Well, it was another knife, which also brought heavy casualties to the reunited formation, but this time because the troops were not too concentrated, the number of losses was reduced to more than 300 people. Finally, after paying a heavy price, Li Yuanqing led the soldiers
Rushed to the high ground. At this time, Zhao Lin had no other choice but to fight. Peasant army soldiers continued to pour in from both sides, hoping to defeat the invading enemy with their vigor. However, Li Yuanqing and his soldiers
The horses were already red-eyed, like a group of manic wild beasts, shaking this towering land. Li Yuanqing was invincible, starting from the top of the gentle slope, and kept tearing open, and the subsequent soldiers and horses continued to surge up, and the rogue bandits slowly increased in strength.
The disadvantages became apparent. Faced with the crazy attack of the officers and soldiers, the rogue bandits could not resist at all. Rows of peasant soldiers died on the road blocking the enemy. When the musketeers' positions were disrupted, the rogue bandits completely collapsed.
There were chaotic battles everywhere near the highland city wall. Zhao Lin sighed in his heart. He suddenly felt that God had abandoned Kypros. Otherwise, why would the officers and soldiers not be afraid if several knives were killing them continuously? After repelling one person, Zhao Lin yelled at Luo Tao and others.
Shouting, "Retreat quickly. Before we are caught by the officers and soldiers, everyone should withdraw towards Zhulin Pass and use Zhulin Pass to further consume the strength of the officers and soldiers."
Luo Tao and others could not hold on any longer. After receiving the order, they fled to the southwest as fast as flying. In order to cross the gentle slope, Li Yuanqing was very tired and fought for half an hour. He was already exhausted and had no energy to go.
Chasing Slavic deserters. Moreover, Li Yuanqing knew that the most important thing was the high ground of Tianzhu Mountain. Once at the high ground, the entire triangular defense system collapsed, and it was only a matter of time before Zhulin Pass and Manchuanli were captured.
The battle at Tianzhu Mountain came to an end. Li Yuanqing was covered in blood, with his legs stretched out, leaning on a big rock like a dead man, breathing heavily and huffing and puffing. He didn't want to move now, and just wanted to have a good sleep.
I opened my eyes, and tears slowly filled my eyes. I am afraid that today's scene will never be forgotten in my life. Thousands of people lost their lives in front of my eyes at once. It was a nightmare scene.
Li Jiuzheng came to the Tianzhu Mountain Highland Castle. When the post-war statistics were delivered, Li Jiuzheng's heart began to bleed. Overall, he was not satisfied with this battle at all. Except for getting the Tianzhu Mountain Highlands, he was completely defeated in other aspects.
In order to storm the Tianzhu Mountain highlands, a total of nearly a few thousand soldiers were killed, while the rogue bandits only lost more than 3,000 people.
In the dark wooden house, there was a musty smell. Li Jiucheng sat on the stool with his head lowered and his hands trembling slightly. Before this, who could have thought that the highlands of Tianzhu Mountain would be so difficult to attack, with more than 4,000 soldiers, plus
The number of injured people, and the direct loss of combat power was close to ten thousand. A small gentle slope actually cost tens of thousands of casualties. The tragedy caused by three large knives was still vivid in his mind. Li Jiucheng thought of the earth-shattering battle of Dongjiang Town.
How long has it been since I felt that distressed feeling? As a general in command, Li Jiucheng has long been accustomed to success and failure, but he cannot accept such tragic casualties. Those soldiers died tragically, and he, Li Jiucheng, must bear a great responsibility.
Responsibility, if he had planned better, if he was not so impatient, he could have minimized the casualties. With a bang, Li Jiucheng clenched his fists and hit the stool hard, and the stool groaned in pain.
Such heavy casualties will inevitably affect the next plan, which is what Li Jiucheng is ashamed of. Li Yuanqing has been guarding outside with everyone. Although he finally captured the Tianzhu Mountain high ground, no one can laugh out loud. Really speaking
Get up, this is a failed battle. Hearing the dull sound inside, Li Yuanqing rushed in holding his helmet. The castle was a little damp, and he only saw Li Jiucheng huddled on the side of the table, looking a little lonely. Li Yuanqing could
Feeling the feeling of killing all, watching so many brothers die in front of their eyes, who can feel better, but Li Yuanqing doesn't think it is Li Jiucheng's fault. Speaking of it, he still lacks enough understanding of the bandits, "Why do you blame yourself?
No one would have thought that such a weird knife would appear, and I believe the Superintendent will not blame you. For the current plan, you need to keep your mood in order. There are still a large number of remnant soldiers active in Manchuanli and Zhulin Pass. No,
If we capture these two places, even if we occupy Tianzhu Mountain, we will not be stable."
Li Yuanqing hoped that Li Jiuzheng could formulate the next plan as soon as possible, but Li Jiuzheng did not listen. He shook his head and put the information in his hand on the table, "No, tell Chen Yaofeng and those people that no one is allowed to attack the bamboo forest without the order of the general."
Guan. Who dares to mess around? Military law is engaged, do you hear me?" Li Jiucheng glared at Li Yuanqing with warning. He knew these young people too well. Not to mention their youth and arrogance, they were all stimulated in Tianzhu Mountain.
He had enough energy to kill the rogue bandits. Li Jiucheng thought more about it. He attacked hard for several days in a row. His soldiers spent most of their energy and it was difficult to support a new round of offensive.
After experiencing the Tianzhu Mountain battle, Li Jiuzheng no longer wanted to have more unnecessary casualties. Li Jiuzheng took a longer-term view. He only had so many soldiers and horses under his command, and one less person died. This is not Xuanhua Mansion, let alone Zhang Bei, no
Reinforcements may be available at any time. They seem powerful, but once the losses are serious, Wang Ziyong, who is entrenched in northern Shaanxi, will definitely take the opportunity to counterattack. In the territory of Shaanxi, everyone is more like an outsider than a rogue bandit.
Li Yuanqing couldn't understand. He stared and clenched his sword tightly, "Why can't we attack Zhulin Pass? Now the rogue bandits are like a group of frightened birds. The remaining soldiers in Zhulin Pass cannot pose a threat to us at all."
"Don't you understand my order?" Li Jiucheng stood up and Li Yuanqing tried to argue a few words. Li Jiucheng raised his hand and threw it directly on Li Yuanqing's face. The blow was so fast and hard that it made Li Yuanqing's head spin and blood bleed from the corner of his mouth.
Li Jiucheng looked at Li Yuanqing coldly, his eyes like knives, "I'm not kidding you, brother Yuanqing, if we weren't all old brothers from Liaodong, I wouldn't have said so many words to you. Huh, are you?
Do you think that the roving bandits lost Tianzhu Mountain and their morale is low? Huh, don’t think about it carefully. Although we captured Tianzhu Mountain, the roving bandits also retreated very promptly. To a certain extent, Tianzhu Mountain was abandoned by the roving bandits on their own initiative.
.In Tianzhu Mountain, we encountered several weird knives, so what do you think is waiting for us at Zhulin Pass? Or do you naively think that the bandits are completely unprepared? That’s it,
Think about it carefully, if you insist on attacking Zhulin Pass eagerly, not even General Geng, let alone me, will be able to protect you."
Li Jiuzheng's fierce slap in the face finally woke up Li Yuanqing. Faced with Li Jiuzheng's fierce gaze, he did not dare to make a mistake. He quickly lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Brother is teaching me that I am reckless."
"Yuan Qing, I understand how you feel, but I don't want you to ruin this place. Go back and think about it carefully. Don't let everyone down." Waving his hands, Li Jiucheng turned around with a heavy heart. Li Yuanqing gritted his teeth with shame on his face.
Turned around and left. Outside the wooden house, Chen Yaofeng and others were a little stunned when they saw the clear slap marks on Li Yuanqing's face, but no one dared to ask more questions. It seems that the attack on Zhulin Pass tomorrow has been scrapped. It seems that General Li is very angry. Chen Yaofeng is glad.
It is not you who goes in. If you go in and ask for an expedition, you may not be able to escape the fate of being slapped.
On March 25th of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Tie Mo, Wang Zuogao and others entered Tianzhu Mountain from Shangzhou. Although the news of the victory in Tianzhu Mountain had already reached Shangzhou, Tie Mo did not know the specific situation of the battle.
I understand, so after arriving at Tianzhu Mountain, the first thing I did was to listen to Li Jiucheng's detailed account. When I learned the number of casualties on both sides, I couldn't help but be surprised, especially those large knives.
It was a reminder to Tie Mo. The bandits had been operating in Shaanxi for more than ten years and they must have their own strengths. Hai Lanzhu did not expect that a highland in Tianzhu Mountain would cause such great losses to her side. Of course, she and Tie Mo
No one would blame Li Jiucheng. Soldiers are unpredictable and water is unpredictable. Unexpected things may happen on the battlefield at any time. Even though Li Jiucheng has been on the battlefield for a long time, he cannot be comprehensive. "It seems that if you want to win Zhulin Pass,
We must plan carefully, if it continues to be like Tianzhu Mountain, I'm afraid we will be the ones who suffer."
Wang Zuoguan somewhat blamed himself. As the military advisor who was behind the planning, he was derelict in his duty if he failed to control the risks. After a while, he spoke, "Superintendent, I don't think we should attack Zhulin Pass directly.
Judging from the situation in the Tianzhu Mountain highlands, the bandits must have made sufficient preparations in the Zhulin Pass area. As long as we follow the path the bandits have planned, there will definitely be no benefits. Since the bandits put most of their energy in the bamboo forest
Pass, then we simply don’t attack Zhulin Pass, and then attack Manchuanli, which is relatively insignificant. After we capture Manchuanli, we can also take a detour and go north. By then we can completely abandon the Tianzhu Mountain highlands and look at Zhulin Pass.
Whether the bandits are moved or not. If they are moved, we can fire a feint to surround and annihilate the bandits who have seized the Tianzhu Mountain highlands. If they are not moved, we can continue to chase Zhang Xianzhong's main force north. In short, as long as we ignore the bamboo forest
If we pass, the rogue bandits will have nothing to do with us."
Wang Zuogao's idea is not a bad one. If you set up tens of thousands of traps and put tens of thousands of taels of gold in them and ignore them, there is nothing you can do. However, Hai Lanzhu frowned tightly. She
The mind is extraordinary, and no strategy is perfect. There are always flaws of one kind or another, and Wang Zuogai's plan also carries huge risks. "Mr. Wang, although this plan is good, have you ever thought about it?
If we are defeated and lose the Tianzhu Mountain high ground, wouldn't it mean that our retreat will be cut off?"
Tie Mo had a different idea. He raised his hand to signal and said with a calm smile, "I think Mr. Wang must have other ideas. At any time, risks and benefits are directly proportional."
Wang Zuogua smiled and nodded. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Hai Lanzhu, but she was a woman after all. In terms of courage, she was always somewhat different from men. After pondering for a moment, Wang Zuogua explained in a leisurely manner.
He said, "Madam, you are right in thinking about it, but don't forget that this is Shaanxi. Wang Ziyong and those people are silent on the surface, but it is unknown what they are thinking in their hearts. Therefore, in this land,
, we can only win, and only by maintaining a victorious attitude will we be safer. Once we fail, bandits will pop up anytime and anywhere to take advantage of the situation. If we really lose the battle, then what if we own Tianzhu Mountain? What about Yezhuping?
?What about Shangzhou? We cannot lose. As long as we lose, any place will become our Tianzhu Mountain, because this is the territory of the rogue bandits. In this case, why worry so much? We have an absolute advantage, so why bother?
If we are worried about our future, why can't we complete our efforts in one battle and completely defeat the bandits? If we still have to look forward and backward when we have an absolute advantage, then how can we talk about suppressing the bandits?"
Hailanzhu raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, snorted coldly, and rolled her sharp eyes at Wang Zuoguan, "Mr. Wang is really full of pride. Are you saying that I am timid and fearful and have no courage?"
Wow, Wang Zuogao grinned in embarrassment, "Well... Madam, please calm down. I'm speaking freely. That's not what I meant. Isn't this an explanation for the supervisor?"
"Go away" Tie Mo watched with relish. Hearing Wang Zuoguan's shameless defense, he immediately glared and became furious. Wang Zuoguan, as if he was about to receive amnesty, turned around and ran away. When Wang Zuoguan disappeared, Hai Lanzhu
Cai couldn't help but shook his head, "Superintendent, although Mr. Wang's tone is a bit arrogant, there is some truth in it. As long as we deal with it properly, there is no possibility of losing this battle. However, are you sure you are so anxious? At least for now, we
But we haven't made preparations for the final decisive battle yet, and the deployment of supplies also takes time. The Nu family has already urged the rear to transfer supplies, but the supplies have to be sent via a detour from Shanxi, which will take longer."
Tie Mo is also considering these issues. At present, not all the soldiers and horses of the various ministries are concentrated. Although the soldiers and horses near Shangzhou have entered the Tianzhu Mountain area one after another, these people are mainly local soldiers and horses from Shaanxi. They seem to be large in number, but
They can't take on the important task at all. It's okay to let them fight with the wind. Once the attack is thwarted and fails, these people will definitely defect immediately. As Hai Lanzhu said, the time is not ripe to start a big war, but this
It does not mean that Wang Zuoguan's words are wrong. He can pretend to be a decisive battle and put the remaining soldiers of Zhulin Pass in an embarrassing situation. "No matter what, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. In short, we can't do the stupid thing of storming Zhulin Pass."
of."
"Well, since you said so, then the slave family doesn't care about it." Hai Lanzhu just stood up and thought of something again. He reached out and grabbed Tie Mo's shoulder and twisted it hard. "I forgot to ask you, how did Elizabeth arrange it?"
, you'd better take good care of her, it's fine if you want to take her in, but don't let her hang out in front of me all the time, otherwise... hum..."
