The battle under the inner countryside was particularly fierce, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu's four generals were puzzled, and Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi also had the same at this time.

According to the strategy set by Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng, at this time, Lin Yi's army should be attacked on three sides, Neixiang, Xichuan, Xinye, and 9,000 men and horses of six generals.

But it didn't seem to be what they expected, and this time the officers and troops were not chaotic at all, and it was not at all like they were facing the enemy on three sides. Xichuan's Li Guo father and son and Xinye's high school, Tian Jianxiu, didn't they all bring people to kill? Why did the shouting of killing fade away, and finally there was no movement?

Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi organized three charges in a row, but they did not disperse the opposing official army, but now they were scattered by the opposing official army, because the official army launched a counteroffensive.

Now the two of them understand that they have been fooled, because the two of them are not stupid, this is a famous tiger general under Li Zicheng, of course, there is a certain level of strategy.

The officers and troops in front of them were bluffing at first, waving their flags and shouting, but they just didn't rush forward. When they came out of the city, the officers and soldiers wiped their heads and ran. But they ran and ran, and they didn't scatter at all, and they ran for a while, and now they stopped and fought them. Now there is a fierce counterattack.

After contacting these experiences, it is not difficult for these two generals to think that there is fraud here.

In addition, they found that the combat effectiveness of this team was not something that their 3,000 men could resist. There were only a few more troops than them, and they were all firearms. Well-trained, whether it is a retreat or an attack, they are in formation. It was not something that their poorly trained peasant army could resist.

Although they were charging to the death, Liu Fangliang's bright silver spear, the officers and soldiers who died under his gun, he himself couldn't count them. Yuan Zong's first pair of leopard-tailed double whips has now become a meat whip.

However, despite this, it is difficult to reverse this situation of being passively beaten. After these three charges. More than half of his 3,000 men and horses had already suffered casualties, and now the officers and troops collectively launched a counter-charge against them. To make matters worse, their men and horses were already in disarray, they couldn't stop shouting, they couldn't form an army, and the corpses of soldiers were lying on the ground.

Now there are no more than 100 people gathered around these two generals. It shows that you must retreat to the city and hold on to the city to see the aftermath. If the fight continues, the whole army will be annihilated, not to mention that this official army is wrapped in dumplings, and they themselves will lose all their money.

Therefore, these two generals hurriedly ordered a retreat, not so much that the two of them gave the order to retreat, but that the two of them ran together. Because most of the soldiers under his command now don't listen to the two of them, let them run, they have to run, and if they don't run, they have to run.

Dongsheng took a battalion of musket battalions and rushed to the city with a charge.

Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi withdrew to the city with the remnants of the defeated army, pulled up the drawbridge, and held the city. Their bows and arrows and thunder stones did not work at all against these musketeers, because for them, the Ming army was out of range, and they were within the range of the Ming army's musket.

The muskets of the Ming army fired again on the other side of the river, and the men and horses in the city were shot and fell from time to time, and the blood stained the city walls, and finally there was no one in the city, and they all hid under the battlements and did not dare to look up.

As soon as Dongsheng saw that the time was ripe and ordered, he immediately ordered people to swim across the moat with a ladder, then climbed to the other side of the river, rushed under the city wall, and began to attack the city.

When the thieves at the head of the city raised their heads again, the Ming army had already climbed up the ladder. There was another fierce white-knuckle fight, and as more and more Ming soldiers ascended to the top of the city, the thieves in the city were killed and scattered, and they fled in all directions.

Kill the thieves who guarded the city gates, and someone lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gates. Dongsheng poured in with the rest of the men and horses.

At this time, the guns of the Ming army were no longer sounding, because they ran out of ammunition. But these firecrackers are not burning sticks, they are also their weapons. Lin Yi had already done special training for them, and they could still annihilate the enemy without bullets.

Because their guns had been improved and equipped with bayonets more than a foot long. Close the bayonet when not in use, and open it when in use.

It's like the 38 big cover of later generations, so the Ming army picked the remaining thieves with these things, and a bayonet went down to be a heart-piercing cold.

Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi fought desperately, and the two of them were anxious. Didn't you say that the Ming army would be attacked on several sides? It's been like this for a long time, where have all those people gone? King Chuang and Liu Zongmin should also rush over from Nanyang?

The two of them became more and more angry, and the more they killed, the more they were outnumbered, and the last two people were also wounded in many places, and they fled from another city gate with only more than 200 wounded soldiers left.

Dongsheng's musket battalion, after more than an hour of fighting, took the inner village city.

Look inside and outside the city, up and down the city. The banks of the moat and the moat were full of dead bodies, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.

Dongsheng reorganized his soldiers and horses, and in this bloody battle, his battalion also suffered thousands of casualties. But no matter what, the first battle was won, the battlefield was placed outside the city, and the strategic goal of winning the inner countryside city was achieved in one fell swoop.

But this can't be counted yet, because the task given to them by Lin Yi is to immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses and send them to Nanyang City after taking the city.

After a short rest, the ammunition was replenished, and 500 men, including some of the wounded, were left behind, and a general of the army was put in charge of cleaning up the battlefield and maintaining order in the city.

Dongsheng personally took the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers of the musket battalion out of the north gate and went to Nanyang City to kill......

When Li Guo's father and son and Yuan Zongdi's Liu Fangliang were defeated, Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu also ran away with the remnants of the defeated generals.

Gan Bao led the men and horses of the standard camp to chase after him. The men and horses of the standard battalion are all cavalry. Chase and release arrows, chase and release guns.

Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu's men and horses fell down while running, running out of dozens of miles in one breath, and when they ran outside Xinye City, Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu looked behind, it was too miserable, in addition to their brothers, the soldiers who followed up were countable, and at most there were more than 100 people.

When I left the city two hours ago, there were 3,000 people, but now there are only more than 100 people left, but fortunately not all the troops were wiped out. Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, what about them? What about King Chuang and Mr. Liu of Nanyang City?

Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu were puzzled, and now was not the time to think about this, so they ran into the city, the drawbridge was pulled up, and the city gate was closed, intending to hold on to the city.

But these more than 100 people are too few, don't look at Xinye County as a small county, but it is ridiculous to ask more than 100 people to defend it. More than 100 people are estimated to be able to defend a home at most.

Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu remembered that they almost came out of the nest, because at that time, they only wanted to wipe out this official army, and of course all the people and horses that could be brought out were brought out. Thinking that the officers and soldiers will inevitably be fooled, now it seems that the officers and soldiers were not fooled, but they were fooled!

At this time, in addition to the more than 100 remnants of the defeated generals who were lucky enough to come back, it is not a fact to say that there is no general, and as a result, these two generals fed the grass in the city to the horses, burned the fire and cooked, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and all such soldiers were brought to the city to defend the city, and the common people were almost not allowed to go up, so it was only three or four hundred people.

At this time, the men and horses of the standard camp chased them outside the city, and after Gan Bao rested for a while, he began to launch a fierce attack on the small city of Xinye.

More than 3,000 soldiers of the standard battalion are all tigers descending from the mountains. Although the moat has been widened and deepened, and the city walls have been thickened and heightened, it can't stop this tiger and wolf army at all. The key is that there are too few guards in the city, three or four hundred people are still the same generals, no matter how brave Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi are, they can't cover the sky with their hands.

As a result, within an hour, this impregnable small county town was broken by the official army. With more than 3,000 people, Gan Bao poured into the city like a tide and rushed to kill.

Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu fought desperately, and in the end, only a few dozen people were left around them to escape from the city and escape.

At this point, the Ming army completely occupied this small city, and Gan Bao ordered his subordinates to strictly enforce military discipline and not disturb the people. Otherwise, Lord Lin will blame him, and none of them will be able to bear it.

Counting the number of people, Lin Yi's standard battalion has a total of 3,500 soldiers, and the casualties have not exceeded 300 so far, which means that more than 200 people were attrition in this war, including the dead and wounded, but they annihilated the 3,000 men and horses of Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu, and captured Xinye County in one fell swoop.

Gan Bao singled out a trustworthy general, leaving him a total of 500 people even with the wounded, guarding Xinye, taking care of the wounded, and maintaining order in the city.

According to Lin Yi's prior agreement, Gan Bao took the remaining more than 2,700 standard battalion soldiers out of Xinye and went straight to Nanyang City......
