Chapter 608 Why is it so difficult to fight a field battle

Not long after the Wei army occupied Guanzhong, Gao Yihuan led the main force out of the pass. He was still a little worried about the situation in Guanzhong.

Gao Yihuan has always been worried that when he fought fiercely with Duoduo in southern Henan, the Qing army would use its superiority in strength to attack Guanzhong and take it back.

In the final analysis, there are many wall-riding factions in Guanzhong, and the Wei army can easily occupy Guanzhong.

Similarly, once the Qing army entered the pass, these wall-riding factions would inevitably change and become officials of the Qing Dynasty again.

Therefore, Gao Yihuan's strategy in Guanzhong was to keep the Qing army out of Guanzhong. For this reason, he deployed heavy troops to defend in northern Shaanxi, Pujindu, and Tongguan.

Although a lot of preparations were made, Gao Yihuan was still a little uneasy, worried that the Qing army would attack Guanzhong from Hetao, Shanxi, and Tongguan, which would cause changes in Guanzhong.

This time Gao Yihuan defeated Geng Zhongming in Shanzhou and drove the Qing army outside Tongguan into Luoyang, so he was completely relieved.

Geng Zhongming's defeat was not only a loss of troops, but also the materials gathered in Shanzhou, including the red cannons used to tackle key problems.

In this way, even if Geng Zhongming still has some strength, he will not be able to pose a threat to Tongguan again in a short time.

At this time, the only threats facing Guanzhong were Hauge in Hetao and Ye Chen in Shanxi. The threats were immediately reduced, so Gao Yihuan didn't have to worry too much.

After defeating Geng Zhongming, Gao Yihuan's goal of getting out of Tongguan has already achieved more than half of it. As for capturing Luoyang, he is not in a hurry.

Although Luoyang is of great political significance, it would be a good thing for Wei Jun if it can be won, but the time is obviously not ripe right now.

Not to mention that Geng Zhongming still has more than ten thousand elite soldiers in the city, it took time to fight, and even if it was defeated, Gao Yihuan had no troops to defend, and once the Wei army occupied Luoyang, the Qing army would definitely have to fight repeatedly, and the battle would be endless.

This was not in line with Gao Yihuan's strategy, so he besieged Luoyang for three days, covered Yuan Zongdi, and after Gao Yicheng left, the army immediately went south, broke through the Longmen Pass, walked to Ruzhou, passed Jiaxian County, and rushed directly to Xiangcheng, and then the army Enter Nanyang to deploy defenses at various important passes, and replace the Wei army in southern Henan, which has been fighting hard for many days, to allow them to rest and replenish.

In the south of Xuzhou city, around a piece of scorched ruins and broken walls, there are grave-like military tents all around. Countless soldiers of the Qing army walked through it, and there was a lot of noise and noise.

In a fairly complete courtyard in the village, Duoduo and several of his subordinates sat around and ate meat.

Because Xuzhou and other places were dilapidated, the people almost ran away, so the Qing army didn't get any food, and there was no boiled pork head meat to eat.

However, when Duoduo entered the village, he shot a wild deer to death. All the soldiers praised it as a good omen, which put Duduo in a good mood, so he entertained the generals with the venison.

At the beginning of March, the weather was getting warmer day by day. Duoduo sat on top of the bonfire with his bluish scalp bare, dried a bowl of deer blood, then put the bowl down, and said in a deep voice: "A few years ago, this king first attacked Entering Henan, intending to pull Luoyang, the troops entered Tongguan, but when the army attacked Hulaoguan, Gao Manzi attacked the rear and burned all the food and grass of the king, so that the king returned without success. This time, the king stationed the army here, Even if Gao Yihuan comes to rob Xuzhou of food, as long as he dares to come, the king's horse army will overwhelm him, and he will never come back."

Xuzhou was located between Xiangcheng and Zhengzhou. It was too far to store grain in Zhengzhou, and too close to the battlefield in Xiangcheng, so it was not safe. Therefore, the Qing army stationed in Xuzhou and sent nearly [-] troops to defend it.

"My lord, will Gao Yihuan definitely come to Xuzhou?" Someone asked ignorant of current affairs.

Duoduo was not angry, but sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't come. This king will fight steadily and eat Nanyang first. Now Jin Shenghuan has been beaten by this king, and Wu Shizhao is just fighting a trapped beast. If Gao Yihuan doesn't come , this king will be able to enter Nanyang within half a month. At that time, Gao Manzi's territory will be cut in half by this king, and he will lose Huguang's money and food. Even if he occupies Luoyang, he will not be able to survive this winter."

Dodo said, paused, cut a piece of meat and chewed it in his mouth, and continued after a while: "But I believe that Gao Yihuan will not be so stupid that he will go to Luoyang, which is irrelevant. His military strength is already Not as good as this king, the siege of the city consumes troops, and it is not beneficial for him to divide the troops to garrison them. If Gao Manzi wants to win, he has to be surprised, so he will definitely come to Xuzhou!"

Seeing that Duduo was so sure, most of the gold generals present laughed, but there were still some people who murmured in their hearts. Last time the prince waited for Gao Yihuan in East Henan for a few months, he also made such a vow that Gao Yihuan would definitely come to East Henan, but the result~
Of course, everyone agreed, and no one dared to mention it. Everyone was amazed by Duduo's analysis, and some clever people even flattered: "My lord, if Gao Manzi dares to come, our [-]-horse army will The [-] infantry ambushed near Xuzhou, and the [-] cavalry swept over, and they would definitely kill him without leaving any armor behind."

With a smile on his face, Duoduo cut another piece of meat and brought it to his mouth~

While everyone was talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and not long after, Shang Kexi hurried over with a whip in one hand, and pushed open the half-covered door.

He pushed hard, and the broken door creaked a few times, and fell directly inward into the courtyard, making a "bang" sound, and dust flew up.

The dagger that Duoduo brought to his mouth froze, Shang Kexi also froze all of a sudden, and everyone turned their gazes together, thinking that someone was coming to kill him.

"King Zhishun, why are you panicking?" Duoduo threw the dagger into the basin.

"My lord, go back to the teacher, Gao Yihuan from Donkey Day won't be coming!" Shang Kexi reacted and clasped his fists.

"What did you say?" Dodo's face darkened.

Many Qing generals were shocked when they heard the words, Gao Yi couldn't be happy, what did that mean?The king of the county analyzed a lot just now, and he didn't finish his meal, so it was so difficult that he was slapped in the face again?
Shang Kexi said: "My lord, the Xiangcheng camp came to report and was attacked by the Wei army, causing heavy casualties. In addition, Gao Yihuan has already played his banner in Xiangcheng, and the soldiers and horses guarding the city have also changed!"

"What?" Duoduo jumped up, and the table in front of him was kicked away by him. His whole face was so gloomy that it was about to drip, and he roared with a ferocious expression, "Why, why didn't Gao Yihuan come to fight with the king?"

Two days later, in the early morning, just after dawn, a group of horse troops galloped to the north of Xiangcheng.

The cavalry reined in their horses three miles away from the city. Duoduo took out a binoculars and looked at the top of the city.

On the top of the city, Gao Yihuan was patrolling the defense, when Wu Shizhao suddenly pointed to the outside of the city, "Look, my lord, in the distance, Duoduo should be back."

Gao Yihuan raised his brows when he heard the sound, walked to the wall, looked out of the city, happened to see Duduo and his party peeking at the top of the city, and couldn't help laughing: "Duoduo is really among them, I'm afraid his lungs will explode."

Gao Yihuan glanced at it, then waved his hand and said: "Ignore him, let's strengthen our defense quickly and get familiar with the city defense, Duduo is going to go crazy soon!"

Outside the city, Duoduo watched for a while, staring at Gao Yihuan's big banner for a while, then suddenly put down the binoculars, and shouted angrily: "Shang Kexi, mobilize troops and horses, attack the city immediately, this king will kill Gao Yihuan alive!"
