Chapter 332 The house leak happened to rain overnight

At the beginning, Zheng Guosong's men and horses could still maintain a compact formation, and everyone looked after each other. However, as they went deeper into the mountains and forests, everyone had different thoughts, and some generals and colonels felt that they were chasing other places with their men and horses in order to grab merit. In fact, if it is dispersed, there may not be anything wrong, after all, the number of soldiers and horses under Zheng Guosong's command occupies an absolute advantage, but Zheng Guosong chases deeper because of the fire in his belly, and this time it will be a big trouble.

Zheng Guosong was dressed in black armor, and his outfit was completely different from that of ordinary peasant soldiers, and he could distinguish it at a glance. Gradually, all the officers and soldiers around knew that there was an enemy general here, so they gathered in groups near Zheng Guosong. Zheng Guosong's side obviously has an absolute advantage, but his own side has a thin army, so he let the officers and soldiers surround him.

"Damn, stop, retreat quickly, send a signal, let those rabbit cubs get back quickly......" Zheng Guosong is really anxious, if he is trapped, then his life will be thrown on Dasu Mountain. But Zheng Guosong didn't want to think about it, and rushed forward with his soldiers and horses, and the people under his command didn't follow suit? If you really want to blame, then you have to blame Zheng Guosong for being too anxious.

When the officers and soldiers learned that Zheng Guosong was trapped, it was a great morale boost, and they didn't care about the situation in other places at all, and concentrated their forces to gather nearby, which had the intention of destroying Zheng Guosong at all costs. On Dasu Mountain, a strange picture appeared. On the east and west sides, the peasant army chased the officers and soldiers everywhere, but in the dense forest near the ridge in the middle, Zheng Guosong was besieged by a large number of officers and soldiers, and the situation was quite difficult.

This chaotic battle was confusing, and after fighting for a long time, Zheng Guosong failed to rush out, and he was shot in the shoulder by an arrow flying from the shadows. Taking advantage of the opportunity to breathe, he leaned under the big tree, his eyes squinted, and his expression was extremely lonely. I didn't expect that he Zheng Guosong crisscrossed the north and south, and he was also a man, and in the end he would die aggrievedly on Dasu Mountain, which was really unwilling.

If you are defeated and killed, you have nothing to say, but you can clearly have an advantage, because of an oversight, you are in trouble. This situation can be easily avoided, and you will die unjustly. Soon, the excited roars of officers and soldiers sounded in the distance, "In front is Zheng Guosong, there is always an order, whoever kills Zheng Guosong will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, brothers...... Kill......"

Zheng Guo stood up suddenly, his eyes spewing fire. Mother, Lao Tzu is a dignified seven-foot man, is worth a thousand taels of silver? He hastily bandaged the wound, and shouted to the people around him with a knife: "Brothers, hold on a little longer, and wait for the brothers outside to come to help, that is, when we counterattack, kill all these official dogs." ”

Although Zheng Guosong has been puffing up, the current situation is understandable to everyone, so the effect is very small. After fighting for an hour, there were less than 20 people around Zheng Guosuo, and at this time, the peasant army on the periphery had already found that the situation was wrong, and rushed in desperately, but they were all blocked by officers and soldiers. In order to block the onslaught of the peasant army, the officers and soldiers also paid a heavy price, but as long as they could kill Zheng Guosong, they would not lose this battle.

At this time, no one rushed in, and Zheng Guosong was a little desperate. The steel knife was pestled on the ground, and blood flowed from the open wound again, and after a few gasps of breath, he looked up. The overhead branches are luxuriant, the sun shines in through the analysis, and the wind, coming from some direction, blows on both sides.

Woo woo, just when Zheng Guosong was on the verge of despair, suddenly a strange sound sounded from behind the officers and soldiers, followed by the chaotic sound of fighting, and the frightened angry scolding of the officers and soldiers. It seems that a surprise attack was launched against the officers and soldiers from the south, causing a great disarray in the line of defense of the officers and soldiers.

Since Zheng Guosong came from the north, the officers and soldiers had been focusing their defensive attention on the north of Dasu Mountain, and they did not think that something would go wrong in the rear. A force of soldiers and horses rushed up from the southern mountain road, and under the defenselessness, the rear was in chaos.

Zheng Guosong is not a fool, at this time, don't care who helps, let's call out first. The officers and soldiers were too busy to take care of themselves for a while, and they let Zheng Guosong, the remnant of the army, escape. After joining up with the team, Zheng Guosong, who was full of anger, immediately turned around and attacked. Zheng Guosong strictly ordered all departments to cooperate with each other and not to leave without permission, so that the peasant army that concentrated its forces would be beaten by the officers and men. Now that the trap is almost useless, the attack tactics are useless, and the officers and soldiers were driven out of Dasu Mountain by Zheng Guosong in one fell swoop.

After laying down Dasu Mountain, Zheng Guosong breathed a sigh of relief. Although it is already a little past the stipulated day, it is also a great achievement to take down Dasu Mountain. When the news reached the camp of Gushi City, Li Zicheng's face was overjoyed, so he ordered all the troops to assemble and march towards Dasu Mountain. At the same time, the main army of Gao Yingxiang, stationed in Xi County, also began to cross the Bai Xuan River, along the road opened by Wang Yan, and approached Gushi City.

By this time, the battle situation in Runing Mansion was already very clear. The army of Nanzhili held Gushi City and Mall, but the peasant army made a surprise move and occupied the Dasu Mountain between Gushi City and Mall.

However, at this time, Nangong Sen, the garrison of Jiangzhou, and Li Zicheng, the peasant army, were plagued by the same problem, and the soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared in the south of Dasu Mountain disappeared. From beginning to end, I didn't know where this army came from or what its purpose was. Li Zicheng has already checked with Gao Yingxiang, since the beginning of the Battle of Gushicheng, Gao Yingxiang has not sent troops and horses to Dasu Mountain, so the question arises, why did this army help Zheng Guosong? Friend or foe?

Before figuring out the situation of this army, Li Zicheng didn't want to take further action, but Gao Yingxiang didn't think so. Now that the Great Su Mountain has been laid, the main army has also crossed the Bai Su River, posing a threat to Gushi City and the mall. The army has all poured into the southeast of Runing Mansion, and at this time, the next things must be done, and if you don't do it, you have to do it.

Li Zicheng was always a little worried, so after throwing the affairs of the military to Lu Weiliang, he took his relatives to the camp near the Bai Du River. When he walked into the big tent, he saw Gao Yingxiang discussing some things with Niu Jinxing and others. Seeing Li Zicheng's arrival, Gao Yingxiang was not surprised, beckoned and said, "Since you are here, tell me your opinion." I have just discussed with Mr. Niu, and I plan to immediately go out of Dasu Mountain. ”

Li Zicheng couldn't help frowning, and the departure of the troops from Dasu Mountain meant entering Nanzhili. The area south of the Yangtze River is the heart and liver of the imperial court, and moving Jiangnan will inevitably cause a strong counterattack from the imperial court. At least Li Zicheng felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry, and it might not be a good thing to rush into Nanzhili before he was fully prepared. What's more, there is a mysterious soldier and horse that has disappeared, disturbing people's hearts.

Li Zicheng knew Gao Yingxiang's temperament, and did not oppose it explicitly, but wondered: "Is it a little too anxious?" We have just laid down Dasu Mountain, are we waiting for the solid city and mall to be laid before making the next step? The officers and soldiers of Gushi City and the mall are a hidden danger after all. ”

Gao Yingxiang frowned, his fingers tapped the desktop, and said with a helpless smile: "Gushi City and the mall have not been taken down, it is really a bit dangerous, but it is really helpless to rush to send troops." I just got the news that the Living Yama King has withdrawn his troops from Funiu Mountain, and Sun Chuanting, Qin Liangyu and Zhao Shujiao, who had been entrenched in Xiangyang Mansion and could not advance an inch, have also joined forces and entered Nanyang Mansion through Zhushan. ”

"Huh?" Li Zicheng was surprised, when he came, he didn't expect so many changes, "The Living Yama King withdrew his troops so quickly? What the hell is he doing? Zhang Xianzhong or Wang Ziyong, what went wrong? ”

Niu Jinxing explained to Li Zicheng in a timely manner: "That's not it, although Zhang Xianzhong's strength is weaker, but relying on the terrain of Funiu Mountain, it is not so easy for officers and soldiers to defeat him in a short time." The main reason is that the officers and soldiers took the initiative to withdraw, and according to the news that Li Yangchun came back, the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu began to pull out the camp, and it seemed that they wanted to leave Baofeng City. ”

"Don't fight Baofeng City?" Li Zicheng was a little confused, in his opinion, these actions were really stupid, and some people couldn't understand it. Now that the main army has entered Runing Mansion, it is a great opportunity to fight Baofeng City and hit Li Yangchun hard. At this time, to fight Baofeng City, with the combat power of the Xuanfu border army, he will definitely be able to get a great credit. The border army was determined to fight Baofeng City, and with the strength of Li Yangchun's department, they could only abandon Baofeng in the end.

Coupled with Zhao Shujiao, Qin Liangyu and others to help the boxer, the living Hades King is almost a sure winner. It's a good time, and the living Hades won't fight? Li Zicheng has always felt that he is a very capable person, but he really can't figure out the living Hades at all.

However, at this time, Li Zicheng somewhat understood why Gao Yingxiang was in a hurry to go out of Dasu Mountain. If you don't solve the problem of Runing Mansion early, once the Living Yama King gets involved, it will be a big trouble.

"General Li, I still want to focus on you this time, and the general can make a group of soldiers and horses out of the southeast of Dasu Mountain to make a posture of attacking Luzhou Mansion. At that time, depending on the reaction of the officers and soldiers, if the officers and soldiers of Mall and Gushicheng do not move, then you should not hesitate to directly pour into Luzhou Mansion with a large army, and strive to occupy Huoshan as quickly as possible and approach Shucheng. ”

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no big problem, Li Zicheng nodded and responded: "Yes, hey, I hope the officers and soldiers can react, if Gushi City and the mall have been held in the hands of the officers and soldiers, it will be a big threat to us after all." ”

Li Zicheng didn't stay long, discussed with Gao Yingxiang, and quickly returned to Dasu Mountain. Returning to Dasu Mountain, Li Zicheng issued a series of orders, and tens of thousands of troops quickly moved, first Lu Weiliang led his troops to attack Jingangtai Mountain, and then Zheng Guosong came out of Dasu Mountain with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and attacked the Dabie Mountain Guard with lightning speed.

Dabie Mountain Guard is located in the southwest corner of Fengyang Mansion, close to Luzhou Mansion. After taking the Dabie Mountain Guard, Zheng Guosong went all the way south, and was almost undecently unhindered. In just two days, Zheng Guosong's vanguard soldiers and horses passed all the way to Huoshan City. Huoshan, also known as Tianzhu Mountain, Huoshan County is named after Huoshan, but Huoshan City is more than 30 miles away from Huoshan, that is to say, Huoshan City is not dangerous to defend at all.

Zheng Guosong went all the way south from Dabie Mountain, he came to Huoshan City, and when he came to the city at this time, he naturally did not hesitate a little, and after resting for less than two hours, he sent more than 3,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on Huoshan City. For a time, Huoshan City was in turmoil, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were full of complaints, and the documents asking for help were constantly flying to Hefei City, the capital of Luzhou.

Ke Minxing, the prefect of Luzhou, trembled and asked for help, and he couldn't do anything other than send a miscellaneous army of more than 1,000 people. It's not that Ke Minxing doesn't want to rush to the aid of Huoshan City, but he really has no troops in his hands.

Luzhou Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, and for a long time, the defense has been under the Beijing camp of Nanzhili, and there are not many local soldiers and horses. A few days ago, in order to keep the Liukou out of Nanzhili, the Nanjing Military Department and the Nanzhili Command Department mobilized soldiers and horses from the western state capital, and all of them poured into Runing Mansion to garrison. The intention above is good, to keep the enemy out of the door, but now that the rogue has broken through Runing Mansion and entered the territory of Luzhou Mansion, there is no way to do it. The local soldiers and horses are almost empty, what can they do to resist the rogues? The thousands of miscellaneous soldiers under his hands still made it up.

The officials of Luzhou Mansion gathered together, and the prefect Ke Minxing hurriedly went around, "Is there any news from Nanjing?" ”

A clerk hurriedly got up and said: "Yes, I just got the news that the Governor's Mansion has been reorganized for battle, and the three battalions of Zhenjiang will arrive in Luzhou Mansion in two days!" ”

"What?" Ke Minxing's beard fluttered, and his eyes were about to pop out, "Two days? Did they crawl over? What did Huoshan City take to defend it for two days, did they have to wait until the Liukou hit the root of the Luzhou city wall before they were willing to show up? ”

Mo said that Ke Minxing was the other officials of the Luzhou Mansion, and at this time, he was also full of resentment from the Tianfu side. As I said before, mobilize troops and horses from various western provinces to enter Runing Mansion to defend against the enemy. If there is danger, Jingying will help in time. I said it well before, but now that Liukou is really here, he is doing things one by one, dragging mud and water.

Due to the sluggish reaction of the Jingying camp in Nanzhili, Huoshancheng soon fell into the hands of the peasant army. With a posture of victory, Zheng Guosong hit Shucheng in one go, and the Luzhou Mansion really couldn't sit still.

At the same time, some changes have also taken place in Runing Province. There was a huge disagreement within Gushi City and the Mall Guards, many of the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili were from Luzhou Mansion and Ningguo Mansion, and now that the Liukou had crossed Runing Mansion, they had no heart to defend the city.

Sometimes it is really a disaster, and the house leak coincides with overnight rain. Just when there was a disagreement within the defenders, the hidden dangers that Gushi City had been hiding gradually emerged, as Gao Yingxiang's army approached Gushi City, the hope of holding Gushi City became smaller and smaller, in this case, some people's minds became active.

On the seventh day of October in the third year of Chongzhen, Qi Weiyu, the head of Gushi City, suddenly led the crowd to mutiniate and attacked the south gate of Gushi City.

Wang Yan, who had already received the news, led his soldiers and horses to pour into Gushi City from the south gate. Although Yue Zicong led the crowd to defend against the enemy, there was chaos in the city, and in the end he could only withdraw from Gushi City with the remnants of the army.

The next day, Gushi City all fell into the hands of Gao Yingxiang.
