Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 361
Yulin Road, Yansui Town, Qingjian County.Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong and other peasant rebels with tens of thousands of people were blocked by [-] officers and soldiers, and it was difficult to break out of the encirclement.These tens of thousands of peasant rebels have tens of thousands of mouths, and the peasants who are already short of food are trapped in this remote place, almost to the point where everyone cannibalize each other.

Early in the morning, Hong Chengchou urged the Ming army to launch an attack on the rebels, driving the peasant rebels to the brink of madness.

"Damn it, Hong Chengchou, the bloody lackey of the court, why is he attacking so fiercely this time, he wants to drive us all to death." Cao Cao and Luo Rucai watched his subordinates wailing all over the field, feeling chills in his heart.

As he said, the officers and soldiers in northern Shaanxi used all their strengths in this campaign, as if they were going to drive them all to death.Whether it is Hong Chengchou's Qin soldiers, or the frontier defenders brought by Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu, they are all fundamentally different from the guards in Guannei and other guards. At least they are all warriors who need to fight frequently.

"Our Northern Shaanxi Rebel Army is going to be cold this time, and Li Zicheng, the only one who can save us, just sits on the sidelines and does nothing. It is really abominable. If I, Zhang Xianzhong, die here, even if I am a ghost, I will not let him go." Zhang Xianzhong with blood and sweat on his forehead said resentfully.

"It's Hong Chengchou and the officers and soldiers who want to destroy us, so what have we to do with the general? Speaking of which, we didn't join hands with the officers and soldiers to fight to the death in Xi'an according to what he said. We may still defeat the officers and soldiers by taking advantage of the high morale."

"King Chuang, you are an afterthought. He will be your subordinate. As King Chuang, you should listen to his orders and order him not to move." Luo Rucai laughed.

"It's not Luo Ru's turn to intervene in the affairs of our unit!" Gao Yingxiang said, "You were the most vocal back then."

"I'm telling the truth. Li Zicheng's ideas are not necessarily the best, and in the past two years we have made him stand out in the rebel army. I am afraid that after a long time, you and I will have to follow his example!" Luo Rucai Not convinced.

Several leaders of the rebel army argued and chattered endlessly about it.

When these rebel leaders were arguing, Hong Chengchou was pressing these rebel leaders step by step according to the plan, shrinking the encirclement little by little.He had to kill the leaders of the rebel troops in northern Shaanxi before Li Zicheng made up his mind to support them.

The prestige of Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others in northern Shaanxi and Heluo is higher than that of Li Zicheng, and although the army is just a bunch of rioters, their influence is still incomparable to the current Li Zicheng.Eliminating them in advance is equivalent to isolating Li Zicheng.

"Urgent report! General Li Zicheng led the Musketeer Battalion to the south to help, and defeated Cao Wenzhao's troops thirty miles away. General Cao Wenzhao retreated ten miles in a row!"

"Urgent report! Several battalions of the thieves in the 36th Battalion have defected to General Li Zicheng, and responded to Li Zicheng's arrangement, roundabout and outflank our rear, trying to cut off our army's food road!"

"Urgent report! Zuo Liangyu's department has been restrained by the bandit army, so we must be careful to guard against the counterattack of the bandit army!"

When Hong Chengchou was preparing to break through the surrounded rebel defense line in one go, urgent documents from the left and right wings arrived like snowflakes.

"This guy, Li Zicheng, actually seized the best opportunity. This time, his grand plan to quickly wipe out the bandit army in northern Shaanxi has been shattered." Hong Chengchou looked sad, and sighed faintly. path-breaker."

The Ming army's barracks sounded golden, and the soldiers who were fighting bloody ahead heard the signal to withdraw their troops. They were a little surprised and puzzled at first, but they still reluctantly withdrew from the captured positions.

"The officers and soldiers have retreated, the officers and soldiers have retreated!" The peasant volunteers who were hanged and beaten by the soldiers led by Hong Chengchou and supported only by their numerical advantages were very excited when they saw the officers and soldiers receding like a tide, as if they had escaped from death.

"Why are the officers and soldiers retreating? Could it be that they are rushing into the future?!" The surrounded peasant rebel army had only this thought in their minds.

"It must be Li Zicheng." Gao Yingxiang said.

Except for general Li Zicheng, no one in northern Shaanxi could force Hong Chengchou to retreat at the critical moment of the storm.

Sure enough, after Hong Chengchou withdrew his troops, the black flag of the Chuangjiang appeared on the horizon, and groups of musketeers marched towards this side!Li Zicheng's Musketeer Battalion is nothing compared to the lazy ordinary peasant rebels.

"Sure enough, it's Li Zicheng." Luo Ru, who didn't get along with Li Zicheng recently, saw that it was really Li Zicheng who forced Hong Chengchou back, and his expression was very complicated.

"Look, General Chuang didn't come in our direction, he led the troops to attack Hong Chengchou!"

"No way?! He only has 3000 people, dare to take the initiative to attack Hong Chengchou's [-] Ming army?! Is he impatient?!"

"Hong Chengchou is the governor of the three sides of the Ming Dynasty. He has made great achievements in the past two years. Li Zicheng may not be able to please him a few times. Is Li Zicheng jealous this time?"

"Crazy, really crazy!" Zhang Xianzhong saw that Li Zicheng's musket battalion was marching in the direction of Hong Chengchou's shrinking forces in an orderly manner, as if he wanted to take the initiative to fight Hong Chengchou head-on.

The leaders of the besieged rebel army walked to the high ground one after another, looking down at the battle between Li Zicheng and Hong Chengchou who didn't know which string was pulled.

Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang saw that Li Zicheng's Musketeer Battalion, who had recharged his energy and hadn't participated in the war much, was marching in an orderly manner. It was not at all like their mud-legged troops, and he felt very complicated.After all, King Chuang is his subordinate, but the strength of his subordinates obviously surpassed him.

"The Musketeer Battalion is attacking!" Someone shouted, and almost everyone's eyes were on the battlefield.

I saw Li Zicheng holding his sword high, and rows of musketeers launched an attack on Hong Chengchou's huge army of 2 people who had no time to retreat. Flames splashed, white smoke rose, and shells roared on his head!

The Ming army rarely encountered such intense artillery fire, but under the effective command of Hong Chengchou, they were still able to persevere.

However, when Li Zicheng's general Zhang Yuan led the [-] Musketeers who had been hiding and several peasant troops who had taken refuge in them, they appeared on the other side of the Ming army. A fiasco like Waterloo.

"No way...impossible..." Luo Rucai and the others who were watching from the sidelines were shocked and had goosebumps all over their bodies.

The New Peasant Army headed by Li Zicheng broke through the three lines of defense set up by Hong Chengchou one after another, and launched five consecutive charges, and finally completely defeated the main force of the Ming army in Qinchuan led by Hong Chengchou!Such terrifying force is comparable to the Overlord of Chu who broke the siege of the giant deer!
