Chapter 549: The Decisive Battle of Zhu Xianzhen (12)
"Hehe, who are you? Why did Li Zicheng, the self-proclaimed King Shun, canonize Ben Shuai? Which court did he represent? ”
Wang Zhong looked joking, and he wanted to delay the time of Li Zicheng's attack, and immediately pulled the skin with the envoys of the Shun army who came to surrender.
"Foreign minister Li Zhong, now the staff officer of the former battalion of Dashun, as for the canonization of the imperial court that Wang Shuai said, Li does not dare to agree, the so-called world is the virtuous people who live in it, Mengyuan is not virtuous, and the world chases it, so there is a three-hundred-year foundation of the Ming Dynasty."
After Li Zhong finished speaking, he made a circle salute to everyone and said: "Li Xingzhi can succeed, it is not that my Dashun army and Dongyu have attracted the main force of the official army, and now I am the king of Shun with millions of soldiers, thousands of generals, sitting on Huguang and Henan, how can I not ask how important it is?" ”
"Uh............ The combat power of your army has already been seen by the general, so why should you be afraid of such a military horse even if there are millions? It is better for the envoy to go back and inform King Chuang that if he returns with the whole army, the commander will protect him as the governor of Shaanxi in front of the prime minister and let him return to his hometown. ”
Wang Zhong is completely happy, our marshal has controlled Beizhili, Shandong, Huaiyang, southern Liaoning, and now half of Shanxi has fallen into control, and he doesn't dare to change the Yuan and call the emperor lightly, Li Zicheng You only have a few disabled mansions in your hands, but you are dreaming of changing the dynasty.
The rest of the Jingbei Army generals such as Gao Jie, Jiang Xiang, and Liu Guoneng were also laughed by Wang Zhong's words to protect Li Zi as the governor of Shaanxi.
"Wang Shuai, my Dashun million army has set up a position in Zhuxian Town, Shun Wang surrendered, but it is a pity to be heard, and I hope that Wang Shuai and the generals will not make mistakes, otherwise once the post is broken, the anger of King Shun is not something you can bear."
Li Zhong was angry, he was originally born in Xiucai in Boai County, Henan, since the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Central Plains has been in drought every year, and the people have different children and eat, and the life of the scholars at the bottom is not easy, Li Zhong then took his cousin Li Xin and others to join the peasant army, with a pen and a mouth, several people were appointed by Li Zicheng as staff officers with the army.
The so-called scholar is the death of a confidant, Li Zhong, Li Xin and others, who have no hope for the imperial examination, after seeing the Shun army defeat Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiao in a row, they thought of winning a promotion through Li Zicheng's Dashun army.
"Qi Qi Wang Shuai, General Li's side has been prepared, see if it will be launched immediately."
Just when Wang Zhong wanted to speak, a herald hurriedly walked up to the command platform, glanced at Li Zhong, who was standing bowed in front of the generals, and immediately clenched his fists and asked for his life.
"Well, let Li Chengdong start, since Mr. Li has been in Qinglonggang, Ben Shuai will invite you to watch a good show."
Wang Zhong waved his hand to signal the herald to go down, stepped forward slowly, and grabbed Li Zhong, who was a little confused by the herald's report.
"Wang Shuai, what does this mean?"
Li Zhong was stunned, he really couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Wang Zhong's gourd.
"Back then, Guan Yunchang flooded Cao Cao's Seventh Army in Fancheng, and was captured on the back of a crucian carp, and today Ben Shuai is going to flood the Seventh Army on the back of Qinglong, although it can't be compared with Guan Yunchang's powerful earthquake in Huaxia, if you want to flood Li Zicheng's thousands of artillery, you can still do it."
Since Li Chengdong has been prepared, the matter of blowing up the embankment of the Jialu River can naturally be carried out, and Wang Zhong is also lazy to deal with Li Zhongxu.
"This is impossible, when Guan Yunchang attacked Fancheng, it was at the turn of summer and autumn, and the rain was continuous, so that the White River soared, and Yu Ban was defeated, and now winter and spring meet, the water level of the Jialu River is only a few feet deep, how can you attack the water?"
Li Zhong questioned repeatedly, before the main force of the Shun army arrived in Zhuxian Town, he specially accompanied Li Zicheng to observe the hydrology and geography of the area around Zhuxian Town, and then stationed in Zhuxian Town in a big way, no one expected that the Shandong army would think of digging the Jialu River embankment in February.
"Bang, bang......!"
Just when Li Zicheng and the others, who had dispatched troops in front of Zhu Xianzhen, were a little impatient and Li Zhong looked incredulous, two violent explosions suddenly sounded from the direction of Qinglong's back flank.
Immediately after that, the boiling river rushed out from the broken embankment, and then flowed all over the mountains towards the Dashun army that was arraying in front of the green dragon's back.
"It's ...... Quickly carry the medicine ....... ”
Li Zicheng, who was on the stage, roared in shock as he looked at the rushing river, he really didn't expect the Shandong army to blow up the Jialu River, let alone that the river water that was not too high would gush out of the embankment.
Fortunately, at a glance, although there was a white expanse in front of him, and even the rushing water still rolled up small waves, it can be seen from the place where the water passed through that the water was not deep, only about one or two feet, and it did not do much harm to the military horses on the side.
It's just that although the water level is not high, it will make the medicine and cannons that have just been transported to the gun truck damp, and then his plan to bombard the back of the green dragon will be ruined, and after the water overflows, the land will be muddy, and it will become impossible for him to attack the back of the green dragon with his absolute superiority.
"Ah......h
"Fuck, what's going on?"
"grandma, it's cold."
The people went to the high places, the water flowed to the low places, and the rushing river water quickly rushed into the large array that the Shun army had just lined up.
Countless soldiers of the Shun army stood in the icy river, cursing in shock and anger, and some of them couldn't stand the cold, and their bodies were already shivering.
"Quickly return to the camp and take care to protect the grain and ammunition."
Liu Tichun, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang, Gao Yigong and other Shunjun generals in the military formation were also shocked by the river flowing everywhere, of course, they are all battle-hardened Dakou, what scene has not been experienced, after a short panic, it is to shout the guards around them, let them immediately rectify the military horses and return to the camp.
At this time, no one thought that they could still launch an offensive against Qinglong's back, not to mention anything else, even the cold and biting water under their feet would make it difficult for the Dashun army to move an inch.
"The water level of the Jialu River is only a few feet high, and even if they blow up the dike, where will they get so much water to overflow?"
Li Zicheng's mood at the moment was as depressed as taking rat medicine, he was busy for a long time, and he was rectifying the army and horses to make a big noise, and he was sending an envoy to persuade him to surrender, but he had to withdraw to Zhuxian Town in a gloomy manner, and because the camp had been flooded by the river at the moment, he would definitely have to retreat and camp, and those who had just dragged out of the camp did not need to think that they must have been damp, and then they wanted to enter the army, and it was estimated that it would drag on for several days.
"King Chuang, according to the student's estimate, I'm afraid that the Shandong army built a dam in the lower reaches of the Jialu River, and now the water level is not high, it is not difficult to stop the river, the so-called soldiers are fast, the students think that we should immediately evacuate Zhuxian Town and go south to Huguang."
Song Xiance hesitated for a moment, and once again put forward a plan to go south, Henan is broken, it is better to leave it to the Shandong army, retreat to Huguang, and take Sichuan, even if you can't dominate the world, but with the geographical advantage of Bashu, it is not a problem to divide one side.
