Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 155 Chapter 155, Zhu Cilang shot He Jin, head-to-head Dashun suffered a disastrous defeat
No matter from the perspective of before, during or after the event, from Li Guo's standpoint at that time, most people would make the same decision as him.

As His Majesty the Emperor, Li Zicheng personally led a so-called "main force" to act as a bait to face the main force of the Ming army. At this moment, the front line was already crumbling.

And Li Guo is leading the main force in the true sense. At this time, is it necessary to stand on the mountain and sit back and watch Li Zicheng be defeated?
The best way to win is to take the initiative to attack, first break through the frontal army, which should be the Ming army's partial division, and then attack the main force of the Ming army from the flanks, and complete the two-sided attack with Li Zicheng.

So He Jin only hesitated for a moment, and immediately obeyed Li Guo's order.

Amidst the rumbling drums, Li Guo led [-] elite soldiers out, condescending from the mountain, and killed what he thought was the "partial division" of the Ming army.

Zhu Cihong stood on a chariot, surrounded by three thousand princes' troops, and beside them was billowing smoke and dust. Thousands of troops rushed straight to the top of the mountain, and the weather was astonishing.

The Dashun Army's charging posture was immediately noticed by Zhu Cixiang, which shocked him.

"Are these rebels crazy?"

In Zhu Cihong's view, the Dashun army on the mountain should be a partial division.

Why should a partial division set up a big battalion to take the initiative to fight?

What he didn't know was that Li Guo on the opposite side thought the same way.

So Zhu Cihong gave the order very decisively: "Don't hesitate, don't hesitate, the whole army speeds up, hit Ben Gong and crush them!"

The goals of both parties are extremely consistent, and they are both moving forward.

After just ten minutes, the two armies finally met at the foot of the mountain.

"kill!"

"rush!"

"Don't back down, just go forward!"

"Long live Daming!"

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, another brutal battle began.

Soon, the chief generals on both sides realized something was wrong.

"Can't push it down?" After hearing this sentence, Li Guo became angry immediately, and went into a rage on the spot: "You told me that you can't push it down? Come, someone, drag this useless guy down and chop it up, and replace it with another one." People go up, keep pushing!"

Another moment.

"What, still can't push it?"

This time, Li Guo suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Impossible, the opponent is just a partial division, how could it block us for such a long time?"

Beside Li Guo, many generals of the Dashun Army also looked at each other, with doubts on their faces.

That's right, it's just a partial division. Why did it hold back the elite of the Dashun Army for so long?

Even if Dashun had already lost several matches in a row in front of the Ming army, it was impossible for the Dashun army's high-grade horse to lose to the Ming army's low-grade horse.

Suddenly, a very dangerous idea came out of He Jin's mind, and he said it through his mouth: "Your Highness, maybe what we are facing...is not actually a partial division of the Ming army?"

Li Guo: "!!!"

If it's not a partial teacher, then it can only be... the main force!

Li Guo shouted: "Impossible, how could the main force of the Ming army appear here? They should be fighting His Majesty over there!"

He Jin said helplessly: "But, there is no other explanation."

Li Guo's eyes were red and he said fiercely: "Of course there is, that is because the generals on the front line are greedy for life and afraid of death. They can't even beat the low-grade horses of the Ming army, which leads to the illusion that we are in front of the main force of the Ming army! Otherwise! If so, what are those Ming armies that can suppress His Majesty? He Jin, come up here and make sure to open the gap for these Ming armies!"

Just when Li Guo lost his temper, a question mark slowly appeared in Zhu Cihong's head.

"Hey, why is the combat effectiveness of this rebel army so strong?"

According to Zhu Cihong's estimate in advance, there should be only about 2 teachers in this camp.

What Zhu Cihong brought was [-] elite Ming troops. In this head-to-head situation, it should be the Ming army that quickly defeated the opposing division.

But the fact is that the two sides are now fighting very anxiously. Although the Ming army is indeed slowly gaining the upper hand with its stronger combat effectiveness, this speed is really a world away from the quick victory that Zhu Cihong had imagined in advance. up.

Fang Gonggan was holding a firecracker, standing beside Zhu Cihong nervously looking around, looking like a loyal escort.

After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Fang Gongqian's heart was also moved, and he suddenly said: "Your Highness, could it be that Li Zicheng also set up a maze, nominally with the main force to attract our attention from the front with great fanfare, but in fact he secretly concealed Chen Cang, so that the real The main force of the army is hidden here, ready to launch a fatal blow to us?"

When Zhu Cixiang heard this, he was shocked and looked straight at Fang Gongqian.

Fang Gongqian was a little uncomfortable by Zhu Cihuang's gaze, and smiled embarrassingly: "Your Highness, this servant just said that casually."

Zhu Cihong patted Fang Gongqian on the shoulder, and praised: "Old Fang, I think you should really be right this time!"

As the saying goes, after eliminating all impossible options, no matter how bizarre the remaining options may seem, that is the truth of the matter.

Now, what Fang Gongqian said is undoubtedly the truth of the matter!

Zhu Cihong immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "It turned out that after a long time, this palace is actually facing Li Zicheng's main force. I don't know if Uncle Xiangcheng will die of anger when he hears the news, but he really wants military exploits. Yes, haha!"

Fang Gong hurriedly reminded: "Your Highness, the enemy army is dying to counterattack!"

Zhu Cihong looked up and found that not far away, a Dashun army was biting the defense line of the Ming army with incomparable ferocity.

This Dashun army was obviously just dispatched, and its impact was extremely fierce. When the Dashun army was at a disadvantage in other places, this Dashun army was still rushing forward, killing the Ming people in front of them. The army retreated step by step.

Fang Gongqian shouted loudly: "Their goal is to come down to His Highness, escort, escort quickly!"

Zhu Cihong's spirit was slightly concentrated, and he really noticed that the goal of this Dashun army was indeed coming towards his chief general's chariot.

The corners of Zhu Cihong's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile: "Since this is the case..."

The next moment, Zhu Cixiang already had a sniper rifle in his hand.

He very calmly raised his sniper rifle and locked the commander of the dashing Dashun Army through the scope.

"Eh, it's him?" Zhu Cihong was slightly taken aback.

From the scope, what Zhu Cihong saw was He Jin who had come to Zhu Cihong twice before as an envoy of Dashun.

At this moment, He Jin was rushing left and right among the Ming army like a fierce tiger. Almost no Ming army could support him for more than three rounds.

It was also because of He Jin's performance, which can be called the descending of the gods, that this army was able to achieve such a rapid advance effect.

"...but let's stop here."

Without any hesitation, Zhu Cihong pressed the trigger of the sniper rifle.

There was a loud bang, and He Jin seemed to notice something, turned over suddenly, and hid.

Behind He Jin, the heads of two Dashun Army soldiers were pierced one after another, and they both fell to the ground.

Zhu Cihong snorted, a little surprised: "This is also okay?"

But immediately, He Jin stood up unsteadily again, and this time his body movements became obviously sluggish.

Although the action just now allowed He Jin to escape Zhu Cihong's sniper attack, the Ming soldiers around He Jin were not vegetarians, so they took the opportunity to stab He Jin several times.

Zhu Cihong aimed again.

Finally, when He Jin thrust out the sword blade again, Zhu Cixiang pressed the trigger again.

This time, He Jin was still aware of it and tried his best to dodge, but the speed of his body was no longer allowed.

The bullet accurately hit He Jin's chest, and the long sword in his hand flew out instantly, and the whole person fell back and fell to the ground.

Countless Ming troops rushed forward and completely submerged He Jin.

Zhu Cihong let out a long breath, the sniper rifle in his hand was not put away, and the front sight began to move on the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, the generals and officers of the Dashun Army who charged at the forefront suffered disaster.

Relying on the ultra-long range of the sniper rifle, Zhu Cihong stood on the chariot and "rolled" these generals and officers one by one.

The fall of every general and officer made the Dashun Army present even more chaotic.

Soon, this confusion spread to the entire army.

The Ming army took advantage of the situation to launch an assault and made breakthroughs in all directions at the same time.

Suddenly, Dashun's army began to collapse.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Cihong finally put down the sniper rifle in satisfaction, rubbed his shoulders that were sore from the recoil, and said with emotion: "This thing has to be played lying down."

Fang Gongqian didn't know the meaning of Zhu Cihong's words, but this didn't prevent him from shouting excitedly. "Your Highness, the enemy has retreated, we have won, we have won!"

Zhu Cihong corrected with a serious face: "Li Zicheng hasn't lost yet."

Not far away, Li Guo looked desperate and kept yelling: "Don't pull me, I'm going to fight these smart dogs! Don't retreat, we can win, we can win..."

Amidst the shouts, Li Guo's personal guards forcibly dragged Li Guo away.

The Ming army spread up the mountain like a tide, occupying the entire camp in an instant.

Zhu Cixiang gave the order without hesitation: "Stop chasing these guys, let's turn around and show Li Zicheng how powerful he is!"

Li Zicheng was already extremely anxious, and even started to roar.

"Where are Li Guo and He Jin, why haven't they arrived yet!"

The battle on the front line is already extremely difficult, and the Dashun Army may be defeated by the Ming Army at any time.

Obviously, it has been so long since the agreed time, but Li Guo and He Jin still haven't arrived yet.

All of these completely exhausted Li Zicheng's patience.

At this moment, a scout galloped over and reported a news to Li Zicheng with a grim expression.

"It's not good, Your Majesty, the army led by His Royal Highness Li Guo and General He Jin has been defeated by the Ming army's partial division, and the camp on the mountain has been occupied by the Ming army!"

Li Zicheng was taken aback and almost fell off the chariot.

After a few seconds, Li Zicheng let out a roar: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!"

Li Guo and He Jin led the most elite troops under Li Zicheng's command, how could they be defeated by a partial division?

Just when Li Zicheng was about to say something, someone around him suddenly shouted: "Fire, the camp on the mountain is on fire!"

Li Zicheng's body trembled, and he turned his head to look, and he saw a blazing fire erupting from the camp on the mountain, and thick smoke billowing up into the sky.

Not only that, there were countless Ming soldiers waving flags, shouting and rushing down from the mountain, directly entering Li Zicheng's flank!
