Chapter 372 Shang Kexi, who has beaten chicken blood

The soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp were pressed and beaten by the peasant army from Wanqiu Town to Batu Town, and suffered heavy casualties. Thinking of those dead comrades, coupled with the anger they have suffered these days, the eyes of these surviving remnants are red one by one. Since the reinforcements are coming and Li Zicheng's men and horses have also withdrawn, why are they in a hurry to flee for their lives. took advantage of this opportunity to kill this group of thieves and avenge the blood and revenge. Even if you can't kill them, drag this group of people, and when the army of the Iron Overseer arrives, this group of people will be a group of lambs to the slaughter.

Among the soldiers in the Beijing camp, there were not a few people who had this kind of thought, so Qiao Beiming roared, and a group of people who were still in despair just now began to scream. They turned around and launched a counterattack against Wang Yan's soldiers and horses. You must know that Wang Yan had already begun to shrink in preparation for the retreat, and at this time, the soldiers of the Beijing camp suddenly turned around and counterattacked, and the peasant army was caught off guard for a while.

Wang Yan was stunned, did this group of dying soldiers in the Beijing camp take medicine? How is it the same as being beaten with chicken blood? Wang Yan angrily scolded his mother: "This group of things, this is to take revenge...... Brothers withdraw..... Evacuate ....."

At this time, Wang Yan had already put aside the so-called half an hour. If you really hold on for half an hour, the devil knows what will happen?

Qiao Beiming really wanted to entangle Wang Yan's soldiers and horses, but the soldiers and horses were really tired, just relying on morale and anger, the combat effectiveness suddenly broke out, but after chasing the thieves and cutting for a while, he soon couldn't hold on.

Sometimes I really have to admire Wang Yan, this guy is called a gust of wind, and it is not a waste of fame. When it comes to fighting, it may not be very good, but when it comes to retreating, there are really few people who can compare to Wang Yan. Retreat in many ways, in turn, and then all run away. Tiemo and Xu Zhixin arrived late with a large group of people, and they didn't even see the shadow of the peasant army. Qiao Beiming and the others hid in Batu Town with the remnants of the soldiers to gasp, for them, it was like a nightmare.

Xu Zhixin looked at these soldiers in the Beijing camp and was very distressed. 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion, and 10,000 people were left in the end, and if they came a little later, these people also confessed to Batu Town. After this incident, Xu Zhixin also deeply realized how big the gap between the Beijing camp and the border army was. There were only 40,000 elite soldiers of Xuanfu under Tiemo's command, but the Liukou had no power to fight back, while the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Beijing Battalion were guarding Wanqiu Town, but the Liukou was not afraid at all. That Li Zicheng was obviously running for his life, but he dared to run over halfway to pick up the bargain.

The south has been peaceful for a long time, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp have not experienced swords for too long. For them, fighting with the rogues is not necessarily a bad thing. The soldiers of the Beijing camp suffered heavy casualties, Xu Zhixin saw it in her eyes, felt pain in her heart, and thought about the benefits she had obtained from Tiemo before, and felt that it was a little worthless. In the distance, Tiemo found a private house and enjoyed a moment of peace.

With a squeak, someone pushed the door open, and Tiemo was about to squint, but at this time, someone came to disturb him, so he was naturally unhappy. looked at it, pursed his lips, and turned around and lay down again, "Miss Xu, what's the matter?" ”

"The surname is Tie, there is something we have to discuss and discuss, on the basis of the previous negotiation, my Xu family will add one more percent!" Xu Zhixin is very serious, and she has been thinking about it for a long time. It is said that things that are good for negotiation cannot be easily changed, but after seeing the tragic situation of the soldiers of the Beijing camp in Batu Town, she has more thoughts. If you don't want more benefits, how can you be worthy of those dead soldiers in Beijing, these benefits are not for the Xu family, but for the soldiers of Beijing. If you want more benefits, the bereavement allowance for the soldiers in Beijing will increase a lot.

Tie Mo frowned slightly, he didn't feel too surprised, the casualties of the soldiers in the Beijing camp this time were really too heavy, and it was also appropriate to give the Xu family some more benefits. However, there must be a limit to everything, after thinking about it, he sat up, looked at Xu Zhixin with a pair of eyes, and said very seriously: "Miss, Tiemo can promise you this matter, but this is the last time, you have to understand that if this kind of thing changes back and forth, then the cooperation between us will not be able to continue." ”

Is Xu Zhixin the kind of person who doesn't know the severity? She nodded with a heavy expression, "Don't worry, just add one percent, and in the future, Miss Ben will never mention it again." However, those people under Qiao Beiming's command have just experienced a series of fierce battles, and I am afraid that they will not be able to fight with the army for the time being. Next, it's up to you to see the men and horses under your command. ”

"Well, Tie Mou knows this matter in his heart, Qiao Beiming's department can rest for two days, and then send a task two days later. It's just that the Beijing camp should really practice well, and the 30,000 elite of the Beijing camp are ...... Guarding in Wanqiu Town, he was beaten by those gangs of gangsters and had no power to fight back! ”

Tiemo let out a long sigh, and when he said this, he didn't mean to belittle Jingying. The so-called elite of the Beijing camp, the combat effectiveness is really pathetic, if their 30,000 elite soldiers of Yunfu are guarding Wanqiu Town, if those gangs of Liukou dare to rush so headlessly, they would have killed this group of Liukou crying father and mother. Don't talk about the elite soldiers of Xuanfu, let's just say that Liu Ying met the Shaanxi soldiers and horses under his hands, and when he encountered this situation, he was better than the Beijing camp.

Nanjing Jingying, the desertion is too great, this is just a group of rogues, in the final analysis, it is a rabble. If you face the Tartars in the north, it will be even more useless, especially the combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartars, which is far from being comparable to the Liukou.

Xu Zhixin was a little unconvinced, but she didn't know how to refute it. Can the soldiers of the Beijing camp be blamed for this? Even if the Xuanfu border army, which is known as the head of the nine sides, is pulled to the south for more than ten years, it is estimated that the combat effectiveness will plummet. In the south, especially in Suyang, Zhejiang, these places are too fostered, and the people who raise them can't mention swordsmen.

On the side of Batu Town, Tiemo did not rest for too long, and the next day, the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu divided into two armies and pressed towards the west. On the seventeenth day of the first month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the vanguard soldiers and horses arrived at the periphery of Lin'an. As the vanguard of this campaign against the peasant army, Shang Kexi was bent on making military achievements. Seeing that Geng Zhongming's position in the Xuanfu system is becoming more and more stable, if he is not blushing, it will definitely be a lie.

Shang Kexi has always been arrogant, he admits that he is not as smart as Geng Zhongming, but when it comes to charging into battle and fighting in formation, he is much stronger than Geng Zhongming. I wanted to compete with Geng Zhongming, but when I came to Lin'an City, Shang Kexi learned that Gao Yingxiang's main force had withdrawn from Lin'an, and now the main army had arrived in Yuqian.

There are only less than 2,000 thieves in Lin'an City, but Shang Kexi is still not discouraged, the fly legs are also meat, and the credit is small, but you have to eat it first. Without waiting for the main force to arrive, Shang Kexi led people to fight Lin'an City. Sometimes, I really have to admire Shang Kexi, this guy stayed with less than 3,000 vanguard soldiers and horses, and he originally opened the way, but he brazenly started Lin'an City. The peasant army defending the city was also frightened, and if the main force of officers and soldiers gathered, everyone would withdraw as planned. You said that you have less than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and you are storming Lin'an, which has high walls and thick walls, is this a bit too blind.

The leader of the peasant army who stayed in Lin'an City was not a good stubble, it was Liu Zongmin, who had just withdrawn from Taojiaying Village. Liu Zongmin originally planned to get what he meant, but Shang Kexi took such a few people to attack Lin'an City, which immediately stimulated Liu Zongmin. Although he Liu Zongmin has only about 2,000 people under his command, it seems that there are fewer troops, but he has Lin'an City as his backing, which is invisibly equivalent to tens of thousands of more elite soldiers.

Liu Zongmin is not a soft persimmon, he observed the city for a while, waved his right hand wrapped in a white cloth, and shouted loudly: "Bring the rolling wood to Lao Tzu, smash the damn, and let this group of officers and soldiers know how powerful we are......."

Liu Zongmin has never been a good-natured person, since you don't treat me as a person, then I have to teach you how to be a person. For a time, the wind on the city wall of Lin'an was loud, the sound of killing shook the sky, and under the pouring of boiling Mouton oil, the fight was still happy and bitter. The first round of offensive was beaten down without accident, and Shang Kexi even touched the city gate.

However, Liu Zongmin is a little underestimated this time Shang Kexi, Shang Kexi is notoriously stingy, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, as long as Shang Kexi decides to do something, that is, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't stop it. Taking off his helmet, Shang Kexi spat dirty water and roared viciously: "This group of thieves really has two hits, brothers, since the Tongling War, our gang has not had any decent achievements." This time, no matter what, he will take Lin'an City, Lu Zhao, gather the shield soldiers, protect Lao Tzu from the city tree, and knock open the city gate as soon as possible. Concentrate all the muskets and suppress the thieves at the head of the city, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, just with that bit of thieves, can you stop us? ”

Shang Kexi is determined to show his face before the main force arrives, and if he doesn't take down Lin'an City, he will not be a man. Shang Kexi's momentum infected the people around him. If you want to talk about military merits, who doesn't want to take it? As Shang Kexi said, there are now more than 2,000 thieves in Lin'an City, and this is a good opportunity to take credit. Lin'an City, no matter how you say it, it was also the former capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and if you take it here, there will be more ink and color in the credit book.

"General Shang, don't worry, this brother is out of the way, this credit, the brothers will be decided!" Lu Zhao and the others also shouted loudly.

For a while, the officers and soldiers who had just retreated screamed, and not long after, these officers and soldiers began to attack the city again, and it is strange to say that the momentum of this siege was even more fierce than before. At the head of the city, Liu Zongmin saw this situation, and his head was a little wooden. Did this group of officers and soldiers take the wrong medicine? Just suffered a loss, and attacked the city gate like a mad dog, really think that the peasant army brothers at the head of the city are scarecrows?

"Where's tung oil..... Splash it down..... Lao Tzu wants to see if this group of people knows what it means to be afraid...... "Liu Zongmin urged the guards at the head of the city to prepare the things of tung oil rolling wood, and the materials for defending the city in Lin'an City are very sufficient, which Liu Zongmin is very relieved of. Several soldiers boiled the tung oil and were about to fall down, when a series of gunshots rang out, and several peasant army brothers near the outer edge screamed miserably, and they fell directly to the ground.

The leader of the team was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Slow, it's the musket team of the officers and soldiers, damn it..... How did you forget these eight calves? Archer...... Archers, suppress, drive the musketeers out...... We're going to ....."

The leader of the team shouted halfway through the shouting, and then opened his mouth and froze. He raised his head slightly, and watched as something flew up the city, and it was like a big iron ball, but it was just a fireball. The fireball clanged and fell into the pan. The pot is full of boiling oil, and when it hits the fire, the consequences can be imagined.

For a while, the oil pot crackled, and the splashing tung oil fell on the surrounding peasant soldiers with fire. Now in the first month, everyone is still wearing thick clothes, which instantly ignites the clothes.

"Ah..... Yes...... It's on fire, save me...... Mother...... It's burned to death...... Come on...... Run......."

The peasant soldiers near the oil pot were crying and shouting their mothers and scurrying around, and it was too late to hide at this time, who still had the heart to pour the tung oil down. Finally, an oil pot exploded, sparks splashed, oil and water flew wildly, the surrounding peasant army was hit by seedlings, and the officers and soldiers besieging the city were also unlucky. The burst of tung oil carries fire, and it is indistinguishable from friend and foe.

All this fell into Liu Zongmin's eyes, and what he saw was a numb scalp. Who is leading the siege of the city this time? This guy is a ruthless man!

The city was in disarray, and the gates were slammed. In order to protect the crashing wood, the only shield soldiers were all raised in front of the arrows above, and the peasant army was helpless to do anything about it in a short time. Listening to the clattering sounds, I only felt that the city walls were trembling.

Liu Zongmin's heart sank, after the army withdrew from Lin'an, he didn't plan to defend Lin'an City, and he wouldn't have strengthened the city gate, let alone find something to weld the city gate. If you really weld the city gate to death, will it not be a turtle in an urn that will be left behind the palace? Originally, he was thinking about the convenience of retreat, but the fragile city gate became the biggest pain in Liu Zongmin's heart.

With this strength, within half an hour, the gates of the city would fall apart.

"Grandma, did I Liu encounter a mad dog this time?" Liu Zongmin really can't figure it out, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin'an City is full of officers and soldiers sooner or later, leaving the soldiers and horses behind, which means that you wait a little, I will withdraw. You say why are you so ignorant, you have to be hard-handed.

"Leader Liu..... Let's withdraw, the city gate is about to fall apart, if we are entangled by this gang of mad dogs, as soon as the main force of officers and soldiers arrives, we can't withdraw even if we want to! ”

At this time, Liu Zongmin didn't have the heart to be angry with the other party, and it was really not worth it to put his life on the line for the sake of gambling. Waving his hand and looking out of the city hatefully, he finally said angrily: "Withdraw, open the west city gate, let's go, these mad dogs, are you sick?" ”

In Liu Zongmin's view, the other party is sick. Can you take Lin'an City without spending a single soldier and fly desperately, isn't this sick? But where did Liu Zongmin know Shang Kexi's hope for military merits, for the sake of military merits, let alone 2,000 people, even 8,000 people guarding Lin'an City, then dare to try to fight a dozen. Shang Kexi believes in four words in this life, and things are man-made.

Liu Zongmin withdrew, and Shang Kexi finally broke through the city gate and entered the city, Shang Kexi pouted with disdain, "Count you fast, otherwise Lao Tzu will have to chop you." ”

An hour later, when Tiemo's main army came to Lin'an City, looking at the scene in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a while. The little soldiers and horses in Shang Kexi's hand took down Lin'an City like this?
