Chapter 212: Raid on Nanyang Mansion
Li Zicheng's movements were too fast, in just ten days, the area within a radius of two hundred miles south of the first line of Nanyang and Runing was all captured by the breaking army, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo each led a large army to advance rapidly, and the troops went straight to Guiyang and Runing, and launched a siege towards the two prefectures.
The two prefectures and cities together, the strength of the army is only a few thousand, how can it resist, more than 100,000 troops, the army has not completely completed the siege of the two prefectures, and the commanders of the two prefectures have already abandoned the city and fled, leaving the people of the city and even the prefects of the two prefectures behind, so where can it withstand the attack of others?
Liu Zongmin and Li Guo took Nanyang Mansion and Runing Mansion almost bloodlessly, with momentum like a rainbow, after taking Nanyang Mansion and Runing Mansion, the army opened a killing ring, slaughtered the officials and landlords of the two mansions, and all the finances were empty!
At this time, Sun Chuanting's vanguard army came to Nanyang Mansion, and it was Gao Jie who led the army.
Gao Jie's nose was already crooked, and he was slaughtering the city again, at other times, the thieves slaughtered the city, at least after a long time, he took the city and slaughtered the city to give the soldiers of the army angry, and at the same time looted the property to satisfy the greedy mind of the army. However, this time, Nanyang Mansion almost went down in one go, and these damn thieves even slaughtered the city and ransacked Nanyang Mansion, brutes, they are not even as good as brutes!
Gao Jie, who was furious, gave an order, led the army under his command, and launched a fierce attack on Nanyang Mansion!
In the city of Nanyang Mansion, the army was still looting at this time, and they didn't expect the Ming army to arrive at Nanyang City so quickly, and when they found out that something was wrong, the Ming army had already begun to attack!!
"Siege, siege, in the shortest possible time, take Nanyang Mansion, and never leave the thieves a chance to breathe! Take Nanyang Mansion in one fell swoop! ”
Gao Jie led the cavalry of the Ming army, took the lead, and rushed towards Nanyang City!
The thieves on duty above the city were all stunned, these Ming troops were too crazy, there was no ladder, no artillery, no battering ram, so they directly launched a surprise attack with cavalry and stormed the city gate!
"What are you doing stupidly? Hurry, hurry, open your bow and arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”
Above the city, the battalion officer Lu Dashan let out an eager roar: "Quick, quick, immediately send someone to rule the little general, and ask him to immediately mobilize the army to defend the city!" ”
The little general is Li Guo, Li Guo is Li Zicheng's own nephew, Li Zicheng has no heirs, Li Guo has followed Li Zicheng to charge into battle since he was a child, and he is the first-class general under Li Zicheng!
However, before the news reached Li Guo's ears, Gao Jie braved the rain of arrows to come to the gate of Nanyang City and directly launched an assault!
"Close the gates, close the gates!"
A few pawns who broke into the army and guarded the city gate were shocked and hurriedly pushed the city gate, trying to close the city gate and block the Ming cavalry outside!
However, it was too late at this time, and Gao Jie, who was extremely brave, had now fallen into a state of rage, carrying two big iron vertebrae in his hands, almost a hundred or ten catties, and smashed the big iron vertebrae towards the city gate!
With the power of the impact of the war horse, the two iron cones smashed down heavily, I am afraid that there will be no strength of a thousand catties, how can a few pawns be able to withstand such a huge force, and the body was directly hit and flew up, falling into the dust!
The two city gates were smashed into two big holes by the big iron vertebrae!
Several cavalry behind Gao Jie rushed up and hurriedly pushed the city gate open, and hundreds of cavalry rushed in, occupying the position of the north city gate!
The prefect's yamen, Li Guo learned the news of the Ming army's attack on the city, and his shocked soul was not possessed, how did this Ming army come so quickly! It's fatal, now the thirty or forty thousand soldiers of the army are completely scattered in various positions in the city of Nanyang Mansion, and they are all looting without their lives, and even the basic structure has been disrupted, at this time, how to gather the army under his command?
"Quick, give an order, order the army to assemble immediately, all rush to Beicheng, and defend Nanyang Mansion!"
Li Guodeng jumped up and rushed outside.
The unlucky Li Guo, happy and sad, at this time, there were about 1,000 soldiers around him, all of them rushed towards Beicheng, and when they came to Beicheng, the elite under Gao Jie's command had already rushed in with three or four thousand people, and almost the entire Beicheng had fallen into the hands of the Ming army.
Gao Jie was already so angry that his eyes were red, and he commanded the cavalry to constantly sprint towards the city, as long as it was a person wearing the uniform of the army, he would kill him, and the cavalry would be like a god, reaping the lives of the soldiers of the army.
Now the army is scattered in all corners of Nanyang City, there is no organization at all, the soldiers can't find the generals, the generals can't find the soldiers, the largest number of people is only dozens of people gathered together, there is no way to stop the slaughter of the Ming army, one by one like lambs to be slaughtered, the shrewd ones see that the momentum is not good, and they can only get into the homes of civilians and avoid the pursuit of the Ming cavalry.
However, the people of Nanyang City have already hated the army to the bone, these people burn, kill and loot, do all kinds of evil, more bandits than bandits! Now that the Ming army has come back and has invaded Nanyang Mansion, the people are naturally emboldened, they can endure and let you bully before, but now they can't, even if they pick up a flat pole or a pickaxe, they will beat you all down!
The entire Nanyang City is in chaos!
Li Guo looked at the soldiers of the army who were scurrying around like headless flies, and he was so angry that he smoked, and with an order, more than 1,000 soldiers pressed towards the cavalry of the Ming army!
However, just with more than 1,000 people, it is impossible to withstand the attack of thousands of elite Ming troops, not to mention, outside the city, there is a steady stream of Ming troops pouring in!
The complacent army suffered a blow to the head, was beaten by the fall of the flowers, a thousand elite of the army, did not last long, was leveled by Gao Jie's cavalry, the Ming army in just over an hour of time, captured the north city and east city of Nanyang Mansion, half a day, Nanyang Mansion changed hands again, Li Guo and tens of thousands of troops under his command were driven out of Nanyang Mansion like a herd of cattle and sheep, and fled in a hurry!
Gao Jie led the 30,000 troops under his command to rush into Nanyang Mansion in this way, and began to continue to hunt down the lone intruding army, and at the same time set the list to stabilize the situation in Nanyang Mansion!
Gao Jie was very excited, since he got acquainted with Zhu Jie, Gao Jie has changed to a different person, engraved every word Zhu Jie said into his mind, strict military discipline, strict training, and now the forward battalion under his command has been much stronger than before, and has become the strongest combat power under Sun Chuanting!
In today's battle, the effect is completely revealed, and the soldiers are bloodless, and they go down in one go!
