[Merry Christmas, add a new chapter]

At the same time, the two major strategists under Li Zicheng were still arguing.

Niu Jinxing hesitated and said, "I'm afraid there are suspicious soldiers......"

"Suspicious? Zuo Liangyu? Is Zuo Liangyu Zhu Cihong's confidence? That's not even a worry. Zuo Liangyu has already run away, and this variable has also gone. From the beginning, Zuo Liangyu didn't have the determination to fight to the death......"

"If you are worried about the 3rd Infantry Battalion that suddenly appeared, I don't think there is any need to do so. Zhu Qingzhai has caused me a little trouble, and 40,000 troops are trapped here. Hu Dawei is also good, but that's all. From this point of view, although our army is temporarily blocked, how can it not be that Zhu Cihong is poor in donkey skills, so he can only divide his troops to weaken the strength of the main battlefield and hold on to Zhu Qingzhai? ”

"Then why don't you wait for General Gao Yigong on the North Road to approach the Chinese army, and the three generals on the South Road, Tian Jianxiu, break through Zhu Qingzhai? At that time, how can the siege of troops from all sides not have a better chance of victory? ”

"What kind of ability is it to pin the odds on others? The battlefield opportunity is fleeting, so light, I thought it was impossible! ”

"Someone else? Several generals are all generals under King Chuang, what kind of people are they bystanding? Students even think that an army of tens of thousands is not child's play, and they need to think twice! ”

"Enough...... Needless to say! Li Zicheng interrupted the argument between the two. The more they talked, the more chaotic they became, and they all began to attack each other personally: "There is a secret letter, and you should know about it now." ”

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance all had solemn expressions.

I saw Li Zicheng slowly take out an urgent letter that had been opened, threw it to Niu Jinxing and said: "Zhu Cihong does have a backhand, and there are still suspicious soldiers that you don't know before." This. Niu Junshi is not bad. ”

Niu Jinxing's face suddenly turned happy, and Song Xiance still needs to be distinguished. Seeing Li Zicheng waving his hand, he continued: "But what Song Junshi said is not bad. Because...... This suspicious soldier is not in Kaifeng. Instead, he has already gone out of Tongguan and attacked Luoyang! This is an urgent document in Luoyang some time ago. Three hundred miles from Luoyang to Kaifeng, with Sun Chuanting's ability, if he comes in a hurry, I am afraid it will be in the near future. ”

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, Song Xiance hurriedly snatched the secret letter from Niu Jinxing's hand, and when he saw it, he was overjoyed.

For Niu Jinxing, he believes that insisting on waiting for the two-way soldiers to break through successfully. Playing conservative gives you the best chance of winning. On the contrary, it is to send troops now, and the last troops at hand will be wasted, in case Zhu Cihong still has ambush soldiers, he will be passive.

However, Song Xiance thought that the previous layout had been used to successfully involve Zhu Cihong's troops. The soldiers and horses of the two routes should not be expected to play a major role, but take advantage of the emptiness of Zhu Cihong's central army to directly defeat the official army in one fell swoop.

But now, the news of Sun Chuanting's dispatch of troops has completely exceeded the expectations of the two. In terms of process analysis. Bull Venus is right. Judging from the results, Song Xiance was right again.

Of course, Li Zicheng should have known about this for a long time.

Sun Chuanting should have gotten the news when he sent troops from Tongguan, but he suppressed the news early on. After all. Sun Chuanting's prestige was much stronger than that of anyone in Kaifeng. If the army is known, I am afraid that the army's heart will be shaken.

And now, the news has reached the point where it has to be made public. If you continue to hide the news. Let the advisor not have enough information and make a mistake in judgment, then it will be a big mistake because of a small one.

Equally. The attack of the Shaanxi soldiers also meant that Li Zicheng had reached the point of decision.

At this point, the two sides have exhausted their means, whether it is an ambush or a space. Sneak attack or flanking attack, all the methods that can be used are used.

At this moment, Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu had already emptied Zhu Cihong's forces from the north to the south, but Li Zicheng's ordinary means were exhausted.

And Zhu Cihong also ambushed the Shaanxi soldiers early in the morning, making the battlefield more unpredictable.

What is left to Li Zicheng is a choice that hides countless unknowns.

The first option is the conservative nature of what Bull Venus calls conservative. It is indeed prudent to wait for Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu and others to break through the north and south. It can be said that as long as the two soldiers and horses break in, Zhu Cihong, who has no remaining troops, can only be tied.

It only takes three days.

This time is nothing compared to the two years before and after the three attacks on Kaifeng.

But within three days, Sun Chuanting's reinforcements arrived. So...... Li Zicheng, who is on the west side of the battlefield, will face a dilemma between the front and back attacks. Knowing that Luoyang was broken and the back road was cut off, the soldiers who did not know the safety of their families were also shaken by the hearts of the army.

Even if there were still more than 10,000 pro-troops who had not moved at that time, how could they resist Sun Chuanting, who had terrified them as thieves?

Or is it ......

Taking advantage of the fact that the Qin soldiers have not yet arrived, they will give full play to the advantages in their hands and break the main force of the official army in one fell swoop?

Li Zicheng's eyes flashed, he knew that it was time for him to make a choice.

Just when Li Zicheng wanted to say something, suddenly, a person's voice staggered over, only to see Li Yan rushing over, and said eagerly: "General, something is wrong!" ”

At that time, the light stayed last night......

On September 22, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, in the territory within a radius of more than ten miles around Banpodian, when everyone saw the sunset and the dusk came, they all began to slowly withdraw their troops.

From the northernmost Shilianzhuang to the southernmost Zhuqingzhai, they all began to retreat under the squint of the golden dusk. On the battlefield, the only ones who are still active are the wounded soldiers and the auxiliaries who collect the wounded soldiers.

Then, there were camps rising in the rear of the battlefield. The battle was over, and both sides lost the time to return to the camp to rest, and they chose to confront each other and camp nearby.

Zhu Qingzhai.

Qi Xian silently bandaged Liu Zeqing's wounds, and on the side, Hu Zichen strode over, followed by a general with a gray face, who seemed to be Hu Dawei.

"Vice Tiger is coming." Qi Xian used a lot of force, tied the bandage on Liu Zeqing's arm into a dead knot, stood up, and saluted Huhu's minister.

Hu Zichen hurriedly shook his head, but took Hu Dawei and the two of them to sit around the bonfire, and said in a deep voice: "The thief army is fighting fiercely, and it is becoming more and more desperate day by day." Yesterday it was folded by 300, and today it is folded by 800, and I don't know how many serious injuries and minor injuries there are. Liu Junmen, Qi Qianhu, how to fight this battle? ”

"No matter how you fight, you have to guard it." Qi Xian said calmly, he saw the hesitation in Liu Zeqing's eyes: "Your Highness will win." ”

"I've heard this a hundred and eighty times." Hu Zichen sighed heavily: "But Liu Junmen, tell me, we are guarding here, do you really hope?" Do I know that His Highness only has 20,000 soldiers in his hands, how difficult it is to deal with 80,000 thieves? Now that the two-day war is over, how many new forces do you have in the hands of His Highness? ”

Qi Xian stared at Hu Zichen, pursed his lips, and did not speak. (To be continued.) )
