"What? The grain and grass camp was destroyed by the Colored Stone Army? Not even a grain of rice is left?"
In the refugee army camp, Li Zicheng, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by the news. The blood stuck in his throat couldn't help but spray out violently!
In today's fierce battle with the Caishi Army, although he did not send out the most elite cavalry from the old camp, Li Zicheng had basically used all the other forces he could use. Unfortunately, he did not get the effect he wanted!
Anxiety, worry, fear, and confusion have tortured this man from northern Shaanxi to the point of haggard. Finally, it was late at night, and he had just fallen asleep, but he was suddenly awakened by the bad news!
"King Chuang, King Chuang! Are you okay?"
"King Chuang, all of my subordinates are incompetent. I beg King Chuang to punish them!"
"King Chuang, you have to take care of yourself! At this critical moment, you, you must not fall!"
The few attendants around him were already panicking, and they were wailing and crying, as if Li Zicheng had passed away!
Li Zicheng endured the severe pain in his chest and tried to calm down his nerves!
From the early years of Chongzhen to the present, Li Zicheng has long been accustomed to strong winds and waves. He knows that at such moments, he must stay calm!
As the supreme leader of the rebels, he has finally brought the rebels to where they are today. He will never allow himself to fall at this moment!
"Why the hell are you crying! I'm not dead yet? Come, go, go, invite the general division and all the generals, so-and-so has something important to discuss! Hurry! Hurry!" Li Zicheng covered his head with all his strength.
Chest, rarely cursed at the attendants around him!
"Yes! Yes!" How could the attendants dare to neglect? After a moment, several people rushed out of the tent.
~~~~~~~
At this time, at the Caishi Army camp, Liu Ruyi also received news that Zhang Mu and Hao Da had succeeded!
Although it was late at night, the lights were brightly lit in Liu Ruyi's tent, and generals from all walks of life were gathered together!
"Haha! Brother Zhang, you are really amazing! You actually came up with such a wonderful idea! Tell us, you, how did you find out that the wind direction changed?" Xiao Liuer was the most impatient and grabbed Zhang Mu's hand.
Arm, laughed loudly, and asked Zhang Mu to give an explanation.
"That's right, that's right! Brother Zhang, you have such ability, but you can't hide your secrets! But you have to teach everyone well, why don't you treat me to a drink?"
"..."
The generals' words to each other made their moods get higher and higher!
This made Zhang Mu feel a little embarrassed, and he repeatedly cupped his hands and said: "My lord, generals, young generals, young generals, it's just a fluke, but I don't deserve such praise from the generals!"
"Hey~~~! Brother Zhang, you are out of touch when you say this! All of the people here are our brothers! They are all the brothers of the Duke! How did you plan tonight's battle? Just say it.
!The Duke of Guo will definitely mark your first meritorious service!"
Since Zhang Mu was commanding the Chinese cavalry in this battle, Xiao Liuer subconsciously regarded Zhang Mu as a brother in the Chinese army camp. Naturally, he wanted to support Zhang Mu in front of Liu Ruyi and the generals.
Aura!
"Liu'er! You don't have to be so protective of your calf! Brother Zhang Mu is good. Look, how about transferring him to my Suzaku Camp? Our Suzaku Camp loves heroes the most!" Chunwa also fell in love with this figure.
A tall and handsome man, he wants to win him over to his Suzaku camp!
"Go, go, let's go! Chunwa, don't try to fight with brother! Brother Zhang Mu must be from our Central Military Camp! Don't forget, he can lead the cavalry from our Central Military Camp! The Duke of the State is here.
, if you dare to force yourself, we will ask the Duke to make the decision!" Although Xiao Liuer and Chun Wa are very familiar with each other, he is also a little afraid of Chun Wa, a master who is willing to risk his life, so he hurriedly pulled Zhang Mu aside.
He looked at Liu Ruyi and said.
Zhang Mu didn't expect that just after this first battle, he would become so popular in the army. He knelt down in front of Liu Ruyi respectfully, "My lord, the young general just did his duty. He never thought that he would become so popular in the army."
I take credit for my mistakes, and I am willing to let the Duke arrange everything!"
Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, "Haha! Zhang Mu, you don't have to be nervous! That's how it is in the army, the strong are respected! If you are capable, brothers and sons will respect you! But if it's the opposite, you will suffer the consequences yourself.
You know it! Therefore, you must think twice before doing anything! In war, people will die after all! Our sons and daughters of the Colorful Stone Army are all heroes, and their lives are precious! Tonight, you have done a good job, and you have completed your mission.
, and it didn’t cause too many casualties, so it suits me very well!”
Zhang Mu couldn't help but be overjoyed. He actually received praise from the Duke himself. This, this...
Zhang Mu was so happy that he almost fainted and kowtowed hurriedly: "Thank you so much, Lord Duke, for giving me this opportunity! The young general is willing to work hard and die for Lord Duke!"
"Haha! Get up! You don't have to be so formal! In tonight's battle, you will be the first meritorious, Hao Da will be the second meritorious, and all the other brothers will be the third meritorious! Make a note of it and make a unified settlement after the war!" Liu Ruyi turned around and looked back.
He glanced at the scribe behind him and said solemnly.
"Yes! I understand!" The scribe quickly spread out a piece of white paper and started recording it quickly!
"Thank you, Mr. Guo, thank you, Mr. Guo!" Zhang Mu and Hao Da were overjoyed again and kowtowed to Liu Ruyi repeatedly.
Liu Ruyi smiled and waved her hand for the two of them to stand up, "Zhang Mu, since the brothers want to know your magic method, why don't you tell me and let the generals hear it! Our Colored Stone Army will always be an indivisible whole! But you can't
Keep it private!”
Liu Ruyi said as if joking.
Zhang Mu hurriedly stood up, bowed to the generals, and then said to Liu Ruyi: "My lord, generals, this matter is actually very simple! Look at the city of Luoyang, surrounded by plains.
The hometown is very similar! Since it is a plain, there cannot be just one kind of wind! Therefore, two nights ago, Beizhi paid special attention and observed the wind direction near the refugee army's granary camp! Sure enough, Beizhi found him
Some tips!”
Zhang Mu paused and then explained: "Because it is winter now, the wind direction is mostly blowing from the north, which is what we call the north wind! But late at night, the north wind has lost its force, and the slightly milder south wind has
Take the upper hand! Therefore, for a period of time, the south wind will blow against the north wind! I am taking advantage of this opportunity to send troops so that the refugee army has no chance to react!"
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but nodded!
As the saying goes, from a young man to a great man, as a qualified general, it is not enough just to be rich in strategies and experienced in battles!
With a keen sense of smell and sharp observation, he is as quiet as a cunning fox and as active as a ferocious wolf. He can spot the opportunity and kill him with one blow!
This is the difference between a general and a good general!
Although Zhang Mu is young, he already has the beginnings of a good general. If given time, he will surely be able to stand alone in the Colored Stone Army!
For young people who are capable and ambitious, Liu Ruyi has always spared no effort and cultivated them without hesitation. Zhang Mu has already won Liu Ruyi's heart by relying on his own strength!
At this time, Huo Lang said: "Brother Zhang Mu, according to what you said, if we use the momentum of the north wind to attack the camp of the refugee army from the north, we will definitely have the same effect as this battle.
?”
Zhang Mu was startled and nodded quickly, "General Huolang is right. If there is a north wind, maybe the effect will be better! However, the refugee army in the north is heavily defended, and it is difficult for our Qianerlang to sneak around quietly.
In the past, that’s why I chose the more difficult south side for this battle!”
Huo Lang nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Brother Zhang Mu, if I want to attack Luoyang City, which side do you think is the best?"
"Uh? This..." Zhang Mu didn't understand what Huolang meant for a moment and didn't know how to answer!
Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "Zhang Mu, don't be nervous! But it doesn't matter!"
Zhang Mu finally calmed down, thought for a moment, and then said: "If Beizhi is allowed to attack Luoyang, Beizhi will be like a refugee army, surrounded by three and one missing! After all, Luoyang City has high walls and thick walls, and is not like an ordinary small city.
Without an absolute advantage in military strength, it would be difficult to capture it in one go! However, if Beizhi has very few troops, Beizhi might focus on attacking the east gate!"
Huo Lang was startled when he heard this, but he glanced at Liu Ruyi and nodded slightly.
Liu Ruyi smiled knowingly. It seems that Zhang Mu also discovered the loophole in the east gate of Luoyang City!
However, with the enemy at hand, this was obviously not the time to study the gains and losses of Luoyang City. Liu Ruyi calmed down her mind, glanced at the generals, and solemnly said: "Everyone, although our army succeeded in the sneak attack on the refugee army's grain and grass camp, it failed to do so.
After hurting the bones of the refugee army, the mad dog will get angry and bite people, let alone a hero like Li Zicheng? I think tomorrow is destined to be unrest!"
Huo Lang nodded, "Yes! What the general said is true! Today, we have cut off Li Zicheng's retreat! If he does not want his army to fall apart and repeat Gao Yingxiang's mistakes, then capturing Luoyang City is his only option at this time.
Choose! Tomorrow, Li Zicheng will fight for his life!"
The faces of all the generals became solemn!
Although Li Zicheng was just a rogue and his combat power was not to be feared, the ants were anxious and could bite people, not to mention that Li Zicheng still had an army of hundreds of thousands at his command.
If he risked his life, the world would be turned upside down again!
But it has reached this point, and only one of the two sides is destined to survive!
A bloody battle is inevitable!
Liu Ruyi scanned the expressions of the generals one by one and suddenly smiled: "Everyone, are you afraid?"
"Afraid? Afraid of a ball? We, the Caishi Army, are all arrogant men. We can only die standing up, never live on our knees! If anyone is afraid, please stand up, and I, the Sixth Master, will give him a ride in advance today!
"Xiao Liu'er, with a ferocious face, jumped out first!
He has grown up with Liu Ruyi since childhood. As Liu Ruyi's most loyal slave and 'thug', he has already understood Liu Ruyi's look!
"Sixth Master is right! I'm afraid of a ball! Huang Taiji, Dorgon, and I are all worthy, let alone Li Zicheng? I, Chunwa, am willing to follow the general and fight to the end!"
"I am willing to follow the general and fight to the end!"
"I am willing to follow the general and fight to the end!"
All the generals fell to their knees with cheers!
Liu Ruyi nodded slightly!
The time has come for a decisive battle, and Li Zicheng is also anxious to jump over the wall. Conspiracies and tricks have no big effect at this time. The only thing he can count on is the steel knife in his hand!
But at this time, the new troops accounted for the majority of the Caishi Army!
Liu Ruyi must let these new recruits muster up their courage to block Li Zicheng's final blow with their flesh and blood!
"Very good! Very good! Send my military order, all armies are on strict guard! Guard their respective camps! Tomorrow, I will see Li Zicheng's head in front of me with my own eyes!"
