Chang Yu, the team brought out of Beijing, is all one in a million, and he must be big, strong, and morale, and the only shortcoming is the lack of actual combat experience.

The battle between Jiaocheng and Li Guo was regarded as the real debut battle of this team, and the heavy casualty ratio made Chang Yu see the gap between the actual battles, and he made up his mind to sharpen his knives.

At the beginning of the war, if the palace name was used, it would definitely cause serious casualties, and Chang Yu was reluctant, after all, he was a descendant.

But at this time, the thief army has seen a decline, and sending men and horses to pick up leaks on the periphery is the best time to sharpen their knives.

"Lord Jin, if our family were you, we would go out of the city to kill the generals at this time!" Chang Yu looked at Zhu Xianxuan, who had been in a nervous and excited mood, and smiled, turned around and walked south along the city wall.

Guo Ren and other archers followed closely behind, leaving Zhu Xianxuan, who was stunned, looking left and right at the family around him, not knowing what to say.

There is a corner tower at the southwest corner of the city wall, which is used for lookout and reserve armaments on weekdays.

Chang Yu climbed the stairs, accompanied by the three bow and arrow masters, and the rest of the people were on guard at the periphery of the corner tower, and downstairs there were brocade guards with knives on guard.

The wind is tight in the sky, Chang Yu stands by the railing, there is a sound of killing in his ears, looking around, the Ximen thief army has begun to retreat, but the south gate is the most fierce, the enemy and I are fighting hard in the trench area, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior for a while.

Chang Yu frowned and stared at the battle situation in the south of the city.

The Great South Gate has always been the main point of attack of the thief army, no matter how Li Zicheng transferred troops to attack other gates, Chang Yu concluded that he must regard this gate as the main point of attack.

He has a good reason, first of all, the north gate has been eliminated in the rear, the outer moat of the west gate is the main road of the Fen River, the river is wide and deep, once the suspension bridge is cut, the river breaks the ice, and it is extremely difficult for the thief army to carry a heavy load across the river to attack the city.

As for the east gate, although there are fewer moats than the south gate, and the moat is also of regular width and depth, if the thief army wants to go through, they must first go around the ditch of the south gate, and the officers and soldiers feel that it is impossible for him to easily do so.

So instead of going to great lengths, why not step on the trench outside the Great South Gate and attack the city directly!

Therefore, Li Zicheng's main force has always been arranged here, and at this time, Liu Zongmin, the first person under his command, is the main general, and Li Guo is the deputy general.

Lay down heavy troops, mobilize baggage and prepare for lunch, and then attack the three gates together, and strive to break the door, at least to the city!

Who would have thought that when he was still preparing, suddenly the drums on the city of Taiyuan were like rain, and the city gate was wide open, and the officers and soldiers actually crossed the river and entered the trench position to launch an active attack, of course, a long-range attack, so that a vanguard of men and horses who were ready to attack on the trench position he originally occupied received heavy losses and retreated again and again.

A few meanings, why did you suddenly take the initiative to attack?

Mischievous!

When Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin were stunned, they were happy to send people to teach the officers and soldiers a lesson.

Who knows, suddenly I heard a loud explosion of killing in the west of the city, and then there was also news from the east, and the officers and soldiers went out of the city to take the initiative to attack!

In addition to being surprised, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others were overjoyed, the officers and soldiers took the initiative to fight, and the meat sent to the door was punished by God if they didn't eat it, so they immediately ordered an all-out counterattack.

The Great War is in full swing!

Liu Zongmin commanded his subordinates to counterattack head-on, and Li Guo led the two wings to assist, and their goal was to break through the outer fortifications of the Great South Gate in one fell swoop, and cross the river to kill the city.

After Li Zicheng settled in the battle, he and a group of military advisers looked at the overall situation, their expressions were heavy and they could not hide a trace of joy, but they also wondered why the officers and soldiers took the initiative so much.

However, after the half-pillar of incense, Li Zicheng and the others had doubts in their hearts, but that trace of joy was gone, and the battle reports sent by Tanma from time to time made their faces extremely embarrassed.

The officers and soldiers of Xicheng dispatched nearly 30,000 or 40,000 horses, Gu Ying and Luo Hu were gradually defeated, and the officers and soldiers of Dongcheng sent nearly 30,000 troops.

Li Zicheng and the generals were amazed that there were more than 50,000 officers and soldiers in Taiyuan City as they expected, but now it seems that only the east and west cities combined have 60,000 or 70,000, and the officers and soldiers who are fighting with his main force on the opposite side are also more than 30,000, so there are 100,000 officers and soldiers in Taiyuan!

Li Zicheng's heart was cold, a miscalculation, a wrong step, the battle of Taiyuan, the confusion, eyes to the Great South Gate City, the crowding figures, Zhou Yuji, are you a roadblock?

The two wings are invincible, and the current main force can't attack for a long time, which makes Li Zicheng's heart more and more impatient, and he can only know the battle situation on the east and west wings from the mouths of the heralds, but the battle situation on the side of the Great South Gate is clear under his nose............

The officers and men fought shamelessly and trickily, first pouring into the trenches to get close to the vanguard of the thief army, using bows and arrows as a guide to detonate the battle, and when the thief army attacked in a big way, they retreated several trenches one after another to lure them forward.

The two sides were separated by a trench, and did not meet each other for a short time, only shooting each other with bows and arrows, but when the thieves suppressed the officers and soldiers with bows and arrows, and built a bridge with wooden planks to let the infantry advance, they suddenly found that the officers and soldiers died down, and there was almost no resistance, and the vanguard thief Liu Tichun was stunned at first, and then scolded the officers and soldiers for being shameless, and it turned out that the officers and soldiers were actually picking up the arrow feathers shot by the thief army

Straw boat borrowing arrows?

Damn, even the grass boat is saved, and it's shameless to eat fruit like this!

Moreover, in the fierce battle, there is still effort to take advantage of this, and the officers and soldiers have to be convinced whether there is a tumor in their heads.

The reason why the officers and men dared to take advantage of the current fierce battle was naturally premeditated and had the advantage of the location.

Because the two sides are separated by intricate trenches, which are more than three meters wide, it is not easy for the thief army, whether it is infantry or cavalry, to rush over, first of all, it is necessary to build wooden bridges, and there are reserved trails on the side of the officers and soldiers, so they can advance and retreat freely, of course, when they retreat, they will immediately dig those trails.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were so shamelessly taking advantage, Liu Tichun was furious and ordered the team to rush over quickly.

At this time, the officers and soldiers rushed over and fired head-on, causing heavy losses to the thief army, and for a time they did not even give a chance to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

However, this style of play will not last long in the end, and it is inevitable that the hand-to-hand combat is inevitable, it is only a matter of time, and Li Zicheng in the rear can also see this, so he is not too worried, but he is psychologically up and down the battle situation on both wings.

It is said that the thief army has more than 200,000 troops at this time, and he can immediately transfer troops to support the two wings.

But don't forget, when Li Zicheng went out from Xi'an, although he claimed to be a million army, the total strength was only 60,000, of which 20,000 were led by Liu Fangliang to take the east road, and it was only 40,000 main forces.

At this time, although the number of people who picked up rags all the way reached two or three hundred thousand, (it is said that when Taiyuan City was broken and Ningwu Pass was broken in history, the number of people reached more than 500,000), but these cannon fodder were used to move bricks and shout and cheer.

At this time, the fighting spirit and morale of the officers and soldiers in Taiyuan were rare for him in the past few years, and judging from the several active battles, they were not just hard stubble or ruthless stubble.

Two-thirds of the 40,000 main forces fought fiercely at the Great South Gate, one-third fought at the West Gate, and almost all of the troops at the East Gate were newly recruited, and the three gates used 100,000 troops to attack, which had already occupied all the existing forces on hand, and the rest were only pure cannon fodder for those displaced people, and they couldn't intervene at all at this time.

In this fierce battle, the two sides can be said to have exhausted their forces, and the enemy attacked 200,000 troops outside the city.

As long as the main force captures the Great South Gate, the two wings will have the power to assist, whether they win or lose, it doesn't matter, Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and ordered Liu Zongmin to attack.

Chang Yu on the southwest corner of the building, looking high and far away, looked beyond the battlefield of the south gate, until the back of the thief army, trying to find Li Zicheng's figure, even if he used his clairvoyance to find it for a long time, he still couldn't.

Immediately retracted his gaze and turned to look at the battlefield outside Zhenwu Gate, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Report, Master Changgong, King Jin has led his family out of the city"! A brocade guard hurriedly came to report.

Chang Yu was stunned, then looked down, and just saw a cavalry of about 200 people galloping out and crossing the moat.

Brother-in-law, take care! Chang Yu meditated.

"Report, factory father, the enemy at the east gate is defeated!" Another herald arrived.

Chang Yu was taken aback, in his opinion, the thief army launched at the same time, and the Great South Gate bore the brunt of it, and its main force was the most difficult to deal with, but the South Gate was well fortified, although it was difficult to deal with, but it could not suffer any big losses.

There is not much difference between the more than 20,000 thieves at the east gate and the Niu Yong guarding the gate, and the fortifications are simple, so it should be difficult to fight.

Although Ximen has Luo Hu's Zhenshan camp, he personally sits in the town, and the army is the strongest, and he has more than 10,000 cavalry, and the thief army is extremely difficult to stop under the crush, so he has enough self-confidence, Ximen is the first merit!

It's just that he didn't expect to hear that the East Gate thief army was defeated first, and Niu Yong actually grabbed the first credit, which surprised him.

"East Gate, who is the leader of the thieves?" Chang Yu asked.

"Back to the factory, the thief's head hangs, Chen, white flag!" The Jinyi Guard herald hurriedly said.

Chen Bai, that is Chen Yongfu and Bai Guangen.
