Chapter 523: For the Big Picture!

Kneel for a subscription, kneel for a monthly pass!

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, two big jobs in a row,

The boat will work hard to keep it updated!

~~~~~~

At this time, the frontal battle situation eased slightly, but the left and right flanks were in full swing, and fierce battles were in full swing!

On the right flank, Liu Tichun's elite of the 3,000 Liumin Army had already entered the battle formation of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, and both sides had no firearms to support, so they completely relied on physical hand-to-hand combat!

At the beginning, these new army soldiers were obviously a little unaccustomed to the indomitable charging momentum of the wandering army, and they were defeated and retreated, if it were not for the trenches and earthen walls as their support, they were afraid that they would have been unable to hold on!

But with the increase in the intensity of the battle, the timely support of Cao Jizhou's department, these new army soldiers have gradually found the rhythm of the battle, although they do not have the strength to eat the Liu Tichun army, but in terms of momentum, they have not fallen behind, and can barely be equal to the elite of these exile army!

The war on the left is more complicated!

Yuan Zongdi obviously understands people's hearts better than Liu Tichun, and the more than 2,000 elites under his command bypassed the westernmost defense line of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, and rushed into the formation of the Vermilion Bird Camp from the flank of the southwest direction!

At that time, most of the energy of Chunwa and the soldiers was concentrated on the frontal battlefield, and they didn't expect that Yuan Zongdi would actually make this move, completely defenseless!

And the combat power under the command of Yuan Zongdi is also more difficult than Liu Tichun, they occupy the high place on the south side of the 'mountain'-shaped trench of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, condescending, and constantly launch attacks on the soldiers!

Although Huolang's reinforcements have arrived, at this moment, the two sides are already entangled!

Yuan Zongdi's purpose is extremely clear, he has already understood that these soldiers on the left wing of the Caishi Army are all new troops, and their combat power is not high, so he does not go to fight with Chunwa's elite old army at all, but picks these soft persimmons to pinch, as if he wants to use bloody momentum to deter these new army soldiers!

Due to the limitations of topography and terrain, Chunwa can't be powerful, and she is stuck in the center of the right side of the battle formation, unable to advance or retreat, and is very embarrassed!

Left-wing, the situation is already very critical!

~~~~~

Inside the temporary bunker, Liu Ruyi's face was a little hideous!

Although the new army will definitely encounter some difficulties in combat, Liu Ruyi has long been prepared for this, but in such a situation, seeing the soldiers of the new army fall one after another, Liu Ruyi's heart is still a little unacceptable!

These soldiers are all good seedlings!

If they had enough time to practice, they would definitely not have encountered the sharp impact of the Wandering People's Army like they did today, and they would have been completely relieved, and they would only be beaten passively!

But it has reached this level, Liu Ruyi will never send any more reinforcements, whether he can survive it depends entirely on the ability of these new army soldiers!

Jade, not sharpened, iron ~~~, how can it be made into steel without being refined?

Although the current situation is critical, the Vermilion Bird Battalion has already defeated the frontal enemy, and the reinforcements of Chunwa and Cao Jizhou have also arrived one after another.

These new army soldiers, since they have come to the battlefield, they have lost the opportunity to choose, if they want to live, they can only do their best to destroy all the enemies in front of them from the body!

Not far away, the firelight swayed back and forth with the cold wind, and the mournful shouting and killing sound went straight to the sky, and the wet and salty bloody breath was so far away in this cold winter night, but it was so clear and profound!

Looking at the battle situation not far away, and then at Liu Ruyi's cold, without a trace of coldness, Wang Chengen wanted to say something, but with the experience of the past just now, he opened his lips vigorously, but he didn't say a word!

Truly feeling everything in front of him, at dusk, Wang Chengen's heart inexplicably rose an indescribable fear!

He was not afraid that the Colored Stone Army would be defeated, but that he was afraid of ......

A 'victorious general' who has been through a hundred battles, has been decisive in killing, and has almost never tasted defeat, but at this time of crisis, he has no intention of sending reinforcements at all, so ......-

He's not absolutely sure, he's a complete lunatic!

But based on his own senses and judgment, Wang Chengen is obviously more willing to believe in the former!

After all, Liu Ruyi only had 7,000 people back then, and he was able to capture Shengjing, the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but these in front of him were just some mud legs, how could they be compared with the elite of the Eight Banners of Huang Taiji?

If it's really as you guessed......

Wang Chengen couldn't help but shudder!

Is this what he calls 'war for war'?

If this is the case, and he can be so cruel to his own people, what about his enemies......

Wang Chengen suddenly remembered Gao Qiqian, who was familiar with him!

Gao Qiqian is this miscellaneous, what kind of character is he, how can he hide Wang Chengen's 'fiery eyes'?

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is as timid as a mouse and as cheap as a dog!

How could such a person die heroically on the battlefield?

Don't......

Wang Chengen gasped, but he didn't dare to think about it anymore......

"Princess, are you~~ cold?" At this time, Liu Ruyi suddenly smiled and patted Wang Chengen's shoulder.

Wang Chengen's mind was already wandering outside the world, Liu Ruyi's shot, although his strength was not great, it was like the Qiankun Pagoda of King Li Tian, and most of Wang Chengen's seven spirits were suppressed at once!

"Qi, Qi, Qi Guogong, slave, slave and maid, slave and maid are just, just thinking about something......" Wang Chengen's bones were about to soften, but he supported his body, tried to squeeze out half of his smile, and explained to Liu Ruyi tremblingly.

"Huh! In such an environment, Princess, what do you think? Liu Ruyi didn't mean to let go of Wang Chengen, and said with a smile.

"Slave, slave, slave, ......" Wang Chengen's bile was about to rush to his throat, even in the face of Emperor Chongzhen's thunderous anger, Wang Chengen had never been so frightened!

But at this time, this celebrant is the chief eunuch, the actual number two person in the Ming Dynasty, but he is not angry and pees his pants!

Perhaps seeing that Wang Chengen's spirit was about to collapse, Liu Ruyi's tone softened, "Princess, do you know the way?" As a man, you can't lose! No matter what you do! This time, the reason why Liu sent troops to the Central Plains was to give the emperor a son, and also to give you the face of your father-in-law! But you've seen it now! I have a colorful stone army, there are many new troops, and the combat power has not yet been completed! In such a hurry, the losses are huge! ”

"Yes! Be! Qi Guogong's heartfelt heart can be seen every day! The slave will definitely report to the emperor truthfully! Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed down respectfully, and he didn't dare to come out!

Liu Ruyi shook his head with a smile, "No! No! Princess, in the emperor's heart, Ruyi is just a dog! If you can use it, you will take it out and put it in front, but what if you don't need it? Wang Gonggong, you know that it is difficult to be wishful! ”

"Qi, Qi Guogong, slave maid......" Wang Chengen really wanted to die at this time and couldn't find a place, Liu Ruyi's words, he had a hundred lives, and he didn't dare to take it!

"Huh!" Liu Ruyi suddenly patted Wang Chengen's shoulder, "Princess, you don't have to be so nervous!" In Ruyi's view, you are a friend worthy of Ruyi! ”

Wang Chengen was stunned, and glanced at Liu Ruyi with some doubts, "Qi, Qi Guogong, you ......"

Liu Ruyi smiled lightly, but pointed to the battlefield where the left wing was fighting, and changed the topic: "Princess, do you know the way?" Why are the soldiers at the front so critical, but Ruyi insists on refusing to send reinforcements? ”

"Huh? This...... Perhaps, maybe it's Qi Guogong, do you think that the soldiers in front still have the courage, and they don't necessarily lose, right? Wang Chengen secretly looked at Liu Ruyi's face and said carefully.

"Huh! Princess, you're only half right! ”

Liu Ruyi smiled and carefully explained to Wang Chengen: "The reason why the soldiers at the front are so difficult, on the one hand, is because they are new troops and have no experience, so they can't correctly and quickly deal with the emergency situation on the battlefield at this time!" Moreover, it is dark night, and they can't see the number of enemies clearly, and they can't feel the real existence of the enemy, and the soldiers are too nervous! But ~, these are not the key! Tonight, Li Chuang's attack, although it seems to be aggressive, but in fact, it is just a slight temptation! If Ruyi is not wrong, it will be after dawn that he will see the real chapter with us! ”

Wang Chengen also understood what Liu Ruyi meant at this time, "Qi Guogong, you, are you saying that after dawn, Li Zicheng will fight with us?" ”

"Huh! Not bad! Liu Ruyi smiled and stretched out his thumb to Wang Chengen and praised, but after a moment, Liu Ruyi turned around, glanced at Wang Chengen, and asked him to follow him.

Wang Chengen was an expert in serving people, so he naturally understood what Liu Ruyi meant, and hurriedly and carefully followed behind Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ruyi strode out of cover, turned around and climbed towards a larger man-made dirt slope behind.

Luoyang outside the city is full of plains, the terrain is very regular, although it is a cold winter, the soil layer is very soft, the famous 'Luoyang shovel in later generations, the reason why it was invented by Luoyang people, perhaps, this is also one of the reasons!

At this time, after a hundred steps of Liu Ruyi's 'bunker headquarters', the soldiers had already pushed up a mound of earth!

The mound is not too high, but it is about half a person higher than the ordinary terrain!

The width is not visible for the time being, but it is extremely long, and Wang Chengen looks left and right, but finds that there is no end in sight on either side.

On top of the mound, there are piles of all kinds of dead grass and branches, and if you look closely, there are many sandbags in front of you as cover!

Several pro-soldiers took the lead in climbing the mound, Liu Ruyi also climbed up, Wang Chengen was weak, and with the support of several pro-soldiers, he finally climbed to the top.

At this time, a young officer who did not speak respectfully knelt down in front of Liu Ruyi, "See Grandpa Guo!" ”

Liu Ruyi smiled and patted the young officer's shoulder, "Wen Baihu, how are the brothers preparing?" ”

This young man is the artillery cadet Wen Cheng whom Liu Ruyi admires very much.

Wen Cheng hurriedly saluted Liu Ruyi respectfully, and then led Liu Ruyi to the rear of the breakthrough, waved his hand to several young soldiers around him, and lifted a large piece of oilcloth covering it together!

Suddenly, a huge black cannon muzzle with a cold light appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"General, please look!"

Wen Cheng pointed from the muzzle of this huge cannon and pointed along both sides, "From this red-coated cannon as the center, there are twenty-seven on the left side, including eight red-coated cannons, twelve medium-sized Franc machine guns, and seven small ones!" On the right side, there are thirty-nine, eleven cannons in red, twenty medium-sized Franco-machine guns, and eight small-sized guns! Sixty-six guns in total! Eight hundred and seven gunners! Each cannon, with more than 30 shells, is ready! Just wait for the general's order, and you can launch at any time! ”
