After Niu Jinxing left with 100,000 horses, Liu Zongmin immediately suggested to Li Zicheng to attack the mountain and eliminate Sun Chuanting's thousands of men and horses in one fell swoop.

Li Zicheng shook his head, Sun Chuanting has become a turtle in the urn, and it is difficult to fly with wings, and the most important thing now is to deal with Lin Yi's team, which is his heart disease and his focus.

Don't look at Niu Jinxing's 100,000 army, and Lin Yi only has 50,000 horses, to put it bluntly, Li Zicheng still can't rest assured Niu Jinxing, I don't know if he can win this battle.

Because he had too much trouble with this Lin Yi and Li Zicheng, he didn't dare to take it lightly at all, and he didn't dare to have any luck.

Because Li Zicheng felt that he couldn't afford to lose. More than a year ago, several battles outside Nanyang City made him feel palpitations, and Lin Yi left him with 18 horses, which was a psychological wound that he could never heal.

If only 18 horses were left in the hidden Shangluo Mountain for the first time, Li Zicheng could still cheer up and heal his wounds, but the second time had already greatly damaged his vitality and his confidence was lost.

At that time, Li Zicheng beat his chest, how could he fail so badly, God has no eyes! If it weren't for Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan and Lao Huihui's Gezuo Battalion to join, it would be hard for him to believe that he would be able to make a comeback.

At this time, Song Xiance and Li Yan under him, the two major strategists also valued this Lin Yi too much when they saw Li Zicheng. However, for Lin Yi's reputation, the two of them have already filled their ears, so in this case, they will first concentrate their forces to eliminate Lin Yi's men.

Therefore, the two of them also suggested to Li Zicheng that only a few people should be responsible for surrounding the hill, as long as they guarded a few passages down the mountain. The remaining tens of thousands of horses are keeping an eye on the battle situation of Niu Venus's team.

If Niu Venus wins, then there will be no future. They attacked the mountain in a big way and ate Sun Chuanting's thousands of men and horses in one fell swoop, so it would be effortless.

But if it's the other way around, then there's going to be trouble. According to the assumption of Li Zicheng's group, even if Niu Jinxing can't win this battle, at least he can stop this team for a while, so that Li Zicheng can send an elite division to attack behind Lin Yi, Lin Yi came from afar, in this rainy weather, the musket will definitely not be fired, there are few people and horses, plus the enemy on the back of the belly, Lin Yi is undoubtedly defeated.

Therefore, Li Zicheng asked Liu Zongmin to take 10,000 horses and horses to continue to trap Sun Chuanting's figures, surround but not annihilate, as long as Sun Chuanting's men and horses do not rush down to kill and break through.

Li Zicheng led the remaining tens of thousands of horses to wait and watch the battle situation of Niu Jinxing's team, so as to take timely countermeasures......

From Xinye to Xixia, that is, the distance of three or four hundred miles. Although the weather is bad, Lin Yi's men and horses have iron discipline and good traditions. That is, he was good at marching and could overcome all difficulties, so his 60,000 men and horses appeared in Xixia County in only two days.

Now Lin Yi's intelligence system is also huge, and he never fights uncertain battles. knew that he would not be defeated in a hundred battles, and he would not be released at night, and soon found out for him the deployment of Li Zicheng's troops and the situation of Sun Chuanting on the mountain.

How should this battle be fought? Lin Yi asked Xiaoying and Zhezhe. Because Lin Yi wanted to cultivate him as his own brain, he had to cultivate and train them through one battle at a time.

It was Xiao Ying who spoke first, "Brother Lin wants me to say that he will kill him directly, and kill Li Zicheng's men and horses at once, and the combat effectiveness of his team is not at the same level as ours at all." ”

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, this is indeed a style of play, and it is very domineering, what Xiao Ying said is not an exaggeration at all.

Now that Lin Yi is fighting with Li Zi, he knows very well in his heart. Don't look at what kind of powerful Li Zicheng he is, don't look at Emperor Chongzhen's inability to deal with him, and finally he was forced to hang himself.

But for Lin Yi, this is all a rabble. Facing head-on, his men and horses are just two words "no".

This is not Lin Yi's arrogance, and there is no one in his eyes. This is the conclusion he has come to after fighting his opponent several times. And what I am sure of is that Lin Yi's musket battalion has been renewed.

Don't look at the new musket, it is only equipped with 2,000 people, and it is enough to fight Li Zicheng. If it was a melee between the two armies in hand-to-hand combat, or even without a musket battalion, Lin Yi would be absolutely sure that he would be able to take Li Zicheng's team down, don't look at Li Zicheng's men and horses being three times as large as his.

Lin Yi looked at Zhezhe again, wanting to hear her opinion. This Mongolian girl is both civil and military, full of personality, and Lin Yi likes it very much.

Dressed in a Mongolian suit, the white Hada is on her chest, and her black and shiny hair sets off her delicate face. Especially those eyes, bright and good, like the brightest of the stars in the night sky.

"Brother Lin, in my opinion, the troops should be divided into two roads, fighting with Li Zicheng's men and horses all the way, and heavy troops should be sent to contain most of Li Zicheng's men and horses along the way. Then send another group of men and horses to take a detour up the mountain to save people, this is the purpose of our trip, saving soldiers is like fighting fire. ”

Lin Yi stretched out a thumbs up to her, "You are worthy of being a princess from a fighting nation, it's up to you." ”

Zhezhe's smile was very bright, and to be so praised by Lin Yi, his heart was as sweet as honey.

But Xiao Ying's small mouth pursed. Zhezhe looked at it and quickly retracted his smile.

Lin Yi saw it in his eyes, "Ying'er, you don't learn well in the war book." Your sister's martial arts are now comparable, but in terms of the twists and turns in your mind, you still have to learn from your sister. ”

"Got it." Xiaoying's small mouth is the elder.

Zhezhe hurriedly said to Xiaoying: "Sister, sister doesn't dare to be." My sister is still like my sister to learn more cooking. ”

Xiaoying's mouth flattened, "It depends on whether I teach you or not, if you get cheap, you will be good!" ”

"Sister, don't be angry, Zhezhe knows that he is wrong." ……

Lin Yi immediately divided his troops and sent generals, and asked He Renlong to lead 10,000 troops, including 3,000 iron cavalry, including 1,000 new musketeers, to go around to the mountains to save people.

The remaining 50,000 men and horses, led by Lin Yi himself, confronted Li Zicheng head-on, and Hao Shaoqi led 10,000 horses as the vanguard, including 1,000 novice musketeers. The distance between the two armies is more than ten miles, and it is the main force of the Chinese army of 40,000 horses led by Lin Yi.

For thousands of horses and thousands of troops, 180 miles is not a distance at all.

Outside Hujiazhuang, two armies encountered.

Of course, this is Li Zicheng's forward troops, that is, Hao Shaoqi's 10,000 horses, the other party is of course Niu Jinxing's team, his forward troops are 20,000 cavalry, and the two generals Li Guo and Liu Fangliang are leading the troops.

The drizzle was misty and like smoke.

The two armies were about two or three hundred meters apart, and the battlefield was opened.

There are 10,000 soldiers, and there is no boundary. The two sides add up to 30,000 horses, and this lineup is also quite strong, it is simply overwhelming.

Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Hao Shaoqi, and the three generals recognized each other at this time. They used to be a family, but now they are your mortal enemies.

Hao Shaoqi was a traitor in their eyes, so Li Guo and Liu Fang didn't come out in a fit of anger, and scolded Hao Shaoqi in front of the battle.

Of course, Hao Shaoqi would not be silent, the two sides scolded each other, and then Li Guo and Liu Fangliang each led their men to kill the official army, shouting like a tide.

But Hao Shaoqi's team did not rush, if in the past, according to Hao Shaoqi's character, he would have drunk a meal, and then waved the big flagpole, and rushed up with men and horses, in his mind, the brave wins when the two armies meet.

But he didn't fight like this today, because Lin Yi had already told him when he came, destroy more enemies, and hurt himself less, and pay attention to strategic routines in fighting, not brutal, not on impulse, and not as a personal hero.

Lin Yi's words, of course, he didn't dare not listen. This comes from the awe of Lin Yi, which is of course not forced under high pressure, but from inner convincing.

There are few people who convince Hao Shaoqi in this life, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Zongmin and others can be ranked first, or convinced of their wisdom, or convinced of their force.

But there is only one person who is most convincing to Hao Shaoqi, and that is Lin Yi.

Now Lin Yi's words are obedient, he never dares to discount the slightest, and he doesn't dare to drink the wine now, unless Lin Yi allows him to drink it when he is not fighting, he can drink a few sips and enjoy it.

In a word, as Lin Yi's general, he will do whatever you ask him to do, and his loyalty to Lin Yi has far exceeded his loyalty to the imperial court.

Otherwise, Lin Yi would not have regarded him as a confidant, and he would not have handed over such a heavy burden to him.

At this time, Hao Shaoqi put these 1,000 musketeers at the forefront, and Hao Shaoqi wanted to see if the "special soldiers" that Lord Lin gave them were good or not.

Better tools make good work. Lord Lin went back and forth to Anhui and took the "true scriptures" from the Bi brothers, which took so long, spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and spent so many twists and turns.

There are many thieves and soldiers, and all the 20,000 horses are cavalry, and their thoughts have been instilled by Niu Jinxing, the muskets of the officers and soldiers will definitely not be able to go off, plus there is a huge backing behind them, this time the other party will be decided.

Therefore, these thieves and soldiers have no fear, screaming and screaming, like a group of demons dancing wildly, and the war horses sitting down are so hard that they can't wait, and they pour all their skills into the weapons in their hands, and use all their strength and all their solutions to kill the officers and soldiers.

The distance between the two sides is only two or three hundred meters, and the galloping of the war horse? In the blink of an eye, the two sides were within 200 meters of each other.

The thief army rushed and prepared all the bows and arrows, and of course they had to use the bow and arrows to help them in such a charge.

If you don't shoot the other party, the other party wants to shoot you, of course, first with the bow and arrow. Don't look at the firearms that have been deployed on the battlefield on a large scale, but the most practical and powerful thing now is of course the bow and arrow.

However, the range of bows and arrows is 100 meters, especially when the arrows are fired in unison, more than 100 meters, and most bows and arrows are the end of the strong crossbow.

The current thief army has also practiced the ability to shoot arrows while charging, and the reason why there is such combat power is that Li Zicheng has capable people under him and can train soldiers.

While the horses galloped forward, the thieves and archers who were at the front of the war, drew their bows and arrows, and with a creak they filled the bows and arrows, and then took aim, and the next moment they waited within a hundred meters, and they fired ten thousand arrows in unison.

The officers and troops did not charge, and it was clear that they were on the defensive, preparing to attack on the defensive.

The thieves plan to disrupt their opponents' positions with bows and arrows first, and then they can be killed and scattered with a single charge.

"Raise your gun!"

At the sound of an order, the 1,000 new musketeers opened the safety with a bang, and the more than 300 musketeers in the front row all raised their muskets and aimed at the surging thieves.

The distance was only one or two hundred meters, and although there was rain and fog, these thieves had already seen it, but they simply didn't care about it. Can you guys make that sound? The gunpowder has long been wet, and you are grasshoppers with their teeth - scared to mow the grass. We could have shot you under your horses and chopped you to the ground.

Therefore, in the face of this row of black hole muskets, Li Guo and Liu Fangliang's men and horses simply turned a blind eye, still urged the horses to rush forward, and even began to release arrows.

"Fire!"

The more than 300 muskets in the first row of the "Papapapa...... all fired, and there was not a single dumb person.

Bullets flew in the mist and rain, and the thieves who rushed to the front looked incredible, and then they were shot and fell off their horses.

Before the arrows in their hands were sent out, they threw them away. Blood, rain and muddy cement mixed together, staining the filthy grass and trees red.

The horses without masters scattered and galloped, and the front of the thief army was suddenly in chaos......
