On October 17, the second year of Chongzhen, the weather was getting colder and colder. The officers and soldiers used Xiegu Pass as an incision to seize the Qishan camp and launched a pincer attack on the peasant army Li Yangchun. Li Yangchun was defeated. With the help of reinforcements,
After passing Fufeng County, they fled back to Fengxiang in a panic. At this time, the officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation and captured Fufeng County.
In just three days, the situation in Fengxiang Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes. Officers and soldiers invaded Fengxiang Mansion in large numbers. Qishan, Fufeng, and Xiegu Pass formed a line, forming a siege on the peasant army in Wugong County. The current situation is,
As long as the peasant army is slightly careless, the peasant army stationed in Wugong County may be completely wiped out.
Because Wugong County is very important in geographical location, it can be said to be an important jumping-off point from Fengxiang Prefecture to Xi'an Prefecture. Since the attack on Xi'an Prefecture, half of Gao Yingxiang's troops have been stationed here. If Wugong County is trapped, supplies will not be delivered.
By then, the 60,000 troops around Wugong County will be eaten by the officers and soldiers in less than half a month. By then, the officers and soldiers will not need to fight, and the peasant army will fall into civil strife.
Sometimes I am afraid that something will happen. Just one day later, the officers and soldiers stationed in Fufeng County and Xieguguan separated some men and launched a strong attack on the county. The walls of the county were very short, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend. In just two hours,
The two thousand peasant troops stationed in the county had no choice but to retreat towards Wugong County. As a result, the officers and soldiers completely blocked the supply channel of the peasant army in Wugong County. At this time, Gao Yingxiang was completely panicked.
The situation is deteriorating so fast that even Niu Jinxing, with all his tricks, can't cope with it. Half of his troops have been gathered near Wugong County. If this force is swallowed up by the officers and soldiers, there will be heavy losses. Gao Yingxiang said nothing.
It is possible that these soldiers and horses were allowed to die in Wugong County, but now that supplies cannot be delivered, what can we do?
After sitting in his seat and thinking for a long time, Gao Yingxiang clapped his hands heavily and said sternly: "It seems that there is no good way now. Wugong County is in serious danger. We can only let Hua Xiaorong lead the troops to evacuate Wugong County. We will cooperate with you."
Attack Fufeng County from both sides, open a gap, and allow tens of thousands of brothers to withdraw."
When Gao Yingxiang thought about it, his method was very safe. If tens of thousands of brothers in Wugong County, plus the people he sent, attacked Fufeng County by force, wouldn't they be able to grasp it? As long as a gap is opened, those tens of thousands
If the people withdraw, all the previous efforts of the officers and soldiers will be in vain. As long as the troops are gathered in hand, can the world still trap Gao Yingxiang?
Unexpectedly, Niu Jinxing, who had been silent all this time, immediately stood up and said anxiously, "Chuang Wang, you must not do this!"
"Huh? Why not? Are you looking at those tens of thousands of brothers trapped to death by the officers and soldiers?" Gao Yingxiang was puzzled and even a little angry. Niu Jinxing couldn't care about this anymore and said with a wry smile: "King Chuang, think about it, the officers and soldiers
With so much going on in Fengxiang Mansion, will the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Yang He's command have any movement at all? He is waiting for the Wugong County defense to weaken, so that a large army can attack."
"Furthermore, King Chuang, have you forgotten how Wang Ziyong was defeated a few days ago? The Tuobuhua cavalry is stationed in the east of Qishan, and they are waiting for an opportunity to kill. Once the soldiers and horses of Wugong County
If you stay under Fufeng City for too long, once Tuobuhua's cavalry arrives, the situation will be unimaginable... Unless King Chuang is willing to send our cavalry to entangle Tuobuhua..."
"This" Gao Yingxiang thought about it carefully and suddenly felt chills from head to toe. Wang Ziyong's defeat in Sanshui County was ultimately defeated by his elite cavalry. They were the elite cavalry that traversed the Mongolian grasslands. Not to mention they were skilled in bows and horses.
There is also a heavy cavalry hidden that kills without batting an eye. Gao Yingxiang has personally seen how terrifying this cavalry is.
If the soldiers and horses of Wugong County cannot capture Fufeng County in half a day, they will become the dead souls under the sword of this cavalry. Gao Yingxiang's heart trembled when he thought of the scene of tigers entering the flock of sheep.
It is true that I also raised a cavalry during my time in the northwest, but this cavalry only had 2,000 people and had never experienced actual combat. How could it be an unstoppable opponent? It was not easy to raise a cavalry, but it had not grown up yet.
Gao Yingxiang would never be able to commit such an act of seeking death by fighting against the elite cavalry of Tuobuhua.
Gao Yingxiang is really reluctant to give up. If he doesn’t raise cavalry, he will never know how valuable cavalry is. It is no exaggeration to say that one cavalry is worth ten infantry. The horse materials, training time and manpower required for cavalry training are unimaginable. Infantry,
Just recruit people and give them a meal, but cavalry is not good, and war horses are even rarer.
If Fufeng County cannot be captured in time, not only will it face the threat of Tuobuhua cavalry, but if Wugong County is captured by officers and soldiers again, the consequences will be unimaginable. In this way, the troops and horses in Wugong County really cannot move and can only
Deploy troops from Fengxiang.
"Mr. Niu, what are your suggestions for the current situation?"
Niu Jinxing smiled bitterly and sighed: "I can't say it's a clever idea. It's just a stupid idea. It depends on King Chuang's reluctance. Now that Qishan has been lost, Fufeng County and Xieguguan are also occupied by officers and soldiers. Let's attack Xi'an.
The government's idea was completely in vain. In this case, garrisoning troops in Duyangshan also lost its meaning. In this case, it is better to withdraw Duyangshan's soldiers and horses. This way, not only does it not have to worry about officers and soldiers threatening Duyangshan, but it also deliberately adds one more
Send elite troops to attack Fufeng County. Then, with King Li Tianwang as the general, we will lead a heavy army and not guard the official road from Qishan to Fufeng. As long as we block the surprise attack of Tuobuhua's cavalry, we can attack Fufeng with peace of mind.
county."
"Evacuate Duyang Mountain?" Gao Yingxiang murmured to himself. To be honest, he really couldn't bear to leave Duyang Mountain. In order to attack Duyang Mountain, he spent all his efforts and many brothers died. But Niu Jinxing's words make sense.
, Next, the hope of attacking Xi'an Mansion is slim. Why are you still occupying Duyang Mountain and becoming a target for officers and soldiers?
"Withdraw, order Li Zicheng to lead his troops to withdraw from Duyang Mountain and divert the troops to attack Fufeng County. In addition, order someone to find a way to send a message to Wugong County, ordering Hua Xiaorong to restrain the brothers and not to cause chaos.
Wugong County. Let him wait for news from Fufeng County. At least until Fufeng County is captured, Wugong County cannot afford to lose. Otherwise, if the officers and soldiers use Wugong County and Fufeng County as horns and attack from both sides, tens of thousands of brothers will suffer.
.”
The order was sent out quickly. Although the officers and soldiers were stationed in Fufeng County, cutting off the supply channel from Fengxiang to Wugong, it was still easy for one or two people to pass through Fufeng County to send messages.
In Wugong County, Hua Xiaorong looked at the order in his hand, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. Now that the surplus food in Wugong County is only enough for two days, what should we do next? King Chuang asked him to restrain his brothers, but this
How can things be so easy? Judging from King Chuang's intention, if Fufeng County cannot be conquered for a long time, then the tens of thousands of brothers in Wugong County will follow Yuan Ma's example and open their mouths to eat people.
Once you eat someone, something will happen.
Not all starving people in the world are willing to become Yuan Ma. What's more, does that guy Yuan Ma eat people because he is hungry?
Hey, I hope the people sent by Chuang Wang can capture Fufeng County as soon as possible. As long as there is a gap, the tens of thousands of brothers in Wugong County will have a way to survive.
