When Li Zicheng saw his Chinese army, he collapsed completely. Knowing that he was unable to return to heaven, he gathered the soldiers around him, clapped his horse and left.
As for the hundreds of thousands of troops he was present, as well as the old camp soldiers who attacked the city, it was too late to summon.
This is Li Zicheng's fighting experience for many years. When he fights with the officers and soldiers, he must retreat immediately when he sees that the wind is wrong, otherwise he can't go if he wants to be bitten by the other party.
If they don't hit, they will retreat. That's their tactics and their way to save their lives. That's why they are called roving bandits.
Although he escaped, he ordered his subordinates to fight hard to win time for his escape. Moreover, he was confident that nearly 200000 of his subordinates were fighting here. Hong Chengchou's troops needed time to clean up these people, which gave him time to escape.
However, Li Zicheng wanted to escape. It was not easy. Zu Kuan had been staring at his central army Da Kuan. Zu Kuan, as a member of the guanning army, was ordered to lead the troops into the pass. He had been an official to the general army, which was not much inferior to his old master Zu dashou. However, he knew that most of his cavalry soldiers were the children of Liaoxi generals, and most of them also received grain from Liaoxi, If he thinks that the imperial court has promoted him to the post of chief soldier, he can stand on his own door and mountain. That's more than I think.
If he dared to open his own door, he was afraid that when he fell asleep, his head would be cut off and used as a night pot, so he still followed the order of his grandparents.
Since Zu dashou surrendered, they all believed in him and asked him how to prepare him to leave.
As a result, the speed of the form became beyond everyone's expectation. Even the army of Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang surrendered, and Zu Kuan naturally became a member of the surrender.
Zu Kuan was also raised by the soldiers at the bottom, because he was brave and fearless in battle and took the lead.
Today, he also personally led the troops to rush into the array, repeatedly rushed into the array, and several times rushed Li Zicheng's array to pieces, and then the infantry pressed them all over, and forcibly defeated them.
Even if Li Zicheng personally led the main force to fight back, Zu Kuan showed no weakness and led his cavalry to attack each other. The two sides fought miserably together.
Seeing that the opportunity was bad, Li Zicheng smeared oil on the soles of his feet. He didn't want to let this person go, so he ordered his soldiers and horses and pursued them to death.
Zu Kuan will not be confused by the other party. Although there are more than 100000 people on the battlefield, the absolute core is Li Zicheng. If Li Zicheng escapes or is captured, these 100000 people will be finished.
Moreover, they all have rich experience in fighting with the roving bandits. We know that the roving bandits have combat effectiveness, that is, their main old camp, and the rest are temporarily surrendered. If the old camp is destroyed, it is a matter of one sentence to let them surrender.
So when Zu Kuan saw that Li Zicheng wanted to escape, he didn't care about other people on the battlefield. He lit the main force and pursued it desperately, without giving the other party any chance to breathe.
Li Zicheng is a big thief in the world. Now he is the master of the rogue bandits. If he can win this person, it means that he can basically defeat the rogue bandits. This is a great credit.
It will be the courage of the three armed forces, which is more realistic among the roving bandits. Most of them are temporarily attached. If their soldiers are good in a downwind battle, they will be like wolves and tigers.
They are now like this. When they encounter hard ideas and fight hard battles, the coach has fled. Can they expect their people to work hard?
It's impossible. When they saw Li Zicheng escape, they fled, or knelt down and surrendered. In a short time of half a cup of tea, an earth shaking reversal took place in the battlefield.
Just now, the two armies were facing each other. In the twinkling of an eye, it became the Chinese Army's all-round crackdown on the roving aggressors.
Liu Zongmin cleaved fiercely. When Li Guanghai saw the other party's knife, he cleaved fast and fiercely. There was almost no way to hide. He was about to be cleaved to death by the other party.
Who knows, one of his soldiers rushed over and stood in front of him. As a result, Liu Zongmin cut the soldier in two with a knife from top to bottom. His internal organs were scattered all over the ground and his blood sprayed all over him. It can be seen that the power of this knife is so cruel.
At the time of Liu Zongmin's accident, Li Guanghai saw the opportunity and slashed Liu Zongmin's chest. The knife was very heavy, and Liu Zongmin retreated five or six steps.
Fortunately, Liu Zhongmin wore two layers of heavy armor, but the two layers of armor were split, and the iron armor on his body almost spread, which made Liu Zongmin retreat in embarrassment.
Li Guanghai gained power and rushed up again with a big knife. Liu Zongmin failed in one move and could only retreat step by step.
If Liu Zongmin's army can defeat the defenders in the city and capture here quickly, they still have a chance and morale.
Now I see that the other side has launched a counter attack without showing weakness. The two sides attack each other with attack. They fight with their lives here at the gate of the city. Every step is filled with human lives. Blood is spilled all over the ground, and the corpses are piled everywhere. This desperate fighting method also makes the wandering bandits feel cold.
They rushed in with a strong spirit. Now they are stifled by the other party. Seeing that there is no hope, most soldiers kill and retreat the enemy and turn around and leave. They plan to withdraw first.
Watching the soldiers withdraw like water, Liu Zongmin had no choice but to withdraw with the soldiers.
He wanted to fight to the death. He found that Li Guanghai had organized hundreds of people to rush towards him. If he didn't go, he would either let the other party capture alive or let the other party kill him. He was intolerable, and he retreated with hatred under the desperate protection and delay of his subordinates.
Li Guanghai and others managed to push the other party back, so they pursued the victory and killed the enemy at the gate. After killing the enemy, they immediately closed the gate.
At this time, when Li Guanghai boarded the city wall, he was surprised to find that the battlefield outside the city had undergone amazing changes. Originally, there were more than 200000 roving bandits outside the city. They surrounded the city and attacked day and night. Their main force was attacked, caught off guard, and now it collapsed completely.
No wonder the roving bandits who invaded the city had no reinforcements, because they had no reinforcements at all. If they didn't retreat, they would be dead.
Seeing the situation under the city, Li Guanghai breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground. At this time, he found that although he was wearing armor, there were five or six wounds on his body. Blood was flowing everywhere, just like a bloody man. The soldiers around him were all dead and injured. There were some old, weak, sick and disabled people around him. Everyone was very embarrassed, But seeing the rogue bandits defeated, they all have a feeling of survival.
Now! Although Hong Chengchou's troops under the city were only about 10000, they pressed a huge army of itinerant bandits to fight, chased them to fight, and defeated them one after another.
Wherever Hong Chengchou's handsome flag went, the flag fluttered in the wind and won bursts of cheers. Even the Ming army in the city raised their weapons and cheered loudly.
The battle these days has been extremely fierce. The defenders in the city have suffered heavy casualties and can't defend at all. If it weren't for the strong men in the city, men, women, old and young, they would fight together and fight hard to block the enemy. I'm afraid they would have been attacked by the enemy.
But we all know that fighting like this will not last long. Soon, they will be consumed and the city will be broken.
As a result, Hong Chengchou led his troops here, beat the enemy out of reach and completely defeated him.
Hong Chengchou has a high prestige in the local area. He was originally the highest officer in this area. He personally led more than 100000 people out of the customs to pursue and kill the rogue bandits. Now he led his children's soldiers back, which made the defenders and ordinary people in the city very happy. Many people knelt down to thank each other and celebrate the rest of their lives after the robbery.
However, Li Guanghai did not dare to take any light heart. After making a simple bandage, he immediately ordered the people who were still alive to guard on the city wall and stand in full battle readiness without giving the enemy the slightest chance.
Thinking about the danger just now, he felt afraid and almost let the enemy attack. If the enemy attacked, even if the reinforcements arrived, they could not change their fate of becoming ghosts under the knife.
Many people also have this idea, so they all have a kind of shock and happiness for the rest of their lives.
After Liu Zongmin led his troops out of the east gate, he was shocked to find that in such a short time, their Chinese army had been defeated. Chuang Wang led his troops to retreat. On the battlefield, there was chaos. Soldiers scrambled for their lives and trampled on each other. Some people slashed and killed with knives in order to escape. Even their own people were killed. It can be said that it was chaos.
Liu Zongmin wanted to quit, regroup, and help Chuang Wang defeat the enemy after he gathered the army.
Who knows that after such a short time, he collapsed completely. Looking at the scene of the defeat like a mountain, the war was in chaos, and everyone scrambled for their lives, so he couldn't organize at all.
The Chinese army, on the other hand, formed a military array and pressed against them like an avalanche of mountains and seas. Wherever they went, they drove them to the city wall like sheep.
This is not a fight at all, but a one-sided massacre.
Seeing such a tragic situation, Liu Zongmin was also sad from his heart. He had no choice. He also retreated with the soldiers, became a deserter, and coerced him to retreat towards the south gate.
But the Chinese army would not allow them to retreat calmly, but pursued and fought hard, biting and biting.
Even though Liu Zhongzong had organized some people to stay behind for many times, they were all killed and destroyed by the other party in an instant, and the other party also recognized them as the main force, biting and chasing them all the way.
Even when it was dark, the other side refused to relax and bit them. After the collapse of the east gate, they fought seven times in a row and lost seven wars and seven defeats, all ending in the complete retreat of the roving bandits. Even if they retreated to the South on the other side, they were followed by the other side to destroy them and flatten their camp in the twinkling of an eye.
