Chapter 382: Luo Rucai's Defeat (3)
Zhou Cao not only sent 5,000 Ying Long's army to come to Qin Liangyu's aid, but also ordered the artillery battalion to stop shelling the Chengdu city wall, and instead aimed the cannon at the hundreds of thousands of thieves who were fighting with Qin Liangyu's army.
"Fire!"
"Bang Bang Bang"
The 5,000 Ying Long army quickly reached the west to support Qin Liangyu. The gunfire was intense, and rows of thieves were killed, and the army formation of 5,000 Ying Long troops slowly advanced.
With the addition of 5,000 Ying Long Army, Qin Liangyu's army, which was already dominant, suddenly crushed Li Dingguo and Wei Guanying into defeat and retreat.
At this time, the muzzles of the artillery battalion were also adjusted, and they began to violently bombard the hundreds of thousands of thieves who left the city.
"Fire!"
"Boom Boom"
The thieves were densely numbered, and in the face of the bombardment of hundreds of field artillery, they suffered heavy casualties for a while, and the entire place hit by the shells was full of stumps and broken arms, and the blood mist was filled, which made the morale of the thieves fall to the bottom in an instant.
A feeling of fear began to permeate the thieves, and the power of Ying Longjun's cannon was too great, and the deterrent power was strong.
It turned out that the artillery of the Ying Long Army was not specially used to attack the city, but should be specially used to bombard the enemy in the field, and unfortunately, they were the target of the Ying Long Army's artillery at this moment.
I can't stay outside the city any longer, and I must find Luo Rucai as soon as possible.
Since Li Dingguo led the army out of the city to rescue, he has been looking for Luo Rucai's traces, but he has never seen him.
"Wei Guanying, where is Luo Rucai, where is he?" Li Dingguo asked coldly at Wei Guanying.
Wei Guanying shook his head, he could also see that Luo Rucai's premeditated strategy was likely to be difficult to succeed, although they attracted Qin Liangyu's army very smoothly, but the Ying Long Army only came with 5,000 people, and the main force was still guarding the camp, according to the strong combat effectiveness shown by the 5,000 Ying Long Army, if Luo Rucai really led an army of 30,000 to attack the artillery camp position where the 15,000 Ying Long Army existed, it was likely that his head would be broken and bleeding, and the whole army would not be destroyed.
"Although I don't know where General Luo is, I guess that General Luo must be in an ambush with 30,000 horses, waiting for the opportunity to come out and attack the Ming army's artillery camp!" Wei Guanying said.
"Damn it!" Li Dingguo's face is very unsightly, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them, and if they continue to support it, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties, unless all the troops in the city fall out, but in that case, it will not become a hard-fought field battle, and it will only be the Great West Kingdom that will suffer, since the Great West Country has Chengdu Jiancheng to hold on, it must not risk the risk of being seriously injured or even defeated to go out of the city to fight a field battle with the Ming army, it is too cost-effective, and it is not worth it for a Luo Rucai.
Li Dingguo began to hesitate whether to abandon Luo Rucai, and ordered the army to withdraw to the city. However, he didn't have time to hesitate for long, and the situation changed again!
It turned out that Luo Rucai saw that Qin Liangyu's army was really attracted by Li Dingguo, there were only a few Ming troops left in the Ming army camp, and as long as his 30,000 troops rushed up, they would definitely be able to enter the center and destroy the Ming artillery.
The more Luo Rucai thought about it, the more excited he became, he pulled out his long sword and pointed forward.
"Kill!"
"Kill" The 30,000 army, under the command of Luo Rucai, suddenly came out of the dark night and went straight to the camp of the Ming army.
As Luo Rucai expected, most of Qin Liangyu's army was transferred to fight with Li Dingguo and Wei Guanying, and there were not many people in the camp to resist, and Luo Rucai's 30,000 troops were successfully killed in the center of the Ming army's camp.
In the west of the battle with Li Dingguo and Wei Guanying, Qin Liangyu heard the shouting of killing from the center of the camp, and frowned, the thieves really had a backhand.
"Hmph, kill yourself!" Qin Liangyu sneered, not worried at all, and concentrated on the layout of the hundreds of thousands of thieves who surrounded and annihilated Li Dingguo and Wei Guanying.
The combat effectiveness of an army of Ying Long's army is not weaker than that of an army of more than 100,000 people, listening to this movement, the back hand of the thief soldiers is only 30,000 or 40,000 people, even if they kill in front of the artillery camp of Yinglong Army, they will face a head-on attack from Yinglong Army, not only can they not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but they may also be annihilated by Yinglong Army!
With 5,000 Ying Long troops and 8,000 white pole soldiers as horns, Qin Liangyu's army quickly tore through the formation of more than 100,000 thief soldiers and split them into two pieces, which made Li Dingguo feel pressure!
"Qin Liangyu!" Li Dingguo saw Qin Liangyu.
"Li Dingguo!" Qin Liangyu also saw Li Dingguo.
Looking at Qin Liangyu's old age, but still full of heroic body, such as the Song Dynasty Yangmen She Taijun was alive, calmly commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield, although Li Dingguo thinks that he has some talent for leading troops to fight, but Qin Liangyu is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades, and he is not as good as Qin Liangyu in terms of battlefield experience, and Qin Liangyu's ability to lead troops is not weaker than him, he knows very well that the longer the time drags on, the greater his loss will be.
Thinking of this, Li Dingguo suddenly had the idea of retreating.
Suddenly, there were bursts of shouts of killing in the central direction of the Ming army's camp.
"Luo Rucai!" Li Dingguo's face was very ugly, Luo Rucai really went to find the dead, even if he wanted to rescue, I am afraid it would not be easy, and the loss would be great.
Li Dingguo hesitated for a few breaths again, Luo Ru is one of the most important generals in the Great Western Kingdom, he had followed King Gao Yingxiang, and his status in the Great Western Kingdom was very high, if he was killed or captured, the morale of the Great Western Army would inevitably be greatly hit, affecting the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the future.
After thinking about it, Li Dingguo still decided to save Luo Rucai no matter what.
With a decision, Li Dingguo did not hesitate, took out a five-inch long bamboo tube from his arms, and took out a fire fold to ignite the lead on the top of the bamboo tube.
"Poof!" A firework shot out from the bamboo tube and exploded in the sky twenty or thirty meters high.
This is one of the backhands that Li Dingguo prepared before he left the city, in order to rescue Luo Rucai, who may be under siege.
After the signal was transmitted, Li Dingguo immediately concentrated on commanding the battle, at this moment, he could not retreat, he had to drag Qin Liangyu's army here.
The fierce fighting in the west continued, and another fierce battle began in the center of the camp with the breakthrough of Luo Rucai's 30,000-strong army.
"Kill" Luo Rucai's 30,000 thieves successfully broke into front of the Yinglong Army artillery camp position in the center of the Ming army's camp.
Zhou Cao looked at this scene coldly, he was not in a hurry, he was extremely calm, and he didn't think that he would take this tens of thousands of thieves in his eyes at all!
Under the command of Zhou Cao, Ying Longjun began to arrange the formation in an orderly manner to meet Luo Rucai!
