After a while, there was a great earthquake in the city, and the generals of all departments returned to the camp to mobilize before the battle, and under the order of the governor, they could open Baoding to suppress the thieves, and they could not hand over the thieves privately......

Several horses rode fast horses to Xushui City, thirty miles to the northeast, "the governor has an order, he can drive south to suppress the thieves, and the spoils of war will not go into the treasury, and the meritorious deeds will be rewarded."

Li Yan, who gathered the army early in the morning to wait for the order, was also shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, after the order was sent to all the departments, the morale of the soldiers was unprecedentedly high, and everyone knew that Li Zicheng was rich in wealth, and if he won this battle, as long as he did not die, he would definitely make a fortune.

After a little mobilization, Li Yan immediately ordered to pull out, leaving 500 guards in Xushui, the red lady sat in Dingxing, and the rest were all thrown into this battle, and more than 10,000 people sent troops to Baoding City.

"General Li, how sure are you of this battle?" Wu Weiying has been a little more courageous since she traveled outside the Guan, and she led the Shenji Battalion to help in the battle, and walked side by side with Li Yan, and her expression was as usual.

"The dragon and the tiger are fighting, and it is not known who will kill the deer, and it depends on who has the higher means!" Li Yan smiled faintly, and Wu Weiying couldn't help but shudder: "Life and death are half against half, this ......" The face will turn pale.

Li Yan glanced at him: "The little overseer killed the Tartars outside the gate, which time was not nine deaths, and in the end it was not the Tartars who were killed, this time half to half grasp, what is the Hou Ye afraid of?" ”

"Fear ...... What are you afraid of, what is Ben Hou afraid of, the Shenji Battalion under Ben Hou has made great achievements outside the pass, and killing Tartars is like cutting grass mustard, not to mention these bandits, hum ......"

Li Yan smiled slightly: "That's it, oh yes, I heard that the Shenji Battalion will soon be under the command of Dongchang, I don't know if it?" ”

"Ah, who did you listen to, the little overseer told you?" Wu Weiying was stunned, if the Shenji Battalion was accepted by the East Factory, he would really be the commander of the light pole.

Li Yan smiled and galloped his horse: "It doesn't matter who the Shenji Battalion is with, the important thing is to be able to fight."

"Of course...... Wu Weiying patted his horse to chase: "The magic of the magic machine camp is useless......"

Overnight, Chang Yu sneaked back to the north of Baoding City from Zhending Mansion through the line of fire, mobilized two people from the northwest to send troops to aid Baoding City, and at the same time Baoding City's Shi Kefa got his secret letter agreement, and ordered all the troops to prepare for war in the city and wait for the time to move.

The three sides stretched their bows and arrows, and the war was about to break out.

Here, Chang Yu dispatched troops, Li Zicheng on the bank of the Qingshui River was idle again, and discussed with a group of ministers and generals until the early morning Hao Shaoqi Zhang Nai led 10,000 troops to attack the city, Liu Fangliang, Gu Ying, Gao Yigong gathered 30,000 horses to break through Li Yan's defense line, and Liu Zongmin led the remaining thieves to comprehensively besiege Baoding City.

Today, not only the city will be broken, but also the defense line of the officers and soldiers will be broken, and his ridiculous and vulnerable so-called heaven and earth will be torn apart.

Early the next morning, Li Zicheng ordered all units to make fires and make food to mobilize for war, saying that after breaking the city, in addition to not killing people, they could plunder for a day, and the army's heart was really boiling.

The thieves have always claimed to be the army of justice, and they only torture the rich gentry when they break the city, and do not disturb the civilians, at least on the surface, and this sudden order seems extremely unusual.

But why?

First, Baoding City was persuaded to surrender for a few days, and the city guards were determined not to surrender, which made him extremely angry and had to take revenge.

Second, the displaced people in the south are in turmoil, and he needs to use a little means to kill chickens and monkeys and beat those displaced people, and it is better to keep to themselves and be honest, otherwise just like the people of Baoding City, life and death are determined by Lao Tzu's words.

The soldiers were dispatched, and the spies went first, although a fire was being made here, and the thief army had sent a large number of spies to stare at every move of the officers and soldiers.

Li Zicheng, who was in the tent and Niu Jinxing and other subordinates who repeatedly confirmed the tactics, soon got a report, and the officers and soldiers moved!

At dawn, a force of more than 1,000 people came from Dingxing to Xushui City, including the heavy cavalry, and then the officers and soldiers spies around.

Li Yan, Li Yan, you are really cautious, Li Zicheng squinted his eyes and scolded secretly, he knew this former subordinate too well, he was alert, he must have felt something, he personally went to the front line to sit in town, and under the guise of the little eunuch's heavy armored cavalry, he wanted to mistake himself into thinking that the little eunuch was so jealous that he didn't dare to act rashly, hehehe, ridiculous!

Li Zicheng didn't know that his speculation was not at all, thinking that Li Yan's bluff was ignored at the moment and the generals made a final determination, Tanma reported urgently, and the heavy armored cavalry of the officers and soldiers broke to the city of Baoding, and was stationed on the river side of the west of the city, Bai Guangen and Chen Yongfu found out, the two sides fought fiercely, the rebel army came out of the camp, and the officers and soldiers fled to the northwest of the city............

Again! Li Zicheng felt that the situation was not as simple as he thought before, the last time this heavy armored cavalry went to Baoding City was when the officers and soldiers in the north first came, and the identity of the little eunuch was also exposed.

This time the big battle is about to break down the city and go around the city in a circle, so why?

"Li Yan moved repeatedly, it seems that he has been shocked that we are going to do it, first go to the city and then go west to the city, as expected, it is a joint internal and external preparation to face the battle, today I am afraid that there will be a hard battle to fight" Niu Jinxing goatee stroked, and said a word.

"You're wrong" Li Zicheng sneered and shook his head: "It's not a big war, it's three big wars, Lao Tzu doesn't care if he sees through it or not, he has to send the arrow on the string, that is, he has set up a posture This battle still has to be fought, so he will start the war according to the original plan, one will attack the city, one will attack Xushui Dingxing, one will attack Baoding City, Lao Tzu will have three big battles and win every game."

Li Zicheng's pride drove the mood of the thieves to be high, and they shouted to set foot on Baoding City and go north to catch the emperor's old son.

Liu Zongmin shouted even more: "Liu Fangliang, don't kill Li Yan at once, and help you kill that kid immediately after Lao Tzu breaks the city, so that he will regret being a traitor." In other words, the destruction of Baoding City is a matter of raising hands.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the thieves divided into three routes to Mancheng, Xushui and Baoding City, Hao Shaoqi and Liu Fangliang's men and horses marched towards the target, and Liu Zongmin led tens of thousands of soldiers to surround Baoding City, and ordered cannon fodder to erect pontoon bridges to carry baggage to prepare for the siege.

Li Zicheng led his troops to the south moat of the city, that is, the Qingshui River, to supervise the battle, and saw the panicked appearance of the officers and soldiers in the city, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "If you don't wait, you will take the blame, and after the city is broken, you will definitely wait for the corpses to be broken into thousands of pieces......

Bang...... Before the words fell, several loud noises were deafening, and the officers and soldiers in the city actually opened fire!

After a feint attack for several days, the officers and soldiers in the city have been calm and do not fire a single shot, but today they took the initiative to open fire, Li Zicheng was shocked and couldn't help laughing: "There is a kind, there is a kind!" ”

Shi Kefa on the city was covered in armor, and the thief army surrounded the city with angry eyes, and swept away the sadness of the past, and said proudly: "The generals listen to my order, defend the four gates to the southwest, and wait for reinforcements to go out of the city and go straight to the thief cave!" ”

"Straight to the thief cave" The generals roared angrily, and Ling Ran's anger led the people under the city to unite and immediately echoed: "Kill the thief acropolis......"

The sound spread for several miles, once covering up the sound of cannons, which made the thieves outside the city frightened, Li Zicheng shrugged: "The momentum is quite strong, but I don't know if it really resists the beating."

The officers and soldiers struck first, shelled the bandit army on the side of the moat, and prevented it from crossing the river, but it was in Li Zicheng's arms, these are cannon fodder, and the more he dies, the easier it will be,

Outside the city, Liu Zongmin ordered the thief army to counterattack, bombarded the city with heavy artillery, and added dozens of hundreds of trebuchets to fire together, the momentum was unparalleled for a while, and ordered the cannon fodder to go straight forward to build a bridge to cross the river, while raising a whip and pointing at the head of the city with a smile: "After the city is broken, Lao Tzu will go all over the wives and daughters of those big men every day, and he will not let go of any ......of them."

The siege has begun!

"General, general, there is a fight in the north" A herald hurriedly came to report, Liu Zongmin was stunned, Bai Guangen hit the west gate, Chen Yongfu hit the north gate, and he sat at the south gate, he hadn't crossed the river yet, Chen Yongfu was one step ahead of him?

Under careful questioning, he said that Liu Fangliang's army encountered the main force of Li Yanbu twenty miles north of Baoding City, and the enemies saw each other very blindly, and they started fighting directly without saying a word!

The officers and soldiers died no more than 20,000 horses over there, but Liu Fangliang led an army of 30,000 and there were many cannon fodder, although Liu Fangliang was defeated in the previous two encounters, Li Yan did not take much advantage, not to mention that they were all cannon fodder main battles before, and this time they were fought with the main force, I am afraid that Li Yan will not be able to hold on to one round, Liu Zongmin thought that he was a little jealous, and even ordered his subordinates to accelerate the attack, how could Liu Fangliang's kid rob him of any limelight.

Is it really so easy, when Li Zicheng got the report, but raised his eyebrows, he knew Li Yan's cautious character, Xu Shui is more than 40 miles away from Baoding, Liu Fangliang will encounter it within 20 miles, Li Yan dares not to guard Xu Shui, not to keep Dingxing, take the initiative to go into danger and go deep into the fierce battle I am afraid it is not so simple.

"What formation is Li Yan's dog thief?" Li Zicheng asked carefully.

The spies reported: "The soldiers are divided into three roads and separated by two miles, and all the cavalry"

All cavalry? Li Zicheng secretly screamed badly, and immediately led his own troops to the north, Liu Fangliang is very likely to fall for Li Yan's tricks, the two fought three times before, Li Yan used the vanguard cavalry to provoke his front, and the main infantry was behind...... That is to say, his main force was infantry before, and now it is all cavalry, this dog thief is extremely treacherous, and he has set up a set early on to deliberately show weakness and paralyze the opponent......
