Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Put away the scouts, wander around the periphery, stay vigilant, and don't have to sacrifice your life to fight." This time, the scout team performed well, allowing Si Qi to write down his military exploits. ”

Wei Yunshan was immediately overjoyed: "My subordinates thank Your Highness." ”

"Order the whole army, all departments to be on alert, and prepare for battle!" Zhu Cihong issued a second military order.

The heralds sped everywhere.

For a while, the sound of armor colliding sounded one after another.

It was only after less than two hundred breaths that after crossing a slightly higher flat ground, a long black line was revealed.

Zhu Cihong picked up the clairvoyant mirror, looked carefully from left to right, and was silent.

At the same time, the generals of the various armies who rushed to Zhu Cihong's side also picked up the clairvoyant mirror issued by Zhu Cihong, and after a burst of snooping, the sound of gasping cold air came one after another.

"Shhh...... This is the main force of the thief army. It is claimed to be million, but there is certainly no real number. Looking at it now, there must be hundreds of thousands of troops! Even ......" The younger Chen De discussed, but when he saw that no one answered, he suddenly understood the depression brought by this number, and suddenly closed his voice.

Unless there were enough scouts to probe the size of the enemy's army, otherwise, only Li Zicheng knew how many soldiers and horses there were in his army.

Because......

Too much.

When I looked left and right through the clairvoyant mirror, I found that I couldn't see the end.

There are thousands of people at once, and there is no shore. 130,000 soldiers and horses, laid out, is enough to cover the sight.

Zhu Cihong didn't see much change, his expression was still calm, but he glanced at the generals around him very solemnly. His gaze began with Yang Wenyue. Xu Yanqi, Liu Sheng, Shi Zhanbang, Liu Zhen, Chen Yongfu, Chen Deliuquan and Li Jun said with a smile: "Soldiers, remember the next battle." Twenty years later. You will recall the details of this battle with your children and grandchildren in a proud tone. ”

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

……

Everyone raised their weapons in the air.

Zhu Cihong smiled and looked at the army formation that was getting closer and closer in front of him. Said: "The battalions in Shandong Town are arrayed. Let Liu Quan's general cannon take a roll call first. A thousand steps away, two or three miles. Give a good gift to Li Chuang! ”

Liu Quan happily received the order: "The subordinates have orders!" ”

After gaining the military power of Kaifeng City, Zhu Cihong also began to rapidly expand the artillery battalion. As a result, the number of Frann cannons in the artillery battalion reached thirty, and the number of Hongyi cannons reached twelve. A short time later, a Hongyi cannon began to fire.

It's just that the shells flew over the intruding army formation thousands of steps away.

In this regard, although the first cadre of the army understands that it is not easy to hit the artillery. But they still sighed lightly.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand: "This is a school shot!" ”

Sure enough, it was more than ten breaths. The twelve Hongyi cannons spoke in turn.

The dull sound of a giant hammer hitting the ground sounded, and twelve iron balls carrying huge kinetic energy rushed out of the cannon muzzle, leaping a distance of a thousand paces and smashing heavily into the army formation that broke through.

This time, nine out of the twelve smashed into the invading army's formation, plowing the path of flesh and blood to death.

At this time, the large number of soldiers and horses also brought another disadvantage. Under the fire of artillery, there are very few misses. Especially in the thousand-step distance, which is not a long distance, the hit rate is even higher than usual.

Moreover, a thousand steps is a distance of more than two miles. The intruder, which lacks long-range attack means, can only be beaten passively.

For a while, cheers rang out among the officers and soldiers.

"Roar"

"Roar"

"Roar"

……

Li Zicheng looked at the cheering officers and soldiers, just glanced at it and said, "The death of a dozen recruits is worth such a noise?" This officer and army is also shallow-eyed. ”

With just one word, the army calmed down.

"In the face of the heavy stampede of the giant elephant. Only monkeys can jump up and down, playing with poor tricks. Li Zicheng glanced at the 130,000 strong soldiers, and said to a cadre: "I, Li Zicheng, will let the prince of the Zhu family know today." What is strength! Soldiers, look at my hundreds of thousands of soldiers here. How to tell this heaven, Er Daming. The gas is exhausted! ”

Hearing this, a cadre of generals shouted and shouted one after another.

Li Zicheng slowed down, and said: "The party is shousu, where are Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi?" ”

After a while, the three generals of the army came out together: "The last general!" ”

Li Zicheng looked at the three of them, and his eyes first fell on Dang Shousu: "You lead your troops and horses, pounce on the official army's oil road, and deal with the Henan soldiers under the banner of Chen Yongfu." ”

"The last general is ordered, let's go and take Chen Yongfu's dog head!" The party's observance is both joy and loss. I am happy that I can go into battle to fight and wash away my shame, and I can help Li Zicheng to avenge his revenge. But what was lost was not against Shandong Town. Of course, the party will not admit it, and there is some relaxation in the faint sense.

"Yuan Zongdi!" Li Zicheng looked at Yuan Zongdi, who was a little uneasy, and said, "This battle is easy to fight, don't let the cavalry of the officers and soldiers on the left road make trouble again." ”

Yuan Zongdi is also an alternative existence in the army. It is rumored that he is Yuan Chonghuan, and since Yuan Chonghuan was framed and Ling Chi rebelled with righteous indignation. In this regard, Yuan Zongdi neither admitted nor refuted it, as if he was not talking about him.

But Li Zicheng still trusts Yuan Zongdi's ability. In line with the idea that it is better to make merit than to make a mistake, this time Yuan Zongdi was still sent. Let him make up for the mistake of letting Lu Guangzu go in the last battle.

"Yes! The last general commanded. Yuan Zongdi didn't dare to say big things, so he honestly took the order and left.

In the end, Li Zicheng looked at Hao Shaoqi, who was eager to try: "Hao Shaoqi." In this battle, you are my first general, and you will kill the officers and soldiers. Whether you can get Zhu Cihong's head or not, and get the first merit in this battle, depends on your ability! ”

"Hao Shaoqi understands! In this battle, please ask King Chuang to see my Hao Shaoqi's ability! Hao Shaoqi was full of beards and grinned, but when he didn't rush into battle, he looked quite calm.

Hao Shaoqi is an old man in Gao Yingxiang's era, who started as a standard-bearer, and is quite brave and brave, but after Gao Yingxiang's death, he will inevitably have a feeling of being a relict of the previous dynasty after his death.

Especially in the ten years of Chongzhen, when Hao Shaoqi broke through, it was difficult to break through because of the drag of his family. Hao Shaoqi personally killed his wife with a sword in his hand to show his determination to break through. This move seems to have stabilized the morale of the army, and he broke through the siege in civilian clothes and was saved. But in Li Zicheng's opinion, there is always some suspicion, so that Li Zicheng is always a little estranged from him.

It is precisely because of this that in order to maintain his position, Hao Shaoqi bravely charges every time he fights, and Li Zicheng can be regarded as trusting his ability.

"Let's go!"

……

When the fourth round of artillery was fired, the three generals in the army set off as a team, and the first wave brought out more than 30,000 soldiers and horses.

The drums are beating gradually, and the killing intent is already fierce. (To be continued.) )
