Chapter 96: The decisive battle between Zhongzhou XII
Zuo Liangyu saw that the retreat was blocked, and began to fight for his life, but at this time, his noodle-like team had been cut into many pieces.
At this time, the troops he can command are probably only nearly a thousand people who were blocked at the exit with him, but these nearly 1,000 people are Zuo Liangyu's elite generals, and they are really ruthless, but their strength should not be underestimated.
Gao Yihuan rode his yellow-haired horse and rushed to kill on the official road for a while, and found that the official road was already in chaos, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
At this time, a left sergeant saw this thief on horseback, and immediately stabbed with a spear, Gao Yihuan was on the side, dodged a blow, and then grabbed the spear shaft with one hand, pulled it hard, and the war knife was slashed from the bottom to the top, and the left army was cut over.
After killing one person, Gao Yihuan did not love to fight, hurriedly turned the horse's head, urged the horse to climb the hillside, and rode alone on the mountainside, like a lone wolf, his eyes scanning the battle on the official road.
The official road winds in the valley, and on the battlefield that stretches for several miles, the sound of killing is earth-shattering, and the thieves and the left sergeants are fighting at the bottom of the hillside, and the scene is spectacular, which makes the second brother's heart stir.
Zhao Zhuzi and others, who had no horses, saw Gao Yihuan rushing up the hillside, and hurriedly forced the opponent away with a knife, and also climbed to the hillside, and came to Gao Yihuan's side to listen to the order.
This time, Gao Yihuan and they took advantage of the time and place, but the opponent was a famous figure in history after all.
Although his reputation is not very good, Zuo Liangyu is also one of the five towns in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and he has experienced the ups and downs of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and he can live long enough in troubled times, which shows that he at least has some ability.
At this time, the second brother's eyes flashed, and he was paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield. After the sudden attack, the left army was indeed in chaos, but at that time the retreat was not broken, and most of the soldiers wanted to flee for their lives, so they did not show their due strength.
Now that the retreat was blocked, the left army found that it could not escape, so it began to fight desperately, especially at the exit.
At this time, in most parts of the official road, the second brother Gao and they all had an advantage, but at the exit, more than a thousand left troops resisted very tenaciously, Wu Shizhao and Jin Xiangang attacked this group of left troops from both ends, and they couldn't take a step forward.
"Lao Tzu underestimated Zuo Liangyu. If it goes on like this, Shizhao and they are afraid that they will not be able to stop it, and they will let Zuo Liangyu run away! Gao Yihuan observed for a while and spat out.
"Brother Gao, why did you come up the mountain!" Liu Heizi was killing and killing, and when he looked up, he saw a group of people standing on the mountain, and when he looked closely, it was Gao Yihuan, so he also killed down the slope and climbed up.
The men and horses from the Guide Mansion were nominally under the command of Zhao Yingyuan, but the ambush was actually Gao Yihuan's idea, and it was basically organized by him.
Originally, Zhao Yingyuan just wanted to stay in Yuncheng and block the official army, but Gao Yihuan wanted to seize a place in Runan, so he suggested that the army take the initiative to attack.
Although they only need to block the officers and soldiers, even if they complete the task, if they only block, they will not be able to cause damage to the officers and soldiers, and if the officers and soldiers retreat, it will affect the plan of the second brother Gao.
If there are too many officers and troops in the south of Yuzhou, with the strength of the second brother Gao, there will be no chance to seek Runan in a short time, and he may be defeated by Li Zicheng in the end.
If he wants to take Runan in front of Li Zicheng, he can only use the strength of Zhao Yingyuan and Liu Heizi to annihilate the officers and troops from the south, so that the troops in the south of Yuzhou are empty, and he will have a chance to take Runan.
The plan for this ambush was entirely Gao Yihuan's attention, and Zhao Yingyuan did not agree at first. Gao Yihuan persuaded him that when he defeated the official army from the south, Zhao Yingyuan could rush to Xiangcheng to help Li Zicheng, and the merit was none other than the Savior, Li Zicheng was fighting a decisive battle with the official army, and if he dared to go to reinforcements at this time, he would definitely be able to get Li Zicheng's praise, Zhao Yingyuan reluctantly agreed, and Liu Heizi, who was eager to show his face as a general, was also moved.
Now that a big victory can't run away, Liu Heizi admires Gao Yihuan more and more, he saw Gao Yihuan standing on the hillside, thinking that he was thinking about what the hell he was doing, so he came over to ask what the hell was going on, and he couldn't let this guy take advantage of anything.
Liu Heizi is now pressing the second brother high step by step, and his eyes are staring at the second brother high to death, in short, what the second brother does he do, in short, he doesn't let the second brother leave him behind.
Gao Yihuan looked down when he heard the voice, but it was Liu Heizi, his face was immediately happy, he was not polite, and pointed directly to the distance and said, "Brother Liu, did you see the exit?" ”
Liu Heizi climbed up a little out of breath, stuck a knife on the ground, supported his body, and then looked in the direction pointed by Gao Yihuan, "See, Guisun is very tenacious!" ”
Zuo Liangyu led the men and horses to attack Wu Shizhao wave after wave, and Jin Xiangang attacked Zuo Liangyu wave after wave, and the battle was very fierce.
Gao Yihuan nodded, "Zuo Liangyu is there, do you see it?" ”
Liu Heizi hurriedly looked over again, and saw that among the nearly 1,000 left troops at the exit, there were many generals wearing iron armor, one of them was riding a black horse, with a big flag behind him, and he was waving a knife to block arrows, which was estimated to be Zuo Liangyu.
Gao Yihuan then continued: "There are many new pawns among Wu Shizhao's men, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand it for long, and Jin Xiangang has not advanced a few steps until now, and if he continues to hold on like this, Zuo Liangyu is very likely to break through." ”
Saying that, Gao Yihuan looked at Liu Heizi, "Brother Liu, you take someone to help Jin Xiangang, quickly break this group of left troops, and catch Zuo Liangyu, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
Liu Heizi withdrew his gaze and instinctively nodded, but he felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "Why am I going, Brother Gao?" ”
Gao Yihuan pursed his lips, pressed his sword in his hand, puffed up his chest, and explained with a smile: "Now the official road is very chaotic, General Zhao is also fighting, and there is no unified command of all departments, I am here to help you control the overall situation, see where you need troops, I will immediately let people reinforce you!" ”
Liu Heizi glanced back at the official road, and the people of each department were indeed fighting on their own, but after listening to Gao Yihuan's words, he didn't feel good in his heart? With his Gao Yihuan using his brain, he can stand and watch the play, and Lao Tzu can only buy and sell his strength?
Liu Heizi was a little unhappy, and always felt that he had been taken advantage of, but he still pulled out the knife and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, don't worry, Zuo Liangyu's turtle grandson can't run, I'm going to capture him!" ”
After Liu Heizi finished speaking, he beckoned his subordinates who came up, rushed down with a big knife, and went straight to the left army at the exit to kill.
At this time, the second brother Gao's eyes scanned the battlefield again, Zhao Yingyuan led the men and horses to push over from the north, a large number of left troops were killed or surrendered, and there were still a few left troops on the official road who were resisting, but it was only a matter of time before they were annihilated.
On the entire battlefield, the left army was divided into multiple sections by Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi's men and horses, and Zhao Yingyuan took his men and horses, with superior forces, and was eating the left army from north to south, piece by piece.
These divided left armies had no command and did not know the situation of the entire battlefield, and most of them were at a disadvantage, only at the exit were still inseparable.
This is not surprising to Gao Yihuan, after all, many elites of the left army fled here with Zuo Liangyu, these people are people who have been killed for a long time, many of them have left their names in history later, and their combat power is naturally very strong, but today they are all going to die here.
Gao Yihuan saw that the left sergeant was constantly being hanged, and sighed in his heart, "After this battle, Lao Tzu can be regarded as ending a traitor's nest." ”
"Li Guoying became the governor of Sichuan in the Qing court, and made great contributions to the Qing court's capture of Sichuan, he was a Han thief who killed countless people, and he is going to die here today. Xu Yong and Hao were loyal to defend Changsha for the Qing court, buying time for the Manchus to extinguish the second anti-Qing upsurge and break the Ming army in Hunan, where they will die today. The most important thing is Zuo Liangyu, the person who buried the Southern Ming Dynasty with his own hands, also has to be carried here. ”
"How will history go after this war? Without Zuo Liangyu, there will be one less infighting in the Southern Ming court, can it withstand it? During the Yongli Dynasty, Hunan and Sichuan, the two most fierce anti-Qing battlefields, without Li Guoying and Xu Yong, how would the left-wing rebels evolve? ”
When the second brother Gao was thinking about the impact of this battle on the future, Zuo Liangyu, who was trapped, rushed several times and didn't rush out, all of which ended in failure.
"Dashuai, you can't rush out!" Li Guoying was covered in blood, and he was slashed on his body, and his face was full of embarrassment.
Yu Yong also came to Zuo Liangyu's side with a knife, and said urgently: "Zuo Shuai, there is a black charcoal head behind him, he is very fierce, and the brothers can't stand it."
Zuo Liangyu was riding on a horse, his face became distorted, and his forehead began to sweat, if he couldn't rush out, then he and his subordinates would have to fold here.
At this time, Zuo Liangyu was riding on the black horse, and couldn't help but look around in a little panic, and found that the left army was constantly compressed, nearly a thousand people were almost crowded together, and the situation looked so desperate!
Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu was silent for a while, his face was cloudy, he couldn't rush out, and he didn't want to die, so he had to surrender. Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai both surrendered and rebelled, so he can also surrender by fraud. Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu's butt left the saddle and prepared to turn over and dismount~
"Zuo Shuai, listen, there are people coming from the south!" Xu Yong said suddenly.
Zuo Liangyu was startled when he heard this, sat back on his ass from the saddle, and said in a panic: "Where, where?"
