It is said that more than 500,000 peasant troops attacked in four directions, what kind of chaos has become in the northwest? In fact, the peasant army does not have the horror that those officials imagined, whether it is the Chongzheng Dynasty or the Chongzhen Dynasty The combat effectiveness of the peasant army is not very good, their specialty seems to be to flee for their lives, repeatedly defeated, repeatedly defeated and fled, and it is not good to escape from the Ming Dynasty, of course, that is the matter of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and there is no such situation in the Chongzheng Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, some peasants may not be convinced, how can the peasant army be so dissatisfied, isn't the capital of the Ming Dynasty captured by them, and the Ming Dynasty is not destroyed in their hands? This is really lifting them, when Li Zicheng attacked the capital, it was all the way to surrender and surrender, and there were few who really fought with him, until Ningwuguan encountered a hard stubble: Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of the guard, in that battle, he hundreds of thousands of horses and horses beat thousands of people, and he paid the price of more than 70,000 deaths to capture Ningwuguan, pay attention, it is not a casualty, it is more than 70,000 people killed, and all the Ming army guards are as bloody as Zhou Yuji, even if he has a million troops, I am afraid that he will not be able to hit the capital.

When they arrived in the capital, they also surrendered here, that surrendered, no one fought with them at all, there was a strange injustice here, Chongzhen had returned to his hometown in twelve years, and Cao Huachun, who had lived at home for almost six years, was falsely accused by those shameless literati of opening the city gate to welcome the righteous army into the city's 'city guarding eunuch', Cao Huachun's gun was lying down, it was really unjust. No matter how wronged Cao Huachun is, one fact is undeniable, that is, the righteous army was opened to welcome into the capital, not entered, as for who opened the door, this is an eternal mystery, maybe it is the person who slandered Cao Huachun.

If you want to talk about real fighting, Li Zicheng really didn't do much, the Manchu Qing really fought with him, and as a result, he had an army of one million, and he was wiped out in less than a year after fighting, you must know that at that time, the entire Jurchen clan was more than one million, and the difference in the combat effectiveness of the peasant army can be seen.

Therefore, even if they have more than 500,000 troops at this time, even if they have a 'clever plan' to attack from four directions, more than a month has passed, they have not achieved any decent results, Li Zicheng is to surround Luoyang, Zhang Xianzhong also surrounded Xiangyang, but they have not yet been defeated, Luo Rucai also led all kinds of righteous troops to advance into Fengyang Mansion, that is just a few dozen miles into the land, just Wu Pingwei's 50,000 defenders make them helpless, difficult to advance.

These three roads have been fought anyway, what is Gao Yingxiang, the main force of the peasant army, doing?

At this time, they are looking for a way, looking for a shortcut to Xi'an, or rather, they are looking for death, looking for a way of no return to hell.

Gao Yingxiang, how to say it, among the leaders of these peasant rebels, he can be said to be the most ordinary one, he does not have the vision of Wang Jiayin, the king of Fugu, the domineering of King Zijin Liang for his own use, the ferocity of Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, and the resourcefulness of Cao Cao Luo Rucai, the reason why he can become the leader of the rebel army may be because he has a powerful nephew: the future king of Chuang, the current general Li Zicheng.

Although Li Zicheng is not very good, he is the most powerful among the leaders of these rebel armies, if Li Zicheng is in Gao Yingxiang, he may not be able to embark on this road of no return, but Li Zicheng is not in the Chongzhen Dynasty and Chongzheng Dynasty, so Gao Yingxiang is destined to embark on this road of no return.

It's so terrifying, what kind of road is this?

This road is the famous Meridian Valley in history, during the Three Kingdoms, the Shu Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and the naturally rebellious Shu general Wei Yan had a disagreement because of this road.

Wei Yan believed that if he attacked from this route, he would be able to take Guanzhong by surprise and go straight to Chang'an.

And Zhuge Liang believes that if someone sets up an ambush on this road, it will definitely lead to the annihilation of the whole army, and this road must not be taken.

In the end, Wei Yan naturally couldn't resist Zhuge Liang and didn't succeed, if he really embarked on this road, maybe he wouldn't have to trouble Ma Dai to give him another knife in the future, because this is really a road of no return.

Gao Yingxiang naturally didn't have Zhuge Liang's IQ, and he was not even as good as Wei Yan, so after his subordinates found this legendary road to Chang'an, he did not hesitate to lead an army of 200,000 to step up.

It is said that there were indeed no men and horses guarding Xi'an at that time in Chongzhen's Dynasty, and it is understandable that he ran over to sneak attack, at this time Xi'an has Sun Chuanting's 100,000 troops, why did he still run to sneak attack?

This is also his fate, Li Zicheng once analyzed the magic time of the four-way attack, and the most likely breakthrough is Xi'an, because Sun Chuanting learned that Fengyang was besieged, and he would definitely wave his troops to save it, there is the ancestral tomb of the little emperor today, how dare Sun Chuanting not save it.

Li Zicheng didn't know that Zhu Cijiong could easily dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops, he thought that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were all restrained by Houjin, otherwise they would have almost reached the capital last time, and only Sun Chuanting would have rescued them.

Li Zicheng didn't know, Gao Yingxiang didn't know, he also thought that Sun Chuanting would definitely go to Fengyang to help, there was no mobile phone in the Ming Dynasty, no one called him in Xi'an to tell him that Sun Chuanting didn't go at all, anyway, he thought that Sun Chuanting would go, so he didn't hesitate to choose 'sneak attack' Xi'an.

As for Sun Chuanting, he had already received Zhu Cijiong's secret order, beware of the thief's sneak attack from the Meridian Valley!

Well, in fact, he didn't need Zhu Cijiong to remind him, but no one reminded him in history, he also caught Gao Yingxiang in Meridian Valley, and now with the emperor's reminder, he is naturally more prepared.

Gao Yingxiang thought that he was doing something unknowingly, in fact, the Qin army scouts had already hooked up with the Jinyi Wei secret agents in the righteous army, and his every move Sun Chuanting knew clearly, he had just stepped into the Meridian Valley, and Sun Chuanting had already begun to arrange an ambush at the exit, opening his pockets, ready to 'welcome' his arrival.

Needless to say, the ending is even worse than that time in the Chongzhen Dynasty this time, the Qin army is well-equipped at this time, not only with flintlock pistols but also grenades and howitzers, and it is simply a one-sided slaughter to deal with them with big knives and spears and even the righteous army with hoes on their backs.

Gao Yingxiang's defeat is called a miserable, he led 200,000 righteous troops to walk for more than half a month, just arrived at the exit of the Meridian Valley, before he had time to celebrate, "boom boom" on both sides of the mountains suddenly flew out of countless shells, "pop pop" before and after the valley suddenly appeared row after row of Ming troops, more than 200,000 people were sandwiched in the narrow valley, the shells and bullets smashed like raindrops, less than half an hour, the valley has been bleeding, 200,000 rebels are either lying on the ground rolling, or kneeling on the ground to surrender, Of course, there are many that are already blurred with flesh and blood, and the opportunity to roll and surrender is gone.

This time, Gao Yingxiang didn't even have the opportunity to hide in the cave, and was directly arrested by Sun Chuanting, and none of the 200,000 main forces of the righteous army escaped!
