Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 159

After Li Dingguo withdrew, he rested for a while, then changed direction, and when Gao Yingxiang's subordinates relaxed their vigilance, they launched an attack again.

That night, Li Dingguo led his troops to launch several consecutive attacks from the north, northeast, and northwest of Zhaojialing Village. Gao Yingxiang and his subordinates were exhausted and wanted to pursue them, but the number of targets was too small. Where can I catch up?

As for lighting torches to chase Gao Yingxiang, I didn't even think about it. The range of the enemy's weapons can reach more than 200 steps. Lighting torches?Doesn't that make people a target?If he dared to issue this order, he would probably be able to light countless torches around him.

In the end, Gao Yingxiang had no choice but to order the soldiers to extinguish all the bonfires in the camp. In the dark, Li Dingguo's people could not see the target clearly, so naturally they would not waste bullets, and then they retreated to rest.

However, Gao Yingxiang's people could hide at night, but not during the day.

At dawn the next day, Li Dingguo launched an attack again. Gao Yingxiang couldn't hit him, and he had nowhere to escape. He could only be beaten passively. Fortunately, the enemy army didn't just use muskets blindly. After firing a few shots, they usually started to use bows and arrows. Gao Yingxiang's men Finally, it was clear who was attacking them.

But it was impossible to fight back. Once Gao Yingxiang's men made a counterattack, these people immediately started to use muskets again.

Li Dingguo and others fought more and more smoothly, but Gao Yingxiang was getting more and more headaches.

There are not many people in this group, at most two hundred people, but this group of people is like a dog's skin plaster, it is just a layer of skin when you put it on, but the weapons are so sharp that Gao Yingxiang's people don't even have room to fight back No.

Can't fight, can't run, can only be a turtle.

Gao Yingxiang gave an order that no one was allowed to leave the camp gate, not even the tents.

Li Dingguo had no choice but to harass and attack from the outside, and it was okay to take advantage of the chaos to attack, but Li Dingguo was not capable of forcibly breaking into the camp.

Gao Yingxiang's seemingly helpless way is precisely the best way.

But this method can only be used for a while, because Gao Yingxiang's troops are not hundreds or thousands of people, but tens of thousands. He was tortured to death bit by bit.

The only way to survive is to break through!
But where to break through?
To the west is the unidentified army. Thousands of people beat them to pieces, and they were in a mess. They were more ruthless than Cao Wenzhao's Guanning cavalry.You can fight Cao Wenzhao at least twice. If you fight with these people, you can't even get close. Running west is tantamount to death. What's more, in Gaoping in the northwest, there are Cao Wenzhao's Guanning cavalry waiting. .

As for the east and south, Gao Yingxiang has already found out that they are the guards of Lin County. According to the report of the spies, there are about 2000 people. Although the number is not large, they are definitely elite officers and soldiers. Compared with Cao Wenzhao The [-] infantry under his command were no different.

Fighting against these people, Gao Yingxiang thought for a long time and finally vetoed this idea. If he fails to break through, the whole army may be wiped out.

Then there is only one last direction left, go north, enter the Taihang Mountains, and capture Huguan.

Having made up his mind, Gao Yingxiang ordered the whole army to rest and break out the next morning.

In fact, there was absolutely no need to order to rest. The group of his men had been hiding in camps and houses for a whole day, and if they rested, they probably wouldn't bother to leave.

Early the next morning, before the sky was bright, Gao Yingxiang's troops began to break out of the camp. When everything was cleared up and the sky turned pale, Gao Yingxiang gave an order to break through.

It should be said that the early stage of the operation was relatively smooth. The guys who kept harassing the day before were probably tired and went to sleep somewhere.

The scouts who were exploring the way ahead did not find any trace of the enemy after exploring the road for more than ten miles.

Gao Yingxiang was very happy to hear the news, and finally got rid of those lingering guys.

It's a pity that he didn't wait for too long to be happy. Just when his troops reached the foot of Longwang Mountain and were about to enter the mountain, there was a sudden gunshot in front of them. Gao Yingxiang couldn't be more familiar with this gunshot, because this gunshot was once Toss them all day and night.

Hearing the gunshots, Gao Yingxiang only felt a buzzing in his head. He really wanted to ask the scouts who were looking for the way, didn't they say that no enemy was found in front?Where did these guys come from?

At the same time, he also wanted to ask these people blocking the way, you are not officers and soldiers, do I have any grudge against you?Why are you so relentless?I just want to make a living, why are you beating me up like this?
But he didn't dare to step forward to ask these words. Gao Yingxiang knew very well the strength of the other party's weapons, let alone step forward to ask questions, even if the distance was close, he would be in danger of death.

It is the first team of the Pioneer Battalion led by Li Dingguo who intercepts here. Li Dingguo seems to have a natural sense of war.

When he saw Gao Yingxiang's men huddled in the camp, he immediately knew that this method was only effective temporarily, and it must not last for a long time.

So what will Gao Yingxiang plan next?He is absolutely unwilling to wait for death in this place, the only way out is to break through.

To the east and south were the officers and soldiers of Lin County blocking him. As long as Gao Yingxiang was not stupid, he would never fight to the death with the officers and soldiers. He had suffered a lot in Lingchuan to the west, and he would not turn back. The only way out was to go to Huguan run in the direction.

Although many old and weak women and children may be left behind when crossing mountains and mountains, will Gao Yingxiang consider this?In the past two years, Gao Yingxiang has suffered countless defeats, and it is commonplace to leave the old and weak, women and children behind.

For their own survival, how can they care about whether these old and weak women and children can climb mountains and mountains?What's more, these people have now become Gao Yingxiang's burden.

After a brief analysis, Li Dingguo concluded that Gao Yingxiang would flee in the direction of Huguan, and immediately set up an ambush on Gao Yingxiang's only way.

Li Dingguo is very clear about his strengths and weaknesses.His advantage is that his weapons are excellent, Gao Yingxiang's men are no match at all, and his disadvantage is that there are too few people. If he fights on flat ground, Gao Yingxiang will risk his life to run, and he can't stop him at all. The only way to block Gao Yingxiang's troops is to use the terrain.

Li Dingguo's ambush site was Longwang Mountain. Although it was not a high mountain and a dangerous road, it was guarded by the mountain, which happened to block the way to Huguan.

If Gao Yingxiang wanted to break through, he had to defeat Li Dingguo's army. However, due to the limited terrain, Gao Yingxiang's superiority in military strength could not be fully utilized unless he scattered his troops all over the mountains and plains. But if he did that, it would not be called a breakout. It's called collapse, even if this group of people passed through Longwang Mountain, it would be difficult to get together again.

You know, tens of thousands of people is not a small number. There is a saying that if you exceed [-], you will have no boundaries, and if you exceed [-], you will reach the sky.If there are so many people herding sheep, it is impossible to get together without a ten-and-a-half-year-old.If someone hits again at this time, it will completely collapse.

As the leader of the rebel army, Gao Yingxiang would never do such a stupid thing.

Gao Yingxiang really didn't do such a stupid thing, he knew very well what would happen to him if his subordinates dispersed.

Gao Yingxiang's troops consisted of five parts: the front, the front, the left, the left, and the middle. In normal combat, the front army rushed forward, the left and right armies responded, the rear army defended behind, and the central army pressed the formation.

It's a pity that he is only a small soldier, and he doesn't know how to command a large army to fight.Of course, if he understood, he would have been promoted a long time ago. Even if he hadn't been promoted, he wouldn't have suffered so many defeats at the hands of officers and soldiers during the rebellion.

In fact, you are not afraid of losing a battle. Throughout the ages, at least nine out of ten famous generals have suffered defeat. The key is to learn from experience after losing a battle, sum up lessons, and not be discouraged. Only in this way can you become stronger and stronger, and finally become a generation of famous generals.

Gao Yingxiang is obviously not the material for a famous general. He has suffered so many defeats, and he has not learned how to lead his men to break through the encirclement, or his men don't know how to break through the encirclement.

After all, most of his subordinates were peasants. After the rebellion, they started fighting with officers and soldiers. They didn't have much time for training. Without training, they were disorganized and disciplined, and they didn't even obey orders.

Such an army is fine in a downwind battle, but it is not good in a tough battle. When encountering a fierce general and army like Cao Wenzhao, it is basically a crushing defeat.

When Gao Yingxiang's troops moved to break through the encirclement, they did not pass through the five armies one by one, but together.

The mountain road was inherently difficult, and the road was not wide enough. Tens of thousands of horses and horses dragged long lines and marched into the mountain. When they were suddenly attacked, the people in front were in a mess.

There was chaos in the front and chaos in the back. Gao Yingxiang was caught in the crowd, and it took a lot of effort to stop the panic of his subordinates, and it took a lot of effort to convey the order to the troops in front.

Gao Yingxiang's order was very simple: rush over with all his might.

It should be said that Gao Yingxiang's order was quite correct. Although the opponent's firepower was fierce, but after all, there were not many people, and they did not shoot endlessly.

As long as you can survive the most difficult distance ahead, as long as you get close to the enemy, then with the advantage of a large number of people, you will definitely defeat the enemy.

Gao Yingxiang's order was quite effective. Although people kept falling down, there were still countless people rushing forward.

But when they were only a few dozen steps away from the enemy, and they could immediately fight in close quarters, the enemy suddenly stopped shooting, and then hundreds of black objects were thrown out of these people's hands.

I don't know what these things are, they are still smoking in the sky, and they explode when they fall into the crowd of people.

This thing dealt too much blow to Gao Yingxiang's subordinates. Those who were lucky enough to survive would not dare to charge again, and fled back after rolling and crawling. Obviously, these people fled back much faster than when they charged.

Those who attacked in front began to retreat, and the people behind them also began to retreat. This is what is called a collapse of thousands of miles.
