Chapter 320 Mad Dog Li Zheng

The Maxi slope is only five miles in a radius and is divided into two slopes. No matter from any angle, I don’t think this place is worthy of heavy guard. Li Zicheng was a little confused by the actions of the officers and soldiers for a while. He has always been very cautious about such things that cannot be seen through.

"Retreat half of the troops first and go around the Mafengpo. Since the opponent has heavily guarded the Mafengpo, let's try another direction!" Zheng Guosong nodded and took his men to the front line. This time, Zheng Guosong could bypass the Mafengpo and cross from the countryside fields three miles east. It is said that this place is still an ancient battlefield, and the victory in Zhuxian Town happened here before.

Legend has it that Yue Wumu defeated Jin Wushu, and used a long journey to raid. Zheng Guosong felt that he was a bit like Yue Wumu now. If he could reach Zhuxian Town, the battle would be won. The fields were full of crops, and it was about to be harvested. Suddenly, he suffered a military disaster and suddenly destroyed a piece of land. Zheng Guosong did not take the crops seriously. He would immediately step on the road. He advanced north along the country road and walked for two miles, but no officers and soldiers came to stop him. Gradually, he felt something was wrong.

The situation in Zhuxian Town was indeed very wrong. Zheng Guosong's peasant army went straight into Zhuxian Town from the east. However, Li Zheng had no intention of stopping him. After only half an hour, another army arrived at Mafengpo.

When the scout sent back the news, Li Zicheng frowned after hearing this. He was restless and discussed with Lu Weiliang and others. Lu Weiliang was discovered by Li Zicheng in Zhushan. This man was born into a bandit in Zhushan, but he was quite insightful. When encountering difficulties, he often showed different behaviors than ordinary people. Therefore, Li Zicheng relied heavily on this man.

"Everyone, do you know now? The officers and soldiers have added more troops to the slope. According to the scouts, the officers and soldiers have gathered nearly tens of thousands of troops around the horse and the intention is unknown. Zheng Guosong's troops directly entered Zhuxian Town, but there are no officers and soldiers to stop them yet."

Everything seemed to be going well, so it should be happy, but Li Zichengzhen couldn't be happy. He has always hated this feeling of not seeing through the situation. Lu Weiliang pinched his chin and thought, but he was also a little unable to see through the situation in front of him for a while.

"General Li, according to his subordinates, there are only two possibilities for the other party to increase their troops and horse surfing slopes. They either guard the Ma surfing slopes to the east, or block Zheng Guosong's troops to the north! At present, it seems that the possibility of officers and soldiers guarding the Ma surfing slopes is very small, and the second possibility is relatively high, because even if they guard the Ma surfing slopes, there is no need for so many people!" As he said, Lu Weiliang shook his head gently. In fact, he doubted his judgment, so he wondered: "This is even more strange. If the officers and soldiers cut off Zheng Guosong's retreat to the east, then these officers and soldiers would definitely be trapped in a pincer attack. With our strength, we are fully capable of eating these tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. As far as I know, the other party commanded the troops and horses to deploy, Li Zhenggan, who is not as incompetent as a person."

Li Zicheng frowned and said helplessly: "Now we can only let Zheng Guosong continue to advance north to see how the officers and soldiers react."

Speaking of which, when Li Zicheng's order was sent to Zheng Guosong, the latter was a little panicked. The more officers and soldiers there were no stops, the more it meant that things were a bit evil. However, Li Zicheng's order was there, and he could only bite the bullet and continue to go north.

When Zheng Guosong's troops approached ten miles from Zhuxian Town, the officers and soldiers gathered near Mafengpo finally took action. About five thousand soldiers and horses were led by the guerrilla general Lu Yuping, directly cutting off the retreat of Zheng Guosong's troops. Not only that, in Zhuxian Town, Li Zhenggan personally led more than 7,000 people to cover up and kill him. Judging from this attitude, he was going to swallow the 6,000 peasant army under Zheng Guosong's troops in one breath.

In the early 20th of August, Li Zhenggan's vanguard troops met Zheng Guosong's troops. Without saying a word, the two sides fought together. The battlefield took place in a sorghum field, and the long sorghum became the best cover.

Li Zheng's men hid in the sorghum field, and a rain of arrows caused Zheng Guosong to suffer a great loss. However, Zheng Guosong reacted in time and rushed forward and fought together, causing the crossbow to lose its effect. Although Zheng Guosong was prepared for this encounter, he was still a little confused.

Within a radius of more than ten miles, more and more people were trapped in both sides. From the beginning, thousands of people turned into a melee of tens of thousands. The sorghum field was trampled on, blood was filled with dripping down the sorghum leaves.

A guard soldier bent over and clenched the knife in his hand with a nervous expression. He walked very slowly, step by step, carefully observing. Suddenly, a pile of collapsed sorghum next to him was lifted up, and a strong man roared and jumped up, "Dog guy, go to die..."

The young soldier hurriedly hid back, but it was too close to him and could not react in time. He instinctively lay on the ground, grabbed a handful of soil and sprinkled it back, and then rolled on the ground. Crack, a piercing pain spread throughout his body, and he couldn't help but scream. He was still cut off on his back, but fortunately he saved his life. Before he could turn around, he got up and ran forward. At this time, the sound of breaking wind came from behind him.

The strong man who started the sneak attack did not expect that the knife would be cut again. He couldn't help but screamed in anger, "Dog, don't run away, grandpa must chop you up today..."

Enduring the pain, running all the way, a bloody road was sprinkled in the sorghum field. The strong man roared, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. When he was about to be able to collect another head, a sudden shout came from behind him, "Dog thief, don't be arrogant, take your life!"

The strong man stopped suddenly, and before he turned his head, he slashed backwards. But he slashed in his hand. Then he saw a young man rushing up with excitement on his face. The spear was getting closer and closer, and with a puff, he directly penetrated into his chest. The strong man suddenly looked at the weak boy with unwillingness to look at the weak boy. He originally wanted to attack and kill people, but died under the attack of others.

There was a chaotic battle, a complete chaotic battle. Within a few miles of land, it was impossible to tell which one was his own person or who was a bandit. On a high hill, Li Zhenggan looked at the battlefield in the distance with a serious expression. The sound of fighting, cursing, and the thick smoke in the distance. This battle was chaotic and there was no formation at all.

Li Zhenggan was helpless, and his troops under his command had very limited combat power. If he really set up a formation and fought head-on, he might not be the opponent of the bandits. He met Li Zicheng, who was known as the most powerful general under the King of Chuang, and he also had many good warriors under his command. No matter what, Li Zicheng was also a general of the border army.

If the fight is unfavorable, it is easy to be defeated. However, this kind of confusing melee is completely different. When everyone fights together, they can't see the form clearly. Even if there are people who escape, it is a personal behavior.

......

To the south of Mafengpo, when Zheng Guosong's troops fell into a tough battle, the guerrilla general Lu Yuping also set up ambush at various intersections, preparing to close the net and swallow Zheng Guosong's troops. The situation seemed very clear. At this time, as long as Li Zicheng's main army rushed up from the south of Lu Yuping, the one who was really made of dumplings would be Lu Yuping's troops.

However, Li Zicheng had a great headache because no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Lu Yuping's army was here to die. Moreover, there was a problem that had always troubled Li Zicheng. If officers and soldiers wanted to guard Zhuxian Town, wouldn't it be better to lean on the Zhuxian Town wall? Why should they pull the soldiers out and make trouble? Although the Zhuxian Town wall is not very good, it is better than being able to guard without any danger.

Isn’t Li Zicheng’s concerns the doubts of Lu Weiliang? No matter what, Li Zhenggan is also the commander of both sides. His ability to command wars cannot be compared with that of the generals of the border army, but it is impossible to be a waste of money to command blindly, right?

What is making dumplings? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is not Zheng Guosong who died, but Lu Yuping. If less than 6,000 soldiers want to block Zheng Guosong's retreat, and to withstand the attack of more than 20,000 main forces, or without any danger, unless Lu Yuping is a heavenly soldier descending to earth.

"General, now the officers and soldiers have given us the answer, so we might as well send troops to rush forward and fight against Lu Yuping's troops to see what the officers and soldiers will react next!"

"Well, that's all for the time being!" Li Zicheng glanced at the corner of his mouth, revealing a bit of arrogance. He held a large army and Li Zhenggan had only 20,000 troops under his command. Even if there was a conspiracy, what could he do to me?

Putting on soft armor and lifting up the long sword, Li Zicheng personally took his men to the front line. Since the rebellion, Li Zicheng has expanded the troops of three thousand people with his original border army team and trained strictly. Later, this army became his own direct Ruifeng Camp. From southern Shaanxi to Nanyang, the Ruifeng Camp successively defeated the strong enemies and became the sharpest sword in Li Zicheng's hand.

This time, Li Zicheng still used Ruifeng Camp. Since the officers and soldiers wanted to play tricks, they would not cry later.

The Ruifeng Battalion is completely different from other peasant armies. The equipment training is all based on the elite standards of the border troops, and its combat effectiveness is naturally incomparable. When the Ruifeng Battalion contacts Lu Yuping's troops, the guards' soldiers were immediately suppressed and retreated step by step. The strict formation and high fighting spirit are definitely not comparable to those of the guards under Lu Yuping's command.

Almost as soon as it happened, the first line of defense left by Lu Yuping behind collapsed, and only one of the two thousand generals in charge of the defense line survived.

President Qian Hu Kai fled back in panic. After seeing Lu Yuping, he collapsed on the ground. "General Lu, this battle cannot be fought...that group of bandits are too cruel. The brothers were broken up in just a moment. Many brothers died...General, I really can't beat them...that bandits are too powerful, we..."

Hu Kai would say something else, Lu Yuping rushed up and shaved his ears according to the other party's face, "Shut up, look at you like a bear, but you still have a little bit of the way the imperial chief? Humph, if it weren't for your brother's sake, I'll cut you down now, stand up for me, and gather the remaining soldiers, the bandits are too powerful? Humph, no matter how dare you disrupt the morale of the army, even your brother will not be able to protect you!"

"I..." Hu Kai immediately stopped crying and wiped his tears pitifully. His biggest reliance has always been his elder brother Hu Ao. Although his elder brother is just a thousand general, he has a wide range of friends and has a relationship with big people in Luoyang and Kaifeng. Being a thousand general in Kaifeng is also the elder brother's help.

I originally thought this was a fat man, and I happily ate tens of thousands of taels of silver every year and lived a free and easy life. But when the bandits came, they all changed. They fought with the bandits and drove the ducks to the shelves!

Hu Kai had no choice but to be forced to do so, some of the remaining soldiers and the soldiers divided by Lu Yuping reorganized the defense line. As a result, this time it was even worse. He couldn't hold on for a quarter of an hour and was defeated and returned home. At this time, Lu Yuping no longer had the heart to pay attention to the useless Hu Kai, because Li Zicheng had already brought his troops to the front of him.

After the real battle, Lu Yuping realized that Hu Kai was defeated. This army was well advanced and retreated, and the formation was tight. It must be the most capable army under Li Zicheng.

The war was not good, and Lu Yuping immediately retreated to the west. At the same time, the troops from Mafengpo in the west also rushed to support. The two sides joined forces and leaned against the terrain near Mafengpo, which barely blocked Li Zicheng's attack.

The battle has reached this point, and the outcome is clear. As long as there is no accident, the troops transferred to the south of Zhuxian Town will be swallowed up little by little by little by little by Li Zicheng. As for the idea of ​​the officers and soldiers attacking each other from north to south and swallowing Zheng Guosong's troops, it is nothing more than a fool.

Li Zicheng thought that Li Zhengqian would order the withdrawal of troops and try his best to preserve his strength. But what was surprising was that Li Zhengqian did not order the retreat, but instead transferred out the only 4,000 remaining troops in Zhuxian Town and directly threw them into the battlefield of Ma Zhuanpo.

At this time, Li Zicheng had only one feeling, and Li Zheng was crazy.

Li Zhengqian took the wrong medicine, and transferred all his troops outside Zhuxian Town. Once he was defeated and the army collapsed, what should he do to defend Zhuxian Town? Could it be that Li Zhengqian could instantly pull the people of Zhuxian Town to the top of the city to defend the city?

Not only Li Zhengqian, but also Lu Yuping. Since Ma Fengpo received reinforcements, Lu Yuping turned against his fatigue and even launched a counterattack against Li Zicheng. A high slope that the Ruifeng Camp finally occupied was taken back by Lu Yuping's attack at all costs.

In the big tent, Li Zicheng kept paced and muttered to himself: "Li Zhengqian, what a mad dog, what does he want to do?"

Since joining the army, Li Zicheng has seen a war like this for the first time, and almost sent out all his troops under his command. At this time, he only needed one charge of the cavalry under his command to take down Zhuxian Town in one fell swoop.

Zhuxian Town is like an apple hanging on a tree. You can pick it off at any time as long as you want.

However, Li Zicheng held back.

Long-term experience tells him that this apple is poisonous!

"Brother Lu, what do you think about the situation in front of you?"

Lu Weiliang pointed to the map on the table with a serious expression and said, "General, now it seems that it can almost be concluded that Li Zhengqian did it on purpose. He emptied Zhuxian Town and transferred all his troops out of the city, with the purpose of dragging down the main army of our troops."

Li Zicheng nodded slightly, agreeing with Lu Weiliang's view: "So, whether we send cavalry to raid Zhuxian Town or kill the officers and soldiers outside, they are all what Li Zhengqian wants to see."

"Yes, his purpose is to hold us back...so, we do the opposite!"

"Haha, Brother Lu's words are just what I want, so I won't beat Zhu Xianzhen..."

"Yes, let's go and fight Qi County!"
