Chapter 364 The battle was successful
In Bailiu Village, Ji Qingwan and others had been waiting for many days to meet Zhao Zhen and handed over the key to the misty world of [Uncle Thief].
Zhu Wu, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Liu Huiniang joined the army together with the three sisters Ji Minghan, Ji Minglian, and Black Ant. Zhao Zhen took the key to the foggy world and concentrated. More than 5,000 soldiers Move into the misty world of [Uncle Thief].
When Zhao Zhen opened his eyes, everyone had entered the misty world. They saw beans and grass growing everywhere, a large river nearby, and the navy was in it. There was no human being around. Looking ahead, we see a vast expanse of salt-alkali land.
Bai Sheng led the spies to disperse. The navy, under the command of Ruan Xiaoer and Liu Lin, divided into two groups and explored forward and backward.
Zhao Zhen chose a high ground near the river and set up camp.
After setting up camp, the land and water spies also turned around. Zhao Zhen ordered the drums to be beaten to gather the generals. After a while, the generals of the water, foot and horse armies gathered together and sat down in the big tent.
Bai Sheng spoke first: "Master, the three gangs led by the villain captured a total of more than 20 people. After interrogation, they were the uncle's thieves who dispersed. This group of people has been dead since Liu Ba Dao died. The gatherings and dispersions are unpredictable. In addition to Li Deyi who gathered tens of thousands of Liu Ba Dao's remaining troops and raised the banner of "Uncle's Army", Du Yanbing and Wang Run also gathered people to revolt. Now the two are besieging Pingyuan County, and Li Deyi is gathering troops to plunder the surrounding areas. County."
Zhao Zhen asked: "Can you tell me where Li Deyi is stationed?"
Bai Sheng shook his head: "These are scattered young villagers, only in the periphery. Inquiring about the information, I don’t know where Li Deyi is stationed.”
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Brother Liu Lin and I also captured some fishermen, and there was a small school inside. After interrogation, they also said that Li Deyi was gathering troops and seemed to be attacking Bohai County."
Zhu Wudao: "Brother Ruan Xiaoqi, can you tell me how many people Li Deyi has?"
"More than 20,000 people."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, do you have any ideas?"< br>
Lu Zhishen said: "I don't even know where Li Deyi is, how can we fight this battle?"
Zhu Wudao: "That's right. I'm hiding from the enemy. If I mention the ambush, I can defeat Li Deyi's troops in one battle."
After hearing this, everyone looked much more relaxed.
Zhu Wu then said: "If the news is true, we will first go to the place where Bohai County must pass to ambush. When they are not prepared, we will attack with the horse army, followed by the infantry. We can defeat this group of people in one battle. "
After hearing this, Liu Huiniang said: "I don't think there is any need to be so anxious. Since he wants to attack Bohai County, just let him attack first. If we attack Bohai County later, we can not only defeat him. Uncle, the thief, can still get a city for nothing. If he can't break through Bohai County, he will definitely win the battle when he is newly defeated and his morale is low."
After Zhao Zhen heard this, he thought for a moment and gave the order. He said: "Instructor Lin, the cavalry troops are dispersed, with 50 cavalry in a team. Each of you will lead a team and inspect the surrounding area for ten miles. No one can find out where we are. If you continue to give the order, no fires and breakfasts are allowed in these days. , eat the fried rice and pickles you brought with you. Brother Bai Sheng, please take spies to explore various places. If you can find out the location of Li Deyi's camp and Bohai County, two brothers, Ruan Xiaoqi and Liu Lin, will patrol along the river. A large number of people and horses are gathered together, and water is needed. In my opinion, the camp should be not far from the river bank. The other generals should not make any noise or slack off in commanding the troops. "
Everyone took orders and went their separate ways.
After resting for a day and night, Ruan Xiaoqi came to report early the next morning that he had discovered Li Deyi's station. As Zhao Zhen expected, Ruan Xiaoqi took seven or eight small boats and headed north. Finally, we found the location of Li Deyi's camp. According to this, for more than 40 miles, a new camp was set up at the intersection of Majia River and Dehui River. It was indeed Li Deyi's new camp.
Zhao Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this and asked: "Do you know when the troops will be sent out?"
Ruan Xiaoqi shook his head: "I don't dare to go deep into the camp for fear of disturbing the grass and alarming the snake. Today I pretended to be the uncle gathered together. Thief, come into the camp to explore."
Zhu Wu quickly stopped him: "Brother, I'm afraid you don't look good."
Just as he was talking, Bai Sheng also came in to report: "Officials, I have discovered the location of Bohai County, which is 40 miles southeast from Daying."
Liu Huiniang asked: "Do you know where Li Deyi is? Are there any warships?"
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "From a distance yesterday, they were all small fishing boats."
"That's good. We are stationed here and don't have to worry about Li Deyi. As long as the troops pass by, we can find out when they will send troops. We will be one day behind them, so we can naturally benefit. "Zhao Zhen said: "In this case, we have to trouble Brother Bai Sheng to pretend to be a thief and go to Li Deyi's station to find out. .”
Bai Sheng said: "This is not difficult. I will take two smart sergeants, change their clothes, and naturally blend into the camp."
After the discussion, Ruan Xiaoqi personally drove the boat and sent Bai Sheng and others to Li Deyi At the station, Bai Sheng went ashore far away, pretending to go to the camp to gather the uncle's thieves, and went into the camp to inquire.
Here in Zhao Zhen, the Ma Army patrolled the surrounding areas every day. Pei Xuan ordered people to build several large tents. During the day, they were afraid that the smoke would attract people's attention. At night, they cooked in the tents so that the soldiers did not have to eat cold. Hard fried rice.
After three days of this, Ruan Xiaoqi finally sent back the news that Li Deyi broke out of camp and headed straight for Bohai County, which is more than 70 miles southeast.
Zhao Zhen stayed here for two more days before breaking out of camp and heading to Bohai County.
Ruan Xiaoqi and Liu Lin were left here to lead the navy, and Shi Jin, Yang Chun, and Chen Da led the 200-horse army. The two groups went north along the river to find Li Deyi's old camp.
Zhao Zhen and others were stationed ten miles behind most of Li Deyi, slowly approaching Bohai County.
News came from Bai Sheng every day. They attacked the city for three consecutive days, resulting in more than 3,000 casualties. Even Li Deyi's men could not climb the city wall. The morale of Li Deyi's troops is low, and they will withdraw their troops soon, allowing Zhao Zhen to prepare to send troops.
After all, my uncle's army is not a hardened sergeant, but a banker who can't survive, just working together to protect himself. Now there are many casualties and there is no desire to fight anymore. Li Deyi and other heroes are indeed considering withdrawing their troops. This gathering of troops was just to encourage Du Yanbing and Wang Run to besiege Pingyuan County and not to allow Bohai County to support them.
It was originally just a siege. Li Deyi was greedy and wanted to test Bohai County. After looting, he would not worry about the cost this year. Unexpectedly, during the siege, one of the commanders was shot by a stray arrow in the city and died on the spot. This turned a siege into a siege.
Li Deyi discussed with several big bandit leaders and decided to attack surrounding villages and towns instead. After looting, he returned to Douzi for temporary refuge.
Immediately, everyone broke away from the camp. Li Deyi personally escorted them back. The large group of people packed up the camp and retreated. There were few officers and soldiers in Bohai County and they did not dare to go out of the city to pursue. They watched Li Deyi calmly retreat from the city wall.
But it was said that Li Deyi and others left Bohai County and walked five or seven miles north. Passing by the foot of a mountain, they heard a blast of cannons and rushed out of a cavalry army, heading straight for the unsuspecting people. Li Deyi's department.
The cavalry troops were like hot knives cutting through butter, cutting Li Deyi's troops into pieces in one fell swoop.
The infantry then covered up the attack. Just as Liu Huiniang said, Li Deyi's troops were defeated in just a while. The killed [uncle thieves] were at a loss what to do, and their horses were broken and stopped. The [uncle thieves] only hated their parents for having two legs, and fled for their lives on the remote roads in the deep villages.
The horse army also scattered in pursuit, and Zhao Zhen had someone shout: "Don't kill those who surrender!"
They were chasing people everywhere, and they only killed for more than an hour before withdrawing their troops. All the generals came to offer their merits, and Pei Xuan wrote down the merits of all the generals in detail.
It was the Ma Army's credit for breaking the enemy formation, and it was the credit for killing the three leading generals, namely Lin Chong, Sun An, and Yang Zhi.
Nearly 7,000 people were surrendered, which was the credit of the infantry. Bao Xu also killed a bandit leader during his rebellion.
More than 200 war horses, more than 300 cattle, mules and other large livestock were seized, and there was no calculation of vehicles, fodder, food, or armor.
Unfortunately, Li Deyi was lost in the rebellion.
Twenty thousand [uncle thieves] attacked the city and damaged more than 4,000, captured 7,000 and killed them. Nearly 2,000 were trampled, and the remaining 6,7,000 were scattered into the countryside.
Zhu Wudao: "Officials, why don't you take the prisoners and station them at Li Deyi's camp in front of the Bohai County. Train the prisoners. If the Bohai County can be captured, all the treasury and warehouses will be returned. All the officials own."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen immediately ordered to set up camp in front of Bohai County.
