Chapter 125 Cooperation between officials and bandits
Chapter 125: Officials and Bandits Cooperation
Having said that, even if Ajige is not a qualified coach, even if Ajige makes four unforgivable mistakes, the Jiannu Iron Cavalry is still the Jiannu Iron Cavalry after all, and the Jiannu Iron Cavalry is still the invincible Jiannu Iron Cavalry!
Apart from the che camps of the Ming Dynasty, so far, there has never been an army in the world that can block the assault of the Jiannu Iron Cavalry in the wild.
Even if the Jiannu cavalry was already trapped and lacked horses, even if the Jiannu cavalry had an absolute disadvantage in combating the troops with few attacks, they still had plenty of room to deal with the thugs. Although Ajige had only eight thousand cavalry under him, he had enough confidence to defeat more than 50,000 thieves from Li Yan from the front!
The progress of the war also fully proves that Azig's confidence makes perfect sense.
Ajige didn't play any roundabout way. He led the remaining 7,000 Jiannu Iron Cavalry to set off, like a huge wave, viciously collided with the huge circular defensive formation of the thief. In front of the two armies, people suddenly fell over and over, and the thief's circular defensive formation was immediately knocked down to a large chunk!
The bandit wooden spear formation, which was equipped with only a small number of iron spear heads, could not resist the assault of the Jiannu heavy cavalry.
Although the bandit archers caused a lot of casualties to the Jiannu cavalry, they were frantically revenge by the Jiannu Light Cavalry. In terms of shooting skills, how can the bandit archers compare with Jiannu? Under the baptism of the Jiannu Light Cavalry's waves of arrow rain, the only 2,000 archers in the bandit army soon remained.
In front of the Jiannu Army, Ajige held a knife in his left hand and waved a large iron spear snatched from the thief with his right hand. He rode his horse and rushed to the front. After picking away nine thiefs one after another, Ajige shouted and threw out the large iron spear in his right hand. The heavy iron spear shot through the bodies of the three thiefs in succession before diving into the ground.
Witnessing such a mighty power, the thieves standing in front of Ajig were divided into waves and no one dared to block his way.
Ajige, who was so aggressive, simply untied the mail, took off his battle robe, and then rushed forward in the bandits' army with naked scars. Two hundred personal guards of Zhengbai Banner followed Ajige to death. These two hundred Jiannu cavalry were like a sharp arrow, easily cutting open the seemingly solid defensive formation of the bandits and attacking the bandits' central army.
The bandits are in the army.
Li Yan's expression seemed calm on the surface, but his heart had already tremendous turbulence. The powerful assault power of the Jiannu cavalry was far beyond his imagination. Before that, Li Yan had never thought that there would be such a powerful cavalry in this world!
The rebel army had already set up a rigorous defensive formation, but in front of the Jiannu cavalry, it was still so vulnerable!
Li Yan couldn't imagine that if the Rebels failed to set up a rigorous defensive formation, if the Rebels did not have an absolute advantage in military strength, what would happen in this battle? But even if the formation was set up, even if they had an absolute advantage in military strength, the prospects of the Rebels would be very unoptimistic.
Jiannu's offensive was very fierce. The seemingly thick formation of the rebel army was being severely squeezed. When this squeeze exceeded the limit that the rebel army could bear, the rebel army's circular defensive formation would collapse. At that time, more than 50,000 rebels would be defeated and would become the lambs for Jiannu's slaughter.
Although the situation was serious, Li Yan could not think of any way to recover.
For Li Yan, this encounter was really too sudden. He was not prepared psychologically or tactically. Faced with a powerful opponent that suddenly appeared, even if Prince Yue was reborn, he would have to do anything.
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and open conspiracies will lose their place to use their skills. The attack power of the Jiannu cavalry is too strong. This is like a martial arts master competing with ordinary people. No matter how big or strong an ordinary person is, he will never be able to defeat the martial arts master.
"Master, the situation is a bit bad."
"Master, hurry up and think of a solution. If you don't think of a solution, it will be all done."
Jing Maocheng and Li Xuan had returned to Li Yan's side, and they had tried their best to buy time for the central army to set up their formation. Laoya Camp and Gushan Camp were once again injured. Almost all the more than 3,000 rebel soldiers who had just added were killed in battle. Even the original old capital was compensated a lot.
"Brother, why don't we withdraw?"
Li Hu was also covered in blood. In the fierce battle just now, he was injured more than a dozen people all over his body. Fortunately, they were all just skin injuries. Although they looked scary, they had no worries about their lives.
"The winner is not decided, how can you give up easily?"
Li Yan's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something irrelevant, but he sighed in his heart: Retreat? It's too late. Ordering a retreat at this time can only make the rebels defeat faster and worse! However, if you hold on, you will inevitably lose in the end. The only difference is that you will lose later, which will make Jiannu suffer greater losses.
Unless a miracle occurs, the defeat of the rebel army is inevitable.
Li Yan couldn't help but look back and looked at the gray city blocks of Datong City, thinking lonely: Will a miracle really happen? Is there really a miracle in this world? Suddenly, Li Yan seemed to see the scene of the rebel army being defeated like a mountain, and also seemed to see the Red Lady lying on his body and crying bitterly.
King, Li Yan has done his best, so he can only stop here! Your life-saving grace and the kindness of knowing your friendship, Li Yan can only wait for the next life to repay the grace of a carrot...
Datong city entrance.
"Oh." Scarface sighed, "It's over, this time the thief is really over."
"Yes." The bearded man said without regret. "This time the thief is dead."
"I am worthy of being a Jiannu." Zhao Xin said in a heavy tone, "Just with only seven or eight thousand cavalrymen, they defeated more than 60,000 thieves from Li Yan from the front. Such powerful attack power is really terrible!"
"Yes." Zhao Liujin said with a deep feeling, "If it weren't for this, how could our Ming Dynasty army be defeated by Jiannu, abandoned the city and lost its territory, and finally lost the entire Liaodong? In the Battle of Songshan, even the General Hong was defeated. If the general hadn't gone against the trend and led his troops to attack Shengjing, I'm afraid that even the entire western Liaoning would have been lost."
Wang Pu's eyes flashed, and he ignored the whispers of the generals. No one knew what he was thinking.
In fact, Wang Pu's idea was very simple. He was waiting for a suitable opportunity to wait for the thieves and Jiannu cavalry to fight almost both sides and then go out of the city to clean up the mess.
Of course, going out of the city to clean up the mess does not mean that the bandits and the Jiannu cavalry will be taken away. The government troops in Datong City do not have this strength, and Wang Pu doesn't want to do this. Li Yandi's band of bandits, Pu, still wants to "raise" for a while. This is not only to allow himself to have a reason to continue to stay in Datong to lead troops, but also to deal with the Jiannu army that will soon be killed!
Obviously, the two white flag cavalry outside the city are just the vanguard of the Jiannu army. At the latest tonight, the large group of Jiannu will kill to Datong City. According to Wang Pu's estimate, the Jiannu army that broke through the pass this time was at least more than 100,000. Such a huge Jiannu army, with less than 8,000 official troops in the city, would seem to be alone.
They may not be able to think of Wang Pu's goodness when they rescued Li Yan, but at least one thing is certain that this group of thieves are restraining outside. They can cause some trouble for Jiannu. The Jiannu army dare not attack Datong as they please. At this critical moment, the more support, the more hope of defending Datong.
You must know that this Datong defense battle is related to Wang Pu's life and life, and Wang Pu must be cautious.
Seeing that the thief outside the city was about to be unable to hold on, Wang Pu finally decided to take action.
While the generals were whispering, Wang Pu suddenly shouted: "Big bearded man. Scarface!"
The bearded man and scarred face rushed forward and responded sternly: "Here."
Wang Pu said: "Each leader of his troops and immediately leave the city to attack the Jiannu cavalry."
"ah?"
"What?"
"What?"
"Out of the city at this time?"
Not only were the bearded man and Scarface shocked, but even the Ming generals such as Zhao Xin, Zhao Liujin, Jiang Xuan looked at each other, and they couldn't believe their ears. The situation outside the city is so thrilling, why should the official army go out of the city to trespass? Wouldn't it be better to let the bandits and Jiannu kill both sides of the defeat?
"Didn't you hear it?" Wang Pu shouted sternly. "This is a military order!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
When he heard the word "Military Order", Scarface and the bearded man shivered and agreed with a loud promise.
Wang Pu shouted: "Tele the troops immediately. Don't forget to let your brothers shout the word "kill slaves."
"yes!"
"yes!"
Scarface and bearded responded again, turned around and walked away quickly.
It was not until this time that Wei Daben, the prefect of Datong, came back from the huge shock and walked to Wang Pu and reminded him: "Mr. Prince Concubine, have you ever thought about the consequences of this?"
Wang Pu said calmly: "What are the consequences?"
Wei Daben looked around and whispered: "Mr. Prince Consort, if the censors in the capital know about this, they will make trouble in front of the Lord Long live, and accus you of intentionally sending troops to help the thief!"
"It's their business to make trouble for them," Wang Pu said. "What do you do is to do, but I still have to thank Lord Wei for his kind reminder. By giving porridge to the people outside the West Gate, I can see that you are also a good official who can do the truth for the people."
Wei Daben's face was filled with shame for no reason, and he clasped his fists and said, "The prince-in-law is too proud, but he is ashamed of being a magnanimous official."
Wang Pu smiled slightly, his expression immediately became serious, and he said seriously: "Mr. Wei, Jiannu will not be as merciful as a thief. You should hurry to the west gate and move tens of thousands of people outside the city into the city as soon as possible. If you are a few hours later, these people will inevitably be slaughtered by Jiannu."
"Ah?" Wei Daben said in a terrifying manner, "If it weren't for the prince-consort's reminder, the official would have almost missed the big thing."
After saying that, Wei Daben bowed to Wang Pu again, turned around and left quickly.
Outside Datong City.
Ajige personally led 200 cavalry to break into the bandits' central army. Hongniangzi led the bandits' cavalry, as well as Jing Maocheng's Laozao Camp and Li Xuan's Gushan Camp, were fighting to the death, but more and more Jiannu cavalry were rushing in along the gap. When the bandits' central army was about to be submerged by the Jiannu cavalry, a wave of shouts suddenly sounded outside the battlefield.
"Kill the slave!"
"Kill the slave!"
"Kill the slave!"
When Li Yan, Hongniangzi and his wife, Jing Maocheng, Li Xuan and other rebel generals looked back quickly, they saw a team of brightly dressed officials who had already set out outside Datong City, lined up in an orderly manner and rolled forward in neat steps. Every time the team of officials took a step forward, they shouted with a rainbow of momentum.
Li Yan first understood the meaning of the slogan of the official army. From the beginning of the Datong city that shouted "Not my race, my heart will be different", Li Yan felt a vague suspicion in his heart. Later, Li Yan took the risk of transferring Laoya Camp and Gushan Camp. The official army in the city did not take the opportunity to attack, which further confirmed Li Yan's speculation.
Now the official army is out of the city when it shouldn't have left the city and shouts the slogan of "killing slaves". From this, Li Yan can basically conclude that the official army is clearly here to assist in the war! Although Li Yan doesn't know why the official army or Wang Pu did this, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to change his destiny for the rebel army on the verge of collapse!
"Kill the slave!"
Li Yan drew his sword with his backhand and raised his arms and shouted.
"Kill the slave!"
"Kill the slave!"
"Kill the slave!"
Hongniang, Jing Maocheng, Li Xuan, Li Hu and others shouted one after another. Finally, more and more rebel soldiers joined the ranks of shouting. The originally chaotic shouts gradually became neatly and uniform. The shouts of rebel soldiers echoed the Ming government troops who drove out of the city, and the momentum became more and more intense.
In front of Jiannu formation, Ajige suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse and turned around and shouted: "What's going on? What are these Southern Ming barbarians shouting?"
"Your Highness, there are reinforcements!" A leader of the white banner clamped his horse to Ajige and said breathlessly, "There are reinforcements coming from the flank."
"Reinforcements?" Azig asked loudly, "Where is it?"
Zhengbai Banner Zuoleng pointed to the west and said, "Prince, please see, right there."
