Liu Zongmin was shocked when he got the order, King Chuang was defeated! It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, Sun Chuanting's army is like a lost dog, chased for nearly a thousand miles, and it is already on the verge of collapse, how can it be possible to defeat King Chuang's army?

"General Quan, King Chuang had already surrounded Sun Chuanting in Lanyang, but I didn't expect that just when Sun Chuanting was about to be annihilated, Zhu Jie led the reinforcements to arrive, and the combat power was extremely strong, and he defeated our army in one fell swoop, and King Chuang had to lead the army back to Kaifeng Mansion, and now our army has suffered serious losses, and I am afraid that there is no longer the ability to attack."

"Zhu Jie? Is it Zhu Jie? ”

Liu Zongmin was so angry that he was like thunder, he was injured twice and was defeated by Zhu Jie, this revenge has not been avenged, he actually came again!

"Order the three armies, pacify the place as soon as possible, send troops in two days, go straight to Kaifeng, Lao Tzu wants to meet this Zhu Jie for a while!"

Liu Zongmin led 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, and then drove these 30,000 displaced people to rush down in the direction of Kaifeng.

The distance of more than 300 miles, for Liu Zongmin, is five or six days' journey, the army marched with all its might, and in only four days, it has already arrived at the vortex river ferry in Qi County!

Liu Zongmin looked at the vortex river from afar, this big river is almost nearly two hundred zhang wide and narrow, in Henan, it can be regarded as a big river, the water flow is not very urgent, however, if you want to wade through, it is impossible, the deepest part of the river has exceeded three zhang, and the shallow place is more than one zhang deep, and there are few ships around, and if you want to cross the vortex river, only the pontoon bridge in front of you can pass......

"The order, Zhang Ba and Chen Bixian, led 20,000 cavalry to cross the river first, and once they crossed the vortex river, they immediately occupied the favorable terrain for vigilance; The infantry followed, and the last outcasts passed! In one day, all the armies must cross the vortex river! ”

Liu Zongmin shouted.

Zhang Ba and Chen Bixian led the cavalry battalion to board the vortex river pontoon bridge and began to walk towards the opposite bank!

20,000 cavalry, this is not a small number, the pontoon bridge is more than a zhang wide, barely able to allow four war horses to pass side by side, slowly passing, 20,000 cavalry, enough for four in a row, enough to discharge a length of twenty or thirty miles! Where is it so fast to pass?

From morning to afternoon, 20,000 cavalry crossed the river before it was nearing the end!

In the reeds on the north shore, Shu Xinchen sat on a small boat, quietly watching, the time was almost up, and he was about to move forward, that was the infantry! Just at this time, blow up the pontoon, it's time!

"Hehe, Liu Zongmin, let's see if you're lucky this time......"

Seeing Liu Zongmin on the pontoon, Shu Xinchen decisively pressed the detonator of the miniature bomb!

In order to ensure success, Shu Xinchen actually asked Zhu Jie for more than a dozen miniature bombs, all of which were installed on the pontoon, this thing is far more powerful than flowering bombs and solid bullets, and the crosshairs of the artillery are insufficient, so it may not be able to blow up the pontoon bridge in a short time, this miniature bomb is the best treasure!

"Boom, boom!"

Four on the pontoon bridge in the south, four on the pontoon bridge in the north, as soon as the detonator was pressed, all the miniature bombs exploded at the same time, blowing up the pontoon bridge of 200 zhang long into three sections, on the pontoon, two huge gaps appeared in an instant, and the ships under the pontoon bridge were instantly blown into powder! The cavalry on the pontoon bridge, even men and horses, were blown up!

On the pontoon bridge, there was a big chaos, the war horses neighed, the soldiers wailed, the chaos was unbearable, and some timid cavalry even jumped directly into the vortex river to avoid the explosion!

Liu Zongmin of this matter just walked to the middle section, and the bomb blew up the ships in front of and behind him, Liu Zongmin's life was big, but at this time he was in the middle and avoided the bomb attack!

However, Liu Zongmin escaped the explosion, but he was also trapped on the remnant bridge! Liu Zongmin was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, there is an ambush, all departments should fight immediately!" ”

It's just that Liu Zongmin is now in a hurry and has no way, breaking the broken bridge, but ten zhang long, he can only go around here, but there is no way to go ashore, Liu Zongmin is a native of Lantian in Shaanxi, where there are Gobi everywhere, it is rare to see a small river, now he is almost forty years old, he has never swam in the river, he is an out-and-out landlubber, and now he is in a hurry!

The sound of the bomb had just sounded, and the distant cannon boomed as well!

Sixteen artillery pieces attacked at the same time, and one shell after another smashed down on the cavalry that broke into the army, and the cavalry on the shore was in chaos!

The pontoon bridge was bombed, the general was trapped in the middle of the river, and the 20,000 cavalry were completely leaderless! In the face of the sudden ambush, Zhang Ba and Chen Bixian were already panicked, constantly shouting, and commanding the cavalry to start fighting!

It's just that the cavalry, who was in a mess, now listened to the command of the two generals, and began to run around on the north bank of the Vortex River, avoiding the attack of the Ming army!

At this time, not only the artillery was powerful, but not far from the river bank was the two thousand musketeers who had already been ambushed, and the soldiers began to shoot hurriedly with flintlock muskets, and the guns rang out like bursting beans, and the cavalry who were caught off guard turned over and fell off their horses, and the 20,000 cavalry of the army were completely confused!

Xu Yifan was overjoyed when he saw the chaos of the cavalry, and shouted: "Order, the army will attack immediately and annihilate all this cavalry on the bank of the vortex river!" Charge! ”

The cavalry on the left and right, under the leadership of Shu Xinchen and Yang Chengzu, rushed towards the cavalry of the breaking army, and the strong front of the soldiers instantly impacted the 20,000 cavalry into two sections, and began to besiege and kill!

There are 20,000 cavalry in the army, and now they can't do anything by the river! can only cower in a circle of less than a mile above the river bank, accept the baptism of muskets and artillery, and be beaten by the Ming army, the unlucky Zhang Ba has not had time to organize a surprise attack, and he was smashed to pieces by the flying cannonballs, and there is only one Chen Bixian in the entire cavalry, which is even more chaotic!

Liu Zongmin in the river was furious, and he wished that he had two wings and flew to the other side of the river, but he was not an angel, where did he get his wings?

"Quick, quick, damn it, get one of the boats below for Lao Tzu and take Lao Tzu to the other side! Order, the infantry behind, even if it swims over, to participate in the battle! Fast! ”

Liu Zongmin can only hope that the ships on the pontoon bridge under his feet can be used, but the ships under his feet are connected by iron cables, even if the ships are blown up, only the ships are destroyed, but the iron cables are safe and sound, if you want to disconnect the iron cables from the ships, how easy is it to say, the cavalry has tried their best, hand dragging, knife chopping, axe splitting, it is still to no avail, the iron chain is as thick as a thumb, where is it so easy to cut?

"You bunch of waste, get out of the way of Lao Tzu!"

Liu Zongmin was furious, riding the war horse back more than ten steps away, with the reins of the horse, the war horse galloped, Liu Zongmin took advantage of the strength of the war horse to rush forward, and the machete in his hand slashed the iron cable!
