Look at the Qin army on the other side, the big flag headed by it, with the word "red" written on it, and the banner immediately crossed, it is a female general, it is the red lady. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

The two led a large group of Qin troops, with the cavalry in front, and pounced like a violent wind.

The officers and soldiers who were besieging Li Yan were shocked when they suddenly saw a large number of Qin troops coming. These Qin troops did not come to reinforce Li Yan, but directly went to the official army camp and killed them.

Li Yan understood Bai Qi's plan in an instant.

At this time, almost half of the officers and troops under the command of Zuo Liangyu were besieging Li Yan, and the other half were fighting fires in the camp, packing up and rescuing grain and grass, where could they still organize an effective formation to resist.

Therefore, the two-way army led by Bai Qi and the Red Lady entered the official camp like the sky was falling apart.

Zuo Liangyu was shocked when he saw the situation, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to stop taking care of the grain and grass, and immediately face the battle.

However, the Qin army was too violent, Bai Qi and the Red Lady each led 5,000 cavalry, stepped into the enemy camp, killed people when they saw them, and cut them when they met people.

Originally, there was not much flat land in this place, but when the two sides camped, they could not always be camped in the ditch, so they all found a relatively flat place to camp, Zuo Liangyu was no exception, but at this time it was unlucky, 10,000 Qin cavalry in the camp at will, galloping vertically and horizontally, where they passed, the blood was light, and more Qin troops threw torches indiscriminately, military tents, vehicles, etc. were ignited, and the whole camp was once again on fire.

The red lady was worried about Li Yan's safety, so she rushed to Bai Qi and shouted: "General, the enemy army has been disorganized, do you want to send a team of men and horses to reinforce Li Gongzi, his situation there is critical." ”

Bai Qi said: "No, attack the camp with all your might, as long as this camp is destroyed, the siege of Li Gongzi will be solved without a fight." ”

The red lady frowned, but it was not easy to disobey the order, she rolled her eyes, rode back, and when she arrived in her own army, she gave a few orders to a deputy general, and asked him to lead the men and horses to continue to charge and kill, and she took a thousand cavalry and rushed in the direction of the front camp.

No matter what, she has to rescue Li Yan.

Bai Qi's general order was not wrong, but she was not at ease, so she took this thousand men and horses, like arrows off the string, to kill the front camp.

Zuo Liangyu watched the Qin army rampage in the camp, the entire camp was already in chaos, and his soldiers fled in all directions, and their corpses were killed all over the field. Zuo Liangyu also had red eyes, these horses were brought up by him with great difficulty, it turned out that he was just a guerrilla general, with thousands of men and horses, in a few years of war, he was cautious, preserved his strength, recruited and rebelled, and finally came out and became the commander of tens of thousands of male soldiers, this is his only family background, and he must not lose it in this battle.

At this time, he had already seen that his men and horses could not be organized, and they had all become stragglers, and in front of the superior Qin cavalry, they had no strength to fight back, and if they continued to fight, they would only suffer heavy casualties.

Therefore, Zuo Liangyu immediately made a decision and ordered the entire line to retreat, go east, and flee back to Ruyang.

Dozens of adjutant generals and his son Zuo Menggeng protected him, and fled east with thousands of cavalry. When the officers and soldiers heard this order, they also fled from the camp one after another, and fled desperately with their commander.

The men and horses who were besieging Li Yan also withdrew one after another, these men and horses did not suffer too many casualties, and they could still maintain a relatively complete formation and structure.

Li Yan and Wang Bao breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, the red lady with a team of cavalry also killed in front of them, and when they saw that Li Yan was unharmed, they were relieved.

The two sides joined forces and pursued the officers and troops closely. It's just that in the dark night, I can't see clearly, and the officers and soldiers are walking all over the mountains, so they don't chase and destroy much.

After chasing for about ten miles, most of the officers and soldiers fled without a trace, so Li Yan collected the men and horses, returned to the official and military camp, and came to see Bai Qi.

At this time, Bai Qi had completely occupied Zuo Liangyu's camp and was cleaning up the battlefield. When the two sides met, they both laughed and said hard work to each other.

The victory in this battle was because Li Yan was the bait, but Bai Qi did not tell him about this matter in advance, but Li Yan did not blame Bai Qi, he knew that this kind of confidential matter must have something to last. Once it is explained in advance, it is very likely that it will be found out by the officials and soldiers, and it will not succeed at that time.

Only in the most critical moments can the desperate spirit of the soldiers be brought out.

At this time, Yizhimei also came to meet, when she was in chaos in the camp, she found a hidden place to hide, until the Qin army entered the camp, she came out, jumped on a war horse, merged into the Qin army, and fought with the official army.

Bai Qi saw a plum, and praised it with kind words, saying that this battle could be a big victory, and a plum branch had the greatest credit. I want to go back to the table for King Qin, ask for a seal for her, and it is best to get a general as well, Yizhimei's face is flushed, and she is very excited.

At the moment, the results of the battle were checked, and more than 4,000 officers and soldiers were killed in this battle, and five or six thousand were wounded and captured. And the Qin army itself lost four thousand men.

In the camp of the official army, there was still a lot of grain and baggage left, so Bai Qi ordered Li Yan and the Red Lady to command the infantry and transport them back to his camp, and ordered Wang Leopard to lead the cavalry and go straight to Ruyang.

Wang Bao frowned when he heard this: "General, continuous battles, the sergeants are tired, do you want to take a break and march in the morning?" Bai Qi shook his head: "The soldiers are fast, once Zuo Liangyu enters Ruyang, take a breath, it will not be easy to capture, I think after Zuo Liangyu escapes back to Ruyang, the four doors must be wide open, to meet his own rout, take advantage of this opportunity, in one fell swoop, if you wait until the rout soldiers enter the city, Ruyang will become a strong city, it is not easy to capture." ”

Wang Bao was deeply impressed, and took 16,700 cavalry along the road and went straight to Ruyang.

Bai Qi continued to command the men and horses to clean up the battlefield until dawn, when the cleaning was completed, and then returned to the camp to rest.

Two days later, Wang Bao sent someone to deliver the letter, he had captured Ruyang, Zuo Liangyu led the army to flee, and he did not know where to go.

As expected, after Zuo Liangyu led thousands of men and horses to flee into Ruyang, he opened the four gates to meet the rout, he originally thought that in the dark night, the Qin army would definitely not come, because the Qin army also fought all night and needed to rest. Therefore, he was relieved and bold to contain the rout.

But as soon as the sky was bright, Wang Bao led the cavalry of the Qin army to pounce, at this time the four gates of Ruyang City were wide open, and there were many officers and soldiers who broke into the city, and the defense was also very lax, so Wang Bao led the army to the front when he was near, and the city found that he was eager to close the city gate, but was crowded by the rout soldiers outside the city, and everyone flocked inside and outside the city gate, making the city gate unable to close.

Wang Bao led the cavalry and rushed in almost on the head of a man.

Zuo Liangyu heard that the cavalry of the Qin army had entered the city, and immediately led the army to rush out of the north gate and go east, this time he only took a few thousand cavalry and rushed out of Ruyang City, and most of those infantry did not follow.

Wang Bao slaughtered into Ruyang City, the official infantry immediately scattered, escaped from the four gates, far away, Wang Bao did not divide the troops to chase, but occupied Ruyang City, and then reported to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi received the news and was very happy, as soon as Ruyang was broken, Zuo Liangyu could no longer gain a foothold in Henan, and there were peasant armies in other places, so Zuo Liangyu would definitely flee to other provinces. Bai Qi ordered, and the whole army marched and went to Ruyang City to station.

The Qin army of the brigade was mighty, and went to Ruyang, and after entering the city, it went out to settle the people, and then rested in the city to recruit soldiers, and the momentum was very large.

As expected, Zuo Liangyu fled all the way, did not dare to establish a foothold in Henan, turned south, fled into Huguang, and finally collected people in Wuchang, Zuo Liangyu was angry and blamed himself, but on the other hand, he recruited people in Wuchang and prepared to fight again.

The Battle of Zhaoping has a great impact, it is by far the largest battle between the Qin army and the official generals, Zuo Liangyu as a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, was defeated by the Qin army again and again, most of the men and horses were lost, and finally fled to Huguang in disgrace, and the majesty was swept away.

After this battle, the Qin army was shocked in the Central Plains, and since then, the name of the Qin army has spread to several provinces. In the whole of Henan, there is no place for the official army to gain a foothold, and it has completely become the territory of Li Zicheng and the Qin army.

After the Qin army occupied Guanzhong and Hanzhong, it once again broke into Henan, and obtained a bridgehead to enter the world.

When King Qin received the news of Henan's victory, he was very excited, and immediately issued an order to commend him, Li Yan, Red Lady, Yizhimei, and Wang Leopard were each promoted to one level, and Bai Qi was also crowned an earl.

For Bai Qi and Zhang Yi, Wang Jian these important ministers, the King of Qin has promoted their official positions to the maximum, and can no longer be crowned, so they can only be sealed on the title, because the territory of the Qin army is not large at this time, and the King of Qin is only a prince, so the earl began to be promoted.

After sealing everyone, the King of Qin immediately ordered Bai Qi to lead the army back to Tongguan, leaving Wang Leopard to guard Ruyang, Zhang Gong to guard Nanyang, Li Yan and the Red Lady, and Yizhimei to return to the division with Bai Qi.

After Bai Qi received the order, he was ready to return to Shiguanzhong, at this time, Li Yan rushed to find him, Bai Qi didn't know what was going on, Li Yan said: "The general has recruited talents in several counties in Henan, someone recommended one to me, this person is named Zhang Huangyan, eighteen years old, but he has participated in the county examination of the Ming Dynasty, and he has been in the martial arts field, and he has fired three arrows in a row, and the arrows hit the target, and the people of the time are very amazed. This man is in the city of Ruyang. ”

Bai nodded: "How is this talent?" ”

Li Yan said: "I just went to see him. Bai Qi said: "What does Childe think?" Li Yan smiled: "He didn't see me at all, and directly gave me a closed door." ”

Bai Qiyi frowned: "Why?" Li Yan said: "This person is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he has long threatened to refuse to serve the righteous army, and it is said that Li Zicheng has also recruited him before, but Zhang Huangyan ran away from home and did not agree." ”
