Lin Yi figured out the ins and outs of the matter to the people who came to move the troops.

Just when Lin Yi was fighting with Ge Zuoying, Sun Chuanting's men continued to pursue Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng sent his nephew Li Guo and general Liu Fangliang to each bring 10,000 horses to break the rear behind.

In the south of Nanzhao City, Li Guo's 10,000 army met Sun Chuanting's troops, which was Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Kaifeng.

Li Guoren is nicknamed a tiger, with a knife in the crotch and a horse, bravely crowning the three armies, invincible. Especially when Li Guo saw Chen Yongfu, he was very red when he saw his enemies, and he wanted to avenge his uncle.

Chen Yongfu will plan what he wants, deceive and lure the enemy deeper, Li Guo fell for Chen Yongfu's plan, and was killed by Chen Yongfu and defeated.

Liu Fangliang's men and horses also encountered Sun Chuanting's troops in the area of Fangcheng, and the main commander of this army was Gao Jie.

As soon as Liu Fangliang saw Gao Jie, he didn't get angry. Because this Gao Jie used to be Li Zicheng's subordinate, and he and Li Zicheng were fellow villagers, and the two of them used to be the best iron buddies.

But this Gao Jie actually abducted Li Zicheng's wife, he and Xing betrayed Li Zicheng, went away, and took refuge in the imperial court, this green hat almost crushed Li Zicheng down.

Liu Fangliang hated traitors the most, and when he heard that this was Gao Jie's team, he couldn't wait to pick Gao Jie off the horse with one shot. At this time, he made the same mistake as Li Guo, originally these two generals were brave and strategic, but at this time they were carried away by hatred.

Gao Jie is not only a woman, the tall and handsome Gao Jie has a real ability, he can charge into battle and lead troops to fight and strategize, otherwise during the Southern Ming Dynasty, he would not have become the strongest Xingping Bo among the warlords of the four towns.

And at this time, he still has two arms under him, one is his concubine Xing. This woman is not an ordinary woman, that is, Li Zicheng's second wife, with good martial arts. The other is Li Chengdong, who is excellent in martial arts and scheming.

Therefore, no matter how powerful Liu Fangliang is, he can't fight these three people. The result was also a victory and then a defeat, and the defeat was miserable.

Li Guo and Liu Fangliang, the two defeated soldiers, met outside Nanyang City. The 20,000 horses that Li Zicheng gave them had already lost most of them at this time. However, the second general has not yet been defeated by this defeat, and is ready to reorganize his men and horses and fight a decisive battle with the official army again.

But at this time, they received an order from Li Yan, the general of Li Zicheng's army, asking them to retreat immediately.

The second general had no choice but to continue to run away with the remnants of the defeated army, and Sun Chuanting chased after him with men and horses, which was also because Emperor Chongzhen chased Sun Chuanting in a hurry, and Emperor Chongzhen was anxious to annihilate Li Zicheng this time.

As a result, in Mentougou, Xixia County, Henan, Sun Chuanting's forward troops encountered Li Zicheng's heavy ambush, and Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Kaifeng, was trapped in a big battle, and Sun Chuanting's men came to rescue, but tens of thousands of horses were also defeated.

At this time, it rained heavily, the guns of the officers and soldiers could not be fired, and more importantly, the grain and grass could not be helped, so Li Zicheng sent the general Yuan Zongdi to cut off Sun Chuanting's grain route.

Sun Chuanting was defeated one after another, and his morale was low, mainly because he had no food and grass, and he was cold and hungry due to the wet weather, and the officers and men in the army complained. Sun Chuanting had no choice but to ask the court for help.

The news of Lin Yiquan's annihilation of the left battalion has already arrived, and he is only three or four hundred miles away, and he is undoubtedly the most promising rescuer.

But Sun Chuanting knew that Lin Yi would definitely not send rescuers. A few days ago, he was going to put him and He Renlong to death, although he was on orders, but these two people are afraid that they have hated him to death, can they save him? It's impossible.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting did not open his mouth at all, but only sought the near and far.

Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers struggled to support it for several days, but first of all, Chen Yongfu's army could not support it. Under the condition that Li Zicheng gave the temptation to ignore the past suspicions and still reuse, Chen Yongfu surrendered to Li Zicheng.

Li Ziguo repaid his grievances with virtue, did not kill Chen Yongfu, made him his own general, let him regain control of the soldiers and horses, and turned around to attack Sun Chuanting's men.

Chen Yongfu is still a person with a conscience, grateful for Li Zicheng's grace not to kill, this kindness is indeed rare, Li Zicheng hurt one eye, not only did not hold grudges, but reused, it is estimated that only Li Zicheng can do it.

Therefore, Chen Yongfu felt deeply grateful and felt that Li Zicheng was enough to be a character, and from then on, he surrendered to Li Zicheng with all his heart. With the army given to him by Li Zicheng, he first defeated Zhu Dadian, the chief soldier of Nanjing, and then drove away Hu David, the chief soldier of Baoding.

In the Xiliu River, Gao Jie's men and horses were entangled, and the two sides fought several times, winning and losing each other. At this time, Sun Chuanting came up with reinforcements, and he hated this Kaifeng chief soldier Chen Yongfu, and personally took four or five thousand Qin soldiers, intending to destroy this traitor to the court.

How do you know that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, just when Chen Yongfu is about to be wiped out, under the strategy of Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and Li Yan, Li Zicheng's main force of more than a dozen troops rushed over from all directions, and suddenly scattered Sun Chuanting and Gao Jie's team, a scuffle, Li Zicheng's men and horses not only saved Chen Yongfu, but also divided and surrounded Sun Chuanting and Gao Jie's men and horses.

At this time, Li Zicheng had an army of 120,000 troops, while Sun Chuanting's men and horses totaled only 20,000 or 30,000, and all of them were soldiers with floating hearts.

A fierce battle that lasted for five days and five nights, and finally Gao Jie, Xing Shi, Li Chengdong and others led more than 5,000 people out of the encirclement.

Gao Jie has a fierce temperament, he is a person who forgets his righteousness, he can kidnap Li Cheng's wife, betray Li Zicheng, and betray Sun Chuanting who pulled him up with his pigtails at a critical moment, not to mention Emperor Chongzhen.

Therefore, Gao Jie saw the situation in front of him, and did not hesitate to leave coach Sun Chuanting and leave with thousands of people.

In his words, even if he could save the Overseer, he would have to starve to death, and would rather be a thief again than live.

As a result, he dragged thousands of people and horses to become a thief, but this was an official thief, burning, killing and looting along the way, running from Henan to Jianghuai, and survived.

Sun Chuanting was left trapped in the Fanggou area, after a big battle, he had been following his henchman Niu Chenghu to death, after Sun Chuanting broke out of the siege, there were only 4,000 Qin army main forces left around him, and he had not yet walked out of dozens of miles and was caught up by Li Zicheng's men and horses in a mountain temple surrounded by a low mountain.

Sun Chuanting's men and horses, in terms of the number of people, are not less than 4,000 now, but they are listless, sore and weak, and they walk as if they can be blown down by a gust of wind.

These are all Qin troops with super combat effectiveness! Don't look at all the Qin army, no matter what kind of army it is, it can't play without food and grass, and it can't be an army that can fight, so Sun Chuanting knows that this time I'm afraid it will be more than lucky.

Li Zicheng's men and horses did not attack the mountain, but they were surrounded below, and it was impossible for their men and horses to rush down and break out of the encirclement, because it had been five days since the army had stopped eating, and everything that could be eaten on this mountain had been eaten.

People are iron rice and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be hungry and panicked, let alone hungry for several days in a row? These thousands of people are all supported by spirit.

It has been raining from time to time for the past five days, and it has been cloudy, so I don't know how long it will last. Everywhere is wet and moldy like the mood of a person.

Sun Chuanting's men and horses couldn't stand the hunger, and some of them drank the mud water on the ground to satisfy their hunger. Some of them pluck the leaves from the trees and look green, but they are bitter after chewing a few bites, because they are not animals after all.

They also thought of killing and eating war horses, but the number of war horses was too limited. At this time, they knew that killing a war horse was almost like killing a suicide, because there were no war horses, they wanted to fight their way out of the encirclement, it was a dead end, and they had already killed a few, the monks had more meat and less meat, and it was useless, and now they were reluctant to kill again, because the remaining war horses, including Sun Chuanting's horses, were already a handful.

Sun Chuanting's mood was very bad, the rescue soldiers of the imperial court, I am afraid that he could not count on it, he pinched his fingers and calculated, the people and horses he sent to move the troops had just arrived in Beijing, even if the rescue troops came immediately, it would take ten days at the earliest, they had been holding out for so long, and in another ten days, I am afraid that they would have perished without Li Zicheng beating them by then.

Sun Chuanting couldn't imagine that he would end up like this. Gritting his teeth at the end, he also let go. As a soldier, it is better to die before the battle, not to die after the battle, and dying in battle may be the best ending, even if the horse leather shroud is also a kind of heroic tragedy.

When Sun Chuanting thought of this, he was also relieved. He plans to cheer up the soldiers again, and then rush out in one go, as for whether they can rush out alive or dead, then leave it to God!

After Sun Chuanting made up his mind, he immediately summoned more than 100 generals to his side for a meeting......

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was dark again, as if dusk had come to the world in advance.

The clouds in the sky were blown by the wind, and they ran forward quickly, as if they were rushing to be reincarnated, strange shapes, like galloping wild horses for a while, like toppled peaks for a while, and like boundless waves for a while.

Finally overwhelmed. The rain crackled and fell again, dripping on the leaves, which were overwhelmed and fell to the ground, adding a little more mud.

At this time, Li Zicheng's big camp under the mountain, the continuous and boundless joint camp, had already surrounded this small mountain.

"King Chuang, it's raining again, and we will be able to annihilate all the officers and troops on the mountain and capture Sun Chuanting alive if we attack now, because the deserters who came down from the mountain say that the mountain has been out of food for several days. The officers and soldiers on the mountain have become tigers with their teeth pulled out. At this time, Liu Fangliang came to Li Zicheng and suggested.

Li Zicheng nodded, but he did not give the order for a full-scale attack, and he still wanted to persuade Sun Chuanting one last time, Li Zicheng hoped that Sun Chuanting could surrender.

Therefore, Li Zicheng led the men and horses, with his clothes and hats, and shouted at the bottom of the mountain in the rain, and his shouting was magnified several times by his soldiers, and the mountain could be heard clearly.

It means that Sun Chuanting should hurry down and surrender with his men and horses, and there may be a way to live. Otherwise, they will attack the mountain, and then they will all die without a place to bury.

Soon Sun Chuanting's reply came from the mountain, which was also amplified, Sun Chuanting beat and scolded Li Zicheng, and would rather die than surrender to the thief.

"Sun Chuanting, since you are so ignorant of current affairs, then no wonder I Li Zicheng, come on......" Li Zicheng's sword eyebrows were upside down, his tiger's eyes were wide, and he was just about to give the order to attack the mountain in a big way, when a war horse ran through the sparse rain and fog.

Immediately, the man shouted as he ran, "It's all out of the way, urgent military situation, I want to see King Chuang......"

When Li Zicheng heard it, he didn't rush to give an order, and soon the war horse arrived in front of Li Zicheng, and the person on the horse rolled the saddle and dismounted, and came to Li Zicheng covered in mud and knelt down and saluted.

"It's a big deal for the prince, and the rescue of the official army has arrived."

Li Zicheng was stunned when he heard this.

"Where did the soldiers and horses come from? How many people are there, and how far are they from here? ”

"Back to the words of the prince, the soldiers and horses from the south are under the banner of Lin Yi, the general soldier of Miyun, and the forward troops are less than 40 miles away from here, and the horse team with the infantry counts as if there are fifty or sixty thousand people."

As soon as Li Zicheng heard Lin Yi's words, his head buzzed.

Maybe it's a conditioned reflex, more than 30 miles away from here is nothing, and he doesn't care about the fifty or sixty thousand people in the official army, Li Zicheng has been dealing with the official army for a long time. But it was this Miyun general Lin Yi, a young man in his 20s, who was the opponent who gave him the most headache.

The former was in the Nanyang area, and because of Song Xiance, he calculated a hexagram for him and asked him to divert to the west, which can be regarded as evading.

But Lin Yi's ghost lingered, he didn't expect Lin Yi to catch up so quickly. The news that the Gezuo battalion suffered a defeat and Ma Shouying and others were wiped out now has also heard about it, and he is even more jealous of this Lin Yi.

The battle ate the horse and returned to the back, just like the people and horses who wiped out Luo Rucai in the first battle on the banks of the Baishui River, which is shocking.

Lao Huihui's strength, of course Li Zicheng knows, don't look at the fifth battalion of Gezuo, there are only three or two battalions left, but the strength still exists, more than 10,000 horses, and there are people like Ma Shouying and Liu Xiyao who can fight for a while.

But I didn't expect that in front of Lin Yi, their Gezuo battalion was simply vulnerable, and I heard that it didn't take a knife or a shot, and there were no casualties, so Lin Yi completely annihilated the Gezuo battalion.

Thinking about this, Li Zicheng shuddered even more, he felt that Lin Yi's opponent was too powerful. He, Li Zicheng, has never been afraid of anyone, and Lin Yi is the first person Li Zicheng has been afraid of in his life.

Before Li Zicheng could speak, the strategist Niu Jinxing spoke, he had always been unconvinced by Lin Yi, and he had long wanted to fight with Lin Yi.

"King Chuang, the surname Lin is nothing remarkable. Niu is not talented, please send a team of men and horses, take advantage of their unstable foothold, wait for work, kill them on their backs, and be willing to be a military commander if they are not victorious. ”

Li Zicheng saw that he had no choice but to do so, and he couldn't hide from this battle. Immediately gave Niu Jinxing 100,000 horses, including 20,000 cavalry, and also sent generals Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, and Liu Fangliang to Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing couldn't help but feel overjoyed, so many generals can't be used at all, 50,000 is enough, but since King Chuang has sent someone to Niu, he will no longer refuse, so as not to say that he is proud and underestimates the enemy. If you don't win, then there is simply no heavenly reason. Don't worry, this time, I, Niu Jinxing, will definitely kill Lin Yi without leaving a piece of armor!
