When Mo Yulin rushed to the Henan Governor's Office, Huang Ting'ai, the forward of the Zheng Army of the Later Li Dynasty, was only thirty miles away. Fortunately, Mo Dunrang did not struggle after receiving the order, let alone resist, but just sighed and left.
He quickly handed over his military power and left, giving him the opportunity to deploy city defenses.
This Fuli city is not big. If we want to make an analogy, it may be smaller than Xinzheng County, Gao Pragmatic's hometown. It is only about two-thirds of the size of Xinzheng County.
And this is just a comparison of size. Since Xinzheng County is Gao's hometown, the Gao family even contributed money and effort to help the county repair the city wall. In terms of the strength of the city's defense, it completely destroyed this small town.
Mo Yulin's mission was to defend this small city. The only thing he relied on was the 30,000-strong Southern Expeditionary Army under his command that had just been put under his command and whose morale was extremely low.
The Southern Expedition has long been a joke, and the Battle of Ning Binh has broken their backs. Now their real wish is to escape—to escape back to Thang Long!
As for what to do after escaping back to Thang Long, no one has thought about it.
Mo Yulin summoned all officers from more than a hundred households to cheer them up, and his method of boosting morale was extremely simple. He only said one sentence: "The emperor has invited reinforcements from Guangxi. In ten days at most, there will be 100,000 tomorrow's soldiers."
He will come and fight alongside us!"
After being stunned for a moment, everyone fell into ecstasy!
Daming has taken action! Daming helps us! We are saved!
But after a period of ecstasy, everyone began to doubt: Is this true?
Mo Yulin said calmly: "If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's will, how could King Ying revive the dragon at this time?"
Oh...that's what happened!
Now everyone believed it - there was no way not to believe it. If it hadn't been for the Ming Dynasty, how could the emperor have taken away King Ying's military power because of "that incident" in Ningping? How could King Ying have aged so happily?
Just leave honestly?
It seems that there is really hope this time, and the prerequisite is to guard the mansion for ten days!
After all, they are the elite of the Mo family. Although their backbone has been broken by the battle, they can't defeat Zheng Ni. If they only hold the house for ten days, they can still do it!
Facts have proved that as long as this army has confidence, their combat effectiveness is not very bad. At least they can do a good job in defending the city. Huang Tingai's fierce attack with the victorious army was abruptly defeated by this "Great Tomorrow Soldier"
The Mo army, inspired by "support", repelled seven times.
What's even more amazing is that after repelling Huang Ting'ai's troops who defeated King Ying seven times, the morale and confidence of this army began to recover. They found that Zheng's army's combat effectiveness was actually the same as before. Compared with themselves, it was also
It's just half-assed, nothing special.
If Zheng Song's army had not arrived at the gate of the city, Mo Yulin even felt that his military morale was useful and he would have been able to go out of the city and fight Huang Tingai head-on!
However, now that the main force of Zheng Song's army has arrived, Mo Yulin has no intention of leaving the city to fight. Anyway, Gao Antai's order to him is to defend the mansion and Henan. Why should he risk defeat to fight with Zheng Jun?
?
Besides, judging from Gao Jintai's intentions, it seems possible that the Southern Expeditionary Army will be handed over to him... His own strength will not be squandered easily.
After Zheng Song arrived at Fuli City, he also launched a fierce attack. Moreover, his main force was different from Huang Ting'ai's troops. His firepower was more intense, because in addition to the native cannons that were a hundred years out of date, he also had Fo Lang.
Machine cannon!
With his future and even his life and fortune at stake, Mo Yulin was not too frightened to accept the challenge just because he saw the Folan cannon. He not only arranged the defenses calmly and calmly, but even went to the tower in person to check on the enemy's situation.
He discovered a very critical problem, or two: there were not many Folan cannons in the Zheng army, only about twenty or so, and... they seemed smaller than the Folan cannons in the Ming army.
If you want to compare the Fo Lang machine heavy artillery on the fleet outside Thang Long City, it is even worse.
Mo Yulin was relieved, and just handed over the defense task, and sent five messengers to report the discovery to Shenglong - Zheng Jun's fighting skills were probably learned from China, and he came to Mo Yulin to surround him.
Take the north road for him to escape.
It's a pity that Mo Yulin was determined to eat the weight this time and insisted on carrying it in the house to fight with them. There was no way he would escape!
Zheng Jun seemed to be very anxious, and did not wait much, and quickly launched an offensive. However, Zheng Jun seemed to cherish their Folan cannon, and first launched two rounds of the old-fashioned ant attack to confirm the long-range strike capability on the tower.
After it was very weak, the cannon was pushed forward.
A booming burst of artillery fire punched dozens of holes in the low city wall of Fuli City, but it was not enough to destroy the city wall - this was caused by the cannonballs not being big enough, because the twenty Fran cannons were actually
Infantry artillery is a field artillery, not a siege artillery.
After Zheng Jun fired several rounds of artillery, he also discovered this problem and withdrew the artillery again.
However, the Zheng army did not continue to forcibly attack the city. Instead, they withdrew their troops three miles and set up camp.
Mo Yulin did not relax his vigilance, and seriously arranged the task of preparing for night attacks. However, after that night, Zheng Jun did not attack at night, which made Mo Yulin a little disappointed - it was difficult to attack at night these days, and he planned to take advantage of Zheng's army.
The army attacked at night to give them some color.
On the second day, according to Mo Yulin's prediction, Zheng Jun should launch a large-scale attack and launch a fierce attack. However, something unexpected happened. Zheng Jun actually broke camp and began to retreat!
Mo Yulin was stunned at first, and then thought that the main force of the highly pragmatic Ming army had gone south. Zheng Jun learned the news from the scouts, so Zheng Song withdrew his troops.
But after thinking about it, it seemed that it shouldn't be done. The Ming army would definitely go south. Mo Yulin believed that Gao Jingshi would not lie to him, but he didn't think Gao Jingshi would be so anxious.
If he had been pragmatic and would not be in a hurry, he could have let Zheng Jun and Mo Jun have a good fight in Henan. Anyway, this battle is very important to both sides, and no one can spare any effort.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. No matter which side suffers the loss, it is not a bad thing for him. It can even be said that losing both sides is the best outcome. In this case, how could he come so quickly?
But Zheng Jun did retreat. Mo Yulin sent out detective horses to investigate carefully and found that Zheng Jun not only retreated, but also moved in a hurry. He didn't even send troops behind to cover the battlefield. Instead, the entire army headed south.
, without looking back.
There is something wrong with this situation... Mo Yulin thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Could it be that Ruan Juan succeeded in his surprise attack on Thanh Hoa?
Oh, it may be a bit difficult to "succeed". Thanh Hoa is the base camp of the Zheng army and the place where the Li Dynasty settled down. Even if Zheng Song's army went out to fight, there must have been enough troops left to guard it. After all, when King Qian was there, he often carried out
This kind of frontal attack and surprise attack by sea, Qinghua City is only twenty or thirty miles away from the mouth of the Zhujiang River (not the Pearl River in Guangdong and Guangxi). If we did not maintain sufficient strength at ordinary times, King Qian would have succeeded in a surprise attack back then. How could there be any more
These things now?
Then, there is only one possibility. Ruan Juan is indeed attacking Thanh Hoa, maybe he is approaching, maybe he has already started attacking. In short, Thanh Hoa is threatened - Thanh Hoa is more important to the Li Dynasty than Thang Long is to Mo
Due to the importance of the DPRK, once Thanh Hoa was attacked, Zheng Song would have no choice but to withdraw his troops and return reinforcements.
For the Later Le Dynasty, attacking Thanh Hoa was truly a sure-fire victory!
Of course, there is another possibility that Zheng Song is playing a trick with him to lure the enemy, but that is meaningless. Now he just wants to secure the city of Fuli and win first in front of the high press, and then talk about other things.
, that’s all a thing for another day, there’s no rush at all now.,
Mo Yulin laughed with satisfaction. He first praised the new generals under his command, then waved his hand and said, "Come here and report victory to Shenglong!"
