The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 295
Lin Yifan was overjoyed to get Ye Hongyu's support, and immediately held a military meeting, and publicly appointed Ye Hongyu as a military staff officer, responsible for participating in military affairs.

Afterwards, Lin Yifan informed everyone about the content of his conversation with Cao Ziyan, and introduced the army's action plan.

Ye Hongyu was drenched in cold sweat on the spot. He didn't expect that Mr. Lin had secretly planned a conspiracy against Li Yuan.If he was still working for the Li family, he would not have been prepared for Lin Yifan's turnaround.This move is really vicious. If it succeeds, the Li family will definitely be hurt and suffer heavy losses.

However, at this time, he has already taken refuge in Hengshan, and his lord trusts him so much, even telling such a top-secret matter to his face, it is impossible not to be moved.Now that another Ming Lord has been chosen, it can only be a matter of loyalty to the emperor.

After Lin Yifan finished speaking, he looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Ye Hongyu, "Mr. Ye, do you have any questions or suggestions about this plan?"

Ye Hongyu collected himself, looked up at Lin Yifan, saw the look of encouragement in his eyes, and immediately understood what he meant. This was to show his talents in front of everyone and gain the approval of the generals. "My lord, I do have some doubts, and I want to ask my lord for advice."

Therefore, Ye Hongyu discussed his doubts and suggestions with everyone, and gradually improved Lin Yifan's plan.During this meeting, everyone gradually discovered his ability and gradually recognized him.

Because of Ye Hongyu's "defection", the Li family's army was very hostile to the Hengshan army. For several days in a row, the two armies did not communicate with each other and regarded them as enemies.At this time, the Hengshan Army also deliberately moved their camp to the north, so as not to see Li Jiajun.

That night, the cold wind was howling, the clouds were dense, the entire county was pitch black, and the atmosphere in the city was strange. Countless soldiers gathered at the south gate of the city, with swords and guns like forests, faintly shining cold light in the night.Everyone's eyes were solemn, with a taste of resolute death.In the few days before this, they already knew about this plan. The generals told them that tonight, the whole army will break through and defeat tens of thousands of enemy troops in the south in one fell swoop, and then run south with all their strength. How many can they run? .Before that, they had distributed all the remaining food and grass to each soldier, which was only enough for eight days, which meant that everyone had only eight days to escape from Anzhou. Starved to death in Anju.

The soldiers at the south gate had no way to escape at this moment. They had to break through the enemy's obstruction with all their strength before they could escape. This battle must be fought to the end.The newly promoted generals were very excited. They were originally low-level officers in the army. In the past few days, they were abruptly promoted to middle-level generals by the generals. open circuit.Although this battle is very dangerous, it is also very difficult.But this is undoubtedly a field of meritorious service. As long as he can lead the army out of the encirclement, he may not be able to increase his ranks and climb to high positions in the future.Among the people present, there were not many people who were not ambitious. They fought hard for this big gamble.

"Open the city gate! Go!" With a loud shout, as the gate slammed open, countless crowds rushed out of the city in an instant.

"Kill!" Countless shouts sounded, and the imperial army who had no way out frantically rushed to the [-] troops deployed by the Li family army at the south gate.

"Enemy attack! Counterattack, counterattack!" There was chaos in the Li family's barracks, countless soldiers got up from the tents in confusion, and staggered towards the barracks under the urging of their superiors.

"Archers, shoot, shoot them to death!" The sparse rain of arrows fell into the enemy group, completely unable to stop the momentum of the imperial army's charge.

In an instant, the imperial army rushed to the bottom of the fence, desperately cutting down the wooden piles with knives.Some even put kerosene on the wooden fence, trying to set fire to the fence.

"Block them and protect the fence!" Spears protruded from the gaps in the fence and pierced fiercely into the opponent's body.

As Li Jiajun reacted, more and more people arrived.The imperial army's offensive immediately slowed down, and the two sides fought fiercely outside the fence.

But at this time in the city, there are still some soldiers and horses that have not yet been activated.Cao Ziyan and a group of generals all gathered here, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command are also well-equipped and well-trained elite soldiers.After hearing the shouts of killing from the south gate, following Cao Ziyan's order, the tens of thousands of troops immediately turned around and went out towards the west gate. When Li's army's [-] soldiers were paying attention to the south gate, they rushed into the barracks in one fell swoop.

"Kill, kill and go in!" Cao Ziyan looked towards the direction of the north gate with a serious face, then turned his head and shouted, "Don't love to fight, after defeating the enemy army, the whole army immediately retreats to the west!"

With the generals' personal guards, a total of only three or four hundred cavalry as arrows, they rampaged through the camp, constantly tearing apart the Li family's army.The following infantry swarmed up, drowning the defeated enemy in an instant.

"The enemy is going to flee, block them, and drag them until the cavalry arrives!" The generals in the camp shouted sharply, and continuously dispatched soldiers to intercept them.

However, the imperial army that attacked the camp was the elite among them, and their combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the soldiers and horses of the South Gate and the Li family army; coupled with the desire to survive, all of them burst out with powerful combat effectiveness.The Ximen camp continued to fall under their life-threatening attacks. Countless soldiers of the Li family army were defeated and had to flee in all directions.

However, at this time, the Hengshan cavalry that Li's army was looking forward to did not come, and their morale gradually became desperate and even collapsed amidst their expectations.

The imperial army quickly broke through the Ximen camp without any delay. Tens of thousands of horses passed through the west camp, fled westward quickly, and were slowly submerged in the night.

In the northern camp at this time, countless Hengshan cavalry were ready to go, standing solemnly.At this moment, a scout rushed over and reported to Lin Yifan, "My lord, some soldiers and horses of the imperial army came out from the west gate, broke through the siege of the west camp, and fled to Shannan County. Our scouts are following behind. Monitor their movements."

"This Cao Ziyan is really cunning. Just like the master said, he really ran west." Lin Yifan sighed, "The mountainous terrain of Shannan County is not good for our cavalry. It seems that he doesn't dare to trust me. Shannan County diverted to Huazhou."

"There are so many talented people in the Imperial Army, so it's not surprising that you can think of this." Ye Hongyu smiled and said, "Since we have thought of this, how can we allow them to escape so easily?"

"That's right, even if you want to let them go, you have to scrape off another layer of flesh to prevent the Li family from being unable to attack Huazhou, which will cause our army's strategic intentions to fail." Lin Yifan nodded and immediately ordered, "Mr. Ten thousand cavalry pursue the enemy fleeing west, and the rest follow me to the south gate!"

With the joining of the Hengshan Army, the situation at the South Gate immediately reversed.Countless soldiers of the imperial army have also realized that they have been abandoned by the general, and they are just pawns left here to attract the attention of the enemy.Under the charge of Hengshan's iron cavalry, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

After a night of fighting and hunting, until dawn, countless imperial soldiers were captured by the Hengshan cavalry, and they knelt down on the ground densely.

In this battle, the imperial court's 5 troops were divided into two groups, one with 4 people going to the south gate to attack the Li family's camp.Another group of 5 people rushed out of the west gate, broke through the west camp, and fled away.After this night of fierce fighting, [-] imperial troops were killed and [-] were injured, and more than [-] were captured.The casualties of the two battalions of the Li Jiajun reached more than [-], which can be described as heavy losses.

At noon, [-] cavalry led by Luo Yi returned, escorted nearly [-] prisoners, killed thousands of enemies, and the remaining [-] people fled into the mountains to avoid the sharp edge of the cavalry.

As for the battle, when the first snow of the year fell, the Northern Expedition finally came to an end.
