Chapter 208 Luo Rucai: I don’t need you to fight, I will defeat myself

After Li Zicheng's winter uprising in the second year of Chongzhen, he suffered many defeats, but never once did he feel as deeply frustrated as this one.

Because he had been defeated by the Ming Dynasty army before.

The peasant army's equipment was too crude and its training was seriously insufficient. It seemed natural that it would fail in the battle with the official army.

But in this battle, he faced the Yibu who were also from the peasant army, and he still had an advantage in terms of military strength.

In terms of elites, he has nearly [-] cavalry and more than [-] elite infantry, which is not too small.

In the end, he was defeated by Weibu, and he was defeated so cleanly!
There was no need to use a telescope at this time, and the scenes of the rout of the invaders in the wilderness came into view one after another.

In the east, Yuan Zong's cavalry was seen fleeing northwestward one after another under the interception of the Wei cavalry and the attack of the infantry.

There were still tens of thousands of elite infantrymen in the middle line, but they fled like an avalanche under the charge of the Yibei rebels. The cavalry supervisory team behind them could not even cut down hundreds of people to stop the collapse!

More than 3000 Yibu cavalry from the west were running towards this side, as if they wanted to leave them behind too!
"King Chuang, what should I do with my eyes?" Zhang Nai, the commander of the cavalry at the side, came to his senses and couldn't help but asked anxiously when he saw that his own side was greatly defeated.

Li Zicheng glanced at the battlefield again. Although he was very reluctant, he did not dare to risk his own life and the last three or four thousand cavalry.

He released his clenched hands and gritted his teeth and said, "Ming Jin! Withdraw your troops and retreat!"

After giving the order, Li Zicheng did not go to respond to any one.

He was unable to respond to the largest number of elite infantry.

As for Yuan Zongdi's cavalry, as long as he wants to escape, it is difficult for the enemy to retain much, so he does not need to support him.

On the contrary, thousands of Yibu cavalry from the west are about to rush over. If he fights against them, even if he can defeat more than 3000 Yibu cavalry, he and the thousands of cavalry around him may be trapped in a tight siege, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Therefore, he slipped away immediately after giving the order to retreat.

···
Downstream of Tuanhe River, Zhengwan.

Luo Rucai adhered to the principle of being cautious, dispatched partial divisions, and guarded left and right. After spending half an hour carefully, he finally allowed more than half of the [-] to [-] troops to move to the opposite side through the pontoon bridge set up by the ship.

Luo Rucai himself had just crossed the river not long ago with more than a thousand horsemen and thousands of veteran soldiers.

Seeing that there was not even a shadow of the Yibu rebels around, Luo Rucai couldn't help but smile to Ji Gui, the counselor next to him: "Isn't there a saying in the art of war, strike when you are halfway across.

With so many people, it took nearly half an hour to cross the river. Liu Sheng didn't even know to send troops to attack. All the preparations he made were in vain. "

Ji Gui was a scholar who had been expelled from his position. Like Luo Rucai, he was also an old-fashioned scholar and had some brains, so he was trusted by Luo Rucai.

Hearing this, he apologized and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Liu Sheng is beaten to a pulp by King Chuang at this time and is in dire straits. How can he still think about dealing with the general?"

Luo Rucai was convinced.

He smiled and said: "Since we have agreed that the coalition forces will attack the man named Liu, we certainly can't just let Li Zicheng contribute the force.

Send a military order to the teams on the west bank to cross the river quickly, and let the teams on the east bank get ready. We will set off first to dig out the butt of Liu.

Don't wait until it's too late. The man named Liu was defeated by Li Zicheng, and they couldn't even touch his hair. "

"Order!"

Two horsemen received the military order and rushed to deliver it.

Unexpectedly, not long after the two horsemen left, a group of scout horses came galloping along the river from Xi'an, crossed the river through the small pontoon bridge specially reserved for the messengers, and found Luo Rucai.

"The general is in trouble, King Chuang has been defeated!"

"What did you mean?" Luo Rucai stared, suspecting that he heard wrongly.

"King Chuang was defeated!" Captain Tanma said, "Well, we can see clearly from the west bank. The guns of the Weibei army were too strong. King Chuang's army collapsed not long after the battle with the Weibei army!"

"How is it possible?!" Luo Rucai's voice rose several times, not wanting to believe it, "Li Zicheng actually let that junior named Liu defeat him? And he defeated so quickly?!"

Captain Tanma saw that Luo Rucai still didn't believe it, so he said: "General, King Chuang is really defeated - when we left, King Chuang fled north!"

"His grandma's..."

Luo Rucai didn't know what to say. Thinking about the joke he had just made about Liu Sheng not knowing how to fight, Luo Rucai felt that his old face was sore from being beaten.

He soon regained his composure and began to give orders.

"Send an order to Yang Chengzu to tell the troops on the west side not to cross the river, and vacate their positions as quickly as possible, so that the troops on the east bank can go back!"

"Send a large team to the north to explore the horses. Once we detect the Yibu rebels coming south, report them immediately!"

"···"

Luo Rucai issued a series of orders, thinking that the arrangements were thorough, and the Yibu rebels had not yet arrived, so the tens of thousands of people under his command could evacuate intact.

As a result, for some reason, after the order was issued, news quickly spread among the troops on the east bank that "the Chuang army was defeated and the Yi army was about to attack."

In addition, most of Luo Rucai's [-] to [-] troops were "recruited" after entering Nanyang. Many people joined his team for less than a month, and their discipline and organization were very poor.

Under the influence of rumors, a simple crossing of the river turned into a fight for the pontoon!
Many soldiers rushed to the pontoon, and countless people were squeezed into the water.

Fortunately, it was early June and it hadn't rained for a month. The water level in the Tuanhe River had dropped a lot, so not many people drowned.

But this chaos greatly slowed down the speed of Luo Rucai's troops crossing the river.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the exploration horse sent to the north galloped back.

"The general is in trouble! Thousands of Kuei cavalry are coming along the river!"

Thousands of rides?

Luo Rucai lost his composure upon hearing this and quickly asked: "How many thousand riders are there?"

Tan Ma said: "We can't count them, at least three or four thousand."

"This is bad!" Luo Rucai muttered, and then said to Wang Long, the leader of the cavalry: "Quickly clear the passage across the river. We and the people from the old camp must cross the river as soon as possible!"

Under Luo Rucai's order, the ordinary infantrymen who were still slowly crossing the river in the chaos were driven away one after another. Some were even pushed into the river. Some who resisted subconsciously were directly hacked to death by the soldiers of the old camp.Through this method, Luo Rucai, more than a thousand personal cavalry, and thousands of veteran soldiers finally crossed the river before the Wei cavalry arrived.

But his behavior made the more than 1 ordinary infantry still on the east bank of the river completely despair.

When the Wei cavalry came to attack, some people fled directly south, some ran into the rushing river, and many more knelt down on the spot.

Seeing this, Luo Rucai decisively ordered people to burn the pontoon bridge and evacuate with more than [-] troops on the west bank...
South of Jitan.

On the battlefield where the Yi army and the Chuang army fought.

Yu Hongyu finally woke up and heard a lot of footsteps and some conversations around him. He was so scared that he didn't dare to move.

"Here's another one!"

"Look at the minor injuries and serious injuries. If the injuries are serious and cannot be cured, give him a break. Those with minor injuries will be sent to a field hospital."

"This should save me."

"Then send him away. After all, it's a human life."

Hearing these conversations, Yu Hongyu couldn't help but be stunned.

'Are the Yibu rebels treating the disabled among us? '

'How can this be?Is Kueibu so kind-hearted? '

Yu Hongyu participated in cleaning up the battlefield in the inner city. When the intruders saw the surviving officers and soldiers, they immediately dealt with them regardless of whether they were slightly or seriously injured.

Some would even secretly kill civilians and civilians as their own military exploits.

The Kuangbu rebels don’t have this habit?
Just when Yu Hongyu was thinking about this, the corpses on top of him were dragged away one by one.

Soon someone grabbed his arm and dragged him somewhere.

At this time, he heard someone in the distance say vaguely: "All the corpses are being burned - in this hot weather, the corpses will stink in a day or two. If not burned in time, it will cause epidemics!"

Am I going to be burned as a corpse?
Yu Hongyu finally figured out the situation, struggled hard, and shouted: "I'm not dead! I surrender!"

"Oh, there's a whole person here. It's not easy! Let's tie him up first!"

An officer from the Yibu Mingyong Battalion smiled and spoke, and Yu Hongyu had his hands tied and was sent to the prisoner camp.

At this time, he had time to look at the entire battlefield.

As far as the eye could see, almost all of them were corpses of the intruders. It was not known whether the corpses of the Yibu soldiers had been disposed of first, or whether there were only a few of them in the first place.

Most of these intruders were new soldiers, and most of them were killed by squatting tiger cannons and bird cannons, and their deaths were miserable.

The worst thing is that some of those who were killed by grenades may have lost all limbs.

This scene made Yu Hongyu very happy that he had chosen to pretend to be dead, and even more lucky that he had a pit ahead of him.Otherwise, even if he lies on the ground and pretends to be dead, he will be trampled to death by the people behind him...

Temporary camp of the SS.

Zhou Xing, who had been promoted to the commander of the Huben Guards Camp, came to Liu Sheng with four bound generals of the invasion army.

"Commander, I've asked. These four are all important generals of the Breakthrough Army. The one with the lowest rank is also a guerrilla."

As a peasant army, Li Chuang's military system was quite chaotic like other peasant armies before it was formally established, and it borrowed heavily from the Ming army's military system.

After Li Zicheng recognized himself as "the generalissimo of civil and military affairs advocating righteousness to heaven", he implemented almost the entire military system of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the "Dashun military system" of "powering generals and controlling generals", he came up with it after he became emperor in Xi'an.

Liu Sheng looked at the four of them and said, "After all, we are all from the rebel army, and this battle was also agreed upon by Li Zicheng and I.

He and Luo Rucai joined forces to attack our army. Speaking of which, our army suffered the loss, so you don't have to look bitter and bitter.

Since you have become a prisoner, you must have the consciousness of being a prisoner - report your names and military positions. "

Although Liu Sheng's words were said rudely, they did wake up the four of them.

They were defeated by another stronger rebel army, not the official army.

It is indeed disgraceful for Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai to join forces to attack the Yibu.

Therefore, the already depressed private head bowed even harder.

After a moment of silence, the person at the front said: "Um, this is Wu Ruyi, who serves as the deputy general of the Chinese army under King Chuang."

Someone started, and the other three followed suit.

"My name is Xin Sizhong, and I will be appointed as the General Staff Officer of the Chinese Army."

"My name is Liu Rukui, and he is a general of the Chinese Army."

"My name is Niu Wancai, and I am a guerrilla fighter in the Chinese Army."

Liu Sheng was delighted when he heard this, because the names of these four people were all familiar to him from novels written in the late Ming Dynasty.

But the four of them are not as famous as Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, Li Laiheng, etc., so Liu Sheng does not know the historical deeds of the four of them.

Considering that if the Kuaibu wanted to expand its army faster, it would need a group of experienced generals.

As for cultivating generals entirely on their own without absorbing subordinate generals, even the legendary army of later generations could not do this, and it was naturally impossible for the Yibu Rebel Army to do this.

In the past, we did not directly absorb captured generals. Firstly, because the captured generals were all from the army, but also because the basic base of the Yibu rebels was too small and not stable enough.

Now the total number of the Kuaibei's personal guards and standing army has exceeded [-], and the basic situation has been very stable. The opponent is also a rebel general, so naturally he can try to surrender and take it for his own use.

Based on the above considerations, when Wu Ruyi and the other four were uneasy, Liu Sheng spoke.

　Second more.

　　Good night~
