Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 512 Li Zicheng breaks out (6)

At this time, Yuan Shu, the deputy general of the southern camp, and Zhang Huan, the deputy generals of the northern camp, were ordered by the main generals Chen Qianfu and Ma Wannian to come to King Qin each with a team. They didn't know that someone had robbed the camp until they got the report. They were worried about His Majesty's safety, so the two chief generals acted immediately, and each took a team to let the deputy general lead the team to King Qin. When the second general arrived, the battle here was basically It's over, but the battle in West City is in full swing.

The second general came to salute Zhu Yousong, and Zhu Yousong immediately recognized Li Zicheng's intentions. Seeing that the second general was in good shape, he immediately sent an order for the second general to take his troops to support the west city. According to the plan, the focus of using troops must be in Xicheng, and they must have escaped in the direction of Shanzhou to break out of the siege.

At this time, the city must be empty. Zhu Yousong immediately delivered an order to gather soldiers from the South Camp, the North Camp, and the East Camp to attack the city immediately.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Ming army also wondered, what Li Zicheng did tonight was a little outrageous, he was about to abandon the city and break out of the siege less than a day after they were trapped, since he didn't want to stick to the city and fight to the death with the Ming army, why didn't he escape earlier?This Li Zicheng's behavior is really unpredictable. For a while, these generals have whatever they think.

Zhu Yousong first sent away the two generals, and temporarily handed over the affairs of the camp to the eunuchs Li Guofu, Li Quan, Liu Chunhong, and Fang Dongxu to take care of them. Then he cleaned up the battlefield and guarded the prisoners, and handed over the specific task of attacking the city. He gave it to Ma Jinhua and He Xuanjiao, but he was worried about the west city, so he personally brought a team to the west city. In addition to the [-] horse team, there was also Zhao Fu's [-] musketeers battalion.

Zhu Yousong walked around the south city and rushed to the west city. As soon as he left the east city, the three-sided siege team rushed towards Luoyang City with shouts. Countless torches and the fire in the city turned the whole sky red.

As Zhu Yousong flew towards the west city, he thought, massacring the city when entering the city, setting fire to the city before leaving, the behavior of the Dashun army is no different from that of bandits, judging from this incident alone, Li Zicheng will not succeed.Take a look at what he has done in Beijing, lax military discipline, tortured officials to subsidize wages, robbed troops, tortured them indiscriminately, and lost the hearts of the people.

Now what did he do in Luoyang, first massacre the city and then set fire to it, Li Zicheng's leader said it was a peasant army, but in fact it was just a motley mob. Emperor Chongzhen did not wrong them when he called them thieves. They were forced to flee They set it on fire when they left Beijing, and now they still set it on fire when they fled in Luoyang. The thieves are everywhere with them. He, Li Zicheng, who is undefeated? !

Taking a step back, if there is no Wu Sangui, there will be Zhang Sangui, Li Sangui and other Sanguis. In addition, if the Dashun army won the battle of stones and the Tartars failed to enter the customs, there will be a battle of bricks and a battle of pools The Tatars were still able to enter the customs, which means that this seemingly accidental event contained an inevitable historical trend, that is, Li Zicheng's country must be difficult to sit for a long time.

Since ancient times, it has been easy to fight the country, but difficult to sit on the country.That's why those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who don't win the hearts of the people. Even if they win the world by chance with a strong army for a while, it will be difficult for this country to sit for a long time. There are countless such evidences in history, and those short-lived dynasties are probably like this. He Li Zicheng No matter how capable you are, you can't escape this rule.

While running, Zhu Yousong was thinking wildly on the horse.

His gaze temporarily shifted to West City.

The reason why Li Zicheng set fire to the last troops leaving the city was of course his own ideas. One was that Zhu Yousong would be left in ruins if he couldn’t leave like this. When Li Zijun was driven out of Beijing, Li Zicheng had exactly the same mentality.Second, this is also his breakout strategy, that is, once he goes there, he will never return, he will not leave a way out for himself, and he will cut off the thoughts of his soldiers, including himself, and the only way forward is to kill the enemy and break through. , This is the same as breaking the boat and fighting with one's back. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.

From this point of view, Li Zicheng is still a strategist or military strategist.

The west city was opened wide, and [-] troops poured out of the city. The horse team was in front, the infantry was behind, and the food, grass and luggage were waiting in the middle.

The two generals Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu who cleared the way in front, Gao Yigong and Liu Tichun, the generals in charge of the break, Li Laiheng on the left of Li Zicheng, Bai Minghe on the right, Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance was protected among.The captain of the guard, Shuangxi, was carrying two knives, and the armored guards with escorts followed Li Zicheng closely.

Unlike the situation when the Dashun Army in Dongying stole the camp and robbed the village, Li Zicheng's brigade had just rushed through the moat for a hundred meters, when there was movement in the camp, countless torches suddenly lit up, and countless The archers fired their bows at the surging Dashun army.

This is because Zhu Yousong in the east of the city, in order to deceive those who stole the camp and robbed the village, passed an order to withdraw the bow and arrow, an important defensive process, after getting the report, but it was different in the west city.The three main generals are Huimei Huiying and Zhang Nai. After receiving the order, they waited in full force and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Afraid that the enemy would come to steal the camp tonight, the three of them decided to lead the troops to patrol the camp, but they couldn't stay up all night, so they had to divide the night into the first half of the night and the second half of the night, with Zhang Nai and his wife in charge of the front and rear. In the middle of the night, Huimei was in charge of the second half of the night.

Zhang Nai and his wife personally inspected the camp twice in the first half of the night, and found nothing abnormal. At the third watch, Huimei was supposed to take over, but the couple thought that although Huimei was their god-sister, she was no longer what she used to be. Now, she is Zhu Yousong's concubine, her status is very different. The couple plan to take turns patrolling the camp in the middle of the night and stay until dawn. If there is no special matter, Huimei will not be disturbed to rest.

Just at this moment, there was a loud shout of killing from Dongcheng, and they knew something must have happened to Dongcheng, so they hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and when the time was short, the one who reported the incident came back, and sure enough, someone in Dongying stole the camp and robbed the village. When it was reported that Huimei had mobilized people to support Dongying King Qin, another person came to report that the gate of the west city was quietly opened, and countless Dashun troops left the city without torches, and it seemed that they also came to steal the camp and rob the village.

Simultaneously stealing camps from two directions was a bit unexpected. The matter might not be that simple. The couple immediately gathered their troops and sent a letter to Huimei. They dared not hide this matter.

At the right time, the Dashun army came over with howls, and the couple ordered their subordinates to light torches and shoot arrows!

For a moment, arrows filled the night sky like migratory locusts.The soldiers of the Dashun Army who rushed to the front fell off their horses one after another, falling down in rows and batches...
