After Ma Jinzhong learned that Chongzhen's men and horses had taken Chizhou, it was not far from his Anqing.

Immediately gather all the generals to discuss the military situation.

Ma Jinzhong sat in the position of the marshal, and his generals, Ma Weixing, Liu Zhiliang, Yang Jinxi, Bai Cai, Liu Longhu, etc., all arrived.

All of them are bright and bright, and they are full of energy.

After Ma Jinzhong discussed, he decided to meet Chongzhen's men and horses in Niutoushan Town, because the Yangtze River is the narrowest here, and the Ming army may cross the river and land here.

Therefore, Ma Jinzhong divided 20,000 horses into troops and sent generals, and chose Niutoushan Town as the sniper location.

The terrain of Niutoushan Town is relatively complex, there are mountains, waters, hills and forests, and there is a big lake deep inside, which is convenient for ambushing soldiers and horses.

Ma Jinzhong ordered his generals Bai Cai and Liu Longhu to lead 3,000 sailors to lure the enemy along the Yangtze River in the vicinity of Niutoushan Town.

Ordered Ma Weixing and Liu Zhiliang to lead 5,000 cavalry battalions to ambush in Niutoushan Town.

Ordered the general Yang Jinxi to lead 5,000 men and horses to defend Anqing City.

Ma Jinzhong led the governor of the 2,000 personal guard battalion with three soldiers and horses.

The reason why Ma Jinzhong is so strong is mainly because he has a lot of cavalry, 20,000 horses, half of which are cavalry. Moreover, Ma Jinzhong is known as a mixed 100,000, born as a thief, and his soldiers can compete for the championship, and he is an absolute bandit.

Zuo Liangyu asked Ma Jin to be loyal to Anqing, and he also planned to give Chongzhen's soldiers and horses a head-on attack.

The soldiers and horses of the three cities of Wuhu, Tongling and Chizhou in front of them are all rabble, and they are simply vulnerable in front of the Ming army.

The vanguard of the Ming army this time will be Huang Degong.

Huang Degong was ordered by Chongzhen to open the way in front with an army of 10,000.

After winning three cities in a row, Huang Degong was eager to win and approached Anqing non-stop.

Accompanying the Huang Degong Pioneer Battalion was Liu Zhaoji's Sailor Battalion.

The second general discussed countermeasures, looked at the terrain in front of him, and decided to break through the Yangtze River from Niutoushan Town, take Anqing in one fell swoop by land and water, and welcome the holy driver.

This time, the commander of the 300,000 troops of the Ming army was Gongzi Li Yan, and the deputy general was Ma Bao.

The second general took more than 200,000 troops as the main force, and followed up, and Chongzhen's imperial camp was behind Li Yan and Ma Bao's team.

Liu Zhaoji sent 5,000 sailors and a large number of troop carriers to escort Huang Degong's men and horses across the river here.

Because Anqing is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, less than ten miles away from the Yangtze River, if you want to take this city, you must cross the river to fight.

There is a water division of the thief army to defend this place, and this part of the thief army must be solved first, Liu Zhaoji ordered 5,000 water divisions to attack.

Anqing's sailors were vulnerable, and the 3,000 sailor battalions of Bai Cai and Liu Longhu were about to collapse at the touch of a button.

Liu Zhaoji and Huang Degong were overjoyed and immediately let the pioneer battalion board the ship in two batches, where the river was relatively narrow, and the 10,000 pioneer battalion could all cross the Yangtze River in less than an hour.

Unexpectedly, the first batch of 5,000 men and horses of Huang Degong's pioneer battalion had just boarded the ship and left the shore, while the remaining 5,000 men and horses were still waiting for the ship on the shore.

In the hills and cols of Niutoushan Town, suddenly ambushes arose, thousands of horses galloped, and the ground they stepped on were trembling. Ma Weixing and Liu Zhiliang led two cavalrymen to kill them like a whirlwind and clouds.

And these two cavalrymen are very distinctive, a long spear and a short knife, to be precise, a short spear, because this spear has been cut off, how long the original dependence is, now only eight feet left.

The advantage of this is that it can be used as a red tassel gun on a horse, and it can also be used as a shuttle dart when chasing the enemy.

The other cavalryman's weapons are all big axes, each with a noisy big axe in his hand, and he also has a small axe on his body, just like the axe gang in the film and television drama, which can throw the axe out.

Therefore, these two cavalry used dual weapons, and when the short spear battalion and the axe battalion came to kill, Liu Zhaoji and Huang Degong hurriedly organized troops and horses to meet the enemy.

But at this time, on the river, the enemy generals Liu Longhu and Bai Cai led three thousand sailors to kill back, and just now they were completely

It is deception and deception to lure the enemy.

Liu Zhaoji and Huang Degong knew that they were fooled.

The two sides fought hard, blood stained the water of the Yangtze River, corpses were everywhere on the shore, blood flowed like a river, and Huang Degong and Liu Zhaoji were killed.

Together with the naval division battalion, the second general lost a total of more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and withdrew more than 20 miles at once.

Only then did I know that Anqing was not easy to fight, unlike Wuhu, Chizhou and Tongling, the soldiers defending the city were fierce and cunning, but the two generals were not convinced, when they reorganized their troops and horses, and were ready to fight again.

Li Yan and Ma Bao have followed with more than 200,000 main forces. And at this time, the holy car has arrived at Chizhou Mansion, which is only twenty or thirty miles away from Chizhou Mansion, and riding a fast horse is half an hour's journey.

Therefore, the generals Ma Baobao and Liu Zhaoji were left here to rectify the soldiers and horses, and Li Yan and Huang Degong flew to Chizhou to see Chongzhen and plead guilty.

At this time, Chongzhen had just settled in Chizhou Mansion, and the temporary palace had just been settled, and the news of the defeat of the vanguard battalion came, which of course was reported by Han Yin's Jinyi guard in time.

At this time, Li Yan and Huang Degong were galloping on the way to Chizhou.

"Master, how could Huang Degong and Liu Zhaoji fall into such a trap?" Wang Chengen had a lot of complaints, feeling that these two people had been on the battlefield for a long time and had rich experience in leading troops, and they couldn't even take down the little Anqing, which really humiliated the prestige of the emperor.

Chongzhen laughed, "Wang Daban is also too light on the enemy, Anqing Jiangbei is an important town, the geographical location is dangerous, since ancient times, soldiers have to fight, Zuo Liangyu must be stationed here to defend with heavy troops, the tough battle has just begun, but this Ma Jinzhong, I have to train him."

While the two monarchs and ministers were talking, Li Yan and Huang Degong had already come to the outside of the city to ask for a meeting, Chongzhen was gracious, and soon the two knelt down in front of Chongzhen to ask for guilt.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
