Why did Xiong Wencan need Liu Yuanbin's reminder? He had been looking to the west and had already seen the changes in the flags. He was overjoyed in his heart, secretly saying that his life had been saved, but on the surface he was stroking his long beard pretending to be calm, not knowing what he was doing.
I used too much force and pulled out several beards.
This Li Zhi is really a treasure. He is not as rebellious as Zuo Liangyu, but he can also kill thieves and annihilate the enemy. Even if he is trapped in a difficult situation like being surrounded by thieves, this Li Zhi can sweep all directions and lead the officers and soldiers to fight out.
Victory. In the face of Li Zhi's upright strength, all strategies are vain.
Where can such a Ming general be found today? This Li Zhi is just a guerrilla general? His role on the battlefield is greater than that of five generals!
Xiong Wencan smiled and said: "Li Zhi's troops have amazing fighting power. Our army will win this battle!"
Zhang Guowei, the governor of Anqing, looked at the banner with Li characters in the west, his eyes widened, and said in surprise: "What are Li Zhi's soldiers and horses made of? They defeated all the more than 10,000 traitor cavalry so quickly.
"It's over." Zhang Guowei turned to Xiong Wencan and said: "Prime Minister, Li Zhi's troops are here to support us. This is going to be a big victory. This battle is going to defeat the six families of bandits. It's really going to be a big victory!"
Xiong Wencan stroked his beard, smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Huang Degong, the deputy general of the Beijing camp, was facing off against the bandit infantry in front of the formation, when he suddenly saw countless bandit cavalry fleeing from the south. The cavalry abandoned their flags and armor, as if they were being chased by jackals, tigers and leopards, and they were all panicking. Huang Degong saw the bandit army.
The Chinese army sent out 500 old battalions to collect these broken troops, but they were rushed to pieces by these broken troops. Not a single defeated cavalry dared to stop.
Huang Degong was stunned for a long time, then looked to the west and saw the big flag with the character "Li" fluttering in the wind.
Li Zhi defeated more than 10,000 rogue cavalry? How long did it take? Do Li Zhi's soldiers and horses know sorcery? He has been on the battlefield for decades and has never seen such powerful soldiers and horses. Huang Degong suddenly only
He felt that all his knowledge about marching and fighting had been shattered by Li Zhi. With Li Zhi's troops and horses, Huang Degong had to learn how to fight from scratch.
Standing on the hillock, Zhang Xianzhong saw the Xiaoqi and the cavalry troops retreating, and was stunned for a moment speechless.
This army was so terrifying that even fifteen thousand cavalry could not charge forward. The scene on the battlefield to the west just now seemed like a massacre. Zhang Xianzhong thought it was a good thing to trap the army in the valley, but he did not expect that the valley was more conducive to the army's firepower.
With the use of weapons, the firearms soldiers of the army do not need to worry about what is behind them and are not afraid of being surrounded.
How many soldiers and horses are needed to defeat this official army? Does it require 20,000 cavalry or 30,000 cavalry to defeat this official army?
Although there are often hundreds of thousands of bandits, they are all hungry soldiers. How can there be 20, 30,000 cavalry capable of fighting?
What made Zhang Xianzhong even more worried was that he did not see his adopted son Zhang Kewang during the rout. Could it be that Zhang Kewang had been beaten to death by the army? Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. Zhang Kewang had followed him as early as the third year of Chongzhen.
When Zhang Xianzhong went to war, he was still called Sun Kewang. Later, he worshiped Zhang Xianzhong as his adopted father and changed his surname to Zhang. He was Zhang Xianzhong's most trusted person.
I didn't expect that we would lose so miserably this time and lose all our children here.
Seeing Zhang Xianzhong there in shock and uncertainty, Zhang Dingguo went up and said: "Commander, this battle can't be fought. Let's take the old camp and escape!"
Zhang Xianzhong glanced at the infantry of the thieves who were still fighting with the army. He knew that this was all he could do now. He couldn't help but stare at the infantry who were still fighting with the army. This time, he had to kill these soldiers again.
The infantry was left behind and given to the officers and soldiers to be slaughtered.
But as long as the essence of the old camp is retained, sooner or later there will be a comeback.
"Let's escape!"
Zhang Xianzhong shouted and fled out of the valley with the old camp of the Chinese army. The trumpeter blew the horn several times to withdraw troops, and then fled with Zhang Xianzhong's team.
Liu Guoneng and Huiden looked at each other, and each took the old camp and fled out of the valley.
Hearing the sound of the retreat horn, the knights and infantry who were still fighting on the battlefield turned pale as if they were struck by lightning. The three thousand knights fighting in front of the formation were all on war horses, and they rode as soon as they saw something was wrong.
He fled back and chased Liu Guoneng and Prime Minister Hui Deng's troops all the way. But the more than 20,000 thieves and infantry were in dire straits. They had no horses. They would be chased by officers and soldiers on the way to escape, and they would be killed by cavalry at any time.
Kill.
The bandits' team, which had the upper hand on the battlefield, suddenly collapsed. More than 20,000 thieves were scattered all over the ground like broken glass of inferior quality, running like wolves.
The officers and soldiers were still fighting hard, but they suddenly gained victory. Some of them couldn't react. Yunnan Deputy General Long Zaitian looked left and right. He didn't know why the bandit suddenly escaped, but he heard one of his thousand words.
The general shouted loudly: "General, Li Zhi's soldiers and horses defeated the rogue cavalry and forced the thieves away!"
Long Zaitian suddenly realized this and looked back at the big flag with the letter "Li" two miles away.
This Li Zhi's soldiers and horses are so powerful that it's hard to believe. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have dared to believe that a Ming army could kill all directions like this? First, they annihilated the two thousand knights who presented the thieves in half a cup of tea.
, then independently defeated the 30,000 bandits of Luo Rucai and other three families, and then withstood more than 10,000 bandits and cavalry to charge into the formation and routed the enemy.
As a member of the Yunnan Army, Long Zaitian had always been very confident in the combat power of his troops. But seeing Li Zhi's troops, Long Zaitian felt that his war elephants and troops were like toothless sheep.
This military horse has always used firearms to kill the enemy. Will powerful armies in the future have to use firearms to fight the enemy? Will my proud melee fighting skills be eliminated?
Mr. Qian saw Long Zaitian in a daze and said, "General, do we want to pursue him? Will there be another ambush?"
Long Zaitian was stunned, a little undecided. The main force of the army was ambushed by Zhang Xianzhong once, so they were afraid of chasing the thieves' infantry. But Long Zaitian was hesitating there when he saw more than a thousand people.
Li Zhi's cavalry rushed out of the valley and went straight to pursue the rogue infantry.
Li Zhi's troops have already begun to hunt down the bandits? So what are you afraid of?
Long Zaitian waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Catch him and snatch the heads of a thousand thieves to repay his merits!"
The surrounding commanders sang promises loudly, howled and led their troops to chase after him.
After Li Zhi defeated Zhang Kewang's cavalry, he was not in a hurry to support Xiong Wencan's Chinese army and was still busy beheading him. But he did not expect that once Zhang Kewang's cavalry was defeated, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and Hui Deng would directly
He escaped. Li Zhi secretly said that he could not give up his head to other officers and soldiers, so he asked Xue Sanku to lead 1,500 cavalry to rush over to chase down the thieves and infantry.
The main force of the army was originally hesitant and waiting to see if the rogues could pursue them, but they saw Li Zhi's troops rushing out to pursue them.
Seeing that Li Zhi was taking the lead in sending troops to chase down the bandits, Huang Degong seemed to be reassured and no longer flinched. He shouted loudly and led a thousand cavalry from the Beijing camp to rush forward. Huang Degong had more than 5,000 infantry from the Beijing camp under his command.
Seeing that the cavalry was chasing them, he didn't want to fall behind, so he ran up on foot to chase down the bandits, hoping to grab a few heads for combat merit.
The other cavalrymen of the official army were eager to try and rushed forward with Li Zhi's selection group.
After this battle, these officers and soldiers have regarded Li Zhi as their mainstay. As long as they advance and retreat with Li Zhi's troops, they are not afraid of thieves.
Outside the valley, the bandit's infantry retreated thousands of miles away, completely scattered and fled. Where could they ambush the army?
The cavalry outside the valley were chasing and killing, while the Huben division inside the valley was busy beheading them. It took a stick of incense, but Li Zhi's soldiers and horses who stayed in the valley finished cutting off the heads on the ground and wrapped the heads in cloth one by one.
He tied them to his belt, gathered the captured military horses on the battlefield, and then the whole army drove towards Xiong Wencan's central army.
Xiong Wencan was happily chatting with Zhang Guowei there. This victory was so beautiful. The officers and soldiers repelled the coalition of six big thieves in the front, which was of great significance. Moreover, now that the three thieves fled, the cavalry chased them out at least
There are tens of thousands of thieves and infantry that can be hunted down, and coupled with Li Zhi's capture and execution before, this time it will be a sure victory!
I, Xiong Wencan, can conquer Zheng Zhilong in Lingnan and defeat Zhang Xianzhong in Anqing. As Minister of War, I am very qualified!
As soon as he saw Li Zhi driving over with his troops, Xiong Wencan burst into laughter. He quickly walked up to meet Li Zhi, caressed Li Zhi's shoulders and said, "The guerrilla general has worked hard and achieved great success this time!"
