Chapter 89: The decisive battle of Zhongzhou Five

Sun Chuanting looked up at the sky, the sky was already full of dark clouds at some point, and his eyes looked at the water stains on his hands, and he was stunned for a long time.

"Overseer, it's time to go!" Gao Jie dressed neatly, beat his horse and came to Sun Chuanting's side, reminding him.

"Oh~" Sun Chuanting responded a little distractedly, subconsciously clamped the horse, took a few steps forward and suddenly reined in the war horse, turned his head to Gao Jie and said: "Yingwu, you immediately find a team of elite horsemen, and order Zuo Liangyu and Hu Dawei to let the two go north and outflank Xiangcheng." ”

Although Sun Chuanting transferred Zuo Liangyu before the battle, Zuo Liangyu's Chu soldiers may not listen to Sun Chuanting's orders, so Sun Chuanting did not place hope on Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu really did not come to Xiangcheng on schedule.

At this time, it suddenly rained in the sky, and it was inevitably difficult for the army to retreat, which added a lot of uncertainty to Sun Chuanting's plan and made him realize the danger, so he wanted to grasp one more straw.

"Inspector, hasn't the order already been issued? Zuo Liangyu is coming, he should have rushed to Xiangcheng a long time ago, and we don't have to be so troublesome. Gao Jie pursed his lips, a little despised Zuo Liangyu who "fled when he was strong, and fought when he was weak", he hugged his fists, "Supervisor, the last general thinks that he is going to transfer that guy, he should say something serious to make him afraid." ”

Before Sun Chuanting left Tongguan, he transferred Zuo Liangyu and asked him to go north to cooperate, but Sun Chuanting fought from Tongguan to Xiangcheng, and Zuo Liangyu's soldiers still did not arrive.

Nanyang and Runing are in the hands of the official army, there is no problem of impassable roads, if Zuo Liangyu cooperates well, Sun Chuanting is in Jiaxian, maybe Li Zicheng's main force will be annihilated.

Sun Chuanting shook his head, if Zuo Liangyu waved under him, he wouldn't mind killing Zuo Liangyu like killing He Renlong, but now he can't reach Zuo Liangyu, say heavy words, and give strict orders, I'm afraid that Zuo Liangyu feels that the situation is wrong, and he won't come.

Zuo Liangyu was the governor and governor who died, saying that he was the second in the Ming Dynasty, and he was afraid that no one would dare to call him the first, so Zuo Liangyu naturally wouldn't care much about Sun Chuanting's orders.

"No strict orders!" Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "You let people tell him that the governor led the army to pretend to retreat, set up a danger to wait for the thieves, and the thieves have pulled out the camp from Xiangcheng. In this way, he will be able to snow the shame of Zhu Xianzhen and atone for his sins. ”

Gao Jie clenched his fists a little reluctantly when he heard this, "No, the last general will arrange for someone to pass the order." ”

"Okay, you can do it quickly." Sun Chuanting waved his hand, and said to the guard, "Order the army to speed up and start immediately." ”

In the middle camp of the official army, Gao Jie, Niu Chenghu, Zheng Jiadong, Sun Shoufa, Sun Zhixiu, Hao Shangren, Zuo Xun and other soldiers and horses packed up the camp tents, loaded them on trains, and tens of thousands of horses pulled out the camp and walked west.

At this time, the Sichuan soldiers and Yuzhou soldiers of the left and right battalions couldn't help but flock to the wall, looking at the people and horses in the middle camp, the train was connected into two lines, walking on both sides of the official road, and the soldiers walked in the middle of the train.

In the left and right battalions, Qin Yiming's Sichuan soldiers were okay, after all, they were people from other provinces, they didn't know the situation in Zhongzhou, and they were not too afraid of thieves, but Chen Yongfu's Yu soldiers were suddenly a little restless.

They fought three battles in Kaifeng, and the same army was killed for many years, Li Zicheng flooded Bianzhou, drowned two or three hundred thousand residents in the city, and the Yu soldiers were also drowned thousands of comrades.

In Xiangcheng, after Li Zicheng convened everyone to discuss the matter, he temporarily stabilized the group of thieves.

As for how to fight a decisive battle with the official army after stabilization, Li Zicheng had no other tricks, and only wanted to come up with a way to cut off the food supply of the official army.

The official army relied on the car camp, all the way to push over, Li Zicheng was defeated in successive battles, and after the defeat of Jiaxian, he finally figured out Sun Chuanting's means.

At this time, he knew that the officers and troops were heavily assembled, and it was difficult to fight hard, but the officers and troops were far away from Shaanxi, and the formation of the army was heavy in front and light in the back, but it gave Li Zicheng the opportunity to outflank the back of the officers and troops.

If he can cut off the food supply of the officers and soldiers, the officers and troops will inevitably be in chaos, and when the time comes, the camp will collapse, and he will wave his troops to cover up and kill, and he will definitely be able to kill the officers and troops to a great defeat.

At this time, he sent Liu Zongmin to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to make a detour to copy the official army's grain road, and on the other hand, he sent a war letter, wanting to confuse Sun Chuanting and drag the official army in Xiangcheng.

It's just that after he sent the battle letter out, he regretted it a little, and felt that he was completely overdone.

Li Zicheng had too few strategists around him, and no one could remind him, he was pacing in the festival hall, and Yuan Zongdi, the former battalion general, suddenly walked in, bowed down and clenched his fists, and said urgently: "King, Sun Chuanting has run away, and the two battalions of the official army and the left and right camps are in chaos, and the camp is full of noise." ”

Li Zicheng stopped, his face was shocked, and he said in his heart, it's not good.

He was regretting the submission of the letter, Sun Chuanting took the letter and fled, sure enough, he was right, Sun Chuanting saw through his plan at a glance.

At this time, Li Zicheng couldn't wait to give himself a slap, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that the plan failed.

Henan was devastated by Li Zicheng's scourge, and the army besieged Kaifeng for more than half a year, but he didn't get anything, and the harvest of Luoyang was about to be consumed.

Sun Chuanting was anxious to exterminate the thieves, and Li Zicheng was also anxious to break the situation. He has millions of people, and after the plague of Henan, he has to find a new place to plague it, otherwise he will sit and eat empty sooner or later.

At present, Beizhi and Shandong cannot be reached, and there is no mass base in the south, and there are only two directions to go in Shaanxi and Huguang.

If Sun Chuanting is allowed to retreat and choke the main roads between Nanyang and Tongguan, he, the millions of people, will definitely run out of food and disperse.

Sun Chuanting was urged by the imperial court to fight with Li Zicheng, and if Li Zicheng wanted to break the predicament, he also needed to fight with Sun Chuanting.

Only by defeating Sun Chuanting can he break out of Henan, the land of four wars, take a corner of the world, and lay down the foundation, otherwise once the team is scattered, he can only be a rogue forever, and he cannot transform.

"Let's go, follow me out of the city and have a look!" Li Zicheng immediately put on Fan Yang's felt hat and walked out of the lobby quickly.

Outside the city, a light rain fell in the sky, Sun Chuanting led the Qin soldiers to leave not long ago, and Qin Yiming led the Sichuan army to retreat, leaving Chen Yongfu's Yu soldiers at the end.

The west gate of Xiangcheng was slowly opened, and hundreds of cavalry dressed in robes galloped out, horses' hooves trampling on some muddy ground, muddy water splashing.

The cavalry galloped in the rain, and the rain flowed down the clothes, Li Zicheng ran to a dirt slope, restrained his horse, and only heard a commotion from the hazy Ming army camp in the distance.

The corpse of a Ming soldier fell in the rain, blood stained a large area of the ground, Chen Yongfu stood in front of the camp gate, the raindrops fell on his iron helmet, the water droplets soaked his armor, and flowed down his arm to the war knife, with the blood on it, dripping from the tip of the knife.

"Don't panic, those who escape from the battle die!" Chen Yongfu killed a rebel soldier, raised his knife and pointed at many Yu soldiers, and roared loudly.

"The superintendent ran away, the Qin soldiers and the Sichuan soldiers fled, leaving us as substitutes for the dead ghosts, we won't do it!"

"Brethren, run!"

The Yu army in the camp was in an uproar, and the soldiers saw that the camp gate was blocked, so they simply pushed it to the fence, poured out of the camp one after another, and fled in the rain.

Li Zicheng saw this scene from afar, and his heart was immediately overjoyed, "Sun Chuanting knows that Lao Tzu is going to cut off his grain and retreat in a hurry, go back and transfer troops, pursue immediately, don't go Sun Chuanting~"
