Chapter 552: Troops Sent to Gansu
Cheng Xiaolian rushed to Shaanxi three days after the wedding, Daniel Zhang's group of cavalry all died in Sichuan, Gansu does not have so many soldiers, he must be empty, Cheng Xiaolian has to do is to take advantage of his illness and ask for his life.
On the other side, Cai Yurong was very angry, obviously to let him cooperate with Daniel Zhang, he finally mobilized a large army, and as a result, the news of the destruction of Daniel Zhang's cavalry came out, if this news was transmitted back to the Beijing division, if the emperor knew that Daniel Zhang's army had been completely destroyed and he had not yet sent troops, he would have to let him carry this black pot.
But this black cauldron is really not something he can carry, and he has not two or three hundred people under him, saying that he wants to send troops, it is impossible to send troops the next day, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and he has an army of 100,000 people, although there are not so many people in fact, but it is not so easy to deploy for a while. Besides, it is winter now, and today must be counted as tomorrow's war, and we must not eat up tomorrow's food just because of today's war.
According to the rules of the Qing army, food can be eaten as much as you like during wartime, and it must be distributed strictly according to the amount when you are free, and some soldiers can't eat enough at all, but they don't fight, and they don't die of hunger.
The consumption of food in this war is much more serious than when they are on standby, if the food from the court cannot be delivered on time, then they will have to go hungry, and the army will be prone to mutiny without food.
Finally, when Cai Yurong had enough food to prepare for battle, the news of Daniel Zhang's army was completely destroyed at this time. Cai Yurong sent someone to inquire what was going on, while scolding Daniel Zhang for being incompetent, but at this time, the plan to send troops could only be stopped, after all, he could not attack Tongguan in winter.
Before he could find out the news, he heard the news that the Daming army sent troops to Gansu, Cai Yurong smiled helplessly, and could only start to reorganize the battle, without thinking about it, he knew that if Cai Yurong really watched Daniel Zhang be destroyed by the Daming army, he, the governor of Shaanxi, would also be the end.
Cheng Xiaolian did not mean to be polite to Daniel Zhang at all, and pulled out all the men and horses defending Pingliang Mansion and went straight to the border of Gansu.
At the beginning, when Wang ~ Fuchen was in his heyday, he also laid down half of Gansu, but was overturned by Daniel Zhang's design and returned to Pingliang Mansion.
Now Meng Ke led the troops to guard Tongguan, and Wang Jiyong took the recruits and veterans to Gansu with Cheng Xiaolian to kill, this battle was not only for the Ming Dynasty, but also for himself, in order to avenge the killing of his father.
Daniel Zhang waited for the good news of Hu Mao's triumph in Gansu and did not wait, but waited for the news of Daming's dispatch of troops, and then inquired carefully, Hu Mao was killed in Sichuan with his army.
Cheng Xiaolian was not polite at all, and took the two cities without much effort, and at this time Daniel Zhang could not sit still in Lintao Mansion, if he continued to consume like this, he was afraid that the entire Gansu would not be able to be saved.
But since he retreated from the defeat in Shaanxi, his vitality has not yet recovered, and he has no certainty of victory against his old opponent.
However, Daniel Zhang's soldiers and horses are not very many, especially the cavalry, because he wants to make up horses for Hu Mao, he has eaten up his old bottom, and the current cavalry can only be called up, but the number is too small compared to Wang Jiyong's cavalry.
Before the war, Daniel Zhang stood on the platform of the general: "Not long ago, we were killed by Wang ~ Fuchen and collapsed, but we did not give up, and finally killed Wang ~ Fuchen with all our might, and now we are in the same predicament as before, I will ask you, do you have the confidence to defeat the enemy with me?" ”
"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”
"When you return victoriously, everyone will be promoted to three levels!"
Daniel Zhang's prestige in the Gansu army is extremely high, otherwise he would not still be able to pull up a team willing to fight with him at this time, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
At this time, Cheng Xiaolian's army also received an urgent report, and Cai Yurong began to lead the army to storm Tongguan City.
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "It looks like this Cai Yurong can't hold on." ”
"Naturally, he can't do nothing anymore, if Hu Mao is still able to use the excuse that we are too fast to make arrangements, Daniel Zhang is killed by us again, it is estimated that the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will kill him."
Cheng Xiaolian snorted: "Attacking the city in winter is a taboo for soldiers, and they originally coordinated with each other, but now they are attacked by us separately, and they have fallen into passivity, as long as we quickly defeat Daniel Zhang, and then rush back, we can kill two birds with one stone." ”
Wang Jiyong smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, don't be careless, my father was killed by Daniel Zhang's treachery because of carelessness, Daniel Zhang is a very cunning person, no matter what, we can't underestimate him." ”
"Don't worry, I'm just addicted, we don't have the strength to kill two birds with one stone, if it weren't for the Tongguan Danger, we wouldn't be able to stop Cai Yurong's army, it is known as an army of 100,000, even if there are no 100,000, there will always be 50,000, if these people fight Meng Ke face to face, it is estimated that Meng Ke will not be able to kill him if he dies of exhaustion."
Wang Jiyong nodded: "Daniel Zhang has been operating in Gansu for many years, and his prestige in Shaanxi Province is not much different from my father's, so we must not only be careful of his army, but also guard against the people around him." ”
At this time, a brocade-clothed guard ran over: "Your Highness, Lintao Mansion is urgent." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Daniel Zhang led the army out of Lintao Mansion and came towards us."
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "This Daniel Zhang didn't stick to the city, but took the initiative to fight, was his brain kicked by a donkey?" ”
Wang Jiyong smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, Lintao Mansion is no better than Xi'an Mansion, Xi'an Mansion is not short of food with high walls, Lintao Mansion has nothing, the key is that Daniel Zhang does not have much food in his hands, as long as we surround the city, it won't take long for his defenders to starve to death, so he will definitely come out and fight with us, and he knows the terrain of Gansu well, but our eyes are black, if he leads us to set fire somewhere, we will be all finished." ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "General Wang seems to be a little too cautious. ”
Wang Jiyong's face darkened: "The person I admire the most in my life is my father, even my father was defeated by Daniel Zhang, and finally ended up with a death, although I really want to avenge him, but I will definitely not allow myself to be killed by Daniel Zhang because of greed for merit and return defeated, because then I will lose the opportunity for revenge." ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, I have indeed grown a lot." ”
