Chapter 76 Cheap and Cheap
(What about the red ticket? I forgot to ask for the red ticket these two days!)
The thin man who came back to report the news did not dare to neglect him, so he immediately explained in detail the situation they had seen in the Dashi Bridge to Li Zicheng. The sentinel was obviously eloquent and emotionally questioned how Xing Tianjun was, tempted He Renlong to underestimate the enemy. As a result, he was defeated for a while. With another general, he told Li Zicheng in detail about the fact that he defeated a officer and soldier sent by He Renlong for the second time.
When the sentinel finished speaking, Li Zicheng's expression on his face was uncertain. For him, even he didn't know whether he should celebrate or be angry, but in short, his mood is certain, that is, shock!
He Renlong's nickname is He Crazy. It is the best known whether his officers and soldiers can fight against Li Zicheng. Although he also fought with He Renlong many times earlier, almost all of them ended up with the failure of their volunteers. Even if they won a few small games, they defeated He Renlong's troops with an absolute advantage after gathering of many volunteers. .
What shocked him was that Xing Tianjun defeated He Renlong's army with only one of them. Although Xing Tianjun was a little clever in this battle, occupied a geographical advantage, controlled the end of the Dashi Bridge, and put He Renlong's hand to Hexi to fight, but the sentry detective also made it very clear that after all, Xing Tianjun only used a part of his troops, dignified Zheng fought against hundreds of officers and soldiers under the command of He Renlong, and defeated them in the first battle. He killed a piece of water and fled back to the east bank of the river.
In this way, they all completely despised the combat effectiveness of Xing Tianjun. It turned out that Xing Tianjun's ability to fight in the field was so strong that even he and Gu Junen and others completely looked away.
In this way, all his arrangements, arrangements and plans were left empty, so that Li Zicheng couldn't figure out how to face such a situation for a while.
Li Zicheng waved his hand to let the sentry retreat, and immediately sent someone to invite Gu Junen and Li Guo to discuss. After they learned the news of Xing Tianjun's victory in the Great Stone Bridge, they were also a little dumbfounded and didn't know what to do on the spot.
However, Gu Jun'en is a witty person, but after a moment of sternity, he immediately said to Li Zicheng, "Congratulations, General! General He Xi, this is a rare opportunity!"
Li Zicheng looked at Gu Jun'en angrily and snorted, "What's the joy? Did Mr. Gu forget what he said this morning?
Being despised by Li Zicheng, Gu Jun'en was also very embarrassed, but this man was really thick-skinned enough. He turned to Li Zicheng with a smile and said, "Of course it's a good thing! According to the news sent back by Tan Ma, this time He Renlong fought in the Great Stone Bridge. Isn't the general worried that once He Renlong leads his troops back to Longzhou City, then it will be difficult to take Longzhou City next?
At present, since the Xing Tianjun defeated He Renlong and killed hundreds of enemy troops, for He Renlong, the morale of his subordinates will plummet. Isn't this the opportunity for the general?
Although it is true that Xing Tianjun is so good at fighting, it is not a bad thing for the general. After all, it is also a good thing for the general to get such strong help. Anyway, it is not a good thing for us and Xing Tianjun or friendly troops?
At present, I think that it should not be too late. I respectfully ask the general to set out quickly and take advantage of He Renlong's new defeat and attack him head-on. If it goes well, this battle can solve He Renlong outside Longzhou City and make it impossible for him to return to the city, then the morale of the defenders in the city will also plummet. This Isn't it easy for the general to spit when Longzhou City arrives?
Therefore, this humble position will congratulate the general. I hope the general will not hesitate any more. It's better to rise up quickly and attack the He Renlong head-on!"
After hearing this, Li Zicheng's eyes suddenly lit up. Just now, he only cared that he was not defeated by He Renlong for Xing Tianjun, which made him feel depressed because he could not take the opportunity to show kindness to Xiao Tianjian, but he forgot that now he and Xing Tianjun are allies. How could he win the battle for the friendly army, but he felt sorry?
And Gu Junen said it well. This kind of thing is a matter that he will not suffer losses. Xing Tianjun was defeated by He Renlong, so he just led his troops to rescue him, and gave kindness to Xiao Tianjian, so that Xiao Tianjian could only be attached to him in the future! And Xing Tianjun was defeated by He Renlong. He happened to take the opportunity to beat the falling dog and give He Renlong another strong medicine. It's better to completely defeat He Renlong in the first battle, so won't this Longzhou City be easy to get?
This is exactly a matter of killing two birds with one stone. Why is he still depressed about this?
So Li Zicheng immediately turned his worries into joy, laughed, and immediately told Li Guo, "Mr. Gu is really talented, but I didn't expect this level!" Li Guo, you set out quickly and rushed to the area of the Great Stone Bridge of Wanzi River, where you can meet with Xing Tianjun and drag He Renlong to make it impossible to return to the city. I will gather more troops and then rush over. We will join forces and take the opportunity to defeat He Renlong's troops!"
Li Guoling immediately clenched his fist and replied loudly, "My nephew, yes!"
After saying that, Li Guo turned back to the camp. With an order, with the two thousand troops who had already gathered, he went out of the camp and hurried in the direction of Dashi Bridge, raising a large area of dust outside Longzhou City.
In the return camp, Li Zicheng ordered Gao Jie to collect his troops back to the camp and immediately regroup, leaving Liu Zongmin to lead the rest of the army to monitor the officers and soldiers in the city to prevent the officers from coming out of the city to attack the camp.
After the arrangement, Li Zicheng also led 2,000 people and rushed in the direction of Dashi Bridge.
He Renlong led his troops along the river bank to walk north for several miles. After a lot of tossing, he finally crossed the Wanzi River from the pontoon bridge set up by Bai Youliang, and Bai Youliang had returned to the pontoon bridge and guarded the pontoon bridge.
"Where is the thief army now?" He Renlong looked at the last batch of human and horse supplies that had crossed the river, and asked Bai Youliang, who was guarding here.
Bai Youliang immediately bowed and reached: "He congratulates the general. After no investigation at night, the thief army of Dashiqiao has withdrawn and rushed to the south.
He Renlong's heart tightened and immediately shouted badly: "It's broken! The thief army must have rushed to block the Hefang one! Hurry up and complete the team. I'll meet them to the south!"
The officers and soldiers who had just crossed the river immediately reorganized. Without even time to breathe, they embarked on the road of departure. A batch of night were immediately sent out to investigate the movement of the thief army and He Fang's troops in a fan-to-west direction.
Unfortunately, after this toss and tos, when He Renlong set out, it was already past the time of Shen, and the sun was obviously west. From them along Hebei, they turned around and rushed back to the Dashi Bridge. It took two or three hours without waiting for He Renlong to lead his troops to the Dashi Bridge, a team The scout ran back in panic.
"Report! Mr. General, a thieving army under the banner of Li Thief is coming towards us. Its strength is no more than 2,000 people, and they are all soldiers in the thief army. The momentum is very strong. Please make a determination!" Ye didn't turn over and get off the horse, ran to He Renlong and reported loudly to He Renlong.
After hearing this, He Renlong's heart tightened again and immediately ordered to stop moving forward and prepare to fight.
After the two wars in the morning, He Renlong was really a little scared by these thieves. He couldn't think of Gaochuang Thieves and Li Thieves's trip to Shaanxi for only a year or two. After coming back, he became so fierce. In the past two years, Gaochuang Thieves and Li Zicheng actually practiced a fierce soldier and horse.
The thief army that blocked the Dashi Bridge just now. He was sure that it must be the elite soldier under Li Zicheng. He just played the banner of Xing Tianjun and deliberately confused him. Now he heard that a thief army of more than 2,000 people was facing him under the banner of Li Zicheng, so he believed more that this matter was from From beginning to end, it is a trap set by Li Zicheng.
"The rapid array is ready to fight!" He Renlong held the horse's rein in surprise and shouted loudly.
The officers and soldiers, who were already nervous, suddenly became a little confused. If it hadn't been for the bullet pressure of the officers, this array alone would have messed up.
However, at least He Renlong's bullets are well pressed. This kind of ** does not last for a long time. Two thousand officers and soldiers and food and money auxiliary soldiers finally settled down, and arranged a standard round array to stop the array.
The circular array is a kind of defensive formation commonly used in the field of the Ming army. It puts the soldiers in the front and back of the array, surrounds the auxiliary soldiers in the middle, and surrounds them with accompanying carts around the periphery as a fortification. At the same time, the artillery is also placed in the array. This arrangement is completely a posture to deal with enemies beyond their large number of troops. It can't help but have a little wind and crane momentum.
No wonder He Renlong is so careful. After all, the strong fighting power shown by Xing Tianjun blocking the bridge made him have to believe that the thief army is no longer the same as Wu Xia A Meng in the past, so in order to prevent accidents, he took such a position.
But soon another team rushed back with two officers and soldiers at night. The two officers and soldiers were covered with dust, and they were all gray. As soon as they found He Renlong, they fell down and knelt down and shouted at He Renlong, "Your Excellency! We are under the command of Mr. He Qian, who did not accept it at night. Under the order of Mr. He Qian, we came to find you. Please send troops quickly and go to Tianjiazhuang to rescue our department! A thieves have caught up with us, and Mr. He Qian is leading his troops to fight against them! Please send troops to rescue as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, He Renlong became even more nervous. He didn't know where so many elite soldiers came from. How could the thief army catch up with He Fang so quickly?
So he immediately asked the two He Fang's men, "When you came, did He Fang already have fought with the thief army?"
"Not yet! But the speed of the thief army's pursuit is very fast. Mr. He Qian has no time to lead his troops to Tianjiazhuang. Before we come out, we have stopped moving forward and stopped at a dirt mountain four miles southeast of Tianjiazhuang. He ordered us to rush out and find Mr. Baiqian and ask Mr. Baiqian to go to Tianjiazhuang to meet him!" The two He Fang's men did not dare to exaggerate and answered He Renlong honestly.
He Renlong twisted his beard on his lower jaw, thought for a while, took a deep breath and said, "Go down and have a rest!" Let's wait until I repel this thief army!"
He is very confused at this moment. On the one hand, he has to worry about the fate of He Fang and the hundreds of officers and soldiers under his command, and on the other hand, he has to worry about the fate of the thousands of officers and soldiers he leads around him. But now a team of thieves is coming towards them. He can't pull out his troops at all and go to Tianjiazhuang to support Hefang. Department.
