Chapter 296: Offensive and Defensive Conversion
"kill!"
"Kill the thief!"
The night attack broke out extremely suddenly, but the Beijing army responded in an extremely orderly manner.
The army, which was forged at the cost of complete financial imbalance, suffered too much destruction by Li Xiu. The mere night attack was just a small piece of work practiced by the Beijing Army.
The instinctive reaction that has been deeply imprinted in the memory of every Beijing army soldier is enough to easily respond to this night attack.
The sudden night attack did not even break through the first defense line, and was firmly blocked by the defenders who reacted in time. The subsequent reinforcements also arrived quickly, turning the night attack into a complete head-on confrontation.
However, for Li Xiu and Li Zicheng, what they care about is no longer the outcome of the night attack, but the significance behind the night attack.
"From the beginning to the end, the Duke of Qin has never appeared?"
When the remnants returned to the city, Li Zicheng's focus was on this point.
"Report to the Grand Marshal, this is indeed the case. The last general has observed it specially..."
"Okay, I know, you can step down for now!"
Li Zicheng's eyes flashed, looking at the fire in the darkness, and didn't know what he was thinking.
...
At this moment, outside Fufeng City, with Li Xiu's order, the artillery positions that had not been tremendously moved since the beginning of this war, were the first time they had taken action.
One cannon, led by mules and horses, turned around and escorted by iron cavalry, quietly sank into the darkness. In this silently, hundreds of cannons on the cannon position were already missing.
At the same time, the rear army's Dazhai and a cavalry quietly left the camp without interruption and finally disappeared into the vast darkness.
The next morning.
The war begins again.
It was still the same routine, and it was covered by the firepower of the cannons from the beginning. On the city tower, Li Zicheng looked at the cannon positions that poured out the firepower, and his brows were already tightly frowning.
The artillery of the government army... seemed to have also withdrawn many!
"Is it a trick to lure the enemy? Or is there really something wrong?"
Although the balance in his heart was already tilted, the remaining reason still made Li Zicheng confused.
"Go a bet!"
"Damn it, wealth and honor are in danger!"
Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and scolded him, and then made a decision.
The temptation to win a bet is too great!
As long as the official army is defeated, whether within the rebel army or the whole world, Li Zicheng will be able to rise to his reputation! It will completely establish its absolute leadership position.
After all, everyone in the world knows that the Qin Duke was ordered to quell the rebellion, and his first goal was Li Zicheng!
I'm afraid that in the eyes of the world, it is normal for him to lose Li Zicheng. If he wins, that's the day when he is a long time!
Not to mention the harvest of the defeated official army.
Fame and profit are all within reach! It is within reach!
...
The siege war started for about half an hour. In the past, the attack was the most surging time, but today, the sound of the retreat of the gold sounded.
Amid the sound of gold, the siege troops also retreated back to the camp in an orderly manner, and only that cannon was still pouring fire into Fufeng City.
Although the war lasted only a few days, the Fufeng City is now ruined. Looking around, the city walls are covered with hideous potholes, and most of the fortifications covering the soldiers guarding the city have collapsed.
If it weren't for the clearly visible garrison soldiers on the city tower, people would believe that Fufeng was a abandoned city.
"General! It has been arranged."
Li Xiu stared at Fufeng City in front of him, as if he hadn't heard it. After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses, waved his hand, and signaled the general to retreat.
The artillery was still roaring, but after most of the artillery was removed, the intensity of the firepower pouring this time was undoubtedly far lower than before.
In addition, the official army temporarily retreated and stopped siege. For the soldiers of the thief in the city, it was undoubtedly a transition from hell to heaven. At least, there was no need to fight with cannons, and you could find a safe place to hide.
However, before they could enjoy this rare safety, the sudden sound of war drums in the roar of artillery fire suddenly made the city in the craze of war suddenly noisy again.
The original strategy of defending the situation turned into an active attack under the influence of these unintentional factors.
The army gathered and was ready to go. Looking at the city gate that had been completely sealed in front of him, Li Zicheng took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate!"
After the military order, a team of soldiers rushed up with shovels and picks. After they were captured from the two camps outside the city, they built a sealed city gate with bricks and stones, opening them bit by bit, and finally, the city gate opened wide!
"It's really out!"
Looking at the open city gate and the gathering of thieves in the city, Li Xiu couldn't help but chuckled. This is really impermanent.
He was trying his best to take down Fufeng City as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that a military mobilization that had nothing to do with this battle would really seduce Li Zicheng!
After glanced at the more than a hundred artillery cannons on the front artillery position of the army, Li Xiu's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a rare smile appeared.
"Send the order to prepare for war, remember to defend only, not attack!"
The military order was issued, watching Li Zicheng's army who had already left the city to line up. The almost endless crowds of people were everywhere. Li Xiu's smile gradually dissipated.
When a lion fights a rabbit, he also does his best, not to mention a war in which the enemy's troops are far superior to our own side!
On the battlefield, he will not underestimate any opponent.
At this moment, as Li Zicheng's troops gave up their geographical advantage and went out of the city to fight, there was no doubt that the offensive and defensive momentum also changed accordingly.
Unlike the attack of the Beijing Army, which was strict and orderly, the various units cooperated tacitly, Li Zicheng's attack seemed extremely disorderly and had almost no tactical cooperation. The vast crowds of people rushed towards the Beijing Army's village.
"kill!"
"Catch Li Xiu alive!"
"Punish the treacherous ministers! Purify the king's side!"
"Kill!"
The shouts and shouts soared into the sky, and the crowds of people continued to surge.
The momentum was huge, like a comet hitting the earth, and eventually it hit the Beijing army camp fiercely.
There are crowds of people and surging. For the soldiers of the bandit army, it has nothing to do with fear or not, morale or morale, or whether the soldiers are elite or not...
Even if you are afraid or despair, there is no room for retreat under the surging push and shoving behind you.
Continue to death!
The village wall is like a bloody slaughterhouse, muskets, spears, cannons, and thunder. All means can be used to reap the lives of the surging soldiers of the thieves.
Here, human life is worse than grass!
