"I am so angry!" He Yishan was really unwilling to accept it. Just a small oversight allowed officers and soldiers to sneak in and caused such great losses to Anqing City. He picked up a knife and rushed through the city gate.
When I went out, I never thought that someone was running over from the opposite side. The man was young and gentle, with a steel knife in his hand and full of murderous aura.
"Wu Sangui...it's actually you..."
He Yishan never dreamed that Wu Sangui would sneak into the city from under his nose, which was really a stain on his life. Cao Bianjiao was in front to attract attention, and Wu Sangui led people into the city. The two of them were really brave.
, as long as the slightest clue is discovered, Wu Sangui will be dead. After entering Anqing City, no matter how powerful Wu Sangui is, it is still meat on the chopping board. It is a pity that he did not recognize it. That Cao Wenzhao was also willing to go out, so dangerous.
The matter should be left to Wu Sangui.
At this time, even if He Yishan thought with his buttocks, he knew that the officers and soldiers had a conspiracy. Wu Sangui was now leading troops to cause trouble in Nancheng and damaged the south gate. Then Cao Wenzhao should take action soon. There must be support nearby.
The soldiers and horses, otherwise Wu Sangui would not dare to be so arrogant, but where are these soldiers and horses hidden? Wu Sangui would not give He Yishan time to think about it. He drew a semicircle with the steel knife, wiped his mouth and laughed three times, "He Yishan
, you actually delivered it to the door yourself. Now the boy Cao Bianjiao can't blame me. You don't want to leave now...Brothers, stand side by side and chop up He Yishan first.
We took the lead in taking Anqing City..."
He Yishan was immediately furious. Even if Cao Bianjiao said that, Wu Sangui was the same, as if anyone could pick off He Yishan's head, "Asshole, do you really think I'm easy to bully?" He Yishan
Shan roared wildly, gestured to everyone, and rushed through the south gate. However, He Yishan did not completely lose his mind. Before going out, he even greeted Feng Cen and asked him to quickly order the soldiers and horses outside.
return.
In addition to Huilin Town, there are still soldiers and horses from ten camps on guard outside. However, depending on the situation, Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses will definitely rush in along the road from Huilin Town, which means that soldiers from other directions will
The horses have lost their meaning. Instead of just sitting outside and watching, it is better to concentrate and respond to the strong attack of the officers and soldiers. I still have more than 20,000 troops and horses. If I can block the south gate in time, I may not be able to defend Anqing City.
In the blink of an eye, He Yishan and Wu Sangui's men were already fighting. After fighting for a while, He Yishan began to feel bitter. He found that Wu Sangui was quite capable of fighting. Although not as fierce as Cao Bianjiao, this kid
It's as slippery as a loach, making it impossible for you to get up or down. The more you fight, the more frightened you become. Since Nancheng is in chaos, most of the soldiers and horses want to clear Nancheng, and the city gate cannot be used, He Yishan found himself
Time could not help Wu Sangui. After about half a stick of incense, He Yishan forced Wu Sangui back with a knife, and the whole person quickly retreated. At this moment, he also saw that Wu Sangui was really procrastinating. If he followed him again
If you continue to struggle, you will really be fooled.
"Remove, don't worry about Wu Sangui's men and horses, go to the city to find something for me, and be sure to block the south city gate." He Yishan roared angrily. Wu Sangui's eyes were like bells, and he was very anxious. If He Yishan was asked to retreat,
Wasn't his work in vain? So, he rushed forward with a steel knife, "Brothers, rush, protect the south gate..."
He Yishan immediately laughed. As long as you want to protect the South Gate, you have to rush over and fight. I have many soldiers and horses, and I will use up energy to kill you. Soon, the main battlefield of both sides moved from outside the South Gate.
At the South Gate Cave, within a short time, cold sweat began to break out on Wu Sangui's forehead.
Feng Cen was very happy. He destroyed Wu Sangui and waited for the surrounding troops to withdraw. With sufficient troops, there was great hope to defend Anqing City. So, he shouted excitedly: "Brothers, work harder, dog officers and soldiers can't do it."
Already..."
Wu Sangui stared angrily. If he had more men and horses, he would have rushed over and pulled off Feng Cen's head. Just when the battle was at its most tense, there was finally movement outside the south gate. A troop of soldiers
The horses came out of nowhere. They rushed out of the forest and headed straight for the south gate camp. In front of them was a general in silver armor, majestic and majestic. "Wu Sangui, wait a moment, I'm here!"
Before anyone arrived, the roar had already reached the south gate. They tried their best to intercept it on the city walls, but they could not stop the officers and soldiers from charging. Some people recognized the silver-armored general and shouted with a look of shock, "Boss He, this is a big deal."
Oh no, the thief general Zhao Shujiao is here..."
Zhao Shujiao? He Yishan's mouth twitched, and he felt extremely bitter in his heart. What the hell is going on? Didn't it mean that Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Shujiao's soldiers and horses were stationary in Qianshan County? Why did they do so so quickly?
Have they reached Anqing City? Looking at this situation, Zhao Shujiao has already led his men to ambush in Huilin Town. The key is how did Zhao Shujiao's soldiers and horses escape the search of spies?
There are more than 3,000 soldiers and horses under Zhao Lijiao, and they are all soldiers from Liaodong. They are very powerful. They entered the city along the south gate, as if they were in an uninhabited country. He Yishan had tried his best to send troops to stop them.
However, how could the disorganized peasant army stop the wolf-like and tiger-like Liaodong soldiers and horses. In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers and horses led by Zhao had already rushed through the south gate and attacked the city wall. At the same time, outside the city there were also
Finally, news came that Cao Wenzhao and Qin Liangyu were dispatching their entire army, aiming directly at Anqing City, and were expected to arrive in two hours.
The south city wall was filled with gunpowder smoke and the sound of fighting was endless. Most places had become the territory of the officers and soldiers, especially in the south city. The chaos became even more severe. Many people also secretly participated in helping the officers and soldiers deal with the peasant army. In short, in the blink of an eye, everything happened
, no place in the entire Anqing City seems to be safe.
He Yishan stared blankly at everything in the city. In two hours, could he drive Zhao Zhujiao and Wu Sangui out of Anqing City in two hours? In fact, He Yishan had no confidence at all.
If Zhao Lijiao cannot be defeated internally, when the main army of Qin Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao arrives, his group will be blocked in Anqing City.
By this time, Feng Cen was already a little panicked. He looked at He Yishan dryly, "Brother He, what should we do now? We have sent people to rush to the south city wall several times. As soon as we arrived at the south city wall, we were attacked by someone."
Zhao led the teacher and beat him down."
He Yishan was very irritable. He clenched his fists and waved in the air, "What else can I do? I can't capture the south wall, and the city gate is also in the hands of others. If you stay, you will be waiting for death. Pull out and tell everyone.
Don't bother us too much, retreat from the north, let's retreat to Guanchi."
Guanchi is in the northeast of Anqing, with less than fifty miles between the two places. Feng Cen felt frightened in his heart and asked cautiously: "Brother He, let's withdraw to Guanchi, okay? The officers and soldiers can reach Guanchi in a blink of an eye.
ah."
"So what? Do you really want to leave the officers and soldiers behind and find a safe place to have a good sleep? Don't forget, King Chuang gave us the task of holding back the officers and soldiers and preventing them from setting up a jam in Chizhou Prefecture." He Yishan
He glared angrily, Chuang Wang didn't have a very good temperament. If he really left the officers and soldiers and escaped alone, Chuang Wang would definitely look at He Yishan's head.
He Yishan is a very bachelor, and since he has decided to withdraw, he will not delay. Zhao Shujiao has limited troops and can only cover the Nancheng area, so he has no choice but to watch the peasant army withdraw.
Fight and flee east.
However, for Zhao Lejiao, it was very satisfying to capture Anqing City. As long as Anqing City is in his hands, the affairs in Chizhou Prefecture are not decided by the peasant army. He can send troops to Chizhou Prefecture at any time and become a farmer.
The enemy stood in the way of the army's retreat to the Central Plains.
At about noon, the main troops of Cao Wenzhao and Qin Liangyu finally arrived at Anqing City. Although Anqing City was captured, Cao Wenzhao did not look relaxed at all. For him, the really difficult thing was still
At the back, the next step is to enter Chizhou Mansion, and that will be a fierce battle. After arriving at the government office, and everyone sat down, Cao Wenzhao said seriously: "Every department should seize the time to rest, and we will set off tomorrow at 10:00. Everyone will pass through Anqing, and strive to arrive within two days.
Jiuhua Mountain."
Wu Sangui was shocked and asked somewhat unwillingly: "General Cao, do you really want to mobilize the entire army? Then Anqing will fall into the hands of the thieves again?" Thinking of the city of Anqing that had just been captured,
If I give it up again, I feel uncomfortable after all.
Cao Wenzhao sighed and explained helplessly: "What is our purpose of taking Anqing City? It is to quickly go to Chizhou Prefecture through Anqing, not to defend Anqing City. Everyone needs to understand one thing, our real goal
He is Gao Yingxiang’s main force.”
At this time, there was no need to shy away. Cao Wenzhao told everyone in detail the plan he had made before. It can be said that this plan is very huge. The entire plan requires the cooperation of Cao Wenzhao, Tie Mo and Xu Hongji.
Completed. Now the elite soldiers of Xuanfu are chasing the main force of the peasant army from behind. Xu Hongji also leads the troops and horses towards Chizhou Prefecture. The rest depends on whether Cao Wenzhao can block the peasant army with his soldiers and horses.
After everything was settled, Anqing City also calmed down. The next day, under the leadership of Cao Wenzhao, all troops went eastward according to the predetermined plan, and entered Chizhou Prefecture not long after. As for the nearby
Cao Wen paid no attention to the nearby Guanchi County. Now, He Yishan, who was in Guanchi, was in a dilemma. On the surface, it seemed to be very beneficial to He Yishan. He could send troops to harass, or he could
Send troops to retake Anqing, and even chase the officers and soldiers deep into the hinterland of Chizhou Prefecture.
However, Cao Wenzhao's army has already entered Chizhou Prefecture, so what's the point of defending Anqing? Send troops to harass? Zhao Shujiao has two thousand Guan Ning cavalry in his hands. If he sends troops to harass, he may eventually be arrested by the officers and soldiers.
Seize the opportunity to fight a good fight.
It seems to be advantageous, but in fact it is passive, but He Yishan does not have much time to think. As Cao Wenzhao's army gets closer and closer to Jiuhua Mountain, the situation in Chizhou Prefecture also becomes clear. Regardless of the outcome,
You have to do something, otherwise, if King Chuang blames you later, you won't even be able to find a reason to defend yourself.
"Pull everyone out, let's chase after Cao Wenzhao's ass and beat him!" He Yishan also got angry. The officers and soldiers can leave Anqing City, and he can leave Guanchi County. He chases the officers and soldiers out of the city, no matter what the odds of winning are.
, in short, fight first and then talk.
Feng Cen strongly disagreed, but he had no choice. He Yishan's considerations were not entirely unreasonable. In order to reduce the responsibility in the future, something must be done. However, sending troops to harass would likely result in many casualties.
Half a day later, He Yishan's troops, who were bent on pursuing, encountered an ambush at the mouth of the Chishui River. Cao Bianjiao had been waiting at the Chishui River for a long time with three thousand soldiers and horses. The area around the Chishui River relied on cavalry maneuvers, and Zhao led Guan Ning under his command.
The cavalry finally had a place to show off. As you can imagine, the result was that He Yishan's troops, who rushed to join the battle, were severely defeated by Cao Bianjiao. With this defeat, He Yishan's plan to delay Cao Wenzhao's army came to an end.
Completely declared ruined.
To the east of Jiuhua Mountain, there is a long official road. Because this road is winding and winding, but it is a must-pass road, it is called the "Jiuqu heart-breaking road" by the locals. What Cao Wenzhao wanted to do was very simple.
That is to say, the army is deployed on the Jiuquchangchang Road, with blockades set up layer by layer.
In Hangzhou Prefecture and Yu Qian County, groups of peasant armies were evacuating the county in a panic. Lin'an City was occupied by the Living King of Hell. Now there is news from Chizhou Prefecture that Cao Wenzhao's army has broken through Anqing City.
, bad news came one after another. At this time, the peasant army was afraid that if it delayed its withdrawal for a while, it would not be able to return to the Central Plains.
Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others had evacuated Yuqian a day ago, and the burden on them was not light. Li Zicheng led his troops and horses at the front. He was thinking of reaching Jiuhua Mountain as soon as possible and eliminating worries, but he hurried and took his time.
, still half a beat too late. As soon as he arrived at Longmen Mountain, he heard news from the other side that Cao Wenzhao led his troops to occupy the official road of Jiuhua Mountain. Now Li Zicheng was not in a hurry to go to Jiuhua Mountain, anyway.
If you want to attack forcefully, it is better to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive before attacking.
This matter was a complete misstep. Before this, neither Gao Yingxiang nor Li Zicheng thought that there would be any danger in Chizhou Prefecture. It was not until later that Li Yan woke everyone up with one sentence.
During the discussion at that time, Li Yan suddenly said that Jiuhua Mountain was the only way to go. If something happened, it would be a big trouble. After hearing Li Yan's words, Niu Jinxing reacted first and immediately urged Gao Yingxiang to send troops to garrison Jiuhua Mountain. But still
It was too late, and then Cao Wenzhao broke through Anqing City and occupied the official road of Jiuhua Mountain. The winding road will become a difficult problem for the peasant army to return to the Central Plains.
On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Wang Yan and others gathered in the southeast of Jiuhua Mountain. At this time, the main force of the peasant army was less than twenty miles away from Cao Wenzhao's army. As long as both sides were willing, they could break out at any time.
A big battle. Cao Wenzhao had more than 30,000 elite troops, and Gao Yingxiang's troops had expanded to a terrifying number of 130,000 after passing through Hangzhou Prefecture and South Zhili. It seemed that there were many troops, but Gao Yingxiang did not dare to act rashly.
.
On the 29th of the first lunar month, the Xuanfu soldiers and horses who were chasing all the way behind started a fierce battle with Liu Zongmin's troops stationed in Wushan. The two sides fought fiercely for a long time. Liu Zongmin was defeated in Wushan and fled towards the Longmen Mountain area. At this time, Tie Mo came down.
An order that everyone could not understand. The Xuanfu ministries stopped their pursuit and stopped at Banbi Village to the west of Wushan Mountain to rest.
