Chapter 488: Worry before victory, and I am worried about defeat

Suddenly, this is an important factor in decisive victory on the battlefield. Li Zicheng led the main force of the Shun Army to entrench the northwest direction of Xiangcheng, and was the main force of the general commander Hou Xun.

However, whether it was the Shandong Ma Army in the south of Jia County or the long-distance in the area of ​​Fengchuan behind him, it was almost what happened in these three days. One side was caught off guard and the other side launched with all its strength. Until now, Li Zicheng was still in a very ignorant state, and his entire attention was on the Ming army who was surviving on the opposite side.

However, since Li Zicheng started his career, he has experienced countless life and death, and has long had some intuition about some things on the battlefield.

The smoother the encirclement and annihilation of the main force of the Ming army, the less at ease Li Zicheng became. The key to the problem is that this is going smoothly, which is too smooth.

If there are only two main strengths of Daming and Dashun in the world, then that would be fine. The North can let go of its hands and feet, but in its current state, there is also the monster in Shandong. Even if the Duke of Qi Li Meng is low-key, it would be a bit too naive to ignore this.

Although Li Zicheng made various arrangements before the war and offered Li Meng a huge amount of short money, Li Zicheng himself didn't believe that the other party would believe it.

If Li Meng could be delayed by the skills, it would be really no need to worry. Being able to reach this position now is just luck, but the military strategist is dangerous, and Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion, could not believe that he had this luck.

Even when the war started, the situation was carried out step by step according to Li Zicheng's expectations, and King Chuang was still uneasy.

The Ming army in front of us was the last field force that the Ming Dynasty could use, including most of the troops in Shaanxi and Shanxi that had combat effectiveness. If this force could be eaten, the power of the Shun Army would expand to Shaanxi and Shanxi without any hindrance.

If the four places of Jin, Shaanxi, Henan and Chu can master the plan according to the plan, it will be like having half of the country and many things can be implemented calmly.

If the land of Shaanxi and Jin dynasties is combined, the mountains and rivers are in the hands of the Shun Army, and the attack and defense are calm and free. At that time, Shandong is in a corner and the Ming Dynasty is shaky, and it will not be an opponent of the Shun Army. If the matter in the world is sure to win.

It was just like the Ming army defeating the refugee troops several times, but the refugee troops gathered again several times, and the Ming army was in a similar state. Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou to the present day, Hou Xun was defeated by the Shun army again and again, and then gathered again.

Li Zicheng wanted to annihilate the vitality of the Ming army once and for all, so he laid the current situation. Since the fierce battle would make both sides stalemate and might arouse the Ming army's trapped beasts to fight, he simply used the old method of Zhuxian Town to dig up the fortifications and trap the Ming army in it. Wash out their energy and starve them completely, and then the whole army attacked and completely crushed the Ming army.

The current situation is indeed heading towards Li Zicheng's goal. Even the most fierce general of Shaanxi He Renlong led his army to break through, he was blocked by Liu Zongmin. The longer the time delayed, the lower the morale of the Ming army was, and even the simple strength was exhausted in hunger.

Now the camp where Hou Xun was stuck on the official road has cut off supplies, and every day the defeated soldiers fled from the camp. Climb deep ditches and surrendered.

According to the plan, in three more days, it will be the day when the entire army will attack and win. Although things on the battlefield will have to deal with ever-changing changes, temporary changes in the plan will also disrupt the preparation steps for many things. The Ming army will still have a breath. At this time, the fight may not necessarily have a good effect of destroying one's body.

After Li Zicheng arranged the arrangement, each general followed the order. Hao Yaoqi thought about it there and said:

"Your Majesty Chuang, just start fighting like this. Are you a little too anxious? Yesterday, my troops from Brother Liu and I fought with He Caizi. The soldiers are still tired!!"

If it were normal, Li Zicheng would also give a few comments with a smile, and maybe he would even make a joke. But at this time he said with a serious expression:

"Although I am tired, I still have to be stronger than Minggou's hunger. Go back and urge the troops, don't slack off. Zong Min and you will be the leader tomorrow!"

When King Chuang said this, Hao Yaoqi had many doubts in his heart, he could only bow to the order. After King Chuang said this, he turned to Li Shuangxi and asked:

"Has the news about He Jin from Wuchuan arrived? What's going on with him?"

Li Shuangxi, the leader of the personal guard, bowed quickly and replied:

"According to the usual rules, a letter will come in two or three days, and I plan to arrive tonight or tomorrow. The road is now slippery and there are no houses along the way, so it is inconvenient for cavalry to pass, and there are always delays in time."

Li Zicheng, who has always been calm in the military tent, finally showed some anxiety and said:

"Since no one comes over there, we send someone over there. I am always uneasy about He Jin's 20,000 people. Don't make any mistakes."

Li Shuangxi bowed again and replied respectfully:

"Tomorrow morning, the horse exploration will set off, please rest assured the King of Break!"

"What else do you want to do tomorrow? Send people out now. If there is a little delay, it will be a disaster. As my adopted son, do you think you will not be subject to military law?"

The sudden stern voice of King Chuang made everyone in the military tent silent. Liu Zongmin, as General Quan, was known as the head of the Shun Army's military general, did not dare to speak anymore. Everyone was nervous. Even when he was in Yufu Mountain, King Chuang was just looking at Yang Sichang's envoy, but he was only excited, but he didn't expect such anger today.

After shouting angrily, Li Zicheng also realized that he had lost his composure. Such a character, Suli, was extremely cunning, and it was already a mess to express himself in this way.

The King of Breaking Li Zicheng was unwilling to explain anything, so he waved his hand and whispered:

"Everyone, please retreat first. There will be a big battle tomorrow, so don't delay it!"

Everyone was not good at saying anything, so they bowed and left the commander's tent. Everyone had no worries about fighting tomorrow. The Ming army had become like this. The battle tomorrow was nothing more than the degree of victory. The waiting process was quite difficult to surround the enemy.

When everyone heard the King of Chuang's instructions to fight on the sun, they were excited, thinking about how to make achievements and increase their promotion in the Shunjun system. However, when they saw King of Chuang's performance today, for some reason, everyone felt a little heavy in their hearts, and those joys and hopes also disappeared.

In fact, the distance between King Chuang and Hou Xun's residence is not far. If you stand up the observation platform when it is clear during the day, it is unknown whether you can see each other.

Compared to the abnormality of the Shun Army breaking into Wang Jun's tent, the residence of the general Hou Xun was even more bleak. He was a civil servant who was singing the wind and the moon and relied on the party to come to power, so he knew how to fight.

This time, I was lucky enough to send troops and achieved a series of victories. I thought it was Zhuge Fusheng, but now I am in this situation, I can't get any solution.

Originally, several generals respected him a little while victorious and followed his opinions. In the current situation, who would still care about this? That is, Xu Dingguo's troops were the same as the soldiers of the Che Camp directly under Hou Xu Xun. The troops of the Shanxi General Xu Dingguo were relatively weak, and they needed to use these soldiers of the Che Camp to strengthen their strength.

Moreover, Hou Xun has no command ability, and the command and dispatch of troops also rely on Xu Dingguo. This is how the two sides are closer now.

Through the news from Shanxi General Xu Dingguo, Hou Xun also knew that Yulin General Bai Guangen and Shaanxi General He Renlong broke out several times, but were blocked by the Shun Army. Yansui General Gao Jie was beaten to death, and he was like a mess, and he couldn't get out. Everyone is waiting to die here now.

The Supervisor Hou Xun had no freedom of view of life and death, but he knew that the situation in front of him was toward the end step by step, and there was not much future.

What could he do? In his helplessness, he could only drink and write poems every day, all of which were lamenting the unfulfilled poems. If a person who did not know the truth saw his poems, he would think that he was a loyal minister and adopted son who was for the country and the people, and he was chasing Yue Wumu and Guan Zhuangmiao back then.

However, the personal soldiers who served came back and reported to Xu Dingguo and others that Mr. Hou had drunk too much, and they lamented that wealth and prosperity were no longer there. Sometimes they would call out the names of some women or even men in a drunken state, which shows how ridiculous this person was back then.

Xu Dingguo sometimes cursed secretly, why didn’t he have a big talent like Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou get a gift, but he gave himself a candid supervisor who plays with women and husbands?

No matter how much he scolded, Xu Dingguo was doing his best. Niu Chenghu had some cavalry left, and they were all arranged to beside the commander Hou Xun as a guard. This was actually to wait for the critical moment to take Hou Xun to run together.

General Xu Dingguo sent three waves of confidants, and a group of people went to the camps of Bai Guangen and He Renlong to keep an eye on them, so as not to run away without caring about it, and to run together if they wanted to run. The second group also seemed to go out fortifications of the Shun Army and went to nearby militia villages to find help. The third group of people ran directly to the Shun Army camp and asked what kind of official treatment they would be given if they were demoted.

However, women and children in Tang County were massacred. Since leaving the customs, Hou Xun's troops have been victorious and have suffered great damage to the Shun Army. Now they have reached such a siege. The Shun Army, which is as deep as the sea, has no need to agree to his surrender. Everyone has their ears cut and put them back.

When things got so far, there was no room for recovery. Xu Dingguo also transferred the cavalry to his side and was ready to run away first.

In the morning of mid-September, the weather was still a little gloomy, but you could vaguely see the light of the sky, but such clear signs did not give Ming Jun any good mood.

In the Shunjun camp, the smoke was thick and much earlier than before. Everyone knew what this meant...
