Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Ji Li Zicheng really dared to come back, but he didn't come back to die, but came to get Sun Chuanting's head.

In the original history, Sun Chuanting defeated Li Zicheng with a small force and defeated Li Zicheng. When he was cleaning the battlefield happily, Li Zicheng suddenly killed a carbine. The victory of the army turned into a disastrous defeat. Sun Chuanting himself committed suicide.

When Li Zicheng saw that the situation was not good, he immediately led his men to run away. After running for seven or eight miles, he found that the officers and soldiers were not behind him and were chasing him. He was relieved immediately.

Although he was angry and depressed, he could only gather his energy and collect the scattered troops first. This was his capital to compete with Emperor Chongzhen for the world. The more people he gathered, the greater his capital.

As more troops were gathered, his confidence increased, and the movements of the officers and soldiers became more accurate.

According to reports from the last group of subordinates who fled, the officers and soldiers only pursued them for two or three miles before stopping, and they were all busy grabbing the spoils of war.

Speaking of trophies, Li Zicheng felt a heartache. All kinds of military supplies needed by hundreds of thousands of troops were piled up in the military camp. That was most of the belongings he had plundered for a long time. Now they are all trophies for the army. Who wouldn't feel pain in his heart? ?

"King Chuang, do you want to take advantage of the officers and soldiers who are busy snatching the spoils and are unprepared to suddenly kill someone with a carbine?" Niu Jinxing came to his side and whispered.

"Is this plan feasible?" Li Zicheng's eyes lit up. To be honest, he was really not reconciled to losing to the army in this battle.

In the first battle of Zhuxian Town, he outnumbered and defeated Sun Chuanting even though the conditions were much worse than now. In this battle, he not only had an advantage in strength, but also had much better weapons and equipment than before, yet he was defeated. , he really couldn’t figure it out.

Niu Jinxing's proposal moved him, but he still had some hesitation. After all, he had just lost the battle. He had only gathered more than 100,000 troops, and the soldiers were exhausted and had low morale. Under such circumstances, how could they still fight? ?

"It's feasible." Niu Jinxing nodded. Although he couldn't guarantee it 100%, he at least had a good chance of winning.

First of all, the officers and soldiers would never have thought that the rebels would dare to kill a carbine. This is called surprise and caught the officers and soldiers by surprise.

Secondly, the officers and soldiers are now busy grabbing the spoils of war, and the troops are all in chaos. It is difficult to gather them in a short time, let alone form a formation to resist.

Furthermore, the cold winter is approaching. If there are not enough cold-proof materials, it will be difficult for the rebels to survive this winter. Many people will freeze to death and the army will collapse without a fight. Instead of doing this, why not take a gamble?

As for morale, you only need to explain the situation to the soldiers, let them understand their current situation, arouse their fighting spirit, and fight hard, and the low morale can be improved in an instant.

"Okay, if we win this battle, the military advisor will be credited with the first achievement." Li Zicheng said happily. Niu Jinxing's words really moved him and made him determined to take a big gamble.

If you win the bet, you will get all the land in Henan. If you lose the bet, you will run away at worst. Can it be as miserable as before, with only eighteen riders left to go deep into the mountains and old forests?

Li Zicheng originally had an army of more than 500,000 people. After the defeat, he only gathered 150,000 to 156,000 people. Except for those who died in battle or were taken prisoner, most of them ran away. Maybe most of them will run home, and a small number will Come back, but now I can't wait any longer, hundreds of thousands of troops are worthy of a battle.

Inspired by Li Zicheng, the morale of hundreds of thousands of rebels was inspired and they returned to the battlefield in mighty force.

The battlefield was once filled with densely packed and chaotic officers and soldiers, who were all busy fighting for the spoils of war, whether it was broken swords, damaged armor, or even clothes and shoes that were made of slightly better materials and were stained with blood. Don't let it go.

Those with faster hands will grab more, while those with slower hands will grab less. In order to compete for a piece of loot, there will even be fights. If everyone is not busy fighting for the loot, it is very likely that there will be group fights between friendly forces, or even sword fights. event.

Everyone was busy scrambling for the loot, especially after entering the rebel camp. The huge amount of military supplies piled up in the back camp was even more crazy. Gao Jie, Hu Dawei, and Zuo Liangyu each sent their trusted followers to guard them and prohibited soldiers from looting. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy.

The three chief military officers had already discussed privately before the war. No one could monopolize these important military supplies. They were divided into several parts. Governor Sun had one share, and they each had one share. The court needed to take care of it, and at least two of them were needed. Three or more servings.

This is what officialdom is like, hello, me, everyone, hello, that's what's really good. Eating alone may be fat and satisfying, but you won't get far, and you will die ugly in the future.

Looking at the mountains of military supplies, the three chief military officers all grinned widely.

"Hey, did you hear the roar of killing coming from somewhere?"
