"Before leaving Yiyang, I agreed with General Xu that the yellow flare was a warning, but it did not mean that they had completely failed. Bayi Chinese Network ?(1).
Even if the thieves invaded Yiyang City, I believe that General Xu had already prepared, and if they didn't see General Xu's red signal flare, it didn't mean that they were at the last moment. ”
Li Zixiao said indifferently, not affected by Han Tong's words at all, and had no intention of attacking.
"Han Tong, you take people to continue to explore, at this time, Li Zicheng will inevitably send the most elite troops into the city to deal with General Xu.
And before Li Zicheng is pacified in the city, he will not rashly bring people into the city, you are responsible for determining the specific location of Li Zicheng's handsome banner.
Find out the weak points of the formation of the bandits outside the city and wait for orders. Li Zixiao gave an order to Han Tong.
"Yes, General."
Although Han Tong was still very anxious, he saw that Li Zixiao had already made a decision, so he didn't say more.
"Li Tianba, you took the 'Tiger Camp' and secretly moved to the woods to the east that we saw when we came before, and waited for my order to kill immediately.
It is the closest to the west gate of Yiyang, and you can shorten the attack distance by moving there first. ”
Li Zixiao ordered at Li Tianba.
"Okay, I'll go."
"Be careful, don't show your tracks."
"The rest of the cavalry, let's stay here, keep waiting!"
After speaking, Li Zixiao stood on the high slope, picked up the clairvoyant mirror and continued to stare at Yiyang.
"Kill!"
At this time, in Yiyang City, the shouts of killing shook the sky, although the bandits were interrupted because the west city gate was blown up.
However, then the bandits stepped over, and the collapsed gate was rubble and continued to fight into the city.
Xu Wei led people to retreat into the city, he was already in the city, climbing Qingzhuang and renovating several main streets.
Based on the houses of several large families, earthen walls were built and fortresses were built, which transformed the city of Yiyang beyond recognition.
"Have the soldiers of the eastern, southern, and northern gates all withdrawn?"
"Yes, old general, all of them have withdrawn, and they will be on the other three sides according to the plan, relying on our previous arrangement, to block the attack of the bandits step by step.
In the end, all of us will retreat to the county office, which will be our last fortress. ”
The monk's face was splashed with blood, his expression was serious, and he was not angry and arrogant, like an Arhat who had subdued demons.
"Okay, delay a little longer, let more bandits kill into the city, and create opportunities for the general.
Tell all the soldiers that the last hour has come, and that they are determined to fight the enemy to the end, and if they want to survive, they must drive out the bandits. ”
Xu Wei's eyes were sharp, and he said in a resolute tone.
The young men in the city are also very aware of the ferocity of these bandits, and the bandits paid such a heavy price in order to capture Yiyang.
If it really falls into their hands, it will definitely be worse than death, and it is precisely because of this that the nearly 30,000 young people in the city are aroused to survive.
These young men were led by the soldiers of the White Dragon Army, and they fought to the death against the bandits who rushed into Yiyang City.
At this time, the muskets and artillery in the hands of the White Dragon Army were useless without ammunition, and they could only pick up knives and guns like the infantry, and fight with the bandits in close combat.
Puff puff! Dangdang!
Throughout Yiyang City, there was the sound of weapons colliding with metal, the muffled sound of knives and guns piercing human flesh and blood, and the screams of the wounded.
At this time, Li Zixiao sent almost most of his elite bandits into Yiyang City to carry out the final encirclement and suppression of Xu Wei.
He left only the bandits who had been wounded earlier, as well as the baggage battalion, and two guard battalions, less than 5,000 men, and continued to stay in the barracks outside the city.
"Haha, the overall situation has been decided, the Xuzhou army in the besieged Yiyang City is already a turtle in the urn, and it is only a matter of time before they want to be exterminated.
The military advisor watched, at most this time tomorrow, the military advisor would be able to accompany the king into the city. ”
Li Zicheng was riding on a war horse at this time, and under the protection of a battalion of bandits, he stood outside the city, looked at the bandits who flocked into Yiyang City, and said with a laugh to Niu Jinxing.
Behind Li Zicheng, two bandits held a huge banner with the word 'Chuang', which was Li Zicheng's handsome flag and represented his identity.
"Order Li Zongmin to capture that Li Zixiao alive and send it to me." Li Zicheng smiled and said to one of his own guards.
And Niu Jinxing on the side always felt that something was wrong in his heart at this time, but he couldn't say it, so he kept silent.
After all, Niu Jinxing also saw the White Dragon Army for the first time, and the White Dragon Army's strong combat power still deeply shocked him.
Niu Jinxing didn't expect that in a small Yiyang City, there were only a few thousand white dragon troops in the city, although there were still many young and strong, but those young and strong fighting ability was very poor, so there was no need to worry.
Fortunately, these young men have the leadership of the soldiers of the White Dragon Army, otherwise even if there are twice as many of these young men, Yiyang will not be able to hold on for three days.
"Then we have to congratulate King Chuang, if we can take Yiyang, and wait for General Li Guo to break through Ruzhou City, we can get enough money and food to arm more soldiers.
When the time comes, we will enter the territory of Kaifeng Mansion to the east, or continue to seek Luoyang in the north, and we will have more choices in the future.
At that time, the sea was wide and the fish jumped, the sky was high and the birds were flying, and the officials and soldiers wanted to exterminate us again, which was tantamount to a fool's dream. ”
couldn't figure out what was wrong, Niu Jinxing simply didn't want to, but smiled and complimented Li Zicheng.
Poof!
Xu Wei slashed down a bandit soldier with a knife, and in this alley seven or eight steps wide, more than 200 white dragon soldiers led thousands of young men to fight with the rushing bandits.
The gun was broken and the knife was changed, and the knife was rolled up, so it was hit with a shield, and the soldiers on both sides were already red-eyed, and they couldn't hold their hands at all.
They have only one thought at this time, to kill each other at all costs.
The battle, from Liu Zongmin leading the bandits to break through into Yiyang City at noon, lasted until the evening, when the sun was about to set.
Liu Zongmin failed to lead the bandits and completely captured Yiyang City, and Xu Wei took the last of the White Dragon soldiers and young men to retreat around the county government for the last resistance.
Outside the city, Li Zicheng had returned to his camp and was ready to rest.
He believed that as soon as he opened his eyes tomorrow morning, Liu Zongmin, who could almost be seen, captured Yiyang and tied Li Zixiao to him.
And at this time, the situation of Xu Wei in the city has indeed reached the last moment, and it is estimated that they will not last long.
"Monk, three hot air balloons have been lifted into the air, it's time to give news to the general, if we don't do it, we really won't be able to hold it."
Xu Wei's face turned pale and said to the monk.
After all, Xu Wei is an old man in his fifties, and his body can't catch up with a good boy in his twenties and thirties, and he has suffered several injuries on his body, and he has lost a lot of blood and qi.
In addition, after a day of fierce fighting, the bandits who fell under him were at least thirty or forty, which greatly consumed his physical strength, and the old injuries were also recovered, making him weak.
After the monk got Xu Wei's words, he immediately lit the three hot air balloons that had been prepared long ago and let them slowly rise into the sky, which was the way that Li Zixiao and Xu Wei agreed to deliver the message at night.
"General, you see, it's a hot air balloon, released from Yiyang City." Luo pointed to the three hot air balloons slowly rising in the sky and shouted excitedly to Li Zixiao.
"Well, that's right, it's the news of the old general Xu, most of the main force of the bandits has been attracted to the city by the old general, tonight we will go to stab Li Zicheng's chrysanthemum and sneak attack his lair."
Li Zixiao's face was gloomy, his eyes narrowed, and he flashed with amazing killing intent.
"Luo, it's time for your cavalry battalion to go into play, and at the same time order Li Tianba to kill out. Walk! ”
Li Zixiao walked down the high slope and said to Luo.
"Haha, brothers, it's time for us to play, let's go!"
Luo beckoned to all, waiting for the White Dragon Army cavalry in the mountains, to leave this mountain forest, ready to kill.
"General, you're here!"
When he was about to leave the mountains and forests, Li Zixiao saw Han Tong again, and immediately asked: "Han Tong, can you determine the specific location of Li Zicheng's handsome tent in the bandit camp?" ”
When Han Tong saw Li Zixiao leading the cavalry out, he knew that they were ready to attack, and said excitedly: "Of course, I have already observed clearly here."
In the evening, Li Zicheng led the troops back to the camp, and in the middle of the camp, the brightest camp tent was Li Zicheng's handsome tent.
On the west side was their baggage camp, where the bandits' grain and grass were piled up, guarded by heavy soldiers, and on the south was where they healed the wounded.
The closest to our north was a battalion of bandits that had been crippled during the siege two days earlier. ”
Han Tong immediately introduced to Li Zixiao in detail what he had detected during the day about Li Zicheng's camp.
"Okay, the cavalry battalion will be divided into three, Han Tong will lead one, Luo will lead one, and I will lead one, and insert them into the camp of the bandits from three directions.
Remember that the degree must be fast, after entering the camp of the chaotic army, Han Tong and I will lead the men and horses, do not reduce, and use the fastest degree to chisel through the enemy's camp.
And Luo, the people you lead, you have only one goal, and that is Li Zicheng's handsome account.
However, remember, even if you kill Li Zicheng's handsome tent, don't kill him, let alone capture him, let him go, but take his handsome banner. ”
"My subordinates understand." Han Tong and Luo answered together.
"Okay, get on the horse, get out, notify the Tianba them, they can also attack, kill!"
Li Zixiao used the moonlight, rode the war horse, and said.
"Follow the general to kill the thief, kill!"
Thundered!
More than 1,300 cavalry of the White Dragon Army, under the leadership of Li Zixiao, Luo and Han Tong, with the help of the moonlight, did not even dare to hit the torches, so they came out of the mountains and forests in the north and directly killed Li Zicheng's camp.
"Haha! The generals have killed them, let's go up too, rush! ”
Li Tianba, who was in the mountains and forests on the other side, also received the news and knew that Li Zixiao had led people to attack, and he was also excited to shout loudly to his subordinate tiger warriors.
Thundered!
The three cavalry battalions did not have torches, fortunately tonight's was also very bright, Li Zixiao rode on the war horse, followed closely by Quartz, and quickly killed the outside of the bandit camp with the cavalry.
"Sneak attack ...... by the officers and soldiers"
Burst!
One of the bandits also felt the tremor of the earth and looked into the distance, but unfortunately saw nothing.
Because Li Zicheng didn't expect that under the pressure of his army, Li Zixiao would dare to sneak attack them.
And at this time, Yiyang City was breached, and he thought that Li Zixiao was in Yiyang City, so he had nothing to do with this night attack.
And when he saw the figure rushing in the distance, he also saw a cold light flash, and his head flew up.
"Kill!"
The cavalry of the White Dragon Army formed a dense charging formation, crashed into the camp of the bandits, slashed and killed the bandits patrolling outside, and killed the inside of the barracks.
Ahhh Puff puff!
The screams soon rang out, and as the three White Dragon Army cavalry entered the camp of the bandits, they cut off people when they saw them, and their heads flew up, knocking over the braziers and setting the tents on fire.
Some of the bandits who were still sleeping in the tent were immediately hit by the seedlings, engulfed in the fire, and turned into fire men who were struggling to the death.
And some of them reacted quickly, and when they heard the shouts and screams, they hurriedly ran out of the tent through the armor, and ran into the cavalry that Li Zixiao rushed to kill.
Either the bones and tendons were broken, or they were cut down with a knife, and the head flew up, and the entire base camp of Li Zicheng's army fell into chaos, and the chaos was still spreading.
Li Zixiao, Luo and Han Tong, the three White Dragon Army cavalry led by the three of them are like three knives inserted into the cake, like a bamboo, and no one can stop them.
And Li Tianba, who followed them closely, also immediately led half of the 'Tiger Battalion', six hundred tiger wolf elites, and slaughtered them with a roar.
Those who were lucky enough to escape the slashing of Li Zixiao's cavalry, after all, Li Zixiao asked the cavalry to cut through the enemy's camp as quickly as possible, rather than focusing on killing.
They galloped past on horseback, and many bandits would have escaped by chance, but they immediately encountered the more terrible Li Tianba.
Li Tianba wielded a pair of big copper hammers, and when he swung and smashed down, no one could resist his hammer, and the white dragon soldiers lit fires everywhere, and soon Li Zicheng's camp began to burst into flames.
"Keep rushing, don't stop."
Li Zixiao rode on his war horse and shouted loudly.
And Luo obeyed Li Zixiao's order, identified the brightest lit military tent in the center of the camp, and led the White Dragon Army cavalry officers behind him to rush over.
"What's going on? Where did the enemy come from? ”
At this time, Li Zicheng, who was in the marshal tent in the center of the camp, also heard the shouting and killing outside, and after leaving the marshal tent, he also saw a fire burning in the camp tent in the north, and there was chaos everywhere.
"King Chuang, it's officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are attacking the camp." A bandit leader ran over and said to Li Zicheng.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and lead someone to stop the cavalry of the official army!" Li Zicheng also roared angrily.
"Li Zicheng, prepare to die!"
Soon, the cavalry team led by Luo, who rushed to kill the fastest, had already rushed to the camp of the thieves and approached Li Zicheng's handsome tent.
Even, at this time, Luo was far away, and with the help of the firelight, he saw a figure rushing out of the handsome tent.
Luo guessed that most of the people were Li Zicheng, so he roared angrily and continued to rush over with the cavalry.
At this time, many bandits in the vicinity had already reacted, grabbed their knives and guns, and rushed towards them, trying to stop them.
"Quick, quick, stop them, don't let them come near here."
Li Zicheng was also frightened when he saw Luo So's cavalry rushing over in the distance, and immediately shouted at the loyal bandits around him.
