All kinds of news are synthesized, Zuo Liangyu judged that Zhang Xianzhong's army was indeed storming Nanyang City, Nanyang City was in danger, Zuo Liangyu could not watch Nanyang City fall, if Nanyang City fell into the hands of Zhang Xianzhong, the life and death of King Tang would be worried, and Chongzhen would probably not be able to get over it on his face, and he would definitely be killed.

Zuo Liangyu slapped the table and said, "The army is ready to cross the river immediately!" ”

Zuo Mengeng saw that his father had finally decided, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and he was eager to try: "Father, let me be a pioneer!" I'll cross the river first! ”

"Major General, no!" Ma Liangwen and Chen Zhibang opposed it at the same time.

Zuo Liangyu glanced at Zuo Mengeng, and said angrily: "You just stay by my side honestly!" ”

Zuo Liangyu decided to cross the river, and the army immediately began to board the boat in an orderly manner, all of which was in the eyes of Li Dingguo on the other side of the river, Liu Wenxiu also saw the movement of the Ming army on the other side, and became excited, "It's moving, it's moving, it's finally moving!" ”

"The army is ready, when Zuo Liangyu's army is halfway through, attack and send spies to inform General Sun's army to move south quickly!" Li Dingguo ordered.

The 40,000 army all moved, the black pressure was pressed, on the blocked river, those civilian boats were full of people, and began to transport soldiers across the river, an hour later, Zuo Liangyu's army had crossed the river with almost 10,000 people, these people quickly set up a guard on the other side of the river, and the scene in front of him made Li Dingguo respectful, Zuo Liangyu was really a general, and it was no accident that he was able to defeat the eight kings many times.

Li Dingguo's eyes were full of cold killing intent, there were already more than 10,000 people, he felt that it was time, if there were too many people crossing the river, and these people would fight against the water, Liu Wenxiu's army might not be able to win.

"General Liu, it's time, order the army to attack!"

"Okay, soldiers, follow me and kill it!" Liu Wenxiu stood up, shouted at the peasant army lying on the ground behind him, and then rushed out first.

When Zuo Liangyu's army had only crossed the river with 10,000 people, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu suddenly led the army to kill, and Zuo Liangyu's army was not chaotic, but consolidated and held its position by the river.

"Oh no, father, there's an ambush!" Zuo Menggeng is in a hurry!

"Hmph, half-crossing, is my Zuo Liangyu so easy to defeat? Quick, let everyone cross the river, the troops on the other side of the river will not be able to support it for long. Zuo Mengeng was anxious, but Zuo Liangyu was very calm, seeing that the soldiers who had crossed the river were being besieged, he was also worried, but fortunately, they had already gained a firm foothold and would not be defeated for a while.

"Father, there are many thieves, I think we should retreat!" Zuo Mengeng suggested that although the soldiers on the opposite side occupied part of the place on the other side of the river, they had no way to retreat, and they would be eaten sooner or later, and the most important thing was that many of Zuo Liangyu's soldiers were also composed of peasants, all of whom were miscellaneous troops, and they were easily defeated, Zuo Mengeng was not determined and was afraid.

"No, there are more than 10,000 of my soldiers over there, there are not many thieves and soldiers, we will cross the water and fight against the water, we will definitely be able to win all, those people are just a rabble! Soldiers, cross the river quickly, the army crosses the river, and we will win! Zuo Liangyu insisted that at such a critical time, he could not have the slightest hesitation.

On the west bank of the river, the battle situation is scorching, although Zuo Liangyu's troops have set up a foot formation, but Liu Wenxiu is too fierce, Liu Wenxiu is holding a big knife, and taking his own soldiers all the way into Zuo Liangyu's foot formation, killing Zuo Liangyu's foot formation began to riot, and on the periphery, Li Dingguo is also commanding the army to attack the weak point of Zuo Liangyu's army, he can see clearly, where the weakness is to specialize, now these people are fighting against the water, the most important thing is morale, as long as they beat the morale of the Ming army on the west bank of the river, this army will collapse, And the best way to demoralize the army is to attack the weak points and let the crowds start fleeing!

Although the Ming army on the west bank of the river was in a weak position, they were very resilient, they did not collapse, and the reason why they were so resilient was because behind them, there were constantly troops landing on the shore, and there were more and more of them. The situation between the two sides was at a stalemate for a while.

Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed, but Li Dingguo was in a hurry, and the strength was evenly matched, which meant that the righteous army lost. Li Dingguo looked at the north on the other side of the river, anxious in his heart, looking forward to the early appearance of Sun Kewang's army.

"Report, Lord Commander, there are 20,000 thieves from the north who appear two miles away and are rushing towards me!" The spy said.

Just after he was still fantasizing about preparing to cross the river and fight Li Dingguo to the death, Sun Kewang, who crossed the river upstream, came over with 20,000 people and attacked Zuo Liangyu directly.

"Father, get out of the way! We lost! Zuo Mengeng heard that there was another army coming from the north, and shouted loudly! Zuo Liangyu is next to Zuo Mengeng, there are many generals around him, and his son's loud voice has made many people hear it, and Zuo Liangyu's face is black.

Bang, Zuo Liangyu's backhand was a slap, which made Zuo Menggeng's face hurt hotly, Zuo Mengeng didn't understand why his father suddenly hit him, his eyes were full of shock and fear.

"Lord Commander!" Ma Liangwen and Chen Zhibang said distressedly.

"Bastard thing, there is only the general soldier here, there is no father, at the critical moment when the two armies are fighting, what is the purpose of you shouting so much that our army will lose and shake the morale of the army? Do you really think that if you are my only son, Lao Tzu will not dare to kill you? Zuo Liangyu scolded viciously and loudly.

"Adjutant General Ma, order you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, and 2,000 elite cavalry to you, and go to intercept the enemy army in the north! The others were ready to cross the river in full. Zuo Liangyu ordered that the cavalry was elite, but the cavalry crossing the river was a trouble, so Zuo Liangyu decided to send his most precious cavalry to snipe the enemy in the north.

"Yes, General!" Ma Liangwen received the order and immediately led the army north to meet Sun Kewang.

Many people are worried that Zuo Liangyu's decision will bury this army, and they feel that it is time to abandon the Ming army on the west bank of the river and preserve its strength. Of course, Zuo Liangyu knew that the situation was critical now, but he still chose to gamble, because he saw that the troops on the other side of the river had firmly gained the upper hand, and as long as he strengthened his confidence and sent more troops over, the battle on the other side of the river could be won. As for Ma Liangwen's side, 10,000 infantry plus 2,000 elite cavalry should be more than enough to deal with 20,000 thieves.

When Sun Kewang's army appeared on the north side of the east bank of the river, the Ming army did not have the panic and rout that Li Dingguo imagined, Zuo Liangyu was Zuo Liangyu after all, he was a person who climbed up by thorough military exploits, not an ordinary straw bale general. This determination and self-confidence are really admirable.

Liu Wenxiu led the team to fight, but he found that he could not attack now, and the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and now it seemed that the offensive and defensive situation was changing, and Zuo Liangyu's troops seemed to be counterattacking him.

Li Dingguo was anxious, there was only a fiasco if it went on like this, he looked at the other side of the river, and suddenly found that a large number of Ming troops began to move north, and judged in his heart that this was sent by Zuo Liangyu to snipe and intercept Sun Kewang, as a general, this is easy to judge, but those soldiers who are mixed in the crowd may not be able to know what is going on, Li Dingguo suddenly had a plan.

He quickly organized the hundred people around him, and began to shout in unison: "The Ming army on the other side of the river has fled!" The Ming army on the other side of the river has fled! The Ming army on the other side of the river has fled! ”

The soldiers of the Ming army on the west bank of the river were densely packed together, they didn't have time to pay attention to the situation of the entire battlefield at all, they didn't even know that there was Sun Kewang's army coming on the north side of the river, when they heard that the general on the other side of the river had fled and wanted to abandon them, they all doubted, they began to look back to see what was going on the other side of the river, and when they turned back, they really saw a team of 10,000 people going north, and the most important thing was that there were elite cavalry, they all knew it, The cavalry is Zuo Liangyu's baby, the cavalry has run away, and Zuo Liangyu and other deputy generals of the general army must have run away with the cavalry.

In an instant, the entire Ming army began to collapse, everyone desperately ran back, people trampled on people, people squeezed people, those generals and other generals, although they wanted to control the troops, but everyone agreed that when the general soldiers fled, everyone wanted to escape, how to control it!

Seeing that the troops on the west bank began to move, Zuo Liangyu's face changed dramatically in an instant, and he said: "It's over, the morale is gone, and I've lost!" ”

Zuo Liangyu stared at the movement on the other side of the river, but then, his army really had a riot, and the formation was in chaos, and then many people began to jump into the river, and the thieves began to counterattack.

"Quick, rescue the soldiers on the other side of the river and in the water, and save as many as you can!" Zuo Liangyu was really anxious.

Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to cross the river anymore at this time, and if he insisted on crossing the river, let alone being eaten by the thieves on the other side of the river, he would simply go over, and there were soldiers diving everywhere on the surface of the river.

"Surrender or die!" A hundred shouted again.

Many Ming troops have jumped into the water, but there are still thousands of people still on land, they have no escape, they can only fight to the death, at this time heard the thieves say surrender to avoid death, many people consciously gave up resistance, kneeling to surrender, after all, people have the desire to survive!

The tide is over!

"Retreat, retreat! Let Ma Liangwen come back! Zuo Liangyu shouted.

After Li Dingguo cleaned up the battlefield, he quickly crossed the river, joined Sun Kewang's two armies, and pursued Zuo Liangyu along the road.

After Zuo Liangyu lost more than 10,000 people, he fled south to Tang County, and Li Dingguo Sun Kewang led the peasant army to surround Zuo Liangyu in Tang County.

"Hey, I'm careless, now I'm surrounded by the army of thieves, and I can only wait for reinforcements!" Zuo Liangyu regretted not being at the beginning, and he was heartbroken, he lost more than 10,000 people at once, and he was also deeply killed!

"General, this thief is too cunning, but I believe that the imperial army will soon rush to the road, and when the army arrives, the thief will naturally retreat!" Chen Zhibang comforted.

"Father...... Commander-in-Chief! Zuo Mengeng wanted to comfort his father, but he didn't know what to say.

Zuo Liangyu said worriedly: "But we can't hold out for long, there is not enough food and grass, I don't know if someone will come to save us, this may be my Zuo Liangyu's place of death!" ”
