After several tug-of-wars, Lin Yi's men and horses finally occupied Suide, although the battle was full of twists and turns, but the time was not long, only half a day before and after, and the 20,000 thieves full of stars were scattered.

In this battle, more than 7,000 thieves were killed and more than 5,000 people were captured, not counting the little daughters of the thieves in the city. Since then, the bandits of the Ming Dynasty have also withdrawn from the stage of history, just like shooting the tiger that collapsed the sky and swept the ground.

In this battle, Lin Yi's men and horses also suffered hundreds of casualties, including more than 200 people in the standard camp, mainly because Zu Keyong was arrogant and underestimated the enemy and fell for the thief.

Lin Yi did not cure his crimes, and his merits and demerits were offset.

Needless to say, cleaning the battlefield, burying the corpses, treating the wounded, and dealing with these post-war matters, Lin Yi ordered that the spoils of war should be registered in the books, and thousands of prisoners should be kept in a centralized manner, and they should be allowed to eat and drink, and they were not allowed to abuse them, and then talk about the prisoners when the war was completely over. At the same time, he strictly enforced military discipline, went out to reassure the people, and sent people to inquire about the news in Yichuan.

In the evening of the same day, news came from Yichuan that the attack on Yichuan by the men and horses of Li Guoqi, the general soldier of Shaanxi, failed, and the 8,000 Shaanxi army was defeated and returned, almost annihilated.

Lin Yi already had a premonition of such a result, but he didn't expect to lose so badly. There was no problem with his planning, but due to a change in the middle of the matter, the thieves suddenly retreated from outside Yan'an, which was originally a relatively concentrated war of annihilation, which evolved into two independent battlefields of Suide and Yichuan, so the outcome of this battle must be full of variables.

The Suide snatching battle and the tug-of-war are proof that now the officers and troops in the battle of Yichuan have suffered another heavy defeat, and it seems that these thieves are really difficult to deal with.

Lin Yi questioned the reporter in detail and learned the reason. Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh: "The dignified Shaanxi General Army has been defeated repeatedly, these thieves are too rampant!"

Zhezhe grinned: "How did this Shaanxi general soldier do it, how did he fight a battle and lose a battle?"

A few years ago, when he was the daughter of a hundred households in the guard, he often heard the news of the failure of the official army to suppress thieves, and also heard his father who was the head of a hundred households sigh more than once.

Therefore, Xiao Ying listened to Zhezhe's words, and said disdainfully: "Sister doesn't know yet, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty are all incompetent, fighting for power and profit, intrigue, and fighting for thieves, and there are a few lines of governing the country and the country, do you think they are all generals like Brother Lin?" If you were to do that, the thieves would have been gone for a long time. ”

"That's what my sister said." Zhezhe pursed his lips and smiled, full of charm.

"What the hell is, you two don't talk nonsense." Lin Yi interrupted them, and the two sisters glanced at each other, stuck out their tongues, and immediately didn't dare to speak.

Lin Yi said: "You can't blame General Li for his incompetence, there are many thieves and scheming, you have seen the battle of Longmen Mountain and the battle of Suide, and victory and defeat are common things for soldiers, and it is not a big deal to lose the battle."

"Yes, we were taught." Xiao Ying and Zhezhe nodded hurriedly, resigned, like primary school students receiving respectful education.

Lin Yi immediately decided to send troops to Yichuan, leaving Wang Jian, a servant in the army, with 3,000 brothers from the new training camp to defend Suide and take care of the thieves and prisoners.

Let Zhang Hua bring a few capable entourage, bring his own handwritten letter to Yan'an Mansion, inform Huang Ming, the general soldier of Yan'an, and tell him the situation in Suide and Yichuan, so that he does not have to wait for the internal and external cooperation to exterminate the thieves, and let him immediately send troops to attack Yichuan from the west.

After sending Zhang Hua away, Lin Yi immediately gathered the team, and he personally took 5,000 people south to Yichuan......

Look back at Xi'an Mansion. After Li Guoqi, the chief soldier of Shaanxi, sent Zhang Hua and others away, he immediately gathered people. Of course, there were 10,000 defenders in the city, and they couldn't all be brought with them. Leaving 2,000 men and horses to defend the city, Li Guoqi personally led 8,000 officers and troops to Yichuan.

Yichuan County is only four or five hundred miles away from Xi'an Prefecture, so in less than two days, Li Guoqi's men and horses arrived outside Yichuan City, that is, when Zhang Hua met Lin Yi from Xi'an to Suide, Li Guoqi's men and horses arrived at the predetermined location.

After a short rest, Li Guoqi commanded 8,000 men and horses to launch a fierce attack on Yichuan.

The situation in Yichuan is similar to that of Suide, this is a good den of thieves, but there are not many thieves left to guard. Therefore, 8,000 officers and soldiers occupied Yichuan with one charge.

Unlike Lin Yi's men and horses, Li Guoqi's men and horses rushed into the city and killed people when they saw them, whether they were thieves or law-abiding people, they didn't tell the difference, and as a result, the blood flowed like a river, and the heads were rolling, basically similar to the slaughter of the city, in the eyes of these officials and soldiers, the people in this city, regardless of men, women and children, seemed to have all become thieves. Until all the men in the city were killed and there was no longer any threat to the officers and soldiers, those who took the opportunity to rob property and rape women were everywhere, and those innocent people were considered unlucky.

This is war, war is bound to be turbulent together, the army discipline is poor, soldiers are bandits, bandits are soldiers, no wonder some people will say that since ancient times, soldiers and bandits are not separated. This is why when the war comes, most of the people choose to go out to escape the war.

When encountering a military general like Lin Yi who has good restraint on his subordinates, the common people can suffer less from the war, but if they encounter a team like Li Guoqi, with poor discipline, the common people will fall into blood mold, and there are some officers with soldiers who deliberately rob the troops, like Zuo Liangyu's men and horses, as well as the teams of the four towns in Jiangbei during the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Li Guoqi here is not fiction, there is indeed this person in history, and the discipline of his team is indeed bad enough, according to records, when his men and horses are fighting thieves, there will be mutinies when they walk, and there will be smashing and looting while walking, no wonder such a team will lose the battle.

Li Guoqi took Yichuan and killed the people in the city and the thieves, he felt that only in this way could he stabilize Yichuan and deter the thieves, and then he was very relieved to send troops to Yan'an, and Lin Yi's men and horses surrounded and suppressed the main force of the thieves. But as soon as he stopped killing in the city, the thieves outside the city were killed.

It was the main force led by the lights and mud that came back, they led more than 10,000 people and horses, according to the plan of Guotianxing Hui Dengxiang, to attack Yan'an Mansion from the south, but things changed abruptly, first shot the sky and swept the tiger halfway to withdraw the ladder, and moved to Luliangshan without authorization to pick up a bargain, eat the 7,000 officers and soldiers from Miyunlai, and monopolize these spoils, and their plan to attack Yan'an Mansion was forced to be postponed. Two days later, the news suddenly came that the shooting of the sky and the sweeping tiger were eradicated by Lin Yi in a battle, and several thieves were shocked and were forced to shelve their plan to capture Yan'an, and hurriedly led their troops back to defense.

Not sticky mud and the lights are not on, it is two bands of thieves together, each of them has thousands of people under their hands, although there is no greater power than the stars, but the two bandits together also have more than 16,000 people under their hands, except for more than 1,000 people guarding Yichuan, this time to attack Yan'an Mansion, their two thieves pulled a total of 15,000 people.

On the way back to defend Yichuan, the 15,000 thieves received a report that the official army attacked Yichuan, and they stepped up their march, and it was night when they arrived in Yichuan, and the thieves came here to surround this small county town and launched a fierce attack overnight.

The officers and men woke up from their sleep and hurried to the battle.

Li Guoqi was also alarmed, he thought it was a thief who ran out of the city, and killed a horse gun overnight, these ghost guys who didn't know how to die dared to come back by surprise and sneak attack the general army, this time they were going to be wiped out.

Li Guoqi thought like this, he was draped all over his body, and he took his personal guards to the top of the city, and outside the city, there were torches everywhere, illuminating the surroundings.

By the light of the torches, Li Guoqi looked outside and couldn't help but gasp.

Outside the city, there were thieves as far as the eye could see, and the shouts were earth-shattering. Who are the remnants of the thieves who escaped from the city? At least tens of thousands of horses, right?

But Li Guoqi's official army was frightened, because they had suffered the losses of these thieves. The thieves are ferocious and exterminate humanity, if this small city is breached by the thieves, then how they killed others in the city just now will be reversed, and these thieves will slaughter them even harder, and the chickens and dogs will not be left.

Seeing this scene, the chief military officer Li Guoqi was also a little panicked, he didn't expect things to turn out like this, according to Lin Zongbing's strategy, the main force of these thieves should be outside Yan'an Mansion at this time, he and Lin Yi's men and horses took Yichuan and Suide, and after ending their lair, they attacked them from behind, and then the soldiers and horses of Yan'an Mansion went out to kill, and they should work together to exterminate these thieves, why did they come here?

More than 10,000 thieves stormed Yichuan, and Li Guoqi only led the officers and soldiers to defend the city desperately. But they were caught off guard and rushed into battle, and some of them slept in a daze, and they didn't understand what was going on.

What's more terrible is that the small city of Yichuan is similar to Suide, the city is not high, the pool is not deep, there is no danger to defend, and the things on the city are not enough, so the charging thieves attacked the base of the city wall, the archers shot arrows at the head of the city, under their cover, hundreds of thieves carried a large log of thousands of catties, and only two times crashed the city gate.

Like a flood that bursts a levee, thieves swarm in, and the city is broken.

7,000 officers and soldiers who were caught off guard were attacked by more than 10,000 thieves and killed corpses all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed.

Li Guoqi saw that the city could not be defended, so he had to go down to the city to escape, changed his war horse three times, and finally ran out of another city gate, opened a bloody road, and ran out of more than 50 miles in one go, and the sky was dawn.

Looking at the remnants of the defeated soldiers around him, he was so embarrassed, he lost his armor one by one, stained his robes with blood, and his face was full of filth, like the second uncle of the stove king.

Seeing that the thieves did not chase after them, they stopped to catch their breath. The number of people counted, even counting the wounded, there were less than 600 people left around, and there was not one out of 10 out of 8,000 people, this battle was too miserable.

Li Guoqi beat his chest and wanted to draw his sword to kill himself. was persuaded by his generals and took the sword: "Adults should not take their lives, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and today's battle is really unexpected." But don't worry, adults, the sky and the sweeping tiger have been annihilated, only the stars are not lit and the mud is left, Lin Zongbing can fight habitually, and soon there will be news from Suide, Yan'an's Huang Zongbing will send soldiers and horses again to exterminate these thieves, which is still just around the corner. ”
