The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

After Li Zicheng's winter uprising in the second year of Chongzhen, he suffered many defeats, but never once did he feel as deeply frustrated as this one.

Because he had been defeated by the Ming Dynasty army before.

The peasant army's equipment was too crude and its training was seriously insufficient. It seemed natural that it would fail in the battle with the official army.

But in this battle, he faced the Yibu who were also from the peasant army, and he still had an advantage in terms of military strength.

In terms of elites, he has nearly 10,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 elite infantry, which is not too small.

In the end, he was defeated by Weibu, and he was defeated so cleanly!

There was no need to use a telescope at this time, and the scenes of the rout of the invaders in the wilderness came into view one after another.

In the east, Yuan Zong's cavalry was seen fleeing northwestward one after another under the interception of the Wei cavalry and the attack of the infantry.

There were still tens of thousands of elite infantrymen in the middle line, but they fled like an avalanche under the charge of the Yibei rebels. The cavalry supervisory team behind them could not even cut down hundreds of people to stop the collapse!

More than 3,000 Wei cavalrymen from the west were running towards this side, as if they wanted to leave them behind too!

"King Chuang, what should I do with my eyes?" Zhang Nai, the commander of the cavalry at the side, came to his senses and couldn't help but asked anxiously when he saw that his own side was greatly defeated.

Li Zicheng glanced at the battlefield again. Although he was very reluctant, he did not dare to risk his own life and the last three or four thousand cavalry.

He released his clenched hands and gritted his teeth and said, "Ming Jin! Withdraw your troops and retreat!"

After giving the order, Li Zicheng did not go to respond to any one.

He was unable to respond to the largest number of elite infantry.

As for Yuan Zongdi's cavalry, as long as he wants to escape, it is difficult for the enemy to retain much, so he does not need to support him.

On the contrary, thousands of Yibu cavalry from the west are about to rush over. If he fights against them, even if he can defeat these more than 3,000 Yibu cavalry, he and the thousands of cavalry around him may be trapped in a tight siege, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Therefore, he slipped away immediately after giving the order to retreat.

···

Downstream of Tuanhe River, Zhengwan.

Luo Rucai adhered to the principle of being cautious, dispatched partial divisions, and guarded left and right. After spending half an hour carefully, he finally allowed more than half of the 50,000 to 60,000 troops to move to the opposite side through the pontoon bridge set up by the ship.

Luo Rucai himself had just crossed the river not long ago with more than a thousand horsemen and thousands of veteran soldiers.

Seeing that there was not even a shadow of the Yibu rebels around, Luo Rucai couldn't help but smile to Ji Gui, the counselor next to him: "Isn't there a saying in the art of war, strike when you are halfway across.

With so many people, it took nearly half an hour to cross the river. Liu Sheng didn't even know to send troops to attack. All the preparations he made were in vain. "

Ji Gui was a scholar who had been expelled from his position. Like Luo Rucai, he was also an old-fashioned scholar and had some brains, so he was trusted by Luo Rucai.

Hearing this, he apologized and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Liu Sheng is beaten to a pulp by King Chuang at this time and is in dire straits. How can he still think about dealing with the general?"

Luo Rucai was convinced.

He smiled and said: "Since we have agreed that the coalition forces will attack the man named Liu, we certainly can't just let Li Zicheng contribute the force.

Send a military order to the teams on the west bank to cross the river quickly, and let the teams on the east bank get ready. We will set off first to dig out the butt of Liu.

Don't wait until it's too late. The man named Liu was defeated by Li Zicheng, and they couldn't even touch his hair. "

"Order!"

Two horsemen received the military order and rushed to deliver it.

Unexpectedly, not long after the two horsemen left, a group of scout horses came galloping along the river from Xi'an, crossed the river through the small pontoon bridge specially reserved for the messengers, and found Luo Rucai.

"The general is in trouble, King Chuang has been defeated!"

"What did you mean?" Luo Rucai stared, suspecting that he heard wrongly.

"King Chuang was defeated!" Captain Tanma said, "Well, we can see clearly from the west bank. The guns of Weibu are too strong. King Chuang's army collapsed not long after the battle with Weibu's army!"

"How is it possible?!" Luo Rucai raised his voice several times, unwilling to believe it, "Li Zicheng actually let that junior named Liu defeat him? And he defeated so quickly?!"

Captain Tanma saw that Luo Rucai still didn't believe it, so he said: "General, King Chuang is really defeated - when we left, King Chuang fled north!"

"His grandma's..."

Luo Rucai didn't know what to say. Thinking about the joke he had just made about Liu Sheng not knowing how to fight, Luo Rucai felt that his old face was sore from being beaten.

He soon regained his composure and began to give orders.

"Send an order to Yang Chengzu to tell the troops on the west side not to cross the river, and vacate their positions as quickly as possible, so that the troops on the east bank can go back!"

"Send a large team to the north to explore the horses. Once we detect the Yibu rebels coming south, report them immediately!"

"···"

Luo Rucai issued a series of orders, thinking that the arrangements were thorough, and the Yibu rebels had not yet arrived, so the tens of thousands of people under his command could evacuate intact.

As a result, for some reason, after the order was issued, news quickly spread among the troops on the east bank that "the Chuang army was defeated and the Yi army was about to attack."

In addition, most of Luo Rucai's 50,000 to 60,000 troops were "recruited" after entering Nanyang. Many people joined his team for less than a month, and their discipline and organization were very poor.

Under the influence of rumors, a simple crossing of the river turned into a fight for the pontoon!

Many soldiers rushed to the pontoon, and countless people were squeezed into the water.

Fortunately, it was early June and it hadn't rained for a month. The water level in the Tuanhe River had dropped a lot, so not many people drowned.

But this chaos greatly slowed down the speed of Luo Rucai's troops crossing the river.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the exploration horse sent to the north galloped back.

"The general is in trouble! Thousands of Kuei cavalry are coming along the river!"

Thousands of rides?

Luo Rucai lost his composure upon hearing this and quickly asked: "How many thousand riders are there?"

Tan Ma said: "We can't count them, at least three or four thousand."

"This is bad!" Luo Rucai muttered, and then said to Wang Long, the leader of the cavalry: "Quickly clear the passage across the river. We and the people from the old camp must cross the river as soon as possible!"

Under Luo Rucai's order, the ordinary infantrymen who were still slowly crossing the river in the chaos were driven away one after another. Some were even pushed into the river. Some who resisted subconsciously were directly hacked to death by the soldiers of the old camp.

Through this method, Luo Rucai, more than a thousand personal cavalry, and thousands of veteran soldiers finally crossed the river before the Wei cavalry arrived.

But his behavior made the more than 10,000 ordinary infantry still on the east bank of the river completely despair.

When the Wei cavalry came to attack, some people fled directly south, some ran into the rushing river, and many more knelt down on the spot.

Seeing this, Luo Rucai decisively ordered people to burn the pontoon bridge and evacuate with more than 40,000 troops on the west bank...

South of Jitan.

On the battlefield where the Yi army and the Chuang army fought.

Yu Hongyu finally woke up and heard a lot of footsteps and some conversations around him. He was so scared that he didn't dare to move.

"There's another one here!"

"Look at the minor injuries and serious injuries. If the injuries are serious and cannot be cured, give him a break. Those with minor injuries will be sent to a field hospital."

"This should save me."
