The central army stationed in Bailin was ambushed by four regiments of the plain army led by Jiang Fan. In this war, the Mozambican army was defeated, with 80000 people and more than half of the losses. The remaining soldiers also fled and scattered. Finally, only two generals and more than 800 Mozambican soldiers remained with Lu Hongming.
At the end of the war, Lu Hongming seemed to be more than ten years old. He hurriedly fled back to Bailin with hundreds of defeated soldiers. At Bailin, he didn't stop for a moment. Although there were 20000 Mozambican troops here, it was quite different from the number of wind troops. He felt that once the wind troops attacked, it would be difficult for him to stick to it. Instead of waiting to die, he might as well take the initiative to evacuate.
After returning to Bailin, Lu Hongming ordered the whole army to pack up their armaments and food and grass. Then he led the army out of the city, abandoned the city and fled, and went south to join the Huben army.
After hearing the news that Lu Hongchuan's troops were about to attack, they pretended that Lu Hongchuan was about to be attacked. As expected, they were ready to lead Lu Hongchuan into the water. As expected, the purpose of their ambush was to lead Lu Hongchuan into the water. Fortunately, I was on guard, and there was no evil act of the stroke army.
However, Lu Hongming's withdrawal means that the border defense of Mozambique has been torn open. The wind army can go south through Bailin and enter the hinterland of Mozambique. Now Li Rong has only two choices left, either stick to Yangchuan, or follow Lu Hongming, abandon the city to the south, join the Huben army and fight back.
After careful consideration, Li Rong finally decided to stay in Yangchuan. Even if Feng Jun broke through his own defense line and could break into the hinterland of Mozambique, he should make the rear of Feng Jun not quiet, at least disrupt the logistics of Feng Jun and create favorable conditions for the operation of Huben army as much as possible.
Li Rong's strategic thinking is very correct, but he underestimated the determination of Fengguo to fight with Mozambique this time. The Fengjun army entering Mozambique is far more than the plain army, followed by the Fengguo flying dragon army led by Zuo Shuang.
Jiang Fan successfully ambushed the Bailin army, * its main general Lu Hongming abandoned the city and fled. Xiao MuQing was shocked by the news. He immediately sent a letter to Jiang Fan one to occupy Bailin and let his side have a stable stronghold first. As for Yangchuan, Li Rong was not fooled, and Xiao MuQing did not intend to attack. He called back Wu Guang, who was ambushed between Yangchuan and the water, and then worked together to attack the water.
Under the continuous attack of the plain army's riprap machine and broken city crossbow, the urban defense of Shuishui town has long been scarred. Many sections of the city wall are full of holes and crumbling. Now tens of thousands of plain army have launched a strong attack, and the defenders in the city are unable to support.
The wind army pushed a large number of rush cars onto the battlefield and rushed to the place where the city wall was seriously damaged. Not long after the two sides fought, a section of the city wall of Shuishui town was forcibly knocked down by rush cars, opening a large gap three or four meters wide.
The wind troops outside the city moved away and rushed into the city along the gap. With the city wall as a barrier, the local army in the water can barely withstand the wind army. Now the wind army has entered the city, how can the local army resist it?
The generals of the Mozambican army also wanted to organize manpower to block the gap, but the Mozambican army was chopped to the ground by the stormy army before it approached. Wu Guang took the lead in the front and waved the spirit knife. Is the spirit chaotic? The wind released continuously, and the pieces of Mo army that fell down in front of him scattered the broken limbs and arms of the spirit blade all over the ground.
Seeing that Wu Guangyong was fierce, a general of Mo Army wanted to stop him. As a result, he didn't survive three rounds in front of Wu Guang, so he was cut in two by Wu Guang.
The combat effectiveness of the local army was not strong. At this time, it met the fierce plain army and collapsed in an instant. A large number of local troops had no fighting spirit. The killed cried for their parents and ran to the city. The plain army led by Wu Guang then pursued and killed, and the siege evolved into street warfare.
In front of the plain army, 50000 local troops can be said to have no power to fight back. As soon as the north city was broken, the garrison ran into the city. When the plain army chased the city, the local army had fled to the south city. When the plain army chased the South City, the local army had abandoned the city and fled outside the city.
After the battle, many plain soldiers didn't even see the face of the enemy. They felt that the enemy had been facing themselves with the back of his head, which made people cry and laugh.
Although Hu Xian is not an excellent general and is very timid and afraid of death, he did not dare to run south after breaking the city. Instead, he fled to Yangchuan and joined Li Rong.
In his opinion, it is possible to escape to Yangchuan and recapture the water. He also has the opportunity to make up for his mistakes. If he escapes to the south, there will be no hope at all. Even if he can escape the pursuit of the wind army, I'm afraid he can't escape the heavy punishment of the king.
Hu Xian fled to Yangchuan with more than 30000 remnants of the local army and joined Li Rong. Xiao MuQing did not pursue and kill, nor did he lead troops to attack Yangchuan. Instead, he chose to continue to go south and go deep into the hinterland of Mozambique. At the same time, he transmitted the good news of the plain army's entry into the water and 100 Lin2 places of Mozambique back to China.
The plain army was not stationed in Shuishui and continued to go south into the hinterland of Mozambique, which made Li Rong see the opportunity. If he could seize the opportunity to take back Shuishui and Bailin, it would be tantamount to locking the plain army in the territory of Mozambique. At that time, he would have to be slaughtered by his own side.
But on second thought, he felt something was wrong. Xiao MuQing, commander-in-chief of the plain army, was not a stupid commander. Didn't he understand that abandoning defending the water and Bailin would leave a gap for his opponent to cut off his back? Is there fraud?
Li rongben is a suspicious person by nature. In addition, he has a lesson from the past. Although he is aware of the emergence of fighters, he is afraid to send troops for a long time.
On the other hand, Feng Jun was also very puzzled by Xiao MuQing's decision. Although it didn't take much effort to win the water and Bailin, you can't just leave thousands of brothers to garrison? After all, Yangchuan has not been captured by our own side. What if the Mo army of Yangchuan takes this opportunity to attack on a large scale? It's small to go into the water and lose a hundred times, but it's big for our 100000 troops to be trapped.
Wu Guang and Jiang Fan also didn't understand Xiao MuQing's idea. When they went south with the army, they also asked Xiao MuQing about it. The latter smiled leisurely and confidently and said: "although I don't know much about Yangchuan leader Li Rong, through the battle of launching, we can see that this person is cautious and suspicious. Even if our army doesn't stay in the water and Bailin, he doesn't dare to commit lightly."
After listening to his words, Wu Guang and Jiang Fan secretly inhaled. The former frowned and asked, "if Li Rong sends troops to attack, won't our army be attacked from both sides and fall into a desperate situation?"
Xiao MuQing shook his head confidently and vowed, "he will never."
"But what if?"
Xiao MuQing's eyes twinkled with a faint light and sighed: "if Li Rong is so stupid as to send troops to attack the water or Bailin, our army will have no worries about the future."
What's that called? Bullshit? Wu Guang and Jiang fan are a little silly when they hear the speech. They don't understand what Xiao MuQing is thinking in the end. They even doubt whether his head is broken. Launching and Bailin are their own retreat, and only thousands of people are stationed. How can Li Rongruo attack, but their own side has no worries about the future?
Even generals like Wu Guang and Jiang Fan couldn't understand Xiao MuQing's idea, and Mo Jun led by Li Rong couldn't see it through.
Li Rong can calm down and turn a blind eye to the water and Bailin that are close at hand and almost become an empty city. He just refuses to send troops, but Hu Xian who escaped can't wait. The wind army didn't stay in the water and passed through the city directly. What a rare opportunity. When will he wait until he takes this opportunity to recapture the water?
Hearing the news that the Fengjun army was going south, Hu Xianli immediately went to Li Rong and asked him to send troops to recapture the water. Li Rong's head shook like a rattle and repeatedly said, "it's wrong, it's wrong! The wind army looks strange. I'm afraid there's fraud in it!"
Hu Xian was so anxious that he poked his hands again and again and said in a hurry: "General Li, the spies have clearly detected that the wind army is indeed the main force going south, and there are less than 3000 defenders left in the water. General Li, as long as we send troops to recapture the water town and trap the wind army in China, it's as easy as a back hand..."
Before he finished, Li Rong raised his eyebrows and asked, "did General Hu forget general Lu's lesson?"
"This..."
"If you hadn't said you were in a hurry and sent people to urge for help, how could general Lu have been ambushed by the army? Now you're urging the army again, you wouldn't have answered you!" Li Rong said firmly.
Hu Xian's face turned red when Li Rong said it. He hesitated for a long time before stammering: "but... But now the situation is different from that time..."
"From the general's point of view, there is no difference. Feng Jun's actions are unexpected and abnormal. If there is no fraud, it can only show that the commander of Feng Jun is a fool who doesn't know the soldiers! Can you believe that the commander of Pingyuan army doesn't know the soldiers? Is he a fool?"
Under Li Rong's repeated questioning, Hu Xian was speechless and had no words.
In fact, the reason why Xiao MuQing dared to leave his rear to Mo Jun was very simple. He relied on it. His reliance is 150000 flying dragon armies.
As the support of the plain army, the flying dragon army will also go to Mozambique in a short time. The Yangchuan left by the plain army is the primary target of the flying dragon army after entering Mozambique.
If Li Rong sticks to Yangchuan, it is not easy for the flying dragon army to forcibly break the city. If Li Rong divides his troops to occupy ShuiHe and Bailin, and the troops cannot be concentrated, then the flying dragon army can easily break them one by one. Because of this, Xiao MuQing asserts that if Li Rongzhen sends troops to attack ShuiHe and Bailin, it is tantamount to looking for his own death, and the plain army will have no worries about it.
It can be said that Xiao MuQing, as the commander-in-chief of the army, has long had an insight into the war situation, and his own actions and the actions of the enemy are in his calculations.
He was anxious to go south, not to lead Li Rong to divide his troops, but to worry about the build-up of the Mozambican army.
As the saying goes, speed is important. If the plain army wants to make brilliant achievements in Mozambique, it must annihilate them one by one before a large number of Mozambican troops gather. Once the military strength of Mozambican is formed, it is not easy for the plain army to defeat the enemy and win. Moreover, he is still thinking about the tiger Ben army of Mozambican.
