Lin Yi's second battalion is still an artillery battalion, and the commander of the artillery battalion is still Wang Qi.

However, under normal circumstances, there is no need for artillery to go to the battlefield, and only when the attack cannot be attacked, the red-coat cannon will be used, just like the wars of later generations, and the use of missiles and nuclear weapons with caution.

Because at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it still belonged to the era of cold weapons, although the red-coated cannon was powerful, relatively speaking, it was still relatively small, the ammunition was relatively expensive, and the cannon was also relatively cumbersome and inconvenient, so this weapon would be used on the battlefield unless it was a last resort.

Therefore, Lin Yi's "Second Artillery" was not in a hurry to move forward, they pulled large carts and small vehicles and enough ammunition, and moved forward at a normal marching speed, so that they gradually started a few days with Lin Yi's main force.

When they had just passed through Xinye County, Wang Qi warned his generals that they would walk more than 200 miles ahead and arrive at Xiangyang City, Xiangyang City is a place where thieves gather, and the team under the command of the Great Commander should have arrived, and from now on they must be foolproof, people are in artillery, people are in ammunition, one less cannon, one less shell, one less gunpowder, come and see!

"Don't worry, boss!" The generals under him expressed their attitudes one after another, in fact, they did not dare to relax in the slightest along the way, and after Wang Qi's reminder, they now have to be more cautious.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong and take good care of the artillery and ammunition, Wang Qi also sent distant and close detectives to keep abreast of the situation on the roads along the way and ensure safety.

At this time, Wang Qi received Lin Yi's order, this order is quite strange, the content is not to let them march in a hurry, pull the cannon and hurry to the position, but tell them that if they are attacked by thieves halfway, let them throw down the cannon and ammunition and run quickly, they must not fall in love with the battle, and their lives are important.

At that time, when Wang Qi received such an order, his face was stunned, and he almost gave the soldiers who gave the order two mouths. How could such an order be given? Is this the command of the Great Commander? Have you become a traitor to the thieves?

It wasn't until the herald took out Lin Yi's handwritten letter and arrows that Wang Qi was silent after reading it.

In ancient times, the herald was not dictated by the herald, and in order to reduce mistakes, in addition to the arrow, there must be a seal if necessary.

After Wang Qi read Ling Jian and Lin Yi's letter, he believed it, replied after leaving the herald, and then followed the order.

The subordinate generals were also surprised after receiving the order, just now their adults were like that order, and now there is such an order, especially the content of such an order, it is strange and unacceptable, they have a feeling of wanting to laugh when they hear it, but no one dare, it seems to be child's play, after all, it is not child's play, but an iron-blooded military order.

However, none of these generals dared to ask more about the reason, and anyway, they did what they were ordered, and they did whatever they were told to do by the higher-ups, and everything was done according to the military orders of the above, and the orders were forbidden, which was repeatedly demanded by the whole army from top to bottom.

After walking about thirty or forty miles, I suddenly received a report that an army came more than 20 miles ahead, with about five hundred people, and the uniforms were all Ming army, under the banner of Miyun soldiers.

Wang Qi immediately realized that this was definitely not his own people, but the thieves who robbed them as Lin Yi said.

Therefore, Wang Qi immediately sent an order to everyone to get ready.

The soldiers under him did not dare to speak out in joy, and after such a long battle, there had never been such a thing as today. Those who are officials require their soldiers to move forward bravely, fight bloodily, kill the enemy to repay their service, and fight to the death without retreating.

Ask your own generals,It's the first time to run away when you see the enemy.,It seems that the more this battle is fought, the more interesting it becomes.,Let who can't escape!

Wang Qi guessed correctly, the team that came in front was dressed up by Li Dingguo's people.

Li Dingguo is a wise and brave general, not to mention bravery, in terms of resourcefulness, he likes to disguise behind enemy lines and win by surprise.

Take this time as an example, this routine is still used. Bringing more soldiers and horses, ambushing in the middle of the way, and fighting the ambush of Lin Yi's artillery battalion, he didn't think about it.

But this requires setting off in advance, inspecting the terrain, and laying an ambush in advance. It was also necessary to try to avoid the various scouts in front of the brigade in the opposing army.

Lin Yi's artillery camp in front of him was not too far away from them, and it was too late to inspect the terrain and ambush again. At that time, before they could find the terrain or lay an ambush, the officers and soldiers discovered them.

Even if they are lucky enough not to be discovered, it is not easy to jump into their ambush circle when they encounter an experienced troop leader, because usually when they reach a location where they can set up ambushes, they will first send someone to check the terrain to ensure safety, and then let the baggage team pass.

Therefore, Li Dingguo did not resort to ambush warfare, but adopted camouflage, intending to surprise and launch a surprise attack with the false.

However, in this case, he must not bring more men and horses, and thousands of people will definitely not be able to bring it, because there are not so many officers and soldiers, and it is too late to prepare now. If you are not well prepared and there are more people, it is easier to expose the target. For them, of course, the closer they are to the enemy, the later the exposure will be more beneficial to them, and the greater the likelihood of success.

Therefore, Li Dingguo only brought 500 light cavalry this time, disguised as "his own people" and swaggered over, according to his plan, when approaching Lin Yi's artillery battalion team, if they were recognized, they would launch a charge at any time, so that it would be more direct and save all the trouble halfway.

Soon the teams of the two sides were getting closer and closer, and there was still a wilderness in front of them, and they could see each other, at most a mile or two.

The two armies did not stop, Wang Qi led his soldiers, drove the car, and walked on foot.

Li Dingguo's men and horses are still moving forward like this.

But Li Dingguo's eyes were fixed on the army opposite, and when he saw that there were indeed a lot of cannons, so many cars were pulling, and the queue was so long. It is also covered tightly with a tarpaulin, probably for fear of dampness from the cannon and ammunition.

So many cannons arrived in Lin Yi's camp and fired at Xiangyang City, the consequences were unimaginable, thanks to my Li Dingguo's high skills, if this batch of cannons was robbed back and fired at Lin Yi's camp, why worry about the undefeated surname Lin? Even if you can't rob it, you have to destroy it. I'm afraid Lin Yi never dreamed that he would give him such a hand!

Still waiting for his cannon in the camp, let him wait this time!

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo was so excited that he could even hear his heartbeat on the horse. At the same time, he whispered to his subordinates to get ready.

In fact, there is no need for Li Dingguo to remind him, the 500 generals under him are all ready with swords, guns, bows and arrows, because they have all seen it.

"It seems that the Ming army has not seen through us yet, God help me!"

Thinking so, Li Dingguo clenched the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and sat down on the big red mata tata and walked forward unhurriedly.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and it is estimated that it is only four or five hundred meters, and the faces of the other party can basically be seen clearly.

Maybe when the other party will see through them, and when the other party sees through them, that is, when they rush to kill, Li Dingguo and they have already saved up enough energy.

Now that he had estimated that the opponent's position must have at least 3,000 people, and they only had 500 people, facing six times the enemy, this was of course a tough battle. It is necessary to take it by surprise and rush to kill the team in front of them, and then they have a chance.

At this time, Li Dingguo and the others were like a beast, staring at the prey that was getting closer and closer, and the prey didn't seem to feel it at all, and the danger was approaching.

There are still a hundred meters left, Li Dingguo's heart tightened even tighter, the other party didn't seem to recognize it yet, they continued to move forward, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly shortened.

There are still about 50 meters, which is an absolutely dangerous distance, because the other party's nose, eyes, eyebrows, etc. can be seen clearly, and they will immediately have to show their stuffing.

"Who's on the other side?" At this time, Wang Qi finally shouted.

In fact, he had already been prepared, and he was silent on the surface, including the thousands of people under him, but in fact, he had already done it in his heart, and the reason why this was the case at this time was completely pretending.

Li Dingguo saw that it was finally exposed, it is said that they should have seen the flaw a long time ago, such a close distance, they must have been negligent.

It's no wonder that in broad daylight, who would have thought they would do this trick!

Li Dingguo, who thought he had a plan, had long been impatient, since it was exposed, let's start, a bloody battle, you live or die.

"Whoever wants your life, brothers will kill me!"

Li Dingguo shouted, his legs clamped the war horse, the halberd in his hand shook, and the war horse suddenly rushed out when he sat down, like a cloud driving the fog, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand trembled in the air.

The 500 men and horses under his command also followed the shouts and charged, each wielding swords and guns, and the tide rushed towards the officers and soldiers in front of them.

"They are not their own people! We were fooled! "There were officers and soldiers who shouted desperately, and then the officers and soldiers scattered and fled, and then it became a mess.

"Don't run! Block me and don't retreat! Wang Qi pulled out his waist knife and shouted pretending to be anxious, and then no one listened to him at all.

At this time, Li Dingguo killed in front of his eyes, Wang Qi slashed with his knife, Li Dingguo raised his halberd, and Wang Qi's knife flew.

Wang Qi had to run away with these people.

Li Dingguo and they urged the horses to shake the halberd, and took 500 cavalry to chase and kill behind, Wang Qi's men and horses were simply crushed at the touch of a button, thousands of men and horses did not fight much, and they ran away in an uproar, artillery ammunition, carts, livestock, and grain, grass and equipment, etc., and they didn't care if they were thrown down, like birds and beasts.

This was completely unexpected, and the officers and troops were suddenly attacked, and their confusion was inevitable. But Wang Qi and they collapsed at the first touch, which was somewhat unexpected by him.

He originally thought that with so many officers and soldiers, they must be unwilling to be fooled and defeated, and they must be killed hard for a while before they can be killed, but he didn't expect it to be so vulnerable, and they all ran away.

But Li Dingguo didn't think much about it, indicating that these officers and soldiers were all afraid of death, and there were many officers and soldiers he had seen who were afraid of death, and when they were suddenly attacked, there were many people who were racing for their lives, and some even fled in despair.

So many cannons were thrown at him, and this was what he wanted, so he didn't care about chasing Wang Qi and them, and after seeing these people running away without a trace in the blink of an eye, Li Dingguo commanded his men and horses to speed up the car with them.

Fearing that the officers and soldiers would chase after him again, Li Dingguo took 100 people to take charge of the police equipment behind him, and let the remaining 400 people drive these cars.

Until Li Dingguo and Li Dingguo, they walked out for more than 30 miles in one breath, and they didn't see any officials and soldiers chasing and killing, and Li Dingguo was relieved now.

But these cannons and ammunition are too easy to get, right, almost bloodless, Lin Yi's thousands of officers and soldiers just ran away?

This is not as good as Lin Yi's fierce and invincible martial arts. It is said that there are no weak soldiers under a strong general, is his artillery battalion all the role of some people?

It should be like this, the artillery is only responsible for firing artillery, as for charging into battle, fighting desperately, and fighting with white knives, it is really not their business, and they may also be negligent in training in this regard. It is reasonable to be attacked by a sudden attack and dispersed in a hurry.

Li Dingguo found such an explanation for himself, but he was still a little uneasy, and ordered the team to stop, and he directly checked the artillery and ammunition.

found that the cannon and ammunition on the car were genuine, and there was no adulteration at all, Li Dingguo was completely relieved, no matter what the reason, now that these things are in his hands, there is nothing to do with the surname Lin, he is still waiting there, let him wait.

When I, Li Dingguo, transported all these cannons and ammunition back, arrived at the head of Xiangyang City, and set up the cannons to fire at Lin Yi's camp, he would know!

This time I want to use a cannon to blow you to pieces, no matter how high your Lin Yi's martial arts are, the difficulty of the immortals has left a message, I see that you have lost the battle and fled in embarrassment, so as to eliminate the hatred of my last defeat.

It's not far off, it's a matter of a day or two at most.

Li Dingguo thought proudly, while urging the soldiers and horses in front of him to speed up, and in his mind, he used dozens of cannons to bombard the camp of the Ming army, and Lin Yi and them fled in embarrassment.

Li Dingguo still looked behind him from time to time.

After passing through this vast wilderness, I entered the mountains and forests, and there was an unobstructed view behind me, and there was no shadow of half of the official army at all.

At this time, they had already gone out for at least 50 miles, and they were not afraid to chase after them. Because if you go forty or fifty miles ahead, you will reach the city of Xiangyang, and when you arrive at Xiangyang, it will be our world.

At this time, even if there are soldiers chasing after him, with his bravery and these 100 light horses, he can resist for a while, and it is no problem to cover these soldiers and horses to move forward, it seems that this time it is an absolute success, and the surnamed Lin never dreamed that the batch of cannons and gunpowder he relied on for the storming of Xiangyang has reached the hands of my Li Dingguo!

The more Li Dingguo thought about it, the happier he became, he was anxious and slow, and he couldn't wait to fly to Xiangyang City with his wings. Therefore he whipped his horse, and his horse galloped ahead. One moment he rushed to the front of the line to look at the cannons, and the next he went to the back of the line to see if there were any pursuers.

More than half an hour later, the head of Xiangyang City was in sight, and now Li Dingguo's heart was completely in my stomach, and they would enter the city in a dozen miles.

Only then did Li Dingguo realize that he was wet with sweat all over his body. Not only him, but also his generals were all tired and sweaty, because they had been walking for more than two hours and had not rested at all.

Not only were the people tired like this, but the horses were also so tired that they were covered in sweat, especially the cattle that were pulling the carts with red-coated cannons and ammunition, and they were constantly running away from the whips, and these animals were covered in sweat all over their bodies.

"Don't stop, go quickly, you must get into town before dark!" Li Dingguo gave them another death order.

The soldiers under his command did not dare to slack off, nor did they dare to have the slightest complaint, but this time the cattle were tired, if they had beast language, they had to scold Li Dingguo's eight ancestors, this is to put them to death!

After walking for more than half an hour, when these soldiers and cattle were exhausted, they finally arrived at the moat outside the north gate of Xiangyang City.

At this time, the sun had just set, and the western sky was full of colorful clouds, like blood.

Li Dingguo wiped the sweat from his face again, and ordered: "Quickly, call the city, rest well after entering the city, the brothers will do a great job, and then order the gang to prepare for us to eat and drink, and have enough wine and meat."

As soon as Li Dingguo said this, his generals were all happy again, they could eat and drink and make meritorious contributions, as for talking about sweating and tiredness, what is it? It is much better than the battle exploits that are exchanged for bloodshed and sacrifice. Therefore, they all thanked their young prince.

There are a few loud people who are about to call the city on the side of the moat, because now they are still wearing the clothes of the Ming army, maybe across the moat, the officers and soldiers in the city did not see them clearly, otherwise the city would have been opened a long time ago, and the commander of Li Dingguo came, do you still need to call the city? I'm afraid that Grand Commander Feng Shuangli has already brought people out to greet him.

Thinking like this, these rogue soldiers were about to open their mouths to shout to the people in the city to open the door for them, saying that Li Dingguo and they were back, when suddenly the drawbridge creaked and was put down.

Immediately after the jack gate was twisted, and after the lock of the city gate was opened, the bolt was opened, and the two large iron gates were also opened.

These thieves who came to call Kaicheng looked at it, there was no need to call the city, they must have recognized us, the city gate had been opened, and they retreated to Li Dingguo's side.

At this time, a group of soldiers and horses rushed out of the city, Li Dingguo saw that it was his generals, and they looked familiar, and some of them could even be called by name, but they didn't see the deputy general Feng Shuangli.

At this time, this group of men and horses rushed across the moat, and when they arrived at Li Dingguo's approach, they stood still, and immediately took the lead and saluted Li Dingguo: "Young prince, hurry up and enter the city, Commander Feng is waiting for you inside."

When Li Dingguo heard this, this Feng Shuangli was so polite, why didn't he come out to greet him in person? Did he forget that I, Li Dingguo, was the main general here, and although he was in the prime of life, he was more than a dozen years older than me, but at best he was only a deputy general?

Li Dingguo is not arrogant and arrogant, he does not have the kind of flying and domineering that Sun Kewang has, and there is no one in his eyes. But as a 19-year-old young man, he is already an enemy of 10,000 people at such a young age, and he is Zhang Xianzhong's godson, one person is above 10,000 people, and his subordinates respectfully call him the young prince, and there is still some sense of arrogance in that kind of superiority.

"Where is Commander Feng? Why didn't he come? Li Dingguo got straight to the point and asked the leader directly.

"Back to the words of the young prince, Commander Feng knows that the young prince is done, and he is preparing a banquet for the young prince to pick up the wind and dust, let me wait to pick it up, the young prince must be tired, the wine and meat have been prepared, hurry up and invite it."

"Alright then, let's get into town." Li Dingguo didn't think much about this, and with an order, he drove these red-coated cannons and ammunition into the city with his men and horses.

As soon as they entered the city, the gate behind them was closed, the jack gate fell, and the drawbridge was twisted.

Li Dingguo didn't care about these actions, it was about to get dark, they entered the city, and Lin Yi's camp was not far from outside, and it was necessary to close the city in time.

But at this time, there was a hearty and smug laugh from the city behind him, and he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but be shocked.
