Anti Qing

Chapter 127
Outside Wuchang City.

The drums were loud and the footsteps were rumbling.

Zuo Liangyu rode his horse and stood on the slope to watch the rehearsal.

Behind him, surrounded by more than ten generals in iron armor.

These people are all at the first level of the general army, and if they go out alone, they can at least occupy mountains and become kings everywhere, but they all respect Zuo Liangyu now.

At least, when Zuo Liangyu was still alive, no one in the entire Zuoying camp dared to disobey his orders.

Zuo Liangyu held the rein of the horse with one hand, and scanned the hills with his eyes.

"Father commander, our army is strong now. I can see that there are many guns and banners on every hill, covering the sky and the sun!"

"Our army has millions of elite soldiers and thousands of generals. Now that Gao Jie is dead, who else in the towns in Jiangbei can resist the direction of our army!"

Behind him, Zuo Menggeng laughed loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

There was loud drumming in front, and the cavalry of the left army ran out from the mountain with their banners held high. A rough look showed that there were tens of thousands of them, like thunder, which made Zuo Liangyu feel excited.

Holding such a powerful force, there is no man who will not be moved by it.

Zuo Liangyu was leading the generals to watch the drill, but saw a horse running back from Jingzhou in the distance.

The cavalry came to the foot of the mountain, got off their horses and didn't stop for a moment, until they came to Zuo Liangyu.

"Sir, the situation has changed!"

"Li Zijing captured Yunyang, General Guoyi Wu Zhaosheng defeated Wang Guangen in Dengzhou, Wang Guangtai died in the rebellion, Wang Xian was ambushed on the way back from Jingzhou, Yunyang Ming army has been wiped out!"

"Ma Jinzhong was worried about being encircled by Jing and Xiang's Dashun Army, so he led his troops back the day before yesterday!"

"what?"

Zuo Liangyu's eyes widened, and suddenly spewed out a mouthful of black blood, turning over and falling off the horse.

Due to the sudden change of the situation, the Zuo Army's drills were urgently stopped, and the generals took Zuo Liangyu back to Wuchang City to discuss the next military affairs.

No one expected that the situation in Yunyang would change so quickly.

In the commander's mansion, Zuo Liangyu was lying on the couch, already exhausted, and the armor on his body was also stained with blood.

The generals of the Zuoying camp had been fighting among themselves because of Zuo Liangyu's poor health. Now that Jingxiang's Dashun army is united together, Zuo Liangyu fell ill in public. Everyone knows that Wuchang City is now in danger, and we must think about it. There is a way.

After an unknown amount of time, Zuo Liangyu gradually caught his breath.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly gathered around.

"Master, you are finally awake!"

"Now Huguang's situation is unstoppable, Wuchang City is in danger, you should think of a way as soon as possible!"

The generals of the Zuoying below were already arguing.

"If there's anything to talk about, I think I'll fight Shun Kou directly!"

"My left army has tens of thousands of people, and we are afraid that the 10 bandits in Huguang will fail?"

"That's right, punch them one by one, and kill them all! Bandits are nothing to worry about!"

As soon as these words of advocating a proactive attack were uttered, people poured cold water on them.

"Fight, what should I use to fight Dashun?"

"Don't forget, it's Li Zicheng's third brother Li Zijing who came here this time. The front battalion he brought with him broke Duoduo in the Tongguan formation. It must be the main force of the Dashun army. If you want to kill you, I won't go!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of silence in the hall.

Yes, the defenders of the Dashun Army in Huguang were okay, but their left battalion had never won against Li Zicheng's main force, and they had been beaten all the time.

Looking back on the years of fighting between Zuo Jun and Chuang Jun, the arrogance of the Zuo Jun generals disappeared immediately.

Dashun and the Qing army won each other's battles, but beating their Zuo army was really a blow to reduce dimensionality.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Zuo Army was ordered to resist the barracks in Shanzhou and was defeated.

A few months later, Chuangying attacked Luoyang for the first time, and the left army was ordered to intercept it.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng was defeated by Hong Chengchou in Dengfeng and fled to Shiyangguan.

Zuo Liangyu was ordered to lead the Zuo army and the general soldier Tang Jiuzhou to intercept. Li Zicheng defeated Zuo Liangyu on the way to escape, and then took advantage of the situation to encircle the general soldier Tang Jiuzhou.

The left army fled in all directions, so that the general Tang Jiuzhou's flanks were vacuumed, and he fell into the siege of the rushing army, fighting to the death.

In the 15th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen appointed Zuo Liangyu's good friend Hou Xun as the supervisor, and gave 50 taels of money to reward the Zuo army, so as to refresh the army's morale, Zuo Liangyu decided to attack again.

Subsequently, Zuo Liangyu raised 12 troops, claiming 50, and fought against Li Zicheng in Zhuxian Town.

Zuo Liangyu's family fortune was lost in this battle.

In this battle between Zuo Liangyu and Li Zicheng, Zuo Liangyu was defeated again.

Almost all the elites of the Zuo Army were lost in Zhuxian Town, and the Chuangjun was blinded by killing them. They chased and killed them for twelve miles, so that the corpses of the Zuo Army were scattered all over the field. Discoloration.

Li Zicheng chased him to Xiangyang, Zuo Liangyu fought again with his army, and was defeated again, so he retreated to Kaifeng.

Li Zicheng chased him to Kaifeng, but Zuo Liangyu was defeated again.

Zuo Liangyu fought Li Zicheng three times in Zhuxian Town, losing all of them disastrously, and has never dared to fight since then.

In the battle of the 15th year of Chongzhen, the spirit of the Zuo army against the Chuang army was completely destroyed by Li Zicheng. Since then, all the generals of the Zuo army have trembled when they saw the banner of the Chuang army, and so did the soldiers of the Zuo army. .

Later, when Li Zicheng conquered Xiangyang, Zuo Liangyu dared to watch from the sidelines. In order to protect himself, he retreated to Wuchang to defend himself.

Zuo Liangyu sat up slowly and sighed.

He knew in his heart that although today's Zuo army falsely claims to be in the millions, today's drill looks magnificent, but most of them are stragglers he recruited after Wuchang. General's left army.

Even the Zuo army at that time was no match for the Chuang army. If Li Zijing who came to Huguang really brought Li Zicheng's main force, then he would have no chance of winning.

"This Li Zijing, what is his background?"

Zuo Liangyu sat up, looked at the crowd and asked.

The voices of the generals' discussion gradually became inaudible, Zuo Menggeng said.

"Father Commander, this Li Zijing is Li Zicheng's third younger brother. He is also known as the Little Chuang King in the Dashun Army. He has quite a reputation after the Battle of Tongguan."

Zuo Liangyu was slightly taken aback, and pondered for a long time.

"Recently the crown prince came to Nanjing from the north, and Xu Benshuai sent a secret decree. You can take a look first."

As he spoke, Zuo Liangyu waved his hand, and more than a dozen personal soldiers came up to the hall and presented a golden scroll. ,

After the generals distributed and watched, the voice of discussion gradually rose again.

Zuo Liangyu's intentions couldn't be more obvious, instead of going to meet the main force of the Dashun Army sent by Li Zicheng in Huguang, it would be better to use this as an excuse and go down the river, to the Qing Dynasty's side!

Nanjing is a good place. After Gao Jie died in Suizhou, none of the other three Jiangbei towns could compete with Zuojun.

They couldn't beat the Dashun army, so it was not easy to bully Nanming?
For a while, all the generals echoed.

"I will follow the order of the commander in chief!"

Zuo Liangyu saw that people's hearts were available, so he stood up holding his breath and looked around at the crowd.

"Nowadays the treacherous ministers Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng in Nanjing are taking power and bullying the lord. A good man is not talented, but he has been greatly favored by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Now that he has obtained a secret decree, he should obey it!"

"Pass down my military order, the army will set off in five days, take away all supplies in Wuchang, burn the city, and leave no bricks and tiles for the Shunkou!"

"This commander-in-chief will lead everyone to go down the river to the east, side by the Qing emperor, eliminate treacherous ministers, and assist Prince Chongzhen to ascend the throne!"
