Chi Erhan guards Andong.
He only had five thousand soldiers in the First Army.
Facing Yue Le's large-scale attack, he asked for help from the territory of Shanyang Lu without thinking.
Whenever the Lu domain heard the news, it would send troops to reinforce.
When Chi Erhan learned that reinforcements had been sent in the territory of Lu, he personally led a side army to meet the enemy and ambushed a small town called Jincheng north of Andong, preparing to slap Yue Le's arrogance.
So, after an ambush, it gradually evolved into a battle between the two sides for Jincheng.
After three days of fierce battle, the two sides invested a total of nearly 20,000 troops and fought like a tug-of-war around Jincheng and Jincheng.
....
However, at this time, Pizhou was suddenly attacked by the Qing cavalry.
The garrison of Pizhou was the Fourth Battalion of the 103rd Regiment of the First Army, with a full squad of 756 people.
Equipped with thirty-six tiger squat cannons and 684 flintlock rifles.
The guard general was the deputy of the 103rd Regiment, which was Li Puxing, the eldest son of Li Dingguo.
Without this sudden battle, Li Puxing had already embarked on the road to Fengyang.
After receiving an urgent letter from Lin Wei, the chief of the High School of First Merit, Wu Zheng sighed in his heart. As long as the people of Li Ding were there, all other losses could be made up.
However, Li Sixing's sacrifice made Wu Zheng realize that Li Dingguo might have a feeling of licking his calf while being sad.
Perhaps letting the eldest son return to his side can relieve the pain of Li Dingguo losing a son.
So, he urgently ordered Li Puxing to rush to Fengyang, meet with him, and go to Luoyang City together.
It is better for man to calculate than God to calculate.
No one can estimate that Yue Le would bypass Shuyang and head straight to Pizhou.
Shuyang, Pizhou and Suqian are all garrisons of the 103rd Regiment.
The regiment commander was Shi Kun, who was the first group of officers trained by Wu Zheng in the military academy. He was ordered to retreat in Jiangdu, but he returned halfway and led the entire regiment to the north gate, raided the Qing army in the city at night, saving the situation.
After the 103rd Regiment was stationed, Shi Kun believed that Xuzhou had been recovered and that the enemy would come from the west was unlikely.
The one who is most likely to take the enemy first should be Shuyang.
Therefore, the first and second battalions were deployed in Shuyang, the third battalions were deployed in Suqian, and the fourth battalions were in Pizhou (the first army was in the 44 system), and the three places were supporting each other.
The enemy cavalry can attack from north to west, which is completely beyond the normal combat idea.
Because this is equivalent to the enemy siegeing this raided man and siege into the Northern Expedition Army.
But that's how the fact happened.
When Shi Kun received the report from the scout cavalry, he was also stunned.
He could not imagine what kind of bad consequences would a sudden attack on the fourth battalion, almost four times his enemy cavalry.
But the problem is that it takes one day to urgently provide assistance from Shuyang, and the 103rd Regiment has not become a built-in cavalry.
You can provide reinforcements from Suqian and you can arrive on the same day, but there are only three battalions, with only more than 700 people.
Moreover, it took half a day to send the order, which was almost the same as reinforcements from Shuyang.
Shi Kun was sweating profusely, he knew Li Puxing's identity.
Once something happens to Li Puxing, the consequences will be extremely bad, and it even concerns the friendship between King Wu and King Jin.
As a result, Shi Kun, who has always been decisive, fell into a dilemma.
But military information waits for no one!
Shi Kun gritted his teeth and after sending a request for help from the Lu domain, he issued an order - ordering his two battalions to attack Haizhou!
Since there is not enough time and I can't save it, I will fight each other.
The enemy takes our Pizhou, and I take our enemy Haizhou.
This was another big bet, and in fact, Shi Kun was also ready to sacrifice himself.
This is exactly the same as Yue Le's tactical idea of attacking Pizhou despite Shuyang - if you are unexpected, you will be saved if you attack the enemy!
Now the two armies are in a stalemate on the Anton line. If they threaten Haizhou, it will inevitably lead to the Qing army being attacked. How dare Yue Le not save it?
But the problem is that once Yue Le returns to the army and attacks, only more than 1,000 troops in two battalions will be enough for Yue Le to get stuck in the gap between his teeth.
Of course, Shi Kun made this decision because the situation was forced by the situation, because if Li Puxing had an unexpected surprise, his future might end here.
The two evils are the least, and the only way to throw apart can be brought back to the enemy cavalry that invaded Pizhou.
This is Shi Kun’s truest thought.
....
Where can I send reinforcements in the territory of Lu?
The troops in his hands reinforced Chi Erhan, but he could not provide reinforcements to Pizhou at all.
I can only let it go.
Many times, what controls a battle is just a small accident.
Perhaps Yue Le and Wu Zheng did not realize that the Yellow River front, which was built with heavy troops on both sides, was confronted with each other and fought fiercely for several months, and the deadlock would be broken by a small accident.
Pizhou is a small prefecture, and its capital is Xia Pi.
Xia Pi is a small county with not high and not strong.
Hundreds of people are enough to fight a colorful offensive and defensive battle.
Therefore, Shi Kun deployed a battalion in the city and did not mean to underestimate the enemy, so it doesn’t matter whether it was right or wrong.
But when such a small county town was attacked by three thousand elite light cavalry, the result was self-evident.
Yes, normal people think so.
But an accident happened like this.
....
Since the early morning, the battles have been dark, and the three gates have been broken, but the Qing army has not been able to seize the East Gate.
Whether it is a strong climb outside the city or a joint attack inside and outside.
One or two miles from the East Gate Tower is an iron nail that is firmly stuck there, leaving the wind and rain to blow, and I remained motionless.
Li Puxing accepted the concept of hot weapons combat in the military academy.
His intelligence has made considerable modifications and changes in what he has learned.
He was also panicked when he was suddenly attacked by the enemy.
But he reacted very quickly. At the beginning, he didn't want to go over and defend the whole city.
Because he knew that this could not be done.
But as a guard, he was unwilling to give up and could not lead his army to escape.
Even if the King of Wu does not punish him for losing his city and land, his father will probably be able to traumatize him.
Therefore, Li Puxing brought all his troops to the city wall and spread outward with the city tower as the center.
Although the earth city wall is ugly, it is as solid as it is, with compact clay, and it is not even afraid of small cannon bombardment. Moreover, although the sparrows are small, they are all complete with all internal organs, and battlements in front and behind the city wall.
The musket soldier lying in a stance and putting the gun in a mercy, which is perfect.
That's not all. The city tower is laid out, cross-fire power, and then a tiger squat cannon is set up... Tsk tsk, it's as solid as a soul!
Of course, such an arrangement is not invulnerable. There are several heavy artillery that are still blown away.
But the question is, the only one who attacked the light cavalry, where did the heavy artillery come from?
At best, it's some riding bows.
Riding a bow sounds tall and superior, but in fact, it is not as sharp as an infantry bow.
Because no matter how good the riding is, it will be on the horse. The too hard bow will be pulled open immediately, which is much more difficult than on the ground.
The greatest power of riding and shooting lies in density, flexibility, rather than strength.
The most important thing is that Li Puxing also hid a lot of grenades.
This thing is not very powerful, but it is very suitable for these light cavalry who want to force themselves to board the horse.
It's just right.
From dawn to dark, both sides suffered casualties, and finally stopped fighting and said "shaking hands and making peace."
However, the casualties of the Qing cavalry far exceeded that of Li Puxing's troops.
So, was Li Puxing's attack by resisting the enemy cavalry for one day and changing the battlefield on the east road?
No, no.
