Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 558
Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of Li Zicheng's battle with Zhu Yousong, two Daxi armies quietly invaded the territory of the original Dashun regime established by Li Zicheng.

One was Feng Shuangli's team, who took advantage of the situation to occupy Hanzhong.The other was Ma Weixing's team, which took the opportunity to occupy Xing'an (now Ankang City, Shaanxi Province).

Both Feng Shuangli and Ma Weixing were generals under the command of His Highness Yuergan, King of the Great West Zhang Xianzhong, and King Ainengqi of Dingbei.

One of the two generals used to be stationed in Bazhou and the other in Taiping. I went to see them a few days ago and saw that Li Zicheng's troops were retreating steadily under the attack of Zhu Yousong's army. In the hands of the Ming army, they took advantage of the fire to rob and sent troops to the north to rob these two places.

After their prince heard about it, he was very happy, and he turned a blind eye on the surface, and Daxi Wang Zhang Xianzhong also pretended not to know.

This is because they know that victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. Regardless of Li Zicheng's defeat all the way now, who can guarantee that Li Zicheng will not have a chance to stand up?

After Li Zicheng was ambushed in Tongguan Nanyuan back then, there were only seventeen riders left. Didn't Xianyu turn around, come out of Shangluo Mountain, sweep the whole of Henan, and then invade Beijing?

What Zhang Xianzhong and Ainengqi are worried about is that if Li Zicheng turns around and beats the Ming army away in the future, and comes to Sichuan to ask them to ask for a place, Zhang Xianzhong really feels short-faced, after all, they are allies , but also relatives.

But then came the news that Li Zicheng offered the city and surrendered to Zhu Yousong. Zhang Xianzhong and the four kings under him didn't believe it at all. Later, it became an established fact that Dashun Kingdom had been destroyed. They thought it was right to grab the territory. It's just that there were too few grabs, and the two armies were ordered to advance north.

It's just that before these two troops went deep north, Zhu Yousong personally led the conquest, and the first to come was Li Zicheng's vanguard battalion. Unexpectedly, seeing the situation in front of him, this General Feng was proud and underestimated the enemy I thought that I overestimated Li Zicheng before, and felt that the Dashun Emperor was nothing special, so I used troops from three directions this night, planning to eat up the 5000-strong vanguard battalion in one fell swoop.

He sent two generals, each commanding 2000 soldiers and horses to outflank from the left and right. Feng Shuangli personally led 5000 soldiers, as the central army, directly approached Li Zicheng's barracks.

But waiting for the three-way army to rush into the Ming army's camp, the camp was empty, and the lights were on in the military tents, but there was no one there.

Only then did Feng Shuangli realize that he had hit the trick, and just as he was about to issue an order to retreat, ambushes were everywhere, surrounded by countless soldiers of the Ming army.

"Fire arrows!"

The Ming army gave an order, and countless archers started shooting arrows at the Daxi army in the encirclement. For a while, the arrows were like locusts, covering the night sky.

The Great Western Army fell down in rows and in pieces, and it was a mess at that time, with people screaming, rushing and trampling each other, causing countless casualties.

Feng Shuangli hurriedly directed his troops to break out of the siege, after more than an hour of charging, it was really not bad, he really broke out.

After running for ten miles, they checked that Mingying was not chasing soldiers. They stopped to take a breath and checked the number of people roughly. When they came, the three-way army had 9000 troops, and more than half of them were lost in this battle.

It was only then that Feng Shuangli realized that Li Zicheng was not someone to be provoked. This battle was too light on the enemy, and after half a night of tossing, those who lost troops would return without success, so they were not discouraged.

Not daring to stop here for a long time, Feng Shuangli gathered the three groups of troops together, and rushed back with more than 4000 remnants of defeated soldiers.

When they got to the city and called for a long time, no one opened the city. When they left the city, they left 1000 troops to defend the city. Could it be that they all fell asleep?After calling for a long time, no one paid any attention, the city was full of black lights, and there was no movement.

Feng Shuangli was about to get angry when suddenly three trumpets sounded from the top of the city.

"Dong Dong, chatter."

After the sound of the cannon, ambushes were everywhere on the top of the city, and countless torches suddenly lit up, shining like daylight.

Under the light of the torches, Feng Shuangli could see clearly that the soldiers on the city were all Ming soldiers, you could tell them from the armored uniforms and the colorless battle flags.

"Well, what's going on?"

Thousands of Daxi soldiers headed by Feng Shuangli

Immediately dumbfounded, they couldn't believe their eyes, it was only two hours since they left the city, did they lose their achievements in just two hours?When did the Ming army enter the city?

While Feng Shuangli and the others were in shock, a general appeared at the top of the city amidst the flames.This man has a bronze face, thick eyebrows and broad eyes, regular facial features, tall head, broad shoulders, wearing a gold helmet, wearing a gold ring armor, a sword hanging from his waist, and a long knife in his hand.

Feng Shuangxi recognized at a glance that this general was Li Zicheng.

At this moment, Li Zicheng laughed loudly at the top of the wall, "I'm sorry, you guys are late."

It turned out that when Feng Shuangxi led 9000 troops out of the city to attack Li Zicheng's vanguard camp, Li Zicheng, who had been ambushing outside the city for a long time, brought 3000 soldiers and horses to swindle the city.

Li Zicheng expected that Feng Shuangli would be fooled, so he laid out an empty city plan in advance, and evacuated all 5000 troops from the camp at night, leaving 2000 troops for the lieutenant, mainly archers, to ambush the Daxi army who came to steal the camp and rob the camp.

The remaining 3000 troops were led by Li Zicheng himself, and quietly lay in ambush outside the city. After Feng Shuangxi's army left the city, Li Zicheng's troops approached quietly.

After Li Zicheng's 3000 troops entered the city, the 3000 Western troops in the city knew that they had been fooled, and it was too late. In a scuffle, [-] well-prepared troops fought against the [-] fooled soldiers. The Great Western Army was at the end of the game, and the battle was over soon.

Li Zicheng's 3000 men had just left the city, and Feng Shuangli came back with the remnants of the defeated army. They never dreamed that even the city was lost now.

It was only then that Feng Shuangli realized how powerful Li Zicheng was, and when he became angry from embarrassment, he pointed at Li Zicheng on the top of the wall with a big knife in his hand and cursed, "What a shameless bastard, regardless of the sworn alliance with our Majesty, let your Emperor Dashun not If you do it, you will lead the way for the faint king, and you will invade the country with your troops, which is a crime that cannot be punished."

Li Zicheng sneered and said: "Feng, do you know that there are shameless words in the world? You took advantage of the fire and robbed me of Li Zicheng's territory. At that time, did you think of the alliance between Daxi and Dashun? Raising troops to violate the border, these words are a shame. Can you say it out loud? Bah!"

"Li Zicheng, it is true that we occupied Hanzhong first, but what about you, you can't beat the faint king Zhu Yousong, you just retreat every defeat, and you surrendered, willing to be the foolish king's minion, you are despised by others, what qualifications do you have to criticize us? ?”

"Emperor Hongguang is the holy lord of all ages. I, Li Zicheng, surrendered and surrendered to the light. This is called knowing the current affairs."

"Bah, whoever knows current affairs is clearly a scum who is greedy for life and afraid of death, treacherous..."

Li Zicheng and Feng Shuangxi went from one city to the next, and the more they spoke, the more violent their words became, and finally they cursed, and all three generations of their ancestors cursed.

Li Zicheng was so angry that he ordered Kaicheng to fight out with his troops.Feng Shuangli also wanted to recapture the city, so he led his troops and Li Zicheng's troops to fight together.

Among the bastards, Li Zicheng and Feng Shuangli encountered each other, and Li Zicheng cut Feng Shuangli off the horse without any three-handed Li Zicheng's Chuangwang Sword.

The main general died without a leader. Thousands of Daxi troops were killed and fled in all directions. The army scattered like birds and beasts.At dawn, Li Zicheng's troops occupied Hanzhong.
