The impact of Liu Yongxi's news on the canal was as great as the collapse of the sky and the earth. Several leaders immediately gathered on the warship called the "Imperial Boat" to discuss matters.

Although Tong Yili is known for his "knowing the army", he suddenly panicked when he heard this news: "The bandit cavalry brigade is catching up with me? Should my uncle's horse team get on the boat and go south together?"

In Tong Yili's understanding, as long as Liu Yongxi's horse team gets on the ship, everything will be fine. Even though the thief Li Zicheng sent nearly a thousand horse teams to catch up, these horse teams could not fly to the ship.

Liu Yongxi shook his head and said to Queen Zhang: "Empress, since the thief's horse team has caught up with them all the way, they must fight with them!"

In another time and space, he had an extremely painful lesson for the horse team to raid the navy. At that time, three thousand elite soldiers of the Caojiang navy and thousands of relatives were trapped in Xiejia Bridge near Fushantang, Suzhou. The water was shallow and difficult to move. The only thing he relied on was the musket in the boat. But a heavy rain and the line of medicine was wet, and the firearms in the boat were all arranged.

At that time, Liu Yongxi was really anxious and could not think of any solution. As a result, the house was raining all night and directly hit the 18 cavalry of the Qing army, and the main force of the Qing army then arrived. The arrows were like rain of locusts. The whole army was in chaos and the casualties were shocking.

Liu Yongxi and several servants were unable to find it easy to find a bow and arrow to shoot against the Qing army, but there was no accurate point in the storm. Liu Yongxi could only watch one close relative and friend after another slumped in the rain of arrows and blood. The Caojiang Navy was hit by a devastating blow in front of him, and the history of Caojiang, the fourth generation of the Fourth Admiral of the Chengyi Bo Mansion, finally came to an end.

Although he has six boats in his hand now, even if Zhou Zhisheng's warship meets the elite team of the bandits, he dares to say that he can barely have the power to fight and shoot against the bandits for a few rounds. It goes without saying that the mobs on the other ships are all.

If you really encounter a sudden surprise attack by the thief team, it will definitely be in chaos, and it is very likely that you will collapse without fighting.

Zhao Zhijie immediately asked, "Is there any other way to avoid the thieves?"

Liu Yongxi was about to speak, but Queen Zhang had already said: "I have already said that all the use of troops and killing is entrusted to Xiaochengyi Bo. Since Xiaochengyi Bo said that he had to fight this bandit, there was naturally no choice. Xiaochengyi Bo, will I beat drums on the imperial boat to help the battle, or will I go ashore to wave the flag and charge with you?"

Queen Zhang said this, and Shi Chaoli was already anxious: "Holy Mother, your safety is related to the survival of the country. You must not be careless. This kind of fighting with swords and shadows is not only extremely dangerous, but also a sea of ​​corpses and blood everywhere. At that time, there may not even be a place to stand. If you have no eyes, you should avoid it!"

The little palace maid Jinran, who had been standing beside her, also advised: "Empress, I'm afraid there will be countless casualties and injuries. At that time, you can just entrust Xiaochengyi Bo to the military and conquest, and you don't have to come to the battlefield in person!"

Although Queen Zhang has read a lot of history books, she has never seen much blood. When she heard Shi Chaoli and the little palace maid Jinran talk about the tragic scene in front of the battle, she naturally frightened her, and she couldn't help but feel endless fear in her heart.

But she still insisted on her opinion: "Now, there is no need to discuss this matter. I have decided. Xiao Chengyi Bo, do you think it is better for me to wave the flag and charge with you or beat the drums in the imperial boat?"

Empress Zhang's support was completely beyond Liu Yongxi's expectations, but it also made Liu Yongxi feel astonishingly stressed.

The reason why he insisted on fighting with this bandit was naturally because of his biggest weakness in his force.

After all, this force was pieced together temporarily. Although it was well equipped and had enough food and salary, and there were even many veterans and outlaws, the team of the turf was the team of the turf, and it could be described as the current situation of this force.

Everyone is a frightened bird, and may collapse due to wind and chaos at any time. To avoid this, a brilliant victory must be achieved.

Although Liu Yongxi and Taikang Hou both used the word "Southern Ferry" to embellish the entire fleet's southward movement, the result of escaping war along the southward can only be an increasingly serious mentality of fear and avoiding war.

Although Liu Yongxi tried every means to inspire his strength, when core figures like Tong Yili and Zhao Zhijie heard that the bandits and horse team caught up, the first thing they thought of was how to escape and avoid war, not to mention the ordinary soldiers below. The more they avoided the war, the more they feared the war, the more they would take the initiative and launch unexpected raids.

In this case, it is very likely that when the bandits launched a raid or even appeared in the sight of the whole army, the morale of the entire army collapsed directly. To avoid such a situation of self-defeat, one victory must be used to unite people. The bandits cavalry chasing from the north are the best touchstone of the force in their hands.

He immediately said clearly: "When the time comes, please ask the Empress to supervise the battle in the imperial boat. Please rest assured that if the empress is ineffective, please help me to die in everything. As long as the war is not good, please ask Lord Tong and General Fu Ding to escort the Empress away immediately!"

Zhang Yan's face turned pale. Although her hand couldn't help but hold the handrail, she still made up her mind: "Since Xiao Chengyi Bo said that, I am determined to wave the flag with the soldiers to stop the idea of ​​secret life!"

Liu Yongxi immediately made a promise to Zhang Yan: "The Virgin Mary will also ask for a drum beat on the Imperial Boat to supervise the battle! Although this bandit team must face head-on, moving forward side by land can ensure a stable victory. At that time, the Empress will only lay a chance of victory when she beats on the Imperial Boat to supervise the battle! "

Zhang Yan was very satisfied with Liu Yongxi's answer: "It seems that Xiao Chengyi Bo has already thought of a surprise victory. I hope that at that time I will beat drums in the imperial boat as Xiao Chengyi Bo means!"

She really felt that this little sincerity man should have considered everything. With Liu Yongxi in charge of military conquest, she just needed to beat drums on the imperial boat to supervise the battle.

For Chang Yichen, he never expected that this fleet of Zhenyi Bo Mansion could run so well that the simple tasks assigned by General Quan Liu Zongmin became so difficult.

Strictly speaking, the key issue is not because of how good the fleet of Chengyi Bo Mansion is to run, nor is that the entire canal is full of merchant ships, canal ships, and even small fishing boats under the banner of Chengyi Bo Mansion.

The biggest problem is that his subordinates are limited in strength. Although this cavalry is the elite among the cavalry of the King of Chuang, and its history can even be traced back to the 13th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng went out of Shangluo Mountain again, the problem is that this cavalry has only a total of fifty cavalry, and most of the cavalry joined the King of Chuang in the 16th year of Chongzhen. It can only be regarded as a strong team of Li Zicheng's cavalry.

It is precisely because of his limited strength that Chang Yichen did not dare to take the banner of Li Zicheng, the King of Breaking, so as not to attract large-scale encirclement and suppression from the official army, but instead took the banner of the remaining troops of Li Qingshan, Liangshan.
