That night, Yang Lin organized a night attack, since the training, the night attack is a major means of defeating the enemy and a sharp weapon of the volunteers.

At the end of the day, Wang Shuji led his troops out of the camp quietly and made a detour to the flank.

According to the daytime situation, it is speculated that this is the defense area of Feng Shuangli, the rear military governor of the Great Western Army, and the Feng Department fought for a day during the day, and the casualties in the army were very large, and the combat effectiveness was sharply reduced.

The soldiers squatted on the ground to eat dry food, Wang Shuji picked up the monoclot and looked carefully at the big tent of the Chinese army of the volunteer army ten miles away.

There are five watchtower cars in front of the big tent, and the number of lanterns is hung to guide the departments, and now the big tent of the Chinese army is pitch black, that is, there is no signal to attack.

After half a pillar of incense, suddenly the observer next to him pointed to a row of lights burning in the distance, densely rising into the air, illuminating half of the sky.

Wang Shu was overjoyed, and everyone lit torches and shouted to kill him.

July is in the middle of summer, many people can't sleep at all in the first half of the night, how do you know that you have just entered the dream in the second half of the night, and suddenly heard the sound of killing behind you,

The sky is like day, when attacking the camp, the volunteers put a Kong Ming lantern in the air, and saw so many Kong Ming lanterns appear in the sky at once, and suddenly saw this situation, many people panicked, and they didn't know what to do.

Even if they were fighting, they only ate two meals a day, and their mental and physical health was quite poor.

During the day, Feng Shuangli fought for a day, and the casualties in the army were very large, and many people suffered from heat stroke in this hot weather.

At the front, there were more than ten squads, they were in groups of three or five, dressed up as the Great Western Army, holding torches, carrying cans of tung oil, and rows of firecrackers to take advantage of the chaos to mingle in.

Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, he threw a jar of tung oil on top of the enemy's tent, and then lit it, igniting a raging fire and causing panic among the opponents.

Or take advantage of people's unpreparedness to throw rows of firecrackers into it, the sound of firecrackers exploding is like the sound of firecrackers, and the dense sound of firecrackers increases the panic of the other party.

Wang Shuji led the main force to follow closely behind, attacking from behind, setting fire to the fire, throwing earth-shaking thunder on the other, and firing the gun on the other.

Although the Great Western Army was on guard at night, no one expected that the Volunteers would dare to launch a counterattack in the area about a mile away from the city, and the night attack on the troops, everyone was in a mess everywhere.

Hearing that the soldiers and horses of the headquarters were attacked, Feng Shuangli, the governor of the rear army, got up from a large room in a panic, and looked back, and the whole camp was in a sea of fire.

Feng Shuangli shouted loudly and beckoned soldiers and horses, but during the day, all the troops suffered heavy casualties in the First World War, and now they were suddenly attacked and chaotic, and it was even more difficult to gather soldiers and horses to organize a counterattack.

At the same time that Wang Shuji led his troops to attack Feng Shuangli's department, through the guidance of the lanterns on the watchtower car in front of the big tent, all regiments and battalions on the front line also attacked.

During the day, everyone watched from the wall in the rear, rested for a day, raised the spirit of the animals, and now it is the right time to kill.

The guerrilla general Yang Cheng of the 1st Regiment and the guerrilla general Feng Shuangli of the 7th Regiment led their troops to kill and pounced on the battalions of Zhang Nengqi and Zhang Wenxiu respectively.

The morale of the volunteers was greatly boosted, and one by one they shouted and rushed into the enemy formation under the leadership of the captain.

On the other hand, the various units of the Great Western Army were suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, and everyone was in a mess, especially the soldiers and horses of the Sichuan People's Guard, which were not only underfed in the past, but also discriminated against.

Got up from his sleep and looked at everything in front of him blankly, now the sky is full of Kong Ming lanterns, the entire military camp is like day, and the artillery on the opponent's position is extremely fierce.

Bonfires were burning everywhere, explosions were heard one after another, and they were suddenly attacked, and the whole army of the Great Western Army was quite panicked, how could it be possible to send reinforcements in such a situation?

After half an hour like this, Feng Shuangli's department was broken, and he moved closer to Zhang Nengqi's department with thousands of remnants of the defeated army.

Zhang Nengqi was shocked, this is a rout, and it is clearly a group of scourges.

Standing behind Zhamu, Zhang Nengqi scolded: "Your troops collapsed in less than half an hour after nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses. Tell me, do you want me to kill you right away? Or do you turn around and kill the enemy, so that I can intercede with the Lord of Long Live for you in the future? ”

Looking at the volunteers who were in hot pursuit, Feng Shuangli pleaded: "General Zhengbei, the volunteers are too terrible."

Our brothers in the Great Western Army eat poorly, and there are many night blindness in the army, while the other party is alive and well.

The other party attacked from the flank first, and I resisted desperately, but who expected that another army and horses would be killed from the front, and the brothers really couldn't resist being defeated. ”

Zhang Nengqi was furious and ordered the soldiers in the army to release arrows, so that Feng Bu was expelled and turned to fight without causing a greater riot.

Zhang Xianzhong heard the news of the attack on the camp by the volunteers in the city, and complained bitterly, and many other departments in the city were not prepared, and it took a lot of time to gather people and horses out of the city to meet the battle.

In desperation, Zhang Xianzhong led the pro-army out of the city to reinforce, but by the time he arrived, the volunteers had already withdrawn to the camp.

The troops counted the men and horses, and the losses amounted to four or five thousand people, especially the rear general Feng Shuangli's troops, the camp was breached, the heavy grain and grass were lost, and the casualties reached more than 30%.

After a busy night of collecting troops and returning to the city, the news of the successive defeats of the Great Western Army had already spread throughout the city.

Zhang Xianzhong was furious, and in order to vent his anger, he not only pulled out all the tea customers in the teahouse and sent them away, but also sent people to burn down half of the street.

On the carrying hall, everyone sighed.

The scouts reported that when they received the defeat of the Great Western Army and the volunteers went straight to the capital, in order to rob Zhang Xianzhong of the huge treasure, the generals in Sichuan marched to the capital.

The deputy general Yang Zhan has left Jiading Mansion, Cao Xun has left Lizhou and Yazhou, and the forward is only more than 200 miles away from the capital.

The governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Fan Yixuan, also led his army to Neijiang and fought with Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, and the army approached Zizhong.

After a period of madness, Zhang Xianzhong also seemed very calm, and said: "Back then, my old Zhang led his troops into the customs, wanting to establish a regime like Liu Xuande, and then waiting for the opportunity to go on a northern expedition.

Now the four Chuan are all over the place, and the barbarian Qing Tartars occupy Lao Tzu's hometown, and the people are miserable.

Lao Tzu, no, it should be that I am determined not to be entangled with this Yang Lin, and decided to go north to resist the Qing Dynasty, what do you think? ”

Yan Ximing, Jiang Dingzhen, Gong Wanjing and other Sichuan officials burst into tears one by one, looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said: "The emperor has such insight is really a blessing for my Sichuan people, no, it is a blessing for the countrymen."

If the emperor really decided to lead the army to the north, he would not be humble to himself, and would be willing to send volunteers to speak for the emperor. ”

Zhang Xianzhong watched everyone sweep away the past depression one by one, and said with a smile: "What Yang Lin said is not completely unreasonable, it is really hateful, or the number of Daming Qi is not exhausted, and there are still a few years to survive."

I don't want to destroy the Ming Dynasty immediately, I can withdraw from the city capital and coexist with them. “

Yan Ximing was overjoyed, bowed three times, and then came to see Yang Lin with a letter written by Zhang Xianzhong.

After Yan Ximing left, Zhang Xianzhong continued to say to the generals under him: "Everyone, since I want to go north to fight against the Barbarian Qing, it would be a pity if this part of the city capital was thrown away like this.

In the past ten years, I have also accumulated countless wealth, I think like in Wuchang, each person who comes to send a ingot of 2 taels of silver, so that everyone must be grateful for my favor. ”

Wang Zhaolin shook his head and said: "Emperor, Sichuan is the country of abundance, if Yang Lin occupies the city capital, it will be even more powerful, if he does not recognize it at that time, it will definitely be a problem for my henchmen." ”

Zhang Xianzhong was slightly stunned and said: "The hero of the world, Yang Lin is really my great enemy in life, you tell me, how should I be?" ”

Wang Zhaolin said with a smile: "Emperor, no matter what, you can't let Yang Lin get a good city capital, and when you evacuate, you can burn the palace, burn the houses, and coerce the people to flee."

In this way, it can cover the retreat of our army, so that Yang Lin can get a dilapidated city. ”

Zhang Kewang and the others were shocked, and they all came out to dissuade them: "Father, don't do this."

If this is the case, Yang Lin will not give up, if he leads his troops to attack us and others at that time, what will we do? ”

Wang Zhaolin said with a smile: "Everything is about strength, the main force of our Great Western Kingdom still exists, and there are still 150,000 people, not afraid of any opponent."

When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he smiled and said: "What Prime Minister Wang Cheng said is exactly what I want, let Yan Ximing negotiate with Yang Lin, and everyone is ready to burn the city, so Yang Lin will regret it." ”

When Wang Zhaolin heard this, he laughed.
