Chapter 275

Back yesterday, when Qin Huan fought with sun chuanting in Nanzhao, Cao Bianjiao and Lu Xiangsheng in Tongbai County also fought a war.

In the face of sun chuanting's 100000 troops divided into three routes, Cao Bianjiao finally chose to rescue Tongbai County. First, the terrain around the county is open and not afraid of being ambushed. Second, he wanted to test the virtual potential of the siege forces.

Because as long as the actual situation of the siege troops is determined, the actual situation of the other two Ming armies can be easily distinguished.

Once we understand the reality of the third route Ming army, we can break it one by one.

In fact, he wanted to pursue the Ming army that attacked Xinye secretly. After all, the Ming army was the most threatening. How can he catch up directly? It took too long to cross a mountainous area with complex terrain and bypass Biyang in the north. The other party's camp was also very well defended, so he had to attack the city all the way.

According to common sense, the best soldiers must attack, followed by the siege troops, and the mob will stay in the camp.

However, Lu Xiangsheng didn't play cards as usual this time. He sent 30000 mobs to attack Xinye. His purpose was not only to confuse Cao Bianjiao, but also to let Qin Huan take away the cavalry and go south to relieve sun chuanting's pressure.

Twenty thousand recruits are stationed in the camp. It is thirty thousand real elite border troops who go to attack Tongbai County, plus twenty thousand soldiers.

Cao Bianjiao had already made it clear to Lu Xiangsheng that there were 50000 soldiers, 30000 elite border troops and 20000 recruits who had just been recruited.

So when I came to Tongbai city to make a test, I immediately found that the siege was just a mob. I mistakenly thought that the 50000 troops were the 50000 soldiers, and 30000 border troops went to sneak attack.

Naturally, the result was to take the opportunity to kill the 50000 mobs and then intercept the 30000 border troops.

At the beginning, five thousand cavalry did kill thousands of Ming troops under the city.

Who promised that all those who wanted to kill were 20000 mobs, but 30000 elite border troops took the opportunity to detour from the other two sides, because 50000 troops were also surrounded by three and lack one.

When Cao Bianjiao found out, the 30000 frontier troops had detoured to the periphery and carried a large number of anti horse stakes.

Cao Bianjiao immediately said that it was not good. He immediately wanted to stand out before the other party was completely surrounded. However, five thousand cavalry had chased and killed all the defeated soldiers, and he couldn't gather at all for a time.

Finally, they had to gather more than 2000 cavalry and rushed out from the gap. The rest of the cavalry were locked in the encirclement. They didn't dare to kill the Ming army any more, but hid in the city.

At the moment, looking at more than 10000 soldiers slaughtered, Lu Xiangsheng was expressionless. He saw that the cavalry of the thief army ran out half, and his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. It was obvious that he did not meet his expectations.

"I didn't expect the cavalry of the thief army to react so fast. Have you found out who the Lord general is?"

"When I returned to the supervisor, I didn't. I still only heard that the commander of the cavalry of the thief army, surnamed Cao, was tall and brave, holding a horse's name!"

Xu Jianghua smiled bitterly. He knew that even he had guessed who the cavalry commander of the other party was, and the supervisor must have guessed it already.

Lu Xiangsheng had indeed guessed, and almost 90% were sure that Cao Bianjiao was the leader of the other party.

At the beginning, Hong Chengchou had written that Cao Bianjiao had died for his country, so even if there was 90%, he could not write as long as there was no conclusive evidence.

After all, there are many burly people in the world, and there are many surnamed Cao. Although there are few people taking Ma Gao, Cao Bianjiao is not alone.

I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid of ten thousand. After all, when he wrote this book, the Cao family had to be copied and chopped. Once he made a mistake, he was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng would die for thousands of years just by trapping Zhongliang, so he didn't dare to gamble in the end. It's unnecessary.

Immediately, the army surrounded the county again, and the 20000 new troops stationed in the camp were transferred to Tongbai County by Lu Xiangsheng!

The next day, he launched a fierce attack on the county. Lu Xiangsheng was also cruel. In order to break the city, he killed more than 2000 cavalry. The remaining 10000 soldiers and 20000 recruits took turns. They didn't stop for a moment. Whoever retreated would kill anyone.

The 30000 border troops were on guard against more than 2000 cavalry who fled.

Cao Bianjiao rode with more than 2000 horses and was extremely anxious in the distance.

"Commander, the city wall of Tongbai County is low. Look at the situation, I'm afraid I can't support it after dark today. What should I do?"

"Why don't you just rush up and tear a hole so that the brothers inside can rush out!"

"It's late. Are you blind? I haven't seen those bastards. They have put up stakes at the gate of the city. "

Lao Tzu as like as two peas, how did we feel that the situation is exactly the same as when we were surrounded by cavalry in Dongchangfu?

As a young captain suddenly scolded, the others stopped arguing and reacted.

Indeed, it is very similar to the original situation. It is also divided into two parts, one is besieged in the city and the other is blocked outside the city.

Thinking of the final outcome of the tartar, everyone looked down, while Cao Bianjiao had long thought of the situation when he was in Dongchang mansion.

So I knew in my heart that more than 2000 brothers in the city were afraid of death and no life, and their forced rescue was nothing more than increasing casualties, which was well proved by Du Du at the beginning.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Ming army can not be compared with their Chinese army, the difference in the number of people is too large.

There are only 500 garrisons in the city, and there are less than 3000 people, including more than 2000 brothers hiding in it, but the other party has a full 60000 army, almost 20 times that.

"Commander, make a decision quickly. Can we just watch the brothers in the city die?"

"Why don't we gather the young people in the nearby town and fight with them?"

"This is nothing more than letting them die in vain. We have broken half of our brothers. We can't break it any more. It's my fault. I'll apologize to the king at that time!"

Cao Bianjiao shook his head and was no longer impulsive. Obviously, he suffered two losses and grew a lot. Knowing this situation, he can only try to keep his cavalry in his hand.

Because Tongbai County was unprepared, the weapons of the gentry, landlords and servants guarding the courtyard in the city were also confiscated. Seeing that all the Chinese troops went to the city to defend, they didn't turn back at this time. When should they wait?

So the servants of all families went out one after another. Together with the captors and yamen officials in the city, they not only arrested the county magistrate and the county magistrate and the concubines and servant girls of the shopkeepers of the bank and commercial firm, but also should have cooperated externally and caught the Chinese Army on the wall unprepared. As a result, it was only at noon that Tongbai County was broken.

Lu Xiangsheng, surrounded by a group of gentry and landlords, entered the city and went directly to the county government office. He looked at the men and women kneeling in the hall and frowned slightly.

"Supervisor, this man's surname is Li. He is the fake magistrate of the county. This * * is the fake county magistrate. The county Lieutenant has just died in the city..."

Where did the gentry and landlords still look like they were being humble on weekdays? While introducing the kneeling people in the hall, an old man told about the tragedy of the past two months.
