Both sides are actively adjusting their deployments and preparing for engagement. Suddenly, I heard that there was chaos in the camp of Tang Wuwei, and hundreds of yuan cavalry rushed out of the camp one after another, which was Li Zhenxiong's department. Not long, most of the Yuan cavalry was blocked by the horse such as the dragon, or died or captured, the rest of the hundred cavalry rushed out intermittently, and did not dare to run directly to the west of the city, this side of the torch company camp, it is clear that the two armies are about to engage in the scene, the Yuan cavalry has long been frightened, how dare to throw themselves into the net, see the side is dark and swarthy, is a gap in the battle array, have rats scurrying away.

At this time, the camp of Tang Wuwei was completely lost, Yu Zhilong led the crowd to pursue out of the camp, and saw that the overall situation here had been decided, so he immediately divided his troops to the Weizhou army camp to support Wu Sheng and Pang Biao. He led nearly 1,000 people to help Qian Zheng quickly.

When they arrived first, Tian Hui and Meng Qingbu were unable to gain a firm foothold under the step-by-step counterattack of Yu Zhilong, Ma Rulong, and Qian Zheng, and were slowly retreating.

Meng Qing could have done his best, but when he thought of it, he had repeatedly ordered himself to fight the vanguard, fight dumb battles, and fight tough battles. In the end, I don't want to. At this time, the overall situation here has been decided, even if the enemy in front of it is defeated, the Meng Clan rebel army will inevitably suffer great losses. It is not easy for me to work hard to raise and build the army, but I don't want to lose my roots, so after making a roundabout action to meet the attack, there are no more actions.

On this night, the two sides were almost entangled and killed until dawn, and the Yuan army completely lost two camps in the south of the city, losing more than 2,000 officers and soldiers. Tang Wuwei only had 100 people left in his life, and he was almost completely annihilated; Nearly half of the Weizhou soldiers escaped, and after the officers and soldiers abandoned the camp, they lost their weapons and armor, and many of them swam across the river to pick up a life. Qingfeng Zhai was ruthless, unwilling to keep prisoners, if it wasn't for the Jing'an army to help them break the camp, they would have stopped some, and in the end they had more than 100 prisoners. But the captive Yuan rode around three hundred.

In the end, Mu Chun, Wan Jinhai and others went out of the city to respond, but they also saw too many losses, the camp in the south of the city could not be saved, the soldiers were demoralized, the governor could not do anything, and they had to sound the gong in the morning to withdraw the troops. Yu Zhilong did not chase after him, gathered his troops, cleaned up the battlefield, and used the dilapidated camp of the Yuan army in the south of the city to repair it slightly and temporarily settle down.

After retreating to the camp first, Yu Zhilong arranged for various departments and Qingfeng Walled City to be stationed outside, and then rode into the city. The soldiers and civilians in the city almost greeted each other, cheering and crying endlessly.

At the beginning, some people secretly speculated that General Fei led the elite south to avoid the dangerous place of Linqu, and if he saw that he could not do anything, he should abandon the whole city and find a way out. Later Ji Xiancheng, Qu Bo and others carefully explained to the generals, and strictly forbade private discussions to avoid shaking the morale of the army. In the first two days, the city's defenses were crumbling, and after barely holding on, these speculations were the most obvious, so that Ji Xiancheng had no choice but to behead four or five soldiers who were selfish in front of the army.

Now that General Fei and others have relieved the siege in the south of the city, Linqu has finally been relieved, and the soldiers and civilians in the city have rushed to tell each other, crying with joy.

Although most of the Yidu Yuan army was still stationed in the north of the city and had not been withdrawn, the dawn had appeared, the haze had dissipated, and when they heard that Yu Zhilong had entered the city, tens of thousands of people poured into the streets, burning incense and kneeling to welcome the general.

The city was full of jubilation, like a new life, the noise was boiling in the sky, and the Yuan officers and soldiers outside the city were demoralized and whispering.

He also sat in the tent first, his face was gloomy, his eyes were full of anger, and all the generals under the tent lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to speak.

In the first battle, the Yuan army lost troops and lost generals, Tang Wuwei can be said to be dead, and there are only more than 100 defeated soldiers who can escape back, Li Zhenxiong has not been seen, and some people have glimpsed him turning over and falling off his horse, and he must have died in the chaos.

The battle in which Jingshi Suwei was completely annihilated by the enemy was only comparable to the defeat of the Asov army since the founding of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

These guards are stationed in the abdomen, and they are the core military force of Dayuan, and they are the mobile elite military forces controlled by the Privy Council.

It is not as good as cutting off one finger if you injure ten fingers, and it is inevitable that there will be injuries in battle, and it is understandable that the casualties will be large. However, the annihilation of a Su Guard Army was annihilated, and the impact was too great, and Yidu Road was really difficult to explain. Although the responsibility lies mostly with Li Zhenxiong's lack of military discipline and vigilance, the Privy Council may not think so. is also the first commander, and the blame cannot be escaped.

The most annoying thing is that the Shuntian army and thieves won a big victory in the night attack, and now the thief army's heart is greatly boosted, and its strength and momentum are no less than their own.

Jiang Bin and the others under the seat tightened their thick eyebrows, and they were at a loss for a while.

At this time, Yu Zhilong and his entourage squeezed away the excited people who flocked on both sides, and finally came to the county office, everyone sat down, and Ji Xiancheng briefly described the Linqu battle.

Yu Zhilong saw the dilapidated Jing'an army camp outside the city on the road, and he deliberately circled half a circle on the city wall to overlook the scene inside the city. Many houses in the city were destroyed, and the barricades were densely packed, and the further north the city went, the more the houses were damaged, and the ground was littered with rubble and blood, as if they had been plundered by the rebels.

Qian Zheng turned around last night to report the bloody battles in the city in the past few days, and Yu Zhilong and the others were already shocked after hearing it, and today they witnessed the tragic fighting in the city.

Ma Rulong, Qian Zheng, and Yu Shichang saw the broken city wall with their own eyes this time, and they couldn't help but empathize with the hardships of defending the city. At the beginning, it was agreed that Ji Xiancheng would preside over the guard, and the two were still a little unconvinced, but now they saw that the military and civilians in the city were still full of fighting spirit and commanded, so they secretly obeyed.

Wu Sheng, Pang Biao and others were shocked and speechless when they saw the bloodstained city wall, the ruined buildings, the countless stumps and broken arms in the field outside the wall, and the abandoned broken internal organs thrown everywhere.

Liu Zhengfeng's death, in fact, did not have much impact on the morale of the city defense this time, one is because Liu Zhengfeng has not been in power for a long time and the subordinates of the various ministries have not been completely completed, and the strength of the two Shuntian Army departments is not much different except for the Jing'an Army, Liu Qi, Wan Jinhai and other departments are more independent, and the generals have long been accustomed to controlling their subordinates.

Wu Sheng and others met with everyone for the first time, Yu Zhilong introduced the two sides to meet, and after a greeting and a long time of mutual admiration, everyone looked at Yu Zhilong. This time, Yu Zhilong led troops back to help, about 4,000 soldiers and horses, plus the existing soldiers in the city, almost the same as the Yuan army outside the city, and last night's attack on the camp was a big victory, the morale of the army was high, and all the soldiers were willing to let go of the enemy again.

The military heart is available, and Yu Zhilong's heart is full of joy, especially when Tang Wuwei was annihilated. The powerful assault force of the Yuan army is no longer to worry about, the morale of the own side is high, the other side is depressed, and it is the right time to fight a decisive battle with the enemy at this time!

Wan Jinhai applauded excitedly and shouted: "I've had enough of the anger of the thieves and birds in the past few days, General Fei has returned to help, we are like seeing the blue sky, this time we will definitely kill the Tartars and can't find the north!" ”

"Exactly! The Tartar insulted my wife and daughter outside, killed my father and brother, this blood sea is deep, and if you don't swear it, you won't be a person! Xia Houen gritted his teeth and said.

Because the Yuan army plundered the army outside, wantonly searched for women, and most of the people who failed to flee into the city were taken captive and killed, and many of the soldiers of the Shuntian army had relatives who were held by the Yuan army or killed, and the will of the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist was so firm, and the Yuan army also acted for a reason. Most of Xiahuen's goods and a few beloved women were also lost in the rebellion.

Qu Bo and the others said hatefully: "If you can catch Liu Qi, you will definitely stab this thief in front of the tomb of Liu Tianwang!" ”

Liu Qi suddenly turned back, except for Yu Zhilong and other generals of the Jing'an Army who had investigated beforehand, the rest of the generals of the Shuntian Army did not know.

In order to plan for the long term, Yu Zhilong will plan and let Liu Zhengfeng attract the attention of Yidu Road in the bright place, and he only leaves behind him inside and outside the city to deal with it secretly, but this matter is only controlled in a small circle in the Jing'an Army, and the outside world does not know.

"Liu Tianwang was killed by a traitor, my generation must ask the Tartars for blood debts, as for Liu Qi, this betrayal friend for glory, the crime is unforgivable, he will meet on the battlefield every day, and he will never let go. Calm down a little, then go back to rectify the soldiers and horses, last night's Tartar was defeated, today is estimated that there will be no more big moves, it is better to wait for us to repair a book today, about tomorrow's decisive battle, a showdown! ”

Qu Bo, Wan Jinhai, and Xia Houen looked at each other, then got up together, went down to the front of the hall, and knelt down in unison: "Since Liu Tianwang is dead, there can be no master in the army, dare to ask General Fei to take command, Kuang Fu's great cause!" ”

Liu Qi rebelled against Yuan, Qin Zhanshan was booby-trapped by him, Liu Zhengfeng also died, and the Shuntian army was ownerless.

These three are the chief generals of the various departments, and their henchmen will Zuo and others see them bowing and bowing, and they are also following the next hall to bow down, Yu Zhilong is about to resign, and quickly stand up to support everyone, Ji Xiancheng, Ma Rulong, Qian Zheng, Mu Chun, Hou Ying, Huang Er, etc., hula ah and other hula ahs knelt down and said: "Liu Tianwang's revenge must be avenged, now there is no master in the army, the enemy has not retreated, the general should immediately take the throne, gather the army's heart, and fight to the death with the Tartars!" ”

Yu Zhilong said in a panic: "The army has its own laws and regulations, Wan, Qu, Xiahou and other generals are all our army generals, the kid is hopeless, how can he take on this big responsibility?" Gentlemen, please get up quickly, isn't it a disservice to do so-and-so in this way? ”

Wan Jinhai raised his head and said: "The big guy can see clearly, without General Fei, there will be no way for everyone to survive today." Which one is not convinced, Lao Wan is the first not to let him go! ”

Qu Bo bowed and said: "Linqu can have today thanks to the general's merits, and we are sincerely satisfied." How can foolish resources such as the last general be compared with a general? A certain still has some strength, and is willing to lead the horse and whip for the general in the future, and is willing to drive. I also hope that the general will think of the expectations of the military and people in the whole city and ascend to the throne as soon as possible! ”

Ji Xiancheng led the generals and said: "Since the general went south, the soldiers and civilians of Linqu were slaughtered by the Tartars. The general is in power, and he should be in good time, please do not resign! ”

Yu Zhilong shirked again, and the generals couldn't afford to bow down.

Huang Er hurriedly said: "The general has the ambition to drive out the Tartars, why can't a Shuntian king do it?" If you make excuses again, won't it chill the hearts of the big guys, and they will all disperse as soon as possible! "All the generals said yes.

Yu Zhilong said: "That being the case, Yu is willing to be the head of the Shuntian Army, and in the future, he should put on his liver and gall and restore my rivers and mountains!" It's just that this king will never accept it, and I ask you to be considerate of the brothers. ”

Qian Zhengxi said: "Since the general promised, this name is not needed." Hurry up, general, please wait for me! ”

Huang Er, Hou Ying and others happily rushed forward and pulled Yu Zhilong to sit on the main seat in the hall, and the generals bowed respectfully in the hall, and this was the end.

Yu Shichang saw that everyone had this intention, although he was unwilling, he couldn't pull his face, and quietly stood sideways behind, and just reluctantly bent down and arched his hand as everyone knelt down. Yu Zhilong just didn't see it.

Yu Shichang was silent, seeing that everyone was worshipping, he had no intention of doing anything else, Yu Hai and Liu Zhengfeng died one after another, and no one was in charge of him anymore, Yu Shichang didn't like it in his heart, so he simply didn't say hello, turned his head and walked out of the lobby by himself.

After everyone finished casting, Xie Lin glanced at Qu Bo, and Qu Bo said: "Since the general has become the lord, will the name of this Shuntian Army be changed to the Jing'an Army?" ”

Ji Xiancheng nodded, and asked: "General Qu said well, we are already a family, this name is still appropriate for the Jing'an Army?" ”

Yu Zhilong thought it slightly and praised it as good. In this regard, the name of the army is only Jing'an Army.

It turned out that Xie Lin figured out Yu Zhilong's thoughts and knew that he had the meaning of being superior, but it was not good to say, Xie Lin had also secretly discussed with Ji Xiancheng when guarding the city in the past few days, and took the initiative to pick up with Qu Bo and others, and hinted in private. Qu Bo had no intention of replacing Liu Zhengfeng, and he admired the intelligence of Zhilong and others, and gradually had the heart to join the gang.

Yu Zhilong didn't want to be the king, and reluctantly used the name of General Fei to command the whole army first, everyone was puzzled at first, and repeatedly persuaded him, only Xie Lin seemed to have an understanding, there were many people in the hall, he was not good at speaking, just watched.
