangerous step. We have entered the city and we can't retreat immediately." Let's wait until the army arrives." Wang Tizhong gritted his teeth and stamped his feet before deciding to do it.
There was a thunder in the sky, and the rain began to fall. Although it was not heavy, Wu Sangui and Wang Tizhong secretly said that they would suffer.
Wu Sangui and Wang Tizhong were stationed five miles north of the city, while Wang Yi'en was stationed at the foot of the mountain three miles east of the city. The reason why he did not go to siege the city was because if he tried to get close to Wu Sangui, he would definitely launch an attack. After several rounds of this, the two parties They all acquiesced to this measure, so Wang Yi'en was happy to take the opportunity to repair and wait for Bai Wang's army to arrive. The spies had reported that Bai Wang's army would arrive as soon as dark, but the officers and soldiers absolutely couldn't do it. Wang Tizhong and Wu Sangui's Although the vanguard cavalry can cover two to three hundred miles in one night and half a day, the main force in the rear cannot, so it is very beneficial to them to continue to spend like this.
Of course, Wang Yi'en would not allow Wu Sangui's people to get close to the city wall. He sent several small teams to wander around Tongling City to monitor and drive away the spies of the officers and soldiers to prevent them from uniting with the people in the city to act as a monster.
Hearing thunder rolling in the sky, Wang Yi'en cursed first and then burst into laughter: "Press harder, the bigger the better!" The heavier the rain, the slower the reinforcements from the officers and soldiers were hindered, which was naturally a good thing for him.
"General, the officers and soldiers there seem to be..." The person next to him had just finished speaking. Wang Yi'en had already seen hundreds of cavalry coming from the north. Damn it, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry. Wang Yi'en quickly ordered his troops to prepare for the battle. He had been killed in several previous battles. Two thousand troops lost nearly 300 people, and he was heartbroken. Therefore, he did not dare to divide his troops to surround Tongling City, because only by gathering together could he defeat Wu Sangui. To be precise, he could remain undefeated, but as long as he divided his troops, he would be defeated by Wu Sangui. Hundreds of riders were defeated one by one.
As soon as Wang Tizhong gathered his troops, he saw a fast horse coming to the front of the formation and shouted: "Wang Yi'en, General Wu invites you to discuss important matters."
"Bah, I'm not talking about this. Could it be that I'm afraid and want to surrender?" Wang Yi'en cursed, but he was also thinking of good things in his heart. There might be some unexpected reversal, so he led more than ten soldiers to drive forward. The curtain of rain was getting heavier, and it was already blurry to see things dozens of meters away. Seeing Wu Sangui slowly approaching with more than ten cavalry, Wang Yi'en shouted: "Wu Sangui, I respect you because you are a man, so I came here to see you. Hurry up!" "Fang, if you want to say something about surrendering, shut your mouth quickly, I am not the same as the villain in the king's body."
Wu Sangui laughed loudly: "You can rest assured, the court will not look down on you."
Wang Yi'en cursed angrily: "I'm not going to entertain you by fucking you. If you don't fart, we will kill you again!" Wu Sangui slashed his sword and said: "Of course I will kill you again, but I will ask you first before starting the battle. One thing, is Bai Wang arriving soon?"
"Hahaha, aren't you scared?" Wang Yi'en laughed heartily: "Two hours are bound to come. Although I can't do anything about you now, by then you will definitely be dead. I advise you to surrender to me, Dashun, because of your qualifications How can I be granted the title of a prince, general or prime minister?"
Pooh! Wu Sangui spat: "If you don't do what the great Zhuguo of the imperial court does, you will be your kind of grass-headed king who will bring shame to our ancestors. I'm afraid you are a pig-headed one." Without waiting for Wang Yi'en to retaliate, he said: "You only know white thieves." We are almost there, and we know that the army of officers and soldiers is only fifty miles away. Fifteen thousand on foot and cavalry are not comparable to the thousands of refugees of the White Bandit. I will not recruit you to surrender, but will only tell you that your death is coming soon!"
"Fuck, you're scaring me!" Wang Yi'en curled his lips, but he was a little panicked. He would not have believed what the officers and soldiers said in the past, but this time he was facing the northern reinforcements led by the eunuch of Dongchang, and in front of him was the impressive figure. The famous Wu Sangui, he was really not sure whether it was true or not.
But he quickly determined that he must be calling him something!
If tens of thousands of troops are really going to arrive soon, there is something wrong with him not hiding and resting but then coming to fight! But why did he continue to say such a lie that could be seen through at a glance, what does this guy want to do? If he wants to beat me, he will beat him for a long time. What does he want to do? Wang Yien suddenly became wary: "Where is Wang Tizhong?"
Hehe, Wu Sangui sneered: "He went to move reinforcements!" At this moment, several horses rushed towards the rain curtain dozens of meters away from the west. Wang Yi'en immediately understood what was going on and shouted: "Fuck, you want to embarrass me!" ..." Before he finished speaking, Wu Sangui shouted: "So what, Yin?" As he spoke, he slashed with his sword. Wang Yi'en hurriedly parried. Seeing that the coach actually did it, the two armies behind him launched a charge without hesitation. In an instant, there was a loud killing sound. The two armies were engaged in a fierce battle. Upon seeing this, several riders who were running towards the west quickly reined in their horses and threw them aside. Entering this damn formation would mean death!
