Chapter 654: The Best of the Strong

Li Zicheng did have a talent for rebellion, and he was able to deal with the ten-sided encirclement and suppression deployed by Hong Chengchou with ease.

Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang, who retreated to Shaanxi, joined forces and ambushed Liu Chenggong and Ai Wannian, the chief military officers of the Ming Dynasty, in Bajiazhai, Xiangle Town, Ningzhou, to break Hong Chengchou's encirclement.

The guerrilla Wang Ximing led more than 3,000 soldiers and horses to meet with Ai Wannian and Liu Chenggong and hurriedly re-encircled, but unfortunately they were not Li Zicheng's opponents, and a vicious battle Ai Wannian and his deputy general Liu Guozhen were killed, and Liu Chenggong and Wang Ximing escaped with serious injuries.

After hearing the news, Hong Chengchou, who moved to Pizhou, was worried, the emperor had already carried the black pot of Fengyang, and if he still made a mess of the battle, I am afraid that he would not have to wait for the imperial court to ride and commit suicide directly.

In the original history, among the fierce men who participated in the suppression of Kou in the eighth year of Chongzhen, there were three or four thousand Guanning iron cavalry led by Zu Kuan and Zu Dale, and there was Zuo Liangyu.

Today's history is unrecognizable, Zuo Liangyu is still being criticized and fought in the dog cage, Zu Kuan is the chief flag officer of the king of Qiongya County, and Zu Dale is the third-class deputy general of Jiannu.

Now the generals under the command of Hong Chengchou have the ability to attack Cao Wenzhao and Ma Shihu's cavalry, and Cao Wenzhao heard that his friend Ai Wannian was killed in battle, and he was furious, drew his sword and cut the ground, scolded with his eyes, and asked for his life to go on the expedition.

This fierce man was not ambiguous in killing the rogue, and he walked for three days and ran 500 miles, defeating Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang's troops.

Slowly wake up to the smell, damn it!

It seems that there are only more than 3,000 cavalry in Cao Xiaocao, we have tens of thousands of old battalion brothers, and there are also five or six thousand cavalry, as for escaping so embarrassed?

Li Zicheng was furious, he learned that the pursuit was his own tiger color change of the size of the second Cao, at this time Li Zicheng showed the true character of the hero, he decided to take the strongest of the strong, and did his best to attack Cao Wenzhao's department, and strive to eat the chasing soldiers along the way.

Li Zicheng did not make a blind arrangement, but learned from the pain based on the many defeats encountered in the battle with Cao Wenzhao's troops, and thought of concentrating troops to intercept and use people's lives to kill Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao's reliance was on more than 1,000 Guanning iron cavalry, plus one or two thousand cavalry from the border army brought from Xuanda to make a surprise attack.

Cao Wenzhao's style of play was completely copied from the Jiannu and Mongols, he used the mobility of the cavalry to constantly attack and harass, from time to time to pounce on and bite off the enemy, and when the enemy attacked in formation, he ignored it, and just turned back and ran.

There is no doubt that the rogue who is often targeted by Cao Wenzhao will collapse within a few days, because he is followed by a strong enemy and attacked from time to time and suffers heavy losses, the psychological pressure of the rogue can be imagined, and collapse is inevitable.

When the enemy was in disarray, the opportunity for Cao Wenzhao's cavalry to raid came, and for a while, the battle was won by less, and two or three thousand cavalry could defeat a rabble of thousands or even tens of thousands.

Li Zicheng believes that the reason why he can't defeat Cao Wenzhao is not because he can't reach it, but because his subordinates don't have the determination to fight.

He gave a death order, with all the old camp brothers as the main attack, set up an ambush circle, and waited for the advancing Cao Wenzhao Department, Gao Yingxiang also pressed all his main cavalry.

Li Zicheng's tactics were completely correct, they concentrated their forces on attacking other trailing officers and troops, such as the maggot of the tarsal bone, Cao Wenzhao's troops could not sit idly by, and they were bound to press the joint attack with friendly forces to attack the Liukou with all their might.

And the rogue chose to attack Cao Wenzhao's department, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, and other officers and soldiers might not go all out to rescue them, and the mobility of other units of the Ming army was not worth mentioning, and they might not be able to catch up when they thought of reinforcements.

Cao Wenzhao didn't know that Liukou had murderous intentions, so he waited to calculate his men and horses, and he didn't watch out at all.

This is also because he has been fighting with the rogues for several years, and he has been invincible and made his nerves rough, but he didn't expect the rogues to grow up in continuous failure.

Cao Wenzhao asked his nephew Cao Bianjiao to lead a thousand elite cavalry to fight in the vanguard, one of which was the chief Guan Ning Iron Cavalry.

He personally led 2,000 cavalry behind the palace, including two commanders of the Ning Iron Cavalry, and about 3,000 cavalry followed the Liukou attack all the way, and the army marched to a place called Xianzi in Hutou Town.

Li Zicheng's troops lured the enemy's ambush to burst out, cutting off the Ming army's waist, and the Liukou divided his troops and rushed with a numerical advantage.

Cao Bianjiao took the lead in the battle, killing hundreds of Li Zicheng's troops, and the rogues suddenly couldn't stand up and made a mess, and the defeated rogues fled to the eastern forest area in less than an hour.

These 10,000 rogues were actually just luring the enemy, but their rout was really not pretending, but they really couldn't beat it, and they really fled.

When it is true and false, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao did not expect that the Liukou would be waiting to beat them after the blood, and the defeat and escape of the Liukou was a good time to cover up and kill, and the uncle and nephew led three thousand cavalry to chase after them until the Diaoling Pass.

Seeing that all the cavalry of the second Cao entered the ambush circle, a drum sounded, Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang personally led the old battalion to attack, and sure enough, the team of the big and small Cao was cut into several pieces, and surrounded them separately.

It was not the first time that Cao Wenzhao was coaxed up by the rogues to make a surprise attack, he didn't care at all, he waved the horse chopping knife and went forward to chop and chop the big battle in Hutou Town.

This is the fierce general Cao Wenzhao, what happened when he was surrounded? It's right!

Cao Wenzhao was indeed very fierce, and a burst of rush actually broke Li Zicheng's encirclement, and there were more than 100 cavalry following behind him.

It's a pity that Cao Wenzhao was unlucky, and Liukou didn't have the luxury of killing Cao's cavalry in a battle.

Liukou didn't know that there was Cao Wenzhao among the cavalry who had already run out, and he saw that Cao Wenzhao would get out of danger.

At this moment, there was a sudden change, it was a small pawn under Cao Wenzhao who was caught by the rogue, he saw the majestic master of his own family, and hurriedly shouted: "General, save me!"

It's this bad thing, and it was this shout that gave Cao Wenzhao, a fierce general, his life in history.

Several of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates knew Cao Wenzhao and immediately pointed out: "The one who wields the saber is Cao Zongbing." ”

Damn, such a painstaking arrangement is to deal with Er Cao, Cao Wenzhao only has more than 100 riders left, and when will he not beat the water dog at this time?

The rogues immediately shouted in unison: "Brothers, hurry up, Cao Wenzhao is here." ”

Several of the rogue leaders who heard the shouting immediately reacted, and they shouted: "Brothers, this is a rare opportunity, don't leave Ercao, the time has come to avenge the dead brothers." Kill....... ”

Cao Wenzhao used to kill too hard, and the rogues hated it to the bone, and at this moment they were all red-eyed, and they were all afraid of death to take revenge, three layers inside and three layers outside, and the gap was blocked in an instant.

Moreover, after obtaining the exact location of Cao Wenzhao, more and more rogues participated in the encirclement and annihilation of Cao Wenzhao.
