The Green Battalion soldiers scattered and fled with little resistance, and most of those who did not escape were killed in the camp, leaving only a few prisoners.

Liu Fangliang tortured dozens of prisoners, and the results were all the same, Azige, Wu Sangui, and Shang Kexi had already led the main force to the back mountain.

For a moment, Liu Fangliang felt that he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.

"The main forces of the Tartars have gone to the back mountain, Your Majesty, they are in danger."

Zuo Guangxian still maintained his basic composure, and paused for a moment and said, "Brother Liu, now we should immediately lead our troops back to Houshan to join Your Majesty." ”

Liu Fangliang also nodded and said, "Yes, more people will share more strength, let's go!" ”

...

...

Back Mountain.

When Li Zicheng led his troops down the mountain, he encountered the main force of the Qing army led by Azig.

Fighting broke out immediately.

Azig ordered the original Guanning army led by Wu Sangui to be the vanguard to charge, and then sent the Tianzhu army under the command of Shang Kexi to follow.

Li Zicheng hurriedly responded to the battle and sent Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and other generals to block the Qing army's offensive.

Of course, Li Zicheng wanted to run, but now he was entangled by the Qing army, and he couldn't run if he wanted to.

The only thing he could do was to use a few generals to block as much as possible, so that the main force could widen the distance between it and the Qing army, and prepare for escape.

You can't fight it, and it's impossible to surrender, so you can only survive by escaping.

Azig, who was riding on a tall horse, was excited.

The mountains are not as good as the plains, and Li Zicheng can't run fast even if he wants to escape. As long as the Qing army sticks to it, it can slowly swallow them all into their stomachs, and there are not even bones left.

This time, Azig will definitely not let Li Zicheng go again, he will personally escort this thief to Beijing Lingchi to be executed!

However, it is said that the fierce killing of the two armies is abnormal, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun's troops are very capable of fighting in the Shun army, not to mention Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have come from a sea of corpses and blood.

Wu Sangui was anxious to make meritorious service and sent the main force to charge.

It was Yuan Zongdi who was responsible for dealing with Wu Sangui. At first, he was barely able to parry. But the more he hit, the more he felt that his strength was insufficient, and the front slowly moved back.

Li Zicheng, who had been observing from the rear, saw that something was wrong, so he sent Hao Shaoqi to lead his troops to reinforce.

Hao Shaoqi was very reluctant when he heard this order, and even had some quarrels with Li Zicheng.

His complaints are not unfounded.

Hao Shaoqi has always been not Li Zicheng's descendant, and Hao Shaoqi was not around when Li Zicheng was lurking in Shangluo. So later, Li Zicheng conquered Beijing and gave a knighthood to his subordinates, the marquis of the marquis, and the uncle of the uncle, but there was no Hao Shaoqi.

This made Hao Shaoqi very unhappy.

But at that time, after all, Li Zicheng had won the country, and he was not good at attacking, so he swallowed his anger.

Now the situation is completely different, Li Zicheng not only lost Beizhili and Henan, but also Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Even the last piece of territory Huguang could not be saved, and was chased and killed by the Qing army all the way like a lost dog.

Under such circumstances, Li Zicheng even dared to dictate and give orders to Hao Shaoqi with the attitude of Emperor Dashun.

Who gave him courage?

Hao Shaoqi has secretly made up his mind to break up when he leaves Jiugong Mountain!

Hao Shaoqi's army had always maintained a considerable degree of independence, and his subordinates were far more loyal to him than to Li Zicheng.

It was Hao Shaoqi who was very confident that as long as he gave an order, he would be able to pull away all the soldiers under his command.

In these years, if there is a soldier in his hand, he is the king of grass, and he will occupy a mountain and drink a lot of meat and eat meat, and he will rob him if he has no money and no woman, and he is not very happy.

Of course, the premise is that you have to pass the current level first.

Although Hao Shaoqi was very dissatisfied with Li Zicheng, he hated Tartar even more.

It is impossible to get him to surrender to the Tartars.

Of course, because of the idea of retaining strength, Hao Shaoqi did not order his soldiers to rush to the front, but formed a second line of defense behind Yuan Zongdi's army.

How Yuan Zongdi didn't know Hao Shaoqi's careful thoughts, but he didn't have a good way at the moment, so he could only fight hard with Wu Sangui's feudal soldiers.

Strange to say, Wu Sangui's feudal soldiers are basically the original Guanning army. During the Chongzhen period, the Guanning army and the Tartars almost never won the field battle.

At that time, Yuan Zongdi also joked that the so-called Guan Ningjun were all useless embroidered pillows, and they couldn't do anything but run away.

But why did Wu Sangui surrender to the Qing Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of this army directly increased by several grades, and it became a strong army with courage and sharpness.

Could it be that because they shaved their hair and kept braids, they subconsciously thought that they were Tartars, so their combat effectiveness increased?

Yuan Zongdi is miserable!

The artillery of the Qing army was left in Shaanxi, except for a few soldiers in the Han army, who were equipped with firearms, and basically used knives to chop.

Hand-to-hand white-knuckle combat was extremely cruel, and Yuan Zongdi's subordinates and Wu Sangui's vassal soldiers were mixed together, and they couldn't tell the direction at all.

Everyone only has the enemy in front of them, and they slash and kill indiscriminately, just to save their lives.

On the other side, Liu Tichun's life is also not easy.

The combat effectiveness of Shang Kexi's Tianzhu Army was better than that of Wu Sangui's feudal soldiers.

Liu Tichun did not have Hao Shaoqi's "reinforcements", and the soldiers could not see hope, and their morale was getting lower and lower.

"Damn, these dogs who fight for tigers are so brave in beating their own people, and I haven't seen them work so hard when they fight Tartars!"

Liu Tichun snorted and shouted at Yuan Zongdi, who was not far away: "Hold on for a while, hold on for a while and withdraw." ”

...

...

Li Zicheng's main army did not carry much baggage, so the evacuation was fast.

Since the back road was temporarily blocked by Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun, Li Zicheng did not have to worry about the Qing army's pursuit.

But when he led his army to the halfway point of the mountain, he felt despair.

The wooden bridge across the valley had broken off, and it was impossible for them to cross the valley from now on.

Li Zicheng was silent for a moment and decided to take a long detour down the mountain.

At this time, there must not be the slightest hesitation, and the time for the army to withdraw was all bought by Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and others desperately fighting.

Li Zicheng secretly vowed in his heart that he must take everyone out of the mountain safely.

"Your Majesty, the number of the army is too large, even if it is far away, it is better to separate, so that the march can be faster."

Just when Li Zicheng was in trouble, Tian Jianxiu spoke again.

Time is the most precious thing now, and how to transfer everyone in a short period of time is the first thing Li Zicheng has to consider.

As for the division of troops, which will dilute the strength of the troops, so that the ability to deal with emergencies will be reduced, Li Zicheng can't take care of it for the time being.

"It's okay, Yufeng, you take half of the brothers to circle from the east, and I will take the others to circle from the west. See you at the bottom of the mountain! ”

Li Zicheng said in a deep voice.
