[Thanks; Reward for dancing dreams! 】

In this grim atmosphere of war, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen quietly came.

All the New Year's celebrations and regular programs are gone, and Liu Zongmin is still making his way north. And Zhou Huchen's father and son and a group of generals, everyone gathered in a military camp tent in Qi County to look at the military map, and everyone looked worried.

"The geographical location from Pingyao to Qixian and Wenshui is too flat, and the enemy's army can easily be deployed, and the enemy army has a large number of people, which is extremely unfavorable to our army, and this defense is very difficult." Jian Chen pointed to the map and spoke first.

"It's already the narrowest area on the left, and there are a few rivers that can keep the thieves at bay. If that is only to retreat to Taiyuan, but this Taiyuan is around"

Zhou Yuji looked at the map and shook his head, the geography near Taiyuan Mansion is also not optimistic, and the frontal defensive area is too broad. The enemy army is outnumbered, and it is too difficult to meet it head-on, but once it retreats to Taiyuan City, it will soon be surrounded. Once surrounded, it will be difficult to break through, and there will be a danger of total annihilation.

Zhou Huchen, who had been on the sidelines, had a headache for a while, this defense was too difficult. To put it bluntly, defeating Li Zicheng is not a problem at all, it is not a problem to make a mistake in strategy, and the most important thing is that Zhou Huchen is unwilling to lose manpower. Zhou Yuji didn't realize how powerful this army was, his view of this army was very strong, it was just very strong, Zhou Yuji was actually still stuck in his inherent old thinking. In Zhou Yuji's imagination, the battle still requires the hand-to-hand combat of cavalry and foot soldiers, and as for firearms, no matter how advanced and sophisticated they are, they are only auxiliary. Zhou Yuji never realized that the 50,000 troops under his command were actually a Liliang that was enough to dominate the world.

However, without a fight, this cheap dad will definitely not agree.

Seeing Jian Chen's eyes constantly making eyes at him and stretching his brows, Zhou Huchen decided.

"Father, Xiaohu is willing to lead the team to fight against these thieves, form a formation of artillery and musketeers, and cover with cavalry, but it really can't be done, I will retreat to the city of Taiyuan Mansion."

Zhou Yuji fell into thought, and then nodded.

In front of the high cliff ridge.

Except for the countless corpses of their own soldiers on the yellow earth, there were no more enemies. Accustomed to seeing life and death, this is nothing, Liu Zongmin carefully led the army to cross the Gaobi Ridge, and after entering Lingshi County, he didn't find even a single enemy, which made Liu Zongmin feel very strange, wasn't it Zhou Yuji's army? Isn't the enemy very strong? How come there is no one to defend against?

The officials fled, and there were few wealthy families left, and all that remained were those poor people, which was the Lingshi County left by Zhou Huchen to Liu Zongmin.

There is no shortage of materials, even more than ever, Liu Zongmin has already harvested a lot in Pingyang, and now, he doesn't care about this small Lingshi county. After a short rest in Lingshi County, Liu Zongmin's 200,000 troops came out of Lingshi.

After a day's advance, no matter how the scouts sent by Liu Zongmin searched for them, they still didn't find even a single enemy, so they entered Jiexiu all the way.

Now, Liu Zongmin wondered if Hao Shaoqi had really deceived himself, but the corpses of those own soldiers

Jiexiu, like Lingshi County, had little to gain, and Liu Zongmin began to feel depressed. Early in the morning of the second day, the scouts came to report that there was still not a single enemy in the twenty miles ahead.

The terrain was flat, and since there was no one to defend it, Liu Zongmin was not polite, and he quickly entered the territory of Fenzhou and occupied Xiaoyi and Fenzhou City. Subsequently, Liu Zongmin personally led the team to occupy Pingyao. Of course, this time there was still very little gain, which made him continue to be depressed.

It is getting closer and closer to Taiyuan Mansion, and there are less than two hundred miles in front of it, and Qi County is in front. Liu Zongmin was very careful, this time he did not rush forward, but let the army rest, and also sent a large number of scouts to investigate near Qi County.

The topography of Qi County is gradually inclined from southeast to northwest, and it is gradually transitioned from mountains and hills to plains, and the west side of Qi County is Wenshui, which is west of Luliang Mountain and east of Fen River, and the terrain is relatively flat.

On top of a large mound far away from Qi County, a dozen scouts dressed in brown clothes were lying on the mound, and one scout was looking south with a cylinder.

More than a dozen Dashun army scouts wearing light blue cotton clothes appeared in the field of vision, and took away the clairvoyant mirror in front of him, this Ming army scout was obviously a leader, and he smiled contemptuously: "There are less than three miles, come on, prepare to kill them!" ”

Scouting is a very dangerous profession, and although the pay is good, once you come out, your life will be in danger at any time.

When a dozen or so scouts of the Dashun army approached the mound, they were very happy to verify this claim.

When two armies fight, scouts go first, this is common sense. The fight between scouts on both sides of the battle is also a stage to show off their military might and personal bravery, a kind of pre-war game, where the victor can get honor, and the soldier can show off his bravery.

It's a pity that these scouts of Zhou Huchen's subordinates are too unsophisticated, and they don't have this sense of honor at all. When the scouts of the Dashun army were dozens of steps away from the mound, these Ming army scouts suddenly drove their horses out and killed them.

It's okay to kill it, even if it's a sneak attack, you always have to fight each other in close combat!

These soldiers of the Great Shun Army were wrong again, these shameless scouts of the Ming army carried out the orders of Young Marshal Zhou, and in their philosophy, it was obvious that the enemy who was killed was the least dangerous.

Orders and habits were carried out absolutely thoroughly, and these shameless Ming scouts pulled out a short fire gun as they rode up.

The distance is so close, the war horses of the Dashun army scouts have not yet run, not to mention fighting and turning around. With the sound of firecrackers, there were only four or five soldiers left in the Dashun army who were still on the horse, and the remaining four or five people were even worse, and a dozen or so Ming army scouts rushed up - shijie was clean.

The scouts of each army are orderly in front and back, and once the scouts in front are killed, the scouts in the back will naturally see it. The follow-up scouts of the Dashun Army watched as their comrades in front of them were slaughtered in this way.

There were many scouts sent by Liu Zongmin, and these scouts were not simple peasants, but veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and how could they sit idly by and watch their companions being killed. The scouts of the Great Shun Army began to converge in this direction, but to their surprise, these Ming scouts did not run away, but were doing something in the same place.

Do you dare to play with more people? These Ming troops had already broken the usual rules of the game, and Liu Zongmin, the scouts, decided without hesitation and resolutely learned from these venerable Ming troops -- and swarmed up.

Scouts are actually synonymous with toughness and ability, and these scouts of Liu Zongmin are no exception, and while swarming up, these fierce scouts have taken off their bows and arrows.

Galloping is actually like that, and the accuracy and threat are naturally not comparable to the step. But Liu Zongmin sent a lot of scouts, and these scouts were all good at galloping. If you don't follow the rules and use firearms, then I will use bows and arrows, and then beat them in groups, which is justified.

The scouts were all light cavalry, these Ming troops were not stupid, they would definitely be injured if they were shot by bows and arrows, and even fall off their horses, therefore, these Ming troops did not hesitate to explore the horses, and they began to flee.

The war horses of the Ming army started late, and when the speed obviously did not rise, the enemy behind them was getting closer and closer like the wind.

While galloping, the Ming soldiers turned around and pulled out their firearms to the Dashun scouts behind them. These Dashun army scouts didn't understand a little, this is galloping on the horse, how to light the firecracker, the firerope must be extinguished, and everyone knows the range and power of this short gun.

Soon, the most courageous scouts of the Dashun Army used their lives to understand how their comrades were killed.

This firebolt is not a three-eyed bolt at all, and it probably doesn't need any arquebus, and it's deadly.
