Chapter 291: The Death of Sun Chuanting (I) Four Watches

Niu Jinxing's 100,000 army was driven back by Lin Yi from the direction of Zhaojiatun, and the mountains and fields were like herding sheep, not marching into the army, but fleeing for their lives, running for dozens of miles overnight, and its embarrassment can be imagined.

The two defeated armies are together, there are tens of thousands of horses, and they have not had time to count, how many men and horses were lost in the battle of Zhaojiatun last night, and then there is another team of men and horses on the left, the wind rolls the flag, the big red satin flag, and the big "Chuang" word in the middle, hunting in the morning wind, which is particularly conspicuous.

Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing, Li Yan and other generals all knew who was coming, but at this time, they were all unhappy in their hearts, especially Niu Jinxing, but they still had to welcome their King Chuang.

It was Li Zicheng who came, and these tens of thousands of horses came from the banks of the Xiliu River, of course.

At this time, Li Zicheng, although he didn't fight last night, of course, he couldn't talk about losing the battle, but he was also tired at this time.

Liu Zongmin and the others didn't know that Li Zicheng also spent a sleepless night last night......

This time the Xiliu River set up an ambush, and the reason why Li Zicheng personally went out was that of course he wanted to see Lin Yi unlucky, and he could capture or behead Lin Yi alive, which was what he expected, that is, to witness Lin Yi being killed and defeated, and it was also a great joy in his life.

Therefore, as the king of Chuang, he did not hesitate to go out in person this time.

Of course, he went to the Xiliu River, not to sleep, and last night his 70,000 men and horses were ambushed in less than three watches. Li Zicheng, who was fully armed, carried the Chuang Wang Knife, hiding in the dark from afar, he was completely sleepy and waited for the battle to start.

But wait, wait, wait, I've been waiting for a few hours and it's gone, not to mention the third watch, and even the fourth watch has passed, and there is no movement on the other side.

Li Zicheng was a little out of breath, and sent someone to the river to inquire quietly, and the person who came back said that the fire on the other side was all extinguished, the black rumbling, nothing could be seen clearly, there was no movement at all, and there was a deathly silence, only the sound of the river flowing slowly.

Li Zicheng frowned, are they all asleep? No, they cut down so many trees and made so many rafts during the day, don't they want to strengthen the westward flow of the river tonight? Haven't they waited for the time to sleep until dawn?

Li Zicheng calmed down and waited for about half a stick of incense, but there was still no movement on the other side, and in the end, even people like Song Xiance couldn't hold their breath, seeing that the sky was about to dawn.

Li Zicheng found two people who knew how to swim in the water, quietly swam across the river, and inquired about the specific situation on the other side, and after dawn, the two people ran back, wet all over their bodies.

"It's not good to break into the prince's big business, there is no one on the other side, and Lin Yi's tens of thousands of horses are gone."

"What?" Li Zicheng was stunned, "How is it possible!" ”

Li Zicheng questioned these two people in detail, and this person said that the raft and wood were all there, and even Lin Yi's pots and pans and water tents were there, but there was no one in the tent.

Li Zicheng and Song Xiance glanced at each other a few times, and in an instant both of them understood, they were fooled, and this was a big deal!

Lin Yi suddenly diverted to the Xiliu River yesterday to cut down trees and make rafts, deliberately letting them see, deliberately letting them be fooled, and attracting them to the river, and then Lin Yi took the men and horses and went back to Zhaojiatun overnight, not only did they want to rescue Hao Shaoqi, but after the tiger left the mountain, they would definitely send a partial division to save Sun Chuanting.

After Li Zicheng understood, he immediately ordered to return to the division.

70,000 horses lay on the riverbank for a night, and now they began to march rapidly, and these peasant troops wanted to scold their mothers, but they didn't dare.

The horse team was in front, and the foot soldiers were all behind, and after more than an hour, Li Zicheng's men and horses forgot about Niu Jinxing and Liu Zongmin's horses, and they knew what was happening from a distance, proving that his guess was completely correct.

At this time, Li Zicheng's face was frustrated, how he wished he could guess wrong, but it was not beyond his expectations......

Soon, Li Zicheng's three-way army gathered together, and there were tens of thousands.

Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing and others came over one after another and asked Li Zicheng for their guilt.

Li Zicheng did not cure their crimes, but his face was very ugly, and despite this, he still asked Liu Zongmin about his injuries.

Liu Zongmin said: "King Chuang, this flesh injury is nothing, the men and horses of the madman He are only more than 20 miles away from us at this time, and our men and horses are now several times his number, hurry up and kill them to relieve the anger in their hearts!"

Li Zicheng smiled bitterly, this time he didn't ask the three strategists under him again, although Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and Li Yan were all in front of him, of course he didn't agree to Liu Zongmin, but passed down an order: "Inform the old camp that all the horses and horses immediately retreat in the direction of Shangluo Mountain."

Their team did not go out of ten miles to the west, and soon there was a report from the horse, Lin Yi and the men and horses caught up, and more than 40 miles behind them, they had already joined forces with He Renlong's men and horses.

Li Zicheng's heart moved, thanks to not listening to Liu Zongmin, otherwise it might be another defeat, and it would not be easy to win the surname Lin.

Li Zicheng destroyed more than 100,000 horses, and he didn't go to the direction of Shaanxi, towards the place where his imperial spirit was in full swing, and left Henan a few days later and entered Shaanxi......

Lin Yi led 20,000 or 30,000 horses to chase down the defeated army of Niu Jinxing, and chased more than 30 miles after dawn.

The reason why Lin Yi has to chase after him is mainly because he is not worried about He Renlong's people? Because the direction of Niu Jinxing's defeat and retreat happened to be the place where Sun Chuanting's men were trapped.

Although Niu Jinxing suffered defeat, his army of 100,000 still exists. And Lin Yi knew that this Niu Venus was scheming, He Renlong was very capable of fighting, but there were only 10,000 horses, although they were all elite iron horses, and he was also given 1,000 new musketeers.

But Li Zicheng's subordinates are like clouds, and if they fall into their trap again, they can't save Sun Chuanting, and maybe they will have to suffer a loss.

Lin Yi was not at ease, so he led a large team of men and horses to chase after him.

It wasn't until Lin Yi's men and horses and He Renlong's men and horses met that He Renlong had won the battle and successfully rescued Sun Chuanting, over there Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing, and Liu Zongmin's three groups of men and horses went west together, and hundreds of thousands of thieves had already gone out for dozens of miles, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, this time the battle was a complete victory, damn, it's not too easy to win them!

At this time, He Renlong and others came to salute Lin Yi and report the operation and battle, Aunt Lin was very happy and praised He Renlong a few words.

Hearing that Sun Chuanting was sick, Lin Yi immediately came to visit.

In a temporary tent, Lin Yi, He Renlong, Zhang Hua and others came in. The generals and doctors inside flashed to the side, revealing Sun Chuanting's bed.

Lin Yi took two steps closely, He Long and Zhang Hua followed, and the three of them bowed.

"Master Inspector, Lin is so polite, what do you think?"

As soon as he heard that Lin Yi had come to visit him in person, Sun Chuanting reacted very much, and sat up from the bed at once, and he was about to go down to the ground to return the salute to Lin Yi.

Because although Sun Chuanting is a scholar of the Ministry of War, has the sword of the Son of Heaven, and still has the title of superintendent, but Lin Yi is the prince and the prince, although this is a false position, but he is ranked as the third duke, Sun Chuanting must return the courtesy. Even in the absence of a holy decree, if the two of them meet, Sun Chuanting must give a salute to Lin Yi.

Sun Chuanting got up, probably with too much force, and after a while, he fainted on the bed after a dizziness and black eyes.

Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly supported him, "Master Inspector lie down, you are seriously ill, it is not easy to move lightly, so take a good rest." ”

At this time, Sun Chuanting looked at Lin Yi, closed his eyes gently, his eyelashes were a little moist, and his Adam's apple moved a few times, and it could be seen that he was very excited.

Lin Yi, He Renlong, Zhang Hua and others looked at him quietly.

I haven't seen each other for a few months, and the powerful Sun Chuanting has changed. The face is turmeric, and the cheekbones are also protruding, like an old man who is about to die.

It took a long time for Sun Chuanting to open his eyes, hold Lin Yi's hand tightly, and said emotionally: "I can't think of it...... Unexpectedly...... My grandson Baigu is ashamed to ...... two adults."

White Valley is the character of Sun Chuanting. Of course, Lin Yi knew what he was talking about, and Sun Chuanting felt ashamed at this time, this was to thank Lin Yi and He Renlong for saving his life.

Lin Yi hurriedly interrupted him: "Let it pass, let it pass, I, Lin Yi, have never taken it to heart, and Renlong must have forgotten it, we are all generals of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no reason to see death and not save it, and the rescue is late, and I hope that my lord Haihan."

"Lord Lin, don't say it......" Sun Chuanting shook his head, "Sun now understands who is loyal and who is traitorous, Lord Lin is definitely the white jade pillar of the Ming Dynasty, but it's a pity that today's saint is ...... Hey, Lord Lin, Sun has something to ask for. ”

"If you have something to say, why talk about asking for words, Lin will listen to it."
