Chapter 803: Take the initiative
Li Fengti has benevolence in his heart, and just such a thought of benevolence will cause endless disasters. Li Ziqian knew his son very well, so he was afraid that Li Fengti would not be able to cope with it, so he urgently sent Wang Yingren over to help, but when Wang Yingren arrived, the situation was completely out of control, and the people and soldiers were mixed together. The time is almost up, Zhao Yougong changed into a silver armor uniform, tens of thousands of soldiers and the cavalry of the ancient town were also ready to fight, stepped on the war horse, and behind him Shi Wengong, Gao Chong, Li Bao and others lined up, "Open the city gate, the enemy army has been in chaos, it is a good opportunity for thieves, success or failure in this move, the generals will listen to the order and kill Li Ziqian!" ”
"Kill Li Ziqian. Kill Li Ziqian" shouted outside the city, and as the city gate opened, countless soldiers poured out, Li Fengti's face turned pale and his lips trembled, because the timing of the Han people was too accurate. At this moment, he has only one thought, that is, to withdraw, hurry up, if it is too late, none of the more than 8,000 soldiers outside Xicheng will survive.
The cavalry of the ancient town is in front, the iron cable chain horse is responsible for cutting, the sharp iron rope has no mercy, as long as the people in front of the people, whether they are enemy soldiers or people, all killed, the people are already in chaos, these are even more chaotic, time tramples on each other, pushes each other, and all kinds of dark sides of human nature are revealed here. The crazy people began to attack the Goryeo soldiers who were blocking the front, and the soldiers were also angered by their own people. It's a pity that no one will be reasonable at this time, and everyone is killing in order to survive.
Outside the western city wall, the king's generals had no power to resist, and those who were killed lost their armor and were defeated like a plague. In fact, at this time, Li Ziqian still had a way to reverse the situation, that is, to enter the royal capital along the open south gate. Then think from the inside and slowly control the situation. It's a pity that when the plague of defeat came, all Li Ziqian could think of was how to preserve his strength, where did he still want to get the royal capital?
The rout and the people mixed together, fleeing for their lives in a panic, and Cui Zhuo's department became the first victim of the rout. Under the sweep of the rout, Cui Zhuo's troops were completely chaotic. Cui Zhuo secretly scolded God, so many people rushed over, they could step on it into a meatloaf just by stepping on it, the Han people didn't have much to do, they just needed to follow behind the rout and wield a knife, how could this battle go on? At the same time, Cui Zhuo also felt that he and Li Ziqian had really miscalculated. They completely ignored the fact that the Han people did not need to be responsible for the people of the royal capital at all. If it were him and Li Ziqian, they would inevitably guard the city and protect the people, how could they drive the people to be pawns? In the final analysis, the king is the royal capital of the Goryeo, not the royal capital of the Han people, but everyone is used to thinking that the Han people occupying the royal capital will also win the hearts of the people. Be kind to the people. Now it's good, what kind to the people. It's just stinky bullshit, and they directly drove half of the people out of the city.
With the defeat in the west and north, Li Ziqian's defeat was inevitable, but Li Ziqian was a master of the art of war in the world, so he immediately ordered to abandon the position in the east and retreat directly to the camp in Miaozhen. At the same time, a line of defense was established against the wall of the camp in Miaozhen, and only the king's generals were allowed to pass, and all the people were blocked outside. At this time, Li Ziqian doesn't have to think about his reputation, as long as he can preserve his strength, he is willing to do anything. Many people died under the knife of Li Ziqian's subordinates. However, the effect is significant, the chaotic flow of people has finally been blocked, and the pursuit of the **** has also stopped outside the camp in Miaozhen. But after all, it was a victory, the smoke outside the royal capital was filled, the banners were scattered everywhere, the corpses were one by one, and almost three people were sandwiched between a royal soldier.
In the camp of Miaozhen, when the statistics came out after the war, Li Ziqian only felt that his blood was rushing to his throat, and he almost didn't lose his breath. There are more than 30,000 troops, and now there are less than 10,000 left, hehe, the power that he Li Ziqian has been working hard for more than ten years has been ruined like this.
If the years give us a lifetime, we should decide what the future holds with our hands, and if the light is obscured by a thick fog, we should have the courage to pierce the dawn. At this moment, Li Ziqian, who once dominated Goryeo, is facing a difficult choice. Although Ding **** has not yet attacked the camp of Miaozhen, with the passage of time, Ding **** will definitely completely break through the camp of Miaozhen, because how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch? Zhao Yougong now has the absolute strength to take the Miaozhen camp, and after losing more than 20,000 troops, Li Ziqian no longer has the confidence to hold the Miaozhen camp. Forcibly staying in the camp in Miaozhen is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, he failed, but it does not mean that he will die from now on. In the big tent, Wang Jiangshi's face was not very good-looking, he had just experienced a fiasco, and it was when his morale was low, of course, the most frustrated and depressed person was Cui Zhuo. From Hanyang City to the royal capital, almost every head-on collision ended in failure, and this time it was difficult to occupy the advantage, but it was defeated by more than 100,000 people in the royal capital.
"King, Cui feels that the Miaozhen camp has lost the meaning of garrisoning, it is better to take advantage of the **** to rest and recuperate, and temporarily retreat north to Pingchuan City, if you wait until the Han people come to ease, sooner or later they will do something to the Miaozhen camp" Cui Zhuo said this is tantamount to telling everyone that the Miaozhen camp can't be defended, and it is also a disguised belittlement of the combat effectiveness of the Wangdu army. If it was before, the generals would definitely fight on the basis of reason, but after a few big battles, they have fully realized the gap between the two sides. used to laugh at the sissies of the Choi army in Hanyang City, but now they themselves have followed in their footsteps. Retreating to Pingchuan City, of course, is a good choice, there is also Li Ziqian's 7,000 army, and if you join forces, it is also a big force. The problem is that Pingchuan City is too close to Xichuan, who knows what Wang Bengu thinks? Wang Bengu did things that fell into the well, which was very handy.
Li Ziqian and Wang Bengu are a pair of old enemies, I'm afraid no one knows Wang Bengu better than Li Ziqian, "General Wang, you will set off tomorrow for a trip to Xichuan, and tell Wang Bengu that this king will lead the troops to garrison Pingchuan City, if he wants to die together, he can do his best to fight Pingchuan City." This king was not afraid of him before, and he will not be afraid of him now. ”
Li Ziqian's words can hear a little anger, of course, he is also quite sure, although Wang Bengu is narrow-minded, but he should not be confused about right and wrong. Now that the royal capital has fallen, it is bound to go north along the official road, and the first thing to be fought at that time is Xichuan City, and Wang Bengu should not be stupid enough to annex Wang Jiangshi at this time.
Cui Zhuo also believed in Li Ziqian's judgment, but he was still a little worried. The Han people had just won a big victory, how could they allow Wang Du Shiping to retreat to Pingchuan City peacefully? In fact, Cui Zhuo has been thinking about why he has been defeated repeatedly, Li Ziqian is also a generation of heroes, and he has also planted such a big heel outside the royal capital, what is the reason? It seems that there is only one reason, that is, every time the initiative seems to be in the hands of Zhao Yougong. He is like a knight holding the reins, and he can fight as much as he wants, so Wang Jiang will be extremely passive, "King, we must make some changes, if you want to retreat to Pingchuan City safely, you must turn the attention of the **** elsewhere." ”
Li Ziqian is a smart person, he nodded and asked in a deep voice. "Master Cui, I don't know what your plan is?"
"It's very simple, let's attack it and save it, before we completely ignored the sailor fleet docked in the hot spring town, I heard that this fleet was built by Zhao Yougong at a huge cost, a few days ago Li Bao led the navy army to attack the royal capital, so there must be very few people stationed in the hot spring town. If a surprise army sneaks up on the sailor fleet from the water at this time, it will definitely be very rewarding. As long as there is a problem in the hot spring town, Zhao Yougong will never ignore it. When the Han people rush to the help of the hot spring town, they won't be able to take care of us. ”
"Sneak attack on the Sailor fleet?" It's not that Li Ziqian hasn't thought about this method, but it's too difficult to do it, and the biggest problem is where to get the boat. Goryeo is not as good as Ding****, there are four keel ships of the Dingguo Army's sailors alone, Goryeo. Not to mention keel ships, even smaller sailboats are rare, the difference in strength is too great, how can you fight with other people's **** sailors without a ship, and go to sea. It's not that a lot of people is powerful, no matter how many people there are, if you fall into the water, you have to become a king. After pondering for a long time, Li Ziqian finally had a clever plan, he beckoned, and motioned for Wang Yingren to come over, "After you arrive at Xichuan City, you must pretend to be unintentional and reveal a news, that is, the Han fleet in Hot Spring Town is carrying countless treasures. ”
As soon as Li Ziqian said this, Wang Yingren understood, hehe, Wang Bengu's guy is famous for his love of money, if he knows that there are gold and silver treasures in the fleet of the water division in Hot Spring Town, it is difficult to ensure that he is not moved. Li Ziqian couldn't get a boat even if he tried his best, but Wang Bengu could, the Wang family itself has a fleet that transports goods all year round, plus the nearby fishing boats, it is completely enough to attack and disturb the hot spring town.
Li Ziqian was planning how to withdraw from the camp in Miaozhen, Zhao Yougong naturally figured out how to make a little cheaper, if Li Ziqian didn't take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill when he withdrew his troops, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity? Of course, Zhao Yougong didn't know anything about Wang Yingren, and if he knew, he wouldn't be so optimistic. In Xichuan City, Wang Bengu's life is much more comfortable than Li Ziqian's, since he decided to besiege Wang Du, his heart is like smearing honey, there is a way to be a dog's tooth and a dog's mouth, it is best for these two dogs to fight to the death.
Wang Yingren rushed to Xichuan City in only five hours, although he was also surnamed King of Goryeo, but Wang Bengu did not look at this brother very much, because this person was born in the Tiger Head Army. He didn't take it very seriously, and he was beaten up, but Wang Yingren didn't take it to heart, and at night, he quietly leaked the matter of the hot spring town. Wang Bengu didn't know that he was calculated by Li Ziqian, he was full of thoughts at this time how to rob the hot spring town, now most of the Han sailor army is in the royal capital, when will he not sneak attack at this time? With Wang Bengu's order, Li Ziqian's plan to lead the water to the east was a complete success.
On February 19 of the second year of Taikang, the peaceful hot spring town suddenly changed drastically, and countless ships appeared on the northwest sea, although these ships were small, but this is the offshore sea, and it is not unusual for ants to bite and kill elephants. When Li Bao left, he handed over the fleet to Vice Admiral Mi Fei, and there was nothing to do in Hot Spring Town for a few days, and suddenly this situation occurred, Mi Fei suddenly panicked, he ordered to ask for reinforcements without thinking about it, and then all the sailors and soldiers in Hot Spring Town boarded the ship, gave up garrisoning Hot Spring Town, and drove the fleet to the open sea to wait for battle. The most correct thing Mi Fei did in his panic was to drive the fleet to the far sea, and the offshore battle could not give full play to the advantages of the sailors, but he was in a hurry to ask for reinforcements, and he was completely calculated by others.
There was movement on the side of the camp in Miaozhen, and General Wang was ready to go, Zhao Yougong naturally wanted to send him off, "Changke, you go and prepare, and lead your brothers to see off Li Ziqian in a while, otherwise, wouldn't it be very lonely to walk so far?" ”
Zhao Yougong was happy too early, Gao Chong's side was not ready, and the report of the hot spring town asking for help was sent to the royal capital. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Yougong still decided to rush to the aid of Hot Spring Town first, for Ding ****, the sailor fleet is far more important than Li Ziqian's soldiers and horses. Li Bao and Gao Chong led the troops to Hot Spring Town, and when they arrived, the battle was fierce, and countless unmanned fishing boats helped the sharp iron rods to crash into the giant ship, and three huge ships had been restrained and could not move. Seeing this, Li Baoqi's face turned green, this Mi Fei is really too young, in the face of this situation, why do you need the giant ship in front, you just need to put those ironclad collision ships in front, the ironclad collision ship rushed back and forth a few times, and most of these small Goryeo sailing ships had to be overturned. There was no time to worry about Mi Fei's affairs, Li Bao was concerned about the sailor fleet, and immediately said, "General Gao, please order the cavalry brothers to find more things to ignite the fire, and try to create chaos in the rear of the enemy army." ”
Due to the addition of cavalry, the situation on the battlefield was reversed, and Wang Bengu's sneak attack plan was completely ruined, but the retreat plan of the Miaozhen battalion went very smoothly. Without the help of the cavalry, it would be impossible for Zhao Yougong to let the foot soldiers rush forward, and it would be bad if he was killed by others. Of course, Wang Bengu, who had nothing to gain in the hot spring town, also knew that he had fallen into a bad situation, but he could only swallow his anger, just as Li Ziqian expected, no matter how nonsense he was, it was impossible for him to be cheap to the Han people.
The war in Goryeo was in full swing, and it didn't seem to be going well, and in the Gyeonggi Road of the Great Song Dynasty, it was also facing an unprecedented battle. For the people of Jingshi, I have heard that the most tragic war recently was the Fang La Rebellion back then, but the current situation facing Gyeonggi Road is far more than ten times more terrible than the Fang La Rebellion. In February, Tian Xingmao's Song Jiang soldiers and horses, the rebel Ye Dahu's army, and Chai Yonghao's army had a total of four soldiers and horses, and 110,000 troops threatened Tangzhou together. At this point, the situation has become clear, that is, whether it is Ye Dahu or Tian Xingmao, these soldiers and horses are all used by the Chai family (to be continued.) )
