Chapter 73 Intention to turn over

Yan Jizu kept an eye on the situation of the family army in the area of Gyeonggi Province and sent people to stare there day and night. No matter what the wind blew, he immediately sent the news back to Jinan. Soon after he learned that Yu Xiaotian had just led his troops to defeat the Jiannu army, the court ordered Chen Xinjia to lead the army to attack the family army and restore Wu Xiang. , which led Guan Ning's army to attack Tianjin Wei, hoping to take advantage of the weakness of the family army at the beginning of the war to destroy the family army.

This thing is even more unacceptable. Even when the people heard the news, they immediately cursed and scolded the court for doing this. Is it a thing? At least they have to remove the donkey from the grinding wheel before killing it. You are good. You have to kill the donkey before they remove the grinding disc. This is what people do. Love?

Yan Jizu also thinks so in private, thinking that Yu Xiaotian may be unable to escape this disaster. After all, his Yu's army has just fought fiercely with the Jiannu army, and it is estimated that the losses will be quite heavy. Even if he wins, it will be a tragic victory. At this time, he was besieged and attacked by a large number of officers and soldiers. He must be unable to fight against it. The defeat is certain. Things.

As a result, after the news spread to Jinan, Yan Jizu was almost choked to death by a mouthful of tea on the spot, because the news said that Chen Xinjia's unit actually met Yu Jiajun and was beaten up. Then Wu Xiang led the army to attack Tianjin Wei, but did not take down Tianjin Wei, but was also defeated by Yu Jiajun. Even Wu Xiangben People were also bombarded to death by the Yu army.

Yu Xiaotian then issued a letter to tell the world, saying that it was a rebellious article, playing the banner of the Qing Dynasty to attack the capital.

This time, Yan Jizu was completely dumbfounded. How could Yu Jiajun be so powerful? The lonely division went north to destroy the Jiannu army first, and then defeated the two powerful brigades of Daming in a row. Can it be more powerful?

Soon, Yan Jizu received the imperial edict from the court. Someone flew to Jinan Prefecture day and night, causing Yan Jizu to immediately lead Shandong soldiers and horses to rise north and enter the capital.

Yan Jizu immediately felt that this time was a rare opportunity for him to turn over. If this time he could lead his troops to the King of Beijing at the fastest speed and prevent Yu Xiaotian's rebels from entering the capital, then the crime of losing Jinan Prefecture before would probably be wiped out by this credit, at least the merits and faults would be offset. The head can definitely be saved.

What's more, now he has heard that the court has issued an order to arrest Yang Sichang temporarily. As long as Yang Sichang falls, he can completely blame Yang Sichang for the loss of Jinan, then he will be fine. Maybe he can take the opportunity to get promoted.

So Yan Jizu immediately cleaned up overnight and rushed to Dezhou. At this time, all the Shandong soldiers and horses in Dezhou had not yet withdrawn from Dezhou. They were recalled by him one after another, and then led the army to the capital day and night.

As a result, before he led his army to the capital, he heard that Yu Xiaotian led the army to conquer Tongzhou, and then the army was already under the capital. After hearing the news, Yan Jizu thought about it and discussed it with his staff. At this time, if he led the army directly to the capital, he would definitely hit the main force of Yu's army.

This time, Yu Xiaotian led the army to attack the capital, which must have brought all the elites to the capital, and there must not be many soldiers and horses left in Tongzhou. Even if there are some soldiers and horses guarding Tongzhou City, it is estimated that there are only a small number of soldiers and horses. At this time, if he attacks Tongzhou first, it will be equivalent to cutting off the back road of Yu's army. Yu's army had to give up attacking the capital, which is also a plan to besiege Wei and save Zhao. At that time, Yan Jizu must be the first achievement of the capital to relieve the siege.

So Yan Jizu did not dare to lead the army to go straight to the capital, and immediately rushed to Tongzhou. Although the Shandong soldiers were not strong, this time Yan Jizu was cruel and asked the imperial edict to suppress the Shandong soldiers under his command, so that they could not be neglected and try to get to Tongzhou as soon as possible.

The Shandong soldiers had no choice but to use their strength to breastfeed and follow Yan Jizu to rush to Tongzhou, which made him unexpected by Xiaotian and lead his troops to Tongzhou in advance.

After arriving in Tongzhou, Yan Jizu found that the Yu family's army here seemed to be sufficient, with more than 10,000 people guarding Tongzhou City, which scared him to death and almost fled directly.

But fortunately, there were people who knew how to do it. After observing for a while, they told Yan Jizu that the Yu family army in Tongzhou City did not seem to be a regular soldier and horse, but more like the newly integrated surrendered troops. Moreover, after the Shandong soldiers arrived in Tongzhou, these Yu family army did not take the initiative to attack, but retreated to the city, which further shows that these Yu family troops did not It's the main force, and it shouldn't be too powerful.

So Yan Jizu stabilized his mind and sent troops to challenge and test it. If it was true that the Yu family's defenders in Tongzhou did not go out of the city to fight, Yan Jizu was relieved and ordered the soldiers to besiege Tongzhou City and start attacking the city.

However, even so, Yan Jizu sent troops to attack and did not get any results. Although he can now determine that most of the Yu's army in the city is a newly integrated surrender, there is still a part of the main force of the Yu's army in the city. Although the number is not large, it is quite fierce.

The Shandong soldiers launched several consecutive attacks, and were repelled by the Yu family's military cannons defending the city. The Shandong officers and soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. Often before the offensive was organized, the people who were beaten were turned upside down, and even the moat connected to the state city could not be touched several times.

This is still in the case of many damage to the city wall of Tongzhou. This result made Yan Jizu quite unwilling, but he also learned about the power of Yu Jiajun and became more cautious.

Just when Yan Jizu made up his mind to capture Tongzhou City at all costs, he had just organized two attacks in the morning, and he received the news that thousands of Yu's soldiers and horses had appeared more than 20 miles away from Tongzhou City and were marching towards Tongzhou City at a rapid pace. Come on.

Yan Jizu was scared and quickly ordered to stop the siege. The whole army gathered and lined up in the southwest of Tongzhou. Yan Jizu brought 30,000 soldiers and horses from Shandong this time. Although he was very afraid of the fighting power of the family army, he still thought that his strength was far more than several times that of the family army. It won't be a big loss!

Fortunately, this time, the Yu family army did not return the whole army, but only returned with less than 5,000 troops. Yan Jizu privately thought that the Yu family army was too arrogant to do this. With his troops, four fought one by one, and there were still people watching the bustle and taking clothes. Why can't even stop the Yu family's army of less than 5,000? !

So Yan Jizu gritted his teeth and ordered the Shandong soldiers to eat the 5,000 Yu family army at any cost. Even if he only won such a battle, he could be explained to the court in the future.

The distance of more than ten miles lies in front of the speed of the army's rapid march. In less than an hour, Li Tong led his troops to the defense line of the officers and soldiers.

At this time, the soldiers of the 9th Brigade were in a hurry all the way. When they arrived here, they were basically exhausted, so Li Tong ordered to stop moving forward and take a rest in place.

However, Li Tong wanted to rest, but Yan Jizu did not agree. He immediately sent thousands of "elites" from the left and right wings to attack Yu Jiajun, trying to give them a head-on blow when the Yu's soldiers were tired and strive to defeat the reinforcements of the Yu family's army.

Li Tong looked at the posture of the officers and soldiers opposite, and he was angry and happy. He thought that I hadn't had time to trouble you, but you came to trouble me first! But that's good. Let's clean up these guys first.

With Li Tong's order, the 9th Brigade will immediately be divided into four hollow phalanxes in units. As soon as the officers and soldiers approached them, they will fight fiercely against the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers in charge of the attack were beaten upside down by a torrent of bullets before they could get close to the front of the family army.

Under such an environment and terrain, the officers and soldiers are simply looking for death for the infantry phalanx of the family army. No matter how elite they are, they can only be beaten in the face of the family army with absolute superior firepower.

So these thousands of attacking officers and soldiers, who didn't hold on for half a quarter of an hour, were beaten by the soldiers of the Ninth Brigade. They were defeated and fled back on the way.

Li Tong saw that he defeated this group of officers and soldiers, and was not in a hurry to pursue and let the battalions continue to rest, but Yan Jizu was a little numb at first sight. This battle didn't seem to be as easy as he thought! So Yan Jizu began to worry.

But at this time, he definitely dare not withdraw his troops, because now he can be said to be guilty. If he retreats at this time, once the court frees his hand, he will definitely not forgive him, so he gritted his teeth and killed the generals under his command. The whole army is only allowed to attack the family and not retreat. Who dares to If you retreat and run away without permission, you will cut off someone's head.

And he personally led Fubiao to supervise the array, and also set up some artillery carried by the army, not to deal with the family army, but to deal with the Shandong soldiers who fled without authorization.

More than 20,000 Shandong soldiers began to line up in fear. At the urging of the fierce drums, they began to rush towards the Yu family army like a black ant colony.

Li Tong saw that the officers and soldiers were going to play with their lives, so he immediately ordered to stop rest. The whole army got up and lined up and made two large hollow phalanxes of the four battalions, making the formation much thicker.

Hundreds of steps away, the officers and soldiers began to shout, shouted for themselves one by one, and began to attack the Yu family army under the expulsion of the generals.

With the sound of a dense rain-like sound, the sad screams of countless officers and soldiers sounded on the battlefield at the same time...

(Today, my daughter's condition has improved and she is in a better mood. I feel a little relieved, and I can feel a little relieved!)
