Chapter 317: Sweeping through the forest

After going ashore, the army immediately followed the predetermined plan, and the troops were divided into two routes, and under the leadership of the officer, they went straight to Sucheng in the district. Before the war, the Xiang army had already obtained a detailed map of Linyi's country, so it was not worried that people would not know the road. The people of Linyi along the road suddenly found that they saw many strangely equipped troops on the street, and they were greatly shocked.

And as long as the Jin army encounters natives with weapons in their hands, they don't say a word, "Bang!" A gunshot rang out. This is not that the soldiers of the Xiang army are cruel, but before the battle, every officer of the Xiang army was sternly warned that any Linyi person with a weapon could be a potential enemy of the Jin army.

The Jin army pursued all the way, annihilating no less than 3,000 enemies who served as snipers along the way, and the Jin army's own casualties were basically negligible, and then the Xiang army marines arrived at Sucheng at a very low price.

More than six miles around Sucheng District, between the two waters, the three sides of the mountains, the north and south overlooking the water, the situation is dangerous, the weapons of the Linyi country, the heavy amount of baggage are hoarded in this city. The water under the city was turbulent and flowing downward, and the opposite bank was heavily guarded. Originally, if there was none, but the Great Jin merchants 'kindly' built a big stone bridge over the river, and it was really difficult for the Jin army to cross the river.

Since the overseas trade of the Great Jin Dynasty prospered, the merchants of the Great Jin Dynasty began to walk the world, and everywhere they went, the merchants of the Great Jin Dynasty began to buy the powerful and pay attention to the contact with the opposition forces in various places. The bridge in front of Sucheng in Xiangqu District was not unopposed, but it was bought off by the merchants of the Great Jin Dynasty, and in the name of trade, coupled with years of cooperation, a large and strong bridge was built. Even if the people of Linyi want to destroy it, it will not be easy.

With this stone bridge, the Jin army easily came to the city of Ousu, and the people of Linyi, who were hiding behind the city wall, watched with anxiety and panic as the Jin army got closer and closer. At this moment, after a loud bang, I saw several black iron balls flying out of the Jin army's array, one of which was slightly lower, and the force was too strong, directly hitting the city wall, smashing a crack.

Several of the iron balls crossed the city wall and landed right among the defenders of Linyi behind, and after hitting a soldier on the head, the soldier immediately turned into a headless corpse. Before he could even snort, he fell to the ground and died. And the other Linyi soldiers who were rubbed by the iron ball were even more missing arms and legs. Everyone rolled and screamed miserably on the ground, and the other Linyi people who were not injured were also frightened, squatting in the corner and shivering.

Ou Sucheng Taishou Fan Lian looked at the sky full of artillery fire and listened to the deafening sound of cannons. His face was ashen. The heart is full of despair. The Jin army's attack was too ferocious. Coupled with the rumors from the north: King Linyi has been captured by the Jin army! The morale of the Linyi army in the defensive area of Sucheng was extremely low.

Listening to a dense burst of gunfire outside the city, Fan Lian frowned and said, "It's not good! The firearms of the Xiang army are too powerful, and their artillery is even more invincible. It seems that the city of Ou Sucheng is not guaranteed! ”

At this moment, a lieutenant hurriedly ran to Fan Lian and said, "My lord, quickly retreat, we can't stop it!" The brothers simply could not organize an effective attack, they could only be beaten passively! If you hesitate for half a minute, it's too late to escape! ”

Fan Lian looked at the battlefield nervously, shook his head slightly, and said: "No, we must not retreat easily, behind us is the country, once this place is occupied by the Jin army, not only the weapons and food in the city will fall into the hands of the Jin army, but also the Jin army will completely open up the passage to the capital." At the same time, large swathes of the northern land will be ceded to the enemy without a fight! ”

"Lord Duwei, please organize a counterattack immediately, be sure to block the assault of the Jin army, and no matter what, you must block the Jin army in Ousucheng, so as to buy time for the nobles in the national capital. It is said that they are electing a new king of Linyi, as long as a new king of Linyi is elected, we can avoid the situation of fighting for each other, and avoid being defeated by the Jin army! ”

With the encouragement of the Taishou and the Commander of Ousu City, a group of Linyi people finally mustered up the courage to stand up with spears, and they used their shields as cover to stand on the city wall to desperately resist the attack of the Jin army. In the middle, Linyi people continued to fall, and the corpses that fell on the city wall continued to increase, and the casualties of the defenders of Ousucheng continued to increase.

Fan Lian saw with his own eyes that hundreds of Linyi soldiers had just stood on the wall when they were wiped out by a burst of artillery fire. As the Xiang army repeatedly beat the Linyi people, the casualties of the Linyi people are getting bigger and bigger! Finally, with a loud bang, the city gate of Ou Sucheng was blown into the sky, and in front of the powerful gunpowder bag, the seemingly solid city gate of the people of Linyi was like broken tofu.

At this time, the people of Linyi couldn't support it, and many people began to retreat a little, preparing to escape.

Can't keep it! Fan Lian sighed and instructed his subordinates: "You take a thousand people to cover, and the others will retreat to the capital with me!" ”

Then he galloped on his horse, and the rest of the crowd followed. Seeing this scene, how can the Jin army be willing to let go?! Rushing to shoot at the fleeing Linyi soldiers, the road from the capital to Ou Sucheng was full of dead bodies of Linyi people! In the small battle, the soldiers of Linyi could not kill or injure the Xiang army at all, but let themselves suffer more than thousands of casualties, and the people of Linyi were frustrated.

In order to defend the capital, the people of Linyi transferred all the only 30,000 soldiers and horses to the capital, including 5,000 elephant soldiers, which is also the killer weapon of the people of Linyi.

The Xiang army followed the rout of Linyi until it reached the foot of Dianchong City, but the Jin army did not seem to be in a hurry to attack the city, which made the Linyi people in the city feel a little relieved. However, the Linyi people in the city did not dare to take it lightly, especially Fan Lian's arrival increased the panic of the Linyi people in Dianchong City.

Since the arriving Xiang army did not attack the city and had been staying out of the range of the Linyi people outside the city, this abnormal behavior aroused the suspicion of many Linyi people, especially Fan Lian, who had fought with the Jin people in Ousucheng and knew that the opponent's firearms were sharp. Under normal circumstances, the Jin army should not be like this, just like in Ou Sucheng, the Jin army came up with a fierce bombardment, and directly blew up the people of Linyi!

Looking at the quiet Xiangjun outside the city, Fan Lian suddenly had all kinds of bad feelings! The more afraid of ghosts, the more ghosts there are, he looked back, and suddenly saw the south gate of Dianchong City, suddenly the fire soared into the sky, and there was a shout of killing!

Fan Lian was shocked, and hurriedly led the team to the south gate, and when he arrived two streets away from the south gate, he saw a group of defeated Linyi soldiers, a captain covered in blood, angry and shouted: "My lord, it's not good! The city is broken! ”

Fan Lianhu was shocked when he heard this, his face was full of incredulity, he grabbed the lieutenant, gritted his teeth and said, "How could the Jin army break the city so easily? ”

The lieutenant said angrily: "The lieutenant who is responsible for guarding the south gate has gathered a group of people and surrendered to the Jin army, he has already dedicated the south gate to the Jin army, and now the Xiang army has entered the city!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hateful voice of the captain of the South Gate came from afar: "Hehe, hello two adults! This official has already surrendered to the Great Jin Empire, why don't the two adults also surrender early? Don't lose the position of marquis! ”

Fan Lian said hatefully: "I, Lin Yi, are not thin on you, why are you carrying the kingdom on your back?" ”

The captain of the south gate said without shame: "Hmph, hahaha, Lin Yi is good, but with more than ten yuan a year, how can I afford to buy how many silk clothes, good wine and porcelain produced in the Great Jin Dynasty?" It happened that a Jin merchant wanted to give me 10,000 silver dollars, and he gave me 5,000 first, and if I opened the gate of the city when they came, then I would get 5,000. With this money, I can live a worry-free life in any city in Dajin, so that I don't have to lose my life, why don't I do it? ”

"Besides, this Linyi is the hometown of China, and I myself am also a remnant of China, and now returning to China is just recognizing my ancestors and returning to my ancestors. However, you hateful natives have not only stolen our Chinese land, but also wantonly harmed our Chinese people. ”

"Humph! For the sake of colleagues in the past, Lao Tzu will tell you another good news, as early as a few days ago, one of the nine major festival envoys, oh no, now it should be said that one of the ten major festival envoys, General Liu, commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers of the Hengshan defense line, and is rushing here day and night, and it will not be long before tens of thousands of troops can sweep all over Linyi. As the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, why don't the two of them also return to the Heavenly Empire? ”

Listening to the words of the captain of the south gate, Fan Lian was so angry that he waved his sword desperately and stepped forward to fight with the other party. Seeing this, the captain of the South Gate snorted coldly: "Hmph! I don't know what to lift! Someone! Kill me! Brothers, the Xiang army of the Great Jin Empire is watching us right behind us, killing for the empire! Saying that, the leader rushed towards Fan Lian and the others.

The two armies fought, and the fight was not fierce, after all, everyone knew each other well, and it was difficult to be ruthless. At this time, the back of the box also rushed into the city from the south gate, as soon as the box army entered the city, it was very different, as long as they saw the Lin Yi soldiers who resisted stubbornly with weapons, they would be killed. The Xiang army was originally a professional soldier, and they were all veterans selected from the government soldiers, and the killing skills were first-class, plus the city gate was broken, and the hearts of the Lin Yi soldiers were taken away, and it immediately presented a one-sided tragedy!

The earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded through the clouds, and the Xiang army frantically killed from one end of the long street to the other, killing the Lin Yi soldiers in confusion and retreating in panic. Slowly retreat to the last stronghold, the palace! At this time, there was already a mess in the palace of Linyi, and the concubines, palace maids, chamberlains, and guards were scurrying around, like a headless fly!

The sky in Linyi is finally falling! In fact, since beating Fan Yi, the king of Linyi, Lin Yi has lost hope of turning the tables! Tens of thousands of van troops, like a broken bamboo, like a fragmented arrow, quickly advanced all over Linyi. Five days later, the Xiang army took Lurong, the former county seat of Rinan County, which also marked the end of the Jin army's military operations in Linyi.

Although the large-scale military operation is over, there are still small-scale rebellions, but this does not affect the overall situation. The military operations of the Great Jin Dynasty in Linyi greatly shocked the countries on the Indochina Peninsula, and they finally felt the power of the Celestial Empire, in order to avoid becoming the next target of attack, many countries are organizing a new round of tribute!
