In the east, the morning sun pierces the dark clouds, and dawn raises its head from the bottom of the clouds.
In the large formation of the refugee army, Liu Zongmin, Hao Yaoqi, Li Guo, Ma Shouying, He Yilong, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and other generals gathered together
Although Li Zicheng's face could not hide his haggard look, his expression was still determined. He stood up straight and his piercing eyes swept over the generals in front of him one by one!
"Brothers, you must all know what is happening at this time, right?" Li Zicheng calmed his nerves slightly and tried to speak as calmly as possible.
"King Chuang, this Liu Ruyi is really despicable! He is going to cut off the livelihood of our rebel army! We must not let him go like this! At this time, we still have an army of more than 400,000, and we are fully capable of fighting with Liu
Let’s fight this bastard like Ruyi!” Liu Zongmin jumped out first.
He is an iron-clad man who never knows what it means to retreat. Although the Caishi Army is strong, Liu Zongmin has always been the staunchest fighter among the refugee army!
"King Chuang, Master Liu is right! At this point, our sons have no way out! Either the enemy dies or we die! If we want to survive, we can only sacrifice Liu Ruyi's head to the flag!" Hao Yaoqi also stood.
Get up and say.
Although he came from a humble background, Hao Yaoqi was one of the few extremely clear-headed people in the refugee army. He could see through the problem at a glance!
In this land, only one side, the refugee army or the colored stone army, can continue to survive!
"King Chuang, shall we fight with Liu Ruyi?"
"King Chuang, who will win depends on today's fight! The young general is willing to be the pioneer for King Chuang!"
"..."
Seeing the generals expressing their attitudes one after another, Li Zicheng couldn't help but nodded with relief.
At this time, although the food and grass have been destroyed and the retreat has been decided, this does not mean that the refugee army has no chance to survive!
As long as Liu Ruyi is defeated and Luoyang City is captured, everything will be back on track!
Yesterday's fierce battle, although the Caishi Army was sharp and showed a certain degree of combat effectiveness, the damage to the refugee army was not great!
After all, what the refugee army is best at is the so-called "human sea" tactic, which means millions of cannon fodder will be killed. As long as the old camp is still there, their roots will still be there!
Although the future is dangerous at this time, as a powerful and important military force in this era, the generals of the refugee army are not afraid, but have shown their desire to win!
Looking at the determined faces in front of him, Li Zicheng's heart was suddenly filled with warmth!
It has been more than ten years since the rebels finally got to this point. He and his brothers will never allow Liu Ruyi, a bastard, to crush their dreams with a single slash at this moment!
"Brothers, you are all good! I, Li Zicheng, have brothers like you to help me, so why should I worry about my success?"
Li Zicheng let out a heavy breath, "Although the Caishi Army is sharp, they are still humans and will be defeated! Just like the imperial officers and soldiers we defeated before! Today, we are going to kill Liu Ruyi here.
Let the flag of my rebel army spread throughout the world! Let everyone, parents and fellow villagers, have food to eat and clothing to wear! Let your brothers’ children and relatives enjoy glory forever!”
"Chuang Wang Yingming!"
"I am willing to die for King Chuang!"
"I am willing to die for King Chuang..."
The generals under his command could not help shouting hysterically!
I have to say that although Li Zicheng appears a little indecisive in many cases, after all, he comes from a background of trivial work at the grassroots level and is the best at grasping and inspiring people!
Just a few words have already aroused the emotions of the generals!
"Okay! Very good! If that's the case! Let's fight to the death with Liu Ruyi today!"
Li Zicheng's aura suddenly changed, and an indescribable domineering flash appeared in his eyes, as if he had returned to the time when he was in southern Shaanxi, western Henan and other places at the beginning of the year.
"Where is Hao Yaoqi?"
"The general is here!" Hao Yaoqi quickly knelt down on one knee and respectfully knelt in front of Li Zicheng!
"Today, your troops will directly attack the left wing of the Caishi Army camp! No matter how much it costs, we must break through an opening!"
"Yes! I will obey your orders!"
"Ma Shouying, where is He Yilong?"
"The last general is here!" Lao Huihui Ma Shouying and Ge Liyan He Yilong hurriedly came out and knelt down!
Although Ma Shouying was not willing to fight Liu Ruyi so early in his heart, he had reached this point and had no way to retreat. He just hoped that if he broke into the camp today, he could show off his power and defeat the Caishi Army in one battle.
!
"I order you two to attack the middle road of the Caishi Army today! Although the Caishi Army has sharp weapons, we are not short of manpower! Brother Ma, I will leave you here to take care of the battle situation in the middle!" Li Zicheng finished speaking,
Give Ma Shouying a deep bow!
If we go by the history of the refugee army who started their rebellion, Ma Shouying and Gao Yingxiang are from the same era, earlier than Li Zicheng!
Although the Gezuo camps of Ma Shouying and He Yilong were attached to the Chuang camp at this time, Li Zicheng at this time was far from holding the power alone after the founding of Dashun. He did not dare to really show off his Chuang camp in front of Ma Shouying.
The king’s airs!
Ma Shouying was very satisfied with Li Zicheng's attitude. He turned to look at He Yilong who was standing aside. He Yilong nodded slightly.
Ma Shouying then hurriedly returned the courtesy to Li Zicheng respectfully and said: "King Chuang is too polite! Liu Ruyi is the common enemy of our rebel army! If I can receive such kindness from King Chuang today, I will do my best to protect the battle situation in the middle of the army!"
"
Li Zicheng didn't say much anymore, he just clasped his fists heavily and said loudly: "Yuan Zongdi, where is Liu Tichun?"
"The general is here!" Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun rushed out of the queue!
Li Zicheng patted the shoulders of the two of them hard, "You two have contributed a lot in the past two days! I didn't want to send you to the battlefield again! But Liu Ruyi pushed too hard, so I can only work hard for the two brothers! Today
, the right wing of the Caishi Army, please ask two brothers!"
Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun couldn't help being deeply moved by what Li Zicheng said. They were Li Zicheng's confidants. They knelt down and said in unison: "I am willing to die for King Chuang!"
Li Zicheng nodded, glanced at the generals, and shouted: "Liu Zongmin, where is Li Guo?"
"The general is here!" The two of them hurriedly walked out of the queue together, kneeling respectfully and saying.
Li Zicheng looked at the two people, and they both looked at him with determined eyes.
Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said, "There are two battalions of veteran cavalry in the Chinese army. Each of you will lead a battalion. You are on standby at any time. You must give Liu Ruyi a fatal blow!"
"Yes!" Liu Zongmin and Li Guo, one is Li Zicheng's die-hard brother and the other is his direct nephew. At this moment, there is no need to say anything at all, the two of them have already understood Li Zicheng's intention!
Li Zicheng took a deep breath and said, "Today's battle is about life and death! The military advisor and I are in charge of the central army! In a quarter of an hour, the entire army will dispatch troops!"
At this time, in the Caishi Army camp, the temporary bunker where Liu Ruyi was originally located has expanded several times in size!
Liu Ruyi, Wang Chengen, Zhang Laocai, and seven or eight representatives of the Caishi Army tour group were gathered in this not-so-large space, closely watching the movements of the refugee army!
The moment of decisive battle has come, and the intrigues of both sides are basically of no use. Liu Ruyi will not win over the generals who are from the Refugee Army, and similarly, the Refugee Army cannot bribe the generals of the Caishi Army to rebel!
At this moment, the only thing that can be relied upon is the steel knife in one's hand and the will to never give up!
Therefore, Liu Ruyi did not intend to hold anything back at this time, so he brought the wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen in the Caishi Army tour group to the front line of command, letting them see with their own eyes and feel with their own ears the true combat effectiveness of the Caishi Army!
~~~~~
At this time, the nobles and dignitaries on the top of Luoyang City were not idle either. Shaofu Wang Zhu Yousong, supported by seven or eight attendants, stretched out his telescope with great difficulty and nervously explored the situation on the battlefield.
.
It’s not that King Fu Zhu Changxun doesn’t want to come in person, it’s just that his body is too fat. Not to mention climbing the city wall of Luoyang City, even taking a few steps on the flat ground, he will be out of breath, like a dead pig. For the safety of his body
, he had to let the crown prince Zhu Yousong take his place.
On the side, Wang Shaoyu, Wang Yinchang, Liu Jianyi, Luo Tai, Chen Yongfu, Chen De and many other Central Plains generals also stretched their necks and stared directly in the direction of the battlefield.
Even Lu Weiqi, the former Minister of War of Nanjing, who was already in his early sixties, came to the city wall in person, and with the support of several servants, he tremblingly picked up the telescope!
He wanted to see for himself whether the general trend of the world and the overall situation of the Central Plains were still under the control of the imperial court!
He even wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of combat power the world-famous Qi Guogong and the world-famous Colored Stone Army would have!
~~~~~~
"Wow! My lord, my lord, look over there, the refugee army is coming, the refugee army is coming!"
In the temporary bunker, Li Xuan, who had been exposed to war so closely for the first time, couldn't help but cheer loudly. It seemed that the group of dark figures on the horizon were not the murderous and looting refugee army, but just the theater troupe in the capital.
generally!
"Ahem..." Wang Chengen couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help coughing a few times, "Little Marquis, don't make any noise, don't disturb the Duke's thoughts!"
"Tch!" Li Xuan was obviously not too fond of Wang Cheng'en, but he didn't dare to be too rude to him. He quickly turned his head and looked at Liu Ruyi, "My lord, the refugee army seems to be going all out! We
What should we do? Should we also send those two servants who are strong and skilled in martial arts to the battlefield?"
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Li Xuan, who looked like a playboy, actually had some backbone!
Originally, Liu Ruyi thought that a noble man like Li Xuan, seeing such a battle situation, would have retreated and found various reasons to escape!
Unexpectedly, instead of being afraid, this seemingly dandy rich man was actually excited, and he wished he could rush to the battlefield himself!
"Haha! Brother Li, don't worry! The enemy is still more than a mile away from our position, and it will take some time for them to come over! Our son-in-law of the Caishi Army has already prepared a feast for them! Brother Li, just wait and see.
That's it!" Liu Ruyi glanced at Li Xuan with a smile, and then focused his attention on the frontal battlefield again!
"Huh?" Li Xuan was a little confused about what Liu Ruyi was selling, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he stretched his neck and looked firmly in the direction of the battlefield!
