It has to be said that all the officials of the Ming Dynasty are "smart people". The situation in Sichuan has not yet become clear, but the officials of the Ming Dynasty have already begun to think about things in the long term.

Li Chong 1 and Song Meng 2 led 8,000 fine cavalry. They passed through Zitong and Mianzhou one after another with 8,000 fine horses. They passed through Zitong and Mianzhou and arrived at Luojiang. At Luojiang, Li Chong 1 and Song Meng 2 men caught up with the people who had already arrived.

To Wang Weizhang's 30,000 troops who were about to enter the realm of Deyang.

When Wang Weizhang saw the Pei family's army revolting for the first time, he knew that something bad was going on. The speed of Jianzhou's fall was beyond his expectation, and even the rebels had already rushed to the vicinity of Deyang.

At this time, Wang Weizhang had just left Luojiang City and was on his way to Deyang. Now there were only two choices before Wang Weizhang. The first was to turn back to Luojiang immediately. This place was less than ten miles away from Luojiang. If he turned back to Luojiang, the army would not

There is no loss at all.

However, Luojiang City is sparsely populated, and the city walls are in disrepair, with holes everywhere. If he returns to Luojiang, he may be able to survive for an hour. When the bandit army arrives and surrounds Luojiang, then Wang Weizhang

Just like the turtle in the urn, it cannot escape even if it has wings.

The second step is to withstand the pressure of the rebel cavalry and enter Deyang little by little. Deyang is a big city with a high city and deep pool. In addition, it has a large population. If you enter Deyang, even if you are surrounded by the rebels, you will have more room for maneuver.

I think I can hold on until reinforcements from Sichuan arrive.

After Wang Weizhang thought for a moment, he gave up his plan to return to Luojiang and chose to occupy Deyang and wait for reinforcements. After Wang Weizhang made up his mind, he immediately ordered the army to change its marching formation and transform into a battle formation. The whole army advanced slowly, making sure not to disturb the surrounding troops.

There is no opportunity for thieves to take advantage of.

Luojiang is only 50 miles away from Deyang, and Wang Weizhang's place is only more than 30 miles away from Deyang. Even if Wang Weizhang's army slows down and uses one day to enter Deyang, there is still a 780% chance of victory. Order 1, the officers and soldiers

They quickly stopped and gathered in the direction of Wang Weizhang.

"General Song, the army has been changed into a turtle formation." Li Chongyi pointed at Song Meng beside Wang Weizhang's army and said with a smile.

Song Meng stared at the officers and soldiers for a while, and suddenly said: "No, the officers and soldiers not only did not turn back to Luojiang when they saw our army, but they gathered together. It seems that they either want to compete with our army, or they want to continue southward and enter

Deyang."

"Our army is all cavalry, and the official army is all infantry. Fighting cavalry with infantry is like using cannon to fight mosquitoes. There is no way to do it. Wang Weizhang's move must not be to fight our army, but to go towards Deyang."

"General Li, you must not put the army into Deyang, otherwise it will be difficult to capture the army."

"I know it." Li Chongyi spat fiercely, whipped the horse in his hand, and shouted: "Young men, follow me to overwhelm the turtle formation of the government army." Say it, Li Chongyi.

11 The horse took the lead and rushed towards Wang Weizhang's army.

Although Wang Weizhang had ordered the change of formation, the officers and soldiers had been out of training for a long time. There was still a long way to go before the kind of commander who could immediately change the formation at will with just one order. In fact, when Wang Weizhang ordered the change of formation,

At that time, the formation of the officers and soldiers became disorganized for a quarter of an hour.

When Li Chongyi charged, it was when the army was in chaos. However, even so, Li Chongyi still did not dare to charge towards the core of the army. He could only peel the edges of the army, layer by layer, like peeling an onion.

Progress gradually.

Li Chong moved, and Song Meng was not to be outdone, and also rushed towards the edge of the army. The desolate sound of horns resounded through the battlefield, and the two men led their cavalry, like black lightning, towards the chaotic group of officers and soldiers.

Come.

The officers and soldiers on the periphery were the first to feel the violent storm of Pei's army's attack. As the cavalry rushed into the chaos, countless soldiers' limbs flew across, blood spattered, and screams resounded throughout the battlefield.

At this moment, a trace of panic flashed in Wang Weizhang's eyes. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers gathered around Wang Weizhang had already formed their formation. With a backbone, the rebel soldiers relied on the array in the center and began to extend outwards. When Li Chong 1 and Song Meng 2

When people started to charge for the third time, the confusion among the officers and soldiers still disappeared.

Seeing that the opportunity had disappeared, Li Chong, Song and Meng were not angry. They led their cavalry to stop at a distance and watched every move of the officers and soldiers with eager eyes.

Wang Weizhang, who was in the middle of the army, breathed a sigh of relief at this time and continued to command the army to make up for the shortcomings of the battle formation without giving the Pei army the slightest chance.

Under the command of Wang Weizhang, 30,000 officers and soldiers were divided into three square formations, each with about 10,000 people. After the square formations were divided and formed, Wang Weizhang immediately commanded three square formations in the shape of "pin", alternating with each other.

March forward.

Li Chongyi and Song Meng continued to harass with cavalry, fired progressively, dug trenches in the front line of the marching army, etc., in an attempt to force the army to reveal its weaknesses. However, this place was too close to Deyang, and Wang Weizhang was like this

I kept approaching Deyang step by step in an orderly manner. Waiting until midnight, Deyang was already close at hand.

At the same time, Pei Xiaoer also led the main force of the Pei family's army, starting from Jianzhou and quickly advancing towards Chengdu. 1 On the way, all the prefectures and counties along the way placed some grain and grass outside the city in the same way as they had treated Li Chongyi and Song Meng.

On the road, they provide food for the Pei family army.

Upon seeing this, Pei Xiaoer immediately sent envoys into these prefectures and counties, hoping to persuade the chief officials of these prefectures and counties to surrender himself. However, without exception, all the envoys were brought into the city, where they were treated well and given some money.

The money was fine, and they were sent out of the city without even mentioning the matter of surrender.

After hearing this, Pei Xiaoer sneered: "These people want to see who wins between us and Wang Weizhang. If we win, I'm afraid we don't need to send people, they will take the initiative to surrender themselves; if so,

If we lose, then these states and counties will continue to be loyal ministers and good generals of the imperial court. This is really a good calculation."

Chen Tianming said: "General, why don't you humble yourself and capture one or two states and counties to let them know how powerful we are?"

"No." Pei Xiaoer raised his hand to stop him and said: "No, these people are just helpless people. If we really have to fight them off one by one, I'm afraid Wang Weizhang will take back Chengdu. Our top priority is to defeat Deyang as soon as possible.

Let’s talk about Wang Weizhang later.”

Go ahead, Pei Xiaoer sent the order: "Give me the order to speed up the advance of the whole army. We must reach Deyang before dawn tomorrow."

Just as Pei Xiaoer was marching towards Deyang, Zhang Xianzhong, who was far away in Henan, was also forced to flee northeastward by Zuo Liangyu's army.

Zhang Xianzhong was obviously cornered by Zuo Liangyu. There were only 2,000 or 3,000 men left in the entire army, and almost everyone was in trouble. Even Zhang Xianzhong himself had a few cuts on his face. Although they had been bandaged, they were probably gone.

The appearance is broken.

It's strange to say that Zhang Xianzhong has always been like a fish in water in the local area. The only time he lost was in a battle with the Pei family's army. Zhang Xianzhong was outnumbered and was beaten and fled in a panic. However, after leaving the Pei family's army, Zhang Xianzhong obviously became more prosperous again, and his men could

There were more and more generals who were good at fighting, but they met Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu is like Zhang Xianzhong's nemesis. He can always guess what Zhang Xianzhong's next move will be, but then responds accordingly, not only messing up Zhang Xianzhong's plan, but also beating Zhang Xianzhong's army into panic. 1

Complete weight loss time after time.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's hatred for Zuo Liangyu has become irreconcilable, far more than Pei Xiao2 who caused him harm in the first place. If there is a way to kill Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely do it immediately without hesitation.

Implementation.

Ai Nengqi saw Zhang Xianzhong's worried look. He hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help but said: "Father, is there actually no way to get rid of that thief Zuo Liangyu?"

"Oh?" Zhang Xianzhong's eyes lit up and he asked, "Tell me about it."

"Did the adoptive father forget that Wang Bingzhong was sent by Pei Xiaoer?"

"Wang Bingzhong?" Zhang Xianzhong suddenly asked. Last month, Pei Xiaoer's gangster sent a man named Wang Bingzhong to his camp and suggested to him to go east and attack Fengyang. At first, Zhang Xianzhong was really moved, but

Later, Zuo Liangyu was called to Shaanzhou, and after going back and forth, the army attacking Zhang Xianzhong stopped.

Zhang Xianzhong was at ease for a few days. When Zuo Liangyu came back, he continued to attack Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong fled in a panic, choosing a way out. In his panic, he completely forgot about Wang Bingzhong. At this time, he heard the reminder from his adopted son Ai Nengqi that Zhang Xianzhong 1
