There will be two big jobs tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
The boat will work hard to keep it updated!
~~~~~~
At this time, the frontal battle situation has eased slightly, but the left and right wings are in full swing, and the fierce battle is in full swing!
On the right wing, Liu Tichun's 3,000 elite refugee troops have entered the battle formation of the Suzaku Camp. Both sides have no firearms support and rely entirely on physical combat!
At the beginning, these new army soldiers were obviously not used to the indomitable charging momentum of the refugee army, and they were retreating steadily. If it were not for the trenches and earth walls as support, they might not have been able to hold on long ago!
However, with the increase in the intensity of the battle and the timely support from Cao Jizhou's troops, these new army soldiers have gradually found the rhythm of the battle. Although they do not yet have the strength to devour Liu Tichun's refugee army in one go, they are gaining in momentum.
However, they are no longer lagging behind, and can barely compete with these elites of the refugee army!
The war on the left is more complicated!
Yuan Zongdi obviously understands people's hearts better than Liu Tichun. More than 2,000 elite men under his command bypassed the westernmost defense line of the Suzaku Camp and charged into the Suzaku Camp's formation from the southwest flank!
At that time, most of Chunwa and the soldiers' energy was concentrated on the frontal battlefield. They never expected that Yuan Zongdi would actually carry out such a move, and he was completely unprepared!
The combat power of Yuan Zongdi's men was also more difficult to deal with than Liu Tichun. They occupied the heights on the south side of the "mountain"-shaped trench of Suzaku Camp, commanding from above, and continuously launched attacks on the soldiers!
Although Huolang's reinforcements have arrived, at this moment, the two sides are already entangled!
Yuan Zongdi's purpose was extremely clear. He already understood that the soldiers on the left wing of the Caishi Army were all new troops with low combat power, so he did not fight against Chunwa's elite veteran army at all, but singled out these soft soldiers.
Persimmon pinch, it seems that he wants to use his bloody momentum to scare these new army soldiers!
Due to the limitations of the terrain, Chunwa couldn't use his strength. He was stuck in the middle area on the right side of the battle formation, unable to advance or retreat. It was extremely embarrassing!
On the left, the situation is already very critical!
~~~~~
Inside the temporary bunker, Liu Ruyi's face looked a little ferocious!
Although the New Army will definitely encounter some difficulties when fighting, and Liu Ruyi has been prepared for this, under such a situation, seeing the New Army soldiers falling one after another, Liu Ruyi still feels helpless.
accept!
These soldiers are all good young men!
If they had enough time to practice, they would definitely not be like today when they encountered the sharp impact of the refugee army and were completely unable to breathe. They would only be beaten passively!
But it has reached this level, and Liu Ruyi will never send any more reinforcements. Whether they can survive it all depends on the ability of these new army soldiers!
Jade cannot be sharpened without being sharpened, and iron~~~ can become steel without being refined hundreds of times.
Although the situation is critical at the moment, the Suzaku Battalion has defeated the frontal enemy, and reinforcements from Chun Wa and Cao Jizhou have also been in place. In general, the Caishi Army has no room to fight back!
Now that these new army soldiers have arrived on the battlefield, they have lost the opportunity to choose. If they want to survive, they can only do their best to physically eliminate all the enemies in front of them!
Not far away, the light of the fire swayed back and forth with the cold wind, and the screams of killing went straight into the sky. The wet and salty smell of blood was so distant, yet so clear and profound on this cold winter night!
After looking at the battle situation not far away, and then at Liu Ruyi's cold expression without a hint of coldness, Wang Chengen wanted to say something, but with the lessons learned just now, he opened his lips forcefully, but he couldn't say anything.
Didn't even say it!
Really feeling everything in front of him, Wang Chengen suddenly felt an unspeakable fear in his heart!
He was not afraid that the Caishi Army would be defeated, but he was afraid...
An 'always victorious general' who has experienced hundreds of battles, is decisive in killing, and has almost never suffered a defeat, but at this critical moment, he has no intention of sending reinforcements at all, then...
----- Either he is absolutely sure, or he is a complete madman!
But based on his personal senses and judgment, Wang Chengen is obviously more willing to believe the former!
After all, back then, Liu Ruyi only had 7,000 men and was able to capture Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty. However, these were just weaklings in front of them. How could they be compared with the elite Eight Banners of Huang Taiji?
If it is really as I guessed...
Wang Chengen couldn't help but shudder!
Is this what he meant by ‘fighting to support war’?
If this is really the case, and he can be so cruel to his own people, what about his enemies...
Wang Chengen suddenly remembered Gao Qiqian, whom he knew well!
Gao Qiqian, this bastard, what kind of temperament does he have? How could he hide it from Wang Chengen's 'fiery eyes'?
It is no exaggeration to say that he is as timid as a mouse and as cheap as a dog!
How could such a person die heroically on the battlefield?
Could it be...
Wang Chengen took a breath of cold air, but he didn't dare to think about it anymore...
"Eunuch Wang, are you~~ very cold?" At this time, Liu Ruyi suddenly smiled and patted Wang Chengen on the shoulder.
Wang Chengen's mind was already wandering. Although Liu Ruyi's shot was not very powerful, it was like the tower of King Li's Qiankun Pagoda. It crushed most of Wang Chengen's seven souls at once!
"Qi, Qi, Duke of Qi, slave, slave, I'm just, I'm just thinking about something..." Wang Chengen's bones were almost weak, but he held on to his body, tried his best to squeeze out half a smile, and trembled at the
Liu Ruyi explained.
"Haha! Under such circumstances, Eunuch Wang, what did you think of?" Liu Ruyi had no intention of letting Wang Chengen go, and smiled.
"Slave, slave..." Wang Chengen's bile was rising to his throat. Even when facing the thunderous wrath of Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen had never been so frightened!
But at this time, the Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, the actual number two figure in the Ming Dynasty, actually wet his pants!
Perhaps seeing that Wang Chengen's spirit was about to collapse, Liu Ruyi's tone softened, "Eunuch Wang, do you know? As a man, you can't lose! No matter what you do! This time, the reason why Liu sent troops to the Central Plains was because
This is to give face to the emperor, and also to give face to you, the prince! But you have also seen the current situation! Our Caishi Army has many new troops, but its combat power is not yet strong! Such a hasty battle will cause great losses!"
"Yes! Yes! Duke Qi's sincerity will be seen day by day! I will definitely report the truth to the emperor!" Wang Chengen quickly lowered his body respectfully, not daring to express his anger!
Liu Ruyi smiled and shook his head, "No! No! Eunuch Wang, in the heart of the emperor, Ruyi is just a dog! When Ruyi is needed, he will be led out and held in front, but if Ruyi is not needed,
What? Eunuch Wang, you know, it’s hard to get what you want!”
"Qi, Duke of Qi, slave..." Wang Chengen really wanted to die and couldn't find a place to die at this time. Liu Ruyi said this, even if he had a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to take it!
"Haha!" Liu Ruyi suddenly patted Wang Chengen on the shoulder, "Eunuch Wang, you don't have to be so nervous! In Ruyi's opinion, Eunuch Wang, you are a friend worth making for Ruyi!"
Wang Chengen was startled and glanced at Liu Ruyi with some confusion, "Qi, Duke of Qi, you..."
Liu Ruyi smiled softly, but pointed to the battlefield where the left wing was fighting fiercely, changed the subject and said: "My lord, do you know? Why are the soldiers at the front so critical, but Ruyi refuses to send reinforcements?"
"Uh? This... maybe, maybe Duke Qi, you think that the soldiers at the front are still brave, so they will not necessarily lose, right?" Wang Chengen secretly looked at Liu Ruyi's face and said carefully.
"Haha! Eunuch Wang, you are only half right!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and carefully explained to Wang Chengen: "The reason why it is so difficult for the soldiers at the front is, on the one hand, because they are new troops and have no experience, so they cannot correctly and quickly handle emergencies on the battlefield at this time! Furthermore, it is dark night
, cannot see the number of enemies clearly, cannot feel the real existence of enemies, the soldiers are too nervous! But ~, these are not the key! Tonight, although Li Chuang's attack seems to be menacing, in fact, it is just
A slight temptation! If Ruyi’s guess is correct, it will be after dawn that he will meet us for the truth!”
Wang Chengen also understood what Liu Ruyi meant at this time, "Qi Guogong, you, you mean, Li Zicheng will fight us desperately only after dawn?"
"Haha! Not bad!" Liu Ruyi smiled and gave Wang Chengen a thumbs up. However, after a moment, Liu Ruyi turned around and winked at Wang Chengen, asking him to follow her.
Wang Chengen was an expert at serving people, so he naturally understood what Liu Ruyi meant, and hurriedly followed Liu Ruyi carefully.
Liu Ruyi strode out of the bunker, turned around and climbed up a larger artificial soil slope behind.
There are plains outside Luoyang City, and the terrain is very regular. Although it is cold winter, the soil is very soft. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the famous 'Luoyang shovel' was invented by the Luoyang people in later generations!
At this time, a hundred steps behind Liu Ruyi's 'Bunker Command', the soldiers had already pushed up a mound of earth!
The mound is not too high, but it is about half a person higher than the normal terrain!
The width could not be seen for the time being, but it was extremely long. Wang Chengen looked around and found that there was no end in sight on both sides.
The mound is filled with all kinds of dead grass and branches. Look carefully, there are many sandbags as cover in front of you!
Several soldiers climbed up the mound first, and Liu Ruyi also climbed up. Wang Chengen was weak and managed to climb to the top with the help of several soldiers.
At this time, a young and shameless officer knelt down respectfully in front of Liu Ruyi and said, "See you, Lord!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and patted the young officer on the shoulder, "Wen Baihu, how are the preparations, brothers?"
This young man turned out to be the artillery cadet Wen Cheng whom Liu Ruyi admired very much.
Wen Cheng hurriedly saluted Liu Ruyi respectfully, and then led Liu Ruyi to the rear of the breakthrough. He waved to several young soldiers around him, and together they lifted up a large piece of oilcloth covering it!
Suddenly, a huge black muzzle with a cold light appeared in front of everyone.
"General, please look!"
Wen Cheng pointed from the muzzle of this huge cannon along both sides, "From the center of this red cannon, there are twenty-seven cannons on the left, including eight red cannons and twelve medium-sized Franco machine guns.
Seven small guns! On the right side, there are thirty-nine guns, eleven red cannons, twenty medium-sized Franco machine guns, and eight small guns! A total of sixty-six guns! Eight hundred and seven gunners! Each gun
, all have more than thirty artillery shells, and they are all ready! They can be fired at any time as long as you give the order, general!"
