Chapter 688: A Pocket Array That Will Be Counted
Liu Deshun's words made Liu Guoneng stunned.
Before he could ask, Liu Deshun had already raised his head with a scornful face, and continued to say to him: "General, in my opinion, once Peixian is lost, Xuzhou will lose its barrier, and Lord Li's heavenly soldiers should cross the river directly and drive straight to Xuzhou City. In such a situation, Liu Liangchen, the defender of Xuzhou, will not sit idly by, and he will definitely send heavy troops to help. If he acts like this, then our army will just give him a plan, just under this Peixian county, set up a trap pocket, and wait for him to drill it. As long as Liu Liangchen's reinforcements can be eliminated, the soldiers of Xuzhou City are outnumbered, and I am afraid that it will be decided in one go. ”
Liu Deshun's words made Liu Guoneng's eyes light up unconsciously.
Liu Deshun, the general of the defeated army, although he seems to be mediocre and incompetent, his strategy still has a lot of possibilities.
Pei County was besieged, then Liu Liangchen sat in Xuzhou, he would never have thought that Pei County would be conquered by the Tang army so quickly, they must still think that even if Pei County was besieged by the Tang army, it must be delayed for a while before starting to attack the city, so Liu Liangchen urgently sent reinforcements to aid Pei County, which was a very normal and necessary move.
If you can really wipe out all the reinforcements of Liu Liangchen under the city of Peixian, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the pressure on yourself in the next battle to attack Xuzhou.
Thinking of this, Liu Guoneng suddenly made up his mind, he stared coldly at Liu Liangshun who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Liangshun, your strategy is very good, then you are willing to serve the army and lead that Liu Liangchen to Peixian County?" ”
Hearing that Liu Guoneng was moved by his own words, and that he wanted to let a defeated army like himself serve the Tang Army from now on, Liu Liangshun was overjoyed, and immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "It is a great honor to serve your army with a humble function." The general has any arrangements, but please command, I will definitely go to the soup for your army, and I will not hesitate! ”
Liu Guoneng smiled, raised his right hand, and motioned for him to get up and speak. After Liu Liangshun spoke, he said in a deep voice: "Then you listen, I will send Zu Dabi, the commander of our army's C battalion, to go with you to welcome Liu Liangchen's reinforcements to the city." After the enemy's reinforcements arrived at the city, our army joined forces with the outside and killed all Liu Liangchen's reinforcements. Do you understand? ”
Liu Liangshun straightened his chest and folded his belly, and immediately replied loudly: "I understand that it is all up to the general's arrangement!" ”
Next, under Liu Guoneng's arrangement, the soldiers of the whole army urgently cleaned up the battlefield, and then acted together with the people in the city, first repairing the western city wall that was almost in ruins.
After completing these tasks, Liu Guoneng arranged for Zu Dabi to lead hundreds of cavalry, wearing the armor of the defenders, waving the banners of the defenders, taking Liu Liangshun and several of his guards, leaving Peixian together, and going to the pontoon bridge on the bank of the Yellow River to meet Liu Liangchen's enemy reinforcements who would come to the aid from here.
When Liu Liangshun rushed to the bank of the Yellow River with hundreds of cavalry of Zu Dabi, at this time in Xuzhou City, Liu Liangchen received a report from the sentinels of Feng County and Pei County.
"General, general, it's not good!"
His personal housekeeper broke into Liu Liangchen's bedroom all the way with a crying voice, and lifted the curtain to enter.
At this time, the swinger Liu Liangchen and several prostitutes were upside down in the room, and suddenly heard the housekeeper shouting behind him, and he was almost scared to the climax.
At the same time, several naked prostitutes also screamed in unison, and they all took their clothes to cover up.
"you! What is your name, won't you scream outside the door first! Liu Liangchen was broken by someone, his face was red with anger, and he yelled at the housekeeper while hurriedly putting on his clothes and pants.
The butler gasped and panted and replied, "Oh no, General Liu." Tang Army, Tang Army has hit our Xuzhou Mansion! ”
"Oh? How did they come so fast? ”
Liu Liangchen looked surprised: "The Tang army just gave an order, how can you say that it will take a while to prepare, how can it hit Xuzhou so quickly?" So, what's the situation now? ”
"Hey, general, the Tang army is strong, there are many troops, our army Feng County has been abandoned, all the troops have withdrawn to Pei County, Pei County guard Liu Liangshun has sent a sentry horse to come, want to ask the general to go to emergency rescue."
Hearing the housekeeper's words, Liu Liangchen's face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
No, the Tang army's military might has come to this, so that the soldiers can take Feng County without blood. Then, they must be the whole army pressing towards Peixian.
If Peixian is lost, then the door of Xuzhou will be opened, and there will be no danger to defend, and the Tang army will attack directly to the city, and then it will completely become a turtle in the urn.
"Did the sentry cavalry report that how many soldiers and horses are there in the Tang Army now?" Liu Liangchen hurriedly asked.
"General Liu, according to the sentry cavalry, the Tang army is about 40,000 people."
Listening to the housekeeper report this number, Liu Liangchen frowned, but he was nervously calculating in his heart.
If the Tang army only has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, then it will not be easy for them to attack Peixian, which already has 5,000 defenders.
And Xuzhou City now, there are still more than 35,000 soldiers and horses, if 30,000 soldiers and horses are sent to the rescue, it should be able to join forces with the defenders inside and outside, and break the encirclement of the Tang army in one fell swoop. And even if the Tang Army is elite, if it is not enough to drive the Tang Army away, it is enough to compete with the Tang Army and hold on. In the end, the veterans of the Tang Army Division were tired, so they had no choice but to withdraw from the matter.
Thinking of this, Liu Liangchen didn't hesitate anymore, stood up from the bed at once, and immediately ordered: "In this case, the situation in Pei County is urgent, and it must be rescued immediately." Ben personally ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses to go to Pei County to rescue. You shall bring with you the remaining 5,000 men to defend the city. ”
The housekeeper only responded, and immediately went down to arrange, and after a while, Liu Liangchen was draped all over his body, ordered 30,000 soldiers, and urgently went to Pei County.
In order to ensure the speed and arrive at Pei County before the Tang army besieged the city, Liu Liangchen's 30,000 soldiers did not carry heavy weapons, and the whole army was lightly armored and moved forward quickly.
Liu Liangchen believes that Peixian is an important town in Xuzhou, and there are a lot of armor and weapons in the military depot there, and it is not too late to rearrange these soldiers when they get there.
As soon as the army crossed the Yellow River, it happened to meet Liu Liangshun with Zu Dabi and others, on the bank of the Yellow River.
Seeing that it was Liu Liangshun who came to greet him in person, Liu Liangchen was very surprised.
He stepped forward and hurriedly asked, "Liu Liangshun, as the lord of the city, how can you abandon the city and leave the city without permission?" Are you trying to escape with these hundreds of cavalry alone? ”
Liu Liangshun squeezed out a stiff smile on his face, and he sighed and said, "General, I am really anxious to see that your reinforcements have been delayed in the next place, and I am worried that the sentry will have an accident on the road. Only then did he personally lead the cavalry to Xuzhou, ready to explain the situation to you in person. It is hoped that before the siege of the Tang army, reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible. I really didn't expect that you, general, would work tirelessly and personally lead the troops to rescue, which made me grateful. ”
Liu Liangshun's words, Zu Dabi, the commander of the C Battalion of the Sixth Town of the Tang Army, who had been bowing his head to escort him, laughed secretly in his heart, but he couldn't help himself.
Liu Liangchen glanced at him coldly, and then replied: "Pei County is the gateway to Xuzhou, and the terrain is very critical. Therefore, after receiving the report, Ben Jiang couldn't wait any longer, and personally led troops to rescue him to relieve the danger of Pei County. ”
Liu Liangshun nodded again and again, and said hurriedly: "In this case, then lead the way in front, and ask the general to rush to Peixian with me immediately." ”
Liu Liangchen was not suspicious, and immediately led the 30,000 soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Liu Liangshun, and hurriedly rushed towards the direction of Peixian.
30,000 soldiers and horses hurried slowly, and finally came to the outside of Pei County when it was almost dusk.
Looking at the vague outline of the city in the distance, looking at the Liu Zijun flag still flying high on it, Liu Liangchen, a swinger who ran out of stinky sweat and a sore and painful body, finally took a long breath.
Okay, I finally arrived smoothly, it seems that the Tang army has not yet arrived at the siege of Peixian after capturing Feng County, so now I can calmly deploy my defenses.
At this time, Liu Liangshun came over and said with a respectful face: "General Liu, let me wait to enter the city first and open the city gate for the general." After welcoming the general into the city, then settle the whole army with good life. ”
Liu Liangchen no longer had any doubts about Liu Liangshun's words, he nodded, motioned for Liu Liangshun and the others to leave first, and then took 30,000 soldiers and horses with him and came to the outside of Peixian City.
After arriving at the city, Liu Liangchen was impatiently waiting for Liu Liangshun to go out of the city again to greet him, when he suddenly heard a rattle at the head of the city, he looked up, and everything that appeared in front of him made him almost unable to believe his eyes.
He was shocked to see that the Liu-character military flag at the head of the city was quickly replaced with the Li-character military flag with black characters on a red background, as well as many Tang Army military flags embroidered with forest tigers.
At this moment, Liu Liangchen's brain was almost short-circuited.
However, he quickly understood what was going on.
Damn, it turns out that this Liu Liangshun has already surrendered the city, but he still plans to make money for himself, this despicable guy!
He then looked around, almost instinctively, and saw something even more astonishing to him.
He could see that in the shadows of the trees outside the city at the end of his gaze, there were faint flags, and even faintly saw a little light reflected by the swords, guns and armor.
Liu Liangchen's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the ice lake
What a hate! I was bent on helping, but I never expected that Liu Liangshun's soldiers would have surrendered the city a long time ago, and now they have carefully woven a trap, waiting for themselves to step into it without knowing it, so as to catch it all.
Thinking of this, the resentment and resentment in Liu Liangchen's heart were simply incomprehensible.
"Liu Liangshun! You ungrateful dog bastard! What benefits did Tang Jun give you, to make you so ungrateful, and now you are still trying to earn me! ”
Liu Liangchen trembled all over his body and shouted at the city.
Liu Liangchen scolded sharply, and from the east gate, the figures of Liu Liangshun and Liu Guoneng, the commander of the Tang Army, flashed.
"Liu Liangchen, what is your name! You open your dog's eyes and see clearly, next to this general is General Liu Guoneng, the sixth mayor of the Tang Army, if you know the current affairs, immediately dismount and surrender, you can avoid death. If not, our army will definitely attack and wipe out all the stubborn people in this Peixian county! Liu Liangshun crossed his waist and scolded back, full of fox and fake tiger style.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Guoneng next to him also spoke: "Liu Liangchen, now that your troops and horses have fallen into the encirclement of our army, if you are still aware of the current affairs, surrender as soon as possible, it is the way to save your life." Our army will certainly give you preferential treatment when you surrender, so that not only can you save your life, but also your family's property and goods will be saved. If you stubbornly resist to the end, you will definitely die and your reputation will be destroyed, and your soldiers will also suffer from blood. Where to go, I hope you will think twice. ”
Liu Guoneng said this, Liu Liangchen couldn't listen to it at all.
He only saw that Liu Liangshun was such a villain beside Liu Guineng, and his eyes were already red with anger, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately replied sharply: "Liu Liangshun!" You are a slave who betrays your master, and you are embarrassed to say such words! Hmph, do you think that our army will only obediently wait for death? Tell you, Ben will immediately lead his troops back now, but you are waiting for Monet! ”
As soon as his words fell, Liu Guoneng smiled coldly, he didn't say much, raised his right hand high, signaled to the commander next to him, and immediately gave the flag and order.
The sound of the horn sounded almost at the same time.
The four gates of Peixian County were opened, and a large number of soldiers of the Tang Army, who were fully armored and majestic, poured out of the city gate like a surging tide.
At the same time, the Tang army troops hidden in the groves outside the city had already rushed out from the left and right sides.
There were even thousands of Tang cavalry, roaring out of the woods, and the horse's hooves moved to the place where Liu Liangchen was behind, completely cutting off their retreat.
So far, in a short period of time, Liu Liangchen's 30,000 lightly armed troops have been surrounded by the Tang army and trapped in a pocket formation that can no longer be escaped, like a turtle in an urn.
Seeing that he had fallen into a desperate situation in an instant, Liu Liangchen was anxious and angry, and he immediately ordered the whole army to form a team and break through to the rear.
A fierce battle broke out in an instant.
Just when the enemy army was in disarray, the Tang infantry surrounded from three sides was rapidly approaching them in a neat and orderly formation.
The battle formations of the Tang army surrounded on three sides were almost all lined up, all of them were a long snake formation with a width almost equal to that of Liukou, and thousands of shield soldiers were lined up, and there were two rows of sharp and sharp shields, like a temporary steel wall.
Behind the shield soldiers, there are dense spearmen, on the steel wall built by the shield soldiers, above each shield, there is a 4-meter stainless steel spear with a cold light, like a poisonous dragon ready to attack, fiercely aimed at the prey that is getting closer and closer to them on the opposite side.
The Tang Army's spearmen had three layers, which could ensure that there were enough troops to fill the losses, and the entire formation was very strict and full of awe-inspiring murderous aura.
Soon, as if by magic, above each of the shields of the iron, beside each of the spearmen who were ready to attack, there was another musketeer with flintlock.
They quickly prepared, and the muzzle of the black hole in everyone's hand was immediately aimed at the Liu Liangchen troops who were messing up the whole team on the opposite side.
A red flag at the head of the city was raised high and waved down with all its might.
"Ready, fire!"
With the angry shout of the chief of the firecrackers, nearly 7,000 firecrackers were fired from three sides, and a total of more than 6,500 firecrackers were fired.
"Bang bang bang! ……”
