When Li Zicheng said this, his face exuded a strong confidence

。

Zhang Xianzhong's expression was solemn: "Brother Li, you go on, how to fight this battle?" ”

Li Zicheng pointed to Fan Jingwen's camp in front of him, which looked like a behemoth, with a horsewhip: "Fan Jingwen's department, there are 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it seems to be the most powerful on the surface. However, in a certain eye, it is a local chicken and a dog, which is not worth mentioning. In fact, all the leaders know what kind of virtue the imperial guards are. It is not difficult to take this large battalion, as long as you concentrate the troops and horses, even if you use people to pile up, you can pile up this victory. ”

"The crux of the matter is that if we attack Fan Jingwen's department, we must guard against Zu Kuan's cavalry and Tianxiong army to help, and when the time comes, we will be dumplings made by them."

"Yes, that's right." All the leaders nodded at the same time.

Li Zicheng: "So, our real target in this battle is Zu Kuan." ”

He waved his whip fiercely in the direction of the Great Spear Lingzu Kuan Battalion: "Defeat the Guan Ning Army, and the Tianxiong Army will inevitably be terrified." This army can be said to be invincible in the world when fighting a good battle. Once they have the upper hand, there is no chance that you will turn the tables around. But if it doesn't go well, it will collapse immediately. ”

Someone interjected: "Isn't that the same as ours?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the leaders couldn't help but laugh. In fact, who is not like this in the army of this era? Our eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, they are all all the way.

Zhang Xianzhong was thoughtful and shouted: "Don't make trouble, listen to Brother Li." ”

Li Zicheng: "My plan with King Chuang is that after three days, the eldest brother will lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack Fan Jingwen's old camp, don't beat him too hard at the beginning, and leave some strength." I personally led the cavalry to set up an ambush in the upper reaches of Chushui and intercepted the cavalry that came to aid Guanning. ”

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng must take the main force of the Tianxiong Army to rescue Fan Jingwen. After I defeat Zu Kuan, I will naturally come south smoothly. I also know that his cavalry is not a man who likes to fight tough battles. In the past, we used to use cavalry to bully our foot soldiers, and to be honest, we were also afraid of cavalry at the beginning, and we refused to fight with them. Up to now, the Guan Ning army is very arrogant and extremely light on the enemy. ”

"This time he was riding against riding, and he was bound to be unprepared. I didn't expect that we would give him a hard-fought battle, and he would inevitably retreat to preserve his strength as soon as he made contact. Anyway, in addition to them, there are tens of thousands of Tianxiong troops and Nanjing soldiers, and it is better to shed their own blood than the blood of other friendly troops. ”

But the retreat of the Liaodong Army had a serious consequence

。 Fan Jingwen had already collapsed in front, and if the Guanning cavalry retreated, the Tianxiong army would inevitably think that it had suffered an unprecedented defeat, and it would also turn around and flee. Hehe, when this battle is fought, there is no suspense. ”

The more Zhang Xianzhong listened, the more shocked he became, and Li Zicheng's arrangement could be realized. Speaking of which, there is nothing surprising about his set of tactics, but it is just dividing troops to attack, fighting with the enemy in a team, calmly and steadily, without any tricks, but if you think about it carefully, you don't care about it, in the final analysis, it is a psychological war with the enemy. （）

The key is that this general is usually not open-mouthed, but once he commands the army, he calculates the psychology of the enemy army to the bones.

This person's future achievements must be insignificant.

Most of the peasant army commanders used to be rude farmers, and they didn't know anything about the art of war. Immediately, some people were unconvinced: "After talking for a long time, we don't understand, you are so capable and shrewd in the camp, how can you still have a big defeat in Qingliuguan?" ”

Someone else pulled the words back.

Li Zicheng saw that everyone was still a little unconvinced, and his tone was even more tranquil: "The defeat of Qingliuguan was due to our army's rash advance, and this is a big loss. However, in my opinion, this battle was well lost. ”

Everyone was in an uproar: "Li Zicheng, we can't understand what you say, why did you lose the battle and be demoralized?" ”

Li Zicheng was still impassive, as if he was commenting on something that had nothing to do with him: "Over the past year, although our righteous army has suffered many great losses at the hands of officers and soldiers, it has been driven all over the world. But everyone doesn't think there's anything bad, anyway, we all lose more than we win or win more for the officers and soldiers on the top, and it doesn't hurt to lose for a while...... But ......"

"However, after this defeat, we suddenly found that Lu Xiangsheng not only came quickly, but also had very elite troops. Fortunately, we didn't rush the army forward and went straight to Chuzhou. Otherwise, if we attack the fortified city, the soldiers will be tired, and the enemy will attack from all sides, and we will all die without a place to bury, and we will no longer be able to afford to be defeated. ”

He paused, and his voice became sonorous: "Therefore, the plan to seize Chuzhou first now seems to be undoubtedly self-defeating. Even if we take that city and have Lu Xiangsheng here, we won't be able to defend it. But if we defeat Lu Xiangsheng's army, Chuzhou is ours. ”

Hearing Li Zicheng say this, his expression was dazed at the same time: "Brother Li is right, it's really true." ”

Zhang Xianzhong: "I think Brother Li's plan is feasible, so let's do it?" What do you mean? ”

Gao Yingxiang: "Fight."

。 ”

"Respect the king, the order of the eight kings!" Now, Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang have the strongest troops, since these two decided to do so, everyone nodded and went down to prepare.

The date of the general attack was set for three days later, and it was a hard-fought battle, because the defeat at Qingliuguan showed the combat effectiveness of the officers and troops of the peasant army, and the battle plan offered by Li Zicheng was very safe, and to a certain extent, even conservative.

In the final analysis, his tactics were to fight with the Ming army for casualties, and in the end, he couldn't hold on and his morale collapsed.

In fact, the Chuzhou War in real history was actually not very long, and the process was very simple.

During the Spring Festival of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the peasant army stormed Chuzhou and took the city, but it paid a great price.

Lu Xiangsheng and Fan Jingwen came to help, taking advantage of the opportunity of Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong to storm Chuzhou, they first sent troops to copy the rear road of the peasant army and laid a net.

After the peasant army took Chuzhou, it was exhausted, and found that it had fallen into encirclement, its morale collapsed, and it was completely annihilated by Lu Xiangsheng.

This battle was the culmination of Lu Xiangsheng's military career, showing a keen judgment of the battle situation and an extremely clever skill in coordinating and integrating soldiers and horses from all walks of life.

However, in this time and space, in order to grab merit, Sun Yuan raided Liu Zongmin's forward battalion, so that the peasant army could feel the strength of the officers and soldiers who came to help, and he also knew that even if he took Chuzhou now, it would be meaningless to the entire war. Therefore, he put down the urgent noise in his heart and decided to solve Lu Xiangsheng first.

There is a cloud in the art of war, and there is no city to defend without help.

As long as the imperial reinforcements are defeated, Chuzhou will naturally ripen.

In this way, in real history, Lu Xiangsheng took advantage of the peasant army to storm Chuzhou, and the plan to put the peasant army in his pocket naturally could not be implemented.

Now, only the confrontation of the armies remains, the duel of the righteous divisions.

A different history, a different Chuzhou War began.
