Chapter 664: Waiting for Reinforcements
Win more with less, ten years of grudges, once raised his eyebrows, in addition to this, this battle also played the highest level in his history, Gao Jie's whole person was in excitement, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time, just like those officers and soldiers who were resting.
But after all, he is a veteran of the battlefield, Gao Jie knows that although this battle made Li Zicheng embarrassed, he was hit hard, and although he was not panicked when he retreated, he never succeeded in a defeat.
Therefore, Gao Jie has reason to believe that there will be a tough battle to fight when the thieves take a breath or reinforcements arrive, and Li Zicheng will definitely not be able to swallow this breath.
Just stay until then...... Hehe, Gao Jie's mind is alive, he is not a good stubble, Chang Yu ordered him to intercept it, the reason why he worked so hard was to beat the water dog when Li Zicheng was embarrassed to settle his personal grudges, and secondly, to be profitable.
At present, the two goals are achieved, if the thieves wait for the reinforcements to come and cross the border again, he does not need to fight hard, and he will almost retreat to the city after a while, of course, it still depends on the situation, if the reinforcements of the thieves arrive, the officers and soldiers of the northern front also chase after him, he will not show mercy to his subordinates, and will die as he is.
At present, several forces of people and horses are entangled in a circle of hundreds of miles, the situation is changing rapidly, and no one can control what will happen in the next second, even the most inconspicuous variable can detonate the overall situation, so how to fight at the moment, how to deal with it, just four words, judge the situation.
Gao Jie thinks so, Li Zicheng is not.
Li Zicheng made a careless move, Gao Jie's blind cat touched the dead mouse so that he chose a way to retreat was actually taken by him, the first to ambush the soldiers, a fierce battle, although the casualties were not large, but the heavy losses amounted to nearly 100 cars, so that the thieves were distressed, but the more headache was the sluggish morale to reach an unprecedented new land.
Retreating from Baoding Mansion, the thieves said that the goal was to achieve a strategic retreat, that is, to grab enough, it was time to go home to appease the thieves, but the way home was too difficult, and the chasing soldiers were always the news of the defeat of the various departments, and at this time, there were wolves and tigers in front of them, and the morale of the tiger gradually declined, and just after another defeat, the front could not pass, the way home became slim, and the army was already panicked.
Li Zicheng naturally could not allow this kind of thing to happen, and personally mobilized the army's heart, saying: "This defeat is a momentary carelessness, the front army is too scattered, the rear army is too far away, and adjustments have been made at this time, and a large number of reinforcements will soon arrive in the rear, and it may not be a defeat just now, just to protect the strategic retreat of the baggage, you see that the officers and soldiers have chased us for more than ten miles, but they have defeated us and others, and they have not!" ”
"The officers and soldiers in front did not have the strength to defeat the rebels, and after resting, they could easily pass the pass and leave when the reinforcements arrived......" Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen and other thieves took turns to fight, and finally made the tired army feel a little angry.
When they returned to the handsome tent, the thieves changed their expressions, or frowned and said nothing, or sighed solemnly, or silently observed their words, they all felt unprecedented pressure.
Li Zicheng's face was pale, anyone could see that he was trying to control his emotions, and anyone knew that it was very faceless to be beaten by his rival, not to mention the life and death of the entire rebel army.
As they said to the thief army under their command before, they have indeed made adjustments, sending people to order Li Guo and Liu Fangliang to return to help as soon as possible, and Zhang Nai in the rear will help some more people. The previous deployment was still too careless, and the division of troops made the main force protection too weak, but it was exploited by Gao Jie, a blind cat.
At the mouth of the Sancha River, the thief army camped here, although it was defeated before, Li Zicheng also figured out Gao Jie's strength, which should be slightly inferior to himself, but he had to be distracted and divided his troops to protect the baggage, so the two of them were in a good position, Gao Jie could stop him but don't want to defeat himself, let alone kill himself, he might be able to repel Gao Jie, but he would definitely not be able to pass the test.
Therefore, he has to wait, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and he will definitely pinch Gao Jie's house to death, of course, Gao Jie also thinks so, now it depends on who on both sides changes quickly.
The two sides are separated by more than ten miles to rest and recuperate, unconsciously the sky is twilight, Li Zicheng is waiting for reinforcements and Gao Jie is observing the words, the sent probe horses are returning again and again, the thief army in Ren County was entangled by Liu Cheng, fighting four times in one afternoon, there is no hope of breaking the city, and he is unwilling to go.
As for the Fucheng side, it is much funnier, the thief army arrived at the city all the way to the city and called the formation, the defenders in the city saw that they had no siege equipment and shouted insults, the thief army surrounded the city angrily, and then suddenly transferred troops to the east, at this time it should be almost to Ren County.
Gao Jie couldn't help laughing, thinking that Li Zicheng was so excited that he couldn't do it when he was turned around by the group he played, and his subordinates said: "Then the reinforcements on the West Road are tired so far, do you want to do it?" ”
After pondering for a while, Gao Jie vetoed, his goal was Li Zicheng, and he didn't want to waste his strength elsewhere, not to mention that once he evacuated, Li Zicheng might take advantage of the situation to escape.
"But what if we wait for reinforcements from the thief army to arrive on the western route? I'm afraid that I will be defeated by two pinching attacks."
Gao Jie directly rolled his eyes: "What does it mean to be invincible, it must be invincible, but the old man can't beat it and won't run" Everyone laughed: "Besides, the thief army reinforcements have been exhausted all the way, and it's hard to say who will cut whom, and I'm afraid that when they get to the ground, the overseer should also lead the soldiers to kill from the north......"
The dream is beautiful, I'm afraid that Chang Yu will disappoint Gao Jie, what is he doing at this time?
Gaoyi and Zhaozhou, Yuanshi County three junction line there is a big river, the riverside was originally the camp of the thief army, in the early morning Liu Zeqing defeated the thief army to occupy its camp, rest until the afternoon and then sent troops to chase down, at the same time Li Yanbu men and horses followed here and Niu Yong and Li Chengdong another way of men and horses converged, side by side south.
And in Luancheng to rest the army of officers and soldiers also at noon to pull out the camp, not in a hurry to this place is already evening, Chang Yu ordered to rest on the spot, the soldiers under the command of the day of the battle both physical strength and energy are the end of the crossbow, now Li Zicheng has intercepted before there is a chasing soldier, the way home is thousands of miles, Chang Yu has time to play cat and mouse with him, so he is not in a hurry, let the men and horses under his command take turns to rest and pursue.
There are still many wounded soldiers left by Liu Zeqing in the camp, and Chang Yu came to comfort them one by one, ensuring that there are disability allowances and pensions regardless of life and death, and the soldiers are grateful to Dade.
After some pacification, it was already twilight, Chang Yu looked at the remnants of the sun in Xishan, and when he heard the cheers in the distance, he turned his head to look at Wu Zhong, Qiao Sanxiu and a group of guards were competing, and the onlookers were unable to pass through the three layers inside and outside.
Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, the so-called Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, several grandmaster-level masters around him belong to various factions, they are competing openly and secretly, they have nothing to do when they are resting before, and several people are teaching the martial arts of the fourth battalion of Dongchang, I don't know why they taught a few of them to do it, which attracted the onlookers and applause.
"Lord Overseer" Chang Yu was about to go to see the excitement, but the situation around him suddenly stopped him: "There is a proposal for the lowly position."
Chang Yu was stunned and slightly puzzled, as his bow and arrow master, he had always been silent and silent, and he was very curious to hear him say this
"What proposal?"
"Choose an elite soldier from the army as a personal guard for the governor" Guan Ren blurted out, but Chang Yu frowned: "This governor is in the midst of ten thousand armies, and there are four battalions of men and horses under his command, what do you need to guard."
Chang Yu is the overseer of Dongchang, and there are four battalions of soldiers and horses under his command, and the security in Beijing is responsible for Dongchang and several personal attendants on weekdays, and the four battalions under his command are responsible for the army.
However, this little overseer is different, he always likes to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and the four battalions under his command are often sent out to carry out tasks, and there are only a few personal servants and people around him, which is far from enough.
At first glance, who dared to touch him among the hosts, in fact, it was another matter.
is the commander of the first army, like Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, etc., all have pro-soldiers, what is a pro-soldier, a confidant soldier, loyal and good at fighting, wherever he goes, desperately protect the main general on the battlefield, and guard against his own people on weekdays.
What's more, Chang Yu's identity, the big boss of the East Factory, a eunuch, there are many people who want to move him, so once the fourth battalion of the East Factory is not there, the situation feels very stressed! When he went to the battlefield, it was okay when he had four battalions on his side, but when he didn't have time, the pressure was even worse, for fear that one would accidentally make a mess, so he needed to set up an inseparable personal guard for Chang Yu at twelve o'clock.
Saying this, Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you" Guo Ren left happily.
