Li Zicheng had no way to deal with the enemy's wolf like army. The generals around him were all frightened by the fire in the small temple. The big guys are ready to fall into the tree and scatter the monkeys. They go their own way, but Niu Jinxing, who is forced by the cow, actually has three strategies, which shows that he has a clear mind and can handle it easily. He should be easy to deal with.
Li Zicheng knew that these damn scholars were so stupid and forced.
I don't need three strategies at all. Just one strategy. You can help me defeat the Chinese thieves.
As a result, there is no good strategy among the top, middle and bottom three strategies put forward by this damn bastard. It is nothing more than to quickly unify the northwest in a short time, and then use Tongguan natural danger to resist the invasion of the Chinese army. Who TMD doesn't know the good way to do so, that is, they are now besieging Xi'an city and unifying the northwest.
Now, the areas west of Tongguan and east of Xi'an are basically under their control. Only Xi'an City, a big city, has not been taken down by them, and the core of the Northwest has not been taken down, which means that they cannot control the whole northwest.
They are all poor jingling. They also point to the destruction of Xi'an city and get the money and food in the city as military pay. Therefore, Xi'an city is the place they must take.
In Niu Jinxing's worst policy, they are asked to select capable personnel, form elite soldiers, and quickly flee to the West. It's best to escape to areas outside Jiayuguan or Qinghai. To put it bluntly, it's to escape.
The land in Northwest China is barren. It is no longer the fertile land in those days. It is so poor that it is difficult to support the army, let alone the more barren land outside the pass.
In that place outside the pass, it is difficult to compete not only with the UZ Tibetans, but also with the Mongols in the quasi golbu.
After weighing several times, Li Zicheng decided to take the best policy and go all out to attack Xi'an. After winning here, he integrated the resources of the northwest to fight against Hong Chengchou's army with Tongguan natural danger. Didn't Hong Chengchou threaten to reach it in a month? That's good. He still has a long time to go.
So Li Zicheng ordered his army to stop resting and attack this place day and night. He made a promise that as long as he captured Xi'an City, he would not seal the knife for three days, and all the children, women and silk in the city would be distributed to the soldiers without taking any money.
This is a great stimulus to the army. These soldiers are like crazy. They rush forward to the wall at all costs. The people in front die, and the people behind them rush forward.
The roving bandits are so crazy and brave that they are not afraid of death. That's because before they charge, everyone is full of food and wine.
In the words of their senior generals, this is decapitation rice and decapitation wine. If they dare to drink, they are TMD death squads. If they rush forward with weapons, they must attack the wall. Those who return without success will be beheaded on the spot.
Moreover, these officers did not say anything. They set up a supervision team just after the position. The supervision team is responsible for forcing these soldiers to rush forward. If anyone dares to escape back, they will be executed on the spot.
In other words, for these soldiers, rushing forward is death, and returning back is death. It's better to fight hard to see if they can mix one military skill with another.
Some people will say, don't you just have a meal for a drink? Can you kill yourself after a meal?
Among the roving bandits, food is also extremely scarce. Only those who go to war have a nest. Those who don't go to war just send a bowl of thin porridge that can take care of people. They don't have enough to eat at all.
Many people are hungry. In the army, there are fights and fights every day. Without exception, these fights and fights are to rob food and property. Even in this camp, many people directly attack the dead. It can be seen how lacking their food and how hungry these soldiers are.
Many soldiers came for this meal. Anyway, they are all dead. Why not be a full ghost?
The roving bandits are so crazy that they rush forward at all costs, which makes the defenders in the city very tight. They are under great pressure. Several places have been captured by the roving bandits. They drive them out of the city with their human lives.
Seeing that the wandering bandits under the city are so crazy, Li Guanghai laments that like this, they can't last a month at all. I'm afraid they can't keep it for half a month at most.
The roving bandits under the city shouted slogans and attacked the city, leaving no chickens and dogs. In fact, they also frightened the defenders, soldiers and people in the city.
After hearing the slogan of the other side, the garrison and the army and the people were trembling with fear. The souls of the dead took risks. On the day of breaking the city, there were no chickens and dogs left, which meant that they would be killed. In that case, they had to fight their lives and block the enemy. They could not let them rush in. If these vagrants rushed into the city, their families and their homes, All were destroyed in the war and had nothing.
The squires and rich families in the city also know that at the critical moment of life and death, if they are ordinary people, the roving bandits may spare their lives. Only these squires and rich families have no reason to live.
Because they have so many shops, fields and property, which are urgently needed by the rogue bandits. If there are not so many rich families in the city, they are not afraid that the rogue bandits will not come. If they fight here, they come for the property here.
In particular, King Qin, the vassal who guarded here, also heard about the tragic end of the king after he was conquered in other places, so he opened his treasure house, opened his granary and let Li Guanghai send someone to take it. He only wanted to be able to guard the city. All the strong and strong of his king city were sent to the city wall, including the prince, Fengguo generals and auxiliary generals, He drove them to the city, because they all knew that once the city was broken, it would be a dead end.
Under such a situation where the army and the people were united as one, the Ming army guarding the city, although there were not many troops, was united as one, and everyone worked hard to block the attack of the roving bandits like a raging wave.
Roving bandits have the advantage of personnel and can launch attacks from all directions day and night.
The garrison only has the power to defend the city. With the tall city wall, they prepared enough stones, giant trees, golden soup and so on.
As long as you dare to come, I'll throw these things down and smash the roving bandits who attacked the city half to death. After more than ten days, the corpses under the four walls of Xi'an city are stacked two meters high. Looking around, there are corpses everywhere, and the roving bandits rush forward on the corpses of their companions.
Such a situation is like Shura hell.
Li Zicheng knew that this was his last chance. If he could not capture here, he would eventually be chased by Hong Chengchou, just like a lost dog.
Therefore, Li Zicheng has been on the battlefield day and night these days. He personally takes charge of the supervision team, marches the troops into the battlefield, and orders them to rush forward. Those who dare to come back or return without success will be killed.
In the past ten days, there were more than 3000 companions killed by themselves, but Li Zicheng did not hesitate to cut them off, put his head on a wooden pole and put it in public.
At first, he attacked these ordinary soldiers. Later, even the officers and soldiers of his old camp returned without success and were executed. Many generals were executed on the spot.
This greatly deterred the whole army and frightened these soldiers. There was no way but to rush forward. This method was indeed effective. Through their continuous attacks, the Ming army in the city was killed and killed by them. Later, the city was guarded by ordinary people. Even women and children came on the stage and smashed down with stones.
Li Zicheng was sneering. If it lasted for three days, they could use up all the troops in the city, and they attacked.
In fact, it didn't take three days. Today he organized the most powerful assault, led by Liu Zongmin, his top general.
Liu Zongmin personally led the elite soldiers of their old camp to attack. Before setting out, Liu Zongmin drank a bowl of wine and smashed the bowl on the ground. He vowed to die. He either captured Xi'an city or died in his job.
Liu Zongmin personally led the team to fight, which greatly inspired the morale and morale of the army. Liu Zongmin was also a very brave man. His personal team attacked the wall. Then, as a senior general, he personally attacked the wall, slashed and killed on the wall, and defeated the weak Ming army.
Finally, the roving bandits stood firm on the city wall and expanded their scope. After occupying a large section of the city wall, they began to attack the city tower. After attacking the city tower, they attacked down the steps.
Although the Ming army and people in the city were very tenacious and basically defended their city walls in a life-threatening way, in the face of Liu Zongmin's fierce attack, and the elite soldiers sent out were really defeating the Ming army. After they controlled a large number of city walls, they occupied the city tower, attacked all the way down and finally conquered the city gate, They opened the city gate and welcomed the bandits outside the city in.
Li Zicheng watched the battle in person today. He placed great hopes on today's assault. Their time is running out. If they don't capture here before Hong Chengchou's leader arrives, they will be dead.
Today is their last chance. If they can't win here, they have to deploy troops to strengthen the defense of Tongguan to resist Hong Chengchou's invasion.
As a result, Liu Zongmin was worthy of being the enemy of ten thousand people. After he personally led the attack, he also greatly inspired the morale of the soldiers. They captured the city gate, opened the city gate and welcomed the army in.
Li Zicheng laughed up and attacked the city gate, which means that the general situation has been determined. The Ming army is weak and weak. It is to resist them with the benefit of the city wall. When the city wall is attacked, they have no defense ability, that is, the sheep they slaughtered.
Li Zicheng pulled out his sword and said loudly, "brothers, let me kill you into the city!"
At this moment, the morale of the roving bandits also rose to the extreme. They shouted in unison, took weapons and killed into the city with Li Zicheng.
Who knows, at this time, an urgent horn came from behind.
