[Thanks; The rewards of several friends of East Passing Away, Crazy, Sword Qi Ling Tian, and Sanniu AA! 】

On December 17 of the 16th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi.

Breaking through the Yellow River defense line in Shaanzhou, Zhongtiao Mountain is no longer an obstacle, and Zhangdian Town, a little east of Shaanzhou, happens to have a section of the mountain range missing. In this way, the swarming crowd entered the Linfen Basin, and Li Zicheng's army quickly occupied the counties and towns along the road.

On the 20th, the army besieged Pingyang Fucheng (now Linfen), and Pingyang's deputy general Chen Shangzhi retreated in Pingyangfucheng.

On the 21st, Li Zicheng's army took only one hour, and the southern city of Pingyang was lost. Chen Shangzhi, who had no way out, issued a surrender order, Li Zicheng took Pingyang lightly, and more than 300 members of the Xihe Wang family who guarded Pingyang Mansion were slaughtered.

At this time, Zhou Yuji's army had crossed the town of Loufan (now Loufan County) in Jingle County, and the incomparably difficult road finally came to an end. Now, there are only 100 miles left from Taiyuan Mansion.

The long dragon of tens of thousands of troops finally formed a torrent in the mountains and hills, and everyone was tired from marching for days, and the officers had been desperately boosting their morale, and now, the most difficult section of the road was over, and all the officers and men were in high spirits.

Finally saw the dawn, and the anxious Zhou Huchen began to act.

Riding a horse in front of Zhou Yuji, Zhou Huchen directly asked for his life: "Father, let me go and shield the battlefield, and ask my father to enter Taiyuan later." ”

This was an inevitable action before the war, and Tanma was already far away from arriving in Taiyuan Mansion, and at the same time reported that he had not seen the enemy dozens of miles away. In order to prevent being attacked by large enemy forces, shielding the battlefield is a tactical need for every operation.

Zhou Yuji smiled and thought for a while: "It's okay, I'll give you two days to dispatch five thousand cavalry, assisted by General Liu Qiliu." ”

Two days was enough time for a large army to enter Taiyuan Mansion, and it was obvious that Zhou Yuji had used all his strength to send 5,000 cavalry. This decision is full of deep meaning, Liu Qi is the strongest cavalry commander under Zhou Yuji, and he is a guerrilla general with Zhou Huchen. Now it is led by Zhou Huchen and assisted by Liu Qi, which is undoubtedly to exercise Zhou Huchen's ability to lead troops.

"Deling~~" This is exactly what Zhou Huchen wants, and he agrees simply and excitedly.

Quickly and Liu Qi formed a team, and the five thousand fierce cavalry rushed away with amazing momentum.

In the rolling yellow dust, the horses shuttled back and forth, and Zhou Huchen and Liu Qiyi took the lead. There is still half a day to enter Taiyuan, and Zhou Huchen must stop Li Zicheng's vanguard, and he has to delay time to prepare for his future Jihua

Liu Zongmin is the most powerful general under Li Zicheng, he is now named Marquis of Ru, and he is still the general of the Dashun Army, which can be described as a high power. Now, it is up to him to take the attack, and it is natural to take Shanxi.

Since the Dashun army broke through Shaanzhou and obtained Pingyang, the army had a smooth journey, and the counties and towns along the road all looked forward to the wind. In a few days, the vanguard of the army is about to arrive in Lingshi County, and Liu Zongmin is full of confidence in Huozhou.

As long as Lingshi County is broken through, the army will enter the Taiyuan Basin, and the most important Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi will be naked in front of you. Obtaining Taiyuan will not only obtain sufficient supplies, but also mean that Shanxi will only have one inner Great Wall defense line left. With the current morale, Liu Zongmin is confident that he will take the whole of Shanxi in one fell swoop, and then

Hao Shaoqi is the old subordinate of the old king Gao Yingxiang, who has always been fierce in battle, so he can raise the flag and charge, so he got a nickname, "Hao Shaoqi".

Now Hao Shaoqi is the vanguard of the entire army, and this opportunity is rare. Because Hao Shaoqi is the old subordinate of the old king, and because Hao Shaoqi was greedy for a cup and misbehaved, he has not been allowed to break into the king Li Zicheng to reuse. Now, General Quan Liu Zongmin has given him such an opportunity, and Hao Shaoqi naturally wants to be good haode to perform.

Lingshi County, which is a key point in the north and south, has the title of "the royal palace of Yan and Ji, the classic of Qin and Shu", which is extremely important for both the defending side and the attacking side. This is the barrier of the entire Taiyuan, breaking through Lingshi County, Taiyuan Mansion will be a horse near Pingchuan.

Tanma has come to report that in the south of Lingshi County, except for the occasional people who escaped, no official army team has been found.

"Soldier Spirit Stone!"

Opportunity, opportunity, it will not come easily. Where in the world are there so many good things, God gives you a chance and you miss it, give it to you again, miss it again, give it to you again...... It's all left to look at you, and if you can't catch it, you'll die ugly! Therefore, Hao Shaoqi wants others to see that he Hao Shaoqi cannot be called Hao Shaoqi in vain, he is the brave Hao Shaoqi, which is a banner of the Dashun Army.

With Hao Shaoqi's order, his vanguard was numerous, and tens of thousands of troops poured into the nest.

The mountains in Lingshi County are undulating, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the advance speed of the army is not fast. An hour later, the army was about to arrive at Gaobi Ridge, which was more than ten miles away from Lingshi County.

Gaobiling is very close to Han Xinling, Han Xinling is the location of the tomb of Han Xin, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty. Gaobi Ridge is located on the south side of Lingshi County, and it also happens to be close to the mountains, and there are earth walls and cliffs everywhere, which is undoubtedly a place where Hao Shaoqi's army can be deployed.

Of course, it is also very conducive to the deployment of any army.

This flat land is next to Gaobi Ridge, and Hanxin Ridge further east is actually a small part of it. Gaobiling mountain is steep, the cliff is deep, the north leans on the Mianshan, the south is connected to Huoyue, the east is confronted with Lingkong Mountain, the west is facing each other with Qinwangling, it is the ancient official road in the Qin and Han dynasties, the geographical location is very dangerous, the throat of the north-south traffic, it has always been the place where the soldiers must fight, and it is known as the reputation of "the thoroughfare of Sichuan and Shaanxi".

Hao Shaoqi was very cautious to send a horse to explore, this place where soldiers must fight, the official army should not give up easily, he was ready to have an offensive and defensive battle with the official army, however, Hao Shaoqi did not think that the official army would have any great resistance.

The officers and soldiers in Shanxi, as expected, had a very weak resistance, and had already been defeated in Pingyang with tens of thousands of Ming troops, and now the remaining strength of the Ming army should be very limited, Hao Shaoqi did not think that they had the ability to counterattack, and it was good to be able to defend. The officers and troops along the Yellow River are examples, and Hao Shaoqi is confident that he will take Gaobiling in one battle.

Sure enough, not long after, the horse galloped back, and the Ming army was found on the high cliff ridge.

In the report, there were not many enemies, and Hao Shaoqi directly ordered: "Advance, prepare to take Gaobiling!" Hao Shaoqi was full of confidence, which was expected by him.

The army slowly approached the Gaobi Ridge, and on both sides were loess ridges of different heights, not only with ravines and ravines, but also with many canyons and dangerous roads. Although the official army had been defeated and was very vulnerable, Hao Shaoqi's soldiers were cautious and kept patrolling the dirt mountains and ravines on both sides to avoid a surprise attack by the enemy.

Hao Shaoqi's army was advancing, but he didn't find it at all, there was a soil ridge three miles south of the east side of Gaobi Ridge, this soil ridge was very high, and it was very common among these thousands of earth ridges, and it did not stand out. Behind this ridge is a large area of very flat loess, and in this canyon-like loess earth, five thousand cavalry are ready to move.

Seeing Hao Shaoqi's army coming, the few Ming troops on Gaobi Ridge began to run back and forth in panic, obviously panicked.

The broken banner staggered, and the soldiers were panicked, and even shot a few arrows from a long distance, which made Hao Shaoqi's subordinates can't help but let out bursts of shameful laughter.

Hao Shaoqi stepped forward in high spirits, and set up a pergola with his right hand, the Ming army on the ridge was sparse, and the strength was obviously limited, so it seemed that there should be no problem in taking it.

"The whole team, ready to attack Gaobiling, will definitely give me a battle to win!" Hao Shaoqi reached out and picked up the Lingqi.
