On the second day, the Great Western Army really did not attack the city, at this time Zheng Jue had a bold conjecture in his heart, because the history books of later generations said that Sun Kewang and the famous generals of the Great Western Army were in September of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and they should have helped Zhang Xianzhong consolidate the control of Sichuan in the Maozhou area of northern Sichuan. Because the Great Western Army will go south to Guizhou and Yunnan in November, it is common sense to send troops south in advance, but in any case, this person in the city is unlikely to be Sun Kewang

Zheng Jue originally planned to take advantage of the Great Western Army's siege today to uncover their masks, but they didn't attack the city, Zheng Jue was wondering if he would go to them to provoke it

And the Great Western Army camp at this time

"Brother Liu, what should I do? Li Sixing asked Liu Zhen, if Zheng Jue was here, he would find that there were no adults here at all, but he received Sun Kewang's order to prepare for the November army to go south to Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and to explore the road first, but he didn't expect to give his feet from Guilin in the first step

"Let's just go, really? I am not reconciled to have so many brothers under the city of Guilin" Liu Zhen is the son of Liu Wenxiu, and the one who spoke to him was the son of the famous Li Dingguo, and they were all second-generation generals of the Great Western Army

It is true that Sun Kewang's empty city plan has achieved certain results, although Zheng Jue has become suspicious, but he is still hesitant to take the risk to test it, if it is not Sun Kewang, if it is Sun Kewang, Zheng Jue may not be able to come back, after all, Zheng Jue can't fly, and the cave in the north has been blown up, it would be a good idea to blast it open, but is it really good to go to find out information in such a high-profile way?

Zheng Jue didn't plan to go to the camp of the Great Western Army, Zheng Jue felt that Sun Kewang was a Cao Cao-style figure according to the description in the history books, but he was not as ruthless as Cao Cao, so Cao Cao became Emperor Wu of Wei and Sun Kewang became a traitor

So Sun Kewang's talent is there, if he is in the camp, he knows that the reinforcements have arrived, his own troops are insufficient, and the artillery has been bombed again, even if Guilin is defeated, it will not be interesting, in the face of chicken ribs, Sun Kewang will inevitably make the same decision as Cao Cao - withdraw the troops

In order to increase the accuracy of the experiment, Zheng Jue asked Yang Zimo to borrow 2,000 cavalry from Cao Ye on the second day to attack from the north gate, and then go to Yangshuo County after going around to the south, where he bought as much sulfur as he could, and entered the city from the north gate when he came back

When Yang Zimo went out of the city, the Great Western Army came out with about 5,000 cavalry to pursue, Zheng Jue ordered the officers and soldiers on the North City Gate to fire guns and cannons, accompanied by a rain of arrows, Yang Zimo occasionally came back to the horse pistol, the Great Western Army was unfortunately defeated, and when Yang Zimo came back in the evening, the military camp of the Great Western Army did not make any response

Zheng Jue smiled, since he received the order to support Guilin, he had never laughed so happily, because if it was Sun Kewang, he should have withdrawn tonight, if it wasn't for Sun Kewang, it would never have been able to attack Guilin City, and that night was the most solid night Zheng Jue slept in Guilin

On the second day, Zheng Jue climbed the city wall and found that the banner of the Great Western Army was still in the north of Guilin facing the morning sun to do morning exercises, Zheng Jue knew that the city was not only not Sun Kewang, but also a second fool, because he saw that the army was being ordered in the camp of the Great Western Army, ready to continue the siege of the city, and this fool really went to find the Buxiu tent two days ago

Zheng Jue looked at the numb Daxi soldiers under the city, attacking the city, being scalded and stoned to death, Mingjin collected the troops, Zhu Zhijian and Cao Ye found Zheng Jue that night, they felt that the city was probably not led by Sun Kewang personally, and asked Zheng Jue to steal the camp, and then they cooperated in the back, Zheng Jue said that it was okay to fight, and the cannons on the city wall must be dismantled to the city to cooperate with the bombardment of the Daxi Army barracks, Cao Ye said that there was no problem. Even these two living treasures can see that it is not Sun Kewang, and they are afraid of a yarn

That night, the ten relatively large Franky guns at the south gate and the east gate were dismantled by Cao Ye's order, and that night, the artillery team and Zheng Jue's subordinates went out of the city and pushed them until they pushed the middle military camp of the Great Western Army within range

After the twenty artillery bombardment, Zheng Jue ordered the crossbow team to set fire, the gun team and the infantry team advanced, Liu Zhen was on duty that night, with thousands of soldiers wanted to kill out of the camp, but was pressed by the gun team and artillery and couldn't raise his head, Li Sixing led people to pull Liu Zhen down, Li Sixing saw that the camp was already in chaos, and Guilin seemed to be going to send troops, and immediately ordered the whole army to withdraw to Hengyang

Zheng Jue saw that the Great Western Army was powerless, and there was a faint tendency to retreat, and ordered the queue of the Gun Team to move forward and send the infantry team in to collect the heads

At this time, Zheng Jue heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when Zheng Jue came to his senses, Zhu Zhijian, the old grandson, had already entered the camp of the Great Western Army with thousands of cavalry, Zheng Jue simply ordered the infantry team to rush in and grab the head

That night, the Great Western Army was killed, Guilin only dispatched less than 10,000 people to fight like this, if this is Sun Kewang, then there is no need to be afraid, Liu Zhen rushed out of dozens of miles under the forced leadership of Li Sixing before he came to his senses, returned to Hengyang to count the troops, there were less than 30,000 people, the two did not expect that a small Guilin city could make them lose 20,000 people, and the two of them even remembered Zheng Jue's name in their hearts and cursed

Zheng Jue, who was drinking in the governor's yamen, sneezed, didn't pay attention, and finally wanted to go home, Zheng Jue thought that this time he would go back to pack up and go north, and he would go to Fuzhou for the Chinese New Year this year, and he would continue to go north to Yingtianfu to find Li Yue after the New Year, and then I am afraid that there would not be much rest for long, after all, Shunzhi had changed the Yuan and called the emperor in Beijing, and it would not be long before Duoduo would lead the troops south, Zheng Jue did not have the strength to fight hard with the Qing army, so he could only shrink in his shell

When leaving Guilin, because Guilin was upstream, you could take a boat when you went back, and you didn't have to walk, and the soldiers who had been tired for a month slept the boat

Zheng Jue asked Zimo to count the dead and wounded brothers, more than 900 people were reduced in battle, of which more than 500 were killed in battle, this time he came to Guilin because Zhu Yousong had ascended the throne and the north had fallen, so he gave Zheng Jue tens of thousands of taels of silver, so they didn't let Zheng Jue eat and drink and take care of themselves

When Zheng Jue returned to Jingyuan City, it was already five days later, Zheng Jue looked at the inside of Jingyuan City, which had already been repaired, Zheng Jue specially asked Steward Wang and Shimo to build the roads inside wider, because Zheng Jue had already ordered people to make some four-wheeled carriages, and in the future, Jingyuan City would be under a lot of traffic pressure
