Please ask me to be the emperor

When Zhang Shun led the rebel soldiers to fight outside the city, Hong Niangzi, Zhao Yutou, Zhang Shenyan and others also stood on the top of the city to watch the battle.

Although the distance was far away, one could only see groups of soldiers changing formations. However, since this is a war that determines the fate of the rebels, the final result is closely related to everyone here, and everyone is reluctant to leave.

They rejoiced that the rebels defeated every enemy, and were worried about every rebel who died in battle. Their moods were like a roller coaster, rising and falling, changing as the battlefield situation changed.

Especially the Red Lady, staying to defend Luoyang City this time was the first time she went against Zhang Shun's wishes and made a decision against all opinions.

Decision-making involves pressure, so when Cao Wen's imperial edict appeared on the horizon, the red lady felt that she was about to collapse.

She couldn't imagine the outcome of Zhang Shun's defeat, let alone that it was caused by her own willfulness.

She couldn't help but turn pale and feel cold all over. She could only watch helplessly as Cao Wen's troops approached the bank of the Xianhe River step by step.

At this moment, Zhao Lizi ran up panting and shouted: "Huang Shoucai is back and said that he could not stop Cao Wenzhao from advancing westward, so he came here to report!"

"Bring him up!" Lady Hong couldn't help but became furious after hearing this. She gave you the task of dragging Cao Wen's imperial edict. Is this how you completed it?

When Zhao Yutou heard this, he quickly lost his eyes, took two steps closer, and whispered: "The most urgent task is to let him support the lord in time!"

The red lady was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly she came to her senses. She quickly changed her words and said: "Forget it, General Huang has been traveling all the way. I will personally greet him."

The red lady is already six months pregnant, and even wearing loose clothes cannot hide her figure.

Hearing this, Jian'er quickly helped her down the tower, and the other ministers couldn't help but follow her after seeing this.

When they came to the city, they saw Huang Shoucai still shirtless, barefoot, and only wearing a pair of calf shorts. It was late November, the weather was freezing, and Huang Shoucai was so cold that his whole body turned purple.

The red lady couldn't help being shocked when she saw this, and quickly asked Zhu'er to get a cloak for Huang Shoucai to put on. At the same time, she blamed him: "It's almost winter, why doesn't General Huang wear some cotton clothes?"

Huang Shoucai quickly apologized and said: "Now that Huang is incompetent, he actually asked Cao Wenzhao's troops to cross the river. I am here to apologize!"

"As for the clothes, please don't worry, madam. I do have some cotton clothes in the cabin, but I'm just traveling in a hurry. The water vapor on the river is heavy, so I'm afraid they will get wet."

Zhao Yutou was born in Zhouzi, but he was in a dilemma. He quickly explained to the red lady: "According to common sense, traveling by boat is faster than traveling by land. But now that the river is frozen and the weather is cold, Huang Shoucai went upstream and was able to catch up in time." It’s rare to arrive.”

"General, there is no need to be polite!" The red lady knew what Zhao Yutou meant and responded quickly: "I am a woman, so it is very inconvenient. But my lord is in danger now, so I ask the general to spare no effort and rush to the battlefield to meet the enemy."

"If the soldiers are in danger of hunger, thirst or cold, I will order the city to prepare and send them all together."

When Huang Shoucai saw the red lady coming to greet her in person, he was so moved that he couldn't even complain.

He quickly responded: "Madam, it's okay to rest in the city. If Huang goes up the river, he will definitely protect our lord!"

After saying this, Huang Shoucai ignored the hunger and cold and quickly led the ships through the Hanhe River to the battlefield.

Seeing Huang Shoucai walking away, Lady Hong quickly climbed onto the tower to check on the battle situation outside the city.

At this time, He Renlong led his cavalry to charge towards Zhang Shun's formation. Chen Qiyu originally ordered He Renlong and Liu Qian's infantry to attack Zhang Sanbai. Liu Qian was unable to do anything at that time and was beaten so hard by Zhang Sanbai that he could hardly resist and retreated dozens of steps.

As a result, a gap appeared in the left wing that originally protected the rebel formation. He Renlong was eager to achieve great results and wanted to be the chief military officer. How could he miss this great opportunity?

He quickly turned his horse's head, entered through the gap in the rebel formation, and went straight to the location of Zhang Shun's army.

Zhang Shun had already known He Renlong's movements and quickly ordered: "Xiao Qinhu listens to the order and quickly leads the 'Haierying' to stop the traitor cavalry!"

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Shun bowed his hand to Wu Xian again and said: "I know that General Wu has always been a great talent, but he just led the troops and was a bit unskilled. But now that we are in danger, I ask General to take care of me and go to help me." My adopted brother's 'baby camp'."

Wu Xian still understood the principle of "eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor". Although Zhang Shun did not have time to pay him a salary, since he entrusted such an important matter to himself, it was the greatest trust in himself.

After thinking about this, Wu Xian took the order and said: "General, don't worry, the enemy will not be able to invade unless Wu dies!"

As soon as Wu Qian walked away, Wang Yidao quickly stood up and volunteered: "General, please don't forget me, Old Wang!"

Zhang Shun looked at him and couldn't help but smile: "Now, you have also received a military order. After a while, I will call out, and you will order the soldiers under my command to follow. You must do your best to let the rebels know it!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Shun waved his cloak behind his back and walked swaggeringly to the drum of the Chinese army. He firmly grabbed two drumsticks and struck them hard twice. The deafening dull drum sound suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield.

Zhang Shun shouted: "The rebel army obeys the order, I am King Shun! Luoyang City is behind you, and all your wives, children, and children are in the city. Everyone knows the atrocities committed by Chen Qiyu outside the city. If this battle is defeated, the world will It’s so big that we have nowhere to retreat!”

"The hair is like a leek, it will grow back after being cut; the head is like a chicken, it will crow again after being cut off. The officials need not be feared, and the common people should never be taken lightly! If this battle is won, all the soldiers participating in the battle, regardless of their superiority or inferiority, will be rewarded with five acres of land. Those who deserve a reward will be rewarded based on their merits." , ten acres of land will be rewarded. I swear to everyone that I will ensure that you have food to eat, clothing to wear, and fields to cultivate. If you violate this oath, there will be thunder and lightning from heaven!"

Zhang Shun shouted something and beat the drum. Wang Yidao and his two hundred strong men repeated the sentence loudly.

In the battle formation, the commander's orders have always been concise. If it is too complicated, it will easily cause soldiers to be at a loss as to what to do.

It was just that Zhang Shun led the crowd to retell it through Wang Yidao, and clearly conveyed his meaning to everyone.

Firstly, the soldiers and their families are in the city. If they are defeated in this battle, they will be massacred by the officers and soldiers. Secondly, if they win this battle, all the soldiers will be rewarded with cultivated land.

Originally, Zhang Shun's corporal soldiers did not have many families, but after the rebels entered Luoyang City, Zhang Shun arranged for many people to get wives, so these people became worried.

As for arable land, it is something that the Chinese people have worked hard for for thousands of years. No matter how much money you have, it is not as good as having an acre of fertile land at home. This is not something you can easily buy if you have money.

Sure enough, when all the soldiers heard Zhang Shun's order, they couldn't help but start fighting like chicken blood.

At this time, He Renlong finally ran into Xiao Qinhu's "children's camp". Although the "Children's Camp" was instantly overwhelmed, fortunately, these young men were all strong-blooded people, and they were not afraid of death. In turn, they also used the hook guns in their hands to hook down many officers and soldiers.

Xiao Qinhu looked at He Renlong's location, quietly took the tiger tendon bow, twisted a wolf tooth arrow, and nailed He Renlong's throat with just one arrow.

He Renlong was startled, and then he realized that he had an arrow stuck in his neck. He stretched out his hand and pulled it off, and saw that the tip of the arrow was just a little bright red, which was his own blood.

Fortunately, although He Renlong is brave, he also knows that the battlefield is dangerous. He has three types of armor and is invulnerable. Xiao Qinhu's arrow just penetrated He Renlong's neck guard, but failed to pierce the man's throat.

He Renlong turned around and saw that it was the "Meng Zhang Fei" who defeated him in Yuanqu.

It turns out that Xiao Qinhu falsely called himself "Meng Zhang Fei" in order to conceal the Shunwangping camp. It was only because of his distinctive personal characteristics that He Renlong recognized him.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. He Renlong couldn't help being surprised and happy, and shouted loudly: "Shuzi, you also have today! If I can't take your head, I will take your surname today!"

After saying this, He Renlong did not bother to attack where Zhang Shun's army's general was, but he divided his cavalry into 20 teams, each of fifty cavalry, and harassed and charged Xiao Qinhu's "baby camp" one by one.

He Renlong's move was quite ruthless. Although the "Haier Camp" was brave, they only had the courage of blood. There were only more than 600 people. They were no match for the more than a thousand cavalrymen under He Renlong's command.

After only two rounds of fighting, fifty-six people were killed in the "Child Camp". Although at the same time, no less than this number of officers, soldiers and cavalry were killed, but one for one, how could the "Haierying" be the opponent of He Renlong's thousands of cavalry?

This time, even the bravest Ren Jirong couldn't withstand it. He quickly asked Xiao Qinhu for orders: "General, this can't be done. Please stay with Ren to defend against the enemy. General, please make plans in advance!"

As Zhang Shunyi's brother, Xiao Qinhu knew that Zhang Shunduan would not send him here if it were not a critical moment. Ren Jirong's official position was low, and those who didn't know would not be surprised. He had already understood Zhang Shun's intention, how could he let He Renlong pass?

At this thought, Xiao Qinhu couldn't help but shouted: "The military order is like a mountain, how can it be a child's play! Now there are only generals who died in battle, and there is no Xiao who retreated!"

At this moment, another fifty riders came roaring. Xiao Qinhu shouted loudly, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. He waved the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Charge with me!"

Ren Jirong and other "Children's Camp" couldn't help but turned pale when they heard this. Although the number of people facing them was small, they were cavalry. Although the "Children's Camp" had many people and horses, they were infantry. How could they be opponents of officers and soldiers?

Xiao Qinhu first shot down an officer and soldier in front of him with an arrow, then raised his spear and killed him. The rest of the soldiers in the "Haier Camp" were originally young and energetic young men, but when they saw Xiao Qinhu, he was as powerful as a rainbow. They were immediately deeply affected and followed suit. They fired an arrow first and then charged forward with their spears.

Due to the physical limitations of their mounts, cavalry cannot charge at will without restriction. Under normal circumstances, they will find a suitable position, gradually increase their speed, and finally raise their horse speed to the speed most suitable for assassination before they touch the enemy, and then launch a fatal blow.

Now, Xiao Qinhu led his team to counterattack rashly, immediately shortening the distance of the cavalry's sprint. Before the officers, soldiers and cavalry could come up quickly, seven or eight people were shot down by the rebels.

Then the rest of the rebels swarmed forward, some stabbed and some hooked. In a short time, the group of fifty cavalrymen lost seven, seventy-eight, and only a dozen cavalry fled in panic.

At this time, not only Xiao Qinhu, who was determined to die, was stunned, but the enemy He Renlong was also stunned.

Riding on foot is unheard of. There is no such thing as this in the world! He Renlong couldn't help but be shocked and frightened.

In fact, this is a rare occurrence for He Renlong. It is common for the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Chongba to raise his army. With a spear in his hand, his soldiers often chased the Mongolian cavalry who had no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the earth.

The Shizhu Chieftain's method of war used in this "Child's Camp" was originally an offensive infantry method, which was very similar to that of the early Ming Dynasty.

Because "Children's Camp" has been carefully selected and trained by Xiao Qinhu, Zhang Sanbai and Ma Yingniang, they are all young and energetic young people. Therefore, he was able to run without scattering and charge without fear, which produced unexpected effects.

Xiao Qinhu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that this plan was feasible. He quickly shouted to all the soldiers: "I heard that to kill a snake, you need to hit it seven inches, and to kill a person, you need to stab the vital part. Now the enemy's cavalry are scattered, and we can't catch up. Only He Renlong is the most powerful, and he is also a cavalry general. If If you can strike and kill them, the officers and soldiers will be defeated without fighting!"

After saying that, Xiao Qinhu actually led his "Haierying" to run towards He Renlong.

He Renlong was so shocked that he couldn't help but dodge and ordered the rest of the cavalry to attack Xiao Qinhu's "Baby Camp".

Xiao Qinhu became more and more confident in his command, if any cavalry came. Order the "Baby Camp" to turn around and charge forward, destroying every enemy.

He Renlong had no choice but to restrain Xiao Qinhu while ordering the rest of the cavalry to charge towards Zhang Shun's army.

Xiao Qinhu only focused on killing the enemy. Only then did he remember what Zhang Shun had entrusted him to do, and he couldn't help but regret it too late.

Fortunately, Wu Xian had already led five hundred "hair gourds" to line up under Zhang Shun's banner. When he saw the officers and cavalry attacking, he only stretched out his spears densely toward the hedgehog, waiting for the officers, soldiers and cavalry to hit.

It's just that the officers, soldiers and cavalry are not stupid. Now that they have lost the control of He Renlong, how can they be willing to die easily?

They just fired arrows from a distance to harass, shooting at the five hundred "hair gourds" and refused to come forward.

He Renlong was chased by Xiao Qinhu from a distance. He finally turned around and almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.

However, "a snake cannot move without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings." You He Renlong is determined to be promoted to a higher position, but your brothers will not accompany you.

He Renlong knew that his position as chief military officer was so easy to get, not to mention that these people were not his own men, but were only assigned to his command temporarily.

He had no choice but to shout loudly: "Attack quickly, and whoever can take the enemy chief's head will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

"What?" the cavalry asked in unison, "We didn't hear clearly!"

He Renlong almost bit his teeth into pieces, he was bargaining with himself like this! In desperation, he had no choice but to respond quickly: "The rest of the soldiers will each be rewarded with five taels of silver!"

Only then did everyone receive the order, form three teams at the front and back, and charge toward Wu Xian's troops one after another.

It didn't matter this rush, Wu Xian couldn't resist it anymore. It's not that Wu Xian is incompetent, but that only the corps commander of these five hundred "hair gourds" has been trained, and the other captains and flag commanders have not had time to be trained. Therefore, if the formation is slightly chaotic, they cannot resist.

Zhang Shun was beating the drum on the stage while looking at Wukong and Wang Yidao. Now he only has a hundred personal guards led by Wukong around him. If he is released again, he will really be alone.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Shun quickly ordered: "Wang Yidao listens to the order and quickly supports Wu Xian to resist the enemy cavalry!"

Wang Yidao was overjoyed when he heard this. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He immediately screamed and led his two hundred men to rush over.

Zhang Shun didn't look at him, but closed his eyes weakly. "Not teaching the people to fight means abandoning them." I never thought that one day I could be so cold-blooded and ruthless!

"General!" Ma Yingniang's voice suddenly sounded, "I will guard you until we die together!"

She stood there and saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around Zhang Shun. Even if she didn't understand the art of war, she knew what this meant.

"No! This is not your destination!" Zhang Shun shouted sternly, "If you lose this battle, I order you to break through the siege and escape!"

He has used up all the tricks he can use. Do you want to appear like a wave in the long river of history and be completely buried here?

What is the chance of victory?

Suddenly Zhang Shun's right arm hurt, and the drumstick in his hand fell down with a "clack".

"General!" Following Ma Yingniang's scream, Zhang Shun looked down and saw that his right forearm had been pierced by a stray arrow, and blood stained Zhang Shun's sleeves red.

Inexplicably, Zhang Shun recalled a passage he had read when he was young in his previous life, and he and his deskmate were red-faced: On the road to success, should we persevere to the end, or should we continue in another direction?

Zhang Shun chuckled, feeling ridiculous that he had such boring thoughts at this time.

He bent down and stretched out his left hand to pick up the drumstick, handed it to Ma Yingniang and said, "If you don't want to leave, then play the drum for me for a while. I'm tired!"
