Zhang Liang led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to fight all the way. Liu Zongmin's army of hundreds of thousands confronted the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry head-on, but was defeated. This confused Li Zicheng!
"The number of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will never exceed ten thousand. This! Even ten thousand people can kill my second brother, who is retreating steadily. How is this possible?"
Li Zicheng said in shock.
Niu Jinxing said from the side: "Your Majesty, do you think ten thousand people can defeat hundreds of thousands of people and defeat them step by step?
Obviously, Liu Zongmin was not serious about fighting the Ming army at all!"
kindness!
Niu Jinxing's words instantly awakened Li Zicheng. He and Liu Zongmin were once as close as brothers, but this brotherly relationship also deteriorated as they grew stronger!
So much so that after he established Dashun in Xi'an City, Liu Zongmin was still domineering and allowed his men to rob women and property for his own enjoyment.
He also asked Liu Zongmin why he couldn't help him become a good emperor. However, Liu Zongmin's answer was very straightforward. The emperor asked him to do it, but he didn't want to interfere with his affairs.
Unfortunately, Liu Zongmin still has a large number of loyal soldiers. Otherwise, Li Zicheng would really want to kill his relatives out of justice!
Now, Liu Zongmin must have seen that the city could not be conquered for a long time, and was worried that his men would be exhausted, so he simply did not confront the Ming army head-on, but retreated!
"Second brother, second brother, we have reached this juncture, and you are still playing such tricks on me!"
Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Majesty, our people are on the city wall!"
At this moment, someone said excitedly.
Li Zicheng was overjoyed and immediately said: "Everyone, charge forward! We must capture the city of Xi'an. As long as we enter, we will have endless food!"
"kill!"
"Come into Xi'an City and seize food!"
The elite of the Dashun Army began to attack Xi'an City. At this time, Zhang Liang had already killed Liu Zongmin's men and returned to the city with 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry and 30,000 trapped troops.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry lost less than 500 men, while Liu Zongmin's side lost no less than 10,000 people. This kind of record is an impressive record no matter where you look at it.
"General Zhang! Now the enemy's offensive is becoming more and more fierce, and more and more people are killing people on the city wall!"
Reports from people riding tigers and leopards.
Zhang'7 Liang said in a deep voice: "When I was killing them just now, I discovered that this Dashun army was not wholeheartedly fighting the enemy. Therefore, as long as we survive today, their military morale will be in chaos!"
"General! Looking at the situation, it's hard to sustain it not just for a day, but for an hour!"
The man riding the tiger and leopard said.
Zhang Liang frowned when she saw the dark crowd below. She looked at the trap camp. In the charge just now, the trap camp had lost more than a thousand people.
After all, the soldiers trapped in the camp were too young. Zhang Liang thought for a long time and ordered: "Falled in the camp! Everyone is ready to attack!"
"Yes! General!"
The soldiers trapped in the camp roared angrily.
Zhang Liang also knew very well that if there were no strong reinforcements at this time, he would have to rely on these people to fight hard, and the best time to fight hard was when the city gate was broken open.
At that time, Dashun troops poured in in large numbers and the city gates were not open enough. As long as their soldiers were brave enough, they might be able to defeat them, but once they retreated, they would not dare to attack again in a short period of time.
"Your Majesty! Our people have been able to gain a foothold on the city wall!"
"Your Majesty! Our people have driven back the tiger and leopard riders. Now, all the people on the city wall are ours!"
"Your Majesty, our people have suffered heavy losses. We still have about 300,000 troops left in total. If this continues, we will lose more people!"
The soldiers kept coming to report, and Li Zicheng's expression changed again and again.
His people fought on the city wall, but they actually lost so many people. His army of one million people, leaving aside those who were guarding the previously captured state capital, still had about 550,000 here.
Including Liu Zongmin's army, there were as many as 700,000 people. He didn't know Liu Zongmin's side, but 250,000 people on his side actually died!
"Damn it! So many people have been lost!"
Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said.
Niu Jinxing advised from the side: "Your Majesty, this is not a good thing. Soldiers are more valuable than more, and the ones left now will be the elite of our Dashun Army!"
"What's going on with my second brother?"
Li Zicheng asked.
"The spies just came to report that General Liu saw that the city wall was attacked by us. He also sent his elite troops to attack the city. I believe it won't be long before the city of Xi'an will be attacked!"
Niu Jinxing said.
"Haha! This is what brothers are. When my brother is in trouble, he doesn't interfere. My brother has just tasted some sweetness, and he actually takes action!"
Li Zicheng said with a sneer.
"General Zhang, the city gate is about to be breached. You should retreat to the rear first. We will guard here and we will never let these thieves get even a step inside!"
The soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry roared.
Zhang Liang said: "As a general, how can I retreat at this time? I must charge at the front. Only in this way will the morale of the soldiers be high when they see me charging at the front!"
boom!
At this moment, the city gate was forcibly broken open by Dashun's army, and all the tiger and leopard cavalry rushed forward, followed closely by the soldiers trapped in the camp.
This battle can be described as bloody. Dashun's army was blocked at the city gate for half an hour, and they could not advance even half a step. Liu Zongmin's elite soldiers entered from the city wall, and the tiger and leopard cavalry were killed and retreated.
.
"Oops! I can't stop it!"
If one person roars, he will take Zhang Liang and evacuate.
"No! We must hold on, otherwise, the situation in the Ming Dynasty will be very critical. There is too much food and wealth gathered in this city!"
Zhang Liang said coldly.
Even at a disadvantage, Zhang Liang still refused to retreat with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the trapped camp. At this time, Lin Fan arrived with 90,000 troops and Jin Yiwei. When he saw the black army attacking the city, he was stunned.
!
"Damn! This Li Zicheng is so ruthless! No matter how rich you are, you can't fight like this. The number of people who died here is not 300,000, but 200,000!"
Lin Fan just took a quick look and saw that besides the black army, there were corpses all over the ground. The scene was horrible to look at!
"Master Lin, the offensive of Li Zicheng's army is too fierce. The city of Xi'an cannot be defended!"
A Jin Yiwei came forward and said.
"Haha! Can't hold on any longer?
Did you see it?
There are only 80,000 people in the city, so if two to three hundred thousand people die from this group of people, plus the rest of us, we may not be able to defeat them!"
"Moreover, capture the thief first and capture the king first. Now the thief army is attacking the city. The guards around Li Zicheng are weak. If we attack as fast as possible, the thief army will definitely not be able to react and kill Li Zicheng.
