Domineering Daming

Li Zicheng is different from Niu Jinxing. He has been under Gao Yingxiang for a long time and has experienced ups and downs. Under Song Xiance's suggestion, he kept training the army and selecting brave men. It worked, at least much better than Niu Jinxing.

Li Zicheng didn't want to fight, but he couldn't hide now. He could only press the army up. If he could withstand it, the army behind Gao Yingxiang would be able to press up and completely defeat the army!

If this is the case, then Shaanxi really belongs to them!

Cao Wenzhao saw that this group of thieves really dared to confront his army, and finally understood why Zhu Xu in the palace had planned so early and done so many things.

He can see far!Farther than everyone!

The more this is the case, the more angry Cao Wenzhao feels, these gangsters should be killed!

He sat on the horse without moving an inch, allowing Li Zicheng's long snake formation to approach.In Cao Wenzhao's view, this formation is more for the convenience of their escape, and it is useless!

When they reached a certain distance, he sat on the horse, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Fire!"

Bang bang bang!

The sound of guns was rumbling, the smoke filled the air, and shells exploded in Li Zicheng's army.

Cao Wenzhao's ears moved, a little surprised at the power of the cannon.

This is the latest cannon developed by the Military Weapons Bureau. It has a range of more than 5000 meters. The shell is also specially made and powerful. According to the name given by the emperor, it is called "fire oil bomb". It does not kill people, but shoots hot fire. Oil, even a little bit of oil, is enough to make a strong man cry and lose his combat power.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

Sure enough, as the shells exploded, the refugee soldiers nearby fell to the ground one after another, rolling on the ground, screaming in pain.

The thirty cannons did not stop at all, and the shells flew out one after another. It didn't take long to completely disrupt Li Zicheng's long snake formation, and even interrupted their offensive vigor, and countless people began to flee in all directions.

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth with hatred. He was counting on the attack to increase the morale of the army, and to fight head-on with the officers and soldiers. How could he have thought that the officers and soldiers would have such a thing in their hands!

These refugee troops, who were already discordant, suddenly collapsed and fled in all directions. Li Zicheng hesitated again and again, hit his horse and went straight to the west, angrily said: "Withdraw the troops!"

Behind him was Gao Yingxiang's army in the north. He didn't go back. He knew that once he went back, he would only break up Gao Yingxiang's formation. Most importantly, he felt that Gao Yingxiang would not be able to win!

Cao Wenzhao didn't care about Li Zicheng at all, and ordered: "Don't chase after the poor, the army moves forward, and the artillery advances at full speed!"

Gao Yingxiang has been watching Li Zicheng's every move. Seeing that he will be defeated as soon as he touches the officers and soldiers, the trace of luck in his heart has disappeared. He turned his head to look at Song Xiance not far away and said, "Sir, what should we do now?"

He also didn't think that the [-] stragglers in his hands could defeat the nearly [-] elite officers and soldiers, especially with artillery.

Song Xiance's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and he said in a low voice, "Dock your tail for survival!"

Gao Yingxiang opened his eyes fiercely, and understood what Song Xiance meant.

But he struggled in his heart, this is the army he managed to pull together, if it disappeared so easily, he would be extremely unwilling!

But Cao Wenzhao's army was approaching, so he couldn't allow him to think more.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, Niu Jinxing galloped over on horseback, and said anxiously: "Lintong missed, nearly ten thousand officers and soldiers are chasing after him!"

Song Xiance instinctively felt that Niu Jinxing was lying, but now he didn't have time to check it out for him, so he could only look at Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw thousands of refugees running towards him in the direction of Lintong, and he could still faintly hear the sound of officers and soldiers fighting.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "General Niu, after you lead the army, when the king arrives in Xianyang, prepare the army and fight to the death with the army!"

Niu Jinxing looked shocked, isn't this exactly the same as the golden cicada's shelling trick he just did?

Man is a knife and I am a fish, so Niu Jinxing had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

As soon as Gao Yingxiang saw it, he immediately led his [-] directly-administered "elite soldiers" to Xianyang. With Liu Zongmin there, he could still resist the official army for a while, enough for him to turn around and enter Fengxiang Mansion, and then transferred to Han, Zhong, Sichuan and Shaanxi , the border of the three provinces of Huguang, he has a lot of space.

Niu Jinxing took over the remaining [-] refugee troops, and when Gao Yingxiang left, he was not polite, and directly led his people to the west, heading straight for Gongchang Mansion.

"kill!"

When Liu Wentian, who came from Lintong to kill him, saw it, he immediately ordered the whole army to chase Niu Jinxing westward.

Cao Wenzhao also ordered the cannons to enter Xi'an Mansion, and then went straight to Xianyang.

As the governor of Shaanxi, Yang He finally had a chance to show his anger. He also led [-] troops out of the city to join Liu Wentian and hunt down Xiang Niu Jinxing.

As soon as Gao Yingxiang arrived in Xianyang, he robbed all the supplies, gold, silver and treasures in Xianyang, and led the army to take them to Fengxiang Mansion via Fengxiang Mansion, and rushed straight into Hanzhong.Running all the way, only Song Xiance, Liu Zongmin and his brother-in-law were by his side.

As soon as he arrived in Wugong, he was chased and killed by Cao Wenzhao, and the officers and soldiers crushed him. Gao Yingxiang had no power to fight back, so he had to cut off his tail to survive and left Liu Zongmin behind. As a result, Liu Zongmin was captured and beheaded three thousand, more than ten thousand people surrender.

Gao Yingxiang was carrying 4 people, but within an hour, he was overtaken by Cao Wenzhao and was defeated in Baoji. He left his brother-in-law and entered Hanzhong Mansion with only 2 people.

Cao Wenzhao, who was planning to completely wipe out Gao Yingxiang, received an emergency order from Sun Chuanting, ordering him to send his troops northward to recover the prefectures and counties captured by the rebels.

Cao Wenzhao's army turned around and attacked in three directions, almost surrendering in anticipation. Dozens of states and counties were quickly regained control by the officers and soldiers.

Niu Jinxing's 30 refugee army was ambushed not far from Fengxiang Mansion, and lost most of them. He fled north in a hurry, but was ambushed again in Ningzhou, leaving less than [-] people, so he had to surrender to the army.

Chapter 453 A Great Victory

Gao Yingxiang fled in a panic and rushed to Hanzhong Mansion, but now he hesitated where to go.

Now they have less than 2 people left, and it is too difficult to attack the city. If they encounter an ambush by the government and army, they will be in big trouble.

Fortunately, Cao Wenzhao did not continue to catch up and gave them time to breathe.

In a valley, nearly [-] refugee troops gathered together, eating dry food with their heads downcast, looking panicked and worried.

Gao Yingxiang also lost the kingly demeanor of the past, with messy hair and restless expression on his face.He had a premonition that this time was different from the past, the officers and soldiers even used their cannons, obviously determined to eradicate them, and it was impossible to give him another chance to recover.

He looked at the only trustworthy military advisor beside him, Song Xiance, and said in a humble tone: "Sir, where do you think we should go now?"

They had plans before, to go to Huguang and Sichuan, but now that they think about it, I'm afraid it won't work. This kind of people are not opponents of the officers and soldiers at all.

Song Xiance was secretly annoyed, but in fact they should have left before and should not have confronted the officers and soldiers head-on, but now that they are at the end of their rope, they can only think of other ways.

Sitting on a stone, he gnawed on the stiff steamed buns while thinking: "My lord, people's hearts are not in harmony now, so we must find a way to win people's hearts again. Sichuan, Huguang can't go, go to Gongchang Mansion, and then go back to northern Shaanxi. Start all over again!"

This is in line with Gao Yingxiang's heart. Northern Shaanxi is the place where he made his fortune and is also the place he is most familiar with. It is the only place where he can make a comeback!He hurriedly asked: "Sir, how can we gather people's hearts?"

A refugee is a refugee, and they all come for money and steamed buns. If these are gone, no one will follow him.

Song Xiance drew and wrote on the ground, and said for a long time: "Nanzheng is in the south, and there are probably a thousand soldiers in the government. There must be more food and money. To the west is Huizhou. The soldiers in the government are not as good as Nanzheng. It is estimated that there is no food and silver for disaster relief. How many."

Song Xiance's meaning is very simple, there are both advantages and disadvantages, Gao Yingxiang should choose by himself.

Gao Yingxiang stared at the chaotic pattern Song Xiance drew on the ground, struggling endlessly.Nanzheng is naturally the best place to gather the morale of the army, but it is also the most risky.Huizhou is easy to get, if there is no gain, it will be easier to distract people!
