So, this little thing that he thought was a big deal later brought him a huge disaster.
He didn¡¯t even think about it, would Li Zicheng be someone who would give his advantages to others? Will anyone give his own flesh to his enemies to eat? Of course not, so Li Zicheng naturally cannot be a charitable giver. There is naturally a reason why he does this.
And the reason is that he can defeat Sun Chuanting more easily by doing this.
Sun Chuanting's soldiers were naturally very excited when they saw the weapons dropped on the ground that were much more sophisticated than the equipment they used. At this moment, Li Zicheng fled in a hurry, not even caring about the equipment and throwing it away at will. Isn't it a good time to get these treasures back?
As a result, the soldiers were very happy because there were free treasures on the ground. So, all the soldiers swarmed up, causing the entire formation to be completely chaotic. There was no discipline at all. Everyone was scrambling to get the best equipment. use it yourself.
And this played into Li Zicheng's plan. Now is the time when the two sides are facing off. Sun Chuanting's position is in chaos, which is naturally the time for Li Zicheng to counterattack.
Sun Chuanting never expected that Li Zicheng would suddenly come back. Perhaps he could not control these crazy soldiers even if he thought that this was Li Zicheng's plan. Everyone is greedy, and the lower the quality, The more primitive people are in their pursuit of excellence, for example, these soldiers, they will not think of letting people collect all the equipment before distributing it uniformly, nor will they think of anything wrong with doing so. Not only that, the lower the quality, the more ridiculous and unreasonable the reasons for people's suspicion of others, and the more self-centered they are. Everything outside of themselves is bad and should not exist.
Li Zicheng came back, bringing the troops who were still neatly dressed and well-equipped. The soldiers who had discarded their equipment stopped behind them and formed a team to wait for the next move. From this point of view, Sun Chuanting's soldiers were still inferior.
Sun Chuanting suddenly realized that Li Zicheng had left and returned. He was frightened and quickly asked the soldiers to come back to prepare for the battle. But who would listen to him in this situation? Who can hear it? Their eyes have long been attracted by the equipment on the ground, and they can't see anything else, let alone follow the command. They didn't suddenly wake up until Li Zicheng's soldiers had arrived in front of them. He hurriedly picked up the weapon in his hand and started to resist, but how could he resist those wolf-like soldiers? Some people were even in the process of putting the armor on their bodies when their heads were cut off with a knife.
"Sun Chuanting, can I, Li Zicheng, take things for free? You pig-headed man, it's time for you to pay the price. You should die, haha." Li Zicheng laughed crazily while riding on his horse. The sword in his hand waved, killing five or six people in a blink of an eye. To him, these people who hurriedly picked up the sword and gun were like puppets standing on the ground, letting him kill them.
Sun Chuanting was angry and anxious, and he reluctantly resisted with a group of people who had woken up. However, there were only a few of them, and now they were in a hurry to fight. How could they be Li Zicheng's opponent? They fought and retreated. There were countless corpses left on the road. Just like what Li Zicheng said just now, it was easier for them not to pick them up, but they paid the price in blood.
Li Zicheng had a great victory this time, killing Sun Chuanting's team to pieces. He originally wanted to annihilate all Sun Chuanting's team, but unexpectedly Zhang Lei suddenly came with a cannon, and he was immediately shocked. frightened. Ignoring cleaning up the battlefield, he hurried away with his people.
Zhang Lei relieved Sun Chuanting and watched Li Zicheng leave with his men, but did not pursue him. His team was very tired from marching in recent days, so it would be inappropriate to continue chasing. He ordered his men to clean up the battlefield, and he came to Sun Chuanting's side. I looked at the soldiers around me. They were all disheveled and in a very embarrassed state. I couldn't help but ask, "How is Master Sun? Is there nothing wrong?"
How could Sun Chuanting tell Zhang Lei such a shameful thing. He wiped the stains on his face and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Thanks to Mr. Zhang for helping us out, otherwise we might be in trouble. He has too many people, and we can't cope with it. "
How could Zhang Lei know how ugly the behavior of those soldiers looting equipment just now was? Hearing what Sun Chuanting said, he took it seriously and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of them, you only have 50,000 troops, and Li Zicheng has always had a strategy. Being able to fight against them shows that you, General Sun, are also a great person. Let brother Let's clean up the battlefield. There are still very important things to do next. If Li Zicheng can't completely eliminateIf this happens, there will be endless troubles. It won¡¯t be too late for us to hunt him down after a period of repair. "
Sun Chuanting immediately ordered everyone to do things, while Zhang Lei went to Kaifeng to contact the temporary residence and prepare to repair it for a few days, so as to adjust his tactics and strategies and summarize the gains and losses.
Li Zicheng fled back to Shaanxi from Kaifeng. His number was less than 200,000 and he lost nearly 30%.
Besides Ma Shiying, although he fought a big defeat as soon as he arrived, he had a small incident and a small matter. When he was in Chongzhen, all of them were all the achievements of his supervisor. Chongzhen was naturally very happy. Not only did he issue an edict to praise Ma Shiying, but Zhou Yanru, who recommended Ma Shiying, also received a lot of benefits. Since Ma Shiying was so powerful, Chongzhen immediately thought, why not send him to Zhang Lei to serve as Zhang Lei's supervisor? So he immediately issued an edict asking Ma Shiying to serve as a supervisor in Zhang Lei's army.
Zhou Yanru was shocked when he heard the news, but he could not let Chongzhen give up the idea. He could only watch the edict issued from the court and sent to Ma Shiying.
When Ma Shiying saw the edict, he stood blankly on the spot. Then he sat down on the stool and said with dull eyes: "It's over. Go become a general for that evil star. I'm done."
"But even if he knew that there were tigers in the mountains, he still had to go to the Tiger Mountains. This was Chongzhen's order. He didn't have the courage of Zhang Lei to disobey the emperor's orders. So he could only take his people to where Zhang Lei was.
Zhang Lei led people into Kaifeng, found a place to settle down, and then counted his losses and found that there were more than 5,000 casualties. This number was acceptable. After all, Li Zicheng paid a price of tens of thousands. From the overall situation, From the above, Zhang Lei won with a huge advantage.
On this day, he suddenly received news that someone was coming to supervise the army, and they were already outside. He couldn't help but be shocked. He had never heard about anyone coming to supervise the army. Originally, Sun Chuanting was here to monitor the army. Now that he was the supervisor, he had sent him away with one million silver, so why did another one come? Alas, it is not good if there is no intelligence system, and we can't even get any information. And it seems that Chongzhen still doesn't give up on himself. Thinking of this, he felt very angry. Said: "Go and call me into the big tent."
After a while, a man came in. He looked like he was in his forties. He was wearing a red Ming Dynasty official dress, with a black veil on his head. His expression looked a little uncomfortable. After entering the big tent, his eyes wandered around. , looking at everything here.
Zhang Lei disliked it even more when he saw this. He coughed lightly and said, "Who is coming? Tell me your name."
Ma Shiying was startled, and quickly took out the power of attorney given to him by Chongzhen, held it in both hands, came to Zhang Lei, and said: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Zhang is a young man with extraordinary talents and prowess. Today I saw that he is indeed well-deserved. I am the official Ma Shiying is the supervisor appointed by the emperor. This is the letter of appointment. Please see it, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Lei glared, casually pulled the commission and threw it on the table, and said calmly: "I don't need to supervise the army, you can go back."
After hearing this, Ma Shiying suddenly raised his head and said with some surprise: "What? Master Zhang is going back from his post?"
Zhang Lei said impatiently: "Yes, I just want you to go back. I don't need to supervise the army. I will handle my own affairs. If you stay here, you will have to provide food for one person. There is nothing wrong with you." , you go back, go back to where you came from."
"But the emperor has appointed a lower official to supervise the army. This is the official's duty. I hope that Mr. Zhang can be considerate of the official." Ma Shiying couldn't help but wiped his sweat and said to himself that this thunder is really not good. An easy character to deal with.
Zhang Lei smiled contemptuously and said: "Who is that, Ma Shiying, right? I also know that you are sent by the emperor. If not, you wouldn't even be able to enter this tent. Just go back and tell the emperor that I am doing something Have your own sense of proportion and ask him not to push his limits. As for me, I can take soft things rather than hard things. If I am pushed hard, I can do anything. So go back and tell the emperor not to have any thoughts. He wanted to kill me last time. I haven¡¯t settled the score with him yet.¡±
Ma Shiying was shocked when he heard this and said: "How could Mr. Zhang say such rebellious words? The emperor is the king of a country, and this matter is common sense. Is Mr. Zhang still dissatisfied?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Both you and I know the emperor's intentions. In this case, let's speak openly and don't beat around the bush. Isn't he just worried that I will rebel? Isn't he just afraid that I am too strong? Why don't you tell me, I want to fight now, but I'm not allowed to develop, what can I use to fight, and I need the horse to run and not eat grass, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"
