A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 946: In and out, Luo Hongxin, using his troops like a god, cannon fires
August 21, the first year of Dashun

After getting Bai Jian's promise, Luo Hongxin replenished his weapons and horses and rushed into Weizhou City again.

The army of tens of thousands seemed to be uninhabited. Le Congxun was furious and killed three generals on duty that day, but the siege of Weizhou remained.

23rd
Bai Jian led his generals Wang Cheng, Bai Ming and Yuan Ziang, and 3,000 soldiers under their command, set out from Mingzhou, hiding during the day and moving at night, and it took them two days to arrive in Weizhou.

"General, our troops have arrived near Housang Village."

Following the report from a scout, Bai Jian reined in his horse, looked back at the soldiers who were running out of breath, and ordered:

"Send the order, order Bai Ming to go out and investigate, don't let a single spy go. I will make Le Congxun blind within a three-mile radius centered on this area, and the rest of the troops will rest on the spot."

"Understood, sir." A middle-aged cavalry general sat upright on his warhorse, holding a whip in one hand, and clasped his fists towards Bai Jian from a distance to receive the order.

It was Bai Ming, the first cavalry general under Bai Jian and the commander of the cavalry, who was also his uncle, and led 500 cavalrymen.

Time passed and the sun was setting.

Bai Jian looked at the red in the sky, spit out the grass in his mouth, stood up suddenly, and ordered: "Pass the order, all troops move forward, target, Yuancheng."

Because Housang Village was only ten miles away from Yuancheng, it took only an hour to reach the Lecong training camp.

In the cover of night, Bai Jian stared at the slack Le army soldiers in the distance, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, knowing that this battle was a sure win.

Six months of continuous siege was enough for Le Congxun outside the city to relax his composure, so much so that he did not even know that the Baijian tribe had arrived at the camp.

"Send the order, signal the gun, attack."

"Boom!!!" The fireworks guns carried by the Baijian tribe emitted continuous roars into the sky, echoing over the entire Yuancheng.

"Kill!"

Wang Cheng, who was not far from Baijian, heard the sound and immediately commanded his 800 men to rush towards the camp in front of them.

Le Congxun led 30,000 men and set up five camps to besiege Yuancheng, one in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, with about 5,000 men in each camp. There was another camp in the southwest, which was the main camp with 10,000 soldiers.

The Left Commander-in-Chief Wang Cheng was in charge of the North Camp with 800 men, the Right Commander-in-Chief Yuan Ziang was in charge of the Central Camp with 800 men, Bai Jian personally led 900 men to train in the camp, and Bai Ming led 500 cavalrymen to stay behind Bai Jian to provide support.

"Where does the roar come from?" Le Congxun rushed out of the military tent in dishevel and shouted to his guards.

"General, the sound comes from the west."

"Report, the enemy is attacking the camp, the west gate has been breached, and the enemy is heading this way."

"Report, the West Village is under attack by the enemy."

"Report, General, the enemy troops in the city suddenly left the city, and General Liu of the South Camp is having a hard time resisting them. Request for support."

"General Wang of the Northern Camp has reported that there are enemy troops outside the camp."

In just half an hour, Le Congxun had only reorganized more than 5,000 people, but bad news came one after another.

He didn't believe that Yuancheng would have reinforcements in the current situation.

But now the whole camp was filled with the sounds of fighting and flames rising into the sky, and he could not help but believe it.

"General, the enemy troops in the west are small, about a few hundred people, and we may be able to attack and kill them." An officer who retreated from the front line provided key information to Le Congxun.

Le Congxun was delighted and immediately led his troops to Baijian, hoping to defeat the enemy and then turn around to push back the Yuancheng army.

"I will take this Yuancheng."

Here, Bai Jian chopped down another enemy lieutenant. Looking around, he saw that the enemy was increasing in number, while his own soldiers were decreasing in number. After all, most of Bai Jian's men were newly recruited soldiers, and veteran soldiers accounted for a small proportion. It was rare to achieve such a result by attacking a large camp of 10,000 people with only 900 people.

"Full squad." Following Bai Jian's shout, an officer with blood all over his face came up to him. He was the commander-in-chief of the backyard, responsible for commanding Bai Jian's 500 personal guards.

"Pass the order, all troops should fight and retreat, leave the camp."

"Understood sir." After receiving the order, the entire squad turned around without hesitation and commanded the troops to retreat.

"Bai Erzi." Bai Jian pulled over a guard who had been protecting him, "Ride my horse and tell Commander Bai Ming that my troops are about to retreat. Let him find the right time."

As Bai Jian issued orders one after another, the headquarters with only 800 people left slowly retreated towards the west gate of Leying.

"General, the enemy is retreating." Le Congxun had been directing the encirclement and suppression not far away when he received the report from his subordinates.

"Hahahaha." Le Congxun pointed at the fighting in Baijian not far away and said to his left and right with a smile: "The people of Yuancheng are at their wits' end. They have only a thousand men, yet they dare to charge into my camp."

"Come on, pass the order down, eradicate all evil, and don't let any of them escape."

Another half hour later, Bai Jian had commanded his troops to withdraw from Lecongxun's camp, several hundred steps away from the camp.

However, Le Jun was relentless and seemed determined not to give up until he had kept them.

In addition, in order to support the crumbling Nanzhai, Le Congxun transferred two thousand people from his headquarters to support Nanzhai.

"Boom, boom, boom." Both the enemy and our side who were fighting seemed to feel the ground shaking.

Turning around, they saw the five hundred cavalrymen of the Baiming tribe who had been staying outside the camp lined up in a neat formation and rushed towards the rear of the Le army.

On the plains, cavalry crushes infantry.

Not to mention it was dark, the darkness enveloped these five hundred cavalrymen, like a group of death gods coming from hell.

Le Congxun, who was waiting for news from all sides in the camp, suddenly saw a general with disheveled hair running in, stumbling:
"General, we are defeated, defeated. The enemy has cavalry ambushed outside. Our army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. The camp gate was breached again, and the enemy cavalry is heading towards us."

As soon as the general finished speaking, he heard the clear sound of horse hooves and screams getting closer and closer.

Le Congxun's face was pale and he was pushed out of the door in a daze and helped onto his warhorse.

Just as he was about to run away, he saw an enemy riding a horse coming towards him, sword flying wildly, and beheaded Le Congxun with one stroke. His men had no time to react at all.

The person who came was Bai Ming.

After he led his troops to defeat Le's army that had protruded out of the camp, he continued to ride non-stop, killing all the way and quickly maneuvered to Le Congxun's tent.

Although Le Cong's personal guards were very elite, Bai Ming came too hastily and was unprepared, so they were easily torn apart.

Then what happened just now happened.

After chopping off Le Congxun's head, Bai Ming ordered his men to carry it on spears and carry it to various places: "Your commander is dead, why don't you surrender quickly?"

The various units of the Le army that were still fighting were shocked when they saw Le Congxun's head. Some of them surrendered or fled. In just one hour, the entire Le army outside Yuancheng fell apart.

In this battle, the Baijian army beheaded more than a thousand people and captured ten thousand people, while the Wei Bo soldiers beheaded five hundred people and captured four thousand people.

On the second day, Bai Jian, accompanied by Bai Ming, Wang Cheng and others, stepped into Yuancheng, the capital of Weizhou. An Xianbin, Luo Hongxin and other Weizhou generals and captains knelt at the city gate to greet him.

In the afternoon, Bai Jian entered the Wei Bo military headquarters, accepted the greetings of Wei Bo’s civil and military officials, and officially took over the Wei Bo army.
