It is really fatal to let a eunuch who does not know soldiers lead the army, but it is even worse to let a eunuch who knows soldiers lead the army, because he is simply not human when he is ruthless.

Ordinary coaches have more or less some ideas to preserve their strength. Even if you are not commanding your own troops, you always have to talk about the love of this robe! But eunuchs are different, in order to win the battle, they can completely ignore the casualties of the soldiers, and they can do whatever it takes without hesitation.

It's not like the eunuchs who actually led the army in the late Tang Dynasty, and the eunuch leaders and civil officials in the Ming Dynasty all temporarily transferred troops before the war and handed over the military power after the war. And the eunuch is not mixed in officialdom, what kind of incense should be considered? They only need to make the emperor happy. So the eunuch just dared to be ruthless, and he was ruthless.

And those military attachés in Beijing just don't sell anyone's accounts, and they don't dare not sell the eunuchs' accounts! So the 1,300 horsemen that General Zhang immediately gathered also lined up in a triangular formation and stepped forward.

But there's a time lag here. Luo Rucai's cavalry charged first, while Lu Jiude's cavalry charged later, so General Zhang's triangular formation rushed to the flank of Luo Rucai's cavalry, while the corner tips of Luo Rucai's cavalry dodged past.

Let's talk about the result of the collision first, there was a creepy muffled sound of cracks and fractures, and many cavalry flew into the sky, and some were trampled into flesh by the cavalry in the back row. Because of the loss in the angle, Luo Rucai's cavalry was knocked over by more than 300 horsemen, while Lu Jiude's cavalry fell by nearly 200 horsemen. Because of the large number of falls of the cavalry in front, the cavalry at the bottom of the triangle on both sides held on to the reins and dodged over.

The whole battlefield was suddenly quiet, and the soldiers on both sides unconsciously stopped their movements and looked at the tragic scene. But this is not over, there are more than 200 horsemen at the corner tips of Luo Rucai's cavalry, and they don't care about their backs at all. Still formed a small triangle and crashed into Liu Liangzuo's troops.

Because he was constantly attacking, Liu Liangzuo arranged in front of him with firearms, archers, and sword and shield soldiers who were conducive to fighting. Therefore, under the orders and supervision of Liu Liangzuo's officers, only a few pikemen stepped forward and formed a very thin three- or four-row gun formation.

The musketeers and archers near the gun array hurriedly fired at the rushing cavalry. As soon as they finished shooting, they threw down their muskets and bows and arrows and ran. But this hasty shooting was not accurate at all, only one horse was overturned, and the cavalry in the back rows could not catch it. "Crackling" fell four or five riders in a row.

But the cavalry formation was not affected at all, and they still moved forward, slamming into the gun formation. Like a praying mantis blocking a car, the spear array soldiers at the impact were immediately knocked away, and the thin gun array could not stop the torrent of iron hooves at all. The gun array was torn open and grew larger and larger as the cavalry poured in.

But the sacrifice of these spearmen was worth it. They used their lives to slow down Luo Rucai's cavalry. It also bought time for Liu Liangzuo's resistance.

"Huh!" Liu Liangzuo slashed over a soldier who escaped from his side. And his own soldiers also lined up. More than a dozen escaped soldiers were hacked to death one after another. At this time, the action was still the most convincing, and in the face of the death threat of the warlord, Liu Liangzuo's soldiers began to surround the cavalry that broke in with weapons in hand.

In the end, there were too few cavalry intruders, and the speed of the horses had decreased, so those cavalry were already greatly reduced. and under the layers of Liu Liangzuo's department. The cavalry began to suffer casualties. One or two ......, like dumplings in a pot, the cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another, seeing that the speed was about to stop completely. The Fifth Taibao who led the team whistled, and he led the rest of the cavalry, turned the horse's head, and returned to the main formation.

However, this time, Luo Rucai also achieved his goal, and he finally got a chance to breathe. But Lu Jiude would definitely not let Luo Rucai breathe, he had already urged the main force of the Yongwei Battalion to press up.

Liu Liangzuo, who was already in some confusion, immediately gave way to both sides, wanting to let the Yongwei battalion go to the front line. Taking advantage of this short recuperation time, Yang Chengzu also organized his troops and immediately began the usual routine of the trilateral army.

After the war resumed, neither of these two armies was willing to defend, and they fought the most wonderful battle. It should be said that just looking at the combat effectiveness, Luo Rucai's peasant army should be a step higher. But when equipment is counted, the two armies are evenly matched again.

The two sides did not flinch, the scene was wonderful, the pace of the battle was quite fast, and both armies played their highest level. Seeing that he was stalemate, Luo Rucai continued to transfer the new force, and after a little rest, Liu Liangzuobu also joined the war group again.

But after fighting, Luo Rucai couldn't help but cry out in secret, this elite army was something he had accumulated with great difficulty, and such a big casualty made him feel painful. But Luo Rucai's flesh hurts, Lu Jiude doesn't hurt his flesh, and the eunuch is not a human being if he is ruthless.

Luo Rucai had no choice but to grit his teeth and insist. With such a fast pace of battle, you must not show flaws, otherwise, it will be doomed. As a result, the two sides still maintained such high-intensity fighting.

It was not until nearly two hours of fighting, and the soldiers on both sides were almost out of strength, that the two armies cautiously disengaged and returned to their respective camps.

After returning to the camp, the coaches of both sides were afraid, but they didn't expect their opponents to be so difficult, which was completely unexpected by themselves. Especially Luo Rucai, when he learned of the casualties in the army, he sat there for a long time without speaking. If it weren't for the appointment with Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai would have wanted to leave with his troops immediately.

And Lu Jiude is also quite annoyed. Cao Cao's peasant army is already so difficult, and there are a few people who are more famous than Cao Cao in this world, so what should their strength be? It is no wonder that the imperial court has suppressed bandits for ten years, but the bandits have become more and more.

For defeating Luo Rucai's peasant army, Lu Jiude is still confident. The strength of the two sides is equal, but there are 4,000 more people on Lu Jiude's side. But Lu Jiude is not a one-hammer deal, there is Zhang Xianzhong behind him, and there are 200,000 peasant troops who went to Hangzhou. So Lu Jiude sent a letter asking Zuo Liangyu to arrive quickly; On the one hand, the order was lowered to let Nanjing City send reinforcements again.

So in the next two days of fighting, under the deliberate suppression of the coaches of both sides, there was no such hot scene as on the first day, and the whole battle was uneventful. But Luo Rucai became more and more anxious the more he fought, after all, Lu Jiude was willing to die, not sparing the casualties of his own troops, and Luo Rucai couldn't. So Luo Rucai shouted in his heart: "Why haven't the eight kings come yet? Where the hell did he die? ”

Zhang Xianzhong Weishenme didn't come? It turned out that he also met a eunuch who was ruthless and was not human.

Because it was to aid Hangzhou, Liu Yuanbin's 3,000 soldiers and horses went in a straight line, but when they went to Donglangxi, Nanhu, they suddenly encountered Zhang Xianzhong's army. And Zhang Xianzhong was also taken aback by this sudden appearance of the Ming army.

Therefore, errors in judgment on the battlefield abound, and they are nothing more than the size of the error. If Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Ru knew that Hangzhou's defense was empty, they could have driven the army to Hangzhou City and came to a siege point to send reinforcements. You can also simply capture the city of Hangzhou, and then transfer the Ming army after a full meal.

But these two people don't know at all, and they don't know Liu Yuanbin's support army. So when Zhang Xianzhong met Liu Yuanbin, he discovered this variable.

Now that you've met it, let's fight! This time, Zhang Xianzhong also brought out 22,000 men and horses from his old battalion, just 3,000 Ming troops? He is still confident that he will be able to solve the problem quickly.

But as soon as Liu Yuanbin saw Zhang Xianzhong's army, he didn't run away, as long as he had some military knowledge, he knew that Zhang Xianzhong wanted to bypass Nanhu and raid Lu Jiude's flank. So Liu Yuanbin immediately lined up on the spot to drag Zhang Xianzhong's army. Don't say it, the performance of these two eunuchs has actually surpassed most of the generals of the Ming army.

But as soon as the battle began, Zhang Xianzhong found that Liu Yuanbin was a hard bone. Because he had to go to Hangzhou to help defend the city, Liu Yuanbin's troops had many cars, horses, and firearms. Liu Yuanbin used a cart to set up an iron bucket formation and stubbornly defended against Zhang Xianzhong's attack.

In the Battle of Xiangyang, Zhang Xianzhong was killed by the artillery bombardment and cavalry of the Runing Army. Although a group of young men were added to the old camp later, the combat effectiveness dropped too much.

In addition, Liu Yuanbin was also a eunuch who did not hesitate to suffer casualties in his troops, and under his iron-fisted supervision, the Ming army actually entangled more than 20,000 people of Zhang Xianzhong with 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Now Zhang Xianzhong has a headache. He didn't dare to let go of this Ming army, otherwise, when Zhang Xianzhong was attacking Lu Jiude's department, Liu Yuanbin would come behind him, and Zhang Xianzhong would definitely not be able to stand it. So, Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Yuanbin were consumed.

The four armies fought for days without each other's knowledge. But Nanhu is not big after all, and with the establishment of contact, the four coaches all know their respective situations. It is clear that in a stalemate, whoever gets reinforcements first will win.

Obviously, the combined forces of Zhang and Luo have an advantage. Because their nearly 200,000 cannon fodder has already returned, and they are about to converge. At this time, Zuo Liangyu had just passed the stone platform, and there were still three days away from the battlefield.

But at this moment, another Ming army appeared in time, that is, the five thousand soldiers and horses sent by Nanjing City, under the leadership of Xu Ming, they had already passed the battle and were about to rush to the battlefield.

It was also a coincidence that the messenger sent by Lu Jiude to Nanjing City saw Xu Ming's fleet on the Yangtze River, and immediately changed the order and asked him to disembark in Dangtu to aid Lu Jiude.

The boss of Nanjing City ordered, and of course Xu Ming had to abide by it. Besides, the battlefield on both sides of the Yangtze River must be more important in the south of the Yangtze River, because Nanjing City is in the south of the Yangtze River, so Huang Degong can only put it aside first.

And Xu Ming's appearance was like a timely rain, which immediately boosted the morale of the Ming army, and also made the confidence of the Zhang and Luo armies completely lost. Without waiting for the cannon fodder to arrive, Zhang and Luo immediately broke away from the battle, converged the cannon fodder, and headed towards Jingde. (To be continued......)
