After the officers and soldiers passed the destroyed road, in the grass somewhere in the wilderness, Li Zicheng lay there impressively, quietly watching this scene.

There was also a team of guards around, Ma Xin was on the side, and asked puzzledly: "Boss, this marching formation of the official army is too strange." As the main force of the charge, the cavalry has an irreplaceable role, extremely destructive, and can tear a hole in the opponent's formation in an instant. I really don't understand, what did the commander in the official army think, and actually let a thousand elite cavalry be in charge of the palace? It's just a tyrannical thing and a waste of resources. ”

Li Zicheng was still lying there, looking at the four thousand officers and soldiers who were gradually disappearing, and said without looking back: "What do you kid know?" Although there were a thousand people left, it was difficult for the average army to swallow it. However, you must know that if our more than 2,000 people go all out to deal with this lone 1,000 officers and soldiers, it will not be like a joke. ”

Hearing this, Ma Xin's eyes lit up, and he had a hint of realization in his heart, and suddenly said: "Boss, I understand that the reason why the commanders in the official army arrange the formation like this is to prevent trouble. Once these thousand people were ambushed, they were suddenly attacked. The 1,000 cavalry behind the palace can turn the horse's head and provide quick support, and it won't be long before they can get here. ”

"Yes, that's it." Li Zicheng nodded, still looking at the 1,000 officers and soldiers, especially when he saw the five cannons and the sharp weapons for attacking the city, the light in his eyes became more and more blazing, but he whispered faintly in his mouth: "It seems that there are masters in this official army, who are not only good at arranging troops, but also a person who is extremely thoughtful." ”

"Well, Boss, you're right. Judging from the situation last night, letting 2,000 infantry sneak over the canyon area and station at the exit, it can be seen that this person is extraordinary and very thoughtful. Ma Xin's expression was very solemn and said in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zicheng's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice: "Ma Xin, Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu's side have already succeeded, although they have not yet completely controlled Lanzhou City, but they have achieved their goal and forced out King Su, Zhu Zhihong and a cadre of followers are rushing to this side." ”

"Inform the troops at the front that once King Su Zhu Zhihong passes through the canyon, immediately destroy the roads in that area of the canyon. Moreover, let Liu Fangliang prepare. Once the vanguard of the official army, the 1,000 cavalry, turned around, and the cavalry at the rear of the rendezvous hall was separated from the 2,000 infantry, let him act immediately, and the 200 cavalry would sneak attack. ”

"Yes, Boss!"

Ma Xin happily agreed, with a look of envy on his face. At this moment, he already knows the overall plan, and envy those brothers who are facing the battle head-on, they can let go and do a big job, like his current self, he can only stay here honestly.

Although the total number of troops is less than 2,000 people, the plan is extremely ingenious, interlocking, and sniping officers and soldiers step by step. In particular, the action of Lanzhou City can be called a stroke of genius, very bold, and it is the main axis of the whole plan, activating the overall plan.

Moreover, as the Li Jiajun gathered more and more, Ma Xin felt that it was not impossible to eat the five thousand officers and soldiers!

Twenty miles away from Yuzhong City, in the northwest direction, in the weeds on both sides of an official road, Liu Fangliang and two hundred cavalry were hidden here, looking at the northwest direction, there was not a trace of the official army, and he couldn't help but scold: "Fuck, this official army is really grinding and chirping, is the marching speed a turtle crawling?" Lao Tzu has been waiting here for a long time, and there is not even a ghost shadow, what a dog! ”

At this time, a deputy captain on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and answered: "Speechless, Captain Liu, don't you know?" Our brothers will destroy the official road in a mess, unless they all have a pair of wings. Otherwise, before the sun is high, we will not be able to reach us at all. ”

"Day, do you think Lao Tzu doesn't understand this truth? Again, be careful that Lao Tzu will give you a one-finger Zen,~! ”

As soon as Liu Fangliang's words fell, the deputy captain was a spirit, and the chrysanthemum tightened, and she didn't say anything anymore.

Obviously, these people have been poisoned by Li Zicheng, not only in words, but also in the way they speak, and even in their actions.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a black shadow appeared in everyone's sight, and the deputy captain said in surprise: "Captain Liu, the official army is here, can we attack?!" ”

There were some abnormalities, Liu Fangliang did not act immediately because of the clamor of the deputy captain, he was very calm and calm, remembered Li Zicheng's explanation, and whispered: "It's not the time yet, everyone don't move, keep quiet." No one is allowed to act without my orders. ”

The deputy captain immediately came to his senses, and then said: "Yes, the boss said, as long as the officers and soldiers stop, after the cavalry and infantry are separated, it is the best time to sneak attack from behind, and the officers and soldiers will be caught off guard!" ”

Hearing the deputy captain's excited words, Liu Fangliang's performance was still unusual, with a noncommittal look, a solemn expression, staring closely at the clearer and clearer team of officers and soldiers, getting closer and closer.

Each soldier clenched the steel knife in his hand, and held the reins in the other, glancing at the war horse lying there, his chest undulating, all waiting for an opportunity, Liu Fangliang's order.

"Look, captain, look, the officers and soldiers have stopped, and the cavalry in front is turning around, do we want to act now and give them a sudden?!" The vice captain's eyes lit up, and he reminded Liu Fangliang excitedly.

"No hurry, no hurry, now is not the time."

The soldiers who were suddenly restless, as soon as they heard Liu Fangliang's words, all became honest, which showed the latter's prestige in the army.

At the same time, in the ranks of the official army, Zhang Zongbing and Liu Guangsheng quarreled with red faces and held each other, and the former almost roared angrily and shouted: "My lord, don't~!" If you transfer all the cavalry, the remaining 2,000 infantry will be like a lone wolf with a canine tooth removed, and it will be easily attacked by the cavalry of the anti-thieves, causing massive casualties! ”

"Mr. Zhang, are you the boss? Or am I the manager? Don't forget, the talisman is still in my hand, and the dispatch of the army will be at my command! ”

Liu Guangsheng was unmoved, unyielding, still insisting on his own approach, with eagerness between his eyebrows, and he was impatient at all.

However, as soon as he saw the expressions of most of the generals, he faintly stood on the side of General Zhang, and his tone softened a little: "General Zhang, you have also heard that the thieves have attacked Lanzhou City. Moreover, King Su is rushing to our place, ordering the army to return to help immediately. Once the prince gets angry and joins you and me, no one here wants to have good fruit to eat! ”

At this moment, everyone's heart is very clear that King Su does not have military command, let alone dispatch and order himself and the governor. The reason why Liu Guangsheng was so active and wanted to mobilize 2,000 cavalry to come back to help, and so listened to the orders of King Su, it was nothing more than that the two of them had the same interests, that is, Lanzhou City had their own family!

Moreover, all the generals knew in their hearts that King Su was a person who would repay him, and if he didn't listen to King Su's greeting, as Governor Liu Guangsheng said, if there was one person present, the end would not be good, and it was possible to be beheaded.

Especially the current Emperor Chongzhen, who listens to and believes partially, it is easy to listen to the words of villains. Some civil ministers and military generals who have made great contributions, as long as someone speaks in the ear of the emperor. At every turn, there will be prison and life.

It can be said that today's emperor simply treats the civil and military generals of the imperial court as poultry, and kills them at every turn!

Thinking of this, everyone hesitated, and no longer insisted on standing with Mr. Zhang, feeling the change in the atmosphere, Liu Guangsheng even said: "Mr. Zhang, don't forget, I have left the firearms battalion and thirty tiger squat guns, all for you." Even if there is a real anti-thief attack, with your on-the-spot command and adaptability, you will definitely be able to deal with it! ”

A high hat was thrown, and Mr. Zhang was speechless, he couldn't say that he didn't have that ability, right?

Liu Guangsheng had already turned his horse, commanded the cavalry to join the cavalry behind, and said: "Moreover, General Zhang, as long as you meet with the 1,000 infantry, you will have 3,000 troops in your hands." Even if Li Zicheng has all the manpower, there are not as many as yours. Could it be that in such a situation, even if you can't exterminate the rebels, you can't cope with their sneak attack? ”

When it came to this, what else could Zhang Zongbing say, he could only agree to come down: "Okay, my lord, just listen to you, and immediately return to Lanzhou City." However, your 2,000 cavalry must not be too fast enough for the infantry to see your shadow and follow closely behind. ”

"Okay, this official promises you!"

After saying this, Liu Guangsheng rode his horse and galloped, the speed became faster and faster, and the corners of Zhang Zongbing's eyes kept beating, everyone wanted to scold his mother, and a deputy chief soldier was even more indignant: "MD, at this speed, how can other cavalry slow down and hurry?" Not to mention seeing it, you can't even see the dust on the road! ”

Mr. Zhang's expression was ugly, but he also had to say: "Okay, it's useless to complain too much." Now we can only rely on ourselves to quickly join up with those 1,000 infantry, so that our safety can be more guaranteed! ”

"Yes, General, we listen to you!"

Immediately, the rear team of 2,000 officers and soldiers changed to the front team, returned the same way, and marched at full speed.

At this moment, Liu Fangliang and the others who were ambushed in the shadows still did not move, until the official army disappeared without a trace, and Liu Fangliang led everyone out of the grass.

"Captain, why don't we snipe the follow-up troops of the official army? Once you miss the opportunity, there will be no such opportunity in the future, don't delay the boss's arrangement? The vice captain stood up again, with an anxious look on his face, and asked puzzled.

However, Liu Fangliang still said: "Now is not the time, not the best time." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Fangliang turned over and got on his horse, took the lead, and followed behind the officers and soldiers with two hundred cavalry, keeping a distance, like a hunting wolf pack, following closely behind, always staring at the prey!
