Chapter 988

This kind of thankless work would never have been done by arip if he had been replaced. As a politician, he pays more attention to the overall situation and how much return he can get after paying. For example, doing more is useless. But up to now, they have not benefited at all from the battle of the first city. On the contrary, the original 50000 siege infantry have almost lost their strength. Even if they can't attack the city, they have to give an explanation.

"Then, destroy it." arip made the decision in difficulty, and then arranged for someone to do it. Just before he ordered, another new information was sent to him, which surprised arip, who didn't change his color before Mount Tai collapsed. He finally didn't dare to think about other things and decided to leave immediately.

Once again, he came to the Yexian master's account. Arip said anxiously, "Lord leader, the prime minister has just received the news that a main cavalry of the five-star army has entered our territory. Now it is burning, killing and looting, which once threatened the king's safety, so I have been ordered to rush back."

The sudden changes were also caught off guard. At first he thought he was afraid. He wanted to leave first and let him go to the rear. But then he sent the same message to Yi Li's eye liner. He knew it was not a holiday.

Ali usually knows first, but he just goes through a procedure. He doesn't care whether the other party will agree to his move. This time he must leave. So after meeting him first, he turned away and arranged for the retreat of the army.

As for other things, of course, he didn't pay attention. Even in order to hurry back, he threw some shield cars and ladders under the city. For arip, less than 5000 of the remaining 50000 infantry have been basically destroyed, so there is no need to take these things away.

When arip came, there were 200000 soldiers, and when he left, he took only 125000 people (100000 cavalry, 5000 infantry, and 20000 riding and walking).

In addition to the 45000 infantry destroyed during the siege of Shicheng, he Kegen's headquarters also lost nearly 30000 cavalry. In this war, we did not reap the slightest benefit. If we do not mention it, we can call it a failure.

Arip left soon. He was so worried about the safety of the king and the nest that it took only a day and a half from ordering the retreat to the real retreat. His departure made the warra department he had brought a lonely army.

It was said that there were still about 135000 cavalry in the hands of the isolated army. Among them, when attacking Mobei, 30000 soldiers were killed, 25000 were killed, and tengshu returned from Sanbu to Sichuan city, and 10000 cavalry were destroyed.

First of all, his men were all cavalry, and the nest in Hetao area behind him was not attacked by the northern Ming army, which was more calm than Ali puthe. He has not even forgotten the idea of shelling the food base of Shicheng.

Even if you want to go, you must leave something, otherwise you will lose a lot. At the first order, five thousand cavalry dismounted and became infantry, pushing heavy stone catapults around Shicheng to drive outside the north city. He is about to finish this move under Shicheng's eyelids. He wants to disgust Yang Chendong.

The movement outside the city was updated every half hour and sent to Yang Chendong. When he heard that arip had led Yili's army to retreat and first stayed stubbornly to fight his own grain field, he had an impulse to send troops immediately.

Speaking of it, after a month and eight days of defensive warfare, groups of veterans who had experienced the war were recruited to the new second army. Today, the new second army has basically taken shape with the efforts and preparations of the commander's farewell. There are nearly 33000 people under the first, second, third and infantry divisions.

In addition, the main force of the new army is nearly 20000, as well as the first division of the world cavalry and Tatar division outside the north city. Now he has more than 60000 soldiers available. If we launch a counter attack with all our strength, we are sure of winning.

But I can only say I'm sure. The odds are not very good. The cavalry he had brought with him were the elite divisions who had followed him for many years. The remaining 135000 people were twice their own strength. They were not fully prepared to attack rashly, which was probably the result of losing both sides.

Either don't fight or win if you want to fight. This is Yang Chendong's thought. As for the need for time to prepare, it is also necessary to sacrifice more than 300000 mu of grain fields outside Beicheng. Compared with these extraneous things, Yang Chendong pays more attention to the lives of soldiers.

"Come on, send a report to Mr. Xin Honghai of Mobei city immediately, and let him take all the cavalry he can and rush to the direction of Shicheng. This time, I will hit the warla army hard and let them know how stupid it is to choose our five-star army as an opponent."

Yang Chendong's eyes flashed with a strong sense of war. He wanted to establish the myth that Shicheng was invincible through this war. He wanted to thoroughly solve the security problem of Shicheng through this war and dispel the idea of others playing this city.

When the telegram was sent out, Mr. Xin Honghai in Mobei City, while mobilizing his cavalry, informed the leaders of some big tribes near Mobei city that it was time to fight with the wind and wanted to follow those who wanted to take advantage of it.

When dealing with tuotuobuhua in the last war, he successfully created the first division of elite cavalry in the world. At the same time, a small Mobei tribe with weak power was given a devastating blow. Now there are few separate tribes left near Mobei city.

At ordinary times, everyone is in peace. Mr. Xin Honghai respects his identity very much. What happens is discussed with everyone, which makes him have a good popularity here. This time, he took the initiative to stand up and said that he could give you credit and benefits. You can take them together. Where would someone not respond.

At that moment, under the auspices of Xin Honghai, more than 6000 people and horses were gathered together. Together with the Mobei division, there were 20000 cavalry. At noon the next day after receiving the news, they raised their troops and rushed straight to Shicheng. At the moment, he didn't know this at first. He just arranged people to keep an eye on the outside of Dalu city. His concern was only the 200000 reinforcements of the northern Ming army. As long as these people didn't come out, he could still dominate near Shicheng and do whatever he wanted.

The first thing to do now is to bombard hundreds of thousands of mu of grain fields. Although he didn't have much gunpowder in his hand, the scope of bombing was limited, and even one tenth of these grain fields could not be destroyed, he stubbornly did so. In his opinion, this is his knife cutting at his demons.

Since he was defeated in the battle of Beiming capital six years ago, Yang Chendong has become a lingering shadow in his heart. Now he finally has a chance to be ashamed of his blood. How could he let go. Moreover, he surrounded Shicheng for more than a month. Facts have also proved that Zhongdan is not omnipotent and invincible. As long as he finds the right way, he can make the other party honest.

Even in this battle, he once thought that if Shicheng was not too strong, he might be able to defeat Yang Chendong this time.

Under this thought, he didn't leave immediately, but had to wait for shelling the grain field and let Yang Chendong know what helplessness is before leaving. He really didn't know that he was standing on the edge of the cliff.

There is a distance of thousands of miles between Shicheng and Mobei city. With 20000 cavalry, Xin Honghai traveled day and night. In less than three days, he arrived at Yidu City, north of Shicheng, where he met with the world's first cavalry division and Tatar division.

They were only given a night's rest. The next morning, nearly 40000 cavalry sent their troops to the warra station in the direction of Shicheng. And at this moment, I was still busy shelling Liangtian first? All the catapults were erected yesterday and officially started early this morning. At this moment, there was a crazy light in his eyes. He wanted to tell the world that he was not afraid of Yang Chendong, even stronger than Yang Chendong.

At the same time, that is, in the morning of that day, the 100mm mortars belonging to the six regiments of the logistics division in Shicheng were being debugged on the central square in the city, which attracted the onlookers and curiosity of countless people.

This is the first time many people have seen this pure iron guy show up in front of them. For them, the red cannon of the northern Ming army is already very advanced, not to mention the artillery that can hit targets more than ten miles away.

The 100 mm mortars belonging to the six regiment battalion are placed in the square. The surrounding stations are all soldiers sent by the logistics division to maintain public security. In the distance, there are people. They want to see how this thing emits flames and kills the enemy.

As one of Yang Chendong's servants, Yang Si once studied professionally and systematically with Yang Chendong. He can be said to be an artillery "expert". This time, the shooting was naturally handed over to him.

The ruler was finalized. After the scouts had accurately marked the coordinates of the Wara cavalry camp, this time they aimed at the other party's main camp. Once the artillery fire was opened, it also marked the beginning of the counterattack across the line.

9 a.m. At this moment, the sky was overcast again, indicating that a heavy rain was coming.

Yang Chendong sat in a corridor in a courtyard of Yang Fu. He looked up at the sky and sighed gently: "this is a big to explosive rain. Maybe this heavy rain can wash away the coldness and cruelty of the war."
