Chapter 355: The Battle of Huangling

The thunder was continuous, the rain was pouring down, and the sky was dark.

Kuizhou Mansion, east of Kaixian County, Huangling City.

Huangling City is steep all around, down to the valley, the terrain is dangerous

To the north is Shizhuguan and Xiong'er Mountain, to the west there is Yingxian Mountain, to the south is Pengxi River, and to the east is Yufeng Mountain and Yunyang County.

It is an important passage from Kaixian to the east.

In the past, Huangling City was one of the important hubs, and the trade routes were quite prosperous, with many merchants in the city and about 1,000 residents.

It's just that all of this has come to naught with the flow of the Rogue.

Zhang Xianzhong broke into eastern Sichuan in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and broke through Huangling City all the way, burning the entire city.

Most of the city walls and arrow towers of Huangling City have also been demolished.

Huangling City has long been turned into a ruined wall.

However, at this time, the dilapidated Huangling City has regained its popularity.

In the west of Huangling City, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp of the Ming army, a group of generals gathered in it, sitting in the first seat like a tiger, with a solemn expression.

The enemy is near, but far away.

Zhang Xianzhong was in Huangling City, less than three or four miles to the east of them, which could be regarded as close at hand.

But the reason why he is far away in the world is because at this time the rain is pouring in, the wind is rushing and rolling, and the pursuit for days makes the soldiers under his command tired.

The distance of three or four miles is as far away as a moat.

The reason why the drums were beaten was to discuss whether to continue the march.

Fierce as a tiger preferred to continue the march, but the rest of the generals had different opinions.

If he was in the North, in Ningxia or Xuanda, he still had a way to solve this problem.

But at this time, it was in Sichuan, and now most of the troops under the command of the fierce tiger are battalions under the command of Zuo Liangyu, or the battalions of Sichuan.

The descendants who are as fierce as a tiger can rely on are only more than 600 Jiading cavalry brought from the north.

"Our army has been pursuing all the way for more than 40 days, and the three armies have long run out of strength, and the men and horses are sleepy.

As a guerrilla, Guo Kai took a step forward, his expression was solemn, and he admonished.

"With such a strong wind and rain, the soldiers in all towns and battalions have no will to fight, and forcing them to fight will only make the soldiers disgusted, and many soldiers will definitely be infected with wind and cold after the war."

Guo Kai's words fell, and they also attracted the echo of several military generals around him.

Fierce as a tiger looked at the expressionless generals below, he knew that he was afraid that more than half of the people in the tent had the same idea as Guo Kai, and he was unwilling to fight at this time.

But Fierce as a Tiger is really worried that the night is long and dreamy, and there is no way to completely catch Zhang Xianzhong all the way, which makes him more and more upset.

When he was in the Northland, he was deprived of his official position and sent to the border to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes.

It was Yang Sichang who applied to the imperial court to let him make meritorious service and come to Sichuan to quell the rebellion.

As soon as he arrived in Sichuan, Yang Sichang entrusted him with an important task and made him the president of the thief.

And for such a long time, he has been entrusted by Yang Sichang, and he has not been able to capture Zhang Xianzhong.

Thinking of this, Meng Ruhu still made an effort.

"Zhang Xianzhong is cunning, he escaped the pursuit of our army several times, and at this time he was unable to advance because of the wind and rain, so he gave us a chance."

"We're tired, we're tired, we're hungry, we're hungry."

"As long as we can win this battle and capture Zhang Xianzhong, the war in the south will be settled, and we don't need to run around anymore."

The fierce words fell, and all the generals in the military tent turned their heads sideways, looked away, and responded with silence.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If there is a battalion of soldiers and horses directly under the command who can rely on it, how can the situation deteriorate to this point......

It's just like that

When the tiger wanted to give up, a young general in the military tent came out of the crowd.

"Pursue Lent, turn to fight thousands of miles, this wind and rain is a God-given opportunity, how can you give up?!"

Fierce as a tiger raised his eyes, the young general who came out of the crowd was a general under Zuo Liangyu, named Liu Shijie, who fought bravely, often took the lead, and was famous for his bravery, and his soldiers were also extremely good at fighting.

Liu Shijie's eyes were bright, like a torch in the dim Chinese military tent.

"If the thief escapes again and returns to Huguang, who of you here can escape the reprimand of the court?"

"If the president wants to march, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and destroy the enemy!"

Liu Shijie's words stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and everyone's eyes converged on him.

Some generals seemed to have some strange movements in their eyes, some generals were still expressionless, as if everything had nothing to do with them, and some generals looked embarrassed and resentful, obviously unwilling to fight.

Fierce as a tiger raised his eyes to look at the generals in the tent, his eyes slowly swept over the generals with different expressions.

His expression was constantly changing, the burden of Qianjun was on his shoulders, and everything needed to be borne by him.

Whether it is a battle or a wait, the decision he makes will determine whether he can complete the battle or not.

After a long time.

Meng Ruhu raised his head, he clenched his fists, his eyes regained firmness, and his heart was completely determined.

"Command, gather troops!"

In the Chinese military tent, all the generals turned their eyes to look at the fierce tiger.

"I know that the soldiers in the army are tired and tired, but the enemy is right in front of me, and it is extremely rare to want such an opportunity."

Fierce as a tiger stood up straight, his gaze was calm and impassioned.

"In the name of the president, I hereby make an oath that after winning this battle, I will personally appear in front of the cabinet and ask for credit for you!"

"Obey!"

In the military tent, Liu Shijie was in high spirits, his momentum was high, and he responded loudly.

Guo Kai lowered his eyebrows, sighed, and saluted helplessly, but he was weak when he responded to peace.

"Obey."

After Guo Kai bowed his head, the generals in the tent also lowered their heads, leaned down, and replied.

The military orders were passed down one by one, and the originally silent Ming army camp slowly surged.

The low sound of trumpets echoed around the Ming army camp, and a large number of soldiers and horses began to assemble and move.

Thousands of Ming soldiers of the Ming army poured out from the camps everywhere under the summoning of the military order.

A group of soldiers of the Ming army stepped out of the camp gate like a fiery red stream under the command of generals and colonels at all levels.

Yibiao soldiers and horses were already the first to leave the camp, and the leader of the troops was Liu Shijie, who was seeking battle at the beginning.

Guo Kai led the troops closely, as fierce as a tiger led the troops in the middle, and the rest of the battalions and towns were used as the rear team to respond, following the fierce Daxu, braving the wind and rain to roll forward.

"The officers and soldiers are out of the camp!"

In fact

Without Tangma's return, when Zhang Xianzhong stood on the high slope, he could already see the movements of the officers and soldiers in the city clearly.

Looking at the Ming army coming from afar, Zhang Xianzhong's face was not half afraid at this time.

"Fierce as a tiger, you still can't help it......

In the past few months of confrontation, Zhang Xianzhong has gradually figured out the combat style of this fierce general who was dispatched from the north.

The sound of the rain is becoming more and more sparse, and the rain is decreasing.

A cruel smile appeared on Zhang Xianzhong's face.

"I hope you like this great gift I have prepared for you......
