Aspiration

Chapter 132 Decisive Battle (1)

Li Laiheng was riding passionately on a tall and long war horse.He has five war horses, and among them, the one he loves the most is this one that has no hairs and is completely white.

Some people say that this is a bloody horse, and some horsemen say that this is a rare Western thoroughbred horse. It is said that Julius Caesar rode this kind of horse to conquer the whole of Europe.The sprint speed of this kind of horse is extremely fast, and its speed is unparalleled for a distance of [-] miles. What's more, its performance on the battlefield is even more peculiar. It has a natural aggressive mentality towards the enemy's war horses. .

Li Laiheng is very determined this time, he wants to annihilate Sun Chuanting's main force in one fell swoop on the land of Henan.

Li Yan has discussed and researched with him many times. Li Yan said that the conditions for a decisive battle with Sun Chuanting are ripe, but without fast and maneuverable strategies and tactics, the decisive battle will inevitably be abandoned halfway. The imperial court has the strength of the imperial court, and they will always have unique resources. With a strong cultural and economic background, protracted and expendable battles, it must be the rebels who are difficult to persist in the end.Although political corruption in the Ming Dynasty has reached its peak, vested interest groups have relied on this political platform for hundreds of years, and they will not stand idly by.Although the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was empty and the economy was in decline, the wealth accumulated by the people and the ruling class over the past two or three hundred years was very rich.

Therefore, Li Yan and Li Laiheng share the same point of view, secret, fast, and powerful, before they realize the decisive battle, they suddenly deal a fatal and decisive blow to the Ming Dynasty. This kind of strategic thinking is necessary. Yes, it is also clever.

Now is, the time has come.

However, Li Yan doesn't want to be an advocate, let alone rush to the front with Li Laiheng, he can only be a behind-the-scenes person at best.Because Li Yan didn't want the credit to be too obvious, he wanted to keep a low profile.

Too high-profile will become a thorn in Niu Jinxing's side.

Hao Yaoqi led Li Laiheng's [-] cavalry to quickly occupy the dangerous pass east of Ruzhou.

Sun Chuanting never dreamed that within a day and a half after entering Ruzhou, he would suddenly become Li Zicheng's shackles.However, he did not panic when the 20 troops and horses faced the [-] cavalry in the east.

He rearranged his defensive positions.

The seven general soldiers each have an average strength of nearly 13 troops, which is tens of thousands more than Hong Chengchou's [-] troops, but he is only facing Li Laiheng's [-] elite soldiers.

Hong Chengchou faced Dorgon's 13 Manchu elites, plus later Huang Taiji's 20 cavalry, [-] against [-], and suffered a crushing defeat.Now, Sun Chuanting is [-], and Li Laiheng is [-]. If anyone says that Sun Chuanting panicked, then he will be pissed off, not ashamed.

Seven generals.Sun Chuanting deployed a main force of 12 people to the south of Ruzhou to face Li Zicheng's main force that might go north.He Renlong is the main general of this battle, and he leads 3 troops alone.He was the main force on the southern front, and he was supported by two other commanders, each with nearly 2 soldiers.The eastern front is led by a general named Wei Siqi, who also has nearly [-] troops.The west and north are commanded by Ma Lin's soldiers, [-] people.He is the son of the late general Marco, and like his father, he is brave and good at fighting, and has outstanding strategies.Ma Ke went out of the Three Customs with Hong Chengchou, broke the siege of Jinzhou, and was finally killed in the Songjin War. Later, after Emperor Chongzhen came to his senses, he cared for the descendants of the fallen soldiers. Someone recommended that Ma Ke’s son was as good as his father. He has a legacy, and is outstanding in resourcefulness and combat, so he took over his father's position and became the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi.

Sun Chuanting's [-] soldiers were stationed in Ruzhou, all of them were elite troops. He was surrounded by two commanders-in-chief. His own battalion of [-] troops was the guarantee of his life. In addition, he had trained hundreds of dead soldiers. Don't worry that I will end up like Hong Chengchou.

At this time, Hong Chengchou had defected.After he went on a hunger strike for more than ten days in prison, it is said that a peerless beauty came to his cell and brought him water and tea in person. Apart from these, she did not say a word of persuasion to Hong Chengchou. After she came out, Hong Chengchou suddenly called out, he to eat.This call ended his thought of being loyal to the Ming Dynasty.The news of his betrayal spread to Beijing, Chongzhen was furious, and made two decisions, one was to kill all the traitors within the three clans, and the other was to promote the descendants of the fallen soldiers and increase their compensation.

Sun Chuanting was not prepared to be captured. His [-] standard battalion and hundreds of dead soldiers could ensure that he would break out of any encirclement.

He would rather die under the knife of Chongzhen than die in the chaos of Li Zicheng's army.

The Eastern campaign was launched first.

In the south, Gu Kecheng's mountain fighters stood firm.Another [-] soldiers and horses led by Li Laiheng are preparing to launch the first wave of fierce offensive.

Gu Ying's fortified battle troops drove to Wei Siqi's position within an arrow's distance. They only used shovels to block the bows and crossbows shot from the opposite side, without retreating a step or returning an arrow.

Hao Yaoqi led Wang Si and Luo Hu's [-] cavalry to line up behind the infantry.This formation is a bit weird, with the infantry attacking in front and the cavalry following in the second wave, which is obviously different from the usual military rules.

The purpose of this formation is very simple, there is no second wave of attack, there is only one attack, and this time is the Thunder Strike.

Wei Siqi is a veteran, and he was horrified when he saw this formation.I thought to myself, this kind of tactics is simply ruining the boat.

According to the "Historical Records of Xiang Yu": "Xiang Yu has killed the champion of Qingzi (Song Yi, the commander of the Chu army), who shocked the country of Chu and became famous among the princes. He sent [-] generals Dangyangchun and Pu to cross the river (Zhang River) to save the giant. Deer. Fighting against Shaoli, Chen Yu called for troops again. Xiang Yu led his troops across the river, but all of them sank the boats, broke the pots and pots, burned the huts, and took three days of rations to show that the soldiers would die and no one would return."

What Wei Siqi didn't understand was, is this necessary for Li Laiheng's troops?The infantry is in the front, and the attack goes well, but if the attack is not smooth, and the cavalry behind is also blocked, how can this kind of battle be fought?The only condition for fighting is that the infantry in front must win, otherwise, not only will Li Laiheng not be able to win, but he will definitely be defeated after being counterattacked by the opponent.

Li Laiheng has the heart to win?And win the battle?
Wei Siqi's heart was shaken.

Li Laiheng really didn't prepare for the second wave of attack, he only planned to attack once, and the enemy in the east would be completely wiped out in the first battle.

"Drumming!"

The drums of war are beating!

Seen from Wei Siqi's direction, waves swarmed like a tsunami.Bows, arrows and crossbows do not seem to have any deterrent effect on the enemy. They have never seen soldiers with shovels as shields, nor have they seen people with shovels as weapons. After more than 100 steps, they arrived in front of them in an instant.

Wei Siqi's line of defense collapsed, and the ditch in front of them, under the wave of a shovel, filled the sky with loess, not only covering the sight, but also covering the dust flying in mid-air that arrows and crossbows couldn't shoot through.

The trench, which was so deep after a battle, suddenly turned into flat ground.

The infantry didn't stop, they rushed over on the flat ground.A shovel does not kill, but it kills more horribly.Hit with a shovel, half of the head is gone, one arm is gone
Hao Yaoqi shook his head. His [-] elite soldiers were useless. Wei Siqi's troops had already been routed, and there was no need to organize cavalry attacks anymore.

Gu Ying's attacking division is enough to clean up the remnants thoroughly.

Wei Siqi did not expect that he would be defeated so quickly. With nearly 3 people, he has already been defeated.The army without an army was no match for the fighting village women. Under the shovel of Li Laiheng's attacking division, they either became headless ghosts or surrendered with their arms raised.

Li Laiheng's troops fought more and more again.

Wei Siqi fled, he did not return to Ruzhou, he was taken by his war horse to a place full of water and grass, there was a temple there, he put down the butcher knife and became a Buddha immediately.Because, Wei Siqi wanted to understand a truth, with the appearance of Li Laiheng, no matter how others tried to earn a living on the tip of their swords, even the guy who was eating would be lost.

Li Laiheng didn't watch the excitement.After Gu Ying passed the ditch, he galloped southward.

Soon, Hao Yaoqi said to Wang Si and Luo Hu: "There is no place for you to display your opportunities here, go south.

He Renlong made five formations.Front, middle, back, left, right, five armies.The former army, the middle army, and the rear army are all his own direct descendants.The left army and the right army are the troops of the other two chief soldiers.

Li Laiheng is still only ready to organize an attack.

The left army was attacked by Gu Kecheng's mountain warriors, and the enemy chose to form an formation on a hillside. It happened that Gu Kecheng had an advantage.

The right army, Gu Ying's fortified division came to take advantage of the victory, and they were responsible for cleaning up the enemy's right army.

In the middle is all of He Renlong's belongings, front, middle and back, front and back.Li Laiheng's [-] elites acted as the vanguard, and the [-] elite cavalry behind were ready to cover up after Li Laiheng's [-] elites charged.

He Renlong doesn't believe in evil.How dare your 3 people despise my 12 people like this?
"Okay! Let the horse go!" He Renlong roared inwardly.

"Listen, stand up to me. I, He Renlong and Li Zicheng, didn't fight once or twice. They actually despise us so much. If you don't give them a good look, how will you mess around in the future? Children, the enemy will 1 horses, we stalk them to death, and then grind them into powder!"
