please make me king

Chapter 1597
Wakda died, and Daishan's fourth son Wakda died in battle in Liaoyang City.

Although most of the "dead soldiers" under his command were withdrawn, they were still cut off by Yang Chengzu, causing heavy casualties.

Prince Li Lie Daishan brought more than [-] people this time, and this time he was directly beaten and disabled a battalion, so he could only hide in the camp on the west bank of the Prince River.

"How's the situation?" After fighting for most of the night, both sides finally stopped and returned to the camp. Daishan quickly asked people to count the number of people.

"The situation is not very good. Only [-]% of the elite 'dead soldiers' returned, and the other two battalions were also injured!" Son Ma Zhan hurriedly reported.

"Approximately how many soldiers are there in 'Shun Bandit'?" Dai Shan frowned and asked involuntarily.

"Only four thousand cavalry were seen in the battle, and at least ten thousand infantry!" Ma Zhan reported with a solemn face.

Although he was at odds with Wakda and wished him to die, he never expected that this guy would really die.

Once Wakda died, the most elite "dead soldiers" under his command also suffered heavy losses. This was not the result he wanted.

"Thousands of people? I can't beat it!" Daishan couldn't help sighing after hearing the words.

It's not that acting kindly can increase the ambition of others and destroy one's own prestige, but that when there is not much difference in strength between the two sides, the number of people is the decisive factor in victory or defeat.

Now the rebel army has [-] troops, but only [-] to [-] of them themselves, no matter how capable Daishan is, it is difficult to parry.

"No, why are there so many people here? Where is Your Majesty?" Ma Zhan frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty also has His Majesty's difficulties!" Dai Shan sighed, "Now we have to stick to it, until His Majesty arrives, will we have a chance!"

Of course, even though Daishan doesn't say anything, he can't help complaining in his heart.

I brought more than [-] troops to deal with Dongjiang, and you brought [-] troops to rescue Guangning.

In the end, before I beat Dongjiang down, you let the "Shun thief" in. What do you mean?
However, although he felt a lot of resentment in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time for internal strife.

If the [-] troops under Duoduo's command were gone, and the Qing Dynasty would be gone, how would he, Prince Li Lie, end well?

Not to mention how Daishan tossed and turned overnight, let's say that Zhang Sanbai repelled Daishan, beheaded Wakda, lined up outside the city, and recruited Huang Degong to come to meet.

"General!" Until Huang Degong saw Zhang Sanbai with his own eyes, tears welled up in his eyes.

"How's the situation?" Zhang Sanbai didn't take the opportunity to get in touch with him, instead he said in a business-like manner.

Since ancient times, the main general is most likely to be suspected by the monarch.

Now Zhang Sanbai's younger sister Ma Yingniang is deeply favored by Zhang Shun, and she is the leader of the army, so she naturally knows that she needs to avoid suspicion.

How did Huang Degong know that Zhang Sanbai was thinking too much, seeing that Zhang Sanbai didn't answer his words, he couldn't help feeling grateful.

"Li, Han, and Cui's three families in the city are helping each other, and the city is worthy of defense!" Huang Degong reported with a bit of complacency.

"The reinforcements from the Luo Xiangqian and Wu Sangui battalions originally arrived, but they were just to come out at a critical moment."

"It's just that I didn't expect the opponent to suddenly step up their offensive and almost couldn't resist it. I have already invited them to attack."

"What?" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help being taken aback before Huang Degong finished speaking.

He originally thought that the two battalions had joined the battlefield, but he never expected that they hadn't arrived yet.

"Report, Zongbing Luo and General Wu Shen want to see you!" At this moment, the soldiers' reports sounded outside at the right time.

"Let them in!" Zhang Sanbai was surprised and delighted, and ordered quickly.

"General, General Huang!" Not long after, Luo Xiangqian and Wu Sangui came in hand in hand, and met Zhang Sanbai and Huang Degong respectively.

"What's the matter with you, if it wasn't for the general leading the main force to come this time, my old Huang would be cold!" Huang Degong couldn't hold back when the four of them finished their courtesies.

"Hey, don't mention it!" Luo Xiangqian and Wu Sangui couldn't help explaining quickly after hearing the words, "We traveled all the way by boat, but we forgot the distance."

"After receiving your letter, it will be too late to count the people and come overland!"

It turned out that in order to prevent Luo Xiangqian and Wu Sangui from being detected by Daishandao's scouts, Anzha's camp was a little far away.

Originally, they planned to come by water as soon as the police were called.

It's just that this time to break the siege of Liaoyang City, we can only go by land, which is slower.

And when they rushed to the battlefield, the victory and defeat of the rebel army and the Houjin soldiers had already been divided, so they were not needed.

The two of them managed to explain clearly, Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he explained: "You came just in time, now our army is divided into two groups, encircling the Tartars from the west and south respectively."

"If you can take the water and attack the other generation, you will be able to defeat them in one battle!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and they couldn't help praising: "This plan is very clever!"

The four of them had made a plan, and the next morning they would bury the pot to make food and go out to the camp before dawn the next morning.

The formation of the rebel army was very simple. In one area, Zhang Sanbai led the formation against the city, and faced the Houjin army to the east.

One was led by Zu Dashou, threatening the Hou Jin army in the south.

That Daishan knew that he was invincible, so he leaned his back on the camp and formed a "backwater but moon formation".

After the formation of the two sides, the sky had already brightened, and Zhang Sanbai waved the banner, and ordered one word: "Fight!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" It was the artillery of the rebels who fired first.

Since Zhang Shun established the "Great Artillery Doctrine", the rebel army has relied on artillery in all battles.

This time Zhang Sanbai brought three battalions of Biaoying, Yang Chengzu and Li Fuming, with more than [-] artillery pieces of various types.

The Zu Dashou Department located in the south is still the old establishment of the Ming army, with only eighteen cannons of the generals.

Although this firepower is not strong, it is enough to suppress the Houjin soldiers.

"Father, the thief's artillery is sharp, this battle is impossible!" As soon as the two sides fought, the people with red flags who had never fought against the rebels couldn't stand it anymore.

I have seen guns used, but I have never seen guns used like this.

The shells came in turn like they didn't want money, and the Houjin soldiers were very passive.

"Return to the camp to defend!" Daishan pondered for a long time, but there was no good way, so he had to order.

"Aren't we shrinking heads?" Ma Zhan complained when he heard the words.

"You can. You don't want to be a coward, go and kill them!" Daishan was almost annoyed, and couldn't help pointing at the rebel army outside.

"." Ma Zhan blushed immediately when he heard the words, but he really didn't dare to rush out, so he retreated in embarrassment.

It's just that Daishan's retreat doesn't matter, most of the artillery shells of the rebel army hit the Houjin camp, and their power was greatly reduced.

"What should I do, General!" Li Fuming couldn't help asking for instructions when he saw that he was in a stalemate again.

"Pull out the red barbarian cannons of the Tartars in a while!" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but ordered.

The four Hongyi cannons of Houjin weighed two to three thousand catties, and their multiple diameters were at least 25 or more.

As field artillery, these artillery were difficult to load and laborious to transport, although they were inferior to the field artillery and golden artillery of the Rebel Army.

If it is used as a siege gun, the advantages of high precision and great power of this long gun will be revealed.

"Ah? Didn't the fire doors of these cannons be nailed to death by me?" Yang Chengzu was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"I've ordered the craftsmen to drill it overnight, just for this purpose!" Zhang Sanbai made a small profit.

It turned out that Yang Chengzu led the cavalry to capture the Houjin artillery position, but he couldn't take it away for a while, so he ordered people to weld the fire gate to death.

Fortunately, Zhang Sanbai was prepared, and these fire doors were drilled open again.

"Boom!" Following Zhang Sanbai's order, not long after, the gunner pushed up the Hongyi cannon and bombarded Houjin's camp.

Although the firing frequency of these Hongyi cannons is relatively low, the advantage is that the barrels are long and the bullets are fast, which caused great damage to the simple fence set up in the Houjin camp.

"It can't be done, going on like this is not an option!" Now without Mazhan's reminder, Daishan also discovered the problem.

The current situation, in the military terminology of this era, is called "the subject and the object change positions, controlled by others", and in the words of later generations, it is called "losing the initiative."

Losing the initiative and letting the opponent do whatever they want is a taboo in the art of war.

"Pass my order, wait for the 'Shun Bandit' to die, and follow me to break out to the south!" Seeing that nothing can be done, Daishan decisively issued the order to break out.
