In the first battle of the Weihe River, Bai Qi annihilated more than 2,000 officers and soldiers with 1,400 men and horses, 3,400 officers and soldiers escaped along the river, more than 300 people were captured, and the remaining 17,800 people, except for those killed and wounded on the battlefield, most of them drowned in the river. It is also considered a battlefield martyrdom, and you can posthumously be awarded an official position.

As for the materials captured on the battlefield, more than a dozen carts were pulled, and everyone surrounded Bai Qi, shouting and laughing as they walked, and the hungry people suffered three or five hundred casualties, which was not a heavy loss. More importantly, this was the first battle in which Bai Qi led them and the official army, and the victory was clean and neat, which greatly enhanced their confidence.

Back in Meixian City, Bai Qi rewarded the three armies, rewarded according to merit, he rewarded and punished clearly, everyone was very convinced, heard that Bai Qi led more than 1,000 people, defeated nearly 3,000 officers and soldiers, the entire Meixian area was shouting, and everyone also heard that the leader was called Bai Qi, it was the God of War more than a thousand years ago who was resurrected to help King Qin fight for the world.

For a time, the whole Meixian County was in a state of turmoil, and there was an endless stream of people who joined the army, and the white men and horses were expanding at an astonishing speed.

Not to mention Meixian County, let's talk about Wugong County, the officers and soldiers who escaped by jumping into the water finally ran back, told the county order all the previous situation, and scared the martial arts and Fufeng county order to death. After this defeat, the two counties that were already short of troops almost had no more troops, and if the thieves took advantage of the victory to attack, the two counties could not be defended, so the Fufeng County Order rushed back to the county, recruited militia, and held the city. At the same time, the two county commanders discussed and immediately reported the enemy situation to Hong Chengchou in Xi'an.

But they also know that at present, the city of Xi'an is surrounded and there is a war, and this kind of hostility can only be transmitted by carrier pigeons. The two understood that even if Hong Chengchou got the news, it would be impossible to send reinforcements, so they could only guard the county seat and wait for the end of the battle under Xi'an.

But how could Bai Qi let them sit and defend in peace, after two days of truce, Bai Qi personally led the troops to attack Fufeng County, because there were few soldiers in the city, the combat effectiveness of the newly recruited militia was too poor, so it only defended for less than a day, the city fell, and the county order fled.

After occupying Fufeng, Bai Qi spent another two days to capture the martial arts and kill the county order, so that the three counties were at their peak, and Bai Qi finally had his own base.

After conquering the three counties, Bai Qi's men and horses increased to more than 4,000 people, and the cavalry also had six or seven hundred, and with the strengthening of training, their combat effectiveness became stronger and stronger.

At this time, the battle under the city of Xi'an, which has rarely been seen in a hundred years, has entered the **.

Since Zuo Liangyu and Sun Chuanting defeated the peasant army in Luohuachuan, Li Dingguo and Sun Chengzu returned to Xi'an with the remnants of the army, and when they saw Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, Zhang Luo and both of them were taken aback, and after listening to Li Dingguo's statement, the two were even more shocked.

Luo Rucai asked Sun Chengzu to go down to recuperate, and then discussed with Zhang Xianzhong: "It seems that Zuo Liangyu can't stop it, he has four or five thousand people, plus this Sun Chuanting, I'm afraid that there will be no less than seven or eight thousand people, and we will be attacked from front to back." ”

Zhang Xianzhong was afraid of affecting the morale of the army, so he was still comforting him: "We have 50,000 horses, are you still afraid of thousands of him?" The only thing to be cautious at the moment is Lao Hong in the city, he will definitely go out of the city to take advantage of the fire to rob, so I think we still have to send out one or two thousand people first, block Zuo Liangyu first, and can't let him come over. ”

Luo Rucai thought for a while: "Zuo Liangyu's cavalry is very powerful, all of them are not afraid of death, they really want to rush over, and one or two thousand people are afraid that they will not be able to eat such a large lump of hard dry food." ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "What should I do according to you?" Luo Rucai said: "If you want me to say, go all out to help, leaving only a small number of people to look at Hong Chengchou." Let's take more than 40,000 people and kill Zuo Liangyu first. ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded: "Listen to you, let's leave a thousand people at each gate, and bring the rest of the people and horses." ”

Luohuachuan is more than forty miles away from Xi'an City, and the cavalry can arrive in an hour, Zhang Xianzhong judged that after Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo and others had a fight, and it was night, they would definitely rest, and they would come after dawn, so he and Luo Ru had just arrived on the fourth watch day and were ready.

More than 40,000 people, as well as thousands of cavalry, took advantage of the hazy moonlight, and drove eastward, Li Dingguo was very unconvinced of Zuo Liangyu, so he tried to be a pioneer officer, and Zhang Xianzhong agreed. Li Dingguo took 3,000 cavalry, fully armed, broke away from the brigade and walked four or five miles in front.

The brigade walked twenty miles away, and the scout Pegasus sent by Li Dingguo came back to report: "Pioneer officer, three miles ahead, I found officers and soldiers, holding a big banner with left characters. But Sun Chuanting's banner was not found. ”

Li Dingguo smiled coldly: "It's here." He ordered his three thousand cavalry to occupy the high slope first, and when the enemy arrived, he was not allowed to charge, but only to defend.

One of the adjutant generals on one side asked, "Pioneer officer, why don't you be condescending and rush forward?" ”

Although Li Dingguo is young, he has a lot of combat experience, he sneered: "Zuo Liangyu's men and horses are very brave, our cavalry is not an opponent, and there are Sun Chuanting's men and horses, I don't know where to hide, therefore, we must not be reckless, hold the favorable terrain, and wait for the arrival of the large group of men and horses, we can gather and annihilate Zuo Liangyu." ”

His 3,000 cavalry received the order and galloped up several high slopes and occupied the highest point. With a saber in one hand and a shield in the other, they stood in full force.

After a while, a big flag slowly moved closer from a distance, and you can see it clearly, the big book on the flag is on the left, no need to ask, it is Zuo Liangyu. Li Dingguo looked at the formation of the official army, and thought about it in his heart, feeling that something was wrong, why there were only 1,000 people.

Yesterday in Luohuachuan, he had a fight with Zuo Liangyu, at that time, there were about three or four thousand people in the Zuo army, and about seven or eight hundred officers and soldiers were killed in that battle, so Zuo Liangyu should still have three thousand men and horses.

There are only more than a thousand at the moment, where are the other two thousand? Where is Sun Chuanting?

Li Dingguo suddenly felt that he was like a wolf in a trap, he was originally going to catch sheep, but he became a prey.

Could it be that Zuo Liangyu had already thought that the Zhang Luo coalition army would intercept halfway and would never allow him to go to Xi'an?

It's not difficult to think of this, but what's fatal is that where did the other two thousand Zuo Liangyu's cavalry and Sun Chuanting's thousands of infantry go?

Suddenly, Li Dingguo suddenly realized, he called the deputy general beside him: "Go and report to the commander, be careful of sneak attacks......"

But it was too late, and as soon as he said this, he heard the shouting of killing in the distance behind him, and the ground trembled slightly, and a sound like thunder sounded.

It was the sound of countless warhorses, trampling across the earth.

Li Dingguo knew that Zuo Liangyu and Sun Chuanting had given way to his cavalry and began to attack the infantry led by Zhang Luo and the others. The other party was very cunning and knew that the Zhang Luo coalition army would inevitably send elite cavalry as the vanguard, while they avoided this elite cavalry and focused on unprepared infantry.

is so powerful Zuo Liangyu, what a powerful Sun Chuanting.

The facts are not bad at all with what Li Dingguo thought.

Last night, Sun Chuanting saw that he had fled King Qin, Li Yan and others, and knew that he couldn't catch up, so he didn't order to chase him, and after his daughter came back, he didn't blame him, because he knew that his daughter would always love this Zhao Gongzi in her heart. On the surface, Sun Chuanting is very strict with his daughter, but in his heart, he regards Sun Mengdie as a pearl in his palm, even if she causes a catastrophe, Sun Chuanting will take it for his daughter.

Sun Mengdie didn't mention the true identity of King Qin, and Sun Chuanting didn't ask much, in short, the matter of rescuing Li Yan shows that this Zhao Gongzi must be a person in the Qin army.

Sun Chuanting has more important things at the moment. Hong Chengchou is in Xi'an City, with thousands of men and horses, against tens of thousands of thieves, if they go late, Xi'an City is broken, Hong Chengchou has a good villain, Chongzhen will not spare them. Therefore, they had to quickly defeat the Zhang Luo coalition army to relieve the danger of Xi'an.

The next day, just after the fourth watch, Zuo Liangyu had already prepared the people and horses, ready to march, Sun Chuanting came to see him, Zuo Liangyu was very polite, the two discussed, and felt that after the thieves fled back last night, Zhang Luo and the others must have known that they had arrived at Luohua River, which was very close to Xi'an City.

Now that they knew that they were coming, it was impossible for Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai not to react. And the most likely reaction is to put down Xi'an City and break their reinforcements first.

Because Xi'an City is there, Hong Chengchou is there, and he will never escape. The peasant army only needs to surround the city with a small number of people, and the large group of men must have rushed at them at the moment.
