please make me king

Chapter 485

"Left Gold King" He Jin was right, and the officers and soldiers caused even greater confusion because of the order to change formations issued by the general Zhang Quanchang in a panic.

Before the formation of the officers and soldiers was completed, He Jin and others rushed into the enemy's formation first.The sharp spear, like a knife cutting tofu, easily pierced the body of the officer and soldier in front of him.

Even if some cavalry were unable to stab the enemy in front of them due to lack of sight, they could break the formation of officers and soldiers just by hitting and trampling their horses.

Although He Jin's assault this time was a blind attack, it caught the officers and soldiers by surprise and penetrated three or four layers of defense at once.

However, He Jin did not like to fight, he knew that Liu Cheng reacted quickly.In the dark night, when the rebels can't see each other.

If he couldn't retreat in time, Liu Cheng's galloping cavalry would probably "string gourds" with himself and the officers and soldiers in front of him.

The officers and soldiers attacked from the east, and the rolling Yellow River was on the right.The cavalry led by He Jin had no way to retreat to the left and right.He could only try his best to let the soldiers under his command kill to the left, and retreat horizontally to the left while killing.

What He Jin expected was right, as expected, the cavalry under his command just broke away from contact with the officers and soldiers.Liu Cheng's cavalry roared over there, and like an awl, they violently nailed into the already chaotic formation of officers and soldiers again.

Zhang Quanchang led his swordsmen to fight desperately, and finally resisted the second wave of charge with his flesh and blood.As a result, as soon as Liu Cheng's front army left, the rear army came again, and the third wave of cavalry charge roared again.

It turned out that due to poor vision at night, Liu Cheng avoided a mistake that caused the entire cavalry to be wiped out.He divided the [-] cavalry under his command into three teams to charge in waves.

Now Zhang Quanchang finally showed despair.The rebels were too ruthless, not to mention charging at night, if they couldn't see the road clearly, they could easily break their horseshoes; it was just like this wave after wave of charges, and one carelessness would be the result of cannibalism.

He even saw with his own eyes a rebel army who was charged by the next wave of cavalry because they did not retreat in time, and he was pierced to death on the spot with a spear along with his horse and man.

Wave after wave of cavalry tore the "wounds" of the formation of officers and soldiers, vowing to tear apart the formation of officers and soldiers.

Could it be that I, Zhang Quanchang, are going to end up like Cao Bianjiao this time?

Zhang Quanchang was frightened at this moment. He turned around and saw the boats that had been transporting soldiers back and forth approaching the shore.

So, he ignored the officers and soldiers who were fighting bravely, and ran to the river, and the boats shouted: "I am Zhang Quanchang, the commander-in-chief, come and save me!"

When the transport ship reached the shore, Zhang Quanchang stepped into the water and ran towards the ship desperately, regardless of the ship's docking.

Fortunately, the water on the river bank was not deep. When Zhang Quanchang ran up to the boat with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the river water had just reached his waist.

By the time the soldiers and Zhouzi tried their best to pull him up, his boots had already been sucked away by the mud in the river.

With his bare feet soaked in mud and his lower body completely drenched, Zhang Quanchang, the commander-in-chief, breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered in embarrassment: "It's not going to help, let's go back to the north bank of the river!"

It doesn't matter if Zhang Quanchang leaves. How can the officers and soldiers still have the fighting spirit?The general is the courage of the army, the courage breaks the army and breaks up.They immediately dropped their weapons and shouted loudly: "I am willing to surrender, and I ask King Shun to spare my life!"

The officers and soldiers called out three or five times, Zhang Shun heard it clearly, this time he quickly ordered Zhao Lizi, He Jin and Liu Cheng to stop attacking.

It was only after gathering all the weapons of the officers and soldiers that Zhang Shun stepped forward to accept the surrender.

Zhang Shun fought fiercely with Zhang Quanchang, the general soldier, while Cao Wenzhao, Xiao Qinhu and others were not idle.

When Zhang Shun was attacking northwest along the river with great fanfare, the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river had already seen it clearly, and quickly reported the matter to Cao Wenzhao, the commander in chief.

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "So, Zhang Quanchang is in danger!"

Mu Ziqiang immediately volunteered and said, "In this case, I would like to lead my troops to support Zhang Quanchang, the commander-in-chief!"

Cao Wenzhao shook his head and sighed: "The three of us committed serious crimes because of our defeat in the war. Your Majesty gave us the grace to go to Henan Mansion to suppress the bandits and capture Luoyang City. The original intention was to catch the bandits by surprise while they were not in a stable foothold. .”

"This is also the reason why we traveled day and night after we left Xuanfu. It's just that we didn't expect that the thief's reaction was faster than we imagined, and his combat effectiveness was higher than we imagined. I know my nephew Cao Bianjiao's ability to lead troops. There are only [-] troops, if you were an ordinary bandit, I'm afraid he would have already defeated him, let alone defeating the bandit, he would have captured him instead!"

"As soon as the officers and soldiers failed to seize the Mengjin Ferry, they could only count on Zhang Quanchang to seize the Baima Ferry. But now the smuggling of the Yellow River has been discovered by the thieves. That Zhang Quanchang left the camp not long ago, and it was too late for the whole army to cross the river. I am afraid that the battle will be over. More bad luck than good luck"

"Lead your troops to take a look. If God really helped me and already occupied the south bank of the Yellow River, you will cross the river in time to support. If you have already lost the battle, help him gather the defeated troops and minimize the loss of troops."

Mu Ziqiang knew that Cao Wenzhao, the commander-in-chief, was no longer optimistic about Zhang Quanchang's end, but he had no choice but to have a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly led his soldiers to Baihe Ferry.

Mu Ziqiang's men were all infantry, and by the time he arrived, the battle on the south bank of the river was almost over.

Mu Ziqiang waited for a while before that Zhang Quanchang jumped off the boat in embarrassment.When he saw Mu Ziqiang, he couldn't help crying bitterly: "Brother, where did we fight such an aggrieved battle!"

Mu Ziqiang had no choice but to comfort him: "Brother, don't worry. When Cao Zongbing got the news that the thieves found his brother crossing the river, he expected this day, and he will definitely not blame you."

"Since ancient times, victory or defeat has been a common matter for military strategists. Don't blame yourself, brother. Come back to the camp with me, and then make a long-term plan!"

Zhang Quanchang groaned for a long while, then popped out a sentence: "Then we have too many routines, don't we?"

Mu Ziqiang was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly looked around. Seeing that the rest of the soldiers were not paying attention, he reprimanded in a low voice: "What do you mean, brother? Do you still want to blame Cao Zongbing for failing? Now that brothers are defeated, whether to punish them or not depends entirely on him." In Cao Zongbing's first thought, brothers, be cautious!"

Only then did Zhang Quanchang startle, his back was covered in cold sweat.He hurriedly cupped his hands, and replied in a low voice: "Thank you brother for reminding me, I don't thank you for your kindness, brother will definitely thank you in the future!"

When Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang returned to the Mengjindukou camp, Cao Wenzhao greeted them early and welcomed the two into the camp. Then he said with a smile, "Don't be discouraged, the two generals. It's just because the thieves have taken advantage of the location. A certain thief was eager to suppress the thief, so he let the thief attack halfway and gained the upper hand."

"Now I have thought of a prudent plan, which will make the thieves helpless and watch our army cross the Yellow River!"
