The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 656
Li Zicheng did have a talent for rebellion, and he was able to cope with Hong Chengchou's ten-sided encirclement and suppression with ease. He led the bandits to attack east and west, and did a great job of rebellion.

Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang, who had returned to Shaanxi, joined forces and ambushed the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Liu Chenggong and Ai Wannian in Bajiazhai, Xiangle Town, Ningzhou, breaking Hong Chengchou's encirclement.

The guerrilla Wang Xi ordered more than [-] troops to join Ai Wannian and Liu Chenggong and hastily re-encircled them. Unfortunately, they were not Li Zicheng's opponents. Ai Wannian and his deputy Liu Guozhen were killed in a fierce battle. Xi Ming escaped with serious injuries.

Hong Chengchou, who moved to Binzhou, was very worried after hearing the news. The emperor had already blamed Fengyang.

In the original history, among the fierce men who participated in the suppression of bandits in the eighth year of Chongzhen, there were three or four thousand Guanning cavalry led by Zu Kuan and Zu Dale, and Zuo Liangyu's tribe.

Today's history is completely different, Zuo Liangyu is still suffering in the dog cage, Zu Kuan is the chief banner officer of Qiongya County King, and Zu Dale is the third-class lieutenant of Jiannu.

Now Hong Chengchou's generals are the cavalry of Cao Wenzhao and Ma Shihu who have the ability to run. When Cao Wenzhao heard that his friend Ai Wannian had died in battle, he was so angry that he drew his sword and slashed at the ground.

This fierce man was unambiguous in killing the bandits. He walked for three days and ran five hundred miles to beat Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang's troops.

The rogues are slowly waking up, damn it!

It seems that the big and small cao only have more than three thousand cavalry, we have tens of thousands of old battalion brothers, and five or six thousand cavalry, as for fleeing in such a panic?
Li Zicheng was furious. He learned that the pursuers were the two Caos, who had turned pale when they talked about it. At this time, Li Zicheng showed his true qualities.

Li Zicheng did not arrange blindly, but learned from his repeated defeats in battles with Cao Wenzhao's troops, and thought of concentrating his troops to intercept and use human lives to kill Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao's reliance was more than a thousand Guanning iron cavalry, plus one or two thousand frontier cavalry brought from Xuanda to make surprise attacks.

Cao Wenzhao's style of play was completely copied from the Jiannu and Mongols. He used the mobility of the cavalry to harass and harass the enemy from time to time.

Undoubtedly, the rogues who were targeted by Cao Wenzhao were often defeated within a few days. Because they were followed by powerful enemies and attacked from time to time, they suffered heavy losses. The psychological pressure of the rogues can be imagined, and collapse is inevitable.

When the enemy was in disarray, the opportunity for Cao Wenzhao's cavalry to make a surprise attack came. A burst of cover-ups was always better with less, and two or three thousand cavalry could defeat thousands or even tens of thousands of mobs.

Li Zicheng believed that the reason why his side could not beat Cao Wenzhao was not because of his inability, but because his subordinates did not have the determination to fight.

He issued a death order, with all the old battalion brothers as the main attack, and set up an ambush, waiting for Cao Wenzhao's troops to advance aggressively. Gao Yingxiang also suppressed all his main cavalry.

Li Zicheng's tactics were completely correct. They concentrated their forces to attack the other following officers and troops. Cao Wenzhao's troops, such as the tarsus maggots, could not sit idly by.

However, the rogues chose to attack Cao Wenzhao's department with the strongest combat effectiveness, and other officials and military forces may not go all out to rescue them. Moreover, the mobility of other troops of the Ming army is not worth mentioning, and they may not be able to catch up when they think of reinforcements.

Cao Wenzhao didn't know that the rogues had murderous intentions at all, so he waited to plot against his men, without guarding against them at all.

This is also because he has been invincible in fighting with the rogues for several years, and his nerves have become thick. Unexpectedly, the rogues have also grown up amidst constant failures.

Cao Wenzhao asked his nephew Cao Bianjiao to command a thousand fine cavalry to lead the vanguard, and one of them was the chief Guanning cavalry.

He personally led [-] cavalry to the back of the palace, including two commanders of Guanning Iron Cavalry, and about [-] cavalry followed the bandits all the way to attack, and the army marched to a place called Xianzi in Qiutou Town.

Li Zicheng's troops lured the enemy's ambushes to rise up and cut off the Ming army in the middle.

Cao Bianjiao was the first to fight, and beheaded hundreds of Li Zicheng's men. The bandits suddenly couldn't stand it anymore and broke into chaos. In less than an hour, the defeated bandits fled to the forest area to the east.

These [-] bandits are actually just luring the enemy, but their defeat is really not just pretending, but they really can't beat them, and they really fled.

When the false is true, the true is also false. Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao never thought that the bandits would spend their money and wait to beat them. Chase to Diaoling pass.

Seeing that the cavalry of the two cavalry had all entered the ambush circle, a drum sounded, and Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang personally led the old battalion to charge.

It wasn't the first time that Cao Wenzhao was coaxed by the bandits to launch a surprise attack. He didn't care at all, and he swung his saber to fight in Tangzi'ao, Qiutou Town.

This is the fierce general Cao Wenzhao, what if he is surrounded?Hit it right!
Cao Wenzhao was indeed very fierce, and a burst of dashing broke through Li Zicheng's encirclement with more than a hundred cavalry behind him.

It's a pity that Cao Wenzhao was unlucky, and the rogues didn't have the extravagant hope to kill all cavalry of cavalry, big and small, in the first battle.

The rogues didn't know that Cao Wenzhao was among the cavalry who had already run out, and Cao Wenzhao was about to escape from danger.

At this moment, there was a sudden change. It was a pawn under Cao Wenzhao who was caught by the bandits. He saw the majestic general of his own with the tip of his eyes, and hurriedly shouted: "General, save me quickly!"

It was this voice that was bad, and it was this cry that cost the life of Cao Wenzhao in history.

Several former Zuo Liangyu's subordinates among the rogues knew Cao Wenzhao, and immediately identified him: "The one wielding the saber is Cao Zongbing."

Damn, such a painstaking arrangement is to deal with Ercao, Cao Wenzhao only has a hundred riders left, when will he not beat the dog in the water at this time?

The rogues immediately shouted in unison: "Brothers, come forward quickly, Cao Wenzhao is here."

The bandit leaders who heard the yelling reacted immediately. They yelled: "Brothers, this is a rare opportunity. Don't leave Ercao. It's time to avenge the dead brothers. Kill..."

Cao Wenzhao used to kill so hard that all the rogues hated him to the bone. At this moment, they were all red-eyed, and they all dared to siege up to take revenge. Three floors inside and three floors outside, the gap was blocked in an instant.

Moreover, after obtaining the exact location of Cao Wenzhao, more and more rogues participated in the encirclement and annihilation of Cao Wenzhao.
