Upon hearing this, several people couldn't help but froze for a moment, and accidentally forgot these two parts.
The five people here are all leaders in the war. After pondering for a while, Li Fuming first said: "Fortunately, it is impossible for Xiao Yuan's camp to join forces with Zuo Liangyu's rebels, and Min Benbing also led troops in the war. Now the military pay is sufficient, and there is no need to worry about food and grass. I say, sooner or later we will defeat these two enemies!”
After hearing this, Marco still said a little worriedly: "I'm just afraid of delaying time. I don't know when I can get here?"
"Also, if we want to defeat the rebels led by Xiao Yuan Ying and Zuo Liangyu, how much will the Jing Ying lose?" Bai Guangen frowned and said, "You know, whether it is Xiao Yuan Ying or Zuo Liangyu, They are not unknown people! Moreover, the number of troops in the Beijing camp is not very large. If the losses are too large, they may not be able to come!"
When Wu Sangui heard what they said, he agreed in his heart. He was also not optimistic and said: "The situation is difficult! If I guess correctly, don't expect too much from the troops in Jingying. They can defeat Xiao Yuanying and Zuo Liangyu." It's enough for all the rebels."
At this point, he pointed to the west and said in a positive tone: "To defeat the established troops of King Chuang and Cao Cao, we will ultimately have to rely on Governor Sun's Qin troops."
"I agree with this!" When Bai Guangen heard this, he immediately agreed: "Governor Sun is famous for suppressing thieves. The kings are all defeated by Governor Sun. If Governor Sun hadn't been imprisoned... all these years have been wasted. , these bandits may not be able to become powerful!"
I remember when he was still a bandit, when he heard Sun Chuanting coming, he always ran away.
"I hope Governor Sun will lead his troops out of the border as soon as possible!" Tang Tong sighed after hearing this.
After he finished speaking, the five guerrillas were silent for a while. Obviously, they are all worried about the situation at hand.
In the end, it was Wu Sangui who said to the other four: "Although there is a high probability that the Duke will not be able to come, if we don't have any military exploits, we can't explain it."
Having said this, after a pause, he raised his voice and said with more confidence: "We all place our hope on Governor Sun. The bandits must also focus on guarding against Governor Sun. The main defense of his department must also be in the west. Face. Taking advantage of this situation, we move quickly and win a few battles against him, and then the Duke of Guo will have an explanation!"
The other four people heard the implication of his words. The situation was not optimistic. Now that the bandits were not paying attention to the east side, after winning a few more battles, even if they avoided fighting, I believe others could not say anything. Can also explain.
"Uncle Chang is right. Once we win a few battles, we will definitely attract the attention of the bandits and send troops to attack us." Tang Tong spread his hands and said, "We only have this strength. If we finish fighting, we will rise." It no longer serves the purpose of containing the traitor army as a national transportation agency!"
"Right, that is it."
"Just do what the elder uncle says!"
"..."
The five guerrillas quickly reached an agreement. Then, it immediately started to move.
………………
The Yellow River passes through Kaifeng Mansion and flows to the north of Kaifeng City. It is a natural barrier, blocking the imperial reinforcements from the north.
Northeast of Kaifeng City, there is a town called Chenqiao Town on the other side of the Yellow River. Li Zicheng deployed an army here to prevent the imperial troops from the north from coming for reinforcements.
The man at the head is a fellow villager of Li Zicheng, named Li Datou. He thought the name was unpleasant, so he changed his name to Li Diwan. He has 10,000 infantry and 500 cavalry.
However, Chenqiao Town is not big and cannot accommodate so many people. Moreover, he wanted to cover the northern section of Kaifeng, so he deployed along the north bank of the Yellow River.
On this day, he was sitting in the largest house in town, listening to music and enjoying things that only gentlemen could enjoy in the past.
Perhaps it had been like this for a few days, so his personal guard reminded him: "Brother, I reported back from the previous inspection, saying that I found the imperial court's night guard in Dongming. Should I be vigilant?"
When Li Di heard this, he knocked on melon seeds and said nonchalantly: "Dongming is far away from here! Besides, aren't there troops deployed in Zhujiazhai? If there are really imperial officers and soldiers in the north, they will naturally be there. Come to report!"
To the northeast of Chenqiao Town is Zhujiazhai. They have captured the area and stationed more than a thousand people there, which can be regarded as the outpost of Li Diwan's troops.
After he finished speaking, he shouted "Okay", which startled the singer. Turning back, he saw that the guard seemed to still want to speak, so he waved his hand and said: "Yes, yes, I know you are doing it for my own good. But the general is my fellow countryman, don't forget it. Also, Zuo Liang in the north If you become a traitor to the imperial court, will you come to fight us when you are full?"
After a pause, he thought of something, and then he said "poof" again: "And Yuan Shizhong, didn't he also lead his troops to the north? With them making trouble in the north, what else is going on here? Why don't we just listen? Qu, let’s have a drink, right?”
After talking about it, he laughed out loud.
His personal guard thought about it and thought it made sense, so he also listened to the music.
Li Diwan's thoughts were those of most of the bandits. This can also be seen from the deployment of their troops.
Just as Wu Sangui and others had guessed, when it came to attacking the bandits, they aimed at the relatively rich side, so they sent troops to attack the city and seize territory there. In terms of defense, they were even more afraid of Sun Chuanting's Qin soldiers, so they deployed heavy defense forces in the west.
However, they never expected that Wu Sangui and his five-pronged guerrillas would join forces. The cavalry of about 2,500, led by Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen, bypassed Zhujiazhai first. At around noon, the bandits escaped A surprise attack was launched here just in time for the meal.
Li Diwan was completely unprepared. His troops were deployed along the Yellow River. There were only about 5,000 troops left in Chenqiao Town. He fought in a hurry, but was killed by Wu Sangui in just one round, losing his name in vain.
Ma Ke, Tang Tong and Li Fuming led more than 7,000 infantry troops and launched an attack on Zhujiazhai around noon, sweeping away the bandits with overwhelming force.
If we say that these five were originally the tasks of the general soldiers, although they have been reduced to guerrillas, if they are only satisfied with such a victory, they will be looked down upon.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the surprise attack, Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen did not stop at the north bank at all. They crossed the Yellow River in the shallow water area and attacked Kaifeng City with a furious surprise attack.
On the Kaifeng City side, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai left 30,000 troops to besiege, but most of them were infantry, and since they wanted to besiege Kaifeng, the number of troops in all directions was limited.
The leader was Yuan Zongdi. He couldn't help being shocked when he heard the report. He flew to report to Li Zicheng while shrinking his troops to prepare for the imperial reinforcements.
In his opinion, such a sudden attack left Li Diwandu on the north bank unable to fight back, and it must be an attack from the imperial army.
In this way, it was convenient for the cavalry of Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen to go straight to Kaifeng City.
………………
If the original historical development were to be followed, Kaifeng City was not fully prepared for the third attack by Li Zicheng's troops, so after more than a month of defense, food began to be scarce. At this time, one stone of grain had already cost thirty or forty taels of silver.
However, in this dimension, because of Zhang Mingwei's butterfly effect, Li Zicheng had already been warned about Li Zicheng's attack on Kaifeng. Therefore, the food reserves in Kaifeng City were larger than in the original history, and they were immediately prepared for a long-term war. There was an imperial edict. Therefore, the entire city's food was distributed uniformly, and there was no food crisis.
However, the stalemate in Kaifeng lasted for more than a month, and the bandits did not attack. The morale of the defenders that was originally built up has dropped a lot. At this time, the guards were all listlessly taking turns at the top of the city.
Suddenly, the rumble of horse hooves and the cry of killing were heard. This made them all excited, and they all heard the sound and went to see what was going on.
When they saw that it was a court cavalry that had dispersed the bandits surrounding the city and headed straight to the city, they all shouted happily.
"The imperial reinforcements are coming. Look, the imperial reinforcements are coming!"
"Hahaha, we are saved, the imperial reinforcements have arrived!"
"..."
Compared with their excitement, Kaifeng's commander-in-chief Chen Yongfu, who heard the news and checked the situation, was not very happy. Instead, he immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert.
Because he knew that the bandits had pretended to be officers and soldiers more than once to deceive the city. The sudden good news is that they will take advantage of the eagerness of the defenders, and maybe they can deceive the city gate into opening.
In fact, during the Third Battle of Kaifeng, in the original history, because Li Zicheng wanted to move his main force to Zhuxian Town for a decisive battle with the imperial officers and soldiers, he had people pretend to be imperial officers and soldiers, and took the captured command arrows to let him The Kaifeng defenders should not leave the city to avoid the possibility of the Kaifeng defenders causing trouble behind their backs.
But this time, when Chen Yongfu was preparing for the cavalry outside to call the door and verify his identity, Wu Sangui, who had already arrived at the moat, had no intention of entering the city. He just shouted loudly to the top of the city: "I It is the guerrilla generals Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, Tang Tong, Li Fuming, and Ma Ke who are on the orders of the Duke to provide support on the periphery. Once the main force of the imperial court arrives, it will be time to wipe out the bandits."
Bai Guangen also rushed to the city at this time, and of course he was not willing to give Wu Sangui a shout. Therefore, he also shouted: "I am Bai Guangen, the guerrilla general. The imperial army will arrive soon. You must defend the city!"
After the two of them finished shouting, they didn't stay at all. They turned around in a circle and headed north of Kaifeng, leaving the city.
At this time, Henan Patrol Commander Gao Mingheng hurried to the city head. As he strode towards the battlements, he shouted excitedly: "Where are the reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements?"
When Chen Yongfu heard it, he pointed with his finger.
At this time, the dust raised by more than two thousand cavalry outside the city ran back and forth once. It was a bit exaggerated to cover the sky and the sun, but it was true that it obscured the cavalry and made them unable to see clearly.
"..." Gao Mingheng couldn't help being dumbfounded when he saw it.
