After Lin Yi ordered the men and horses to set up camp and go down to the village, one did not have artillery, and the other did not attack the city, but specially drew 30,000 horses to surround the city and began to dig trenches.

The nearest moat to the city was a few hundred meters from the moat, and then each of the three moats was separated by hundreds of meters, which was of course a big project.

But again, there are many people who are easy to work, and 30,000 people don't do anything, and they dig trenches very quickly.

Lin Yi ordered the remaining people to stand by to prevent the Dashun army in the city from coming out to make trouble.

Xiao Ying and Zhezhe were puzzled: "Brother Lin, are you trying to divert water to flood the city, but why are you digging three ditches?"

"I'm going to besiege the city and send reinforcements."

"Siege for reinforcements?" The two beauties feel a little fresh, if you besiege the city, 100,000 horses can drain the water in this small city, but why dig a few ditches? Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements?

"You'll know when the time comes. Learn a little, this trick is very useful. Lin Yi didn't say much to them now.

Lin Yi used this trick, which was used by Huang Taiji back then, the Battle of the Great and Small Linghe, and the Battle of Songjin, Huang Taiji used this trick, tried and tested, every time the Ming army was defeated, and a group of famous generals such as Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou were also forced to surrender, and all the elites of the Ming army outside the pass were scattered.

As a famous battle in the late Ming Dynasty, before Lin Yi crossed through film and television novels, he knew all this, and he was well-informed, and now he used this trick to deal with Gao Yigong and Li Zicheng, the mystery of this, of course Xiaoying and Zhezhe didn't know.

Seeing Lin Yi's confident appearance, the two of them didn't dare to ask any more, and the two of them wondered in their hearts, why did their eldest brother Lin have so many wonderful ideas in his head? None of these books that Brother Lin gave them were on.

The Dashun army in the city repelled several attacks of the Ming army one after another, until the Ming army completely retreated and no longer attacked the city.

Seeing the casualties everywhere outside the city, the Dashun army in the city cheered, and the soldiers under Gao Yigong also gave Gao Yigong a thumbs up, "The commander is really clever, the Ming army is wounded and damaged, this time it can be regarded as a lesson." ”

But Gao Yigong was not happy at all, he saw that the Ming army was very brave, especially when he saw Hao Shaoqi, he hated this traitor now.

But Hao Shaoqi does have a set of ways to lead his troops to fight, and Gao Yigong has to be admired, today he stopped attacking the city, if he wants to continue like this, they will definitely attack in. There are more and more Ming troops, overwhelming, and boundless.

No way!

Gao Yigong thought of this and immediately took measures, on the one hand, he prepared more ammunition for the artillery, and then transported more bows and arrows, rolling logs and stones to the city.

Then Gao Yigong still felt that he had no bottom in his heart, what if the city broke?

Soon he came up with a way to plant explosives inside the four gates, and then set fire to them. Dig a pit, if the city can't be defended, and the Ming army attacks it, he is ready to blow it up with explosives and attack it with fire, plus the pit, it will definitely make the Ming army have no return.

Once you've made up your mind, get people ready right away.

At this time, someone came to report that a large number of Ming troops were digging ditches outside the city, and they didn't know what they were going to do?

Gao Yigong was stunned when he heard it, and then immediately led people to the top of the city, and sure enough, hundreds of meters outside the city, countless Ming troops were holding shovels and doing it in full swing. New earth has flown up, and three trenches have begun to take shape, enclosing the small city.

Gao Yigong frowned, and began to meditate, what is the Ming army going to do? Digging tunnels and diverting water are not like it, and for a while, Gao Yigong pondered the intentions of the opaque army.

After I went back, I didn't eat dinner at high school, and I was still thinking about it.

The Ming army did not attack the city for several days, and after the three ditches were dug, they still did not attack the city, but set up camp outside the city.

Gao Yigong suddenly understood the intentions of the Ming army, they were going to trap the city!

These three deep ditches are tantamount to thousands of horses and thousands of armies, the people inside can't get out, and the people outside can't get in. How long can they survive in the small Gaobei shop?

Not counting the common people inside, there are 50,000 troops, people eat horses and feed, how much do they have to consume a day, I'm afraid it won't take a month, and if they don't need the Ming army to attack, they will kill themselves, won't this become a living coffin?

Gao Yigong shuddered a little when he thought of this. No matter how strong the city is, no matter how clever the strategy of defending the city, if people don't attack, it is a star.

Gao Yigong was suddenly a little confused, he didn't expect Lin Yi to give him such a hand.

Sure enough, for ten days in a row, the Ming army outside did not move, and it was consumed like this. However, the food and grass foster care in the city has been urgent, and it can last for another half a month at most, what should I do after half a month?

The hearts of the officers and men in the army have begun to fluctuate, and if they can't do it, they must break through, and they would rather die in battle than be trapped here.

Gao Yigong, who made up his mind, opened the city gate and led tens of thousands of horses to kill.

After Lin Yi got the report, oh, he finally couldn't stay in it anymore and came out? Think beautifully, send them back to me!

Gao Yigong's men and horses were just out of the moat not far away. The red-coated cannon in the outermost ditch rang out, the cannon roared, and the men and horses of Gao Yigong were blown to the ground, scattering and fleeing, with countless casualties.

"Rush me! Don't go back! "Gao Yi took the lead, and Pegasus rushed forward with a knife. The main generals are like this, of course, it can boost morale, and his soldiers will follow him and rush forward.

Gao Yigong's men and horses continued to rush forward, and about 200 meters from the first trench, countless muskets opened fire on them.

The new musket does not need to be ignited, and it sounds as soon as the trigger is pulled, which shortens the time of firing, improves the hit rate, and forms a continuous firepower.

Crackling, gunfire like firecrackers.

The cannon roared, the bullets rained down, and Gao Yigong's men and horses fell down in batches, and Gao Yigong's horse may have been shot and fell to the ground, throwing Gao Yigong off the horse.

Gao Yi attacked with high martial arts and jumped up from the ground.

His soldiers hurriedly changed his horse, and continued to rush forward.

When Gao Yigong rushed to the first trench dozens of meters with many brave men, the Ming army fired thousands of arrows, and the arrows in the air rained down, and the Dashun army was suddenly shot like a hedgehog.

Gao Yigong danced the big knife and dialed the carving.

But the arrow on his horse threw him under the horse again. This time, no one changed the code for him, and when he got up again, there were dead bodies all around him, and he was the only one left.

Gao Yigong only ran back with a big knife in his hand, and failed to break through for the first time.

It turned out that Lin Yi placed cannons, muskets, bows and arrows, and three lines of defense in the middle of the three ditches, and the men and horses of Gao Yigong couldn't even get close to the first trench, and finally the dead bodies left in one place were beaten back.

The next day, Gao Yigong did not give up and organized another breakthrough, but the ending was the same.

In the next two days, at different city gates, he organized three more breakouts, all of which were beaten back.

These five breakthroughs have killed and injured more than 10,000 horses, Gao Yigong looked, this can not rush out at all, there are still more than 30,000 horses left in the city, and they dare not toss anymore, the grain and grass in the city can hold on for ten days at most, and it will be broken after ten days, so when he returns to the city, Gao Yigong is longer than a short sigh.

At this time, Lin Yi's men and horses shouted outside the city, demanding that they surrender, as long as they opened the city gates, laid down their weapons, and walked out of Gaobeidian with their hands held high, Lin Yi promised to give them the treatment of prisoners.

Lin Yi's prisoner treatment is quite high, either acquitted, or let them continue to be soldiers and officers, one will not kill, and the other will not be imprisoned and tortured, which is very tempting.

But Gao Yigong categorically refused to surrender, he encouraged his generals, our majesty will definitely not sit idly by, reinforcements believe that they will arrive soon, and when the time comes, we should join forces inside and outside, and it is not difficult to break out.

Gao Yigong didn't surrender, and Lin Yi didn't order the soldiers to attack the city, so he still guarded it.

After a few more days, the generals under Lin Yi couldn't hold their breath.

"How long do you have to wait, sir? We are attacking the city now, and we can definitely take Gaobeidian in one fell swoop. ”

Hao Shaoqi, Zu Keyong, He Renlong, Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan all invited Ying, ready to move.

Li Zicheng smiled, "What's the panic, Li Zicheng hasn't sent reinforcements yet, this Taishi doesn't believe it, he became the emperor, and he doesn't even want his brother-in-law?" Even if he doesn't want his brother-in-law, see how long they can stay in Chengzhong if they are still in Chengzhong, as long as they don't come out, we won't fight, as long as they come out, we will definitely beat them back. If they don't surrender, let them perish themselves. ”

Gaobeidian is only a hundred miles away from Beijing. Lin Yi and Gao Yigong fought like this in Gaobeidian, and Li Zicheng had known about it for a long time in Beijing.

Li Zicheng hoped that Gaobeidian could stop Lin Yi's army, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to be a step ahead, and he came to a besieged city, and he was not in a hurry to attack the city.

But if it goes on like this, Li Zicheng certainly knows what the consequences are. He can't go to Beijing in a hurry, and Lin Yi can't be in a hurry, but can his brother-in-law stand it? In less than two months, he ran out of ammunition and food, and he brought about his own destruction. His queen wife Gao Guiying has come to him several times because of this matter, and if he doesn't send reinforcements, Gao Guiying will personally take command.

Anyway, Gao Guiying is now the queen of the Dashun Army, how can she let the queen easily take command? Troops must be sent to the rescue.

But if you send reinforcements to Beijing, it means that you must fight with Lin Yi's men and horses, this is Lin Yi's strength, Li Zicheng has no bottom in his heart, who can beat Lin Yi? Even if he drove the expedition in person, I am afraid that he would not have a chance of winning.

It's not that Li Zicheng is too inferior, but the two of them have fought more than once, each time it ended in Li Zicheng's failure, and the worst one was to leave him with 18 horses outside Nanyang City, thinking about this, Li Zicheng has no confidence at all.

This is also the reason why he has been slow to send troops.

However, Li Zicheng now has another problem.
