It can't go on like this, Li Zicheng knows very well that the current Ming army seems to be understaffed, but there should be a new force in the camp of the Ming army, and the most important "champion Hou" of the Ming army has not appeared.

Also, if you delay for a day or two, then the Ming army around me may have to arrive, Liu Zeqing, Zuo Liangyu and other subordinates, no matter how timid Liu Zeqing is, but he can also make up the numbers, and he also has tens of thousands of horses.

Zuo Liangyu can also fight, although he will not wave the whole army to the north, but sending an elite army is also disastrous for the army at this time, and the Qinwang army in various places is probably thinking about Li Zichengxiang's head in exchange for the wealth of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is not exhausted!

No way! Li Zicheng didn't think about it for too long, although he regrets it now, but he will not give up, otherwise he would not have played the banner of "Chuang" again after the main force was destroyed.

Organize the dead to counterattack again, but this time they can't attack from the flanks, and now they need to cross the moat to attack, Hao Shaoqi doesn't know where it is, but he still has Li Shuangxi, this godson, after a promise, Li Shuangxi had no choice but to face the firepower of the Ming army.

In the army, there are too many people who are not afraid of death, because most of them only have a bad life, after some encouragement and promise, Li Shuangxi recruited more than 1,000 dead soldiers, collected, each put on armor, first drank wine and ate meat, and then had to fight hard to seal his wife and son!

Li Zicheng promised that this success, this time the selection of warriors, will all be given hereditary positions, so they can't help but fight!

What they are facing is only a bird gun, or a breech gun, this kind of death is meaningless, Yang Yi does not have much time, and he is not very concerned, although the bird gun has undergone some transformation, but the improvement is not great.

The previous shooting process of the bird gun can be divided into the following steps: pouring the gunpowder (pouring the gunpowder from the canister into the tube, firing 1 round per tube), charging (pouring the gunpowder from the mouth of the gun into the gun), pressing the fire (compacting and pressing the gunpowder in the chamber with the gun), loading (taking out the projectile and loading it into the chamber, and then pressing the projectile into the gunpowder with the gun, loading the door powder (pouring the gunpowder in the powder jar into the fire door of the chamber, filling the chamber to connect it with the gunpowder in the chamber, and then closing the fire door cover to prevent moisture), Loading the fire rope (loading the fire rope into the faucet clamp of the trigger and preparing for ignition) is ready to be fired, and the shooter is in a state of readiness. When shooting, you need to open the fire door cover, light the fire rope, aim in a squatting position or stand and pull the trigger to fire; In case of emergency, it can also be ignited directly at the fire door without aiming and firing.

Today's bird guns use paper shell fixed ammunition, eliminating some steps, but the ignition device still has time to study and correct, in the face of these dead soldiers are not afraid of death, although at first very calm shooting, shooting......

However, after all, there will be a break in time, and now the ammunition they carry is not enough, and there is not much to make in the capital, although the craftsmen of the army are also stepping up their construction, but they are using it faster.

Li Shuangxi seized the opportunity, climbed over the temporary defense line in one fell swoop, and entered the firearms battalion, the gun without a bayonet, that is, a burning stick, and the short knife he carried faced the thieves, and it did not have much power.

Li Zicheng seized the opportunity, immediately urged the troops, and once the whole army pressed up, the Ming army also knew at this time that retreat was defeat, so they could only resist desperately.

But it's not when it's useful to fight to the death, Li Zicheng is also fighting to the death, fighting more ruthlessly, he even went into battle in person, and the generals of the Ming army are all commanding in the rear, this is the gap, this gap led to the defeat of the Ming army again!

The firearms battalion, the infantry army and even the cavalry army were all pressed by Li Chuangjun to the front of the camp, this time Zhang Shize no longer had the power to return to the sky, he could only retreat gradually, but fortunately he was the battalion step by step before, and now these arrangements have not allowed all the Ming troops to be wiped out here.

Li Zicheng felt that he had won the battle; There are not many Ming troops still resisting on the battlefield, and they are all driven in the direction of Lao Pig Mountain.

The battle of the Ming army camp under the old pig mountain ended before the time passed, after paying thousands of casualties, the warriors of the army finally broke through the defense of the Ming army and rushed into the camp, after a short and fierce fight, Li Zicheng's "Chuang" word Daxu fluttered high on the Ming army camp - Li Zicheng himself, and now he has also moved here, waiting for the good news that the old pig mountain was recovered.

In the corner of the battlefield, the more than 10,000 infantry cavalry commanded by Li Yanhong also won the battle and drove away the heavy cavalry of the Ming army, but Li Zicheng did not let Li Yan return, but ordered him to continue to lead the troops to chase and kill the heavy cavalry of the Ming army!

This is the one he values the most, if it weren't for this Ming army's heavy cavalry, how could this battle be so difficult to fight?

Hao Shaoqi also led his department to chase and kill the remnants of the Ming army everywhere at this time, about half of his troops were cavalry, and it was really easy to cut melons and chop vegetables to chase and kill the infantry of these remnants of the Ming army!

Li Zicheng, who has fought an old battle, knows too well, the real confrontation between the two armies, when you come and go, you can't kill many people, especially the two sides of the confrontation are relatively regular, when the soldiers have a suit of armor to protect their lives, it is not easy to hack a person to death, even if you take an armor-piercing blunt weapon to beat, it will take a lot of effort to knock a big living person to death, after all, you are facing a person, how can you be so honest to knock, you can't use the shield and the weapon to resist? The cold ones have to knock back.

But once the winner is divided, when one side begins to flee in a hurry, it can be easy to slaughter, and it is a one-sided slaughter, the pursued side loses its armor, and there is no way to form a strong formation, and if the chasing side has a lot of cavalry, the tail rank pursues, it can chase tens of thousands of enemies alive.

Li Zicheng, who is the best at using cavalry, how could he let go of such an opportunity? So at this time, he let all the cavalry go to chase and kill the remnants of the Ming army, and he took the infantry battalion to occupy the camp of the Ming army and cut off the back road of the remnants of the Ming army.

In addition, Li Yan's pursuit did not have much success, the heavy cavalry of the Ming army was too powerful, and the heavy cavalry of the Ming army, which had been active on the battlefield since the morning, was repeatedly tug-of-war, but broke away from Li Yan's pursuit and went to rest.

They were not repelled by the cavalry of the invading army, but they were beaten until they were sleepy and tired, and they had to retreat, but they did not retreat far, and went around to the other side of the old pig mountain, where there was a camp arranged by the Ming army before, and Li Yan could not rashly pursue it at this time.

After all, this heavy armored cavalry, in the previous battle, they showed great courage, and defeated thousands of cavalry before and after, but their withdrawal made the knights on the battlefield breathe a sigh of relief.

Only five people on your own side can replace one person on the other side, and even when the team is attacking, ten people can replace one on the other side, this casualty ratio is doubly careful for anyone.

However, there are more than 1,000 people in total, with them or not, they can't change the outcome of today's battle of Zezhou, if there is no entanglement between the firearms battalion and the main force of the infantry army, this Ming army heavy cavalry will not have such great results, and waiting for the end of this battle, this Ming army heavy cavalry is not to worry.

The retreat was cut off, no matter how desperate the remnants of the Ming army were, at this time in the face of the numerical superiority of the intruding army, it was difficult to escape, they were not cavalry, they could not run away from the encirclement, and they could not run away from the enemy's pursuit.

At this time, most of the army was already cleaning the battlefield, the Ming army sent too many clothes and armor, and all kinds of weapons, all of which were better than those used by the army, Li Zicheng felt that he had made a fortune, and it seemed that he would be able to counterattack the Ming Dynasty's Beijing division again soon.

"Your Majesty, the Zhu thief on the Old Pig Mountain still refuses to surrender! And he was very stubborn, and killed Hao Shaoqi, who was sent up the mountain to persuade him to surrender! ”

Gu Junen broke in in a hurry, saluted Li Zicheng, who was dreaming, and then reported the result of persuasion.

Li Zicheng didn't care too much when he heard that Hao Shaoqi was killed, this Hao Shaoqi, Li Zicheng was originally used as a dead soldier, who let him bury the tens of thousands of elite horsemen who were vital to the Great Shun Kingdom, if there were tens of thousands of elite horsemen, where would it be like now, so difficult.

Today, Hao Shaoqi was sent several times to be a dead soldier, if he made a great contribution, Li Zicheng might let him go, after all, Liu Zongmin also died, but although Hao Shaoqi made meritorious contributions, they were all inconsequential merits, especially the artillery that damaged the Ming army, they were all killed there, and they were not damaged, otherwise, this old pig mountain would have been beaten down today, so Li Zicheng only snorted: "Looking for a better coffin, it has converged." ”

"Your Majesty," Gu Junen hesitated for a moment before he said, "Only come back with a body, no head!" ”

"No head?" Li Zicheng didn't care, "Then build a shorter coffin." ”

"Yes." Gu Junen answered, but he didn't move to mourn Hao Shaoqi, Niu Jinxing was not there, and Niu Jinxing's dogleg Song Xiance was nowhere to be found, this was a good time, and he still had to give advice to Li Zicheng to make up for his previous mistakes.

After all, there are many people competing for the position of this military division, and Gu Junen has heard that Liu Fangliang is also doing this errand now.

In addition, there is also Li Yan, these two are both Yunwen and Yunwu people, relatively speaking, the threat is greater, Gu Junen can't get used to it, these martial artists, it's not okay to go to the general? Still want to be prime minister?

"Your Majesty," Gu Junen said at this time, "On the Old Pig Mountain, according to the minister's estimates, there are at most more than 10,000 people left, and in this battle, we have destroyed at least 30,000 Zhu thieves, and there are thousands of prisoners alone, this is a great victory!" ”

He only said half of his words, because what he said later might not be in line with Li Zicheng's heart, he had already heard Liu Fangliang's previous advice in times of crisis, but Gu Junen did not dare to agree.

The first battle in the capital made his military plan go down the drain, and also made him turn from adventurism to conservatism, and he didn't want the capital of the Ming Dynasty anymore.

He thought that at this time, the Ming army suffered such a big loss, and it should not have the strength to continue the pursuit, and Li Zicheng should return to the division.

This battle knocked out tens of thousands of Ming troops, presumably to make the "Qinwang Army" who wanted to pick up cheap ones frightened, and did not want to go to Jizhou, Jizhou, and Yuzhou, and returned to Yongzhou, and it was not too late to make plans.

Li Zicheng nodded at this time, was praised happily, and laughed: "It is indeed a great victory, if you fight for another day, you should be able to take the old pig mountain, the Zhu family thieves here are elite, destroy them, Chongzhen is really hurting the vitality!" ”

Li Zicheng has not dealt with the Ming army for a short time, and naturally knows that the ordinary Ming army is a number, and the real combat effectiveness is still the family of those generals, if you can't eliminate the family of those generals, it is useless to kill many ordinary Ming soldiers.

Because there are people in the Ming Dynasty, they will soon be able to make a comeback again, and the Ming army on Lao Pig Mountain is so stubborn and so capable of fighting, most of them are mainly troops of those noble families, so Li Zicheng wants to take advantage of the hot iron and destroy them in one fell swoop!

He believes that this is the key to his failure to conquer the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but he has not been happy for a long time, and Gu Junen's words at this time made his face immediately cloudy.

"Your Majesty, the book says: The more ten years of life and gathering, and the ten years of lessons, twenty years away, Wu Qi is a swamp!

During the Spring and Autumn Period of that year, Wu Yue competed for hegemony, and King Yunchang of Yue died, and his son Gou Jian succeeded him. The soldiers and people of the Yue State hated the behavior of the Wu State taking advantage of the danger of the people, hated the enemy, resisted hard, and defeated the Wu army, and the King of Wu was wounded and died on the way back.

After Wu Wangfu succeeded to the throne, he devoted himself to preparing for war for three years, led the revenge army to kill the Yue country, the Yue army was annihilated, Gou Jian fled to Huiji Mountain, and the more he asked Wu for peace.

After that, the king of Yue Goujian took his wife and the minister Fan Li to Wu to serve hard labor, the king of Yue to Lu to see the grave, to feed the husband to the horse, but also to the husband to take off his shoes, ridicule and humiliation.

Wu Zixu said: "Yue Guo will use ten years of recuperation and gathering, and another ten years of education and training, and after twenty years, Wu will become a quagmire!" ”

Later, the Yue State raised troops again, destroyed the Wu State, and the husband committed suicide; Please Your Majesty, stop the banner, take Yongliang as the base, and annex Shuchuan......"

Gu Junen's military strategy, Li Zicheng listened very unpleasantly, and at the same time, the Ming army camp on Lao Pig Mountain was already completely on high alert.

At this time, looking at Wang Dou sitting at the top, Zhang Shize also became nervous, he didn't expect that this Ming army, which was organized and spent a lot of their nobles, faced with an army that was about the same number as them, was defeated in just one day, and now there are only so many people left.

The rest are either eliminated by Li Zicheng, or they are being eliminated, and the thieves are so capable of fighting?

At this time, Zhang Shize remembered his brother who served as the chief soldier of Jizhen, why he was able to defeat tens of thousands of thieves, and also beheaded Liu Zongmin, the first general of the thief army, and now he has been named "Marquis of Changping".

Changping Hou, this title has been awarded few in the past dynasties, all of them are great generals, the most famous is the general Wei Qing when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although at this time, the title is not valuable, but it is not easy to receive this title, at least, Zhang Shize is very jealous.
