Li Guo, how did they know that in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers, Chang Yu put in a lot of work inside and out, how much money he spent, and even specially brought Xiong Tong Chen Shangzhi to act as a professional black fan to brainwash the soldiers, plus temptation and intimidation, just to let the soldiers remember one thing! Rushing forward is the only way to live!

Knock knock, suddenly the drums in the city vibrated loudly, getting tighter and tighter, and the faces of Li Guo and the others suddenly turned black!

It turned out to be so despicable! What a good move this dead eunuch played! The three of them pointed at Chang Yu at the same time in their hearts, because they saw the scene they were most willing to see, and suddenly a wave of people and horses poured out in Jiaocheng, endlessly, I don't know how much!

It turns out that people have always reserved a hand, and they didn't do their best, just waiting for their own tiredness to slam a blow.

The same people and horses are already indistinguishable, and they have even seen a disadvantage, and now the other party has suddenly joined a new force......

Mingjin retreats!

Li Guo made a decisive decision.

Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji, who took their own soldiers to kill a circle from the enemy formation and returned safely to the battle, looked at each other and smiled, this battle was the first battle between the thieves and the officers and soldiers after crossing the Yellow River eastward, and they returned home!

As far as the officers and men are concerned, this is definitely a great news to raise morale and boost the morale of the people!

Collect the troops!

After the enemy retreated, Zhou Yuji also ordered the troops to be withdrawn, and he did not chase after him for three reasons.

The first soldier is exhausted, second, the poor Kou Mo chases, it is obvious that the thief army is also prepared today, and I don't know if the other party has a backhand, third, the purpose of this battle has been achieved, although he failed to stab the other party secretly, but the open cut also made him see blood.

In this battle, the Ming army won one game first and narrowly won one move.

The thieves retreated, leaving countless corpses and wounded soldiers crying miserably on the battlefield, while the already tired officers and soldiers did not have time to rest and were frantically harvesting the heads of the thief army!

After all, a thief's head is worth ten taels of silver, and now in a fierce battle, there is no effort to cut off the head with his life, and now in an instant, a swarm of bees began to rob wildly, and even caused a brawl.

Zhou Yuji frowned, and immediately ordered a team of men and horses to maintain order, save the wounded, and count the casualties.

And at this time, Chang Yu was also counting his losses in the open space next to the battlefield!

"Report to your lordship, 274 people were injured, 47 people were injured...... Missing! ”

Duan Wuhu quickly reported it, and Chang Yu's face was solemn.

In total, more than 300 people participated in the fighting, all of them were injured, and 47 people are still unknown in their lives.

It's still too tender, Chang Yu sighed secretly, you must know that his men and horses are all cavalry, and when they enter the battlefield, they all fight with the infantry of the thief army, almost all of them are crushed, only when they encounter Hao Shaoqi's own soldiers, it is considered a horse battle, but in just one time, he lost half a hundred people, it is really terrifying!

The missing one may not be dead, Chang Yu immediately sent someone to look for him on the battlefield, but he was also prepared in his heart, in that case, once he was injured and left alone in the thief army, it was almost impossible to survive.

The battlefield is still being cleaned up, the casualties are still being counted, Chang Yu returned to Jiaocheng with his own soldiers, and saw that he personally helped them bandage their wounds one by one, which made the soldiers moved.

However, this new factory official did it naturally, which is an instinct for Chang Yu, and he is good at it.

Hao Shaoqi's slash caused a lot of damage to Chang Yu's arms, and he was almost exhausted for a while to resist that blow.

After the examination, it was found that although there was no dislocation or bone crack, but his shoulders were already swollen, Fang San helped him carefully wipe the bruises, he didn't care in his own heart, the knife wounds could heal quickly, this kind of drizzle, it was just a temporary pain.

Zhou Yuji and the others also returned to the city to wait for the casualty report, of course, there is more important things to do, that is, how to deal with the next storm of thieves.

Fooling people for seven or eight days, when you were about to marry and enter the door, you showed your knife and said that you were also a leader, which was absolutely unforgivable and unacceptable for the infatuated Li Zicheng.

What will he do?

It's very simple, wave the army north, defeat Taiyuan City, and capture Chang Yu and others alive!

"When the disparity in strength with the opponent is too large, and you can't brute force hard connection, you need to know how to unload the force, and there is a common tactic in horse warfare is usually a killing move after a blow, either a backstab or a backcut, which is also the most difficult to prevent and the easiest to get a move......"

After Zhou Yuji checked Chang Yu's arm, he picked up the long knife next to him and gave Chang Yu a practice while explaining.

One teaches seriously and the other listens very seriously, on the ground, Chang Yu can knock down Zhou Yuji with various moves, but he knows that once he gets on the horse, he is afraid that he will still be defeated with one move.

Before today, he was still full of self-confidence, but he didn't believe in evil, and felt that although he might not be able to win when he got on the horse, it was definitely not so ugly to lose!

However, the reality is very slap in the face, and there is a specialization in the technique, which is like the mouth cannon out of the octagon cage can be beaten by Mercerway, but in the octagon cage, I am afraid that Mercerway can be abused by the mouth cannon in minutes.

Today, Chang Yu's biggest shame is that he was almost abused by Hao Shaoqi!

The two practiced in the courtyard for half a day, and it was already noon, Niu Yong, Wang Yongkui and others had come back to report the casualties, and the battlefield was still being cleaned up.

The so-called cleaning up of the battlefield generally only disposes of the corpses of their own people, and the enemy allows them to expose their corpses, causing some wild dogs and birds to spoil them, and it is okay in winter, but if it is midsummer...... This is one of the main reasons why plagues often occur after major wars.

But Chang Yu has a hobby, he likes to be a Jingguan, using the corpse of the thief army, and the location is next to the official road in Erli, south of Jiaocheng.

The work of exhuming the earth and burying the corpse is naturally handed over to the captives to do, and it is clear that death can be avoided after the work is done, believe it or not!

The logistics troops in the city began to make fires to rebel, helping the wounded and sick to be bandaged with medicine, while the troops outside the city gathered and began to receive the silver!

Say reward, pay in cash! There is no middleman to make the difference directly, which makes the soldiers who were still desperate at the edge of the knife just now feel that it is worth it, what are they killing the enemy for, that's all.

If you only reward according to the first rank, it will inevitably be unfair, so Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji discussed a team award according to the heroism of which team, so that the soldiers who participated in the battle could get silver!

100,000 taels! Bai Huahua's 100,000 taels of silver were smashed out, and even Zhou Yuji, Niu Yong and others felt incredible, and their flesh hurt, and they felt that Chang Yu was simply wasting, because it might cost 100,000 taels to add the head prize plus the team award and the compensation and pension of the dead and wounded soldiers.

What's more, the pension is generally allocated after being reported and verified and approved by the imperial court, but now it's okay, Chang Yu directly reserves it, and everything is doubled.

"Not bad money!"

Chang Yuli said the next sentence, and behind him was the cheers of tens of thousands of soldiers.

He knows too well how to stimulate morale and fighting spirit, what are the soldiers in these years for, money and food women!

That's all, few people have the noble spirit of protecting the family and defending the country, and it is still the most real woman with money and food!

On the county hall in Wenshui City, Li Zicheng smashed the whole house, and the wine cups and teapots were all over the ground, and it was still difficult to understand the hatred in his heart!

Although I was mentally prepared and conscious, I was led to follow the rhythm obediently in the past few days because of that trace of luck and expectation.

Well, now that it's dawn and I have seen each other, the officers and soldiers really took him to play for a few days!

You are so blind that you are so distracted, but you say that it is ...... to act on the spot.

Uncle Ren and Aunt couldn't bear it, after Li Zicheng smashed it, he immediately ordered the soldiers to make a fire to make food, and sent troops to attack Jiaocheng in the afternoon, approaching Taiyuan City!

At this time, the officers and soldiers of Jiaocheng had already finished their meals and began to transfer troops in an orderly manner.

"Baochanggong, half an hour ago, the thief army in Wenshui City has moved, and a large number of spies have been sent north to fight with our people, and at the same time, a small group of people have been dispatched everywhere, and those displaced people who have been coerced by the thief army have also begun to go north......"

At the head of the city in the south, Li Xingzu reported to Chang Yu the actions of the bandit army in the south.

"Angry!" Zhou Yuji sneered: "Blind Li is angry"

Chang Yu's face was solemn: "Use this trick again!" ”

Zhou Yuji was stunned: "Which move?" ”

"Open the way with the homeless and retain your strength!" The thief army has always done this, Chang Yu exhaled, stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, Li Zicheng's trick is simple and practical, but it gives the opponent a headache, kill it, end up with the infamy of killing innocents, lose the hearts of the people, and it will also consume your own combat power and war materials, don't kill it, that is the leading sheep, the pioneer!

"Does the factory have a good plan?" Zhou Yuji also felt a headache, and he knew it well.

"Nope!"

Chang Yu replied very simply!

"Report to the lord, the vanguard of the thief army has sent troops from Jiaocheng, because it is difficult for subordinates to approach, and the strength is ......unknown."

The spies will report back at 2 p.m.

"It's time to withdraw!" Zhou Yuji said lightly to Chang Yu.

The previous injuries had already retreated in advance, and at this time the men and horses in the city were enough to fight again, but not here, according to the strategic arrangement, they had to abandon the city and retreat several miles to the fortifications on the river bank to meet the enemy.

The Ming army began to retreat outside the city, looking at the people and horses rushing out of the north gate and the east gate, Zhou Yuji took a deep breath, turned his head and said to a personal soldier beside him: "Take someone to set fire!" ”

He wants to clear the wilderness and burn the city!

"Wait!"

Chang Yu, who was beside him, suddenly waved his hand to stop, "Mr. Zhou, this is ......"

"The factory is moved by compassion," Zhou Yuji looked at Chang Yudao.

Chang Yu nodded: "It's burned, what should I do after the war, how many people are homeless."

Zhou Yuji shook his head with a wry smile: "At this time, it is freezing cold, even if I don't order it to be burned, it will eventually be dismantled by the thief army to make a fire for warmth, and he is an enemy, why not leave him in ruins."

"This ......" Chang Yu said, overlooking this small city, a few simple streets, and hundreds of uneven houses, but it is indeed a home in the hearts of countless people.

Seeing that Chang Yu didn't speak, Zhou Yuji gave his pro-soldier a look and motioned him to carry it out.

Soon, smoke rose from the city, and the flames soared into the sky......
