Cao Bianjiao's 20,000 cavalry did not move immediately, they were quiet like a hunting tiger, staring at the battlefield, the dark armor shone with cold light.
The two sides quickly turned into a fierce battle. Zhou Zheng's troops were all elite, strong and as hard as iron.
Although Li Zicheng's army lacks discipline and sufficient training, it has won a great victory all the way, and it has also won the capital. Its momentum is like a rainbow, and its combat effectiveness has also been greatly improved.
The two sides were fighting endlessly, Li Zicheng put on a long-victorious long snake formation, piercing back and forth, and rushing to kill.
Zhou Zheng reacted calmly and saw tricks and tricks.
Li Zicheng stood behind, looking at Zhou Zheng's army, there was still a hint of worry, but now he is confident, with a smug sneer on his face.
The two sides fought for a full hour and turned into a tug of war.
Neither Man Gui, Yang Guozhu’s left wing, nor Zhou Zheng’s Chinese army had obvious advantages, and even gradually appeared disadvantages. After all, it was because of less fighting and more.
Cao Bianjiao's cavalry still did not move, standing there, quiet and terrible!
In a piece of rock.
Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and others did not launch an offensive, and confronted Zhao Lijiao not too far away.
They also didn't know what the captive army meant, and worried that the captive army would participate in the war, so they cautiously did not attack.
This is especially true for Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Lijiao. They focused on defense first, staring at Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and other Ming surrenders, and they also wanted to guard against a captive raid.
Twenty miles away, Dorgon and Ji'erhalang sat on the horse, listening to the report of the scout.
After half an hour, Dorgon frowned and said, "This week Zhengyun will use 40,000 troops to contain us and also contain Wu Sangui and others?"
Jierhalang's face was as cold as iron, and he looked at Shanhaiguan's direction and said: "Zhou Zhengyun's strategy is very clear. Hold us. When he defeats Li Zicheng head-on, all problems will be solved."
Dorgon snorted coldly, and said: "Your Majesty has sent troops to Jinzhou, and we can't be indifferent. I think we will launch an attack. Wu Sangui will see it, and he will definitely attack. We don't need to take action to eliminate this place. Wu Sangui and others will definitely come around. Behind Zhou Zhengyun, Zhou Zhengyun! The defeat is set!"
Ji'erhalang glanced at him and said: "Your Majesty’s letter says that we are required to act cautiously and guard against Zhou Zhengyun’s successors. Zhou Zhengyun arranged forty thousand here and brought sixty thousand. The total is only one hundred thousand. This number is wrong. , Must still have a back hand."
Dorgon looked unwilling, and said: "Then let's just watch it? When they finish fighting, it's time to deal with us backhand!"
Ji'erhalang turned his head and said, "Don't worry, it's just beginning now. Let's see the direction of the wind."
Looking at the direction of the wind, that is, choosing the right opportunity, this is often the most terrifying.
Dorgon felt extremely uncomfortable, and pressed his anger, and said, "Let the detective ride a little away, let me keep an eye on it!"
A group of cavalry responded and rushed out.
The confrontation between stones continued.
Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and others are discussing and thinking about countermeasures.
Wu Sangui’s experience over the years is a bit surprising, because Zhou Zheng executed his uncle, perhaps because he was worried that Zhou Zheng would deal with him. After the First World War, Deng Lai left Jin Guoqi’s army and went to Hong Chengchou. , He was afloat, and finally sought out the Xuanfu Commander.
In suppressing bandits in the northwest, he did a lot of military exploits, and many people in the imperial court appreciated him. If Zhou Zheng had a deep foundation in the three areas of Liaodong, he might have been transferred to the army of Shanhaiguan as it was in history.
He was very handsome, with sharp eyes, looking at Tang Tong and others, and said: "The direction of Jianluo is unknown. The emperor is fighting at Yongping Mansion. We have missed the fighter plane. What should we do now?"
Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and others were also a little uncertain, and even felt a little uncertain in their hearts.
Zhou Zheng and Li Zicheng, who wins and who loses
When Zhou Zheng suppressed the prestige and prestige of the Northwest Rebellion, these generals who were fighting bandits in the Northwest knew very well. If Zhou Zhengsheng wins, what will they do
Wu Sangui didn't have such thoughts, and even didn't know what these people thought, and continued: "Cao Wenzhao, Zhao led a total of 40,000 people. We might as well try it out first. As long as the war starts, it will be clear at a glance what Jianlu means. ."
Bai Guangen hurriedly said: "Then, what if Jianluo joins Zhou Zheng? They are cavalry. After the sudden attack, our soldiers and horses are not dominant. If here is defeated, the emperor will face a front and back attack..."
Tang Tong continued: "Yes, we have to act cautiously now. We should hold them. We are not the key here. As long as we hold them and wait for the emperor to win, everything will be solved."
Wu Sangui heard what they meant, and said categorically, "No! If we have no merit, the emperor can't explain it to us, let's try it out first to see their relationship."
Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and others looked at each other, but still hesitated.
Bai Guangen looked at Wu Sangui, coughed, and said: "If we lose a lot, even if the emperor wins, there is no capital to stand on."
Bai Guangen’s words were straightforward. They were the surrenders of the Ming Dynasty, and they were already embarrassed in the Dashun Dynasty. If there is no army in their hands, they will be even more untenable and life-threatening.
Wu Sangui naturally understood this truth, frowned, and said, "If we win here, then the king will be no problem!"
Bai Guangen and Tang Tong were immediately moved, but still hesitated in his eyes.
Li Zicheng did promise them that if they win the world, what they want, but what if they lose
"Wait!" Tang Tong gritted his teeth.
Bai Guangen hurriedly followed, saying: "Now is the time to compete patiently, don't act rashly!"
Wu Sangui saw that the two of them were determined and hated, but he couldn't help it. He didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hand, so he couldn't act alone.
Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Lijiao faintly noticed the meaning of both sides, and responded calmly, and did not act rashly.
In this way, the three sides of a piece of stone, vigilant to each other, did not start the anticipated battle.
The war in Yongping County continued, and the fierce battle between the two sides became more intense. Li Zicheng stood behind the army and kept giving orders.
The drums of war are eagerly, and the world is shaking.
Zhou Zheng's 20,000 people vs. 40,000 people, even though they seem to be at a disadvantage, are still as stable as Mount Tai, showing no signs of retreat.
Cao Bianjiao's cavalry remained motionless like a mountain, like a half-sheathed sword, shining sharply, but did not launch an attack.
Man Gui, Yang Guozhu and Liu Zongmin's fights were almost equal, and they were stuck together. In a short time, there was no victory or defeat.
Li Zicheng sat in the middle of the army, and gradually saw something. He raised his brows and said, "Tian Jianxiu, when will Li be here?"
Tian Jianxiu was also General Quan and was in the same position as Liu Zongmin. Li Guo was Li Zicheng's nephew, fighting bravely. He was originally in Shaanxi, because he wanted to deal with Zhou Zheng, Li Zicheng specially called them to come, but the time of the war was advanced, and they had not had time to arrive.
An eunuch stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the two generals said this morning that they can arrive at noon. Estimated time, at most half an hour." (End of this chapter)
