Chapter Twenty-Five: Defeat is like a mountain

Ding Qirui didn't know that he couldn't help but think too well and look up to himself too much. He had no idea what a situation it would be like for tens of thousands of troops to collapse once they could.

He soon saw it, though.

The sun has not yet risen in the east, and it is still only the whiteness of the fish's belly. The gate of Zhuxian Town was opened, and tens of thousands of cavalry, from different camps, lined up, one by one, one by one, mighty, like an endless wave, under the command of a black flag, headed to the southeast.

A full 50,000 cavalry is the absolute main force of the Chuang Camp and the Cao Battalion.

"Report." A cavalryman galloped over, and under the banner, he rolled his saddle and fell off his horse and said: "King Chuang, the official army is divided into two groups, one is Zuo Liangyu, which is now in the southeast direction, and the other group is crossing the Shahe River. ”

Li Zicheng said: "The brigade is chasing after Zuo Liangyu, Brother Luo, is your Li Rugui on the west bank of the Shahe River?" ”

Luo Rucai said: "He crossed the river yesterday, and he has not yet reached the other side of the official army. ”

Li Zicheng said: "In this way, the official army that pursued and crossed the river was handed over to Cao Ying." I led a large group of men and horses to pursue Zuo Liangyu, how about it? ”

Luo Rucai said: "Okay." ”

Without further ado, Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng immediately divided their troops, Luo Rucai led the cavalry of his headquarters and rushed to the officers and troops who were crossing the Shahe River, but Li Zicheng did not stop and chased to the southeast.

Luo Rucai immediately ordered Luo Yulong to lead the cavalry to the east bank of the Shahe River, while Luo Rucai sat behind.

The sand river of this matter has become a mess.

Ding Qirui stood by the river in a daze, except for more than 100 people who were close to him, no one listened to his orders, he said: "This, this, how can this be?" ”

Ding Qirui ordered the retreat last night, only a little later than Zuo Liangyu, but after the generals returned to their camps, the army was in chaos. Ding Qirui was originally in the middle of the Sand River, and he had prepared enough boats to build a pontoon bridge, which was not difficult.

But I never expected that things would develop to this point.

The boats used to build the pontoon bridge were actually robbed by the various departments as ferries, and even in order to grab the boats, the various departments fought each other, Ding Qirui had no choice but to bring the chief military officers over to mediate, and it was easy to mediate, but the ministries were unwilling to donate the boats of their headquarters to build the pontoon bridge. Unless they are allowed to go first.

Ding Qirui had no choice but to allow each department to cross the river separately, and the speed dropped down at once. It was noisy until dawn, and not many people crossed the sand river.

At this time, the rebel army came out of the camp, and as soon as the galloping formation of tens of thousands of cavalry came out, the entire battlefield was suddenly shrouded in fear, which was not very smooth

's command system collapsed in an instant, and no one listened to Ding Qirui's orders at all, except for the more than 100 personal soldiers around him.

The rest of the people are grabbing boats, fighting for ferries, and even some of them are good at water, swimming directly across the Sand River.

"Kill." Luo Yulong was in high spirits, with the Cao Ying horse team, rushed to the forefront, where he passed, there was no enemy, and even the officials and soldiers had no intention of organizing resistance at all, just ran away, but two legs, how could they run over four legs, either they were killed by horses, or they were hacked to death from behind, and what was even worse was that they fell to the ground, were stepped on by countless feet, and then stepped on by countless horses' hooves, and when everyone passed, there was only a ball of blood and mud, and there was nothing left.

The officers and soldiers who were already panicked were driven by Cao Ying, and the people behind rushed forward like crazy, and the people behind pushed the people in front of them, as if they were dumplings, and jumped into the sand river.

Suddenly, the surface of the Sand River seemed to be boiled, and there were countless splashes of water, all of which were people struggling in the Sand River.

Among these people, some people can swim, and some people can't swim, but now there is no difference between swimming and not swimming, and on the dense surface of the river, people are crowded one by one, and even those who can swim can't show their hands and feet, and are dragged down by those who can't swim.

Even someone in the water moved his blade. Clouds of blood poured out of the river, rendering large swaths of the river red.

"How so, how so?" Ding Qirui was frightened by the appearance around him.

At this moment, Ding Qirui is sitting on a boat, the boat is not big, there are only a dozen people around him, they stand one by one, standing on the side of the boat, some people want to pick up the boat, they have cut it, even if it is a person with an oar, it is also extremely ruthless, the hardwood oar in his hand, smashed it down, every time it falls, it will bloom from the surface of the water.

Where this boat passed, on the Sand River, a bloody path was opened.

Luo Yulong rushed the most urgently, a large number of officers and soldiers surrendered to Luo Yulong, Luo Yulong did not have time to surrender, but let the soldiers behind him surrender, he took his own soldiers to rush to the bank of the Shahe River, and saw that the road was such a scene, countless corpses floated above the water people, and went southeast with the water.

Even Luo Yulong, who was accustomed to life and death, couldn't help but sigh and said, "The fish in Shahe will be very fat next year." ”

The pursuit on Luo Yulong's side is over, and the pursuit on Li Rugui's side has just begun.

"Quick, quick, quick." Li Rugui shouted loudly, and the brigade came south along the Shahe River.

Li Rugui only felt unlucky.

As Cao Ying's strength became bigger and bigger, Luo Rucai's Buying, which was not taken seriously, was also taken seriously. And the way Luo Rucai attaches importance to it is

Choosing a capable person to go to the infantry camp, Li Rugui was selected from the horse team and led the infantry team.

As far as Li Rugui is concerned, he is quite reluctant.

For Li Rugui, he was born in the border army, and since he was a four-legged child, he looked down on two-legged. He was so good, but he made it like this all at once, how willing he was. However, he also knew that whether he wanted it or not, he would not dare to disobey Luo Rucai's orders.

That's it.

But he didn't expect that his first battle was to intercept from the river, and as soon as he crossed the river here, the officers and soldiers over there ran away. Li Rugui could only chase urgently. And he is quite disdainful of the speed of the infantry team, if he is still in the horse team, dozens of miles away, but half a day's effort, he can catch up, where to catch up for such a long time.

When Li Rugui's soldiers were running out of breath, Li Rugui finally discovered the traces of the official army.

Li Rugui said secretly: "It's not good, the strength of the officers and soldiers is above me." ”

Li Rugui's troops were not much, but in terms of thousands of people, and in the march, many people fell behind, so there were even fewer, Li Rugui found that the soldiers and soldiers who crossed the river were at least 10,000 people, although they were messy, but the number of people was still above him.

Just when Li Rugui was trying to find a way to redeem it, he only heard countless shouts from the side of the officials and soldiers, "The thieves are coming, the thieves are coming." "For a moment I ran south like crazy. No matter how much those generals urged, no matter how much they threatened, no matter how much they issued rewards, no one dared to return to the division to fight.

This is the frightened bird, defeated out of the psychological shadow.

Ding Qirui was defeated again and again, and he was inexplicably defeated, and he went to Runing in embarrassment. Luo Rucai has already moved into Shuibo Town.

Ji Jue hurriedly came and said: "My lord, it is a big victory, I think it is a big victory, among the official and military camps that have been occupied, there are tens of thousands of stones of food, countless weapons, tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, and this harvest can withstand the consumption of my Cao camp for several months." ”

Luo Rucai didn't expect it.

No matter how easy it was for Luo Rucai to discuss with Li Zicheng when he went south, Luo Rucai never thought that this battle could be easily fought, such as the battle of Xiangcheng, where the two sides chased me and fled, so that after more than a month, Li Zicheng seized the opportunity and defeated Fu Zonglong in one fell swoop.

Luo Rucai's battle, even if it can be defeated, it will take a while.

But he didn't expect that after the righteous army entered Zhuxian Town, it was only five or six days.

In five or six days, tens of thousands of elites of the official army fought almost no vicious battles, and they were wiped out like this? What made Luo Rucai happy, he almost couldn't believe that this battle was real. After learning about the inside story of the officials and soldiers among the captives, Luo Ru had to sigh: people can be so stupid.
