The camp of Sun Kewang outside the city of Chengdu.

A few days ago, Sun Kewang defeated his fierce rivals Gao Guiying and Li Yan, entered Sichuan from Yunnan, and recaptured half of Sichuan.

Gao Guiying and Li Yan held on to the city without fighting, they approached the city, and after the siege was hopeless, they tried every means to force the Ming army to fight. But no matter how Sun Kewang's men and horses tossed outside, Gao Guiying and Li Yan closed the city gate and ignored them.

But in the past few days, Sun Kewang's men and horses outside the city have not come to call the city for a scolding battle.

Of course, they also have an intelligence system, and Lin Yi drove into Chengdu with an army of 100,000, and the momentum was naturally not small.

The Ming army came with so many reinforcements at once, although Sun Kewang and others were arrogant, they had to think about it, especially when Lin Yi, the Ming Supervisor, came to personally supervise the teacher.

Now when it comes to Lin Yi, women and children all know it, and everyone knows it, like the sun and the moon in the sky.

Lin Yi has traveled over the past ten years, and he has been vigorous, daring to be the ancestor of the year, starting from a border army pawn, punishing thieves, killing factory guards, and killing Tartars, all the way vigorously, especially in recent years, the rise of the god of war. Shooting the sky, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, etc., which of these thieves was not planted in the hands of Lin Yi?

The north drove the Tartars, the expedition to Mongolia, the court surrendered, the soldiers were invincible, from Huang Taiji to Dolgon, how many heroes and heroes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, actually bent their waists for Lin Yi, and they had no temper at all when they were tossed.

Just ask such a popular person, which one is not in awe?

Therefore, Sun Kewang's soldiers and horses did not dare to call for battle outside the city easily, ran under the noses of the Ming defenders outside the city, drank and scolded the streets, played with women, and even and peed on the Ming army at the head of the city, all of which were insulting and provocative.

Moreover, Sun Kewang ordered the troops to retreat fifteen miles, re-encamp and go down to the village, and sent a large number of war horses to investigate the situation of the Ming army, and then immediately convened his staff to discuss the military situation.

There are many talents in the big tent, and their men and horses can now be roughly divided into three factions, one is the remnants of the Great West led by Sun Kewang, which is of course the mainstream, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

The second faction is the Burmese army that supports Sun Kewang, mainly an invincible elephant army, as a special soldier, they were ordered by the king of Burma to cross the border to help the soldiers.

Then there is the Yunnan Wang Mutian and his Tusi army, which also has 70,000 or 80,000 people. These three forces are combined, with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and their strength is very strong.

In the big tent, Sun Kewang sat in the middle, Ai Nengqi and Mu Tianbo were left and right, the think tank was strict with his life, the general Wang Dingguo, Ma Yuanli and others were also sitting, these are all followers of Sun Kewang in Zhang Xianzhong's group, Yan Ximing was once the right prime minister of Daxiguo, Wang Dingguo was once the former army commander, Ma Yuanli was once the left army commander, because Zhang Xianzhong was imprisoned in Yanjing, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo fell out, Daxi is now in name only, and now these people have become Sun Kewang's sworn friends.

In addition, Wen Ke, the general of the Burmese army, was also sitting, and the rest were also brave and resourceful commanders of 10,000 people, including Yunnan Tusi generals Sha Dingzhou, Long Zaitian, and Wu Bikui, all of which were of course the hereditary Qianguo Gong Mu Tianbo faction of the king of Yunnan.

Sun Kewang said that everyone must also know that Lin Yi of the Ming Dynasty has personally come to Chengdu, and brought 100,000 reinforcements at once, it seems that the one who comes is not good, the good one does not come, and it doesn't matter if there are more than 100,000 horses, the key is that Lin Yi is brave and invincible in the world, and he is like a god with soldiers, how to deal with the Ming army to capture Chengdu, please give advice.

Some people don't like to listen to Sun Kewang's words, that is, they are not convinced.

The first is Wen Ke, the general of the Burmese army, whose face in this life is like black clay, with a slightly thicker mouth, similar to the character of Stallone in the movie.

This person is not very fluent in Chinese when he speaks Chinese, but everyone here can understand it.

"Why do you say that the surname Lin is so powerful, what is invincible in the world, and he is like a god with soldiers, is he more powerful than our elephant army? It's not that I'm Wen Ke saying a big thing, even if his surname Lin has three heads and six arms, even if he brings a million male soldiers, he can't stand my elephant army to go by, as long as I can find a way to get them out of the city for a decisive battle, I Wen Ke will cover this battle! ”

The guy said that the spitting stars were splashing, and he waved his big fist as he spoke, and the fist was covered with thick hair.

At this time, Enchi intercepted him, because they were here to help, so Enench was polite to him.

"Great Commander Wen Ke is Shenwu, of course, how can Lin Yi's army be compared to the Great Commander Elephant King? However, as the saying goes, a good arrogant soldier will be defeated, and when we encounter such an opponent, we can't take it lightly, so it's better to be cautious. ”

When Enengch said this, he actually gave this Commander of Wink a lot of face, and he was much more arrogant than Commander Win back then. A pair of big hammers are heavy, and there is no opponent. But the bloody battle in Jingzhou back then made him have a long memory, and he no longer dared to say that he was invincible in the world.

At this time, the second unconvinced spoke, and the second unconvinced was of course Yunnan Wang Mu Tianbo.

He was the hereditary Duke of Dian and the great commander of the southern conquest. When Zhu Yuanzhang took Huaixi 24 generals to fight the world, how heroic was his ancestor Mu Ying? He was accepted by Zhu Yuanzhang as a righteous son, joined the army as a young man, eliminated Chen Youliang, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, eliminated Zhang Shicheng, conquered Tibet, and drove the Great Yuan in the north.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally sealed it, and the Duke of Dian was hereditary, and this title was even more awesome than the iron hat prince of the Qing Dynasty.

Now in his generation, there are eleven generations. The Ming Dynasty has been like the sunset on the western mountains, full of holes.

But Mu Tianbo is not sinking, nor is he like other gentlemen, who play with birds and waste their time. But to the ancestors of the courage as an example, plus his family wealth, since he was a child to learn the art of war strategy, please teach him martial arts, when he grows up, he loves martial arts, all over the world famous teachers, and finally practiced an amazing ability, especially good at using the wire copper hammer, it can be said that he has never met an opponent. If it comes to heads-up, even brave masters like Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi have to bow down.

Not long ago, when Sun Kewang's troops entered Yunnan, they competed, Sun Kewang, Ai Nengqi, and Wang Dingguo's three generals joined forces and couldn't win a Mu Tianbo. Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, and Gao Yigong were also defeated under him.

So far, no one has been able to be his opponent, and countless people have been killed and injured by its wire hammer.

Therefore, now when he heard that Sun Kewang and Ainengqi had lifted Lin Yi to the sky, of course he was not convinced.

"Great Commander,"

Mu Tianbo called Sun Kewang the great commander, because now Sun Kewang is not good to mention the inheritance of the Daxi Emperor, after falling out with Li Dingguo, even the number of the troops has changed, no longer mentioning Daxi, but with Mu Tianbo's soldiers, the formation of the rebel army, claiming to be the great commander of the rebel army.

Their banner is the Qingjun side, which is to eliminate the bad guys around the emperor, and the bad guys they are talking about are, of course, Lin Yi.

They supported the crown prince, that is, Zhu Cihong, the son of Emperor Chongzhen. In fact, they did this to pull the tiger skin to make a banner, because they had never seen the prince like at all.

What's even more strange is that Sun Kewang actually played such a slogan, if Mu Tianbo played such a banner, he can be regarded as famous, because after all, he is the Duke of Qianguo of the Ming Dynasty, the hereditary king of Yunnan, the great commander of the southern expedition, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the country to eliminate harm, he also said so.

But Sun Kewang is a little ridiculous to play like this.

Don't forget that his predecessor was the general of the Great Western Army, that is, the thief of the Ming Dynasty. Now that he has changed, he is going to support the prince of Daming. In fact, this is that women want to set up a chastity archway and grandstand.

"Lin Yi's fame Xiao Wang has already heard of it, if there is a chance, Xiao Wang would like to walk with Lin Yi to see who will kill the deer."

Mu Tianbo's words were also very subtle, in fact, what he meant was to find Lin Yi to fight alone, to see if Lin Yi had Sun Kewang, Ai Nengqi and their brothers were really so awesome.

Sun Kewang knew that he was not convinced, and said with a smile: "The prince is brave and martial, and no one can beat him." However, the forest thief's kung fu is weird, and it is not the prestige of the enemy of the commander, and he will destroy his own spirit. In the first battle of Jingzhou that year, his father Zhang Xianzhong laid out an empty city plan, and the planning was seamless, thinking that he could catch the turtle in the urn and get rid of the thief. However, people are not as good as heaven, and somehow, they were recognized by the surnamed Lin, and this thief set up an empty city plan, but let us fall into a big trap. As a result, a bloody battle, corpses were all over the field, blood flowed into a river, in the melee, in the next and the forest thief encountered, and later love the commander, Li Dingguo, and his father Zhang Xianzhong came up to help, and the four of us still couldn't fight him one. Later, there was a Bai Wenxuan, and the five of us worked together to kill the thief, although we killed the thief, but we were seriously injured and almost died, which shows that this thief is fierce. ”

When Sun Kewang said this, the thrilling scene of the bloody battle in Jingzhou still appeared in front of him.

His words also resonated, because several of the generals present had participated in this bloody battle at that time, like Ai Nengqi, Wang Dingguo, Ma Yuanli, etc., who nodded frequently when they heard this, and their hearts palpitated.

In particular, Ai Nengqi felt the same way, and couldn't help but interject: "What the Great Commander said is that we are already lucky to be able to get out of the way." It was also in which battle, the brave and good at fighting Ma Jinzhong and Liu Jinzhong, the two commanders, in order to cover our retreat, intercepted the forest thief to fight, it is said that the two generals were both split under the horse surnamed Lin in front of the forest thief's horse without a triple. ”

Seeing that all the generals present, including Mu Tianbo, were fascinated, Sun Kewang hurriedly pulled the words back.

"Of course, Mu Wangye's copper hammer occupies a must, if there is really that day, Mu Wangye and the forest thief meet, this commander believes that Mu Wangye will definitely be able to slap the forest thief under the horse!"

"Yes, yes, how can we be compared to Prince Mu." Ai Nengqi, Wang Dingguo, and Ma Yuanli hurriedly echoed.

Mu Tianbo was very useful in his heart when he heard this, and said: "With the auspicious words of the Great Commander and everyone, I hope there will be this day."

At this time, Sun Kewang's gaze fell on Yan Ximing's face.

"What do you think, sir?"

He is the only real cultural person here, and the others are all martial artists, this is the right prime minister before Zhang Xianzhong became emperor.

Originally, in the era of Emperor Zhang Xianzhong, there were two prime ministers on the left and on the right, and the left prime minister was like Wang Zhaolin, who was also resourceful and had the talent to govern the country. But Wang Zhaolin supported Li Dingguo and followed Li Dingguo. Now Sun Kewang has a right prime minister left in front of him, Sun Kewang regards him as a military adviser and think tank, and important decisions and tricky matters must be referred to his opinions.

This time, he joined forces with Mu Tianbo and played the banner of Qingjun's side, which was the attention of this Yan Dacheng Prime Minister.

When others were talking about it just now, this big think tank closed his eyes slightly as if he was asleep, and he didn't say a word.

Now hearing Sun Kewang say this, Yan Ximing opened his eyes.

"Great commander, Lord Mu, all the commanders, don't dare to be high, the old man thinks that the key now is to let the forest thieves go out of the city to fight, the brave commanders take our invincible generals to the head, and the elephant army led by the great commander Wen Ke will end up, then the Ming army will be defeated, and the forest thieves can be captured."

When Yan Ximing said this, he stroked his long hair, shook his head, said it easily and naturally, and was confident, and he really had a bit of Zhuge Liang's demeanor.

Sun Kewang, Mu Tianbo and the others nodded frequently when they heard this.

"Sir is really smart, but what if the Ming army still holds the city and doesn't want to fight?"

"Hmph," Yan Ximing snorted lightly with his nose, "Commander Sun said that the forest thieves are invincible in the world, and the soldiers are like gods, and they have won battles over the years, and they are invincible inside and outside the gates, and the reputation on both sides of the Yangtze River has risen, I am afraid that I have long known that there are only myself and no one else, and now there are 100,000 superintendents, and it is impossible to hold on to the city and not want to fight, compared to this time, he is more anxious than us, but his foothold is not stable, this time we retreat ten or five miles, the battlefield has been laid out for the forest thief, wait, he will come sooner or later." ”

Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo looked at each other, and the two of them nodded, "Sir's clever plan, just follow Mr." ”

Late that night, artillery was fired and guns fired again in Chengdu, and the shouts of killing were heard for a long time. Toss in the east, toss in the west.

Such a movement had already alarmed the spies outside the city, Sun Kewang woke up from his sleep, and immediately found Mu Tianbo after receiving the report, the two thought that this was definitely a mutiny in the city, and immediately ordered an army of 100,000 and pulled artillery to attack the city overnight.

The elephant army was also alarmed, and Wink couldn't sleep in a daze, driving thousands of elephants, shaking his fat body and following behind.

When they arrived at the moat, for the sake of safety, Sun Kewang did not immediately order the siege of the city, and they sent people to conduct a careful reconnaissance.

Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo, sitting on horses, looked at the opposite city, at this time the city was like a boiling pot, shouting and killing wave after wave, from time to time the sound of cannons was earth-shattering, the fire first illuminated the eastern sky, and then illuminated the western sky.

After careful reconnaissance, it was confirmed that there was no doubt that there had been a mutiny among the soldiers in the city.

"Set up artillery to attack the city, charge!"

At the sound of an order, this army, of course, also had hundreds of red-coated cannons, which were pushed to the artillery positions, and began to adjust the illumination and crosshairs, and load ammunition......

Just when Sun Kewang was tossing them outside the city, the city was already heavily fortified.

At this time, the city gate tower was dark on the surface, quiet, as if the soldiers defending the city had either slept, or they had all been transferred to Pingxi City and went.

In fact, at this time, the number of troops defending the city was twice as large as usual, reaching 160,000, and not a single soldier or soldier slept, all of them were in high spirits, fully armed, staring at the movement outside the city as if facing a great enemy, and were ready for battle, and the red-clothed cannons on the city had already been prepared, and the things defending the city such as rolling wood thunder stones and bows and arrows were piled up.

It's just that the Ming army in the city controlled the torches, of course, they were afraid that the spies outside the city would find out the truth.

Gao Guiying, Song Xiance, and Li Yan all stood on the head of the city with their helmets and armor, and the rest of the generals Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Huang Degong all appeared in the city at this time, and there was no shortage of them.

When Gao Jie, Zuo Liangyu and Li Chengdong were tossing in the city, these generals were already in place.

Gao Guiying, Song Xiance and Li Yan also received the report, and they all scolded Gao Jie and Zuo Liangyu for being cowardly rebellious ministers and thieves.

At the same time, he admired Lin Yi's strategy, thanks to the guardedness of the adults, otherwise they might have really succeeded.

Then many soldiers came to the three of them to ask for an order to send some men and horses to escort and quell the mutiny, especially Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, etc., these old troops of Li Zicheng were scrambling to be the first.

Because they all hate the rebels, and they hate Gao Jie and Li Chengdong even more, they are sentenced to this today, and they betray that tomorrow, without any discipline. What's even more unscrupulous is that they dared to kidnap their leader's wife, and they had already wanted to clean up these scum, and today they can be regarded as seizing the opportunity.

Gao Guiying, Li Yan and Song Xiance rejected them in unison: "Everything is expected by the Lord of the Prison State, our task is to defend the city, and there are standard battalions, invincible battalions, guard battalions and women's battalions over there."

Gao Guiying, Li Yan and Song Xiance gritted their teeth when they said this, in fact, they hated Gao Jie and Li Chengdong even more, especially Gao Guiying, and they couldn't wait to catch him and Xing Shi and others.

Helplessly, Lin Yi ordered no one to dare to disobey.

"But what are we waiting here, do you expect them to come and attack the city?" Many generals raised objections.

"Don't worry, they will definitely come, and the Lord of the Prison Country has always been safe."

……

Soon they received a report that the rebel Gao Jie's troops had been quelled, and Zuo Liangyu's men and horses had been trapped.

Gao Guiying, Li Yan, Song Xiance and others all breathed a sigh of relief. The adults are really in their chests, how can Gao Jie and Zuo Liangyu's rabble be the opponents of the standard camp and the invincible camp? These two battalions of men and horses dealt with them like slaughtering pigs and slaughtering dogs' ears.

It's just that now Sun Kewang outside the city doesn't know if they will be fooled, and the mutiny in the city should have been spread a long time ago, right?

Gao Guiying, Song Xiance, Li Yan and others were waiting in the city.

When the fourth watch was approaching, I really found the situation outside the city, and countless dark shadows were surging under the night.

Gao Guiying, Li Yan, Song Xiance and others were overjoyed, "My lord is really clever, Sun Kewang really fell for it!" ”
