Fufeng Dangerous Situation

On October 20, the second year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng was ordered to lead 6,000 elite troops to Fufeng County.

Li Zicheng had his original old army, and later he selected strong men and selected them strictly. It can be said that these more than 6,000 people were definitely the most capable elite among the peasant army. In order to take Fufeng County, Gao Yingxiang sent his most precious army in addition to his cavalry.

Li Zicheng was not vague either. After resting for half a day, he launched a fierce attack on Fufeng County. Li Zicheng knew the importance of Fufeng County, which was related to the lives of more than 60,000 brothers.

Due to the urgency of time and the delay, Li Zicheng could only fight quickly. In order to capture Fufeng County as soon as possible, Li Zicheng sent half of his troops to launch a mad dog-style fight against Fufeng County.

On the first day, although Li Zicheng failed to defeat Fufeng, he gave Wu Guofu the city a blow. Wu Guofu thought that relying on the strong city could attack the peasant army head-on. Unexpectedly, this peasant army was completely different from what he had seen before. Not only was it well-trained, but it also fought each one to save lives and was about to catch up with the elite border troops of Datong Prefecture.

In just one day, one third of the soldiers under his command lost. If this continues, it will take less than three days for him to have no one under his command.

Wu Guofu was immediately anxious and quickly wrote a letter to Yang He for reinforcements. He also wrote to Cao Wenzhao to see if Cao Wenzhao could find a way to support him.

The next day, Li Zicheng continued to attack the city. It was strange that the strength of the siege on this day was not as strong as the first day. One day, the siege was captured at the You hour. Taking advantage of his spare time, Wu Guofu had a meal and leaned on the battlements to rest.

The night was as cold as water, with stars dripping. I don’t know how long I slept, but I suddenly woke up. Wu Guofu was old and opened his sleepy eyes and felt a little wilted. "What are you doing? I am so angry, who can disturb me when I sleep."

"Oh, General... Listen, the bandits have attacked the city..."

The person who spoke was Cen Fang, the deputy general of Wu Guofu. Cen Fang shook Wu Guofu again, and Wu Guofu's sleepiness was driven away for most of the time. After listening for a while, the old general Wu's face immediately became cold, "Before dawn, the bandits attacked the city. Are they crazy?"

As we all know, siege at night is very beneficial to the defending city. Even if it is finally captured, it will be a heavy casualty. Therefore, looking at history, few people are willing to attack the city at night. It is precisely because of this that Wu Guofu found a place to sleep after dinner. In his opinion, Li Zicheng was also a regular border army. Even if he had never learned military tactics again, he should understand this simple military common sense.

But, an accident happened!

Before midnight, Li Zicheng attacked Fufeng County at night. The peasant army attacked like a tide, but the effect was very little. In fact, as Wu Guofu expected, the peasant army attacked for four hours, except for sprinkling countless blood and corpses on the top of the city, but still failed to shake Fufeng City.

After paying a heavy price, the peasant army quietly retreated. The dawn sun emerged from the clouds and the earth slowly illuminated. I saw countless corpses under the city, and some of them were not even killed, but fell to death.

No matter how you look at it, the peasant army attacked Fufeng County at night was a very stupid act. Such an attack was meaningless and was ruining the name of a person for nothing.

Is Li Zicheng really so stupid? At least Wu Guofu doesn't think so. Li Zicheng joined the peasant army and became famous in just a few months. In addition to Gao Yingxiang's support, it is also inseparable from his own abilities. If Li Zicheng's ability is insufficient, Gao Yingxiang would not have given him such an important task of attacking Fufeng County.

What exactly did Li Zicheng want to do? Wu Guofu hadn't come up with a reason. Before Chen time passed, the peasant army launched a new round of fierce attacks on Fufeng County, which made the defenders not even have time to eat and rest.

At this moment, Wu Guofu understood Li Zicheng's intentions. Li Zicheng wanted to use uninterrupted attacks, and countless lives were exhausted around the defenders.

After all, people have their limits, and people will be exhausted. Li Zicheng must have been divided into two groups of people, one group of rest, one group of attacks, and one group of hands takes turns to fight. In this way, half of Li Zicheng's troops will maintain combat effectiveness. However, Wu Guofu was not good, and his troops were limited, and he was afraid of insufficient troops in defense of the city, so he dared to split half of them to rest.

The defenders must always focus on responding, because Li Zicheng's every attack was serious. As long as there was a slight slackness, he would enter Fufeng County.

Yes, Li Zicheng is using human lives, but he has this capital and he has sufficient troops, so he can be willful. As long as he can conquer Fufeng County in time and rescue tens of thousands of troops trapped in Wugong County, all the losses will be worth it.

Although Fufeng County's defense is still very strong for the time being, Wu Guofu was worried. In just one day and one night, the brothers had already shown a tired expression. How long can they stay like this?

One day, two days... Wu Guofu even doubted whether he could keep four days.

It can't be held for too long, but the order given by Yang Tushima was to be defended by Fufeng County. It also means that Wu Guofu's life will be explained in Fufeng County.

.........

Everything was as Wu Guofu expected, Li Zicheng's attack never stopped. He turned Fufeng County into a Shura field, and the defenders in the city were frustrated by him and could not rest for a moment.

On the night of the third day, Wu Guofu saw the situation in Fufeng County and his heart became cold. With his decades of experience in leading the troops, it is not difficult to see that Fufeng County will inevitably fall tomorrow.

Haha, I couldn't defend it for four days. This Li Zicheng was indeed cruel and powerful enough. A hero appeared in the chaos.

Wu Guofu was already desperate. Taking advantage of the rare rest time, he called deputy general Cen Fang and arranged for the funeral.

At the hour of Hai, when the crescent moon hangs high and the moon shadows fall on the earth, Li Zicheng's new round of attack is preparing. Wu Guofu is ready to see the sun at dawn, and Cen Fang, who has just left, hurried back to the city wall.

After seeing Cen Fang, Wu Guofu was immediately furious and whispered: "Didn't you let you go? Why don't you listen?"

"Old General, please calm down. Your letter was sent by General Cao!"

"Hmph" Wu Guofu took the letter, glared at Cen Fang, and then read the letter under the torch. After reading it, the old eyebrows shook and immediately said, "Cen Fang, don't leave, follow me to meet the enemy. Let me continue to give my brothers a lot of energy this time. As long as we defeat the bandits, we can withdraw from Fufeng County."

"Well? Supervisor Yang promised to let us withdraw?"
