The Western Army arrived in Guangzhou and won the first battle, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders in Guangzhou.The Han army in the western suburbs retreated into the camp and suppressed it with firearms, so as to stabilize the camp and block the attack of the western army on the camp.At this time, at the fence of the Han army, muskets were fired, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the western troops who attacked the camp were shot down and killed one after another.Seeing this, Li Dingguo tightened the reins of his horse, and the soldiers of the Western Army stopped outside the camp.Li Dingguo rode on the war horse, looked at the Han army camp, suddenly raised the iron gun in his hand, and sneered, "Zhao thief is also capable of this!"
”Bai Wenxuan, the general of the Western Army, suddenly lost no time in raising his arms and shouted, "Soldiers, who is the opponent of Zhao Thief?"
”"Onishi!
Onishi!
Onishi!
”Nearly 10,000 officers and men of the Western Army roared excitedly, raised their weapons high, and put them down in unison, the cry shook the sky, and their morale was like a rainbow.In the Han army camp, Zhao Ming stood on the high platform, looking at the outside of the camp, Li Dingguo's demeanor, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really a tiger general!"
It's a pity that it's not used by this king!
”At this time, Li Dingguo led the cavalry, galloped outside the Han army camp for a while, and finally pulled out the reins of the horse and flaunted his might.When Li Dingguo led the troops back to the camp, Qu Shiyun and many Ming Dynasty officials had already come to Li Dingguo's camp.In the early morning of the next day, in the city of Guangzhou, the soldiers who held on to the night with weapons in their arms were awake one after another.Because yesterday the reinforcements dared to come, and in the western suburbs of Guangzhou, a small victory over the Han army, made the atmosphere in Guangzhou much more relaxed.The city, which was lifeless a few days ago, began to come alive today, and many soldiers talked about yesterday's battle and joked about the men's laughter.At this time, Zhu Yuyi, the king of Yue, led a group of officials to inspect the city wall, and saw that the soldiers gradually recovered their morale, and their hearts couldn't help but settle down a lot.After the completion of the city tour, the sky was already bright, and when it was time for breakfast, Zhu Yuye prepared to go down to the city and return to the palace to have breakfast.At this time, a group of horse troops outside the city returned from outside the city.After the first battle yesterday, all the Han troops were huddled in the camp and relaxed the siege of Guangzhou, so Zhu Yuye sent scouts out of the city to contact the Western Army and Qu Shiyun, and spy on the Han army."
The Han army has withdrawn!
The Han army withdrew!
”The cavalry galloped to the city gates, and shouted loudly from a distance.Zhu Yuyi, who was about to go down to the city, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, turned his head and asked, "What?"
”The soldiers at the head of the city did not hear clearly at first, and many of them got up one after another, stood on the edge of the city wall, looked at the rushing cavalry, and asked their comrades what the cavalry shouted."
Your Highness, it seems that the Han army has withdrawn!"
Su Guansheng opened his ears and said uncertainly.Zhu Yuyi and the surrounding officials looked at each other, and they all felt a little surprised and couldn't believe it.The Han army attacked Guangzhou for more than two months, spent countless money and food, and suffered thousands of casualties, so why did it suddenly retreat?
That Zhao Tiebang is notorious, so he just gave up, not worried that his prestige would be damaged, which would make people laugh.Although the Han army lost the battle yesterday, it was not defeated, and the elite of the Han army did not make a move, so they retreated, so Zhao Tiebang would be willing?
At that moment, Zhu Yuye turned around and separated the crowd, and walked straight to the city tower, where the cavalry galloped into the urn city.This time, Zhu Yuyi heard it clearly, and he was indeed shouting that the Han army had withdrawn."
Go!
Let the scouts come to meet the Lone King!
”Zhu Yuyi immediately commanded urgently.After a short time, after the cavalry galloped into the city, they hurriedly reined in the horse, flew down, and then trotted all the way up the steps to the city wall, came to the city tower, and knelt on one knee, "Humble greetings to Your Highness!"
”Zhu Yuyi asked in a deep voice: "Just now, what did you say about the withdrawal of the Han army?"
”The scout immediately said: "Back to Your Highness, the Han army outside the West City has indeed withdrawn.He was ordered to go out of the city to spy and found that after dawn, there was no movement in the Han army camp, so he checked closely and found that the camp was empty. ”Zhu Yuyi showed a look of surprise on his face, but then frowned again and asked, "What about outside the East City?"
”Su Guan heard this, and hurriedly saluted: "Humble position, send someone to investigate!"
”At noon, the cavalry of the Ming army, who went to explore outside the eastern city, rushed back to the city one after another.At this time, Zhu Yuyi was already in the Yuewang Mansion, and after listening to the scout's report, he couldn't believe it for a long time: "Zhao Tiebang really retreated?"
”After all, Zhao Ming is prestigious, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he is almost an invincible existence.Scout Qianhu knelt on the ground and reported: "Your Highness, I led a hundred horsemen to investigate, and found the Han army camp outside the east city, moved away and rejected the horses, the camp tent was put away, and most of the Han army had been evacuated.He led the cavalry and approached the camp, only to encounter a small force of Han cavalry to block it. ”When Zhu Yuyi heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.At this time, Su Guansheng couldn't help but say: "Zhao Tiebang has always cherished his soldiers, and now the Western Army and the Guangxi wolf soldiers come to help, and the city is each other's horns, and the Han army is already difficult to capture the city."
Zhao Tiebang evacuated at this time, even if he knew each other, if he left later, the army would be trapped in the city for a long time, and the morale would be low, and he would not be able to leave if he wanted to. ”Zhu Yuyi couldn't help but nodded, if it were him, I am afraid it would also be a dilemma.At this time, the reinforcements arrived, the morale of the defenders in the city was greatly boosted, the difficulty of the siege increased, and there were still Western troops and wolf soldiers peeping on the side.In case the siege reaches a critical moment, the western army and the wolf soldiers launch a surprise attack, and the Han army is afraid that it will be defeated under the internal and external attacks.If so, the Han army will attack the reinforcements outside the city first, and the defenders inside the city will also take the opportunity to kill.Now, the defenders in the city plus reinforcements outside the city have more troops than the Han army.Therefore, in Zhu Yuyi's view, Zhao Ming's continued stay in Guangzhou at this time will only consume grain, grass and morale, and if it continues for a long time, it will inevitably fail miserably.Repelling Zhao Ming, who was famous all over the world, made Zhu Yuyi feel a little proud, and said with a smile: "Hmph, count Zhao Tiebang as an acquaintance, otherwise he will definitely make him look good." ”Everyone was also smiling, and Ding Kuichu, the governor of Liangguang, danced happily and laughed: "Haha!
Zhao thief can't help us after all!
Good!
All right!
”Gu Yuanjing, the political envoy, was happy, but he didn't want to pat himself on the back and said: "This is all the credit of His Royal Highness!"
”Su Guansheng reminded: "Although the Han army retreats, we still need to find out where Zhao Tiebang retreats to be at ease!"
”Zhu Yuyi nodded immediately, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, let Jiao Lian lead his troops out of the city to investigate, and be sure to confirm that the Han army has withdrawn." ”On the same day, the Ming general Jiao Lian led 3,000 Ming troops out of the city to investigate, and the Ming army soon caught up with the tail of the Han army.When Jiao Lian followed the Han army from Guangzhou to Dongguan, then to Huizhou, and then into Chaozhou, the Han army seemed to finally couldn't bear it and hit Jiao Lian in an ambush.Jiao Lian lost 1,000 men and did not dare to continue the pursuit, so he led his troops back to Guangzhou.The news came back to Guangzhou, and it was learned that the Han army had retreated to Chaozhou and was far away from Guangzhou, so there was no doubt that they would give up attacking Guangzhou.This made Zhu Yuqi overjoyed, and on the one hand, he wrote to the imperial court to report the victory, and on the other hand, he held a banquet to entertain him, and Qu Shiyun and Li Dingguo, who rushed to reinforce him, were ready to celebrate in a big way.()
