Chapter 145: Fighting

Luo Rucai still believes in the news he got, after the battle of Anqing, the Ming army returned to its original station, and then the Ying Long army went north to fight with the Qing army, the emperor has been staying in Wuchang, there are not many soldiers and horses left around him, Luo Rucai even doubts that many of the more than 60,000 troops are temporarily formed.

However, no matter what, Luo Rucai didn't want to let go of this opportunity, 30,000 of his 100,000 troops were the elite of a hundred battles who had followed him for many years, and his combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of an ordinary 100,000 army, so even if Emperor Ming brought more than 100,000 troops, he dared to give it a try.

This is not that Luo Rucai is arrogant, as one of the several major generals under Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai's prestige is even louder than Li Dingguo, known as the first general of the Great Western Kingdom, but he has some water, and his ability to command troops should not be underestimated.

And this time he took the initiative to personally lead the army out of Sichuan to attack Wuchang to capture the Ming Emperor, how can he have the face to go back without any results, you must know that when he first proposed it, Li Dingguo's guy was fiercely opposed, and directly asserted that he would lose this battle, which made him endure this breath.

"Full speed ahead!" Luo Rucai ordered the army to speed up.

Half an hour later, the two armies met and confronted each other in an open area more than 2,000 meters apart, and a great battle was about to break out.

Luo Rucai had 2,000 cavalry, of which more than 200 were scouts.

"Array!" With a wave of Luo Rucai's hand, 100,000 blue-armored soldiers immediately opened their formations and prepared for a decisive battle.

The Great Western Army looked at the formation of the Ming Army on the opposite side was almost only more than half of them, and suddenly everyone showed disdain, the Great Western Army and the Ming Army have been at war for more than ten years, once fought all the way from Shaanxi to Henan, and then to Hunan and Hubei, and finally moved to Sichuan to establish the Great Western Kingdom, the Ming Army is synonymous with the scum of combat effectiveness in their eyes.

Therefore, the morale of the Great Western Army is high, and the heart is agitated, just waiting for the commander to give an order to rush over, I heard that the Ming Emperor is there, if you are lucky to catch the Ming Emperor, not to mention the promotion and wealth, it is possible to be a marquis.

On the other side, Zhu Cihong smiled lightly and pulled Huang Ying's smooth and delicate jade hand, as if he couldn't feel her slight struggle.

"You go back to the carriage, the battle will be very bloody, and you will be scared of a girl's family." Zhu Cihong let go of Huang Ying's hand and said softly.

Huang Ying was slightly stunned, her heartstrings fluctuated, it was very complicated, the emperor was concerned about her.

"I, I'm not afraid!" Huang Ying looked at Zhu Cihong and said firmly.

Zhu Cihong didn't force it, a pair of imperial beauties stood on the battlefield about to fight, talking and laughing, which made people feel proud.

"The emperor is too domineering!" Niu Yongsheng's blood was agitated, and the morale of the 4,000 Yinglong troops under his command climbed to the extreme, and even the 60,000 Hubei troops were boiling with the blood, and their morale improved a lot.

Ma Yue, who was dressed in white armor, was protected by Zhu Cihong's side, and at this time, she couldn't help but turn her head expressionlessly, hiding the redness of her cheeks, such a picture, presumably as long as she is a woman, I am afraid that she will feel a rippling heart, and she Ma Yue'e is no exception, but Ma Yue'e is in her twenties, and Zhu Cihong is nearly ten years old, but she will not fall into it because of this.

With the 100,000 Western Army in formation, the battlefield is full of battle clouds, and the big war is about to begin!

"Kill" Luo Rucai smiled disdainfully, drew his sword and pointed at it, and the army rushed to kill!

Luo Rucai did not press all the 100,000 troops under his command at one time, but only sent 50,000 troops to charge head-on, and he was ready to wait for the remaining 50,000 troops to be outflanked by both wings and cut off the retreat of the Ming Emperor.

"Kill" 50,000 big western troops wearing green armor shouted Kill Zhentian and rushed forward to kill.

The morale of the soldiers of the Great Western Army was high, their eyes were green, they only thought about capturing the Ming Emperor, and the speed of rushing and killing was very fast, and the momentum of 50,000 people exceeded the momentum of a group of fierce tigers descending the mountain, which was very terrifying!

"Array! Protect the Emperor! Niu Yongsheng led the four thousand Yinglong troops of the artillery battalion to protect Zhu Cihong.

"Kill" 60,000 soldiers of the Northern Army of the Ming Dynasty rushed forward to meet the battle!

When the two armies were separated by a hundred meters, the archers on both sides began to shoot arrows at each other, and there were thousands of archers on both sides, and the dense arrows were like rain, shooting at the group of soldiers who rushed to the front of the other side.

"Ahhh

Only the first round of arrow rain, both sides blessed more than 300 soldiers dead and wounded, extremely tragic, after two rounds of arrow rain, with the first soldier of the Great Western Army slashed a Ming soldier, the two armies fought together, the archers on both sides also stopped shooting, pulled out the saber at the waist to join the battle group.

50,000 against 60,000, although the number of soldiers of the Great Western Army is slightly smaller, but I have to say that Sun Kewang still has a set of troops, the Great Western Army does not fall behind, and after half an hour of fighting, it gradually suppresses the momentum of the 60,000 Hubei Army, and faintly wants to gain the upper hand.

Zhu Cihong's eyes narrowed slightly, he was not surprised at all by the combat power of the Great Western Army, after all, it had been developed with Zhang Xianzhong for more than ten years, and the 60,000 Hubei Army was originally a mixture of Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and 20,000 Beijing battalions, although they had also experienced several major battles, but their combat effectiveness was still much worse than Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army.

"Emperor Qiqi, the army led by Commander Zhou and Commander Huang has arrived two miles away from the battlefield and asked to fight!"

Zhou Cao's Second Army of Yinglong Army and Huang Degong's Third Army of Yinglong Army were ambushed on the left and right flanks, in order to avoid being detected by Sun Kewang at the beginning, they ambushed at five miles, waiting for the start of the war before slowly approaching, and at this moment they had come to the left and right flanks of the battlefield two miles, and they could participate in the battle at any time.

"Don't worry, let them wait for Luo Rucai's remaining 50,000 troops to attack together, and be sure to cut off the retreat of the 100,000 thief army and annihilate it in one fell swoop!" Zhu Cihong smiled bloodthirsty, he wanted to hurt Zhang Xianzhong in a battle, so that he would not dare to go out of Sichuan at will for a period of time in the future, and after defeating the first all-out southern invasion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he would destroy Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop after waving his troops into Sichuan.

Luo Rucai rode on the war horse, staring at the battlefield, seeing that his side was gradually gaining the upper hand with inferior forces, and suddenly showed a sneer, these ordinary soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are still so poor in combat effectiveness, they are not opponents at all! The little emperor is the little emperor, a teenage little hairy child, thinking that he defeated Zuo Liangyu's waste material, he became arrogant, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, or not, General Ben will capture you to the Great West Kingdom and give you a lesson that you will never forget!

"Outflank the left and right flanks of the army and capture the Ming Emperor!" Luo Rucai pointed his sword and launched the final decisive battle, in addition to leaving a thousand personal soldiers to protect himself, the remaining 50,000 troops were divided into two parts, like dumplings, towards the 60,000 Ming soldiers on the battlefield and the Ming Emperor behind.
