The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 363 Fighting Tianjin Wei ([-])

When Li Zicheng learned the news that Hao Yaoqi's 5-strong army had been destroyed, he was furious, and immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, and turned around to take precautions in the direction of Shanhaiguan.

After discussing with his subordinates and generals for three days, Li Zicheng tried his best to overcome all opinions and decided that the West Route Army from Jinzhou should besiege the capital first.

In terms of the strength of both sides, Li Zicheng's South Route Army has 40 troops, while the Shanjia and Di Qing's two armies add up to less than [-].

There is such a disparity in the strength of the two sides, so Li Zicheng is full of confidence in destroying Jiang's army.

Although the destruction of Hao Yaoqi's 5 horses made Li Zicheng extremely wary of the fighting power of the Jiang family army that he had never met before, but he did not think that the Jiang family army could become his real opponent.

Since Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Xiangyang, all the way to the north, the Ming army troops he encountered either fled at the wind or collapsed at the touch of a touch.therefore.With these consecutive victories, the Dashun army swelled up and down, feeling that they were already the strongest army in the world.

This kind of expansion is more obvious in the upper class of Dashun Kingdom. Everyone believes that Li Zicheng is destined to be the one who will rule the world and become the co-lord of the world.

In Li Zicheng's mind, only Zhang Xianzhong, who occupied Shuzhou, was qualified to be his opponent, but he was only qualified.Speaking of Zhang Xianzhong, he was still the defeated general of Li Zicheng.

Although at this time the southeast, southeast and southwest provinces of Daming had not yet been occupied by the Dashun Army, Li Zicheng did not consider this a big problem at all.

In his strategic conception, as long as the capital is breached by himself and the Emperor of Ming falls into his hands, then the remaining places will be determined soon, and there is no need to attack at all.

Li Zicheng is very clear about the principle of capturing the thief first.

The destruction of Hao Yaoqi's tribe.Although Li Zicheng became vigilant.But he still believed that the root cause of Hao Yaoqi's downfall was that he underestimated the enemy, not because the enemy was too strong.

The information asymmetry between the two sides caused Li Zicheng to overestimate the combat effectiveness of his own army and seriously underestimate the combat effectiveness of Jiang's army.

It stands to reason that for a powerful opponent that suddenly appears, you must fully grasp the opponent's intelligence before sending troops, how many troops the opponent has, who is the leading general, and what is his combat style.The opponent's equipment, morale, the composition of the soldiers, and the opponent's logistics and supplies, these basic information must be clarified.

This isn't just street gangsters fighting in groups just relying on the number of people to rush over to fight.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Everyone knows this sentence from ancient times to the present, but not many people can really do it.Those who can do it are good players, even if they are not famous players.

But now Li Zicheng not only doesn't know himself, but also doesn't know his enemy. The outcome of this battle is actually doomed from the beginning.

Although the Dashun Army claims to have a million troops, in essence they are definitely not an elite army, not even a regular army.

More than half of the million soldiers of the Dashun Army are refugees and families of soldiers of the Dashun Army.

It looks vast and endless, but in fact most people are just farmers who have just put down their hoes and picked up their swords and spears.

They are untrained and do not understand military discipline.When fighting, shout and charge upwards.

If you don't die after a battle, you are considered a veteran.

However, there are less than [-] people who have really experienced battles and have relatively strong combat effectiveness.

Among the 10 horses, 5 horses are regarded as the old battalion soldiers who have followed Li Zicheng in the South and North Wars. This is Li Zicheng's real elite and fighting core.

The number of people fighting has never been the most important factor in determining victory or defeat. On the contrary, sometimes it becomes a burden when there are too many people.

This is in terms of numbers, and then in terms of equipment.

Although the Dashun Army also had a lot of artillery and firecrackers seized from the Ming Army.However, due to the quality problems of these firearms and the difficulty of operation, most of the people in the Dashun Army still use cold weapons.

Moreover, their weapons are of various styles, and there are all kinds of them, and there is no unified standard weapon at all.

Besides the armor, except for the old battalion soldiers of Li Zicheng's direct lineage, most of the soldiers of the Dashun Army did not have armor.

Not to mention the armor, they don't even have uniform uniforms, most of the clothes they wear are stolen.

There are all kinds of clothes, some are wrapped in linen with silk, some are dressed in bright red and green, some are covered with linen clothes, but wear silk hats that have been looted on their heads. Like a group of country singers.

On the other hand, the Jiang family army has a complete range of arms, a well-organized army, strong firepower, and orders and prohibitions. Compared with the Dashun army, the intelligence work is very in place.

Both the intelligence systems of the Black Ice Terrace and the scouts in the army are continuously sending back information about the Dashun Army, so the top leaders of the Jiang Family Army can be said to be well aware of the situation of the Dashun Army.

After discussing with his subordinates for three days, Li Zicheng ordered his wife and younger brother Gao Yi to lead 10 troops to meet Jiang's forward army.

So the confidant general Yuan Zongdi led 8 horses to meet the left army of Jiang's army.

Li Zicheng himself led more than 20 main troops to the rear.

The battlefield chosen by Li Zicheng was on a wasteland fifty miles away from Tianjin Wei.

It is said to be wasteland, but it was originally cultivated land, but because of frequent wars and natural disasters, all the people fled, and these fields were also barren, with weeds growing everywhere, and it looked like a wasteland.

Knowing that the Dashun Army turned around and tried their best to block their side, although Di Qing and Shanjia were a little surprised, they didn't panic at all.

Although the Dashun Army is known as a million, but their real situation is clear to the top Jiang Family Army, and they are simply regarded as a bunch of mobs in their hearts.

However, despite the contempt in his heart, there are many things that should be done.Despise the enemy strategically, but pay attention to the enemy tactically. This is what Jiang Chuanchang warned his generals.

Therefore, the two men sent people to report to Jiangchuan in Shanhaiguan, and at the same time dispatched troops to condemn the generals, making preparations for the battle.

Gao Yigong's 10 men and horses rushed to Shanjia's vanguard army.

Shanjia set up his formation and first let Qi Wentai lead the [-] Guanning Army to meet Gao Yigong's striker.

Now that Qi Wentai's Guan Ning army is backed by Jiang's army, they have confidence in their hearts, and they fought a fierce battle with Gao Yigong's forward troops, and the kills were indistinguishable.

Gao Yigong was furious, and personally led the main force to press up.

Guan Ning's army was outnumbered and gradually broke down. Shanjia saw the right time to let Guan Ning's army withdraw, and he personally led the army of Jiang's army to go up.

Seeing the victory in the first battle, Gao Yigong was proud of himself, and ordered the army to take advantage of the victory and attack, annihilating the vanguard of Jiang's army in one fell swoop.

And Shanjia also intends to completely defeat Gao Yigong's 10 horses, and the battle between the two sides is imminent.
