0926 Capture the city
The Ming army is here for another reason. The polarization in the Ming army is very serious. For example, the army on the Jiubian is a team that often fights with the Mongols, and is quite elite and very capable. So in the early stages of fighting with the rebels, thousands of reinforcements transferred from the Jiubian could chase tens of thousands of rebels!
However, the combat effectiveness of other Ming soldiers was extremely low. Especially the Ming soldiers who guarded the city, their combat effectiveness was very low. To put it a little bigger, it was stronger than the thugs in the battle. Therefore, neither side was willing to take the lead in attacking.
But the officer's mind is different. He has now determined that the person on the other side wants to occupy the city gate and break through the city. If the other party succeeds, he will definitely have his head fallen to the ground.
So he used a sword to whip the soldiers on the back and force them to move forward. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Kill them quickly! These people are bandits! If the city is broken by bandits, we will all die!"
The Ming soldiers seemed to understand their situation and approached tentatively. When a Ming soldier was stabbed into the left shoulder by a spear, the battle really began!
The Ming army was trained in the gun array and understood how to cover and attack each other. However, the long-term lack of training made their physical strength and tactics decrease significantly. The people in the rebel army had never learned the gun array and were only stabbing randomly based on their instinct. However, they had good physical strength and dared to fight and kill! Therefore, the gun arrays of both sides could be said to be of equal importance. However, the rebel army gained the upper hand with the will to dare to fight!
The spears stabbed each other and called each other. Screams came one after another! In a blink of an eye, seven or eight people were lying down from the gun arrays of both sides, and three or four others were injured and lying on the ground screaming! The guns on the rebels were completely collapsed, but there were still many people on the Ming army using spears! They were approaching!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Niu Bajin rushed over with a loud roar! Niu Bajin pierced a chest and was injured. The rebel soldier who was staggering backed up and rushed into the gun array!
Niu Bajin missed his shield very much at this moment! But the shield was too large to bring it into the city. All he could get was a simple weapon like a war knife.
Niu Bajin rushed forward with the wounded. Without running two steps, the wounded was stabbed by three spears and screamed completely stopped moving! Niu Bajin took advantage of the opportunity to push the body he was taken out, and the body he was taken out fell down, pressing down the three spears on the body together!
Then Niu Bajin jumped on the body and jumped into the Ming army's gun formation! Niu Bajin slashed left and right with a battle knife, and instantly chopped down two spearmen!
Once the spearmen had no distance, they would have no combat ability! So the other spearmen had to retreat and try to widen the distance. But Niu Mangu had already rushed in through the gap of the gun array! When they took the sword to slash and slash, the gunmen of the Changming Army could not hold back and threw away the spear and fled! Even the officer was pulled by the soldiers and escaped in the crowd!
The panting people quickly retracted back to the city gate hole under Niu Bajin's greeting, preparing to save their results. As soon as they arrived at the city gate hole, Niu Bajin shouted: "Go out quickly! Go out quickly! The horse team is here!"
Everyone was afraid of being trampled to death by war horses, so they hurriedly ran out of the city gate hole and stood on both sides of the city gate hole. Then they heard a large rumbling sound of horse hooves. After a moment, a large group of cavalry swarmed in! The one who led it was Li Zicheng! Everyone immediately cheered loudly!
When Li Zicheng saw Niu Bajin and his son waved the sword in his hand, he shouted: "Good job!"
Then they disappeared into the dark night ahead. After a moment, the brigade of infantry arrived. They shouted and entered the city and launched an attack according to their respective plans.
Since the Laoying horse team entered the city, they were colliding with Ming soldiers who were supporting him everywhere in the city. These cavalry rushed into the crowd and slashed and slashed. The Ming soldiers, who had low morale, saw that the bandits had entered the city, were powerless to stop them, and they simply scattered! So Li Zicheng and others easily controlled the four city gates.
The matter then became simple. After the army entered the city, all those who dared to resist were killed. A trembling county magistrate was found in the county government office, and he was directly killed by Liu Zongmin! Then he began to search the whole city! Crying and screaming sounds in the county town! You must know that Li Zicheng's subordinates are not regular soldiers.
Rape, lust and looting are indispensable!
Knowing that the sky was bright, the chaos in the county town completely subsided. Then, Li Zicheng, who was short of supplies, searched everything in the county town. Then "mobilized" the young and strong people in the city to follow them.
The people in the county town just couldn't help but follow him. In this cold winter, there was no food to live for a few days. All the food was taken away by Li Zicheng. The people had to follow the rebel army on their journey.
In the morning, Li Zicheng also met Niu Bajin and his son. Last time they had 200 cars of silver, ten pieces of silk and one woman for each person. These two women were concubines and ladies of a wealthy family in the city. Their whole family was killed except for women.
Niu Bajin was very calm, but Niu Mangu was extremely happy! For Niu Mangu, he had never met such a wealthy lady before. But today he was sent to him, which made him even more grateful to Li Zicheng.
Two days later, the rebel army grew a circle and headed straight towards the Lu family along the official road. When they arrived, they found that the Lu family's current city had been alert. After all, Mianchi County was so big that someone could escape. The surrounding counties already knew that the rebel army was nearby and were ready to fight.
However, these county towns have been in peace for hundreds of years, and the county's military equipment is not as good as that. Li Zicheng drove the old and weak forward to consume the equipment and will of the army defending the city, and then climbed the city with his strength, and easily captured the county town.
Then I repeated the set in Mianchi, killing the gentry and wealthy people in the local area and seizing money, food and supplies. As for the population that was covered, the number of people who died on the battlefield was much larger, so the team grew a part of it.
Then Li Zicheng conquered Yinyang County with the same method, and finally successfully met with Gao Yingxiang!
Since several rebels joined forces, the rebels' momentum has become so powerful! The Ming army was so scared that they dared not attack rashly, they only dared to look for fighter jets on the periphery and did not dare to get close.
