Chapter 702 The Battle of Xiangkou Pass

Since Zhu Cixuan went to fight against the enemy, the 12th Regiment Battalion did not seem to have encountered any major setbacks. He did not kill himself and did not serve the country. Except for Zhu Cixuan who encountered setbacks in Qi County at the beginning, the Ming army has been very smooth at present.

This comes from Zhu Cilang's cautiousness, from the beginning when he was careless and underestimated the enemy, he suffered a great loss. Until now, Zhu Cilang is cautious everywhere and humbly listens to the opinions of his generals. As long as it is an opinion that is beneficial to him, Zhu Cilang humbly adopts it.

At Xiangkou Pass, the rising sun was passing through the mist, and the bandits under the mist finally felt a stern warmth.

However, the warmth on one's body could not drive away the coldness in the heart. Since these bandits followed Li Zicheng, they did live a life of doing whatever they wanted. From the beginning to the numbness later.

They robbed, killed people, and snatched things that originally belonged to others into their own hands. Many of them became the kind of people they once hated the most. The government had bullied the people before, and the people were in dire straits.

Until they joined Li Zicheng's army, they soon became such people. Wherever the bandits passed, the city was often empty.

After all, they have to pay it back. Their price has come. After the mist has dissipated, the officers and soldiers who have prepared their troops.

The soldiers of the 12th Regiment Battalion were also arranged in a word, and the two sides finally began a decisive battle on the battlefield with relatively fairness. Both sides of the enemy and us formed a formation, but Li Zicheng did not escape, and Zhu Cixuan did not chase him.

Because Li Zicheng had no choice but to escape at this time, he could only give it a try.

At this time, Zhu Cixuan led his general Li Zicheng and the brigade. He did not encircle the troops, but chose to surround Li Zicheng, intending to wipe out the bandits.

The scale of this battle was unprecedented. Li Zicheng was still full of energy when he rode his horse. Zhu Cilang on the opposite side rode his Feiyunzhi like him. The two stared at each other, drawing their swords at almost the same time: "Kill!"

In such a large army, it is no longer important to have any tactics or deployments. It is just right to boost morale and rush and kill.

In Li Zicheng's subconscious mind, there are four words: Just do it.

Is Li Zicheng really so brainless when fighting in history?

It's really so brainless, so why did he even enter Beijing and destroy the Ming Dynasty?

That was because the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by itself. There was no Li Zicheng or Zhang Zicheng. Li Zicheng was just following the will of heaven and became the last person to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

Li Zicheng's tactics were actually very trash and were defeated by the Ming army many times. At the worst, there were only a dozen people left by his side. However, the Ming Dynasty's slutty operation made Li Zicheng make a comeback again and again.

After Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass, Li Zicheng was defeated by a stone with the bandits. Could it be that Li Zicheng was really useless?

In fact, it is not the case. Even if it is garbage, it is tempered in war. During the confrontation with the Ming army, Li Zicheng also learned a lot of experience.

For example, later, the army focused on military training. During the war, the army had to assess cavalry and shooting, from morning to evening, and used assessment to promote soldiers' training of martial arts. At the time of the battle, the cavalry was listed as the three levels, called "Three Walls", and they could not be reckless. If they were unable to win, the cavalry pretended to be defeated, the infantry refused to fight, and the cavalry went around the enemy's back or flanks to siege to win. When siege, three shifts day and night, taking turns to surround them, and the infantry strong bows.

, Bird guns were fired continuously, so that the guardians did not dare to look outside. Then they either used cloud ladders and cauldrons to climb the city, or people wore iron helmets, covered iron clothes, and used tools such as axes and cones to turn to dig the city bricks, leaving a dirt pillar in three or five steps, and gradually went deeper. When the pillar collapsed, they could be tied to the earth pillar with thick ropes, and everyone pulled them together, the pillar collapsed, or filled them with gunpowder, leads out, the medicine exploded, and the city collapsed, and the army attacked. It is said in history that Li Zicheng was good at attacking and did not use ancient methods.

He also constantly summarized his experience. In terms of the combat methods of seizing Kaifeng, Li Zicheng has been constantly summing up his experience.

In addition, the Ming army was really vulnerable, Li Zicheng gradually took the initiative in the battlefield.

However, Li Zicheng's tactics are too old-fashioned compared to Zhu Cixuan. In these decisive battles in Xiangkou Pass, Li Zicheng is still a human-sea tactic that remains unchanged for thousands of years. This tactic cannot be said to be bad, but when facing enemies that are stronger than him, the disadvantages are fully revealed.

Zhu Cixuan adopted a tactic of combining infantry and cavalry, using Mongolian cavalry tactics that swept across Europe and Asia, combining methods suitable for the Ming army. The 12th Regiment Battalion, the cavalry surrounded the left and right wings, and the infantry was held in the middle.

Li Zicheng arranged the long snake formation, which was his proud work against officers and soldiers. Unfortunately, Zhu Cilang quickly understood his weaknesses.

"Du Zhongren, Wang Yuwei, Kong Xiangxin fight for the right wing, Zhan Yunpeng, Linghu Yunlong, you two lead the Tiger Ben Army to form a weak array and the bandits' team at the weak end, wait for the opportunity to move, and do not attack easily. The rest will be put on the formation for me."

Xiangkou Pass is almost a replica of Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui on a stone. A stone battle. According to the agreement between the Qing Dynasty and Wu, Wu Sangui first led his troops to fight head-on by Li Zicheng's army. When the battle was at its most tense moment, the Qing army suddenly went out from behind the formation and launched a fierce attack on the Li army. Li Zicheng was unprepared for the Qing army to enter the pass in advance. In addition, the morale of Li army was in a state of decline again. Although he fought desperately, he could not resist the joint attack of the Wu army. Liu Zongmin suffered serious losses, and Liu Zongmin was injured, and tens of thousands of people died in the peasant army. After the peasant army lost, Li Zicheng was forced to lead the rest of the people to go west.

However, Zhu Cixuan ordered the troops of the two battalions Wang Yuwei, the governor of Yangwei Camp, and Kong Xiangxin, the governor of Zhenwei Camp, and Du Zhongren's troops and Li Zicheng head-on. This is extremely dangerous. Once they cannot withstand Li Zicheng's attack, Zhu Cixuan is likely to face a big defeat.

But Zhu Ciyang believed them. Judging from the results of the fight against the enemy along the way, in addition to the Huben Camp, the 12th Regiment Battalion belonged to Wang Yuwei's Yangwei Camp and Kong Xiangxin's Zhenwei Camp had the strongest combat effectiveness.

This has a lot to do with their generals. Wang Yuwei and Kong Xiangxin are enough to be among the top generals in any era.

As for Du Zhongren, Zhu Cilang has always been optimistic about him. His navy was temporarily changed to infantry and participated in the battle of encirclement and annihilation of Xiangkou Pass.

As soon as the two sides fought, their eyes were red.

The bandits knew that they would not fight a bloody path, but only waiting for them was the fate of destruction. The Ming army officers and soldiers pursued each other relentlessly, and the bandits all had the courage to burn their boats.

Kong Xiangxin and the others also knew that if they could not withstand the attacks of the bandits, the prince's plan to wipe out the bandits would go bankrupt. Therefore, all three of them sacrificed their lives, and none of the officers and soldiers retreated.
