On February 21st of the second year of Chongzhen, the northern Shaanxi frontier army, eager to make meritorious deeds, began to launch a fierce attack on Ansai City. The rebel party, with Li Yangchun as the main general, assembled more than 30,000 people to garrison Ansai City. Li Yangchun ran Ansai City like
With the copper and iron walls and a large number of rolling logs, the northern Shaanxi frontier army could not successfully attack the city after a day of strong attack.
After suffering nearly a thousand casualties, the General Guangzhou finally reluctantly issued an order to withdraw its troops.
After withdrawing from the battlefield, Wang Guo, Li Xianzong, Cui Zongyin and others gathered together and discussed for a long time, but could not come up with any good solution. If the rebels left the city, the northern Shaanxi border army would not be afraid, but the rebels were determined to retreat.
There was really nothing they could do against them in Ansai City. In order to lure out the rebels, Li Xianzong made a move to bypass Ansai and attack Yan'an Prefecture, but the rebels did not take the bait at all.
It was another sleepless night, and Wang Guo and others were not sleepy at all. Now they were under a lot of pressure. The three towns of Xuanfu had made a great contribution early, but the border troops in several towns in Ningxia had more.
The military strength has not yet achieved any success. If we don't show some results, I'm afraid the court will be held accountable, and then Guo Guo and others will definitely not be able to get any favors.
The important towns on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty are also divided into levels. Liaodong, Xuanfu, Jizhen, and Datongfu are the royal sons. In comparison, the other towns are the stepmothers. Especially Xuanfu, which is Jiuzhen.
As the leader of the border, everything is given priority. Even if Xuanfu makes a mistake, the general soldiers above will protect him.
Tie Mo, who has recently emerged and gained fame, is obviously just a small guerrilla general, but the bargaining chip he holds in his hand is comparable to that of the general army of Gansu.
It was midnight, the night was as cold as water, Wang Guo and others all frowned, with expressions on their faces as if they had eaten a dead mouse. They wanted to make meritorious deeds, but failed at all, which would make anyone feel sad.
Cui Zongyin's ears moved, as if he heard something moving outside, "Guys, did you hear anything moving outside? Something seems to have happened."
"Huh? Really? Why didn't I hear it?" Li Guoqi listened, then shook his head. Wang Guoqi and others spread their hands and said they didn't hear any unusual noise.
Cui Zongyin couldn't help scratching his head, thinking that he heard wrongly. But after a while, the noise became louder and louder. Not to mention Cui Zongyin, even Li Guoqi and others' expressions changed drastically. Wang Guo stood up and shouted angrily outside.
: "What's going on outside?"
After a while, soldiers ran in in a panic, "Oh no, some generals and some of the leaders of the general team have rebelled. There are many people who responded. Now the west side of the town has been occupied by rebels. The rebels
We are heading here to fight."
"What?" Li Guoqi's face darkened and he almost fainted. He swayed and immediately looked at the Kingdom of the General next to him. To the west of the town, that was the Kingdom's headquarters, which meant that the main force of the rebels was from the Kingdom.
Wang Guo's face immediately swelled to the color of pig's liver, and he was extremely ugly. "It's just a request. What kind of son is causing trouble at this time? It's not going to cost our lives. I'm going to kill him."
Wang Guo and others did not dare to neglect, and quickly organized manpower to suppress the rebellion. Soon, the two sides met, and when they found out that the leader of the rebellion was General Li Zicheng, Wang Guo was so angry that he cursed.
"Li Zicheng, you idiot, I was lucky enough to take you in and promote you to the position of general manager. Is this how you repay me?"
If others had rebelled, the kingdom would not be so angry, but the one who led the rebellion was Li Zicheng, whom he trusted very much.
Li Zicheng worked at the post station in his early years. Later, the post station was abolished. Li Zicheng failed to cause trouble and returned to his hometown. He also killed someone because of his wife. It can be said that the things Li Zicheng committed were enough to behead him twice. At that time, Wang Guo saw that Li Zicheng was tall and talented.
He was so powerful that he began to cherish his talents and let Li Zicheng join his team, and he was promoted to a general manager in a short period of time.
The kingdom truly cultivated Li Zicheng as a confidant, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect that his confidant and beloved general would actually lead the rebellion at this critical moment.
How could the kingdom not be angry, but Li Zicheng looked serious and shouted solemnly: "General Wang Shen, Li thanks you for your life-saving grace, but you have deprived your brothers of their military pay and pocketed their pensions in the past two years. It is really too much."
It's too much. You are so perverse and disregard the lives of your brothers. Li must do something..."
"Fuck your mother, Li Zicheng, you piece of shit, you're still talking plausibly." Wang Guo was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He had deducted some military pay, but he really didn't dare to squander it for himself. Anyone who leads an army knows how to squander it for himself.
What is the end of the pension? No matter how greedy the general is, he will not touch the pension.
The northern Shaanxi frontier army's pay was insufficient. He couldn't blame his kingdom entirely, and there was nothing he could do about the insufficient pay and silver provided by the court. However, Li Zicheng's words put all the blame on his kingdom.
The most hateful thing is that when the military pay was withheld in the past, Li Zicheng did not benefit from it? Now Li Zicheng touched his upper and lower lips and pushed everything away.
"Li Zicheng, I must clean up the house with my own hands today!"
Wang Guo held an iron halberd and wanted to kill Li Zicheng. Li Guoqi and others also gathered their troops and cooperated seriously. In order to exterminate the rebels, they worked together surprisingly. They all knew in their hearts that if they did not exterminate the rebels as soon as possible, they would wait.
At daybreak, before the rebels in Ansai City came to kill them, the troops on our side were demoralized and collapsed.
Although the kingdom has been pampered in recent years, his kung fu has not weakened much. An iron halberd danced like a whirlwind in his hand. At this time, he was full of anger and murderous intent, and he was allowed to rush into the formation for a while.
As a result, the rebels were retreating steadily.
Li Zicheng did not expect that the kingdom would be so fierce and actually charge into the battle himself. In the blink of an eye, the kingdom was in front of him. Li Zicheng wanted to retreat, but he could not. With this retreat, the plan for tonight's rebellion was completely shattered.
Soon, Li Zicheng and Guo Guo came into contact. After they really fought together, Li Zicheng realized that he had underestimated Guo Guo before. Before, he felt that Guo Guo was sitting behind and talking, and he might not have any real ability. Now it seems that Jiubian
Anyone who can serve as a general or a guerrilla general in a major town will have some real skills under his command.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, the Kingdom's iron halberd swept across and passed by at a tricky angle. Li Zi stood on the ground with his long spear and jumped into the air, and was able to escape. But even so, a wound was still made on his waist.
Wang Guo shouted loudly and sneered: "Li Zicheng, if I don't kill you tonight, you will not be a human being, so you should die!"
Li Zicheng was horrified. He really didn't expect that Wang Guo would become more and more courageous as he fought. Now, Li Zicheng didn't dare to take the fight forcefully and quickly stepped back. However, Guo Guo kept moving and pressed forward.
