The battle had been going on all night, the ammunition for the 800 infantry battle had been exhausted, and Heisenberg's artillery had long since been muted. In the face of the next wave of thieves attacking, there is only one path left for them to choose, and that is to fight to the death!

Niu Jinsong's gaze swept over the faces full of determination one by one, and occasionally even a few faces were full of immaturity. He shook his throat, and was about to say something at this last moment, when he suddenly heard the sound of killing in the distance. His heart sank suddenly, but he was also completely relaxed, he had waited for this moment all night, and now he finally had to face it calmly!

"General! I'm waiting for you to avenge your brothers! ”

They stayed by the Grand Canal for the rest of the night, allowing the fleeing civilians to escape and the general to prepare for the swift blow. It's just that Niu Jinsong regretfully thought, at this moment, I'm afraid that they will be difficult to see again!

"General! It doesn't seem like we're the target of the thieves! ”

The left wing of the thieves really fell into a commotion, Niu Jinsong was surprised, but after a while, he laughed loudly.

"Brothers, reinforcements have arrived!"

He Yilong was furious, and the Ming Dynasty's official army attacked his left flank at the most critical moment, causing him to completely annihilate the small group of official troops on the canal and surrender his main general. The left flank of the department is facing the north, and from the north are the officers and troops who are coming south from the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi?

"Big leader, looking at the banner, it seems to be Yang Sichang's vanguard army!"

He Yilong gasped, how did he come to Yang Sichang? Isn't this guy in Kaifeng and Li Zicheng in a stalemate? How did you come here again? Of course, he didn't believe the reports of his subordinates, and he went into battle to check it in person, but saw that the banner erected by Yang Sichang's department in the army was indeed erected, but it was obvious that the other party's men and horses were not very many, and it was not enough to break through his left flank, as long as he was relieved of the shock of being raided, it was not a problem to annihilate this official army!

He Yilong immediately decided to fight on two fronts, striving to take down the officers and troops by the canal in one go! But at this critical moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Smoke, smoke!" He Yilong just wanted to scold, but he followed the frightened gaze of his subordinates and looked south, and suddenly found that an obvious pillar of smoke rose in the southern sky.

In this clear sky and clear blue situation, the distant pillar of smoke is extremely dazzling. He Yilong only felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest, as if he had been hit hard by a thousand heavy hammers, because the direction in which the pillar of smoke rose was the direction of Yan Temple, where the entire army was hoarding grain and grass! Could it be that the Ming army burned his grain and grass?

Once this thought jumped out, it was like a broken embankment, quickly filling He Yilong's head! The original confidence and calmness are also like the collapse of the long mention, and the distraught and inexplicable anger swelled up.

"Big Boss! The officers and soldiers by the canal rushed up, and it seemed that they were going to fight us hand-to-hand...... Are we still catching them alive? ”

"Kill! Kill not a single one! ”

He Yilong's voice was so cold that it could condense into ice!

Li Xin led his troops to burn He Yilong's grain and grass almost without bloodshed, and hurried all the way to the north, Yan Temple was only more than ten miles away from Zhu Zaozhuang, and coupled with a flat river along the canal, it didn't take half an hour to see a group of thieves like clouds and locusts, gathered on the side of the canal.

At the same time, Li Xin also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the cow egg miraculously lasted all night! But seeing that the thieves' outer positions were solid and calm, and they didn't look like they had been attacked at all, a doubt also rose in his heart, that is, where did Gu Shishi and the more than 1,000 reinforcements he sent before?

At this moment, Li Xin suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing from the direction of the thief, and the scout flew to report: "The left flank of the thief has been attacked by our Ming army!" ”

Li Xintou knew that this should be the army led by Gu Shishi, but then the scout said: "That Ming army is fighting under the old banner of Yang Ge!" ”

"Which Yang Ge is old?" Li Xin subconsciously asked casually.

"Which one else could it be? Naturally, he is the elder of the pavilion to supervise the elder Yang of several provinces in Henan! ”

Li Xin's brows jumped suddenly, how could Yang Sichang's hand have reached Shandong? This was followed by a period of relaxation, if Yang Sichang's men and horses have arrived in Shandong, it is enough to show that the chaos in Henan has reached the final stage, and the extinguishment of the thieves may be just around the corner, although he does not like to see Yang Sichang such a narrow-minded person succeed, but he is happy to see the court calm down the civil strife, so that he can free up his hands to deal with the border trouble wholeheartedly.

"Can you find out who the other party's master is, how many people are there?"

"What is the word on the flag, the situation is only about 2,000!"

Li Xinben's already soothing eyebrows wrinkled again, if there were only about two thousand, I was afraid that it was a partial division of Yang Sichang! In the current situation, it is difficult to find more help! But in any case, Li Xin immediately sent someone to contact the opposing general, and tried to cooperate closely with the two sides.

In fact, by now, Li Xin had fallen into an embarrassing situation, Gu Shishi and the main force of the soldiers did not know where to go, there were only a hundred people around him, rushing up like this, it was tantamount to a moth to a fire, but if he sat back and ignored it, how could he be willing to endure watching his robe fight and die?

So, Li Xin decided to repeat the old trick again, creating the illusion of a large-scale attack by the Ming cavalry, in order to intimidate the thieves, and cooperate with the battle between Niu Dan and Yang Sichang's forward!

"Big Boss! Oh no! In the south, the dust in the south covers the sun, as if it is coming, and countless officers and cavalry have come! ”

He Yilong has already gotten rid of anger after receiving the revenge, and what occupies his head is already a deep fear! With the burning of the grain and grass in Yan Temple, it was logical for the official cavalry to come. At this moment, he has already had the idea of retreating, facing the enemy on three sides, and the shape is already very unfavorable to the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution! Although there are not many two-faced officers and soldiers, their combat strength is quite broken, if ...... He could no longer sit still......

"Withdraw! Remove! shrink the people and horses, and they all withdraw with Lao Tzu! Head west to Guanxian to meet! ”

He Yilong explained this sentence, just because the thieves were in the form of birds and beasts when they retreated, and the soldiers and generals were separated, and then after they broke away from the pursuit of the official army, they gathered the rout and regrouped. This time, he hit the idea again! It's just that although doing so will avoid being completely annihilated by the official army, the consequences are also extremely severe, and the morale accumulated before will be difficult to recover in a short period of time, in other words, it will be difficult to fight a tough battle in a short time.

But even so, it's much better than being wiped out by the official army, right? Although they may not lose a desperate battle, He Yilong doesn't want to gamble with his life, the reason why they have been able to survive in the encirclement and suppression of the official army for more than ten years until now is because of this ability to escape!

As soon as the order to retreat was given, the thieves who had maintained a relative advantage on the battlefield were scattered in an instant! Although He Yilong was unwilling, he had developed the ability to calmly deal with victory and defeat after many years of running career, and he was not ashamed to escape from his life, and only wanted to retreat with his whole body.

As a result, under the leadership of the big leader, tens of thousands of troops collapsed and fled in all directions. This stunned Li Xin in the distance, so much so that he didn't even figure out what was going on on the battlefield at that moment? But the rout of the thieves was really in front of him, Li Xin immediately made a decision, and more than 100 cavalry immediately rushed to kill in order to meet the Niu Dan Division!

The Three Guards have always won more with less, but they have never seen the precedent of tens of thousands of troops being frightened away by a few suspicious soldiers.

Not only Li Xin, but even Niu Jinsong was full of doubts, he was obviously ready to fight to the death, but the thieves broke up so inexplicably! The thieves who shouted and shouted to kill one moment later scattered as birds and beasts!

Of course, Niu Jinsong did not intend to give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and also ordered the tail to pursue, in order to kill and injure the thieves and rout the army. Finally made peace with Li Xin's cavalry in the battle array, and seeing the general in the battle array, Niu Jinsong was so excited that he cried out loud and burst into tears.

Li Xin comforted a few words with kind words, and immediately said that the thieves were afraid to gather again, and they must be pursued and completely dispersed! After the combined forces, Li Xin already had more than 1,000 people under his command, and he had the confidence to fight a war, leaving Heisenberg's artillery stationed along the coast, and the soldiers took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill in the west.

He Yilong was extremely skillful and prepared to go all the way to the west with his cronies, seeing that the army was reduced to pieces in an instant, he sighed in his heart, and sighed, this time it was considered to have robbed He Jindu of the credit and limelight!

At this time, a ministry reported: "Big leader, it seems that the suspicious soldiers from the south are the official army, just after the brothers broke up, they found that they only had more than 100 horsemen rushing in, and there was not a single soldier in addition, and there were not many miles of Yang Sichang's people!" ”

Of course He Yilong didn't believe it, but just now he only cared about fleeing for his life, neglecting to find out how many Ming cavalry had entered the battlefield.

For a while, He Yilong was dumbfounded and regretted it!

Li Xin led Niu Jinsong and others, with only more than 1,000 people, chased tens of thousands of thieves and routed their troops, and went west for more than 20 miles, until they were unable to stop in Guanxian County, and gathered men and horses to prepare to return to Dongchang Mansion.

But suddenly I saw that a Ming army in the direction of Guanxian slowly retreated, and it was the Yang Sichang vanguard who had attacked He Yilong's thieves with him before.

After seeing the other party's main general, Li Xin couldn't help laughing, the armor of the person on the horse didn't fit well, and he had a strange posture of fidgeting. At this time, he obviously had learned Li Xin's identity, and after meeting, it was inconvenient to dismount and give a salute.

"He Tengjiao, the magistrate of Xiaguanyang Valley, has seen the Marquis of Zhenyu!"

Yanggu Zhixian? How to take a vote of people, and how to go north, as if he was not able to take the initiative to attack the thieves? He Tengjiao? Li Xin suddenly felt that this name seemed to have been heard somewhere.

"The Marquis of Zhenyu must want to ask the magistrate of Guanyang Valley how to lead the troops here...... but Li Xin interrupted him and asked:

"But He Tengjiao from Liping Mansion in Guizhou?"
