Chapter Seventy-Two: Living Up to the King

At this moment, a few miles east of the battlefield, there was a small hill, Luo Rucai climbed high and looked, but saw smoke and dust billowing eastward, faintly shouting to kill. The sound travels miles away.

Luo Yulong, Wang Long, the Yang brothers, and the generals of all sizes in the Cao camp are all here, watching the battlefield from afar.

Zhang Xuan was even more nervous.

"It shouldn't be." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "It's not the defeat of Sun Chuanting's persimmon garden. I've inquired carefully, and there is no place called Persimmon Garden at all. Have I changed history? ”

Zhang Xuan has been trying to correct the fall of history.

In fact, he didn't know that he had changed a lot. But now, if Li Zicheng is defeated by Sun Chuanting here, the history that Zhang Xuan is familiar with will be deflected in the other direction.

For a while, Zhang Xuan had a sense of fear.

It's like Ye Gong is a good dragon.

Zhang Xuan has always wanted to change history, but the major nodes in history are really going to change, and Zhang Xuan seems to have lost his support and has become a source of gains. At this time, how did you hear Luo Rucai's question, "What do you think we should do now?" ”

"It's better to decide with the palm of your hand." Everyone looked at each other and said in unison.

Luo Rucai has a very high prestige in Cao Ying, and there is nothing to decide in the current scene, but whether to save or not, such a big thing, they can't say anything.

Luo Rucai looked at Luo Yulong and said, "Yulong, what do you think?" ”

Luo Yulong said without thinking: "Immediately send troops to save King Chuang." ”

Luo Rucai had some disappointment in his eyes and said, "That's all." ”

Luo Yulong said a little as a matter of course: "The brothers who broke into the camp are fighting to the death, how can we sit here and watch the success or failure." Luo Yulong clenched his hand tightly, and a green tendon burst out of his arm.

Disappointment flashed in Luo Rucai's eyes. Then he asked Zhang Xuan: "Based on this, what do you think should be done?" ”

"I --, my --, I don't know." Zhang Xuan was a little distracted, and was a little bit distracted by Luo Rucai, and stammered.

Zhang Xuan has already thought that Li Zicheng's death, Luo Rucai's interests are the greatest, even if the camp is defeated, Luo Rucai will unify the defeated soldiers, there will be 100,000 people, enough to dominate one side, so that of course he has lost the prophet of history, and then everything will depend on Zhang Xuan's own hard work. But it's a good start.

But in terms of the rebel army as a whole.

If Li Zicheng died, the rebels would be hit hard. I am afraid that it was not the righteous army sweeping the north, but the situation when the righteous army and the official army were entangled, and the eastern captives broke through the pass and went south.

Among them, the pros and cons can be calculated for a while.

This is just on top of the overall situation, for Luo Rucai, there are also many problems, and the biggest problem is the collapse of the personality.

Luo Rucai has always been mixed in the rivers and lakes with the image of righteous Bo Yuntian, and all the righteous armies respect Luo Rucai, just because Luo Rucai never stabs the knife secretly, and he will not see death without help, even if one person is defeated and takes refuge in Luo Rucai, Luo Rucai will also give funding and let them rise up.

And today's pit of Li Zicheng, for Luo Rucai, the benefits are big or the disadvantages are big, Zhang Xuan really doesn't know, all kinds of interests are tangled together. And Zhang Xuan thought that today was a big victory, and he never thought that there would be such a situation.

Luo Rucai was a little satisfied with Zhang Xuan's answer, and a little desperate for Luo Yulong's answer.

Luo Rucai will definitely save Li Zicheng.

Luo Rucai didn't think so much, it was very simple brotherly righteousness, never negative, his vision was better than Zhang Xuan and others, he could see that the speed of Li Zicheng's retreat was not normal, if Li Zicheng chose not to resist and fled first, the battle between the two sides should be one chase and one escape, one thousand miles.

But that's not the case now.

There is only one reason that can explain all this, that is, Li Zicheng has not given up and is still fighting.

Luo Rucai thought about it for a while, and understood that Li Zicheng waited for him Cao Cao, and with this, he Luo Rucai would not die without help.

But it's not that Luo Rucai doesn't know about the entanglement of interests behind this.

Luo Rucai heard from Luo Yulong's words that Luo Yulong didn't think of it at all, while Zhang Xuan weighed the pros and cons too much and thought too much. He sighed slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "Yulong is not a piece of material to be the leader, and it is impossible to take my position." ”

It's not right to think too much, but it's even more foolish to think about nothing.

"Dad, didn't you save Uncle Li?" Luo Yulong didn't understand his father's heart and asked.

"Why don't you save it." Luo Rucai also gave up teaching Luo Yulong, and said: "But you can't chase like you, you can save like this, you can only put Cao Ying in." ”

"By virtue of it." Luo Rucai asked, "You have 5,000 people in your hands now?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Xuan said.

Luo Rucai didn't seem to pay attention to Zhang Xuan, but he knew everything about Cao Ying, and no one could hide it from him.

"I'm going to send you down the mountain to fight in order to break into the camp and block the pursuers, I will buy time, do you dare?" Luo Rucai said.

Zhang Xuan gasped.

He looked down and saw that the camp had retreated faster, almost to the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Xuan couldn't see how many people there were, but he knew very well that they must be above twenty or thirty thousand horsemen. plus the coerced rout of the camp. There is even a kind of avalanche trend, and Zhang Xuan understands very well that his subordinates are actually very tired.

Most of the people who broke into the camp and Cao Ying here were cavalry, and the infantry was left behind.

The reason why Zhang Xuan is here is because Zhang Xuan's troops have a good ability to march. But at the speed of the marching of the infantry, chasing behind the cavalry, against the soldiers

The physical exertion is not small.

"Why don't you dare?" Zhang Xuan almost spurted out these words from between his teeth.

Because Zhang Xuan knew that he didn't look at Luo Rucai to be polite, in fact, on the battlefield, there was no room for bargaining.

"Okay." Luo Rucai said: "Your troops are in formation, and order the camp to bypass your formation, repair in the back, block the pursuing soldiers in the camp, and give the camp a time to repair, and the main force of my Cao camp will bypass that and attack the enemy directly." ”

Luo Rucai pointed his finger and pointed to a hill next to this and said.

This is the southern foot of Shenyuan Mountain, although almost all of it is flat, but there are still large and small hills and highlands. Although it is not tall, it is still possible to block the figure of the cavalry. Luo Rucai's meaning is very simple, that is, it is not as good as a direct confrontation between the officers and the army, so he will naturally bypass and be caught off guard by the officials and troops.

Defeat with deception against real defeat, and ambush against side attack, it is simply the same as what heroes see.

"How long am I going to hold on?" Zhang Xuan said.

"I don't know." Luo Rucai said: "I have to give you a time, that is, before you die." ”

"Okay." Zhang Xuan's eyes looked around, and if he didn't start, he didn't even have time to line up, and said. Turn around and go,

"Take care." Luo Yulong patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder.

They didn't have time to say goodbye any more, and they began to go their separate ways.

After all, on the battlefield, time is of the essence.

Zhang Xuan originally wanted to have a hearty victory, but instead ushered in a big defeat that was turned upside down and was not recorded in the history books. really caught Zhang Xuan off guard, and at this moment, he had to arrange a task that was almost certain to death.

Zhang Xuan also knew that it was not that Luo Rucai did not take care of him, but that in the current situation, Luo Rucai really had no room to take care of him. Whoever let Luo Rucai have his hands at hand, only his infantry army, who let Zhang Xuan's troops run too fast.

In this battle, although the large armies used by both sides exceeded 100,000, most of the cavalry who had joined the battlefield were cavalry, and there were about 100,000 in total.

The rebels had a lot of troops left behind, and the officers had a lot of troops bluffing. Or on the periphery. Didn't come in handy.

But even so, this is already the biggest fight Zhang Xuan has ever seen. Not to mention anything else, the battlefield stretched for miles and rushed all the way along the official road.

"Hopefully I'll survive." Zhang Xuan strode down the mountain, pushed away the horses and came to Zhang Xuan's headquarters, and ordered to gather, and then Zhang Xuan looked at all the familiar faces and said, "Brothers, follow me." ”

There was no mobilization order, and there were no impassioned speeches.

War and death always come so unexpectedly. People don't have time to boost morale, they don't have time to be impassioned, they don't even have time to write a suicide note, they just go up and fill it in.
