Chapter 323: Besieging Fang City
"Yes, General, we went on this expedition, but we didn't get the approval of King Daxi, once we suffered a fiasco, King Daxi will definitely be angry, even if you don't ask for the guilt, Sun Kewang That guy has been waiting to see your jokes, this battle, won, we don't have much credit, defeated, that's a sin......"
Dong Qishan, the deputy general on the side, also hurriedly persuaded.
Other words, Li Dingguo didn't listen to it, but the analysis of the current situation was listened to, outside the city of Nanyang Mansion, there are at least twenty or thirty thousand elite Ming troops, even if they can't compare to the fierce cavalry in front of them, the combat power is no worse than their own cavalry, once they fall into the heavy encirclement of the Ming army here, if Liu Tichun and his main infantry force can't keep up, then he will be really miserable!
"Damn it!"
However, it is really a little unwilling to let Li Dingguo withdraw his troops like this, after all, how can he suffer in vain?
"Order, the army stopped attacking, temporarily retreated for three miles, and stationed on the spot, waiting for the main force of General Liu Tichun in the rear to come up!"
Finally, Li Dingguo made up his mind, knew advance and retreat, knew the current affairs, could bend and stretch, and control his emotions, which was the quality that a famous general should have, at this point, Li Dingguo was indeed much more mature than Qin Mufeng opposite.
However, Li Dingguo's dedication to the army is not fighting, Qin Mufeng is indeed dumbfounded, although there are two fierce battles, and the casualties of the Chinese army's elite cavalry are not small, but it is far from the time when it can no longer be supported, and now the opponent has given up the attack like this, and is still thinking about retreating behind, so the assault of the two cavalry prepared by Xu Yifan is not a waste in vain, and it has completely lost its due effect?
Assault now? Li Dingguo has nearly 10,000 troops, and they are all elite cavalry, the strength of the two sides is almost the same, a big battle, even if Tongzhou Town wins, it is a tragic victory of 1,000 injured enemies and 800 self-losses, and the gains outweigh the losses!
"Someone, immediately send a letter to Xu Yifan in the back, saying that the thief suddenly chose a truce and retreated, ask him, next, what should we do?"
Qin Mufeng felt a shock in his heart, as if he had punched the air, and people chose not to play with you, which made Qin Mufeng, who was preparing for a bloody battle, feel aggrieved!
Soon, Xu Yifan came to Lanjiapo, looking at the Xianjun in the distance, Xu Yifan's brows furrowed tightly.
"Brother Fan, tell me, what's going on? Originally, this thief attacked very violently, and even Li Dingguo began to charge into battle in person, but suddenly, he withdrew, no longer attacked, and died in a hurry, not a big spark splashed, how could we suddenly attack? How do you kill this cavalry? This cavalry is too much of a threat to us! ”
Qin Mufeng said urgently.
Xu Yifan said slowly: "Don't worry, maybe it's a good thing for us!" ”
"A good thing? How so? ”
Xu Yifan replied: "The two wars just now have made the thieves see clearly the strong combat power of the Chinese army's elite cavalry, after all, they are thieves, not thieves, this time it is to help, not to share life and death with the Ming army, fighting for territory, so they naturally have no need to fight with us to the death, presumably Li Dingguo also felt that the capture of Lanjiapo will bring them huge casualties, so they can only give up temporarily, wait for the thieves to come up and then let the thieves take the lead, and save the strength of the thieves......"
Qin Mufeng's eyes lit up, and he was very reasonable, but what should he do next? If Li Dingguo insists on retreating, it will be almost impossible for his side to eat this cavalry, and it will be difficult to defeat others!
"But, Brother Fan, they don't take the initiative to fight, they insist on defense, aren't we helpless, their combat power is not weak, we take the initiative to attack, and the casualties we can't afford to lose!"
Qin Mufeng asked astringently.
Qin Mufeng took a deep breath and sighed: "It's all my fault, a wrong move, just let us fall into passivity, there is no other way, the army is immediately rectified, in the direction of Fangcheng, ready to retreat, otherwise, when the main force of Huguang's reinforcements arrives, we will be caught in the middle, when the time comes, the back will be broken, we will be very dangerous......"
Hey!
Qin Mufeng waved the whip in his hand aggrievedly, this battle was too aggrieved, there was no way, who let the troops in his hands be too small, if the five battalions in Tongzhou Town arrived, who would be polite to them, they would have already rushed up and dueled to the death!
"Don't be depressed, Mu Feng, now is not the time to be reckless, return to the army immediately, clean up Fangcheng first, this time you must not let Liu Fangliang run away, withdraw the army overnight, go straight to Fangcheng, and take Fangcheng as quickly as possible! Then occupy the square city, confront the thief and the thief, take the whole of Henan in a month, this time I'm afraid that I won't be able to complete the task given to us by the adult, and I'm ready to ask the adult for guilt, send an urgent express, and ask the adult for the next move! ”
Qin Mufeng replied lightly.
Now that the fighter plane has been lost, there is only one way to temporarily withdraw troops, and we will first stabilize the situation in the rear.
Overnight, the Ming army only left the forward cavalry battalion on the left and right flanks of Nanyang Mansion to contain the movement of the intrusive army and the dedication army, and the rest of the troops all went straight to Fangcheng!
Fangcheng, in the past few days, Liu Fangliang's life has not been easy, yes, Fangcheng has been captured, but he is also completely isolated from the main force of King Chuang, the three thousand elite infantry of the Ming army lies between Fangcheng and Nanyang, Liu Fangliang does not think that his three thousand people can make the elite opponent of the three thousand Ming army, if he really fights, he is afraid that he will definitely be defeated.
This is not the most headache, the most headache is that once the Ming army retreats and gives up Nanyang, then his own small Fangcheng will bear the brunt, and the Fangcheng generals will be the first target to snatch back!
The fall is definitely the only ending of Fangcheng, even if Nanyang Mansion sends reinforcements, it will not help, the Ming army is absolutely sure that Fangcheng will be captured before the reinforcements from Nanyang Mansion arrive in Fangcheng!
When Liu Fangliang was anxious, the Ming army had already assaulted outside Fangcheng, and the Chinese army's foot cavalry, plus tens of thousands of troops in the rear army battalion, all arrived in Fangcheng!
Xu Yifan gritted his teeth and shouted: "Order, concentrate all the artillery, aim at the gate of Fangcheng, give me all the strength to attack, the rear army camp, prepare for a surprise attack, before noon tomorrow, take Fangcheng for me, and capture Liu Fangliang alive!" ”
Xiao Ting didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly assembled the infantry battalion of the rear army and launched a fierce attack on Fangcheng!
"Boom, boom!"
More than ten artillery pieces began to bombard the head of Fangcheng indiscriminately, and one shell after another flew towards Fangcheng!
