Chapter 259: The Battle of Zhuxian Town at the End of the Ming Dynasty! Arrogant Left Boss! (Ask for a commuter pass!) )
Chapter 260: The Battle of Zhuxian Town at the End of the Ming Dynasty! Arrogant Left Boss! (Ask for a commuter pass!) )
"If you want to attack its formation, first mess with its heart."
"That's a great idea!"
Lao Zhu took a deep breath and praised loudly.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Lao Zhu himself was born in the Righteous Army, and as a veteran Righteous Army, he best understood the thoughts and habits of this peasant army born with mud legs.
Everyone is a blind stream who can't read a single word, and they join the rebel army with their heads in order to make ends meet, and the establishment is already unstable, and once there is a problem with the leader, it is extremely easy for these people to fall into confusion.
This is also the reason why the peasant army is often called a million army, but as a result, the first war collapsed, and the million army was directly dispersed.
Gather and disperse, all fast.
As you can imagine.
It is not impossible that the two Li Zicheng appeared in front of this group of peasant troops in public, what kind of impact it would cause to the hearts of the people, and even directly lead to the collapse of morale.
"Hui Immortal Master, at the moment, I have successfully entered the rebel army with Li Zicheng and become one of the most powerful leaders in the Northwest rebel army."
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and spoke.
"I have to say, this person does have a talent for rebellion."
Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse has now entered the Son of Heaven class, although the various reforms of the Apocalypse Ming have also begun in full swing, it is different from the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, which has been called the early Ming Dynasty in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
The underlying contradictions accumulated by the Apocalypse are like pus.
Since it is already a pustule, it is obviously unrealistic to want it to disappear quietly.
If you want to cure it, you must let the evil pus drain away.
Rather than waiting for the pustule to develop to the point of ulceration and infection on its own, it is better to prick it actively.
And the one responsible for piercing the pustule of the Apocalypse Daming is the Apocalypse Li Zicheng.
Under the secret funding of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Li Zicheng was like the Burmese Allied Army in later generations, walking in the woods and scattering, from time to time he could pick up a large number of ordnance materials, grain, grass and silver, and even pick up thousands of little brothers with six-pack abs.
These have become the capital of Apocalypse Li Zicheng.
The current Apocalypse Li Zicheng has become one of the founding fathers of the peasant army who took the lead in launching an uprising in the Apocalypse Ming Dynasty, and is directly equal to Gao Yingxiang.
And his next goal is to be the top position within the rebel army, and finally surrender to the imperial court in the way of recruitment.
"Hmm."
Hearing this, Ji Boying nodded slightly.
After two years of human experience, this Apocalypse Li Zicheng should have grown up completely by now.
Eyes, slightly condensed.
Ji Boying's mind instantly locked the position of Li Zicheng, the Great Ming of the Apocalypse, and moved with a thought.
Swish.
In an instant, I saw that on this podium, beside the immortal master, a swarthy man wearing a yellow robe and a majestic temperament appeared.
The temperament that Li Zicheng gives people now is completely different from the honest feeling he had when he first came to Zuixianlou, and he has been the boss for two years, but it is different.
was only stunned for a moment, and Apocalypse Li Zicheng reacted instantly.
first saluted Ji Boying and the Ancestor, and then saluted to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and then stood by with a modest face, standing stiffly, not daring to say a word.
Over the past year, he has become stronger, bald, and smarter.
Although he is now thriving, and he has seventy or eighty thousand younger brothers working for him, Apocalypse Li Zicheng has never forgotten how he got mixed up, and he dare not forget his top-secret identity as the No. 1 spy.
And.
He knew it even better.
I will be suddenly summoned by the immortal master this time, and I must have something to do by myself.
The people present were all the princes of the Ming Dynasty, and with their own value, they didn't even have the qualifications to ask questions, so they could only wait for the arrangement.
"Someone got it for you, how you want to use it next, you decide."
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu and said.
He never cared about the war.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll leave it to us."
Lao Zhu glanced at the well-behaved Apocalypse Li Zicheng and nodded.
"Well, let's go."
The voice fell.
Ji Boying was ready to take Lao Zhu Abiao and Zhu Laosi to Chongzhen Time and Space and start working.
As for the prince of the Great Tomorrow in other time and space, he stayed in the main hall of this Drunken Immortal Building, anyway, there is a holographic projection that can be watched live broadcast, and the effect is the same.
"Immortal Master."
Li Er, who was originally standing on the podium, and Zhao Da, who got up, both of them subconsciously shouted.
That little wistful look.
Understand.
Both of them are martial kings, and this kind of melon that fights in a war naturally wants to eat it.
"Yes."
The immortal master said lightly.
This Zhao Da Li Er, especially Li Er, is an absolute bull fork on top of the grand strategy of military layout, and with these two people by his side to Lao Zhu's staff officer, the fault tolerance rate will inevitably be reduced to the minimum.
The ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are absolutely unparalleled in the world.
Hear the words.
Zhao Da and Li Er were all happy.
Then, both of them turned to look at the future kings who were sitting in their own dioceses.
"You all watch well!"
The observation battle to quell the peasant uprising, whether it was for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty or the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was of great learning significance, and the Huangchao Uprising of the Tang Dynasty and the Fangla Uprising of the Song Dynasty were all vigorous.
"Immortal Master, I won't go this time, I'll stay here to supervise the students and watch the battle carefully."
Ah Biao frowned and spoke up.
Xuebabiao took the initiative to give up the opportunity to go to Chongzhen Daming together and come to this battle in person, which made the warlike kings of Wuzong Zhu Houzhao and Xianzong Zhu Jianshen in the audience itch in their hearts.
Say a word: Brother Dabiao, don't give it to me!
"It's fine."
Ji Boying nodded slightly.
This battle is very valuable for learning, if there is no one to supervise these Zhujia Village sons on the spot, I am afraid that they will play fighting crickets again.
Instead, his eyes glanced at the princes of the great tomorrow sitting under the stage.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"After observing the end of this battle, one person writes a post-war feeling, and the content must have their own opinions and innovative ideas, write after class, and return to their respective time and space after writing."
In a word.
The relaxed and happy expressions on the faces of these princes of Zhujia Village have changed in an instant, and they have to write essays if they eat a melon? !
Chinese teacher, please be a person!
However, no one dared to speak out, let alone express any objection to the Immortal Master's arrangement.
After all, after the news of Lao Wanli's expulsion was announced just now, everyone still has lingering fears.
Because they know it in their hearts.
The so-called expulsion here.
It's not just about losing the qualification to come to Hongwu Drunken Immortal Tower to take classes, but it means losing the throne!
"All deaf?!"
Ah Biao's eyes were sharp, and he swept over the Zhu family under the stage, and broke off.
Since becoming an assistant teacher of the Immortal Master, Ah Biao's prestige in the class has skyrocketed, and now he has been able to replace Lao Zhu, the great grandfather, and directly scold these descendants of the Yan Clan.
Groov.
Under the reprimand, the group of people in the audience all had straight waists, and they all claimed to be.
This scene fell in the eyes of the people of Tangjiabao and Zhaojiazhuang in the foreign diocese, and there was a look of schadenfreude in their eyes, and they were secretly glad that their gang did not have to write.
"You have to write it too."
"And write two!"
Zhao Da Li Er, his eyes swept over each of them, and the moment the words entered his ears, the happy smiles on the faces of these people froze instantly.
Tang Zong and Song Zu's idea is very simple, you are already so far behind, you can't work hard! Let's go to double the specs! This is what our ancestors expected of your love!
The Land of Lesson Plans.
Ji Boying took another sip of the big red robe.
"Let's go."
The teacup in your hand is settled.
Swish.
Ji Boying took Lao Zhu, Zhu Laosi, Zhao Da Li Er, and Apocalypse Li Zicheng and disappeared into the main hall of the Drunken Immortal Building.
Meantime.
The scenery inside the main hall changed rapidly, closely following the location of Ji Boying and the others.
Everyone's eyes were watched.
Only Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was lying on the table alone, the whole person looked sullen, he originally wanted to follow him to the battle array, but he didn't dare to open his mouth at all.
Carrying the name of the king of the dead country, he was already afraid.
…………………………
Chongzhen time and space.
Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.
At this moment, in the middle of this hall, there is a large sand table with a length and width of two zhang, and Tianshun Emperor Zhu Qizhen and Wang Yangming are standing at this table, discussing the Kaifeng battle situation on this sand table.
Swish.
Six figures, accompanied by a slight breeze, appeared on the side of this sand table.
"Meet the Immortal Master, see Grandpa Tai, Grandmaster Tai."
"Meet the immortal master, see Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizongwen."
Tianshun Emperor Zhu Qizhen and Wang Yangming hurriedly saluted.
"Hmm."
Lao Zhu nodded first, and his eyes instantly fell on the sand table in front of him.
frowned.
Zhu Laosi, Zhao Da and Li Er's eyes, the three of them are also looking at this sand table, they are all the masters of the perennial war and the country with martial arts, of course, they are no strangers to the sand table.
And the apocalypse Li Zicheng silently closed his eyes.
An excellent junior brother knows what he can see and what he can't see, so he waits for the arrangement of the big leader with peace of mind, and he doesn't know anything else.
As for Ji Boying.
With all due respect, the immortal master really doesn't understand it.
The real sand table array, the layout on it, is far more elaborate and complex than depicted in film and television dramas.
In the eyes of Ji Boying, this sand table is just a pile of sand with some pile of model punctuation, but in the eyes of old Zhu, Li Er, Zhao Da, and other military strategists and strategists who have been crowned in China for thousands of years, this sand table is a living map.
At a glance, the terrain, mountains, cities, rivers, and how the army can attack and defend in these environments are all as if they were there.
"Tell me about the situation."
Lao Zhu frowned slightly.
Tianshun Emperor Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly, and then took this sand table as the basis and opened his mouth to introduce.
hand, point to a place not far from Kaifeng City.
"Zhu Xianzhen."
Hearing this, Ji Boying frowned slightly.
This place name sounds a little familiar.
"Five days ago, Li Zicheng had already surrounded Kaifeng."
As soon as Emperor Tianshun's words came out, Ji Boying's eyes condensed slightly.
He just shifted the time for ten days, but he didn't expect that King Li Chuang, who was so anxious, and his actions were really too fast, from the day Lao Zhu met King Li Chuang, it was only five days before and after, and he launched Kaifeng three times so quickly, far exceeding the previous estimate.
Obviously, this was stimulated by Lao Zhu.
"Go on."
Lao Zhu nodded slightly, and his eyes also fell on Zhu Xianzhen.
"After Kaifeng was besieged, I immediately issued an order and ordered the nearby troops to rush to help, the most important of which was Zuo Liangyu's department, with a total of 170,000 soldiers and horses."
"Now the armies will join forces in Zhuxian Town."
"My will to them is to form a flanking attack on Li Chuang's thief army with the defenders in Kaifeng City, and fight quickly."
"Hmm."
Hearing this, Lao Zhu and Zhu Laosi both nodded slightly.
Zhu Qizhen's operational arrangement is not wrong.
"In addition, Sun Chuanting's new army is stationed in Tongguan, and I have ordered him to train the army day and night, and not to leave the pass for a short time."
"Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chengzong are also raising their own new armies."
"The issue of military spending has been solved for the time being, and in the past five days, a total of 15,370,000 taels of silver have been obtained from the hands of relatives and nobles, and there is no need to worry about military spending in a short period of time."
Emperor Tianshun was logical, and explained the general situation of Chongzhen Daming's armaments.
"In other words, the first battle at the moment is Zhu Xianzhen."
After Emperor Shun finished introducing him that day, Zhu Laosi frowned slightly, and also pointed his finger towards Zhu Xianzhen.
"Well, the teacher and I are waiting for Zhu Xianzhen's battle report."
"Theoretically, the army should have left Zhuxian Town by now and started to launch an offensive against Kaifeng City."
Emperor Tianshun nodded.
"No need to wait."
A voice suddenly came out.
Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked at the immortal master.
Lao Zhu was even more puzzled in his eyes, and said subconsciously.
"Brother, why is that?"
"The location of this Zhuxian Town is within fifty miles of Kaifeng, as long as you take a short rest, you can launch a fierce attack on Li Zicheng after the whole army, and join forces with the defenders of Kaifeng City to form a front and rear attack, as long as the layout is appropriate, it is not difficult to break the thief army."
"Moreover, even if the thief army encircles the point and sends reinforcements to Zhuxian Town to intercept it, the final result will be very different."
Zhao Da and Li Er, who were watching from the side, also nodded slightly.
"I look at the position of your army in Zhuxian Town, except that it is located at the bottom of the river and is easy to be cut off by the upper stream, there is no other disadvantage."
"However, this battle is a quick battle to break the siege, after the reorganization of the army in Zhuxian Town, the quick attack is the first priority, and it should not be limited by the water source, and the most suitable tactic is to form a flanking attack with the defenders in the city, as Lao Zhu said."
"Of course, I have some small suggestions here, that is, send a light cavalry in advance to escort people who are familiar with the defenders of Kaifeng City to break into Kaifeng City, and inform the defenders in Kaifeng City that reinforcements are coming."
"Because in order not to be flanked by the front and rear, the enemy army will inevitably send a message on a false festival and let the defenders in Kaifeng City defend it to the death."
Li Er analyzed out loud, worthy of being the general of Tiance.
Originally, in the history of Kaifeng, Li Zicheng was worried that the Kaifeng defenders would go out of the city and Zuo Liangyu and other reinforcements to form a flanking situation, so he ordered people to change into the uniform of the Ming army, took the forged Zuo Liangyu order arrow, and shouted to the defenders under the Kaifeng city: "The thief will be captured, but I am afraid that he will sneak into the city, and there are not many soldiers, so he should be strictly guarded and not lightly released."
Li Er: This is obviously a prejudgment of King Li Chuang's prediction.
Ji Boying didn't answer Lao Zhu immediately, his eyes fell on Zhu Xianzhen in this sand table, and his thoughts were slightly condensed.
I see, no wonder the name is so familiar. ’
In later generations, whenever the name of Zhuxian Town was mentioned, the first thing that would come to mind was the two major battles that took place here.
The first war, the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty.
During Yue Fei's Fourth Northern Expedition, he defeated Allah, the female power of the Jin Kingdom Jin Wushu, in Zhuxian Town, and then marched north to recover the old capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Bianjing, making Zhuxian Town famous in history.
Of course, because of the various reasons of Wanyan Gou and Qin Hui, under the twelve gold medals of Wanyan Gou, Yue Wumu's victory disappeared.
The second battle, the battle of the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Zuo Liangyu collapsed in Zhuxian Town, and tens of thousands of elites under his command were lost, and he was driven into Xiangyang by Li Zixiang like a water dog, which saved a small life.
As for the whole process of Zhu Xianzhen's defeat.
It can only be said that everything is fate.
in the original history.
After Li Zicheng opened the three sieges, the Ming court armies that suppressed the rebel army met in Zhuxian Town, and before the new supervisor was in place, he was commanded by the supervisor Ding Qirui before the war.
This was already the last force of the Ming court in suppressing the rebel army, most of which were Zuo Liangyu's Zuojia army.
After Li Zicheng got the news, he immediately decided to leave a part of it to continue to besiege and open the city, personally led the main force to intercept, and occupied the favorable terrain of Zhuxian Town first, and controlled the upstream water source.
Theoretically speaking, there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides, Li Zicheng's wave of Kaifeng, although it is claimed to be one million, but the main force that can bring the interception is only 100,000, while the Ming army is as much as 170,000, even if it is defeated, it will not be so badly defeated.
But the problem lies within the Ming army, which is extremely inconsistent.
The generals of Zhu Xianzhen are all gathered from all over the place, the superiors are not used to the subordinates, the subordinates look down on the superiors, and the equals despise each other.
Zuo Liangyu advocated 'slowing down the attack', after all, he had been beaten by Li Zicheng several times, and it was normal to be afraid.
The commander-in-chief, Hu Dawei, Fang Guoan, and others, advocated attacking as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and should adopt a quick battle and a quick decision.
Ding Qirui, the cowardly and war-feared supervisor, hoped that the Kaifeng defenders could take the initiative to cooperate with the reinforcements and attack the thieves in Kaicheng, but he couldn't wait for a long time, so he had to dig trenches and build fortifications to protect himself.
The opinions of all parties are not unified, even if the highest official supervisor Ding Qirui ordered, he has always been arrogant and the king of heaven Lao Tzu is not in his eyes, and Zuo Liangyu, who supports the army and is self-respecting, is not a bird at all.
Fighting back and forth, in the end there is no unified way of playing, and the army can only stagnate.
With such a delay, it was supposed to be a quick rescue battle, but in the end, it turned out to be the second siege of King Li Chuang in disguise.
It's just that the object of the siege has changed from Kaifeng City to the Ming army in Zhuxian Town.
In addition, because it was a rescue force that was put together quickly, it did not carry too much military rations.
In this way, Li Zicheng first cut off the upper reaches of the river, cut off the water source of the Ming army in Zhuxian Town, and when the Ming army was tired and the army had begun to kill horses to satisfy hunger, he suddenly launched a fierce attack on Zuo Liangyu's department in the middle of the night.
Zuo Liangyu was already afraid of Li Zicheng, and he knew that Li Zicheng wanted to kill himself.
Don't resist at all, just run away from the camp in the dark.
Zuo Liangyu's department was the absolute main force of this Ming army, and as the left army fled without a fight, the rest of the armies were defeated, and the officers and soldiers rushed to flee for their lives, and the scene suddenly went out of control.
And Zuo Liangyu guessed right, Li Zicheng really wanted to get him.
Li Zicheng didn't care about the others, but dug an extremely long circular trench on the way through which Zuo Liangyu ran to Xiangyang, with a depth and width of two zhang each, surrounding a hundred miles.
The second-generation King of Muchuang didn't chase anyone, so he personally led the main force of the Chuang army to bite Zuo Liangyu to death, screaming and chasing wildly, which made Zuo Liangyu think that Li Zicheng had rabies.
The morale of more than 100,000 left troops was weakened, order collapsed, the rear team rushed into the front team, the cavalry trampled on the foot soldiers, the soldiers fell into the deep ditch one after another, the long trench was full of the corpses of the left army officers and soldiers, and the undead groaned and struggled in vain, and the scene was unbearable.
Zuo Liangyu fled to Xiangyang in panic, Ding Qirui led his troops to flee to Guangzhou, Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue fled to Guide, and Hu Dawei and Yang Dezheng also collapsed and fled for their lives.
This battle of Zhuxian Town ended in the defeat of the Ming army, and he didn't even fight a decent battle, and Li Zicheng simply won.
Because of this, Sun Chuanting, who was training in Tongguan, had to bite the bullet.
It was also after this battle that Zuo Liangyu lost most of his elite, and began to completely let himself go, and he didn't care if the rebel army was not rebel, patted his ass and didn't care about anything, and went directly south when the warlord went to the country, when Chongzhen died, Zuo Liangyu seized Wuchang and other places, claiming to have 800,000 soldiers, completely disobeying the orders of the imperial court, and whether he could send troops or not depends on Zuo Liangyu's own mood.
"Go to Zhuxian Town."
Ji Boying said lightly.
Extrapolating from the perspective of time, the Ming army in Zhuxian Town should not have reached the last step yet.
The voice fell.
Swish.
The figures of the people in the Fengtian Temple have all disappeared.
Meantime.
Far away in Hongwu time and space, in the main hall of the Drunken Immortal Building, the depressed Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's figure also disappeared in place at this moment.
………………………
Zhu Xianzhen.
The temporary supreme military command room of the Ming army.
Ding Qirui, the highest official trilateral supervisor on the scene, sat in the handsome position, Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, on the right, Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Ping thief, and other generals such as Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Shaanxi, Yang Dezheng, and the general army Fang Guoan.
The whole military meeting was very quiet, everyone sat silently, and no one spoke.
The most embarrassing thing is the supervisor Ding Qirui, as the highest-level leader, he just finished a speech, to the effect that the situation is very urgent now, and I hope you will make more suggestions.
But.
After the applause, no one opened their mouths, and the scene was so embarrassing.
The reason for not opening his mouth is very simple, because Boss Zuo has not spoken yet.
Boss Zuo didn't speak, and what others said was in vain.
Although the official position that Zuo Liangyu carried on his back was so mediocre among the people, except for the governor Yang Wenyue and the supervisor Ding Qirui, who were higher than him, Hu Dawei and several other general soldiers were not lower than Zuo Liangyu in terms of status.
But.
At present, of the 170,000 Ming troops in Zhuxian Town, 150,000 are Zuo Liangyu's Zuo family army.
The reason why Zuo Liangyu has always been unruly is because the soldiers under his command are all recruited and idle, these people never listen to the court, and only recognize him as the boss of Zuo, because Boss Zuo can stick a knife in the ribs of his brothers, Zuo Liangyu leads the troops, and grabs wherever he goes.
This is what it means to support the army and respect itself.
Boss Zuo's recklessness is obvious to all in the world.
At that time, the Ministry of War asked Zuo Liangyu to hand over the soldiers in his hand to his immediate boss Xiong Wencan, but Zuo Liangyu directly ignored the order of the Ministry of War, just because he looked down on Xiong Wencan and openly disobeyed the military orders of the imperial court.
In the Sichuan-Shaanxi War in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, he directly ignored the orders of his boss Yang Sichang, and directly made Yang Sichang angry to death.
No matter how many superiors have been changed, the superiors are on the move, and the boss Zuo is still immovable.
Because even the irascible brother Chongzhen didn't dare to punish him, so he could only coax.
Even if Boss Zuo loses the battle, in the end, Chongzhen will have to give Zuo Liangyu an uncle, because Chongzhen knows very well that Zuo Liangyu will not necessarily listen to his orders, and Zuo Liangyu really didn't listen.
At the time of the death of the Ming Dynasty, Zuo Liangyu held a solid 200,000 heavy soldiers, seized Wuchang and other places, and was worthy of the name of the emperor of the soil.
When Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zuo Liangyu was extremely oppressive of the finances of the Hongguang Imperial Court in the name of protecting the family and defending the country.
Therefore, don't look at Ding Qirui's highest official position, but the current commander of the Ming army in Zhuxian Town is actually Zuo Liangyu, because the 150,000 Zuo family army only obeys Zuo Liangyu's orders.
This so-called military meeting can only work if Zuo Liangyu approves it.
"Ahem."
Boss Zuo suddenly coughed twice.
Suddenly, Supervisor Ding Qirui instantly sat up straight.
"Don't be nervous, Master, I just don't have a good throat."
Zuo Liangyu grinned, and Ding Qirui's neck suddenly turned red.
Hey, just to tease you!
