Chapter 264: Turning the City Upside Down

"The great commander Zhang Xianzhong, they abandoned the city and fled!" Early in the morning, someone came to the military tent to report to Lin Yi.

Xiao Ying and Zhezhe laughed and said, "As soon as the red-clothed cannon was propped up, they ran away, hurry up and enter the city, my great commander!"

"Zhang Xianzhong gave me this set, do you two want to make this great commander fooled? If you don't study your war books and tactics, see if I don't spank your ass. Lin Yi said, and according to the two of their round little buttocks, there was really a small slap.

The two little beauties blushed, looked at each other, and the flower-like smiles on their faces were a little stagnant, looking at Lin Yi puzzled.

"Can't you see it so obviously, how does this Grand Commander usually teach you?" Lin Yi shook his head and shook his head, like a clever and omnipotent immortal, holding his chest and hands behind his back, walking around.

"Brother Lin is saying that there is fraud in it?" The two beauties said in unison.

"That's pretty much it." Lin Yi nodded and said, "Why don't you want to think about it, Zhang Xianzhong doesn't run early or late, we have a cannon, and he will run away?" Up to now, we have not fought in Jingzhou, there are nearly 100,000 thieves in the city, Zhang Xianzhong is a bandit of the imperial court, unlike Li Zicheng, the imperial court has not been exterminated by heavy troops for more than ten years, but the more powerful the screaming, can such a person be scared away by a few red-clothed cannons? There is not only deception, but also deception. ”

Xiaoying and Zhezhe's two little heads nodded like chickens pecking broken rice, and said in a slight voice: "Yes, yes, Brother Lin is reasonable, so what should we do?"

Lin Yi smiled proudly: "He wants to set up an empty city plan for me, this time Lao Tzu will put an empty city plan for them, come on!"

"Serve the Great Commander." Zhang Hua, the leader of the guards, came in from the outside and bowed.

"Pass my orders, and all the men and horses will enter the city!"

"No." Zhang Hua promised to go out and pass in. Half an hour later, Lin Yi's army of 40,000 troops pulled out the camp and marched into Jingzhou City.

At this time, in the dark, there were several spies of thieves, who could see it clearly, and hurriedly went to report to Zhang Xianzhong and others.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong, who had run for more than forty miles, laughed when he heard it, and stretched out his thumb to his adviser Xu Yixian, and Xu Yixian's laughing goatee pouted proudly.

"Let's go, the more embarrassed the better."

Next, they found a place to hide the grain, grass, baggage and other things, and ambushed 3,000 men and horses to guard here, and the rest of the brigade marched lightly, bringing only a meal of dry food and water, which of course they had prepared in advance, so that the speed was faster.

In one breath they ran out 150 miles, and then his 80,000 men stopped to catch their breath. Zhang Xianzhong immediately gave the order, rested on the spot, buried the pot to cook, ate and drank enough, three hours later, that is, when it was dark, the army marched in a hurry to kill a horse gun, and the third watch of the night must rush to the outside of Jingzhou City, attack the city in a big way, and kill Lin Yi by surprise......

After Lin Yi's men and horses drove into Jingzhou City in the morning, someone came to report in the afternoon that Zhang Xianzhong's brigade had run out for more than 100 miles.

At the time of the night watch, Lin Yi ordered the city to spread a false flag, and the 40,000 men and horses were scattered in various city gates and city heads, except for 1,000 men and horses, and the rest were all withdrawn and ambushed outside the city.

Zu Keyong, Hao Shaoqi, Zhang Hua, Wang Qi, Dongsheng, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, Wang Jian, Xiaoying and Zhezhe and other generals, they all thought that Zhang Xianzhong should really have escaped this time, and their judgment must have been wrong this time, and the thieves have run out for more than 100 miles, what else do they deceive? If there is going to be a deception, who will we put this empty city plan with?

If you don't want to chase the thieves, just sleep in Jingzhou City in peace, so toss for a night, how embarrassing is the thief not coming?

Zu Keyong and Hao Shaoqi came to see Lin Yi with courage.

Lin Yi said: "What is more than 100 miles, as far as I know, Zhang Xianzhong and they can run more than 300 miles in one day and one night!"

The second general didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately followed the order, but he was still a little unconvinced. Is it possible to run more than 300 miles in one day and one night? Ran so far and then killed back, Zhang Xianzhong and they were fed?

It was the second watch of the night, and all Lin Yi's men and horses were ambushed. It is mainly ambushed outside the four gates of the east, west, north and south, and is more than ten miles away from the city gate.

Jingzhou City at night, like a monster, lies prone on the bank of the Yangtze River.

There was still half an hour before the third watch, and he didn't collect it at night to report to Lin Yi, and the thieves really killed a horse pistol, and their forward troops were only more than 30 miles away from here.

Lin Yi looked at Zhang Hua, Xiaoying and Zhezhe beside him when he heard this, what did that mean? If you can't get their pulse, I'm still a fart!

Zhang Hua, Xiaoying and Zhezhe admired the five-body cast, and felt that their Lord Lin was really a god, that is, Zhuge Liang was reborn, and Liu Bowen was nothing more than this in the world!

Lin Yi immediately ordered all troops to be vigilant, the big battle was coming soon, and everything went according to the original plan.

The news spread to the battalions, Lin Yi's generals Zu Keyong, Hao Shaoqi, Wang Qi, Dongsheng, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, etc., these generals were about to fall asleep, thinking that there was no play tonight, and when they heard this, they immediately came to their senses.

At the same time, they also wondered, Lord Lin is really like a god with soldiers, this dedication is ridiculous enough, why do you always cater to Lord Lin Yi? Looks like they'll have enough for another pot tonight.

Lin Yi's 40,000 horses, including the 1,000 ambush soldiers in the city, were all in good spirits and ready for battle.

After another half an hour, that is, at the time of the third watch, Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses really appeared more than 20 miles west of Jingzhou City.

Their horse team was in front, and they ran more than 130 miles after several hours of rapid marching, stopping and waiting for the foot soldiers behind, just after the third watch, Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses gathered more and more here, and 80,000 troops arrived one after another.

During this period, they also picked up all the grain, grass and baggage lost on the way, including ladders for siege of the city, siege vehicles, and so on.

I took a temporary break for about half a stick of incense. After running such a long way, in order to recover the combat strength, it is necessary to take a proper rest, people eat and horses to feed, although it is impossible to bury the pot to make rice, but it is still necessary to eat dry food and drink water.

In order to be safe, during this period, Zhang Xianzhong sent a horse to investigate Jingzhou City and the surrounding movements, and a few horses came back, saying that everything was as old and nothing abnormal was found.

In the dark, Zhang Xianzhong's big yellow face showed a smug smile: The surname is Lin, probably you never dreamed of it, right? Overnight, I, Zhang Xianzhong, came back again, blackmailed my silver, occupied my Jingzhou, the defeat of Xiangyang, tonight, the new accounts and old accounts will be settled with you!

Zhang Xianzhong immediately ordered an army of 80,000 to surround Jingzhou City, Zhang Xianzhong's three godsons stayed by Zhang Xianzhong's side to escort, they led the main force to look outside the West City, Bai Wenxuan, Ma Jinzhong, Liu Jinzhong, Ma Weixing four generals, each with 10,000 horses from the four gates launched a fierce attack at the same time.

At night, it became a sea of torches. The 40,000-strong army, shouting all over the sky, broke the silence of the night, and it was almost overwhelming, storming Jingzhou City from all directions.

In fact, you don't have to attack so hard, just attack it casually. Because now a city is so big that only 1,000 people can defend it. It's not so much a defense, but a run away from the city defense as soon as you hear a movement, or open the city gate and let the thieves in.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong's 40,000 horses attacked Jingzhou City with a charge.

But after attacking in, they felt that something was abnormal, there were no soldiers in the city at all, and the 1,000 men and horses left by Lin Yi were all hidden in the streets and alleys at this time, but how did Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses know, it was clearly an empty city in front of them.

The fourth general felt that something was wrong, he should have been fooled, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Zhang Xianzhong and withdraw the men and horses, but it was too late. Because this is Zhang Xianzhong's brigade, when they saw that Jingzhou City was easily taken down, they also thought they had a plan and killed Lin Yi's men and horses by surprise, Zhang Xianzhong under the protection of his three godsons, with the main force of 40,000 horses from outside the West Gate to the city.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's people retreated outside the city, and those who rushed into the city were a little chaotic.

At this time, dozens of red-clothed cannons outside Jingzhou City roared angrily......
