Chapter 126 Destroying the enemy(2/2)
"Yes." Jing Maocheng also said in a low voice, "It's so amazing. Nearly a thousand Jiannu cavalry launched an assault, but no cavalry could rush to the official arms battalion alive... This is a cavalry. If the infantry assaulted from the front, how many people would have to die to rush to the official arms battalion?"
Li Xuan suddenly remembered the siege last night, and said fearlessly: "Fortunately, the general was foresighted last night, so he asked General Jing to suppress the firearms of the government army with bows and arrows, forcing them into the urn city to get out. Otherwise, our army really wouldn't know how many more people would die?"
Only Li Yan remained silent, but the tactics and terrifying lethality of the Ming arms battalion were deeply imprinted in his mind. From this time on, Li Yan had an idea in his mind that one day he would also form the firearm battalion of the rebel army and also adopt the tactics of the Wang Pu firearm battalion.
However, what troubles Li Yan at the moment is another question. Since Wang Pu’s subordinates have such a powerful earth firearm battalion, why didn’t they send out the city outside to take the initiative to attack the rebels in yesterday’s fierce battle?
At that time, the rebels fought fiercely with the defenders at the South Gate. Wang Pu could have sent firearms battalions from the East Gate or the Xiaodong Gate to attack the rebels' side. In this way, the rebels would inevitably suffer heavy casualties and were completely possible to be defeated in one battle, but what is strange is that Wang Pu did not do so.
Also, why did Wang Pu send a firearm battalion to help the rebel army? It is said that the rebel army and the official army are born enemies, either you die or I die. The rebel army is about to collapse when attacked by Jiannu. The official army should be happy, but why did Wang Pu lend a helping hand instead?
The Hongniang rode his horse close to Li Yan and asked softly: "Mr., what are you thinking?"
Li Yan whispered: "I'm wondering, why should Wang Pu help us?"
"This..." The Hong Madam frowned and thought for a while, and whispered, "Does he want to join the rebel army?"
"No." Li Yan shook his head and said, "Wang Pu will definitely not join the rebel army."
The Hongniang asked in confusion: "Why?"
"No," Li Yan said, "It's just a kind of intuition. Intuition tells me that Wang Pu would never join the rebel army."
"Since Wang Pu doesn't want to join the rebel army, why is he helping him?" Hong Madam thought for a while and finally gained nothing, so she said angrily, "But no matter what, Wang Pu has helped our rebel army this time, so the account in Jining last time was written off."
"Master!" When Li Yan was whispering to the Hong Madam, Jing Maocheng suddenly turned around and shouted, "The situation is not good, the offensive in Jiannu has suddenly strengthened, and the brothers will not be able to withstand it again!"
“Huh?”
When Li Yan and Hong Niangzi looked up quickly, they saw that the soldiers of the rebel army retreated under the impact of the Jiannu cavalry. The defense line had already stabilized and became in danger again. Especially the Jiannu in the middle, under the leadership of Ajige, the offensive was particularly fierce. The remaining soldiers of Laoya Camp and Gushan Camp could be said to be about to collapse at a glance.
Li Yan's central army was soon exposed to the sabre of the Jiannu Iron Cavalry again!
The remaining 5,000 cavalrymen in the two white flags are worthy of being the elite Jiannu who have experienced many battles. Even if they are already trapped and are already in a heavy siege, even if they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, they are always the ones that take the initiative to attack. Although the rebel army has a large number of people, they can only support it.
"Send the order." Li Yan shouted in a deep voice, "Let the brothers hold on anyway, and must stick to the firearm camp of the government army and go around behind Jiannu and cut off their retreat. Moreover, this is just the last desperate struggle of the Jiannu cavalry, and it is their last wave of attack. As long as you resist Jiannu, it will be over!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
More than a dozen cavalry soldiers behind Li Yan took the order and quickly passed on Li Yan's military order.
"Master General." Li Xuan said loudly, "Let me leave it to General Mo and General Jing here. You should retreat to the left wing with your wife."
"No." Li Yan said decisively, "I vowed to live and perish with all the soldiers of the army, and would never retreat a little."
