Sun Chuanting supervised the battle in the rear, and the officers and soldiers did not retreat a single step, just in front of the peasant army camp, fighting desperately. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

This battle was earth-shattering, and blood flowed all over the field.

Sun Chuanting saw that the men and horses of the peasant army had been mobilized, and many battalions of soldiers were concentrating here, so he sneered slightly, and he ordered Cao Bianjiao to retreat a little bit to leave some open space for the men and horses of the peasant army.

The officers and soldiers retreated backwards, and Liu Zongmin saw Sun Chuanting personally come out to supervise the battle, and knew that the officers and soldiers were ready to fight to the death, if they could defeat Sun Chuanting in this battle, and then rush to the official army camp with one blow, they would definitely win a complete victory. Therefore, he ordered his peasant army to storm upwards.

The men and horses of the other battalions also followed Liu Zongmin and killed them.

At this time, Luo Rucai, surrounded by his generals, also came outside the battlefield, he urged his horse to Li Zicheng, and said: "King Chuang, is Sun Chuanting here in person?" ”

Li Zicheng looked at him: "Cao Cao, why are you here." At the moment, there is no need for you to go into battle, there are not many officers and soldiers, we rush out, and the big camp will have to be guarded by you. Luo Rucai said: "I think Sun Chuanting must be cheating, otherwise he wouldn't have come to supervise the battle in person and attack us." Did you set up an ambush and want to bring our men and horses in, and then make dumplings? ”

Li Zicheng said: "Don't be afraid of him, the official army is only 100,000 horses at most, and we will also dispatch 100,000 people to see how he surrounds him." Luo Shuai, I will take people up, you stay in the camp, be ready for battle, and don't be careless. ”

Luo Rucai nodded: "Okay, King Chuang should also be careful, Sun Chuanting is not a wreck, he has a ghost in his stomach." ”

After the two explained, Li Zicheng commanded the generals, led 10,000 men and horses, went out of the camp, and chased the heels of the officers and soldiers to kill them.

Although Sun Chuanting ordered the withdrawal of the army, it was extremely strict, and there was no sign of panic, after he sent Cao Bianjiao to break off, Cao Bianjiao led his five thousand cavalry, with three-eyed fire guns and bows and arrows to resist, as long as the peasant army approached, it was immediately a burst of random guns, a chaotic arrow. Most of the peasant armies had no armor, so they suffered a lot, and Cao Bianjiao's men and horses were extremely brave and brave, and the two armies slowly widened the distance.

Li Zicheng could see clearly that the officers and soldiers wanted to retreat to the camp, and once they entered the camp, it would not be easy for their men and horses to rush, so he gritted his teeth and gave a ruthless order, regardless of casualties, he must catch up with the officers and soldiers.

This is a death order that Li Zicheng has rarely given since he pulled the flag and rebelled for many years, regardless of the casualties of his soldiers, he must catch up with the officers and soldiers. Because Li Zicheng knew very well that this battle must be won, otherwise Sun Chuanting would never give him a chance to make a comeback.

The last time Chongzhen dismissed Sun Chuanting, many peasant army leaders escaped, which can be said to be blessed by God, but this time, they can only rely on themselves.

Sun Chuanting is the kind of person who either doesn't do it or does it. In his mind, there was no compromise and no half-ass, so this battle, in addition to victory, was defeat.

So Li Zicheng gave a death order, desperate to chase, his soldiers heard about King Chuang's general order, surprised, but also understood Li Zicheng's thoughts, Sun Chuanting is the most capable commander of the court, as long as he can be defeated, Kaifeng City and the whole of Henan are in the bag.

Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi, the two tiger generals, killed the most fiercely. The two men were so excited that they took off their shirts, shouted and shouted with their bare arms, urging their horses to chase after them, and the arrows that the officers and soldiers shot back were all blocked by them with their shields.

When Sun Chuanting saw the formation behind him, he couldn't help sneering, he could see that Li Zicheng wanted to completely defeat himself in one go, and if this continued, his men and horses would be caught up before they withdrew to the camp.

But that's exactly what he wanted.

With 30,000 cavalry under his command, he was flexible and could contain Li Zicheng's brigade and make it leave the camp, so that Gao Jie and Zuo Guangxian would have a chance.

The purpose of this battle was not to defeat Li Zicheng, nor to kill many enemy troops, but to burn his grain and grass baggage, and as long as the peasant army had no food, it would collapse without a fight within a few days. Li Zicheng wanted to find food for 200,000 or 300,000 horses in a short period of time, but it was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

This is the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's plan to sneak attack the black nest in the battle of Guandu.

Sun Chuanting saw that it was not too far from his camp, and at this time, the peasant army had already caught up with Cao Bianjiao, and had already fought with the broken men, so Sun Chuanting gave the order and turned back to face the battle.

The 30,000 officers and soldiers stopped fleeing, turned back to their horses, regrouped their fronts, and fought with the peasant army.

Li Zicheng saw that Sun Chuanting did not escape, and also ordered the men and horses to be divided into three roads, Liu Zongmin on the left and Tian Jianxiu on the right, and he personally led the middle route army to attack together.

Sun Chuanting's men and horses were not scattered, but just like hedgehogs huddled together, they formed a group and fought to the death with the peasant army.

This battlefield was less than 10 miles away from the official and military camp, and while directing the operation, Li Zicheng ordered people to pay attention to the movements of the official and military camp, and to be on guard against the presence of officers and troops in ambush in the camp or on the left and right sides at any time.

The 90,000 peasant army and the 30,000 officer army fought each other, but there was nothing unusual around.

Li Zicheng was a little suspicious, Sun Chuanting was not like a person who would automatically be sent to death, he led a small number of people and horses, and took risks, why in the end.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the shouting of the official army camp in the distance, and when I looked up, the fire in the distance was flourishing, and countless torches converged into a long dragon, which was very eye-catching in the dark night.

Li Zicheng immediately sent scouts to investigate, and after a short time, someone reported: "King Chuang, it is the men and horses of the fifth battalion of Gezuo, and he is besieging the official army camp." Li Zicheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and it seemed that Liu Tichun had already sent a message, and Ma Shouying and others had raised troops when they heard the letter and came to attack the official army camp.

Now I am not afraid of Sun Chuanting's ambush plan.

Sure enough, Liu Tichun led people to the fifth camp of Gezuo, met Lao Huihui and others, and told Li Zicheng's words, Ge Liyan immediately said: "This is a clever plan, without further ado, move troops immediately." So the five battalions of Gezuo were 100,000 horses, leaving only 10,000 people to guard the camp, and the rest of the men and horses followed the three men and horses to Sun Chuanting's camp.

When Sun Chuanting left, he left Zuo Liangyu to guard the camp, at this time Gao Jie and Zuo Guangxian had already led 40,000 horses out of the camp, Zuo Liangyu had 50,000 people, plus other people left behind in the camp, a total of more than 70,000, not less than the men and horses of the fifth battalion of Gezuo. Therefore, as soon as Zuo Liangyu saw the peasant army coming to attack the camp, he immediately organized the army to fight.

Zuo Liangyu has always given priority to attack when fighting, that is, when defending the city or camp, most of the time he is attacking and defending. This time was no exception, he led 60,000 horses, set up a formation, and blocked the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution.

Zuo Liangyu has been rising steadily since he joined the army to fight, from a small soldier to a general of the thief, naturally not by luck, he is decisive and decisive on the battlefield, dare to surprise soldiers, fierce tactics, and although Zuo Liangyu does not pay attention to military discipline, but he is very good to the soldiers, whether it is the Changping soldiers he started at the beginning, or the peasant army that later surrendered, he is treated equally, so his subordinates are happy to work for him. Zuo Liangyu never took the peasant army in his eyes, Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses were first-class combat effectiveness, and he still became his nemesis, so he cared more about the fifth battalion of the revolutionary left.

Therefore, as soon as Zuo Liangyu lit up, he took the initiative to attack.

He sent his subordinate general Hui Dengxiang, that is, the former peasant army's Guotianxing, with 10,000 cavalry to step forward to block the attack of the fifth battalion of the left, and then sent the deputy general Tong Huaiyi to lead 10,000 people to attack from the left, and the deputy general Zhou Bangchen led 10,000 people to attack from the right.

Zuo Liangyu is really powerful, his tactics of attacking and defending are all offensive, and there is no trace of defense.

Lao Hui and Ge Liyan, Liu Xiyao led the men and horses to kill, a total of 90,000 horses, the momentum was violent, and the prestige was very great. They fought a lot of victories in Shandong, so they didn't take the officers and soldiers seriously, and for a long time, they had never faced Sun Chuanting head-on, nor had they learned Zuo Liangyu's power, so when they came up, their morale was strong, and they had the potential to swallow mountains and rivers.

However, they were still a few miles away from the official army camp, and the front army was fiercely attacked by the official army.

After surrendering to the official army, he participated in several battles to exterminate Zhang Xianzhong and made many meritorious contributions.

This time, he was appointed by Zuo Liangyu to be a pioneer, and he was also very hardworking. He lined up the men and horses, and did not launch, and when the peasant army was about to rush closer, he gave an order and the whole army assaulted.

10,000 officers and soldiers fiercely slaughtered and immediately blocked the peasant army. Whittenson personally went into battle, clashing left and right, extremely fierce, and for a time he was stunned by the 5th Battalion of the Left Wing of the Revolution, and the men and horses in front could not resist the impact of the officers and troops, and retreated backwards.

As soon as Lao Hui Hui heard that there were officials and soldiers intercepting him, he immediately reorganized his men and horses and stepped forward to attack. In the firelight, He Yilong saw the other party's flag, and immediately guessed that the person who came was Guo Tianxing, they had joined forces several times before, and they were very familiar with each other, this time each was their master, He Yilong shouted angrily, and ordered the men and horses to attack forward, and they must capture Tianxing alive.

Ten thousand people and horses were mobilized at once, and all of them pressed against Whitden.

At this moment, two other people sent by Zuo Liangyu, one left and one right, suddenly rushed out, and immediately rushed the fifth battalion of the left into three sections.

The men and horses on both sides fought for their lives not far from the official and military camps.

Zuo Mengeng led 20,000 horses, took the small road and rushed to the base camp of the fifth battalion of the left, and when the two armies began to fight, his men and horses had quietly approached the other party's camp.

Lao Huihui and Ge Liyan and others took 90,000 horses to attack, and only 10,000 horses were left in the camp to guard, Zuo Mengeng naturally didn't know, he led the army to the outside of the camp, and ordered his archers to release rockets into the camp.
