Song Wen received the news of Liu Zeqing's retreat, and constantly urged the soldiers to storm to prevent the Ming army from fleeing across the river to the north.

Li Ji found that the situation was not right, the soldiers of the seventh battalion completely gave up their rifles and broke through the large camp of the Ming army with waist knives, which was less than half an hour......

Do you have to keep the original agreement?

According to the previous agreement, the seventh battalion should be given half an hour, by which time the large camp of the Ming army may have been completely breached......

Could it be that the military exploits of breaking through the Ming army camp were all left to the first battalion?

Li Ji was really unwilling, it was also half an hour, the seventh battalion was helpless, but the fourth battalion was full of merit and opinion!

No, Li Ji quickly denied it, the fourth battalion had attacked for half an hour, if there was no consumption during this time, plus the Ming army had no time to eat and drink, and was in a state of extreme fatigue, otherwise the seventh battalion would have succeeded so easily?

He drove out the soldiers who were resting in the shade of the trees, "Stop resting, immediately plunge into the battle, assist the brothers of the seventh battalion, take the Ming army camp as soon as possible, and end the battle!" ”

Liu Zongmin smiled on their faces, the general is letting them go to the battlefield to pick up military merits in vain, and the camp of the Ming army can't be saved......

The fourth battalion rested for a while, and it was more ferocious than the soldiers of the seventh battalion, plus the Ming army with rifles and no shield protection, how could it resist?

The 4th Battalion and the 7th Battalion combined their forces and routed the Qianhu who remained behind, and chased them all the way to the dock.

Liu Zeqing still fled back to the north shore by boat, but the Mandate of Heaven army pursued very quickly, and the soldiers who fled back to the north shore with Liu Zeqing were less than two thousand households.

The battle was over, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, and the Ming army left behind a large amount of armor, weapons, and property, as well as a lot of food, perhaps these grains were originally transported to Kaifeng City, and now they have become the military rations of the Mandate of Heaven.

There were not many captured soldiers, except for the wounded and killed, there were no more than 1,000 prisoners of war, these soldiers knew that Liu Zeqing had run away and he was abandoned, so in desperation, he knelt down and surrendered.

Li Zicheng destroyed the camp of the Ming army, maybe the Ming army will cross the river to reinforce Kaifeng, there are many landing points along the river, and it is impossible for the Mandate of Heaven to station soldiers at every landing point, so they can only send rangers to patrol along the embankment.

That night, Li Zicheng convened a meeting of the battalion commanders, as well as Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, to sum up the combat experience and discuss the next operational plan.

First of all, about the prisoners of war, in the battle outside Kaifeng City, the Mandate of Heaven Army captured six or seven thousand prisoners of war, plus the batch of Zhujiazhai, the total number was close to eight thousand.

However, Li Zicheng found that many of them were cavalry, and the 5,000 cavalry in the city had been wiped out with the surrender of the guerrilla general Gao Qian, and the captured cavalry was close to 3,000.

It takes a lot of time to train a cavalry, much longer than the infantry, and Li Zicheng has already set his sights on this part of the cavalry.

Soldiers were drawn from these cavalry to supplement the battle losses of the first battalion, and there were more than 2,000 people left, and it happened that in this capture, there were also thousands of war horses, and Li Zicheng formed the third regiment for the first battalion, with Gao Qian as the head of the regiment and the rank of a thousand households.

The third regiment only had two thousand cavalry, but in order to expand in the future, Li Zicheng asked Liu Yunshui and Gao Qian to select three thousand soldiers from the prisoners of war, conduct drill training first, and then officially organize them when there are enough war horses in the future.

In this battle, the battle losses of the first battalion were not only replenished, but also the establishment of a regiment was added, which had already thrown Li Guobu of the second battalion far away, he didn't care about participating in the military meeting, and he had no intention of fighting for merit, so he directly took Gao Qian to select soldiers among the prisoners of war.

The remaining prisoners of war, after the end of the meeting, each battalion according to the battle damage, selected from among the prisoners of war, there may be two or three thousand prisoners of war left, will be classified into the young strong, reduced to the miscellaneous service of the Mandate of Heaven, temporarily with the arrival of the original young strong, in Kaifeng Mansion outside the city of cultivated land.

In the subsequent exchange of experience, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance did not directly command the operation, and could only make a record on the side, the commanders of each battalion had military exploits, and they were all leaders with a way, Li Xin's "semi-encirclement", Gao Ligong's "layer by layer advancement", especially the commander of the seventh battalion, Song Wen, in order to deal with the shield of the Ming army, creatively put down his rifle and used a waist knife to break through Liu Zeqing's battalion.

There is no most suitable weapon, only the most suitable method.

When evaluating the merits of the battle, most of the commanders of the battalion headquarters had no opinions, and only Li Ji had a dispute with Song Wen.

Song Wen means that the military exploits of breaking through Liu Zeqing's battalion should belong to the seventh battalion; Li Ji believes that this military merit should be shared by the first battalion and the fourth battalion, considering that the seventh battalion took the lead in entering the Ming army camp, the combat exploits are mainly based on the seventh battalion, but the military merits of the fourth battalion are also indelible.

Song Wen naturally refused to agree to such remarks, "General Li, we have an appointment in advance, half an hour, if the seventh battalion can't take the Ming army's camp, we will work together to attack the Ming army's camp, and when the time comes, the military merits of the Ming army's camp will naturally be shared by you and me, but General Li, for the sake of military merit, actually violated the agreement between you and me, and launched an attack on the Ming army's camp without authorization, disrupting the seventh battalion's prior planning and deployment......"

Li Ji said angrily: "We have an agreement, but at this time, the situation at that time, although the seventh battalion broke through the camp of the Ming army, Liu Zeqing has already led his troops to retreat, if he can't quickly break through the broken Ming army, most of the Ming army will flee back to the north bank with him, although Liu Zeqing is defeated, the loss will not be too great......

Li Zicheng watched coldly, although he kept a smile on his face, he didn't speak, Li Xin, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, and Gao Ligong, although they had their own opinions, but after all, they were relatively young, and the time to join the Heavenly Mandate Army was much later, and they just listened on the side, and they didn't interject.

Song Wen has always been calm and is not a person who likes to take advantage, but in today's battle, Li Ji first calculated him, and later took the initiative to join in when the seventh battalion broke through the Ming army camp, obviously to grab military merits, and he was also a little angry.

Calm and calm people generally don't get angry, once they get angry, it's for real, Song Wen raised his hand, pointed at Li Ji's nose, and said angrily: "General Li, the agreement at that time gave the fourth battalion half an hour first, but the fourth battalion did not break through the large camp of the Ming army......"

Don't hit people in the face, don't dig up graves when you insult people!

Song Wen's meaning is to give you half an hour first, but the fourth battalion did not break through the camp of the Ming army, and when the seventh battalion took the camp of the Ming army, Li Ji came to fight for military merits, which is almost a shameless scolding of Li Ji!

"You ......" Sure enough, Li Ji was already furious when he heard Song Wen's words, he quickly stood up, and also pointed at Song Wen with trembling fingers, "When the fourth battalion attacked, it was already noon, and the soldiers were tired and hungry, but the seventh battalion was recuperating on the side, and by the time the seventh battalion went out to fight, the Ming army was already at the end of its strength...... If it weren't for the fourth battalion dragging down the Ming army and allowing the Ming army to fight continuously, the seventh battalion would be able to easily break through the Ming army's large battalion? ”

Song Wen snorted coldly, and was about to say something to fight back, but was stopped by Li Zicheng.

If there is a contradiction in strategy, it is a common thing in the army, but Li Ji and Song Wen are obviously two angry bulls, and they even use personal attacks, which is obviously not the kind of discussion that is usually said.

Li Zicheng glanced at the two of them, pointed at Li Xin and them, and said indifferently: "The two old generals have followed the governor of Pontus since Xining, right?" Do you want these juniors to see jokes? ”

"This ......"

"The subordinates don't dare!"

"Is there anything else you don't dare? This is a military meeting, not a vegetable market," Li Zicheng said coldly: "Today's military meeting is to discuss the gains and losses of the battle, and military merits are still secondary, mainly to review the deficiencies in the war. ”

"The Grand Duke, the subordinates know their mistakes......"

"Subordinate...... The subordinates are really confused......"

Li Zicheng snorted coldly: "It seems that the shortcomings in this review of the battle will be jointly written by the two of you!" ”

Li Ji and Song Wen glanced at each other, and they both arched their hands and said, "Subordinates receive orders!" ”

Li Zicheng's complexion changed, but his tone was still very stern, "You are all tens of thousands of commanders, don't you understand that military merit is mainly for soldiers, and it is they who shed blood and sacrificed at the front line, if you can't give them fair treatment, will soldiers be at ease and make meritorious contributions?" The imperial court originally had two million soldiers, but its combat effectiveness was ...... Don't you understand? How have you educated the soldiers during these years of rectification? ”

……

"The imperial court has not yet been overthrown, our goal has not been fully achieved, you have begun to fight among yourself, who can trust whom on the battlefield in the future? The original intention of the Mandate of Heaven to advocate 'coordinated operations', have you veterans forgotten? ”

"The Governor ......"

"The soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army are not anyone's private soldiers, but subordinate to the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion," Li Zicheng continued: "The Heavenly Mandate Army is here to save the people of the world and the people, not a tool for anyone to fight for power and profit!" ”

Such words are already quite harsh, indicating that Li Zicheng is already very angry.

If such a problem occurs among soldiers and officers who surrendered temporarily, it may still be excusable, but Li Ji and Song Wen were the first to follow him and have always been one of the supreme commanders of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

"Metropolitan Governor, subordinates really know that they are wrong......" Li Ji and Song Wen glanced at each other, and they both left their seats and knelt down in front of Li Zicheng.

"Get up!" Li Zicheng said coldly: "Even if the battlefield is lost, the governor of Pontus can understand it, but the ideological problem is the most terrible, you are all old men of the Heavenly Mandate Army, you know the Heavenly Mandate Army best, and you should set an example for young people, now, you go back immediately and sum up the gains and losses of this battle!" ”

Li Ji and Song Wen both understood that the Metropolitan Governor had canceled the opportunity for them to discuss the next battle plan of the Heavenly Mandate Army, so they kowtowed to Li Zicheng and walked out of Li Zicheng's Chinese army tent in a gloomy manner.

In Kaifeng City, Gao Mingheng also convened civil and military officials to discuss the defense of Kaifeng City, this time the officers and soldiers went out of the city to meet Liu Zeqing, who crossed the Yellow River, not only failed to receive reinforcements into the city, but also lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and the defensive situation in the city suddenly became severe.
