Before the war, Yuan Zongdi first received the news sent by Liu Tichun, knowing that Liu Tichun had begun to engage with Zuo Mengeng's troops in Yuan'an, he couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly led 50,000 troops to leave Jingmen, rushing all the way in the direction of Yuan'an, intending to surround Zuo Menggeng's troops and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
At the same time, it also brought a series of bad news: "Yuan'an has been lost, Liu Tichun was ambushed, life and death are unknown, Han Ming rebelled and defected to the Ming army!"
”Suddenly, Yuan Zongdi was blinded by this series of bad news: "The Ming army is so powerful?
”Yuan Zongdi was born with a cautious character, this time he suddenly heard the news, where do he dare to move forward, he has been working hard in Jingmen for a long time, the trench battle wall is like a copper wall, at this time, since he already knew that Zuo Mengeng's troops were unstoppable, Yuan Zongdi immediately made a decision, immediately ordered to retreat, and retreated to the defensive position less than three miles outside Jingmen City, and set up a position in his original camp, solemnly waiting for Zuo Menggeng's arrival.As a result, Zuo Mengeng did not come, the soldiers under Liu Tichun fled with the Yuan'an County Order and Yuan'an County Cheng like a lost dog, in Lu An's mouth, the generals of the Ming army are simply like wolves and tigers, enough to be a hundred, Yuan'an held on for less than an hour, the north city gate was broken, Liu Tichun led nearly 10,000 troops, just a face, it immediately collapsed, and the generals under Yuan Zongdi, who bluffed, were all colorless.Yuan'an County Linghe County Cheng himself became a deserter, where can it be said that the army is weak?
These two guys can't wait to say that the Ming army is a heavenly soldier and a general, so as to cover up the fact that they fled without a fight, naturally they are standing aside and echoing loudly, while adding oil and vinegar to supplement, the two of them are originally a showman, and the adjectives are much richer than Lu An, under the description of the two of them, the general of the Ming army, Zuo Mengeng, is simply eight feet tall, and even the waist circumference is also eight feet of peerless fierce generals, just a roar, the wall of Yuan'an collapsed, raised the big knife in his hand and waved, Liu Tichun's army was defeated, if it is said that Zuo Mengeng is an enemy of 10,000 people, it is already an insult to Zuo Mengeng.Yuan Zongdi was heavily instructed by Li Zicheng to do his best to guard Jingmen.Jingmen north through Beijing and Henan, south to Huguang, east view of Wuyue, west with Sichuan and Qin, known as "Jingchu portal" said, since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, all dynasties have set up a state and county here, the soldiers accumulate grain, for the soldiers must fight for the place.Yuan Zongdi, as a strategic envoy appointed by Li Zicheng, is definitely not an illiterate blind streamer, and he also has some skills in his chest.Yuan Zongdi doesn't think that even if Zuo Mengeng is powerful, he has not yet reached the courage of ten thousand people.It's just that the facts in front of him are clearly in front of him, and the troops led by Zuo Mengeng are indeed more than one level higher than his own army, which is also an indisputable fact.It's strange, Li Zicheng's time to become powerful is too short, and he doesn't have the rich foundation of the Ming army, after Yuan Zongdi thought about it, he also acquiesced to the statement of Lu An and others in disguise.Yuan Zongdi divided his troops in the fortifications outside the city, which was originally to advance and attack, retreat and defend, echoing each other freely, but at this time, after Yuan Zongdi heard that the Ming army was so good, he thought that it was obviously better to divide the troops than to join the army, so after thinking about it, Yuan Zongdi first appeased the two people such as the Yuan'an County Commander, and then greatly commended Lu An's loyalty to the Ming army who refused to obey and rebel against the Ming army like Han Ming, and immediately ordered that the troops stationed in the city should leave the city immediately except for those who normally guarded the city.
Join forces in one place to defend against the attack of Zuo Menggeng's army.Why didn't Yuan Zongdi retreat?
And to transfer all the troops in the city out of the city?
Because, Yuan Zongdi received the will of King Chuang, he must exterminate the army of the imperial court and desperately defend Jingmen, so as to ensure that the entire rear of Jiangnan is safe, Yuan Zongdi commanded more than 100,000 mighty Jingmen army, Liu Tichun was eaten by the Ming army, and then Yuan Zongdi retreated in the city.This first battle is impossible not to fight for the Ming army, but for Yuan Zongdi, why can't it not be fought?
Exploring the horses is like shuttling.Zuo Mengeng really came, after Zuo Mengeng reported the speed report and the town guard in Xiangyang to preside over the overall dispatch of Jiang Chuhan, Jiang Chuhan immediately gave a decisive order, immediately sent troops to Jingmen, and took advantage of the situation to recover the land of Jingmen!
So, Zuo Mengeng led the army to come from Yuan'an City to Jingmen again, stationed on the short weir slope, the short weir slope is only ten miles away from Jingmen, and the Yuan Zongdi camp stationed outside the city is even more instantaneous, Yuan Zongdi did not dare to slack off, patrolled the camp arrangement, and made every effort to make every effort to replenish the already impeccable military camp with 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, reaching 100,000 people!
An army of 100,000 people, several miles of company camps, mighty like a copper wall and iron wall, Yuan Zongdi, who was smiling, was covered in iron armor, his hand pressed on the hilt of his sword, and he stood majestically on the high watchtower, on his shoulders, the scarlet cloak trembled in the wind!
Overlooking the camp that had been impregnable under his careful deployment for a long time, Yuan Zongdi's heart suddenly had a heroic aura: "Zuo Mengeng, come on!"
I want to see, how can you break my army of 100,000?!
”In the southwest corner of the thief barracks, in the Xuanzi camp, Lu An and his soldiers were arranged, and Yuan'an County Linghe County Cheng originally wanted to ask the envoy to send troops to escort them to Jingmen City, but Yuan Zongdi was busy deploying troops and deploying defense, and the two were really embarrassed to speak, so they were temporarily arranged here.In front of the tent, the idle Yuan'an County Ling and Yuan'an County Cheng were lazily basking in the sun, and Lu An smiled at them and said, "My lord just left Yuan'an?"
The war is in chaos, if the lady of the Lord Xinna stays in Yuan'an alone, I'm afraid it's not very appropriate!
”Hearing this, the Yuan'an County Commander couldn't help but say with a straight face: "It is related to the great cause of the king, what is the personal honor and disgrace?"
In the past, Zhang Patrol was able to kill his concubine in Suiyang, and he cooked it and distributed it to all the soldiers, and the official was deeply blessed by the Apostle and King Chuang, how could he be greedy for women?
Captured by the Ming army?
It's a big deal to wait until King Chuang completes the great cause, and the official will buy another concubine!
”On September 23, the fifth day of the fall of Yuan'an, the imperial army led by Zuo Mengeng began to launch its first attack on the camp of the thieves.The offensive was not violent, taking advantage of the fog in the morning, Zuo Mengeng launched a sneak attack, the two sides only did a short fight, and the exchange of troops was less than half an hour, because of a sudden heavy rain, the two sides withdrew their troops because of this.Yuan Zongdi's combat experience is not less than that of Zuo Mengeng, and he can be regarded as a brave and resourceful general under Li Zicheng, seeing Zuo Mengeng's situation, he knows that this battle is just foreplay, and this time the general of the Ming army, Zuo Mengeng, is just a tentative attack, and when he waits for the next time, he will never be so commonplace.What's more, Zuo Mengeng's army does not have much grain and grass, and the Ming army has just arrived in Jiangnan, so it is impossible to make up so many servants to escort grain and grass for a while, so Zuo Mengeng will definitely not fight against Yuan Zongdi's army here for a long time, and in the next battle, it is possible to break the earth!
Therefore, Yuan Zongdi braved the torrential rain to inspect the whole battalion, mobilized all the troops, and was ready to fight at any time.The torrential rain did not stop until evening, and the river swelled like a dragon, roaring eastward.In Yuan Zongdi's barracks, all the soldiers were waiting for the night and never slept at all, even ordinary soldiers knew that this heavy rain had washed away a lot of fortifications, and the roads were muddy, although the road conditions were not favorable to both Zuo Mengeng and Yuan Zongdi, but the Ming army had few soldiers, and the thieves were numerous, and this unfavorable factor obviously had a greater impact on Li Zicheng and others.However, after a night of waiting, he did not wait for Zuo Mengeng's soldiers, and it was not until dawn in the east that Yuan Zongdi lifted his guard.When the sun was in the sky, the smoke drifted in the Ming military camp than Yuan Zongdi's military camp for a moment, and Yuan Zongdi climbed the watchtower to observe carefully for a long time, and then slowly descended.Since Zuo Mengeng is not in a hurry to attack, Yuan Zongdi will naturally not be in a hurry, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the Ming army, compared to Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi is obviously much more calm.However, at noon, three cannon shots suddenly sounded in Zuo Menggeng's camp, and the army immediately broke through the camp and entered, shouting and roaring, like a raging river, launching an all-out attack on Yuan Zongdi's military camp!
Yuan Zongdi climbed the watchtower, looked far ahead, and commanded as determined.Under his orders one after another, he made them change, and transmitted one general order after another to the armies accurately and in a timely manner, and all the soldiers and horses attacked and defended in an orderly manner under the command and dispatch of Yuan Zongdi, and his military camp was always a rock, allowing Zuo Menggeng's army to come like a flood, but it was always immovable.Suddenly, an arrow-like rush of the team suddenly attracted Yuan Zongdi's attention, only to see that far away, there were two big flags in the team, one flag said "Ming", and the other flag said "left", Yuan Zongdi hurriedly took two steps forward, held the watchtower with both hands, and muttered to himself: "It's Zuo Mengeng!"
Zuo Mengeng personally went out!
”I have heard for a long time that General Zuo will take the lead in every battle, and I thought that it was just Liu Tichun who wanted to agree with Liu Tichun to go out of the city to face the battle and lied, at this moment, when Yuan Zongdi saw with his own eyes the "left" character banner representing Zuo Menggeng himself, Yuan Zongdi believed it at this time, the rumors were true!!
