Chapter 178 I want to meet Chongzhen(2/2)
Li Zicheng took a short rest and then launched a fierce attack on the Eight Banners Han Army.
In this not-precipitous valley terrain, the Eight Banners Han Army did not build many fortifications on the mountain ridges on both sides, so the Dashun Army succeeded in just over two hours at the cost of more than 3,000 casualties.
Seizing the commanding heights on both sides of the valley, they then launched a commanding dive towards the Eight Banners Han Army huddled in the canyon.

All the red cannons along the way were also lost.
