In order to avenge his beloved general, Huang Yuanzhang immediately reorganized his army and attacked Lishuiguan again.
This time the siege was still fierce.
However, the advantage was completely on Ling Ning's side, and Huang Yuanzhang's troops were distracted and suffered greater casualties, which directly added more than 7,000 warriors to Ling Ning's system.
So far, the number of warriors available in the system has reached 20,000.
So Ling Ning was in a very good mood. After all, the more he fought, the more his troops would increase. Huang Yuanzhang and the court would only become a joke.
However, this steady and steady speed could not satisfy Ling Ning and would take a long time.
Ling Ning said to Jia Huaiying that he would use a sharp knife to cut off the chaos and eliminate the imperial troops. Only in this way can he be powerful and shocking to the world. Only in this way can he raise his rebel flag high and blow the horn of destruction!
In the evening, Huang Yuanzhang had to retreat, leaving corpses all over the ground.
Huo Zilong sent troops out of the gate to deal with the bodies outside, while Ling Ning stood at the gate, looking at Huang Yuanzhang's camp, calculating the follow-up plan.
He is waiting.
Wait for the good news from Guangyu Pass and Heiya Pass.
…
The next day, the good news came.
Zhu Yuan and Xue Niu led the Shenyuan Army and the Tianniu Army, and cooperated with Zhang Sankuang, the guard of Guangyu Pass, to launch a front and rear pincer attack on the 50,000 enemy troops outside the pass.
Fifty thousand enemy troops fought for two days and had to withdraw.
However, Zhang Sankuang, Zhu Yuan and others would not let go of these 50,000 enemy troops, so they continued to pursue them. This enemy army will not be allowed to join Huang Yuanzhang's army.
Under pursuit, the enemy army had to retreat into Tasmania.
same,
Lu Bao and Cao Hu led the Flying Leopard Army and the White Tiger Army, and cooperated with Du Wengwei, the defender of Heiya Pass, to also launch a pincer attack on the 50,000 enemy troops outside the pass.
The 50,000 enemy troops only fought for one day before they had to withdraw to Suizhou in the east.
Du Shengheng was more cunning and asked Du Twelve to lead the troops and hide in the annihilated Qingfeng Village and other places, and then launched a sneak attack on the retreating enemy troops, causing more casualties to the enemy troops.
So in just two days, more than 28,000 new warriors were added to Ling Ning's system.
[A total of 48,352 enemies have been killed. Is it coming? 】
In the system at this time, a full 48,352 warriors can come, which is definitely a big trump card in Ling Ning's hand.
In addition to this army, Ling Ning also has an army of beasts in his hands.
During this period, the hunters in Yanzhou sent all the gray wolves, hunting dogs and other wild beasts they hunted to Yanzhou City. After the massacre, the army of wild beasts in Lingning's system continued to increase.
In addition, the number of chickens, ducks, fish, dolphins, birds and other poultry is also doubling.
Of course.
During this period of fighting, Ling Ning's Beiyou Army also suffered casualties. The total number of casualties for the 100,000-strong army was more than 30,000.
Among them, Lishuiguan suffered the largest casualties, nearly 20,000 people. Among them, nine thousand people were killed directly in battle, and the rest were injured. With the medical level of this era, only some with minor injuries could survive. Once infected, they would definitely die.
Therefore, there are only more than 11,000 people left in Lishuiguan.
This is a secret and must not be known to Huang Yuanzhang.
…
Huang Yuanzhang's camp, the Chinese army's tent.
Huang Yuanzhang and a group of close generals are all here.
Just listen to Huang Yuanzhang say:
"The intelligence has been investigated and cleared."
"At this time, there are only 11,000 troops left in Lishuiguan."
"Although there are 23,000 people in Cangchen Pass, it is impossible to support Lishuiguan in the face of the 80,000 soldiers and horses of Dachen Kingdom."
"Guangyu Pass originally had 18,000 troops. Later, Ling Ning sent more than 10,000 troops there. After excluding the casualties, we still have at least 30,000 troops."
"The same is true at Black Fang Pass. There are also 30,000 troops."
"Now, Ling Ning is deploying troops from Guangyu Pass and Heiya Pass to support Lishuiguan. Once reinforcements come, it will be even more difficult for our army to capture Lishuiguan."
"In the past few days, I deliberately did not attack Lishuiguan in order to create the illusion of being surrounded and not attacking, so that Ling Ning would believe that Lishuiguan was safe, so that the situation at Guangyu Pass and Heiyagguan could be solved first."
"Ling Ning has fallen into the trap now. We should work together and take advantage of this opportunity to capture Lishuiguan in one fell swoop!"
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of all the generals surged.
There are only 11,000 people left in Lishuiguan, so there is a shortage of troops. Huang Yuanzhang still has a hundred thousand troops in his hands. Even if the battle loss ratio reaches a terrifying five to one, he can still win Lishuiguan.
As for how such detailed information was obtained, Huang Yuanzhang obviously had his own path.
but,
Thinking of the enemy troops that emerged from Songshan Mountain last time, the cautious Huang Yuanzhang looked at his advisor Duan Mu Shuang and asked, "Are you sure there are no ambushes in the mountains near Lishuiguan?"
Huang Yuanzhang directly handed over the scouts to Duanmu Shuang for management.
Duanmu Shuang nodded and said: "We sent scouts to search and make sure there are no ambushes. I, Duanmu Shuang, am willing to guarantee with my life. The 30,000 ambushes before were probably secretly raised by Ling Xingshuang. This shows that this thief has long had a disobedient heart." I believe Ling Ning can no longer use any other troops."
"Hahaha..." Huang Yuanzhang laughed and said, "I will rest assured that you are careful in your work! All generals will obey your orders!"
"General Mo is here!" All the generals stood up immediately.
Huang Yuanzhang said excitedly: "Let's light a fire to cook at dawn tomorrow, and send out troops at dawn to attack Lizhou! This time, be prepared for a night attack. I will work hard to capture Lishuiguan!"
There is already a shortage of food and grass, and it will be difficult to replenish food and grass in the future, so Huang Yuanzhang must capture Lishuiguan as soon as possible.
And Huang Yuanzhang also has full confidence.
With more than 10,000 people in Lishuiguan, what could he do to stop his army of 100,000 people!
…
Li Shuiguan, Zhuque Hall.
"Lord, Li Shuiguan only has 11,000 combatable troops. Can you tell when the reinforcements from Guangyu Pass and Heiya Pass will arrive?" Huo Zilong asked anxiously.
As early as three days ago, Huo Zilong proposed to Ling Ning that not all of the 30,000 reinforcements should go to Heiya Pass and Guangyu Pass, but that some troops should be left to guard Lishui Pass.
But Ling Ning didn't agree.
Later, Huo Zilong and Jia Huaiying suggested that Ling Ning quickly deploy troops to support Lishuiguan.
However, Ling Ning used the reason that Huang Yuanzhang's army was disorganized and only besieged but not attacked, so he did not mobilize his troops in time. Instead, he wanted to deal with the enemies outside Heiya Pass and Guangyu Pass first, wait until the two passes were completely stabilized, and then mobilize his troops. , annihilating Huang Yuanzhang in one fell swoop.
In Huo Zilong's view, this situation is very dangerous.
Once Huang Yuanzhang knows the true situation of Lishuiguan, it will be troublesome.
This behavior is very risky!
Ling Ning comforted him: "Huang Yuanzhang doesn't know the situation at Lishuiguan. The last time he attacked the city, he lost his troops, so he won't attack the city. Don't worry."
Seeing Ling Ning being so confident, Huo Zilong became more and more anxious and immediately went to find Jia Huaiying.
Jia Huaiying was also worried: "My lord, it is indeed too risky this time. We are facing Huang Yuanzhang directly at Lishui Pass. The pressure at Heiya Pass and Guangyu Pass is obviously less than that at Lishui Pass. Hey, I will urge my lord again and let the reinforcements go day and night."
After saying that, the two separated.
…
Early the next morning.
What Huo Zilong was worried about happened.
After the enemy troops were ready to go, they approached Lishuiguan and sounded the horn of attack.
This time, Huang Yuanzhang mobilized his entire army, leaving only a few thousand men to guard the base camp, and the remaining troops were all piled up at Lishui Pass.
This time, Li Shuiguan must be taken down to relieve the hatred in his heart.
