Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 215 Spear and Shield

These dozen or so riders were scouting horses scattered around the periphery. When they galloped to the banner of the Chinese army, they stopped and reined in. They couldn't even wait to get off their horses, so they shouted to the general: "The white army is coming! The vanguard is here!" About five miles away, the force is about [-]. Judging from the banners, it should be Ma Xianglin's troops."

The thief is actually very familiar with the Baigan army.Because the two sides have played against each other many times.The same is true, only Tanma can report in such detail at the first time.

When Liu Zongmin heard this, he was very surprised. He pointed to the north and said, "You said you found the white pole army in the north?"

If it is said that the white pole army is found in the west or south, he can understand it.I just can't understand, how could the White Pole Army come from the north?
After getting a clear answer, Liu Zongmin immediately shouted: "Explore again!"

Seeing Tan Ma galloping away again, Liu Zongmin turned to look at the military adviser, obviously wanting to hear his opinion.

Seeing Song Xiance's serious expression, without hesitation, he immediately said to him: "The current white pole army has long lost its combat power in previous years. If we are in Sichuan, we should be more cautious. We have come here from a long way. Don't be afraid! The army has the largest force, and it is estimated that it will not exceed [-]."

Speaking of this, he paused, frowned and said: "However, this white army came at an untimely time. No matter whether we can take down Weihui Mansion or not, we cannot afford to stab us from behind."

Hearing this, Liu Zongmin was also decisive, and immediately ordered to withdraw the troops.

Afterwards, he looked at Song Xiance and the other leaders and said, "That one-eyed thief... Ma Xianglin dared to spoil our good deeds, so he took this opportunity to kill him!"

When he just said the word "one-eyed thief", he suddenly remembered that Li Zicheng was also one-eyed, so he immediately added his name in fear of being misunderstood.

After hearing this, Song Xiance rolled his eyes, and then came up with another idea: "Why don't we keep a small team and attack the city with great fanfare, and the main force will go to the Baigan army for a decisive battle. In this way, it will be able to influence the Baigan army. The morale of the army will make it easier for us to win if they are impatient!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zongmin turned to look at other people, apparently to see their opinions.

When Gao Yigong saw it, he immediately agreed: "The people in Weihui City are nothing to worry about, and they dare not go out of the city. I think the strategy of the military division is good!"

"That's right, although the White Pole Army is not as capable as it used to be, but after all, it is one of the few troops in the imperial court army that can fight us to the death. I agree with the military adviser's proposal!" Yuan Zongdi agreed after hearing this.

After hearing this, Liu Zongmin no longer hesitated, but ordered: "That's good, just follow the method of the military adviser, and go to face the white pole army first!"

Outside Weihui City, suddenly, the sound of "clang, clang, clang" resounded.

The bandits who were rushing towards the city were all very surprised when they heard the movement behind them.However, as expected of an elite thief, he gave an order and retreated after hearing the money, without much hesitation.

And above Weihui City, the defenders were in a mess, thinking that this time it was going to be over, but unexpectedly, the bandits retreated.

This situation made them all dumbfounded, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in the thief's gourd?

Obviously, if he worked hard, he might be able to attack the top of the city, so why did he retreat?

While secretly rejoicing, the people on the top of the city are all at a loss.Those civil servants and military generals came to ask Huang Shu one after another. After all, Huang Shu had experience in fighting thieves in Kaifeng.

But the key question is, Huang Shu is also at a loss, unable to tell what is going on in front of him?
From what I saw, it was most likely that reinforcements had arrived.

However, what he learned from Sun Chuanting at the time was that both the Yongwei Battalion and the Beijing Battalion had to be retrained, and they were powerless for the Battle of Kaifeng.At least until October, it is impossible to reinforce Kaifeng at all.

At the beginning of the year, in the battle of Songjin, all the capable troops drawn from all over the country were wiped out outside the pass.

Where did the reinforcements come from?
Even if there are reinforcements, they should go to rescue Kaifeng first, right?

Impossible, is it Jianlu, or the Mongolian Tartars of the grassland who have gone south?

However, neither the Jianlu nor the Mongol Tartars would be able to hunt grass valleys in this month, let alone go deep into Jin, or even go to Henan.

Moreover, in the past, these two forces were against the imperial court, and the war between them never happened at all.

When Huang Shu couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it, but immediately ordered to adjust the defense on the top of the city, and drive the old and weak off the top of the city.

It has been proved just now that it is useless to threaten the thieves with the old and weak in Kaifeng. If this is the case, then we can only guard against it!

From the beginning to the end, neither he nor his subordinates thought about the possibility of leaving the city.

…………

Outside the city, there were probably only 3000 rogues left, and the remaining 5000 rogues headed north from Kaifeng.

According to the strategy of the military adviser Song Xiance, the main general Liu Zongmin led 1 horses to face it head-on, and the rest of the troops were led by Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong and others to attack the Baigan army from the side.

The place where the two sides fought was about three miles away from Wei Hui.

The reason why this distance was chosen was not only because the white pole army came over quickly, but when the thieves found it, it was only more than five miles away.

The other one is to let Wei Hui's movement affect the white pole army and affect the combat mood of the white pole army.

Regarding the victory of this battle, Liu Zongmin was very sure when he scouted the horses from the front and reported that after the white pole army's forward and the main force behind them converged, there were only less than [-] troops in total: this battle must be won!

No, just listen to him say to Song Xiance next to him: "The White Pole Army has been fighting all these years, and they are no different from beggars. Our equipment is better than them, and we have more troops than them. What do they use to fight us? Haha! "

Hearing this, Song Xiance couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "At the time of Tianqi, the Baigan army was really strong. Among the chieftain's army, it was undoubtedly the number one strong army. It's just a pity that after so many years, they fought for the imperial court. After so many years of fighting, countless people have died, and no benefits have been gained. No matter how strong the army is, it can't be stronger! Qin Liangyu is also in her seventies and eighties. I really can't figure out what a woman is doing so desperately. ?”

Hearing him mention Qin Liangyu, even Liu Zongmin, who has always been defiant, couldn't help admiring him, and immediately said: "It's a hero among women, but it's a pity that she was born decades earlier, otherwise, I, Liu Zongmin, would definitely take such a daughter-in-law!"

When Song Xiance heard this, he couldn't help squinting at him.Although he didn't speak, the look in his eyes was very straightforward: Qin Liangyu is a loyal generation, and he must be famous in the history books. You are a thief, are you worthy?

However, this kind of contempt soon disappeared, but he reminded Liu Zongmin: "The white pole army opposite us is coached by Qin Liangyu, and the striker is his son Ma Xianglin, who is known as Little Ma Chao. Although our advantages are obvious, we must Be careful, don't capsize the boat in the gutter!"

Liu Zongmin twitched his lips when he heard this, and immediately said with a chuckle: "I blocked the White Army with [-] elite soldiers, exhausted their morale and fighting spirit, and then attacked the troops on both sides. What will the White Army use to make a comeback? It is impossible to say, I Will these [-] elite soldiers be unable to stop the attack of the white pole army?"

The key to the battle they discussed was to block the white pole army.

The so-called one bang, then decline, three exhaustion.With the disturbance from Wei Hui, as long as the white pole army loses its vigor, it is equivalent to an old tiger.

The same is true, this face-to-face army was led by Liu Zongmin himself.That Ma Xianglin is known as the Little Ma Chao, and he, Liu Zongmin, is the number one general in the Chuang army!

On the battlefield, the strength is displayed, the gap is here, and the victory or defeat is basically determined.

The so-called sudden surprise moves, and the weak defeating the strong are basically fake.There are hundreds of battles, but not one.

Fighting ultimately depends on strength.

Song Xiance naturally understood this truth, thinking that the white pole army really had no chance of winning, so he didn't say anything more, just went to look at the white pole army in the opposite formation.

If it is an ordinary imperial army, in the face of this situation, the 36 plan must be the best plan.And if they didn't leave, Song Xiance might have doubts, was there something he didn't expect?
However, the opposing army was the Baigan army, so Song Xiance was not surprised that although the Baigan army did not retreat and seemed to be attacking.

Because, this is the white pole army!

I saw that the white pole army on the opposite side also formed a "pin" formation, and the leader, judging from the banner, was the pony super Ma Xianglin.

Regarding this formation, Song Xiance couldn't help shaking his head.

Although theoretically speaking, if the white pole army wants to defeat their side, they will use the most elite soldiers to form a spearhead and penetrate the Chinese army on their side, then they will be able to win the battle.

However, if the white pole army can't penetrate the middle army on its side and is blocked, then the white pole army will be dangerous instead.

That is to say, the key to the battle situation is whether the white pole army's hair is sharp, or the shield on his side is thicker.

While he was thinking, there was already movement on Wei Hui's side.

Even on the battlefield here, you can hear the screams of killing over there, it seems that the siege is coming to a critical moment.

Song Xiance was not mistaken, after hearing this movement, the movements of the entire white pole army accelerated a bit.Obviously, they wanted to rescue Wei Hui.

Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "White pole army, are you tired of the name of loyalty and don't even want your own life? In this troubled world, don't you know that everything is possible only with the army? Look at the one with the same name. You, Qin Liangyu, live a more unrestrained life than you!"

No one heard his words.

As the distance between the two sides approached and the drums sounded, the attention of both sides began to focus on the offensive and defensive battle in front of them.

The two armies are mainly cold weapons, and even less prelude.Those who hold knives and guns are hard-headed!

"Kill..." the Baigan army shouted, and launched an attack on the thieves.

"Kill it..." The thief also shouted, like a rock, a mainstay, without fear.
