Chapter 561: The Decisive Battle of Zhu Xianzhen (24)
There are Chen Wen and Zhao Ergou acting secretly, the news of Ma Huihui repeatedly, and the loss of Luyang Pass is not in the Shun army camp, and those Shun army elites who have been fighting with the official army all year round naturally know the consequences of the back road being cut off, and the panic began to spread in the Shun army camp.
The development of the matter has been out of the control of Li Zicheng and other high-ranking members of the Shun army, and no one thought how the news of being tightly sealed spread to the army.
The three of them became tigers, and all of them shimmered gold, and at this time, it was impossible for them to refute the rumors.
"Check it out for Lao Tzu, and find out which Wang Balamb leaked the news."
In the main account of the Shun army's camp, Li Zicheng angrily kicked over the case in front of him, and the rest of Li Guo, Liu Fangliang and other henchmen were all shocked by Li Zicheng's thunderous anger and did not dare to say it, even Liu Zongmin, the actual number two person in the Shun army, was silent at this time.
"King Shun, now is not the time to be held responsible, the students think that we should immediately evacuate Zhuxian Town, feint Luoyang, and go to the inner countryside to enter Shaanzhou, when we can attack Shaanxi in the west or Hanzhong in the south, we can advance and retreat freely."
Song Xiance did not agree with Li Zicheng's internal investigation when the two armies were facing each other, because if he acted in this way, he would only sit down, Luyang Pass was lost, and the main force of the party and Nanyang were cut off by the official army, and the most important thing to do at this time was to capture a few county towns to boost the morale of the Shun army.
Niu Jinxing snorted: "Let's evacuate Zhuxian Town, what should we do if the Shandong military ranks are in pursuit?" Now that Li Xingzhi is on the back of the green dragon, as long as we rely on our superior forces to defeat the main force of the official army in one fell swoop, and even take down Li Xingzhi's head, all the arrangements of the official army are a joke to us. ”
"What Niu Junshi said is reasonable, we have more than 400,000 troops, if we see Li Xingzhi's general flag and withdraw from the battlefield, wouldn't it be shameful? What will the officers and soldiers who surrender to us think? Once you choose to retreat, those people at both ends of the first rat will immediately deviate from Germany, when the time comes, don't want the Shandong army to fight us, our own hearts will be scattered, in my opinion, it is better to attack the back of the green dragon, even if the official army is forced to leave Zhuxian Town in Shaanzhou, then the world will not dare to underestimate my Dashun. ”
Gu Junen also agreed to continue to attack Qinglongbei, the reason is that Dashun has nominally established a regime, and this time he went north to Heluo with the troops of the whole country.
"What Mr. Gu and Niu Junshi said is reasonable, the green dragon's back has to fight, but the Qinglong back officer army has a deep ditch and a high base, and the defense line is tight, can you have a good strategy to break the enemy?"
Li Zicheng's anger was slightly extinguished, but he still agreed to Niu Jinxinghe and Gu Junen's suggestion, the reason is that what Niu Jinxing and Gu Junen said is reasonable, since Dashun has established a country, it must have the spirit of establishing a country, if it is like before, in the face of the siege of the official army or the way of mobile combat, then what is the meaning of this Xinshun country?
"Alas......!"
Song Xiance sighed, he found that Li Zicheng had changed, since he annexed Luo Rucai and Gezuo's fifth battalion and unified the rebel army, his benefactor has swelled up not like the king of Chuang when he first entered the camp.
The back road has been cut off, and I am still thinking about a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers, and now the medicine is soaked in water, and thousands of artillery pieces are decorations, and it is not easy to take down the heavily fortified Qinglong back, it seems that I have to find another way out.
"King Shun, King Shun, the Shandong army on the opposite side has sent a war letter, and Li Xingzhi wants to fight with us in the field."
Just when Li Zicheng and others were fighting or not fighting, Wu Ruyi, the leader of the Shun army who was guarding outside the tent, hurriedly broke into Li Zicheng's Chinese army tent with the arrow book shot by Wang Fuchen on a yellow horse and white robe.
"What? The officers and the army are going to fight a decisive battle? Quickly read the arrow book and listen to it. ”
Li Zicheng got up, this fucking sleepy pillow, he was still worried about how to break through the defense line of Qinglong's back, Li Xingzhi actually wanted to go out of the defense line and fight with himself.
Li ...... Rise to a decisive battle? He didn't take our Dashun in his eyes at all, King Chuang, you ordered 200,000 troops with me, and my old Liu Bisheng captured Li Xingzhi. ”
Liu Zongmin, who had failed in the previous attack, was overjoyed, the solidity of the Qinglong back defense line, he had already seen it, he knew that there was no artillery support, if the Dashun army wanted to attack the back of the green dragon, it would have to be filled with human lives, but no one dared to guarantee how long those cannon fodder troops could last, and the field battle was different, the Shandong army did not have trenches and walls to cover, Liu Zongmin did not believe that the official army could block his own sea of people.
"Brother Liu, don't be impatient, let's take a look at Li Xingzhi's war book first."
Li Zicheng was relieved, raised his hand to stop Liu Zongmin, and looked at Niu Jinxing.
Niu Jinxing is also a human spirit, and immediately took the war book in Wu Ruyi's hand, and read aloud, "The former king Jiayin rose up, Gao Yingxiang made a rebellion, and the cause of Liaodong and Dongyu made a rebellion, and the court suffered from the rebellion of Jianzhou, and had to levy Liao's salary, since the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Central Plains has a great drought, natural disasters for many years, and the people have no food and clothing to support, disobey the king, pseudo-build three provinces, chaos in the world, now the prime minister in Zhuxian Town, I don't know if the king dares to meet with the prime minister to hunt in the Central Plains? ”
This book Li Xingzhi can't write, it is from Xu Yixian's handwriting.
"Hahaha......!"
Li Zicheng laughed loudly.
A group of Shun army generals also burst into laughter.
Since Li Zicheng marched into Heluo, the official army has been on the defensive, whether it is to defend the back of the green dragon, or to use the water to delay the advance time of the Shun army, Li claims to have been like a tiger biting a hedgehog and has no way to speak, and now Li Xingzhi wants to fight a decisive battle, it is not to seek death, and he really thinks that he is invincible in the world when he wins Zhang Xianzhong and the Manchurian Tartars.
In the big camp, whether it is Li Zicheng or Liu Zongmin or those peasant army leaders, they are all happy, even Song Xiance, who gave birth to the mind of the Shun army, is also happy, and if he fights in the field, he has more than 400,000 troops in his hands, of which there are more than 80,000 soldiers and horses in the elite fifth battalion, and the officers and soldiers are only 50,000, and one person can drown them with a mouthful of spit.
Li Zicheng's laughter suddenly stopped, and he shouted violently at the leaders in the camp tent: "Since Li Xingzhi has issued a war letter, Lone naturally has no reason not to fight, Niu Junshi, you will write a letter for Lone Xing, and say that Lone will fight to the death with Li Xingzhi outside Zhuxian Town in five days."
Li Zicheng is not stupid, it makes sense for him to choose a decisive battle after five days, that is, he hopes to take advantage of this time difference to completely dry the medicine soaked in the river water, and then use his powerful firepower to fight with the Jingbei army.
