The massacre that had changed directions was about to begin again. The Ming army infantry, which had originally retreated, also turned around and fought back towards Zezhou City.

On the battlefield, everything could happen in an instant. Even though this battle was not a matter of life and death, countless soldiers of the trench soldiers were about to be massacred, Li Zicheng could only close his eyes and could not bear to see this cruel scene.

The gate of Zezhou City was closed, and about 20,000 infantry and cavalry of the rebels were scattered outside the city. These were Li Zicheng's bait, waiting for the Ming army to bite the hook.

If you want to eat these 20,000 soldiers of the rebel army, the Ming army would have to send about twice the number of troops at the lowest level. Li Zicheng on the city wall of Zezhou observed the Ming army camp in the direction of Laozhu Mountain. In the simple Ming army camp, there were crowds of people at this time.

As expected, the Ming army would not let go of such an opportunity. Li Zicheng saw Ming army lined up in the Ming army camp, cavalry, infantry, artillery, and other camps, each forming their own formation.

Then, a series of artillery shells flew up from the Ming army's artillery positions and headed towards Zezhou City. Li Zicheng could only hide in the city gate tower, but he was not worried.

The battle under the city has entered a white-hot heat, and teams of Ming troops are fighting towards the rebels everywhere. The Ming army has the upper hand, but it does not have the advantage in terms of quantity, and it seems that it will be entangled for a while.

At this time, Hao Yaoqi rode his horse and waved his whip. Under the escort of a group of confidants, he rushed to the front of the cavalry team of the rebellion army, without blinking, staring at the Ming army artillery positions that were constantly rising from afar.

Teams of spearmen, archers, and knife soldiers had already emerged from the Ming army camp and began to line up in the direction facing Hao Yaoqi. Obviously, they wanted to block Hao Yaoqi's cavalry. Li Chuangjun's light cavalry target was very clear and was the Ming army's artillery camp position. Zhang Shize, who was commanding the battle, saw this clearly.

However, Hao Yaoqi was not a flaw. Just when his cavalry was about to approach the Ming army's infantry formation, Hao Yaoqi suddenly turned his horse's head and turned left, leading the thousands of light cavalry he had assembled, running along the formation arranged by the Ming army, and finally turned right again at the end of the Ming army's infantry formation, and rushed directly to the front of the Ming army's artillery formation!

He wanted to attack dozens of general artillery placed in front of the Ming army camp from the front, but in this way, his thousands of light cavalry would also be ruined here, because the Ming army infantry battle formations were surrounded by Ming army, so he could not rush out at all.

If these artillery were three kilograms, he would undoubtedly die if he did this now. Although the gap between "one kilogram" and "three kilograms" was not big, the power gap was very big. Three kilograms of artillery shells were attacked with broken bullets. The frontal impact of the cavalry would be death, and one kilogram of artillery shells was nothing more than single-digit casualties.

The gunners who operated these "one-pound" cannons were not heroes who were unchanged when Mount Tai collapsed. At this time, the Ming army saw thousands of cavalry rushing towards the front like a flood breaking through the dike. They were all frightened and could not reload calmly. They all threw their cannons and fled.

Hao Yaoqi immediately seized the opportunity and led the cavalry to rush forward. He grabbed the cannon formation with one charge. However, Li Zicheng attached great importance to dozens of small cannons. These dozens of small cannons were a big trouble for him. The capital camp was destroyed by these general cannons.

Looking at the captured artillery and the increasingly close battle formation of the Ming army infantry, Hao Yaoqi wanted to destroy these dozens of artillery as soon as possible, but Hao Yaoqi and his cavalry did not carry hammers and nails. They did not know that as long as the fire gate was nailed to death, these artillery would have to be rebuilt. Without this knowledge, they could only set fires and ignite gunpowder.

Just as Hao Yaoqi and his men were damaging everywhere, deafening cheers suddenly sounded on the battlefield. It turned out that when tens of thousands of Ming troops were out and the battle with the rebels was difficult to separate, the ambush of the rebels came out. Li Zicheng also opened the Zezhou city gate and personally led countless rebel infantry and cavalry to launch a counterattack!

He saw Hao Yaoqi's victory. These general artillery that could no longer be his heart disease. Li was ready to counterattack since he was established. At this time, Li Yan also brought more than a thousand cavalry to Zezhou.

Just after a meeting, the Ming army that was fighting was immediately defeated. When Li Zicheng launched a counterattack, the cannons of the rebel army on the top of Zezhou City also opened fire at the same time. In a short time, hundreds of stone bullets were fired at the Ming army's positions.

The Ming army infantry who was beaten there happened to receive the order to retreat a hundred steps. These Ming army infantry were already "hard" by their opponent's shells, but in fact they were not very miserable. At most, dozens of people were killed or injured. However, in this case, when the rebels emerged from the surrounding mountains, the grass and trees were all under the soldiers, people were panic and uneasy, and they could not retreat in an orderly manner.

Li Zicheng, who had already gotten off the city and moved to the gate of Zezhou City, was waiting for this opportunity, so he made a quick decision and let the infantry and cavalry of the rebel army start a full-scale counterattack!

The opportunity should not be missed, and the time will not come again. This is the best opportunity. It is not impossible to swallow these Ming troops and attack the Ming Dynasty's capital again. At this time, he has received complete information. The Ming Dynasty had no foreign aid at all. The Ming Dynasty's Liaodong Army was confronting the Dongnu people. Under the restraint of the two sides, they did not care about the Ming Dynasty's capital.

As for whether the two sides will negotiate a peace, Li Zicheng felt it was impossible. Chongzhen was such a proud person. In such a critical moment, he had not moved the capital. Now he must still be in the capital to conquer the lost land!

With the order of Li Zicheng, countless trespassers bravely moved forward. Half of the infantry in front held long spears and half held swords and shields to form a dense formation. From a distance, you can see infantry wearing blue arrow clothes and white hats rushing like a torrent.

The formation of the trench army was not neat and did not form any square formation. It was still arranged side by side into a dense array of lines, not straight, but crooked.

Although the queue was not in order, the morale of the generals was extremely high. The most important thing was that there was a supervising team. Behind the infantry was the old camp that supervised and fought in concert. The old camp soldiers of the rebel army were all ruthless. They were not ruthless when they killed the deserters.

Moreover, the officers of the riots stood at the head of the team, holding swords and spears to lead the soldiers forward. The reason why they are very motivated is not all because of the cruelty of the King of Chuang. Instead, they feel that they still have a future with Li Zicheng. After all, they have no research on the situation in the world, but they are fighting further and further away, and their food and use are getting better and better.

For most people in the feudal era, there are very few ways to rise in class; studying requires not only talent, but also resources; only in troubled times can one have the opportunity to be promoted to class, as the saying goes: heroes come from troubled times!

The title of wife and son is a family of food for bells and dying. This is the luxury of most people in the feudal era. If you want to have it, no matter how brave it is, you will not be born at the wrong time. Only in troubled times can you take advantage of the opportunity to establish a new dynasty and become a family of nobles.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are conquering the world for themselves and their descendants now, so how can they be inadequate? Because they can see hope, they have not been shattered by hope, and they did not see the dignified Bohou Li Guo, who was chopped up and hung on the top of the Ming Dynasty like the rebel army in the capital camp.

General Quan was stabbed to death by Gao Yigong's attack. This is the real reason for the defeat of the Breaking Army camp. There is no hope. Now these Breaking Army soldiers in Zezhou City can still see hope and have hope!

Rows of spears were undulating and moving forward, and tens of thousands of infantry came rumbling like this. Behind them, there were more than thousands of cavalrymen. Under the leadership of Li Yanhong, Li Zicheng's "Chuang" banner was slowly moving forward!

Seeing the momentum of the trespassing army, the Ming army on the opposite side was already afraid before the battle. They all threw the order to retreat a hundred steps away from the opponent's artillery behind them, and they couldn't stop once they retreated.

Even if Zhang Shize drew new forces at this time and tried to form a new line of defense to prevent the breakthrough of the trespassing army, it was useless. The results of the counterattack just now disappeared in an instant.

However, there was no result in the battle. Hao Yaoqi, who occupied the Ming army's artillery position, could only set off a few fires in a hurry when the Ming army infantry rushed over. The Ming army's artillery did not run far before. After all, the camp was behind him and he did not dare to run far. As Hao Yaoqi had just retreated, they returned to the battlefield and put out the fire set by Hao Yaoqi and others, and helped up the knocked cannon. After counting, they found that not many were damaged, and at least more than thirty cannons could be continued to be used. Other cannons need to be repaired due to damage to the artillery stand.

Hao Yaoqi had no idea that Ming Jun’s new gunpowder could not be damaged by just setting fire. The medicine bag was very good at preventing fire. In his eagerness, he did not look for good props to set fire. Cut the medicine bag and ignite the fire, but he only lost this medicine bag.

Zhang Shize quickly drank and asked someone to withdraw these cannons back to the camp. After the field battle in front of him, the camp was the most important stronghold of the Ming army on the battlefield.

Once the camp fails, tens of thousands of troops on the battlefield will lose their support, and they will probably become prey that will be chased by the thieves in an instant!

After Li Zicheng commanded the army to break through the Ming army's battle formation, he did not immediately go to the Ming army camp; Laozhushan attacked, but instead used his troops to siege the heavy cavalry of the Ming army.

Many of the heavy horses of this Ming army were damaged, but because of the configuration of one man and two horses, there are still about 900 heavy horses. This heavy horse protected a team of more than 2,000 musketeers at this time. Relying on the dead war horses, the heavy horses stormed the enemy's formation. This musket battalion actually repelled several rounds of attacks of the rebel army!

Their blockade also gave the Ming army a chance to pack up the team and fight again. Li Zicheng saw that his troops were repelled several times and left a corpse in front of the simple formation of the Ming army. He knew that he could not attack forcibly, so he had to patiently adjust the arrangement.

The powerful firearms of these Ming army were far from comparable before. I don’t know why, and the filling speed was much faster than before. Li Zicheng was not indifferent to the deaths and injuries ahead.

He first rebuilt a front line that confronted the Ming army. At the same time, Li Zicheng ordered his artillery to be transported over and re-deployed, preparing to use them to destroy this stubborn Ming army.

This is a time-consuming and laborious job. Not only do you have to move cannons, but you also have to pile up soil to make a cannon stand. This project will take two or three hours to complete.

Li Zicheng also knew that these cannons were inconvenient to use, so he had to wait patiently while adjusting archers to shoot the Ming army's battle formation.

However, the heavy cavalry of the Ming army was so annoying that they could not stop it. As a last resort, the thousands of light cavalry under Hao Yaoqi, who had survived death, suffered a lot of losses. Now they have been replenished and fight back as a dead soldier again.

As a result, before they rushed far, they were counterattacked by the Ming army's heavy cavalry. Thousands of light cavalry faced the Ming army's heavy cavalry with only more than 900 people, and seemed powerless to resist. Of course, this was related to their failure to maintain a good formation during the charge. However, these were temporarily formed and had not been adjusted in at all. They were destroyed by the Ming army's heavy cavalry. These scattered light cavalry retreated in chaos and disrupted the formation of the riots in the rear.

Zhang Shize seized the opportunity in the rear at this time, immediately activated the troops and pressed them up again. Li Zicheng also knew that he had no choice but to retreat, and he gritted his teeth to command the troops to resist to the death.

But he is not the opponent of this Ming army heavy cavalry? He can't stop him even if he fights his life!

Fortunately, the Ming army was divided into two formations at this time, so it had a greater depth. After resisting one after another, it barely stabilized the formation under the desperate battle of Hao Yaoqi and other generals.

Li Zicheng mobilized tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry from the rear, all of which were new forces, and handed them over to general Liu Fangliang, asking him to command them to continue the attack.

As a result, the two sides fought again, and after three hours of killing, Li Zicheng was forced to retreat step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step after retreating to the moat, and then he leaned against the river to stabilize his position.

It was stable, but the rebel army was also divided at this time. The ambushers that were originally killed were also interrupted at this time and fought on their own. They did not expect that the Ming army would suddenly be so capable and have such a fighting will.

The rebels on the battlefield were divided into several pieces. Although they were all very powerful, they were divided by a few Ming troops.

Li Zicheng and tens of thousands of people were crowded at the city of Zezhou, crowded on the bank of the moat to confront the Ming army. The one they were facing was the firearm camp that the Ming army was waiting for at this time.

Hao Yaoqi was composed of dead soldiers and infantry and cavalry, and he was unable to join the battlefield at this time. He faced the Ming army's gun formation and long gun battle formation.

Liu Fangliang and Gu Junen's more than 10,000 miscellaneous cards were blocked by the Ming sabre and shield hands. This was not a simple sword and shield hands, but a heavy armored infantry, which was also a heavy armored infantry that could only be configured by the Ming army.

On the edge of the battlefield, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi led more than thousands of light cavalry, fighting against the Ming army heavy cavalry that suddenly expanded to more than a thousand at this time.

From the current point of view, the situation on the battlefield is quite beneficial to Li Zicheng. As long as he has any one of them that can repel the Ming army, it can form a chain reaction and instantly reverse the situation on the battlefield.
