Chapter 428: Decision

Zhang Xianzhong slammed the teacup on the table and said angrily, "Gao Yingxiang, Lao Tzu has long said that he is a bastard with a false name! He is also a group of pus-filled people! Straight lady thief, what kind of anti-plot do you say, against him old lady!

The generals in the account were too frightened to speak. Zhang Xianzhong, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, started a fire, there is no reason to kill people, and a deputy general just said one more word when he was angry, and he was immediately pulled out and cut down.

At this time, only Luo Rucai and Li Dingguo dared to speak.

Luo Rucai said, "General, let's think about how to deal with it at this time." Ma Whistle discovered Qin Shuhuai at an hour, and now the other party may be less than 40 miles away from Hancheng!"

Li Dingguo immediately answered, "Father, or I will take someone to the north of the city to ambush and fight to the death with that Qin Shuhuai!"

Zhang Xianzhong looked back at Luo Rucai and said, "Is there any terrain nearby that is suitable for ambushes?"

Luo Rucai shook his head, "They came from Shoufeng, and the official road was relatively flat around it, and there was no mountain suitable for ambush. But now it's night, and if we gather all the armies on both sides of the road to ambush and kill him together, we won't be able to defeat him!"

Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang brought a total of 170,000 troops over this time, and the soldiers and horses lost when they attacked the city and ambushed the Ming army that came to aid are still a little more than 130,000. Of the 130,000, 50,000 are ambushed in Yichuan, and there are 80,000 in their hands. If you do your best to ambush Qin Shuhuai's 40,000 (the spies only saw 40,000, but did not see the more than 10,000 cavalry that Qin Shuhuai had divided before) with an army of 80,000, there would indeed be a good chance of victory.

Zhang Xianzhong thought for a while and said to Li Dingguo, "Ning Yu, you go to Gao Yingxiang's camp and tell him the opinion of the military advisor, and see how he reacts!

Li Dingguo immediately said, "Father, don't worry, the last general will go." ”

Gao Yingxiang camp.

Gao Yingxiang has not yet received the news that Qin Shuhuai suddenly appeared in Longmen Town, but his horse whistle has heard the news that a large number of Ming cavalry have appeared in Baima Beach, which makes Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others suspicious.

At this moment, Li Dingguo arrived.

"Chuang Wang! Chuang Wang! Oh no, Qin Shuhuai suddenly appeared in Longmen Town with his troops, and it is estimated that he is less than 30 miles away from Hancheng at this time!"

The generals in the account suddenly stood up with a slam.

Gao Yingxiang's eyes burst out, and he said in great surprise, "What are you talking about? Qin Shuhuai appeared in Longmen Town?

Li Dingguo immediately nodded and said, "It's true, King Chuang! So my father asked me to come over quickly and discuss with you how to deal with it!"

Gao Yingxiang and his generals immediately set their sights on Li Zicheng.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious, didn't you say that Qin Shuhuai would definitely go back to Yichuan? Why did he appear in Longmen Town now?

Li Zicheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists clenched and gurgled!

He knew that he had underestimated this demon of the Great Ming! Not only did his counter-plot fail, but he was also used in turn!

The demon of the Ming Dynasty really lives up to its name!

The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, and Zhang Mengcun suddenly scolded, "Damn, where did he come from?

Li Dingguo said, "I heard that I came from the first line of Luchuan and Shoufeng!"

When the generals heard this, they immediately set their eyes on Liu Guoneng.

Because the horse sentry patrolling the road is his man.

Zhang Mengcun said angrily, "Liu Guoneng, Liu Guoneng, can't you even look down on such a way?"

Liu Guoneng opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute.

At this time, Li Zicheng said, "Don't talk about it, it's the same with whose horse whistle you replace." Have you forgotten the horsemen at Baimatan? Qin Shuhuai had already sent horsemen to break into Shaanxi territory in advance, and then quietly blocked the path west of Jiyi Town. From Shoufeng to Hancheng, you must pass there, and the horse sentry can only pass there if you want to come back as quickly as possible, as long as the opposing cavalry takes indiscriminate slaughter, no horse sentry can come back. ”

Li Dingguo said, "General Chuang is right. Besides, Qin Shuhuai used the method of walking at night and ambushing day and night, and the people were tied to the horses' hooves, which was difficult to find when the horse whistle came, and it was also night when they ran back after they were discovered, and they could not avoid the ambush of the official army horse team. ”

Liu Guoneng looked at Li Zicheng gratefully and said, "Yes, yes, it must be like this." ”

Gao Yingxiang said, "Okay, now is not the time to discuss this. Dingguo, did your father say how he wanted to deal with Qin Shuhuai?"

Li Dingguo hurriedly said, "Yes." My father's meaning is to concentrate King Chuang and our army and go to the north of the city to ambush Qin Shuhuai together!"

Li Zicheng immediately said, "No! The Ming army still has thousands, or even more horsemen, in Baima Beach, and we don't know where they have gone now." If they join up with He Renlong's army and kill them, then we will be attacked on both sides, and we will not be able to support it. ”

Li Dingguo was taken aback, "They still have so many horsemen?"

Li Zicheng ignored him and said directly to Gao Yingxiang, "King Chuang, I don't think Han Cheng can take it! This time, we have annihilated as many as 30,000 or 40,000 officers and soldiers, which is not a loss, so it is better to withdraw from the army!"

Gao Yingxiang was silent.

The congregation will be silent.

It can be seen that they are not reconciled.

Taking Hancheng is something they have been planning for a long time, and in the long run, this will be a move to completely change the situation on the three sides.

Besides, now that Qin Shuhuai is 30 miles away, he will be there in the blink of an eye, even if the army retreats, can he ensure that he will not chase and kill? If he pursues and kills Gao Yingxiang, it will be fine, but if he wants to hunt down and kill Zhang Xianzhong, it will be very bad.

Now there are only three paths in front of them.

The first is to capture Hancheng before the arrival of Qin Shuhuai and He Renlong, so as to rely on the solidity of Hancheng to hold on to help, and then fight a decisive battle with the official army. In terms of the speed of troop deployment, the officers and troops are definitely not as fast as them, because their territory is nearby, and the soldiers and horses near the officers and troops have basically been annihilated. However, it only took more than an hour for Qin Shuhuai to rush to Hancheng, would they be able to capture Hancheng in such a short time?

The second is to make a desperate bet and go to the north of the city to ambush Qin Shuhuai. As long as Qin Shuhuai's army is defeated, they can go north to join the 50,000 army in Yichuan, and then fight back, even if they can't take Hancheng, at least they can safely return to their own territory. Moreover, after Qin Shuhuai's army was defeated, the forces of the official army on the three sides would be greatly emptied, which would be very beneficial to their future. However, if Qin Shuhuai could not be defeated quickly, when those cavalry and He Renlong's army arrived, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

The third is to evacuate immediately, as Li Zicheng said. In this way, Gao Yingxiang's troops can be preserved, because his lair is not far from here, there are several fortified cities there, and it is useless for Qin Shuhuai to hunt him down. But if he chases and kills Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong is bound to run around, and whether he can gain a firm foothold on the three sides in the future is a question. Without Zhang Xianzhong echoing him on three sides, Gao Yingxiang would be like a broken hand, which would be a huge loss.

Time is running out, and they need to make a decision now!
