Chapter 726: Heavenly Jealousy (2)
In the rumbling sound of war drums, He Renlong took the lead, braving the rain of arrows under the pressure of black, and charged forward.
The battle had already begun, and what made Sun Chuanting extremely excited was that he actually saw Li Zicheng in the Liukou team.
The portraits of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others, after the careful depiction of the imperial painters, were distributed to various places, as the secretary of the military department and the governor of the five provinces, although Sun Chuanting, although he had not seen Li Zicheng with his own eyes, but Li Zicheng's portrait had been engraved into his heart, and he could be determined immediately when he saw Li Zicheng himself through the monoculars at this moment.
Unexpectedly, in this battle, he could see Li Zicheng, the biggest leader of the Liukou.
Sun Chuanting's heart instantly appeared with a passionate fighting spirit, you must know that as the battle continued, Li Zicheng, who had rebelled for more than ten years, was already living in a simple house, and did not participate in many battles, although he was encircled and suppressed several times, and sometimes even on the verge of being exterminated, Li Zicheng was still able to survive tenaciously and develop rapidly.
To a large extent, the battle to exterminate the Liukou was a battle to capture or kill Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and others.
The opportunity has appeared, and it is impossible for Sun Chuanting not to be excited.
He Renlong, who was like a rainbow, led the officers and soldiers to quickly tear open a huge opening, and the charging officers and soldiers were like a red wave, devouring everything around, and the rogues who desperately resisted were obviously powerless and began to retreat one after another.
Sun Chuanting kept holding a monocular, staring at Li Zicheng.
There is a middle-aged man beside Li Zicheng, who approaches Li Zicheng from time to time to talk, the middle-aged man's round face, a pair of eyes are deep and cunning, this is not Gu Junen, who is it.
Putting down the monoculars, Sun Chuanting gave an order to the heralds beside him.
"Order Zuo Liangyu to lead two thousand sergeants to break off the rear and guard everything around. The rest of the sergeants all charged and killed the enemy......"
As the order was given, more intensive drums sounded, and more sergeants braved the rain of arrows to rush towards the Liukou......
Li Zicheng was very calm, but Gu Junen beside him was a little anxious.
After experiencing too many battles, Li Zicheng had long developed the temperament of not being surprised by changes, and the battle situation in front of him was very unfavorable for the righteous army. Although the number of officers and soldiers who charged was superior, the momentum of the charge was terrifying, and the soldiers of the righteous army could not resist it at all, and the battle had just begun, and they were in a situation of defeat and retreat.
This was expected by Li Zicheng, and it was also unexpected by him.
After many years of fighting with the official army, Li Zicheng is familiar with the combat effectiveness of the official army, and there are not many really strong officers and soldiers, of course, Zheng Jiajun cannot be counted among them. If it was Zheng Jiajun who charged on the opposite side, Li Zicheng would have evacuated the battle long ago.
In addition to the Zheng family's army, Li Zicheng was most impressed by Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenzhao, the Guangning Iron Cavalry led by him, was indeed brave, and the momentum of his charge could not be stopped. The sergeants of the Righteous Army trembled when they heard the names of Cao Wenzhao and Guan Ning Tieqi. However, even the incomparably brave Cao Wenzhao was still killed at the hands of the righteous army, and from that time on, Li Zicheng's views on the official army have undergone subtle changes.
The officers and soldiers who charged this time had a trace of courage from the Guangning Iron Cavalry, but they were still not as good as the Guangning Iron Cavalry.
Not sure why. Looking at the officers and soldiers who were charging and fighting, Li Zicheng suddenly thought of the Zheng family, the Zheng family army is the nightmare of the righteous army, as long as the righteous army faces the Zheng family army, all they encounter are fiascos. Several battles, if the situation did not change, the rebel army was likely to be completely wiped out by the Zheng army, so many leaders of the rebel army in the Xingyang Conference that year, most of them were captured and killed by the Zheng army, in which, Li Zicheng will not forget Kuizhou and Banzhou in Sichuan back then.
A hint of coldness flashed in Li Zicheng's eyes.
"Mr. Gu, let's see if you let Zong Min attack."
"King Chuang, I thought I was not in a hurry for the time being, the official army was in full swing, at this time, General Liu attacked, and encountered a vicious battle, I am afraid that it will be difficult to really defeat the official army."
"But Zong Min didn't move, and the brothers suffered a lot of losses."
"King Chuang, you should avoid it for the time being, I found that the official army is killing in this direction, they obviously found out about King Chuang, it is better to avoid it."
"Mr. Gu, what is this, I don't know how much bigger the danger we encountered in the past......"
The two were talking, and the drums suddenly intensified.
A sergeant rushed over to give the report.
"Report, the officers and troops have launched an all-out charge."
Li Zicheng waved the horsewhip in his hand, turned his head and spoke to Gu Junen.
"I think I can launch a general attack."
Gu Junen nodded, since the official army has launched a general attack, the opportunity is ripe, after all, the soldiers of the righteous army who are waiting in the camp and participating in the fight are not elites, and the elites with strong combat ability are all commanded by Liu Zongmin.
Li Zicheng faced the herald and spoke with a serious face.
"Order Liu Zongmin, launch an attack, be sure to completely surround the official army, no matter how brave the official army is, you must persevere, no matter how big the loss is in this battle, I don't want the number of casualties, what I want is to completely defeat the official army."
When the earth began to tremble, Sun Chuanting was slightly stunned.
However, in about two minutes, a large number of rogues suddenly appeared in front and back.
The herald came to Sun Chuanting breathlessly.
"Report to the commander, the rogue has launched a general attack......"
Sun Chuanting held a monocular, constantly looking at the situation around him, and let the herald kneel on the ground.
At this moment, Sun Chuanting already had an ominous premonition in his heart, the Liukou launched a full-scale attack, which was expected by him, and he was also clear about the large number of Liukou, these things had been prepared for a long time, but the Liukou who launched the charge this time was completely different from the Liukou who fought before, which was surprising.
In the previous fight, the rogues had reservations, and this time they showed their real strength.
This shows that the rogue has been prepared for a long time.
At this moment, a lot of things were like a frozen picture, floating through Sun Chuanting's mind, there were nearly 200,000 rogues outside the Kaifeng Mansion City, surrounded by layers of layers, how could the scouts sent by Wu Fu kill a bloody way, unless it was the deliberate negligence of the Liukou, the purpose was to let them come to report the news and urge the army to go to Kaifeng Mansion to help.
Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting's body trembled slightly.
He put down his monoculars and spoke to the herald, who was still on his knees.
"Order all the soldiers to fight with the rogues at all costs, and never retreat without an order, go and ask Zuo Liangyu to come to me quickly, go quickly."
Zuo Liangyu came to Sun Chuanting and spoke breathlessly.
"My lord, the rogues have blocked our retreat, and I have ordered the sergeants to scout closely and be ready to fight at any time."
Sun Chuanting's face turned pale, but his words were still very calm.
"General Soldier Zuo, you lead the sergeant to disperse the rogue behind the army as quickly as possible, our retreat can not be blocked by the rogue bandits, there are many rogue bandits, obviously we have been prepared for a long time, we may have been ambushed, but the combat effectiveness of the rogue is not strong, we can still resist it, once the retreat route is opened, you quickly send the sergeant to report."
Just as Zuo Liangyu was about to leave, Sun Chuanting added a sentence.
"Remember, no matter what it takes, it's important to get the way."
The tragic fighting is unbearable to witness.
Although the number was obviously at a disadvantage, the strength of the sergeant made Sun Chuanting still slightly relieved.
It was also at this time that something that worried Sun Chuanting appeared, and a drizzle suddenly fell from the sky.
Although the rain is not heavy, it still has a great impact on the sergeants, you must know that most of Sun Chuanting's commands are cavalry, and the rain will cause the roads to be muddy, making it difficult for the war horses to move, and nearly 200,000 people have been killed, and the ground has been trampled countless times, plus the rain that falls, it will soon become difficult to walk.
If it was a decisive battle with the Liukou, Sun Chuanting didn't care, but at this time he was ready to evacuate, Zuo Liangyu was leading the sergeants to fight the Liukou, trying to open a passage so that the army could evacuate smoothly.
Could it be that God is helping the rogues?
Looking at the heavier and heavier rain, Li Zicheng showed a rare smile on his face.
At the beginning of the battle, Li Zicheng's face has always been grim, he didn't expect the officers and soldiers to be so strong, in the case of a small number, they are still fighting desperately, the rebel sergeants led by Liu Zongmin are desperate, but they can't take any advantage, if it weren't for Gu Junen's dissuasion, Li Zicheng would have ordered all the rebel sergeants in the camp to participate in the battle.
The scouts in charge of reconnaissance came several times to report, the rebel sergeants who blocked the retreat of the officers and troops suffered heavy losses, and the officers and soldiers were fighting desperately, trying to open the way to retreat, Li Zicheng's recovery was very simple, even if there was only the last person left, he had to hold on, and he must not let the officers and soldiers escape.
Heavy rain was not very beneficial for the sergeants of the rebel army, but for the officers and soldiers, the disadvantage was even greater.
Li Zicheng already knew that the officers and soldiers were thinking about evacuating, that is to say, the officers and soldiers who were fighting desperately might not be able to support it for a long time, but at this time, the rain came, and it was getting heavier and heavier.
The roads had begun to become muddy, and in such a situation, it was almost impossible for the officers and soldiers to think about evacuating.
"Mr. Gu, I think I can ask the sergeants in the camp to participate in the battle."
Gu Junen nodded, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Break the king, capture the thief and capture the king first, I think send a large army to kill or capture Sun Chuanting, if there is any accident in Sun Chuanting, the official army will completely collapse."
Li Zicheng stretched out his hand to wipe the rain from his face and spoke boldly.
"Okay, this task, it's up to me to do it, Sun Chuanting is the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department and the governor of the five provinces, compared to Lu Xiangsheng, his status is higher, I am the king of the righteous army, I want to see which one is more powerful, Sun Chuanting or me."
Gu Junen looked at King Chuang, opened his mouth, and the words did not come out, according to his thoughts, Li Zicheng was not suitable to fight in person, but facing Sun Chuanting, it would be another matter. (To be continued......)
