Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui...... These Northwest Rogues may not have other specialties, but their ability to break through is very great.

As soon as Zhao Han pouted his buttocks, Zhang Xianzhong knew what shit he was going to pull.

You must not go to the west, Zhao Han must still be secretly mobilizing troops, and withdrawing troops from the west will completely fall into the encirclement!

This is the experience of piling up human lives, Zhang Xianzhong has spent several years in being surrounded and breaking through.

Luo Rucai also knew that the direct return army would be surrounded, so he proposed to flow eastward.

Sun Kewang also knew, so he proposed to pull it again and again, taking advantage of the loopholes in the continuous mobilization of troops on both sides.

Zhang Xianzhong was still the most ferocious, and after Zhao Han's main force appeared, he immediately decided to lead only the cavalry to counterattack. If the attack is successful, he will make a lot of money, even if the attack fails, as long as Zhao Han does not return to the army in time, Zhang Xianzhong can also slip away calmly.

As for those elite foot soldiers, in Zhang Xianzhong's view, they can no longer fight, at least they can't fight tough battles on the way to withdraw their troops.

After more than half a month of siege warfare, especially the last siege, the morale of the whole army dropped to the extreme, and they were already afraid of the Datong army. If he retreats with such a force, Zhang Xianzhong feels that he is looking for death, so it is better to take the initiative to separate the cavalry from the infantry!

A cavalry and horse team of more than 10,000 people rushed quickly with thousands of mules, carrying a small amount of food and fire on their backs.

They descended from an unexpected direction, the western side of Chilong Lake.

There are rivers and paddy fields, and the cavalry is enough to fight even a fast march.

But Zhang Xianzhong came, and Sun Kewang personally acted as a guide, because this belonged to Sun Kewang's territory and was very familiar with various rivers and terrains.

In order to strengthen his control over the affluent areas, Sun Kewang paved dirt roads in key prefectures and counties. Although these dirt roads were only two meters wide, they could be used by cavalry, making it very convenient to go to the countryside to get food.

Under the moonlight, between the complex river network and farmland, Zhang Xianzhong's whole army rushed with torches.

He even crossed two small rivers on the way, and the bridges on those small rivers were not built by Sun Kewang, but were built by the local gentry in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Kewang stopped and said, "Father, the front is less than ten miles away from Qizhou, so you can order the whole army to extinguish the torches first." ”

Zhang Xianzhong ordered the whole army to dismount and wrap their hooves, extinguish the torches and continue to advance.

He also sent messengers to contact the defenders of the city.

The Datong Army said that it was a siege, but it was actually stationed in the north and south of Zhuhu Lake, and many ships were docked in the middle to communicate, and there was also Li Shizhen's grave in the place where the ships were stopped.

Lu Xiangsheng had already guessed the direction of Zhang Xianzhong's surprise attack, but his marching route was contrary to Lu Xiangsheng's guess. Instead of going around the east side of Chilong Lake, it went around the west side, which was more difficult to walk but closer, causing the cavalry under Zhao Han to pounce in the wrong direction.

It's not completely in the wrong direction, as long as it's stuck there, it can prevent Zhang Xianzhong from running east.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Light the beacon fire! ”

About six miles northwest of Qizhou City, there is a camp on a small hill, in which a thousand Datong peasant soldiers are stationed.

Although Zhang Xianzhong was well hidden, his whereabouts were still exposed.

"Full speed ahead!"

Zhang Xianzhong could only launch in advance, ignoring this camp at all, and the whole army rushed towards the main camp in the northeast of Qizhou City.

When the wolf smoke rose from the camp, it did little effect, because it was night, and friendly troops miles away could not be seen at all. Their vigorous trumpets and shouts were equally useless, and the camp was used to carry news during the day.

However, they forced Zhang Xianzhong to speed up the march, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves quickly woke up Jiang Liang in the camp.

"Phew! Sigh! Sigh! ”

A brass whistle sounded in the camp, and both the peasants and the people, all quickly got up and assembled.

Many of the people here are farmers themselves!

The raid was also a raid, Jiang Liang was caught off guard, and he couldn't make a perfect defense in a hurry, but fortunately he didn't know until he was pounced outside the camp by Zhang Xianzhong.

The defenders in the city also came out and cooperated with Zhang Xianzhong to attack the camp at night.

It was the northern camp that was attacked, and there was a southern camp on the other side of the lake.

Yu Liangfu, the commander of the southern camp, quickly gathered his troops, he did not take a boat to rescue the friendly army, but led 10,000 peasant soldiers and 10,000 peasants to attack Jizhou City directly!

"Heroes, let's kill together!"

Zhu Hekun pulled out his waist knife and shouted, rushing towards Qizhou City like crazy.

This product belongs to the Jingwang clan, and his father's title is the general of Zhenguo. Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to kill, and most of the King Jing was killed, and all the rest fled.

Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong was not passing by, and he did not burn down the Jingwang Mansion, the County King's Mansion, the County Lord's Mansion, the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and the Auxiliary General's Mansion as in history.

Zhu Hekun is lucky, in Jiangxi, he belongs to the target of suppression, but now he can lead the Datong Army.

The north camp has already begun to fight, and the soldiers of the south camp are racing against time, and it took half an hour to finally rush to the city of Qizhou. Due to time constraints, I didn't bring the kind of ladders with winches and hooks, but they were all simple ladders that could be easily overturned.

The city wall of Qizhou is about 5.8 meters high, because half of the troops were dispatched, and they went out of the city to help Zhang Xianzhong attack at night, and there were only 3,000 defenders left in the city.

The first group of sieges failed, and more than 400 Datong soldiers were killed and wounded.

At that moment, a fire broke out in the city.

The city closest to Zhao Han's territory, how could it not be finely made?

"Kill the thief and welcome King Wu!"

"Kill the thief and welcome King Wu!"

The first to respond were the big households in the city, the land in Qizhou was too fertile, and the suburban fields of the big families were robbed. They live in the city and are often exploited, and their lives are getting more and more difficult day by day, and only by driving Zhang Xianzhong away can they live.

From the day of the siege, the fine work has been connecting the big households, and at this moment it can finally take the opportunity to launch.

Moreover, these people did not go to the city walls to help, and ran in droves to attack the homes of the defenders. If you can't attack it, you will directly set it on fire, and you will be slaughtered in it, even the children will not let go.

The big households have too deep grievances with Zhang Xianzhong, and they can't control the situation at all.

Many of the guards looked back and found that there was a fire coming from the direction of their homes, and there were shouts of killing, and they all wanted to go back to protect their families.

Finally, some of the guards left the city wall without permission and ran wildly towards their homes.

"Give back my family's life!"

Zhu Hekun, the son of the general of Zhenguo, although he was not a Datong army, or even a Datong peasant soldier, he spent his own money to build leather armor and rushed to the front with a waist knife.

His parents, his brothers, his wife and children were all killed by Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhu Hekun, who was injured in the shoulder, slammed into it from the stomp, and slashed out with a hideous face. Seeing an enemy stabbing at him, he slammed into the front, and after being bruised on the waist, he hugged the enemy and fell to the ground and entangled.

More and more Datong soldiers attacked the city tower, and more and more soldiers defending the city fled the city wall.

Yu Liangfu, the commander of the southern camp, did not immediately enter the city to strangle the remnants of the remnants of the army, but ordered the whole army to shout together: "The world is the same, the world is the same!" ”

Direction of Beiying.

Zhang Xianzhong was already shocked when he saw the fire in the city, and then heard the neat shouts in the city, how could he not know that Qizhou City was taken away?

The soldiers of Qizhou who came to help the war were even more frightened, their families were all in the city!

At this time, the sky was faintly bright, Zhang Xianzhong was so angry that his teeth itched, and he said aggrievedly: "Withdraw the army!" ”

The night raid, with the help of the defenders of the city, left a maximum of ten minutes for the assembly time of the Beiying Datong army.

In such a short period of time, the Datong peasant soldiers were really assembled, and more than half of them arrived at the defensive position.

Such a situation was completely beyond Zhang Xianzhong's imagination, and he could not understand how the enemy army did it.

Li Zheng's regular division, although the rescue was too late, finally came.

"Bang bang bang!"

A volley of guns fired, and Zhang Xianzhong's foot soldiers collapsed in an instant - due to the loss of the city, they were already on the verge of collapse.

Zhang Xianzhong abandoned his foot soldiers and went west, and Sun Kewang caught up and said, "Isn't it eastward?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said depressedly: "The enemy's reinforcements are coming, our strategy has been seen through, and there must be Zhao Han's cavalry blocking the road in the east." ”

Zhang Xianzhong led the cavalry back the same way, and then ran straight north, he had to fight a time difference to see if he could find a place to cross the Qishui River. As long as you succeed, you can cross the river with your elite foot soldiers.

Li Zheng saw the corpses all over the camp and asked, "How about the loss?" ”

Jiang Liang said angrily: "There are thousands of dead and wounded, and it is estimated that there are thousands of dead in battle. Several of the camps were breached, and in a hurry they were rushed by cavalry. ”

The Datong army also gained something, not only capturing the city of Qizhou, but also getting thousands of mules.

It was Zhang Xianzhong's mule caravan mount, carrying fire-starting objects and a small amount of food. I was going to kill all the way to the Wujia Cave, but I didn't expect that I didn't even take the North Camp of Qizhou, so as a result, thousands of mules were all given to Zhao Han.

Zhao Han scattered a large number of sentry horses, looking for traces of Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry everywhere.

After a whole day, I finally got the news that Zhang Xianzhong had crossed the Qishui River.

Zhao Han finally realized Yang Sichang's mood, his mother's "ten-sided net", every time the net was not opened, Zhang Xianzhong had already run away!

However, only the cavalry and horse team were able to run, and Zhang Xianzhong's tens of thousands of foot soldiers, grain and people were all pursued by Zhao Han in the mountains.

Zhao Han deliberately chased after him ruthlessly, hoping to lure Zhang Xianzhong back to rescue.

even deliberately let the enemy foot soldiers who divided the troops reunite and escape, but Zhang Xianzhong just didn't show up, and it seemed that he really abandoned all the foot soldiers.

What the is this?

If it were Zhao Han, it would be absolutely impossible to do this kind of thing, even if there was only a glimmer of life left, Zhao Han would fight with tens of thousands of foot soldiers.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "Zhang Xianzhong will not come back, let's annihilate all these enemy troops." ”

Lu Xiangsheng was also very depressed, and led the cavalry to intercept it, but it was blocked, and every time he misjudged Zhang Xianzhong's marching route.

Regardless of Zhang Xianzhong's ability to fight, this ability to escape definitely belongs to the S-level god general.

To tell the truth, if Zhang Xianzhong is given 50,000 cavalry, this person is afraid that he will be able to play flowers, and interspersed with attacks will always be unexpected.

Zhao Han turned over his horse and ordered: "Pursue at full speed and gather and annihilate the enemy's foot soldiers!" ”
