Chapter 985: To Each His Own Fight
The battle that took place more than 20 miles east of the camp of Xishan truly illustrates what it means to be "poor and not chasing". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As we all know, King Zheng's army is very sparse in combat effectiveness, but these 30,000 people against 10,000 chasing soldiers, burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, they walked slowly, not to mention, after discovering the pursuers, they put up a defensive position early.
The pursuers attacked several times in a row, but they did not pose any substantial threat to the defenses, but King Zheng's army shouted, "The people of Lei Gu are guilty of colluding with the imperial court." ”
This shout somewhat shook the hearts of the army, especially those righteous soldiers, and it was inevitable that they were apprehensive in their hearts, although Lei Gu held the righteousness, but such a crime was deducted, and the other party also held the righteousness in his hand.
Most of the rebels are Li Shu from the township, and the news is not bright, but they have heard of the consequences of the Dao Palace's interference in the Hongchen matter.
After several successive attacks failed, not only were the rebels a little uneasy, but even Xia Zhenren couldn't help but speak, "Eternal life, can the other rebels in your camp rush over to support?"
Even the 1,000 people he brought, the imperial army has a total of 6,000 pursuers, so there are only 6,000 people left in his camp, at least the least, and 2,000 soldiers must be left to garrison, and only 4,000 people can continue to come.
In Li Yongsheng's camp, there are still 30,000 people, and Lao Haitou is still in charge, but what is depressing is that these 30,000 righteous soldiers have not been trained much, and it is okay to besiege the city and defend the camp, but it is difficult to divide half of them to pursue and defend the camp at the same time.
Trained sergeants, and untrained, are really different.
Moreover, this time the main force of the defenders retreated, and only 40,000 people left, and almost 30,000 people remained in the camp.
Of the 30,000 soldiers guarding the camp, 10,000 are Tonghe and Yong'an, which can not be counted, but the remaining nearly 20,000 can not only guard the camp, but also take the initiative to attack at any time.
This is the calculation of King Zheng's army, can we defeat you? We will divide our troops and see how the so-called righteous army, which is patchwork together, can adapt to this chaotic battlefield.
If the usefulness of the righteous army can really be abolished, the people of the imperial army are really nothing.
When Li Yongsheng heard this, he was also a little big, he knew very well what kind of quality the rebel army below him was, and in the face of this chaotic situation, he really didn't like it, which made him feel a little out of control.
However, King Zheng's army is extremely good at disrupting wars, and continuing to develop like this will only create more opportunities for King Zheng's army.
The rabble and the well-trained, the difference is here, although King Zheng's army is relatively rubbish, but the system of the people is complete, the system of the commander, the chief, the head of the capital, the soldiers and horses, and the commander are sound.
Only with sound command can more blossom and support several battlefield operations, and the rebel army is far behind in this regard.
In fact, because everyone doesn't cooperate much with each other, once something happens, who should listen to whom, there is a fight.
These are objective problems, which make Li Yongsheng even more worried, up to now, all the other party's flying boats and half of the chariots, there is no trace at all, he can't help but wonder: Where did the other party hide these things?
Xia Zhenren also knew his embarrassment, and seeing that he didn't answer, he sighed softly, "Forget it, I'll call four thousand sergeants to help first, and then send another 10,000 people from your side, go slower and strictly prevent the other party from sneaking up." ”
Li Yongsheng thought about it, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, let's fight here first and maintain the deterrence of the camp...... Lend me five hundred cavalry, and I will go around to the front and block the other party's way. ”
Xia Zhenren doesn't know what to say about the other party, do you not understand military affairs, or are you really arrogant?
However, he thought about it, he really borrowed five hundred cavalry to go out, the defense in front was too dense, and the cavalry charging into battle was equivalent to sending them to death.
Facts have proved that Xia Zhenren really underestimated Li Yongsheng's military literacy, putting aside the experience of the Immortal Envoy in the upper realm, he only said that he had fought with Ivan in Rouran for nearly a year, and in terms of the sense of smell on the battlefield, it was not comparable to ordinary people at all.
Now the 30,000 enemy troops that are surrounded are relatively tightly defended, but in this way, they lose their mobility and can only be beaten passively, so Li Yongsheng thinks that he does not need to bring many people, he only needs to bring part of the mobile force, and make the act of blocking the opponent's way, he can force the opponent and dare not change his tactics casually.
In short, it is to stubbornly entangle the main force of the other party and prevent them from escaping.
The cavalry he brought to the front was less than 800 in total, but when he saw the direction in which this cavalry appeared, the other party immediately sent 2,000 cavalry to drive it out.
That's right! Li Yongsheng did not fight with these cavalrymen, but circled in circles from afar.
And although the other party has a large number of people, it is obviously afraid of the high-end combat power of the Thunder Valley side, and does not dare to divide the troops, nor does it dare to be too far away from the main force - relying on the main force, at least it can be supported by long-range weapons.
The battle situation developed to noon, and the commanders on both sides were very dissatisfied, Xia Zhenren saw that the losses of the strong attack were very large, so he had to contact Li Yongsheng with the conch of the voice, "Are you sure how many reinforcements you can come?"
"I tested the front for a while, thinking that it would be nothing if reinforcements didn't come," Li Yongsheng responded with a smile.
He already had a belly case, so he replied very easily, "As long as you can entangle these 30,000 people, slowly deal with the 10,000 people behind the palace, as for the team stationed in the camp...... Can make a gesture of attacking the barracks. ”
"Attacking the barracks?" Xia Zhenren was stunned at first, and then immediately reacted, "Also, let's entangle them to the death, and your people will drag the people in the barracks again, and the next thing is to grind the kung fu." ”
The biggest problem of the rebels is that they are not well organized and commanded, and their adaptability is extremely poor, but if they besiege the camp with their hearts, they can give full play to their strengths - even if they can't be captured, it is always no problem to hold the camp.
And the defenders of the barracks are pinned down, and they must no longer be able to worry about the main force fleeing.
In this way, on the current battlefield, it is 14,000 people on Li Yongsheng's side, entangled 30,000 enemies.
When another 10,000 pursuers crushed the enemy behind the palace, and then converged, it was 24,000 men and 30,000 men.
Even if the enemy army behind the palace was close to the main force, in the end it would only be a decisive battle of 24,000 men and 40,000 men.
In fact, Li Yongsheng's thinking was very simple, after finding that the enemy was reluctant to throw away the pots and jars, he quickly made a decision: You fight yours, I will fight mine, as long as you don't run away lightly, I have the certainty of leaving you.
The battle situation has developed to this moment, the main force here is entangled, even if it is not the point, the rebel army tries to attack the barracks, it is not the point, the point is that the 10,000 pursuers must solve the enemy army behind the 10,000 palaces as soon as possible.
But King Zheng's army also played a role, which was very difficult, and for a while, the war became a stalemate.
At the end of the day, King Zheng's side received the news that the camp had been attacked, and immediately understood the opponent's calculations.
So during the interval of the battle, they sent people to shout, "Li Yongsheng, we have already reported to King Zheng about your collusion with the imperial court, and it is still too late to stop at this moment, otherwise when the other three palaces come forward and ask the Xuannu Palace, you will regret it!"
Li Yongchang laughed, "Collusion with the imperial court? Xuannu Palace collusion with the imperial court? haha, your joke is not funny at all." ”
The other party shouted loudly again, "Since there is no collusion with the imperial court, why are you blocking our return?"
This is the second time that King Zheng's people have asked this, and they really can't figure it out, Lei Gu is in other counties, and his methods are still mild, why after coming to Xishan, he fought a lot, and still cooperated with the imperial court and military.
In fact, there are quite a lot of factors in this, and Li Yongsheng has already prepared a reason, before he did not explain to the envoy, firstly, because he suspected that the other party's status was low, and his attitude was not correct, and secondly, he did not let the other party find out his hole cards and deduce the actions he wanted to take.
But now, if he doesn't explain, it will affect the morale of his own army, so he replied loudly, "You have sent food to Li Shu in Xishan, deprived the people of their last bite of food, and caused the lives to be ruined and starved all over the wilderness, how can I not ask?"
Okay, this time he won't talk about the cult demons, and will just talk about the food.
The Dao Palace does not interfere in the affairs of Hongchen, but if there is a large-scale disaster, the Dao Palace is also qualified to intervene - for example, if it does not rain in Bashu for a long time, Li Yongsheng and Zhang Muzi will transfer the developed ice cave to Yanxia Temple, and the Ten Directions Jungle can benefit Li Shu.
King Zheng's people were stunned for a moment, and then spoke loudly, "The Zhao family's country, the people of the Zhao family, what's the matter with Guan Dao Palace?"
"Haha," Xia Zhenren looked up to the sky and smiled, and scolded the other party loudly, "Bastard, isn't it because of such a thing that Lei Gu entered the WTO? King Jing tossed Sanxiang too badly, and the people were everywhere...... That's why we have Thunder Valley!"
Only then did everyone think that Zhao Xinxin's original intention in forming Lei Gu was to rescue Li Shu.
For Lei Gu, this is the most important thing, and Li Yongsheng's "tracking down the cult demons" this time is just incidental.
Hearing this explanation, the people on Li Yongsheng's side were very relieved.
But King Zheng couldn't help it, "I don't see Lei Gu joining forces with the imperial court, Li Yongsheng, you and the imperial court soldiers and horses will attack us together, this is the truth, and you can't deny it!"
Li Yongsheng didn't bother to say more to them, just spoke loudly, "If you hand over the grain, I will step aside, and it's still too late to hand it over now...... Don't say I won't give you a chance!"
King Zheng's army was in an uproar when he heard this, so the guy spoke loudly, "Then you won't fight us?"
"It's beautiful," Xia Zhenren replied in a shout, "Lei Gu still has to track down the cult demons, and ...... The murderer of Li Shu, Lei Gu will not let go!"
He was determined to go into the water in Lalei Valley, but these words were also in line with Li Yongsheng's thoughts.
So Master Li just glanced at him from a distance and muttered softly, "I actually learned to answer." ”
