Although what Ma Long guessed was not entirely correct, it was not far off. Tie Mo did have this intention. As evening fell, the cold wind blew strongly outside Baitu Pass and there was a whistling sound outside the tent. In this environment, in the wild
Only he knew the pain of being stationed there. Tie Mo also felt uncomfortable, but he still ordered to postpone the attack on the city and wait for two days.
Hai Lanzhu was obviously not used to the Lamenian winter, and she caught the wind and cold. Fortunately, it was not too serious. Lying in the man's arms, her red face was particularly clear, and her nose was wrinkled and sore. She asked softly
He said, "What on earth are you thinking? The Qingxi River is just ahead. It's time to make a quick decision at this time. Why did you stop at Baitu Pass? This is not your style. Are you worried that Baitu Pass will take a long time?"
It can't be attacked. If that's the case, it's really unnecessary."
"You, you are still a little impatient. I can attack Shuiyin Mountain without hesitation, but will I stop at Baitu Pass? In fact, the postponement of the attack is just a temporary move." Tie Mo hugged Hailanzhu dotingly on you, and burned the brazier next to you.
He was in full swing, driving away the chill on his body, "The battle on the top of Nushui Mountain reminded me that since Li Zicheng can send a support force, will he continue to increase his troops in Shuiyin Mountain? Although the peasant army suffered losses in the recent battle
It was disastrous, but Li Zicheng's troops were shrinking in the Wuguan area, and one group did not participate much. The force was still very strong. If Li Zicheng sent a large army to ambush near the Qingxi River, it would not be a good thing after all. It would be better to postpone the attack on the city to allow time.
After finding out the situation at Qingxi River, if Li Zicheng really goes out of his way to send troops to open up a way out for Gao Yingxiang, then we will first cripple Li Zicheng's troops and horses, and then turn around to deal with Baituguan. For us, Baituguan is only a matter of time.
problem, then Li Zicheng is the real trouble."
Tie Mo is not worried about Baituguan. With the tyrannical strength of the Northern Shanxi Army, if they attack with all their strength, they may be able to defeat it in one day. The key is whether they can successfully conquer the Qingxi River. Luo Shengmao and others are also famous.
If you don't take strict precautions against them, it's not impossible for the boat to capsize in the sewer. In fact, when you arrive at Baituguan, you are already very close to the Qingxi River. Even if you don't attack Baituguan, it can still stimulate the sensitive heart of the leader of the peasant army. Tie Mo is a
People who pay attention to practical benefits, since they want to eat, they must eat enough of the benefits. Hai Lanzhu smiled and patted Tie Mo, feeling that this guy was too cunning and always had some scheming thoughts. I hope Li Zicheng
It's best not to think too hard, otherwise you'll have to walk away with nothing to eat this time.
Whether Tie Mo is cunning or smart, his calculations are always on point. It is not a secret that the officers and soldiers besieged Baituguan. Now the rebel leaders are all focusing on the situation in the south, especially Li Zicheng and others. Li Zicheng
Not to mention how depressed he is, when things have developed to this point, no matter how stupid he is, he knows that the road ahead will be difficult.
As soon as the officers and soldiers attacked Shuiyin Mountain, Li Zicheng fell into deep thought. It was almost evening, and a military newspaper was placed in front of him. Li Zicheng opened it and read it, and frowned tightly. The pace of the officers and soldiers was really fast.
Li Zicheng did not want Shizhou to fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers. Who would not want to get a share of the vast land and rich resources of the Shizhou Kingdom, especially the Qingxi River Basin. Li Zicheng dreamed of sharing some benefits. The officers and soldiers offered 60,000
The army was directly inserted near Baituguan. There was still an opportunity to take advantage of such a force. After thinking about it, Li Zicheng sent someone to find Zhang Xianzhong. Since the situation in Shizhou was complicated and confusing, it was related to the life and death of the rebels, so Zhang Xianzhong had been hiding in Guozhou to lick his wounds.
He also rushed over.
Soon, Zhang Xianzhong arrived at Li Zicheng's private property. Li Zicheng was very considerate to Zhang Xianzhong and stood at the door to greet him. The two exchanged pleasantries and walked into the hall side by side. Mo Kan just smiled, but it meant that
Zhang Xianzhong temporarily recognized Li Zicheng's status.
After both parties took their seats, Li Zicheng did not hesitate and explained the situation at Baitu Pass in detail. Zhang Xianzhong was extremely smart and heard something in Li Zicheng's words. He lowered his head slightly and said with an uncertain smile, "General Li, don't you think so?"
Do you want to make a last-ditch effort? If you want to take action, Qingxi River is your last chance. After passing Qingxi River, only Shizhou can defend it. However, if we do that, we will not be able to escape, and we will definitely fight with the officers and soldiers."
"Yes, I want to make a final attempt near the Qingxi River. Is Leader Zhang willing to watch Shizhou's interests fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers? I know that you have a bad relationship with King Chuang, but the Qingxi River Basin can support you.
How can we give up so easily with an army of hundreds of thousands?" Li Zicheng pointed to the map on the table and clicked on a certain place, "The misty forest to the east of Qingxi River must not be forgotten by Leader Zhang. This jungle is vast and there are often rains in winter.
If we make good use of the dense fog, we can use a small number of troops to hold back the large army of officers and soldiers, but I don’t know how many people Leader Zhang can send."
Li Zicheng obviously didn't want to give Zhang Xianzhong a chance to refuse. Zhang Xianzhong smiled lightly without any anger, but raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "It is not impossible to block the officers and soldiers in the misty forest, but we want half of the interests of Qingxi River."
After listening to Zhang Xianzhong's unkind words, Li Zicheng frowned in displeasure. Half of the benefits of Qingxi River would be equivalent to pulling out a tooth from the tiger's mouth. Once Zhang Xianzhong took away half of the benefits, it would be equivalent to occupying an important piece of land in the northern part of Shizhou.
, this is not a matter of land. In the future, the flow of rebel supplies from north to south will depend on Zhang Xianzhong's face. Zhang Xianzhong is really ambitious. Li Zicheng thought for a long time and decided to agree. No matter how difficult Zhang Xianzhong is, he can't compare to the living king of hell in front of him. Li Zicheng
Being able to rise quickly in troubled times and become a hero of a generation is certainly not a wasted reputation. He can afford to take things up and let them go, at least on the surface there is no trace of dissatisfaction. Even Zhang Xianzhong deeply admires this.
Stretching out his right hand, Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Okay, everything is as Leader Zhang said, but for this battle in the misty forest, Leader Zhang must bring out at least 10,000 troops."
"Very good, General Li is quick to speak. It's a deal." Zhang Xianzhong gave Li Zicheng a slap in the face very cheerfully, which was regarded as a verbal agreement. Zhang Xianzhong was so bold for a reason. In fact, he didn't want to see the interests of Qingxi River handed over to him.
The officers and soldiers had already prepared their troops and horses. Zhang Xianzhong was so cheerful, which made Li Zicheng feel a little guilty, and he didn't know whether today's decision was good or bad.
The territory of Shizhou seemed peaceful, but beneath the calm there was an undercurrent. There was still no movement at Baitu Pass, but Yichuan City hundreds of miles away was already full of swords and guns. After a long struggle, Gao Yingxiang finally ordered to occupy this place.
An important city in northern Shaanxi.
It's a pity that after the peasant army captured Yichuan City, no matter whether it was Cao Wenzhao or Chen Qiyu, there was no change in the deployment of troops, and they almost allowed the peasant army to toss around Yichuan. Now Gao Yingxiang gave up a little, and he had to
Following Niu Xiance's advice, he began to mobilize troops and horses to attack Xi'an City in a detour. Gao Yingxiang was so unwilling. Attacking Xi'an City became the rebels' last hope. Whether Xi'an City could be captured was still unknown, but Yanshuihe had to fight.
Nearly 70,000 German troops left Yichuan City and launched a full-scale attack on the Yanshui River defense line. The garrison stationed by the river immediately felt the huge pressure. In order to deal with the threat of the peasant army, Aqige also came to Xi'an City and since Yanshui River
The Battle of Shuihe started, and military reports from all parties were sent to the city like snowflakes. This was the first time Aqige had commanded such a huge battle, and he was inevitably a little nervous. "How about the western defense line? If there is a problem, send Gu Suha immediately."
The soldiers and horses went up."
"Princess, don't worry, the western defense line is as solid as Mount Tai, but the attack of the bandits is very fierce. These bandits are so fierce that they dare to swim from the river on such a cold day." Saito said this, unable to hide the fear on his face.
Aqige was also worried. I was afraid that the rogue bandits were also aware of their situation, so they fought extremely hard in the Yanshui River battle. In any case, our troops on the Yanshui River front line were far inferior to the rogue bandits. If we just fight head-on, it may not be possible.
What a good thing, "Is there any movement in Hanyin? People pay attention to Ziwu Valley and Chencang Road. As soon as the bandits enter Hanzhong and attack Xi'an Prefecture, immediately cooperate with the army of the Supervisor to block the exit. Send a message to Commander Cao and General Hei Yunlong,
When an opportunity arises, don't hesitate."
Although Aqige is a woman, her words are very fierce. She has already made plans for the next step before the Yanshui River is over.
Saito sighed with some shame. Although this princess was slightly inexperienced, her courage was really not inferior to that of a man. The battle in Yanshui River was very fierce. Neither Lu Weiliang nor He Renlong had the same courage at this time.
They kept their hands and tried their best to repeatedly attack the Yanshui River defense line. Since the boats were taken away by the Northern Shanxi Army in advance, the rogue bandits could only swim across the river. In the winter, the river was wide, and many rogue soldiers' hands and feet became numb halfway through the swim.
, drowned directly in the river.
Facing the roaring rain of arrows, the road ahead was full of blood. The bandits paid a heavy price and still failed to reach the other side. Lu Wei's conscience was bleeding and he walked around anxiously, "He Renlong, you can't be like this."
The fight continues. If the fight continues like this, even if Yanshui River is captured, how many people will be left in the end? Don't forget, our target is Xi'an. Damn it, are the officers and soldiers made of iron? Now, now
Not even taking a step back.”
In such a fierce battle, the rogue bandits suffered heavy injuries, and the officers and soldiers guarding the river bank were not much better. The rogue soldiers rushed forward desperately, especially the soldiers and horses guarding the bridge. In the face of repeated attacks by the rogue bandits, more than 2,000 soldiers and horses were lost.
Corpses lay on both sides of the stone bridge. The cold wind passed by, leaving behind stiff blood clots. War is always cruel, and kind people will only fall sooner.
He Renlong also saw it and was anxious in his heart, "Stone Bridge, yes, it is a stone bridge. As long as we can capture the stone bridge, our soldiers and horses will continue to reach the other side. How much kerosene is there in the army?
I don’t believe it if they all throw themselves on the stone bridge and have people rush towards it with cans of kerosene, these officers and soldiers don’t know how to be afraid.”
He Renlong is a complete lunatic. He advocates violence and the methods he comes up with are more direct. However, Lu Weiliang has no good method at the moment. He can only try it first. A total of 500 rogue death squads were gathered together. These everyone
Holding a can of kerosene in his hand and looking at these young faces, He Renlong felt a little unbearable. He didn't know how many of these people would survive. "Brothers, the officers and soldiers trying their best to stop us shows that we are right."
, as long as we capture the city of Xi'an, we can transfer the officers and soldiers from the south. By then, the officers and soldiers will inevitably be in chaos, and the crisis in Shizhou can also be resolved. We must take down this stone bridge and rush for ours.
Life, take down the stone bridge, we will be invincible, kill!"
He Renlong pulled out his broad sword, and the weak sunlight sent out waves of coldness. Hundreds of rogue soldiers were infected, and they all screamed. It was still the stone bridge, and the rogue bandits once again organized people to rush over, but this time, the guards guarding the bridge were
The soldiers clearly felt something different. These people were all holding cans, like a group of mad dogs desperate for their lives. General Yao Bo felt his heart tremble and woke up suddenly, "It's a fire oil can. Quick, everyone get back."
Retreat, the musketeers cover the attack, don't let these mad dogs rush over."
Yao Bodang could more or less guess what the bandits had planned. These people wanted to die together and burned a path with kerosene. No one would have thought that the bandits would be so crazy and they all evacuated quickly. Unfortunately, the fire
The gunner's ammunition had already been used up, and it was impossible to form a dense rain of bullets. Several hundred rogue soldiers rushed over after paying the price of hundreds of people.
With a bang, a crisp sound, the earthen pot burst, and kerosene splashed onto many people, followed by rockets. The fire began to spread at the bridge end, and many soldiers became balls of fire and jumped into the cold river desperately. The smoke was thick
Rolling, screaming, and soon, the smell of barbecue filled the air. It is true that the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army are brave and good at fighting, but when they have encountered such a terrifying attack method, they can't help but be suppressed. A large number of rogue soldiers began
Rushing over from the bridge, Yao Bodang roared unwillingly, "Retreat, quickly retreat to the rear defense line, don't be surrounded by rogue bandits."
At this time, Yao Bodang knew very well that the stone bridge could no longer be defended. The bandits relied on an astonishing suicide attack to break through in large numbers, and they would definitely be unstoppable. Yao Bodang's remaining soldiers began to retreat to the rear, and along with them
The defense line of Yanshui River was also affected. Who would have thought that the first hole to appear was the Shiqiao defense line with sufficient troops. He Renlong led his people to attack along the Shiqiao defense line, and the entire Yanshui River defense line began to become full of holes. Guerrilla attacks
General Wang Benlie was caught off guard. When he saw Yao Bo, he kicked him directly, "What on earth did you do? Three thousand soldiers and horses rushed to support the Shiqiao defense line. You can't defend it. The princess is watching from behind."
Here, where do you want me to put my face?"
Yao Bodang looked humiliated when he was scolded, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "General Wang, give me another three thousand men, and I will lead my men to drive these rogues and crazy dogs away."
Yao Bodang did not defend himself. He should not have lost the defense area even for thousands of reasons. Wang Benlie shook his head directly. He did not want Yao Bodang to die in the hands of rogue bandits.
