Chapter 1783 The Battle of Gushi (2)
Due to insufficient military equipment, Liu Fang's Hengyang Guards were difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
When he was ordered to leave Fengyang City and advance westward, Chi Erhan treated him with kindness and asked Liu Fang to lead his troops to detour towards Chenqiu. His purpose was nothing more than two. First, this reinforcement must be a battle of encounters, a tough battle, and even an ambush from the enemy, which made the Hengyang Guards fight desperately. Chi Er was so naive that he couldn't bear it.
Second, Chi Erhan also knew that he had only 8,000 troops in his hands, and Ajige had an army of 60,000 in the direction of the mall. In addition to Jianyang Guard and Zuoying, the troops could not be compared with the enemy. The Hengyang Guard could not be compared with the enemy, so that it could not be prepared for any eventuality, and at the time of necessity, the Hengyang Guard could be saved from the battlefield.
It’s strange that Chi Erhan has been taking good care of Liu Yishu since the first meeting with Liu Fang in Hengyang. This may be the so-called “love at first sight”.
Liu Fang is not capable. An old gangster on the streets of Hengyang Ancient Town. If the Northern Expedition Army had not met Hengyang, then Liu Fang might have been a patrol officer in his life, and he would have done his best.
Perhaps in the future, if the system reform is removed and the inspection department is abolished, Liu Fang will have to be laid off.
But when the storm comes, once the water turns into a dragon, a mere temporary worker who is not in the inspection department, he became the commander of Hengyang Guard in just a few months and then became the serious General Zhaoyong. It can be said that life is like a dream.
But the military achievements made by Liu Fang may indeed be powerful in history.
And Liu Fang is also loyal.
Yes, being loyal is the most important nature of the world, otherwise you will not be able to survive.
Anyone who has no loyalty will even dislike a slut.
Although Liu Fang is a master who doesn’t know a lot of words, he can tell the difference clearly.
He knew the danger of this battle. General Chi was taking care of him and Hengyang Guard. On this roundabout way, he was thinking all day long that he was the one who was grateful to others for being a drop of water. He had to repay him with a spring of water. How could he repay this kindness?
Along the way, Liu Fang fully utilized his "calling" power, using the military rations he carried with the army, his "lotus of mouth", and various promises he forgot after saying it, which really fooled many people.
The team was constantly expanding. Of course, Liu Fang also felt a little afraid at this time and did not easily "provoke" good families. However, the gangsters and gangsters in the prefectures along the way were fooling themselves into the team.
That's right, this is called "like-of-mind".
When he arrived at Chenqiu City, Liu Fang had nearly 30,000 people in his hands. He occupied Chenqiu City and immediately opened an official warehouse to release grain. For a moment, the people around him, especially those gangsters who were already idle, praised Liu Fang as if the only one in the world was "Sage Liu".
Liu Fang was so happy. With a wave of his hand, nearly 30,000 people were dispatched and occupied Xiangcheng and Xincai.
Poor, the defenders of the two counties, together, had less than a thousand people. When they saw the "large army" attacking, they rushed to surrender.
Therefore, General Liu defeated three cities in a row to help the poor, and was incredible for a while.
Originally, Liu Fang planned to attack Gwangju, which was the agreement before Chi Erhan broke up with Liu Fang.
Attacking behind the enemy can also be regarded as a surprise weapon, which can resolve the pressure on the front battlefield.
However, Xincai was closer to Gushi. From the people who fled, they learned that Chi Erhan was in a tough battle in Gushi.
Now Liu Fang changed his mind immediately. As for him, what kind of king or military order is the important thing?
If a benefactor sits alone and ignores his difficulties, why do he be a human being?
So Liu waved his hand and the 30,000 troops poured down like a torrent and rushed straight to Gushi.
When Hengyang Guard arrived at the battlefield, Chi Erhan was personally leading the first army to launch a desperate attempt at the enemy cavalry.
This is not Chi Erhan’s recklessness, not knowing how to avoid his strength and preserve his strength.
In fact, Changlin Wei's intelligence was in trouble. When Wu Zheng deployed Chi Erhan from Fengyang City to station the border between the two prefectures, he did not know that Ajige had arrived at Runing Mansion and met with Sun Kewang.
When Wu Zheng arrived in Xuzhou and received news from Li Dingguo's request for help, it was too late to transfer more troops.
Of course, Wu Zheng believed that the reinforcements of the three routes should not be divided into divisions to block the attack, which was a wrong judgment.
Logically, after repeated attacks, three reinforcements came, so Ajige should withdraw his troops and protect himself.
But unexpectedly, Ajige's dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, so he decided to capture the mall and occupy Henan as his base.
Of course, these cavalry of Azig are of little use for siege. They are idle and idle. It is also a good choice to block enemy reinforcements.
But in this way, the pressure on the reinforcements of the three routes became extremely huge.
Chi Erhan can retreat, and there are artillery blocking cannons, and the musketeers will return on the same route by boat.
If Chi Erhan retreated to the east bank of Shihe, the enemy cavalry could not cross the river and pursue it at all.
But in this way, the enemy cavalry would turn and rush south to attack Jianyang Guard and Zuoying. In this way, it would be more important to reinforce the mall, Jianyang Guard and Zuoying would probably have to break their wings.
A desperate battle can only survive in the death row. This is the only way Chi Erhan can think of at this time.
But this kind of nearly suicide counterattack consumes the enemy's vitality while consuming more of its own strength.
Although the enemy cavalry was caught off guard, they were far from the point of collapse.
The slow advancement of the musketeers left enough time to clean up the enemy cavalry. The enemy cavalry, who came to their senses, quickly launched an assault on Chi Erhan from both wings.
The next thing was too tragic and cruel. It can be seen from the casualties after the war that Chi Erhan's army was disabled, which is still lucky. If Liu Fang did not arrive in time, the result would be even worse, and it would be possible that the entire army would be wiped out.
Liu Fang led his troops to the battlefield in time to save General Chi, but he suddenly found that his troops were not moving.
It’s not that you can’t command, but that you are afraid to fight.
When he set out from Fengyang City, there were only more than 10,000 people in Hengyang Guard, of which 60,000 were still fooled by Liu Fang from the surrounding area of the old county.
At this time, Hengyang Guard had already had 30,000 people, and it took less than ten days.
How can these extra people fight?
I just want to make a living, but who made Liu Yishou generous? Everyone is here to come.
Look at the team, some of them have gray hair, some of them have hunched back and sprained ankles, and the one over there... Tsk tsk, is this a man?
Even the woman was infiltrated. The most terrifying thing was that she turned her back and turned around... was there a baby in her arms?
It is probably the funniest thing in this world to let such an army charge against tens of thousands of enemy cavalry.
No, this is not the most ridiculous.
Logically speaking, General Zhaoyong's military orders are as high as a mountain. If he orders an attack, he must attack.
Those who do not attack and are passive and lazy in fighting will be engaged in military law.
However, when Brother Liu Fang saw this, he had nothing to do.
