Chapter 285 Surrounding Wei and Rescue Zhao
"Brother Lin, what's the problem? Since General Hao is trapped, we will send troops to Zhaojiatun and rescue General Hao first." Xiao Ying spoke bluntly, and this time she did not wait for Lin Yi to ask.

Zhang Hua shook his head, and then said: "My eldest lady, the matter is not that simple. It is not difficult to rush to kill Niu Jinxing and rescue General Hao with our troops. , Your Excellency has to think about it, so as not to fall into the tricks of the enemy."

"What about the mantis or the oriole?" Xiaoying glanced at Zhang Hua, and asked Zhezhe, "Why are there so many tricks, then are we going to save people or not, sister?"

Zhe Zhe glanced at Lin Yi's handsome face, Lin Yi nodded to her, Zhe Zhe then said, "Sister, Brother Lin, if you want me to say that we should surround Wei and save Zhao, we should make a noise."

"Surround Wei and save Zhao, don't be so mean, just explain clearly." Xiaoying said.

"Oh, besieging Wei and saving Zhao, it is in history, hey, let's put it this way, we found Li Zicheng's team, we will not go to Zhaojiatun, but concentrate on attacking Li Zicheng's men, Niu Jinxing's men will surely retreat after they get the report, and go to rescue them. His master Li Zicheng, then General Hao will be saved here." Zhezhe explained that he has read more books than Xiaoying.

"Is this okay?" Xiaoying blinked her big watery eyes.

"Siege Wei, rescue Zhao Shengdong and attack west...hey, there is it!" Lin Yi said, his eyes lit up, "There is no need to look for it, Li Zicheng must be at the foot of the mountain where Sun Chuanting was besieged at this time, and the messengers will immediately gather in this area."

Ji Dong said and pointed to the earthworm-shaped markings on the map.

The place Ji Dong was referring to was the Xiliu River. This river was rather special. Because of the terrain in this area, it flowed westward, so it got its name.The river is not long, about a hundred miles.

With an army of 3, Lin Yi did not march in the direction of North Zhaojiatun, but diverted to Xiliuhe in the northwest.

About fifteen or six miles away, the Xiliu River is in front of you.The river is not wide, the narrow part is tens of meters long, and the wide part is hundreds of meters. The current is not too fast, and the average depth is about two to three meters.

On both sides of the river, there are large and small trees, flowers and plants, which are uneven. After the rain, they look extraordinarily crisp and dripping, but the flowers have withered all over the place.

This is a seasonal river, the river has the most water in summer, less in spring and autumn, and basically stops flowing in winter.

When Ji Dong's men reached the river, it was almost dark.

Lin Yi ordered his soldiers to immediately cut down logs and rush to become wooden lords. Tens of thousands of people acted immediately, picked up shovels and picks, and started working in full swing...

Zhaojiatun battlefield.

Hao Yaoqi led his men and horses, and fought desperately for several hours. At dusk, he finally couldn't charge, but he was still deeply surrounded by the bandits.

Covered in blood, Hao's flag-waving horse also died, waving the big flag to fight him, but now his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and the big flagpole in his hand felt heavy. Impossible, this is where they were buried, and the bandits rushed up to kill them, probably like slaughtering chickens.

The strange thing is that the thieves also retreated at this time, but they did not withdraw completely, but drew a large encirclement, encircling but not annihilating.

Now Hao Yaoqi's personal horse, including the injured, is only 6000 to [-] people.

"What's the matter with his mother's fighting spirit?" Hao Yaoqi cursed out of breath, looked at the sky again, and said to his opponent: "After dark, we will break through."

As he spoke, he poked the big flagpole on the ground.

One of the generals under his command said: "Don't worry, General. Lord Lin will definitely try to save us. When the time comes, we will be able to break out of the siege. The most important thing for us now is to seize the time to recover our strength."

Hao Yaoqi nodded approvingly, "Well, everyone, hurry up and rest."

He habitually touched behind him, but he didn't touch the wine bag. He remembered that since it was cast under Ji Dong's command, it was not allowed to take it on the battlefield. How enjoyable it is, I would rather be punished by Mr. Lin, but unfortunately all this is delusional.

I don't know when the rain stopped, and these soldiers were exhausted, and they didn't care about the mud and rain.

The night fell unconsciously...

A few hundred meters away from them, Niu Jinxing's troops formed an encirclement circle.

Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang and Tian Jianxiu came to Niu Jinxing and said angrily, "Sir, why did you stop the war? In less than an hour, they will all be wiped out. Hao Yaoqi will be captured and cut into pieces, and his body will be dismembered." Wan Duan."

Niu Jinxing shook his head and turned his mouth like [-], but he was still very polite, because these four generals were all Li Zicheng's confidantes, and they were Li Zicheng's pillars.

"Four generals, be safe and don't be impatient. It's not that time yet. Trapping Hao Yaoqi is only the first step. Our goal is Lin Yi. If Hao Yaoqi is trapped, Lin Yi will definitely send troops to rescue him. By then, Lin Yi will be rescued." Yi also got into his pocket, trapped them all in Zhaojiatun, and wiped them all out in one fell swoop."

When Niu Jinxing said this, he said to the messenger, "Order the generals of the battalions, if Ji Yi's men rush over, there is no need to fight them fiercely, just let them in."

"Obey!" The orderly promised and left.

The four generals looked at each other, it turned out that Niu Jinxing had planned that, but could Ji Dong be trapped in this way?

Seeing that the four of them were skeptical, Niu Jinxing smiled dumbly, thinking that they, like Li Zicheng, were all scared of being beaten by Lin Yi. What's so great about Lin Yi, so what if he can fire a musket in the rain?Isn't Hao Yaoqi still trapped?How can a mere 5 horses fight against Niu's 10 heavenly soldiers?
But Niu Jinxing couldn't say this clearly, so he had to comfort them, "Generals, you can go back to the camp and watch, unless the surname Lin refuses to save Hao Yaoqi, but this is impossible. As long as he leads the army If the team comes over, they will be able to trap him and eat them."

Seeing that Niu Jinxing looked confident, the fourth general didn't say anything more.

At this time, someone came to report that Lin Yi's men and horses did not come in the direction of Zhaojiatun, but diverted to the northwest, and drove to the bank of Xiliu River, where they were cutting trees wantonly to make rafts.

Niu Jinxing heard it, and turned the triangle circle a few times. Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu also had the same disease, and they all felt a little strange.

"Sir, it seems that Lin really won't save Hao Yaoqi, what should we do?"

"Hmph," Niu Jinxing snorted softly, shook his head and said, "No, this kid surnamed Lin is very ghostly. It's obvious that he wanted to rush across the Xiliu River overnight, and the intention of crossing the river is also obvious. He wanted to attack King Chuang's flank, and then attract our troops, Hao Yaoqi was saved, this is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao."

"Mr. is really clever, so what should we do?" The four generals are also people who understand military affairs, and they are all convinced when they hear Niu Jinxing's analysis.

Niu Jinxing stroked his goatee, shook his long head and thought: "This is easy to handle. Hurry up and send a letter to King Chuang, and let King Chuang's troops move quietly to the river tonight. Here we divide into two groups, and some continue to encircle Live in Hao Yaoqi, the other part is ready, as soon as Ji Dong's men and horses start crossing the river, we will rush over, only 40 miles away, the cavalry can arrive in an hour, launch a fierce attack from the rear, disrupt Ji Dong's crossing the river Plan. On the opposite side is King Chuang's army. Even if he can cross a little bit, he will be wiped out once he lands. In this way, we will attack back and forth, and we will be able to make Ji Yi not die by the river, but in the river. Jian Hao waved the flag."

"Mr. High opinion." Three of the four generals gave Niu Jinxing their thumbs up, but Yuan Zongdi was puzzled and said: "Sir, we will go again when the surname Lin is crossing the river. Will it delay the matter? Why not?" Taking advantage of the dark sky to quietly send a team to ambush?"

Niu Jinxing smiled, "General Yuan, Lin is too close to us. This kid is a ghost. If we act early, if they find out, all previous efforts will be wasted."

"The master is still thoughtful, and the subordinate understands." Yuan Zongdi bowed in admiration.

Niu Jinxing immediately found Zhuge Liang's feeling, and began to divide troops and dispatch generals. He asked Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu to lead 2 infantry soldiers to prepare for attacking Lin Yi's rear. He, Li Guo and Liu Fangliang led the remaining soldiers Still guarding Hao Yaoqi in Zhaojiatun.

When it was getting dark, several fast horses quietly left Niu Jinxing's company camp, bypassed the Xiliu River, and delivered a letter to Li Zicheng.

For dozens of miles, the horse could not hold back to run.

At this time Li Zicheng was paying attention to the battle ahead, and for most of the day, people kept reporting the battle situation to him in time. First, Li Guo and Liu Fangliang were defeated, and then Niu Jinxing planned to trap Hao Yaoqi's men in Zhaojiatun, and then Surround but not annihilate, waiting for Ji Dong's men.

This can be regarded as a mutual victory and defeat, and the two armies each suffered casualties.So far, Li Zicheng is quite satisfied with this battle. Of course, he has seen through Niu Jinxing's strategy. If he wants to fight like this, it is still possible.

Li Zicheng was full of expectations. No matter whether Niu Jinxing could trap Ji Dong or not, he was like a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the oriole was behind.At that time, he can charge directly, or go around and attack Ji Dong. At that time, no matter how the battle is fought, the victory will be on his side.

Therefore, Li Zicheng stood still and kept an eye on the battle ahead dozens of miles away.Li Zicheng's strength is very strong. Except for Liu Zongmin who led 1 people to continue to trap Sun Chuanting on the mountain, Gao Guiying's women's battalion was not counted. There were more than 7 people under Li Zicheng's command. I learned that Lin Yi had a total of 6 people. With tens of thousands of people, his 7 people are on standby at any time. Now Li Zicheng is also full of confidence. It is the first time that he has such a big turning point in fighting Lin Yi.

But Li Zicheng did not dare to take it lightly.Because the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, just like the battle in Nanyang more than a year ago, it can be said that the planning was not thorough, and all the elite soldiers and strong generals were also discharged. It was a matter of sure victory, but the result was a miserable defeat.

Therefore, Li Zicheng is not optimistic at all now, even though the current situation on the battlefield ahead is very favorable to him.

He asked Song Xiance, a counselor beside him, "Why don't you make up another hexagram, sir?"

Song Xiance nodded, and shook his head for Li Zicheng again. Li Zicheng looked at Song Jiancheng's face. At first, Song Xiance's face was unrecognizable, as dark as Song Xiaobao, but it finally became gloomy.

"King Chuang, Xiangxi has the aura of an emperor in full swing, but there are some bumps in front of him."

Li Zicheng was taken aback when he heard it, "Sir, I would like to hear more about it."
