please make me king

When Li Shi'an, the commander-in-chief of the Artillery Battalion, finally arrived at the Xuanfu with forty "General Qingtian Cannons" the next day, Zhang Shun finally made up his mind to launch the final decisive battle against Hou Jin.

Yes, now may not be the best time for the rebels.

If it can be like the Ming army, according to the situation that Houjin has no foothold in the pass, it will naturally be sure to strengthen the city and clear the country.

But for Zhang Shun, who has basically completed all deployments, it is better to preemptively strike than wait for Houjin to be fully prepared.

Yue Wumu, the emperor of Yue Sheng, said that "fighting after formation, the art of war is constant; the skill of using it is all in one mind." This is exactly the case.

No one can be sure of things like fighting a war.

What an excellent strategist and military strategist can do is to continuously increase the winning rate of one's side and lower the winning rate of the enemy.

Then, entrust everything to the conductor and let him perform on this basis.

Fortunately, Zhang Shun was originally the lord of a country, and he was in charge of the three armed forces. Whether it was the formulation, planning or implementation of the rebel army's strategy, he was in charge of it all by himself.

Now he is the supreme commander of this team as a matter of course, and there will be no constraints or inconveniences.

Everything was ready, and early the next morning, Zhang gave Li Zicheng, Fatty Zhang, and Li Shukong the order to attack.

After all, it was an unprecedented battle, but a march of [-] people was a huge project.

It is impossible for Zhang Shun to arrive at the opponent's city just by clicking around with the mouse like playing a game.

Therefore, at the beginning of his battle, Zhang Shun needed "distant scouts" to cover the battlefield.

However, since the entire Houjin army had war horses, ordinary scouts could no longer cover the battlefield, so Zhang Shun dispatched three battalions of cavalry as soon as he made a move.

This is also an important reason why Zhang Shun refused to let go of Li Zicheng and Fatty Zhang when the military situation in Weizhou was urgent.

Good steel should be used on the cutting edge, and good soldiers should be used at critical moments.

Following Zhang Shun's order, Li Zicheng couldn't help being lifted up, and became excited first.

It is said that the three of them had just left the Governor's Mansion, and Fatty Zhang couldn't help but wondered: "I saw you as a boring gourd in the past, why are you so energetic today?"

Li Zicheng was taken aback when he heard the words, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Fatty, you don't know something."

"Since King Shun used troops, have you ever seen him throw out the most important cavalry first?"

"Then...then what do you mean?" Fatty Zhang thought about it carefully.

It turned out that due to the lack of horses in the hands of the rebels, Zhang Shun's previous command operations, in addition to dispatching scouts, were accustomed to relying on infantry and artillery to attack the enemy first, and only willing to release cavalry to win or expand the results at critical moments, just like today , It's really "the first time a big girl got on the sedan chair".

"Then...then what do you mean?" Fatty Zhang couldn't help hesitating for a moment before asking.

"A big battle will start, and the world will be determined by one battle!" Li Zicheng lowered his voice and replied in a very affirmative tone.

Li Zicheng, although he was not as good at using troops as Zhang Shun, but at this critical moment he finally understood Zhang Shun's intentions.

"Ah? Alright, that's great!" Fatty Zhang and Li Shukong couldn't help but feel happy now. …

Maybe they don't have Zhang Shun's ability, and Li Zicheng's vision, but since the rebel army marched eastward, they have seen everything that Zhang Shun prepared, and naturally there is a feeling of taking it for granted in their hearts. confidence.

Enough food and soldiers, starting from Puzhou to Xuanfu.

The food and payment transportation system established along the way; the layer-by-layer garrison system established along the way; and the local governance and tax collection system established along the way.

One by one, it tells them that as long as they fight hard, they can win.

Sun Tzu said: If the husband has not fought and the temple is considered victorious, it must be counted as more; if the temple has not fought and the temple is considered invincible, it must be counted as small.

More counts to win, less counts to win, let alone nothing!

I look at it from this, the outcome will be seen!

Although the words are simple, they are exactly the way to simplicity!

One more preparation, naturally one more calculation, one less preparation, one less calculation.

The rebel army has enough preparations, and naturally the rebel army has enough temples, so the chance of victory for the rebel army is naturally higher.

It is said that after Li Zicheng, Zhang Fatty and Li Shukong received the military order, they immediately rectified their troops and divided into three groups to search for the security.

Along the way, all Houjin scouts and cavalry encountered were strangled without exception.

Although the rebel cavalry is not as good as Houjin's elite scouts, they are more numerous, but whenever they encounter an enemy, they will rush forward and beat the old master to death with their fists.

Along the way like this, Li Zicheng, Li Shukong and Zhang Fatzi's three battalions of cavalry did not know how many elite Houjin had been beheaded before reaching the city of Jimingyi.

The garrison of Jiming Station couldn't help being taken aback, and while locking the city gate, they asked for help from Mrs. Hong who was stationed in the direction of Bao'an.

Na Hong finally received the letter, and couldn't help being surprised: "How dare the 'Shun thief' do this!"

No wonder Mrs. Hong was so surprised. It turned out that since he arrived in Baoan Prefecture, he used the characteristics of the elite post-golden cavalry to launch scouting battles from time to time, and made a lot of money.

Even the Houjin scouts once touched the city of Datong, which caused quite a panic.

That Hong Tai's native Zhang Shunqian donkey skills are poor, so he can only hide in the city like the Ming army.

When the red barbarian cannons of "Wuzhenchaoha" and "Sanshun King" under his command arrived, he decided to raze the Xuanfu city to the ground, so that the world would know the power of the "Great Qing Kingdom".

It's just that he never expected that before the Hongyi cannon arrived, the "shun thief" over there would take the initiative to attack.

"This punch is really good, it's so wonderful, it hit me until I couldn't breathe!" Mrs. Hong couldn't help but cursed unwillingly.

"Yue Tuo is incompetent, for many days he has been holding on to a dense cloud, he is really damned!"

Even if the Houjin soldiers occupy Changping, they still cannot be connected with the outside of the Great Wall.

Although it is said that even if Miyun is in the hands of the Ming army, the Houjin soldiers can come and leave whenever they want.

However, the key question is that when a big battle is about to break out between the two sides, what if the troops here are a little weaker, and the Ming army and the defenders in Miyun City collude inside and outside, suddenly cutting off Houjin's retreat?
With a crumbling logistics channel versus an impregnable logistics channel, one can imagine who is under more pressure on both sides of the battle.

"No, we can't wait!" After thinking for a long time, Mrs. Hong couldn't help but ordered decisively, "Leave 'Wuzhenchaoha' and continue to besiege Miyun, with Kong Youde, king of respect, Shang Kexi, king of Zhishun, and Geng Zhongming, king of Huaishun, leading their troops Artillery, come to the security immediately, don't hesitate!"

It turns out that since Tiancong made cannons in the early years, the Hou Jinbing has gradually established its own "Wuzhenchaoha".

However, regardless of its level or the number of artillery pieces, it was still a bit behind the "San Shun King", so when the critical moment came, Mrs. Hong had to let the "San Shun King" hurry up.
