There is no city within a hundred miles south of Dali. It is impossible to come from Huazhou, let alone Tongguan... There is only one possibility. Zhang Guozhu's heart trembled. He looked back and looked at Zhengzheng. He came from the west. Come!
No matter how stupid he is, he still knows the ropes!
First, they reveal themselves to the west and north to attract their attention, and then combine them into one to lure them to fight and hold them back. However, the opponent's main force has already detoured south, with the purpose of attacking and replenishing Dali City!
The support troops to the west are most likely from Sanyuan. Their purpose is very clear, their intelligence is very detailed, their planning is very careful, and their actions are very fast. This shows that the opponent's general is by no means an easy person to deal with.
At this time, Zhang Guozhu's true military talent has not yet been revealed, and he is even a bit weak. However, this man is also a stable man. He can remain calm even after being shocked. He knows that it is too late to return to the south to intercept at this time. And it's not like he can just go back if he wants to. The thieves in the north are death squads, used to hold him back.
But once the main force from the south is allowed to attack the city and explode the chrysanthemum, the situation will change instantly. If you can't protect them all and can be killed by the bandits from inside and outside, then you will be guilty of a big crime.
At present, there is no way to stop them, so they can only quickly spread the news so that the officers and soldiers in the city can be prepared so that they will not be caught off guard.
Damn it, he actually got caught. Zhang Guozhu felt like he had eaten shit in his heart. He was so angry that he stomped his feet and almost collapsed the roof.
Here in Dali City, the fighting is at its most intense, and it is also the most critical moment for life and death. The officers and soldiers have already gone up to the city to engage in the most brutal fight with the rebels at the city head. Both the east gate and the west gate have boarded the city. This is the east city. It was the fifth time he successfully reached the summit. He was beaten down by the bandit army the first four times, but this time, Ma Huabao felt stable. Even Tian Jianxiu shouted in his heart, God will destroy me!
"General, let's retreat first while we fight a bloody road for you. The green hills left behind are not afraid of not having firewood..." Seeing the brutality at the top of the city, the officers and soldiers who were climbing up one after another, and the soldiers had already begun to persuade Tian Jian Hidekazu. Gao Yigong fled quickly. At this time, there was still a chance. He could fight his way out through the north or south gate. If it were too late, once the officers and soldiers entered the city, there would be no way out.
Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu began to hesitate. Although they swore to stay with the city and live and die with the soldiers before the war, at this time, they also knew that if they didn't leave, they would really be in trouble. Very few people in this world said that and do synchronization.
"General, it will be too late if you don't leave!" Seeing that the two men were hesitant, the soldiers wanted to pull them away. Tian Jianxiu struggled to break away: "I should be with the city, and anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy."
The general...the soldiers were extremely anxious. Gao Yigong next to him thought to himself, this guy is really planning to defend to the death. Tian Jianxiu suddenly had a happy face, which made him a little confused and followed his gaze. Looking at it, he was stunned: "Anyone who refuses will be killed without mercy!"
The soldiers sighed and were debating whether to fight in a bloody battle or to force the two men away, when they suddenly heard a lot of cheers around them... Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming... Turning their heads to look at the banks of the North and South Luo River, thousands of troops Zheng Aoao came to kill...
Damn Zhang Guozhu!
After hearing the information sent by Zhang Guozhu, Ma Huabao's grin immediately turned ferocious. He couldn't help but cursed and asked him to intercept him from the outside. He was able to make thousands of the opponent's people detour back to the city, and in This is the most critical moment!
But what can we do at this time? Let Boyongfu, who is assisting the attack outside the south city, draw troops to intercept!
When Bo Yongfu received the news, he also cursed and became furious. Although he was not the main attacker, the soldiers and horses at hand were rushing up from the bottom of the city. He suddenly wanted to withdraw outside the moat to meet the enemy. He was in such a hurry and exhausted. How could he fight and block it? Come on, no one will be angry if you leave him alone!
But it was impossible not to block them. If Ruo et al. rushed to the rear and had no chance to escape, they had no choice but to quickly send an order to retreat and return to save themselves. At this time, the reinforcements of the rebel army had already crossed Beiluo River.
Dali in Beiluohe is also a 90-degree turn. It is about ten miles away from Dali to the west, but it is too close to the south, less than five miles. The cavalry will rush over in the blink of an eye, and the infantry will rush over in the blink of an eye. If so, it would be more than half a stick of incense.
The rebel army has cavalry, although there are not many, there are nearly a thousand cavalry. This weight is not bad in normal times, but at this time, the officers and soldiers who are attacking the city are tired and tired and are in a hurry to fight. They will be pressed to the ground and rubbed!
Fortunately, Ma Huabao also thought of this, and while sending his own soldiers and available cavalry to defend Boyongfu from the first wave of cavalry attacks, he also asked Wu Weiying for help.
Wu Weiying still had some inventory in hand. In addition to the artillery, the Shenji Battalion also had a thousand cavalry and thousands of infantry, all of which used firearms. Although some of them were assisting Wu Sangui in the attack on Tongguan, there were still 300 cavalry and more. There are a thousand infantrymen here, and this firepower is enough to block Bo Yongfu.
Where did the reinforcements come from? Could it be that Li was here? Seeing that the opponent was getting closer and closer to Bo Yongfu, Ma Huabao was stamping his feet and scolding his mother. Wu Weiying was also full of doubts. He couldn't guess where the support soldiers came from. After all, at this moment, not everyone could After thinking about it, Zhang Guozhu's message only said that the rebel reinforcements were coming from the south. He was fighting in the north and had no time to return reinforcements. He more or less meant to shirk responsibility. He agreed to let me guard against the west and north, but they came from the south. Oh.
But one thing is that Zhang Guozhu's inference is accurate. The troops who came to help the rebels did come from Sanyuan, and Liu Fangliang, a fierce bandit of the rebel army, personally led his troops to help.
It is said that Liu Fangliang received intelligence from the spies yesterday and learned that the officers and soldiers were attacking Dali. After the reinforcements from Wohu Mountain were defeated, he immediately sent five thousand troops to help. At the same time, he sent advance personnel to notify Heyang, Pucheng, and The soldiers and horses of Chengcheng County were ready to cooperate.
It is more than a hundred miles from Sanyuan to Dali, and it will take at least two days according to the normal infantry marching speed. However, the military situation is urgent. Liu Fangliang knows that once the city of Dali is broken, it means that the central gate of Xi'an will be broken open, so he needs to march quickly. The army was ordered to march all night, with a rest of twenty miles, and no more than a cup of tea. As for the more than a thousand cavalry, they should go ahead with as many pieces as they could.
The cavalry ran all the way and arrived at Pucheng before dawn. After a brief repair, they went directly to the Crouching Mountain military camp. At this time, the original soldiers and horses in Pucheng had arrived at Crouching Mountain to rendezvous. A rough estimate The total strength here is more than 3,000, and with his cavalry, there are almost 5,000. However, this is obviously not enough, because Liu Fangliang knows that there are 2,000 to 3,000 cavalry waiting for officers and soldiers on the Beiluo River. How to break through Their fight to the city requires skill and the cooperation of more men and horses.
So while he ordered the soldiers to repair in Crouching Mountain, he contacted Heyang and Chengcheng. Because they had given notice in advance and their feedback was timely, there were still two to three thousand people available in the two cities combined. They have gathered towards Crouching Tiger Mountain.
Calculated in this way, Liu Fangliang has seven or eight thousand people at his disposal. Although it is not enough, it is enough to give him a try.
Just at this moment, a piece of good news came, which finally made Liu Fangliang feel relieved. What he was most afraid of was that he would be late for rescue. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers did not attack last night, which gave him time to rush over. .
As for why the officers and soldiers did not attack, it is easy to understand. If it were him, he would not launch an attack of the same level in a short period of time, because the firepower and soldiers could not bear it. It was a waste and an ineffective attack. Naturally, he had to recharge his batteries and summarize the last attack. The reason for the failure, and then take out the fatal blow!
However, the officers and soldiers did not leave him much time, and soon another news came: the officers and soldiers were laying siege to the city, and a fight could begin at any time.
Liu Fangliang's heart started to rise again. He had to call for help quickly, and before calling for help, he had to break through the blockage, or go around...cheat...
Cheated? Liu Fangliang had a flash of inspiration.
If there was enough time to allow thousands of Mihara's infantry to arrive, he would not need all this mess and go straight to the attack. Although the opponent was all cavalry, he would have a huge strength advantage.
More importantly, he also has a powerful cavalry. Although his personal soldiers only have a few hundred cavalry, they are still powerful!
Soon he formulated a plan to show weakness and lure Zhang Guozhu's officers and soldiers to fight in the north, and put his own soldiers in to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers to hold Zhang Guozhu back, while he personally led the remaining troops to take a circuitous route to the south.
This trick works very well.
Zhang Guozhu was unable to withdraw in time to stop him, and the besieging officers and soldiers were in the midst of a fierce battle. They could not turn around to resist at the critical moment of life and death. In the end, Bo Yongfu of Nancheng could only withdraw his troops in a hurry to fight, and it was obvious that he could not defeat them. Ma Huabao had to Use your own soldiers and the musketeers from the Shenji Battalion.
