Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 581

All the generals who fought with Zhu Yousong felt that Zhu Yousong's behavior was abnormal today.

In just two years, Zhu Yousong has experienced many battles.But no matter whether it is a big battle or a small battle, including the battle of cleaning factory guards, fighting against disobedient warlords, fighting against thieves, and fighting against Tartars, etc., Zhu Yousong is always disadvantaged and has never lost a single battle. Record.

Although sometimes in deep danger, Zhu Yousong was able to persist in fighting until the danger was saved and defeat turned into victory.

For example, when he fought against the Tartars a year ago, he only took two beautiful bodyguards to go deep into the enemy's rear to spy on the military situation, and was trapped in Sanhe Town by Dorgon's [-] Banners elite cavalry.

In the eyes of others, this is a fruitless battle, and the three of them can only be caught without a fight.Three against 3, this battle is impossible to fight, let alone the opponent is an elite of the Eight Banners.

But Zhu Yousong still killed a few in and out of the Ten Thousand Horse Army, scolded Fan Wencheng, chased and killed Dorgon, and killed the Mongolian Niulu Erzhen Basar. The last three people retreated and cast immortality legend.

However, Zhu Yousong was exceptionally calm today, allowing Li Zicheng to win one game after another, and the soldiers of the Ming army felt suffocated.

Who can be Zhu Yousong's opponent in heads-up now?Oboi, the number one warrior in Manchuria, is no good, he is even stronger than Oboi, and neither is Zu Dabi, who is known as the second lunatic. They have fought against each other a long time ago, but today Zhu Yousong couldn't hold back.

As an emperor, he doesn't need to go out in person. Why not let these soldiers go out? Ma Wannian, the one-eyed general, Zhang Huan, the archer, and Ma Jinhua, the champion of martial arts, can all fight against Li Zicheng, but let Li Zicheng's six Li Zicheng betrayed Daming and surrendered to Zhang Xianzhong when the old troops came out. Could it be that His Majesty is going to use this method to test the loyalty of these six surrendered generals?

However, the six generals were all defeated, some were dead, some were wounded, some were captured and captured, why didn't His Majesty let him go to battle now, and he didn't go out to deal with Li Zicheng himself?

The 20 soldiers of the Ming army, except for Gao Guiying, Song Xiance and Xiao Liushi, no one knows the mystery.

"Your Majesty, we have already lost a few games. If Your Majesty doesn't fight, why doesn't he let us play?" He Xuanjiao couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Yousongyun smiled lightly, "Without him, I just want to be defeated."

Zhu Yousong's answer made He Xuanjiao and the others even more adorable. They looked at Zhu Yousong in puzzlement, and asked with their eyes: Why did Your Majesty say that?Do you still want to lose the war?Who doesn't want to win a battle?And His Majesty wants to seek a defeat, why is that?

Zhu Yousong continued: "In the past few years, I have always won every battle, no matter who I fight against, whether it's big or small, whether it's singled out or melee, one fight wins the other, and the rest is meaningless. So today I want to seek a defeat, why not?"

"Ah?" Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened. Did anyone make a joke about the war?The soldiers of the Ming army were even more confused.

Zhu Yousong's answer like this is of course pretending to be coercive. Of course he can't tell the truth now, because the strategy between him and Li Zicheng is in progress and has reached a critical period.

Winning or losing is a common thing for military strategists, and losing a few rounds is nothing at all, let alone this is a one-on-one fight?
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong felt that the fire was coming, and ordered his former army commander Wang Dingguo, left army leader Ma Yuanli, and right army leader Zhang Hualong to lead his troops to attack.Three teams of 10 horses rushed forward, like overwhelming mountains and seas, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.

"Adjust the formation and meet the enemy!"

It's okay to lose a few rounds in a single duel, because that's a strategy, and the next melee between the two armies must do their best to win, otherwise it will be a waste of life.

So Zhu Yousong gave an order, and the Ming army at the forefront immediately withdrew like an ebbing tide.

He didn't even release his bow and arrow. On the surface, it seemed that the morale of the Daxi army was high, while the morale of the Ming army was weak, and it looked like it would collapse at the first touch.

Therefore, the Daxi army became more vigorous, screaming, like opening a gate to release a flood, rushing over, intending to annihilate the Ming army in one fell swoop.

In fact, they didn't take a closer look. The Ming army in front was retreating, not retreating. The retreat was an orderly retreat, and the retreat was not chaotic.The rout is completely different, it is throwing away the helmet and armor, and it is completely fleeing for one's life.

But now the Great Western Army has forgotten what it is, even the senior generals Zhang Xianzhong, Ai Nengqi, Xu Yixian and others did not see it, thinking that this Zhang Ming army will undoubtedly lose.

But at this moment, a neat team lined up, not many people, only 3000 people, but they were all cavalry. spear.

This is one of Zhu Yousong's ace troops, the imperial cavalry.

Because the morale of the Ming army is low now, Zhu Yousong certainly knows that fighting depends on morale, not entirely determined by the number of troops. The Ming army urgently needs to boost morale, so he ranked this team at the bottom. Front.

This is also where Zhu Yousong knew Zhang Xianzhong's 20 troops against Zhang Xianzhong's 30 troops with an army of [-]. In the wilderness, there are no strong walls, no firepower, and the enemy is strong and we are weak. In this situation, if there is no countermeasure, Only fools would do that.

What, want a defeat?This is just Zhu Yousong's pretense and ridicule, and only a brainless person would believe it.

The Iron Cavalry of the Imperial Battalion is a team personally trained by Liu Zhaoji, the former commander of the Imperial Battalion and the current Secretary of the Ministry of War, according to Zhu Yousong's wishes. This team is an elite team selected from various armies. After two years of experience, this army can now be called an iron army. It has experienced hundreds of battles and once defeated the elite of the Eight Banners of Dorgon.

Under the command of the commander Zhang Huan, the imperial cavalry was dispatched.

This team is different from other cavalry teams. It is slower than ordinary cavalry, but faster than infantry, and it pays attention to the same word.

First of all, their equipment and weapons are uniform, all of which are iron helmets and armor, and then they are double weapons with bows, arrows and spears.

Secondly, when they charged into battle, they lined up in long formations, forming two or three rows as needed, advancing and retreating together, similar to the iron-clad chained horses of the Song Dynasty, but the war horses had no armor and were not connected by iron chains. Much more flexible.

Zhang Huan had been suppressed for a long time, commanding 3000 cavalry to kill him.Because this is a wide field, the Great Western Army is coming fiercely, so the 3000 men and horses lined up in two neat rows, advancing forward as a whole like wild goose wings.

"Get on the bow and arrow!"

Zhang Huan saw the Daxi Army coming pressing down on the ground, and the Daxi Army rushing to the front would be 30 to 50 steps away from them. Zhang Huan gave an order and shot an arrow. The fiery red satin flag embroidered with the word "King" fell to the ground.
