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

Chapter 81
Under the eyes of everyone, Lin Yi killed Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu, not only for himself, but also for the Ming Dynasty to get rid of two traitors.

The [-] Tianxiong Army and the [-] Ningyuan Army present at the scene were originally two major military groups that fought for each other, but now they all became spectators.

What shocked them was not only Ji Dong's dual identity, but also his unique killing technique and superhuman courage.

The majestic deputy chief soldier and military officer, the official of the court, was killed by an insignificant subordinate like this. The power of the factory guard was too terrifying. For a while, everyone could only feel awe.

Especially those soldiers of the Ningyuan Army, who were afraid that they would be involved in this matter, wanted to keep a respectful distance, avoid speaking, and kept silent.

The personal guards of Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu, as well as a few of their cronies participated in the guerrilla warfare, fearing that Lin Yi would take them under the knife, they had already greased the soles of their feet and sneaked away.

Of course Lin Yi knew what the Ningyuan Army was thinking, so he hurriedly said: "These two rebellious officials and thieves have already subdued the law. This matter is all done by them, and it has nothing to do with you soldiers of the Ningyuan Army. As long as you are loyal to your duties and loyal to Daming , Kill a few more Tartars, Lin Yi can guarantee that nothing implicated will happen this time."

"Master Lin is wise. We will follow Master Lin's teachings, and we will do our best to serve Daming until we die." The soldiers of the Ning Yuan Army heard that they were really wise adults, and immediately shouted out their hearts.

Lin Yi's heart moved, and he nodded quickly: "Until the imperial court's order and the governor's order arrive, you will be temporarily led by the guerrilla general Zu Keyong."

This is an army with strong combat effectiveness. The chief general and the deputy generals have all been punished. Lin Yi wanted to hold this army in his hands, but it was not easy to declare that it would be directly under his command, so he thought of his right-hand man.

Of course, Zu Keyong is the most suitable candidate for the commander of this army, because Zu Keyong used to be the guerrilla general of their Ningyuan Army. The military knows best.

2000 General Ningyuan replied in unison: "We will follow Master Lin's order and are willing to obey General Zu Keyong's orders."

Lin Yi was secretly happy. Not only did Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu get rid of the two scumbags, but he also recruited his 2000 soldiers from the Ningyuan Army at zero cost. You have to listen to Ji Dong, the relationship between him and the general and lieutenant of the Zook Warriors, in this way, it means that these 2000 people have to listen to Ji Dong.

This is not an ordinary army, but the famous Ningyuan Army, and it is all cavalry, a veritable Guan Ning Iron Cavalry!

With such an army firmly in hand, why not do something in this troubled world at the end of Ming Dynasty?Even if there is a break with the ruined court that is about to subjugate the country in the future, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Having such an army is the capital of one's own foothold in troubled times. Warlords of all walks of life, such as rogue Tartars, red-haired Tsarist Russians and other invaders, can bargain with them, and power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi was filled with passion, and then asked Zu Keyong to reorganize this army. The so-called reorganization was just to eliminate the influence of Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu, remove their confidants, and cultivate his own confidants.

Zu Keyong is the old guerrilla general of the Ningyuan Army. Once Lin Yi instructed him, he knew what to do.Specifically, the defense of the East Day Camp is still handed over to Zu Keyong's 2000 men for defense.

After Lin Yi finished his instructions, he took the 800-day army back to the west camp. Wang Jian led the 800-day army to greet him at the gate of the camp.

The two camps are ten miles apart, forming horns, and Wang Jian was ordered by Lin Yi to invite Zu Keyong to have a drink in the East Camp. Wang Jian guessed Lin Yi's plan, and he came to the West Camp to meet him. After Zu Keyong, after Zu Keyong left with his entourage, Wang Jian sent out spies to keep an eye on the situation in the East Day Camp. In case Lin Yi and the others lost, his hundreds of people were ready to rescue at any time. Later, it was reported that Lin Yi took control of the situation, not only killed Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu, but also recruited the two thousand Ningyuan troops, and there was no large-scale struggle between the two sides.

Wang Jian secretly pointed his thumb in his heart and praised them, their Lord Lin is really a general.Not only brave, but also resourceful.It is easy to charge forward and strategize. Such a person must have a limitless future.

When Lin Yi returned to the West Camp, the Tianxiong Army increased to 1600, and Zu Keyong’s Ningyuan Army in the East Camp had 2000 people. Now the two camps have a total of more than 3000 people, and they are all elites, and the generals are at odds. It no longer exists, and it is all under the command and dispatch of Lin Yi, and it has become a monolithic one.

This time, Ji Dong had a solid foundation in his heart.These 3600 people, including the Ningyuan Army and Tianxiong Army, each of them counts as ten. If the Tartars jump over the wall in a hurry, if they attack these two camps again, they will be able to kill them all.

Under Lin's leadership, thousands of soldiers from the two large camps in Qianxi waited in full force, and then trained their troops every day, and sent spies to watch the movements of the Tartars.

As soon as Lin Yi calculated the time, Zhang Hua and the others had been away for three or four days. Zunhua is not too far away, so there should be news. How is the battle in Zunhua going?Has the governor ever received his seal letter, why hasn't he responded yet?
Fearing that Zhang Hua and the others made a mistake, Lin Yi immediately sent someone to Zunhua to investigate the situation...

The big camp of the Tartars a few miles away.

Azig and Amin successively invested 3 horses to put out the fire. When it was getting dark, the fire was extinguished, but only a few thousand of the 10 dan of grain and grass remained, and the rest were all reduced to ashes.The six Niulu Tartars guarding the grain depot, with more than 1000 troops, suffered heavy casualties.

There are more than 3 horses, plus more than 2 horses led by Tan Tai who attacked Zunhua, and more than 6 horses. How much food and grass will be consumed in a day when people eat and feed horses?
But now there are less than 1 loads of grain and grass left, and they can eat for three days at most. After three days, if there is no grain and grass, they will have to drink northwest wind.One meal or two, one or two days, if there is no food and grass, within three days these tens of thousands of horses will be in chaos without a fight, or even mutiny will disappear.

Not to mention that Zunhua is still fighting fiercely, and they got the news that on the battlefield of Zunhua, the Tartars have completely gained the upper hand, and all the strongholds outside Zunhua City have been removed. Tan Tai is commanding a large number of Tartars to attack Zunhua City, winning Just around the corner.However, if there is no supply of food and grass in the rear, the 2-strong army will be shaken, and it will become a tree without roots and water without a source.Don't say that you can't win Zunhua, you will definitely lose the battle.

The consequences are too serious...

Therefore, Azig had nowhere to vent his anger, and beheaded Buzar, the chief general guarding the grain depot, in a fit of anger. Jiala Ezhen, the Tartar, was more or less a mid-level military officer in the Qing Dynasty, so he became a scapegoat. I had to go to Lord Hades to cry for injustice.

But they had to face the next problem, even though he and Amin mentioned that Lin Yi was gnashing his teeth, the enemy was right in front of him, but he couldn't take revenge with his eyes wide open.

Because they had to find a way to solve the problem of feeding tens of thousands of horses, and they did not dare to attack the Qianxi camp of the Ming army rashly.

In the Changping, Shunyi, and Xifengkou areas, although they occupied many cities, they have already been looted by them. Except for the common people and belongings they captured, the rest of the common people fled dead and fled without any oil or water to bomb.

Azig took most of the food and grass looted by the Tartars when he marched eastward with more than 7 horsemen, and a small part was left, which could only be used to garrison Changping, Shunyi and Xifengkou. The more than 1 Tatars used it for a few days, and there was not much room for it.

In other words, it is now impossible to transport food from the rear.

The three days basically coincided with the time when their brigade retreated from this area to Changping.In other words, if they can't raise food and grass, they have to pull the troops to withdraw now, otherwise they may run out of food for the army!
Azig and Amin were running around in a hurry.Just like this, they took the brigade away, and the battle was too useless. After discussing with Amin, Azig immediately ordered his subordinates to raise food on the spot.

But how easy is it to raise food locally?Now it is after autumn, the destruction and looting of the war, the meager harvest of food has long since disappeared, and the people in this area have long since run away, and they have robbed this area long ago.Therefore, the men and horses sent out have little gain in one day.

In desperation, they decided to send their troops farther away. The next day, they sent 1 Tartar cavalry, but when they came back at night, the pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, and grain piled up were not enough for their [-] Tartars. One day's consumption, this is called making ends meet.

In this way, it dragged on for another two days. Azig and Amin felt that they could not go on any longer and had to withdraw their troops. However, the battle in Zunhua was still not over. They had to issue an order to retreat across the board, and the time was set at the latest. Tomorrow morning, while sending people to pack up and prepare to retreat, they also sent people to Tan Tai in Zunhua to secretly send the deadline for the retreat...

The line of sight returned to Zunhua.

Governor-General Lu Xiangsheng sent Lin Yi and Zu Keyong with 2000 Tianxiong troops to assist Zu Kuan who had moved to the west. After Lin Yi and the others left, Lu Xiangsheng led 5000 Tatars to defend Zunhua.

The ancient city of Zunhua is an important military town, which can be called a high city and a deep pool.However, Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses are too limited. With only 5000 Tianxiong troops left, he faced five times as many enemies. After inspection, he decided to jointly defend inside and outside the city.

Therefore, two strongholds were set up outside Zunhua City, namely the left city and the right city platform outside Zunhua City.

These two strongholds did not have favorable terrain, but they mobilized their own soldiers and horses to build a new eight-foot-high platform, and the building materials were local civil stones.

Thousands of people rushed to work day and night. After the two high platforms were completed, Liu Chongzhen, the chief military officer, and Luo Dai, the deputy chief military officer, each led 1500 troops to garrison. small town.

Among the 3000 troops in Zunhua City, Lu Xiangsheng personally commanded the defense of the city.

The three strongholds are roughly in the shape of Pin, with Zunhua City as the main one, and the two left and right strongholds as supplementary ones. When they are attacked by the Tartars, they can support each other.In order to reduce their mutual pressure and disperse the troops of the Tartars.

Lu Xiangsheng's move was very clever, but as soon as they divided the troops into three groups, Gao Qiqian arrived, Mr. Supervising Army.

Lu Xiangsheng hated this eunuch very much, he was really not a man, not only physically flawed, but also spiritually twisted.Greedy, treacherous, selfish, and even a little perverted.

Since he became the supervisor for himself, he either came to ask for things from himself, or he was holding back everywhere.He meddles everywhere in terms of soldiers, horses, money and food, and even how to fight battles and how to dispatch troops. He has to dictate, but he doesn't understand military affairs at all, and he is completely blindly directing.

Of course Lu Xiangsheng can't listen to him, the two of them are in the same bed and different dreams, Lu Xiangsheng sometimes disagrees, because a horse quarrels with him, because a robe bestowed by the emperor also quarrels with him, everything that Gao Qiqian likes, Lu Xiangsheng I would rather destroy it than give it to him.How many times Gao Qiqian was so angry that his face turned pale and he walked away.

Now that the great eunuch came again, Lu Xiangsheng knew that nothing good would happen when he came, but he had to greet him politely out of face.

Gao Qi subtly smiled, and after sitting down, he said two things, one was the ambush outside Yuyang City, although the defeat turned into victory in the end, the emperor was furious.The main reason is that the emperor did not approve of his sending troops to Yuyang, and pulled the main force to Zunhua, leaving only a few thousand people in Yuyang.I hope he knows how to turn back when he is lost, retreats quickly, abandons Zunhua, and defends Yuyang with all his strength.

Lu Xiangsheng argued hard, but Gao Qiqian's pale face darkened, saying that he was completely thinking of him, if he didn't listen to good advice, the Holy One would be furious, and he, Lu Xiangsheng, would take full responsibility.

Lu Xiangsheng ignored him, knowing that these capitulators were soft-boned, and they made irresponsible remarks in front of Emperor Chongzhen, making the emperor's ears soft again.

Then Gao Qiqian said the second thing. The death of Lu Ming has already aroused Dongchang's idea. Eunuch Cao has already said that he wants to investigate this matter thoroughly. In the middle, I hope he and Ji Dong are both ready.

After finishing speaking, Gao Qiqian walked away in a huff.

Lu Xiangsheng's mind was buzzing, and it was impossible for him to give up Zunhua and return to Yuyang.Now the main force of the Tartars is not in the Yuyang area, but in Zunhua, in Qianxi, with the intention of Yongping. If I withdraw my troops, the Tartars will inevitably drive straight in, and Lin Yi and Zu Keyong will also have to withdraw, otherwise thousands of soldiers will be killed. The entire army will be wiped out, but if they all withdraw, what will the people in Zunhua Qianxi and Yongping do?
What troubled him even more was the second thing Gao Qiqian said.Lu Ming was his personal bodyguard, and his real identity was a spy of the factory guard. Lin Yi killed him.Lu Xiangsheng has crossed the sea to hide it, and now it seems that he can't hide it.

The people from the factory guards came, and they definitely couldn't tell the difference. They took him and Lin Yi away for review. They made a big fuss about this matter, and they must set themselves and Lin Yi as prisons, and use this method to remove their children. stumbling block.

It is not a pity for him to die, to serve the court loyally, or to die in a temple, or to be shrouded in horse leather, these two results are nothing more than these two results, he has long since ignored him, he only hopes that the emperor can understand him, he believes in him, and proves his loyalty by death , is also worthwhile.

It's just that Lin Yi, a rising star in the army, has made such great contributions, but has not received the slightest reward from the emperor, and now he has to be killed by a traitor, taking his life for nothing, which is really a pity.

After thinking about it, Lu Xiangsheng made a bold decision: the general will be outside, and the king's fate will not be tolerated!

Lu Xiangsheng went all out, anyway, he couldn't fight Gao Qiqian, Yang Sichang and other capitulators, he led his soldiers to fight against the Tartars outside, and these capitulators only relied on intrigue, flattery, and lip service, but they were able to win the favor of the emperor, alas, sad Yay!

I would rather die in battle than die in West Market!
On the day Gao Qiqian left, Lu Xiangsheng's men got into trouble with the Tartars.The more than 2 horses who came were the Tartars led by Tan Tai, and they were coming fiercely.
