Chapter 150 Northern Shaanxi Shock

Seeing that the kingdom was about to be captured, at this time, there was a chaotic sound from the rear, and after Li Guoqi killed and repelled the two rebels, he shouted urgently: "General Wang, withdraw quickly, the chaotic party in Ansai City has been killed.....

"What?" The kingdom turned his head and glared at Li Zicheng, "Li Zicheng, you are really a wolf with ambition, and you actually communicated with the chaotic party in advance." ”

"General Wang, don't blame Li, if Li doesn't rely on it, he won't dare to blatantly raise troops....."

"You...... Bastard, I was really blind at the beginning, why didn't I see that you were actually a brute, there are a lot of robes here that you used to have....."

"The Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other!" Li Zicheng's expression was cold, and his gaze was extremely determined.

Looking at Li Zicheng in front of him, the kingdom wanted to kill the other party directly, but for the sake of the lives of his brothers, he had to order a retreat.

This night, Li Zicheng personally made bait to attract the attention of Wang Guo and others, while Li Yangchun sent Hua Xiaorong and Blue Dao to make a detour from both sides and secretly cut off the way for the northern Shaanxi border army to retreat north. Therefore, when Wang Guo and the others found out that the situation was not good, they were already under siege.

In the chaotic battle at night, the northern Shaanxi border army was quickly dispersed, and in desperation, they began to organize their own troops and horses to break through.

When the first light of dawn pierced through the clouds and dawn covered the land, we knew how miserable the battle had been that night.

On this night, the border army in northern Shaanxi suffered heavy losses, the town was red with blood, and corpses were everywhere, extending more than ten miles to the north. The general kingdom broke through with the guerrilla general Li Xianzong, but at dawn, he was still besieged by a large number of rebels on Gaobai Mountain south of Bailuo City.

Gaobai Mountain is less than thirty miles away from Bailuo City, as long as you return to Bailuo City, it will be safe, but this short thirty miles of road has become an impossible way back.

Gaobai Mountain is just a small hill, there is no dense forest, and there are not too many dangers. Now there are only more than 400 remnants around him, and at this time, the border troops of northern Shaanxi are too busy to take care of themselves, and it is impossible for reinforcements to come to Gaobai Mountain in a short time.

Sitting on the cold stone face and looking at the bare hills, the kingdom smiled miserably and suddenly despaired.

Rong Ma has been pursuing fame for half his life, but in the end it is empty. It never occurred to him that his kingdom would die at the hands of the Tatars, but on this mountain of Gobai.

Li Xianzong's left arm was hanging, and there were several scars on his face, and his condition was even more embarrassing than that of the kingdom. Looking at the situation down the mountain, Li Xianzong let go of the knife in his hand and lay down on the dry grass next to him.

"General Wang, we don't have a chance, the chaotic party won't let us go, a general, a guerrilla general...... Hehe....."

Li Xianzong's smile was extremely bitter, and his laughter was like a sharp blade, piercing the heart of the kingdom.

"General Li, no matter what choice you make, Wang will not blame you. But Wang, it will never fall......"

The kingdom put the iron halberd on the ground and slowly stood up. His kingdom may not be a competent general, some greedy for money, and have deducted military salaries, but he will never surrender to the rebellious party, this is the last dignity of his kingdom.

Not for the court, just for the family. If you die in battle, your family will have a pension, and you can also enjoy the name of bravery. But if it surrenders, the ancestors will be humiliated, and the family will be liquidated by the imperial court.

Seeing the kingdom's expression, Li Xianzong shook his head with a wry smile, "Choice? General Wang, do you think Li still has a choice? On the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, how many generals are afraid of death? Today's situation is only to die in battle...... It's just that the eldest husband can't die in the desert grassland, but he dies here, and he is a little unwilling......"

As he spoke, there were already bursts of shouting and killing at the foot of the mountain, and a large number of chaotic parties flooded the small Gaobai Mountain like a tide.

In this crowd, the figures of Wang Guo and Li Xianzong seem so fragile.

On February 23 of the second year of Chongzhen, a bad news spread all over Shaanxi again, shaking the imperial court.

Under the urging of the imperial court, the border armies of Ningxia, Gansu and Suide attacked Ansai City unsuccessfully, and at night the general Li Zicheng united several generals and team leaders, and suddenly rebelled. The rebels united with the Ansai City Rebellion Party and broke the officers and soldiers in Anding Town.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the border army lost more than half of its soldiers and horses, and the rebel party besieged Gaobai Mountain, annihilating all the officers and soldiers on the mountain, and Li Xianzong, a general of Gansu and Suide, was killed in battle.

This incident was like a blow to the head, and it struck the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi hard. The imperial court gathered forces and wanted to make a breakthrough, but the chaotic party found an opportunity and was defeated.

In particular, the matter of the kingdom and Li Xianzong brought a heavy blow to the morale of soldiers and horses from all walks of life.

Before the imperial court order was issued, the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Xuanfu, who were in charge of attacking Ganquan, quickly withdrew to Mizhi City. Wu Guofu and Liu Yingyu, who originally planned to gather troops and horses to exterminate King Daliang of Shangluo Dao in one fell swoop, also temporarily stopped their pace.

In contrast, the morale of the rebellious party was greatly boosted, and Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang joined forces to launch a fierce attack on Xi'an, the ancient imperial capital of several dynasties, which suffered a heavy military disaster.

Fortunately, the high walls of Xi'an Mansion were thick, and the chaotic party lacked siege weapons, and after a day of storming, they could not stand on the cheap.

......

The Forbidden City Jinluan Palace, today's hall is silent. The ministers who used to scramble to discuss state affairs are all shrinking their necks today.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon chair with a cold face, staring at the ministers in the hall, at this moment, he really wanted to scold a few words. These people are very capable on weekdays, but once they encounter something, none of them dare to take responsibility.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that northern Shaanxi has been defeated, the morale of the chaotic party has been greatly boosted, and Xi'an Mansion is besieged, what should I do now?"

In fact, Zhu Youzhen already had an idea in his heart, but he still wanted to see how the ministers reacted.

As a result, he was very disappointed, Qian Qianyi and others said some words, but they were all useless nonsense. In the end, the ball was kicked back again.

In fact, Qian Qianyi and others did not have an idea in their hearts, but Shui Ye was unwilling to say it. Now Shaanxi is a big fire pit, whoever is in charge of Shaanxi is the life of the black pot, this kind of thankless thing, a fool will do it.

In fact, there is never a shortage of fools in this world, and Yang He is one of them.

After the defeat in northern Shaanxi, Chongzhen made a new decision, he thought that the reason why the situation in Shaanxi was not good was because there was no one to preside over the overall situation, so Chongzhen thought of Yang He.

A holy decree ordered Yang He, the governor of Shaanxi, to be the governor of the three sides, to lead all important military and political affairs in Shaanxi, and to coordinate the jurisdiction of all soldiers and horses in Shaanxi.

This is obviously a hot potato, if it were a different person, he would have returned to the court or resigned and returned to his hometown due to illness, but Yang He really took over this errand.

Not to mention the soldiers and horses of the Shaanxi headquarters, just to talk about the border armies of all roads, they are all the elite of the nine sides, and the baby bumps under the command of the general soldiers, how can these border army generals really listen to Yang He's dispatch?

Few of the nine-sided generals would really take the holy decree seriously, but Yang He really took it seriously.
