"Chuang Wang ......!"

In the camp of the Shun army in Zhuxian Town, Liu Zongmin knelt down in front of Li Zicheng, and the bravery of the Shandong army cavalry general who looked like a demon god yesterday made him still have palpitations.

It's too ferocious, Ren Jirong's guy is also brave in the army, but in front of the Ming general, he is like a child, Sanhe didn't hold up, and he was pierced through the chest by the spear, the most hateful thing is that after the Ming general overturned Ren Jirong, he actually rushed towards him with more than 100 cavalry non-stop, if it wasn't for Liu Quan's loyalty, he might not be able to escape back to the camp.

The rest of the generals of the Shun army, such as Hao Shaoqi, Liu Tichun, and Wu Ruyi, also lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

So far, they have not figured out why the Dashun army, which has won many battles since the twelfth year of Chongzhen, was defeated and lost by a counterattack by the official military district, and the 100,000 army was reduced by sixty percent in just eight days.

"That's it, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Brother Liu, please get up quickly, Brother Hao, Brother Liu, you should also get up."

Li Zicheng's face was difficult to see, but in the face of his henchmen, he still generously supported Liu Zongmin and others.

The generals present are all the capital he relies on to dominate the world, this battle has already broken Ren Jirong, he doesn't want to chill the hearts of other generals, not to mention that when he was desperate, Liu Zongmin even killed his wife to show his heart.

"King Chuang, the revenge of the Ren brothers has to be avenged, now our main force is exhausted, there are more than 4,000 artillery pieces, the last two ask for another battle of the official army, be sure to take the back of the green dragon, and open up the passage for us to enter Luoyang and Kaifeng."

Liu Zongmin's eyes were red, as the actual number two person in the Dashun Army, he only thought about defeating Zhuxian Town, so as to save his image as invincible in the peasant army.

"King Shun, General Liu's new defeat, our army's morale is low, if there is another defeat, the students may hurt the prestige of the king, and our army will attack Heluo, the Shandong army will inevitably send reinforcements, if you fight hard, it will be unfavorable to our army, it is better to go west to the inner countryside, Xinzheng and other places, causing a situation that threatens Luoyang, there are few officers and soldiers, and if you lose one or the other, you may be able to turn the tide of the war!"

Song Xiance was still not optimistic about Li Zicheng's strategy of attacking Heluo and the Shandong army in the north, and Liu Zongmin's defeat strengthened his idea, so he suggested that Li Zicheng adopt the strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the false, and turned to attack Henan Mansion, in fact, he wanted to suggest that Li Zicheng retreat to Xinyang and transfer to Huguang, but he was afraid that Li Zicheng would not agree, so he adopted a compromise proposal.

"Hit Luoyang? Brother Song, don't forget, Shandong thieves control the waterway of the Yellow River, let's move the camp, if they take the waterway, but they are much faster than us, Luoyang and Zhengzhou are a few strong cities in Henan, and the back of the green dragon is just a mound, if you don't fight the back of the green dragon, will you gnaw the turtle shell of the official army? ”

"What Brother Niu said is reasonable, but this green dragon's back is not easy to fight, if we don't mobilize the officers and soldiers, how many military horses do we have to fill in to gnaw down Zhuxian Town, do you know, the food in the army can only last for more than a month, if it is consumed again, we will run out of food, and then these hundreds of thousands of military horses will go away most of the time, and we don't have to die in Luoyang, let's fight a few counties to supplement the grain and straw headquarters!"

In the face of Niu Jinxing's questioning, Song Xiance didn't care, he really hoped that Li Zicheng would leave the dilapidated Henan, transfer to Huguang, find a stable base area, and become a king.

"Okay, Mr. Niu and Mr. Song don't have to fight, the Qinglong back garrison is only twenty or thirty thousand people, and after fighting for so many days, I think that their city defense equipment has also consumed seventy-seven, eighty-eight, since Lone has led the army here, if it is due to a small setback, the whole army retreats, wouldn't it be shameful to laugh, inform the whole army to rest for a day, and then fight the green dragon's back."

Li Zicheng has Li Zicheng's considerations, if he is cowardly before fighting, is he still worthy of being the leader of the world's righteous army, the king of Xinshun? In the past, it didn't matter if he was defeated by the official army when he was a rogue, he had already founded the country, and if the soldiers of the country couldn't even beat a small town, where would he put his face?

Li Zicheng decided to fight the back of the green dragon again, and hundreds of thousands of troops camped in Zhuxian Town, and the momentum was naturally not comparable to Liu Zongmin.

Yesterday's battle, Wang Zhong appeared on the flank of the battlefield with the main force of the Shun army, and had to order all the troops to return to defense, taking advantage of the exhaustion of the Shun army from afar, Wang Zhong ordered the people with the army to clean the trenches, bury the sharp piles, and rearrange the defense line.

One by one, the arrows were pulled out of the corpses by the people, and then neatly tied together, and some of the war horses close to the mound were also dragged back by the people, and even the iron balls that were bombarded by the artillery of the Shun army were transported back to the artillery position.

Most of the rolling logs and stones that were pushed to the post were re-transported to the post, and as for the corpses that covered the trenches, they had to be poured with fire oil and burned to the ground, because it was impossible for Wang Zhong to spare manpower to transport the corpses of the soldiers of the Jingbei Army.

Qingshan buried the bones everywhere, eight days of hard fighting, the Jingbei army was not without casualties, according to incomplete statistics, the casualties of the military horses of the various units guarding the post were more than 20 percent, and now the defenders of the entire Qinglong back defense line are less than 20,000.

The people were busy reorganizing the defensive line, but Wang Zhong, Liu Guoneng, Gao Jie and others were stunned to look at the white tent that could not be seen at a glance.

Everyone knows that Li Zicheng has hundreds of thousands of troops, but this is just a number in people's mouths, and when the dense Shun army camp appears in their clairmile mirror, the sense of shock is difficult for people to accept.

As far as the eye can see, there are many watchtowers in front of Dazhai, the antlers are connected, and the siege equipment behind is piled up, and the various artillery pieces placed in front of the camp are almost lined up in a black line.

"Grass grandma, where did Li Zicheng get so many artillery pieces on this dog day? If it's all about bombing our defenses, who the fuck can afford it? ”

On Qinglonggang, Wang Zhong and Liu Guineng, who were holding clairvoyants to observe the enemy's situation, burst out at the same time, and thousands of artillery pieces bombarded continuously.

"Wang Shuai, our express delivery has been sent for more than ten days, and I don't know if the prime minister's reinforcements have been sent? It's really not good, let's retreat to Kaifeng. ”

Jiang Xiang was also frightened by the might of Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops and horsemen approaching the city, and lost his confidence in defending Zhuxian Town.

"Wang Shuai, Li Zicheng has a lot of artillery, we may not be able to hold Kaifeng retreat, according to the last general, we still have to fight with the main force of the thieves in Zhuxian Town, the green dragon is stuck between the Jialu River and the Yellow River, although the water level is not high now, but if we dig the embankment and irrigate the water, we should be able to delay the speed of the thieves' advance, with this time difference, the prime minister's reinforcements will definitely be able to arrive in time."

Just when everyone was at a loss, Li Chengdong behind Gao Jie suddenly opened his mouth and offered the idea of blowing up the embankment and releasing water to block the main force of the Shun army.

"Uh......, what General Li said is reasonable, it can block a day is a day, and now the water level is not high, let's blow up the embankment, and it will have no impact on the neighboring states and counties, but it will definitely make it difficult for the Liukou army to move an inch."

Wang Zhong glanced at Li Chengdong approvingly, yesterday Wang Fuchen's martial arts in the battle made his eyes shine, and now Li Chengdong's water plan has made him even more energetic.
