Chapter 872: Destination (2)

During the retreat, the army had just entered the territory of Shuntianfu, and Li Zicheng learned the news that the Zheng army had entered Beizhili and quickly occupied the capital.

The shock is not only written on his face, but also fermented in the depths of his heart, Li Zicheng's reaction is the same as Gu Junen, could it be that Zheng Jiajun fell from the sky, why was there not the slightest news before, you must know that the Dashun Army is in an extremely dangerous situation at the moment, there is the Eight Banners Army in the rear, and the Zheng Jiajun is in front, which is the fierce opponent of the Dashun Army.

Time is short, it is impossible to give Li Zicheng too much time to think and decide, what direction should the Dashun army withdraw from next, this is a decision that Li Zicheng must make immediately, according to rational analysis, the Dashun army should bypass the capital and return to Shanxi quickly, after all, Shanxi is still the territory of the Dashun army.

But Li Zicheng is unwilling, years of conquest and fighting, so that he has developed the character of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, the Dashun army worked hard to capture the capital, and accidentally let the Zheng family army pick up the cheap, this must not be tolerated, and he Li Zicheng entered the capital, has made all the preparations, and will soon be able to ascend the throne and become the emperor, such a wish can not be completed, is it not an irreparable regret, so he must recapture the capital.

Li Zicheng has his own judgment, the Zheng army captured the capital in such a quick time, it must be a quick raid tactic, which shows that the number of Zheng family army sergeants is not much, otherwise their whereabouts would have been exposed, since the Zheng family army is not much, the Dashun army has a great hope of recapturing the capital.

The team is rapidly evacuating, it is impossible to stop, and when the army is about to approach Xianghe, the only trace of worry left in Li Zicheng's heart is completely gone, he has to gamble, and it is impossible to turn back.

Zhao Village is fifteen miles away from Tongzhou City. A flat river, the place and its openness.

It's easy to find in an open area like Kita-Naoli, after all, most of the place is plain.

Since Li Zicheng will lead the army to evacuate in the direction of Tongzhou, it is logical that Zheng Jiajun chose to fight a decisive battle here, and Li Village is not far from the city of Tongzhou. It is conducive to the rapid deployment of the army, its open terrain ensures the fight of large groups of men and horses, and more importantly, the artillery can exert its maximum power in such a place.

Zheng Jinhong, Yang He and others had just deployed the army, and the scouts came to report that the Dashun army led by Li Zicheng had come in the direction of Tongzhou, and the speed was extremely fast, and the number of troops was about 300,000 or more.

Zheng Jinhong and Yang He didn't have time to admire Zheng Xunrui's judgment when they saw Zheng Xunrui who appeared in the Chinese military tent.

Many generals in the Chinese military tent all suggested that Zheng Xunrui return to Tongzhou City. After all, there are about 300,000 sergeants in the Dashun Army led by Li Zicheng, and they are menacing, and the situation on the battlefield is changeable, so it is not clear what will happen.

Zheng Xunrui did not leave the Zhongjun tent, since he came to Zhao Village, he would not leave.

Nearly 100,000 soldiers of the Zheng family's army, not to mention facing a 300,000 Dashun army, even if they are facing a million army. Zheng Xunrui also has enough confidence in the Zheng Jiajun that he created with his own hands. Basically bid farewell to the mode of cold weapon warfare, and changed to hot weapon warfare, and the huge advantage of hot weapons over cold weapons is not something that everyone can understand.

Seeing that Zheng Xunrui had no intention of leaving, Zheng Jinhong and the others stopped being verbose, they knew Zheng Xunrui's temper.

Zheng Jinhong briefly talked about the deployment of the big war. First of all, the Dashun army was attacked with artillery, and all 100 Hongyi cannons and 200 Furlong planes were fired, and the bombardment lasted about half an hour, and then the cavalry battalion attacked, detouring from the left and right flanks. Surround the Dashun army as much as possible, start a fight, and finally the attack of the Shenji battalion pounced on the Dashun army from the front.

The deployment is simple and straightforward, and you can remember it after listening to it once.

Zheng Xunrui nodded, and added a little opinion, that is, the time of the cavalry battalion's attack must be accurate, the powerful bombardment of artillery, I am afraid that it will make the Dashun army a mess, the cavalry battalion's attack must be decisive and fast, when the Dashun army is at a loss, give it a devastating blow, do not care how many people are killed, but to completely destroy the Dashun army from the momentum.

Zheng Jinhong and Yang He stayed, and the rest of the people all went to deploy.

"Yang He, you lead five thousand people, no matter what the situation of the battle is, your task is to kill or capture Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin alive, remember, you must not let them escape, you must see people alive or corpses."

"Zheng Jinhong, this battle is still under your command, I came to see the excitement, I won't intervene, the importance of this battle, you all know it, if we fight well, we will only have the opponent of the Eight Banners Army left."

"Li Zicheng and the Dashun army are exhausted, from the moment we occupy the capital, their destruction is already doomed, you go and prepare, I am here waiting for your good news."

Wu Sangui was also appointed as the general of the Zheng Jiajun, and all the Guanning Iron Cavalry under his command were incorporated into the Zheng Jiajun and directly participated in the Battle of Tongzhou.

I didn't see the soldiers of the Zheng family army fighting, but the momentum shown by the soldiers made Wu Sangui immediately understand that this was an invincible army, and its strong self-confidence and strong murderous aura made anyone fearful.

Wu Sangui understands even more that with 20,000 former troops, the Zheng family army was able to pass all the way and take Wuqing, Yingzhou, Tongzhou and even the capital, and there is no need to say more about the strength of its combat effectiveness.

Not only Wu Sangui, but the Guanning Iron Cavalry sergeants under his command are all a little arrogant, but after being incorporated into the Zheng family army sequence, all of them are honest, and the soldiers are like this, seeing an army that is stronger than themselves, in addition to admiration and reverence.

The sergeants who joined the Zheng family army under the command of Wu Sangui were all commanded by Hong Xintao, except for the relatively formed system of the Tie Cavalry of Jiao Ning, and the rest of the sergeants were all scattered and incorporated into the Zheng family army.

In the face of the cavalry battalion of the Zheng family's army, the first thing is to make Wu Sangui and many sergeants ashamed, the horses of the Zheng family's cavalry battalion are basically Arab horses, tall and burly, most of the war horses of the Guanning iron cavalry are Mongolian horses, which are a lot shorter, and the gap in speed is too big.

It is conceivable that if the Guanning Iron Cavalry met the cavalry battalion of the Zheng Family's army, they would only be beaten.

The neatness and uniformity of the actions of the cavalry battalion of the Zheng family army made Wu Sangui and the sergeants under his command look out of their eyes, when the cavalry battalion assembled, there was almost no sound, it looked very quiet, and the murderous aura contained in it was breathless.

Even the earliest and most courageous Guanning Iron Rider could not do this.

This made Wu Sangui completely convinced, no wonder Zheng Jiajun scared so many people.

There are also Huang Degong and Li Dingguo and others who feel unusual.

Both of them participated in the battle, and they were both members of the 20,000 people in the former army, and the Zheng Jiajun cleanly took Wuqing, Yingzhou and Tongzhou, which made them feel incredible, and took the capital in one day, which made them feel that it was a miracle.

The so-called black and close to Zhu Zhered, although they have only been in the Zheng family army for a few months, under hearing and witnessing, the military discipline and military regulations of the Zheng family army have produced obvious effects on the two of them, Huang Degong is a general, Li Dingguo is a guerrilla general, both of them are led by the Zheng family army soldiers, every time they fight, the two are in the front, not to mention them, sometimes, Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Hong Xintao and other general soldiers and deputy general soldiers are in the front.

It was not long before they entered the Zheng family's army, but the potential of the two was fully stimulated, and they fought bravely on the battlefield without fear, and their understanding also changed fundamentally, thinking that they were part of the Zheng family's army, and they must safeguard the honor of the Zheng family, and they must not have any behavior to discredit the Zheng family.

Wu Sangui, Huang Degong, and Li Dingguo were all assigned to the cavalry battalion, and they would take the lead in killing them after the artillery battalion bombarded them.

In the midst of the intense preparation process, Wu Sangui met Huang Degong.

The two are not particularly familiar, but they have met in the capital before, and there is still a trace of impression.

The general army of the Ming Dynasty holds the army, most of them are a little arrogant, this time Wu Sangui saw Huang Degong, he was surprised, he could not see any arrogance from Huang Degong's body, and the aura he showed was exactly the same as that of the Zheng family soldiers, no difference.

This made Wu Sangui a little frightened, you must know that Huang Degong used to be the chief soldier of Zhejiang, and he was also a figure on the powerful side, after entering the Zheng family's army, he changed so much, such a situation can only be said to be a miracle.

The two had a brief conversation for a few words, Wu Sangui's situation, Huang Degong knows, as the general of the Zheng family's army, he participates in every battle discussion, and also knows Zheng Xunrui's attitude towards Wu Sangui, so Huang Degong specifically warned Wu Sangui, Zheng Jiajun's military discipline and military regulations are particularly strict, and they must not be violated, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law, no matter what your identity is, secondly, join the Zheng family's army, understand one thing, military orders are like a mountain, everything must be done in accordance with the requirements of the superiors, Fight bravely on the battlefield and do your best in your training on weekdays, only in this way can you truly gain a foothold in the Zheng family's army.

Of course, fighting with the army, the mood is comfortable, any soldier looks forward to winning the battle, but the Zheng family army wins every battle.

Wu Sangui firmly remembered Huang Degong's words, he is no longer the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, his current identity is the general of the Zheng family, and he is also a general who is not qualified, after all, he has not participated in a battle of the Zheng family, and he has not shown his own ability, so the soldiers below such a general will not be convinced.

Wu Sangui secretly swore that in the next battle, he must charge at the forefront, show his ability, and let himself really gain a foothold in the Zheng family army and truly integrate into the Zheng family army. (To be continued.) )
