Let Yang Yishan take office in Nanjing, basically protect him, in this way, if you don't deal with Yang Yishan, you won't be able to deal with Zhang I continued, anyway, Yue Su doesn't want to deal with him, he doesn't say a word about him, you kid will continue to thousand

However, Zhu Xieyuan died of illness, the governor of Sichuan had to be found to fill in, Chen Qiyu was promoted to the governor of the three sides, and the vacant governor of Yansui also had to be found to fill in for these two official positions

For Yang Yishan's disposal, Qingliu and the low-level officials of the Donglin Party were naturally dissatisfied, saying that it was a serious crime and a light sentence, but the excerpt entered the celebrant supervisor, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response to this year, the official and Qingliu pointed and scolded to earn eyeballs, and the clanging of the poor family depended on two mouths, from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, which official did not participate, so there is no need to take this kind of thing to heart, you can scold you if you are happy, and it will stop when you are tired

Needless to say, the saliva of the Beijing division was transmitted to Shaanxi, Chen Qiyu replaced Yang Yishan and was promoted to the governor of the three sides, and Yang Yishan took office on the same day with the guards, and made a detour to Nanjing to take office

Speaking of Chen Qiyu, after taking over as the governor of the three sides, he immediately mobilized Yansui soldiers and horses, and together with the existing soldiers and horses in Shaanxi, the troops attacked Chang'an

Li Zicheng is a rogue, he can't defend the city, once it is surrounded, it is really no food and grass inside, there is no rescue outside, and Russia has to starve to death, so Li Zicheng heard that Chen Qiyu's soldiers and horses were outflanked in several ways and hurriedly studied the escape route

Chen Qiyu's main force of soldiers and horses is from Yan'an, so they can't flee to the north, once they meet head-on, it will be unlucky, but now if they want to go from Hanzhong, it obviously won't work, because Hanzhong was recently taken by Zuo Liangyu, Chen Cang in the west, and Weinan in the south, there are officers and soldiers, although there are fewer soldiers in Weinan, they may not be able to fight, but they will be Tongguan in the back, and if they want to flee to Henan, they must pass through Tongguan, and they can't fight with the officers and soldiers there

Thinking about it, it seems that there are only two ways, one is to run back to Sichuan, the other is to ask the Liukou from Sichuan to come and help, and the second opportunity is obviously not working, it seems that the only way to escape is to Sichuan

Anyway, a lot of food and ordnance were grabbed in Chang'an, and their soldiers and horses were strong enough to go to Hanzhong, so let's go in the direction of Jinzhou Li Zicheng led the army straight to the southeast, and Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses were running from Jinzhou to Chang'an, because there were only 5,000 enters, and they didn't dare to go directly to Chang'an

Of course, Li Zicheng also knew that Cao Wenzhao was here, but he had no choice, he went somewhere else, and he couldn't escape if he won the battle, unless he went north, defeated Chen Qiyu's main force, and then rushed into Shanxi, but this is too unrealistic, Chen Qiyu has more than 50,000 under his command, and he has 30,000, which has to meet Chen Qiyu, and it is not clear who killed whom

So, Li Zicheng also plans to fight, and Cao Wenzhao bumped into it, you can't let you scare 30,000 troops to kill to Zhashui, Cao Wenzhao got the return of the exploration horse, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, his five thousand strong soldiers, even if they meet the Jurchens, they can fight, not to mention that Cao Wenzhao is divided into two ways at the moment, and his nephew Cao Bianjiao led an army of 1,000 and ambushed in the east of Zhashui

It's a pity that Cao Wenzhao didn't expect that Li Zicheng who is dying today is no longer the Li Zicheng of the past, his soldiers and horses do not coerce the people, there is no rabble in it, and most of them are strong, and there is a regular army-like establishment, strict combat discipline, compared to other rogues, I don't know how much stronger In addition, Li Zicheng also has Li Yan and Niu Jinxing to give advice, and it is no longer that kind of reckless hard fight

Niu Jinxing suggested to Li Zicheng, let's now, we want soldiers to have soldiers, food to have food, equipment to have equipment, although Cao Wenzhao is brave, but there is no need to be afraid that as long as he has a good command, he will be able to win at the moment, he planned for Li Zicheng's march, and arranged a nine-palace array, so as to march, and Cao Wenzhao can fight a battle

The palace is in front, by the general Liu Zongmin led 3,000 horses to sit in the Zhen Palace, Kan Palace is separated from the two wings of the palace, respectively, by the general Gao Yigong, Hao Shaoqi led the army of 3,000 to sit in the palace is the middle palace, Li Zicheng led 6,000 horses to sit in the town, in the middle of the command; The two wings of the middle palace are the Gen Palace and the Imperial Palace, these two palaces are led by Li Guo and Li Yan with 3,000 troops to sit in the middle palace and then are the Qiangong, and the general Tian Jianxiu leads 3,000 troops to sit in the town, Kun Palace and Xun Palace are separated on both sides of the Qiangong, respectively, by the general Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi to lead 3,000 troops to sit in the town

This nine-palace array is varied, one palace is in difficulty, the nearby three palaces can be immediately supported, immediately respond, and can be outflanked, everything moves with the order flag, even if Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses have a deep understanding, there is no need to be afraid

Li Zicheng thinks it is feasible, when he is young, he will gather all the generals, drill each palace in the formation, the outermost soldiers and horses are all shield soldiers, the inner pikemen arch guard, the innermost archers, all actions, the palace order flag commands such a large array, if you want to act, it is not an overnight thing, but the time for Liu Kou Li Zicheng is really not much, because if Chen Qiyu's soldiers and horses are killed, they will be surrounded by all sides, and they can't go if they want to, so they only practiced five times, although they were a little hasty, but they finally had an appearance, according to the memorization of the flag, what to do when the time comes, Just do it

Deploy this Nine Palaces Great Array, you need a lot of equipment, shields, spears are indispensable, this is really a loss in Chang'an City, looted something, and equipped 20,000 yuan is enough

Li Zicheng got the news that Chen Qiyu's soldiers and horses had arrived in Tongchuan, not far from Chang'an, Li Zicheng did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered the whole army to move forward

A few days later, the Liukou army and Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses met in Zhashui, Cao Wenzhao led the army to set up a formation, but at a glance at the formation of the Liukou army, he was a little stunned when he landed on the opposite side, needless to say, the Liukou formation was neat, and it was well-equipped, not only weapons, but also armor

Cao Wenzhao gasped, he didn't give the order to attack immediately, he still had been in the battle formation for a long time, and knew that if he rushed now, the other party would defend in formation, and he would suffer a loss, so he wanted to wait for the other party to move the other party first, Bi Jing is rogue is rogue, when he stood firm, the formation was neat, and when he advanced, it would inevitably be chaotic, and when he caught the flaws, it would not be too late to attack

In order to command, the Liukou specially built a command platform that was more than one step high, and eight horses were used to pull Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing all on the platform, seeing that Cao Wenzhao did not take the initiative to attack, Li Zicheng asked: "Military Division, what should we do now?" ”

"The chasing troops are behind, Hanzhong and Shangluo's horses will inevitably approach this side, Cao Wenzhao can defend and delay time, but our army can't, only one way forward, but we can't charge the whole army, so as not to mess up the position, so that the officers and soldiers can take advantage of it, only step by step, slowly move forward" said, Niu Jinxing picked up the red flag, Li Zicheng immediately understood, took it, and shook it forward

The red flag moved, this is the whole army to move forward with the order of the nine palace soldiers and horses, together slowly advancing this formation has just been trained, fortunately on weekdays, if there is an open place, also set up a formation to march, this time to meet the enemy, it is still a law to walk, on the footsteps, after all, it is impossible to reach an agreement, the more you go forward, the more chaotic, and it can only be said that you are barely in formation

Cao Wenzhao has been in battle for a long time, and quickly saw that this is the formation that Liukou has just rehearsed, and it is still very rusty and has not been formed, and if they let them go for a while, it will definitely be chaotic, and they can't let the other party get too close, their own soldiers and horses are cavalry, if there is no sprint distance, the power will not be shown at all

Therefore, he waited for Liukou to take fifty steps forward, then waved the broadsword in his hand, and shouted, "Brothers, follow me."

Cao Wenzhao led his troops to fight, and he has always been the first soldier, so the troops are very brave, and it can be said that they are competing for the first place plus the cavalry is the mainstay, and the combat effectiveness is strong

Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses are charging head-on, in front of him, it is Liu Zongmin's palace Liu Zongmin has always been fierce, can be described as the number one fierce general under Li Zicheng, martial arts are still above Li Guo, second only to Li Zicheng The soldiers who followed him, all of them are elites, seeing the Ming army's horse team rushing forward, I was also a little scared in my heart, but no one dared to retreat without authorization

Liu Zongmin is clenching his fists tightly now, he knows how powerful Cao Wenzhao is, he has been defeated by Cao Wenzhao several times, and now that they meet again, it is inevitable that they will be a little nervous, but they are more excited

"Release the arrows" Seeing that before the examination of the officers and soldiers, Liu Zongmin shouted

As soon as the voice fell, the archers who had already prepared in the formation directly released their arrows and wanted to shoot them in the air

"Whoosh" ...... The feather arrows pierced the sky, followed by raindrops, and fell downwards Unfortunately, Cao Wenzhao's cavalry was all covered with armor, even if it was not iron armor, or ordinary armor, it was not easy to shoot through, and there were those who were unlucky, and the arrow was wounded, or lost their lives, but there were really few of them

After the feather arrows were fired, the horse team of the officers and soldiers also rushed to the front, which depends on the quality of the infantry, the shield soldiers closed their eyes, gritted their teeth, and the shields of this can be as high as one entry, which is specially used to deal with the cavalry charging formation, and the spears are also, they can be more than one zhang long, and next to a shield, five or six spears must be exposed

Cao Wenzhao attacked the front, and immediately found that it was difficult to kill, so he could only circle around the phalanx, and couldn't think of any good way to tear open the gap Cao Wenzhao personally slipped around twice, this kung fu, the Chinese army showed the blue and yellow flags, and the Kan Palace and Zhen Palace on both wings of the Dui Palace slowly leaned towards the Dui Palace

Seeing such a scene, Cao Wenzhao understood that there was a high level in the Liukou army, and he was not capable of the enemy, otherwise he would have to be here for a long time to roll on the battlefield, knowing what it means to advance and retreat, the big knife shook in the air, and shouted, "Collect the troops, withdraw."
