Luo Rucai was horrified.

He knew that he was in huge trouble now, and the other party really had a trap!

What shocked him the most was the terrain and environment here, which was originally extremely unsuitable for setting traps, but the officers and soldiers just used more than ten carts and a bunch of wire rings to set up a killing game!

The wire ring was obviously not so easy to break through, and if it was a disciplined army, it could be torn apart by manpower regardless of sacrifice, but it would be too difficult for the rogues to do so.

After discovering that he was ambushed, the rogues became a mess, and all Luo Ru could restrain was the dozens of horsemen around him. In the volley of muskets, the rogues were horrified to find that their companions had fallen in rows, and in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred people could not get up again.

In the era of cold weapons, the army that can inferiorly kill 5 percent without wavering is already extremely qualified, and only the most elite and most disciplined troops can continue to maintain combat effectiveness in the face of heavy casualties. As a result, the rogues began to scatter after realizing that their companions had suffered a large number of casualties. Although the road to and from is blocked, the waterside shoal can still be waded through, and there is always a way out along this shoal!

"All the rogues are accustomed to surrendering or fleeing, and have never had a firm will to resist. Therefore, when they encounter difficulties in battle, they are easily shaken, if the conditions offered by the government are suitable, they are even willing to point their knives at their past partners, in order to fight for a 'Zhao'an', Song Jiang in "Dangkou Zhi" is the representative of Liukou, although they are based in Liangshanbo, but in fact there is no construction of order, neither the development of people's livelihood, nor the concern of production. So, when someone stretched out the banner of Zhao'an, he couldn't wait to surrender......"

This series of words flashed in Gao Dazhu's heart, these words are still the analysis in Yu Guozhen's "Theory of Liukou", and when I correspond it to Luo Rucai and others in front of me, I feel that what Yu Guozhen said is really insightful!

"Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and a character like a little official was born for me in Huaxia!" The admiration in Gao Dazhu's heart is really incomprehensible, since Yu Guozhen rescued his family from the line of death, he has respected Yu Guozhen very much, but that respect is because of the grace of saving his life, and then he slowly gave birth to admiration because of Yu Guozhen's talent, until now, I found that Yu Guozhen's words contained deep meaning, and he admired it even more.

As soon as the horses stepped into the shallows, they neighed, and in a few moments they all fell into the water. In the seemingly relatively safe underwater sludge, there have long been iron nails and hedges, and the water is half shallow and not deep at all, so there is no way to avoid it.

The water of the Yangtze River in late autumn is not very cold, but the muskets on the shore are life-threatening, Luo Rucai saw that there were blood circles around him, and the loyal guards around him were almost killed, and he immediately understood that he was afraid that he would not be able to get out today.

"Surrender, surrender!" He shouted.

"Surrender, spare your life, surrender, spare your life!"

There was a cry of crying around, and although the rogues also fought back with firearms, bows and arrows, and also shot and killed 100 officers and soldiers, compared to their own casualties, this bit of killing and wounding of officers and soldiers was not worth mentioning at all.

"Sure enough, when faced with difficulties, I did not hesitate to choose to surrender......"

Gao Dazhu glanced at the thieves contemptuously, and then ordered: "Accept surrender, shout, and those who do not surrender will be killed!" ”

The battle was like a storm, and when Bai Wenxuan arrived at the battlefield, in addition to the corpses, there were pools of blood, and the battlefield was extremely clean, and there were not even dead or seriously injured horses left.

"It's ......"

Bai Wenxuan was shocked, the defeat did not surprise him, to his surprise was that almost no one escaped, he observed the surrounding terrain, he really couldn't think of how the officers and soldiers could ambush and annihilate the thousands of cavalry led by Luo Rucai under this kind of terrain!

Just as he hesitated, suddenly there was a sound all around, countless torches and flags were unfurled in the wind, and from a distance, it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were coming from all over the rivers and canals. Bai Wenxuan looked up and saw a huge banner with the words "Daming Nanhai Boyu" written on it!

Yu Guozhen!

Bai Wenxuan immediately understood what kind of opponent he encountered, no matter how he swallowed Luo Rucai's thousands of soldiers and horses without making a sound, it turned out to be Yu Guozhen!

At the beginning, with only a few hundred horses, Sun Kewang was defeated and Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, and with only more than 1,000 horses, Yu Guozhen, who was captured by Gao Yingxiang!

Although there are not many literate people among the Liukou, as long as they are literate, no one knows the meaning of these six words.

The core of the Liukou is the habitual Kou, and the habitual Kou was also scared by Yu Guozhen in Nanzhili, Xinkou has never been beaten, but he often hears his companions talk about "Yu Youhu", seeing this banner and seeing the momentum around him, how can the thieves not be frightened!

And Bai Wenxuan turned the horse's head, his face was pale, and he fled first.

He doesn't want to end up like Sun Kewang!

No wonder Luo Rucai was defeated so completely, no wonder the battlefield was cleaned so cleanly, this is Yu Youhu's forte!

"Sacrifice the thief and leave! Sacrifice the thief and leave! ”

Hearing such shouts in all directions, Bai Wenxuan knew that the other party thought he was Zhang Xianzhong, and he even tried his best to whip his horse and run faster.

Zhang Xianzhong destroyed Yu Guozhen's Xiliu Villa in Xiang'an twice, and the two can be said to have formed a mortal enemy, since the other party believes that he is Zhang Xianzhong, he will not let it go easily, if he does not hurry up and escape, it will be a dead end!

As soon as he took the lead in retreating, the soldiers around him fled for their lives like wolves, trampling on each other and trampling on thousands of them. Tens of thousands of people are prone to stampede accidents in this long and narrow place, and when they flee for their lives, they can't care about so much.

It was Gao Dazhu, who directed this scene, who was stunned for a moment when he saw this situation, and then shook his head: "The rabble! ”

"The prestige of our petty officials has come to this!" A tiger guard said with emotion.

Everyone heard it clearly, and when the rogues fled, many people were shouting "the tiger cub is coming, the tiger cub is coming", which can be described as terrifying. They came out with a bluff, originally just to scare off the rogue, but instead of retreating, the rogues were defeated.

Such an opportunity is naturally not to be missed, and Gao Dazhu is not good at changing opportunities, and he will not forget to order the pursuit. And if he doesn't say much about mobilization, the officers and soldiers naturally chased after him happily, and who wouldn't beat the water dogs?

This chase was enough to chase ten miles, and Gao Dazhu collected his troops out of caution. After this battle, the morale of the rogues will inevitably collapse, and the next battle and defense will be easy to handle.

However, at this moment, an army came from the rear, and after a while, someone came to report: "Fang Junmen is here!" ”

At this time, it was getting late, Gao Dazhu had already ordered to choose a place to camp, and when he heard Fang Kongzhi arrive, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he hurriedly came to greet him, only to see Fang Kongzhi, and found that the face of the governor of Huguang was quite ugly.

"I've seen the military gate." Gao Dazhu thought that he was worried about the war, and said to him: "I sent someone to the military gate to report victory-didn't the military gate see it?" ”

"Dazhu, you did a good job, capturing Luo Rucai alive, this is a great achievement...... It's a pity that your great achievements are not worth the stupidity of others! ”

Gao Dazhu was stunned, this sudden change made him a little confused: "The meaning of the military gate? ”

"I was in Gong'an City, and countless ships and dead bodies floated down the river, and then I saw a defeated warship...... Premier Xiong and Zuo Liangyu suffered a big defeat! ”

"What?" The tall pillar was surprised.

Xiong Wencan couldn't support Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu even forced Xiong Wencan to send back to his original territory the Guangdong soldiers he recruited who were good at muskets, and had to ask the imperial court to transfer the border army, like the Denglai soldiers led by Chen Hongfan, and also drew out more than 10,000 soldiers that Fang Kongzhi had worked hard to train. And Zuo Liangyu's arrogant name, Gao Dazhu has also heard of it, in Anqing, he and Chen Hongfan defeated Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong coerced the crowd to enter the Yinghuo Mountain, he not only did not listen to Shi Kefa's order to enter the mountain to suppress, but in the garrison to plunder the people, rob people, money, wives and daughters, and what he did was no different from the rogue!

This is such a person, the Donglin Party still regards it as a military support, which is quite tolerant, and some people in the DPRK and China are impeached and appeased. To a certain extent, the Donglin Party really only has partisan interests, there is no distinction between right and wrong, that is, its internal contradictions, and it also determines its position based on geography or distance, rather than national interests!

It is precisely under Donglin's intentional or unintentional connivance that Zuo Liangyu almost does not put Xiong Wencan in his eyes, and Xiong Wencan is nominally the prime minister, but in fact it is difficult to move Zuo Liangyu. Their army followed Zhang Xianzhong and other Kou, and under the rule of the governor of Yunyang, they followed the river after learning that the Liukou had crossed the river in Jing'zhou. Zuo Liangyu is in the lead, and Zhang Xianzhong thinks the same thing, what he thinks is that the Xiangchu Realm has not yet been fired, and there must be goods to be looted. But Zhang Xianzhong had already prepared, when he crossed the river to the middle of the attack, the two sides had a big battle on the riverside, Zuo Liangyu was not strong enough, and returned in a miserable defeat, and Zhang Xianzhong took the opportunity to kill a horse pistol, and fought with it on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Zuo Liangyu was defeated again, the rout with Xiong Wencan's camp collapsed, and a large number of officers and soldiers surrendered to the Liukou!

"In other words, you can't count on Xiong Wencan and Zuo Liangyu in a short period of time." After saying the situation, Fang Kongzhi struck his hand hatefully: "The matter of the military state is mistaken by this generation!" ”

The tall pillar was silent.

As Fang Kongzhi said, the originally extremely favorable situation was completely changed because of Xiong Wencan's defeat.

Zhang Xianzhong still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Huguang soldiers, although Fang Kongzhi's troops were small, but the will to fight was tenacious, and Gao Dazhu captured the battle of Luo Rucai, which can be said to have strangled Zhang Xianzhong and other Kou between the Yangtze River and the Hudu River. If Xiong Wencan and Zuo Liangyu are undefeated, on the one hand, they will cut off Zhang Xianzhong's retreat with the boat division, and on the other hand, the main force will make a detour to meet Fang Kongzhi, and they can completely solve Zhang Xianzhong and other giants at this big bend in the Jingjiang section of the Yangtze River, so that most of the rogues will be cleared. However, Xiong Wencan was bent on appeasement, his will to fight was not resolute, Zuo Liangyu was greedy for plunder, and the light army was rash, which directly led to the destruction of this good situation.

Moreover, the army under Xiong Wencan's command was scattered, which means that there is no force in the north and south of Jingjiang that can compete with Zhang Xianzhong head-on!

In such a critical situation, who can turn the tide immediately?
