Standing on the city tower, looking up at the stars in the sky, although it is only the eighth day of the first month, the moon is not very big, but the stars are twinkling, and I faintly feel a chill.

Ma Yuanli set up a formation along the south gate of the county seat, and the camp stretched for more than ten miles, and the Great Western Army relied on the protection of the door board and wooden table, and sent men and horses to challenge in the past two days to wash away the shame of the previous defeats.

And with the passage of time, especially after the victory in the ancient city of Yunshan, and after seeing that the Great Western Army actually wanted to dig up the graves of the dead soldiers during the day, everyone was even more angry, and everyone asked for battle.

But looking at the rows of door panels and wooden tables set up in the Great Western Army formation under the city wall to block the birds, and in the back are the soldiers of the Great Western Army wearing thick armor and turbans on their heads.

In this era, the power of the bird gun was very small, and it was difficult to shoot through the door panels and wooden tables, and then shoot the soldiers wearing armor and turbans.

Fan Mingshan was quite anxious, shook his head and said: "My lord, I have also seen the power of the Fran cannon in the past, if we wait until the Fran cannon arrives, our army will not be in danger of the city wall."

Otherwise, we will attack the enemy camp today, and if we are defeated, it will not be too late to retreat. ”

Yang Bingyi next to him scratched his ears and cheeks, and said quietly: "My lord, I will feel strange at the end of the first battle today, Ma Yuanli strictly ordered Chen Yingrui to dig up the bones of our brothers."

When our army arrived, Chen Yingrui just dealt with us and others, and had no intention of fighting to the death. ”

Next to him, Long Zhijiao shook his head and said, "This, how is this possible?" Probably to preserve their strength, Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing were flying and domineering that day, the Dashun Army came to surrender the Dashun Army, and the Daxi Army came to surrender the Daxi Army.

Probably now I don't have the face, and I don't dare to fight with our army. ”

When everyone heard this, they thought of the arrogant appearance of Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing that day, and laughed one by one when they saw that they were now taking refuge in different forces one after another.

Yang Lin smiled, suddenly raised his hand to make everyone quiet, and said: "Chen Yingrui, Feng Youqing and others are hereditary officers of the Ming Dynasty, and their soldiers were still my Ming soldiers a year ago, and now although they have defected to the Dashun Army and the Great Western Army, they want to be different from others."

In addition, the last time the Great Western Army attacked Hanzhong, each department fought separately, and this time Ma Yuanli attacked Pengzhou.

Half a month ago, Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu's attack on Hanzhong was frustrated, and the morale of the Great Western Army in the direction of Boryeong was low. ”

Everyone was stunned, and Ouyang asked directly: "My lord, Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing are capricious villains, and Liu Jinzhong is even more murderous, how can this kind of person be obedient to the official army?" ”

Yang Lin pointed to the camp of the Great Western Army under the city wall and said with a smile: "Hehe, think about it, although there are more than 10,000 people in the Great Western Army this time, its main force is only 4,000 from Ma Yuanli's department and 2,000 from Wang Jiye.

In the battle of Dawangmiao, our army killed more than 400 opponents and captured more than 100 people.

Because of this, in the past two days, the people who called the battle in front of the battle were Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing, while Ma Yuanli and Wang Jiye were hiding behind to heal their injuries. ”

After thinking about it, Ouyang nodded straight and said: "What the adults said is quite reasonable, Ma Yuanli let Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing play as strikers in the past two days, which must have made them complain."

But Ma Yuan used Ying Rui and Feng Youqing as shields, and besides, they have door panels and wooden tables to protect them, so how can it be good? ”

Yang Lin thought about it, had an idea in his heart, and immediately sent a messenger out of the city secretly, and went out of the city overnight, and urgently transferred the Yang Wei camp and Liao Qifang's camp stationed in the north to guard against the local rioters.

Fan Mingshan was shocked and dumbfounded: "My lord, this, this, absolutely not, although the local rioters stopped for a while, but the rebellion of the local rioters in several counties of Dazhou has just subsided, and the adults want to take the liberty of transferring the local garrison, and I am afraid that the local rioters will resurrect and make a comeback."

At that time, the local tyrants will be in the north, Zhang Nengqi and others will be in the west, plus the Great Western Army in the south and east, our army will be afraid of being attacked on all sides. ”

Yang Lin smiled, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he was fortified everywhere, and he fell into disadvantage everywhere, so of course he could only be beaten passively.

In the previous life, many generals used their troops to use the mobility of their troops to suddenly concentrate superior forces to deal a fatal blow to the opponent, so as to achieve victory on the battlefield?

At present, the normal marching speed of the battalion-level units of the Volunteer Army is between 50 and 60 miles, and the forced march can reach 70-80 miles, so there is no need to fortify everywhere and be attacked everywhere.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Qi army could run a hundred miles in one night, although the volunteers could only do seventy miles, and it only took two or three days to go back and forth.

As long as the war goes well, it is completely possible to send troops back to the upstream to ensure safety.

Yang Lin ordered Yang Cheng and others to prepare secretly, go to various oil stores in the city, pack them in bamboo tubes, and then wrap them in oiled paper.

Two hundred soldiers were selected from each battalion to practice how to use their weapons against enemy troops hiding behind wooden planks.

On the other hand, in order to confuse Ma Yuanli, a small number of stragglers were sent out of the city in the past two days, either by night attack, or by attacking the camp, in order to harass the other party.

In this way, for three days and four nights, the third watch cooked in the morning, and the fourth watch got up, and the whole army had already finished eating as soon as the day dawned, and they lined up on the streets and alleys one by one.

Yang Lin took the messenger's letter and said with a smile: "Everyone, Liao Qifang's 4th Battalion has arrived at Guojiazhuang thirty miles west of the city last night, and when we launch an attack, the 4th Battalion will also send men and horses to attack and harass the Great Western Army and cut off the return route of the Great Western Army." ”

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed.

Yang Wei, who had just crossed the river, also arched his hand and said: "My lord, a few days ago, my lord asked me to wait to help defend the ancient city of Yunshan, and the Great Western Army was defeated by the fire dragon, and we just picked up ready-made ones."

The brothers below said that although this battle was enjoyable, it was not as energetic as the brothers of other battalions who fought with each other with open swords and guns.

My lord, this time I want my department to be the vanguard no matter what, that Ma Yuanli actually dared to say that our volunteer saber technique and marksmanship are not very good, this time I want him to see and understand. ”

Yang Lin was overjoyed and encouraged everyone repeatedly.

Compared with his generals, he is from modern times, that is, the fight of real swords and guns, which is really not his own strength.

After suffering a fiasco, in order to save face, Ma Yuanli sent people to shout in front of the battle in the past two days, wanting to fight with Yang Lin with real swords and guns, so that Yang Lin could only prevaricate with words.

The 1st Battalion of Yang Cheng, the 2nd Battalion of Yang Wei, and the 3rd Battalion of Long Zhijiao were immediately ordered to besiege the camp of Ma Yuanli's Chinese army.

Yang Bingyi's 5th battalion stopped Wang Jiye's department.

Jing Keqin, the captain of the guard battalion, led more than 1,000 people to monitor Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing.

Yang Lin led the rest of the guard battalion and the cavalry battalion as a reserve force.

The city gate opened, and the volunteers went out of the city in three ways, and everyone sang the recruit song and rushed to the base camp of the Great Western Army.

A few days ago, everyone witnessed Ma Yuanli abusing and killing Mr. Zhu, committing his corpse, and witnessing the corpses of the dead soldiers of the Great Western Army, one by one, they were suffocated.

Listening to the bursts of singing everywhere, and seeing through the mist that the volunteers set up a position and rushed straight to the tent of their Chinese army, Ma Yuanli felt frightened, and on the one hand, he ordered all his troops to meet the enemy, and on the other hand, he sent envoys to Liu Jinzhong, Chen Yingrui, and Feng Youqing barracks, so that they could lead their troops to come to reinforcements within a limited time.

The officers and men of the Onishi Army lifted the door panels that had been dismantled from the people's homes one by one, carried the wooden tables that had been looted from the people's homes, and lined up to kill them.

On the other hand, the volunteers stood in front of the rattan hand holding the rattan card, everyone blocked the rattan card flying over, everyone followed behind the rattan card, and everyone beat each other with weapons while walking, so as to strengthen the prestige.

When the two sides were fifty paces apart, dozens of men suddenly rushed out in front of the Volunteer Army, and more than 20 steps in front of the Great Western Army, they suddenly threw a bamboo tube filled with tung oil onto the wooden table on the door panel of the Great Western Army.

There is more than a pound of tung oil in each bamboo tube, and the tung oil is poured on the door panel, poured on the wooden table, and stained on the people around it.

In the face of such a change, the officers and men of the Onishi Army standing in the front row were slightly stunned, and suddenly saw rockets shot out of the volunteer formation, which shot into the air and then landed on the wooden table in front.

The smoke was billowing out, the tung oil was burning all at once, and the officers and men of the Great Western Army, who were preparing to meet the enemy just now, were terrified, some hurriedly threw down the wooden table and door panel in their hands and fled, and some hid in the door panel, and they were at a loss behind the wooden table.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, more tung oil cans were thrown over one after another, thick smoke billowed in front, and the officers and men of the Great Western Army who had not yet officially engaged were already in chaos.

At the same time, the volunteers counterattacked on all fronts, and the rattan players rushed to the front of the battle with rattan cards to cover the spearmen, and the boring palladium hands turned over the door panels and wooden tables.

Although there was a drill in this regard yesterday, the door panels and wooden tables were very heavy, and it was not easy to carry them, and it was not easy to turn them over, even if they were attacked by fire and lost their support, the volunteers suffered more than 20 casualties before they were able to turn over the hundreds of door panels and wooden tables in front of them.

Seeing that the door panel array and the wooden table array were rushed to the eighth floor, Ma Yuanli was quite annoyed, and while forming a new door panel array, he commanded everyone to meet the enemy.

Seeing that the opponent's door panel formation was broken in one fell swoop, the morale of the volunteers was greatly boosted, and under the leadership of Guo Chonglie, Long Zhijiao, and Yang Bingyi, it was quite difficult to deal with three sharp swords.

Ma Yuanli was quite unimpressed at first, the volunteers were strong, that was because the volunteers had sharp firearms, but as soon as they fought, Ma Yuanli felt that something was wrong, this volunteer army not only had sharp firearms, and the marksmanship was extremely accurate, but also the knife, marksmanship, and stick skills were also really powerful.

The opponents are all strong and strong, as if they have inexhaustible strength, but on the other hand, the Great Western Army, due to the long years of wandering around, is not as strong as the other party.

Ma Yuanli was originally there, thinking that as long as he persisted, when Wang Jiye, Chen Yingrui, and Feng Youqing led their troops to kill, they could use the numerical advantage to defeat the other party.

After waiting for half an hour, not only did the reinforcements not arrive, but there were also loud voices everywhere that the Sichuan people did not fight the Sichuan people, which made Ma Yuanli quite annoyed.

The generals around him cried one by one, pointing to the battlefield and saying worriedly: "Dadu Governor, Wang Jiye's army is dispatched, but it was intercepted halfway, the smoke is billowing in front of the battle, and the fire is soaring, it seems that Wang Jiye wants to rescue Dadu Governor, but because the volunteers are trying their best to block it."

Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing, the two slaves surnamed the three families, are not like this at all, they are very loud on their side, but there is no movement at all. ”

Ma Yuanli nodded and scolded: "Such Shu fangs, after the war, Lao Tzu will not peel them and swear not to be human." ”

The curtain friend was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed Ma Yuanli's arm and said: "Governor, now is the time to employ people, don't be reckless." ”

Ma Yuanli was furious, pushed away his friends, and said to the left and right: "Shu people are things that bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and besides, Chen Yingrui, Feng Youqing and others did not deal with Yang Lin in the past, this is basically a well-known thing.

You, you, go and give orders to Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing, if the reinforcements of Banzhu Xiang Kung Fu have not arrived, they will come to see you at that time. ”
