The Jingbei Army was about to fight a decisive battle, and Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin had already considered all matters clearly before Li Xingzhi sent his troops.

Although there has been a lot of loss of medicine, there is still a considerable amount of gunpowder that has dried up, and Li Zicheng has no possibility of holding on to it when the number of troops and horses has an absolute advantage, because the lookout post has found that a large number of Hongyi cannons have been deployed in the rear of the Jingbei Army.

The most critical Jingbei army chose to fight a decisive battle before the camp of the Shun army, which made Li Zicheng's heart completely let go, the terrain here is open, which is conducive to the development of the army, although Li Xingzhi has thousands of cavalry in his hands, but the number of cavalry of the Shun army is 30,000, such a large gap in strength, Li Zicheng has no reason not to dare to fight

Therefore, Li Zicheng immediately took Liu Fangliang's division of the left battalion of the Shun army as the left wing, and the right battalion Li Guo's division was deployed on the right wing, while the former battalion commander Liu Zongmin commanded the front battalion and the middle battalion, and the cavalry led by Xie Youjun, the commander of the Shun army, was on standby in the rear formation, and the rest of the rebels such as the Heavenly Star and the Stepping Tiger were deployed in the gap between the two wings.

Li Zicheng's meaning is obvious, that is, to use the main force of his five battalions to contain the officers and troops, and then use the rebels from all walks of life to attack from the flank, so as to give full play to the numerical advantage of the existing side.

On March 26 of the first year of Yongli, after the official army eliminated Gao Yingxiang in Heishuiyu, another battle between the Ming and Shun sides kicked off in Zhuxian Town, and this battle was also a decisive battle to determine the belonging of North China

Amid the roar of the cannons, the battle lines of both sides continued to extend.

The horn of "woo" sounded, and the cavalry in the rear of the Shun army spread out from the left flank to the right flank of the Jingbei army. Li Zicheng's order to the cavalry was to outflank from the flank, and then the camera attacked the rear of the Jingbei army.

The Jingbei Army, which was dispatched by almost the whole army, hoped that Li Zicheng would not leave a backhand, but how could Li Zicheng not leave a behindhand as he wished, although his desire for victory was stronger than Li Xingzhi's, in order to prevent accidents, he still left the most elite rear camp in the Shun army to protect the large camp of Zhuxian Town, and at the same time protect the families of the officers and soldiers of Shun.

After the cavalry was dispatched, Li Zicheng was the banner was unfurled, Li Guo took the lead, and the right battalion of nearly 20,000 Shun troops began to slowly press towards the left flank of the Jingbei Army, and then Liu Zongmin's Chinese army and Liu Fangliang on the left flank also began to move forward.

The numerical superiority of the Shun army was undoubtedly revealed on the battlefield, and soon the officers and troops in front of them formed a semicircular encirclement.

The cavalry brigade of the Shun army turned to the right flank of the Jingbei Army, Li Xingzhi saw it clearly in the Yuan Rong car, and the flag behind him shook continuously, and the left and right wings actually spread out at the same time, forming a semicircular circle, and Wang Fuchen also led the cavalry to begin to move to the right flank.

Since entering the battlefield of the Jingbei Army, Li Zicheng, who had observed the terrain, decided on the strategy of breaking through from the right flank from the beginning, because the distance there was relatively far away from Qinglongbei, even if the official army had ambushes on the post, the attacking Shun army could also divide troops and horses in time to deal with it.

The flags are moving, the smoke and dust are everywhere, and the golden iron horse of Zhuxian Town, the war is about to break out.

In the passionate sound of war drums, the battle lines of the two sides of Mingshun gradually approached, and the earth-shattering sound of artillery came from the rear of both sides.

Countless cannons fell in the military formations of both sides, splashing blood flowers one after another.

In the rumbling cannon, the cavalry of the Shun army took the lead.

Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed into battle, like a torrent, causing an earth-shattering momentum, and the earth trembled with the sound of horses' hooves.

In charge of the right flank of the Jingbei Army are Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming's Sixth Town and New Sixth Town, the officers and soldiers of these two towns are mainly adapted from the Han military banner, these people are all elite soldiers who have fought old battles in Liaodong, and it is not an exaggeration to describe each of them as having experienced a hundred battles, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary military horses.

Therefore, Li Xingzhi transferred it to the right flank with open terrain, in order to be able to delay the cavalry of the Shun army, and at the same time to provide cover for the cavalry of the other side, after all, the number of cavalry in his hands is still too small compared to the Shun army.

Sure enough, as Li Xingzhi expected, as soon as the left flank and the Manchurian cavalry came into contact, although five or six hundred soldiers were killed on the spot, the soldiers of the rear team did not panic, but took advantage of the slowdown of the cavalry of the Shun army, the guns and cannons fired in unison, and the pikemen and shield soldiers also worked hard to rearrange the defensive line.

Although the cavalry of the Shun army was numerous, the armor used was captured from the official army, and the quality was extremely poor, and there was a fight in the face of the officers and soldiers with the same poor equipment, but in the face of the arquebus of the Jingbei army, they were unable to resist at all, and the two rounds of shooting down, also lost hundreds of people.

"Knock, knock, knock......!"

Almost at the same time, the cavalry of the Jingbei Army, under the command of Wang Fuchen, also appeared on the left flank of Li Zicheng's key attack.

"Brother Xin, you cooperate with Liu Fangliang to deal with the officers and troops in front, and Lao Tzu will lead the main force to repel the official cavalry first."

Xie Junyou is proficient in cavalry warfare, after Li Zicheng established Dashun, he added him as General Zuo Guoyi, and the cavalry of the President Dashun Army took a fancy to his ability to cavalry, and in the face of the official cavalry, Xie Junyou believed that as long as the cavalry was defeated first, it would definitely be able to seriously damage the morale of the official infantry.

Compared with the cavalry of the Shun army, the cavalry of the Jingbei Army is only five or six thousand people, so although he knows that there is a cavalry in the rear of the Jingbei Army, Li Zicheng does not take this cavalry to heart, and Xie Junyou, the commander of the cavalry of the Shun army, also does not take it to heart.

"It's a horse harrier, it's a horse harrier......."

However, when Wang Fuchen rushed out first, Gu Kecheng, who was beside Xie Junyou, screamed in horror! ”

"Harrier?"

Xie Junyou gasped, how could it be him? Gu Kecheng also shouted, he recognized Wang Fuchen, he never thought that Wang Fuchen would become the chief general of the official cavalry.

Wang Fuchen's bravery, Gu Kecheng and Xin Sike and other leaders of the rebel army are clear, before Liu Zongmin was defeated, the report said that Wang Fuchen only commanded more than a thousand cavalry, in less than a month, how did thousands of people emerge under his mother's hands.

"No matter how brave he is, there are only five or six thousand people, we have 20,000 cavalry, even if two for one, we can destroy them, everyone is two shoulders and one head, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that Wang Fuchen has three heads and six arms, and he will kill Lao Tzu."

Although he knew that Wang Fuchen was unparalleled in cavalry, Xie Junyou still carried his iron-backed broadsword to meet him, and he knew that he could not retreat at this critical moment, even if he died under the back of Qinglong, he could not retreat.

"Oh no, defeated...... If you are defeated, quickly withdraw to Lao Tzu. ”

"Oh no, defeated...... If you are defeated, quickly withdraw to Lao Tzu. ”

Li Zicheng personally supervised the formation, the main force of the Great Shun Army was exhausted, just after the front of the Shun Army and the Jingbei Army came into contact, the right flank of the Shun Army's Great Formation, suddenly sounded a earth-shattering shout, a military horse of about 5,000 people suddenly turned, and rushed to the direction of Li Zicheng's general banner with the flag rolled upside down.
