Aspiration

Chapter 42 Lost
Now, Li Laiheng didn't have any mobile troops in his hands.

Wang Si took away [-] cavalry and maneuvered on the northern front; Luo Hu led [-] troops to the east.Their tasks are not easy, and they will not come back in a while.

Li Laiheng's only [-] personal soldiers were also released, and they rescued Li Zicheng on the way.

Li Laiheng sits in the central army, and he is cooking without rice.

After a day, the north did launch an offensive, but, strangely, the battle took place in Shimen Valley.Li Laiheng sent scouts to investigate the situation in Shimen Valley.

Aries shop is on the verge.

Liu Zongmin looked at the long banners and dark cloud-like heads in front of the pass, and felt an ominous premonition in his heart.Today, he has counterattacked the sixth attack.

From yesterday to today, Yang Sichang used the elite from Liaodong, and organized a total of 3 attacks. He roughly estimated the strength of the troops, and the enemy had assembled nearly [-] people. The Wuguan might have reinforcements, but he was actually shabby It's time to hit ten again.

It sounds very heroic to beat the crowd with a few.However, on the battlefield, apart from being frightened and sad when encountering such a situation, how can there be any pride to speak of?

I don't know how many more attacks there are today, Yang Sichang seems to be crazy, does the attack need to be so desperate?Surprisingly, the enemy began to use artillery fire. Facing this most powerful weapon, Liu Zongmin himself did not even have the confidence to say that he could survive today.At this moment, a military newspaper reported that Zhang Nai led a thousand elite troops to reinforce Zhiting Mountain.

Liu Zongmin's tired face immediately showed a bright smile.

"Grandma, Zhang Nai came just in time, hurry up, send the order, Zhang Nai will come to Baiyang store to guard the gate!"

Li Laiheng looked at the military newspapers that flew like snowflakes.

Although the situation in Shimen Valley was unexpected, Li Laiheng didn't have time to think about the war in the north. Whether Shimen Valley was lost or not was not the most important thing, what was important was the critical situation in the south.According to reports, as soon as Zhang Nai arrived at Zhiting Mountain, he was ordered by Liu Zongmin to go straight to Baiyangdian before he had time to set up his defenses.The enemy's attack on Baiyangdian was extremely fierce. Liu Zongmin was worried that he would not be able to defend, so when he heard Zhang Nai's arrival, he hurriedly recruited Zhang Nai to lead the troops to fight against the enemy at Baiyangdian.Liu Zongmin has always been the commander on the battlefield. It is a matter of course for him to mobilize troops. How can Zhang Nai dare to say no?He had no choice but to lead the troops to Baiyangdian while sending a letter to Li Laiheng.

When Li Laiheng saw that Zhang Nai had been transferred away by Liu Zongmin, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought that there was still something to worry about.

On the battlefield, we are afraid that the command will fail, and we will be afraid of fighting on our own. Now, at a critical moment, the problem has arisen.

Tian Jianxiu's face was pale. He has worked with Liu Zongmin for many years. How could Tian Jianxiu not know his temper and personality?The emergence of this situation now can basically be said to be impossible to clean up.

Zhang Nai's [-] elite soldiers were originally the only reserve team, and the east, south, and north urgently needed the input of this new force, but now they were deployed on the most unnecessary part of the battlefield in Baiyangdian.

Lujiazhai.

Taigong Lu's hatred from last time can finally be snowed.Although he could not take the lead when the officers and soldiers attacked Shangluo Mountain, he was fighting the key battle.

Zhiting Mountain, capturing this fortress is equivalent to cutting Li Zicheng in two with one knife.If you hit a snake and hit seven inches, Zhiting Mountain is Li Zicheng's seven inches.

Yang Sichang Gao, he had planned a long time ago to storm Baiyangdian, whether it was true or not, he would make it impossible for Liu Zongmin to escape from Baiyangdian, and then send a new force to attack Zhiting Mountain.

Now, the second step of Yang Sichang's plan can be implemented.Because the scouts came to report that the reinforcements from the north only stayed in Zhiting Mountain for half an hour, and they went south to Baiyangdian for support.

"Master Yang is tall, so he expected this to happen." Lu Taigong stroked the sparse white beard on his chin, and said cheerfully, with a toothless mouth, "The time for revenge has come."

Lujiazhai is really ready to fight to the death this time, not to mention the humiliation last time, Yang Sichang has already transferred all the officers of Lujiazhai who are serving outside the Lujiazhai to Lujiazhai, and strictly ordered them to lead the soldiers of Lujiazhai to attack Zhiting Mountain.If it succeeds, it goes without saying that Lujiazhai is prosperous and prosperous, but if it fails, the charges of collaborating with bandits and capital bandits are not light.

"Attack!"

Lu Taigong yelled out the most heroic words in his life.The voice was hoarse with excitement.He suspected that the voice didn't come out of his throat, only he could hear it.He wanted to yell again.However, the [-] soldiers in Lujiazhai set off shouting their own names.

The seventh attack begins.

"Boom", after the sound of "boom", the shield is in front, then the archers, then the ladder, and finally the infantry all over the mountains and plains.

Liu Zongmin sent an order that everyone should lie in ambush behind the city plate, and wait for the enemy's ladder to reach the city wall before jumping up to fight back.This method of warfare requires courage, because the most courageous thing is melee combat.Liu Zongmin didn't have too many troops to consume, he could only believe that all his soldiers were death squads.

The enemies at the pass shouted to rush and kill. When they reached the pass, they were surprised that they didn't see the person guarding the pass.Of course, those who have experienced battles know that their opponents are ferocious, and that they will face brutal hand-to-hand combat.

The sound of the knife cutting into the flesh was terrifying, and soon, this sound would appear.

The ladder hit the wall, and the archers shot blindly and began to ascend the city.

"kill!"

Thousands of people "killed" at the same time, and most of the first people who fell off the ladder were shaken by the sound.

One batch goes down, another batch comes up.Closed, the blood flow gradually became a stream.The blade chopped down a batch, and the archer shot another batch to death. Slowly, the pile became a hill.

The seventh counterattack was good. The enemy lost hundreds of people, but Liu Zongmin's losses were very limited. This is called fighting desperately.The harder you work, the harder it is to lose your life.

Desperation is one reason, and the addition of Zhang Nai's new force is also a reason.This time the victory came the easiest.

However, the consequences of victory were disastrous.

Zhiting Mountain was captured by the enemy.Gu Ying fled back alone and was seriously injured in three places.

Liu Zongmin's department was cut off to the south by the enemy, and he could no longer communicate with the headquarters.He became alone, and it was only a matter of time before he was wiped out.

Liu Zongmin's face changed when he got the military report. After a while he asked, "Zhang Nai, who sent you here? You should be the reserve team on the Eastern Front."

Only now did he really have time to think about it.

"Li Laiheng asked me to come here. He said that Zhiting Mountain is our foundation." Zhang Nai said.

Liu Zongmin was silent.

It is difficult for people to admit their mistakes, and the battle here is very tight, he must have reinforcements, this is a fact, so the loss of Zhiting Mountain is not his fault.The fault is the headquarters, the headquarters should give him more reinforcements.

However, it is too late to blame anyone, the key is how to deal with the current situation.

"Fight to the north! Take back Zhiting Mountain!"

Liu Zongmin roared.

Zhang Nai became his vanguard again.

Li Laiheng listened to the military newspaper in pain.

"I'm afraid that Mr. Liu, the chief whistle, will act rashly and make more mistakes to fight back!" Tian Jianxiu said.

"That is inevitable. He will not be passive and wait for help. He will definitely use Zhang Nai's 1000 people to fight back." Li Laiheng replied painfully.

"Isn't that the end?"

"Hold the third line of defense. Retake Zhiting Mountain after seven days."

seven days?Seven days, how long is it, let alone Liu Zongmin, there is no one alive, even Laoying, or even the entire Shangluo Mountain, there are still living people?Tian Jianxiu took a sad look at the naive and naive Li Laiheng, and thought, young people, they haven't thought about death yet, they only have a bright future in their minds.

Tian Jianxiu knew that the situation was over, since he was powerless, he would fight to the death with the rebel army.

"Laiheng, let me go to the front. I can't do anything about this kind of battle. My mind is in a mess. You should do it." Tian Jianxiu paused, a little ashamed, "I'm sorry, I didn't run away, maybe , I am more suitable for the battlefield."

Let those who think they still have hope of living continue to arrange their way of life.He decided to return all the command of the battlefield to Li Laiheng.He gave up.

A patriarchal figure despairs.

Tian Jianxiu thought of becoming a monk.

Li Laiheng didn't have too many expressions, and Tian Jianxiu's expression was very natural. This kind of battle is theoretically impossible to fight, so after Tian Jianxiu finished speaking, Li Laiheng said: "Uncle Xiu, I am not so disappointed Yes. Just get over it. Please don’t leave the Chinese army, you have a rest, I still need your help.”
