Chapter 176 There is no hope for reinforcements but to break through
But what Sun Chuanting didn't expect was that Marco, the reinforcements he was looking forward to, had no possibility of coming at all. When Marco left Shunde Mansion, he was ordered by Sun Chuanting to lead his headquarters to go to Jining Prefecture. However, Marco was born to be greedy and afraid of death. He should have been better than Sun Chuan. Ting and Wu Sangui's people also arrived in Jining first, but after the guy led his troops to set out, he stopped. He only walked 40 or 50 miles every day. From Shunde Mansion to Daming Mansion, he actually walked for four days. Even when Sun Chuanding and Wu Sangui, who had detoured a long way, were surrounded, he just led the soldiers to Da. Famous mansion.
However, in Daming Mansion, Marco was constantly harassed by a small group of people sent by Diao Zheng. Each time, dozens or hundreds of people attacked Marco's soldiers and horses, which made Marco also in the wind and did not dare to move forward.
Diao Zheng, who stayed in Daming Mansion, immediately saw that Marco was a straw bag, so he simply gathered his people and horses in Daming Mansion, as well as some of the auxiliary soldiers left by Xiao Tianjian. He gathered more than 4,000 horses out of the city to stop Marco's way. Just when Xiao Tianjian had led troops to surround Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui, Diao Zhengye also had a relationship with Marco in the area of Damingfu.
Although Marco has a lot of troops, when he was attacked like a wolf led by Diao Zheng, Marco immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops, and also sent someone to report to Sun Chuanting that he was ambushed by a large number of people in the Xing Tian army. Under the fight, he was defeated by the thief's army, so he could only withdraw his troops back to Shunde Mansion.
However, his news could not be sent to Sun Chuanting, because before the people he sent caught up with Sun Chuanting, they met Sun Chuanting's defeated soldiers and knew that Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui were besieged on the banks of the Yanggu Jindi River.
After hearing this, Marco didn't dare to move forward in the direction of Yang Gu. Since Sun Chuanting, the governor, was surrounded by the Jindi River, there must be a large number of people there. He was afraid that after bumping into him, he could not save Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui, but were also left there by Xing Tianjun!
So he accelerated his pace and led his troops to Shunde Mansion. Before Marco had retreated to Shunde Mansion, the helpers sent by Sun Chuanting also rushed to Shunde Mansion and saw Bai Guangen, who was left in Shunde Mansion.
Bai Guangen was not ambiguous and immediately agreed to lead the troops to rescue, so after cleaning up, he led the troops out of Shunde Prefecture and set out in the direction of Chaoyanggu County.
Bai Guangen was also born in the Rebel Army. He worked with a leader named Huntian Monkey at the beginning, but later he was forced to surrender by the government and surrendered to the court. Over the years, he has followed Hong Chengchou to "suppress bandits" in Shaanxi and made a lot of achievements. Gradually, he became a general officer. This time, Hong Chengchou entered the defense and Bai Guang En was taken outside the customs, and this time he was also transferred to the customs to suppress the thieves from Sun Chuanting.
Therefore, Bai Guangen was also an old subordinate of Sun Chuanting. Knowing that Sun Chuanting was in trouble, he did not turn around and run away like Marco, but led his troops to the Jindi River in Yanggu County.
However, most of Bai Guangen's soldiers are Qin soldiers. Although Qin soldiers have always been known as tough, they are far away from their hometowns. This time, they are reluctant to go north to garrison Liaodong. Now they are even more dissatisfied when they are transferred to the customs to suppress thieves. In addition, their Qin soldiers are far less equipped as the old Liaodong Army and Guanning Army, so The combat effectiveness is very limited.
Not long after Bai Guangen led his troops out of Shunde Prefecture, he met the Ma Ke Institute, which withdrew to Shunde Prefecture. Ma Ke vowed that the Xing Tian Thieves had mobilized 100,000 troops. He not only surrounded Sun Chuanding and Wu Sangui's troops in Yanggu County, but also had heavy troops in Damingfu, and said that he Our troops can't save Sun Chuanting. It's better to ask the court for help as soon as possible. It's not too late to seek rescue Sun Chuanting after mobilizing more people.
However, Marco's words are not the same. When the court sends reinforcements to come, it will be a matter of monkeys. At that time, it is estimated that Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui can starve to death. Bai Guangen strongly advised Marco to go south with him to rescue Sun Chuanting, but Marco refused to go, but directly led the army to continue. He continued to retreat to Shunde Mansion, and vowed that the thief's army had another plan for Shunde Mansion. Bai Guangen led his troops to leave Shunde Mansion lightly. The troops of Shunde Mansion were empty, and he was going to guard Shunde Mansion.
In this way, Bai Guangen had no choice but to take Marco, so he had to lead his soldiers and horses to continue to Chaoyanggu County. However, at this time, it was too late to delay anything. Xiao Tianjian was already on both sides of the Jindi River, surrounding Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui's men and horses like iron barrels, and also pulling out his troops. It's time to deal with Bai Guangen's reinforcements.
A large number of scouts came and went between Daming Mansion and Yanggu County, sending all kinds of intelligence to Xiao Tianjian's hands. Xiao Tianjian quickly learned that Marco failed to defeat Daming Mansion. Instead, he was scared to withdraw from Shunde Mansion, and laughed again. Daming's generals arrived at this time. It has already been a plate of scattered sand, and the meaning of robes has been completely ignored at this time. His mind is full of the idea of supporting soldiers and making a fortune in a muffled voice. Marco is undoubtedly one of the representatives, but he can't figure out that once the Ming Dynasty is over, how can these generals have room to support soldiers and self-respect.
When he learned the news that Bai Guangen led his troops to help, he was a little surprised. He couldn't help but admire Bai Guangen's courage, but Xiao Tianjian would not give up the two big fish, Sun Chuanding and Wu Sangui, because of this.
After discussing the map with Li Xin and other generals, Xiao Tianjian immediately decided to leave some soldiers and horses, continue to besiege Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui's headquarters here, and draw out part of the troops of Luo Li's headquarters and the Guards Division, and go under the control of Luo Li and Li Xin, and go to stop Bai Guangen's troops.
After studying Bai Guangen's people and horses, Xiao Tianjian and the generals thought that there was no need for too much. Only 4,000 horses were enough. In addition, a small number of people and horses in Diao Zheng's headquarters stationed in Daming Mansion were enough to clean up Bai Guangen's troops.
So on the sixth day of the siege of Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui, Luo Li and Li Xin took orders to order the soldiers and horses, handed over the defense with other departments, and began to rush towards the Daming Mansion.
Sun Chuanting was also paying close attention to the movement of Xing Tianjun. On the sixth day, as soon as Xing Tianjun moved, they felt the change in the situation. Therefore, under the power of Wu Sangui, Sun Chuanting still agreed with their opinion of breaking through the Daming Mansion and joining the reinforcements.
In the afternoon, Wu Sangui and Sun Chuanting ordered all the soldiers and horses, and now gathered by the Jindi River with some troops, making a posture to break out in the direction of Jining, and then on the other side, with Wu Sangui's people and horses as the main force, to break through to the north.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, these actions of the officers and soldiers obviously could not escape the eyes of Xing Tianjun. Xiao Tianjian immediately carried out his subordinates. On the one hand, he made Liu Yaoben strengthen the defense of the south bank of the Jindi and strictly prevent the officers and army from crossing the Jindi River from breaking through to the south bank, and on the other hand, Prepare the soldiers and horses on the north coast to fight.
Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui's breakthrough action began to start. This time, Wu Sangui directly made his family members as pioneers, concentrated a batch of armor to strengthen their defense capabilities, and at the same time organized forces and built a batch of bales for their use. He sent more than 1,000 people to take the lead first. Pushing these out of the camp to attack the defense line of the Xingtian Army, the remaining soldiers will line up behind them to cover their flanks and support the vanguard's breakthrough.
Xiao Tianjian climbed to the watchtower and observed the situation on the battlefield with binoculars. He saw a large number of officers and soldiers rolling out of their battalion and rushed straight to the defense line on the north side of the Xingtian Army, and launched a large number of rollercars with the army, which obviously completely exposed the direction of their breakthrough.
At this time, the two battalions guarding the north defense line were led by Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu. Facing so many officers and soldiers, it was obvious that the troops were a little weak, so Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered the next battalion under the command of Li Shuanzhu in the west to support Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu's troops to enhance their defensive ability.
In addition, it was not until this time that Xiao Tianjian ordered the two artillery battalions under the command of Huang Shengqiang in the northwest and northeast corners to let go.
In this way, Huang Shengqiang is very happy. These days, they are shooting sporadically every day. It's really not enough. Moreover, in the past few days, they have transported a lot of ammunition from the rear. The ammunition stored is enough for them to tosss for a while. Now they know that it can When he let go of his hand, Huang Shengqiang immediately jumped back to the artillery array and roared to fire...
The two wings of the officer army suddenly erupted like a volcano, and there were clusters of flames and smoke. The whole Jindi River almost trembled. There were three-pound guns of the battalion in the front, and six-pound cannons, eight-pound guns and even twelve-pound guns on the side at the same time. All kinds of shells roared and flew to the battlefield. In the middle.
Moreover, Huang Shengqiang also ordered the eight-pound and twelve-pound cannons to use flowering bullets to bombard the officers and soldiers. Suddenly, a group of gunpowder smoke rose among the officers and soldiers. All kinds of shells can be said to have accurately fallen into the army. Almost every shell can open a bloody alley in the army. When the flowering bomb explodes It often overturned the officers and soldiers, making the officers and soldiers fly flesh and blood, and the tragic howls resounded through the sky.
Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui were both supervising the battle. When they saw this situation, their scalp was numb. They also knew that Xing Tianjun had some cannons. In the past few days, Xing Tianjun's cannons accurately knocked over the Hongyi cannons they had, although they also caused some losses to the artillery array of the thief army. But the specific situation is not clear. At this time, when they saw that the cannons of Xing Tianjun were fully opened, they knew that the number of artillery that Xing Tianhe had at this time had far exceeded the equipment of their officers and soldiers, and the quality also exceeded the quality of their officers and soldiers' equipment, and it was even more difficult to compare with them in training. At such a distance, it can be said that the cannon has reached the point where it is.
