When I came to the top of the city, I saw that there were Ming troops on all sides, tens of thousands of Ming troops had surrounded Baofeng City on all sides, the momentum was majestic, and the troops in the city were like earth, Guo Kaizhong was shocked to see it, so many Ming troops!

When he was frightened, the Ming army began to attack, and groups of Ming soldiers began to attack the city!

"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow! You must stop the Ming army, and you can't let them get close to the city! ”

Guo Kaizhong hurriedly roared, and the intrusive army in the city began to launch a counterattack with the wall battlements, and for a while, arrows fell like rain at the head of the city, shooting towards the ranks of the Ming army!

The Ming army did not show weakness, and launched an attack one after another, the feather arrows were like flying locusts, and the soldiers launched a fierce attack on the city, and the two sides launched a fierce battle in Baofeng City!

In the blink of an eye, half a day passed, the offensive of the Ming army gradually eased down, Baofeng City was in a mess, only half a day, the army paid the price of hundreds of people, so the army could not support for long.

Guo Kaizhong's heart was full of panic, it is not terrible to lose Baofeng City, what is terrible is that there are hundreds of officials concentrated here, all of them are state and county officials who are about to go to various places to take office, once the city is broken, there are few of them who can save their lives, which will form a heavy blow to King Chuang's strategic plan!

"Come, immediately send cavalry to Xiangcheng for help, please King Chuang immediately send reinforcements!"

Guo Kaizhong immediately made a decision, sent more than a dozen waves of cavalry to Xiangcheng for help, and now he can only resist hard, as long as he insists on the arrival of reinforcements, then he can escape from Ascension, fortunately, from Xiangcheng to Baofeng, there is not much distance, but two hundred miles away, full march, cavalry only needs two days, infantry is three or four days.

There should be no problem in fighting with all their might and holding on for three or four days.

Just when Baofeng was fighting fiercely, the cavalry sent information to Xiangcheng.

Li Zicheng, Song Xiance, and Li Yan were studying the next battle plan, and the cavalry who summoned them rushed into the room again and again!

"King Chuang, King Chuang! Oh no, tens of thousands of Ming troops went south out of Ruzhou, besieged Baofeng Prefecture, and launched a siege towards Baofeng Prefecture, General Guo asked you to send rescue troops quickly, it's too late, Baofeng Prefecture can't be saved! ”

The cavalry shouted urgently.

"What?"

Li Zicheng stood up and shouted, "What did you say? The Ming army besieged Baofeng Prefecture? ”

According to Niu Jinxing and Li Yan's suggestion, now Li Zicheng has changed his habit of mobile warfare in the past and has begun to establish his own rear base, but there are not enough civilian officials, how can the rear base be established? At the very least, someone has to run the government, right?

But now that Baofeng Prefecture is under siege, once Baofeng falls, the civilian officials who have worked so hard to collect will be wiped out by the Ming army!

"Yes, King Chuang, two days ago, the Ming army suddenly attacked the city of Baofeng Prefecture under the cover of night, with no less than 30,000 troops, and Baofeng has been surrounded, and in a few days, Baofeng will definitely fall......"

The cavalry replied in a hoarse voice.

Li Zicheng roared angrily: "Come on, immediately send an order to gather generals and discuss countermeasures!" ”

It didn't take long for all the main generals of the Chuang army to come to King Chuang's mansion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Baofeng Prefecture is besieged and in danger, let's talk about it, what should we do now?"

Li Zicheng was a little calmer at this time, after all, he was a long-standing enemy, what kind of wind and waves Li Zicheng had not experienced?

When everyone heard this, their faces showed shocked colors, the Ming army besieged Baofeng, 30,000 troops! How did they know that there were our officials in Baofeng?

"King Chuang, we must immediately send a large army to aid Baofeng!"

Liu Zongmin was the first to jump up and shouted.

Li Zicheng's face sank like water and did not answer.

"General Liu, it is necessary to rush to help, but how can we be sure that this is not a trap of Sun Chuanting, if he ambushes us halfway, then we will really be passive......"

Li Yan said on the side.

"Then fight!"

Liu Zongmin said dissatisfiedly: "Li Yan, now we are not as strong as a few years ago, now the soldiers are stronger and stronger, and the troops are more than twice that of Sun Chuanting, will we be afraid of him?" If he wants to set up an ambush, then we will directly have a decisive battle, and defeat Sun Chuanting's Ming army in one go, as long as Sun Chuanting is defeated, it won't take too long, and we can take Beijing City! No one can stop us! ”

"Zong Min!"

Li Zicheng shouted, "Don't be impatient! Brother Li Yan is right, what I'm worried about now is that Sun Chuanting intercepted us halfway, you know, from Xiangcheng to Baofeng, Phoenix Ridge is the only way, if you want to detour, it will take at least three or four more days, we don't have so much time. Sun Chuanting is very cunning, and he must be waiting for us in Phoenix Ridge......"

Li Zongmin was dissatisfied: "What if they set up an ambush in Phoenix Ridge? I personally led the cavalry to open the way first, and the infantry behind only followed, even if they had ambushes, the infantry behind us could meet us, just concentrate our main force, and eat the ambush soldiers of Phoenix Ridge in one bite! ”

Song Xiance on the side said in a low voice: "King Chuang, what General Quan said also makes sense, the cavalry goes first, and then the infantry only follows, even if we encounter an ambush, we can turn defeat into victory, no matter what, Baofeng City must be saved, otherwise, our losses will be too great!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded and replied: "The lion fights the rabbit, and we are still going all out, not to mention that we are facing the most ferocious opponent Sun Chuanting?" Either we don't fight, or we have to fight, we already have to make sure that we can win the battle! Brother Li Yan! ”

"In!"

Li Yan hurriedly agreed.

Li Zicheng said coldly: "Order, gather the 20,000 cavalry in Xiangcheng, and immediately send troops to help Baofeng City!" ”

"Wait!"

Liu Zongmin didn't agree, every time he fought a big battle, he took the lead, how did he change his mind this time?

"King Chuang, why don't you let me go? Our cavalry has always been under my command! ”

Li Zicheng frowned and replied, "Zong Min, your injuries are not healed yet!" Take care of your injuries with peace of mind! Leave this battle to Li Yan! ”

"No way!"

Liu Zongmin shouted, "I must fight this battle, even if I am injured, I will fight, Lao Tzu must avenge the last shot!" ”

Liu Zongmin is still thinking about the guy who turned his army upside down, if it weren't for him, where would he have lost so badly, everyone would have been lost!

Li Zicheng was helpless for a while, and replied: "Okay, I really can't help you, but this time, you have to be cautious and can't be careless!" Li Guo! ”

General Li Guo hurriedly stood up.

"Immediately assemble 60,000 infantry, and then follow Liu Zongmin's cavalry forward, you two remember, the cavalry speed is suppressed, don't rush too far, the infantry march with all their might, the distance must not exceed thirty miles, so that they can echo each other at any time! Especially in Phoenix Ridge, you should be more careful and don't be reckless! ”

Li Zicheng replied in a deep voice.

Dispatching the main force of 80,000 foot cavalry in one go, Li Zicheng was serious this time.

"King Chuang, we sent out all the elite main forces in one go, Xiangcheng has no strength, in my opinion, once General Quan's cavalry successfully passes through Phoenix Ridge, then General Li Guo's main infantry will immediately withdraw to Xiangcheng, and now is not the best moment for a decisive battle with Sun Chuanting!"

Li Yan said in a deep voice, "We need to wait for General Luo Rucai to arrive, and it is the best time to launch a general attack on Sun Chuanting, you must know that Sun Chuanting can fight well, and the elite divisions of the Ming Dynasty are all under his hands, although we claim to have more than 200,000 troops, but the real combat power is only more than 100,000 people, and the rest are homeless people, if we really start a full-scale war, we may not have a chance of win......"
