Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 291 Wading across the river

Zhang Shenyan felt quite strange after hearing Zhang Shun's words. Although the rebels were outnumbered and defeated, Deng Qi was also a famous general and his soldiers were quite good at fighting. Where did Zhang Shun get the confidence?

But he didn't know how to use soldiers, so he had to watch from a distance.

Yang Yuchun's understanding of the rebels was still in the imagination of "cutting down trees to make soldiers and raising poles to make flags" harassed by refugees, and he didn't think highly of the rebels. He has a simple mind and allows you to make thousands of plans, but I only have one old idea: I will defeat ten enemies with my strength!

While he dispatched his soldiers to resist the attack of the "crossing generals", he personally led his elite soldiers to follow the formation.

Zhang Shun stood still and ordered Zhang Sanbai to lead more than a thousand "revenge battalions" under his command to meet the enemy. In this revenge camp, due to the loss of many relatives and friends, and Zhang Sanbai taking the opportunity to instill hateful thoughts on a daily basis, every one of them hated the officers and soldiers deeply.

Seeing Yang Yuchun coming with his troops, they were all furious. With a bloody courage, they stepped forward to resist Yang Yuchun.

Although the revenge battalion was poorly equipped, not skilled in martial arts, and unfamiliar with tactics, it still caused great resistance to Yang Yuchun's assault.

Often, officers and soldiers easily killed the enemy in front of them, but they never thought that the rebels would pierce their weapons into their own bodies before dying, or simply hug themselves tightly before dying.

The Revenge Battalion almost fought for their lives, exchanging injuries for injuries. Although the rebels suffered heavy losses, they also greatly frightened the officers and soldiers on the opposite side.

After all, it was a war dominated by cold weapons. Although many officers and soldiers with high martial arts skills killed the rebels on the opposite side, they were dragged tightly before death. They could not get away for a while, but were easily killed by other rebels.

This has a great impact on the morale of the officers and soldiers. After all, everyone comes to serve as soldiers to receive pay and rewards, not to die.

That Zhang Sanbai was also a ruthless person. He was wearing heavy armor and took the lead in the counterattack. For a while, the officers and soldiers who were fighting back were retreating steadily.

Yang Yuchun became so angry that he killed five or six deserters with his own hands to stop the decline of the officers and soldiers.

The two armies are fighting on the front line. If he is strong, I will be weak; if I am strong, he will be weak. The officers and soldiers stopped their decline here and slowly stabilized the battle line. The shortcomings of Zhang Sanbai's revenge battalion who only relied on blood and courage were exposed.

The Revenge Battalion was unable to defeat the enemy in front of them for a while, and it suffered heavy losses, and was in danger of collapse soon.

Fortunately, Zhang Shun was well aware of the level of the newly formed revenge camp. Seeing that the officers and soldiers had stabilized their position, he quickly ordered Jiang He and Li Jiyu to lead the old soldiers to the top, and then slowly withdrew the revenge camp for repairs.

After Jiang He and Li Jiyu's old soldiers suppressed the arrogance of the officers and soldiers, they once again ordered the "King of Fighting for the World" and "The King of Zhishi" to lead the new brothers to fight against the officers and soldiers.

The teams of "King of the World" and "King of the World" were even worse. They were rushed back and forth by Yang Yuchun twice before they could stand it any longer. Zhang Shun had no choice but to order Jiang He and Li Jiyu to rescue them again.

In this way, Zhang Shun used the "wheel war" tactic to grind against Yang Yuchun little by little. It's just that the officers and soldiers were quite strong, and they pushed Zhang Shun's team back gradually.

It seemed that only one more charge was needed to defeat Zhang Shun's team. However, Yang Yuchun personally led the team and launched three or four charges, but none of them achieved the expected results.

Yang Yuchun couldn't help but become impatient when he saw that his team was gradually being surrounded by the rebels. He killed several soldiers around him and cursed: "Son of a turtle! In the past, what's the point of raising me with wine, meat, gold and silver? You're not even willing to work hard!"

After saying this, he prepared to launch another charge. If it failed again, he would have no choice but to break through and retreat first.

It was only when he organized his subordinates again and personally led the charge. But suddenly he heard the roar of the soldiers around him. He turned around and saw a dark group of cavalry coming out from the other side of the river, accompanied by the deafening sound of horse hooves.

Yang Yuchun felt something bad in his heart, but he shouted loudly: "Why are you panicking? Although there are many thieves and cavalry, they can't cross the river! When we defeat the enemy in front of us, it won't be too late to turn around and deal with them!"

As soon as Yang Yuchun finished speaking, he saw that the cavalry on the opposite side did not slow down at all and actually rushed towards the Mang River.

It turns out that the Mang River is a river with a small water flow. In addition, the weather has been dry in recent years. Farmers along the bank have diverted water many times for irrigation. Although the river looks very wide, in fact there is not much water left.

Zhang Shun had already sent people to find out that the water in the river was only up to his waist. The cavalry waded across the river without even dismounting.

Chen Changzhen and Liu Cheng had been waiting in the distance for a long time. After Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang" attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers, they rushed over to flank Yang Yuchun.

When the officers and soldiers saw the rebels wading into the water and attacking their backs, they immediately made a loud noise, discarded their helmets and armor, turned around and fled.

Yang Yuchun charged forward and was unable to get behind him to stop the officers and soldiers from escaping. Seeing that he couldn't do anything, he felt that he was about to suffer, so he quickly led his elite men, turned around and fled for their lives together.

But Yang Yuchun charged too deep, where could he escape? They met Chen Changzhen and Liu Cheng's cavalry wading through the water.

They took the opportunity to rush and kill them, resulting in numerous casualties among the officers and soldiers. Yang Yuchun was as fierce as a tiger in the wind, and fled like a dragon against the wind. He did not dare to fight anymore, and quickly fled eastward surrounded by dozens of personal guards.

Chen Changzhen and Liu Cheng pursued them like ducks, driving the officers and soldiers westward.

Not long after the officers and soldiers escaped, they looked up and saw a large river lying in front of them. It turns out that this river is the Zhulong River when the officers and soldiers crossed the river. It was also called Jishui even earlier.

There are chasing troops behind and "thieves" in front of you. What can you do? Yang Yuchun's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly: "If you fight quickly, you will survive. If you don't fight quickly, you will perish. Why don't you all follow me and fight to the death to defeat the bandits and survive?"

The officers and soldiers were silent for a moment, and then someone answered loudly: "The general's words are reasonable, how dare we disobey him?"

When everyone heard this, they all shouted: "We will fight to the death or not. We will follow the general to the death, and we ask the general to make a decision as soon as possible!"

Yang Yuchun was overjoyed when he heard this. Seeing that the morale of his men was ready, he quickly ordered: "All armies, listen to the order and follow me to kill the enemy!"

After saying that, he actually led his bodyguards to turn around and charge towards Chen Changzhen and Liu Cheng who were charging.

As the saying goes, "When a thousand people pass by, the mountains and fields are full." Chen Changzhen and Liu Chengqian rode in with thousands of horses. From Yang Yuchun's point of view, it looked like a rolling torrent, with the sound of huge horse hooves and the shaking of the earth, reminding him of the terror of the enemy in front of him all the time.

Fortunately, there were still one or two thousand soldiers behind him to rely on. Yang Yuchun calmed down his mind a little, dispelled some fear, and rushed forward in an unstoppable manner.

It's just that the cavalry under Zhang Shun's command are much stronger than the infantry under his command. How could Yang Yuchun withstand these dozens of horses? It was like water droplets sprinkled on the waves, and it was swallowed up completely in an instant.
