Water warfare is a technical job.

Don't think it's just about sailing, it's about understanding the direction of the wind, the speed of the water and the potential changes in direction.

I think it's easy to sail because of the modern shipbuilding industry. If the boat was bumpy like in ancient times, the complaint phone would have been blown up.

So, water warfare takes a while to practice.

And talent.

Sometimes it's so magical, Guan Gong is a northern man, but when he goes to the south, he is good at water warfare.

Like Guan Gong, Ao Bai, as a northeastern man, will also fight in water.

He was originally the commander of the Sixth Army, but because of the water war, the entire regiment was temporarily transferred to the Azig Army to obey orders.

Ao Bai commanded a makeshift patchwork of sailors, easily defeated the inexperienced Dashun sailors, and then, on the orders of Azig, took the boat first to seize Jiujiang.

It has to be said that Azig is a genius in this military aspect.

As Li Zicheng's vanguard general, Liu Zongmin led his army to besiege Jiujiang.

The Jiujiang garrison is entrenched in the You family's army, and has been beaten to the ground by Liu Zongmin, and the fall is just around the corner.

With the arrival of the Aobai Water Division, Liu Zongmin had to take the initiative to give up the attack.

Azig followed the pursuing Dashun army on land, and by early February, he finally caught up with Liu Zongmin.

Liu Zongmin's troops were divided into two routes, one with Li Guo as a chopping block, and led the main army to stop the enemy on the mountain road in the west.

The other route was personally commanded by Liu Zongmin as a war hammer, using bamboo rafts, rafts, etc. to cross the Yangtze River and detour, and complete the encirclement of the Liaodong Army on the West Road before Li Guo was defeated.

However, Azig's horsemen were too fast and fierce, and without the slightest hesitation, they ignored the main force of Liu Zongmin's troops who were crossing the river, and rushed straight to the area where Li Guo was, and blasted away the military formation of the Dashun army with a grenade, and then drove straight in.

Not to mention that Liu Zongmin, who was sitting on the raft, couldn't react, and even Li Guo didn't move.

But! Li Guo has been on the battlefield for a long time, quickly came back to his senses, and organized the infantry to prepare for the hard top of this cavalry.

Seeing the tall horses rushing over, Li Guo's breathing was about to stop, and at this moment of lightning, the terrifying Liaodong cavalry had already left.

Tan Tai, the commander of the cavalry battle, did not intend to attack the well-organized infantry phalanx head-on, and directly swept through Li Guo's flank and galloped towards the chaotic area behind him.

Li Guo, who realized it later, had the cotton armor on his back soaked with sweat.

In a panic, he saw that the rafts and bamboo rafts that were crossing the river had been shelled and shot by the Aobai sailors, and suffered heavy losses.

The Aobai Sailor is much more flexible than Liu Zongmin imagined, and he is not as clumsy as the Ming Army's Sailor.

You can't beat it on land, you can't beat it on water, and even the artillery is so accurate.

The Dashun army was defeated when it landed.

In order to save their heads, Li Guo and Liu Zongmin led the army to run wildly, but unfortunately it was still to no avail.

When they fled to Hujia Village south of the Jiujiang River, they had been blocked by the Liaodong Army.

Seeing that there was no way out, Liu Zongmin looked at Li Guo: "Good brother, in the next life! We'll make another big fuss in the next life." As he spoke, he drew his sword and slashed himself.

"Hahaha...... There are brothers on the Huangquan Road to accompany him, although he dies without hatred!" Li Guo also drew his saber and killed himself.

The best pioneers of the Dashun Army, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo. This pair of golden partners went to Huangquan hand in hand.

After their deaths, the remaining Shun army surrendered to the Liaodong Army.

In addition to them, there is also Song Xiance.

Song Xiance begged for his life, but was ignored by Azig and ordered to be hanged on the spot.

The remaining more than 40 civil and military officials were captured by Azig and registered.

On the other side, Li Zicheng gathered the remnants of the defeated army and his godson Li Shuangxi to form a formation in Sangjiakou again.

It was also crushed by a regiment of the Liaodong Army.

Li Zicheng was forced to lead the remnants of the army and take refuge in the mountains.

After only two years of comfortable life, Li Zicheng returned to the life of the year.

Li Zicheng took shelter from the rain under the big tree, and his clothes were in tatters, but the embarrassment did not wear him out

Strong will.

The soldiers were not as optimistic as he was, and one by one they hung their heads and avoided the rain.

If no one said it, they wouldn't know that this beggar-shaped army was the famous Dashun Army.

Suddenly, there was chaos in the east.

Li Zicheng subconsciously got up, and was about to ask what happened, when he saw the unkempt Gu Junen coming.

"Mr. Gu ......"

"Your Majesty, it's over, it's all over!"

"Mr. Gu, what's going on?"

"Niu Jinxing was captured and surrendered to the Liaodong Army. Also, according to the news brought by the rout, Song Xiance died. Two generals, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo, committed suicide and martyrdom!"

"Ahh Li Zicheng was so dizzy by this series of bad news that he almost couldn't stand.

The soldiers hurriedly helped Li Zicheng and asked him to sit down on the stone.

"Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the rout has come to this!" Li Zicheng wanted to cry without tears.

"The enemy's firearms are so fierce that when compared to them, we are like holding a burning stick." Li Shuangxi said in frustration.

"It has a lot to do with firearms, but the enemy is also good at melee combat, and if you put a dagger on the tip of a firearm, you can rush in formation, and no one can stop you."

Hearing Gu Junen's words, the generals shook their heads in frustration.

In fact, they have long identified this problem and cannot effectively solve it.

"The biggest problem is that the enemy is cautious and never takes risks." Lee became a self-enlightened man.

If the enemy takes a risk, they can divide it up and swallow it in one gulp.

Gu Junen said: "When we turn into the mountains to fight, we don't have to worry about this, the mountain road is difficult to march, and the enemy will not be able to transport artillery."

"Then let's start all over again, fortunately, Gao Yigong and his wife have transferred to the northeast of Sichuan, we can join them and make a comeback."

As the commander-in-chief, Li Zicheng must stand up and encourage everyone.

At this time, a messenger in dirty clothes was led by the soldiers of the Dashun army in front of Li Zicheng and the generals.

"Are you ......?"

"The minister is Hao Shaoqi's subordinate, and he is ordered by Hao Shaoqi to send a letter to His Majesty."

"Quick, bring it."

Li Zicheng remembered that the commander of Hao Shaoqi's army was Ma Shitai, not Hao Shaoqi.

Unfolding the letter, Li Zicheng couldn't help frowning.

"What?" Gu Junen asked.

"Ma Shitai is dead, and the rest of the army supports Hao Shaoqi as the commander and sends a messenger to deliver the letter." Li Zicheng sent the letter to Gu Junen.

Gu Junen only glanced at it, and then said, "This Hao Shaoqi is definitely not a good stubble!" But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake.

Hao Shaoqi's messenger is still here.

Li Zicheng said, "Little brother, you have worked hard all the way. Stay with me for the time being, and I will send another messenger to inform Hao Shaoqi to join me."

"Yes." The messenger was taken down by Li Zicheng's own soldiers.

Waiting for the messenger to walk away, Gu Junen said, "Even if Hao Shaoqi doesn't have two hearts, he is still an ambitious person."

"He saw that I was embarrassed and had other thoughts in his mind." Li Zicheng sighed helplessly and said, "Let's rest, when the rain stops, we will not go east but west, converge the scattered armies, and go to join Hao Shaoqi and others."

"Yes."

Gu Junen and the others returned to the tree and continued to shelter from the rain.

Li Zicheng stood in place, thoughtful.
