Li Yan led the main force of 3,000 people, day and night, rushing towards Guide Mansion, from Xuchang to Guide Mansion, nearly 400 miles apart, the distance is not close.

Now that the main force of the Ming army has begun a full-scale counteroffensive to regain the lost territory, the Guide Mansion in the east will definitely be the key area of the Ming army's attack, and it is necessary to rush to Guide Mansion before the Ming army arrives at Guide Mansion, and then do a good job of defense, so as to stabilize the situation in Guide Mansion!

"Xianggong, we marched with all our strength like this, but I am afraid that when we reach Guide Mansion, the three thousand soldiers will run away, how can we still fight, how can we hold Guide Mansion?"

The red lady asked.

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Lady, even if the soldiers are tired, we must rush to Zhangde Mansion in the shortest possible time, now the situation is critical, the battle situation is changing rapidly, even if it is half an hour late, maybe we can only roll out of Guide Mansion in a gray manner, you know, from Kaifeng Mansion to Guide Mansion, the distance is similar to the distance we have from Xuchang to Guide Mansion, but the Ming army set off at least two or three days early, not marching with all our strength, how can we rush to the front of the Ming army and occupy Guide Mansion?" ”

The red lady frowned and asked, "Guide Mansion, is it really that important?" ”

"It doesn't matter, what am I doing here?"

Li Yan said in a sullen voice: "King Chuang didn't listen to my advice, and wanted to rely on that group of remnants of the defeated generals to resist the pursuit of the main force of the Ming army head-on, so how could he withstand it?" Now it is unrealistic to occupy Nanyang, I came to Guide, in addition to threatening the luck of the imperial court, is to share the pressure of King Chuang's front, attract the main force of the Ming army to Guide, lead in the direction of Nanzhili, and leave a chance for King Chuang to breathe......"

The red lady's face turned pale, and she muttered: "Xianggong, you attracted the main force of the Ming army to Guide, so how can we resist it?" We have no soldiers in our hands, we have no generals, this is a moth throwing fire......"

"That can't be so much, King Chuang treats me well, and takes me as a confidant, how can I not be smeared with liver and brains to repay King Chuang's kindness?"

Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Okay, don't talk so much, it's the right topic to rush to Guide Mansion as soon as possible, if you can't hold Guide Mansion, everything is empty talk!" ”

Li Yan led the main force of three thousand to rush down quickly, four hundred miles away, even if he marched with all his strength, there was no time for six or seven days, and he did not want to arrive at Guide Mansion, after all, this is not a rapid march of one or two days, the longer the time, the more the physical strength of the soldiers can not keep up, the first day may be able to rush out of a hundred and ten miles, but the second day, it is good to be able to maintain seventy or eighty miles, and on the third day, if you can run fifty or sixty miles, you will already burn high incense, and it is impossible to always maintain the highest marching speed.

Li Yan sprinted towards Guide Mansion with all his might, in the northwest direction, Qin Han led an infantry battalion, and then thought about the rapid advance of Guide Mansion, Qin Han's army had already moved for nearly three days, but all the way through the state and county, it was necessary to make a little resettlement of the recovered state and county, and the marching speed naturally slowed down.

Moreover, in the eyes of Qin and Han, now that the army has been defeated, almost all the troops are moving closer to the front line of Xuchang, rushing to the aid of Li Zicheng's main force, this East Route Army is naturally overwhelmed along the way, and it will definitely not encounter any resistance, even when it was in Kaifeng, Zhu Jie made such a judgment, but what he didn't expect was that this Li Yan actually did the opposite.

Qin Han, who was kept in the dark, didn't know that there was also an army that was marching towards Guide Mansion at the same time as him, and the speed of the march was far above the infantry battalion of the Ming army!

In six days, Li Yan led the main force of 3,000 people, gathered the troops of various states and counties all the way, marched with all his might, and finally arrived at Guide Mansion, daring to arrive at Guide in front of the Ming army.

Song Tianxing originally received Li Zicheng's generals, and wanted to lead the army in Guide to the west, and the main force rounded, but his troops left Guide for less than a day, and he got Li Zicheng's general order, to continue to hold on to Guide Mansion, and all the troops in Guide were handed over to Li Yan for control, Song Tianxing had to bring the troops back to Guide again, waiting for Li Yan's arrival.

After all, there was no waiting in vain, just when Song Tianxing was anxious in the face of the main force of the Ming army advancing in the direction of Guide Mansion, Li Yan finally arrived!

Song Tianxing connected Li Yan to the prefect's yamen, and the two sides sat down.

Song Tianxing pretended to inadvertently swept the red lady's eyes, I am a good beauty, but unfortunately, I can only look at it twice, I can't eat it, how good would it be if God gave me such a beauty? It's a pity that I didn't have this convincing.

Song Tianxing is very clear, this is a real little pepper, I can't afford to provoke it, don't talk about myself, even if it is General Quan, I have to let the red lady score three points! There are many people who covet the beauty of the red lady in the camp, but no one dares to show it!

I remember one time, General Quan drank too much, borrowed wine to go crazy, and teased the red lady, but was put on the ground by the red lady, and was taught a hard lesson, almost becoming a joke! Even General Quan can't afford to provoke him, let alone himself?

"General, now the Ming army is less than sixty miles away from us, the general of the Ming army, Qin Han, led the main force of 8,000 infantry, all the way to Guide Mansion, has recovered four county seats, and then advanced to the southeast, but it will be to our Guide Mansion, these 8,000 main infantry are the elite of the Ming army, our troops are a lot worse than others, but what to do?"

Song Tianxing's heart was a little bitter, and he asked urgently.

Li Yan frowned, the distance of sixty miles, that is to say, now between the Ming army and the Guide Mansion, there is only one Ningling County, and the small Ningling County will definitely not be able to stop the eight thousand elite infantry, not to mention that they still have artillery.

Stubborn? Just waiting for the Ming army to come up in Guide Mansion?

That's definitely not good, even if this infantry battalion of Qin and Han can't help itself, people can still send troops to help, but they don't have any reinforcements now, and they are isolated in Guide Mansion!

If you want to turn the tide of the battle, you must take the initiative to attack, look for opportunities, hold the loopholes of the Ming army, and give the Ming army a fatal blow!

"General Song, relying only on passive defense, we have no hope of winning, and if we want to defeat the Ming army, we can only take the initiative! When the two meet, the wise wins! ”

Take the initiative?

Song Tianxing's jaw almost fell in shock! This general is inevitably too bold, just with less than 10,000 troops in Guide Mansion, plus his 3,000 main force that is almost tired of, can he block the attack of the Ming army's 8,000 elite main force?

"General, you're not kidding, are you?"

Li Yan replied lightly: "There is no joke in the army, where did the joke come from?" You know, the best defense is offense! ”
