Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Zhang Xianzhong felt very unlucky these days. There were so many battalions of peasant troops entering Henan, but the officers and soldiers didn't go to encircle them. Why did the frontier soldiers stare at his troops and fight them?

Zhang Xianzhong didn't even think about it: after he took down Fengyang, his reputation among the leaders of the peasant army was second only to Gao Yingxiang. Don't like it?So of course the various Ming armies are staring at his troops wanting to gain both fame and fortune!

In the battle with the Liao army, more than 1 Zhang Xianzhong's troops were dispersed. Fortunately, his old battalion elites were basically preserved, and the luggage did not suffer any loss.

But on the way to escape, he found that there were spies from the Ming army ahead.Originally, Zhang Xianzhong didn't pay much attention to these Ming army spies, because during the years of fleeing and fighting, there were always more or less spies around Zhang Xianzhong's troops.But with the disappearance of those spies, Zhang Xianzhong felt that something was wrong.

This also makes people can't help but marvel at the keen sense of smell of these peasant army leaders.Yang Tinglin's suggestion was self-defeating, and Zhang Xianzhong discovered the flaw.But because the peasant army's brigade was mixed with the old and the weak, women and children, they moved very slowly, let alone turning and turning around.Otherwise, such a drastic change of direction will not be able to gather the troops, and the troops will be scattered.

So Zhang Xianzhong immediately called Li Dingguo to him, and said: "Dingguo! Take three thousand old battalion soldiers and horses to explore the way ten miles in front of us. If there is something wrong, don't pester it, come back and report to me."

"Yes! Godfather!"

The Tianxiong army watched as Li Dingguo's 3000 troops passed their ambush point.They will not be greedy for small profits, because Zhang Xianzhong's brigade has already appeared in the distance.

Li Dingguo and the others walked forward for more than a mile. Suddenly, they all stopped in unison, and some people even exclaimed: "There is an ambush behind! There is an ambush behind!" [

"What's the name of the ghost!" Li Dingguo scolded angrily.Although he was only a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, Li Dingguo had built up prestige in Zhang Xianzhong's army for many years.But those who shouted were silenced like a cicada.

The traces of the hasty march of more than 1 Tianxiong troops are quite obvious. Even if they are eliminated in a short period of time, they cannot be eliminated for a long distance. Therefore, Li Dingguo now has discovered that this road has passed a Ming army.And looking at the car marks and horseshoe marks on the ground, they are all new marks, and the number of this Ming army will not be less than [-].

But if there is only such a road, and there is no fork in the road, then this Ming army must have ambushed behind Li Dingguo and the others, waiting for the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's troops to arrive, ready to ambush.

Li Dingguo's cold sweat broke out.He immediately ordered: "The whole army is ready to fight! Little San, bring someone to report to godfather!"

Seeing Li Dingguo's troops stop, Lu Xiangsheng guessed that his ambush had been discovered.When Lu Xiangsheng saw that Li Dingguo's troops were armed and returned, he immediately ordered: "The whole army goes out!"

The Tianxiong Army dispatched a 2000-strong force to block the return of Li Dingguo's troops.The rest of the troops immediately rushed to Zhang Xianzhong's brigade, which was seven or eight miles away.

"Damn it! Now everyone dares to call us a few times. Eight Great Kings! Let me take my sons up!" said one of Zhang Xianzhong's generals.

The peasant army has a standard when judging the strength of the Ming army, that is, it depends on the proportion of cavalry in the Ming army in front of it.If the cavalry ratio is high.That is of course the main force of the Ming army with strong combat effectiveness; the ratio is low.That's no-name.Of course, troops with distinctive weapons such as three-eyed firecrackers or white spears are excluded.

And because the Tianxiong Army was ambushing behind the mountain, the infantry appeared first when they rushed out, and their cavalry was still in formation behind, so the general of the Peasant Army thought it was some unknown Ming army.

"Bastard!" Zhang Xianzhong scolded immediately, "Are you blind? It's Lu Gou's Tianxiong Army. Don't care about the front team. Let's withdraw first!"

"But godfather! What about Dingguo?" Ai Qineng asked beside him.

"Dingguo is always smart, he will find us!" Zhang Xianzhong replied without hesitation.

Zhang Xianzhong immediately fled to the southeast with the elite, and he left behind the old and weak women and children specially arranged by the front team.However, the Tianxiong army was discovered early because of the ambush, so it was farther away from Zhang Xianzhong's brigade.So when they killed Zhang Xianzhong's front team and his own cavalry rushed over again, Zhang Xianzhong had already fled with his old battalion elite.

At the beginning, Li Dingguo desperately returned to help. He brought Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion with him, and his combat effectiveness was also very strong. In addition, Li Dingguo had a good command, so the 2000 people who were blocked by the Tianxiong Army retreated steadily.

It wasn't until Lu Xiangsheng saw that the situation was wrong and brought thousands of his own soldiers to support, that the situation of the battle was changed.As soon as Lu Xiangsheng led his personal troops to show off, Li Dingguo saw the powerful hand-to-hand combat strength of the Tianxiong Army. [

Lu Xiangsheng took the lead and rushed into Li Dingguo's formation wielding a broadsword heavier than Qinglong Yanyue Knife, while the soldiers around him also charged with heavy weapons.

This is completely one force and ten meetings.You know, heavy weapons are hard to resist as long as they are brandished.Coupled with Lu Xiangsheng's leadership, Tianxiong's army immediately set off a frenzy of attack.

It can be seen from this that Lu Xiangsheng is not like a civil servant in many cases, but more like a general.Moreover, the fighting of the Ming army still did not deviate from the more primitive fighting methods, and often relied on the bravery of the generals who led the troops.

But in any case, Li Dingguo's troops could no longer stop the Tianxiong Army's attack, let alone go back to help.Even Li Dingguo was discouraged when he saw Zhang Xianzhong's banner fleeing eastward.

So Li Dingguo's troops fled in all directions immediately, and after searching for a way, Li Dingguo fled back to Zhang Xianzhong with more than 200 cavalry.After the final gathering, only 3000 of Pioneer's 800 people came back.

However, Zhang Xianzhong was very happy with Li Dingguo's return. He gathered nearly [-] remnants of soldiers, and planned to lead them through Ruzhou and Nanyang, and then into the Anhui area of ​​Huguang.

But if a person is unlucky, drinking cold water will clog his teeth.When Zhang Xianzhong's troops entered Geliao Town, Ruzhou, they encountered the Ruzhou Army who had just arrived here after sharpening their swords.

Now Zhang Xianzhong could see clearly that the Ming army on the opposite side had few horses and messy clothes, so it must be a miscellaneous brand.In addition, Zhang Xianzhong had never heard of the banner of the Ruzhou Army, so he was going to defeat the Ming army in front of him here, to get rid of his own bad luck.

Because there were two Ming armies behind him, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to make a quick decision.He arranged ten thousand refugees first.However, this refugee army already had a majority of men, because the old and weak women and children were almost squandered by Zhang Xianzhong, so it was slightly stronger than the average refugee army. After that, there were more than 6000 old battalion troops preparing for the decisive battle.

They did not line up, and under Zhang Xianzhong's order, the 6000 people immediately rushed towards the Ruzhou Army.

"A bunch of stupid thieves! Look at the might of my Ruzhou army!" Yu Zilian yelled while beating the war drum himself.

This guy must be an excited player on the battlefield. Seeing the peasant army rushing towards him with more people than him, Yu Zilian was not only not afraid, but ignited his fighting spirit.

You must know that until now, none of the people in the Ruzhou Army knew how to read the banner, so they didn't even know that they were facing the famous Eight Great Kings.But so what?Yu Zilian is still full of courage, and will never be weaker than his love rival Wu Shigong.This is really amazing!The power of this love is terrifying!

When the two armies approached, the Ruzhou army first fired a burst of firecrackers.And the peasant army fought a lot with the Ming army. Knowing the Ming army's routines, as long as they can withstand a few rounds of firecrackers, they can fight face-to-face with the Ming army.

Besides, Zhang Xianzhong, the cannon fodder who rushed ahead, didn't feel bad, so Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion urged the cannon fodder in front to continue charging.

But at this moment, an accident happened.After firing a round of firecrackers, the Ruzhou army also dispersed and rushed towards Zhang Xianzhong's troops.Zhang Xianzhong, who was watching the battle from behind, was startled by the momentum of a tiger descending a mountain.

Zhang Xianzhong was taken aback, but it was even worse for the refugees who were rushing forward.They all hesitated and stopped, watching the envious soldiers of the Ruzhou Army rushing in front of them.

The two armies fight, this momentum is very important.One after another, the Runing army immediately cut melons and vegetables.The refugees rushing to the front suddenly became chaotic, turned around and fled one after another, and even the old battalion who supervised the battle behind them couldn't hold back.

Not only that, the rout also smashed Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion into pieces, and the scene suddenly became one-sided.This is also a typical example of punching a master to death.

Especially in the battle formation, Liu Guqian, the cavalry chief of the Ruzhou Army, led his more than 200 cavalry to hack and kill back and forth in the peasant army.It completely broke Zhang Xianzhong's efforts to counterattack.

And Yu Zilian also completely violated the common sense of war. Of course, he didn't understand it, so he didn't leave any reserve team at all. In the end, even Yu Zilian rushed up with his own soldiers.

Seeing his commander charge, the soldiers of Ruzhou Army boiled again.Perhaps in the minds of those soldiers, Yu Zilian has become the God of War.That aura like a rainbow has become a footnote for the Ruzhou Army at this time.

Seeing that the situation is out of control, so there is no need to say anything, let's run away first.Zhang Xianzhong ordered the soldiers around him to step forward again, trying to hold the ground, and no matter what, he must withdraw his old battalion first.

However, it happened that the room was leaking and it was raining all night. At this time, the Liao army led by Zu Kuan arrived again, and they immediately launched an attack on Zhang Xianzhong's flank.

Zhang Xianzhong's troops who were flanked immediately collapsed, and Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly fled with his remaining elite, completely ignoring the people left on the battlefield.The two Ming armies chased and killed Zhang Xianzhong's troops for twenty miles.In the end, Zhang Xianzhong gathered more than 2000 remnants.
