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

Chapter 283 Fighting in the Rain
After Niu Jinxing left with 10 horses, Liu Zongmin immediately suggested to Li Zicheng to attack the mountain on a large scale and wipe out Sun Chuanting's thousands of horses in one fell swoop.

Li Zicheng shook his head, Sun Chuanting has become a turtle in the urn, and he is already unable to fly. The most important thing now is to deal with Lin Yi's team. This is his heart disease and his focus.

Don't look at Niu Jinxing's 10 army, but Lin Yi only has 5 horses. To put it bluntly, Li Zicheng is still worried about Niu Jinxing, wondering if he can win this battle.

Because Lin Yi and Li Zicheng had such a headache, I didn't dare to take it lightly at all, and didn't dare to take any chances.

Because Li Zicheng felt that he could not afford to lose.More than a year ago, the several battles outside Nanyang City left him with lingering fears, and Ji Dong gave him 18 horses left, which was a trauma to his heart that he could never heal.

If the first time only 18 riders were left in Shangluo Mountain, Li Zicheng was able to cheer up and heal his wounds, but the second time had already seriously injured his vitality and lost his confidence.

At that time, Li Zicheng stamped his feet and beat his chest, why did he fail so badly again, God has no eyes!If it wasn't for Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan and Gezuoying, the old Huihui, who joined later, it would be hard for him to believe that he could make a comeback.
At this time, Song Xiance and Li Yan, the two advisers under him, saw that Li Zicheng valued Lin Yi too much.But regarding Ji Dong's reputation, the two of them have already filled their ears. If this is the case, they will concentrate their forces to eliminate Ji Yi's troops first.

Therefore, the two of them also suggested to Li Zicheng that only a few people should be left to surround the hill, and they only need to guard a few passages down the mountain.The remaining tens of thousands of people will keep an eye on the situation of Niu Jinxing's team.

If Niu Jinxing wins the battle, there will be no further story.They attacked the mountain in a big way, eating thousands of Sun Chuanting's troops in one fell swoop, so it would be effortless.

But if it's the other way around, there's trouble.According to Li Zicheng's group's vision, even if Niu Jinxing can't win this battle, he can at least stop the team for a while, so that Li Zicheng can send an elite army to bypass Lin Yi and attack behind. Lin Yi came from a long way, and in this rainy weather, the muskets would definitely not be able to fire. The number of troops was small, and coupled with the enemy's front and back, Lin Yi was bound to lose.

Therefore, Li Zicheng asked Liu Zongmin to take 1 troops to continue to trap Sun Chuanting's figures and surround them without annihilating them, as long as Sun Chuanting's men did not charge down to break through the siege.

Li Zicheng led the remaining tens of thousands of people to watch the battle situation of Niu Jinxing's team, so as to take timely countermeasures...

From Xinye to Xixia, that is, a distance of three or four hundred miles.Although the weather is bad, Ji Dong's team has iron discipline and good traditions.That is to be good at marching and able to overcome all difficulties, so his 6 horses appeared in Xixia County in just two days.

Now Ji Dong's intelligence system is also huge, and he never fights uncertain battles.Knowing himself and the enemy, he will never be imperiled in a hundred battles, and he will not accept those who are released at night. He quickly found out for him Li Zicheng's deployment of troops and the situation of Sun Chuanting on the mountain.

How should we fight this battle?Lin Yi asked Xiaoying and Zhezhe.Because Ji Dong wants to train him to be his own think tank, he has to train and train them through battle after battle.

It was Xiaoying who spoke first again, "Brother Lin wants to take my word for it and kill Li Zicheng's men directly. His team's fighting power is not at the same level as ours."

Ji Dong smiled and nodded. This is indeed a style of play, and it is very domineering. What Xiaoying said is not an exaggeration at all.

Now that Lin Yi is fighting Li Zi, he knows it very well.Don't look at the all-powerful Li Zicheng he is, don't look at the Emperor Chongzhen who couldn't deal with him and was forced to hang himself in the end.

But to Ji Dong, it was all a bunch of mobs.In a head-to-head confrontation, his men are just two words "no".

It's not that Ji Dong is arrogant and conceited.This is the conclusion he has reached after several battles with his opponents.And what I am sure of is that Ji Dong's Musketeer Battalion has been updated.

Regardless of the new muskets, only 2000 people are equipped, which is enough to beat Li Zicheng.If it was a melee battle between the two armies, even without a musket battalion, Ji Dong would be absolutely sure that he could knock down Li Zicheng's team, even though Li Zicheng had three times as many troops as him.

Ji Dong looked at Zhe Zhe again, wanting to hear her opinion.Lin Yi likes this Mongolian girl with both civil and military skills and full of personality.

She was dressed in Mongolian clothes, with a white khata on her chest, and her shiny black hair set off her delicate and creamy face.Especially those eyes, bright and gazing, just like the brightest one among the stars in the night sky.

"Brother Lin, in my opinion, the troops should be divided into two groups. One should fight against Li Zicheng's troops. On this route, heavy troops should be sent to contain most of Li Zicheng's troops. Then another group of troops should be sent to detour up the mountain to rescue people. This is what we are doing now. For the purpose of action, saving soldiers is like putting out fire.”

Lin Yi gave her a thumbs up, "As expected of a princess from a fighting nation, I'll take care of you."

Zhe Zhe smiled brightly, to be praised by Ji Dong like this, his heart was as sweet as honey.

But Xiaoying's small mouth pouted.Zhe Zhe looked at it and quickly restrained his smile.

Lin Yi saw it in his eyes, "Ying'er, you are not good at learning the art of war. Your sister's martial arts are comparable now, but you still have to learn from your sister when it comes to the twists and turns in your mind."

"Understood." Xiaoying said with a small mouth.

Zhezhe hurriedly said to Xiaoying: "Sister, I don't dare to be a younger sister. It is better for a younger sister to learn more cooking skills like her elder sister."

Xiaoying flattened her mouth, "It depends on whether I teach you or not. If you get cheap, you'll still be good!"

"Sister, don't be angry, Zhe Zhe knows it's wrong."...

Lin Yi immediately divided his troops and sent generals, asking He Renlong to lead 1 troops, including 3000 cavalry, and 1000 new musketeers, to go around and go to the mountain to rescue people.

Lin Yi personally led the remaining 50000 troops to confront Li Zicheng head-on. Hao Yaoqi led 1 troops as the vanguard, including 1000 rookie musketeers.The distance between the two armies is more than ten miles, and it is the main force of the 4-horse Chinese army led by Lin Yi.

For thousands of troops, a hundred and eighty miles is not a distance at all.

Outside Hujiazhuang, the two armies encountered each other.

This is of course Li Zicheng's forward force, that is, Hao Yaoqi's 1 horses. The opponent is of course Niu Jinxing's team. His forward force is 2 cavalry, led by two generals Li Guo and Liu Fangliang.

The drizzle was misty, like smoke and mist.

The two armies were about 300 meters apart and opened up the battlefield.

There are 1 soldiers, and there are no boundaries.The two sides add up to 3 horses, and this lineup is quite strong, it is simply overwhelming.

Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, and Hao Yaoqi, the three generals recognized each other at this time.They used to be a family, but now they have become life and death enemies.

Hao Yaoqi was a traitor in their eyes, so Li Guo and Liu Fang didn't fight each other, and scolded Hao Yaoqi before the battle.

Of course, Hao Yaoqi would not keep silent, the two sides scolded each other, and then Li Guo and Liu Fangliang each led their men and horses to kill the officers and soldiers, shouting like a tide.

However, Hao Yaoqi's team did not rush forward. If it was normal, according to Hao Yaoqi's character, he would have had a drink, then waved the big flagpole, and led the troops to charge forward. In his mind, the two armies met the brave win.

But today he didn't fight like this, because when he came, Ji Yi had already told him to kill the enemy more and hurt himself less. In war, we must pay attention to tactics and routines.

Of course, he didn't dare not listen to Ji Dong's words.This comes from the awe of Ji Dong. Of course, this is not forced under high pressure, but from the inner admiration.

There are not many people who have convinced Hao Yaoqi in this life. Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Zongmin and others can all be ranked, either convinced by their wisdom, or convinced by their force.

But there is only one person who convinces Hao Yaoqi the most, and that is Lin Yi.

Now he is obedient to what Ji Dong says, and he never dares to discount it at all. He also dares not drink wine now, unless Ji Yi allows him to drink when there is no war, so that he can have a few sips to enjoy himself.

In a word, as Ji Dong's general, he will do whatever you ask him to do. His loyalty to Ji Dong has far surpassed his loyalty to the imperial court.

Otherwise, Ji Dong would not regard him as a confidant, nor would he entrust him with such a heavy burden.

At this time, Hao Yaoqi put the 1000 musketeers at the forefront. Hao Yaoqi wanted to see if the "special forces" given to them by Master Lin were good or not.

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.Mr. Lin went back and forth to Anhui to fetch the "truth" from the brothers of the Bi family. It took such a long time, a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and so many twists and turns. What kind of effect is it? .

There are many thieves and soldiers, and the 2 horses are all cavalry, and their ideas have been instilled by Niu Jinxing. The muskets of the officers and soldiers will definitely not be able to fire, and there is a huge backing behind them. up.

Therefore, these bandits and soldiers were confident, screaming like a group of demons dancing wildly, and the horses sitting down couldn't wait to fly. They couldn't wait, poured all their abilities into the weapons in their hands, and used all their strength and all their healing skills , Spare no effort to kill the officers and soldiers.

The distance between the two sides is only 300 meters, which one can stand the gallop of the horse?In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was within 200 meters.

As the bandits charged, they prepared their bows and arrows. For such a charge, of course they had to use their bows and arrows first.

If you don't shoot at the opponent, if the opponent wants to shoot at you, of course you should use the bow first.Although firearms have been deployed on a large scale, bows and arrows are of course the most practical and powerful.

However, the range of bows and arrows is 100 meters, especially if the arrows are fired at random, exceeding 100 meters, most bows and arrows are at the end of their strength.

The current bandit army has also developed the ability to charge and shoot arrows at the same time. The reason why they have such combat power is that Li Zicheng has capable people under his command and can train soldiers.

While the war horses were galloping forward, they rushed to the bandit archers at the front, drew their bows and set their arrows, and with a single crunch, the bows and arrows were fully drawn, and then they took aim. The next moment they waited within a hundred meters, they fired all their arrows. .

The officers and soldiers did not charge, they were obviously on the defensive, ready to use defense as an offense.

The bandit army intends to use bows and arrows to disrupt the opponent's position first, and then a single charge can kill them all and disperse them.

"Raise the gun!"

With one order, 1000 new musketeers clattered open the insurance, and the more than 300 musketeers in the front row all raised their muskets and aimed at the surging bandit army.

The distance is only one or two hundred meters. Although there is rain and fog, these bandits have already seen it, but they simply dismiss it.Can that thing of yours play loud?The gunpowder has already been wet, you are grasshoppers baring their teeth - scaring the mowers.We'll be able to shoot you under your horse and chop you to the ground.

Therefore, in the face of this row of black muzzles, Li Guo and Liu Fangliang's troops simply turned a blind eye and urged their horses to charge forward, and even started to shoot arrows.

"Fire!"

"Papa, papa..." All the more than 300 muskets in the first row were fired, and there was not a single mute.

The bullets flew in the misty rain, rushing towards the bandits in the front, all of them looked incredible, and then they were shot and fell off their horses one after another.

The bows and arrows in their hands were thrown away before they were fired.Blood, rain and mud, mixed together, staining the dirty grass and trees red.

The horses without a master galloped in all directions, and the front of the bandit army was in chaos...
