Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 263

"General Zhang Xianzhong and the others abandoned the city and fled!" Someone came to the army tent early in the morning to report to Lin Yi.

Xiaoying and Zhezhe laughed and said, "They ran away as soon as the cannon in red was set up, hurry up and enter the city, my great general!"

"Zhang Xianzhong gave me this trick. You two want me to be fooled by the general? If you don't study hard on the military books and tactics I gave you, see if I don't spank your ass." Lin Yi said, looking at the two of them. On the little butt, as expected, a small slap came.

The two little beauties' handsome faces were flushed, and they looked at each other. The flowery smiles on their faces stagnated, and they looked at Ji Dong in puzzlement.

"Is it so obvious that you can't see it? How does this general usually teach you?" Lin Yi shook his head, like an omnipotent god, walking around with his chest up and his hands behind his back.

"Brother Lin is saying that there is fraud in it?" Ermei said in unison.

"That's about the same." Lin Yi nodded and said, "Why don't you think about it, Zhang Xianzhong didn't run away sooner or later, we fired a cannon, and he ran away? So far, we haven't fought in Jingzhou, and there are thieves in the city. Nearly [-]. Zhang Xianzhong is a thug of the imperial court. He is not like Li Zicheng. The imperial court has been encircling and suppressing them for more than ten years and has not wiped them out. On the contrary, the screaming is getting worse. Can such a person be scared away by a few red cannons? ? There is not only deceit, but also deceit.”

Xiaoying and Zhezhe nodded their heads like chickens pecking at broken rice, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, brother Lin is right, so what should we do?"

Lin Yi smiled triumphantly: "He wants to give me an empty plan, this time I will give them an empty plan, come here!"

"Serve the general." Zhang Hua, the head of the guard, came in from the outside and bowed.

"Pass my order, all the troops will enter the city!"

"No." Zhang Hua promised to go out and pass it in.Half an hour later, Lin Yi's [-] troops marched into Jingzhou City in a mighty manner.

At this moment in the dark, there were a few spies of thieves who could see clearly, and hurried to report to Zhang Xianzhong and others.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong, who had already run more than 40 miles, laughed out loud, and gave his counselor Xu Yixian a thumbs up, Xu Yixian's smiling goatee pouted proudly.

"Let's go, the more embarrassing the better."

Next, they found a place to hide food, grass, luggage and other things, and ambushed 3000 men and horses here to guard them. The rest of the brigade marched lightly, with only dry food and water for a meal. Of course, they had prepared these in advance. This way the speed is much faster.

They ran out for 150 miles in one breath, and then his 8 horses stopped to breathe one after another.Zhang Xianzhong immediately issued an order to rest on the spot, bury the pot for cooking, and eat and drink enough. After three hours, that is, when it was dark, he marched hurriedly to kill his carbine. He rushed into Jingzhou in one go, and killed Lin Yi by surprise...

After Lin Yi's troops entered Jingzhou City in the morning, someone came to report in the afternoon that Zhang Xianzhong's brigade had already run out for more than 100 miles.

When it was time to set watch in the evening, Lin Yi ordered the city to lay out false banners, 4 horses and horses, except for 1000 horses left to confuse the other party, the 1000 horses were distributed on the gates and tops of the city, and the rest were all withdrawn and ambush outside the city. .

Zu Keyong, Hao Yaoqi, Zhang Hua, Wang Qi, Dong Sheng, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, Wang Jian, Xiaoying and Zhe Zhe all thought that Zhang Xianzhong should have really escaped this time. There must be a mistake in this judgment, the thieves have already run out for more than 100 miles, why are they cheating?If there is any deceit, we will use it early, who are we going to play with this empty plan?

If you don't want to chase the thieves, you can just sleep peacefully in Jingzhou City. How embarrassing is it that the thieves don't come after such a tossing all night?

Zu Keyong and Hao Yaoqi bravely came to see Lin Yi.

Lin Yi said: "What is more than 100 miles? As far as I know, Zhang Xianzhong and the others can run more than 300 miles in one day and one night!"

The second general didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately followed the order, but he was still a little unconvinced.Is it possible to run more than 300 miles a day and a night?After running so far, and then coming back, Zhang Xianzhong and the others are full?

It was the second watch of the night, and Ji Dong's men and horses were all in ambush.The main ambushes are outside the four gates of east, west, south, north, and more than ten miles away from the city gate.

Jingzhou City under the night, like a monster, lying prone on the bank of the Yangtze River.

There was still half an hour before the third watch, and Ye Bushuo came to report to Ji Yi, the bandits really killed the carbine, and their forward troops were only more than 30 miles away from here.

Lin Yi looked at Zhang Hua, Xiaoying and Zhezhe beside him, what did that mean?If they can't get their pulse, I'm still doing a fart!
Zhang Hua, Xiaoying, and Zhezhe admired each other, and felt that their Master Lin was really amazing. Even if Zhuge Liang was reborn, Liu Bowen was still alive!

Lin Yi immediately sent orders to all the troops to be vigilant, the big battle was coming soon, and everything went according to the original plan.

The news spread to the battalions, Lin Yi's generals Zu Keyong, Hao Yaoqi, Wang Qi, Dong Sheng, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, etc., these generals were about to fall asleep at first, and they thought there was probably nothing to do tonight. Hearing this, I immediately regained my spirits.

At the same time, they also wondered, Master Lin is really good at using soldiers like a god, and this offer of loyalty is ridiculous enough, why do you always cater to Master Lin Yi?It seems that they have enough to drink another pot tonight.

Lin Yi's 4 troops, including the 1000 ambush soldiers in the city, were all in high spirits and ready for battle.

Another half an hour later, that is, at the third watch, Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses really appeared more than 20 miles west of Jingzhou City.

Their cavalry was in front, and they ran for more than 130 miles after several hours of rapid marching, and stopped to wait for the infantry behind. Just after the third watch, Zhang Xianzhong's troops gathered here more and more, and 8 troops arrived one after another.

During this period, they also picked up all the food, grass and luggage lost halfway, including ladders for siege, siege vehicles and so on.

Another temporary rest for about half a stick of incense.After running such a long distance, in order to restore combat power, a proper rest must be done. People eat and horses are fed. Although it is impossible to bury the pot for cooking, it is still necessary to eat dry food and drink water.

In order to be on the safe side, during this period Zhang Xianzhong sent scouts to inquire about Jingzhou City and its surroundings. Several scouts came back and said that everything was as usual and nothing unusual was found.

In the darkness, Zhang Xianzhong's big yellow face showed a smug smile: The surname is Lin, probably you never thought of it in your dreams, right?Overnight, I, Zhang Xianzhong, came back again, extorting my money, occupying my Jingzhou, and the defeat of Xiangyang. Tonight, I will settle the old and new debts with you!
Zhang Xianzhong immediately ordered an army of 8 to surround Jingzhou City. Zhang Xianzhong's three godsons stayed with Zhang Xianzhong to escort them. They led the main force to watch outside the west city first. Thousands of horses launched a fierce attack from the four gates at the same time.

Under the night, it became a sea of ​​torches. The 4 army, shouting loudly, broke the tranquility of the night, almost overwhelming, storming Jingzhou City from all directions.

In fact, there is no need to attack so fiercely, just attack casually.Because there are only 1000 people defending such a big city now.Rather than defending, it is better to abandon the city defense and run as soon as you hear the sound, or open the city gate to let the thieves in.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong's 4 horses charged into Jingzhou City in one charge.

But after the attack, they felt a little strange, there were no soldiers in the city at all, and the 1000 troops left by Lin Yi were all hidden in the streets and alleys at this time, but how did Zhang Xianzhong's troops know, it was clearly an empty city in front of them.

The fourth general felt that something was wrong, he must have been fooled, and quickly sent someone to report to Zhang Xianzhong, and withdrew his troops, but it was too late.Because this is Zhang Xianzhong's brigade, seeing that Jingzhou City was taken down with ease, they thought they had a plan and killed Lin Yi's troops by surprise. Zhang Xianzhong, under the protection of his three godsons, led the main force 4 horses can be poured into the city from outside the west gate.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's people were retreating outside the city, and those rushing into the city were a bit chaotic.

At this moment, dozens of red-clothed cannons outside Jingzhou city roared...
