"The officers and soldiers were stationed in Baoji County, and the camps set up were as angular as when they were in Baoji County, staggered with each other, and there were many forts on the high slopes along the way, and the conflict was sad......

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, February 25.

Tuoyangkun arrived at the eastern suburbs of Qinzhou with 1,000 elite cavalry, more than 3,000 horsemen, and more than 20,000 infantry troops, and successfully joined forces with the main cavalry led by Li Zicheng.

The infantry team and horse army brought by Tuoyangkun this time are the elite of the army, and the hungry soldiers are basically left in the Chengshan and Jieshan Mountains.

The infantry of 20,000 men has been trained in the military formation, not just a swarm of troops who fight in a disorderly manner.

Li Zicheng led 7,000 elite cavalry and 40,000 horse troops, all the way to fight thousands of miles, and it was not without casualties.

The cold weather in the northwest not only affected the pursuers led by Hong Chengchou, but also had a huge impact on Li Zicheng.

Although there are fur clothes exchanged from the Qiang tribe and looted winter clothes to keep out the cold, there are still many people who are affected by the severe cold, and many people fall on the road like this.

However, on the road, he also pulled a lot of generals and recruited a lot of Qiang people, and in fact, his combat power increased instead of decreasing.

Now Li Zicheng has 7,000 fine cavalry, 36,000 horse troops, and 2,000 Qiang cavalry, totaling 45,000 people.

Counting the troops led by Tuoyangkun, the total strength is nearly 70,000.

70,000 people seems to be much less than before, but the people who can stay until now have experienced a lot of war, have seen blood, and have been red.

Li Zicheng was wearing a burqa and a hat on his head, riding a war horse and standing on a high slope, observing the surrounding situation.

Years of fighting horses and campaigns have allowed Li Zicheng to develop a cautious personality and the habit of observation.

Even if it was clear through the reconnaissance cavalry that the pursuing Ming army was still far away from them, and the surrounding situation was clear, Li Zicheng did not slack off because of this.

"The officers and soldiers are coming quickly."

Li Zicheng snorted coldly, the officers and soldiers were really anxious this time, he had dealt with Hong Chengchou for many years, and Hong Chengchou had never been as urgent as he was now.

I am afraid that it was some order from above that made the officers and men more and more crazy.

Li Zicheng's eyes were slightly condensed, he didn't have any channels to know about those things in the temple, so he simply threw them into his mind.

The news reported by Tian Mi Xiu was more important to them than the news above the temple.

While listening to the reports of the school generals around him, he was still paying attention to the wind and grass in the surrounding area.

Tian Jianxiu's report made Li Zicheng's brows furrow slightly, and the killing intent in his eyes was full of it.

It's this Chen Wang again...... Seriously...... It's ghostly!

There are many edges and corners, staggered with each other, and the situation encountered in the county is the same.

"Hanzhong Mansion is Chen Wang's defense area, and the camp outside the county was his handiwork."

If I remember correctly, when I reported before, Sun Chuanting moved to Pingliang Mansion in the northwest to block their road to the north.

After the change of guard, it seems that Cao Wenzhao was stationed in Baoji, Fengxiang Mansion.

Li Zicheng's eyes rolled slightly, and he had already guessed the inside story in an instant.

"Before, I led the troops from Wenxian County into Sichuan, to the surprise of the officers and soldiers, Hong Chengchou sent Cao Wenzhao from Luoyang all the way to the south, through the Qipan Pass from Sichuan Baoning Mansion to pursue."

"Chen Wang seemed to have been recruited by Cao Wenzhao at that time, when he passed through Mianzhou, the people below didn't say that in addition to Cao and Hou Liangzhu, there was a battalion of soldiers and horses in the east, playing a red background and black striped flag, and this battalion of soldiers and horses should be the Hanzhong Army under Chen Wang."

Li Zicheng looked south and spoke in a deep voice.

To the south is the rolling and winding Qishan Mountains.

It was nearly dusk, and the red glow was like blood, staining the sky and the mountains.

The red sun, red mountains, green water and green Tan in the distance are all reflected in Li Zicheng's eyes.

Li Zicheng's eyes were deep and his expression was dark.

Gao Jie...... Chen Wang......"

Li Zicheng muttered in a low voice, his voice was very soft and low, even the people around him didn't hear what he was saying.

If you want to say that the people he hates the most, they are undoubtedly Gao Jie and Chen Wang.

I can't eat its flesh, eat its blood, and sleep its skin......

Li Zicheng's expression was cold, and he clenched the reins, because he was too hard, and even his knuckles began to turn slightly white.

The main force of officers and men led by Hong Chengchou was in Ningyuan County, more than 200 miles to the west.

The Pingliang Mansion to the north was the Qin army led by Sun Chuanting and the Xi'an Guard.

In the Fengxiang Mansion to the east, it is now the Datong soldiers led by Cao Wenzhao......

"Hou Liangzhu is the general soldier of Sichuan, and now he is still in Sichuan, and the officers and soldiers who are fortified in Baoji County should be the soldiers and horses of the three battalions of Cao and Chen Wang."

"There are more than 3,000 cavalry under Cao Wenzhao, there are more than 2,000 cavalry under Cao Bianjiao, and the soldiers under Chen Wang's command don't know the details for the time being, and it seems that there are almost two or three thousand people in Mianzhou last time......"

Li Zicheng thought in his heart, his brows frowned slightly, and his voice was slightly condensed.

When he was in Chunhua, Chen Wang swallowed 900 Liao cavalry under Zhang Waijia, and later got a lot of war horses, and there should be a lot of cavalry under his command.

Li Zicheng's eyes were full of coldness, he really lost his wife and soldiers in the first battle of Chunhua, which literally meant.

At the beginning of Sanshui, he destroyed Zhang Waijia and seized a large amount of gold and silver in armor.

Those things could have helped him rise all the way to the top, and he became the leader of the battalion comparable to Zhang Xianzhong.

But the fire in Chunhua burned everything down.

"There is Sun Chuanting in Pingliang Mansion, and Cao and Chen Wang in Fengxiang Mansion are in ......"

Tuoyangkun's face was gloomy, and he was depressed in his heart, whether he went to Fengxiang Mansion or Pingliang Mansion, he felt that he had no chance of winning, and he couldn't get in.

Sun Chuanting guarded Pingliang Mansion, and the scout cavalry reported that there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, Luo Shangwen and Li Yuchun, as well as the boneless waste of the heavenly star Hui Dengxiang.

Luo Shangwen and Li Yuchun are not bad, and they can be regarded as daring to fight and rush among the officers and soldiers.

The neat king Zhang Fatzi was killed by Luo Shangwen, and Li Yuchun also killed Saimachao Ma Yu and two other leaders of the seventy-second battalion.

As for the Fengxiang Mansion......

To be honest, if you fight Liangfu, you may still have a few chances of winning.

But playing Fengxiang Mansion, Tuoyangkun didn't feel that they had half a chance.

On the side of Fengxiang Mansion, whether it is Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, or Chen Wang, they are all famous murderers.

The Ming court divided the 72 battalions of the Liukou into three battalions, the upper, middle and lower, and the twenty-four battalions were ranked according to their strength.

There is naturally a corresponding ranking among the rogues, which are also upper, middle and lower.

Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou also have rankings, but they are another ranking, which belongs to the ranking of local governors.

Generally, ordinary battalion soldiers are counted among the lower ranks, such as Ai Wannian, Liu Chenggong and other brave and good fighters are ranked in the middle level, Luo Shangwen and Li Yuchun are at this level.

And the superiors are such as Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Qin Liangyu, He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu, these fierce and powerful generals who are declared outside.

Among them, the upper level is subdivided into two levels: A and B.

He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu, Hou Liangzhu, Zu Kuan, Zuo Guangxian, Tang Jiuzhou and other generals are all in the second grade.

Originally, there were only three people in the first class, and the first and second were naturally Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao.

Cao Bianjiao is generally by Cao Wenzhao's side, so he is listed together.

The third person is Qin Liangyu.

Although Qin Liangyu did not fight many battles with the Republic, but in the first battle of Kuizhou, Qin Liangyu led the white pole soldiers to kill the rogues in a battle, and the rivers were full of blood, bleeding and floating corpses for several miles.

The 72nd Battalion did not dare to invade the realm of eastern Sichuan again, even if Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong broke into Hanzhong Mansion through Yunxiang, the army did not cross the salt field and enter eastern Sichuan half a step

However, since July of the ninth year of Chongzhen, there has been one more person in the Shangjia sequence.

And this person is Chen Wang......

became famous and pure, killed Li Guo first, and then beheaded Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan.

Hanzhong broke 100,000 people in the first war, so it was famous in southern Shaanxi.

Then he killed Gao Yingxiang in the first battle of Heishuiyu......

Chen Wang was also listed as the fourth in the top armor because of this, and his murderous name even faintly overtook Cao Wenzhao.

"There are wolves in the north, tigers in the east......"

Tuoyangkun's face was gloomy, whether it was to the north or to the east, it was a bloody battle, and whether he could win or not was a matter of two words.

Hong Chengchou led the pursuers to follow, once they couldn't break through in time, when Hong Chengchou led the troops to chase after them, they would become turtles in the urn and be surrounded in the Jedi.

The surroundings were extremely empty, but Tuo Yangkun was a little short of chest and stuffy, and he felt that an invisible net was coming towards them, and it was shrinking more and more......

The causes and consequences of the Battle of Heishuiyu and the process of going through it have been disseminated in detail.

Gao Yingxiang, as the leader of the seventy-second battalion and the leader of the rebel army, after killing him, the Ming court naturally had to make good use of it.

Because of Gao Yingxiang's death, there are countless people who surrender in despair everywhere.

To be honest, even Tuoyangkun himself thought about surrendering.

Tuoyangkun looked sideways slightly and looked at Li Zicheng, who was standing not far in front of him.

Li Zicheng's eyes are as deep as an eagle and the bridge of his nose is high, and he is several points similar to Gao Yingxiang in appearance.

Originally, Tuoyangkun had been acting with Li Zicheng for a long time, and he was quite familiar with Li Zicheng.

From last year's meeting to the present, Li Zicheng has changed greatly, and from Li Zicheng's body, Tuoyangkun has seen many shadows of Gao Yingxiang.

If it weren't for the completion of the rendezvous with Li Zicheng, and then Li Zicheng led them to defeat Sun Chuanting first, and then turned all the way to Dulian, I am afraid that he would have really surrendered......

Tuo Yangkun's eyes dimmed a few points again, although he won successive battles all the way, but to be honest, he was actually a little disheartened by now.

In Huguang and Henan, Liu Guoneng and Zhang Xianzhong have already surrendered, and the originally powerful coalition forces are now scattered again.

Now in the whole of Henan, Huguang and Nanzhili, there are not many soldiers and horses left.

Luo Rucai was still in Nanyang, Zuojin Wang He Jin and Ge Li Yan He Yilong fled into Yinghuo Mountain, and the rest of the people were all scattered, and many of them had disappeared......

On the side of Hanzhong Mansion, 100,000 horses surrendered, and the little red wolf was nowhere to be found.

Now in the huge Shaanxi, only their last part is left......

And now the officers and soldiers are coming from all directions, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Cao Wenzhao have nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, and there are many elite soldiers, and the strong generals are like clouds.

Under the order of the government, the four corners and six corners of the government were stretched out on ten sides, and the salary was 2.8 million and the army was 120,000.

This time they really can't seem to hold on......

King Chuang is dead, Zhang Xianzhong has surrendered, Luo Rucai, He Yilong, how long can they last.

Failure seems to be a foregone conclusion......

Perhaps surrender is also a way out......

Tuo Yangkun looked at Li Zicheng standing in front of him, hesitating in his heart, wanting to speak, but he didn't know how to speak.

At this moment, Li Zicheng's gaze swept towards him.

Tuoyangkun's expression changed slightly, and he was shocked.

Li Zicheng's eyes are sharp and sharp, and his current momentum is far from being comparable to the past, just a glance makes him feel a lot of pressure.

Tuoyangkun's strange appearance was fully seen by Li Zicheng.

The sluggish morale in the army and the thoughts of the generals and colonels under his command actually did not hide from Li Zicheng's eyes.

Li Zicheng's gaze swept over the generals behind him.

He had long noticed the hesitation and hesitation on their faces.

Now he is constantly innovating his tactics in the army, and the innovation of tactics must first complete the reorganization of the troops under his command.

Driving the hungry infantry to besiege and using the tactics of the fine cavalry army to respond, they can defeat a small number of battalion soldiers, but once they encounter the officers and soldiers with strong combat strength, they have no choice.

The advantage in numbers has become a disadvantage in many cases.

The transformation along the way is not just to get rid of the officers and men and drag them down.

Li Zicheng actually has more considerations in it, and now he has almost completed the change of the military system.

Now following the head of the camp under his command, there are five people: Chief Qi, King Renyi, King Zhengshi, King of Heaven, and Tuoyangkun.

Li Zicheng reorganized the army, and now he is under the command of the elite cavalry, he led 2,000 elite and 2,000 Qiang cavalry.

He divided the remaining 5,000 horsemen into ten teams of 500 men each.

Li Zicheng handed over five of the ten elite cavalry teams to the five battalion leaders including Tuoyangkun and General Qi.

The other five teams were handed over to Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu, and Liu Tichun, four generals who had been following him, and one team was handed over to Gao Dede.

In addition to the elite cavalry, each team was also allocated more than 3,000 horsemen.

Each team is about 4,000 people, and there are a total of ten teams, that is, 40,000 soldiers and horses, which is the core force under Li Zicheng today.

Those hungry soldiers were just consumables, and Li Zicheng didn't count them.

Infantry and starving soldiers are generally temporarily assigned to each team during wartime, and they are handled in the same way as before.

Each two teams is a battalion, with five battalions in the front, rear, left, right, and the CCP.

In addition to these five battalions, Li Zicheng also set up a battalion led by himself, called the standard battalion.

The standard camp uses the red flag yellow pattern, and Li Zicheng changed his Daxu flag to a white-maned Daxu silver floating tu.

The left battalion white flag, the right battalion red flag, the front battalion black flag, the rear battalion blue flag, the middle battalion yellow flag.

The color of each battalion is the same as that of the battalion flag.

Li Zicheng retracted his gaze, turned the horse's head again, and looked south.

There are wolves in the north, tigers in the east, and chasing soldiers in the west, which seems to be no road, but in fact, the bright road is in front of you.

At this time, to the south, there were only a few thousand battalions between the mountains and mountains......

In Sichuan Province, most of the Sichuan soldiers who rushed to Chengdu to aid Chengdu should have dispersed.

At this time, who would have thought that if you crossed the Guan Mountain and broke into northern Sichuan?!

Today's shouldn't be water, right?

During this time, my brain may have really burned out, my head was blank yesterday, and I couldn't even write a complete paragraph Ali, but today I have recovered some state, and I am really in prison.
