Cao Bianjiao's 20,000 cavalry did not move immediately, quiet as a hunting tiger, staring at the battlefield, the dark armor flashing with a cold glow.

The two sides quickly turned into a fierce battle, and Zhou Zheng's army was all elite, strong in battle, and as hard as iron.

Although Li Zicheng's army lacked discipline and sufficient training, it won a big victory all the way, and even won the capital, with a momentum like a rainbow, and also greatly improved its combat effectiveness.

The two sides fought endlessly in the field, and Li Zicheng put on a long snake formation that often wins, piercing back and forth, and rushing to kill.

Zhou Zhengze responded calmly and saw the move.

Li Zicheng stood in the rear, looking at Zhou Zheng's army, there was still a trace of worry, but now he was full of confidence, with a smug sneer on his face.

The two sides fought for a full hour, and it turned into a tug-of-war.

Whether it is Man Gui, Yang Guozhu's left flank, or Zhou Zheng's Chinese army, there is no obvious advantage, and even a disadvantage gradually appears, after all, it is more to fight with less.

Cao Bianjiao's cavalry still didn't move, it was standing in a forest, and it was quiet and terrifying!

in a piece of stone.

Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and others did not attack, and confronted Zhao Shujiao not far away.

They also couldn't figure out what the Jianyu army meant, and they were worried that the Jianguo army would enter the war, so they cautiously did not attack.

Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Shujiao were even more so, putting defense first, staring at Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and other Ming Dynasty generals, and guarding against the surprise attack of Jianyu.

Twenty miles away, Dolgon and Zilharan sat on their horses, and listened to the report of the scout.

After half an hour, Dolgon frowned and said, "Is this week Zhengyun going to use an army of 40,000 to contain us, and also to contain Wu Sangui and the others?" ”

Jierharang's face was as cold as iron, he looked in the direction of Shanhaiguan and said: "Zhou Zhengyun's strategy is very clear, hold us back, and when he defeats Li Zicheng head-on, all problems will be solved." ”

Dolgon snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty has sent troops to Jinzhou, and we can't be indifferent. I see, just launch an attack, Wu Sangui saw it, and he will inevitably attack and destroy here, we don't need to make a move, Wu Sangui and the others will inevitably go around behind Zhou Zhengyun, Zhou Zhengyun! Defeat is assured! ”

Zilharang glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty's letter says that we should be cautious and guard against Zhou Zhengyun's followers. Zhou Zhengyun arranged 40,000 here, brought 60,000, and the total number was only 100,000. ”

Dolgon looked unwilling, and said, "Then let's just do it?" When they're done, it's time to backhand us! ”

Zilharang turned his head and said, "Don't worry, it's just the beginning, let's see where the wind goes." ”

Looking at the direction of the wind, that is, choosing the right time, this is often the most terrifying.

Dolgon felt extremely uncomfortable, suppressed his anger, and said, "Spread some of the detectives, keep an eye on me!" ”

A group of cavalry responded and galloped out.

And the confrontation of a piece of stone continues.

Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and others were discussing and thinking about countermeasures.

Wu Sangui's experience over the years is a bit surprising, because Zhou Zheng executed his uncle, perhaps because he was worried that Zhou Zheng would deal with him, Denglai left Jin Guoqi's troops after the first battle and defected to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou went to prison and belonged to Chen Xinjia, Chen Xinjia was imprisoned because of 'peace', he was afloat, and finally sought the general army of Xuanfu.

In the northwest to suppress bandits, his military exploits are really a lot, and many people in the court appreciate it, if it were not for Zhou Zheng's deep roots in Liaodong, it would not be true that he was transferred to the Shanhaiguan General as in history.

He was very handsome, his eyes were sharp, he looked at Tang Tong and the others, and said: "The movement of Jianyu is unknown, the emperor is fighting in Yongping Mansion, we have missed the fighter, what should we do now?" ”

Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and others were also a little uncertain, and even a little uncertain in their hearts.

Zhou Zheng and Li Zicheng, who wins and who loses?

At the beginning, Zhou Zheng suppressed the prestige of the Northwest Rebellion, and they, the generals who suppressed bandits in the Northwest, knew very well that if Zhou Zheng won, what would they do?

Wu Sangui didn't have such thoughts, and he didn't even know what these people thought, so he continued: "Cao Wenzhao, Zhao led a total of 40,000 people, we might as well test it first, as long as there is a war, it will be clear what Jianyu means." ”

Bai Guangen hurriedly said: "Then, what if Jian Yu merges with Zhou Zheng?" They are cavalry, after a sudden attack, our soldiers and horses are not superior, if we are defeated here, the emperor will face a flank attack......"

Tang Tong continued: "Yes, we have to be cautious now, we should hold them back. We are not the key here, as long as we hold them back, and when the emperor wins, everything will be solved. ”

Wu Sangui heard what they meant, and said categorically: "Can't!" If we have no work, the emperor can't explain it, so let's test it first and see their relationship. ”

Tang Tong glanced at Bai Guangen and the others, still hesitating.

Bai Guangen looked at Wu Sangui, coughed, and said, "If we suffer heavy losses, even if the emperor wins, there is no capital to gain a foothold." ”

Bai Guangen's words are very direct, they are generals of the Ming Dynasty, and their status in the Dashun Dynasty is already embarrassing, if there is no army in hand, it will be even more untenable, and they will worry about their lives.

Wu Sangui naturally understood this truth, frowned, and said, "If we win here, then the king will not be a problem!" ”

Bai Guangen, Tang Tong was immediately moved, but there was still hesitation in his eyes.

Li Zicheng did promise them that if they won the world, they would give what they wanted, but what if they lost?

"Wait!" Tang Tong gritted his teeth and said.

Bai Guangen hurriedly followed and said, "Now is the time to compete for patience, don't act rashly!" ”

Wu Sangui saw that the two of them were resolute, and he hated them in his heart, but he couldn't help it, he didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he couldn't act alone.

Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Shujiao faintly sensed the meaning of both sides, responded calmly, and did not act rashly.

In this way, the three parties of a stone, wary of each other, and the expected big war did not start.

The battle in Yongping County continued, and the fierce battle between the two sides became more and more intense, and Li Zicheng stood behind the army and kept giving orders.

The drums of war are eager, and the heavens and the earth are moving.

Zhou Zheng 20,000 against 40,000 people, although it seems to be at a disadvantage, is still as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest sign of defeat.

Cao Bianjiao's cavalry was still motionless, like a half-unsheathed sword, flashing with edge, but did not attack.

The fight between Man Gui, Yang Guozhu and Liu Zongmin is almost equal, and they are stalemate, and in a short period of time, they can't see victory or defeat.

Li Zicheng sat in the middle tent of the army, gradually saw something, wrinkled his brows, and said, "Tian Jianxiu, when will Li Guo arrive?" ”

Tian Jianxiu is also a general of Quan, with the same status as Liu Zongmin, Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, brave in battle, originally still in Shaanxi, because to deal with Zhou Zheng, Li Zicheng specially summoned them to come, but the time of the war was advanced, and they had not yet had time to arrive.

A eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the two generals said that they could arrive at noon this morning, and the estimated time is at most half an hour." ”
