"Hmm."
After listening to Yang Wenyue's words, Chen Yongfu only responded slightly, his eyes looked out of the city, and he didn't show too much joy.
Maybe it was because of Qi Wei before, so Chen Yongfu didn't like Li Zixiao very much.
This time, seeing Li Zixiao leading a large army to support, although he was also relieved, he was far less happy than other Ming army soldiers.
And for Li Zixiao, Chen Yongfu knows more than other Ming army soldiers.
Chen Yongfu has long known what Li Zixiao did in Jiangbei, and it can be said unceremoniously that Li Zixiao is the overlord of Jiangbei at this time.
Most of the Ming officials in the entire three prefectures of Jiangbei were replaced by Li Zixiao, and even if they were not replaced, they all took refuge in Li Zixiao and were willing to work for him.
The current Jiangbei is completely Li Zixiao's words, and even the orders of the imperial court are not as effective as Li Zixiao's words in Jiangbei.
To a certain extent, Li Zixiao at this time is like a feudal town that is divided from the outside world, in fact, Chen Yongfu is in his heart, why don't he want to become a 'feudal town' like Li Zixiao.
And his old nest is Kaifeng, and now Chen Yongfu is in Kaifeng, although he can't completely control Jiangbei like Li Zixiao.
But at least, now Chen Yongfu is in Kaifeng.
Let him manage it well for another two years, and with the current situation of the weakening of the imperial court, in a few years, he can completely become the second Li Zixiao.
But now, Li Zixiao took the initiative to lead the army to help, and it was clear that he had taken a fancy to Kaifeng, otherwise Chen Yongfu believed that Li Zixiao would never be so kind.
In Chen Yongfu's eyes, Li Zixiao is a careerist, unscrupulous for the sake of profit, and it is impossible to rescue them in vain.
At the same time, at this time, Chen Yongfu also had such a voice in his heart: No matter what, Li Zixiao's men must not be allowed to enter Kaifeng City.
"I haven't repelled the hungry wolf yet, and there is another fierce tiger, the big fat meat of Kaifeng City, everyone really wants to take a bite!
The only hope now is to let this group of hungry wolves and this fierce tiger fight fiercely, and it is best to lose both, so as to keep Kaifeng City! ”
At this time, Chen Yongfu said in a low voice that only he could hear.
"Kill the thief, kill the thief!"
At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army on the city wall of Kaifeng did not want Chen Yongfu to think so much.
These Ming soldiers were very excited at this time, they thought very simply, their reinforcements arrived, Kaifeng City would not be broken by thieves, and their families would be safe.
Even, at this moment, the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Ming Army who survived in Kaifeng City were all shouting excitedly, shouting loudly and morale was high.
"General Chen, now that the morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow, I think we can send a team of men and horses to fight outside the city, support the general of Zhenguo, and beat the thieves."
Yang Wenyue didn't notice Chen Yongfu's selfishness, and proposed to him at this time.
"No, I don't agree."
Faced with Yang Wenyue's proposal, Chen Yongfu refused without hesitation.
"Why?" Yang Wenyue asked puzzled.
'Nonsense, in the eyes of Lao Tzu, whether it is a thief or Li Zixiao, they are all here to rob Lao Tzu's Kaifeng City, Li Zicheng's thief is hateful, and this Li Zixiao is not a good bird.
I really thought that he Li Zixiao would come to the rescue of Lao Tzu for no reason, but he didn't fall in love with Kaifeng City.
Lao Tzu now wishes that Li Zixiao and Li Zicheng are two traitors, and they will kill both outside the city, so let me go out of the city now to help Li Zixiao, and daydream. ’
This is Chen Yongfu's true thoughts in his heart at this time, but of course he can't answer Yang Wenyue like this on the surface.
I saw that Chen Yongfu looked at Yang Wenyue, his face softened, and said: "General Yang, look around, the previous battle was too difficult, and the soldiers were injured and rewound, so it is not appropriate to fight again."
Moreover, it would not be good if we opened the gates of the city and went out of the city, and the thieves took advantage of the opportunity to kill them into the city.
Then it is no longer to help General Li Zixiao, but to make trouble for him.
Now, for us, the best way is to close the city gate and hold Kaifeng City, as for those thieves outside the city, I believe that General Li is enough to deal with them.
General Li's subordinates are all elite divisions, even the Tartars are not afraid, and they have defeated the thieves several times before, this time Li Zicheng will still not be an opponent.
Let's watch the battle in peace on the city, and watch General Li lead his generals and sweep away the thieves. ”
"This ......"
In the face of Chen Yongfu's statement, although Yang Wenyue disagreed with it in his heart, it was not good to continue to oppose anything.
"Kill!"
At this time, the situation on the battlefield outside the city was also changing rapidly, and the more than 20,000 foot soldiers led by Li Zixiao were still slowly advancing from east to west.
And Li Zicheng's side is also using his Chinese army as the backbone, quickly absorbing other intruders around him, rearranging the formation, and facing the White Dragon Army coming from the east.
Li Zicheng, these soldiers, are worthy of being veterans who have survived several tragic battles, although the sudden appearance of the White Dragon Army made them panic.
But as Li Zicheng was still firmly in charge of the Chinese army, the banner of the word 'Chuang' was still waving in the wind, and the surrounding soldiers and soldiers who were originally panicked also quickly stabilized under the shouting and command of the generals one by one.
"Haha, good!" Li Zicheng laughed and said.
At this time, the surrounding soldiers and soldiers quickly completed the assembly towards their own Chinese army, rearranged the formation, and confronted the White Dragon Army coming from the east, and the two sides were almost two or three miles apart.
"Shout, I haven't seen you this year, and the people under Li Zicheng have become decent!"
When Li Zixiao looked at the surrounding soldiers and soldiers, and quickly completed the assembly of their Chinese army, he couldn't help but show his eyes and spoke.
Immediately, Li Zixiao said to himself: "No wonder Li Zicheng dared not withdraw the army this time, it turned out that he really had the courage, and the development speed of his subordinates to break into the army was faster than I imagined."
However, even so, if you dare to start a war in today's battle, Lao Tzu will take it.
However, if Lao Tzu really fights with Li Zicheng's army today and fights under Kaifeng City, my chances of winning are really not great.
Even if the battlefield situation is favorable to me at this time, and I finally win this battle, I can only win a miserable victory, and when that time comes, Chen Yongfu, can you still let me lead troops into Kaifeng?
Therefore, Li Zicheng can be burned with anger in this battle, but I can't, this decisive battle can't be fought, I can only force Li Zicheng away. ”
Li Zixiao was thinking quickly in his mind at this time, Li Zixiao did not plan to fight with Li Zicheng today under Kaifeng City.
Originally, Li Zixiao thought that after he led his troops to suddenly kill and destroyed Li Zicheng's siege, he would take the initiative to retreat when he saw that the situation on the battlefield was unfavorable.
However, in the end, Li Zixiao still underestimated Li Zicheng's hatred for him, and this time he did not hesitate to fight Li Zixiao under Kaifeng City.
But at this time, it is not in the interests of Li Zixiao to fight a decisive battle with Li Zicheng!
In this battle, if he really fights Li Zicheng, it will definitely end up being a lose-lose outcome, and Li Zixiao will bring too few people this time.
At that time, if Li Zicheng is disabled, Li Zixiao doesn't want to see it, otherwise when will Li Zicheng break through the Jingshi and destroy the Ming Dynasty!
Li Zixiao is anxiously waiting to take over the Ming Dynasty and restore the order in China, a new dynasty will change the world!
And at this time, Li Zixiao made a decision in his heart, this battle could not be a decisive battle between him and Li Zicheng, he was not ready, and Li Zicheng could no longer be disabled by him.
If Li Zicheng is really disabled again, it will be difficult for him to have a chance to break through Luoyang again, and it will be difficult for him to rise again in a short time.
"The whole army stops advancing!"
At this time, Li Zixiao suddenly ordered.
The standard-bearer on the side, at first, thought that Li Zixiao was preparing to give an order for the whole army to attack in an all-out way, and he was excited to raise the flag.
As a result, the 'stop advancing' he heard made the flag he stretched out stop abruptly, and he had to temporarily change the slogan.
"The whole army stops advancing!"
As Li Zixiao's order was passed on, soon the White Dragon Army's five foot soldiers phalanx, and more than 20,000 White Dragon soldiers stopped advancing and stopped.
At this time, between the team of the White Dragon Army and Li Zicheng's 40,000 horses of the Chinese army, in this narrow interval area of only two or three miles, the two cavalry were still strangled together.
However, at this time, don't look at the cavalry on Li Zicheng's side There are more than 5,000 people, and Qi Wei's side is only about 3,000 people, but the battlefield situation is indeed Qi Wei is pressing Zhang Shijie to fight.
Needless to say, the cavalry equipment of the White Dragon Army is still much better than the cavalry under Li Zicheng, plus Qi Wei's Feiyu Battalion, but it is the earliest cavalry battalion of the White Dragon Army.
Inside the cavalry of the Flying Feather Battalion. All of them are veterans, and the least of them have been in the army for more than half a year, and this is still supplemented by those reserves.
Two-thirds of the cavalry of the Flying Feather Battalion are veterans of more than two years, and they are skilled in combat, and they have a tacit understanding of their usual tactics.
As for Han Tong's 1,000 scout battalion, it is not bad, after all, those who can be scouts are all elites selected from the cavalry.
I saw that at this time, Qi Wei divided the three thousand cavalry of the Feiyu Battalion and the Scout Battalion into three teams, and kept the formation unscattered, rushing back and forth to kill Zhang Shijie's cavalry.
The two sides were evenly matched at the beginning, but as the battle continued, when Qi Wei led his men twice in a row and broke the two cavalry squads of the invading army, the invading cavalry was in chaos.
By now, Qi Wei had almost led the cavalry of the Flying Feather Battalion under his command and completely controlled the rhythm of the battle, and the formation of the cavalry had been dispersed.
Even if Zhang Shijie was also very brave, but he was powerless to recover the unfavorable battlefield situation, if it weren't for the more cavalry under him, it is estimated that he would have been killed.
Woooooo
At this time, Li Zixiao's horn suddenly sounded, and Qi Wei, who was still fighting, turned his head sharply after hearing it.
I saw that Li Zixiao's central phalanx was blowing a trumpet, and the standard-bearer was standing on a high platform and waving a flag at him.
"Withdraw!"
Qi Wei recognized that it was Li Zixiao's order to retreat, and Qi Wei did not hesitate too much, even if the battlefield situation was favorable to them at this time, he still directly issued the order to withdraw.
Qi Wei knew Li Zixiao's thoughts from the beginning, and understood that Li Zixiao's battle was not to force Li Zicheng to fight a decisive battle, so he understood why Li Zixiao asked him to withdraw at this time.
Thundered!
The military order was like a mountain, Qi Wei did not care about the battle situation they had the advantage at this time, and soon led the cavalry of the White Dragon Army with Han Tong, and quickly broke away from contact with the cavalry of the Chuang Army.
Then, Qi Wei and Han Tong each led more than a thousand cavalry and inserted them into the gap between the five foot soldiers of the White Dragon Army.
"Let's get out too."
After watching Qi Wei withdraw smoothly, Zhang Shijie looked unwilling.
However, when he looked at the scattered cavalry men around him, and saw the happy looks on their faces, he had to lead the people to retreat.
The skills are not as good as others, although Zhang Shijie is unwilling in this battle, he is still very convinced by the cavalry of the White Dragon Army, and they are indeed invincible.
"What the hell is Li Zixiao doing?"
When Li Zicheng saw Li Zixiao suddenly stop the team in the distance and recall the cavalry, Li Zicheng was also very confused.
After all, at this time, although Li Zicheng's side initially stabilized the morale of the army and lined up the formation, it was still a relatively good offensive point for the White Dragon Army.
Now that the White Dragon Army has stopped advancing, this is not deliberately leaving more time for the Chuang Army to regroup, it is equivalent to giving the Chuang Army a chance to win.
"Haha, Li Zixiao is careless with this thief, he actually stopped attacking at this time, just to give us more time to regroup, and when this king reorganizes the Chinese army, he will defeat him this time."
At this time, Li Zicheng was not aware of Li Zixiao's intentions at all, and was still immersed in his plan, and said excitedly.
"King Chuang, Li Zixiao asked his men to stop advancing, it shouldn't be his carelessness, but his deliberate doing!"
At this time, Niu Jinxing next to him stood up and said.
Li Zicheng heard that Niu Jinxing was against him again, he was a little unhappy, and his face was gloomy, but he still attached great importance to Niu Jinxing and did not say anything to blame.
"Strategist, what do you say?"
Gao Guiying saw her husband's face gloomy, and knew that Li Zicheng was unhappy.
But Gao Guiying knows Li Zicheng very well, and knows that Li Zicheng must also want to listen to Niu Jin's statement now, but he doesn't want to speak.
And Gao Guiying herself was also very interested in Niu Jinxing's statement, so she took the initiative to ask for her husband.
"King Chuang, madam, because once this battle starts, it will not be beneficial to both of us, and the king and Li Zixiao are actually not ready for a decisive battle with each other now!
On the other side, Li Zixiao actually doesn't want to fight with us at this time, and our side can't fight with Li Zixiao under Kaifeng City at this time! ”
Niu Jinxing was really anxious at this time, he thought much more far-reaching than Li Zicheng, to a certain extent, he and Li Zixiao thought together.
However, Niu Jinxing looked at it from the standpoint of breaking into the army, and also saw that this battle could not be fought, or that it could not be fought in a big way, but it could be fought in a small way.
"Okay, the military advisor doesn't need to say it anymore, this Li Zixiao has repeatedly done bad things for this king, the enemy has ridden on the king's head and, you still let this king endure it!"
Li Zicheng was very unhappy, stared at Niu Jinxing, and said, don't persuade anyone, this battle Lao Tzu has made a decision.
