Faced with the large array set up by the officers and troops, Li Zicheng decided to use the tactics of crowds to consume the officers and troops.

As long as the displaced people and infantry troops in front can break through the big formation and open a gap, the elite cavalry of the old battalion he left behind can pour into the official army formation from the gap and defeat the official army with the advantage of numbers, for which he doesn't care how many people die.

In this way, his casualties will inevitably be very heavy, but as long as he defeats Sun Chuanting, he will be invincible, and it will be worth the sacrifice.

Now his men and horses will also begin to be regularized, and when Sun Chuanting is defeated, the Ming Dynasty will have no elite soldiers in Henan and Shaanxi, and he will not need these homeless people and miscellaneous soldiers to consume the official army and his grain and grass.

In the square array of the Ming army, a watchtower was erected, Sun Chuanting put his hand on the edge of the watchtower, and looked at the army on the opposite side, and there was a figure in his eyes, and his expression couldn't help but be a little dignified.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty failed again and again whether it was to suppress bandits internally or externally, and the officials and soldiers lost a batch and then lost a batch, which had long exhausted the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.

He went out of Tongguan this time, although he defeated the army one after another, but each time it was not a hard encounter, but a trick, and after obtaining enough information, he defeated the thief in a row, but the sad thing is that since he entered Henan, although he has won a lot of victories, but the thief seems to be unable to kill.

Every time he defeated Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng was always able to recover quickly, and he also brought out more people.

This made him seem as if he was not fighting in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it seemed that no one in Henan was an enemy, which made him haggard.

At this time, in the distant bandit formation, suddenly a war drum thundered, and a crowd of people in front of them was noisy, and some of them were driven forward by a cavalry of the intruding army.

Sun Chuanting, who was standing on the lookout car, looked down at the soldiers under the lookout car, and saw that the soldiers of the various departments were silent and waiting for the battle, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

"Order the front army to prepare to meet the enemy, and then order the left front formation Hao Shangren, the right front formation and the left front, if the thief soldiers directly shake the central army of the governor, the two formations should be left and right, and the thief army will be attacked together. If the thief army pulls out the left front and right front first, the two formations will move closer to the main formation at the same time, and the artillery and archers of the front army will give reinforcements to the two formations! Sun Chuanting raised his arms and clenched them into fists, "In addition, let the left rear and right rear two formations be on standby at any time, and when Gao Jie's elite cavalry and other infantry formations repel the thief soldiers, they will attack to cover and kill the defeated army, but remember not to go deep into the enemy formation, and immediately retreat to the main formation when encountering enemy cavalry." ”

Sun Chuanting's large formation, although it is a defensive formation, but it is not blindly defended, except for the main formation, the four small formations can be moved, offensive and defensive.

On the watchtower, the Ming military order flag waved, the war drums sounded, and the cavalry who carried the message came and went between the various departments to convey Sun Chuanting's military orders. Gao Jie, Sun Shoufa, Zuo Xian, Hao Shangren and other generals raised their banners to return to the main formation.

At this time, the crowd driven by the army had already come to a mile in front of the Ming army, and Sun Chuanting, who was looking upstairs, finally saw the military appearance of this army clearly.

They had no queues, no armor, no banners and no signs. The soldiers in the team are old and young, the people and horses are uneven, and some even need the support of people around them to move forward.

This is not a thief army at all, it is the people of Zhongzhou!

A middle-aged man in front of the team was holding a nail rake in one hand, an old man with white hair in the other, and a child about ten years old beside him.

This is obviously three generations of fathers, sons, grandfathers and grandchildren, all of whom only wore a torn cotton jacket and walked in front of them in the mud.

The image of the others was not much better, they were all dressed in tatters, and they held all kinds of farm tools as weapons in their hands, and they heard that King Chuang Juntian was free of grain, and brought farm tools to cast, and there were few war knives, spears and other weapons.

There are many homeless people under Li Zicheng, and some of them are coerced by the invading army. This kind of person has a grudge against Li Zicheng, so it is quickly consumed, and Li Zicheng will not stay for long.

These people are mainly the people of the state capital who were looted by Li Zicheng in the relatively wealthy eastern Henan region, like the second brother Gao and his group are this group, and there are more than 100 men in the entire village, but only ten people are left.

In addition, there are some displaced people who can't survive, and they are called for "Juntian to be exempted" and take the initiative to come to Li Zicheng.

This group of people is mainly the relatively barren people of western Henan, who were affected by natural disasters and imperial court taxes, and could not survive in their hometowns, so they took the initiative to become displaced people, and were attracted by Li Zicheng by opening warehouses and releasing grain.

Li Zicheng's old battalion soldiers are also mostly from this group of displaced people, and they are more supportive of Li Zicheng, believing that Li Zicheng can take them alive and divide the land among them.

There are also some displaced people, who are coerced by Luo Rucai and Yuan Shizhong, and there are quite a few people, more than 100,000 people.

At this time, these displaced people mixed together and approached the Ming army's large array together. They have been suffering from hunger for a long time, and they are used to seeing people around them die, there is no fear on their faces, their expressions have become a little numb, and even death is a relief for them.

When Sun Chuanting saw this scene, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, the people should have stood on the side of the officials and soldiers, but natural disasters and man-made disasters have made the court lose their hearts every year, and the people have become thieves, so that the thieves can't kill them all, so that he is in a situation where he is surrounded by enemies on all sides.

The Ming army in front of the battle saw the oncoming thieves, and when they saw their appearance, they were obviously a rabble, but the soldiers did not laugh at them, but looked at each other with some anxiety.

At this time, the cavalry behind the displaced people began to gallop to drive away the displaced people, and these people of Zhongzhou suddenly let out an angry roar, like a flood, like the Ming army pounced.

The combat power of these people is not worth mentioning, but Sun Chuanting frowned and smashed his fist on the watchtower.

It's not that he can't bear to kill people, in fact, since he entered Zhongzhou, there have been many murders, and Yutang County has killed tens of thousands of thieves' families and many homeless.

He was not worried about the bandits disrupting his line, he had confidence in his men, he believed that the army could easily stop these outcasts.

What he was afraid of was that he would not be able to finish killing, and he was afraid that he would kill one batch after another, and finally the army would be exhausted and defeated by the elite soldiers of the old battalion of thieves.

The Chuang army did not send elites to fight him, but drove the displaced people in front, which made Sun Chuanting a little worried.

He understood Li Zicheng's motives, and drove the displaced people at the bottom to death, which could not only consume his military strength, break through the big array, but also reduce the consumption of food for the thieves, and maybe also consume Luo Rucai and Yuan Shizhong, who were dissidents.

It's just that his large array and the men and horses he brought out are so easy to be consumed to death?

Sun Chuanting's face turned cold, and he waved his hand and ordered, "Command all the departments, those who are close to the big array, don't be killed!" ”

"Rush! Kill it! ”

The robber generals who drove away the homeless people roared loudly, and the homeless people followed the loud shouts, rushing towards the Ming army one after another. The large array of officials and soldiers was like a sugar cube that fell to the ground, and countless homeless people were like ants, swarming up from all sides.

Overlooking the earth from the sky, on the battlefield within a radius of more than ten miles, countless figures surged, and the scene was grand and spectacular~

On the official road in the south of Yuncheng County, the battle is still going on, and it is even more intense! After all, the left army is also a team of people who have been killed for a long time, and Gao Yihuan blocked their retreat, which was equivalent to cutting off their way of life, and stimulated their potential.

The left army desperately wanted to escape, but Gao Yihuan, Liu Heizi, and Zhao Yingyuan mustered up all their strength, and they had to annihilate the left army here!

The sound of killing on the official road shook the sky, and the battle showed a white-hot state~
