Chapter 288: Defeat Niu Venus
Outside Zhaojiatun is Niu Jinxing's camp, with 100,000 horses, and the thousands of people and horses of Hao Shaoqi in the middle are surrounded by water.
But Hao Shaoqi believed that Lin Yi would definitely send troops to rescue, they were resting, they were accumulating strength, and they were preparing to join forces inside and outside to break through again.
And Niu Jinxing's men and horses, at this time, did not pay attention to the thousands of officers and soldiers in the encirclement at all, for these 100,000 people, Hao Shaoqi's five or six thousand people and horses are dumpling filling, when you want to chop, when to make it on the spot. What they are now paying attention to is the movement of Lin Yi's main team by the Xiliu River.
According to their assumptions, as long as Lin Yi and the others crossed the river as soon as they started, the camp of Niu Jinxing here would send a strong force to kill the river, and Lin Yi's team would be in chaos because they were busy crossing the river, and they would inevitably be in chaos when they encountered a sudden attack. On the other side of the river, Li Zicheng's men and horses in ambush rushed out and killed them, and they were able to annihilate Lin Yi's men and horses who had not yet gained a stable foothold across the river.
Therefore, Niu Jinxing sent a lot of scouts, secretly paying attention to the movements of Lin Yi's team by the river. These scouts don't dare Lin Yi's people to get too close, for fear of being discovered, but they can't be too far, too far to see clearly, this is the technical work.
It was getting dark. These scouts saw that Lin Yi's men and horses were still working all night, and they didn't start to rest until Dingjian did, and then they roasted the fire and ate.
However, these scouts hid in the dark for a long time, and they couldn't see the movement of Lin Yi's camp for a long time, until Lin Yi's men and horses gathered after dinner and extinguished all the fires, they felt that they must be crossing the river.
But then the strange movements of Lin Yi's army made them stunned, Lin Yi's men and horses did not cross the river at all, but killed in the direction of Zhaojiatun in the dark night.
These scouts are not stupid, and now they suddenly realize that they are all fooled!
These scouts hurried back to the camp and sent a message to Niu Jinxing, but they were racing with Lin Yi's men and horses, and at most they were cavalry.
Niu Jinxing was waiting in the camp and was anxious, because there was a major military operation tonight, and he would definitely not be able to sleep after dinner, and his soldiers would not be able to sleep. Seeing that it's been three watches, why hasn't there been any movement?
At this moment, the probe horse ran in, and out of breath reported the latest news they had just heard.
"What?" Niu Venus was shocked, that face was already long, and even the face of surprise and pull appeared longer, not a foot and a half, it was almost the same, and it had to be compared with the face of the little donkey.
Niu Jinxing thinks that it is impossible, it must be that Tanma is mistaken. Lin Yi's tens of thousands of horses wantonly cut down trees by the river to make rafts, tossing for so long a day, this must be to force the Xiliu River, how can they suddenly kill Zhaojiatun? If they wanted to come to the rescue, Hao Shaoqi would have come to rescue him a long time ago, do they have to wait until now? Also go around to the river, more than 20 miles?
Niu Jinxing asked a few Tanma in a row to report like this, and now he had to believe it. He couldn't understand why Lin Yi was like this for a while, so he didn't think about it anymore, and hurried to meet the enemy.
This Lin Yi is really a ghost, he doesn't play cards according to the routine at all!
Fortunately, he prepared 20,000 horses, otherwise he would have been really caught off guard.
Niu Jinxing prepared that these 20,000 horses were all cavalry, which was originally to kill the river and attack Lin Yi's rear, but now he had to pull them out, resist them for a while, and then organize more men and horses to deal with Lin Yi's unexpected night attack.
But before the 20,000 horses rushed out of the camp, Lin Yi's men and horses had already been killed.
Of course, this is the nearly 10,000 cavalry rushing to the front, they are riding fast horses galloping in the night, and the horses of Niu Venus are racing, and the two sides are not far apart, so they are in front and back to the camp of Niu Venus.
Niu Jinxing reported to Tanma, verified the news after being stunned, and then mobilized people, it took time, so when Lin Yi led the forward team to kill, he was still caught off guard.
Aside from the combat effectiveness of the team, Niu Jinxing's team was caught off guard by Lin Yi's men and horses.
There is no doubt that these nearly 10,000 cavalry are all Lin Yi's elite troops, which is the combat power combination of the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Tianxiong Army, as well as Lin Yi's guard battalion, and of course, Lin Yi himself.
The eight or nine thousand iron horsemen were all double-armed, and some even had one horse and three weapons, bows and arrows, spears and short knives, and firearms.
Although these muskets are old-style muskets, because of limited time and limited productivity, Lin Yi's muskets have not yet had time to be fully updated, but his combat power is still good.
In this way they charged and fired arrows at the same time, and some of them fired their guns at the same time. Ten thousand horses galloped, and when they arrived at the camp of Niu Venus, they killed people when they saw them, and cut them down when they saw people.
Niu Jinxing's men and horses were caught off guard, and they were killed and fled in all directions, and there were dead bodies everywhere.
At this time, Niu Jinxing's 20,000 horses rushed out, intending to block Lin Yi's team and turn the tide of the battle, but with their combat power, they were not at the same level as Lin Yi's team.
At present, Lin Yi's cavalry team is absolutely first-class in terms of combat effectiveness, even the elite of the Eight Banners of Tartar cannot match, Li Zicheng's men and horses are originally a rabble, and most of them are untrained peasants. At this time, in front of Lin Yi's team, it was even more vulnerable.
20,000 cavalry couldn't stop Lin Yi's thousands of cavalry.
However, soon four generals came out, they were Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, this is the first-class generals of Li Zicheng Group, and they are extremely brave.
The four generals rushed forward to kill together, forming an indestructible human wall, rolling the heads of the soldiers who Lin Yi rushed over, and the flesh and blood were flying.
But they soon encountered Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and Zhang Hua, and the three generals resisted one by one, and fought each other, and the remaining one was of course handed over to Lin Yi.
Yuan Zongdi brandished a pair of iron whips, and the officers and soldiers who died under this pair of whips did not know how many, and when he met Lin Yi, he was no longer beautiful.
Yuan Zongdi fought Lin Yi, saying that it was a big battle, but in fact, it was just one round, and the iron whip in his hand flew a pair, which scared him into turning his horse and running, and Lin Yi chased after him.
Zhang Hua was defeated by Tian Jianxiu, was rushed over by Lin Yi, and knocked the weapon in his hand away with a knife, Tian Jianxiu was bare-handed, and if he didn't want to die, he had to run away.
In the melee, Gan Bao's iron flat could not resist Li Guo's big knife, and Jiang Xingyuan's big shovel could not withstand Liu Fangliang's bright silver spear, and the two generals were defeated.
At this time, there was chaos in the camp, and countless torches lit up the sky.
At this time, Lin Yi rushed over, and when Li Guo saw that it was Lin Yi, he put on a desperate posture, in fact, this was a sign of cowardice. Because he has long been a defeated general under Lin Yi.
Don't look at it, they are all big swords, his big swords and Lin Yi's big swords, whether in terms of weight or knife moves, are not of the same grade. Therefore, he couldn't parry it after two hits, and Li Guo, who didn't want to be captured by Lin Yi again, had to be defeated.
Met Liu Fangliang head-on, Liu Fangliang, who defeated Jiang Xingyuan, rushed over to help, his bright silver spear made the gods elusive, and his good marksmanship followed Li Zicheng for many years to fight in the south and the north, blocking the east and killing in the west, and the Han style map.
But when he encountered Lin Yi's Qinglong Yanyue Knife weighing more than 100 catties, Liu Fangliang was also Jiang Lang's talent.
In less than two strokes, Liu Fangliang's big gun was suppressed by Lin Yi's big knife, and then Lin Yi came to push the boat down the river. The broadsword slammed down the barrel of the gun and pushed it over, as fast as lightning.
If he was pushed, Liu Fangliang's hands would be gone, so frightened that he hurriedly threw away the gun, turned the horse and ran.
At this point, all four generals have lost the battle, and no one in Niu Jinxing's men and horses can resist Lin Yi's generals. A few thousand men and horses rushed the camp of 100,000 horses into a mess.
Hao Shaoqi, who was in the encirclement, had long been awakened by this earth-shattering shouting and killing. What they were waiting for was the moment when the rescuers came, they had already rested for half a day, and their strength had already recovered.
Hao Shaoqi waved the big flagpole in his hand, led thousands of men and horses, and shouted and killed the enemy group from inside. This should be combined inside and outside, and Niu Venus's people and horses can't resist it.
Soon the encirclement was torn open, Lin Yi and Hao Shaoqi's men and horses were together, that is, more than 10,000 people, continued to kill the enemy, and when the fourth watch was killed, Lin Yi's more than 20,000 infantry arrived and joined the battle group. Thirty or forty thousand horses were killed until dawn, and Niu Jinxing's 100,000 horses were killed to the ground, and the casualties were pillowed.
Niu Jinxing was so frightened that his soul did not possess his body, and only then did he know how powerful Lin Yi was. He is powerless, he is good at strategizing, charging into battle, and he is simply a target.
In the end, Niu Jinxing was protected by Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, and Tian Jianxiu, and fled with the remnants of the defeated generals......
