The armies of Li Zhen, Yang Banhou, and Smith converge. The strength of the army is not more than 5,000 soldiers, but has already exceeded 10,000. Among them, Yang Banhou continued to expand the army, and the soldiers under his command were approaching 5,000, and the soldiers led by Smith were also approaching 5,000, plus the more than 4,000 soldiers led by Zhou Xiuying, there were already more than 14,000 people, which was already an extremely huge number.

The three armies converged, and Li Zhen led his army to leave Yongfu County and approach Lingui County.

Now, the area controlled by Xi Yinglong has been compressed to Lingui County and the place north of Guilinxian, and the rest of the counties, prefectures and prefectures have been captured. The army advanced, and amazing things happened, and there was no resistance on the way, and no enemy troops were encountered.

It can be said that Li Zhen's journey was extremely easy.

On the first day of August, the army arrived in Lingui County and marched under the city.

It's just that Li Zhen looked at the scene at the gate of Lingui County, and he was a little puzzled.

What era is this, and the city is still empty.

That's right, it's an empty city plan.

The city gate of Lingui County was wide open, and Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen stood on the city tower. Such an arrangement is clearly Zhuge Wuhou's empty city plan, but it is a pity that there is no incense to play the piano.

Xi Changzhen complained: "My lord, the "empty city plan" you set is really not good, too vulgar, too uncreative, it is better to fight Li Zhen directly." At the mention of the battle, Xi Changzhen's eyes lit up, revealing an expression of infinite expectation.

This man is undoubtedly a war maniac.

Xi Yinglong rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, it is almost impossible to use the city wall to block Li Zhen, and it is not interesting to lead the army to fight with Li Zhen's army. In this way, it is interesting to open the gates of the city. Think about it, aren't you stationed in Zhennanguan also fail? Zhennan Pass also has the topography as a basis, coupled with the repair of the emperors of the previous dynasties, it is not an exaggeration to call it a towering city wall. But it was such a level, but it was collapsed by Li Zhen. Zhennanguan is like this, how can the small Lingui County block it? Instead of letting Li Zhen use cannons to destroy the city wall, it is better to take the initiative to open the city gate and let Li Zhen come in by himself. ”

Speaking of this, Xi Yinglong said expectantly: "The city gate is open, and I am thinking about whether Li Zhen dares to come in." If he doesn't dare to come, hehe......"

Xi Changzhen continued: "He didn't dare to come, did you dare to go out?" ”

Xi Yinglong rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, what am I going out for? Now, waiting for Li Zhenlai is the right thing.

The two were talking on the city tower, and Li Zhen led the troops to camp under the city, thinking in his heart. Zhou Xiuying opened her mouth and said: "Dashuai, the opening of the city gate was deliberately made by Xi Yinglong, who wanted to put forward Zhuge Wuhou's empty city plan to scare us. ”

Li Zhen nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Yang Banhou continued: "Commander Zhou, it is impossible for us to retreat. Moreover, the other party does not have the ability of Zhuge Wuhou, and Xi Yinglong is only left in Lingui County and other places, and there is no retreat. Xi Yinglong put on an empty city plan, only to increase his laughter! ”

He said loudly: "Great Marshal, the soldiers under my command can be used as pioneers to explore the way. ”

Smith said: "I haven't figured out the situation in Lingui County yet, and I really have to explore the way." Think about it, that old Zhuge put up an empty city plan, if he sent someone to test it a little, the situation would change immediately. ”

Li Zhen said: "The number of people is smaller, go and see!" ”

"Yes!"

Yang Banhou excitedly agreed, and sent a battalion of soldiers to rush towards the city.

Seeing this, Xi Yinglong sneered: "Let the soldiers in the city hide it for me, and you are not allowed to make a move." ”

Xi Changzhen said lightly: "Li Zhen is cunning, he won't be fooled." These actions of yours have added to the drawing of snakes. ”

"You, hum!!"

Xi Yinglong snorted and said, "Brother, can't you say something good?" ”

Xi Changzhen smiled and said, "I am a noble and honest person, and I don't say sycophants." Seeing Xi Yinglong's speechless expression, he changed his words and said, "To tell the truth, the fierce battle in the city is a big problem!" ”

When the two were talking, the soldiers of a battalion under the command of Yang Banhou had already rushed out, and the soldiers of this battalion were approaching the city tower, and they were also a little apprehensive in their hearts, afraid that they would suddenly shoot on the city tower. Especially at the city gates, an ambush may have been laid down. To the surprise of all the soldiers, there were no obstacles along the way, starting from the way to the tower, to the bottom of the tower, and then a battalion of soldiers quickly entered the city. They stood in the middle of the city and looked around, and found that the place near the gate was empty, and there were no soldiers.

"Fire!"

Xi Changzhen looked at the enemy army under the city tower and suddenly yelled.

The order was given, and the soldiers who were in ambush in the city immediately opened fire.

"Bang! Bang!!! ”

Suddenly, a dense burst of gunfire rang out.

"Whew! Shout!!! ”

At the same time, sharp arrows were also fired. The dense rain of arrows, as well as the constant bullets fired, killed nearly a hundred soldiers at once.

The battalion commander shouted: "Withdraw, there is an ambush, retreat quickly!" ”

In an instant, the battalion commander quickly withdrew with his soldiers.

Xi Yinglong stared at Xi Changzhen angrily and said, "Xi Yinglong, didn't you hear my order clearly just now?" No one is allowed to make a move! Why did you suddenly give the order to expose the soldiers who were lying in ambush at the city gates? ”

He snorted angrily, and the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised.

Xi Changzhen said: "If there are no soldiers to fight back, don't you think it's strange? Let the Qing soldiers who entered the city take a look around, and then the soldiers went back and told Li Zhen that there was nothing in the city. If so, what do you think Li Zhen will think? You will definitely think that there is an ambush in the city, and you will not think that it is really an empty city. Now the soldiers sent to Li Zhen to explore the road are facing head-on, and they think that we opened the city gate to deliberately attract them. Only by exposing some of the soldiers in the city will it be beneficial for us to continue the battle with Li Zhen. ”

"You're right!"

Xi Yinglong snorted, still very unhappy.

The soldiers of one of the battalions that were repulsed withdrew, and by this time the kung fu had already lost nearly a hundred people. He retreated to Yang Banhou's side and said loudly: "Commander, there is an ambush in the city. As soon as we entered the city, an ambush opened fire. Some of these men used bows and arrows, and some used guns. I speculate that the opponent may have too few bullets in their guns, so they will shoot with bows and arrows. ”

Yang Banhou nodded slightly, looked at Li Zhen and said, "Marshal, even if there are ambushes in the city, we must go." ”

Li Zhen said: "Yang Banhou, order the soldiers of the regiment under your command to attack. The rest of the soldiers are outside the city, and the more than 5,000 soldiers under your command are already a formidable force. ”

Yang Banhou received the order and immediately ordered to go down.

More than 5,000 soldiers rushed towards the county seat of Lingui County with great momentum.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!"

Xi Changzhen rubbed his hands, his eyes flashing with a strong fighting intent. Xi Yinglong's expression also became solemn, and he said solemnly: "Brother, these people are handed over to the soldiers under your command to deal with. ”

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to catch them, and it will be difficult for them to move an inch!"

Xi Changzhen had a confident and calm expression on his face, and ordered again and again to order the soldiers who had already been prepared in the city to face the battle.
