Chapter 239: Zhu Jie Arrives

"Attack, give me more than one storm, I don't believe that I can't take this little Lanyang City!"

Li Zicheng roared angrily and gave the order to attack again.

"King Chuang, the situation is a little bad, in the past two days, many soldiers in our army have fallen ill directly, and there is a more and more serious trend, if you want me to say, we might as well return to Kaifeng first, and then make plans, it won't take a few days, General Liu Zongmin's army will arrive here, and when the time comes, with the help of Liu Zongmin's eldest brother's cavalry, we will eat the Ming army effortlessly!"

"No need!"

Li Zicheng was so angry that he couldn't even listen to Li Yan's words, Lanyang City must be attacked, Sun Chuanting must be eaten, and the tiger must be returned to the mountain, it will hurt people, this is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he is killed, it will be almost easy to take away the Ming Dynasty in the future!

The siege of tens of thousands of troops has made Lanyang City crumbling, even if the cavalry is good at fighting, it is in the field, but it is used in the offensive and defensive battles of the city, it does not play a big role.

On the third day, before the sun was bright, Li Zicheng mobilized the whole army again and launched a fierce attack on Lanyang City.

However, there is no chance.

As soon as the offensive began, there was a dense sound of artillery behind the invading army!

One after another, the shells flew from behind and smashed accurately on the battlefield, turning the people who broke the army on their backs, and the army was caught off guard for a big chaos!

"Sneak attack? Someone sneaking up on us from behind? Where did the Ming army come from? ”

Li Zicheng was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered someone to investigate, and at the same time ordered the army to stop the siege and wait for the battle!

Due east, a large army rushed over!

The Ming army, there is a Ming army that is imposing!

"King Chuang, this Ming army is so murderous......"

Li Yan's heart shook and said slowly.

Li Zicheng snorted coldly and replied, "So what? Looking at their appearance, they are only about 20,000 people, and we still have at least 60,000 troops in our hands, so where are they coming? The herald ordered that Yuan Zongdi led the cavalry to defend against the surprise attack of the Ming cavalry in the back, and the other departments launched an all-out attack on the Ming army in front of them! ”

At the sound of an order, more than 40,000 people rushed towards the Ming army in front of them.

From afar, Zhu Jie looked at the rushing army on the war horse, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Li Zicheng, you have been proud for a long time, from now on, it is time for you to be unlucky......"

"My lord, this battle will be handed over to the last general to take the lead!"

Qin Mufeng surrendered his hand and asked for an order.

"You? It's not your turn yet, the order, Qin Han and Xiao Ting, lead the rear army camp and the right army camp to attack! Let the thieves see what the real elite master is! ”

Zhu Jie sneered.

For more than half a year, Zhu Jie had already trained the guards of the 14th Guard of Gyeonggi into an elite hero, without two brushes, Zhu Jie did not dare to be so big, only led an army of 30,000, and dared to enter Henan to encircle and suppress 200,000 thieves!

These 20,000 people are all carefully selected elite forces among the fourteen guards, and after several months of training, each soldier has a strong physique and skillful fighting skills, and can really be called one enemy ten!

Li Zicheng's 40,000 soldiers came rushing and launched an attack on the Ming army, originally thinking that they only had such a small number of troops, just being scared, they could also scare them, and the strength was at least more than twice that of the Ming army!

It's a pity that the Ming army was not frightened, but directly launched a charge, and groups of Ming troops brandished broadswords and spears in their hands and greeted the intruding army.

"Ho-ho-ho!"

A high-pitched roar came out of the mouth of the Ming army, and a bright big knife slashed down towards the breaking army, attack, attack, attack! In the eyes of the soldiers of the Ming army, there is no word to retreat, and they must not be ordered to retreat, and they will be decided! This was the first iron discipline that Zhu Jie set for the Ming army; In addition, as long as you can kill the thief, there is a reward, and the brave wins!

Now is the time to kill the prestige of his Tongzhou Town Hero, just like the Qi family army decades ago, he became famous in the Ming Dynasty!

The army has more than 40,000 people, in front of the elite of Tongzhou Town, it is not possible to take advantage of it at all, just as soon as it fights, it was shocked by the elite of Tongzhou Town's desperate fight, it is really a fight to the death, even if it is a powerful master, in the face of a group of crazy people, it will still be numb in the scalp, even if these Ming soldiers are stabbed through the stomach by a big knife, they will still look at the big knife on the head of the army, and if there is no one in the hand, then bite with teeth! Fearless of death is just a major characteristic of the soldiers of Tongzhou Town, but it is far from everything!

In addition to the fierceness, there is another, that is, coordination, most of the generals and soldiers who broke into the camp came from bandits, and they were just rough copper fur for the war, most of them fought separately, fighting alone, but the Ming army was different, the division of labor was accurate, coordinated operations, and uniformity!

Kill, kill, kill!

Xiao Ting and Qin Han led 10,000 infantry to rush up, killing the intrusive army and retreating, unable to stabilize their position at all!

Li Zicheng and Li Yan glanced at each other, and a trace of horror appeared in their hearts, so fierce, so fierce in battle, their own strength was three times that of the enemy, and they couldn't defeat it, but they were killed and retreated, it was really incredible!

Even if it is in the camp, a large number of displaced people have been gathered, and the combat strength is uneven, so the situation will not be so passive!

"Damn shit!"

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and scolded: "Order Yuan Shizhong to attack with all his might, if it fails, then Lao Tzu will cut off his head!" ”

What Li Zicheng doesn't know is that the current Yuan Shizhong has already complained bitterly, not that he doesn't want to defeat the Ming army, but he really can't beat others, saying that there are more than 40,000 troops, but there are more than 10,000 homeless people, and the combat power of these people is almost negligible in front of the elite of the Ming army.

And the main force of the remaining 30,000 or so people has been fighting fiercely for four or five days in a row, and they are already exhausted, where can they be compared to the tiger and wolf army in front of them?

In less than half a day, the invading army could not support it, and more than 10,000 homeless people collapsed first, scattered and fled, and then the main force of 30,000 began to crumble!

"King Chuang, the situation is not right, Yuan Shizhong really can't support it!"

Li Yan on the side hurriedly shouted, "Look, now the displaced people in front have collapsed, and if we continue to fight, our main force will collapse!" ”

"What!"

Li Zicheng's heart was shocked, more than 40,000 soldiers, but he couldn't beat the opponent less than 20,000! Damn, Yuan Shizhong is really stupid!
