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

Chapter 282

Ji Dong figured out the ins and outs of the matter to the people who came to move the troops.

Just as Lin Yi was fighting Ge Zuoying, Sun Chuanting's men continued to pursue Li Zicheng.Li Zicheng sent his nephew Li Guo and general Liu Fangliang each with 1 horses to cut off the rear.

In the south of Nanzhao City, Li Guo's army of 1 met Sun Chuanting's army. This was Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Kaifeng.

Li Guo is nicknamed a tiger, with a knife in the horse's palm under his crotch, bravely crowning the three armies, invincible.Especially as soon as Li Guo saw Chen Yongfu, he was extremely jealous when he met his enemies, and he wanted to avenge his uncle.

Chen Yongfu used all his tricks to lure the enemy into deep-rooted troops by feigning defeat. Li Guo fell into Chen Yongfu's trick and was defeated by Chen Yongfu.

Liu Fangliang's men also encountered Sun Chuanting's troops in the Fangcheng area, and the leader of this army was Gao Jie.

When Liu Fangliang saw Gao Jie, he didn't even get angry.Because this Gao Jie used to be Li Zicheng's subordinate, and he and Li Zicheng were from the same hometown, and they used to be the best iron buddies.

But this Gao Jie actually abducted Li Zicheng's wife. He and the Xing family betrayed Li Zicheng, fled away and joined the imperial court. This green hat almost crushed Li Zicheng.

Liu Fangliang hated traitors the most. Hearing that this was Gao Jie's team, he wished he could shoot Gao Jie off his horse.At this time, he and Li Guo made the same mistake. Originally, these two generals were brave and resourceful, but at this time they were both dazzled by hatred.

Gao Jie doesn't only know how to deal with women, the tall and handsome Gao Jie has real skills, he is used to fighting in battles, and leads soldiers to fight strategically. Otherwise, in the Southern Ming Dynasty, he would not have become the most powerful Xing Ping Bo among the four towns warlords.

And at this time he still has two arms, one is his concubine Xing.This woman is not an ordinary woman, she is Li Zicheng's second wife, she is good at martial arts.The other is Li Chengdong, who is extremely skilled in martial arts and full of tricks.

Therefore, no matter how powerful Liu Fangliang is, he can't beat these three people.The result is also victory first and then defeat, and the defeat is miserable.

Li Guo and Liu Fangliang, two defeated soldiers, met outside Nanyang City.At this time, more than half of the 2 horses that Li Zicheng gave them had been lost.But the second general has not been defeated by this defeat, and is ready to reorganize his troops and fight another decisive battle with the official army.

But at this time, they received an order from Li Zicheng's general Li Yan, asking them to retreat immediately.

The second general had no choice but to continue running with the remnants of the defeated generals, and Sun Chuanting chased after him with his troops. This was also because Emperor Chongzhen was in a hurry to chase Sun Chuanting.

As a result, in Mentougou, Xixia County, Henan, Sun Chuanting's forward troops were ambushed by Li Zicheng's heavy troops. In a big battle, Kaifeng's general Chen Yongfu was trapped, and Sun Chuanting's men came to rescue, but tens of thousands of horses were defeated.

At this time, it was raining heavily, and the guns of the officers and soldiers could not be fired. More importantly, the food and grass could not be supplied. Li Zicheng sent General Yuan Zongdi to cut off Sun Chuanting's food supply.

Sun Chuanting was defeated one after another, and his morale was low. The main reason was that he had no food and grass, and was cold and hungry in the wet weather. The soldiers in the army complained.Sun Chuanting had no choice but to ask the imperial court for help.

The news of Lin Yi's complete annihilation of the Gezuo Battalion has come here, and it is only three or four hundred miles away from him. It is undoubtedly the nearest and most promising rescuer.

But Sun Chuanting knew that Lin Yi would definitely not send reinforcements.A few days ago, he wanted to put him and He Renlong to death. Although he followed the order, these two people probably hated him to death. Can you save him?It's impossible.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting didn't open his mouth at all, and could only look far away.

Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers struggled for several days. First of all, Chen Yongfu's army could not hold on.Chen Yongfu surrendered to Li Zicheng under the condition that Li Zicheng offered him the temptation to reuse him regardless of past suspicions.

Li Ziguo repaid his grievances with virtue, instead of killing Chen Yongfu, he made him his general, let him regain control of the army, and turned his head against Sun Chuanting's men.

Chen Yongfu is still a man of conscience, and he is grateful for Li Zicheng's kindness of not killing. This kindness is indeed rare. Li Zicheng injured one eye.

Therefore, Chen Yongfu was deeply grateful for his kindness and felt that Li Zicheng was a man enough. From then on, he wholeheartedly surrendered to Li Zicheng.With the army given to him by Li Zicheng, he first drove away Zhu Dadian, the general soldier in Nanjing, and then drove away David David, the general soldier in Baoding.

At Xiliuhe, Gao Jie's men were entangled again, and the two sides fought several times, each winning or losing.At this time, Sun Chuanting came up with reinforcements. He hated Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Kaifeng, and personally brought four or five thousand Qin soldiers, intending to destroy the traitor of the court.

But just as Chen Yongfu was about to annihilate his entire army, under the planning of Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, and Li Yan, Li Zicheng's main force of more than a dozen troops charged from all directions, killing Sun Chuanting and Gao Jie in one fell swoop. Li Zicheng's troops broke up, and in a melee, Li Zicheng's men not only rescued Chen Yongfu, but also surrounded Sun Chuanting and Gao Jie's men.

At this time, Li Zicheng had an army of 20, while Sun Chuanting's troops totaled only 3 to [-], and all of them were soldiers with floating hearts.

A fierce battle lasted for five days and five nights. In the end, Gao Jie, Xing Shi, Li Chengdong and others led more than 5000 people to break out of the encirclement.

Gao Jie has a fierce temperament, and he is a person who sees profit and forgets righteousness. He can abduct Li Cheng's wife, betray Li Zicheng, and even betray Sun Chuanting who single-handedly promoted him with his pigtails at critical moments, not to mention Emperor Chongzhen.

Therefore, Gao Jie saw the situation in front of him, left the coach Sun Chuanting without hesitation, and walked away with thousands of people.

In his words, even if he could rescue Lord Supervisor, he would have to die of starvation and poverty, and he would rather be a thief again to survive.

As a result, he dragged thousands of people and turned into a thief, but this was an official thief. He burned, killed and looted along the way, and ran from Henan to Jianghuai, lingering on his last breath.

The rest of Sun Chuanting was trapped in the Fanggou area. After a great battle, Niu Chenghu, a confidant who had been following him, died in battle. The men and horses caught up with a mountain temple surrounded by a low hill.

Sun Chuanting's troops, in terms of numbers, are not less than four thousand, but they are all listless, weak and weak, walking as if they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

This is the Qin army with super combat effectiveness!Regardless of the fact that they were all Qin troops, no matter what kind of army they were, they would not be able to play without food and grass, and no army could fight any more. Therefore, Sun Chuanting knew that this time it might be more ominous than good.

Li Zicheng's men didn't attack the mountain, but surrounded it below. Their men wanted to rush down, and it was impossible to break out of the encirclement, because the army had been out of food for five days, and all the food that could be eaten on this mountain had been eaten.

People are like iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, let alone for a few days in a row?These thousands of people are all supported by spirit.

It has been raining from time to time for the past five days. It is cloudy and I don't know how long it will last.Everywhere is wet and moldy like a person's mood.

Sun Chuanting's men and horses were so hungry that they couldn't take it anymore, and some of them drank muddy water from the ground to satisfy their hunger.Some picked the leaves from the trees and looked green, but after chewing a few mouthfuls it was so bitter that it was hard to swallow, because they were not livestock after all.

They also thought of killing and eating war horses, but the number of war horses was too limited.At this time, they knew that killing a war horse was almost like killing suicide, because without a war horse, they would die if they wanted to break out of the siege, and they had already killed a few horses, and there were too many monks and little meat, so it was useless, and now they were reluctant to kill any more. , because the remaining war horses, including Sun Chuanting's horses, are already very few.

Sun Chuanting was in a bad mood. I'm afraid the imperial court's reinforcements could not be counted on. He calculated with his fingers that the troops he sent to move the troops had just arrived in the capital. Even if the reinforcements came immediately, it would take ten days at the fastest. It has lasted for such a long time, and in another ten days, I am afraid that if Li Zicheng does not need to beat them by then, he will already perish.

Sun Chuanting couldn't have imagined that he would end up like this in the end.Gritting his teeth for the last time, he also went all out.As a soldier, I would rather die before the battle than after the battle. Death on the battlefield may be the best ending, even though the shroud in horse leather is also a kind of heroic tragedy.

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting felt relieved.He intends to cheer up the soldiers again, and then rush out in one go. As for whether they can rush out whether they are dead or alive, that's up to God!
After Sun Chuanting made up his mind, he immediately summoned the generals above Baizong to attend a meeting beside him...

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky darkened again, as if dusk had come to the world earlier.

The clouds in the sky were blown by the wind, running forward quickly, as if rushing to reincarnate, with strange shapes, like galloping wild horses for a while, like toppled mountain peaks for a while, and boundless waves for a while.

Finally overwhelmed.The rain crackled and fell again, dripping on the leaves, and the leaves were overwhelmed, and fell to the ground, adding some mud.

At this time, Li Zicheng's big camp at the foot of the mountain, the continuous and boundless joint camp, had surrounded the small mountain.

"King Chuang, it's raining again. We are attacking now with all our strength. We will definitely annihilate all the officers and soldiers on the mountain and capture Sun Chuanting alive, because the deserters who came down from the mountain said that the mountain has been out of food for several days. The officers and soldiers on the mountain have become A tiger whose teeth have been pulled out." At this time, Liu Fangliang came to Li Zicheng and suggested.

Li Zicheng nodded, but he did not give an order for a full-scale attack. He wanted to persuade Sun Chuanting one last time. Li Zicheng hoped that Sun Chuanting would surrender.

So Li Zicheng took his men and horses, coir raincoats and bamboo hats, and shouted under the mountain in the rain. His words were amplified several times by his soldiers, and they could be heard clearly on the mountain.

The meaning is to let Sun Chuanting quickly bring his troops down to surrender, maybe there is still a way to survive.Otherwise, they will attack the mountain, and then they will all die without a place to bury them.

Soon, Sun Chuanting's reply came from the mountain, which was also magnified. Sun Chuanting beat and scolded Li Zicheng, and would rather die than surrender to the thief.

"Sun Chuanting, since you are so ignorant of current affairs, then no wonder I, Li Zicheng, come on..." Li Zicheng's brows stood erect, his tiger eyes wide open. He was about to give the order to attack the mountain, when he came from the sparse A war horse ran past in the rain and fog.

Immediately, the man shouted while running, "Get out of the way, the military is urgent, I want to see King Chuang..."

When Li Zicheng heard it, he didn't rush to give an order. Soon the horse came to Li Zicheng, and the man on the horse got off the saddle, and came to Li Zicheng, covered in mud, knelt down and saluted.

"It's not a good thing to rush into the prince, and the rescuers from the official army have arrived."

Li Zicheng was taken aback when he heard this.

"Where did the soldiers and horses come from? How many people are there, and how far are they from here?"

"If you go back to Chuang Wangye, the soldiers and horses coming from the south are fighting under the banner of Lin Yi, the general soldier of Miyun. The forward troops are less than 40 miles away from here. Even the cavalry and infantry, there are about 6 to [-] people."

When Li Zicheng heard the word Lin Yi, his head buzzed.

It may be a conditioned reflex, more than 30 miles away from here is not a big deal, and he doesn't care about 6 or 20 officers and soldiers. Li Zicheng has been dealing with the officers and soldiers for a long time.But it was Lin Yi, the general soldier of Miyun, a young man in his [-]s, who caused him the most troublesome opponent.

The former was in the area of ​​Nanyang, and because Song Xiance made a fortune teller for him and told him to divert to the west, he escaped.

But Ji Dong's ghost lingered, and he didn't expect Ji Dong to catch up again so quickly.Li Zicheng had also heard about the defeat of Ge Zuoying and the annihilation of Ma Shouying and others, so he was even more afraid of Lin Yi.

It was astonishing that the horse Huihui was killed in one battle, just like Luo Rucai's men and horses were wiped out in the first battle by the Baishui River.

Of course, Li Zicheng knew the strength of Lao Huihui. Although there were only three or two battalions left in the fifth Gezuo battalion, the strength was still there. There were more than 1 horses, and there were people like Ma Shouying and Liu Xiyao who were accustomed to fighting. , No matter how much you pester Ji Dong, you will have to fight for a while.

But I didn't expect that in front of Ji Dong, their Ge Zuo Ying was completely vulnerable. I heard that it didn't cost a knife or a shot, and there was no casualty, so Lin Yi wiped out Ge Zuo Ying.

Thinking about this, Li Zicheng shuddered even more. He felt that Ji Dong's opponent was too powerful.He, Li Zicheng, has never been afraid of anyone. Lin Yi is the No. 1 feared person in Li Zicheng's life.

Before Li Zicheng could speak, Niu Jinxing, the counselor, spoke. He had always been dissatisfied with Lin Yi, and had wanted to fight Lin Yi for a long time. Seeing the opportunity before him, he volunteered.

"King Chuang, the surname Lin is nothing special. Niu is not talented, please King Chuang send a team to take advantage of their unsteady foothold and wait for work at leisure, and kill them all.

When Li Zicheng saw it, he had no choice but to do so. This battle could not be avoided.Immediately gave Niu Jinxing 10 horses, including 2 cavalry, and sent generals Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, and Liu Fangliang to Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing couldn't help but be elated, so many soldiers are useless at all, [-] is enough, but since King Chuang has been assigned to Niu, he no longer refuses, so as not to say that he is proud and underestimates the enemy.If you don't win again, it is simply unreasonable.Don't worry about King Chuang, this time I, Niu Jinxing, will definitely kill Lin Yi without leaving a single one behind!
