At this moment, in Li Zicheng's central army camp, countless soldiers were regrouping in the reignited bonfire. As the flames flickered around them, scouts were reporting the situation ahead.
"Report, the vanguard camp was attacked by the Ming army at night.”
"What?"
Li Zicheng and the surrounding generals were all shocked. The Ming army actually dared to attack at night?
They had hundreds of thousands of troops stationed here, yet the Ming army still dared to attack at night. This was simply courting death.
In an instant, no one was shocked by this news. Instead, their hearts were filled with endless anger, and their eyes flickered with a cold light.
Li Zicheng slammed his fist on the table in front of him and roared,"" How preposterous! Order Gao Yi to quickly destroy this group of Ming soldiers and cast their corpses into the capital…"
Before he could finish his words, a scout horse galloped over and reported with a panicked expression,"
"Report, the Ming army has broken through the outpost and the outpost has fled!”
Everyone was furious. Before they could calm down, countless scouts galloped over.
"Report, countless Ming cavalrymen have charged into the front camp and are slaughtering wantonly.”
"Report, the left sentry post of the front camp has been broken down and the soldiers have fled.”
"Report, the enemy has set fire to the front line and the front line has fallen into chaos.”
“……”
The battle reports fell into Li Zicheng's hands like snowflakes. In a short period of time, the battle situation had actually deteriorated to such a state. The front line had actually fallen into complete chaos. Such a simple battle report made him tremble with fear.
Night battles had always been a huge test for the army. The pitch-black environment would make the soldiers feel a sense of fear and oppression in their hearts. As long as there was any movement, the troops would mutiny, not to mention killing at night.
But now, the enemy actually used cavalry to attack the camp at night?
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng shook his head and threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart. He frowned.
"What happened to the front line?"
He was worried that the chaos in the front line would cause a commotion and cause his troops to be lost for nothing.
The generals around him also exploded.
"It's so dark at night, and the Ming army actually attacked at night. Do they not want to live?”
"He's simply crazy. What if he kills his own people on such a dark night?”
"Who cares if he's crazy? We still have more than 100,000 people.”
"Your Majesty, quickly send someone to investigate the movements of the front army.”
“……”
When Li Zicheng heard this, he immediately stood up in anger and roared,
"What exactly is Grade One Gong for?”
However, the moment he spoke, Li Zicheng frowned. He looked at the pitch-black night outside, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes. It was all because of this damn night. Otherwise, the Ming army would not be so impudent.
A large portion of his army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers had severe night blindness. If they charged out in the middle of the night, it was very likely that there would be a mutiny.
However, before Li Zicheng could hesitate, another scout horse rushed in and cried,
"Report, report, General Gao was killed by the human army.”
"The front line is starting to become unstable."
Li Zicheng was instantly stunned on the spot. The rest of the people around him were so shocked by this news that they jumped up from the ground, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Dead? He was actually dead. Gao Yigong actually died!"
As Li Zicheng spoke, his expression suddenly changed as he rushed out of the tent. He rushed to the front of the scout horse and asked,
"What's the situation with the front line?"
Li Zicheng was more concerned about his frontline troops than his high achievements.
Li Zicheng's eyes instantly turned red. He took a step forward and pulled the scout horse in front of him. With a fierce gaze, he shouted,"Tell me?"
"The front line is in chaos. The Ming army killed everyone they saw. They couldn't stop them.”
"Ah, quick, quick, someone go and stabilize the front line.”
As soon as Li Zicheng finished speaking, the surrounding generals all stood up with red eyes. Their eyes were filled with killing intent. The residual drunkenness from before instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by gnashing teeth.
"I'll go and stabilize the front line."
"Damn, I still have to avenge Brother Gao.”
"Your Majesty, I'll go. Let me go."
"Your Majesty, I, Old Liu, will definitely be able to stabilize the front army.”
With these words, the tall Liu Zongmin stood up with red eyes. He was furious and his entire face was distorted. Another brother had died in Wang Cheng's hands. How could he accept this?
Moreover, as the number one general of the Great Shun Army, he had to stand out and turn the tide. Otherwise, if the Ming army were to be killed, tomorrow's siege plan would be affected.
Li Zicheng agreed without thinking."You, go quickly."
"Yes."
After saying that, Liu Zongmin turned around and walked out with a loud thud. With a shout, he led his bodyguards and rushed towards the front camp.
At the same time, Li Zicheng turned his head to look at the huge central camp that was like a monster lying dormant in the bonfire. He ordered the messenger beside him,""Beat the drum and order the central army to gather."
"Yes."
"Dong dong dong."
Accompanied by the urgent beating of the war drums, bonfires were lit one after another, stretching for seven to eight miles. The central camp that had been dormant just now instantly woke up, and countless Great Shun soldiers crawled out of the tents like ants coming out of their caves.
Seeing this, Li Zicheng's eyes narrowed and his heart relaxed. No matter what the situation was in the front line, as long as the middle line was not in chaos, everything was still under his control.
"Ming Army."
Li Zicheng said fiercely, his eyes filled with coldness…
