Chapter 397: Encounter

Three more 10,000 words to ask for a monthly pass, at the end of the month, everyone should be enthusiastic, in a few days!!

Li Zicheng is very good at fighting, which he himself has not realized before, but since he really embarked on the promising road of killing officials and rebelling, he has found that his talent in this area is almost innate, and it is estimated that it will take several months or even longer for other peasant army generals to fight indiscriminately to a little discipline, and the absolute part has not had time to evolve at all, and it was killed by officers and soldiers in some unknown place, and those who can stay are absolutely in the minority.

And even if he is a smart person, he can be regarded as a fast learner, except for the first battle without the slightest experience, only relying on a shoulder of strength and a bloody bravery, with the same stupid brother desperately rushed forward, he has never fought any confused battle, as a former postman, although the level of education is not high, but he still recognizes a few words, after realizing the importance of learning military knowledge, whenever there is an opportunity in the future, he will do everything possible to find a military book to read, which is actually very similar to Song Qing, After General Song returned to this era, after considering the uniqueness of the era, he also took the "New Book of Ji Xiao" and looked for some tactics suitable for this era.

It is through this kind of crazy reading that Li Zicheng has made very rapid progress in his military level, and he is also very good at using what he has learned, for example, the current style of fighting similar to guerrilla warfare is what he summed up by himself, retreating immediately after attacking a place, and when the officers and men of the brigade arrived, he had already disappeared with people, and it was not until the next weaker target appeared, that he and the reorganized team would reappear, and launch an attack with lightning speed.

After more than a dozen attacks in a row, Zuo Liangyu's troops were already about to be tossed and crazy, and General Zuo himself was already half mad, because he didn't know where the other party was. Although every time he received information, the general was nearby, but when he led a large group of men and horses to rush over, the other party had long been gone, and he could only continue to send people to search nearby, and then got a report again, saying that he had been attacked by the general, and when he brought people over again, the other party disappeared again.

The only thing left was the corpses of his subordinates, ranging from dozens to hundreds. Although this kind of loss is not big, but if it accumulates a lot, it is very unbearable for him, after learning from the pain, Zuo Liangyu decided to concentrate his forces to pursue the other party, no matter what, he must make this general pay a price, it is best to kill the other party directly, now it is not as good as the first few years, he Zuo Liangyu is no longer the most favored person among the generals in the Central Plains. Now the biggest name is Song Qing in Xuzhou, which makes him very unhappy in his heart, but Song Qing is completely different from him, he can't find anyone even if he wants to be angry. You can only recast your prestige by exterminating the rogue, and this general is the best target.

It's just that when he concentrates his men and horses to pursue, it is basically a plan, which is exactly what Li Zicheng wants to achieve. Let him be completely mobilized, and he can't block the gate of Hebei to enter Henan like a big stone turtle, and buy time for Gao Yingxiang and the other troops. so as to give the left general a fatal blow.

However, in this way, Li Zicheng's living environment has become more and more bad, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates have nearly 20,000 horses, and some of them have participated in the battle of Dalinghe, but they are not fighting with Song Qing and them, but they are fighting with another part of Houjin in the west, although they have not achieved any brilliant results, but they can be regarded as serious and hard-fought battles.

Zuo Liangyu himself is also a general, after a period of pursuit with the brigade, he found that it was not a way to chase like this, so he divided the troops into several groups to pursue, anyway, he had a lot of troops in his hands, and there were three or four thousand people in each group of separate pursuits.

This tactic is definitely very good, Li Zicheng really can't deal with it, he only has two thousand people in his hands, and he will be entangled in any one of them alone, and once entangled, other officers and soldiers will come at the fastest speed, the peasant army itself is not too fast, it is very troublesome to drag the family and the mouth, and after being surrounded, basically don't plan to run out of the city, and soon bring trouble to Li Zicheng, he can only try to run to the south, after all, Zuo Liangyu has already moved, and the defense in the south is a lot looser.

Almost at the same time, Cheng Hao also took his own team that had expanded to more than 5,000 people, and entered the territory of Beizhili, more than 1,000 of these 5,000 people got weapons, and most of the rest were wooden sticks and hoes, but it was already a team, and he fought with the officers and soldiers almost ten times, and basically had combat experience, but what he didn't expect was that he had just entered the territory of Beizhili, and Zuo Liangyu's southernmost more than 3,000 people encountered it. It didn't take long for Cheng Hao to find that his men and horses couldn't beat the other party at all, and he could hold on at first, but he was soon defeated.

This is the real officers and soldiers, Cheng Hao found that his previous understanding of officers and soldiers was wrong, he had encountered a combination of small groups of officers and soldiers and government servants, and they were not very strong troops, until he met Wei Yong, he was considered to have seen a long time, and then saw Song Qing's troops, although he felt very strong, but because he had not formally fought each other, he did not have a very intuitive understanding, and now he has encountered more than 3,000 regular troops, he finally tasted the strength of the officers and soldiers of the formation, and it is really difficult to deal with.

However, he can be regarded as a serious battle, on the way also found some military books to read, for the difference between fighting and fighting in the rivers and lakes has a good understanding, very clear about the weakness of these homeless people under his command, did not dare to watch in the rear at all, directly brought dozens of knights, and the more than a thousand with weapons rushed up, after repeatedly rushing a few times, finally resisted the momentum of the opponent's attack, but also let those who did not have weapons get some courage, by the way to get some equipment of the dead officers and soldiers, to continue to fight.

The battle started again, but Cheng Hao's homeless people seemed to have gone through a baptism, although they still couldn't beat each other, but they were no longer a shock and collapsed, and with the death of officers and soldiers, more and more homeless people picked up weapons, even if it was a shield, it was much stronger than just holding a wooden stick, and with the increase in the time of the battle, those who did not die slowly learned how to fight, although they were always retreating step by step, but at least at this stage they had not completely failed, and they were beaten to collapse.

Cheng Hao was relieved and worried in his heart, relieved because many of the teachings on how to fight on his road were not taught in vain, and many people in the team still listened attentively, otherwise they would not have persisted until this time, and the worry was because even if many people were learning to fight, but now they were obviously very inexperienced, if the other party only had a thousand people, he dared to guarantee that he could retreat safely, and he could also learn a lot of valuable combat experience, but the other party is now three thousand, and he doesn't think how many people can escape alive.

At this time, there was a burst of restlessness behind the officers and soldiers, from time to time someone shouted loudly that the Liukou was coming, and then there was chaos in an instant, and there was a scene of people turning over on their backs everywhere, although Cheng Hao didn't know who the people were coming from, but he could also hear the word Liukou, he was currently positioning his group of people as the Liukou, so he could judge that it was the friendly army that had arrived, and immediately brandished his sword and shouted: "Brothers, it is our friendly army that has arrived, and we will kill this group of dog officers and soldiers together!" ”

Do you have allies on your team? Unlike those homeless people, the knights know a little bit about the details, and they have never heard of any friendly troops in this team, but since the boss said so, the opposite side does seem to be a friendly army, so just follow and kill, after all, no one will think that there are many people on their side, even if they don't know any of the friendly troops on the other side, as long as they can help kill the officers and soldiers together, as for those homeless brothers, they don't care about these, seeing that the officers and soldiers who were still majestic just now, and have been pressing them to beat them suddenly messed up, the back seems to let someone stab the eye, of course this kind of good opportunity must be seized, so they all gritted their teeth and rushed forward.

Under the front and back attacks, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates finally couldn't stand it, and the officer who led the team saw that the situation was not good, and immediately took the lead and ran first, of course, the rest of the people and horses would not stay here to die, and they hurriedly kept up with the pace of the commander and fled desperately, and the hundreds of people who did not run away were caught by the rogues on both sides, and finally all were wiped out here.

Cheng Haoji hung on the opposite team, he didn't have time to see the results of the battle, he rushed towards the opposite side quickly, and when he was about to reach the ground, he found that the general on the opposite side was wearing a big felt hat, his chin was full of beards, and he was holding a long knife in his hand, which looked majestic, but what was even more strange was that he seemed to have met somewhere.

"Xue Wu?" Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, and there was a sense of absurdity in his heart, 'Why did this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes also surrender to the thief', and after someone came closer, he found out that this was not Xue Wu, although the two of them were dressed and looked a little similar, but this person was a little less murderous than Xue Wulai, a little more kind, and at the same time a little more indescribable calm temperament, which made people feel convinced at first sight, and then looked at the Chuangzi flag behind this person, Cheng Hao suddenly became excited, and asked: "It's King Chuang who came in front?" ”

Li Zicheng had already seen the leader of this team from afar, and seeing that the other party was strong in martial arts and heroic in appearance, knowing that Lu Dao was not an ordinary person, he hurriedly flew off the horse and arched his hand very politely: "Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang is Li's uncle!"
