Lin Yi's second command was sent to the second battalion, that is, the artillery battalion, Lin Yi told Wang Qi and Dongsheng to put the large and small artillery units in the dark high places in the ravines on the shore, Cao Cao's men and horses would be defeated after being ambushed, they could only run to the river, if they ran in other directions, you can shoot artillery wherever you go, remember not to waste ammunition, just beat them back.

"No." The second general said yes and went out to prepare.

In the third order, Lin Yi called Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan over, these two peasant warriors are also blessed now, they eat red faces, their brains are full of fat, and they are overly energetic at first glance, especially Jiang Xingyuan is tall and big, not yet forty years old, and his big belly is erect. The face is very rich, and the meat on the face is shaking when he walks, or if he doesn't wear a military uniform, the image is similar to that of the butcher who kills pigs and sells meat.

"You two and your brothers from the standard camp are lying in ambush at Yehuling, fifteen miles from the river bank, where there is a jungle high up, just where the soldiers are hiding."

"Yes!"

The standard battalion is the third battalion, this is Lin Yi's strongest combat effectiveness battalion, and it is also Lin Yi's family foundation that has been running for many years, this battalion makes the two of them responsible, and these two don't dare to think about it at all.

There are so many cronies and generals around Lord Lin, how can they not be beaten in terms of merit, bravery, and qualifications, they really look up to them so much, they don't hesitate to go to the soup and fire, and the second general was so grateful that he hated to die for Lin Yi immediately.

Now that this command was on the heads of their three battalions, the second general was both excited and felt a great responsibility. Don't say a word, clean and crisp, prohibitive, never drag mud and water, bargaining, this is the standard of soldiers that Lin Yi usually instills in them, these two keep it in mind.

Lin Yi advised: "The key to this battle lies in your third battalion, the first battalion will lure them over, and the rest will be handed over to your third battalion, remember that only when the thieves chase them to the ravine under the ridge, you can kill them, late or early, understand?" ”

"Don't worry, adults, I understand, I will make them fart!" The two peasant warriors straightened their chests and said with an urn sound.

Xiao Ying and Zhezhe were a little puzzled, why didn't Cao Cao's men and horses ambush the troops as soon as they came ashore, but ambushed the men and horses so far, wouldn't this allow the thieves to gain a firm foothold after crossing the river? Is Brother Lin afraid of losing his reputation among thieves?

The two beautiful elves didn't dare to interject and ask more questions at this time, so they only thought about it in their hearts.

Lin Yi called Wang Jian to the front, and his four battalions were also the most critical in this battle, because the four battalions were responsible for grain and grass and military supplies, and they must not make any mistakes, otherwise, if Cao Cao robbed his grain and grass, they would have been defeated without a fight.

"Don't worry, if you have subordinates, you will keep the four camps safe, and if something goes wrong, you will have the heads of your subordinates." Wang Jian said angrily.

The Fourth Battalion is now camped on a hill more than 20 miles from the riverbank, where more than 10,000 people and horses are fed with grain, grass and military supplies.

The fifth and sixth battalions moved with Lin Yi to the hills more than ten miles to the northwest, which was his condescending headquarters, and the deputy general Zu Keyong followed Lin Yi and was called at any time.

Lin Yi, like Zhuge Liang, arranged the soldiers and horses of the five routes in an orderly and seamless manner, and the generals, including Zu Keyong, had to admire.

It's just that Zu Keyong still faintly feels a little bad in his heart. In the face of Luo Rucai's 60,000 army, can such an arrangement be possible? In case of a mistake and all the previous achievements are wasted, for him and Lin Yi, this is a gamble that can only be won and not lost.

After the division of troops, the battalions will move immediately.

Lin Yi first went to the river, looked at the camp defense set up by the two tigers, and was quite satisfied, and then went to the artillery camp position to see their arrangement.

Wang Qi and Dong Sheng were commanding the soldiers to deploy the cannon and transport the ammunition, because they had to pull the behemoth of the cannon to the hidden place on the hill, and one cannon was one or two thousand catties, so they could only use livestock strength and manpower. Fortunately, there are more people to work and more livestock, so this difficulty is nothing. In just over an hour, the cannon was deployed.

The second battalion used 60 artillery pieces, most of which were red-coated cannons, and a few tiger squat guns supplemented the gaps. The muzzle of the black hole condescendingly focused on several places in the west, northwest, north and northeast, here are the junctions, some are hills and wilderness, leaving only one east, there is the place where the ravines are crisscrossed, in addition to these, the thieves who go ashore can't go up the mountain, can't enter the ground, can only turn around and run to the river, Lin Yi wants this effect.

Lin Yi looked at the top, and then ran down to look, the individual angles were still a little dissatisfied, according to the topography here, some places could not be covered by firepower, Lin Yi ordered the brothers of the second battalion to bury some gunpowder in several places to help the effect.

Of course, Lin Yibu's artillery was a bluff, because his troops were limited, and it was impossible to blockade all the places on the shore, and the focus was on the ambush of the three battalions, and then the soldiers of the first battalion cooperated with them to kill back, and defeated the thieves on the banks of the Baishui River.

After Lin Yi finished reading all the arrangements, he returned to his camp, and only then did Xiaoying and Zhezhe dare to say the doubts in their hearts that they had been holding back for a long time.

Lin Yi smiled, "You two are just thinking nonsense, this is not a martial arts novel, what else do you talk about winning with thieves?" Do you know how to fish? I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Cao Cao is a person at both ends of the first mouse, and it is not so easy to let him be fooled, you will know when the time comes. ”

……

Just when Lin Yi dispatched troops and deployed suspicious soldiers on the shore, of course the thieves on the other side were not idle.

Luo Rucai pushed away the entanglement of a group of beautiful wives, and took the generals Bang Tian, Dongshan Tiger, Yang Chengen, Li Rugui, Ji Si, Chen Sheng and nephew Wang Long, etc., also wandering around the banks of the Baishui River, they rode horses and stopped, pointing and pointing.

It has been more than three months since they started their army, and they have made a fuss in Yunzhou and Junzhou, beating the local officials and soldiers to flee, and then rushing into the city, killing officials and seizing mansions, bloodbathing the mansions of officials and local tyrants and inferior gentry, killing people like hemp, and looting grain, horses, gold, silver, and treasures can no longer be taken away.

Luo Rucai was born in poverty, he couldn't afford to marry a daughter-in-law in his early years, and after becoming a thief, it was different, he robbed when he saw a beautiful person, this time he turned against the water, whether it was a rich man's little wife or a woman from a good family, as long as he was young and beautiful, he snatched it, and there were dozens of beautiful women who were collected into his bed, and they were taken wherever they went.

However, the scenery on the surface can not hide the emptiness and terror in his heart, of course he knows that the court can not give up with him, sure enough, soon Xiong Wencan mobilized soldiers to come, after Xiong Wencan's accident, Yang Sichang personally sent out to supervise the division, and requisitioned soldiers and horses from Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Sichuan, Huguang, Nanbei, Zhili and other places to encircle and suppress them.

The eighth king, Zhang Xianzhong, ran away after burning and looting, and Luo Rucai had enough trouble here, so he couldn't wait for death here, and he had to run away. Thinking about it, this place is close to my hometown in Shaanxi, and I have to go back to Shaanxi, and I am not sure of other places.

Luo Rucai ran away, Liu Zeqing's Shandong soldiers, Zhu Dadian's Nanjing soldiers, Hu Dawei's Baoding soldiers and so on came one after another, and tens of thousands of well-equipped officers and soldiers chased after Luo Rucai all the way to the Baishui River.

Seeing the official and military camps on the north bank, the matter of how to cross the river was put on the agenda.

"Master Luo, what's so difficult about this, my subordinates have already sent people to figure it out, there are only about 10,000 officers and troops on the other side, and the leader is Lin Yi, the chief of Miyun. Although the river was wide, it was not deep and rapid, and it rushed through the shallow place with a bang. His deputy Bang Tian saw Luo Rucai's brows tightened, and he couldn't help but say.

Crashing the sky is Zhang Tianlin's nickname, Luo Rucai shook his head when he heard it and said, "Brother Zhang doesn't know, who is Lin Yi?" This person is brave and good at fighting, using soldiers like gods, repeatedly defeated the Tartars, only a few years from the side of the army pawn to the faint monarch and the minister, recently I heard that the shooting of the sky, the stars of the sky have been cut to his hands, for this person must be guarded against ah. ”

As soon as Luo Rucai's voice fell, his subordinates didn't like to listen to it, "Luo Ye, what's so great about his surname Lin, he is not talented, he is willing to open the way for Luo Ye in front, cut off this guy's head, and see if he is still arrogant." ”

It was Dongshan Tiger who spoke, his real name and surname Shi, called Shi Wankui, the most courageous general under Luo Rucai, with two guns in his hands, and he had never met an opponent.

Luo Rucai saw that it was him, and said: "This matter is reckless, let's plan again." ”

Luo Rucai finished looking at the company camp of the Ming officials on the other side, inspected the river, knew it well, and returned to the camp to discuss countermeasures with the generals.

Zhang Tianlin said: "Luo Ye can't hesitate any longer, we don't have much time, we must hurry across the river, otherwise a few official dogs will chase after it, and it will not be so easy to cross the river again." ”

"Well, there are not many officers and soldiers, we can cross the river, but we can't cross the river from the shallow water, we must cross the river from the depths of the water." Luo Rucai finally made up his mind.

"Master Luo, the shallow water is well guarded, but we are good to cross the river, and there are many soldiers and horses, so we can kill them when we get there, although the water is deep and the defense is negligent, but I am afraid that it is not easy to cross the river there." ”

Luo Rucai smiled, "I have already seen it, although the water is deep there, the water flow is not urgent, it is no problem to cross the river from there, and some soldiers and horses are unexpected, and the officers and troops in the shallow water will inevitably be in chaos, and we will be." Dongshan Tiger, you should take some brothers who know how to swim through the deep water area and kill the defenders on the shore, and it is not difficult to kill them with your bravery. After killing the generals there, remember not to pursue. ”

"Master Luo, why don't you take advantage of the victory to hunt them down?" Dongshan Tiger was puzzled.

Luo Rucai smiled slyly, "Brother Shi, don't you see that there is an ambush on the shore." What about more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, and how many birdmen are on the other side? This is a trap set by the surname Lin, hum, play this set with my old Luo, his surname Lin is still a little tender! After you cross the river, occupy the other side of the river, and only kill the defenders on the bank, they will surely break away, as long as you don't chase them, you can do it, and then cover the brigade to cross the river. Wait for Lao Tzu's men and horses to cross the river, and then clean up their eight lambs, this time Lao Tzu will let their ambush soldiers mold on the shore! ”

"Yes." Dongshan Tiger Shi Wankui carried two guns and promised to order troops.

Subsequently, Luo Rucai gave an order: "All assemble, listen to my orders, and prepare to cross the river!" ”

As soon as the order fell, all the fifty or sixty thousand thieves took action, and the camp tents were demolished, and some of them had several horses for one person, and the horses were full of loads, which were all things they had robbed, and they were ready to rush to the crossing.

Shi Wankui was covered in clothes, carried two guns behind his back, picked five hundred elite soldiers, all of whom knew how to water, took knives and guns, and followed him to the shore.

"Get into the water!" As soon as Shi Wankui gave an order, he went into the water with 500 people, and the waves splashed, and the 500 thieves swam to the opposite bank.
