In the upper reaches of Chushui, Li Zicheng stood on a small hill, moving his palms that had been numb by the wind.

What kind of hands were they, full of thick calluses, cracked by the cold northwest wind, crisscrossed with fine bloody mouths

。 As soon as I relaxed, there was a faint tingling pain.

However, this feeling made him slightly happy in his heart, it hurts, and the pain means that his hand is not stiff, and he can still hold the reins of the horse and hold the knife.

Behind him is a small forest, on a cold day, the leaves are still green, and after a few days of rain, it makes people look at it and like it.

This southern tree is really good, no matter how cold the day is, it will not drop leaves, unlike Shaanxi, when it is winter, the eyes are full of earthy yellow, and people's eyes are dry.

This woods are just right for cavalry ambushes.

In the woods, all the horses were on their bridle and lay on the ground.

Two thousand cavalrymen took off their big hats and covered them on their horses to keep these big beasts warm.

These two thousand cavalrymen were the most elite soldiers in the army, and many of them were surrendered Shanxi border troops and had rich combat experience. Even if he is a knight from the peasant army, who is not a warrior who survived in the sea of corpses and blood.

This is the essence of my camp, and it is the most precious belongings that King Gao Chuang has accumulated little by little over the years. He has a good saying: "I broke into the camp and now there are tens of thousands, and at the time of the largest number of people, there are even 100,000, but so what, when I encounter the officers and soldiers, they are not scattered as soon as they rush." However, even if all the troops are wiped out, as long as this cavalry is present, it will still not hurt the skin. ”

That's right, it is precisely because of this cavalry that our army can calmly break through and transfer at every critical moment. As for the foot soldiers, if they are lost, they will be lost, as long as they are still there, there are homeless people everywhere in this world, as long as they throw out a big cake, or light up the knife, there are as many people as they want.

In this Chuzhou War, King Gao Chuang really spent a lot of money, and even this kind of elite troops were willing to take it out to fight with the Guanning army. You know, people are also cavalry, and they are not so easy to deal with.

Li Zicheng looked at Tian Jianxiu, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang and others around him, these are all the leading generals in the camp, and today, King Gao Chuang has also sent all of them, which shows the importance of this battle.

The winner who decided the final thought of the Chuzhou War was actually here.

At this time, any idea of preserving strength is self-defeating.

Today's rebel army seems to have a large number of soldiers on the surface, but in fact, it has reached a critical juncture of life and death

。

From the Fengyang Incident last year to the present, although the power of the rebel army has swelled many times, the seven main forces are also in one place. However, the room for maneuver is much smaller, and it is compressed into a narrow area on the border between Henan and Nanjing. In such a small place, there is simply no way to feed so many soldiers, it must be east, .cc[marshmallow]

According to the ideas of King Gao Chuang and the Eight Great Kings, first take down a few big cities, replenish military resources and grain, and then Xu Wei made a plan. But in fact, they overestimated the ability of the righteous army to attack fortifications, and Luzhou, Luzhou could not be defeated; and the state, and the state is also gnawing on it; In Jiangpu, it was even more bloody. So far, there is only one way to take Chuzhou.

As long as Chuzhou is captured, it can be used as a stronghold, and Zhu Yuanzhang will take Nanjing by taking advantage of the situation and then sweeping the world.

But if they are defeated again, they will be surrounded by enemy troops, and the momentum of a great encirclement has already been achieved. In the core ruling area of the Ming Dynasty, there is no way out.

If this person has a heart of enthusiasm and is in a desperate situation, he will always give it a go, and there will be warriors and heroes who will take advantage of the situation. In recent years, there has been a severe drought in Shanxi every year, and the people have been severely affected. But the imperial court not only did not give relief, but redoubled the expropriation and expropriation. Not only that, but many grassroots organizations have also been abolished.

At that time, Li Ziwei was a small post minister, and it was said that it was also a task in the system, although the monthly income was not much, but he was still able to barely make ends meet. Later, in order to save the beginning, the imperial court abolished all the post stations. If there is no food to eat, he will naturally rebel. A good man, with hands and feet, how can he starve to death in vain, isn't that a joke?

The peasant army has been revolting for so many years, and I don't know how many relatives, friends and brothers died under the saber of the imperial court, and the two sides can be said to have a deep hatred like the sea.

In this battle, the peasant army has no way to retreat, and if it takes Chuzhou, there may be hope for survival. If you lose, there is only one dead word.

Li Zicheng and the others stood on the hill and turned their heads to look at the battlefield, but there was endless beacon smoke over there.

The shouts came, and the crowd of black pressure was greater than one wave, and the formation of the Nanjing army of the Ming Dynasty was already chaotic.

Li Zicheng smiled faintly: "Look at the appearance, King Chuang and the Eight Kings have done a good job." Hehe, Fan Jingwen, I want to give our army a last battle, but I don't want to run into our mourning army. ”

Tian Jianxiu: "Our army won. ”

Gao Yigong also laughed: "The general trend of the Nanjing Army has gone

。 ”

Li Zicheng shook his head: "This is just the beginning, the key is still on us and Guan Ningjun." ”

As he was talking, in the distance, a boundless group of cavalry appeared on the other side of Chushui, and the horses' hooves rumbled, shaking the ground for a while, and even the huge noise on the battlefield over there seemed to be covered by the sound of horses' hooves.

"Guan Ning Army, Guan Ning Army!" There are detectives who can't stop reporting.

"It's our turn." Li Zicheng nodded and waved his hand to the back.

Behind him, two thousand cavalrymen pulled the horses up from the ground at the same time, and then quickly saddled the horses with their hands and feet, and put iron armor on their bodies.

Suddenly, a group of cavalry lined up in a neat line, slowly came out of the woods, and marched forward with small steps.

The most elite unit of the peasant army was mobilized at this moment.

Li Zicheng rode a horse and walked at the forefront, letting the cold wind blow his face like a pinprick pain, but there was a peace in his heart.

This battle of Chuzhou is really too important, and the rebels have already paid a lot of price. Liu Zongmin's forward battalion was also defeated by a single blow, and even his own righteous son died in the chaos.

If this battle could not be won, would the blood of Li Guo and his brothers be shed in vain?

No, when others mention the Guanning Iron Cavalry, their faces are pale with fright, but in my opinion, in fact, what is the difference between them and other officers and soldiers, they are just characters who bully the weak and fear the hard, and they only know how to bully the infantry with backward equipment.

But as long as you encounter hard stubble and suffer a small loss, you will escape faster than anyone else. I heard from the veterans of the border army that when they were in Liaodong, the Guanning army met Jiannu and became soft eggs.

Okay, today I, Li Zicheng, ride by horse, to see who can endure casualties, and who is more bloodthirsty.

As soon as Li Zicheng's cavalry was dispatched, Guan Ningjun also discovered them at the first time.

Both sides lined up at the same time, slowly pressing towards each other.

Until a distance of 100 meters, a shout was uttered at the same time, raising the speed of the horses to the highest level, and they slammed into each other in the water that had almost dried up.
