Aren't we saying that the Northern Shanxi Army was brave and good at fighting? How could they be so shameless? They were worse than bandits. When the armies were fighting, they even used family members as shields. But I have to say that this trick was very effective, at least when the bandits on the top of the city moved.
Don't dare to move.
An old man named Zulu waved to the top of the city and said in a hoarse voice, "Na Zhong, go home with dad. We can no longer defend this city. General Li has put everyone in Yinchuan City, and there are no reinforcements."
If we don’t send any troops, we will see you die. Let’s not fight this battle and go home, lest we cannot defend the city and the whole family suffers from exhaustion.”
The words of the old man Zulu were the inner thoughts of these rogue people. Following the voice of the old man Zulu, a series of shouts came to mind in the city. Many rogue soldiers lay on the top of the city and cried. The soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army were also very loyal.
He did not take this opportunity to kill. After being attacked by the families of these rebels, the entire West City was completely in chaos. If the rogue soldiers had a fighting spirit before, but now they have none left. They just want to leave the city and follow their families home.
The leaders panicked. If these soldiers really left, it would be the leaders who would suffer.
"Everyone be quiet, be quiet. This is a trick of the officers and soldiers. We must not leave the city. The officers and soldiers will not let us go if we leave the city." A leader shouted loudly, but unfortunately no one listened to his words. The plan failed, and another incident occurred.
As a result, the leader made a cruel decision and made the stupidest decision. He thought that the people under the city were disturbing the morale of the army, so wouldn't it be enough to kill these people?
Extraordinary moments, extraordinary means. Ordinarily, the leader's idea was correct, but the timing was really wrong. At this time, the rogue soldiers had no hope of defending the city. The appearance of their families only gave them a way to leave the city and go home.
If the two armies were to confront each other under normal circumstances, there would be no problem with the thunder method, but now there is a problem. The leader personally held a longbow and killed the old man Zulu with one arrow. Then he glared and roared, "Who dares to do that again?"
Disturbing the morale of the military is the result."
The thunder method did not scare the soldiers at the top of the city, but had the opposite effect. Soldier Wang Zhong rushed up with red eyes, and immediately started fighting with the leader. It was very lively now. Some private soldiers were fighting with ordinary soldiers, and the Northern Shanxi Army was completely different.
What happened? Hao Ce, who took the lead in killing in the end, was killed, and the Xicheng rogue soldiers quickly opened the city gate. In this way, Chen Yaofeng entered the city openly without any bloodshed. Of course, he did not kill these rogue soldiers as promised. He wanted to
The rogue bandits knew that the Northern Shanxi Army was committed to credibility, and could kill people as well as save others. Of course, Chen Yaofeng still had something to say in his heart, that is, he would not speak of credibility when it was time to not speak of credibility.
Cao Bianjiao's fight was not easy at all. Although he broke through the city gate, he actually fought a fierce battle at the east city gate. From the siege to the capture of the east city, it only took an hour and a half. Cao Bianjiao felt that he was fast enough, so he rode happily
He rode his horse and led his men to rush to the west. Chen Yaofeng was too slow, so let him, Liu, help him. Cao Bianjiao was very happy. He felt that he would definitely win this round, but when he arrived at the west city gate, his whole body
I almost fell off my horse. The west city gate was quiet and there was no trace of fighting at all. The most strange thing was that Chen Yaofeng was sitting leisurely under the city gate and warming himself by the fire. There was also a skewer of barbecue on the fire.
Cao Bianjiao almost thought he had lost his mind. What the hell, how did Chen Yaofeng do it? Although he lost, he had to defeat clearly. Sitting across from him, he inevitably asked questions. After knowing how Chen Yaofeng breached the West City, Cao Bianjiao
He praised sincerely, "Brother Chen, no wonder the commander always said that you are flexible in using your troops. This was evident in today's battle. However, your method is too... too..."
"Hehe, that's a bit shameless. Is there anything I can't say? When I was studying the art of war with the Superintendent, the Superintendent said it himself, as long as we can win and kill fewer people, what does personal dignity mean?" Chen Yaofeng is not stupid at all.
, moved Tie Mo out directly, and now Cao Bianjiao couldn't say anything. If he said it again, wouldn't he even scold the supervisor?
Cao Bianjiao smiled awkwardly and ate the meat skewers. He was very depressed. He was really unconvinced by this defeat. "Brother Chen, is this all we have today? Can a small Chongyang town satisfy you?"
"
After listening to Cao Bianjiao's words, Chen Yaofeng frowned, and then his eyes lit up. He stared at Cao Bianjiao's face and asked with a smile, "Brother Cao, what do you mean?"
"Brother Chen, you are a smart man, do you want me to say it clearly? The Superintendent ordered us to attack Chongyang Town, but he did not say that we can't move forward after we capture Chongyang Town. Now our army's morale is strong, and it is not very good.
You're tired, why not go straight to Huanglong? Why, is Brother Chen a little timid and doesn't dare to go?"
Chen Yaofeng is so powerful after all, how can he stand the contemptuous look in Cao Bianjiao's eyes? Besides, he is also very excited. If he can penetrate directly into the western part of Yinchuan City and strangle the throat of the western part of Yinchuan City, wouldn't it be easy for the governor to capture Yinchuan City next? Chen Yaofeng
They were very excited and very confident, so the two people who were unwilling to be lonely hit it off immediately, exchanged glances, and started taking action.
On that day, as soon as Chongyang Town was captured, tens of thousands of troops rushed towards the Qushui River area. Everyone thought that Cao Bianjiao and Chen Yaofeng were going to capture the remaining rogue soldiers. However, that night, the tens of thousands of troops suddenly turned to the southwest.
Bypass the Qushui River and go straight to Huayuantou in the west of Yinchuan City.
Cao Bianjiao and Chen Yaofeng thought they were smart enough, but their every move had already fallen into Tie Mo's ears. After listening to the scouts' reports, Wang Zuogao, Hai Lanzhu and others looked at each other and smiled.
It's really wild. Wang Zuogao shook his feather fan, shivering all over, but he looked solemn, "Superintendent, the time has come. These two people are full of tricks, and they will most likely be able to capture Yuantou tonight. Next, let's
It’s time to take action.”
Those Huayuantou were originally part of the plan, but we couldn't let anyone know about it. There were so many people, especially the Northern Shanxi Army, that if the plan was leaked, it would be impossible to seize Huayuantou in the shortest possible time. Wang
The left hanging person picked Chen Yaofeng and Cao Bianjiao because they were young and energetic and would not be satisfied with a small Chongyang town. When these two people went to Huayuantou, they would try their best to hide their whereabouts, and other people did not know about them.
Whatever a person wants to do, isn't this the best way to sneak attack?
Wang Zuoguan and Tie Mo showed evil smiles, which was quite gratifying. Liu Guoneng and others secretly curled their lips and said, "Dong", those two melon boys were fooled again. They probably thought they had done something proudly at this moment.
What an earth-shattering event.
In Yinchuan City, a red candle illuminated a little yellowish light. Under the candlelight, Li Zicheng kept hunched over and drank wine. It is said that drinking to drown sorrow makes it worse. It must be Li Zicheng who once had a great dream to conquer the world.
, but now this dream has to be intoxicated with fine wine. The big dream is intoxicating, and you don’t want to wake up when you are drunk!
The Qushui River still flows quietly. This river in the west of Luoyang has not changed after thousands of years. The Sanskrit music of the Reclining Buddha Temple has been endless for a long time. Listening to the Sanskrit music, the young Li Zicheng seemed to have aged more than ten years.
Just when Li Zicheng was planning a southward retreat plan, a tragedy was taking place west of Yinchuan City. Huayuantou guarded the west of Yinchuan City. From Yinchuan City to the Huguang boundary directly, one had to pass through Huayuantou. Originally, such an important position should be sent
It was heavily guarded, but the soldiers and horses in Li Zicheng's hands were really not enough. It was already a luxury to be able to defend Yinchuan City, so how could he hope to defend Huayuantou?
Don't look at Huayuantou, which is very close to Yinchuan City, but today's Huayuantou is simply not comparable to Yinchuan City. It is poor and backward, and the environment is harsh. In the entire Huayuantou, except for the monks, the remaining people are thousands of run-down people, who can defend the city.
There are not even 3,000 elites.
Li Zicheng believed that the officers and soldiers would not take a long way to attack Huayuantou. In any case, if the Northern Shanxi Army had such a large-scale military operation, there should be a response. But Li Zicheng would not have thought that this battle at Huayuantou would be concealed.
Many people, including Liu Guoneng and others, only found out through later guessing that Tie Mo and Wang Zuogao had intended for Chen Yaofeng and Cao Bianjiao to attack Huayuantou.
The night was like water, and an icy cold current enveloped the entire Huayuantou. The low city walls were like the earthen walls of Guanzhong villages and towns. Chen Yaofeng and Cao Bianjiao led their people to hide in a ditch ten miles north of Huayuantou. The sneak attack on Huayuantou was only temporary.
I decided, but I never expected that I would encounter no trouble at all along the way.
At three o'clock in the hour, they felt that time was almost up, so Chen Yaofeng and Cao Bianjiao ordered the march to sneak attack Huayuantou. For ten miles, according to the marching speed of the Northern Shanxi Army, it took less than half an hour. At the beginning of Choushi, many Huayuantou people were still there.
While he was dreaming, he was awakened by the sound of killing on the city wall. This sneak attack by the Northern Shanxi Army was so smooth that even Chen Yaofeng was a little suspicious. The wolf-like soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army climbed onto the wall of Huayuantou City.
, killing those who were watching the night and retreating steadily. Although the bandits in the city organized a counterattack, it was of no avail. In less than half an hour, the Northern Shanxi Army occupied Huayuantou. At the same time, Chen Yaofeng personally led the troops to attack the enemy.
The entire Huayuantou was cleared, and no one who dared to resist was spared. Under the high pressure of the Northern Shanxi Army, the small Huayuantou continued to tremble.
Huayuantou is too close to Yinchuan City. As soon as the battle here ended, Yinchuan City got the news, but what's the use? It's not that Li Zicheng was cruel and refused to support Huayuantou, but not long ago, a large number of Northern Shanxi troops took advantage of the night.
They made a sneak attack on Santu Mountain in the north. The fire of Santu Mountain turned half the sky red. Standing at the top of Yinchuan City, you can see clearly. The Northern Shanxi Army did not stop after capturing Santu Mountain and directly attacked Yinchuan City to the west of Santu Mountain.
To the east is Mozhupo. More than 10,000 elite rebels can be stationed at Mozhupo. With these more than 10,000 elites, Mozhupo is the last dangerous point outside Yinchuan City. If this place is lost again, Yinchuan City will be on the verge of collapse.
Because of the importance of Mozhupo, Li Zicheng left a large number of elites here in order to delay the Northern Shanxi Army.
Mozhu Slope is not very high, but the difficulty lies in the fact that the entire gentle slope is full of pits and pits, making it very unsuitable for large army operations. Forming an array in such a place is no different from seeking death. The Northern Shanxi Army lost its tight formation and also lost its own strength.
Advantage, like ordinary soldiers, attack Mozhu Slope without fear, at least Tie Mo doesn't want to do it so forcefully. Looking at the complex terrain of Mozhu Slope, Tie Mo is quite helpless.
In the temporary military tent, Geng Zhongming and others also stayed in the tent and thought hard. Soon after, Geng Zhongming frowned and said with a cold smile, "Superintendent, there are many dry grasses around this Mozhu Slope. It is impossible to attack a place like this by force."
It's not appropriate, but we don't need to go up. We just need to trap the Tubo people in Mozhupo to death. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Kongming killed Ma Su with tears. What was the reason? Wasn't it because Ma Su put himself to death and was burned by a fire?
A big defeat."
Setting a fire is of course a good idea. How could Tie Mo not think of it? It’s just that he hopes to have a better way. Once a fire is set, not many people on Mozhu Slope will survive. Hey, who was Geng Zhongming in his last life and why did he fight?
I always have trouble with setting fires, and I seem to set fire to them whenever I encounter a problem.
"General Geng, setting fire is a good thing, but I don't want too many casualties. For now, Li Zicheng's people are still of some value."
Tie Mo just said a few words, and Geng Zhongming understood Tie Mo's intention. After hearing this, he smiled, shook his head and said, "Superintendent, you are worried that you will not be able to return before something happens in the north. In fact, there is no need to worry too much."
Don't worry too much, as long as we can attack Yinchuan City and Yinyang City within three days and kill all Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's people, your worries will not be a problem."
He glanced sideways at Geng Zhongming with a look of shock. He always felt that his heart was big enough. Unexpectedly, Geng Zhongming's heart was even wilder. He actually wanted to attack Yinchuan City and Yinyang City in three days. If Yinchuan City is close at hand,
Capturing it is not a problem, but Yin Yang City is still far away. Besides, now that Zhang Xianzhong has a way to frighten the bird, he will run away at the first sign of trouble. Geng Zhongming's idea is very wild, but it is unrealistic to realize it, at least Tie Mo has not thought about it.
After so much, it will be enough to defeat Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.
If Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong could be wiped out so easily, they would not be the same as Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng.
As soon as Yinshi arrived, a huge fire broke out in Mozhupo. The tens of thousands of rogue soldiers guarding Mozhupo were all trapped on the hillside. The humidity was heavy at this time, and the fire mixed with thick smoke smoked out the rogue soldiers on the hillside.
It was quite a disaster. After the fire was extinguished, the rogue soldiers, who had been tortured half to death, suffered a powerful attack from the Northern Shanxi Army. After two hours of fierce fighting, the battle was finally resolved at the beginning of Sishi.
One night, Huayuantou was lost, Santu Mountain was lost, and now even Mozhupo was gone. News flew into Yinchuan City like a snowflake, but unfortunately it was all bad news. Now Li Zicheng has become numb. No matter what kind of news,
He took it all indifferently. Now that he was at this point, what else was there to be afraid of?
