Chapter 1977

Chen Lihua didn't want to rush out to fight because he didn't find out the situation of the Zhen army. However, the next day, the Zhen army took the initiative to challenge.

The number of troops of the Zhen army is not large, only about 2000 people. But the chief general who leads the army has a lot of advantages. It is Raymond who is known as the "two fierce" in the rebel army.

Raymond is not only highly skilled and powerful, but also has boundless strength. In the battle between the two armies, there are 10000 people who are invincible.

It is said that the Zhen army has only 2000 people to challenge. Naturally, the Sichuan army will not be afraid to fight. A partial General of the 16th army, who first went to battle, was killed in front of the two armies by Raymond and his horses without even passing by.

The second general of the 16th army was the second general of the 16th army. He was a little better than the one in front, but he only lasted for three rounds. He was also selected by Raymond on the horse and followed the example of the one in front.

Next, the Sichuan army sent three generals successively, but the result was still the same. None of them survived and died under Raymond's heavy knife.

Raymond's bravery awed the Sichuan army. The five generals did not even hurt one of the enemy's generals' hair, but he died one after another. This Zhen general was also too powerful.

Chen Lihua no longer sent generals to fight against him. He discussed with the generals how to defeat the enemy in the camp of Sichuan.

Zhongchuan said everything. Some people were afraid of Raymond's force and suggested that they should avoid fighting temporarily until LV you's reinforcements arrived. Others suggested launching an all-round attack to crush the Zhen army with absolute superiority in strength.

In a word, Sichuan generals were divided into two groups, one was fighting and the other was waiting for reinforcements. The two sides were in constant dispute, which made Chen Lihua lose his mind for a while.

Sichuan generals were still debating whether to fight or not in the camp. When Raymond, who was out of the camp, saw that there was no one to fight, he returned to Zhenying. However, he did not stop in Zhenying camp. He led 2000 Zhen soldiers to enter from the North Camp gate, went out from the South Camp gate, passed through the camp, and went to the hinterland of Bainan county.

Around Zhenying camp, there are many Sichuan spies in Haobu. They dare not get too close to Zhenying camp and can't see the inside of Zhenying camp. However, Raymond takes people away from Zhenying camp and goes south. They can see it. The Sichuan spies immediately sent the information back to the camp.

Hearing that Lei Meng, the Zhen general who came to challenge, had already withdrawn from the Zhen army camp and headed south. The generals of Sichuan army headed by Chen Lihua were shocked. What's the matter? Raymond has killed five of his party's generals, and his morale is high. Why did he withdraw suddenly? And it's not to withdraw from the camp, but to cross it.

"General Chen, Zhen Ren's behavior is abnormal. The traitor Raymond is so fierce that he doesn't stay in Zhenying camp. How can he go south?" Gao Peng, commander-in-chief of the 11th regiment, frowned and said.

Yes, Raymond's behavior is really abnormal! Chen Lihua doesn't know what medicine is sold in Zhenjun gourd.

Just as he was pondering, a Sichuan general suddenly exclaimed, "Zhen Ren should not have used the strategy of suspicious soldiers. The main force of the rebels has already withdrawn to the hinterland of Bainan county?"

"How can it be? Zhenying is just opposite our army..." Gao Peng said in a deep voice. Before he finished speaking, Chen Lihua had a flash of light in her head and said, "maybe, it's just an empty camp!"

"Empty camp?" Sichuan generals' faces changed, and their eyes fell on Chen Lihua. The latter stood up and said, "there must be deceit in the treacherous mysteries of the rebels. I will order the whole army to attack the rebel camp immediately."

At Chen Lihua's command, the Sichuan army moved up and down, and the army left the camp one after another, and went straight to the Zhenying camp opposite.

At first, the Sichuan army was still cautious and apprehensive when advancing. However, when the Sichuan army was within 100 steps of Zhenying camp, there was no counterattack in Zhenying camp, and there was no movement.

When the Sichuan army entered Zhenying 50 paces, it was still calm. At this time, the Sichuan army began to change from slow advance to full charge.

The former army was the first to rush into the Zhenying camp. However, after coming in, there was no one in the huge Zhenying camp. There were no people in all the large and small barracks. Everything was already as bright as before. It can be said that there are only empty barracks left in Zhenying camp.

Chen Lihua and a group of Sichuan generals saw this situation and stomped their feet in anger. What a cunning rebel army, it was really a suspected soldier's plan! Seeing Chen Lihua's ugly face, Sichuan generals came forward one after another to persuade them: "General Chen, don't be angry. The rebels escape by means of suspected soldiers, which shows that the rebels are also very aware that their strength is not as good as our army. Besides, the monks who can run can not run away from the temple. Gongcheng is not far away from here. Our army should take this opportunity to take Gongcheng at one fell swoop and make a gap in Bainan county first!"

"That's the only way." Chen Lihua nodded and said, "General Yu!"

"In the end! What can I do for you, general? " A burly Sichuan general stepped forward and intervened to salute.

Chen Lihua said: "General Yu immediately took two regiments to attack Gongcheng. Gongcheng is just a small town with a lot of soldiers. It should be easy to take Gongcheng. Presumably, the main force of the rebels has fled to the south, and all the generals are chasing after them with all their strength! "

"I will obey you." All the generals of Zhongchuan should have stepped in together, and then launched separate operations.

Chen Lihua led the main force of the Sichuan army to pursue the south, and the Sichuan general surnamed Yu led two regiments to attack Gongcheng.According to Chen Lihua's inference, the main forces of the rebels have fled, and the huge camp is no longer needed. Gongcheng, which is close at hand, must be an empty city. Even if there will be a rebel garrison, there will not be too many troops.

His inference was correct. The Zhen army had only a thousand soldiers left in Gongcheng, but they were all elite soldiers in the Zhen army. They also caused a lot of trouble to the Sichuan army who came to attack.

The general of Sichuan, surnamed Yu, thought that he could take Gongcheng as soon as he passed by. As a result, the Sichuan army, which had only more than 1000 garrisons, failed to take down Gongcheng after two fierce attacks. On the contrary, he defeated many soldiers at a loss.

Seeing this, the general of Sichuan, surnamed Yu, was also flustered. He did not know how many rebels were stationed in this small Gongcheng. He quickly sent a report to Chen Lihua, who went to pursue the enemy, and asked him to dispatch troops to reinforce Gongcheng.

After receiving the report, Chen Lihua had no choice but to assign another regiment to carry large-scale siege equipment to assist the siege army on the other side of Gongcheng.

With the help of this regiment, together with a lot of large-scale siege equipment, the Sichuan army finally broke the city defense of Gongcheng.

After Gongcheng was destroyed, the remaining Zhen army did not fight the Sichuan army to the end. The soldiers and soldiers threw away their weapons, took off their armor and uniforms, and fled into the city and mingled with the common people.

The rebels are virtuous, and the people in the city are also virtuous. It is more difficult for the Sichuan army to pick out the rebels from the people.

If other countries encounter such a situation, the general will have to order the city to be slaughtered without saying a word. But the Sichuan army will not do so. The Sichuan army, which has always boasted of civilization and nobility, has never despised such bloody means.

After the occupation of Gongcheng, the general named Yu only ordered to put up notices. One was to pacify the people and the other was to offer a reward. As long as the people were willing to report the rebel's hiding place, the Sichuan army would give them a heavy reward.

Under the heavy reward, there may not be a brave man, so is the true man. Helping the rebels hide and avoid the pursuit of the Sichuan army is voluntary. Even if the Sichuan military offered a high reward, no one would betray the rebels.

The Zhen people refused to betray the rebels, but the Sichuan army didn't care too much. After all, there were only a few hundred rebels who escaped, which was not a worry. After that, Yu will send Chen Lihua a good report and ask him if he can join him.

Chen Lihua wrote back quickly, so that he led three regiments to stay in Gongcheng. It can be said that Gongcheng is the gateway of Bainan county. As long as Gongcheng is occupied, the main force of Sichuan army can run rampant in the territory of Bainan county without any worries. The safety of Gongcheng is guaranteed, which is equivalent to the logistics supply line of the main force of Sichuan army.

So far, Chen Lihua has made a series of decisions that are not wrong, even the most correct choice. But soon, he made a fatal mistake.

Bainan county is the largest county among the three counties in Zhenxi county. The Sichuan army went deep and fast, but its forces were also dispersed rapidly. Along the way, the Sichuan army had to garrison the towns it had captured, with a group in the East and a wave in the West. When the Sichuan army went deep into Baiyang County, the western part of the county, only 100000 soldiers were left.

It can be reckoned that the Sichuan army has not experienced a large-scale battle since it entered Bainan county. However, the main combat force has been reduced by more than half. Moreover, it is not because of casualties, but because of its own division.

This is a habit of the Sichuan army in fighting. The Sichuan army has always attached great importance to occupying and consolidating one area. To consolidate a place, it is necessary to garrison troops. Chen Lihua was the orthodox General of the Sichuan army, and the decision he made at this time was also the habit of the Sichuan army.

At this time, Chen Lihua's shortcomings of being regular and inflexible were reflected. The principle and strategy of seizing and consolidating one place can not be said to be wrong, but it needs to depend on the situation. At present, this is the biggest failure of Sichuan army after entering Bainan county.

Of course, Chen Lihua has a solid foundation for doing so. Even though the main combat force of Sichuan army is only 100000, it still has an absolute military advantage over the rebels.

In addition, he and the generals below also had a miscalculation. When the Sichuan army attacked and occupied the towns, they met with the tenacious resistance of the garrison rebels, which showed that the rebels were also stationed in the whole territory of Bainan county. If our side captured so many towns all the way, there must be not a few rebels destroyed. Judging from the fact that the rebels have 80000 troops, the present rebel forces are at best About 50000.

100000 vs. 50000, almost three times that of the enemy. There is no suspense about winning.

Since the main force of the Sichuan army successfully pushed into Baiyang County, the officers and men of the Sichuan army have become more relaxed. According to the speed of the progress along the way, several sides can capture the whole territory of Baiyang County in half a month and wipe out the rebels. By then, the additional reinforcements sent by the imperial court are still on the way, and all the credit for annihilating the rebels will be on their heads.

Gao Peng, the commander of the 11th regiment, Feng Yu, the commander of the 16th regiment, and Chai song, the commander of the 17th regiment, have come to see Chen Lihua one after another. They quickly draw the head of the rebel leader Li Shu and post them everywhere to prevent Li Shu from escaping.
