Chapter 160: Reinforcements arrive

In fact, when the Ming army was in chaos, Wang Dayong was not clear, after all, he couldn't see clearly at night.

However, as the Ming army stopped advancing, there were some roaring noises, which made Wang Dayong and several other senior generals unanimously determined that the Ming army had panic and confusion, and it was a good time to attack.

Wang Dayong would not give up this opportunity, and immediately ordered a part of the troops to attack, while the other part continued to stick to the camp.

Wu Jun maintained the formation and chased slowly.

Regardless of their slow progress, they were able to catch up with the enemy.

This is the difference between organized and unorganized. The chaotic Ming army was panicked when fleeing, but the road back to the city was not a straight line. As a result, a large number of the Ming army took the wrong path.

And this part of people was either shot to death or captured alive.

After chasing for one or two miles, Wu Jun chose to retreat because he was worried that the Ming army in the city would come out to meet him.

Anyway, for them, the conspiracy of allowing the enemy to attack at night was already a success, and the small victory afterwards was an extra surprise.

In Xuancheng City, Fang Guoan has not slept, waiting for news of the night attack.

When he heard the commotion outside, he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Xu Wenwei then came in to report the failure of the night attack.

"How many people are back?"

Fang Guoan suppressed his anger and asked, he wouldn't get angry directly with the failure of the night attack, after all, this was originally a difficult technical job.

"There are about two thousand people, and some of the soldiers who have separated are still returning one after another. It is expected that several hundred more will be able to come back by dawn."

Xu Wenwei said cautiously, losing half of his troops directly, and not gaining any results, which can be described as an extreme failure.

"Go down and appease the soldiers. Your military salary this year will be temporarily detained and will be paid when you have done your work."

Fang Guoan made a fine of fines.

This punishment is not serious, but Xu Wenwei still feels a little unhappy.

After all, the failure of his night attack this time is not his problem. The night attack was Fang Guoan's strategy, and Wu Jun used a special method of reporting in the night attack, and he can't be blamed for this.

In the subsequent retreat, although his performance was not good, there were no particularly major mistakes.

In short, this is a crime of non-war.

But he was still punished, which made him very dissatisfied.

On Wu Jun's side, the results and losses were not counted until dawn.

Only after dawn did they go out to condense the corpses and collect the weapons and equipment left by the enemy.

According to statistics, they killed more than 400 Ming soldiers and captured more than 700 people last night.

This was only a visible result. Wang Dayong knew that under this circumstance, the Ming army would definitely lose more than one thousand one hundred men, and there would definitely be a large number of soldiers scattered.

Some soldiers may not return to the barracks after they are separated. They may fall into the grass, or quietly sell their weapons and go home to farm.

The enemy suffered heavy losses, but the side that was attacked at night only lost more than forty people. Most of them were not killed by the enemy. The deaths caused by falls, accidental injuries, gun barrel blasts, etc. The majority.

This proportion of casualties is perfect for the side attacked at night.

"The enemy army is stealing chickens but not eclipsing them. We are the masters of night raids. They want to play night raids with us. It can only be described as whimsical."

Wang Dayong laughed and said, he had participated in two night attacks before, and they were both successful.

In terms of night battle experience alone, he is richer than most generals.

"Thanks to the soldiers who were on guard, it was a signal that they had spent their lives in exchange."

"Yes, meritorious soldiers must be rewarded. The whole army informed that several soldiers who were on guard died for the army last night, and their families can receive a pension of twenty taels of silver and tax exemption for three years."

Rewards and punishments are clear, so that soldiers can maintain their fighting will at the critical moment.

Wang Dayong's reward is to tell those soldiers that as long as they make contributions to the army, even if he is killed in battle, his family will not be treated badly.

This kind of reward is more or less motivating.

Subsequently, Wang Dayong ordered the strengthening of the fortifications of the camp, digging larger and deeper trenches, and arranging more open and secret guards.

Anyway, they are not attacking the city now, and they must rest assured to wait for the arrival of reinforcements. Without reinforcements, it would be too difficult for people to get some Xuancheng with them.

In Tongling, after getting help from Wang Dayong, Liu Hansan personally took the army, and by the way, Zhang Yingyuan went to Xuancheng with him.

It is more at ease to bring Zhang Yingyuan around, and at the same time, you can let Zhang Yingyuan's troops go first and consume his direct troops when attacking the city.

Although Zhang Yingyuan will be supplemented with troops in order to maintain the organization afterwards, he can use some tricks during the supplementary process, such as supplementing the entire company and the entire battalion.

And the troops that were replenished must be Wu Changqing's diehards.

These people usually follow Zhang Yingyuan's command, but if Zhang Yingyuan has any unruly intentions, these people will immediately rebel.

Such a supplement will invisibly weaken Zhang Yingyuan's power.

Liu Hansan also learned a lot of such small routines with Wu Changqing.

Liu Hansan brought a total of nearly 20,000 troops in the past to support. With the addition of Wang Dayong's Ministry, there is no longer a loss in military strength.

In terms of weapons, they crushed the Ming army.

Apart from other things, the forty cannons alone are enough for Fang Guoan to have a headache.

The army arrived in Xuancheng and rested for a day, preparing to attack the city the next day.

At this time, Fang Guoan's messenger came to Wu Jun's camp and asked to see Wang Dayong.

Fang Guoan was ready to admit his counsel. The last time Wang Dayong had beaten him with 10,000 troops, he yelled. The Wu army’s strength has now increased to 30,000, and the number of artillery and guns has doubled.

Facing this army, he didn't have the confidence to defend Xuancheng.

In desperation, he had no choice but to bow his head under the eaves and sent an envoy, hoping to reach a reconciliation.

In order to show goodwill, Fang Guoan was willing to return Li Chengdong's 8,000 troops.

Of course, Fang Guoan was also careful here. He planned to select eight thousand old and weak from the army, or temporarily trick a group of young men into Li Chengdong's subordinates in the city.

Unfortunately, where did Fang Guoan know that Wang Dayong and the others didn't care about Li Chengdong's 8,000 men at all, they just wanted Xuancheng.

Anything to return Li Chengdong's troops is an excuse.

Wang Dayong once again stated that he wanted to reconcile and just let Xuancheng out.

This kind of request caused Fang Guoan to throw a few more teacups angrily.

"Too much deception, too much deception, is it tolerable and unbearable?"

Fang Guoan yelled at him. He was a duke who was dignified and prepared to promise Wang Dayong's unreasonable conditions. It was already embarrassing enough.

Unexpectedly, Wang Dayong was not satisfied at all and had to demand Xuancheng even harder.

If Wu Changqing personally came to make such a request, he would grit his teeth and endure it.

But it was only one general under Wu Changqing who made this request. There are still several generals under Wu Changqing of this level.

"General, are we really going to fight them? I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

Xu Wenwei persuaded that for the generals, you must not be arrogant. An order from a general determines the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people.
