Liu Zongmin began to give orders to some middle- and lower-level officers on the side. The officers around him began to mobilize their soldiers and began to make preparations.
With the armies so close, the Qing soldiers on the opposite side might also have discovered him!
Thinking of this, Liu Zongmin's face became serious, it's hard to fight!
Liu Zongmin had a wry smile on his face.
For him, the battle in front of him can be said to be very difficult.
How to fight?
I hope to be able to contact Liu Fangliang as soon as possible. It is best for their troops to be assembled as soon as possible, otherwise, this time it will be a bit troublesome!
Just when Liu Zongmin's army began to organize.
At this time, it is about a hundred miles away from here.
Hong Chengchou was riding a horse, frowning as he listened to the information beside him.
"There are reports of an army of intruders gathering everywhere. It seems that the intruders want to fight a decisive battle with us!"
A lieutenant beside Hong Chengchou said thoughtfully.
"How could they have the guts to fight us? The battle in front of Shanhaiguan, their performance! Hahahahaha!"
Another lieutenant on the side laughed and said.
Hong Chengchou glared at the deputy general beside him.
"After all, the intruders have the advantage in numbers! Moreover, during the battle at Shanhaiguan, we had the terrain advantage, plus we gathered the best cavalry troops. Otherwise, we still don't know who will win in that battle!"
The lieutenants around him didn't dare to talk to him and could only lower their heads.
"Report!!!"
At this moment, a detective from the Qing army rushed over quickly.
"About a hundred miles ahead, we found traces of a large number of intruders gathering together!"
"really!"
Hong Chengchou's eyes showed a glimmer of light.
"I knew that if I followed these retreating intruders, I would be able to find where they gathered!"
After finishing speaking, Hong Chengchou said to the lieutenants beside him: "Pass this on! The whole army marches urgently! The target is the army of thieves!"
"Yes! General!"
The surrounding lieutenants dispersed one after another.
Soon, nearly 30,000 Qing soldiers were all mobilized. Among them, there were probably only a few thousand real Eight Banners troops, considered elite cavalry.
The others are all Han troops from the Green Camp.
They were not as elite as those under Shanhaiguan before. After all, in the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus were so valuable!
When facing the Ming Prince, thousands of Manchus were lost, which made the entire city of Beijing mourn. All the Manchus were lamenting.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou only dared to bring out thousands of horsemen!
Soon, all the more than 30,000 troops were mobilized. After collecting several days of dry food, they began to march quickly.
Liu Fangliang on the other side finally got in touch with Liu Zongmin.
Because Hong Chengchou and Liu Zongmin were so close to each other, even tens of thousands of troops could reach Liu Zongmin's army in just one day over a hundred miles of land.
The two quickly made a plan. Liu Zongmin stayed in place, waiting for work, building fortifications to resist Hong Chengchou's attack, while Liu Fangliang led the army to cut off Hong Chengchou's retreat.
After forming an encirclement, attack again!
With good luck, you can achieve a big victory!
After deciding on the plan, Liu Zongmin no longer hesitated and quickly began to follow the terrain and began to let the soldiers build some tunnels and some stumbling ropes to prevent horses from charging.
Then there are things like iron thorns that are very effective against horses.
There is no way, the Manchu and Qing cavalry are too powerful. If their cavalry starts to charge, I am afraid that more than 60,000 people will be scattered by them!
After preparing all these things, Liu Zongmin led the army with a calm expression and stood ready.
He must resist the attack of the Qing soldiers and stay here for at least two days, waiting for Liu Fangliang to come to his aid!
Otherwise...
The Chuang army was defeated this time. It was a complete defeat!
He already has a heavy army! He has an army of 60,000 to 70,000, plus Liu Fangliang has an army of nearly 80,000, so there are already a total of more than 100,000 troops!
Thinking of this, Liu Zongmin's face became serious.
At this time, Taiyuan Prefecture.
Li Zicheng put his hands behind his back and looked at the white clouds in the sky.
"Logically speaking, Zong Min and his troops should be almost assembled!"
Li Zicheng looked at the clouds in the sky and murmured.
"Probably!"
Niu Jinxing, who was standing next to Li Zicheng, hesitated for a moment and said.
There was a hint of emotion in Li Zicheng's eyes.
Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang already led most of the entire invading army!
After these days of continuous defeats, the invading army was severely exhausted. Although Li Zicheng captured some strong men, these strong men were simply new recruits with little fighting ability.
And the troops that Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang held in their hands were all the elites in the camp!
If you lose...
Li Zicheng didn't know what to say, and his expression became very serious.
If they were defeated, the Qing soldiers would definitely attack Taiyuan Mansion, and it would seem that I would have no place to escape at that time!
"Li Zicheng also has today!"
A sneer flashed in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes as he looked at the information in front of him.
He casually threw the information in his hand aside.
"These Qing soldiers are really powerful!"
Li Dingguo on the side looked seriously and said to Zhang Xianzhong in front of him.
"Father, you must be careful when facing the Qing troops in the future! Twenty thousand cavalry defeated a hundred thousand old battalion troops. This kind of record is truly terrifying!"
"So what? Didn't Prince Zhu Ming kill five thousand of them ten thousand against ten thousand?"
A sneer flashed in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes.
"And Prince Zhu Ming's First Guards Army didn't even lose a single person!"
Hearing his father's words, Li Dingguo was slightly stunned for a moment, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
"Okay! The war situation in the north has nothing to do with us yet! Our goal is to win Sichuan first! After we win Sichuan, we will consider other things!"
With a sinister smile on his face, Zhang Xianzhong said to Li Dingguo standing aside.
"Qin Liangyu must be unable to bear it any longer!"
"Yes! Father! Although the white soldiers under Qin Liangyu are strong, their numbers are limited after all. Now there seems to be a gap within the Ming army! This is our opportunity!"
"kindness!"
Li Dingguo nodded.
All forces are looking forward to the battle between the Manchus and the invaders. This battle will determine the pattern of the entire north, as well as the fate of the original biggest winner, Dashun Li Zicheng.
Amid great expectations.
Hong Chengchou's 30,000 troops had already rushed in front of Liu Zongmin's army.
Basically without a word of nonsense, Hong Chengchou directly ordered the army to start charging!
