Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 491 Forced to cross the Yellow River (1)

Li Zicheng's defeat in this battle was even worse, not only the formation was broken, but even the battalion was gone.

With the remnants of the defeated general, he went upstream and ran along the river bank for more than [-] miles, and then it was dark.

Seeing that Zhu Yousong's pursuers did not come up, they rested a little bit, and more than half of the 7 horses were lost this time. Now these remnants of the defeated generals roughly clicked, and there were only more than [-] people left, including some minor injuries No.

Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance looked at each other speechlessly, especially Niu Jinxing with his head drooping, like a quail defeated or a chicken defeated in a fight.

At this time, they tacitly agreed that no one should blame anyone, and no one is much better than the other.

Niu Jinxing has been deliberate, thinking that he is superior, and it has become futile to rely on a large formation more than 1000 years ago to turn the situation around.And Li Zicheng and Song Xiance's plot to bombard Xiao Gaopo by surprise also failed. They are really each other!
This is true for civil officials, and it is similar for generals.Liu Fangliang, Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu, etc. were all in a state of embarrassment, covered in blood, and lost their usual airs.

But in this disastrous defeat, Li Zicheng finally stood up again, although they couldn't understand how Zhu Yousong's more than 1000 death squads sneaked behind the formation without anyone noticing, nor could they understand the [-] red cannons. The sudden attack flattened Xiaogaopo, and why Zhu Yousong and others on Xiaogaopo escaped the catastrophe safely is even more unclear, but the moon formation is so powerful that it can suppress Zhu Yousong's few Thousands of soldiers and horses can't suppress a single Zhu Yousong.

Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Now the only thing they can comfort themselves is this sentence. Li Zicheng does not blame anyone. He can only sum up his experience and cheer up to prepare for another battle. Yellow River, they are safe.

Otherwise, Zhu Yousong's men would be surrounded by another surprise soldier from heaven, and they would lose everything.

To cross the Yellow River, one must have a boat. Li Zicheng secretly rejoiced that at the time he had a whim and planned to fight with his back, burn the warships and smash the pots and stoves. Fortunately, Niu Jinxing came in time, and these warships were not all burned back then. Of course it was Niu Jinxing He is grateful to Niu Jinxing from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he can only look at the river and sigh with this little remnant.

Li Zicheng asked his men to transfer the batch of boats, boarded the big boat overnight, and fled back to the south bank of the Yellow River.

After crossing the Yellow River, it was already the third watch.

On the other side of the river is the sphere of influence of the Dashun army. Some soldiers came to pick them up. Li Zicheng and others, who were exhausted, ate something hastily, and then fell asleep when they fell asleep.

On the second day at three poles, Li Zicheng gathered generals to discuss matters, and then dispatched troops, divided troops, and waited for all the cannons to be arranged. He planned to take advantage of the danger embedded in the sky to fight Zhu Yousong again. Cross the Yellow River.

At this time, Zhu Yousong was sharing the fruits of victory with all the civil and military generals.

This time the big victory was even more beautiful than the Yuanwu battle.Not only did they break the Moon Formation, they saved Xiao Liushi, they also took over the Dashun Army's battalion in one fell swoop, and drove Li Zicheng's troops back to the south bank of the Yellow River.

According to the statistics, more than 4 Dashun troops were wiped out in this battle, and more than 1 of them were captured.

Another unexpected result of this battle is that they got a relatively primitive and powerful weapon, that is, a small wooden cart that can shoot flying spears. Zhu Yousong ordered his subordinates to keep it away for emergencies.

However, if you kill three thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. Zhu Yousong's troops also suffered more than ten thousand casualties in this battle.

After chasing and killing Li Zicheng's men for a while, Zhu Yousong issued an order to stop the pursuit, and ordered people to clean up the battlefield overnight, put out the remaining fire, bury the corpses, treat the wounded, and properly dispose of the prisoners.

After dinner, it was already past the second watch.After fighting for another whole day, the physical strength of the men and horses was too great, and the soldiers and horses had to be rested to restore their fighting strength.

Therefore, apart from the security personnel, the Ming army began to rest.

Xiao Liu has grown a lot after going through this calamity, and she has also suffered a lot during the few days trapped in the Dashun barracks.

But after all, he was a child, and he recovered very quickly. After returning to Zhu Yousong's side for a few hours, he regained his former lively and smartness, thinking that nothing had happened, talking and laughing, surrounded Zhu Yousong Yousong, Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, and Huimei are bouncing around like Yiren's little birds.

It was the third watch of the night, Zhu Yousong, who had been fighting all day, finished all the military affairs, and fell asleep with all the beautiful concubines.

The next day, Zhu Yousongtian only got up from the bed at noon. Last night he rested very well. He felt that he had never felt so comfortable since he left Beijing to personally conquer Li Zicheng. Of course, this was the accumulation of several consecutive victories. It is spiritual comfort and relaxation.

After Zhu Yousong got up and finished washing, he was accompanied by several beauties for breakfast, and then he danced a sword with Xiao Liushi and others. His muscles and bones were moving slightly, and he felt more comfortable.

At this time, all the soldiers in the camp were very busy, some were registering and storing the spoils of war, some were disposing of the prisoners according to his policies, some were busy treating the sick and wounded, some were recording military exploits, some were Since the battlefield was not cleaned up last night, it will be cleaned up today.

Two days later, Zhu Yousong's more than 6 navy and thousands of warships arrived from Guandu. The entire naval battalion lined up for more than ten miles along the north bank of the Yellow River, with flags, sails and trumpets fluttering, majestic and majestic.

Zhu Yousong called Ma Jinhua, Ma Wannian, Du Yinxi, He Zhaoxiong and others together to discuss the strategy of crossing the Yellow River.

Now the spies of the Ming army have basically figured out the deployment of the Dashun Army on the south bank of the Yellow River. In just a few days, Li Zicheng mobilized 40 troops to block the deep trenches and high fortifications on the south bank of the Yellow River with more than [-] heavy artillery pieces. the entire river.

In addition, Henan Prime Minister Chen Qianfu and Yuan Shu brought soldiers and horses from Henan Province to King Qin, intending to attack Li Zicheng's troops from the east of the south bank of the Yellow River and cooperate with Zhu Yousong's army to cross the river, but the soldiers had just arrived in Qi County in the southeast of Zhengzhou In the first generation, Li Guo, a general under Li Zicheng, led troops to stop him.

After discussing with the generals, Zhu Yousong had no choice but to forcibly cross the Yellow River, but in order to minimize casualties, some strategies must be paid attention to in forcibly crossing the Yellow River.

It was decided to still find some people to dive across the river, just like crossing the Yangtze River by force, destroying the forts of the Dashun Army. Only in this way can there be a chance of winning.

Because the range of the red cannon is limited, neither Li Zicheng's cannon nor Zhu Yousong's cannon can hit the opposite bank from the river bank. The navy's bow has a thousand catty Flang machine, but this kind of firepower is inferior to that of the red cannon. too many.

The task of crossing the Yellow River naturally fell to the iron arm Canglong He Zhaoxiong. In addition, Li Quan and Liu Chunhong were still assigned to He Zhaoxiong, and asked him to mobilize the elite navy to reorganize the Death Squad.

After the plan was finalized, Zhu Yousong issued an order to raise the account. Now he is not only His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, but also the commander-in-chief of the entire army.

The drums sounded three links, and the civil and military generals lined up the hatchbacks in neat armor and full of energy, and Zhu Yousong began to divide the troops and send generals.
