Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 86 86, Li Zicheng’s three armies crossed the river, Zhu Cixiang asked for battle twice
Zhu Cihong didn't know how to ride a horse before.

As a prince, there is no need to ride a horse. Isn't it good for him to ride a carriage?

But now, the system's reward effectively made up for Zhu Cihong's shortcoming.

The unity of man and horse sounds like cowhide coaxing.

More importantly, the system has just proposed a check-in location - the artillery position of the Dashun Army on the south bank!
Judging from the current situation, the artillery of the Dashun army has indeed caused a lot of trouble to the Ming army. If this location can be taken down, it will definitely help to change the entire situation of the battle.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong immediately said to the British man on the side: "My lord, I have a plan, maybe I can break the enemy's ferocious offensive!"

The British Duke was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "I don't know what the Prince's plan is?"

Zhu Cihong said: "The enemy's artillery is quite ferocious, and it is our confidant's serious trouble. Please also ask the British Duke to give me a soldier and horse, and let me go and destroy their artillery!"

The British official stopped immediately when he heard the words.

After a few seconds, the British Duke said: "His Royal Highness wants to fight in person?"

Zhu Cihong nodded vigorously.

It's all here, it would be a pity if we couldn't go to battle.

Maybe it's because of the protection of the system, or maybe it's because Zhu Cihong has been tempered a lot by fighting inside and outside of Beijing in the past few days. In short, he doesn't reject going to the battlefield now, and even has some desire!

"No!" The British Duke categorically rejected Zhu Cihong's request: "His Royal Highness, that is too dangerous!"

Before going out for the expedition, Chongzhen also specially instructed Zhu Cihong not to take any risks. The British Duke still remembers it clearly.

Zhu Cihong: "..."

Why is this British gentleman so unscrupulous?

Zhu Cihong said seriously: "My lord, since I have come here, I want to do my best for Daming. Even if you are the chief general, you can't deprive me of this opportunity!"

The British Duke said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, of course I am aware of your abilities, but your safety is also what I am most worried about. The current situation of the battle is still stable, please look at it with peace of mind, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The meaning of the Duke of England is obvious, as long as the Ming Dynasty's army can still win, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please sit still.

Zhu Cihong was helpless, and said to the system in his mind: "System, can I ask for leave for this task?"

"There is no precedent for asking for leave during the mission, host."

"..."

Zhu Cihong became more and more helpless, and could only cast his eyes on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, thousands of troops are fighting.

"Come on, kill these rebels!"

"Brothers, kill these lackeys of the imperial court, and everyone will share the wealth!"

Inspired by the shouts of the generals on both sides, countless soldiers of the two armies approached and fell into the most bloody and cruel hand-to-hand combat.

In the shadow of swords and swords, countless stumps and broken arms flew, and blood splashed like a spring. The soldiers at the front fell down in rows like harvested wheat, and the soldiers behind immediately filled up and continued to fight the enemy to the death.

The entire battlefield has become a huge grinding disc, ruthlessly crushing everyone's lives.

Even Zhu Cixiang, as a modern person who has watched countless blockbuster movies, can't help but be shocked by this extremely cruel scene at this moment.

Is this war?

This is simply hell!
Of course, not only Zhu Cihong and British Duke were paying attention to the battlefield, but also Li Zicheng on the other side.

Li Zicheng listened to the report, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled: "I didn't expect these soldiers and horses of the imperial court to be really tenacious, and they can stand in a stalemate with my army until now."

Song Xiance on the side said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial court has insufficient soldiers and horses after all. If the fight continues like this, victory is already within sight for our army!"

The smile on the corner of Li Zicheng's mouth became stronger and stronger: "Of course I know this truth. That British gentleman thinks that he can defeat our Chinese army by gathering the main force? It's ridiculous!"

At this moment, Li Zicheng was in high spirits.

Although the war has not yet completely determined the outcome, for Li Zicheng, he feels that victory is close at hand.

Li Zicheng said without hesitation: "Let the order go on, all the three armies will cross the river, and only the artillery will be left on the south bank!"

For Li Zicheng, what he wants is not just a victory, but a hearty and undisputed victory, so that he can prove to the whole world that it is a matter of course for Dashun to replace Daming!

Therefore, Li Zicheng wanted to end the war at a faster speed, to let the defeat of the Ming army come earlier, and to let everyone know that the thunderous wrath of Emperor Dashun was enough to shake the world!

As for the artillery, the movement of the cannon is extremely inconvenient, and it is impossible to continue shelling the Ming army while moving, so it is better to stay on the south bank and continue firing.

Li Zicheng's order was resolutely implemented immediately, and countless soldiers of the Dashun Army crossed the river like a tide, from the south bank of the Lugou River to the north bank, and joined the attack.

Not only that, Li Zicheng's commander-in-chief was also surrounded by many pro-guards, and began to cross the river!
Song Xiance and Li Yan were worried about this: "Why does Your Majesty need to cross the river? You just need to sit on the south bank and wait for victory."

Li Zicheng laughed when he heard the words: "There is a saying in the book of war that a lion needs all his strength to fight a rabbit. Now I am only one battle away from defeating Ming Dynasty, how can I slack off at such a juncture!"

As Li Zicheng's dragon flag crossed the river, the Dashun army's morale became stronger, their roars shook the sky, and they launched a fierce counterattack against the Ming army.

As a result, the Ming army was extremely tense immediately, and bad news from all walks of life kept sending to the British Duke.

"The left-wing general Li Ling was killed, and almost the entire army was wiped out!"

"The right-wing general Wang Binzan was shot in a coma by an arrow. He is in danger, and his troops have already begun to retreat!"

"The Dashun dragon flag appears behind the enemy's central army, and it is suspected that Li Zicheng's relatives have arrived!"

Hearing the news one by one, the British Duke's face was extremely solemn, and everyone around him also felt tense.

Is Daming going to lose like this?
It is undeniable that the British Duke and all Ming soldiers have tried their best to fight, but many things in this world do not mean that you will succeed if you work hard.

At this moment, someone patted the British Duke on the shoulder.

Ying Gong turned his head and saw Zhu Cihong.

"My lord, it's time!"

The Duke of England stared at Zhu Cihong, and he saw the raging flames in the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince.

"The British Lord, give me a cavalry!"

The British Duke took a deep breath and said to Zhu Cihong: "His Royal Highness, did you ever want to say that if you attack now, if the army is defeated, then..."

never come back!
When Zhu Cihong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, the outcome of the war is not yet decided, who said that my Ming Dynasty has been defeated!"

With Bengong here, who said Daming would lose!
British public heavy head.

"In that case, please Your Highness!"

　Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone!
