Please ask me to be the emperor

"What, Mrs. Hong escaped!" Zhang Shun, who was resting in the camp with his eyes closed, couldn't help but jump up after hearing this.

"Yes, Your Highness, listen, the camp opposite is in chaos." Xu Ziyuan couldn't help but said excitedly, "I heard that Jianlu's right-wing army collapsed, and General Zhang Sanbai is mobilizing his troops to attack across the board!"

"Wow!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but take three steps at a time and opened the curtain of the camp.

What comes into view is the brightly lit and noisy Jianlu camp - Chiyou Village.

Although the village is in chaos, if you look carefully, you will see that it is generally quite organized and not a mess as Xu Ziyuan said.

"The two cavalry battalions of Fatty Zhang and Li Shukong will pursue immediately. The other infantry will prepare as soon as possible and attack at any time according to orders!" Zhang Shun could not help but calmly ordered.

Don't run away sooner or later, just run away on the eve of Jierhalang's destruction. Mrs. Hong, you really picked a good time!

Zhang Shun glanced at the direction of Yinglong Mountain where the fire was still blazing into the sky and the killing sounds continued, and he couldn't help but shook his head with a headache.

Zhang Shunyi had already anticipated that Mrs. Hong might escape.

However, having expectations does not mean that Zhang Shun has a solution.

With 90,000 people fighting against an opponent of 100,000 people, trying to annihilate them all in one fell swoop is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Now, just to annihilate the 20,000 Chinese troops from the Jierharang tribe and the Jianlu tribe, a total of 33,000 Zhang Fengyi and Li Zicheng's troops need to be mobilized.

But now Zhang Shun's army actually only has 27,000 troops left. If Hou Jin's morale hadn't plummeted, Zhang Shun himself might not have been able to withstand it.

Now that the Jianlu right wing was defeated and the Chinese army was shaken, it was naturally extremely good news for Zhang Shun.

No matter how passive the enemy is, as long as the battle cannot be completely ended in one day, victory cannot be completely secured in one day, and a victory that cannot be secured may not be without the risk of being overturned.

Now that everything has settled, Zhang Shun cannot help but be unhappy.

But while Zhang Shun was overjoyed, he couldn't help but think more.

As the saying goes: "If you eat one bell of the enemy, you will treat me twenty bells; if you eat one stone of the enemy, you will treat me twenty stone."

If the rebels can kill one more Houjin man now, they will be able to mobilize ten fewer men when they defeat Liaodong in the future; if they kill one more Houjin horse today, they will be able to use ten fewer horses to defeat Houjin in the future.

Therefore, according to Zhang Shun's thinking, since the Jianlu could not be allowed to stay longer, it should be "the best to pursue the poor invaders with vigor and bravery" and kill more of the effective forces on the opposite side.

"Instruct Zhang Fengyi and Li Zicheng to speed up the progress of annihilating the Jierhalang tribe. There is a 'big fish' here who is in urgent need of them!" Zhang Shun thought for a while and couldn't help but order again.

"From early yesterday morning to tonight, for two days and one night, the soldiers did not rest, and there was heavy rain in the middle. I'm afraid. I'm afraid the soldiers can't withstand it!" Xu Ziyuan couldn't help but remind him.

In fact, not only the Independence Army, but also the collapse of Houjin Hauge's Department may not be without this kind of continuous fighting.

"Ha!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but open his mouth and yawned so hard that tears came out.

"Sleepy? Weary? Which one is not sleepy and which one is not lacking? I am sleepy and the enemy is even more sleepy, and I am tired and the enemy is even more tired. This opportunity cannot be missed, and if it is lost, it will never come back. After this battle, all the soldiers will be rewarded with a pot of wine, a pound of meat, and three rewards in a row. Day!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but ordered.

The emperor is not hungry and sends troops. There is no other way, so reward him!

In fact, nowadays, the rebel army of 100,000 people travels thousands of miles to provide food. Don't say "a pot of wine, a pound of meat." If it were not for the "food stamps" that can be exchanged for the day, I am afraid that even the food and salary would not be paid.

However, now that we are only one step away from a hearty victory, there is no reason to back down?

"Here!" Xu Ziyuan couldn't help but bow deeply after hearing this, but then shouted loudly, "According to King Shun's order, after this battle, all participating soldiers will be rewarded with a pot of wine and a pound of meat for three consecutive days!"

"Wow!" As Zhang Shun's order to award the reward was passed on, the exhausted rebel soldiers suddenly became energetic again.

In fact, unless you are too exhausted, this kind of pursuit battle is a great opportunity to easily gain credit.

Now there is "a pot of wine, a pound of meat", although it is much worse than the post-war reward.

However, the soldiers were tired and hungry at this time. When they heard this, their mouths started to water, as if they had devoured a large bowl of wine and eaten a large piece of meat.

"Let's go, let's go, we have to fight like this for the greedy people in our bellies!" A group of soldiers couldn't help but gritted their teeth and stood up, and rushed out of the camp.

Just as Zhang Shun was boosting his morale, the "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty" Hong Tai had already rushed to Chiyou Temple.

"Report, urgent report!" Suddenly a hurried voice came, and then a soldier was seen rushing over.

"Stop him and tell me what's going on!" Hong Tai, who was holding a cup to catch the nosebleeds, was startled when he saw this and ordered quickly.

Now that the war is in turmoil, if he is stabbed to death by a daring person, who will he ask to reason?

"Your Majesty!" After a while, Fan Wencheng took the letter and handed it over.

"Ma Shuikou has been lost!" Hong Tai opened the letter and took a look at it by the firelight. She couldn't help but turned pale, and she accidentally broke the tea cup in her hand.

"Your Majesty?" Everyone's faces turned pale when they heard this, and a sense of despair instantly surged into their hearts.

"It must be the 'Shun thieves' stationed in Weizhou, it must be them!" Fan Wencheng suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but assert.

Everyone became even more desperate after hearing this. These people came from Yuzhou, which was led by Prince Duduo of Yu and Prince Jierhalang of Zheng and led an army of 30,000 people but failed to break through. This pass must have been even more difficult.

Although they guessed the process wrong, they guessed the result correctly.

Currently, the rebel army Zhang Tianlin, Li Jiyu, Li Guo and Chen Jitai's four battalions with 14,000 troops are stationed in Ma Shui Kou. If Hong Tai dares to go south here, he will definitely be blocked by the rebels in the narrow strip between Ma Shui Kou and Chi You Temple. Waiting Their only fate is the complete destruction of their entire army.

what to do? what to do!

"Is there any way out nearby?" Although Mrs. Hong felt her head pounding, she still asked calmly.

"Actually, it's either not true, or... I'm just a little unsure!" Fan Wencheng hesitated and said after hearing this.

"Say!" Only one word came out of Hong Tai's mouth.

"Going east from here, there are two exits, one is called Tianjin Pass and the other is called Qijiazhuang, both of which can lead to Taihang in the east. Just...just" Fan Wencheng couldn't help but hesitate.

"Nothing is wrong!" Hong Tai interrupted Fan Wencheng's words rudely and ordered directly, "The entire army will set up camp near it immediately and retreat one by one in accordance with military orders!"

Since these two places did not appear on Hongtai's alternative plan, they were obviously off-road.

But now that the road is closed, the 30,000 troops of Hou Jin's army are in dire straits. No matter whether there is a mountain of swords, a sea of ​​fire, or an abyss, this is the only way!

"What, Mrs. Hong didn't go to Mashuikou, but went to Tianjin Pass and Qijiazhuang!" Just after the rebels finally determined Hong Tai's movements, the time had come to Yinshi, and the sky was almost dawn.

"Take Zhang Sanbai and continue to pursue Hauge's troops; send Zhang Tianlin and Chen Jitai's two battalions to the east of Mashuikou to intercept the Jianlu; and Li Guo to continue to garrison at Mashuikou to guard against the Jianlu going south; deploy Li Juyu's heavy armored troops to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the Jianlu. The main force of the Chinese army!" Zhang Shun reacted quickly and immediately made adjustments to the deployment of the rebel army.

"The main force of the entire army is marching southeast with me, preparing to give Hong Tai a heavy blow!"
