Lin Chunhong's idea of ​​Zuo Liangyu picking peaches was as clear as watching the fire. After all, after the Battle of Xiuwu, Lin Chunhong ordered Sheng Kunshan to follow Li Zicheng into Shanxi to investigate military information. As the information was continuously transmitted back, he knew Li Zicheng's plight clearly.

Therefore, when Zuo Liangyu ordered Lin Chunhong to besiege Liaozhou with his general Luo Dai, Lin Chunhong happily responded.

"Anyway, it's time to pick peaches, so I can't say I have to get a share of it. This battle is worth it!"

Lin Chunhong, who bowed to accept the order, thought secretly.

Immediately, Lin Chunhong returned to Zezhou and ordered Wei Yuexiang and Cheng Shu to escort food and grass to protect the food road. He personally led the Hu Xiaoying and Tianwuying to attack Liaozhou.

At this time, the battle in Liaozhou was very fierce!

You Shiluye has blocked the south gate, west gate and north gate of Liaozhou tightly, leaving only the east gate. The east gate leads to the depths of Taihang Mountain. After crossing Taihang Mountain, he arrives at Shunde Prefecture, where Deng Yan's heavy troops are stationed. You Shilu hopes to drive Li Zicheng out of the east gate and chase him to do his best.

The southern gate of Liaozhou is adjacent to the Qingzhang River. If it were summer and autumn, You Shilu would not think that Li Zicheng would be stupid enough to break through the South Gate. Facing the heavy army, he crossed the river in a hurry. There was no other possibility except for the entire army being wiped out. But now it is cold and the Qingzhang River is as cold as iron, and bandits can easily cross Henan and go south.

Hearing that Zuo Liangyu's troops headed north, You Shilu, who had insufficient troops, removed the troops from the south and focused on besieging the West Gate and the North Gate.

Of course, You Shilu wanted to attack Liaozhou City and smash Li Zicheng into pieces, but Liaozhou City was so easy to break? He had no experience in defending the city, but You Shilu had no siege equipment at hand. For a moment, he had to stare at Liaozhou and stare at him, and could not break in. More importantly, he had to guard against Li Zicheng's two or three thousand elite cavalry that broke out outside the city and launched a sudden attack on him, which made You Shilu's subordinates exhausted.

"Crack...bang..." There were bursts of firecrackers coming from the city, reminding You Shilu that New Year's Eve is here!

The sound of firecrackers was like a slap on You Shilu: the bandits in the city didn't take You Shilu's heavy troops seriously at all. You Shilu was both angry and incredible about this, and in the end he could only explain all this by beggars being happy during the New Year.

Indeed, the short-sighted bandit is happy!

Liaozhou City left beautiful memories for Li Zicheng's subordinates. In this half month, they had enough fun of burning and killing Yin, plundering countless money and grain, and put the elite soldiers under their command to the next level. The happy generals couldn't help but hug them left and right, set up firecrackers in the city to celebrate the New Year, looking forward to breaking more cities and enjoying more women in the coming year.

But the thief leader Li Zicheng was not in such a good mood. Li Zicheng knew You Shilu's military deployment very well and made the worst plan: abandoning refugees and military capital, and leading the elite cavalry to break through. Li Zicheng did not think that You Shilu had the ability to trap the elite cavalry. As long as he retained the elite, the refugees could instantly gather tens of thousands of dollars. It doesn't matter if the military capital is not. With a team, are you afraid that you can't grab things?

But You Shilu took the initiative to let go of the south gate, which made him puzzled. Things are abnormal and there will be monsters!

"Report... Luo Dai, the general of Zuo Liangyu, cooperated with the Jingzhou army and led more than 6,000 people to Liaozhou, and had arrived in Mofang!"

Li Zicheng, who was gathering to discuss matters, said intimately: No wonder he had to let go of the south gate, it turned out that You Shilu had reinforcements.

The generals looked at each other and were curious about Lin Chunhong. Who is this guy? He actually violated the usual tradition of the government army and came here to join in the fun? Didn’t the government army always just sweep the snow in front of their own door?

Gao Jie was very excited and looked eagerly at Li Zicheng. He had long dreamed that Li Zicheng could concentrate his troops to eat Lin Chunhong and repay the revenge of the last war.

Li Zicheng looked at Gao Jie and said slowly: "The officers and soldiers are constantly increasing their troops. We have no chance of winning, we can only leave Liaozhou!"

The generals nodded one after another. After years of fighting, they were quite sensitive to the coming danger!

This winter is really cold, dripping water turns into ice!

Luo Dai's soldiers came from the north and covered himself tightly, almost covering his eyes. He was so cautious and cautious that he was ridiculed by the soldiers of Jingzhou. The soldiers laughed and said, "Nainai, there are elite soldiers, why are they fighting so afraid of the cold?"

Indeed, the winter in Jingzhou is wet and cold, and the cold wind blows, penetrates into the bones and is unbearable. Countless people have frostbite in winter. Although the temperature in Shanxi is extremely low, the air is dry and there is no bone-bone feeling in the south at all, but the skin exposed in the cold wind is very easy to be frostbite.

Lin Chunhong, who was well aware of this, ordered the soldiers to cover up the exposed areas and not to be careless at all. The soldiers gave up their ridicule of Luo Dai's army and followed the execution one after another. Lin Guerrilla was an idol, so what he said was correct and no one dared to disobey them.

Fortunately, before heading north, Lin Chunhong had already prepared to prevent cold in winter, and various cotton jackets and winter boots were very well prepared.

More than twenty miles away from Liaozhou, Lin Chunhong was surprised and wondering: Could it be that You Shilu had already attacked Liaozhou?

The soldiers kept walking, their eyes staring towards Liaozhou, confused by the smoke screens all over the sky.

After a moment, a rider rushed towards him, and from a distance, he shouted: "Report..."

With more than fifty steps left, the knight flew off his horse, rolled and crawled over, and said, "The thieves in Liaozhou set fire to the city and broke through everywhere!"

Lin Chunhong sighed in his heart: Li Zicheng saw that the opportunity was fast, and he couldn't trap him this time! He took a deep breath and waved his sword and said, "Keep the essence and speed up!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers accelerated their pace. As the distance got closer, the rumbling sound of cannons kept coming, and the shouts of killing could be heard vaguely...

"Report... General Luo Shen has engaged in the battle with the bandits and ordered the general to attack the bandits from Xizhai Village quickly..."

Lin Chunhong asked without any expression, "Who is the thief leader? How many people are there?"

"The thief head is full of stars, with a lot of people, about seven thousand!"

Lin Chunhong heard that he did not take the number seven thousand seriously at all. By thinking about the battle of Xiuwu, he knew how many elite soldiers were in the transformed militia army.

"Attack array, head to Xizhai!"

The soldiers quickly changed from a marching array to an attack array, forming a torrent, rolling forward like a giant dragon, pounced on the tragic battlefield.

Zhou Qing was a native of Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province. He once made a living by slaughtering iron. Mars was full of space and was called Mantianxing by everyone. This guy started to occupy the mountain as king in the first year of Chongzhen, and his qualifications were older than Li Zicheng. He surrendered to Yang He, but soon rebelled again. Since Wang Jiayin's death, he has followed Wang Ziyong. Later, he was chased by Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao, and he was unable to gain a foothold in Shaanxi and wandered to Shanxi. At the end of last year, he was wandering around Yangcheng with the Eight King Kong. He heard that Li Zicheng bit off the fat piece of Liaozhou and went to Liaozhou to get a piece of pie.

Of course, Li Zicheng's general did not like these two guys who were eating for free. His words were ridiculed and contempt, which made Ba Jingang and Man Tianxing extremely depressed. When we planned to break through, Ba Jingang and Man Tianxing said that they were unwilling to act with Li Zicheng. As the two of them planned to join, Ba Jingang entered the Taihang Mountains eastward, and Man Tianxing went south to Yangcheng. Their abacus was jingling: You, Li Zicheng, are strong, and the main force of the officers and soldiers are likely to bite you. We will only be chased by you, and maybe Xiangnan and Xiangdong will have greater vitality!

Unexpectedly, the two of them made Li Zicheng very happy. Li Zicheng just needed them to attract the forces of officers and soldiers so that they could break north calmly! The three of them hit it off, and Li Zicheng generously gave them some food and military supplies.

The starry sky brought the military funds that could be moved away, and a torch burned the excess grains cleanly. Li Zicheng and Ba Jingang were naturally unwilling to fall behind, and the range of setting fires spread to the entire city. Of course, food and winter houses cannot be left to the officers and soldiers. As for the people, does the bandits have the word "people" in their minds?

Mantianxing led his seven or eight thousand men out of the south gate, crossed the Qingzhang River, and had not seen even a figure along the way. Just as he was thinking that he was very proud, he met Luo Dai. He took advantage of Luo Dai's foothold and attacked with all his strength, hoping to eat the two thousand people.

The star-stirring fist almost knocked Luo Dai's soldiers and horses to the point of being dizzy. Finally, he calmed down and sent a messenger to order Lin Chunhong to come quickly to help.

The north wind is cold and the clouds are like lead!

Near Xizhai, it has become a Shura field, where tens of thousands of spiritual spirits abandon human wisdom and bite each other!

However, the claws evolved into sharp swords, and the teeth evolved into flying bows and arrows. As for what evolved into cannons, no one knew, and no one had time to consider these issues!

In this narrow valley, everyone forgets that they are husbands, that they are adoptive fathers, that they forget that they are sons... They even forget that they are human beings. They only know that they can mechanically stab the spear in their hands and shoot the bows and arrows in their hands.

They were already numb, their partners fell, their anger was no longer there; the enemy fell, their joy was gone!

They only know how to dodge according to their habits and reap their lives according to their habits!

Therefore, well-trained and closely-matched killing machines are significantly more efficient than those of the trolls.

But Luo Dai only had two thousand people on hand, surrounded by five or six thousand people and was bitten by them, and he could not say anything about his suffering. Such a chaotic war is the war that the bandits are good at!

"Kill the official army..."

The people who have no choice but to retreat and cannot advance are like tigers, and they all look dead as if they are home. Even though their weapons are not sharp, even if they are only wrapped in a torn cotton jacket, even if their cooperation is not tacit, their blood-red eyes reveal their hatred for the official army. Even if they are seriously injured, they have to use their spare power to pull an officer and soldier to shore up!

Who would have thought that the government army and the rebels who had been numb for a long time would have thought that both sides were poor farmers!

The official army could not withstand the pressure and was retreating step by step. Luo Dai rode on the jujube horse and kept looking towards the Xizhai, cursing constantly: "The nainai is even a turtle, and it should have crawled!"

No wonder Luo Dai was anxious. There were more than a thousand elite soldiers gathered around Mantianxing, who were responsible for the dual functions of the supervision team and the reserve team. If Mantianxing took advantage of his efforts and attacked Luo Dai with all his might, the official army would be defeated and poured into a thousand miles!

Luo Dai was anxious. The stars in the sky were not much better. He couldn't take Luo Dai for a long time. This was not a good sign. He knew that the officers and soldiers still had thousands of reinforcements nearby! In order to prevent the reinforcements from rushing out suddenly, he kept placing the elite around him.

Whatever I was worried about came, a thud of drums came, and a group of armies finally emerged from the hills to the west!

The first thunderous cry broke out in Luo Dai's army: "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!" The soldiers' morale surged, stopped their retreating pace, and desperately greeted the swords, guns and bows and arrows in their hands to the rioters.

The horses kept reporting the battle situation to Lin Chunhong. Considering that the attacking team of Mantianxing was not in a row, Lin Chunhong planned to let Shengkunshan's cavalry camp attack from the side and back to turn into a civilian, and he personally led the two battalions to fight against the elite camp of Mantianxing.

If you directly support Luo Dai, you will not be able to solve the battle for the moment. Mantianxing leads elite troops to enter, and all teams may fall into chaos. Even if you can win, it will leave Mantianxing the opportunity to retreat calmly!

So, just after crossing the hill, Lin Chunhong held a knife in one hand, pointed at the Shura Field, shouting loudly: "Captain Camp rushed to the front side and supported General Luo Shen!"

"promise!"

"Swish...", a loud metal friction sound suddenly sounded, Sheng Kunshan pulled out his saber and shouted: "Captain Camp, attack!"

The sound of iron hoofs slowly rang, slowly forming a regular tap sound, the rhythm became faster and faster, gradually becoming a speeding speed, rushing towards the rebels’ backs!

The knights slowly opened the distance, held crossbows in their hands, and their eyes as if they were like copper bells staring at the enemy in front of them.

"Swish...swish..."

More than 150 steps apart, the knights pulled the crossbow machine, and the deadly crossbows shot at the rioters who had not yet been criticized for their armor!

When rushing to the formation, a crossbow was about to come. The knights hung the crossbow behind them, pulled out their sabers, held them high in their hands, and rushed towards the rioters who were trying to turn around to fight.

The low-level leaders among the rioters had long been aware of the coming threat. After a burst of angrily scolding and shouting, they finally formed a simple gun array to try to resist the cavalry. However, the speeding crossbow arrows destroyed the not-so-deep gun array, leaving a large number of gaps and leaving a terrified rioters.

For infantry, everyone understands what gaps and chaos mean!

Before the rioters could react, a group of steel monsters with sword armor rushed into the battle formation. They were not nostalgic for the prey around them. They only knew to rush forward and they wanted to rush the rioters through!

The low-level leader among the rioters was furious and held an iron spear to face Sheng Kunshan, which was leading the way.

The army was born in Sheng Kunshan and fought countless times with the Mongolians and Jurchens. Where did they take these chaotic people seriously? Seeing the iron spear coming towards him, he waved his sabre and slashed at the spear!

Sheng Kunshan was quite confident about the sharpness of the sabre. Sure enough, with a clang, the spearhead flew out of nowhere. Sheng Kunshan ignored the leader and took the sabre to the next rioter, cut off the sabre's throat, and blood splattered, and fell to the ground and died.

The low-level leader was slightly stunned. The rider's saber behind him took his chest and easily cut his leather armor, leaving a wound on his chest. The severe pain came, and the power in his body disappeared in an instant. The leader rushed to the ground, and blood flowed into this disaster-stricken land!

In a moment, the Cavalry Camp rushed the rioters against each other. The rioters who were already panicked became even more chaotic, which reduced Luo Dai's pressure and kept dispatching troops and cooperating with the cavalry's rushing formation.

At the same time, Lin Chunhong was not idle either, and the stars in the sky were not spectators. As soon as Lin Chunhong showed up, he sent more than 300 cavalrymen to disturb the chariot camp in an attempt to interfere with Lin Chunhong's attack.

According to daily training, the Jingzhou soldiers had shield chariots in front, and the infantry took them behind them, slowly pressing towards the stars. The cavalry tried to approach the military formation with an extremely powerful aura, but at 180 steps, they were hit by crossbow arrows, and left more than a dozen corpses and rushed to the side!

For the invasion camp in the array, the cavalry had very little chance of winning, not to mention that there were only more than 300 cavalrymen!

Besides, the distance of 180 steps made Mantianxing feel heartbroken, and this distance was beyond his cognitive range!

The officers and soldiers cannot be allowed to fire crossbow arrows calmly, and no one can stand the situation of being beaten and not fighting back.

The stars in the sky roared: "Crash, kill all the officials!" The elite troops under his command had been raising their sharp weapons for a long time, and they poured into Jingzhou like a flood in the Yangtze River.

Seeing that Man Tianxing couldn't bear it and took the lead in attacking, Lin Chunhong couldn't help but smile. Nainai, come on, I like the brave men who are brave enough to move forward!

"Constructing the defense!"

The Jingzhou soldiers instantly curled themselves into hedgehogs, which did not affect the enthusiasm of the civilians to attack. This battle was related to whether they could break through, and they sacrificed their lives and fought hard to attack.
To be continued...
