"What?"

Li Zicheng was like pouring cold water on his head, his mood suddenly cooled down by half, Liu Zongmin only brought thousands of cavalry, what kind of reputation is he doing?

"Bastard! Didn't I say it clearly in the order, asking him to lead the main force of the army to the west to help, how did he do it, he only brought thousands of cavalry, what is this enough to do in front of the elite of the Ming army! Order, immediately let Liu Zongmin lead the army into the city to meet me! ”

Li Zicheng was furious and roared.

It didn't take too long, Liu Zongmin's cavalry entered Kaifeng Mansion, Liu Zongmin was wrapped in a thick bandage, and he came to see Li Zicheng with grinning teeth.

"See King Chuang!"

"Liu Zongmin, how did you do it, didn't I give you an order? led the main force of the Eastern Front to the west to aid Kaifeng Mansion, why did you bring these five or six thousand troops? What are you doing with such a few people? ”

Li Zicheng shouted angrily.

Liu Zongmin said abruptly: "King Chuang, originally I led the main force of the Eastern Front to come to help, but our main cavalry was attacked by the Ming army at the vortex river crossing in Kankan across Qi County, they first blew up the pontoon bridge, so that the infantry behind us could not vortex the river, the army was divided into two halves, and then launched a fierce offensive towards the cavalry, we encountered a surprise attack in a hurry, the entire cavalry was surrounded in a small space, encountered the opponent's artillery and musket attack, suffered heavy casualties, I tried my best, He only led five or six thousand brothers into the siege......"

Li Zicheng was dumbfounded, the cavalry led by Liu Zongmin can be said to be the most powerful cavalry of the breaking army, although the personal combat strength cannot be compared with the cavalry of his old battalion, but the strength of the army, a full 20,000 people, was defeated by the Ming army in one fell swoop!

"Impossible! Liu Zongmin, you are leading 20,000 cavalry? At best, how can the Ming army be able to defeat your main cavalry? ”

Li Zicheng roared.

Liu Zongmin hurriedly said: "King Chuang, I can't help it, I was on the pontoon bridge that was blown up, I was trapped for nearly an hour, there was no way into the sky, there was no door to the ground, and I fell into the river, if it wasn't for the rescue of my subordinates, I was afraid that I would be drowned in the early ******, that's it, my big knife and BMW, all fell into the water, and when I got ashore, there was no weapon in my hand, no BMW good horse, even if I wanted to change the situation of the battle, it was impossible; The most terrible thing is that for a whole hour, the cavalry on the shore was leaderless, and was besieged by the elite infantry of the Ming army for a whole hour, with heavy casualties and great confusion......

Li Zicheng's face was speechless, special, unlucky things, they were all caught up by Liu Zongmin, and there was almost no omission! This Zhu Jie is really powerful to the extreme, and he has no last resort!

"And what about your infantry battalion? You should still have tens of thousands of people in your infantry battalion, right? ”

Li Zicheng asked.

Liu Zongmin hurriedly replied: "This time I brought a total of 20,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry, and 20,000 displaced people, now the pontoon bridge has been blown up, is there enough ships near the vortex river, I think the most likely thing now is Liu Guochang and Li You led the infantry battalion, went to the Sui County ferry, and rushed to Kaifeng from the territory of Sui County......

Li Zicheng frowned, his heart suddenly shook, and shouted: "Confused, you didn't go to meet the infantry battalion to cross the river, why did you lead the cavalry to Kaifeng alone?" What if the Ming army raided the infantry battalion again? Your cavalry is no match for others, and you can expect the infantry battalion to be able to hold off the cavalry in the event of a sneak attack? ”

Liu Zongmin's heart jumped, and he felt a burst of fear, if the infantry battalion was also broken, then the loss of breaking into the camp this time was too great!

"This, this, King Chuang, the Ming army shouldn't attack again, right? But we can't do it again, we have already encountered a surprise attack, they must think that we will strengthen our vigilance, even if the Ming army wants to sneak attack, it will be difficult to succeed......"

Liu Zongmin asked.

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and roared: "Confused, now is the most critical moment, my middle route army has suffered heavy losses, it has been infected by the plague, the army has collapsed, and your cavalry battalion has been abolished, if even your infantry battalion is defeated now, then what else do we have to defeat the Ming army!" You bastard! ”

Liu Zongmin didn't expect the matter to become so serious, and hurriedly said: "King Chuang, I will immediately lead my troops to the Sui County ferry to meet the infantry battalion!" ”

Li Zicheng said angrily: "Okay, you are also injured now, let Zongdi lead the cavalry to go, I hope you can ...... in time."

Li Zicheng looked at Yuan Zongdi and shouted: "Zongdi, Zong Min is injured, this time you need to go out in person, lead a cavalry to meet the infantry battalion to Kaifeng Mansion, you must ensure the safety of the infantry battalion!" ”

Yuan Zongdi agreed, turned around and left.

However, Yuan Zongdi went fast and came back quickly, and in less than a day, he returned to Kaifeng Mansion and brought back a thunderbolt news - Guoyi's general Li You was killed in battle, and the general Liu Guochang led more than 10,000 infantry to flee the battlefield, and the entire infantry battalion was completely defeated!

Li Zicheng sat on his seat in shock, 70,000 troops, a full 70,000 army, was completely defeated in this way, and the troops who arrived in Kaifeng Mansion were only 20,000!

Break the liver and sausage!

"Ah......h

Before Li Zicheng said anything, Liu Zongmin on the side was already furious, this is an elite division that he has worked so hard to build, and in just one battle, he was annihilated by two-thirds of the Ming army! The vitality is greatly damaged, the vitality is greatly damaged!

"Damn the Ming army, Lao Tzu is inseparable from you!"

Liu Zongmin kept roaring.

"Alright, you still have a fart to call now!"

Li Zicheng shouted angrily: "The most important thing now is how to turn the tide of the war, it is no longer realistic to besiege Gyeonggi, we are now retreating to the second, as long as we can keep the area south of Kaifeng in our hands, then it will be considered a success!" Now that the Ming army has won one victory after another, it has completely reversed the low morale, and we are now on the edge of the precipice, and we will never allow any more mistakes! ”

"King Chuang, then gather Liu Fangliang's army to Kaifeng, and we will fight to the death with the Ming army!"

Liu Zongmin is now on the verge of madness, bent on revenge.

Li Zicheng nodded and shouted: "Come on, immediately give Liu Fangliang an order, ordering him to lead the Western Route Army to immediately change the original battle plan, march east to Kaifeng, gather all our troops, and fight to the death with the Ming army under the city of Kaifeng!" ”
