Chapter 207 Li Zhenxiong's revenge

Yan Qilou had a dark face, and waved his big hand: "Continue to hit the wall!" Wen Fang followed the order, and led the people to continue to hit a few steps away from the side of the gap, and after a while, another gap about one person wide appeared.

Under the continuous impact, the whole wall gradually began to collapse, except for the vicinity of the courtyard gate, the entire section of the courtyard wall appeared in many places of different sizes, for Liu Zhengfeng's side, the geographical advantage greatly disappeared. Fortunately, the length of this courtyard wall is not very wide, at most seven or eight zhang, Liu Zhengfeng still has about fifty people under his command, and he can still resist the attack of Yanqi Tower at the gap for the time being.

When the battle was in the thick of the battle, Liu Zhengfeng also took his knife into battle, he was experienced and skilled, and he killed two impatient and aggressive Yuan soldiers in a few moves.

The Yuan soldiers on Yanqilou's side were only two hundred, taking advantage of the surprise, and after a surprise attack, the Yuan soldiers only folded twenty or thirty people. Now the two sides have an advantage and a large number of people, and the fight is difficult to solve, and no one is willing to retreat. However, the soldiers of the Shuntian Army are Liu Zhengfeng's personal guards, these people are not only the most loyal, but also the most prominent combat skills in the Chinese army, after many days of training, the soldiers of the Jing'an Army have also stimulated the blood, desperate and do not retreat, less than a stick of incense time, at least forty people fell on the ruins of the courtyard wall, and the corpse of the Yuan army is more than half.

The warm blood flowed down the terrain from high to low, and the outside of the wall was originally paved with bluestone, and the blood water spilled up, and it was very slippery to step on, which was even more unfavorable to the offensive side.

Seeing that the casualties were so large, the Yuan soldiers gradually became frightened, and some people wanted to work without help, but just brandished steel knives and shouted behind, even the soldiers on the forward line gradually lost the courage to give up their bodies, and just held steel knives and constantly attacked the opponent.

Looking at the tragic confrontation, Yan Qilou began to be impatient in his heart. There are about 500 thieves in the city, although he has reserved more than 200 soldiers in the city, and also led a team of 1,000 people into the city, in terms of strength, it is natural to win, but the south gate is currently controlled by the thief army, if the thief army outside the city takes the opportunity to enter the city, the battle in the city may be uncertain!

Especially in order to attack the city suddenly, this time the plan is to launch the Yuan army in Hedong first, and the Yidu army because of the land trip, in order to avoid alarming the Shuntian army scouts along the way, had to delay the march, this time difference is about an hour, so Yanqilou and others must take the city gate, and hold it for a period of time, if you can capture the two city gates all the best!

As for the sudden entry of a 100-member team of the Jing'an Army into the city, this strength is not in the eyes of Yanqilou, but after all, it shows that the Jing'an Military Department is somewhat prepared, which is not a good sign.

Since the capture of the north city gate, Yanqilou has led part of the Yuan army to kill the south city gate, hoping to take it in one fell swoop by virtue of the advantage of troops.

As for the few thieves in the city, the hundred-man team has its own Yuan army that has entered the city to deal with!

Yan Qilou ordered the soldiers of the forward line to retreat, and ordered a wave of soldiers standing behind to rush forward, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe, and then ordered more torches to illuminate the outside of this courtyard as if it were daylight. More than a dozen archers and crossbowmen were also quietly transferred and launched at the right time.

The blood of the battles in the city was all over the ground, and the outside of the city was also full of twists and turns, and there were many dangers.

The Yuan army in the east of the river quietly crossed the river and attacked, because of Liu Qi's response, the rest of the departments and the county guards did not notice for a while, one Yuan army directly entered the city, and the other Yuan army had quietly infiltrated the camp outside the Qin Zhanshan Department.

This Yuan army was led by Tang Wuwei Li Zhenxiong, plus about 1,000 Yuan cavalry from Dizhou.

After buying slaves and making up his mind to go south overnight to sneak attack, Li Zhenxiong first sneaked south along the riverside path according to the plan. Because it was a cavalry, the speed was several times faster than that of the foot soldiers, and if it weren't for the strict order not to rush with torches, Li Zhenxiong's troops would definitely arrive faster.

For the sake of secrecy, Yuan rode to the east of the river, away from the Mi River, and tried to avoid the scouts of the Shuntian army who might smuggle across the river. Li Zhenxiong ordered the troops to raise torches and march all the way south. This road is narrow and rugged, the war horse is extremely inconvenient to travel at night, there are dozens of horsemen along the way because the horse broke their feet or fell and fell behind, when the vast majority of people and horses rushed to the riverbank outside Linqu County, including Li Zhenxiong, the whole body is sweaty, many people are covered with mud, this is the road to fall.

"My lord, the small one is the one who is fine in the city, and Lord Yan has already ordered the small one to respond here. Just wait for the adults to tell you! ”

"Very well, how is the enemy army doing now?"

"The official army of Hedong has crossed the river, and has its own fine work to guide it to sneak attack the north gate of the county, Lord Yan said, after taking the city gate, he will set off arrows on the head of the city, and raise torches as a signal, and then please show your tiger might, and step on the thief camp of the Qin Zhanshan Department outside the city! As for the thief army of Liu, Wan, and Xiahou, there will be our Dayuan Han army in charge of attacking the camp. ”

"What about the camp of the thieves?" Li Zhenxiong is actually the most concerned about the Zhilong Department, this thief who caused him a lot of losses and returned home, and he has a blood feud with him! This time, he couldn't let go of his ministry no matter what, but after hearing Pan Gui's explanation, he found that Yu Zhilong's department was missing.

Pan Gui continued: "Lord Hui, because the thief is stationed in the west of the city, separated by Liu Thief and other departments and the county seat, it is really impossible to achieve the first wave of night attacks this time, so you can only give up; As for Qin Zhanshan, although you can rest assured, Lord Liu Qi has already brought him into the camp and imprisoned him, and now the Qin Department has lost its thief head, just waiting for the general's blow, it will definitely be annihilated! ”

"Haha, very good, very good!" Li Zhenxiong laughed heartily, as if he had seen the various bandit armies invincible under his iron hooves. "In this battle, your intelligence department has made great contributions, and this general will ask for credit for you after the war!"

"Thank you, sir!" Pan Guixi was overjoyed, he was accidentally photographed by Yanqilou and became a peripheral member of the Intelligence Department, but the peripheral personnel are also on the roster of the Intelligence Department, and they can receive salaries, and they are no longer street gangsters. As long as after this great evaluation, it is the right thing for me to be transferred to a full-fledged establishment in the Intelligence Division. This is comparable to the status of being a slave of a large household, the difference between heaven and earth!

Although Qin Zhanshan and Liu Zhengfeng, Yu Zhilong do not agree, but the relationship with the Yuan Court is also the same as water and fire, today Liu Qi invited him to his own camp to drink and talk, during the banquet privately asked whether he was willing to belong to the Yuan Court, Qin Zhanshan always should not, seeing that the Yuan Court army was about to launch, Liu Qi did not dare to let him go back, now that he has picked out the interests, this Qin Zhanshan can not stay no matter what! So the old friend banquet became a Hongmen banquet, and Qin Zhanshan and his relatives all became prisoners!

The sentry tower of Liu Qi's department on the bank of the river is already a virtual existence, and the soldiers along the coast are all Liu Qi's henchmen, although the sentry tower is full of torches, but the role is to illuminate the Yuan army foot cavalry crossing the river.

Li Zhenxiong ordered his subordinates to quietly cross the river under the guidance of Nei Ying and move to the lurking place. This place is a hidden place that Pan Gui has already explored, and the vicinity is mostly shrubs, half a man high, and occasionally mixed with many yellowing reeds. It is about five arrows away from the camp of Qin Zhanshan, and there is nothing in the middle, and there is nothing to hide.

After the Yuan army cavalry was hidden, Li Zhenxiong eagerly watched the movement of the city, and Pan Gui was behind him, and he was also worried in his heart, not knowing what the result of Yanqilou was.

The goal of the Han army in Hedong was different from that of Li Zhenxiong's department, and the routes and hiding places of the two sides were also different, Yanqilou and Wen Fang were mainly responsible for the night attack in the city, and they could not come to contact Yin Wanhu and Li Zhenxiong in person, so they had to hand over this task to their henchmen and Pan Gui, who had always performed well. After the Hedong Han army crossed the river, they quietly separated from Tang Wuwei and sent them to their respective places.

In the dark night, the soldiers and horses of the Yuan army were quiet, only a slight night breeze blew, with a thick moisture, Pan Gui's eyes widened, and he could only see the faint city wall and the Qin camp in the distance, where there were some torches and other lighting, and it looked like a little spark in the distance.

Finally, the city wall lit up with a code, and two torches kept drawing circles!

"My lord, the signal is coming! That's it! Pan Gui whispered excitedly, and at the same time heard a hiss, which was the sound of an arrow.

"All get on the horse and cut the fuck!" Li Zhenxiong was even more excited, the time of shame had come, first kill the thieves in front of him, and then go to find the Jing'an army thieves.

At the command, the more than 1,000 horsemen immediately mounted their horses and moved, first slowly stepping out of the bushes one by one, and while walking, they arranged their formations, and when they were all laid out in the open field, a huge formation of arrows had been formed.

Li Zhenxiong did not sound the horn, and after giving the order softly, a hundred cavalry took the lead and walked slowly as an arrow, and the speed of the horse gradually increased, and the distance of hundreds of steps was approaching in a blink of an eye. The brigade followed.

Pan Gui and others had already explored in advance that the ground here was mostly sandy, and the soil was enough to withstand the galloping of the cavalry. Even some puddles did not affect the gallop of the cavalry.

The sound of hooves gradually increased, and then roared, when the sentry at the gate of Qin Zhanshan's camp found the abnormality, it only made a few horrified warning sounds, one of the sentries was quite awake, and quickly rang the golden gong beside him, and in the vast night, after more than a dozen sounds, it was drowned by the rolling torrent of Yuan Qi!

In the midst of the shouting and neighing, there were thousands of soldiers of the Hedong Yuan Army breaking into the camp outside the camps of the Wanjinhai Department and the Xiahou Department!

And there have already been several fires in Linqu County, and there have even been some fires!

In Qin Zhanshan's camp, Li Zhenxiong led his men to rush left and right, slashing and killing the panicked opponent soldiers in the camp as much as possible, the garrison in the camp was relatively loose, and lost the unified command of Qin Zhanshan, even if some of the soldiers barely formed an array under the loud encouragement of the officers, but they could not get the effective support of other comrades-in-arms, and soon collapsed under the repeated rush of the Yuan cavalry, and they were scattered.

With a brush, Li Zhenxiong's flying horse once again split the neck of an enemy pawn, and the head rose into the sky with the momentum of the knife, and a lot of blood splashed on Li Zhenxiong's body.

"Kill me! Not a single one to stay! Li Zhenxiong shouted excitedly, his voice became hoarse and changed his voice because of the extreme excitement, and he only had a big heart today since he left Beijing.

The Yuan Cavalry behind him responded violently, and once again summoned up murderous energy to slash left and right.

Qin Zhanshan's battalion sergeant is only two thousand, the more than 1,000 cavalry in addition to leaving a team outside to guard, support, the rest of the men and horses rushed in, after a few repeated killing, the resistance in the camp was completely destroyed, everywhere are burning tents and overturned braziers, torches, the ground is scattered with pieces of the corpses of the Shuntian soldiers, the Yuan cavalry does not leave prisoners, many of the soldiers who have completely lost their fighting spirit want to put down their swords and guns, raise their hands to surrender, but the Yuan cavalry does not ask at all, just slash and kill, and finally part of the soldiers of the Shuntian army see that the Yuan cavalry is going to kill them all, If there is a chance, he will climb over the fence of the camp, and he will no longer care about his personal life, and will fight directly with his life, hoping to take the life of a Yuan horse before he dies.

"My lord, the thief army in this camp has been basically wiped out, do you want to support the Hedong Army now?" A hundred households came to ask Li Zhenxiong for instructions.

Li Zhenxiong looked at the situation in the surrounding camps, and now most of the camps, antlers, and fences in the Qin Zhanshan Department have been completely destroyed, and corpses are everywhere, and there are fireworks everywhere.

"Let's go, there are still a few thieves over there who haven't completely set foot in the camp, and we will definitely kill them today!" Li Zhenxiong pointed to a few neat camps in the corner, and his murderous spirit became fierce.

The defeat in Linqu that day will be found ten times more on the Linqu thief tonight!
