Zilharang felt as if his skull had been hit by a giant hammer, and he was extremely dizzy - the Mengjin Ferry had fallen!

How can it be! Zu Dashou was guarding with 30,000 green battalion soldiers, and there were elite cavalry and artillery to help, how could he lose it so quickly?

"Bye, what the hell is going on? Tell me slowly, why the hell, Meng Jin was lost so soon! Didn't you say you could hold it for at least a month, or even a month and a half? Fuck, it's only been ten days since Lao Tzu left Mengjin! ”

Zilharang's face contorted, and he shouted fiercely.

He replied and said astringently: "Lord, Xu Yifan, the commander of the Ming army, personally led nearly 10,000 elite cavalry, launched a surprise attack on our army before dawn, almost at the same time, the Tianwei army on the opposite bank also began to force the Yellow River, our artillery position encountered a cavalry assault, heavy casualties, and could not stop the Tianwei army from crossing the river, their muskets and cavalry were too powerful, even our elite cavalry could not resist it......"

Jierharang's heart was cold, and the Tianwei army broke through the Yellow River and entered the territory of Shanxi, which meant that his cavalry was now facing the siege of several times the strength of the Ming army! This situation is too dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will never recover.

"Zu Dashou, you really descended Lao Tzu to death, thirty or forty thousand people, and the defense line was broken by others in just one day, what else can you do......"

Zilharang gritted his teeth and roared, "Farewell, where is Zu Dashou retreating now?" How many troops do you have left? ”

He said with a wry smile: "Lord Wang, when we gave up the Mengjin Ferry, Lord Zu ordered the servants to come and send a letter to the Lord Wang, presumably Lord Zu lost the battle, and he could only retreat all the way to the north, however, the elite cavalry of the Tianwei Army is extremely strong, and it is also equipped with a large number of musket battalions, our artillery battalions are all destroyed, and there is no strength to resist at all, however, when the minions come to deliver the letter, our main force still exists, and the loss should not be too great......"

Jierharang's eyes flashed, now Zu Dashou has been defeated, once the fourth town of the Tianwei Army is all rushed across the Yellow River, with the strong strength of the Tianwei Army, coupled with the support of Xu Yifan's cavalry, I am afraid that the 30,000 green battalion soldiers under Zu Dashou will not be enough to stuff people's teeth in the field, and defeat has almost become a foregone conclusion, just to see how long Zu Dashou can support now.

"Bye, how long have you been here?"

Zilharang asked.

Answering Bai hurriedly replied: "Lord Wang, the slaves galloped all the way, the war horses ran to death two ah, two days and two nights before they arrived here, now it has been two days and two nights since the Tianwei army captured the Mengjin Ferry, before leaving, Lord Zu and Lord Shi discussed to retreat to Jiyuan, Zezhou line, and fight day by step, but I don't know how long I can hold out, after all, the situation was urgent, our artillery could not be taken away, all of them were destroyed, without artillery, we are not the opponent of the Tianwei army......"

Two days and two nights, that is to say, the current fourth town of the Tianwei Army should still stay in the Jiyuan area, even if the fourth town marches with all its might, marching a hundred miles a day, it will take four days and four nights to reach Qinzhou, if Zu Dashou is able to block the attack, within ten days, I am afraid that the Tianwei army will not be able to reach Qinzhou, what I have to do now is that before the arrival of the fourth town of the Tianwei Army, I must defeat Sun Chuanting's army in front of me in one fell swoop, and I must not give the Ming army a chance to encircle, otherwise, I will die!

Zierharang took a deep breath and shouted: "Pass the order, the army will be repaired immediately, before dawn tomorrow, the cavalry will attack the flank of the Ming army, this king will first swallow Sun Chuanting, and then turn around to deal with Li Dingguo's Tianwei Army Fourth Town, we will break them one by one!" ”

Niu Lu Zhang Jingjialu on the side said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, the Ming army in front of you is not weak, there are 60,000 or 70,000 troops, and we only have 20,000 or 30,000 troops, how can we defeat them in one fell swoop?" It's almost impossible! ”

"Impossible, try it too!"

Zilharang said fiercely: "This battle is very important, once the Western Route Army is all broken, then the entire flank of Duoduo will be exposed, how can it still compete with the Tianwei Army?" Although Sun Chuanting's troops are strong, they are not the Tianwei Army after all, their combat power is very limited, as long as we attack with all our strength, it is completely possible to defeat Sun Chuanting! Remember, we only have ten days, I think Zu Dashou lost the artillery, if the cavalry suffered heavy losses, then it would not be able to gain a firm foothold in Zezhou at all, Xu Yifan and Li Dingguo have experienced a hundred battles, and they will definitely not give their opponents the opportunity to calmly deploy their defenses, we must have to compete with Sun Chuanting within ten days, so as to turn around and contain the strength of the Tianwei army in the Taiyuan area, in this way, there will be loopholes in the defense of the Tianwei army in Zhangde Mansion, and Duoduo will attack with all his might, maybe he will be able to defeat the Tianwei army. ”

Jierharang's abacus is very good, but he also needs his own army to be powerful, at least the current Zu Dashou and Shi Tingzhu are not so powerful.

Zilharang received an urgent battle report at noon, and in the afternoon, the battle report was sent to the Qing army camp.

"Report! Jiyuan urgent! ”

A fast horse flew into the camp and came to the tent of Zilharang, and even the people who came fell from their horses.

What Jierharang is most afraid of now is to hear the battle report in front of him, he is not sure at all about how long Zu Dashou can hold on, and even the ferry of the Yellow River moat has been lost, whether it is Jiyuan or Zezhou behind, he can't imagine that he can resist the Tianwei army that can attack with all his strength.

"Lord Qiqi, Lord Zu and Lord Shi and others led the army to retreat to Zezhou, just marched to the south of Jiyuan City, they encountered the resistance of the Tianwei army's elite cavalry, the army of 30,000 people were all surrounded by the Tianwei army, General Bach died on the spot, Lord Zu only led three or four thousand people to break through, and the rest of the green battalions were all trapped in the encirclement of the Tianwei army, and the whole army was annihilated......"

The people who came were covered with dust, and even the helmets didn't know where to go, and the armor on their bodies had been scattered, and the rat tail braids were scattered, how embarrassed, how embarrassed, and covered with blood!

Hiss......

All the generals present were shocked, the Green Battalion was wiped out, the Manchurian elite cavalry also suffered heavy casualties, and even Melerzhangjingbach was killed, this battle was lost miserably!

Zierharang felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell down, he thought that Zu Dashou was invincible, and defeat was inevitable, but like this, he was directly surrounded and annihilated in Jiyuan by the Tianwei army, how wasted Zu Dashou had to be, and he could lose so miserably!
