The rebels must have suffered a serious loss of morale in the first battle, and with the constant rain, they must have had to rest in the tent tonight.

The point is that these idiots actually set up the camp at the door of Zhilin County, which is simply self-defeating.

Such a God-given opportunity, if you don't go out for a night attack, I'm sorry for such a thoughtful arrangement by the rebels.

"My lord, I am willing to lead my headquarters out of the city and attack at night!"

"Willing to do it!"

"Willing to do it!"

A group of leaders have asked for their lives, everyone is not stupid, the rebel lord will suffer this defeat, the army's heart is already unstable, the night attack can be said to be a safe and winning deal, who does not go is stupid.

"Okay, tonight, two thousand troops will be dispatched, and everyone will travel lightly to kill them while the rebels are asleep!" Chen Ziqian said excitedly: "Now go and clean up the battlefield first, and bring back the ten catapults for me, this thing is a big weapon to defend the city." ”

The generals under his command quickly launched an action, and the rebels lost more than 6,000 people in this battle, and only more than 200 on the Zhilin County side.

With a casualty ratio of almost 30 to 1, this is definitely an unprecedented battle, which is enough for Chen Ziqian to leave his name in history.

Of course, Li Tongyuan's name is also destined to be remembered for 10,000 years.

Such a use of soldiers is no different from the life of a grass man, even if he returns to the camp, he will inevitably be dealt with by military law, and the beheading is considered light.

At this moment, in the rebel camp, the 3,000 soldiers who fled back in embarrassment were all tired and paralyzed on the ground, and they didn't even bother to move.

Li Tongyuan is also among them, and this time he really experienced what it means to be defeated.

Even if he was superior in force, he could only retreat in the face of such a situation, and he couldn't even bring back the dragon pony under his crotch.

It's definitely a shameful battle, but what can it do now?

Li Tongyuan is not completely brainless, and he even knows very well what punishment he will face after this battle.

But a manly man, if he loses, he has to admit it, and he won't lick his face to find an excuse to shirk responsibility.

After all, the person who persuaded him was not one and a half, and if he wanted to blame, he could only blame himself for being too light on the enemy.

"General, how good is this!" Huang Depu led a group of generals to find Li Tongyuan, and the expressions on their faces were extremely ugly.

In the final analysis, they also have an unshirkable responsibility for this defeat.

If the 50,000 troops could fight at the same time, although the loss of soldiers and horses was inevitable, it would not be nothing, at least the city defense of Zhilin County would definitely be able to penetrate it.

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now.

Li Tongyuan is worthy of being a fierce general, and stood up with the support of everyone and said: "This matter is all caused by a light enemy, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

"General!" Everyone knelt on the ground, their expressions full of sorrow.

Li Tongyuan said indifferently: "Okay, my head has fallen off a bowl and a big scar, now if anyone can help me make meritorious contributions and take this city, I will admit it even if I die!" ”

"General, the last general asks for orders, and takes the troops and horses of the headquarters to detour to the south of Zhilin County overnight, and two days later, from there it will be able to tear apart the city defense of Zhilin County, and then the general only needs to lead the whole army to cover and kill, with the strength of the defenders, it is bound to be difficult to resist, so Zhilin County can be broken!" Huang Depu knelt down and begged for his life, and it was much more certain to mention this plan again.

Li Tongyuan pondered for a moment, thinking of the situation of the battle just now, the defenders really did not have many troops, otherwise their more than 3,000 remnants would not be able to come back: "Okay, if this plan is successful, the general will definitely report to the marshal to ask for credit for the old general!" ”

……

The rebels moved in parts, but the battalion had no intention of moving.

And it rained heavily late that night, and bean-sized raindrops poured down like hailstones.

The menacing rebels even withdrew most of the patrol guards, and the entire camp was silent.

Chen Ziqian sent scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the rebels, and after learning about the rebels' intentions, he gathered 2,000 foot soldiers overnight, and let Yang County Lieutenant personally lead his men and horses out of the city against the torrential rain.

From time to time, lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, reflecting those figures like ghosts.

In a short time, the two thousand foot soldiers quietly touched the perimeter of the rebel camp.

The enemy army arranged a large camp with the character 'Hui', the outer part was wrapped by a wooden fence, and the inside was the large camp, and the inner part was a small battalion.

This is a typical formation of a large battalion and a small battalion, and the most central position is the camp tent of the generals of each department, and it is not easy to touch it.

Fortunately, County Lieutenant Yang was not greedy for these, and led the team to sneak into the enemy camp in the dark and start killing.

In the dimly lit tent, a splash of blood spurted up, and the sleeping rebels died before they could react.

Two thousand foot soldiers harvested on a large scale, and not long after, a series of gongs and drums suddenly sounded in the camp, and everyone was awakened.

"The enemy robbed the camp, the enemy robbed the camp ......"

Wow......

Tens of thousands of rebels were in chaos, and everyone ran out of the camp in rags.

County Lieutenant Yang took the opportunity to lead 2,000 men and horses to cover the kill.

"Kill ......"

The loud shouts of killing even drowned out the sound of thunder, and two thousand men rushed in with knives and cut down people when they saw them, like tigers entering a flock of sheep.

There was no suspense in this battle, and tens of thousands of rebels who were killed by 2,000 foot soldiers lost their armor.

County Lieutenant Yang did not pursue, but just asked people to pull all the baggage in the enemy camp back to the city.

There can be tens of thousands of people here for ten days of grain and grass, as much as 30,000 stones, and there are countless other bows and arrows, which is enough to arm tens of thousands of horses and horses in Zhilin County.

On the other hand, on the rebel side, although the loss of men and horses is not much, the loss of weapons and equipment is exhausted, and there are only more than 10,000 soldiers left who can fight, plus the men and horses of the headquarters led by Huang Depu, more than half of the 50,000 troops were consumed in just one day.

But for Zhilin County, although the battle was victorious, the rebel soldiers and horses were still enough to crush them.

Moreover, the valley rain period has passed, and the climate will warm up next, and the disadvantages of Zhilin County will soon be exposed.

The decisive battle is imminent, and the odds of victory are slim.

These are all problems that can be seen on the surface, but these news have spread as if they have grown wings, causing the people of the whole city to become a pot of porridge and ask to take refuge in the city.

Chen Ziqian was very helpless, and in the next two days, he had to appease the people and reorganize the army for war, so he was really busy jumping up and down.

Two days later, the battle came as scheduled.

The rebel veteran Huang Depu led 12,000 troops and assembled ten miles outside the south gate of Zhilin County, and could be massively killed at any time.

Li Tongyuan, who was outside the east gate, had also regrouped his troops and horses, and was waiting for Huang Depu to lead his troops to attack the city.

Once the two rebels in the southeast attack the city at the same time, Zhilin County will definitely not be able to stop it.

The most infuriating thing is that two days ago, on the side of the county town, Taishou took advantage of the heavy rain to send troops to fight against the main force of the rebels, and actually won the battle for him.

It's really Zhu Bajie soaked spider essence, and he soaked it, you said you were not angry!

Chen Ziqian was quite angry anyway, and being so messed up by Taishou's side, he became quite passive here.

There is no chance of winning in the fight, and the retreat will damage morale, I really hate to give birth to 10,000 soldiers and horses, so that even in the face of the main force of the rebels, he will dare to go up and pick up two.

At the South Gate Gate, Chen Ziqian looked at Huang Depu leading his troops outside the city with a big head.

In order to deal with the rebels' troops and horses in the southeast and southeast, he had already transferred the ten catapults he had captured earlier to the east gate, and the mud fields and catapults might be able to block it for a while.

But not on the south gate, where the terrain is open, and the rebels still have 12,000 men and horses, and there is no way but to defend it.

"The defenders of the city listened, when the emperor of the dynasty was unconscious, the chaotic belief in the priests caused the collapse of the heavens, the mountains of the Great Yan River were in danger, my lord King Jin was the descendant of the first emperor, in order to support the royal family of the Great Yan, he did not hesitate to bear the name of rebellion to raise the army and the king of Qin, now my army is pressing, thinking that you are all the people of the Great Swallow, and I can't bear to attack it with a butcher's knife, and I will open the door and sacrifice the city within half an hour, otherwise I will not blame my saber for being ruthless!"

Outside the city, a general raised his spear and shouted, deliberately trying to demoralize the defenders.

Chen Ziqian glanced at the attributes of the enemy general, and said contemptuously: "I don't have much ability, but my tone is not small." ”

When County Lieutenant Yang and the others heard this, they all cheered up: "My lord, do you have a good way to break the enemy?" ”

You're a big-headed ghost!

The rebels are all coming to the city, with this force, just this city defense, if you can stop it, I will lose!

Chen Ziqian said with an innocent face: "Why don't we abandon the city and run?" ”

"How can this be done, the enemy is now, retreat from the battle and be killed according to the law!" County Lieutenant Yang and the others looked more serious.

Chen Ziqian was also convinced, the enemy general called the battle in front of the battle, and no one dared to go out to meet the battle, so he knew that Lao Tzu would think of a good strategy.

Lao Tzu is a fat sheep and can't stand you mediocre people picking wool like this, trough!

Just as Chen Ziqian was complaining, a herald hurriedly ran over and said, "Lord Qiyu, a young man named Lin Xiaodao is begging to see him under the city. ”

"Knives!?" Chen Ziqian was stunned for a moment, he was busy jumping up and down in the past two days, but he forgot about this famous general: "Hurry up, please come up...... Forget it, I'll go down to meet him personally. ”

Chen Ziqian hurried over, but the leaders were quite puzzled, this great enemy is just a puppet, why should the labor master personally invite him?
