Chapter 941

Thirty miles away, the distance is too close, and it is too late for nearly 200,000 troops to evacuate.

There is only one way in front of Wu Sangui and Zhou's army, which is to fight a decisive battle with Zhao Ming. If you defeat the Ming army, you can retreat calmly, otherwise you will most likely be destroyed.

The news from the scout surprised Wu Sangui, but after all, after all, after so many years of experience in big scenes, I would not be scared.

In the Battle of Yipian Shi, Li Zicheng led an army of 500,000, and Wu Sangui was not afraid, Zhao Zamao was nothing.

After a brief surprise, Wu Sangui no longer hesitated and hurriedly ordered the cavalry to be withdrawn, and the army immediately set up a formation and prepare to face the enemy.

Nearly 200,000 Zhou troops formed a formation with the Yellow River on their backs. The Jingshui River to the east, the Sishui River to the west, and the main force of the Ming army rolling in the south.

Wu Sangui pulled the reins of the horse with one hand, controlled the tumbling war horse, gritting his teeth, "There is nothing to say. In this battle, either I was driven out of the Yellow River or Zhao Zamao was defeated by me!"

When the generals of Zhou saw the soldiers in a hurry and each of them took their place, and the cavalry retreated slightly in a scattered manner, they also knew that this was a battle of back and forth and there was no way out.

"My mother, I'll fight with Zhao Zamao!" Wu Guozhu looked angry, Gao Dejie, Zhang Yong, Wu Yingqi and other generals also shared the same hatred.

At this time, the Zhou army was attacked from three sides, and Wu Sangui's army lined up behind the river, and took the defensive momentum on both sides of the east and west. The main force was arranged on the front, and Wu Sangui led the generals to take the central army and was ready for the battle.

The cold wind yelled and blew the military flag and roared. Wu Sangui stood under the battle flag, looking at the south with a cold expression.

The generals of the Zhou army also looked south.

In the world of great struggle, the Central Plains has never been a day since ancient times.

Come on, just in Xingyang, in the Central Plains outside Hulao Pass, let’s fight a lot of male and female!

Let’s see if this world is to return to the southeast tiger Zhao Zamao, or to the northwest dragon Zhou, King of Dragon Zhou!

"Send the order. Once the Mimao soldiers arrive, the horse army will immediately launch a surprise attack while the formation is not stable, and destroy Zhao Zamao for me." Wu Sangui shouted in a deep voice.

As the horse monarch, Wu Sangui has rich experience in battle formations and strategic vision. He knows that the key to this battle is not on the east and west lines, but on the south side of the confrontation with the main force of the Ming army.

At this time, although the Zhou army was surrounded, the Yellow River was behind it. There were no worries about the enemy attacking from later. There were rivers on both sides of the east and west, which could provide a natural barrier for the two wings of the Zhou army. To the south was a plain wilderness, and the Zhou army had many cavalry, which had a great chance of victory.

At this time, nearly 200,000 Zhou troops formed a formation in the wilderness, waiting for Zhao Ming to come.

At this moment, a large area of ​​red carpet-like things appeared several miles south, moving forward slowly.

"He's here! He's here!"

"Zhao Zamao is here!"

Wu Sangui glared at Zhou Jiang who was making a voice, and couldn't help but step on the stirrups with his feet, leaving the saddle with his butt, looking south.

I saw that the one who moved slowly forward was not a carpet, but a layered layer of Ming army, lined up in neat rows, moving forward.

"How many people are there?" Wu Sangui asked in a deep voice.

Hong Chengchou stretched his face and shook his head, "I can't see at a glance, at least one hundred thousand."

Wu Sangui recognized Hong Chengchou's judgment. Looking at the Ming army's formation and the bayonet jungle that was rising and falling with his pace, Wu Sangui's face was gloomy. He was about to wave his hand to order the horse army to attack, but suddenly a few cannons came from the east.

Wang Yi, the general of the Ming army, who chased from Xuzhou to Xingyang, just arrived at the battlefield and led his 40,000 soldiers to attack the Zhou army that was deploying defense along the Beijing River.

"Thief, rampant!" Wu Sangui cursed angrily and waved his hand again. At this moment, there was another noise in the west, and Li Yuanyin, who was on the defense, also launched a counterattack.

"It's outrageous!" Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and wanted to take the lead and attack the Ming army first, but he didn't expect that he was taken first by the Ming army.

Wang Yi has always been steady, but as a veteran of the Ming army, he knew very well that the key to this battle was the duel between Wu Sangui and the Regent in the south.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived at the battlefield, he launched an attack on the Zhou army. His behavior seemed reckless, but in fact he was thoughtful. His purpose was to try to restrain the Zhou army's forces, attract Wu Sangui's attention, and prevent the Zhou army from launching a surprise attack on the main force of the Ming army while Zhao Ming had arrived.

Li Yuanyin was originally stationed on the west bank of the Sishui River and was in a defensive state. When he saw that the Zhou army's cavalry evacuated, his infantry did not launch an attack on the east bank, but instead built fortifications on the spot, he knew that the Zhou army was fighting on both defensive wings and defeating the main force of the Ming army head-on.

As one of the few cavalry generals in the Ming army, Li Yuanyin had another characteristic in addition to being fierce in combat, which was his courage.

Holding the most terrifying strike force on the battlefield, on the battlefield that is tens of thousands of times, whether the cavalry can grasp the opponent's flaws and launch a fatal blow can often change the course of the war.

Therefore, this requires cavalry generals to have strong insight and be brave enough to seize the opportunity of the fighter.

When Li Yuanyin saw the Zhou army building fortifications, he immediately led 3,000 cavalry to rush across the river, rushed up the river beach, and killed the Zhou army's infantry.

Wu Sangui's order was interrupted by the left and right wings. At this time, Zhao Ming led the army and had already pressed forward.

Looking at the ups and downs of the bayonet jungle, this may be the largest musket infantry that Wu Sangui had seen since his expedition, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

"Cabinets attack!" Wu Sangui decisively issued a military order without discussing with anyone.

Nearly 200,000 Zhou troops were located in a narrow area between the Sishui River and the Beijing River. The Ming army came from the south. Every step forward, the area of ​​the Zhou horse army's activity was compressed one step.

The key to decisive victory on the battlefield lies in the showdown between the main forces on the southern front. Wu Sangui insisted on his own judgment, so he did not be disturbed by the attacks of the Ming army on both wings and issued military orders decisively.

The flag was waving, and the horn sounded suddenly. The Zhou army's cavalry slowly came out of the battle and gradually increased their speed.

At this time, under the Ming army's big flag, Zhao Ming raised his right hand and blocked the big flag. The 100,000 troops immediately stopped and lined up on the spot.

Layered musketeers were arranged in a horizontal array, with untidy arrangements in front of the formation, placing horse-rejecting piles and chariots, and launching rockets and artillery.

Three thousand cavalry wandered in front of the formation and guarded the Ming infantry lined up. When the Zhou cavalry gradually increased their speed and rushed towards the Ming army's formation, the Ming cavalry in front of the formation did not fight, but instead drew their horses to retreat to the wings of the front.

The Zhou cavalry who came to kill were rolling iron hooves, with a total of 30,000, which was more than ten times that of the Ming cavalry. The Ming cavalry was naturally not an enemy. Seeing that the infantry had finished arraying, they immediately retreated back to the formation.

At this time, the Qing cavalry had already raised their speed, trampled on the earth, and rushed straight to the Ming army, with a clear purpose, which was to penetrate the Ming formation and attack Zhao Ming's big flag.

If the Zhou army succeeded, Zhao Ming would have given him a head of thousands of miles away. More than 100,000 troops would be basically done even if the entire army was not destroyed.

In this way, the pattern between Ming and Zhou can be reversed instantly.

However, the rumors that Zhao Zamao is invincible and has rarely lost are groundless?

Zhao Ming was in the central army, watching the Zhou cavalry, and thousands of cavalry rushed towards him, rolling in with the force of Mount Tai, without blinking, but waved his hand. After the formation, tens of thousands of Ming troops had turned into dozens of huge hollow formation groups, waiting for Wu Sangui to attack.
