Chapter 5 The Battle of Tongguan
This is Tongguan Nanyuan.

Cao Bianjiao, one of Sun Chuanting's three main forces, stood in front of King Chuang's advance.On both sides, it is estimated that He Renlong and Sun Chuanting's headquarters should be.Behind them are the tens of thousands of troops who took advantage of the victory to pursue them two days ago.The encirclement is watertight.In the distance, invisible but felt, there is another encirclement, Hong Chengchou's three main forces.

Two iron hoops bound Li Chuang tightly.

In fact, there is an invisible iron hoop that no one expected, or a huge net. This net is going to catch all the fish that slipped through the net in Li Zicheng's department. Hong Chengchou arranged another line of defense, starting from Tongguan , Counties and continents hundreds of miles away from Funiu Mountain are his third line of defense. He issued a reward order. Officers, soldiers, local tyrants, and village braves will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver for capturing or killing a trespasser; Or kill a school-level officer, reward 500 taels of silver; capture or kill a general who is equivalent to participating in a guerrilla, reward [-] taels of silver; arrest Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, reward [-] taels of silver, be promoted to three ranks, no Officials are directly promoted to the fifth rank.Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. This line of defense is really terrible.

Therefore, outside of the two encirclement circles here, there is an invisible line of defense. Because it is invisible, his strength is even more terrifying.

Li Zicheng was doomed.

Li Zicheng completely fell into the net laid by Hong Chengchou.

This is the strength of the No.1 official under Emperor Chongzhen.

Fortunately, Li Laiheng killed Hong Chengchou last night, otherwise, Li Zicheng might have given up today's last fight.

The enemy kept the news of Hong Chengchou's death secret, as if nothing happened in the pass, and Sun Chuanting was not easy.Of course, Li Zicheng knew that the more it looked like nothing was wrong, the more something was wrong.

Cao Bianjiao attacked.

For Cao Bianjiao, the more than 3000 remnants in front of him seemed like fish under his knife, and he laughed a few times with disdain.He was very excited. Li Zicheng, who had been on the road for eight or nine years, was now so easily captured by Cao, and he made extraordinary achievements, so he was very excited.However, he felt in his heart that it was a bit unsatisfactory, the fish caught in the big net, he was just the one who caught the big fish in the net.

The first wave was a tentative attack, which quickly retreated.

The corner of Liu Zongmin's mouth twitched lightly, and just as he was about to issue the command "attack", he suddenly glanced at a person coming from behind.Li Laiheng and his more than 200 elite men.

"King Chuang wants me to come over and help you take the lead." Li Laiheng said.

What, a sudden change of plan?Li Zicheng rarely interfered with Liu Zongmin's campaign plans, let alone tactical arrangements.However, after many years of tacit understanding, Liu Zongmin naturally accepted Li Zicheng's tactical adjustment.Every time, Li Zicheng's intervention in the tactical plan was successful, and it can even be said to be very critical.This time, he was considerate and cared for Liu Zongmin.Liu Zongmin thinks so.Therefore, he readily accepted Li Zicheng's thoughtfulness.

"Okay. Laiheng, don't love to fight. After the impulsive position, you retreat and go back to King Chuang. The old camp depends entirely on you." Liu Zongmin said.

Li Laiheng didn't say much, turned around and whispered to his more than 200 elites: "Kill!"

He didn't say "rush", but "kill".

These two words are commonly used by Li Laiheng, but they have different meanings. The former is most commonly used to move the enemy's momentum and turn the tide of battle when coordinating with a large army; the latter, a word for "kill", is cold, ruthless, and tragic.Not for victory, but for killing.

200 people, like sharp knives, quickly inserted into the center of the enemy's formation.Advance, Li Laiheng is the tip of the knife; retreat, there is a gap in the middle of the blade, the tip of the knife wraps around, a moment, the blade emerges from the handle, and Li Laiheng becomes the blade again.No one can copy this kind of fighting method, and no one dares to copy it. This is Li Laiheng's unique fighting method. Anyone who has fought against him will be terrified.Because, Li Laiheng's name popped up suddenly in the past six months, and every time he attacked, it marked that the head of at least one general was taken away by him.

On the battlefield, if this phenomenon becomes a rule, it will be a very terrifying thing.

Now, the sharp knife penetrated into Cao Bianjiao's core position. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the formation, and Cao Bianjiao's guards suddenly moved closer, tightly surrounding Cao Bianjiao in the center.

As expected of a famous general in the Ming Dynasty, Cao Bianjiao's guards were extremely well-trained, and they dared to defend their master with their lives.

Soon, Li Laiheng's team pulled out from Cao Bianjiao's phalanx like knives.

blood!The knife inserted into the body must be dripping with blood.

More than a dozen heads are general-level headgear.

"kill!"

"Kill~kill~kill~"

The moment Liu Zongmin waited for Li Laiheng to leave the enemy line, he gave the order to march, and the roar of "kill" from thousands of people at the same time shook the ground.His troops have long been infected by Li Laiheng's heroism, and now, with Liu Zongmin's order, the more than 1000 people are like overwhelming momentum.
Li Laiheng threw a few heads in front of Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng didn't even look at the generals or guerrillas. He only glanced at Cao Bianjiao's lieutenant general. , he only had one face-to-face meeting with Li Laiheng and lost his life like this.

Li Zicheng's expression was still serious.

Li Laiheng moved Cao Bianjiao's position, and Liu Zongmin took the opportunity to kill.The No.1 general under Chuang Wang was red-eyed before the battle started. Now he leads more than 1000 soldiers into the enemy's formation, his swords are flying, his soldiers are fast and fierce, Cao Bianjiao's army is in chaos.However, Li Zicheng gradually discovered that the advantage was only temporary. The difference in strength between Liu Zongmin and Cao Bianjiao was too great, and the stamina was insufficient.

Cao Bianjiao is not a person with a vain reputation. In the past few years, he has never stopped fighting with the rebels. He has always maintained his position as the main force among the officers and soldiers of the court, which shows that this person is very powerful.

Cao Bianjiao didn't go out in person, he stood on a high ground and commanded his generals, the advantage gradually turned to his side.He is smiling.Although he had to admire Liu Zongmin, such a fierce general was really rare, but it probably wouldn't take a stick of incense to take Liu Zongmin's head off.

"Chuangwang, if this continues, it will become a war of attrition." Li Guo said.

"Well. I'm not worried about here. Behind Cao Bianjiao, there may be a stronger enemy. None of the soldiers brought by Hong Chengchou showed up. Although Hong Chengchou died, his subordinates are still there. Whoever took my head? They will be promoted to nobles. The only way for them to wash away the responsibility for Hong Chengchou's death is my head." Li Zicheng seemed to be talking to himself.

Li Zicheng's analysis is not wrong, and his intuition is also right.Behind Cao Bianjiao is Hong Chengchou's heavy army.However, now is not the time to wait and hesitate. There is no best decision. If there is still the best decision, it is four words: "act now"!
However, Li Zicheng hesitated, he looked at the three thousand soldiers, among them were so many old and young women and children, they were all innocent.He is not a benevolent person, and a benevolent person cannot accomplish great things.He is desperate.Originally, Hong Chengchou was dead, and he thought that the opportunity had come, but now he saw Liu Zongmin was in a hard fight, and this kind of hard fight appeared after Li Laiheng defeated the enemy's spirit.

He can't chew, even a Cao Bianjiao can't chew, let alone Hong Chengchou's main force?Today, I have to face at least six or more commanders-in-chief, and I really can't chew it!
The most feared thing on the battlefield is the hesitation of the general. Once he hesitates, the price will be tragic.

"Chuang Wang, let's go!" Li Laiheng couldn't give him a chance to hesitate.

"Let's go. Go. Go." Then a group of people begged.

Gao Yigong was usually steady and reticent, so he couldn't help but say: "Mr. Liu is struggling a bit, and if he doesn't charge us, maybe we won't have a chance."

King Chuang's eyes still showed hesitation and impatience.

no!No more hesitation, nothing left.Li Laiheng did not place any hope of crossing over for the second time, he suddenly said loudly: "Attention all left and right troops, attack! Kill!"

He took the lead and rushed straight to the enemy.Behind him, not only his 200 people, nor 2000, but more than [-], all soldiers, including King Chuang himself.

The sharp knife of 200 people is a dagger, then, more than 2000 people, that is a big knife, not killing people, but a fierce tiger, a fierce lion.

Li Laixiang did not expect that his tactics had already infected all of King Chuang's subordinates. They had never practiced tactics, and these 2000 people unconsciously followed Li Laiheng's tactics to attack.The point of the knife, logically, should be King Li Chuang, but today it became Li Laiheng.

The machete cut deeply.Cao Bianjiao couldn't hold on any longer, the swords of Li Laiheng and Li Chuangwang had penetrated into the central army, and Liu Zongmin here had killed more than half of Cao Bianjiao's soldiers, and all those killed by him had been cut into two pieces.In the past, Liu Zongmin's name had long been heard among the officers and soldiers, but today Cao Bianjiao saw Liu Zongmin's murderous appearance with his own eyes, and the timid would really be scared out of his wits.Some people say that Liu Zongmin is a murderer. Sure enough, this man kills without blinking an eye. He seems to have an extra pleasure when he kills.

retreat.Cao Bianjiao became timid, and the word "retire" appeared in his mind, then the defeat was inevitable.However, it seemed that all of this was in their plan. His retreat was not retreating, but retreating to both sides, so he was not defeated.It is impossible for Li Zicheng's troops to split up and attack on both sides, he must be clenched into one fist.

This is a planned retreat!
Everything is in the enemy's plan, it's scary!Hong Chengchou's arrangement before his death was very powerful, a foolproof arrangement.

Now there must be a situation that is not in the enemy's plan, so that a turning point may occur.

Cao Bianjiao retreated to the two sides, with He Renlong's department on one side and Sun Chuanting's headquarters on the other.In front, it should be Hong Chengchou's main force.

Fortunately, Hong Chengchou is dead.

Do not!On the big banner in front, the big "Hong", isn't this Hong Chengchou's own Chinese army?
