Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 471
It was Li Guo who replaced Wang Shixiu and came outside the city of Zhangzhou. In order not to make the Qing soldiers suspicious, the newly arrived [-] soldiers and horses and the remaining [-] superintendents went out of the camp early in the morning to practice as usual.

Of course, the four thousand Li Guo's subordinates, although they got on their horses, they couldn't run.

The Qing soldiers in the city pay attention to the changes of the Ming army outside the city every day. At this time, the Ming army's fine cavalry has been transferred, but there is no difference in number, and the distance is very far. The cavalry of the Ming army outside the city has been replaced.

Another day passed like this, and everything remained the same, without any changes, and the city continued to dry up inside and outside the city.

On the third day, Li Chengdong went on to inspect the city wall, but this time he had learned his lesson and knew that the Ming army's shells were accurate, so he didn't dare to go together in a group.

While observing the situation outside the city, he patted the soldiers on the shoulders as a sign of encouragement. The Qing soldiers who had been patted immediately puffed up their chests.

Li Chengdong had a high prestige in the Qing army. In addition to his outstanding military exploits and ability to fight, he was also kind to deployment and close to the soldiers. Therefore, in Gaojie Town, he had the loudest reputation and the strongest strength.

When he was patrolling the city, the soldiers all paid attention to him. The state of the soldiers of the Qing army still satisfied him. After patrolling the west city, he was about to move to the south city, but at this moment, he was not attacked. Suddenly, there was a burst of applause from the east city, faintly, it seemed that the Qing army was cheering, "Reinforcements are here~"

Li Chengdong was very surprised, but at this time the sound of cheers had spread from the east city to the north city, and the sound was overwhelming. "Reinforcements are coming~ It's the Eight Banners soldiers!"

Although the Ming army did not attack Zhangzhou, Zhangzhou was besieged for more than a month after all. The Qing soldiers in the city tried to break through the blockade several times, but ended in failure. Naturally, the morale of the Qing soldiers in Zhangzhou gradually declined, and they felt that the future was bleak. Seeing hope again, how can I not be excited.

At this time, Li Chengdong hurried down to the city and rode towards the east city. When he climbed the city wall, he saw a team of about 4000 cavalry from the Qing army outside the east city. One wore yellow armor and the other wore red armor. It is the flag of Zhenghuang Banner in Manzhou and Zhenghong Banner in Mongolia.

This team of cavalry rushed to the Ming camp suddenly, shouting and killing, but the Ming army relied on the long wall and fortifications, fired guns and arrows, and the cavalry did not dare to rush forward. A detour, and withdrew back.

On the city wall, Tong Yangjia, who came earlier, was overjoyed when he saw this, and Li Chengdong was also overjoyed.

"Li Duzhen, organize troops quickly, this is an excellent opportunity to cooperate with the outside and defeat the Ming army!" Tong Yangjia said happily.

At this moment, a Qing general suddenly ran over and knelt down on one knee, "Futai, Duzhen, the [-] Ming army cavalry outside the north gate have left the camp. It seems that they are coming to Dongcheng to deal with reinforcements!"

Li Chengdong glanced at the [-] Eight Banners cavalry outside the city, all of whom were extremely skilled in riding, and Wang Yan's [-] cavalry was still in Beicheng, and the Ming army had no other cavalry.

He listened to Tong Yangjia's words and the Qing general's report. There were only [-] reinforcements, while the Ming army had [-] cavalry. If the reinforcements were not received in time and the reinforcements were defeated, Zhangzhou would lose the chance it had waited so hard for.

At this time, Li Chengdong didn't have time to think about it. He immediately swung his fist and smashed it on the city wall, exuding a sense of excitement from all over his body, and shouted loudly: "Flags and drums, pass on the order of this town, gather all the troops in the headquarters, and join forces with the reinforcements!" Ming army outside the city."

In the city of Zhangzhou, the drums were beating, and the morale of the Qing army, which had been besieged for more than a month, was greatly boosted, and the shouts were overwhelming.

At the east gate of Zhangzhou, the suspension bridge was lowered, and the city gate was wide open. Li Chengdong held a Guan knife and led the horse. Behind him were a thousand cavalry and six thousand infantry. The morale was like a rainbow, like a flood breaking an embankment.

Li Chengdong spent his life this time. These are the elite soldiers of Gaojie Township. They fought against the officers and soldiers. After surrendering to the officers and soldiers, they fought against Li Chuang for nearly ten years. In the Qing Dynasty, they went all the way south to attack the city and seize land for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the [-] Ming troops who dared to come from the west gate slowly came to the east city, and confronted the [-] Eight Banners cavalry. The horses neighed, the atmosphere was tense, and the air seemed to be condensed.

When Li Chengdong's troops rushed out of Zhangzhou, the opposing cavalry also urged their horses to charge forward. Seeing this, the Qing soldiers on the city and Tong Yangjia were excited.

When Li Chengdong saw the Ming army, two thousand cavalry urged their horses to charge towards the four thousand and eight banners. He also yelled at his men to charge forward.

The two cavalry confronted fiercely, but just when they were about to collide, they pulled the reins one after another, turned the horse's head, and the two armies made a roundabout at the same time, made a big turn, and came straight towards Li Chengdong side by side.

The soldiers of the Ming army guarding the long wall and the ditch immediately moved their horses and put them on the ditch bridge, releasing a road for the cavalry to go directly to the city.

The purpose of locking the city was to trap the Qing soldiers in the city, but in order to facilitate the Ming army to take the city in the future, the Ming army would put gates and suspension bridges on the long wall, and the Qing army would close it tightly when they attacked, and release it when the Ming army attacked the city. So that soldiers, horses and equipment can pass quickly.

At this time, the Qing soldiers in the city saw this scene, and couldn't help being stunned, and there was no sound for a moment. Tong Yangjia could almost stuff a goose egg in his mouth, and his face changed wildly, "No, it's a trick! Hurry up, call Jin~"

Li Chengdong at the bottom of the city couldn't see as clearly as on the city. He suddenly heard the sound of gold in the city, and he was very puzzled. The Eight Banners soldiers who joined him inside and outside, together with the Ming army, came to kill him, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Wang Yan, Zhiniang thief, actually cheated this town like this!" Li Chengdong realized in an instant, isn't this the fucking trick of Huang Taiji Yinzu Dashou.

He was first locked up by Wang Yan and trapped in the city, and now he was tricked by false aid to lure the enemy. The most important thing is that these two tricks were almost copying Dalinghe, but Li Chengdong didn't realize that Wang Yan was putting him Playing like a fool.

Li Chengdong was furious, and quickly pulled the reins, and the horse rushed forward for more than ten steps before stopping. At this time, the Ming army cavalry rushed out from each gate, and instead of colliding head-on, they split into two groups and ran directly towards the Qing army. Going back is obviously going to cut off Li Chengdong's way back.

On the city wall, the Qing soldiers who had just returned to the mountain and the tsunami were instantly silent, and a huge sense of frustration spread across the city.

On the contrary, at this moment, in the camp of the Ming army, there was a lot of killing noises, with great arrogance, countless infantry, plus the [-] infantry brought by Li Guo, all got off their horses, grabbed their knives and guns and shouted to kill.

In the distance, the main force of the Ming army hiding several miles away also suddenly appeared, with a banner of a large flag, Wang Yan's golden lacquered mountain-patterned armor, a red cloak, and nearly 3 horses behind him, rushing towards the battlefield.

Seeing this, Tong Yangjia in the city said anxiously: "Li Yuanyin, quickly organize people to meet your father."

Although Tong Yangjia restrained Li Chengdong, he knew very well that his talent was far inferior to Li Chengdong. If Li Chengdong died, Zhangzhou would be over.
