It is said that Liu Zeqing's subordinate general Yuan Zhongxing led the main force of men and horses to move slowly, just arrived at the boundary of Zhaozhou and had to order a hurry, the officers and soldiers below suddenly mourned, in order to make merit, they went from the west of Hejian City to the encirclement and ran for a hundred miles, but they heard that the thieves went to Zhending Mansion and were about to go, the little eunuch ordered him to chase the thief south, and finally arrived at the ground when he was exhausted in the early morning.

The cavalry is good, who can bear this infantry who can stand the continuous march for hundreds of miles, and now let the rapid march ...... Suddenly, some people were reluctant and began to shout and complain, and some even fell directly to the side of the road and fell asleep.

Yuan Zhongxing was in a dilemma, there were orders from above that could not be violated, but the soldiers under his command were tired, and they were unwilling to leave with complaints.

Liu Zeqing was furious after receiving the news, and wanted to order punishment, but then thought that in fact, the officers and soldiers under his command were indeed exhausted, and if they were forced to be anxious, the morale of the army would be unstable, and it would be useless for the tired soldiers to catch up, so he endured it, and only let people pass the order and promise to go to Zhaozhou City to rest.

I already had a fire in my heart, and when I saw Li Yan leisurely, I was even more angry when I let Tian Xiong be the guide to wander around the city, and I slammed the door into the room and fell asleep.

Liu Zeqing didn't realize at this time how he was originally an old slippery head suddenly became so active, the so-called point will not be as good as the radical general, this is the cleverness of the little eunuch and Li Yan, Liu Zeqing watched the breeze on his sleeves for half a month without making some work, not to mention that at this time, Li Zicheng fled in the wilderness, and the other friendly troops were weak, such a good opportunity Chang Yu will bite the hook as long as he throws the bait!

Li Zicheng, who fled south in a hurry, may not have dreamed that at this time, only some scouts were chasing him behind, and the officers and soldiers were bigwigs, either shopping or sleeping, and there were a group of unhurried and unhurried followers from afar.

This is Chang Yu, led the army to cross the river and slowly traveled dozens of miles to Luancheng, ordered to rest, Luancheng has been destroyed by the thief army, several abandoned cities, Chang Yu entered the city after seeing few people, in order to avoid making matters worse, the army was not allowed to enter outside the city.

The former equation sent someone to report that he led Teng Xiangwei to chase the junction of Luancheng and Gaoyi, and the thief army had a group of people and horses behind the palace to block the way with nearly 10,000 homeless people, asking if they wanted to do it.

Chang Yu looked up at the sky, it was almost dusk, and said, do it when it's dark, chase after the thief for a while and then slow down, the herald left, Huang Degong raised his eyebrows, and the overseer calculated that Teng Xiangwei would definitely be able to defeat the enemy?

Chang Yu glanced at him, it is a shame that you have also led them to suppress bandits, how can you also fight the most capable of fighting in the guards, at this time it is not what it used to be, the thief army is not more than 10,000 people, and the enemy's cavalry is impacted.

"In other words, that tail is actually cannon fodder, vulnerable!" Huang Degong suddenly realized, it seems that the thief army is still too cumbersome......

The thief army is not too cumbersome, but the use of the homeless people to resist the enemy is a trick to eat all over the world, a hundred tried, now the chasing soldiers are following, in order to cover the main force to the south, the commander in charge of the palace Zhang Nai ordered Liu Guochang to lead 5,000 troops to coerce more than 10,000 homeless people at the end of the team.

Liu Guochang had been following Li Zicheng to the south, and when he crossed the river and crossed Jinzhou the day before yesterday, he was ordered by the thief to go to Zhending Mansion City to attack Huang Degong's defense line, and helped Liu Fangliang, Luo Hu and others cross the river and make miraculous achievements.

He only has 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, but his combat strength is not weak, and at this time he is surrounded by nearly 10,000 displaced people, and he hears that the chasing soldiers in the rear are not more than 10,000, although they are cavalry, they are not afraid, after all, more than ten miles in front of him is the tens of thousands of troops of Zhang Nai and others, and the officers and soldiers dare to chase and not dare to bite.

Sure enough, this army of officers and soldiers has been following from Luancheng for dozens of miles, seeing that it is dark and about to enter Gaoyi County, they have no intention of making a move, and all the thieves are relieved, thinking that the officers and soldiers are too tired, and the reinforcements are not in time and dare not work hard.

It was dark to set up camp to rest, and Liu Guochang used the homeless people as his armor outside the camp, in case the officers and soldiers attacked the camp and had to pass through the homeless pass, so he had time to prepare for it.

How do you know that as soon as the military order was issued here, he suddenly heard the sound of killing in the distance, and the spy urgently reported: "The officers and soldiers have been killed" Liu Guochang kicked the spy away in shock: "Such a big movement still requires you to report a p" and then ordered his subordinates to face the battle.

Teng Xiangwei, the 26th personal guard of the Ming Emperor is the most brave and good at fighting, the officers and soldiers are burly and well-knighted, taking advantage of the sky to sweep the cavalry like the wind and clouds, unstoppable.

Although the displaced people let Teng Xiaowei's offensive stall and gave Liu Guochang time to react, but the incident happened suddenly, and it was dark and the army was panicked, and he had no intention of fighting.

After Wu Ruyi heard the report a few miles ahead, he hurriedly sent troops to help, but he almost scattered his men and horses when he met the rout, but fortunately, Wang Genzi, who was camped a few miles away from each other in the east, also sent reinforcements to help, to see how to block the rout, and when he was about to fight with the officers and soldiers, Teng Xiangwei made a whistle and withdrew!

When he came, he was overwhelmed, and he went to the arrows, which suddenly made the thieves dumbfounded, and after Zhang Nai heard the report, he scolded loudly, knowing that the officers and soldiers were attacking the heart first, so that the thieves were always panicked and disturbed, and the morale of the army was disturbed.

At the same time, Li Zicheng's main force had crossed Bai Township and entered the northernmost boundary of Yao County in Shunde Prefecture, the sky was dark, and the soldiers and horses were tired, so they ordered to make a fire at the foot of Maoshan Mountain to make food and rest before leaving.

Maoshan is actually just a small dirt bag, no more than ten meters high, Li Zicheng climbed to the top of the peak and looked north at the distance in the dark and no lights, his heart was a little at ease, and he looked south to see the sky where there was a little fire, knowing that it was Li Guo, Liu Fangliang and other pioneers.

Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Luo Hu led more than 10,000 men and horses to the south to clear the way for Li Zicheng to clear the obstacles, this force is the elite of the thief army, all the way to the murderous spirit, when it was dark has been to the city of Yaoxian, but saw the city gate open, sent people into the city to find empty.

After the three of them and Song Xiance summed up, they decided to divide the troops into two routes, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang and Song Xiance led 10,000 troops to the southwest to march south through Neiqiu and go south to Fucheng to feint to attract the attention of officers and soldiers, while Luo Hu led the Zhenshan battalion south to sweep Ren County to cover the main force crossing the border and rush out of the defense line.

Everything went according to the original plan, the thief army had already discovered that the main force of the officers and soldiers was in Shunde Fucheng, and there was also a garrison in Ren County, so it was obvious that the defense line of the officers and soldiers was set up in this area, and it was only necessary to block its main force in the city, and the rest of the troops were not to be afraid.

Gao Jie has been restless for the past two days, not afraid but a little nervous and excited about the enemy, knowing that Li Zicheng will inevitably break through with all his strength, this is a tough battle, and he is worried that this trick will slip away quietly, and the consequences will be very serious, not only lose face, but also be punished by the court.

Therefore, after reporting the news that Li Zicheng went south quickly and sent the vanguard to open the way, he made a response deployment, and after discussing with his subordinates, he felt that the city was southwest, and Li Zicheng would not be willing to go around this side if he went south, but Ren County was the first to bear the brunt, and the thief army was very likely to cross the border from Ren County to the south or bypass from the east.

Therefore, Gao Jie decided to transfer all his troops to Ren County to intercept them, but he was a little worried in his heart, and Li Zicheng, who could see it, could naturally see that he had so many old fritters under his command, all of them were cunning and cunning, and he expected that he would transfer troops to block head-on, but he deliberately went the opposite way and went around the southwest to pass through the city, wouldn't he be exploited by it.

When he was hesitating, he reported that the vanguard of the thief army was divided into two roads, more than 10,000 in the west and thousands in the east.

The subordinates were puzzled, the thief army's army on the west road obviously came to Fucheng City, why did he want to transfer the soldiers, Gao Jie smiled: "This will play all the truth and fiction, in fact, Lao Tzu can't guess whether he will go east or west, but Lao Tzu is afraid that he will surround me in the city and can't move, so I have to go out first and then watch the situation."

The generals smiled bitterly, and the psychology of the chief soldier was not scored, this is a bet on the size of the book.

In the dark night, Gao Jie looked north of the city, and it was pitch black as far as his eyes could see, yes, he was betting on the treasure, and he had calculated in his heart, if the thief army took the east road, it would be a big battle head-on, and it would be okay if he took the west road, and he could intercept it if he quickly transferred troops to the remote mountains.

"Li Zicheng, many years of grievances, it's a war." Gao Jie sneered, and the soldiers around him suddenly felt gloomy.
