Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 1035 Daming Workplace
This result.

The truth is that neither the offensive nor the defensive sides expected it.

Li Zicheng wanted to make a big deal, show his face in front of many leaders, and show off his majesty as King Chuang with them, but in the end he was fucked~ fell!

The Ming army guarding the city looked at the intruders so aggressively, and felt that they were going to be damned.

Even the governor shouted that his life was about to be lost.

The result is like this?
The governor Gao Mingheng was supported to stand up, and found that the murderous intruder soldiers were wailing one by one.

He looked around again, and found that although the surrounding soldiers had expressions of fear on their faces, they also had suspicious expressions on their faces, and they were not injured.

The earthquake just now was caused by the intruder, but the injuries were all caused by the intruder's soil rats.

The thieves outside the city supported each other and retreated, and the Ming army on the city wall began to cheer.

Li Zicheng's face was ashen, the scene just now really made him completely confused.

This time, in order to show up, he deliberately sent the elite in his hand.

But now, not only did he fail to do what he expected, but he also lost his troops and generals, so he really lost face.

Back in the old days, Ma Shouying was smoking dry cigarettes, and he never imagined that Li Zicheng would lose such a big face.

Ge Li watched He Yilong take two steps forward in disbelief, and wanted to say something, but felt something stuck in his throat.

That's it?

Luo Rucai frowned tightly and said nothing.

Chuang Wang Li Zicheng ordered to withdraw his troops, saying that the city of Kaifeng was really strong, and he couldn't force it down.

After all, the bombardment of the intruder's artillery did not hit the city wall, but flew randomly in the air.

Scary, but no real damage to the city walls.

Faced with the frustration of attacking Kaifeng again, Li Zicheng decided to fight Zuo Liangyu.

"King Chuang, think twice!"

Li Yan immediately remonstrated, after all, beating Zuo Liangyu is still extremely challenging for now.

"I am afraid of Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu is also afraid of me, but if I take the initiative to attack, he must be afraid of me first."

Li Zicheng clenched his fists and said his theory.

He had to step on Zuo Liangyu to make up for the face he lost today.

Otherwise, it would not be easy for these people to underestimate themselves.

Li Zicheng wanted revenge because he was shot blind in one eye by the Kaifeng guard, and one wanted to break through Kaifeng, capture the king of Zhou, and get a lot of money and food to strengthen himself.

However, the city walls of Kaifeng City were too strong, which prevented him from thinking, and now he could only find someone who was relatively easy to fight.

Zhang Xianzhong fought Zuo Liangyu first and then lost, and Li Zicheng also wanted to win first.

When many leaders said that Kaifeng was difficult to fight, Li Zicheng immediately proposed to Zuo Liangyu, who was calling for reinforcements, that as long as the reinforcements collapsed, the Ming army in Kaifeng would collapse faster.

Zuo Liangyu is also a strong fighter with strong combat effectiveness. After hearing Li Zicheng's proposal, Lao Huihui and others were also heartbroken.

But Li Zicheng said that he wanted to take the lead, and everyone responded one after another.

Not only that, Zuo Liangyu broke into Linying, which was originally occupied by King Chuang, but was captured by Zuo Liangyu and got a lot of supplies from the rebel army. Li Zicheng accumulated a lot of anger and accelerated his march to attack Zuo Liangyu .

When Zuo Liangyu learned that Li Zicheng would not go to Kaifeng City to die, and led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack him, he immediately retreated in Yancheng and asked his supervisor Wang Qiaonian for help.

Anyway, he led his subordinates to rob a wave, made a fortune, had food, guarded the city, and waited for the reinforcements to fight against the intruders, wouldn't it be better?

Zuo Liangyu looked at the intruders outside the city without worrying at all.

If you have the ability, you can carry the ladder to attack the city, if you don't, just stare outside.

But in the face of Zuo Liangyu's retreat, the morale of King Chuang's army was boosted.

Our Chuang Wang has a good reputation in Henan, and the officers and soldiers dare not fight.

He Yilong and others have changed their attitude towards Li Zicheng.

At least the title of Li Chuangwang is still a bit bluffing.

Wang Qiaonian held hands to say goodbye to Fu Zonglong before his death, and never thought that he would accept Fu Zonglong's job so soon.

The court ordered him to rescue Zuo Liangyu immediately.

Of course, Chongzhen is currently learning how to make things worse, and Chen Xinjia presides over all military affairs.

As long as the news of the peace talks between Daming, the Hammer Bandits, and the Manchu Qing was "inadvertently" revealed by some people, Chen Xinjia's Minister of the Ministry of War and his life could be saved.

The handle is in the hands of some people, and when he needs to die, the news should come out.

Wang Qiaonian put together 3 cavalrymen, led by Zheng Jiadong, Niu Chenghu, and Li Guoqi, and arrived in Luoyang.

Wang Qiaonian was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi and a member of the Donglin Party.

He thinks he is a soldier, and when he is resting, he always runs on horseback, practices archery and sprinting, and sleeps in the wind and dew in the wild.

At this time, the peasant army was in a hurry to besiege Yancheng, and Zuo Liangyu kept calling for help.

Wang Qiaonian believes that the peasant army is in full swing, and if it goes straight to Yancheng, it will be difficult to compete with it.

Xiangcheng is more than a hundred miles away from Yancheng and is the rear base of the peasant army.

If Xiangcheng is captured, Li Zicheng will surely return to rescue, and the siege of Yancheng will be resolved by itself.

Waiting for the opportunity for him to come back to rescue, Wang Jun will attack him in front of him, and the Zuo Army will take the lead behind him, and they will win in one battle.

Li Guoqi, who often dealt with Zuo Liangyu, showed doubts on his face. He didn't think Zuo Liangyu was at the end of his rope.

This kind of person would rather break through the encirclement than defend the isolated city, obediently waiting for the imperial court reinforcements to rescue him.

So when Li Guoqi suggested that we wait and see in Luoyang for a while to rest our soldiers, Wang Qiaonian flatly refused.

But he couldn't pass the persuasion of Niu Chenghu and the three of them.

After all, it is really uncomfortable for the army to procrastinate when they are rushing hundreds of miles away.

Therefore, Wang Qiao reluctantly left infantry and firearms in Luoyang in the middle of the year. He personally led [-] cavalry and marched day and night to occupy Xiangcheng.

The first step of the battle plan was successfully realized.

Of course, to conquer Xiangcheng, someone had to open the city gate privately so that Wang Qiaonian could enter smoothly.

But after he occupied Xiangcheng, he killed the rebel army stationed there, and Wang Qiaonian led his troops to station outside the city.

He ordered Li Guoqi, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu, the commander in chief, to march [-] miles east of the city to support Zuo Liangyu's army.

Li Guoqi and others all expressed their objection, with Xiangcheng in hand, why did they separate their troops forty miles away from the city to fight against the intruders?

Let them take the initiative to attack the city and consume their morale, can't it?
As a result, Wang Qiaonian thought that he had a well-planned battle plan, successfully captured Xiangcheng, and mobilized the intruders to rescue him.

Now the three stinking hills dare to oppose the strategy of the governor?

You only have to execute, and there is no room for refutation. Besides, what role can [-] cavalry besiege in the city?
Li Guoqi also showed shock on his face.

Don't you know what these ten thousand cavalry are like?
Then the three of them exchanged a look, and directly split up.

Li Zicheng frowned when he heard the news of Xiangcheng's fall.

Now where do the officers and soldiers come out and dare to bully him?
Li Zicheng believed that Yancheng would be difficult to capture for a while, and Wang Qiaonian's foothold would not be stable in the long run.

In order to eliminate the threat of being attacked by the enemy, a force was left to monitor Yancheng, and hundreds of thousands of the main force went to Xiangcheng immediately to attack the enemy.

Under the sudden attack of the peasant army, Wang Jun was defeated without a fight.

It was originally a team that he forcibly put together, and many cavalry were riding donkeys that they had snatched.

It is wishful thinking for the officers and soldiers to gather [-] war horses.

Only 13 of the [-] officers and soldiers who aided Jinzhou had horses and mules.

Li, Zheng, and Niu led their troops to flee first, and the slow-moving deputy general Ma Minglian was killed.

Wang Qiaonian led more than a thousand disabled soldiers to retreat to Xiangcheng, furious, asked for help, and ordered them to come back.

As a result, Zuo Liangyu shrank in Yancheng and dared not send out aid.

Even after Zuo Liangyu took the initiative to clear the siege by King Chuang's rebel army, not only did he not attack the rebel army from the west, but instead took the opportunity to slip away eastward with his troops.

The three general soldiers also chose to run back to Luoyang to expand their strength, lest the soldiers also fall into the hands of the intruders.

Governor Wang Qiaonian then became a polished commander.

Li Zicheng looked at the corpses of the rebels piled up outside the city, and angrily issued a death order.

After five days and nights of siege, they successfully blasted the city wall with gunpowder, broke into the city, captured Wang Qiaonian and his lieutenants Zhang Guoqin, Zhang Yiguan, Dang Wei and others.

Li Zicheng went to the north of the city to interrogate these people in public, and then beheaded them, causing the soldiers to cheer.

Kill the official, kill the high official!

Everyone's perception of Li Zicheng's command of operations has changed greatly.

After all, Kaifeng is a strong city, and with Kaifeng's failure experience, Xiangcheng was finally bombed successfully.

In particular, Li Zicheng commanded the battle, relieved the threat of being attacked by the enemy, changed the target in time, adopted the method of avoiding the truth, and abandoned Zuo Liangyu, a warrior on the battlefield, to fight against the team led by this kind of supervisor.

As a result, the battle was successful!
Li Zicheng's experience in commanding tens of thousands of troops has increased exponentially.

Two days after Li Zicheng defeated Wang Qiaonian and occupied Xiangcheng, he withdrew his camp and headed east.

He aims to capture Kaifeng in order to achieve the goal of "getting the world away from Heluo".

However, Li Zicheng did not directly besiege Kaifeng, but once again seized the surrounding counties and counties of Kaifeng. First, he saved food and grass to feed the army, and second, he isolated Kaifeng.

King Chuang took advantage of his victories to conquer a large number of towns in eastern Henan. According to legend, when the robbers conquered Suizhou, they "entered the city to search for a large amount of property, but did not kill a single person."

Li Zicheng and other rebels quickly cleared the periphery of Kaifeng.

The third siege of Kaifeng began, and a long siege was adopted to resolve the siege.

The Ministry of War urgently ordered Ding Qirui, the supervisor, and Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Yang Dezheng, the commander-in-chief, to lead a large number of troops to help.

The total number of officers and troops is as high as 18, and they are said to be 40. The company camped on the river, posing for a decisive battle with the intruders.

The vanguard of the official army arrived at Zhuxian Town, and the rebel army temporarily withdrew from Kaifeng to concentrate their efforts on attacking the official army who came to help.

Li Zicheng set up his headquarters in Yanlizhai, and Luo Rucai stationed himself in Hengdipu.

In order to prevent the official army in Kaifeng from going out of the city to pursue and attack, the rebel army was in a disadvantageous position of being attacked by the enemy.

Li Zicheng sent someone to the city with a forged arrow from Zuo Liangyu's department and shouted:

"The thieves can be captured sooner or later, but they are afraid that they will sneak into the city and cause chaos. There are not many soldiers in Bian, so you should strictly guard them and don't go out lightly!"

The bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty in the city really fell for the trick, believed it was true, and stayed behind closed doors.

After all, the 40 army is still quite bluffing, and King Zhou heaved a sigh of relief.

This time the thieves attacked Kaifeng three times, and finally he didn't need to pay the money.

In order to target this group of officers and soldiers, Li Zicheng tried his best, planning how to deal with them all night.

After all, it is my advantage to deal with the "40 Ming Army" with the "Million Chuang Wangjun"!

In order to cut off the Ming army's retreat, Li Zicheng dug a long trench in advance on the southeast main road of the official army, two fathoms deep (eight feet is one fathom), and several fathoms wide.

The two sides fought fiercely.

The Ming army was improvised by several town soldiers. Due to Ding Qirui's incompetence in command, he could not even stop his own subordinates, and there were many conflicts among the generals within the army.

Ding Qirui asked the army of all routes to attack the intruders, but Zuo Liangyu flatly refused because the morale of the peasant army was invincible.

Even the emperor's most favored governor, Yang Dushi, could not mobilize him, let alone this Dushi Ding.

Then dozens of war horses that Zuo Liangyu grazing mixed with Ding Qirui's horse herd.

Ding Qirui didn't think that he was too much, but Zuo Liangyu was too domineering and wanted to escape, so he deliberately came to find fault!
He must be suppressed, and only by sharpening his thorns can everyone obey Ding Qirui's orders.

Without Marquis Jingliao being by his side, he really couldn't be cured!
Just when the officers and soldiers were fighting among themselves, Li Zicheng ordered people to build four earth hills, set up cannons, and attack the officers and soldiers from above.

The "official army" composed of so many people did not have much food in their hands.

That night Zuo Liangyu broke out of the camp and fled, and directly sent troops to plunder the horse mules of other camps.

Ding, if you don't fucking give me a war horse, I'll grab it!

All the battalions were in chaos due to Zuo Liangyu's disturbance, and suddenly the whole line collapsed.

When Li Zicheng found out that Zuo Liangyu and others had fled, he laughed and ordered his people to ignore the infantry who fled first.

After the cavalry passed, King Chuang's team only came into contact with Zuo Liangyu's rearguard troops, but did not fight fiercely with them.

Zuo Liangyu was very happy, and galloped for eighty miles, and fled to the long trench and deep moat built by the rebel army, and was blocked from advancing.

Just as the left soldiers got off their horses and looked for things to pave the trench, and it was in a mess, the fake Cao Cao Luo Ru, who was ambushing here, fought hard.

Under the sudden attack, the left army trampled on each other, and the people behind stepped on the bodies of the people in front to cross the trench. The trench was filled with corpses, and countless mules, horses and equipment were lost.

Zuo Liangyu only escaped with his own life, and fled to Xiangyang with all his relatives and loved ones.

Ding Qirui fled under the protection of the chief soldiers Yang Dezheng and Hu Dawei.

It can be said that in the battle of Zhuxian Town, 7000 people from Zuo Liangyu, the main force of the official army, fled first to avoid the battle, and the other generals collapsed without fighting.

Ding Qirui fled to Guangzhou and Gushi via Xuzhou on the pretext of recovering Zuo Liangyu.

The peasant army crossed the Shahe River in pursuit, and King Chuang's army won a complete victory. They captured and killed Jiang Mingwu, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and received tens of thousands of soldiers and [-] mules and horses.

The insurgents resumed siege of Kaifeng.

Zhu Youjian, who has been studying badly, learned that the reinforcements were defeated, and Ding Qirui lost all the governor's edict, seal, and sword when he fled in embarrassment, and he was very angry!

Even though I want to rest, none of the supervisors under my command can make me feel at ease.

Just let me come out and wipe his ass.

Immediately, Zhu Youjian ordered Ding Qirui to be arrested and sent to prison.

Although Zuo Liangyu fled first, but because of his large number of soldiers, he only lost a lot of his own soldiers this time, but he still has strength.

The Ministry of War has scruples.

Only Yang Dezheng, another general soldier, was executed as a "fatou example".

Because Yang Dezheng broke through several times in order to protect Ding Qirui who fled later, and became a polished commander, so who would he kill if he didn't kill you?
