Chapter 215: Preemptive Strike
Sun Chuanting's response measures can not be described as imprecise and fast, but in the face of the plague, these countermeasures are simply vulnerable!
In just one day, the number of newly ill people in the army surged by more than a hundred, and panic began to spread among the army.
"Master Inspector, it's not okay to go on like this, it won't take three or five days, I'm afraid that thousands of people will have to fall in the army, and in another ten days, even if tens of thousands of people fall, it is possible, without Li Zicheng to fight us, we will collapse first......"
Gao Jie said in a deep voice.
Gao Jie, Zuo Guangxian, Chen Yongfu, Niu Chenghu, Gao Ruli, Bu Congshan, plus Sun Zhixiu, all the important generals in the army came to the prefect's yamen, and the current situation made everyone feel worried.
"Alas......"
Sun Chuanting sighed and said helplessly: "Gao Jie, it's just that the official didn't pay attention to Zhu Jie's warning, looking at the situation in front of him, where did it take ten days?" Since five days ago, the number of sick people has doubled every day, a few people, a dozen people, twenty or thirty, yesterday it was more than fifty, a few days is more than a hundred, three to five days is enough for a big outbreak of the plague......"
"Master Inspector, the lower officials think that we must take the initiative to attack and strike first, and now most of our soldiers still retain their combat strength, concentrate all their strength to give Li Zicheng a head-on blow, and completely hurt him, maybe they can deter the thieves and win a glimmer of hope for us to hold Nanyang City......"
Chen Yongfu said in a deep voice.
Sun Chuanting's eyes flashed, Chen Yongfu was right, he must have a decisive battle with Li Zicheng before the plague broke out, although it was a bit risky, but he had no other chance, defeat Li Zicheng, maybe this will solve a disaster, if you can't defeat Li Zicheng and fall into a stalemate, then the Qin army will face the danger of annihilation this time......
"Gao Jie, Chen Yongfu, Niu Chenghu, immediately gather all the elites in the army, tomorrow, once Li Zicheng's army arrives in Nanyang Mansion, we will pour out of the nest and have a decisive battle with Li Zicheng!"
Rather than watching the brothers fall ill one by one and wait for their deaths, it is better to take a gamble!
The Qin army in the entire Nanyang Mansion all took action, and the soldiers and soldiers were ready for the big battle in the coming day!
The next day, Li Zicheng's army really came all the way to Nanyang Mansion thirty miles away, and was united with the remnants of Li Guo's defeated army.
When Li Zicheng received the news of Li Guo's defeat, he was stunned, and he really couldn't imagine how Li Guo could hand over Nanyang Mansion to people again in just a few days!
"Li Guo, what's going on? You have 40,000 soldiers under your command! There are more than 20,000 elite forces alone, and you, you actually lost Nanyang Mansion in three days? When did you become such a waste? ”
Li Zicheng rebuked angrily.
Li Guo's face was full of shame, and he said in a low voice: "Uncle, this time it's all the nephew's fault, no wonder others took Nanyang Mansion, because the brothers have been too depressed these days, and it was the nephew who ordered the army to rob for three days in a row, but I didn't expect that just two days later, the cavalry of the Ming army arrived at the city, and I was caught off guard, and before I had time to gather the soldiers in the city, that Gao Jie went straight into the city......"
Li Zicheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he roared angrily: "Bastard, bastard!" I have ordered many times that after the siege of the city, it is forbidden to massacre the city, and it is not allowed to loot wantonly, do you take my words as a deaf ear? Come on, I'll cut Li Guo out! ”
"The king is angry, the king is angry!"
Song Xiance hurriedly stopped, "Now that the big war is imminent, let's kill the general first, it's not good for me, although the little general is a little too much this time, but the habit of the soldiers has always been like this, and it won't be able to change it for a while, just spare his life for the time being, let him make meritorious contributions!" ”
"The ...... of the Advisor"
Li Yan on the side frowned and said: "The state has national laws, the army has military regulations, if we can't strictly enforce military discipline, when will we be able to build an elite division?" How can we help King Chuang win the hearts of the people in the world? ”
"Li Yan! You don't have to say a word! ”
Song Xiance said hurriedly, "Li Guo is just young and ignorant, he didn't hold back for a while, and he was the son and nephew of King Chuang, so he cut him down?" Doesn't that increase the morale of others and destroy our own prestige? ”
The generals in the camp knelt down one by one and pleaded with Li Guo, although Li Guo was young, his popularity in the army was definitely not covered, and, most importantly, King Chuang had no children, no heirs, even if he laid down the country in the future, who would this country be handed over? If there is no heir, the most likely candidate is Li Guo, and Li Guo will be killed now? How can it be!
King Chuang is just acting like a guy with no heart now, who is like Li Yan, a guy who lacks heart, he is so serious about everything, just like a saint descending to earth!
Li Zicheng's face was not good, and he shouted: "The death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is unforgivable, pull it out, and the thirty military sticks will be heavily punished, and in the coming day, with Li Guobu as the forerunner, besiege Nanyang Mansion again, just take Nanyang Mansion, if you can't take it, you will be killed with one two crimes!" ”
Li Guo was dragged down by several guards to enforce military law, Li Zicheng turned around and said hatefully: "I didn't expect that this Sun Chuanting came up so fast, it seems that we are going to have a bloody battle again!" Ordered the three armies to march towards Nanyang Mansion immediately, and we will meet this Sun Chuanting again! ”
Li Zicheng gave an order, and the army rushed towards Nanyang Mansion again, and in less than half a day, it arrived at the city of Nanyang Mansion.
Today's Nanyang Mansion has gone through two major battles in succession, and it has already been dilapidated, Li Zicheng looked at the dilapidated city wall of Nanyang Mansion from afar, and sneered, such a city still wants to deal with my more than 100,000 troops? That's a dream!
"Li Guo, lead the soldiers under your command to attack again, and within three days, you must take Nanyang Mansion!"
Li Zicheng shouted.
Li Guo didn't dare to slack off, and once again commanded the soldiers under his command, preparing to launch an attack on Nanyang Mansion!
However, to Li Zicheng's great surprise, before Li Guo's army could launch a charge, the city gate of Nanyang Mansion had already been opened, and groups of Ming troops poured out from Nancheng in Nanyang Mansion!
"This Sun Chuanting, he actually wants to fight me to the death outside the city of Nanyang Mansion?"
Li Zicheng's heart was shocked and he muttered.
