Start a Ming Dynasty plane

The sneak attack on the grain transportation team was just the beginning of Li Zicheng's tentative attempts. After Luo Rucai failed in this operation, Li Zicheng immediately sent Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, and Tian Wenxiu to lead the headquarters to start a small-scale tentative attack on Sun Chuanting's department.

The result was naturally repelled by Sun Chuanting with all his strength.

And Sun Chuanting's extreme behavior gave Li Zicheng great confidence. You must know that Sun Chuanting didn't care about such small-scale provocations before, but this time, Sun Chuanting seemed to be stepped on the tail, and his behavior was very aggressive.

This allowed Li Zicheng to see Sun Chuanting's guilt. If he wasn't guilty, why would he be here?

As for Sun Chuanting, he was indeed guilty at this time, not only guilty, but also a little anxious, for no other reason. Two points, the first Chongzhen had already issued five imperial edicts to urge Sun Chuanting to attack Luoyang quickly and regain the lost ground.

And one order was more urgent than the other, the first one was polite, but the fifth one almost pointed at his nose and cursed Sun Chuanting for fear of war, telling him to send troops quickly.

This feeling reminded Sun Chuanting of the past, the twelve gold medals urged Yue Fei, and now Chongzhen has given him the fifth imperial decree, and the next one, Chongzhen may really yell at him, and even question himself for not sending troops for a long time, because he is afraid He was defeated and lost his life, but he still had other thoughts, wanting to be a thief.

Such an order was foreseeable, and Sun Chuanting would not allow such an order to be sent to him, because it would be the greatest insult to himself.

But if he really wants to fight, Sun Chuanting can't stand it. The reason is very simple. He can command the Qin army with more than 1 people under his command now, and the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops entangled on the Henan battlefield. It belonged to the leaders of the major armies, such as Yang Sichang's legacy, the general army headed by He Renlong, and they didn't like Sun Chuanting at all.

After finally waiting for Zuo Liangyu to enter Henan, Sun Chuanting immediately sent someone to go to Zuo Liangyu to discuss Henan military affairs. As a result, Zuo Liangyu pretended to be a snake with himself, but on the other hand quietly approached the army to the southeast. This is obvious. They are planning to use the springboard of Henan to escape to the southeast.

As for someone saying that Zuo Liangyu is not afraid that Chongzhen will deal with him if he does this, to be honest, Zuo Liangyu is really not afraid now, as long as it is not a real rebellion, Chongzhen will not have time to supervise him?

So Zuo Liangyu has learned a truth over the years, that is to hold on to the waves, to be a coward, to be a coward, face or something, it doesn't matter, when the world is in chaos, any face is rubbish, the most important thing What is important is strength, the strength to rule the world.

It has not been a day or two since Zuo Liangyu wanted to separatize the world. He had waited a full year for this goal. If he hadn't been controlled by Li Chaosheng in Lantian, he might have formed a separatist regime in the local area by this time.

It's not so much that he has seen Lantian, but rather that Lantian has hindered his development. Now that he is well, liberated, and ran out of Lantian, he is naturally excited and wants to go to Jiangnan, the land he has long been optimistic about.

It's a pity that I was transferred to the Henan battlefield, but it doesn't matter, I just continue to accumulate strength.

Moreover, staying in Lantian for the past few years didn't mean I didn't learn anything, at least my temper improved, and I was really used to being a kid in Lantian, so when Sun Chuanting came to him to discuss the Henan military affairs, he He agreed without hesitation, but he secretly led the soldiers to escape, and when He Renlong and other soldiers came to him to isolate Sun Chuanting, he also fully agreed.

In fact, he doesn't help anyone, he doesn't care about the battlefield in Henan, or even the future of Ming Dynasty, he doesn't care, what he cares about is his own prosperity and wealth.

So Zuo Liangyu was just a passer-by on the Henan battlefield, and Sun Chuanting couldn't count on it at all.

Such a situation made Sun Chuanting isolated and helpless. On the other hand, Li Zicheng was also a smart man. Under the advice of the three advisers under his command, he made a very smart choice, that is, to give up He Renlong and other Ming soldiers. Head, attack Sun Chuanting together.

Niu Jinxing analyzed: "The army that can fight in the entire Henan battlefield now is Sun Chuanting's Qin army, especially the old Qin battalion under Sun's command, which is the elite among the elite. If this army can be killed, then Henan is If the sand is scattered, King Chuang will be a trapped dragon ascending to the sky, and this great world will be free to gallop in the future."

"Furthermore, Sun Chuanting is from Lu Xiangsheng's lineage, and He Renlong and other military leaders were all from Yang Sichang's lineage back then. The battle between Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng back then can be said to be quite fierce, leading to serious internal divisions in Ming Dynasty, and this is our opportunity. , now we have an army of 40 in Luoyang City, and the anti-kings from all over the country are also marching into Henan one after another. At present, there are twelve groups of almost 8 troops in Henan. With such a large number of troops, we will start a full-scale war with Ming Dynasty, and the outcome is unknown."

"But King Chuang, if we only fight Sun Chuanting, 40 to [-], no matter how powerful his weapons are, no matter how elite the army is, we can take them down, and if we defeat Sun Chuanting, we can incorporate Sun Chuanting's old Qin camp. Old Qin Camp, we can build our own powerful firearms unit on this basis, and even if we go to war with Lantian one day, we won't necessarily lose!"

After hearing Niu Jinxing's strategy, Li Zicheng readily agreed, and on September [-], he launched an all-out attack on Sun Chuanting's department.

After Sun Chuanting's troops entered Henan, they had been stationed in Xin'an County, and Li Zicheng was worthy of being a generation of heroes. When he did things, he was generous. He sent 20 troops to attack Xin'an County that day.

Xin'an County was in a hurry, and Sun Chuanting personally went up to the city tower to fight against the bandits. For a while, the whole Xin'an County fell into a hell of flesh and blood.

After repelling Li Zicheng's eighth attack, Sun Chuanting's Qin army had suffered more than half of the casualties. Except that the old Qin battalion had slightly fewer deaths, with only more than 700 dead, and the new battalion formed by Sun Chuanting from Hubei basically suffered more than [-]% casualties. The entire Xin'an County was filled with a layer of death.

Even if the elite among the elite were besieged by an army of 20, they would probably fall into deep despair.

But in this despair, a group of men in black stood at the foot of Xin'an County and looked at Li Zicheng's army receding like a tide in the distance, saying: "How many times is this?"

The lead, a young man who was slightly thin but with stern eyes, asked, and after hearing this, the people on the side said: "Minister, this is the eighth time."

"Tiger Wolf, I'm Qin Jun, but such resistance is meaningless, right, what about Li Dewei?"

Hearing this, he said: "Li Dewei went to the city wall with Sun Chuanting. He said that although he is from Lantian, he has followed Sun Chuanting for so many years, and he still admires him as a person, so he doesn't want Sun Chuanting to have trouble, so he has to accompany him. , to protect Sun Chuanting."

Shi Xiaolei heard the words: "Sun Chuanting is indeed a respectable person, but unfortunately he is too stubborn, by the way, how much gunpowder is there in Sun Chuanting's camp?"

"Minister Qi, it's all gone. The next time Li Zicheng comes to attack, he can only rely on hand-to-hand combat!"

"Melee combat, the casualties are too heavy, we can't continue fighting, there is no need for Xin'an County guards, by the way, where is our cavalry regiment?"

The humanity of the investigation department at the side said: "I have passed Yima County, and I can reach Xin'an County before dark."

"Well, let's go ahead and tell them to hurry up. I'm afraid that Sun Chuanting won't be able to hold on anymore. I'll also inform Old Qin Ying that there is nothing to be done or forced to do. Let them go home with us."

"Yes, I will notify Li Dewei."

The investigation department on the side said, Shi Xiaolei nodded, looked at the sun in the sky, and then looked at Li Zicheng's army in the distance, Li Zicheng's army of rogues was like the tide, each time it became stronger, the eighth time was like this, the ninth time The next time I was afraid it would be ruinous, thinking of this, Shi Xiaolei sighed, hoping that Sun Chuanting would not be so pedantic, and drag Qin Jun to be buried with him.

At this time, under the city wall, Sun Chuanting glanced at the black-clothed people standing on the city wall. He knew that these people belonged to the Lantian Investigation Department. And Sun Chuanting shared a certain degree of military intelligence.

These include Li Zicheng's military situation, and the information that the various tribes in Henan turned a blind eye to Sun Chuanting's tribe, and Sun Chuanting also acquiesced to their existence, because it would not work if he didn't acquiesce. After all, the old Qinying was from Lantian, and he was only using it on his behalf. Now that the army's morale is weak, Sun Chuanting sighed and asked the guard behind him, "How much is the loss in this battle?"

The guards were silent for a while and said: "The old Qin battalion suffered 72 casualties, and the recruit battalion suffered 860 casualties!"

Sun Chuanting's expression turned dark when he heard the words: "How many people are there in the old Qin camp?"

The guard said: "There are more than [-] people."

"Where's the boot camp?"

"Less than three thousand, and most of them are wounded soldiers!"

Sun Chuanting's expression changed when he heard the words, and then he sighed and said, "A total of 750 people, and now there are only about [-] people left. More than half of them were killed or injured. It's really hard for everyone."

"How much gunpowder is there now?"

Sun Chuanting asked again, and the guard said: "It's almost used up, and the next time the burglars attack, I'm afraid it will all be a hand-to-hand fight."

Sun Chuanting clenched his fist when he heard the words, followed by looking at the guards and said, "How is the morale of the army?"

The guard paused and said, "Everyone is willing to fight to the death for the governor!"

After hearing this, Li Dewei, who was following Sun Chuanting, snorted disdainfully. Hearing this, the guard yelled angrily: "Li Shoubei, I said that all the soldiers are willing to die for the governor. Is it wrong? Are you afraid?"

Li Dewei glanced at the guard when he heard the words, walked over with a cold snort, pushed the guard away and said, "Recruit son, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this, when I beat Jian slave, you were still like mud Well, go away."

"you!"

Canglang!

The guard was still not convinced, and just about to speak, the guard behind Li Dewei had already pulled out his knife.

The guard's legs trembled in fright, and he almost knelt on the ground.

"Is Li Shoubei unable to bear it anymore and wants to force the palace? Or are you planning to take the head of a certain family to ask your county magistrate for a reward?"

Hearing this, Li Dewei said with a dark face: "Aren't you afraid that Mr. Sun's words will make our old Qin Ying feel cold?"

Sun Chuanting was silent when he heard the words, and Li Dewei said: "Master Sun, let's ask ourselves, since the establishment of our old Qin camp, we have followed you from Shaanxi to Hubei, conquered Shandong, and border towns, but once we retreated, can our old Qin camp do it? A thing that I am sorry to my lord, do you have a clear heart when you say this?"

Sun Chuanting frowned when he heard the words, and another personal guard of Sun Chuanting beside him said: "You are doing this with the permission and support of your county lord. Without your county lord, how could you do this?"

"Hehe, it's true that we have been supported by the county lord until today, but what about you, don't use the food supported by our county lord, don't use the weapons supported by our county lord, and don't use the weapons issued by our county lord Silver, eat our county lord, drink our county lord, spend our county lord's money, and finally complain about our county lord, what are you!"

Li Dewei pointed at Sun Chuanting's guard's nose and cursed at him, but the scolding guard couldn't say a word. What Li Dewei said was correct. Lantian provided a large part of his food and clothing, which Sun Chuanting couldn't say.

The premise of a strong army is to have sufficient logistics supplies. If the logistics point to Ming, you will starve to death. Therefore, Li Chaosheng will give them an extra military supply in order to let these old Qinying people who have silently contributed eat and drink well. , Of course, Sun Chuanting naturally wants to get some of this supply.

At this time, Li Dewei pointed at his nose and scolded everyone, and everyone present was silent. Sun Chuanting looked around and said, "Li Dewei, it's already this time, what do you want to do when you jump out?"

Li Dewei heard the words and said: "Master Sun, I don't want to say anything to disrupt the situation, but there are some things I want to talk to my lord, my lord, now let's put aside the topic of Lantian, don't talk about anything about Lantian, just talk about the current battlefield. May I ask my lord, is my Qin Jun family the only one in Henan in our Daming?"

Sun Chuanting seemed to understand what Li Dewei was going to say, and sighed, "There are 23 troops in Henan in the Ming Dynasty."

"Then let me ask my lord, if Li Zicheng's 20 troops attacked our Qin army, can there be a rescue?"

"No."

"Then I'll ask my lord again, will we have reinforcements for the next battle!"

"will not!"

"Okay, my lord, I'm done asking."

Sun Chuanting looked at Li Dewei and said, "Then tell me your conclusion?"

Li Dewei said: "The army of the Ming Dynasty stands on its own feet on the top of the mountain. The lord is called the governor of Henan, but in fact no one listens to us. The generals and soldiers of the Qin army were all brought out by the lord. We are not afraid of death, and we are willing to die for the country. Is it worth it?"

"We are here to attract the firepower of intruders. Look at what those military leaders in Henan are doing. They protect their lives wisely and seek self-reliance. Only our Qin army guards in Xin'an County are struggling to support them. My lord, why are we defending? Is it here to attract firepower for these moths?"

"It was the case in Shandong back then, and it is the same now. Aren't we the Qin army human? My lord just has the heart to watch the Qin army die here and extinguish the fire? My lord, look at these soldiers who followed you all the way, don't you? Do you want them all to be buried here with you?"

Li Dewei asked Sun Chuanting sharply.
