Niu Jinxing went to the county government office before dawn, but waited until dawn before being summoned by Li Zicheng. Standing in the room, Niu Jinxing secretly glanced at Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng's face had no expression, and his eyes were even more decadent.
Soon, this Zamp was finished. Although the officers and soldiers had not yet entered the city, his heart was already defeated.
"General Li, you can leave the green mountains without worrying about having firewood. Now that Mozhupo has been lost, I hope the general will put the overall situation first and leave Yinchuan City as soon as possible."
"Mr. Niu, we have no other choice but to evacuate, right? Haha..." Li Zicheng's smile was indescribably bitter and a bit self-deprecating, "Forget it, notify the surrounding ministries to evacuate Fangzhou southward, from
Zhushan entered the land of Xiangfan. In addition, Zheng Guosong and Li Yan joined forces to prevent the officers and soldiers from Xiangyang from taking advantage of the situation and looting."
When Li Zicheng said this, Niu Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief. He was deeply afraid that Li Zicheng would not be able to let go and would have to fight with the officers and soldiers. In that case, it would be difficult to retreat. Fortunately, Li Zicheng could afford to let go, although now Yin
There are still many rebel soldiers scattered around in the northern part of Sichuan, but there is really no time to wait.
With a move in his heart, Niu Jinxing bowed and said seriously, "General Li, have you forgotten? There is another Zhang Xianzhong in Yinyang City. At this time, that reckless man is waiting to see our excitement. We are about to go
We have to retreat, but we can’t let Zhang Xianzhong see the excitement and get the benefits.”
Speaking of which, Niu Jinxing knew Li Zicheng too well. Li Zicheng was too arrogant. He lost to the Northern Shanxi Army. Li Zicheng just felt that his strength was inferior to others. But if Zhang Xianzhong had calculated it, it would be a disgrace to his ancestors. In Li Zicheng's eyes,
, Zhang Xianzhong can't be accomplished by martial arts, no one can lose to him. Niu Jinxing's words directly pierced Li Zicheng's heart. He couldn't stay in Yinchuan any longer, so Zhang Xianzhong couldn't even think about feeling comfortable. Thinking of the previous paragraph
Time himself sent troops to fight life and death, but Zhang Xianzhong hid in Yinyang to watch the excitement and take advantage of the situation. Li Zicheng lost his composure, "Zhang Xianzhong, you idiot, since you want the Central Plains to be beautiful, then you stay here and live with the people."
The king of hell, please give it a try."
After a long time, Li Zicheng sat in his seat and said something secretly, which made Niu Jinxing completely relieved.
On May 19th, the sixth year of Chongzhen, more than 40,000 soldiers of the Northern Shan Dynasty besieged Yinchuan City. They originally thought that there would be a fierce battle under the walls of Yinchuan City, but no one expected that the expected battle did not happen. With the help of some internal thieves,
The army of Northern Shanxi easily occupied the east wall without a fight, and then surrounded the entire Yinchuan City. However, Li Zicheng, the current leader of the rebel army, led his people out of the west gate and left Yinchuan City directly, taking away Yinchuan City's only 20,000 troops.
Li Zicheng's departure caused the remaining soldiers who were trapped in the north of Yinchuan City to curse. Some even called Li Zicheng a "bastard."
It was so smooth that Tie Mo could not think of resisting too strongly, but it was also too smooth, too smooth.
On this day, the warm sun shone, and the wind that could not control the Yinchuan City. Tens of thousands of northern Shanxi army commanders marched straight in. Countless people were shocked by the majestic military formation. On this day, the concepts of the rogue soldiers who had become prisoners changed. They knew why Li Zicheng would
He left Yinchuan in despair, because facing the majestic army, he had no chance of winning.
It is said that after Li Zicheng left Yinchuan City, he fled all the way to Jingzikou Pass, and Shang Kexi also led his men to pretend to chase him. In Yinyang City, Zhang Xianzhong was in a pretty good mood. Although Li Zicheng was defeated, he also brought the officers and soldiers to justice.
All the attention was attracted, but it was a pity that this guy was so decisive, abandoning the remaining soldiers in the north and retreating to Jingzi Pass.
Zhang Xianzhong was so focused on fighting for power with Li Zicheng that he naturally ignored the mobilization of troops and horses around Henan Mansion.
Zhang Xianzhong was a little too careless, or he got carried away. He didn't pay attention to the situation of the Northern Shanxi Army at all. He didn't even bother to understand the casualties of the Northern Shanxi Army. In his heart, he instinctively felt that the main goal of the officers and soldiers was to cripple them.
Li Zicheng's main army. But he never expected that the Northern Shanxi Army did not pursue Li Zicheng with all its strength. At this time, a troop of soldiers and horses was quietly moving towards Yin Yang. It was not until the army appeared in Lu Zeshan that the spies under Zhang Xianzhong noticed it.
When the news reached Zhang Xianzhong's ears, he was completely stunned. Without any time to think about it, Zhang Xianzhong directly ordered his more than 30,000 troops to march north to Jingzi Pass. Zhang Xianzhong's purpose was simple. He must block the officers and soldiers in Lu Zeshan for a period of time. If he let
The officers and soldiers marched straight in and attacked Yin Yang, leaving Zhang Xianzhong with nowhere to run.
Zhang Xianzhong was a little on the verge of tears. He had previously laughed at Li Zicheng for only running away and not even caring about his brothers. But within two days it was his turn, and that living king of hell was also sick. Now that Li Zicheng was defeated, it was exactly
When you were beating up the drowned dog, why did you turn around and beat me, Zhang Xianzhong? At least Zhang Xianzhong felt that he was quite honest during this period, and he also wanted to imitate Wang Ziyong and be a good boy. He thought that if he lived like this, the King of Hell would not cause trouble for him, but no
Thinking about it, I still couldn't escape.
Soon Luzeshan became a high-profile place. On May 21st, the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong and Zhou Dingshan encountered each other in the area of Luzeshan. The two sides had nothing to say and directly fought each other. This battle lasted for a whole day.
At that time, both sides suffered heavy casualties, especially Zhang Xianzhong's side. How could they endure a direct battle with Zhou Dingshan's army without any preparation?
In comparison, Zhou Dingshan's side is much better. Although there are casualties, they are full of confidence.
The next day, the battle was still the same, but a lot had changed that day. When the two sides were fighting fiercely on the narrow Luze Mountain, two large armies appeared at the north and south ends of the mountain pass. Then several roars were heard, and the sound was like muffled thunder, echoing
From time to time, the rogue soldiers standing in the mountain pass were shaking, as if an earthquake was coming. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong, who stayed in Yinyang City, felt that something was wrong, and sent someone to inquire about the situation. After getting the truth, Zhang Xianzhong and everyone under his command all
Dumbfounded.
Just now, the Northern Shanxi Army secretly came to the north and south ends, used gunpowder to blow down the mountain tops, and blocked the north and south exits. Even other access paths were blocked by huge rocks, and there were even more musketeers waiting for them. In other words, near Luze Mountain
All the rebel soldiers were trapped to death.
Zhang Xianzhong almost didn't cry. At this time, he realized that he had been tricked. The officers and soldiers deliberately attracted the nearby rebels and then blew up the mountain road. This was to kill all Zhang Xianzhong's troops.
Since the end of the war in northern Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong's power has been sharply reduced. The most terrible thing is that two of his three adopted sons died and one escaped, leaving only three out of ten of his troops. He was already weak in strength and wanted to use the Central Plains to recuperate, but Lu Zeshan
The few troops and horses in the first battle were trapped to death by the officers and soldiers again. Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong felt extremely distressed. Zhang Xianzhong really couldn't bear to part with the troops and horses in Lu Zeshan, which was almost his last bargaining chip.
Leading troops to rescue? Zhang Xianzhong didn't dare. He was afraid that the rescue would fail and he would fall into a trap. The living king of hell was so cruel. He had been fighting well with Li Zicheng and suddenly appeared like this. Soon, Zhang Xianzhong made the same decision as Li Zicheng
, that is to run quickly.
Escape was necessary, but the key was where to run. Zhang Xianzhong felt that if he followed Li Zicheng's example and went south to attack Xiangfan, he would probably be out of luck. If he fled to the southwest, the King of Hell would just send an elite force to block Ruzhou.
Then I will only be slaughtered. Therefore, I can only run eastward. The Central Plains is densely populated. As long as the situation is messed up, I am not afraid that I will not have a chance.
Zhang Xianzhong could run, but the bandits in the Lu Zeshan area had nowhere to run. Faced with such a desperate situation, they could only pray to heaven.
The next task of recruiting and surrendering was handed over to Li Yuanqing. The rogue soldiers trapped in the canyon had lost their fighting spirit, but this did not mean that the rogue soldiers would willingly lay down their weapons and surrender to the Northern Shanxi Army. There are always a group of people who have the courage to surrender.
Arrogant and unwilling to give up.
As evening approached, several leaders gathered around a burly man, who was Zhang Xianzhong's loyal dog Meng Sen. "Brothers, we can't accept our fate like this. Tomorrow the officers and soldiers must surrender. Then we will follow the large group of troops."
Surrender, and as soon as we leave the exit of the canyon, we will immediately create a commotion, which will surely catch the officers and soldiers off guard."
After hearing Meng Sen's arrangement, everyone nodded and no one objected. The next day, everything was as Meng Sen said. The Northern Shanxi Army released the southern end of Lu Zeshan. Meng Sen and others walked at the forefront, with their heads lowered.
, looking very depressed. Li Yuanqing looked at the long flow of people with a serious expression. Suddenly he raised his eyebrows, pointed at Meng Sen who was walking at the front, and whispered to the deputy general next to him, "Shout and tell them all."
People raise their hands."
The deputy general didn't understand what Li Yuanqing meant, but he still followed the order and shouted, "Listen to the thieves below. Everyone raises their hands, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."
When the order was given, some people raised their hands, while others hesitated, including Meng Sen. At this time, Meng Sen lowered his head and cursed secretly in his heart. He had a short knife hidden in his hand now. What if
Raising your hands, wouldn't it reveal your secret? Meng Sen hesitated. Li Yuanqing on the top of the mountain held the telescope tightly, and a coldness flashed across the corner of his mouth. These bandits are really not simple. At this time, they still have so many thoughts.
, it seems that they must be given a sufficient lesson.
As a series of orders were passed down, the originally open southern exit was immediately blocked, and thick shield hands blocked the intersection. The musketeers were behind. Seeing this situation, Meng Sen and others could not hold on any longer. They did not move now.
It is better to fight to the death of an officer and soldier. Hearing a roar, Meng Sen flicked his right arm and got a bright dagger, "Brothers, the officers and soldiers bully others too much. If you fight with them, you will not lose if you kill one. Kill two."
It’s a profit!”
With Meng Sen's greeting, the scene suddenly turned into chaos. Meng Sen and a few leaders in the front rushed to attack the south end exit, but the prisoners in the rear who were bent on surrender were heartbroken.
What do you want to do? Do you want to kill everyone? It is obvious that the officers and soldiers have an absolute advantage, and the rebel soldiers have almost no chance of winning. What is the use of fighting like this except increasing casualties?
While the fighting continued at the front, the other prisoners who did not participate in the fighting reached a consensus. Some of the leaders restrained their subordinates who had not caused any disturbance and slowly retreated.
Meng Sen was not heroic, but in the face of a heavy shield array, what use was that bravery? Under the hail of bullets, groups of rogue soldiers lay down, then the shield bearers moved forward, the musketeers retreated, and a group
The captain's spearmen followed the shield bearers and began to clear out the remaining rogue bandits. This was an unfair duel, because the rogue soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but the Northern Shanxi Army was unscathed. Facing the fierce Northern Shanxi Army, as the casualties became more and more
Many, many rogue soldiers collapsed and fell to their knees on the ground, but they were still greeted by death.
After cleaning the battlefield, Li Yuanqing had nearly 3,000 remnants of the rogue soldiers escorted to the center of Luze Mountain. Looking at the rogue soldiers who were watching the scene, Li Yuanqing looked solemn and shouted loudly, "It seems that I need to tell you that in the future, if there is any resistance,
If there are any resisters in the future, you'd better deal with them yourself. If you don't do it, I will do it myself, but at that time, you may die.
It’s not one or two anymore.”
Scanning his eyes, the watching rogue soldiers couldn't help but shudder. This man named Li was really cruel. Then, as if to confirm his words, Li Yuanqing personally ordered that the surrender soldiers who participated in the trouble be killed. That's it.
Because of Meng Sen's riot, thousands of bandit soldiers died in the southern port. What else can those who are still alive do except scold Meng Sen for being stupid?
On May 23rd of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the Northern Shanxi Army severely damaged Zhang Xianzhong's tens of thousands of troops. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rogue Zhang Xianzhong fled in a hurry. At this point, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who were entrenched in Henan Prefecture and raised troops to rebel, were all defeated, and the Northern Shanxi Army also withdrew.
time.
When I returned to Zhangbei, it was already mid-June. As soon as I returned to Zhangbei, I got a shocking news. Baylor Amin of the Jin Kingdom defeated Zu Dashou's tens of thousands of troops. In one battle, the army was defeated miserably. Not only
Panshan City was lost, and even the Daling River line collapsed under the impact of the insurgents.
Zu Dashou has tens of thousands of troops, so he should be able to hold on for a while anyway. This matter has to be discussed more than ten days ago.
On May 19th, 30,000 Jin cavalry led by Amin rushed straight to the Santaizi River in Yingkou. Under normal circumstances, in order to protect the southern Yingkou at this time, troops would have to attack the rear of the Jin Kingdom, but Amin was laying down
After waiting for a full day after Xiaonanhe, reinforcements from Panshan still did not arrive.
In Panshan City, Zu Dashou suppressed his subordinates and refused to send troops. He knew very well where the limits of his troops and horses were, and they were more than enough to defend the city. If they went out of the city to fight, they would be seeking death. The plains near Yingkou were vast, and this place was simply
It is a paradise for cavalry, and it is precisely the cavalry that the Jurchens rely on most. Zu Dashou has learned too many lessons against the Jurchens in these years, so if it is not necessary, he must not randomly send troops to confront the Jurchen cavalry head-on.
