Chapter 154 Capture Li Dingguo Alive!
Outside the north city gate of Chengdu.
Cao Xun had already brought nearly 4,000 elite cavalry and eight thousand elite infantrymen who were originally reserved for reserve forces, as well as the eight hundred faceless army led by Chu Lingkui, and left the city with Hongniang, Yang Zhan and Liu Zhenfan at Erlipo.
Convergence.
"General Red, when will we go out?" After communicating with the generals of the two thousand cavalry led by him, Yang Zhan came over and asked Hong Niangzi.
In fact, I also asked for a fight.
The Beidaying had already roared, and it seemed that the two camps were still spreading to the east and west. Therefore, in Yang Zhan's view, this was a good time to defeat the thief army in one fell swoop.
The Hongniang said: "No hurry. Through the news reported by the Flying Eagle Team's reconnaissance team just now, the bandit army east and west camps intercepted the riots in time, and the camp roar did not really spread to these two camps.
Therefore, we have to wait until the Flying Eagles make these two camps chaotic, so that we can go to Beidaying to find Zhang Xianzhong's body.
Moreover, there were still many chaotic troops in Beidaying at this time. If we go too early, we might be attacked by the chaotic troops."
Yang Zhan frowned slightly after hearing this, “Did we just wait here until dawn?”
When the Hongmao was about to speak, she heard a preparatory flyer saying, "Report to the captain, there are a group of cavalry coming out of Dongdaying, with about three thousand cavalry running towards us!"
"Look, isn't this something to do?" Hong Madam smiled, then stood up and looked east, and said, "Li Dingguo has calculated that we will take the opportunity to attack the camp, and dare to intercept it at this time. Sure enough, they are smart and
courage."
Yang Zhan and Cao Xun looked at each other, then clasped their fists together and said, "Please lead the cavalry to fight against the enemy cavalry!"
"Yes." The Hongniang nodded, "I will lead two light drone teams to cooperate with you."
At this time, Chu Lingkui also stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Faceless Army asks for battle!"
The Hongniang looked at Chu Lingkui wearing the mask of the evil ghost (customized by later generations), nodded and said, "Yes - the infantry left four thousand guards of Erlipo, and four thousand led by General Liu to fight the enemy cavalry after the cavalry.
Mr. Chu Qian and the Faceless Army were praised by General Liu."
"Ode to the Lord!"
···
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
When Li Dingguo, who heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front, led three thousand cavalry to outside the north city gate, couldn't help but frowned.
In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy too early, although he did not let the cavalry under his command benches and the horses wrapped in their hooves, he also slowed down and walked over.
How to calculate it?
Unless the official army is far away, he will know that he will lead the cavalry here.
Thinking of this, Li Dingguo saw several blurry light rising from the distance, and his pupils suddenly shrank slightly, and he thought of something.
Strange bird!
If the strange birds that make camp roars in Beidaying are really controlled by the government army, can the government army also use the strange birds to monitor the major camps and learn about their troops as soon as possible?
Thinking about the daytime siege, the Dongcheng defenders always saw through the plans, Li Dingguo felt that things were likely to be the same as he thought.
"General, 80% of them are official cavalry in front of them, and there should be a large number of people. What should I do now?" Jin Tongwu asked next to Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo looked at the large group of black shadows less than a hundred steps ahead, frowned, and then shouted: "The enemy has arrived in front of him. Now he turns around and can't lift his horse speed for a while, and he will only be chased by the tail. It's better to fight with them.
.All the soldiers, follow me to kill!"
Speaking of the last sentence, Li Dingguo's voice suddenly increased several degrees, and he rode a rifle in his hand and accelerated forward!
"Kill!"
Jin Tongwu and others immediately followed the horse and accelerated the charge.
However, as he was about to fight with the enemy cavalry, six dazzling light columns suddenly shot down from the sky ahead, which made many thieves blind and closed their eyes.
Even Li Dingguo is the same.
While closing his eyes, his heart also sank to the bottom, and only two words remained in his mind - it's over!
Sure enough, he heard a series of screams and the sound of falling horses around him.
He angrily stabbed the spear grass in front of it, but no one was stabbed.
At the same time, loud shouts came from the sky—
"Princess Kunxing is blessed by God and will revitalize the Ming Dynasty with great powers. Your attack on Chengdu is against the will of heaven, and you will not be able to kneel down and accept surrender quickly!"
Although most thieves were blinded by the light column, they were also scared.
When I heard loud shouts from the sky again, I became even more frightened and almost no longer had the desire to fight.
In this case, the thief cavalry is killed, and the horse will naturally be more likely to be knocked off.
When Li Dingguo's eyesight was restored, he saw that the cavalry around him was easily chopped down by the official cavalry and fell off the horse.
In addition, they charged late, and the speed of the horses did not increase, and they could not run during the confrontation with the official cavalry.
The official cavalry rushed in in two groups, but saw this but did not take the opportunity to kill. Instead, they avoided the remaining thief cavalry and surrounded the remaining 2,000 cavalry such as Li Dingguo.
Seeing that the cavalry under Li Dingguo had only been in battle for more than ten days, hundreds of casualties were killed or injured, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Seeing that the fists of the official cavalry surrounded him were sparse, he prepared to order everyone to rush out with him.
At this time, a "woo--" whistle appeared, and three dazzling light columns enveloped him, making him almost unable to open his eyes.
Then a woman's voice came down from the air.
"Zhang Dingguo, you have reached this point. Do you still have to fight? If the princess hadn't intended to surrender you, I would have killed you now."
Li Dingguo had just adapted to the strong light and tried hard to look into the air where the sound came. He saw an iron bird as big as a human head hanging in the air, with several different lights flashing on his body, which was extremely magical.
"Don't you surrender yet? Do you want all the soldiers around you to be buried with you?"
Another sound came from the iron bird.
"Who are you?" Li Dingguo asked with his eyes narrowed, "Princess Kunxing?"
"I'm not a princess, I'm a Hongmao."
Li Dingguo was surprised when he heard this and said, "Madam Hong, aren't you Li Zicheng's subordinate? He actually surrendered to the government army?"
"The princess is loved by God and deserves to follow... What do I tell you so much? In the last time, will you surrender?"
Li Dingguo was silent for a moment when he heard this.
He looked at the cavalry around him - most of them followed his confidants for more than two or three years.
But at this time, many people avoided his gaze, and looked complicated with nervousness, expectation, and ashamed.
Only a few people including Jin Tongwu dared to look at him.
Closed his eyes, Li Dingguo sighed quietly and said, "Jin Tongwu, lead everyone to throw away weapons and surrender."
Jin Tongwu understood Li Dingguo's thoughts as soon as he heard this, and asked anxiously: "General, what about you? If the general is unwilling to surrender, he will never surrender even if he is humble!"
Li Dingguo opened his eyes and looked at Jin Tongwu: "How could I betray him if my adoptive father is well-educated to me?"
Jin Tongwu said with tears in his eyes when he heard this: "General is also a life-saving grace for his humble position!"
Li Dingguo frowned slightly and said, "Since you remember my life-saving grace, you should obey my orders. And so do you, listen to my orders, put down your weapons, and surrender."
Jin Tongwu still looked unwilling.
But someone threw away the weapons.
It seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and immediately there were a large number of thieves who threw away their weapons and even dismounted and fell to kneel down.
When most of the thieves threw away their weapons and dismounted their horses, the infantry led by Liu Zhenfan also arrived at the encirclement.
So he sent someone to take away the weapons and horses thrown by the thieves, and gathered the surrendered thieves in one place.
Through the FPV drone, the Hongniang saw that there were still hundreds of thieves gathered around Li Dingguo and refused to surrender. She spoke through the drone and said, "General Yang, General Cao, and Zhang Dingguo will be handed over to you."
"yes!"
The two responded and waved their hands to signal the cavalry to tighten the encirclement.
Seeing this, Li Dingguo suddenly pulled out his sword and crossed his neck, shouting at Jin Tongwu and others: "You are not surrendering if you don't obey orders. Are you going to force me to commit suicide?"
"General!"
Jin Tongwu and others couldn't help but burst into tears.
Immediately, looking at Li Dingguo's firm gaze, Jin Tongwu was the first to throw away his weapon and dismount and knelt down at Li Dingguo.
The remaining hundreds of cavalry also threw away their weapons and dismounted and knelt towards Li Dingguo.
Seeing this, Yang Zhan shouted loudly: "Zhang Dingguo, since you have all your subordinates surrendered, why not surrender yourself too? Maybe you don't know that Zhang Xianzhong has been burned to death."
Li Dingguo had heard that Zhang Xianzhong was burned to death by fire before when he went to Beidaying, but when he heard Yang Zhan say this with his own ear, he still felt a pain in his heart.
‘Entertainment father, the child cannot avenge you, he can only go down and fight with you in the underworld.’
He muttered in his heart that Li Dingguo had just put down his sword and raised it up again, and wanted to commit suicide by dying his sword.
Seeing this, Yang Zhan's expression changed drastically, and immediately realized that it might be his words that made Li Dingguo feel dead.
Zhu Ma said several times at the Western Prefecture Military Conference that if possible, he would persuade him to surrender or capture Li Dingguo alive.
If Li Dingguo committed suicide because of his words, even if the princess didn't blame him in person, he would have difficulty in getting promoted in the future.
Therefore, Yang Zhan bent his bow and arrow at the fastest speed and shot one arrow on Li Dingguo's sword.
Li Dingguo, who was in a state of death, not only was he unhurried, but he also didn't hold the sword tightly. He was shot and fell off his hand.
After Yang Zhan shot an arrow, the pegasus galloped over the distance of twenty or thirty steps like the wind. He reached out and pulled Li Dingguo off the horse's back.
Although Li Dingguo was also very skilled and brave, he was still much worse than Yang Zhan, a Wu Jinshi who was in his forties and had more combat experience.
