Chapter 372 Shang Kexi, who was injected with chicken blood

The soldiers from Wanqiu Town to Batu Town were suppressed and beaten by the peasant army, and suffered heavy casualties. When they thought of the dead comrades and the anger they had suffered over the days, the remaining soldiers who survived were all red. Since reinforcements came and Li Zicheng's men and horses had also retreated, why were they in a hurry to escape? Taking this opportunity, they fought these bandits and avenged the blood sea. Even if they couldn't kill them, they would hold up the group of people, and when the Iron Supervisor Army arrived, these people were all lambs to be slaughtered.

Among the soldiers in the Beijing camp, there were many people with this idea, so Qiao Beiming shouted, and a group of people who were still in despair just now began to scream. They turned around and launched a counterattack on Wang Yan's troops. You know, Wang Yan had already begun to shrink in order to retreat. At this time, the soldiers in the Beijing camp suddenly turned around and counterattacked, catching the peasant army off guard for a while.

Wang Yan was stunned. Did these dying soldiers in the Beijing camp take medicine? Why did they feel like they were injected with chicken blood? Wang Yan cursed: "This group of things is about to take revenge... Brothers, withdraw... quickly..."

At this time, Wang Yan had already thrown away the so-called half hour. If he had persisted for half an hour, would he know what would happen?

Qiao Beiming really wanted to entangle Wang Yan's troops, but his troops were really tired. He just relied on morale and anger and suddenly burst into combat effectiveness, but after chasing the bandits for a while, he couldn't hold on.

Sometimes I really have to admire Wang Yan. This guy is called a gust of wind, which is definitely not a false reputation. When fighting a war, it may not be very good, but when it comes to retreating, few people are really comparable to Wang Yan. They retreated from multiple directions, followed by the palace behind them, and then they all ran away. Tie Mo and Xu Zhixin came with a large group of people, and they didn't even see the shadow of the peasant army. Qiao Beiming and others hid in Batu Town with their remaining soldiers to breathe. To them, it was like a nightmare.

Xu Zhixin felt very distressed when she looked at these Beijing soldiers. The 30,000 Beijing soldiers were fighting to the end and there were 10,000 left. If they came later, these people also told them that they were in Batu Town. After this incident, Xu Zhixin also deeply realized how big the gap between the Beijing camp and the border troops was. Tiemo had only 40,000 elite soldiers of Xuanfu, but the bandits had no power to fight back. While the 30,000 Beijing soldiers were guarding Wanqiu Town, the bandits were not afraid at all. Li Zicheng was clearly running for his life, but he dared to come over to get a bargain halfway.

The south has been peaceful for a long time, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp have not experienced war for too long. For them, fighting with bandits may not be a bad thing. The soldiers of the Beijing camp have suffered heavy casualties. Xu Zhixin saw it and felt pain in her heart. Thinking about the benefits she had found from Tie Mo before, she felt it was a bit worth it. In the distance, Tie Mo found a private house and enjoyed a moment of peace.

With a creaking sound, someone pushed open the door. Tiemo was about to take a look. At this time, someone came to disturb him, so he was naturally unhappy. He looked closely, curled his lips, and turned around and lay down, "Miss Xu, what's the matter?"

"The surname is Tie, we have to discuss something carefully. On the basis of the previous agreement, my Xu family will add 10% more!" Xu Zhixin was very serious and thought about it for a long time. In theory, the matters we had to be discussed cannot be easily changed, but after seeing the tragic situation of the soldiers in the Jingying in Batu Town, she had more ideas. If she didn't have more benefits, how to be worthy of the dead Jingying soldiers, these benefits are not for the Xu family, but for the soldiers in the Jingying. If she had more benefits, the pension subsidies for the soldiers in the Jingying would increase a lot.

Tie Mo frowned gently. He didn't feel too surprised. The casualties of the soldiers in the Beijing camp were too heavy. It is also appropriate to give the Xu family some benefits. However, there must be a limit for everything. After thinking about it, I sat up, looked at Xu Zhixin with my eyes, and said very seriously: "Miss, Tie Mo can promise you this matter, but this is the last time. You must understand that if this kind of thing changes, then our cooperation will not be able to continue."

Is Xu Zhixin the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of it? She nodded with a heavy expression, "Don't worry, just add 10%. In the future, I will never mention it again. However, those people under Qiao Beiming's command have just experienced a series of fierce battles, and I'm afraid they can't fight with the army for the time being. Next, it's all up to you to see the troops under your command."

"Well, Tie knew this. Qiao Beiming's troops could rest for two days and send a task in two days. However, the Jing camp really should have a good training. 30,000 elite Jing camps... They were defending Wanqiu Town, but they were beaten to the point of fighting back by those bandits!"

Tiemo sighed long and said this, not intentionally belittled the Jingying camp. The so-called Jingying elites have really sad combat power. If his 30,000 Yunfu elite soldiers were guarding Wanqiu Town, those bandits would have dared to rush around so blindly, they would have killed these bandits to cry and call them mothers. Not to mention the elite soldiers of Xuanfu, they would just say that Liu Ying met the Shaanxi soldiers under his command. When this situation happened, he would be better than Jingying.

The Nanjing Jingzhang is so deserted that it is just a group of bandits, after all, it is a group of mobs. If you face the Tartars in the north, it will be even more hopeless, especially the fighting power of the Tartars in the Later Jin Dynasty is far from comparable to that of bandits.

Xu Zhixin was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't know how to refute it. Can this be blamed on the soldiers of the Beijing camp? Even the Xuanfu border army, known as the leader of the nine borders, was dragged to the south for more than ten years, and its combat effectiveness would probably decline sharply. In the south, especially in Suyang, Zhejiang, these places are too nurturing, and no one can mention swordsmanship.

On the side of Batu Town, Tie Mo did not rest for too long. The next day, the Xuanfu soldiers and horses divided into two groups and pressed towards the west. On the 17th day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the vanguard of the peasant army arrived at the periphery of Lin'an. As the vanguard of the peasant army, Shang Kexi was determined to make military achievements. Seeing Geng Zhongming's position in the Xuanfu system becoming more and more stable, if he was not jealous, it would be a lie.

Shang Kexi has always been arrogant. He admitted that he was not as smart as Geng Zhongming. But if he wanted to charge and fight in the formation, he was much stronger than Geng Zhongming. He was determined to compete with Geng Zhongming, but when he came to Lin'an City, Shang Kexi learned that Gao Yingxiang's main force had withdrawn from Lin'an, and now the main army has arrived in Yu Qian.

There were less than 2,000 thieves in Lin'an City, but Shang Kexi was still not discouraged. The legs of fly were flesh and the contribution was small, but we had to talk about it first. Before the main force arrived later, Shang Kexi led his men to attack Lin'an City. Sometimes, I really have to admire Shang Kexi. This guy had been with less than 3,000 vanguard soldiers and horses, who were originally a pioneer, but he turned out to attack Lin'an City. The peasant army guarding the city was also frightened. If the main force of the officers and soldiers gathered, everyone would retreat as planned. You said that you were less than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and you were sieging Lin'an with high walls. Isn't it a bit too arrogant?

The leader of the peasant army who stayed in Lin'an City was not a good man. It was Liu Zongmin who had just withdrawn from Taojiaying Village. Liu Zongmin originally planned to do so, but Shang Kexi took such a few people to attack Lin'an City, which immediately stimulated Liu Zongmin. Although Liu Zongmin only had two thousand people under his command, and seemed to have less troops, he had Lin'an City as his support, which invisibly meant that there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

Liu Zongmin is not a soft persimmon. He observed on the city for a while, waved his right hand wrapped in white cloth, and shouted loudly: "Turn the rolling wood up to me and smash it to his mother, so that these officers and soldiers can know how powerful we are..."

Liu Zongmin has never been a good-tempered person. Since you don’t treat me as a human being, I have to teach you how to be a human being. For a moment, the wind and cranes in the east wall of Lin'an were stormed with the sound of killing. The drum oil poured out, and Shang Kexi was so angry that she was beaten up. The first round of offensive was beaten without any surprise. Shang Kexi even felt the city gate and was dismayed.

However, Liu Zongmin underestimated Shang Kexi this time. Shang Kexi was famous for being unscrupulous, not afraid of heaven or earth. As long as Shang Kexi decided to do something, he could not stop him even if the king of heaven came. Taking off his helmet, Shang Kexi spit out a mouthful of dirty water and shouted viciously: "This group of bandits really have a few tricks. Brothers, since the Battle of Tongling, we have not achieved any decent results. This time, we will take down Lin'an City no matter what. Lu Zhao will concentrate the shield soldiers, protect the city wood for me, and break the city gate as soon as possible. Concentrate all the muskets and suppress the bandits on the city. I still don't believe it. Just those bandits can stop us?"

Shang Kexi was determined to show off before the main force arrived. He would not be a human being if he didn't take down Lin'an City. Shang Kexi's spirit has infected people around him. If you want to talk about military merit, who doesn't want to take it? As Shang Kexi said, there are more than 2,000 thieves in Lin'an City now, which is a good opportunity to make contributions. Lin'an City, no matter what, it is the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. After taking it, there will be a lot of highlights on the credit book.

"General Shang, don't worry, brothers have given up today. Brothers are going to make up for this contribution!" Lu Zhao and others also shouted loudly.

For a moment, the officers and soldiers who had just retreated were screaming. Not long after, these officers and soldiers began to attack the city again. It was strange that the momentum of the attack this time was even stronger than before. On the top of the city, Liu Zongmin saw this situation and his head was a little bit tiring. Did these officers and soldiers take the wrong medicine? He just took the loss and attacked the city gate like a mad dog. Do you really think that the peasant army brothers on the top of the city were scarecrows?

"Where is tung oil...splashing...I want to see if this group of people know what fear is..." Liu Zongmin urged the guards on the top of the city to prepare tung oil and roll wood. The city guards in Lin'an City were very sufficient, and Liu Zongmin was very relieved. Several soldiers boiled the tung oil and were about to fall down. At this moment, a series of gunfires, and several peasant soldiers near the outer edge screamed and softened directly to the ground.

The leader of the team was shocked and shouted quickly: "Slowly, it's the officers and soldiers' musket team, damn... why did you forget these turtles? Archers... Archers, suppress them, drive the muskets out... We want..."

The team leader shouted halfway, then opened his mouth and was stunned. He raised his head slightly and watched something fly to the top of the city. The thing was like a big iron ball, but it was just a fireball. The fireball fell into the oil pan with a bang. The pot was filled with boiling oil, and when it hit the fire, the consequences can be imagined.

For a moment, the oil pan crackled, and the splashed tung oil fell on the peasant soldiers around him with a fire. Now in the first month of the year, everyone is still wearing thick clothes, which instantly ignits the clothes.

"Ah...ah...it's on fire, save me...mother...it's burning me to death...run...it's running..."

The peasant soldiers near the oil pan were running around crying and shouting at their parents. It was too late to hide at this time, so who had the intention to pour the tung oil down? Finally, a tung oil burst, sparks splashed everywhere, and oil and water flew around. The peasant soldiers around were caught in the seedlings, and the officers and soldiers who were siegeing under the city were also in trouble. The tung oil that exploded was filled with fire, but it was not different from the enemy.

All this fell into Liu Zongmin's eyes, and it was a numb scalp. Who was the one who led the troops to attack the city this time? This guy is a ruthless man!

The city was messy and the city gate was even more clanging. In order to protect the city bumper, all the shield soldiers were raised in front of the arrows above. In a short period of time, the peasant army had no choice but to do anything about it. Hearing the clanging sounds, he felt that the city walls were trembling.

Liu Zongmin's heart sank. After the army withdrew from Lin'an, he had no intention of defending Lin'an City to the end, so he would not strengthen the city gate, nor would he find something to weld the city gate. If the ones who really welded the city gate to death, wouldn't the ones who stayed behind the palace be in the jar? He was originally thinking about the convenience of retreat, but the fragile city gate became the biggest pain in Liu Zongmin's heart.

With this force, the city gate will fall apart within half an hour.

"Grandma, did I, Mr. Liu, meet a mad dog this time?" Liu Zongmin really couldn't figure it out. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Lin'an City was sooner or later, leaving the soldiers behind the palace, which means that if you wait a little, I'll retreat. Why are you so ignorant and have to make a tough decision?

"Captain Liu... Let's retreat. The city gate is about to fall apart. If we are entangled by these mad dogs, we will not be able to retreat even if we want to!"

At this moment, Liu Zongmin had no intention of getting angry with the other party. In order to gamble, he was really worth it. He waved his hand and looked out of the city with a hatred. He finally said angrily: "Retreat, open the West City Gate, let's go, these mad dogs are sick, aren't they?"

In Liu Zongmin's opinion, the other party was sick. He could take down Lin'an City without any effort and flew to the death. What wasn't this sick? But Liu Zongmin didn't know how much Shang Kexi's hope for military merits. For military merits, let alone two thousand people, even eight thousand people guarding Lin'an City, he would dare to try to fight. Shang Kexi believed in four words in this life, and the matter was done by others.

Liu Zongmin withdrew, and Shang Kexi finally broke the city gate and entered the city. Shang Kexi curled his lips disdainfully, "You run fast, otherwise I will have to chop you up."
