Chapter 7: Li Zicheng

Under the black daku, Li Zicheng, who was wearing a red hat and armor, had a solemn face.

Looking down from the slope, the cavalry of the Ming army was no more than 100 people, but it defeated the more than 1,000 horses and 3,000 infantry troops he arranged on the left flank of the official road in an instant.

"His grandmother's!"

Liu Zongmin slammed the felt hat on his head to the ground and scolded angrily.

"The two stupid dicks of Chaotianxing and Mantianxing, when they say it, they want to break the sky, and they fight like this straw bag!"

Liu Zongmin can't still be calm and relaxed like Li Zicheng.

"The formation of more than 4,000 people was scattered by less than 100 people, what kind of battle is this!"

Li Zicheng glanced sideways slightly, and glanced at the Heavenly Star Hui Dengxiang and the Scorpion Block Tuoyangkun who were next to him.

Guotianxing Hui Dengxiang's face turned red, obviously because he had anger in his heart, Chaotianxing and Mantianxing were his subordinates, and Liu Zongmin's words were slapping him in the face in front of everyone.

No matter how you say it, he is also one of the thirteen families, with the same status as Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng's status is not as good as him, Liu Zongmin is just a general under Li Zicheng, and he dares to lose his face.

It's just that the 4,000-strong army was crushed by less than 100 cavalry in one shot, so that he couldn't say anything to reprimand.

The scorpion block Tuoyangkun didn't squint, as if he hadn't heard Liu Zongmin's scolding.

He is under Gao Yingxiang's command like Li Zicheng, and it is not him who is scolded, so he will naturally pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Zong Min."

Li Zicheng raised his horsewhip, frowned slightly, and shouted in a deep voice.

Liu Zongmin was already furious, and when he heard someone calling his name and followed the prestige with anger, when he saw that it was Li Zicheng who called him, he could only restrain all his anger.

"There is something wrong with the officers and soldiers of this battalion, the thief led by him will not be an ordinary person, and this battle grudge must not be mixed with the stars and the stars."

Li Zichengce immediately stepped forward and played a round, but did not reprimand Liu Zongmin.

Liu Zongmin snorted a few times, although his face was still a little angry, but Li Zicheng had already spoken, and he didn't dare to say any more, and he stood behind Li Zicheng.

Hui Dengxiang's face softened a little, he squinted at Liu Zongmin not far away, and did not do anything superfluous.

Although he is one of the thirteen families, his status is higher than Li Zicheng, but in the final analysis, everything is respected by strength.

Hong Chengchou led the troops to pursue all the way, and the generals under his command suffered a lot of losses, Li Zicheng and Tuoyangkun both belonged to the camp of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, and Tuoyangkun decided to take Li Zicheng as the main thing, in fact, the person who spoke decisively in the army now was Li Zicheng, not him.

"No matter how brave the thief is, there is only one person, 100 cavalry, this time our three divisions have gathered 50,000 troops, even Cao Zhi, big and small, and we must also drink hatred today."

Li Zicheng's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the chaotic left flank, far away, he couldn't see the general's big sword clearly.

However, looking at its shape, I am afraid that it is either a general army or a general, and there are many brave officers and soldiers, especially those border generals from Liaodong and Jizhen, who are good at riding and fighting, and the armor is strong and sharp.

On the left flank, he left 500 elite cavalry guards for his nephew Li Guo, and also allocated him seven or eight tiger squat cannons and a lot of firearms, in order to guard against the impact of the officers and soldiers.

Occupying a favorable position, no matter how you say it, is enough to stabilize the situation, and the officers and men will not be able to attack.

"Zong Min, I'll give you a thousand horsemen to gallop to the right flank and entangle those family cavalry."

The military situation is like fire, Li Zicheng did not waste time, but he had already thought of a countermeasure in an instant.

"Big brother, don't worry, I'm going to cut off the thief's head!"

Liu Zongmin has been gearing up for a long time, and he can't hold it back, so he responded immediately.

What kind of chaotic stars, full of stars in the sky are called such a big horn, and the ambush is so infuriating.

"Just pester the officers and soldiers, don't do anything superfluous."

Li Zicheng glanced at Liu Zongmin obliquely and lowered his voice.

Hearing Li Zicheng's sinking voice, Liu Zongmin also knew the proportions, so he lost his temper at the moment, took the military order and went straight down the mountain.

The sound of horses' hooves was loud, and Li Zicheng rode his horse a few steps forward to take in the overall situation.

The left-wing forward infantry on the left side of the officers and men had all been dispersed, and the morale of the forward horse team had also fallen to the bottom and they did not dare to confront the officers and men.

The cavalry of the Ming army pierced the entire left flank like sharp blades, and was now driving the rout to charge in all directions.

On the official road, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sound of fire guns and tiger squat cannons also sounded, and the Ming army's foot soldiers had stabilized the military formation and began to return fire with tiger squat cannons and fire guns.

The Tiger Squat Cannon does not do much damage to armored units from a distance, but it is undoubtedly a great killer for hungry people without armor.

The infantry of the Ming army on the official road has formed a tight military formation, and the spears like a forest stretch out from the military formation, like hedgehogs, and there is no way to speak.

The standard spear of the Ming army infantry is generally about one zhang two feet five inches, and the infantry under his command has a messy weapon, and the Ming soldiers form a military formation because the spear commander occupies a great advantage in the battle.

Even if the veteran soldier who supervised the battle was forced, he could not let him attack the officers and soldiers who had already arranged the formation with short soldiers.

Li Zicheng dragged the war horse forward slowly, and the officers and soldiers were obviously about to enter the encirclement, but they didn't know why they suddenly lined up, as if they had discovered an ambush, so that this extremely embarrassing scene appeared.

If you enter the encirclement, where the terrain is not suitable for horses to gallop, this kind of clearing will not occur.

Even if he can win this time, I am afraid that he will have to lose a lot of troops and pay a lot of money.

In the distance, the cavalry of the Ming army had begun to retreat at this time and began to line up again.

"Break the left flank first, then hit the right flank, and then cover the infantry's retreat."

Li Zicheng saw it clearly, and he also knew what the generals of the official army wanted to do.

Now the left flank is in chaos, and although Li Guo is already reorganizing his troops, he is afraid that it will take a lot of time to stop this chaos.

The general of the army was regrouping his family and preparing to relieve the siege of the right flank again.

I have to say that the general of the official army not only has martial arts, but also knows the art of war, if he really let him defeat the horse team on the right flank.

The infantry of the Ming army can evacuate back safely, and when they evacuate to the plains, their infantry will form a large formation, line up the formation, and then want to break through, it will be much more difficult.

And......

Li Zicheng looked back at the other side of the mountain.

It is impossible to hide the movement here from the bottom of the mountain, and I am afraid that the forward horse team of officers and soldiers who rushed to the front has already discovered that something is wrong, and once it is dragged to its gallop to help, victory or defeat will be said at that time.

He sent to Hutou Town to lure the enemy with a total of nearly 3,000 people, more than 1,000 horsemen, and 2,000 foot soldiers.

If it weren't for the fact that he had sent another 1,000 horses to help, I am afraid that it would have turned into a rout in the end.

But that's it, the 500 officers and cavalry still maintained a strong suppressive force, chasing the more than 2,000 cavalry under his command, and the head-to-head confrontation was completely crushed.

"Could it be that I really met Cao ......"

Although Li Zicheng made bold statements, saying that Cao Zhi is big and small, he must also be hated today.

It's just the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, among the thirty-six battalions, no one is really willing to deal with Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao.

Li Zicheng's expression was deep, staring at the officers and soldiers who had reassembled on the official road.

His expression changed many times in a row, and finally he still raised the blue order flag in his hand.

This is no longer the time to hide it.
