Daming pirates

Yan Jizu was always paying attention to the situation of the family army in the capital area, and sent people to watch there day and night. Regardless of any disturbance, he immediately rushed to send the news back to Jinan. Soon he learned that Yu Xiaotian had just led his troops to defeat the slave army.

, the imperial court ordered Chen Xinjia to lead troops to flank the Yu family army, and to resurrect Wu Xiang, and ordered him to lead the Guan Ning army to sneak attack the Tianjin Guard, hoping to take advantage of the Yu family army's weakness at the end of the war to destroy the Yu family army.

What this was done was even more unacceptable. Even the common people immediately cursed when they heard the news. They scolded the court for doing this. It was not a joke. People were killing donkeys when unloading millstones. At least they were trying to unload donkeys from the millstone.

It's better for you to kill them when they come down. You have to kill the donkey before they have even removed the millstone. Is this what humans do?

Yan Jizu also thought so in private, thinking that Yu Xiaotian might be doomed now. After all, his Yu Jiajun had just fought a fierce battle with the Jiannu army, and the losses would probably be quite heavy. Even if they won, it would be a disastrous victory. This

At that time, we were besieged and attacked by a large number of officers and soldiers. We would definitely be unable to withstand it, and defeat was certain.

As a result, after the news reached Jinan Prefecture, Yan Jizu almost choked to death on the spot with a sip of tea, because the news said that Chen Xinjia's troops actually encountered the Yu Jiajun and were beaten to death. Then Wu Xiang led his army to sneak attack Tianjin Guards. Not only did they not destroy Tianjin

Wei took it, but was severely defeated by the Yu Jiajun. Even Wu Xiang himself was killed by a cannon shot by the Yu Jiajun.

Yu Xiaotian then issued a message to the world. To put it bluntly, it was a proclamation for rebellion, and he used the banner of the Qing Dynasty to attack the capital.

Yan Jizu was completely dumbfounded at this time. How could the Yu family army be so powerful? The lone army went north and first destroyed the Jiannu army, and then defeated two powerful armies of the Ming Dynasty in a row. Can it be more powerful?

Soon Yan Jizu received an imperial edict from the imperial court. Someone rushed to Jinan Mansion on flying horses day and night, and Yan Jizu immediately led the Shandong soldiers and horses to march north to defend the capital.

Yan Jizu immediately felt that this time might be a rare opportunity for him to make a comeback. If he could use the fastest speed this time to lead his troops to King Qin of the capital and stop Yu Xiaotian's rebels from invading the capital, then what happened before?

His guilt for the loss of Jinan Mansion will probably be wiped out by this merit. At least the merit and demerit will be balanced, and his head will definitely be saved.

What's more, now that he heard that the imperial court had issued an order to temporarily arrest Yang Sichang, as long as Yang Sichang fell, he could blame Yang Sichang for losing Jinan, and then he would be fine. He might even be able to take the opportunity to be promoted.

It's something that's uncertain.

So Yan Jizu immediately packed it up overnight and rushed to Dezhou. At this time, all the Shandong soldiers and horses in Dezhou had not yet evacuated from Dezhou. He recalled them to Dezhou one after another, and then led the army to march day and night.

He rushed towards the capital as if he was desperate.

As a result, before he led his army to the capital, he heard that Yu Xiaotian had led his army to conquer Tongzhou and had already arrived at the capital city. After Yan Jizu learned the news, he thought about it and discussed it with his staff. At this time, if he led his army to the capital

If so, they will definitely run into the main force of the Yu family army.

This time Yu Xiaotian led his army to attack the capital, and he must have brought all the elites to the capital, and there must not be many soldiers and horses left in Tongzhou. Even if there are some soldiers and horses guarding Tongzhou City, there are probably only a small number of soldiers and horses.

If he captures Tongzhou first at this time, it will be equivalent to cutting off the Yu Jiajun's retreat, and may force the Yu Jiajun to give up attacking the capital. This can also be regarded as a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. When the time comes for the capital to rescue the siege, Yan Jizu will definitely

It is the first achievement.

So Yan Jizu did not dare to lead his army to attack the capital, and instead immediately rushed towards Tongzhou. Although the Shandong soldiers and generals were not strong, this time Yan Jizu was cruel and asked for an imperial edict to suppress the Shandong soldiers and generals under his command.

Don't be lazy and make sure to get to Tongzhou as quickly as possible.

The Shandong soldiers had no choice but to use all their strength and follow Yan Jizu towards Tongzhou. This made him unexpectedly lead his troops to Tongzhou in advance.

After arriving in Tongzhou, Yan Jizu found that the troops of the Yu family here seemed to be very strong, with more than 10,000 people guarding Tongzhou City. He was so frightened that he almost escaped and captured him.

But fortunately, there were knowledgeable subordinates who told Yan Jizu after some observation that the Yu Jiajun in Tongzhou City did not seem to be genuine soldiers, but more like surrendered soldiers who had just been recruited. Moreover, after the Shandong soldiers arrived in Tongzhou, these Yu Jiajun did not

They did not take the initiative to attack, but retreated to the city. This further shows that these Yu family troops are not the main force and should not be too powerful.

So Yan Jizu calmed down and sent troops to challenge and test. As expected, the Yu Jiajun defenders in Tongzhou did not come out of the city to challenge. Yan Jizu felt relieved and ordered his troops to surround Tongzhou City and begin to attack the city.

But even so, Yan Jizu sent troops to attack fiercely for a day, but did not achieve any results. Although he can now determine that most of the Yu Jiajun in the city are surrendered troops who have just been recruited, there is still a part of the main force of the Yu Jiajun in the city, although the number is not large.

But it's also quite fierce.

The Shandong soldiers launched several attacks in succession, but they were all repulsed by the Yu Jiajun who defended the city with muskets and artillery. The Shandong officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Often, before the offensive could be organized, they were beaten to the ground, and even the moat leading to the city was blocked several times.

Can be touched.

This was despite the fact that the walls of Tongzhou City were damaged in many places. This result made Yan Jizu quite unwilling, but he also learned about the power of the Yu Jiajun and became more cautious.

Just when Yan Jizu was determined to capture Tongzhou City at all costs, he had just organized two attacks in the morning when he received news overnight that a Yu family army of several thousand people had appeared.

They were only about twenty miles away from Tongzhou City, and were rushing towards Tongzhou City at a rapid march.

Yan Jizu was frightened and quickly ordered the siege to stop. The entire army gathered and formed a formation in the southwest of Tongzhou to meet him. Yan Jizu brought 30,000 troops from Shandong this time. Although he was very afraid of the combat power of his family's army,

However, he still thought arrogantly that his military strength was many times greater than that of the Yu Family Army, and at least he would not be severely defeated!

Fortunately, this time the Yu Jiajun did not return with their entire army, but only less than 5,000 troops. Yan Jizu privately believed that the Yu Jiajun was too arrogant to do this. With his strength, four of them would fight one.

There are still people watching the fun and taking clothes, so they can't even stop Yu Jiajun, who is less than 5,000 yuan!

So Yan Jizu gritted his teeth and ordered his Shandong generals to eat the five thousand Yu family troops at all costs. Even if they only win this one battle, they will probably be able to answer the question to the court in the future.

With a distance of more than ten miles, facing the rapid march of the Yu family army, Li Tong led his troops to the defense line of the army in less than an hour.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ninth Brigade had been rushing all the way, and when they got here, they were basically exhausted. So after Li Tong saw the officers and soldiers, he ordered to stop advancing and take a rest on the spot.

However, Li Tong wanted to rest, but Yan Jizu refused. He immediately sent thousands of his "elites" from the left and right wings to outflank the Yu family's army coming from the opposite side, trying to give them a head-on advantage when the Yu family's soldiers were exhausted.

Fight hard and defeat this group of Yu Jiajun's reinforcements in a short effort.

When Li Tong saw the posture of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, he became angry and happy at that time. He thought to himself that I haven't had time to find trouble for you yet, but you have come to trouble me first! But that's okay, let's deal with this first.

Let me help you guys.

As Li Tong's order was issued, the ninth brigade soldiers immediately formed four hollow square formations in battalion units. As soon as the officers and soldiers approached them, they attacked the officers and soldiers fiercely.

Before the officers and soldiers in charge of the attack could get close to the Yu Jiajun's line, they were knocked off their feet by a hail of bullets.

Under such an environment and terrain, the official army's infantry formation against the home army's infantry phalanx is simply an act of seeking death. No matter how elite they are, when facing the Yu home army with absolutely superior firepower, they will

Only to be beaten.

Therefore, the thousands of officers and soldiers who attacked did not last even half a quarter of an hour before they were beaten to a pulp by the soldiers of the Ninth Brigade. They were defeated in a snap and scrambled to escape back the way they came.

When Li Tong saw that he had defeated this group of officers and soldiers, he was not in a hurry to pursue them and let each battalion continue to rest. However, Yan Jizu felt a little numb at first glance. This battle seemed not as easy to fight as he thought! So Yan Jizu began to worry.

Got up.

But at this moment, he would definitely not dare to withdraw his troops, because now he can be said to be guilty. If he retreats at this time, once the court becomes free, he will definitely not be spared, so he gritted his teeth

, the generals under his command, the whole army launched an attack on the family army, and could only advance but not retreat. If anyone dared to retreat in the face of the battle and fled without authorization, his head would be chopped off.

And he personally led Fu Biao to supervise the formation from behind, and also set up some of the artillery carried by the army, not to use them against the Yu family army, but to prepare to use them against the Shandong soldiers who escaped without authorization.

More than 20,000 Shandong soldiers began to form a formation fearfully. Under the urging of fierce war drums, they began to swarm towards the Yu family army like a black ant colony.

Li Tong saw that the officers and soldiers were risking their lives, so he immediately ordered a stop to rest, and the entire army stood up in formation. He combined the four battalions into two large hollow square formations, making the formation much thicker.

The officers and soldiers started shouting hundreds of steps away. Each one yelled to embolden themselves, and began to attack the Yu family army, driven by the generals.

As a dense volley of gunfire sounded like a shower, the battlefield simultaneously rang out with the shrill screams of countless officers and soldiers...
