"General, the two lines of decoy enemy troops are already less than ten miles away from Tongcheng. Do we need to send troops to respond?" At the top of Tongcheng city, there was a look of silence. This was the ecstasy array specially arranged by Tao Zong. The new army was like a squatting army.

Tiger in the jungle

, even though he knew the prey was already in front of him, he just lured him away and never showed his fangs until the last moment. This was not an instruction from Liu Yi, but a strategy thought up by Tao Zong himself. Tongcheng was originally a small county.

, if the new army

A high-profile arrangement here is likely to arouse Zhang Xianzhong's suspicion, so there is no need to place too many flags on the city top or set up suspicious soldiers. The garrison force is to use the withdrawn Ma Jingliang and Li Fubu. They stand on the city wall.

A tired journey

It seems that Zhang Xianzhong is so powerful that he cannot even have a telescope. As long as he feels that Tongcheng is not fully prepared and the main force of Qingyi Army is not here, then Zhang Xianzhong will immediately attack the city. As soon as he moves, Qingyi Army

The opportunity has come.

Tao Zong's defense of Tongcheng this time is equivalent to the eye of the entire tornado, and it is also the great trust given to him by Liu Yi. Tao Zong is an artilleryman, and artillery is strictly a technical branch, which means that Tao Zong lacks the ability to coordinate the overall situation.

, this is not to blame Tao Zong, but that Liu Yi did not give him

The right opportunity, so this time, Tao Zong led an army to defend Tongcheng. All battles will be conducted around Tongcheng. Tao Zong will also be greatly tested in this battle. Likewise, he passed this exam.

, Tao Zong will truly grow into a qualified and independent general.

"No need. Since our plan has been drawn up, everything will go according to the original plan. There is no need to add any extraneous matters. Li Fu and Ma Jingliang are both good people. Otherwise, they would not be leaders. Their work is reassuring. Liu

If the thieves can't catch up with them, let's continue the empty city strategy and attract Zhang Xianzhong's army to attack." Tao Zong said, holding up his telescope and looking into the distance.

"It's an order!" The adjutant who spoke hurriedly went down to check the artillery. All the artillery on the city head were placed a few steps away from the crenels. When it was time to fight, Tao Zong would let these artillery fires stick out of the crenels and let the thieves escape.

A severe blow. For this battle, a large number of artillery pieces were prepared at the top of Tongcheng City. There were twenty general cannons arranged on the front alone, and there were countless artillery pieces of various types. Liu Yi prepared them for Zhang Xianzhong.

Had a feast.

"The bandits are so powerful that they only put 10,000 people to garrison here. What does this mean? Do they look down on our new army? Or does it mean that he doesn't think we will appear in their rear?" Lu Zhenguan direction, hidden in the dense forest.

The elite cavalry of the Qing Yi Army mounted their horses one after another, and all the horses' mouths were wrapped in cloth strips.

Stop and make sure not to make a sound. The horses' nostrils are wide open and they are breathing fresh air rapidly. Obviously, the mouths are sealed, and these horses are also a little uncomfortable. They keep shaking their heads, a little irritated. It is this big one who speaks.

The leader of the army, Wu Dongming, yes, Wu Dongming led the elite

The Rui Cavalry Division has circled to the southwest of Luzhen Pass. They are waiting. When Zhang Xianzhong's large troops withdraw from Luzhen Pass, they will take down the remaining troops of the Western Army in Luzhen Pass in one fell swoop. At the same time, at Beixia Pass, the Wuxu Army

are doing the same thing, of course, the pressure at Beixiaguan may be less. Liu

Wenxiu's troops were not many, leaving only two thousand regular soldiers to guard Beixia Pass. However, there was no danger to defend it. The city wall of Beixia Pass had been blown into ruins and was almost useless. They could only guard the pass.

Camping on the city and the plain outside, wouldn't this be the best target for a large-scale cavalry assault?

Wu Dongming sneered while pointing in the direction of Luzhen Pass and talking to his subordinates. The generals burst into low laughter. Indeed, Zhang Xianzhong was a bit exaggerated. There were only 10,000 troops left in the rear, and it looked like

They all look like hungry soldiers, and they have to take care of 10,000 sick and wounded. Isn’t this just a mob? With such a unit, the Qingyi Army cavalry can kill them all with just one charge. Wu Dongming shook his head, this is actually not the case.

Don’t blame Zhang Xianzhong, he

How could we have expected that more than 10,000 cavalry would appear in the land of one guard, and they would also be able to cut off their retreat? The peasant army has always been chaotic in combat, especially the temporarily organized army of 300,000, even if the troops are left behind.

After the break, it was difficult for Zhang Xianzhong to decide how many people to keep and which people to keep after the break. He simply didn't leave any people behind and killed them directly to take Tongcheng. Anyway, for the Daxi Army, there was no long supply line. It was theirs to feed on the enemy.

Consistent policy.

"Okay, it's almost time. Zhang Xianzhong's troops have gone far. Let's kill them now. After we deal with them, we will immediately meet up with Wuxu at the designated place. I believe that Beixiaguan has also taken action." General Wu Dongming

He took out the pocket watch and put it back into his arms. Qing Qing

Before the Yi army went to war, all generals had to conduct a watch comparison. In the era without radio, watch comparison was an important step to maintain a unified pace of action. Wuxu and Wu Dongming made an appointment to launch an attack at the same time. Seeing that the time was approaching, Wu

Dongming finally issued the attack order.

Bang! Wu Dongming drew out his sword, "Finally check the charge of the gun, listen to my command, and attack!" "We must win! We must win! We must win!" A sound like a landslide and tsunami came, and the soldiers rushed behind Wu Dongming.

Leaving the dense forest, he pounced on the unsuspecting bandits.

Soldiers. An overwhelming cavalry formation pressed forward, and the ground was shaking. The hungry soldiers of the bandits stopped and looked sideways. They wanted to know what the black shadow that suddenly appeared from the dense forest was. Wait until the people at the front saw clearly what it was.

Countless cavalry rushed towards them

At that time, these soldiers were confused. They had never seen such a spectacular cavalry team. Even in Shaanxi and Shanxi, the officers and soldiers there had never gathered such a huge cavalry. Moreover, the armor on these cavalry kept reflecting

With

In the frightening cold light, even the horses under their crotches seemed to be covered with thick armor leaves. The hungry soldiers even forgot to escape, and stared blankly at these cavalrymen who were like killing gods descending from the earth, rushing closer and closer, and then came.

The sound is like thunder...

"General, these thieves are really easy to fight. The brothers only injured two of them and killed them all." Under Beixia Pass, looking at the corpses on the ground, a Qianhu regiment commander smiled at Wuxu beside him.

Said. Wuxu patted the shoulder of the Qianhu regiment leader with the sword in his hand, "

Is this something to be proud of? It’s just a ragtag group of 2,000 people with very poor equipment. Moreover, we were conducting a sneak attack. If the 6,000 Qing Yi Army cavalry equipped with the 28th style attacked the 2,000 unsuspecting bandits, they would still be killed.

If that's the case, I don't think I need to be the leading general anymore."

"That's that." Qianhu immediately lowered his head and clasped his fists and said. There is really nothing to be complacent about. There are only two thousand bandits. At best, they are about the same as Zheng Zhilong's army before. Moreover, there is no city wall to rely on, and there is another surprise attack on his side.

These thieves were beaten to death on the ground with fire blunderbuss at almost a hundred steps distance. The battle could be said to be boring.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Let's not clean up the mess here. We will confirm whether there are any survivors and kill them all without leaving any one behind. Then immediately rush to Liangfengjian, where we will meet up with General Wu's cavalry.

"Wuxu greeted him and ordered his soldiers to execute the order immediately. Scattered sounds of firecrackers rang out. It was not that Wuxu was ruthless. The general said that mercy should not be used.

Soldiers, since these bandits don't regard themselves as human beings, Qing Yi's army doesn't need to leave any room for them. Just wipe them all out. If any fish slip through the net and report the news or escape to other places and go up the mountains to become bandits, it will be a disaster.

The people of one party, especially within the territory of Anqing Guard, will never allow this kind of thing to happen, so it is safest to take precautions before it happens and simply annihilate these thieves on the spot.

"Hurry, hurry up, we have already exceeded the time limit. If they can't wait for us, Wuxu and the others should be anxious!" On the road from Luzhenguan to Liangfengjian, six thousand cavalry were running at lightning speed. Wu Dongming's army was more powerful than Wuxu.

The cavalry is even better

He was very sharp, and he could easily deal with 10,000 thieves and hungry soldiers, and wiped them out in a short time. However, there were still 10,000 wounded soldiers. Wu Dongming ordered all of them to be executed. These people stayed here, and the seriously injured ones were waiting for them.

Dead, his injuries are still okay

It was an unstable factor. The Anqing Guards could not make any mistakes, so Wu Dongming executed these people ruthlessly and wasted time. Before setting off, they had made an appointment with the Wuxu cavalry to meet at Liangfengjian in the evening. That was Tongcheng

north

In a hilly area, the cavalry can be completely hidden in the hilly terrain, blocking Zhang Xianzhong's retreat. The New Army has a very strong sense of time, and Wu Dongming is no exception. If time is wasted, he can only make up for it on the road.

.

"Check the equipment and prepare for battle. The terrain here is good and Zhang Xianzhong cannot find us. When I give the order, we will advance forward. Six thousand people will fight freely in regiments, with artillery accompanying them to provide cover, intersecting with the general's firepower.

Look how Zhang Xianzhong, the thief, dances

"Get out." On the right wing of Tongcheng, the final arrangements were being made during the Sino-Japanese War. Six thousand of them were ambushing in Gaoshan Village to the east of Tongcheng. As the name suggests, this is a piece of high ground, commanding a high ground. Unless Zhang Xianzhong's people came to the high ground to conduct reconnaissance, it would be difficult.

Found the officers and soldiers lying in ambush on the high ground.

"You son of a bitch, you are running so fast, we cavalry can't catch up!" Ai Nengqi led three thousand cavalry and couldn't catch up with Li Fu's troops. He was so angry that he cursed. It turned out that the officers and soldiers were running away.
