Chapter 92 of the final book Because the situation of the Zhen army was not ascertained, Chen Lihua didn't want to go to battle hastily, but the next day, the Zhen army took the initiative to come out of the camp to challenge.
Welcome to Reading 78 The strength of the Zhen army is not much, only 2,000 people, but the main general who leads the army can have a great background, and it is Raymond, who is known as the second fierce in the rebel army.
Raymond is not only strong in spirit, but also infinitely powerful, and in the battle between the two armies, there are 10,000 invincible bravery.
Hearing that the Zhen army only came out with 2,000 people to challenge, the Sichuan army naturally would not be afraid to fight.
A partial general of the 16th Army Corps, who was the first to fight, did not even walk in front of Raymond, and was smashed to death by Raymond in front of the two armies with men and horses.
The second person in the Sichuan army to fight was also the general of the 16th Army, he was slightly better than the previous one, but he only lasted three rounds, and he was also picked by Raymond on his horse, following in the footsteps of the previous one.
Next, the Sichuan army successively sent three generals, but the result was still the same, none of them survived, and all of them died under Raymond's heavy knife.
Raymond's bravery can deter the Sichuan army at this time, the five generals, not even a single hair of the enemy general was injured, but he died one after another, this loyal general is too powerful.
Chen Lihua no longer sent generals to meet the battle, and discussed with the generals how to defeat the enemy in the Chinese army tent in the Sichuan camp.
Some were afraid of Raymond's force and suggested that they should temporarily avoid the battle and wait for Lu You's reinforcements to arrive, while others suggested launching a full-scale attack to directly crush the Zhen army with absolute superiority in troops.
Speaking of which, the Sichuan generals were finally divided into two factions, one faction was the main battle, and the other faction advocated waiting for reinforcements, and the two sides were in dispute, which also made Chen Lihua lose his mind for a while.
The Sichuan generals were still arguing in the camp about whether to fight or not, and Raymond, who went out of the camp to challenge, saw that no one responded to the battle, so he retreated to the Zhen camp, but he did not stay much in the Zhen camp, and led two thousand Zhen soldiers to enter through the north camp gate, go out from the south camp gate, pass through the camp, and go to the hinterland of Bainan County.
There were a lot of Sichuan spies around the camp, and they didn't dare to get too close to the camp and couldn't see the situation inside the camp, but Raymond led people to leave the camp and go south, and they could see it.
The spies of the Sichuan army immediately transmitted the information back to the camp of the Sichuan army.
I heard that the Zhen general Lei Meng who came to challenge had withdrawn, and he had also withdrawn from the Zhen army camp and went south, and the Sichuan army generals led by Chen Lihua were also shocked, what was going on Lei Meng had killed five of his own generals in a row, and his morale was in full swing, why did he suddenly withdraw It's not to withdraw from the Zhen camp, but to pass through the camp.
"General Chen, Zhenren's behavior is a little abnormal, the traitor Raymond is so powerful, he didn't stay in the Zhenying camp, why did he go south" Gao Peng, the commander of the Eleventh Legion, frowned and said with a puzzled face.
Yes, Raymond's behavior is indeed abnormal, and Chen Lihua also doesn't understand what kind of medicine is sold in Zhenjun's gourd.
While he was silent, a Sichuan general suddenly exclaimed: "Zhenren shouldn't use a suspicious strategy, the main force of the rebels has already withdrawn to the hinterland of Paiknam-gun."
"How is that possible, the Zhenying camp is opposite our army" Gao Peng said in a deep voice, before he finished speaking, Chen Lihua's mind flashed, and he continued: "Maybe, it is an empty camp at all" The faces of the "empty battalion" Sichuan generals changed the same, and their eyes fell on Chen Lihua together.
The latter stood up and said: "The rebels are playing tricks, and there must be deception in them, pass on my general's order, and the whole army will immediately surprise and attack the rebel camp."
Chen Lihua gave an order, and the Sichuan army moved up and down, and the army drove out of the camp one after another, and went straight to the Zhen camp on the opposite side to advance over.
At the beginning, the Sichuan army was still cautious and worried when advancing, but when the Sichuan army had entered within 100 steps of the Zhen camp, there was no counterattack in the Zhen camp, and there was not even a single movement.
When the Sichuan army entered the Zhenying fifty steps, it saw that the Zhenying camp was still calm, and at this time, the Sichuan army began to change from a slow advance to a full-strength charge.
The former army was the first to rush into the camp, but after coming in, there was not even a shadow of a person in the huge camp, and the tents of all sizes were empty, and things had already been lighted, so it can be said that there were only rows of empty tents left in the camp now.
Chen Lihua and a group of Sichuan generals saw this situation, so angry that they stomped their feet again and again, such a cunning rebel, with a really suspicious tactic Seeing Chen Lihua's ugly face, the Sichuan generals stepped forward and persuaded him: "General Chen doesn't have to be angry, the rebels escaped with a suspicious strategy, which shows that the rebels also know very well that their strength is not as good as our army, not to mention, the monks can't run the temple, Gongcheng is not far from here, our army should take this opportunity to take Gongcheng in one fell swoop, and first beat Bainan County out of a gap."
"That's all there is to it."
Chen Lihua nodded and said, "General Yu."
"What does the general command" A burly general stepped forward and stepped in to give a salute.
Chen Lihua said: "General Yu immediately took two corps to attack Gongcheng.
Gongcheng is just a small city, there are no heavy troops hoarded in it, it should be easy to take Gongcheng, presumably, the main force of the rebels has now fled south, and the generals are chasing and killing with their own commanders" "The last general obeys the order" The generals of all rivers intervened in unison, and then launched separate actions.
Chen Lihua led the main force of the Sichuan army to pursue south, and the Sichuan general surnamed Yu led two corps to attack Gongcheng.
According to Chen Lihua's inference, the main force of the rebels has fled, the huge camp is gone, and Gongcheng, which is close at hand, must be an empty city, even if there will be rebels stationed in it, the number of troops will definitely not be too much.
His inference was not wrong, the Zhen army only left about 1,000 people in Gongcheng, but these 1,000 people were all elite soldiers in the Zhen army, and they also caused a lot of trouble to the Sichuan army that came to attack.
The Sichuan general surnamed Yu thought that he would be able to take Gongcheng in one walk, but Gongcheng, which was only garrisoned by more than 1,000 people, failed to take it after the Sichuan army launched two fierce attacks, but lost a lot of soldiers.
Seeing this, the Sichuan general surnamed Yu also panicked, not knowing how many rebels were stationed in this small Gongcheng, and hurriedly sent a report to Chen Lihua, who went to chase the enemy, asking him to transfer troops to reinforce Gongcheng.
After receiving the report, Chen Lihua had no choice but to divide another corps and order it to carry large siege equipment to assist his own siege army on the side of Gongcheng.
With the assistance of this corps, and the fact that they brought a lot of large-scale siege equipment, the Sichuan army finally broke through the city defenses of Gongcheng.
After Gongcheng was broken, the remaining Zhen army did not fight to the death with the Sichuan army, and the soldiers threw away their weapons, took off their armor and military uniforms, fled into the city, and mixed with the people.
The rebels are Zhenren, and the people in the city are also Zhenren, and it is even more difficult for the Sichuan army that rushed into the city to pick out the rebels from the people.
If this was the case in another country, the general would have to order the slaughter of the city without saying a word, but the Sichuan army would not do this, and the Sichuan army, which has always prided itself on being civilized and noble, never disdained to use such bloody methods.
After the occupation of Gongcheng, the general surnamed Yu only ordered to post notices, one is to calm the people, and the other is to offer a reward, as long as the people are willing to report the hiding place of the rebels, the Sichuan army will give a heavy reward.
There may not be a brave man under the heavy reward, and this is the case with the sada.
Helping the rebels hide and avoid the pursuit of the Sichuan army, these are all voluntary by the people, even if the Sichuan army offers a heavy reward, no one is willing to betray the rebels.
The people of Zhenren refused to betray the rebels, and the Sichuan army didn't care too much, after all, there were only a few hundred rebels who escaped, so there was nothing to worry about.
Then, Yu surnamed Chuan will send the good news to Chen Lihua and ask him if he needs to rush over to join him.

Chen Lihua replied quickly, so he led three corps to stay in Gongcheng.
It can be said that Gongcheng is the gateway of Bainan County, as long as Gongcheng is occupied, the main force of the Sichuan army can rampage in Bainan County without any worries, ensuring the safety of Gongcheng, which is equivalent to ensuring the logistics supply line of the main force of the Sichuan army.
So far, Chen Lihua has made no mistakes in this series of decisions, and it can even be said that it is the most correct choice, but soon, he made a fatal mistake.
Bainan County is the largest county of the three counties in Zhenxi, the land is large, there are many towns, the Sichuan army goes deep fast, but the troops are dispersed quickly, along the way the Sichuan army has to divide troops to garrison the towns it has captured, the east is divided into a group, the west is divided into a wave, when the Sichuan army goes deep into Baiyang County, the westernmost part of Bainan County, the original army of 250,000 people is only more than 100,000 people.
It can be counted from the time the Sichuan army entered Paiknam County until now, and it has not experienced large-scale battles, but the main battle force has been reduced by more than half invisibly, and it is not due to casualties, but due to its own division of troops.
This is exactly a habit of the Sichuan army.
The Sichuan army has always paid attention to capturing and consolidating a place, and in order to consolidate a place, it is necessary to have garrisons to stay behind.
Chen Lihua is the orthodox general of the Sichuan army, and the decisions he made at this time are exactly what the Sichuan army has always been used to.
At this time, it reflects Chen Lihua's shortcomings of being decent and not knowing how to be flexible, and the policy and strategy of capturing a place and consolidating a place cannot be said to be wrong, but it needs to depend on the situation, as far as the current point of view, this is the biggest failure of the Sichuan army after entering Bainan County.
Of course, Chen Lihua also has confidence in doing this, even if the main battle strength of the Sichuan army is only more than 100,000 people, it still has an absolute advantage over the rebels.
And he and the Sichuan generals below also had a miscalculation, when the Sichuan army divided its troops to capture various towns, they all encountered stubborn resistance from the rebels stationed there, indicating that the rebels were also stationed in the whole territory of Bainan County, and they captured so many towns all the way, and the rebels eliminated were definitely not a few, according to the judgment that the rebels had 80,000 troops, the current rebel army strength was about 50,000 at best.
More than 100,000 against 50,000, almost three times the enemy, there is no suspense in winning.
Since the main force of the Sichuan army successfully advanced into Baiyang County, the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan army have become more relaxed, according to the speed of this road advance, several sides can capture the entire territory of Baiyang County within half a month, completely wipe out the rebels, by that time, the additional reinforcements sent by the imperial court are still on the way, and the credit for annihilating the rebels will be all credited to them.
Gao Peng, the commander of the 11th Legion, Feng Yu, the commander of the 16th Legion, and Chai Song, the commander of the 17th Legion, had already rushed to see Chen Lihua, and hurriedly drew the head portrait of Li Shu, the leader of the rebel army, and posted it everywhere to prevent Li Shu from absconding
