At this time, as the sky became brighter, several important generals in the refugee army camp began to become unable to sit still!
"King Chuang, let's do it! This Liu Ruyi is nothing more than that! When all our subordinates swarm forward, we will definitely skin him like Duke Qi today!"
"King Chuang, Liu Ruyi has a false reputation, but he is just a thief who deceives the world! His colorful stone army is all new troops! I am afraid I have never seen such a big scene! Our rebel army must not miss this opportunity.
!”
"King Chuang, Hao Yaoqi is willing to be the vanguard of the army!"
"Chuang Wang, Chuang Wang..."
Seeing Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong, Hao Yaoqi and other important generals expressing their attitudes, Li Zicheng's heart felt like a fire, extremely hot!
Judging from the results of the raid by Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi, although the Caishi Army on the opposite side has some combat power, it is definitely very different from what Li Zicheng imagined!
In particular, the Caishi Army's most proud and intimidating cannon soldiers did not show much performance in the melee just now. Even if they are slightly sharper than the ordinary army's cannons, they will definitely not be used against them.
The refugee army inflicts fatal damage!
On the contrary, it was the spearmen of the Caishi Army who excelled in several key hand-to-hand battles, which left a deep impression on Li Zicheng!
But, then again!
What did the rebels rely on for their rebellion? Wasn't it based on this majestic naked body?
When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the rebels are not afraid of anyone!
After all, there are tens of millions of people in the world. As long as the old brothers are here, as long as the banner of King Chuang is there, as long as the time is right, Li Zicheng can wave his hand, and there will always be countless sons and daughters willing to charge into battle for him!
Li Zicheng's eyes showed a deep desire, but after a moment, he forced himself to calm down and turned to look at Ma Shouying, the 'Lao Hui Hui'!
What a fine person Ma Shouying was, why didn't he understand what Li Zicheng meant? He hurriedly raised his hands and said: "King Chuang, I will lead all the camps on the left. I am willing to be King Chuang and charge into the battle for the rebel army!"
Li Zicheng smiled slightly, and the gloom on his face instantly relaxed a lot. However, he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he looked at Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing on the side!
Although Song Xiance was not handsome in appearance and was not actually highly educated, he had known Li Zicheng for many years and gained Li Zicheng's trust. Seeing Li Zicheng's questioning eyes, Song Xiance pondered for a moment and said: "King Chuang, our army's food and grass
There are not many left, and we can no longer waste it with Liu Ruyi! Fortunately, God has blessed us. At this time, our rebel soldiers are united and encouraged. It is a good opportunity to annihilate Liu Ruyi and his colorful stone army in one go! My subordinates agree to immediately
send troops!"
The smile on Li Zicheng's face became even bigger. With Song Xiance's statement, he felt like he had received a reassurance. However, Li Zicheng's greatest strength was that he could listen to other people's opinions. Even if he was just pretending, he still looked at them.
In the direction of the Ox-Venus star.
Although Niu Jinxing has the trust of Li Zicheng, at this moment, far from the refugee army conquering the capital, he has monopolized power and is in the position of a minister. Even compared with Song Xiance, his qualifications are slightly less than half!
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Niu Jinxing. Niu Jinxing wanted to say something, but when he saw the hopeful eyes of the generals around him, he swallowed hard and said with a smile: "King Chuang and the military advisor,
The words of all the generals are extremely clear, and my subordinates are willing to pay attention to King Chuang!"
"Okay! Okay~!" Li Zicheng couldn't help but laugh. His somewhat melancholy face suddenly showed a heroic spirit. He looked back and walked to his throne, "Since this is a plan brainstormed by all the generals and it is God's will, then Li Zicheng
How can I stop you! Here comes someone! Send us a military order to rest for half an hour and prepare to launch a general attack on Liu Ruyi!"
"Chuang Wang Yingming!"
"Chuang Wang Yingming!"
The generals under his command suddenly became excited!
~~~~~~
The cold wind came from the north and rolled violently across the bare ground, spreading the moisture from the Yellow River onto the plain southeast of Luoyang City.
On the position of the Suzaku Camp, the battle had just ended. Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun finally failed to hold on and fled to the north in a panic, leaving only corpses on the ground.
On the tawny land, the dark red blood has solidified, forming a series of dazzling blood scars. As the piercing north wind whizzes by, the smell of dry, wet and salty blood fills the air and lingers!
However, at this time, none of the new army soldiers in the Suzaku Camp had the strength to pay attention to this anymore!
After a arduous and fierce battle in the middle of the night, they were already exhausted physically and mentally. They leaned one by one in the deep trench and relied on each other's body temperature to keep warm!
On Chunwa's forehead, a two-inch-long gash was cut by a sharp blade at some unknown time. The blood had condensed into a faint scar, but he didn't even bother to pay attention to it. With a few soldiers, he quickly
Patrolling the long position!
Although the Suzaku Battalion fought tooth and nail to defend this assault by the refugee army, the casualties were quite heavy!
According to preliminary statistics, there were at least 2,000 casualties in the battle at the Suzaku Camp, of which more than 800 were killed. This would have been unimaginable for the previous Caishi Army!
The reasons for this are, on the one hand, these soldiers are all new troops. Even if they are led by veteran army officers, it is difficult for them to be connected end to end in the mass offensive of the refugee army. In addition, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun are all in trouble.
It was the generals who used the air route to encircle the two wings. Suddenly, the Suzaku Battalion had no choice but to use the new army to fight against the elites and resist on their own. As a result, casualties were inevitable!
On the other hand, and the most critical reason, it was winter, the weather was too cold, and it was a night battle. In many cases, it was difficult for the enemy and us to distinguish each other!
In this era, the nutritional conditions were far from those of later generations. Due to eating less meat, many people suffered from night blindness!
Although the living conditions of the Caishi Army were the best in the entire Ming Dynasty, Liu Ruyi was helpless under such harsh weather conditions!
After a quick inspection, Chunwa already had a rough idea. He took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote down a simple note, and handed it to the soldiers around him, "Quick, report it to the general immediately!"
"yes!"
~~~~~~~~
In the temporary bunker, Liu Ruyi quickly browsed the latest battle report presented by Chun Wa, but he breathed a sigh of relief!
Originally, according to the troop deployment conditions of the Zhuque Battalion and the harsh weather conditions tonight, Liu Ruyi thought that the Suzaku Battalion would have to pay at least 3,000 casualties in this battle. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be 1,000 lower than his expectation. It was really
What an unexpected surprise!
From the very beginning of the establishment of Zhuque Camp, Liu Ruyi already had a strong idea of her in her heart!
That is, to build this army into a steel sword that can truly fight in hand-to-hand combat!
In this era, it is the period of slow transition between hot and cold weapons. It is impossible for hot weapons to replace cold weapons all at once. And with the current conditions and the level of scientific and technological productivity, Liu Ruyi does not have the ability to create even the simplest weapon.
'Made in Hanyang'!
Under this situation, the Caishi Army must have a steel knife that can stand in front of the fragile firearms soldiers and use flesh and blood to create sufficient output conditions for the latter!
But if you want to refine this steel sword, weapons, and equipment can only be regarded as secondary conditions. The most important thing is that this steel sword must have the determination to move forward bravely and not be afraid of death!
There is never a shortcut to this. The only thing you can rely on is the test of blood and fire!
At that level, even if he faced Huang Taiji's Eight Banners cavalry, Liu Ruyi would still have the confidence to use this steel knife to fight against them!
"General! There is the latest movement of the bandits ahead!" At this time, the soldiers guarding the side immediately reported the news from the soldiers on the watchtower to Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi took the telescope handed by the soldier and looked towards the refugee army camp, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, the camp of the refugee army was filled with smoke and crowds, and countless figures were coming and going. It was obvious that they were mobilizing on a large scale!
It seems that Li Zicheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and was about to take action!
The forbearance of the Suzaku Camp has finally paid off, and the real test has just begun!
"Go! Inform the Chunwa Division to concentrate their forces and defend the middle! In addition, order Huolang's Qinglong Battalion to press forward and defend the left wing of the Suzaku Camp, and order Pu Sheng's White Tiger Battalion to defend the right wing of the Suzaku Camp! Let Wencheng's Artillery Battalion do the same.
Be ready, wait for the order from your father-in-law, and be ready to fight at any time!" Liu Ruyi issued a series of orders to his soldiers!
"Yes!" The soldiers did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly divided into several groups, and quickly conveyed Liu Ruyi's latest order to the front lines of the armies!
~~~~~~~
At the beginning of the hour, probably a little past seven o'clock in the future, the rising sun had broken through the clouds, and the soft sunlight spread evenly on the ground.
At this time, the direction of the refugee army took the lead in taking action!
With the rhythmic beating of drums, a row of black dots appeared on the horizon ahead, but soon they connected into a line, and then formed a side. In an instant, the edges were no longer visible!
A rough estimate is that there are at least 50,000 people!
They shouted loudly, took steps forward, and rushed toward the Colored Stone Army's camp like an overwhelming force!
Liu Ruyi's expression began to become serious. Although he had experienced hundreds of battles, this was the first time Liu Ruyi had seen such a large-scale charge scene!
Although most of the people in front were hungry people in ragged clothes, with such a large scale and grand momentum, in China, not to mention in the land of East Asia, except for him, Li Zicheng, I am afraid that no one would dare to do such a big thing!
Even Huang Taiji would find it difficult to possess this ability!
After all, that is an old fox, and he will definitely not adopt such a simple but crude method! The life of an Eight Banners soldier is very precious!
Only Li Zicheng could regard human life as such!
The wave of refugee soldiers was overwhelming, like a roaring tsunami. In a short time, they were almost rushing to the colorful stone army formation!
Liu Ruyi did not hesitate at this time and coldly ordered to the soldiers around him: "Notify all armies to prepare for battle! Order the artillery battalion to use full firepower!"
"Yes!" The soldiers left quickly!
For a moment, 'Boom...Boom...Boom...' sounded like continuous thunder in the sky, and the flashing red artillery shells passed through the air and fell directly in the direction of the refugee army's charge...
