Chapter 566: Under siege

Niu Jinsong heard that there were people from the fifth battalion of the left in the city of Dongchang Mansion, but he rarely hesitated, since he voted for the Three Guards, he had never been afraid, he had always had his life and was not afraid of death. But now it is different, this is the first time he is the chief general of an army, and the net worth and life of thousands of hot-blooded soldiers under his hands are in the hands of one person, so he can't help but think deeply.

Niu Jinsong, the head of the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, had already heard of its great name as early as when he went north to Sanwei with the refugees, and the leaders of the five battalions and Liu Guoneng were all famous roles, but Liu Guoneng later swelled too much and actually established himself as the king of Taiyuan Mansion, and had the posture of opening up a new dynasty, so he was targeted by the Ming army and fought to the death in the Shaanxi and Gansu areas, and he still can't raise his head.

Heisenberg saw that Niu Jinsong was wandering, and finally he was impatient to wait, so he urged him to speed up the march, otherwise he would not be able to reach Dongchangfu City before dark.

"General Hai, have you heard of the Fifth Battalion of the Left Wing? That's on the same level as Liu Guoneng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng, and now if they occupy Dongchang Mansion, we people will go, but I'm afraid that we won't be able to defeat the enemy, and we will lose our brothers in vain..."

When it comes to the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, Heisenberg is full of disdain, in his eyes the thieves are just robbers, how can they be compared with the Ming official army?

"No matter how powerful it is, it's a thief, didn't the general take Taiyuan City, the first important town on the nine sides, with a few thousand people? How can a small Dongchang Mansion be the opponent of my Ming official army? If they don't open the city and surrender, I will bomb them with artillery and regret that they will be reincarnated as human beings in this life..."

Niu Jinsong's eyes widened when he said this, as if he knew Heisenberg for the first time, he had known him for more than a year, and it was the first time that he had said so many words in front of him, and it was an extremely full sentence.

Of course, Niu Jinsong will not change his mind lightly because of Heisenberg's words, "I can't listen to you this time, I, Niu Jinsong, as the main general of the forward, will be responsible for my brothers, and this matter should be reported to the general for decision..."

Heisenberg saw that he couldn't convince Niu Jinsong, so he had to shrug his shoulders, "Since the general has already made a decision, we might as well stay put, just wait for the general to come......"

Niu Jinsong was about to respond, but suddenly heard the scout report, but his sharp voice had already revealed the urgency of the enemy's situation.

"Newspaper... There is an army of unknown numbers ahead, galloping towards us..."

"Newspaper... There is an unknown number of troops on the right flank......"

Niu Jinsong was suspicious in his heart about the number of people who did not know how many people there were, but the other party was actually surrounded by two sides, which was much more tricky. The left flank of the vanguard army was the canal, which served as both a barrier to the left flank and an obstacle to prevent them from moving to the left. And the only rear, if you choose, it is equivalent to withdrawing troops, but in the case of the opponent's large army pressing the border, this withdrawal is easy to be defeated.

Niu Jinsong has seen the Three Guards win more with less than once, and beat the retreating Mongolian Tartars to a sparse turn. Therefore, he had actually decided to adopt Heisenberg's construction in situ and wait for Li Xin's arrival.

It's just that Niu Jinsong never imagined that this thief would come as soon as he said it, and he would come so quickly. He looked closely, only to see several earthy yellow flags advancing rapidly towards him at an unbelievable speed along with the locust-like crowd.

Seeing that the shape was like this, Niu Jin slapped his thigh in a hurry, he knew that this was the case, it would not be like the general asking for this life, and when the time came, the general would personally bring the illness to kill him, who could be his opponent? But in this situation where the knife was already on his neck, it was too late to say anything, and there were only two ways for him to do, one was to form a formation to resist the enemy, and the other was to retreat as soon as possible while the rear was not yet outflanked.

Heisenberg was extremely calm at the moment, without saying a word, calmly looking at the thieves roaring in all directions, if someone looked carefully at this moment, his eyes actually flashed with excitement, and then sighed, this red-haired ghost must be crazy, and he would feel excited in the face of the tide of thieves...

At this moment, Niu Jinsong made a decision in an instant and resolutely chose the former. He suddenly remembered the battle that the general Li Xin led the Three Guards Army in the north of Xinzhou, Shanxi.

"General, the thieves are still less than two miles away from the military formation..."

"General......

In the face of the scouts' constant reports, Niu Jinsong didn't have time to think about it, and after taking a deep breath, he resolutely ordered: "The whole army is backed by the Grand Canal to form a formation, and follow me Niu Jinsong to kill the thieves..."

"Kill the thief... Kill the thief..."

Niu Jinsong's voice fell, and the eight hundred soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill the thief... Kill the thief..."This was followed by a complex and skillful formation of formations, relying on the Grand Canal to form a Gustav phalanx... Niu Jinsong glanced over, but saw that the thieves were getting closer and closer, and it was roughly estimated that there were no less than 30,000 or 40,000 people...... It's shocking to watch... Niu Jinsong secretly thought, even if the general is here at this moment, I'm afraid he won't be able to win completely... This thought was only a flash in his mind, and finally his chest was filled with determination to fight to the death...

"Kill the thief... Kill the thief..."

The sound of angry shouts came into Niu Jinsong's ears, the long-lost feeling seemed to come back, he suddenly felt that he was fighting with the general in this battle, and the previous self-confidence suddenly returned to his body, in the face of the passionate eight hundred soldiers, he suddenly pulled out the Yanling knife on his waist, raised it high, and shouted: "I Niu Jinsong is here, swear not to retreat half a step..."

"I swear not to retreat... I will not give up..."

Just when half a hundred soldiers were fighting to the death and not retreating, Heisenberg led his first artillery battalion and the 800 infantry soldiers to the right side of the formation, and when the last eight-pounder gun was adjusted to the angle, he couldn't wait to open the cannon under his command. Instantaneous, cannon salvo......

The five official ships on the Grand Canal slowly went south, and Li Xin was comforting the angry Zhang Fangyan, but he was slandering in his heart, this old man turned out to be bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and Lu Jinji's heart was so black that he didn't have a temper at all, but he was respectful to him, but he was very tough when he started his temper. But no matter what, the old man finally accepted the reality and acquiesced to Li Xin's behavior of pulling him south. But his mouth was still very tough: "Don't think that the old man agrees with your behavior, don't count any credit on the old man's head at that time, the old man will also participate in your crime of sneering the official..."

Now that Zhang Fangyan has made concessions, Li Xin naturally can't be aggressive anymore, so he has to laugh along the way, one by one, he is also afraid that the old man will be angry just now.

"General, the messenger of the Jingshi asks to see..."

Suddenly, there was an urgent report from the soldiers outside the cabin, and Li Xin wondered, why did there be another wave of edicts? Could it be that this time it was passed on to himself? As a result, after the messenger of the decree got on the ship and entered the cabin, Li Xin found that this person was the soldier who had been pulled on the ship by Niu Dan, that is, Niu Jinsong, and went to Henan to convey the holy decree to Yang Sichang.

"How did you come back again?"

As soon as the messenger saw Li Xin, he fell to his knees and cried for Li Xin to save him. Li Xin was inexplicably crying by this person, so he asked him to get up and speak well, no matter what, he was also the one who conveyed the holy decree, and the minimum number of etiquette had to be given.

"The general Rong Yu, the villain galloped all the way south, until he passed the Dongchang Mansion and met a rider, the villain relied on the bow and arrow neatly, and shot it under the horse with an arrow. Who knows, who knows, the villain got off the horse and tortured him, but he got amazing news... Dongchang, the people in the city of Dongchang Mansion are actually thieves from the fifth battalion of Gezuo..."

"The Fifth Battalion of the Left Battalion?" Li Xin was shocked and asked subconsciously.

"It's that gang of people who come back, it is said that the combat effectiveness is not under Liu Zhang Li, the villain is quick to see the opportunity, and the horse and foot strength under the crotch are good, otherwise, otherwise there will be no chance to come back and see the general again..."

Li Xin naturally knew very well the origin and ability of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, and since he returned to the capital, he left behind a military report from the south, among which there was news of the various units of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, most of them were hiding in the Yinghuo Mountain area at the junction of southern Henan and northern Huguang, threatening Nanjing to the east on one hand, and threatening the hinterland of the Central Plains to the north on the other side. The officials were overwhelmed, and some people on the side proposed to change the suppression of the 5th Battalion of the Left Battalion to Fu, and even Yang Zhuoran, the superintendent of the army, personally went to the mountains to meet with the leaders of the 5th Battalion of the 5th Battalion of the Left, trying to surrender...

This Yinghuo Mountain is more well-known in later generations is Dabie Mountain, when the red army advanced into Dabie Mountain, its routine is the same.

"General, the villain also uses important military intelligence to report..."

Li Xin's head tightened, could it be that the situation was worse than imagined?

"Did the general send a striker to take the lead?" Li Xin sighed in confidence, could it be that something happened to Niu Dan? Seeing Li Xin nodding, the soldier continued:

"On the way back, the villain secretly sneaked back, and found that the forward men and horses of the great general were surrounded by no less than forty or fifty thousand people.

Li Xin only felt a bang in his head, and it was blank for a while. Even Zhang Fangyan, who had been fighting with Li Xin, couldn't care about his fighting spirit, and even suggested to him: "Without further ado, the Marquis of Zhenyu can send troops to rescue General Niu..."

Unexpectedly, the soldier who had been kneeling on the ground said: "Villain, villain, if you say something inappropriate, there are tens of thousands of thieves, even if there is no scale of 40,000 or 50,000 people, there will always be 20,000 or 30,000, but the general has less than 3,000 people, but he is only afraid of ......."

Zhang Fangyan's beard shook violently, "How?" So you let your own robe be slaughtered by thieves? ”

The reason why Li Xin sent Niu Dan as the vanguard was just to take advantage of the Dongchang Civil Rebellion to train his auxiliary soldiers and Niu Dan, who rarely led the army alone. But who knew that it was self-defeating, and it made Niu Dan deeply surrounded by thieves, and what is even more fatal is that the current enemy situation is unknown, if it is not a problem to deal with it, but if it is difficult to rescue the thousand people in the encirclement...
