Liu Rukui, on the other hand, did not feel proud because of the praise from his subordinates. Anyone who could achieve his position would not be an idiot. He is analyzing the possible factors that may have caused this situation.
He said that the Ming army had no gunpowder, and this point of view aroused his recognition.
I heard from King Dashun before that there was news from an insider that the Ming army was running out of gunpowder. Now it seems that this is really the case.
Thinking that if the Ming army ran out of gunpowder, they would have nothing to fear. With the 30,000 Dashun troops in his hands and so many old camp brothers, he could definitely fight the Ming army and even have a great chance of winning. His face gradually became more beautiful.
"God is going to help me make a great contribution, haha. Come, send the order, the army will move forward. If you find that the Ming army is retreating, then rush forward and kill them. You must not let them go. Escape back to Beijing City."
After Liu Rukui had his own analysis, he decided to take the initiative. Of course, he was always ready to retreat if something went wrong.
This is actually the consistent routine of Dashun Army. Fight if you can, run away if you can't, and then reoccupy the ground, trick more people into joining, and look for opportunities to fight again.
That is to say, the Ming Dynasty was very weak at this time, and some local generals liked to support their troops, preserve their strength, and always fight independently. This gave the Dashun Army a chance.
If it had been the Ming Dynasty when it was strong, there would have been no possibility for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to rise.
With the idea of making a great contribution, Liu Rukui took the initiative to come with an army of 30,000 people. Along the way, he also encountered many deserters who had been defeated from the front. When these people saw so many Dashun troops gathered here, they immediately felt confident, and a large number of them joined Liu Rukui's team.
Of course, there was also a small group of people who were really frightened by the powerful firearms displayed by the Ming army and simply chose to continue running away.
Many of them were farmers before. Later, due to various reasons, they lost their homes and became refugees. In order to have a bite to eat, they joined the Dashun Army.
I originally thought that the Dashun Army was so powerful that they could conquer the world, so if I followed them in rebellion, I might even be able to make a bright future. But when they saw the power of the Ming army's firearms, this idea disappeared.
Future is important, but compared with life, what is it?
Of course, Liu Rukui didn't know what the ordinary soldiers below were thinking. He now wanted to find the main force of the Ming army, and then attack and destroy them in a massive way.
If he can really destroy the main force of the Ming army this time, it is still impossible to become a general in power, but there is still a high chance that he can be promoted from a mighty general to a general in charge.
With this idea in mind, Liu Rukui kept urging the army to advance, but he didn't know that with this move, he had already stepped into the Palace of Hell.
Zhu Changwu and his dragon soldiers were rushing towards him.
There was no rush march because he needed both himself and the dragon soldiers to conserve their physical strength. After all, there were only more than two hundred of them, and it was impossible to kill all the hundreds of thousands of intruders outside the city. What he could do was to conserve his strength as much as possible when he did not encounter the enemy's main force.
I originally wanted to see the enemy speeding up the pursuit, but unexpectedly, the drone showed that the enemy was coming over on its own initiative.
"Hey, there are quite a few people coming. This is a big fat sheep, haha." Through the picture transmitted back by the drone, Zhu Changwu saw a huge Dashun army coming from the southeast of them. This made me laugh happily.
Not only was Zhu Changwu laughing, but the more than two hundred quasi-dragon soldiers around him were also laughing.
After the battle just now, they have more confidence in the weapons in their hands. At this moment, they have already developed a feeling of having a gun in their hands and the whole world.
When the fighting spirit was high and the morale was even higher, the Dashun Army actually took the initiative to kill them. How could this not make everyone happy and excited?
As for saying that they only had more than 200 people and the enemy might be tens of thousands, this was simply ignored by them.
With the latest weapons in their hands, what they are least afraid of is the large number of enemies.
What's the matter, when the gunfire goes off, will everyone be scared and run away with their heads in their hands?
There is nothing to fear from such an enemy who can't even get close to him.
"Everyone, have you seen the barren grassland in front of us? With this as the center, we will lay out an encirclement. We will be ready here to hit the enemy head-on."
Since the enemy came over on their own initiative, it saved them the trouble of pursuing them. Zhu Changwu decided to wait for work in leisure.
With the general's order, more than two hundred quasi-dragon soldiers immediately began to make various preparations. Outside the wasteland, several positions were quickly preset, especially the five heavy machine guns. At this time, a cross fire network was formed, which ensured that when the fire was fired, there would be no blind spots and no counterattack for the enemy. A breather.
Everyone had just arrived at their positions when the sound of chaotic footsteps came from not far away, and more than 30,000 shun troops slowly appeared in the sight of the quasi-dragon soldiers.
...
The capital of the Ming Dynasty, the city of Beijing.
The Ming army said they were going out for a military parade, but then there was no movement.
Li You felt that something was wrong, so he sent someone to find a way out of the city to see the situation.
It doesn't matter if you don't see it, you will be shocked when you see it. There was no sign of the Ming army outside the city.
This is an army of 50,000 Ming soldiers. How could they just disappear? There must be a lot to say about this.
Unable to contact King Dashun in the city, Li You found Wang Zhixin and discussed what to do next.
When Li You and others arrived at the palace of Yushi Mao Yujian, Wang Zhixin and others hurriedly greeted him. This is King Dashun's favorite general, and being appreciated and recommended by him will be of great benefit to him in the future in the Dashun Dynasty.
"Do you know that all the Ming troops left the city?" Li You asked as soon as they met.
"I know, didn't they say there was a military parade in the city?" Wang Zhixin replied with a smile.
Wang Zhixin said this, and Yang Guanguang, Mao Yujian, Wu Mengming, Luo Yangxing and others who followed him also nodded.
They nodded and smiled at the Ming army's stupidity. The country was about to be destroyed, and they didn't know what the meaning of the military parade was.
"A bunch of idiots. I have sent people out of the city to check. There is no Ming army outside the city at all. We were all fooled." Seeing that Wang Zhixin and others had no idea where the Ming army was going, Li You became furious. Said.
"What? The Ming army is not outside the city, so where did they go?" Mao Yujian spoke quickly. After hearing this, he said in surprise.
"You ask me, how do I know?" Li You, who almost laughed angrily at Mao Yujian, glared at him with dissatisfaction.
"General, you are not mistaken, are you?" Wu Mengming asked. In fact, this result was something they had never thought of.
"How could I be wrong? That's fifty thousand Ming troops, fifty thousand. Where can they hide without being found? Besides, what's the use of hiding now?" Li You looked at the idiot again. Wu Mengming.
He discovered that these people who took refuge in King Dashun were not very reliable. When something happened, they asked questions one by one, but they still didn't believe him. Did he need to lie to these people?
Not wanting to continue explaining, Li You said: "Okay, the current situation is that the Ming army has indeed disappeared. As for where they went, I'm afraid we won't be able to guess it for a while, but now that the Ming army has left the city Now that there is no Ming Dynasty armed force in the city, we should do some things of our own. You should keep an eye on the palace. Is Mr. Chongzhen still in the palace? "
When asked by Li You, Wang Zhixin instinctively replied: "Yes."
"are you sure?"
"This... must be there. I sent people to keep an eye on the outside of the palace, and I didn't see the emperor's car coming out." Wang Zhixin was stared at by Li You, and he was a little unsure, There was some hesitation when speaking.
"What? Not seeing the emperor's Luan Jia coming out can prove that he didn't leave the palace? Could it be that Chongzhen wouldn't have walked out on his own?" Li You was really angry at this answer.
I thought that with the cooperation of people like Wang Zhixin, I could know Chongzhen's every move. But now it seems that these are just some rubbish, rubbish that cannot be used.
"Ah! No way. Why does the emperor want to leave the palace? Is he trying to escape?" Wang Zhixin still has his own cleverness, and he finally reacted at this moment.
He is not like Li You. Li Zicheng sent him a letter long ago, telling Chongzhen that he wanted to break out of the capital. Therefore, Wang Zhixin never thought about Chongzhen's escape. He always thought that the emperor would defend Beijing City and wait for King Qin's army to arrive.
But now, judging from Li You's intentions, Chongzhen clearly wants to escape. If this is the case, he might not be in the palace now. After all, Chongzhen had two legs and could go wherever he wanted. He didn't necessarily have to drive out of the capital in a luan. Wouldn't that mean telling everyone where he was?
In that case, how could he still escape?
"Okay. Now you lead the way. We will go to the palace immediately. We will know it when we take a look. By the way, didn't you say before that there were two thousand Jinyi guards? Bring them all with you this time. If Chongzhen didn't run away, then we will Fight in and capture him alive." Seeing that Wang Zhixin and the others couldn't do anything, Li You decided to follow his plan.
Li You actually wanted to break into the palace, which frightened Wang Zhixin and the others.
But after being surprised and thinking about it, there is no Ming army in the capital now. In other words, the current defensive power of the palace is also very weak. Even so, it may not be impossible to attack Huanglong directly.
