The sound of hooves was like thunder, and more than 200 horsemen roared over, standing on a small hill four miles away from the old camp of Fan Jingwen's army. [.Lots of good]

Looking from here, the huge Nanjing barracks spread densely to the east, directly connected with Chushui

。 Red flags swaggered unscrupulously in the cold wind, and even after such a long distance, it seemed that the hula hunting and dancing sound could be heard.

"Phew!" With a bang, more than two hundred horsemen stopped their horses at the same time, and for a moment the rumbling hooves disappeared, and it was so silent that you could hear the sound of blood flowing in your ears.

The snow had already stopped, and after the New Year, the weather warmed up and it began to drizzle again. The rain fell on his face, bringing a trace of warmth.

Looking at the bare number around me, new green has sprouted, and spring seems to be coming in an instant.

Gao Yingxiang, the commander of the camp, stood at the forefront, and behind him were the most elite ironclad cavalry of the old battalion. On his side, there were several other peasant army leaders.

The rain was still pouring down, and the leaves of all the heavily armored cavalry were wet and shining with metal.

This is the most elite unit under Gao Yingxiang, and many of them are soldiers of the Shanxi and Shaanxi border armies.

Since the surrender of Gao Yingxiang, after all these years of hammering, he has already had the taste of a hundred battles. The most important thing is that as the pillar of the camp, whenever there is a capture in the army, these cavalry will be used in the first place. Up to now, the cavalry of the camp are all one man and two horses, wearing heavy armor, and the weapons in their hands are also extremely sophisticated.

At this moment, each cavalryman had an awe-inspiring look on his face, reflecting the iron light on the armor, which looked even more majestic. Since the Fengyang Incident, the peasant army has been driven to hide in Tibet by officers and soldiers. Fortunately, everyone is used to escaping, and the loss is not big. However, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Huguang were all armies of the imperial court to conquer and suppress, which can be described as nets spread on all sides and ambushed on all sides.

The space in which the peasant army was maneuvering had been greatly oppressed, and everyone knew what it meant to them to so many troops by losing their mobility. （）

Therefore, the only way out is to go east and lay down Chuzhou.

However, the beginning of this battle was extremely unfavorable, Liu Zongmin's 30,000 forward battalion was attacked by officers and soldiers at Qingliu Pass, and the whole army collapsed. Everyone knows that the officers and men are stronger than themselves, but they did not expect that the enemy they encountered this time would be so strong.

If Chuzhou cannot be taken as soon as possible, the only thing that awaits the peasant army is the annihilation of the whole army.

The yellow-skinned Zhang Xianzhong looked at the cavalry who broke into the camp, and there were bursts of strong jealousy in his heart: In this troubled world, there is such an iron cavalry, which is really enviable, why don't I have such an army? Gao Yingxiang is really lucky

！

Indeed, when the peasant army first started up, although there were many people, they were all rabble, and there was no rule in the battle. But as long as you suffer a small loss, it will suddenly disperse. It was not until after the peasant army entered Shanxi that a large number of trained soldiers of the Ming Dynasty border army joined in, and the troops began to be regularized.

Gao Yingxiang was also lucky to receive such a cavalry. In the past few years, no matter how unbearable the defeat of the peasant army was, relying on this team, he could always jump out of the encirclement at the first time.

This guy is good, but the battle is not successful, this time the forward battalion was completely beaten to the end, which caused the morale of the soldiers and horses of the seventh battalion to plummet, and the iron cavalry fell into his hands, but it was a pity.

can be the leader of the righteous army, even if he is dissatisfied with him in his heart, Zhang Xianzhong can only obey his orders.

After all, although the peasant army was numerous, everyone knew that if this battle was to be won, it would have to rely on the cavalry who broke into the camp and broke into the camp.

After all, the 3,000 cavalry under Zu Kuan, the chief soldier of the Liaodong Guanning Army in the imperial court, were not vegetarians, and in the past year, I don't know how many leaders have died under his horse's hooves.

The best way to deal with cavalry is to ride on horseback.

Ahead, the sentinels of Fan Jingwen's old camp rode back and forth on horseback, and maintained smooth communication with the Liaodong Army and the Tianxiong Army through the pontoon bridge on Chushui.

"King Chuang, Fan Jingwen's Nanjing soldiers are quite numerous!" Zhang Xianzhong said: "There are also 20,000 Tianxiong troops and 3,000 Liaodong troops behind, and the momentum of the horns has been completed." Attack one point, and the other two battalions will come to the rescue. If we attack the three battalions at the same time, our troops will be scattered, and we will not be able to clench our fists and beat people. ”

Gao Yingxiang: "Yes, it's really a bit difficult. ”

Zhang Xianzhong: "I don't quite understand King Chuang's arrangement, our army is standing in a rapid attack in this battle, why is it now setting up a large camp thirty miles away from Chuzhou to confront the enemy." After all, the enemy is an officer and soldier, and the logistical supplies can be transported endlessly, and as long as we delay for half a month, our military rations will run out, and we will really fall into the dead land of Chuzhou. ”

"That is, in my opinion, we shouldn't have attacked Chuzhou in the first place, how good it would be for us to directly lead the troops back to our hometown in Shaanxi!" The leader of a peasant army couldn't help but complain: "Liu Zongmin is incompetent, he was eaten by the forward battalion, if we are unlucky this time, we will have to blame the birdman."

。 ”

Gao Yingxiang still had a gentle face, and explained softly: "What can I do when I go back to Shaanxi, the officers and soldiers over there are powerful, and Hong Chengchou is not easy to mess with." ”

"Hmph, you are afraid of Hong Hengjiu, but we are not afraid. If it weren't for General Chuang suffering such a big loss, we wouldn't even be served by others. The man glanced unceremoniously at Li Zicheng, the intruder in the distance.

Zhang Xianzhong: "Don't talk nonsense, if something like that happens, who should you want?" "The reason why Shaanxi was lost was because Gao Jie, the most powerful general under Li Zicheng, had an affair with Li Zicheng's wife, took away half of the soldiers and horses and surrendered to the imperial court. This fact is too embarrassing, and now the old thing is brought up again, isn't that a handful of salt sprinkled on Li Zicheng's wound?

It's strange to say, Li Zicheng didn't seem to hear this, and his eyes still fell solemnly on Fan Jingwen's camp in front of him.

The commander of the peasant army probably knew that he had lost his words, and coughed awkwardly: "King Chuang, the eight kings, or let's go out with the whole army and kill Fan Jingwen's Nanjing army first." They did our forward battalion, and we will do his old battalion. ”

At this time, Li Zicheng, who had been looking at Fan Jingwen's camp, suddenly turned his head: "Do Fan Jingwen first, you can figure it out, it's not the old battalion of officers and soldiers." In this battle, in my opinion, the key lies in the Liaodong cavalry. ”

The commander of the peasant army sneered: "The key is Zu Kuan, is this really the case?" Let's go to fight the Liaodong Army, won't Fan Jingwen move, don't forget, there is also the Tianxiong Army, this year, we have a lot of brothers planted in Lu Xiangsheng's hands. In my opinion, the Tianxiong army can fight better than the Liaodong soldiers. ”

Thinking of the strength of the Tianxiong Army, this person couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Tianxiong Army, don't worry." Li Zicheng said lightly.

"Less blowing atmosphere."

Zhang Xianzhong was solemn, he also knew that the reason why Chuang Ying was the strongest and most capable of fighting in the peasant army was actually because of this Li Zicheng. On the surface, this man looks like a simple peasant, but his mind is extremely awake, and he also has a talent for fighting. Therefore, the military operations of the invading army were all carried out by this person.

On the surface, Gao Yingxiang is the master of the camp, but Li Zicheng's prestige is higher than that of King Chuang.

Zhang Xianzhong: "Brother Gao, Brother Li, do you have something to say, everyone is your own brother, this battle is what you proposed to fight, why you fight, and how to fight, I have to ask you to say it carefully."

。 ”

Gao Yingxiang nodded and glanced at Li Zicheng: "General, you can talk about it." ”

"Yes, King Chuang." Li Zicheng arched his hand, sat upright on horseback, and said loudly: "Let's start with why we want to fight Luzhou, our hometown was copied by officers and soldiers, let's not talk about it for the time being. As for why we came here, I think I know better than everyone in our hearts that we have fought all over the years, and although we have captured a lot, we can't eat gold, silver, yellow and white things. Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi are already dilapidated, and they can't support so many soldiers. If our righteous army wants to make great progress, it must occupy the southeastern land to the east. ”

"Hundreds of years ago, some people probably knew the deeds of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, if there is anything unclear, I will probably talk to you now. At that time, the Tai Group set out from Hezhou to capture Chuzhou, and then set out from Chuzhou to capture Nanjing. With the big city of Nanjing, this has swept the world and achieved a great cause. Therefore, this time our goal is not so much Chuzhou, but Nanjing. Now, the Tianxiong Army, Zu Kuan's Liaodong Army, and all the guards of Nanzhili are gathered here, as long as they are eaten, there will be no more available soldiers in the entire Southeast Imperial Court, and Nanjing will be at your fingertips. ”

Hearing Li Zicheng say that the final goal was Nanjing, everyone's faces changed drastically and they were deeply shocked.

Zhang Xianzhong looked over in surprise and took a breath of cold air: This kid has a lot of ambitions!

Someone else shouted: "Li Zicheng, what are you talking about." If you still want to eat the Tianxiong Army and the Liaodong Army, your striker Liu Zongmin's performance is not very good. If you guessed correctly, it should be Lu Xiangsheng who ate him. ”

Li Zicheng said lightly: "Liu Zongmin should have met Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army at Qingliu Pass, the general who led the troops was his former master, and he was familiar with the details of our army. Returning to the front, the Tianxiong Army looks strong on the surface, but in fact it is not impossible to defeat. Lu Xiangsheng's team looks like Huguang soldiers on the surface, but the backbone of the officers in the army are all from Hebei, and most of them are his protégés and former officials, and they are all relatives of each other. One person is killed, and the same enemy is the most difficult. But this kind of army has a weakness, it is not conducive to hard fighting, once it is frustrated and a team is defeated, everyone will run together. Then the whole army will be shaken out of control. Therefore, according to me, the Tianxiong army is not invincible, and when it fights, it needs to use some means. ”

Li Zicheng is right, everyone here is an old man, how can he not understand this truth.

But the combat effectiveness of the Tianxiong Army is too strong, although they know their weaknesses, it is not so easy to come up with this means.
