The decisive battle of the army is not limited to one day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zicheng's army has captured a large amount of territory until now, and it is no longer a rogue force, and for the rear, it has even begun to recruit all living beings as officials to carry out actual rule.

Now that Li Zicheng's identity has changed, he has started the construction of regularization and has a decisive battle with Sun Chuanting's legion, Zhao Gao does not mind the change of identity and becomes a rogue on Li Chuang's territory, other officers and soldiers may disdain and are unwilling to do this, but Zhao Gao has no psychological burden to do it.

Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang, and Zhao Gao attacked Li County; Li Zicheng attacked Ruzhou, and Zhao Gao attacked Fengzhuang. The frontal battlefield has Sun Chuanting and his decisive battle, you come and I fight each other, Zhao Gao is in the rear one by one to copy his hometown, where there is a key defender one does not fight, pick the county town where there are not many defenders, the army now occupies too much territory, and the main force was basically taken away by Li Zicheng for a decisive battle, even if there are those left behind, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and Zhao Gao's 2,000 men and horses are almost in a no-man's land.

So there was a strange scene, Li Zicheng's peasant army in front and the official army decisive battle, Zhao Gao led a partial army began to attack Li Zicheng's various county seats, stations, camps, after the fight down, immediately opened the warehouse to release grain, and at the same time distributed the fields again, this situation is very similar to the early days of the army, but now within the army, also began to reward meritorious deeds and win over the gentry, most of the fields are also in the hands of a few people, Zhao Gao did this, but got the spontaneous support of the local farmers, the people are the most real, He doesn't care if you are immoral or loyal, and whoever gives him food and land is a good person, and he is a Ming Jun. So Zhao Gao began to replenish his troops among the various displaced people, and when the news of Sun Chuanting's defeat came from the front line, Zhao Gao had already broken through dozens of county seats, and almost cleaned Li Chuang's camp in the rear, although there were not many defenders killed, but it had grown to 8,000 people, which was still a regular army. The rest of the displaced people, all handed over to a county order that was casually sealed after the county seat was conquered, and Zhao Gao's goldfish suit was the best weapon to recruit, and the right to recruit soldiers was promised to the county order, and the number of displaced people recruited was how many troops were stationed. He continued to march forward from the camp, marching all the way, leaving behind a mess.

In desperation, Li Zicheng, who had already broken through Tongguan, had to send a partial army to defend back and forth, led by Liu Tichun, the general of the Chuang army, and led the right wing of the Chuang Wang, who had just won a great victory, with a total of more than 20,000 people, to pursue along the route of Zhao Gao's march.

Along the way, Liu Tichun almost blew his lungs, and the city that was broken by Zhao Gao, except for a part of the grain and grass that was taken away, the rest were distributed to the peasants, these peasants were basically half-starving, don't think about getting back the food that was distributed to the hungry people, you can't find it if you dig three feet into the ground, at this moment the rats in the official warehouse can starve to death, Liu Tichun has to transfer grain and grass from other places. In addition, the gentry and old pawns who survived easily cried in front of him and cried together, the land was all Zhao Gao was distributed to the tenants, Liu Tichun was also a tenant, and knew that if he wanted the tenants to hand over the land in his hand, there was only one way to kill him, but he couldn't kill all the tenants in the city, so he had to behead the so-called "county order" and "county cheng" left by Zhao Gao, who had just surrendered, these people were all grass on the wall, as soon as Liu Tichun's army arrived, he immediately opened the city and surrendered, but unfortunately it was still difficult to escape death.

Since it is impossible to escape death anyway, the "county orders" of the following cities will either abandon the city and leave, and take the newly formed homeless defenders into bandits, leaving Liu Tichun with an empty shell; Either he really couldn't run, and he took dozens of soldiers with wooden dung forks to defend the city, although he was attacked with no difficulty, but it really disgusted him.

Liu Tichun now really felt the changes brought about by the change of offensive and defensive situation, he had to stop to deal with chores, break into the king, of course, now ask the Son of Heaven to send him, of course, to exterminate this disgusting army, but the main purpose is to stabilize the rear, otherwise he will not send his descendants over, in this way, if you want to catch up with Zhao Gao's "wing army", don't even think about it.

After tossing for more than three months, by the time Li Zicheng conquered Yulin in November, entered Ganzhou, and prepared to besiege Jingshi, Zhao Gao had already turned to all sides and returned to the Quanzhou garrison, at this time he already had nearly 10,000 troops and enough troops to eat a year's grain and grass, and became a force that should not be underestimated.

It's just that at the end of the month, Liu Tichun's army finally arrived at the city of Quanzhou, Zhao Gao had no way to retreat at this time, but this was also in his calculations, at this time, the families of the backbone of the army were in the city, and the soldiers in the cantonments outside the city had completely withdrawn, and all the sergeants had many killings and injuries in Li Chuang, even if they wanted to surrender, it was impossible, for the lives of the whole family, they had to defend the city desperately.

The city wall of Quanzhou City is not too high, Zhao Gao used this time to strengthen again, at this time the army in the city is sufficient, enough to support a year, and dozens of deep wells have already been dug, which can not only prevent the army from digging tunnels, but also provide sufficient water sources. Liu Tichun's army lacked siege equipment, and the mountains and forests near the city had already been set on fire by Zhao Gao.

A few days later, Liu Tichun began to try to attack the city, it is still the fixed routine of the king, the siege army is divided into five layers, the first layer is the coerced hungry people, almost unable to stand firm, under the coercion of knives and arrows, they have to climb to the city wall, they don't even have weapons in their hands, most people even if they get under the city wall, they can only beat weakly, as a stepping stone for the army behind.

The second layer is the sergeants who have just been recruited from the homeless people, most of them are dressed in tatters, holding a branch in their hands, they are also coerced to rush forward, countless stones have already been prepared on the city wall, just smash down, these sergeants began to scatter and flee, but unfortunately behind is Liu Tichun's law enforcement team, all of them are strong men with military horses and long sabers in their hands.

The third layer of attack is the regular ordinary soldiers, they have regular weapons in their hands, there are also some simple rushing cars and ladders, a shout, it is densely attacked from three directions to the city wall, then there will be arrows on the city wall, a few months ago, when Zhao Gao began to suppress the bandits, those soldiers who were eliminated in the thousands of households began to cut wood to make arrows, although they are all extremely rough arrows, some of them are less than twenty meters, but from the height of the city wall, there is still a little lethality, Especially these ordinary soldiers who have little protection for the intruders.

Generally speaking, the fourth layer is the main force of the attack, that is, the elite of the king of Chuang, but today is only the first day, the battle between the two sides is still mainly based on temptation, after leaving hundreds of corpses, Liu Tichun did not attack again, those hundreds of corpses are basically hungry and homeless, ordinary soldiers are only dozens, no matter how many of these people die, Liu Tichun will not feel distressed, anyway, when the time comes, just go to the outside of the city, such people can be regarded as almost endless.

The first day of the battle ended, Liu Tichun was also a tall and bold artist, the military camp stationed was only one or two miles away from the city wall, Zhao Gao stood on the city wall, and could almost see the face of the sentry opposite.

So on the night of the first night, Zhao Gao sent an elite night attack of more than 100 people, these more than 100 people ate meat for half a year, night blindness is much better than the rest of the people, under a blow, he actually broke through several camp tents and burned some military rations, but these are within a reasonable range of bearing, Liu Tichun's army is unmoved, and these small-scale harassments are often more than worth the loss.

On the second day, Liu Tichun didn't know where to get a group of hungry people, or attacked layer by layer, Zhao Gao still shot arrows from the city wall, but today Liu Tichun picked up the arrows and took a closer look, it was still extremely crude, and it was simply a sharpened wood, which couldn't even wear through layers of leather armor. So the third batch was replaced with their own elite, and at this time, what was shot down from the city wall was the arrows with iron heads, and Zhao Gao had already dealt with what people served what dishes.

On the night of the second night, it happened that the dark clouds covered the moonlight on this day, and the black hand could not see the five fingers, Zhao Gao sent more than a dozen strong soldiers, beating drums and shouting on the city wall in the middle of the night, Liu Tichun looked disdainful, the soldiers were also well-trained to deal with the night attack, and soon set up a formation to wait for the night attack, but unfortunately waited for half an hour, there was no movement at all. Not long after the formation was dispersed, the drums and shouts started again, Liu Tichun had to order the front camp and the rear camp to rest in different periods, and by the day of the third day, many sergeants were obviously tired on their faces, and there were many corpses lying under the city wall today.

Such days have passed for five days in a row, and by the fifth day, the number of hungry and displaced people on the first layer has only a handful, and most of the people in the vicinity who can still walk one or two steps have almost run, but today those soldiers who went to the distance to cut wood have also returned, the ladders and rushing cars are ready, and Liu Tichun issued the order for the general attack for the first time.

The car rushing to the city gate was quickly shocked back, Zhao Gao had already sealed the city gate with a boulder, and now even if he wanted to go out, he had to move stones one by one, but unfortunately the sergeant did not know, and he was still risking his life to hit the city gate again and again.

The city wall was brushed with a layer of black oil everywhere, in addition to the sticky ladder is difficult to erect, when the soldier of King Chuang climbed the ladder to attack the city, there will be torches constantly dropped from the top, and the entire city wall was soon ignited, and there is a black unpleasant smell, including the scorching smell of the corpse, this is the open-air oil found by Zhao Gao, the quantity is not much, but when it is used to defend the city, it can almost be regarded as a miracle.

On the sixth day, Liu Tichun had to re-encamp, there was a small plain more than ten miles outside the city, 20,000 people were stationed, there was a small dirt mountain in front of the plain, which was just used as a sentry post, not far from the plain, there was a small river, and the water source was not a problem, at this time the surrounding trees were cut down, and there was no possibility of an ambush attack.
