Chapter 1006

At this time, Li Zicheng was in high spirits. Last year, they were driven to despair by Hong Chengchou and Liu Bu's people. They ventured to take the Meridian Road. As a result, they were ambushed by sun chuanting and almost completely annihilated.

The war was so fierce that even Li Zicheng was terrified. So many brothers who followed them to fight in the world died in front of him. Even his most respected and beloved uncle was captured and cut by the Ming court. The district is frightening them, and their hatred for the Ming Dynasty has reached the extreme.

Originally, they all hid in the mountains and would be killed at any time. Who knows that the Ming army withdrew, relaxed their siege and turned to other battlefields, which gave them an opportunity.

When the soldiers came out of Zhong Nanshan, Li Zicheng was very hesitant. When they crossed the land of the Central Plains last year, they felt the wind and were in high spirits. They won hundreds of miles from Xingyang to Luoyang, but they were beaten in just one year. They died and injured miserably.

In the past, they looked down on the court officers and soldiers and thought that their combat effectiveness was not very good. Now they know that the officers and soldiers are powerful. If they did not escape quickly, there is only one result, that is, they were ruthlessly killed by the officers and soldiers. At this time, he no longer has the arrogance he used to have.

However, when they first came out of Zhongnan mountain, they easily recruited a large number of soldiers and horses, because too many poor people and too many people have no food. As long as they give people a meal, they will work with you with weapons.

As a result, in just half a year, he changed from hundreds of people to hundreds of thousands, and his troops are expanding every day.

Moreover, at this time, it can be called heaven's help. The rebellion of the Liu family knocked down the imperial court and made the imperial court draw more troops to the eastern battlefield, which made the local more empty. The emptiness of the local troops gave him more opportunities. He began to attack some surrounding counties and expand his power.

When the imperial court and the Liu family were at odds, he thought there was an opportunity to formally siege Xi'an. After taking this place, he would have the opportunity to unify the northwest.

Li Zicheng has their strategy. Although they are roving bandits, they are anti thieves after all. They also want to succeed in rebellion and become emperors themselves. At present, their only chance is to unify the northwest and resist the officers and soldiers in other places with the natural danger of Tongguan.

With so many people besieging Xi'an, he thought it was almost a mess. Although Xi'an is a big city, Daming has so many big cities. Under the attack of the Chinese legion, he easily won such a big country. Daming is a giant, but this giant has no claws and teeth, and everyone can have a share.

However, the situation is changing rapidly. The Chinese army quickly defeated the Ming army, entered the capital and became a new imperial court.

In the past, Li Zicheng and others looked down on the Chinese army and thought that they were just another anti thief. However, after several battles, they realized that the Chinese army was particularly powerful.

These days, the combat effectiveness of the army is recognized. The wandering bandits are beaten by the officials to hide East and West, while the officials are defeated by JianNu. It can also be understood that JianNu is the most effective.

Who knows that even JianNu is dead against the Chinese army. Even their richest southern Liaoning has been lost and beaten. It can also be understood that the Chinese army is the most powerful.

Moreover, the expansion speed of the Chinese army is also very fast. It is said that when they went south to cross the Yangtze River, Liu Bu had boasted on the bow of the boat: "Zhongshan is gray in wind and rain, and millions of heroes cross the river."

In other words, at that time, the power of the Chinese army had reached millions. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese army was equal to that of JianNu. JianNu was less than ten thousand, and ten thousand were invincible. Now the Chinese army that defeated JianNu has millions. What a terrible power.

Therefore, Li Zicheng also accelerated his attack on Xi'an. At present, their only opportunity is to capture Xi'an and unify the northwest as a base against them before the Liu family completes the unification of the world. Maybe there will be a front-line opportunity.

If they were in the past, they would be proud to think that the world is so big that they can't go anywhere.

But now, they know that the Chinese empire is completely different from the past.

After the Chinese army occupied every province, there were few rebels and repeated attacks. The local people basically lived and worked in peace and contentment and became their tax and military supply base.

This kind of place is also the place they are most afraid of, because it will not produce the soil of roving bandits and provide them with soldiers. Instead, it will unite the army and the people to resist their invasion.

The terrible place of the Chinese army is that it is difficult for JianNu, Ming army and roving bandits to seize a piece of land from them, which means that they have an extremely strong control over the place. What's more, after they quickly calm down these places, they quickly get local support and a large number of troops, money and food.

On the surface, Li Zicheng was in high spirits and led hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Xi'an.

He rode on a green horse, raised his whip and boasted with the top generals around him: "Liu thief has millions of troops, and there are millions of rebels. The winner is unknown."

Hearing the words of Chuang Wang, the officers and men around him cheered and cheered. They thought that Li Chuang Wang must have a plan in mind to say such words. This shows that they are in a great situation and can soon defeat the enemy, invade the city and be popular and spicy.

Only Li Zicheng and his high-level generals can't laugh. Others blindly follow them to rebel. As long as they have a mouthful of food to eat, most people will choose to work with them with weapons.

Because they have no way, they will starve to death if they do not rebel. Most of their troops are composed of hundreds of thousands of troops, not hundreds of thousands of farmers who gather together to rebel because they are too hungry.

In the past, they would not have this idea. They would simply think that the armies in the world are like this. There is an old camp next to the generals of major military towns. They are well-equipped and well-trained. They are the elite of the elite. With them, they can make a comeback and make a comeback.

Not only are they like this, but even the Ming army has this virtue. In addition to the servants around them, other soldiers can't even get a full meal. Many people will exchange their armor and weapons for food. How can such an army fight?

But even such an army beat them down and let them hide and flee.

Then they met the Chinese army. They were well-equipped, well-trained and had a new definition. You know, the servants of the generals of the Ming army could not guarantee that everyone was wearing iron armor, but the Chinese army was basically full of armor. Their soldiers were well-equipped, which was not inferior to the general's guard, That is, almost all of them use fire guns.

Hundreds of years ago, the Ming army began to use fire guns to defeat the elite Mongolian cavalry.

However, the fire gun can not be used alone. It must be equipped with weapons. It must be used together with knives and swords. Li Zicheng has seen the fire gun in the Ming army. In that way, it is not as easy to use as knives and guns in many cases. After a shot is fired on the battlefield, it is easier to take out the fire stick than him.

However, the musketeers of the Chinese Army used muskets alone. They fired very fast and densely, beating them to pieces, which made the rogue bandits desperate.

They don't have to be afraid even if they fight with the officers and soldiers. They all chop at close range with knives. No matter what happens, they may chop the other party to death. When there are many people, they rush up and throw knives together. Even if you have peerless martial arts, you will be hacked to death. They claim that there is the courage of ten thousand men to defeat the enemy and the invincible Cao Wenzhao is not killed by them?

However, if you fall in love with the Chinese army, it will make him despair. The other party is a military array composed of fire guns and cannons. You fight with you more than 100 steps away. You are killed by others before you rush to others' array. How can you fight like this?

Sure enough, the Chinese army soon unified the world and marched westward on a large scale.

How did Li Zicheng know that the Chinese army was marching westward on a large scale? That's because he planted a large number of spies in the direction of Yanjing. They were aware of some major military operations of the Chinese army.

Now Liu Yuanqiao, the leader of the Chinese army, has ascended the throne as emperor, and then issued an imperial edict to ascend the throne. Then he ordered his army to attack in all directions and dominate the world.

Not only did they pursue and kill the remnants of the Ming army, but they also pursued and killed rogue bandits. Moreover, the Chinese army also looked up to them and formed a western expedition Corps led by Hong Chengchou, with a population of 100000. In a few days, they will advance eastward and annihilate them.

Li Zicheng smiled bitterly. The Chinese court really looked up to them and sent 100000 troops to deal with them.

If someone leads 100000 troops, Li Zicheng will boast that you have 100000 troops and I have 100000 troops. Why are you afraid of you?

But now it's different. The one they fear most is Hong Yan. In those years, Hong Chengchou led a patchwork army, beating them all over the ground to find teeth and falling flowers and running water. They can't survive in the vast Shaanxi. They fled to Shanxi and Henan. Now, this Hong Yan, Once again led hundreds of thousands of troops to deal with them, their army's life will be difficult.

In the face of the dangerous situation, military division Niu Jinxing gave three strategies: top, middle and bottom.
