Chapter 233 Li Zicheng's rout is the second watch
As soon as he heard the familiar sound of guns, Lin Yi knew that it was his own reinforcements coming, it was his own troops, the way of playing was too familiar, he couldn't help but turn his head to look, and sure enough, in the direction behind his side, a group of people came, through the rolling dust, he saw the name of the "First Battalion of the Great Commander of the Ping Thief" with the wind flying, and he even saw the figures of Dongsheng and Zhang Hua.
"Didn't Zhang Hua go to Luoyang? How did you get together with Dongsheng, a battalion is in the inner countryside, it should be met halfway......"
Lin Yi thought so, these two generals charged ahead, getting closer and closer, behind them, people and horses jumped, and countless soldiers rolled over, holding fire guns in their hands while charging, while aiming and firing.
"Papapa...... like firecrackers, white smoke fills the air, and then dissipates, the fire is continuous and fierce, Lin Yi likes to listen to this sound. Seeing that Li Zicheng's men and horses fell to the ground one after another, the rest scattered and fled, and a big gap suddenly appeared in the encirclement surrounding Lin Yi.
Li Zicheng and the other eight people were shocked, knowing that reinforcements from officers and soldiers had come up.
Seeing this, Lin Yi suddenly became more energetic, and his body was filled with endless strength, as for the mouthful of blood that he had just spit out, it had no effect at all.
"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, capture Li Zicheng alive, kill!"
Lin Yi roared, smashing the horse and slashing at Li Zicheng and the others, and the guards under his command heard this sound as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and immediately regained their fierceness, followed Lin Yi to charge, and slashed the blade in his hand towards the enemy.
Li Zicheng and his wife were shocked, including Li Zicheng and his wife, the eight of them were forced to retreat by Lin Yi single-handedly, and the two sides fought together.
In the blink of an eye, Dong Sheng and Zhang Hua rushed to the front with a battalion of 2,000 firecrackers. At this time, Li Zicheng's men and horses were killed and wounded everywhere, blood flowed like a river, and countless people were hit by the firecrackers, which were mainly the men and horses of Bai Minghe's department.
"Jiexuan, you bring a team of centaurs to stop them!" Of course, Li Zicheng can't just admit defeat, his eyes are about to be done, if he has to withdraw his troops and let Lin Yi escape, wouldn't it be a failure? Isn't it just that an official army is coming, just send a team of soldiers and horses to block them, Lin Yi's army is already fat in his mouth, how can the cooked duck let him fly? Therefore, he didn't care too much about saying to Liu Zongmin.
But before Li Zicheng's words fell, another team came from the southeast, all of which were cavalry, playing under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and the main general headed by a small man carrying an iron pole on his shoulder.
It was Lin Yi's peasant warrior Gan Bao, who came from Xinye with the standard battalion, that is, Lin Yi's third battalion, and the first battalion of Dongsheng was basically the front and rear feet.
These two teams, like Lin Yi, did not delay at all on the road, but due to the long distance, they almost missed a major event when they arrived, but they came in time.
The standard battalion is nearly 3,000 people at this time, but it is like a galloping momentum of ten thousand horses, and the ground under the feet trembles, this army is a heavy cavalry, all the soldiers are all metal Kai armor, and all the hands are double weapons, some are still three weapons, Lin Yi's standard camp is built by Lin Yi, with first-class equipment and first-class combat effectiveness.
As soon as this team came, Lin Yi was more aware in his heart, and he was more energetic, and with a knife from the guard battalion, he couldn't resist Li Zicheng, Gao Guiying, Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun, Bai Minghe, Lan Yingcheng and other seven generals, and they were defeated and retreated. Liu Zongmin withdrew with his men and horses, preparing to stop Lin Yi's musket battalion.
The two sides quickly rushed together, and the firecrackers put away the firecrackers in their hands, pulled out their war knives, and slashed at these thieves.
The first thing that the men and horses of the standard camp attacked was Li Zicheng's women's battalion, which was why they were on the way, because at this time, Li Zicheng's women's battalion was fighting with Lin Yi's women's battalion. The place of the fight was next to the woods behind Lin Yi's side.
These two female battalions, of course, are Li Zicheng's largest number, with more than 500 people, led by Huiying and Huimei, and encountered more than 60 people from Xiaoying and Zhezhe next to the woods.
Originally, Xiaoying and Zhezhe took more than 60 soldiers and female battalion soldiers in the woods, changed into dancing girl makeup, put on armor, carried bows and arrows and war knives, and flew out of the woods to fight side by side with Lin Yi, but they didn't expect that Li Zicheng's women's battalion was killing head-on, so the two sides fought together.
Lin Yi's men and horses are desperate over there, and Xiaoying's women's battalion is rushing to kill here, which can be regarded as a battlefield of a small punishment.
In today's society, women are half a day, or even half of the sky, because women can do all the work that men can do, and men may not be able to do the work that women can do. Even in ancient times, women were never bad, they just didn't give them a stage to show fully.
Take leading soldiers to fight and charge into battle, women are not inferior to men in their majesty, and there are endless heroines in history, not to mention the two female battalions in front of them, one is more ruthless than the other.
Li Zicheng's women's battalion was brought out by Gao Guiying, and they were all brave. Lin Yi's women's battalion is not bad, first of all, they are female Tartars, male Tartars have a fierce and aggressive nature, and female Tartars also have them, they are good at riding horses and archery, and after special training, they have formed combat power, and Lin Yi and Xiaoying have sinicized them and trained them to become women's Einsatzgruppen figures.
Therefore, don't look at the disparity between the two sides, the thieves are ten times larger than the official army, but in the initial battle, Li Zicheng's women's battalion did not take advantage. Because at the beginning, Lin Yi's women's battalion drew bows and arrows, and when the two sides were dozens of meters away, this group of female thieves suffered casualties everywhere.
When the two sides rushed together, it was another white-knuckle parity, and Lin Yi's female battalion did not lose to these female thieves in individual combat, but as time went by, the female thieves with many people prevailed. Lin Yi's women's battalion gradually ran out of strength, casualties increased, and finally half of the people were trapped by hundreds of female thieves. Xiaoying and Zhezhe fought desperately, and warned the sisters to keep the last knife for themselves and never be taken prisoner.
At this moment, Lin Yi's standard battalion rushed over, and these female thieves were even more incomparable with Lin Yi's standard battalion.
After rescuing Lin Yi's women's battalion, Gan Bao led the standard battalion men and horses not to chase Li Zicheng's broken women's battalion, but directly into Li Zicheng's flank.
The attack power of this team is like a large harvester opening a cornfield, Li Zicheng's men and horses fell down in rows and batches, and in less than half an hour, Lin Yi's two support soldiers of more than 5,000 people rushed Li Zicheng's men and horses.
Here Li Zicheng and others couldn't hold their feet because of panic, and Lin Yi began to rush to kill with his guards, and when it was dark, Li Zicheng's men and horses were completely defeated, and they ran towards Nanyang City like a low tide.
Lin Yi's three-way army was in the back to chase and kill, and the situation was completely reversed.
Chased all the way to the moat, at this time a cannon sounded, the city gate was opened, the drawbridge was put down, Liu Fangliang personally took three thousand soldiers and horses out to meet Li Zicheng, the two sides fought for a while on the side of the moat, until Li Zicheng's remnants of the defeated army retreated into the city, Liu Fangliang also collected troops back to the city, the drawbridge was pulled up, and the city gate was closed.
Lin Yi's men and horses rushed forward again, the cannons at the head of the city were headed, and the city was heavily guarded, and it was dark at this time, Lin Yi ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
It was not easy to defeat Li Zicheng, Lin Yi did not attack the city, first, it was dark, and second, he and his generals were tired, although Li Zicheng was defeated, their casualties were not small, and they needed to rest their men and horses and restore their combat strength, so he ordered to retreat ten miles and set up camp overnight. I didn't care about the corpses everywhere on the battlefield, but just let the standard battalion police equipment, let the first battalion treat the wounded soldiers, pick up the trophies, and talk about other things tomorrow.
But at this moment, there were two teams rushed over in the dark, the wind and dust, it seemed that there was a rush to march, the main general of the two teams came to see Lin Yi with the guard Pegasus, how far away he got off the war horse, Lin Yi looked at it, it was Zhu Dadian's Nanjing soldiers and Tiger David's Baoding soldiers, and the two chief military officers came to see Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was stunned when he saw that it was the two of them.
