Chapter Fifty-third: The Battle of Fengyang VII
Lin Dong looked at Liu Zongmin opposite. The number of the intruders was far greater than his own. The most important thing was that the intruders still had hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city. If they could not defeat the insurgents, the consequences would be disastrous if they were surrounded by the insurgents.
So Lin Dong, like Liu Zongmin, set his sights on the opponent's general to capture the thief and capture the king. Only by taking out Liu Zongmin could he repel the intruders. This was the only chance for Anton's army.
Lin Dong was so angry that he didn't expect that my first battle in Ming Dynasty would be with Liu Zongmin, a celebrity. Today I want to see how much Liu Zongmin is capable of.
Lin Dong immediately shouted and rushed towards Liu Zongmin. Several intruder soldiers tried to stop them, but they were chopped down to the ground by Lin Dong.
When Liu Zongmin saw Lin Dong charging toward him, he did not dodge. As the saying goes, enemies were extremely jealous when they saw him. He raised his spear high and struck Lin Dong headlong.
Liu Zongmin was riding on a horse, but Lin Dong's condition restricted the army to have no horses at all, so he could only fight on two legs.
In this way, Liu Zongmin undoubtedly took advantage of him, and his spear struck Lin Dong down with the force of wind and thunder, full of momentum.
Lin Dong secretly said something bad, but it was too late to dodge at this moment, so he immediately raised his sword high in his mind, preparing to resist Liu Zongmin's blow.
"Bang!" A loud noise came out, and the weapons of the two collided in the air, making a loud noise, and their bodies quickly staggered away.
"Okay!" Lin Dong felt a huge force pressing down on his head, and his hands could hardly hold the long knife.
"Good boy, you have some skills." Seeing that the opponent actually resisted one of his moves, Liu Zongmin was also surprised. He immediately turned his horse and charged towards Lin Dong again.
Lin Dong would not give him this chance again. When he saw Liu Zongmin coming towards him, he immediately knelt down on one knee and then dwarfed his body. He held his sword across his chest and swung away Liu Zongmin's spear. Then he took advantage of the momentum with his sword.
A horizontal stroke hit Liu Zongmin's horse's leg.
The horse was struck by Lin Dong's long knife and fell down. Liu Zongmin also fell off the horse.
What a good Liu Zongmin, his skills are indeed strong. When the horse fell down, he twisted his body and broke away from the horse's back. He spun around and stood firmly on the ground.
Lin Dong nodded and said secretly: Those who can be written into history are indeed not ordinary people. It seems that we need to be careful in this battle.
He was thinking this in his mind, but his hand did not stop at all, and the long knife struck Liu Zongmin in the head, who had not yet stood firm.
"Haha, good time!" Liu Zongmin roared angrily and raised his weapon, just like Lin Dong just now, ready to catch Lin Dong's sword.
"Ding..." There was another muffled sound, and the two of them stepped back. This time the sword was evenly matched.
"It turns out it's just like that! Just watch the move..." With one move to repel Lin Dong, Liu Zongmin didn't relax and went straight to Lin Dong.
He had the same idea as Lin Dong. Lin Dong's Anton Army was well-equipped and brave and capable of fighting. If Lin Dong, the general, could not be eliminated, it was hard to say who would win in this battle, so he decided to eliminate Lin Dong, the general.
.
Seeing Lin Dong and Liu Zongmin fighting together, Black Bear suddenly broke into a cold sweat. If something happened to Lin Dong, the entire Anton Army would immediately fall apart.
In his desperation, he could no longer care about the pain in his body. He picked up the spear in his hand and headed towards the direction of Lin Dong to kill him.
When the black bear arrived, he happened to see Lin Dong and Liu Zongmin fighting together. He immediately roared and shot Liu Zongmin down on the back of the head with his spear.
Liu Zongmin seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. In his haste, he ducked his head to avoid the black bear's spear, and the weapon in his hand moved towards Lin Dong's left rib without any change.
Seeing the opponent's weapon heading towards his left rib, Lin Dong snorted coldly, ignoring the opponent's weapon and stabbing the opponent's chest with the long knife in his hand.
"Wow..." With a sound, Liu Zongmin's weapon hit Lin Dong's left rib first.
"Yes!" Liu Zongmin was overjoyed.
Just when he thought that this move could solve the opponent, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and a long knife had pierced the armor. He turned around in a hurry to relieve some of the huge force, and the long knife pierced the armor.
The left rib slipped and left a deep gash.
If he hadn't been wearing a breast protector, this move would have killed him. Even so, Lin Dong's long knife was so shocked that he spit out a mouthful of blood when it hit the breast protector.
Looking at his own weapon again, the weapon that struck Lin Dong's armor only cut through the surface of the opponent's armor, but did not damage the skin.
It turned out that just when his weapon had just hit the opponent, the opponent's body twisted slightly and lost most of the force, and his weapon was also passed through his ribs by his body, leaving a hole. It was a pity that this
One blow could only cut through the opponent's armor and did not damage the body.
"What a great General Lin Dong, Zhang Fei is really a good person..."
"What a great General Lin, Zhang Fei is really a good person..."
For a time, the entire Anton Army was excited about it.
Liu Zongmin was beaten by Lin Dong until he vomited blood, and his soul suddenly appeared. He turned around with a roar and retreated towards his own team.
"Your generals have been defeated, why don't you traitors surrender quickly?" Lin Dong saw Liu Zongmin turning around and running away, so naturally he would not miss this golden opportunity and shouted loudly.
These intruders, who had been frightened by Anton's army for a long time, heard Lin Dong's roar and hurriedly looked in the direction of the two men. Sure enough, they saw Liu Zongmin retreating towards the back of the team. They all thought that Liu Zongmin was trying to escape, and were suddenly shocked.
I don't know who shouted "defeat" in the crowd. Suddenly everyone became a mess, and some even threw away their weapons and turned around and ran away.
For a moment, there were shouts of death, curses, and cries, and the entire intruders fled along the street like ducks.
Lin Dong would never miss such a good opportunity and immediately shouted: "Kill Liu Zongmin!"
Suddenly, Anton's army was in a state of excitement, and there were shouts of "Kill Liu Zongmin" everywhere.
Hearing the cry of killing, the entire invading army was immediately thrown into chaos. They no longer cared about attacking the enemy, dropped their weapons and ran towards a deserted place.
"No chaos, no chaos!" Liu Zongmin didn't expect that the opponent would seize the opportunity as soon as he retreated. Now that the team was in chaos, it was extremely difficult to recover. The advantage he finally gained was instantly wiped out. He really wanted to die.
They all were there, and in anger, he picked up his weapons and chopped down several soldiers who retreated.
Unfortunately, it was already dark at this time, and the discipline of the peasant army was already poor. Once the chaos started, it was almost impossible to clean up, and the entire team quickly became a mess.
"General, let's go quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late!" A group of guards hurriedly picked up Liu Zongmin, helped him onto the horse without any explanation, and then rode away.
Knowing that nothing could be done, Liu Zongmin could only sigh secretly and retreat with his team.
Seeing the opponent retreating, Lin Dong shouted: "Chase!"
The Anton army suddenly came out of the box like tigers, roaring and chasing after the Chuang army, killing everyone they saw.
Lin Dong knew in his heart that although Liu Zongmin retreated, their main force was not affected. If he did not take advantage of the situation to cover up and disrupt the enemy's formation, the other party would soon organize another attack.
Although Anton's army is brave, its manpower is limited after all, and a prolonged battle will be very detrimental to its own side.
Under the impact of Anton's army, the intruders scattered everywhere. Everyone was trying to escape. They took off their armor as they ran. Only in this way can they run faster.
The only thing they have to do now is to run faster than their companions, so that they can have hope of survival.
Lin Dong led Anton's army in pursuit, and when he saw that Chuang's army had completely fled, he led the team back to the street.
He believed that after this burst of fighting, Liu Zongmin would not be able to pack up his troops within two or three hours.
Two hours later, it was already dark, and it was probably time for me to leave.
Lin Dong looked up at the sky. The sky was dark with only a few weak stars twinkling there.
Lin Dong here had just defeated Liu Zongmin, and Zhu Guoxiang over there had been fighting Gao Jie for hundreds of rounds. At this time, he was already entangled with the army led by Gao Jie, and this was not the worst.
The worst thing is that reinforcements have arrived for the invading army at this time. This time the reinforcements are led by Li Zicheng personally and number more than 10,000 people. They are rushing towards the city gate.
It turned out that King Chuang felt uneasy when he saw that Liu Zongmin and Gao Jie had not captured Fengyang for so long, so he sent Chuang General Li Zicheng out.
Seeing countless intruders heading towards the city gate, Zhu Guoxiang wanted to die. The Gao Jie in front of him was already very difficult to deal with. With the army behind him, wouldn't he become a rat in the bellows?
Zhu Guoxiang was shocked and forced Gao Jie back with a feint. He immediately called a messenger and said: "Immediately take my general order and go to Yang Ze, Eunuch Yang, the eunuch guarding the mausoleum. Tell him that Fengyang City is in danger. Let him
Send troops to rescue immediately!"
The soldier took the order, took the general order from Prime Minister Zhu, and rushed towards the direction of the imperial mausoleum.
Different from the situation at the city gate, at this time, Cheng San at the dock was leading more than a thousand migrant workers to move the grain in the warehouse. After such a long period of transportation, the grain had already filled several large ships.
Li Da did not dare to neglect, and once the big ship was full, he immediately ordered the boatman to sail out and transport the grain and grass.
As for the other routes leading to the granary, they were still firmly guarded by the Anton Army at this time. These lanes were very narrow and the intruders could not break through them for a while, but the pressure was much lower than that of Lin Dong.
"Send someone immediately to see how the situation is at the dock now?" Lin Dong turned around and ordered the guards around him.
"Yes, General!" After the battle just now, everyone admired Lin Dong even more. He was like a beacon in the dark night, always lighting up the way forward when he and others needed it most.
Soon, the messenger sent by Zhu Guoxiang arrived at the residence of eunuch Yang Ze, but unfortunately Yang Ze did not come back.
