please make me king

Chapter 1437
A person's destiny depends not only on his own struggle, but also on the process of history.

Li Zicheng naturally didn't know that he was pushed to the cusp of the storm in his previous life, and he couldn't grasp it for a while, and ended up being defeated and killed.

As a hero of his life, although he has various shortcomings, it does not mean that he does not have his own pride.

When Zhang Shun became King of Qin, he promised him a prince.

In addition to being overjoyed, he may not be without the self-consciousness that he deserves it.

Therefore, after he decided to give up his ambition to fight for the world, he did not have the desire to make contributions in order to live up to his name and reality.

However, since he became the head coach of the North Route Army of the Rebel Army, although he has made a lot of contributions, his achievements have been mediocre.

It was so easy to be appointed as the commander-in-chief again by Zhang Shun, and he led five battalions to guard the Yellow Emperor's Temple and Banquanshui. Now he failed miserably, and Li Zicheng was already ashamed.

How can a man eat the food that comes from the cheap?

Then Li Zicheng couldn't help but turned his head to look at the camp of the rebel army, and looked at Zhang Shun who was standing on the watchtower watching the battle. He couldn't help but said: "At the beginning, His Royal Highness promised me, 'If you are the emperor, I will be the king. ’, if I am useless and unable to make contributions, wouldn’t it be a laughing stock for the world?”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help clenching his teeth, and said loudly: "The Tartars destroyed my Yellow Emperor's Temple in person, and stuffed me with water from the spring. This hatred will never be shared."

"If you can't avenge this enmity today, what face does a certain have when he goes to see His Highness and the people of the world?"

"Without him today, if you can't win, you have to die!"

All the soldiers under Li Zicheng's command were stunned when they heard the words, and they couldn't help but responded loudly: "We can't win today, but die!"

Accompanied by the repeated shouts of the rebel army, the morale was slightly boosted, and the menacing Houjin soldiers were gradually pressured back.

However, Li Zicheng also knew the gap between the soldiers of the two sides, and it was naturally difficult for him to resist the attack of the Hou Jin soldiers with only a moment of blood and courage.

The rebel army can only win this battle by breaking through the formation with artillery.

Cannons, cannons, where are the cannons of the Rebels?
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng quickly looked towards the left wing of the rebel army.

It didn't matter what he hoped, and he was startled.

Do you know why?

It turned out that the Banquan was not very deep at all. After the burial of Houjin, the water flow has decreased greatly, and the water of the Banquan lying between the two sides has decreased visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the rebel artillery positions on the north bank of Banquanshui were in full swing to build positions.

A small part of the artillery has been installed and is being adjusted and tested, while more artillery is still being transported to the position one after another.

Now Jin sits idly by, and it won't be long before this place will become the most powerful sword piercing through the Jin army formation.

However, will Houjin sit idly by?
Of course it is impossible, Mrs. Hong is not blind, seeing the rebels setting up artillery positions on the north bank of Banquan water with great fanfare, how could they not be in a hurry?
It's just that the cavalry who were originally on the right wing of Houjin had been transferred to the left wing by Mrs. Hong, and now only Geng Zhongming's battalion was located on the right wing.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, absolutely not!" Seeing this, Fan Wencheng was in a hurry, and quickly advised, "Does Your Majesty still remember the Battle of Jinzhou?"

Fan Wencheng's so-called "Battle of Jinzhou" refers to the battle of Jinzhou in the past.

Don't look at Hou Jin's superiority on the battlefield. Since the rebels have tens of thousands of soldiers, the number of soldiers fighting now is far from the total number of rebels.

If Mrs. Hong really had a chance, then Houjin would not have to fight this battle, just surrender.

"Let's do this!" Mrs. Hong hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth, "Let Ilden lead two thousand Bayara elites to harass the 'Shun Bandits', and let Geng Zhongming lead his troops to attack the 'Shun Bandits' artillery positions. All the cannons in red under the command of 'San Shun King' fired at the artillery position of 'Shun Bandit', Prince Zhuo Su Hauge led ten thousand riders to support, there must be no mistake!"

The war has progressed to this point, and now the scale may not be controlled by Hong Tai alone.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace, he had no choice but to order Hauge to come to support him.

And following Hong Tai's order, the Houjin soldiers really changed their attack direction and began to storm the rebel artillery positions north of Banquanshui.

When Luo Xiangqian and Luo Shangwen met, they quickly deployed troops to resist the Houjin soldiers along the bank of Banquan.

It's just that the two battalions are good at long spears, not long-range shooting, so they were passively beaten for a while.

When Li Zicheng saw it, he couldn't help saying: "Now our army's victory or defeat depends entirely on artillery. If the captives take advantage of it, the big thing will be gone!"

He looked at the right wing that was being attacked by Hou Jin, finally gritted his teeth, and ordered: "Command Jiang Yu, be sure to stand firm. I will go to the left wing for help first, and then we can win a big victory!"

After finishing his speech, he led his cavalry to rush towards the Houjin soldiers who were attacking the north bank of Banquanshui.

Now it is none other than Geng Zhongming, one of the "San Shun Kings", who is fighting fiercely with the two battalions of Luo Xiangqian and Luo Shangwen of the Rebel Army.

Geng Zhongming, as one of the "Three Shun Kings", is actually the weakest, far inferior to Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, with only one battalion of [-] troops.

The last time "King Sanshun" fought fiercely with the rebels outside Bao'an City, each was injured, so both Kong Youde and Shang Kexi left a battalion to rest in Fanshan Fort, only Geng Zhongming's soldiers were weak and had no right to speak He had no choice but to lead all his men and horses into battle again.

Originally, the four thousand soldiers and horses under Geng Zhongming's command were also based on the "Western Law" as the authentic method, and they arranged a square formation with spears inside and musketeers at the four corners.

However, after the last time they faced off against the rebels, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi both learned the improved formation of placing the gunners in front and the spearmen in the rear.

Naturally, Geng Zhongming also learned from the example, and he lined up more than a thousand gunners and artillerymen of all sizes in front of the formation, and repeatedly bombarded the rebels on the other side of the river.

It's just that this guy knows what's going on but doesn't know why. He knows the benefits of putting gunners in front of the formation, but he doesn't know the disadvantages of putting gunners in front of the formation.

It doesn't matter if he was careless, he only heard the neighing of horses, and then the intensive sound of hooves.

Geng Zhongming looked in the direction of the rebel army in surprise, and saw a group of cavalry crossing from the other side of Banquan water, and then rushed towards his gunners and artillerymen.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Geng Zhongming's gunners and gunners were elite, but they were rushed by Li Zicheng's cavalry battalion unprepared, how could they resist?
Shoot, it's too late to shoot.

"Quick, put on the gun knife to resist!" Geng Zhongming couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and shouted loudly.

It's just that at this moment, the gunner is almost scared to death, how can there be time to change it?

Even if someone has been replaced, how can an army formation be formed to resist?

It turned out that the gunners under the command of "San Shun King" learned from the Ming army and were equipped with gun knives. When the enemy approached, they could insert the gun knives on the gun guns and use them as short spears.

"Kill!" Li Zicheng took the lead, swiping his tall saber down, until the sharp blade cut into the neck of a musketeer with a "shua", and then a huge head flew up.

With another wave, a head flew up.

Killing is so simple and so enjoyable, Li Zicheng almost couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, he couldn't help shouting: "Kill, kill, let me see who can stop me!"

"Long Spear Formation, Long Spear Formation, come forward and top me!" Geng Zhongming's heart was bleeding when he saw the rebel cavalry rushing over, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, preying on the shivering elite gunmen.

He only has this four thousand capital, and he was born and died with him back then, sold his ancestral country, and took refuge in the younger generation.

Now these people were chopped on the body by Li Zicheng, which hurt his heart.

This is the capital for him to be named "King Huaishun". If he lost his capital, he would be a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out and could only be swallowed up by others.

"Kill!" Just as Li Zicheng led his cavalry galloping back and forth between the gunners and gunners of Houjinhuo, hacking and killing wantonly, the two battalions of Luo Xianggan and Luo Shangwen on the other side of the river knew it early.

The two couldn't help but look at each other, retreating and advancing.

The one who retired was Luo Shangwen's battalion. As a white soldier of Zhang Fengyi's lineage, he was a direct descendant of Zhang Shun. Naturally, he wanted to protect the artillery formation of the rebel army.

And Luo Xiangqian was originally a bidder under Zhu Xieyuan of the Zuozhu Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty. He first rebelled against Chongming and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and later he was judged to surrender.

Although there are other reasons for it, it is not as popular as Luo Shangwenying.

Luo Xiangqian knew that he was in a place of suspicion, so he took the initiative to launch an attack, leaving Luo Shangwen's department alone to continue guarding the artillery positions of the rebel army.

The water of Banquan was originally narrow and shallow, so it was easy to ford. Now Banquan has been filled up by Houjin, leaving only shallow water and silt, which makes it easier to cross the river.

Immediately, Luo Xiang made a group of people and stepped on the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and rushed to the other side of the river.
