Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 318 Under the Battle of Yicheng

In the woods, Yuan Zongdi led his subordinates and walked forward in a leisurely manner. If the Gaodi behind couldn't catch up, they would deliberately slow down their pace, always leaving behind a shadow of the Qing soldiers, so that the Qing soldiers could not catch up. After chasing for a while, there is an illusion that this Ming army can be eaten up.

Gaudi was wearing heavy armor, carrying a tiger-backed sword, and was sweating through the woods. After chasing for more than half an hour, the drunkenness on his body was gone, and he gradually realized that something was strange.

When he looked down from the city, he saw that a thousand Ming troops were dispirited, scattered, lazy, and a mob of lifelike creatures, but he led two thousand elite soldiers to pursue them, but he couldn't keep up with this Ming army.

They seemed to have changed completely. They had been sluggish just now, but now they were full of vigor and vitality, moving through the woods nimbly, and they almost took him for a monkey.

At this time, Gaodi also discovered that after more than half an hour of pursuit, the Qing soldiers formed a long line in the woods, and all the weak ones fell behind. The nearly a hundred soldiers following him were also panting, obviously exhausted. light.

Gaudi held the tiger-backed broadsword, stopped in his tracks, straightened up and looked around, a cold sweat broke out on his back, this terrain, this timing, was really suitable for an ambush.

As long as the Ming army ambushes 500 troops, they can kill him by mistake. Don't worry, "Don't chase after me, stop for me~"

"Lord Chief Soldier, what's the matter?" A Chief Qian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and walked over to ask while holding his body with a knife.

Gaudi didn't answer right away, but squinted his eyes, and glanced at the surrounding woods, only to see that the woods were completely silent, not even a bird chirping, and the silence made people panic.

"Go back~" Gao Di became more vigilant in his heart, he suddenly stopped drinking, waved his hand, turned around and walked back.

"Shhhhh~"

Seeing this, all the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were startled immediately, and hurriedly turned around following Gaodi, wanting to leave the woods, but at this moment, a wave of arrows suddenly shot out from the woods.

Although most of the arrows were blocked by the trees, four or five Qing soldiers were shot to the ground.

"Kill it~ Don't leave Gaudi~"

Suddenly, a large number of Ming troops swarmed out of the woods, and Yuan Zongdi also turned back with his soldiers and horses. Although they lost their armor along the way, they still had their weapons in their hands. Their physical strength was far better than that of the Qing soldiers who had been chasing the soldiers in the woods for more than half an hour in armor.

The Ming army was full of murderous intent, and all of them seemed to have strong combat effectiveness. They rushed out from all directions, and the Qing army immediately became chaotic.

Yuan Zongdi turned around to kill, and quickly chased after Gaodi. He stabbed a spear like lightning, and the cold light flashed suddenly. Block, flustered.

It was only then that Gaodi realized that Qianhu, who seemed to have no ability before, had much higher martial arts skills than himself, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He peeked around again, the Ming army rushed into his men and horses, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing the Qing soldiers without any power to fight back.

Gao Di knew that he was really cheated, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. His 2000 troops were pulled into a long line, and it was impossible to come to support him. A Qing soldier pushed Yuan Zongdi and ran away.

Seeing this, Yuan Zongdi didn't chase him, but shot the Qing soldier who was pushed forward to death, and then roared, turned and rushed into the enemy army, like killing a god.

Wherever his spear passed, people were stabbed to death, shot flying, and tree trunks were pierced by the tip of his spear. The Qing soldiers who were hit by him were either killed or injured.Yuan Zongdi didn't chase after him, and laughed and cursed: "These turtles run faster than rabbits!" The Ming army burst into laughter when they heard the words, but they didn't rush to chase, but waited for the Qing soldiers to run away After a certain distance, he picked up his weapon and chased after him unhurriedly.

On the city wall, Wu Sanfeng saw that Gaodi had left for an hour but still didn't come back, so he became more and more worried and more sure that the Ming army was deceiving him.

He wasn't worried about Gaodi's life or death, but worried about something wrong in Yicheng, unable to fulfill Wu Sangui's entrustment. He didn't know why the Ming army was so abnormal, what kind of premeditation was there, would they sneak attack on Yicheng, he could only be more vigilant, He ordered the soldiers in the city to cheer up and defend with all their heart, but the soldiers and horses in Yicheng were all from Gaodi's tribe, so they didn't pay much attention to Wu Sanfeng's words.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the woods in the distance, followed by a large group of Qing soldiers stumbling out of the woods, and immediately ran towards Yicheng.

The first person was Gaodi, whose armor was crooked and in a terrible state of distress. Seeing this, Wu Sanfeng couldn't help frowning, thinking: "The Ming army really set up an ambush, and Gao Di, this idiot, was easily caught."

At this time, a general of the Qing army, seeing the defeated soldiers fleeing back, his face suddenly paled with shock, and he was about to go down to the city immediately to open the city gate. Seeing this, Wu Sanfeng hurriedly stopped him, "What happened today is really abnormal. , I am worried that the reinforcements from the Ming army may have arrived at Chengtian Mansion, we must be careful to prevent the Ming army from defrauding the city."

"Open the city gate~"

"Master Chief Soldier is back, why don't you open the door?"

At this time, Gaodi led the defeated soldiers and fled to the city in embarrassment, but saw that the city gate was closed tightly, and the defeated soldiers behind him roared angrily.

That Qian Zong stood at the edge of the city, looking at the defeated soldiers below, he saw Gaodi who was in front, and said to Wu Sanfeng: "Master Supervising Army, it is true that the Zong Soldier has returned."

Wu Sanfeng squinted at the defeated soldiers in the city, shook his head and said, "It's always right to be careful, don't open the door, and ask someone to come over to see if the Ming army's secret operations have been mixed in."

At this moment, from the woods in the distance, a brigade of Ming army soldiers and horses poured out again. The first person was Yuan Zongdi, and beside him, a large banner was unfurled, and a letter was written "Da Ming Jinhou, five loyals!" Military Superintendent Biao controls Yuan".

A group of Ming troops slowly came out from the woods. There were thousands of them, causing the murderous aura to spread in the air.

Gaodi glanced back, and his liver and gallbladder were torn. Seeing that the city gate had not been opened, he saw Wu Sanfeng on the city wall, and immediately cursed: "Wu Sanfeng, do you want to kill me? Zhou Dekang, don't open the door for this general." , you want to take my place?"

Mr. Qian in the city was terrified when he heard the words. He is Gaodi's brother-in-law. How could he watch Gaodi be killed by the Ming army behind him? He heard Gaodi's words and thought that Gaodi misunderstood him and Wu Sanfeng When they got together, there was a sudden fear in their hearts, so they hurried down to the city and ordered people to open the city gate.

Wu Sanfeng looked at the Ming army appearing in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He knew that his guess was right, the Ming army's reinforcements had arrived.

Zhou Dekang was about to open the door at this time, but he couldn't stop him. The city was full of Gaodi's people, and it was lucky that there were no Ming troops who appeared suddenly. Now that the Ming army appeared, it was impossible for Gaodi's subordinates to keep him out of the city.

Hearing the creaking sound of the city gate opening, Wu Sanfeng could only pray at this moment, hoping that nothing would go wrong.

All the defeated soldiers in the city swarmed into the city, Zhou Dekang stood on the edge of the doorway to greet him with a nod and bowed his head, Gao Di went up and slapped him directly in the face, and then said angrily: "Who are you? I brought you here By my side, did you and outsiders come together to harm me?"

"Brother-in-law~" Zhou Dekang's face was full of grievances, "I was also worried about the Ming army's tricks, so I was bewitched by Wu Sanfeng for a while. Don't be angry, it's important to go to the tower first."

Hearing the words, Gaodi calmed down his anger, and while following Zhou Dekang to go to the city, he cursed: "Come in quickly, and close the gate of the city quickly, so that the Ming army behind will not take the opportunity to seize the city."

Among the defeated Qing soldiers, Qin Feng had sharp eyes. He mixed with nearly a hundred Ming soldiers among the defeated soldiers.

At this time, seeing that Gaodi was about to go to the city, he immediately picked up the bow and arrow, bent the bow and shot, and the arrow rushed directly to Gaodi's back in the confusion.

This sudden change caused the Qing soldiers in the doorway to turn pale with fright. A crowd of Ming soldiers in disguise suddenly roared, drew their knives and slashed, causing chaos in the doorway.

"Gaodi is dead, the Ming army has entered the city!"

"The Qing army is defeated, run away~"

Gao Di was shot by an arrow, but he was protected by armor, and the injury was not serious. He saw the Ming army spreading rumors and shouting, and the Qing soldiers who had been defeated for a while had no fighting spirit. "Don't mess around, there are not many of them, kill them and close the city gate~"

With a sound of "咻~", before Gao Di could finish his sentence, Qin Feng in the distance bent his bow and set an arrow again, and shot straight at Gao Di's face.

Gaudí was caught off guard and hurriedly dodged, but the arrow still pierced through his left shoulder, causing him to let out a groan.

Seeing this, Zhou Dekang on the side turned pale with fright, quickly supported Gao Di, dragged him back, and snatched him out of the door opening.

At this time, the Ming army outside the city had already killed all under the city. Yuan Zongdi braved the arrows and bird guns shot from the top of the city, and led the Ming army behind him into the city.
