Chapter 105: The Lingbo Weibu of Zuo Paopao

In fact, Li Si really underestimated Zuo Liangyu.

This general who suppressed the thief has experienced many battles. In the past ten years of starting a battle with the peasant army, all the big and small have definitely gone up one hundred times.

It is not appropriate to say that Zuo Liangyu's left side has lost in every battle. To be precise, Zuo Liangyu has defeated Zhang Xianzhong once, just once.

It was not until the thief was put down and the general fought against Li Zicheng, the thief leader, that he truly achieved his reputation as a defeated general.

Not to mention the distance, in the past few years, the fierce battles in Henan were fought in Henan, and the total force was often over one million, and the battlefield was nearly a thousand miles away. There were battles of different scales every day. However, this general who defeated the thief had never won a single battle, which was really incredible to the extreme.

The world knows what kind of virtue is the crusade army. No one thinks the crusade army is a powerful soldier.

It's just a mob who can't eat enough. To put it bluntly, it's a bunch of hungry farmers.

But these mobs could beat Zuo Liangyu to the point of running away every time, and even made dumplings twice in the left army. Zuo Liangyu could only run away in a mess.

Looking at the entire late Ming Dynasty, especially after the twelve years of Chongzhen, except for the Guanning Army, which had accumulated money, was still quite combat-effective, the other Ming official troops had no combat power at all.

There are many reasons for this phenomenon, but it is an ironic fact that the official army has no combat effectiveness.

In the protracted battle between the official army and the peasant army, there were almost no classic battles worthy of praise, and no strong army of one or two famous generals appeared.

The battle between the official army and various peasant armies is simply about competing for who is weaker.

Although Zuo Liangyu was defeated repeatedly, he was not useless.

What the general who suppresses thieves is most praised by the world is his ability to slip away from his feet.

The left army was defeated by Li Zicheng countless times, and even surrounded twice, but Zuo Liangyu successfully escaped every time. The most amazing thing is that after every defeat, Zuo Liangyu was able to quickly regroup and grow stronger quickly.

When it comes to the ability to escape, if the general Zuo Liangyu, who was defeated and beaten, would no one in the Ming Dynasty dare to recognize the first place.

Another point is that Zuo Liangyu robbed the people even more than Li Chuang. Not only did he rob the first two sieges to encircle the people, but his indiscriminate killing of innocent people and being lewd and vicious. The people's fear of the left is even more than that of the invaders.

In this era, officials and thieves are already unable to distinguish.

When the thief comes, the people suffer.

When officials come, the people will suffer even more.

Only rebellion.

Because of Li Chuang's fear, Zuo Liangyu always tried every means to hide from the crusade, which formed a situation of "breaking into the left and retreating".

After the defeat in Henan, Zuo Liangyu ran to Hubei.

After the rebel army arrived in Hubei, the left army looted the place and then shrank its troops and retreated to Wuchang without leaving.

Because Zuo Liangyu's army is comparable to locusts, the indiscriminate killing and obscene behavior has caused a lot of public grievances. Wherever the forces in the left side can reach, the thieves will rise and fall everywhere.

Since the Dead Army entered the Dabie Mountains, it has been committed to opening a channel connecting the Jianghuai Mountains, and lacks enough attention to the Shanyin area in the western lunar area. Until the left army dispatched troops to clear the bandits and bandits in the local area, especially the Huangzhou area, which is on the verge of the sphere of influence of the Dead Army.

Huangzhou was once the scope of the rebel army, but later, because the left-wing troops were in Wuchang, it became a situation of bandits and rebels.

The territory under Huangzhou Prefecture is not very wide, with only a few small counties such as Macheng and Luotian. Because it is close to the Yangtze River, it is rich in bamboo, tung oil, lacquerware and other objects, which are also rare places for prosperity in Hubei.

The goal of the army to die is here, with the focus on the riverside area of ​​Huangzhou.

"Uncle Fourth, why don't you let me go?" Lu Jian was a real young man, and he was a little confused about Li Si's lack of his general this time.

Whether it is combat experience or bloody courage in the face of the battle, Lu Jian believed that he would not lose to others, but no matter how he asked for a fight, he was rejected by Li Si.

"It's not just that you won't let you go, but Ding Yi and the others didn't go." This time, the fight against Huangzhou, only a small number of troops were dispatched to the death army, most of the veterans stayed at the base, and most of the ones sent out were new soldiers.

"There are too many new recruits, don't worry, IV uncle? What if I can't defeat Huangzhou?"

"There are many new recruits, and you always have to give them a chance to train. With our veterans as flag officials, we just treat it as training. And with your father, the old army commander, I feel relieved." Li Si took out the tobacco pot from his waist and pressed the chaotic tobacco leaves. Lu Jian also took the opportunity to dig hard in Uncle Si's cigarette bag a few times, and sucked the clouds and blew the mist with Li Si.

"This time, it's a match between inside and outside. There is an old charlatan who is a supporter. If your father can't beat the move like this, he can be ashamed to death." The smoke penetrated his lungs, and it was comfortable and comfortable.

Chaoyan is Chaoyan, which is a hundred times stronger than the earth smoke made by Lu Bingyin.

"Besides, we are not going to attack a strong city fortress like Huangzhou, but at most we are going to circle the circle."

"What? Don't you hit Huangzhou?" Lu Jian's eyes widened and stuffed his eyes: "Why?"

In everyone's consciousness, the goal of the Death Army's operation this time is definitely to attack Huangzhou City.

As the prefecture of Huangzhou Prefecture, Huangzhou City is definitely the most strategically valuable goal of the entire Huangzhou Prefecture.

"Jian'er, you don't know a lot of things yet, and you don't understand a lot of truths yet, but you will understand it soon."

The strategic direction of the army to die has always been to the east, and opening a channel connecting the Jianghuai River is something that Li Si has been emphasizing and has been doing.

This is easy to understand. The wealthy Jiangnan, especially Nanjing, is located in the east. No matter what Li Si wants to do, his eyes will inevitably be near Nanjing.

But this time, Li Si was abnormal and suddenly waved his troops to sweep Huangzhou in the west without any signs, which made many people confused.

The army to die is about to face a big battle, which is something that many people can see. From the recent analysis of Li Si's continuous expansion of his military equipment, this will be an unprecedented battle.

Perhaps the fourth uncle attacked the Huangzhou area to clear his worries about the upcoming war in the future, Lu Jian could only think of this level.

Clear your worries?

Li Si never thought about this question seriously.

In this chaotic era, it is almost impossible to complete without worries. The enemy that Li Si will always beat the most is foreign tribe, and there will be no fewer enemies behind him.

Which of the stupid and incompetent courts, the warlords of their own personalities, and the peasant army running around can be easily cleaned up?

The only thing that can be done is to concentrate all the power in your hands and gamble again and again.

This time, Li Si used the army to collect as many chips as possible, and then bet all on the big bet in Yangzhou...

Yangzhou, a shocking gamble.

If you win, it will be a peerless show with cheers.

If you lose, you will die without a burial place.
