Lin Zhaolong and Xu Lang stood at the head of the city again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Xu Lang, are we just waiting?" Lin Zhaolong retracted his gaze, "It's been ten days, otherwise let Gu Yunkun take someone to dig a well first, don't delay this matter any longer." ”

"I'm still not reassured." Xu Lang replied, "Our scouts haven't come back, and I don't know what is happening on Gao Yingxiang's side, so it's not easy to do it in case he suddenly comes." ”

Lin Zhaolong thought about it and said, "Then wait a little longer, have you coped with that Lin Yingrui in the past few days?" ”

"I've been to see him twice." Xu Lang suddenly laughed, "This guy was definitely a good lawyer in our era, and the one who recited the law of Da Ming is called a familiar." I don't have a good idea right now, so let's cool him down first, and then talk about it slowly. ”

"Sir." The two men were talking, and the soldier watching in the distance suddenly shouted, "There is a soldier and horse in the distance." ”

"Where?" Lin Zhaolong and Xu Lang raised their binoculars at the same time.

In the valley in the distance, flags were waved, smoke and dust were rising, and a force of about five or six thousand men was hurrying in the direction of Yanchang County.

"Is Gao Yingxiang here?" Lin Zhaolong asked.

"I can't see clearly, it doesn't seem to be like a peasant army." Xu Lang looked at it and said, "No matter who it is, let's get ready first." ”

"Herald." Lin Zhaolong shouted, "Close the city gate, first-level battle alert." ”

The troops in the distance are getting closer and closer.

"It should be the Ming Army." Xu Lang put down the binoculars, "They are under the banner of the Ming army." ”

"I see it." Lin Zhaolong asked, "Who will it be?" ”

"Could it be He Renlong?" Xu Lang muttered, "No, He Renlong should be in Baoji Yi County now, how could he come to Yan'an?" ”

"You don't care how he got here, what do we do now?" Lin Zhaolong tilted his head and asked, "Judging by their appearance, they should be coming to Yanchang County, you made that military department transfer order fake, and Lin Yingrui is still locked up in the county government, if it is He Renlong, what do we say?" ”

"Let's do what we need to do." Xu Lang didn't have any good ideas, "Let's ask about the situation in Xi'an first." ”

"Why did they stop?" Lin Zhaolong asked strangely.

Xu Lang raised his binoculars again and looked over, and the more than 5,000 Ming troops had stopped advancing two or three miles away from the county seat, and were in a hasty formation. Behind them was an army of tens of thousands of men.

"Zhaolong, there is another battle to be fought." Xu Lang pointed into the distance, "Behind the Ming army, the peasant army is chasing after you." ”

"Quick, quick, line up to meet the enemy." Under the flag, He Renlong kept shouting.

"My lord, the front is to extend the county seat, we might as well go into the city and fight." Guerrilla general Sun Shoufa suggested.

"It's too late." He Renlong shouted, "Behind is Gao Yingxiang's old camp, let's fight to the death." ”

Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng and others restrained the war horse.

"Uncle." Li Zicheng said excitedly, "I finally caught up with Madman He, I have to kill him this time." ”

"Liu Zongmin." Gao Yingxiang didn't care about Li Zicheng's excitement, "Did you say that the Ming army you met was going to Yanchang County?" ”

"King Huichuang, yes." Liu Zongmin replied, "Their general's name is Xu Lang, and they said they were going to Yanchang County. ”

"Uncle, don't worry." Li Zicheng said, "Zong Min said that the Ming army only had 2,000 people, and now He Renlong is only 5,000 people, let's defeat He Renlong first and then fight Yanchang County." ”

Gao Yingxiang shook his head and thought carefully for a while: "Liu Zongmin, Hao Shaoqi." ”

"King Chuang." The two men replied in unison.

"Each of you will lead a team of cavalry, and charge He Renlong on the left and right wings. Just hold them back, don't have too many casualties. ”

"King Chuang, won't you beat them?" Hao Shaoqi asked puzzled.

"Self-contained." Gao Yingxiang didn't answer Hao Shaoqi's question, and continued to instruct, "You and Li Guo take an elite army to bypass, lay an ambush outside Yanchang County, and once you see the army in the city leaving the city, immediately attack the county seat." ”

"Got it, uncle." Li Zicheng and Li Guo quietly walked out with people.

Hao Shaoqi understood Gao Yingxiang's intentions: "Break into the king's clever plan." ”

Gao Yingxiang smiled: "You guys go." ”

"The sons of the three armies." Hao Shaoqi raised the banner, "Kill the enemy with me!" ”

Two cavalry rushed out of the camp of the peasant army.

"My lord, the rogue is here." Sun Shoufa shouted, "Go down and deal with the enemy." ”

"No, there are too many rogues." He Renlong ordered, "All teams defend, bow and arrow fire are ready." ”

The 5,000 Ming army shrank into a large formation, and the sky of bows and arrows and guns flew towards the cavalry of Liu Zongmin and Hao Shaoqi.

The 2 cavalry did not rush to kill, and kept running back and forth around the Ming army, firing back with bows and arrows as they ran.

The two sides exchanged fire for more than half an hour, and they were both a little tired, and the battlefield gradually quieted down.

Xu Lang and Lin Zhaolong saw it clearly in the city.

"Xu Lang, what should we do, can we help them?"

"Zhaolong, look at that." Xu Lang pointed to the valley on the left, where a faint cloud of smoke and dust rose.

"These peasant armies are quite discerning." Lin Zhaolong asked, "Could it be that Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng are here?" ”

"It's possible." Xu Lang replied, "Liu Zongmin knows that we are coming to Yanchang County, and I guess Gao Yingxiang wants to lure us out." ”

"Then we can't get out?"

"Look again." Xu Lang said, "Zhaolong, let the two cavalry battalions get ready, if He Renlong can't hold it for a while, I will lead the cavalry out, it's always not good not to save him." You are in the city with infantry and artillery to hold the city, we have 6 guns now, and they can't rush in. ”

"I'd better go out." Lin Zhaolong said, "You're in the city. ”

"I'm afraid you can't." Xu Lang said with a smile, "He Renlong also has to play some tricks, you don't know what to say about us with him when you go out." ”

Gao Yingxiang waited for a long time, but he didn't see any troops coming out of Yanchang County: "Order Liu Zongmin and Hao Shaoqi to rush into the camp of the Ming army." ”

Gao Yingxiang understood that if he didn't really fight, the army in the city would not come out.

The earth-shattering drums sounded.

"Kill!" The 2 cavalry, under the leadership of Liu Zongmin and Hao Shaoqi, really began to storm the camp of the Ming army.

"My lord, the left flank has been breached." Sun Shoufa shouted anxiously.

He Renlong also knew that it was not enough to defend alone, the combat effectiveness of these rogues had become stronger and stronger over the years, "General Sun, immediately lead the cavalry to meet the enemy, and be sure to repel the rogues." ”

"The subordinates have orders." Sun Shoufa raised the spear in his hand, "Soldiers, kill the rogue!" ”

Hundreds of Ming soldiers followed Sun Shoufa and rushed towards Liu Zongmin's cavalry, and the two sides were mixed together and fought for a while.

"Someone." Gao Yingxiang saw that there was still no movement in Yanchang County, and ordered, "Send another horse team." ”

Hundreds of cavalry shouted and rushed towards Sun Shoufa.

"Herald." He Renlong saw that Sun Shoufa was gradually unable to hold on, and also ordered, "Reinforcement General Sun." ”

The Ming army had no cavalry, and it was infantry that was dispatched, and thousands of people fought together. However, the infantry of the Ming army obviously could not defeat the horse team of the peasant army, and there were fewer and fewer people around Sun Shoufa.

"The sky has no eyes." Sun Shoufa shouted loudly and picked off a knight of the peasant army off his horse, "Today, my Sun Shoufa can be regarded as a death on the battlefield, and the horse leather shrouded in corpse." ”

"Someone." He Renlong was also anxious, and his right flank was also broken through, "The soldiers of the three armies, fight to the death with Ben." ”

A loud charge came from behind He Renlong, and the gate of Yanchang County finally opened.

More than 700 scimitars, more than 700 bright half-body armor lined up in a neat phalanx like a mountain, not fast but never looking back.

"What a good soldier." He Renlong was secretly surprised, how could such an elite cavalry in such a small county town have such an elite cavalry, and where were they troops.

"Command, speed up the charge!" Xu Lang urged the war horse under his crotch to give an order.

The speed of the cavalry phalanx gradually increased.

"It's finally out." Liu Zongmin and Hao Shaoqi both sneered in their hearts.

"Kill!" The two of them suddenly turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the Yulin army with their cavalry.

Hao Shaoqi rushed halfway but unconsciously pulled his horse, because he suddenly saw clearly that the Yulin army on the opposite side had inserted back their scimitars and raised their rifles.

"Fire!" The two cavalry units were separated by less than 60 meters, and Xu Lang gave the order.

More than 700 rifles were fired, and the distance between the two sides quickly approached to 30 meters.

"Change guns, fire!"

The cavalry warriors of the Yulin Army threw away the infantry rifles in their hands, and in the blink of an eye, they flattened two large handcuffs on their left and right hands.

"Retreat, retreat!" Hao Shaoqi desperately pulled the horse, he knew too well the power of the other party's firearms.

In three rounds of blows, the cavalry of the peasant army was knocked out by almost a third.

Xu Lang raised his scimitar: "Kill the rogue!" ”

The Cossack scimitar was once again flattened, and the phalanx was dissolved, because the opposite side was already full of backs.

"Sir, sir." Gao Chen finally stopped Xu Lang, "Sir, don't charge." ”

"Hahahaha." Xu Lang laughed loudly, "Senior staff officer, fast horse scimitar, happy." ”

"Yes, sir." Gao Chen said secretly in his heart, "You are happy, if something goes wrong, Captain Lin will have to kill me." ”

Xu Lang observed the battlefield for a while: "Order, blow the assembly trumpet, don't chase anymore." ”

The cavalry of the Yulin Army slowly retreated.

Xu Lang came to He Renlong: "The lower official dares to ask the lord, but the deputy chief soldier is Lord He Renlong?" ”

"Not bad." He Renlong returned a salute to Xu Lang, "Where are you from, why are you in Yanchang County?" ”

"Lady Huihe." Xu Lang replied, "We are Hainan Wei's troops, and we were ordered by the Ministry of War to come to change the guard, so we are stationed here. ”

Sun Shoufa also came over at this time: "I would like to thank the general for his help." ”

"The general doesn't have to be polite, they are all Ming soldiers." Xu Lang smiled, "This is not the place to speak, the two adults still go into the city to talk." ”

Before He Renlong could answer, a shout came from behind, and Li Zicheng and Li Guo rushed to Yanchang County with thousands of peasant troops.

"My lord, it's not good." Sun Shoufa shouted, "There is an ambush in the rogue. ”

"The general doesn't have to worry about it." Xu Lang smiled slightly, "The two adults look slowly." ”

Li Zicheng and Li Guo urged their horses to walk in the middle of the ranks, and thousands of peasant troops rushed to the city wall shouting. The king has an order, and the official who breaks the city is promoted to the third level, and he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, which is white silver.

Lin Zhaolong put down the telescope he had been holding in his hand and shook his sour arm: "Order, the artillery company shoots shots." ”

Six 6-pounder guns opened fire, and patches of shotguns covered the open space in front of the walls.

Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were stunned at the same time, how could there be so many cannons in the small Yanchang County, and they were still hitting so far.

"Order, Mingjin withdraws the troops." Gao Yingxiang knew that he couldn't rush forward any further, and his old battalion couldn't be thrown here.

"The general." He Renlong didn't know Xu Lang's name yet, "You said that you are from Hainan Wei, so where did you get these artillery?" ”

"Lady Huihe." Xu Lang replied, "We made it ourselves, and the lower officials are the remnants of the Song Dynasty." ”

"You are the remnants of the Song Dynasty?" He Renlong unconsciously arched his hand to Xu Lang again, and now no one in the entire Ming army knows the remnants of the Song Dynasty, "May I ask the general's surname." ”

"Xiaguan Xu Lang." Xu Lang smiled again, "Please also invite your adult into the city." ”

"Thank you, General Xu." He Renlong also smiled, "Let's go into the city together." ”

Thousands of troops marched into Yanchang County, and the small county town was suddenly crowded. Gao Yingxiang did not retreat, but withdrew his troops and repressed the camp for three miles.
