Chapter 218: Defense instead of offense(2/3)
Li Chengzhi had already thought of it.
When I was being beaten, the eyes of those generals were as contemptuous as possible, and they were probably ridiculing me to the core.
Among them are these three officers, who don't know whether they are captains or captains...
Although Da Xi repeatedly emphasized to these three generals that they should obey his orders, Li Chengzhi estimated that if it was a normal military order, these few might listen, but what if they were asked to follow the civilians to dig ditches?
Well, if it were me, I would definitely scold my mother...
Like to dig or not, it is not your own soldiers who will die anyway. Besides, the ugly words have been said before. Once the battle comes, if these officers and soldiers really dare to come to the battle, I will kill as many as they come...
Li Chengzhi clucked twice, urging the auxiliary soldiers to set up the formation as soon as possible, and then asked the lone battalion of white-armored troops to quickly place arrows in the formation...
……
The village gate is still the same village gate, and the command platform is still the same command platform, but the characters giving orders have changed several times like a revolving door.
Xi Kangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, not wanting to hold Li Yun accountable at all: Why didn't you follow the military order and stick to Longshan, but instead came to Jingzhou City?
It’s not that you don’t ask, but that it’s time. One after another military reports are passed to the audience, which is dazzling and the response is flawless...
"Reporting to the garrison, General Da Xi ordered the four battalions to take the initiative to attack and block the rebellion to the east of Hu Xiaowei's formation..."
"Report...The wall of fire is gradually extinguishing, and the rebels' counterattack is getting stronger..."
"Report...the four battalions of the former army were destroyed by nearly half, and General Daxi ordered two more battalions to press in for reinforcements..."
Hearing this, the few left and rear generals who accompanied Xi Kangsheng, as well as a bunch of aides who had joined the army, recorded events, etc., all looked shocked.
How long has it been since Xi Kangsheng sent Da Xi to lead his troops to attack?
In just two moments at most, nearly half of the four thousand officers and soldiers were lost, and Da Xi had to send two more battalions to support...
But why was it that Hu Baozong was able to support two two moments with only 2,000 parts?
Well, I guess it was because the fire wall was in full swing at that time, and the rebels couldn't get out even if they wanted to...
Looking at the expressions of these people, Xi Kangsheng sighed sadly: An arrogant soldier will be defeated...
A battle at Zhongli cost more than 200,000 imperial elites, but these bastards still haven't learned their lesson?
If you continue to be coquettish, it is estimated that the second Zhongli defeat will not be far away...
He shook his head and asked his soldiers: "What is Li Chengzhi doing?"
"For guard duty, Lieutenant Li is setting up a formation..."
Even the messenger found it strange when he thought about it: "But for some reason, trenches were dug outside the formation and water was diverted..."
Trenches were dug and water was diverted?
A group of generals looked at each other: Is this a posture that they must hold on to?
But Xi Zhenshou wants him to fight this battle well. What does it mean that Li Chengzhi doesn't take the initiative to attack and shrinks back?
Xi Kangsheng asked again: "What formation is there?"
"It's like a square array, but the center of the array is empty..."
Is this the hollow formation that Zhang Jingzhi and Yang Shu mentioned many times?
It's a pity that it's nighttime, otherwise I would have to see it...
Xi Kangsheng nodded slightly and asked: "How many soldiers did Li Chengzhi use to form this formation?"
The ordering soldier replied respectfully: "These are the two thousand auxiliary soldiers whom Captain Li mentioned. After the remaining three thousand civilians dug trenches, they were sent back to the camp by Captain Li..."
"Only two thousand auxiliary soldiers?" Xi Kangsheng frowned, "Where are the three battalions of the army sent to him by Da Xi?"
Seeing Xi Kangsheng's eyes as sharp as a knife, how could the soldiers dare to deceive him: "Li Duwei ordered them to dig trenches with the civilians, but none of the three battalions obeyed... Li Duwei also ordered them to return to General Da Xi's tent to listen to the order, and these three battalions were still
Don't move...finally...finally..."
The soldiers gritted their teeth fiercely: "Finally, Lieutenant Li ordered his soldiers to warn him, saying that if the formation is set up, anyone who dares to get close to the formation will be killed without mercy..."
"Hahaha... Wow..."
Xi Kangsheng looked at Li Yun and laughed wildly, "You soldiers from the third battalion clearly think that Li Chengzhi is not powerful enough, so you actually stretched your neck under Li Chengzhi's knife to help him establish his authority?"
Li Yun's face turned the color of pig liver.
Military orders are like mountains!
It's okay for you to resist the order because you don't want to dig trenches with the civilians, but Li Chengzhi told you to get out of here. Just be smart and get out.
Instead, continue to resist the order?
It's hard to say whether Li Chengzhi dared to kill or not, but looking at Xi Zhenzheng, it was clear that he had murderous intentions...
Li Yun fiercely clasped his fists: "Guard..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he uttered two words, he was interrupted by Xi Kangsheng with a wave of his hand: "Uncle Yuan wants to ask for a battle? Hahaha, I don't believe it. You didn't guess why it was your Buqu who was fighting, but I sent Da Xi as the commander-in-chief."
Intention?"
Li Yun's heart skipped a beat.
How could he not guess it?
Xi Kangsheng had clearly become suspicious of himself, so he launched a surprise attack. The reason why he separated from Li Chengzhi later was because he was afraid of collusion...
He even knew that even if the officers and soldiers won, the losses would definitely be considerable, but Xi Kangsheng still focused on the officers and soldiers, with the Baijia Battalion as a supplement, but he did not distinguish between Da Xi and Li Chengzhi, and Li Yun also understood the intention of who was in charge.
It's just that the Baijia camp is too majestic. If Li Chengzhi leads a group of civilians to win even this last battle, where will the imperial court's face be?
Li Yun even guessed why Xi Kangsheng asked Li Chengzhi to call himself a lower official.
Li Chengzhi can be majestic, but Baijiaying cannot be majestic...
In other words, the one who can show prestige can only be General Li Chengzhi who was appointed by the imperial court and belongs to the Jingzhou Battalion of officers and soldiers, not the so-called Baijia Battalion...
But the commanders of these three battalions turned a deaf ear to Li Chengzhi’s military orders?
Isn’t this a rush to put your neck under Xi Kangsheng’s knife?
Just as he was secretly resenting it, Li Yun heard Xi Kang's sigh again: "You are really still invincible? That's all, if you try again, you will only increase casualties... Send an order to Li Chengzhi and ask him to fight in a moment... Also order Da Xi
, ordered him to be controlled by Li Chengzhi..."
As he spoke, he turned back and looked at Li Yun with a smile: "Uncle Yuan, can you guess that at this moment Li Chengzhi is clearly in a defensive position, so how should he turn around in this short moment?"
Defense becomes offense?"
Li Yun really couldn't guess... If he hadn't seen that Xi Kangsheng had cherished Li Chengzhi's talents, and added the sentence "Let Xi be controlled by Li Chengzhi", he almost thought that Xi Kangsheng deliberately wanted Li Chengzhi to
Chengzhi died...
Seeing that Li Yun was silent, Xi Kangsheng turned his eyes to Zhang Jingzhi again.
Zhang Jingzhi sighed secretly: Li Chengzhi is really in a bag, and it is impossible to succeed...
Xi Kangsheng clearly knew enough about Li Chengzhi that he dared to let him command more than 10,000 officers and soldiers...
I definitely didn’t understand him this well before. I guess I learned a little bit about him after meeting Hu Baozong...
Suspicious in his heart, Zhang Jingzhi bowed slightly: "Thank you for guarding, Li Chengzhi's reputation for being good at fighting is actually all due to guarding..."
Everyone was confused.
Since he raised his troops, in which battle has Li Chengzhi not taken the initiative and pressed forward step by step?
Why did it become "Shou" again?
This is because these people don’t understand the specific battle situation at all...
Zhang Jingzhi was indeed right: before dark, Xi Kangsheng was still thinking hard. Li Chengzhi had almost wiped out the rebels in these fierce battles, but why was the battle ratio of each battle so weird?
p>
After asking Hu Baozong, I found out: Li Chengzhi used defense instead of attack in every battle, waiting for work in leisure, and there was never an exception...
Xi Kangsheng nodded slightly: "Haha, let's wait and see..."
……
Half an hour ago!
"Captain Li, please stick to the right wing. If the Chinese army is defeated, please lend a helping hand..."
When the generals saw Da Xi being so polite, their eyes almost fell to the ground.
Ridiculous, so ridiculous...
Not to mention the disparity in status between the two, let’s just say that there are 15,000 officers and soldiers, and where is Li Chengzhi?
There are only four to five thousand people...
As long as the brain is not broken, anyone can tell who is strong and who is weak, right?
But as if he had seen a ghost, Li Chengzhi's confidence was not ordinary, and he agreed immediately, as if he felt that the officers and soldiers should be defeated, but if it were Li Chengzhi, he would definitely win...
This can no longer be described as "crazy".
But as soon as they entered the battle, these generals knew why Li Chengzhi concluded that the officers and soldiers would be defeated.
To be continued...
