Chapter 654 The thief general besieged the city
"My father, I don't accept any reports at night. Wuweibo's army is stationed in the south of the city. Is it a bit inappropriate for us to attack the city like this?" Zuo Menggeng stepped forward and asked softly in Zuo Liangyu's ear.
"How many people are Li Lao Er?" Zuo Liangyu was shocked and asked hurriedly when he heard that his opponent was stationed in the south of the city.
Zuo Menggeng replied: "The navy is about 10,000 people, while the land is less than 20,000 people, and about 30,000 people."
"Bah!" Zuo Liangyu spat, "I thought he had more than 100,000 troops! But only 30,000 people, and the navy! If Li Lao Er dares to disturb me, I will destroy him! This dog thief has repeatedly opposed me! Don't think I don't know that my military rations were robbed and tobacco was robbed! He dares to kill my people? My more than 300,000 troops drowned him with spit!"
Li Guoying said: "The general needs news. This thief defeated Jiannu repeatedly and has a very strong combat power. It must not be underestimated!"
Zuo Liangyu sneered: "Tell me my order to order the surrendered soldiers and refugees to continue to attack the city! Our elite veterans lined up behind us. If Li Lao Er dared to come, come on and kill them!"
Under the city, the cannon fodder in front of the left army had already rushed to the edge of the moat, and simple moat bridges were built on the moat, and the refugees shouted and rushed across the moat. Arrows on the top of the city were pouring down like rain, and countless refugees screamed and fell into the moat.
The refugees in front fell down, and the ones behind continued to rush forward desperately. Because the left army was basically the same as the bandits in war, conquering a place, burning, killing, looting, and harming the people. These refugees could not even afford to eat. After joining the Left Army, although they were cannon fodder, once they conquered a city, Zuo Liangyu would let them snatch it.
"Get money, rob food, rob women!" The crazy refugees stared at their blood-red eyes and rushed towards the city wall one after another. In their eyes, there were mountains of gold and silver in Anqing City in front waiting for them to grab it, with endless food and countless women. These refugees usually can't afford to eat, so where can they still have money to marry?
Thanks to Huang Futai for not being too jealous this time, he dared to close the city gate to General Zuo's royal army! If this were not the case, Zuo Liangyu would not dare to let his soldiers let go of their hands and feet to rob.
Groups of refugees rushed to the city of Anqing, and rolled wooden stones were smashed on the top of the city, and lime bottles and turbulent oil tanks were left. Only a heart-wrenching scream was heard under the city, and countless refugees fell down. But the refugees behind rushed up desperately, and simple ladders made of bamboo were raised by people, and groups of refugees began to climb to the top of the city.
The Anlu Fubiao Camp at the top of the city and the Baijun archers and civilians in Anqing City fought to the death. All kinds of weapons to defend the city fell like raindrops, and the refugees who were climbing the cloud ladder rolled down like dumplings. From time to time, the cloud ladder broke or was pushed away.
"Chala" ladders were knocked away by the defenders on the city wall, and the refugees on the ladders fell into the moat.
"Kill!" The refugees behind rushed up again, and simple bamboo ladders were raised again, and more refugees climbed up to the top of the city.
"Wu Weibo, where are you?" Huang Peixuan was so anxious that he was almost falling from tears.
"Futai! Futai! Wuweibo's army is dispatched!" Just when Huang Peixuan was extremely anxious, someone came to report.
"That's great!" Huang Peixuan shouted excitedly, "Dear soldiers, kill the thief hard for me! Don't let a thief climb up the top of the city!"
Li Guodong's army had already moved, three thousand heavy cavalry, three thousand five hundred light cavalry, five hundred nights without being taken over, five hundred iron armored swords, one thousand swords, one thousand swords, one thousand spearmen, ten thousand musket soldiers and one thousand artillery soldiers rushed out of the camp, with a total of 20,000 troops and horses killing Zuo Liangyu's thief army.
The Jinyang Army originally had only 17,000 people, but another fleet arrived today, transporting 3,000 infantry and 1,000 artillery soldiers, so Li Guodong had 21,000 land divisions in his hands.
With 20,000 people in hand, Li Guodong was not afraid of Zuo Liangyu's more than 300,000 mobs.
"Master!Master! No! Li Laoer's soldiers are moving! There are at least 20,000 people!" Lu Guangzu hurriedly rode his horse and rushed to report.
"Bah! Useless things!" Zuo Liangyu cursed, "It's just 20,000 people, you'll scare you like this! We have an army of 300,000, so why are you afraid of these 20,000 people? Let's take a look!"
When Zuo Liangyu led his 80,000 veterans to the west of the city and met the Jinyang army, Zuo Liangyu realized that the 20,000 people were difficult to deal with.
On the empty ground west of Anqing City, more than 14,000 Jinyang infantry were arranged in neat formations, forming a neatly tidy team, with dazzling silver light flashing in front. The three thousand infantry in front were all full of iron armored soldiers, silver-white iron armor, silver-white six-petaled steep red tassel helmets, and bright red skin. The sunlight shines on the armor, flashing dazzling light. These iron armored soldiers even have mask protection on their faces, which can be said to be invulnerable to swords and guns.
Let’s look at the back of the three thousand iron armored soldiers, rows of musket soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, red armor, and black six-petal steed red tassel helmets, looking at least 10,000. Behind the team of musket soldiers, there were more than a thousand firearm soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, leather armor, and black six-petal steed red tassel helmets. They carried firearms such as cannons, turtledove-legged guns and Folang machines.
Zuo Liangyu said in his heart: It seems that these 20,000 people are not easy to deal with.
Li Guoying said: "Wow, Wu Weibo's army is so well-equipped! It's just that there are too few people! If we can kill them, these armor and weapons will be ours!"
"Arrange the array and do not attack easily!" Zuo Liangyu, who felt it was difficult to deal with, gave an order. If the elite troops like Henan Shang took the initiative to attack, it would be thankless. If the left army set up a defensive formation and let the Jinyang army attack, the left army could still match it.
The left army arranged in formations and was ready to attack the Jinyang army.
But the Jinyang army did not rush up, but rushed out of a cavalry and rushed towards Zuo Liangyu's army.
"Don't shoot arrows! Listen to what this guy is going to say!" Zuo Liangyu stopped Zuo Menggeng, who was taking down the bow and arrow and preparing to shoot arrows.
The cavalry rushed to a distance of one arrow from the Left Army and stopped, and opened his voice and asked, "Zuo Liangyu, why do you want to rebel?"
"Bah! Who said I rebelled? On the contrary, you, you and I are both officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but we met each other in war. I think it is you, Li Laoer, who is going to rebel?" Zuo Liangyu replied cursingly.
"Since you don't rebel, why do you want to send troops to attack Anqing?"
"I took my brothers to fight bloody battles with the bandits, killing them, and expelling them to ensure safety. Now that the food and grass have been exhausted, I came to replenish the food and grass. But the dog official in the city actually closed the city gate and did not give me a grain of food and my brothers! Tell me, what's wrong with me and my brothers taking it into the city with my soldiers? "
"The court has an order that the guest army must station outside the city. They must not ask for food and pay on the day they arrive. The next day, the city will naturally provide food and food. Why did General Zuo disobey the imperial court's laws?"
"Wang Fa? Bah! The brothers are already hungry and tired. If they are hungry for another day, someone will probably starve to death! Go back and tell you Li Lao Er, and tell him not to meddle in other people's business with rats! I'm determined to enter Anqing City! Let him know more and get back quickly!"
That night, the cavalry did not withdraw and ran back to Li Guodong's central army, and told Li Guodong what Zuo Liangyu said.
"Zuo Liangyu is so arrogant and domineering that he actually led his troops to attack the city! It's time for us to teach them a lesson!" Li Guodong sneered.
Han Dashan asked, "Brother, do you really want to charge Zuo Liangyu for rebellion?"
