Borrow the day to change the day

At the Yellow River Ferry, with the efforts of all the leaders, more than [-] people finally took shape and formed a basic square formation.

The reason why it can be so fast still benefits from two points.One is that the leaders tell people that there are not many officers and soldiers, and it is no problem to defeat them; the other is that most people see that the elites go to the front, and think that if there are more officers and soldiers, the leaders are not fools, and they will definitely not let the elites go to the front. to die.

Therefore, considering these two aspects, they will not panic in their hearts, and they will act quickly if they do not panic.

Zijinliang saw that the rebel army had already formed a formation along the Yellow River as he had imagined.Slightly proud, he said to the non-sticky mud next to him: "Do you know why I have arranged this?"

Non-sticky mud is very good at escaping, so it got this nickname.Seeing Zijin Liang asking him, he couldn't understand after looking at it, so he asked, "Why?"

"In the Han Dynasty, Han Xin fought with his back. With his back against the Yellow River, there was no place to escape, so he had to fight to the death. I reckon that if the officers and soldiers don't come this time with tens of thousands of troops, they won't be able to defeat us." Zijin Liang shook his head slightly, slightly Explained a little proudly.

Bu Ni Ni looked at it, a little puzzled and said: "Isn't there still a pontoon to run on?"

Although Zijinliang used this back-to-back strategy, he was still a little uncertain. What if the officers and soldiers really came with tens of thousands of people, what should we do? You can also withdraw.

Another reason is that although this rebel army apparently supports him as the leader, there are still many forces in the end.What he said was good to listen to, but no one would agree with it if it was not good for them. [

If he said that he destroyed the pontoon bridge and used his determination to fight to the last ditch, there would definitely be people who would jump out and oppose it.

Therefore, Zijin Liang did not send anyone to destroy the pontoon bridge.Now when Bu Ni Ni asked about the pontoon bridge, he explained: "There are still people guarding the pontoon bridge. If you dare to go on the bridge without the order of the army, you will be killed. This means that there is no way out."

Bu Ni Ni nodded when he heard it, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it. He was a quick-tempered person, so if he couldn't remember it, he didn't think about it anymore and put it to the back of his mind.

"Quiet, quiet..." The little bosses under each leader shouted while patrolling, telling those who were still whispering to each other even though they were in line to shut up.

As for the soft goods carried by the soldiers, they were all tied to their own bodies.Although this is not very appropriate, since they became an army, they have been fighting while walking, walking and fighting. If they are not tied to their bodies, they may be gone.

Therefore, none of the leaders asked the soldiers to throw away the treasures or pile them up in one place. Everyone was poor and crazy. If the treasures were left behind, it would be hard to say whether they could be retrieved.Therefore, the leaders are quite self-aware at this point, and there is no order that most people will resist.

Or when there are more wars and a certain amount of manpower and financial resources, this situation will change. But now the rebellion has not been long, and it has been in the stage of fleeing for life, so it can only be maintained in this way.

The team hadn't completely quieted down yet, but at this moment, those with sharp ears could faintly hear the sound of rumbling horseshoes.Immediately afterwards, I saw dust flying in the direction of the official road. Although the scale was not very large, it indicated that a cavalry group was coming to the Yellow River ferry.

The atmosphere in the rebel army suddenly became tense. This effect was more effective than those little bosses yelling at them to shut up. Everyone shut up and looked nervously in the direction from which the sound of horseshoes came.

Many people in the rebel army secretly prayed to Mantian gods and Buddhas in their hearts, hoping that not many officers and soldiers would come.

What they didn't expect was that they only guessed the quantity, not the object.

On the slope where the sound of horseshoes sounded, what finally appeared was the cavalry they were familiar with.Tattered clothes, crude weapons, and skinny war horses, these are the brothers who just chased after the Ming army.

Many members of the rebel army let out a long sigh, it turned out that they were their own people.Some optimistic people even thought that the cavalry brothers wouldn't have killed those Ming soldiers Ye Bushou, and then returned with their troops.

People who had this kind of thought were quickly disappointed. First, they saw the cavalry brothers running fast, and when they got closer, they could see the panic on their faces.These signs were integrated in their minds, and they came to a conclusion that these cavalry brothers were running away!

Non-sticky mud came to this conclusion first, and his face changed a little immediately.If nothing else happened, there must be enemies chasing them that they couldn't beat. I don't know if more than 5000 of them can resist the enemies that are about to appear. [

When he was about to discuss with Zijin Liang, he found that from the opposite direction, that is, the direction from which the cavalry fled back, there was louder and louder hoofbeats, and the raised dust covered half of the sky.Compared with the dust brought up by those cavalry brothers in front, it really pales in comparison.

Now there is no need to discuss, anyone who is a little normal can see that there are a lot of official cavalry chasing those cavalry brothers.

There are only three or four hundred cavalry on my side, but the enemy may have thousands of cavalry.If the infantry is against the cavalry, it will take several times as many troops as possible to defeat the cavalry.

The more than five thousand rebels, including the leaders, lost their minds and began to panic.There were even some people with relatively high status who could walk around in formation, and began to approach the bridge quietly.

After all, Zijin Liang was the boss, seeing that the officers and soldiers hadn't shown up yet, he was already afraid of being like this on his own side, it was really useless.

So, he began to gallop between the queues, shouting as he ran, "Don't be afraid, brothers, the officers and soldiers, that is, the servants of those generals, are stronger. Now the brothers who can fight are in the front, as long as they hold the charge The servants at the front, victory belongs to us."

The leader of his subordinates followed behind Zijin Liang, loudly boosting morale with similar words.

The other leaders also know that the current morale is not good. If it goes on like this, I am afraid it will be the same as fighting Hong Shatou. When the opponent's elite servants charge, they will disperse, and then the opponent's entire army will press down, leaving only one on their side. There was a choice, and that was to escape.

As a result, they also began to boost morale in their own ways.To be honest, such encouragement from the leaders really had an effect, and many people settled down, trying their best to start fantasizing about the good side.

But what the leaders didn't expect was that the fifty or sixty cavalry who chased and killed the Ming army who refused to take them at night, when they fled back to their own camp, they all shouted: "The official army is here, the official army is here..."

"A lot of cavalry, too many..."

"The officers and soldiers are all cavalry, it's terrible, they are all elite..."

Some even shouted: "Run, thousands of cavalry are coming."

"It's over, it's over, officers and soldiers who shave their heads better than Hong are here."

Only a few cavalry soldiers who were from the frontier army did not shout, but when they heard what their companions shouted, they knew it was going to be bad, and their already pale faces became a little bit worse.

As a result, the morale of the rebel army began to disintegrate again. The face of the rebel army who heard their shouts became more and more ugly. They began to look around to see if a leader ordered to withdraw, or if someone took the lead and ran first, he could follow. .

Seeing this situation, the leaders were determined to kill the cavalry who fled back.They are all so blind, don't know what is needed here is to boost the morale of the army!

When these fleeing cavalry troops approached their own formation, they began to slow down, and then recognized where their leader was, and ran to report the situation.

The leaders listened to their report with livid faces, but in the end they still couldn't figure out how many people from the Ming army had come, and the leaders were so angry that they scolded these idiots one after another.

Li Hongji was right next to Gao Yingxiang. Seeing this scene, and remembering that the Ming army elites who were against him would not stop at night, he had no confidence in this battle at all.

He approached Gao Yingxiang quietly, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, this battle will definitely not be won. Rather than being wiped out by the Ming army on the Yellow River beach, it is better to go back to Shaanxi."

Gao Yingxiang was worried and annoyed by the situation in front of him. Hearing what his nephew said, he became even more agitated. He looked at Li Hongji with a cold face and said, "Stop talking nonsense. The enemy didn't see it. How could you mess yourself up?"

After the training, he turned back to look at his subordinates, yelling or encouraging them from time to time.

Li Hongji saw that his uncle didn't listen to his persuasion, didn't know how to judge the situation, and was self-willed, so he secretly sighed in his heart, motioned Li Guo, and moved towards the pontoon bridge unobtrusively.

Finally, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer, and the officers and soldiers began to show their figures on the bank slope.
