When Zhang Miaoshou assigned the task, they were grouped, everyone was very convinced, the arrangement was very fair and fair, the rebel army on each road was just right, and almost all the small groups were together.

Of course, everyone understands why Zhang Miaoshou places special emphasis on the word "safe passage", which is a precautionary measure. In the process of crossing the river, no one can guarantee that the officers and troops will not arrive suddenly. If so many rebel armies converge all the way and advance and retreat together, it is completely safe to be safe!

Soon after, on the north bank of the Yellow River, the boundary of Maojiazhai, the ranks of the rebel army were pressed in black, stretching for dozens of miles, the scene was very spectacular, the flags were unfurled, dancing with the wind, clanging, and the sound of the war horses beating their noses came and went.

With the action of a large number of soldiers, a dirt road about 10 meters wide stretched across the ice of the Yellow River, advancing quickly to the opposite bank, which was simple and practical.

"Driving... Drive... Drive..."

In an instant, the rebel army at the forefront galloped away, riding horses and galloping. In the blink of an eye, it was only half an hour, and the first rebel army had passed eight or nine times out of ten.

At this moment, suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the southeast direction of the ferry, getting closer and closer to the rebel army.

Li Jiajun had already arrived on the other side, belonging to the first rebel army to land, serving as a vigilant task, guarding against all sudden dangers, perhaps this is the advantage of the able, can be the first to cross the river, indisputable.

At this time, Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang were riding side by side on the horse, looking at the black shadow faintly, their eyes flickering, and they took out the telescope they carried with them and looked into the distance.

I saw a group of cavalry galloping forward, followed by a group of infantry running forward, following closely behind the cavalry, braving the wind and snow, and approaching the side of the rebels. Through the colorful falling snowflakes, vaguely, I can see that those people are all in the costumes of the officers and soldiers.

"Liu Fangliang, Gao Yigong, give you 1,000 men and horses respectively, solve this sudden official army for me, wipe them all out, leave no one alive, go and return quickly." Li Zicheng ordered lightly, still holding the telescope with both hands, observing the officers and soldiers who suddenly came.

"Yes, Boss!" Liu Fangliang and Gao Yigong replied in unison, then turned around and galloped, and the two cavalry were like two sharp swords, divided into left and right, and stabbed the black shadow away.

"Zicheng, under such bad weather, who do you say will lead this army?" Gao Yingxiang asked calmly, as if he didn't take the sudden officials and soldiers in his eyes, and was very relieved that Liu Fangliang and Gao Yigong would definitely be able to annihilate them.

Li Zicheng put down the binoculars, still looking at the black shadow, did not answer immediately, but showed a thoughtful look, thought for a moment, and then replied: "Hmm... If I'm not mistaken, uncle, this should be the troops of Yuan Daquan, an officer in the defense of the river. ”

Although Li Zicheng's words retained leeway, Gao Yingxiang heard it with a hint of confidence.

"It shouldn't be bad. As an officer in the middle of the river defense, he is responsible for the section of the Yellow River in this area, and it should be Yuan Daquan's river defense army. Gao Yingxiang nodded slightly, echoed, and then asked: "Zicheng, as far as I know, Yuan Daquan has at least a thousand troops in his hands, and you only sent two thousand cavalry over, is there some adventure, not safe enough?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yingxiang realized that his words were ambiguous, and further added: "It's just two thousand cavalry, if you just defeat Yuan Daquan, I don't doubt it, uncle." However, if you want to annihilate them all, escape without leaving a single person alive, and go back to report the news, 2,000 people will be overstretched. After all, the infantry is counted, and if the cavalry wants to escape, it is difficult to guarantee that not one of them will escape. ”

"Uncle, what you said is right, at this time, you should indeed be perfect. Once Xuan Mo knows about it, he will definitely send heavy troops to chase and kill the rebels from all walks of life, which will not be conducive to our evacuation. Li Zicheng nodded lightly and said thoughtfully.

"Yes, self-contained, that's what my uncle meant." Gao Yingxiang echoed and further said: "The later the official army knows, the more beneficial it will be for us, so that the rebel armies from all walks of life can capture some important cities and places by surprise and replenish materials." ”

Li Zicheng didn't say anything more, turned his head to look behind him, and ordered: "Bai Guangen, Li Mou, your team of men and horses immediately outflanked the past and completely cut off the back road of the official army. If one of the officers and cavalry escapes, I will ask you! ”

"Yes, Boss!"

The two agreed in unison, and immediately, they galloped away, detoured to the nearest path, and went straight to Yuan Daquan's rear.

Hearing Li Zicheng's arrangement, Gao Yingxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, didn't say anything more, turned his head to look at the river, and waited for the second rebel army to cross the river and land on another foothold, with a faint sense of expectation in his heart, filled with an inexplicable excitement.

Once the Second Rebel Army reached another landing point, their first rebel army's alert mission was completed, and they could gallop away to capture the city where the imperial court defense was extremely weak.

Thinking of the future development, the strength will be further improved in the hinterland of Henan, Gao Yingxiang felt excited, happy, and had a sense of ambition to do a big job.

When more than half of the Second Route Rebel Army crossed the Yellow River, Liu Fangliang, Gao Yigong, Bai Guangen and others had already returned, came to Li Zicheng's body, and said in unison: "Boss Qiyu, Yuan Daquan's subordinates have all been killed, and there is not a single living mouth." ”

"Well, got it, return to the team immediately, we're going to leave here soon." Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction and commanded.

"Yes, Boss!"

At this time, seeing that the Second Route Rebel Army was about to cross the Yellow River, and seeing Liu Fangliang and others returning smoothly, Gao Yingxiang asked with some excitement: "Zicheng, the Second Route Rebel Army is about to cross the Yellow River, next, where do you think we should go?" Which cities did you attack? ”

"Lushi Mountain~" seemed to have been expected, Li Zicheng blurted out without any hesitation, his expression was very calm.

Hearing the bland words, Gao Yingxiang hesitated, frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Zicheng, there are heavy mountains, rugged mountain roads, and sparsely populated, why did you choose the Lushi Mountains?" ”

However, in the face of his uncle's inquiry and feeling that thick doubt, Li Zicheng did not frown, did not answer immediately, but showed a solemn look on his face, and said seriously: "Uncle, the second rebel army has almost all crossed the Yellow River, let's take the first step and go to the Lushi Mountains." On the way, your nephew will definitely explain to you why. ”

Seeing that Gao Yingxiang was a little reluctant to move, and seemed to be dissatisfied, Li Zicheng further said: "Uncle, my nephew assures you that the reason why such a decision was made was not a whim, nor was it a reckless move for a while, but after some careful consideration. Or else? Let's get out of here first, make room for the Third Route Rebel Army, and not affect the rebel army behind to cross the river. ”

"Well, okay, let's get out of here first." Gao Yingxiang nodded lightly, reluctantly agreeing.
