Chapter 238 Li Zicheng's Siege
Chapter 238 Li Zicheng attacks the city
On October 17, the weather became colder and colder. The officers and soldiers used Xiegu Pass as a cut to capture the Qishan camp and attacked Li Yangchun's troops in the peasant army. Li Yangchun was defeated. With the support of reinforcements, they passed through Fufeng County and fled back to Fengxiang in a hurry. At this time, the officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to capture Fufeng County.
In just three days, the situation in Fengxiang Prefecture underwent earth-shaking changes. The officers and soldiers attacked Fengxiang Prefecture, Qishan, Fufeng and Xigu in a large number of connections, forming a siege against the peasant army in Wugong County. In the current situation, as long as the peasant army is not careful, the peasant army stationed in Wugong County may be wiped out.
Because Wugong County's geographical location is very important, it can be said to be an important rocker for jumping from Fengxiang Prefecture to Xi'an Prefecture. Since the attack on Xi'an Prefecture, half of Gao Yingxiang's troops have been stationed here. If Wugong County is trapped and supplies cannot be delivered, the 60,000 troops around Wugong County will be eaten by the officers and soldiers within half a month. At that time, the officers and soldiers do not need to be beaten, and the peasant army will fall into civil strife.
Sometimes, they were afraid of whatever they were afraid of. After only one day, the officers and soldiers stationed in Fufeng County and Xiegu Pass divided some people and launched a strong attack on the counties. The walls of the county were very short, easy to attack and difficult to defend. In just two hours, the two thousand peasant troops stationed in the county retreated to Wugong County. As a result, the officers and soldiers completely sealed the material supply channel of the peasant army in Wugong County. Now, Gao Yingxiang was completely panicked.
The situation deteriorated too quickly, even if Niu Jinxing had many tricks, he could not handle it. Half of his troops were gathered near Wugong County. If this force was swallowed up by the officers and soldiers, it would be a heavy loss. Gao Yingxiang could not let these troops be buried in Wugong County, but now the supplies cannot be delivered, so what can you do?
Sitting in his seat for a long time, Gao Yingxiang patted the handle heavily and said sternly: "It seems that there is no good idea now. Wugong County is incredible. We can only ask Hua Xiaorong to lead troops to evacuate Wugong County. We will cooperate with the attack on Fufeng County, open a gap, and respond to the tens of thousands of brothers withdrawing."
Gao Yingxiang thought that his approach was very safe. Tens of thousands of brothers in Wugong County, plus the people he sent to attack Fufeng County, wouldn’t it be a handful? As long as a gap is opened and tens of thousands of people withdraw, all the efforts of the officers and soldiers will be wasted. As long as the troops gather in their hands, can the world still trap him Gao Yingxiang?
Unexpectedly, Niu Jinxing, who had not spoken, immediately stood up and bowed anxiously, "King of Breaking, you must not!"
"Well? Why not? Are you watching those tens of thousands of brothers trapped to death by the soldiers?" Gao Yingxiang was puzzled and even angry. Niu Jinxing didn't care about this and smiled bitterly: "King of Chuang, think about it, the officers and soldiers were so troubled by Fengxiang Mansion, and the tens of thousands of soldiers under Yang He's command had any movement? He was waiting for the weak defense of Wugong County, and the army would attack."
"And King of Chuang, have you forgotten how Wang Ziyong was defeated a few days ago? The cavalry of Tuobuhua was stationed in the eastern part of Qishan, and stopped and was probably waiting for the opportunity to kill him. Once the troops of Wugong County stayed under Fufeng City for too long, the situation would be unimaginable once Tuobuhua arrived... Unless the cavalry of Tuobuhua was willing to send our cavalry to entangle Tuobuhua..."
"This" Gao Yingxiang thought about it carefully and suddenly became cold from the beginning. Wang Ziyong defeated Sanshui County, and in the final analysis, he was defeated by the elite cavalry. He was the elite cavalry that crisscrossed the Mongolian grasslands. Not only was the skillful bow and horse, but there was also a heavy cavalry that killed people without blinking. How terrible this cavalry is, Gao Yingxiang had personally seen it.
If the soldiers of Wugong County cannot take Fufeng County in half a day, they will become the souls of this cavalry sword. When Gao Yingxiang thinks of the scene of a tiger entering the flock of sheep, his heart trembles.
Indeed, I also raised a cavalry in the northwest during this period, but this cavalry only had 2,000 people and had never experienced actual combat. How could it be a rival to Tuobuhua? I finally raised a cavalry, but before I grew up, I fought with Tuobuhua's elite cavalry. Gao Yingxiang could never do this kind of behavior of seeking death.
Gao Yingxiang really couldn't bear to leave it. If he didn't raise cavalry, he would never know how precious the cavalry was. It is no exaggeration to say that a cavalry was topped with ten infantry. The training required for cavalry training requires war horse supplies, training time, and manpower, which is unimaginable. Infantry, just recruit people and give them a meal, but cavalry is not good, and war horses are even rarer.
If you cannot take Fufeng County in time, you will not only face the threat of the Tubuhua cavalry, but the consequences will be unimaginable if Wugong County is taken down by the officers and soldiers again. In this way, the troops in Wugong County are really unable to move, and you can only mobilize troops from Fengxiang.
"Mr. Niu, what are your tricks in the current situation?"
Niu Jinxing smiled bitterly and sighed, "Miao Ce is not a fool, it's just a fool, it depends on whether the king of Chuang is willing to let go. Now Qishan has been lost, Fufeng County and Xiegu Pass are also occupied by officers and soldiers. Our idea of attacking Xi'an Prefecture has completely failed. In this case, the stationed troops in Duyang Mountain have also lost their meaning. Since this is the case, it is better to withdraw Duyang Mountain's troops. Not only do we not have to worry about the officers and soldiers threatening Duyang Mountain, but we also deliberately set up an additional elite army to attack Fufeng County. Then, we will take Li Tianwang as the general and lead heavy troops to prevent the official road between Qishan and Fufeng. As long as we block the raid from the cavalry of Tuobuhua's troops, we can attack Fufeng County with peace of mind."
"Escape from Duyang Mountain?" Gao Yingxiang murmured to himself. To be honest, he really couldn't bear to leave Duyang Mountain. He tried his best to attack Duyang Mountain and killed many brothers. But Niu Jinxing's words made a lot of sense. Next, the hope of attacking Xi'an Prefecture is slim. Why do you still occupy Duyang Mountain? Become a target for officers and soldiers?
"Retreat, order Li Zicheng to lead his troops out of Duyang Mountain and turn to attack Fufeng County. In addition, he will find a way to send a letter to Wugong County and order Hua Xiaorong to restrain his brothers and not to be in chaos and guard Wugong County. Let him wait for the news about Fufeng County, at least before Fufeng County is taken down, Wugong County will not be able to make mistakes. Otherwise, the officers and soldiers will use Wugong County and Fufeng County as the corners and attack on both sides, and those tens of thousands of brothers will be affected."
The order was quickly sent out. Although the officers and soldiers were stationed in Fufeng County and cut off the supply channel from Fengxiang to Wugong, it was still easy for one or two people to pass through Fufeng County to send messages.
Wugong County, Hua Xiaorong looked at the order in his hand and couldn't help but tremble. Now Wugong County's surplus grain is only enough for two days to use. What should we do next? The King of Chuang asked to restrain his brothers, but this matter was not so easy? Depending on the King of Chuang, if the King of Chuang was unable to break through Fufeng County for a long time, then the tens of thousands of brothers in Wugong County would have to learn from Yuan Ma and open their mouths to eat people.
一旦吃人,必然出事儿啊.
In the world, not all hungry people are willing to become Yuan Ma, not to mention that Yuan Ma is eating people because of hunger?
Alas, I hope the people sent by the King of Chuang can conquer Fufeng County as soon as possible. As long as there is a gap of tens of thousands of brothers from Wugong County, they will have a way out.
