Duoduo rode a war horse to Liu Zongmin's corpse and looked down at Liu Zongmin's corpse.

"This person can be regarded as a hero among the Han people, give an order, bury this person!" The Manchurians admire the brave and not afraid of the dead the most, and Duoduo is no exception, for Liu Zongmin who is still not afraid of life and death in such a situation, he dares to face his hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen alone, such courage is worthy of admiration, so Duoduo is not stingy to give Liu Zongmin a dignity.

"Wow!" Soon, several people came to collect Liu Zongmin's body.

More than 100,000 Manchu cavalry pursued and killed the defeated soldiers of the Dashun army, because these defeated soldiers were all foot soldiers, in the face of the Manchu cavalry, they were slaughtered like lambs, without the power to resist, except for a small part of them who fled into the mountains in time to escape a catastrophe, more than half of the rout soldiers were slaughtered.

Duoduo was in a hurry to chase and kill Li Zicheng, and the slaughter only lasted for half an hour, so Duoduo gave up continuing to pursue and kill the rout, and soon gathered his military horses and chased in the direction of Li Zicheng's escape, vowing not to give up until Li Zicheng was killed!

Not only to destroy Li Zicheng, Duoduo also wanted to take the opportunity to take the entire Henan, so that the Qing Dynasty could occupy half of the world like the Ming in the south of the Yangtze River.

The main target of the Manchu Qing was Li Zicheng's Ming in Jiangnan, and as for Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, the Manchus did not pay much attention to it.

Danfeng Boundary.

Three hours ago, Li Zicheng led 80,000 remnants of the army just past Shangluo, at this moment is passing through Danfeng County, although this county is still under the control of Dashun, but Li Zicheng does not intend to lead the army to go in for a little rest, but does not stop, directly all the way to Shangnan County on the border of Henan and Shaanxi.

Nearly an hour later.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! A staff general galloped from the rear army to the front of Li Zicheng.

"What's the matter?" Li Zicheng took a breath and asked.

The general, who was also panting, bowed to Li Zicheng and said: "Your Majesty, hundreds of people have just fallen behind, and the soldiers are already exhausted after a day of non-stop rapid marching, so I beg Your Majesty to order the whole army to rest for a while." ”

Although Li Zicheng's 80,000 remnants of the army had 3,000 horses, except for some generals and Li Zicheng's own soldiers, other ordinary soldiers ran with their feet, and now they have been running for a day, even Li Zicheng and these people on horses feel tired, not to mention those ordinary soldiers who run with their feet, since two hours ago, some people are directly tired and fainted, and after two hours, almost 2,000 people are left behind.

"How to rest, what to do in case the Qing army chases! You can't kill me! Li Ziyuan wanted to agree, but when he thought that there were more than 100,000 Qing army iron cavalry chasing behind him, he immediately said with a dark face.

"But Your Majesty, ordinary soldiers have long been too tired to support it, and now nearly 2,000 people have been left behind, and if you continue to run like this, I am afraid that Your Majesty has not yet entered Henan, and the 80,000 army is likely to lose nearly half of Your Majesty." The general pleaded.

Li Zicheng was still a little frightened, afraid that the Qing army would catch up, so he didn't agree immediately.

"Your Majesty, it is better to order the army to rest for a while. It's been a day, and the Qing cavalry hasn't caught up, which means that Ruhou must have successfully blocked the Qing cavalry, and with Ruhou's bravery, it will not be a problem to block the Qing army for a day or two, and he is not in a hurry to rest for a moment. Li Guo, the last general next to Li Zicheng, also persuaded.

Li Guonai is the last general under Li Zicheng, and he is also Li Zicheng's righteous son, and what he said is the best for the general.

Li Zicheng looked at the ordinary soldiers behind him who looked tired and were almost lying on the ground, and the reason in his heart finally came up, knowing that the general was not lying, and everyone was too tired to do it.

"How far is there to enter Henan!" Li Zicheng asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are still two hours to enter Henan, and then one day to reach Nanyang." Li Guo replied.

Nanyang is one of Dashun's last two large cities in Henan, and it is surrounded by mountains to the north, which is an excellent place to settle down, and Li Zicheng's destination is there.

"Well, herald the army to rest for half an hour." Although Li Zicheng was frightened, his sanity was still there, and he knew that the army under his command was the capital of his life, and it was best to bring all the 80,000 troops to Nanyang, besides, people would be tired and must rest.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Soon the general passed down the order to rest for half an hour, and suddenly the whole army breathed a sigh of relief, with joy on their faces, and many people lay down as soon as their buttocks hit the ground, and fell asleep, seeing that many generals were extremely sad, and sighed that when it was not a success, it was not so miserable to be chased and killed by the Ming army all the year round.

The most important thing is that the Ming army had few cavalry back then, but the Qing army had more than 100,000 cavalry, and they were chased and killed by so many Qing cavalry, almost there was no way to enter the heavens and the ground, and they didn't even dare to rest.

At the same time, after the Qing army defeated Liu Zongmin's musket battalion, they pursued it to Shangluo County.

Duoduo did not intend to waste time in Shangluo, and ordered the whole army to bypass Shangluo County and continue to march east to pursue and kill Li Zicheng.

"Newspaper"

"Lord Qiqi, Shangluo County ordered Kaicheng to surrender!" An Eight Banners scout quickly came to Dodor to report.

"Oh?" Duoduo said with a smile on his face: "The Shangluo County Commander is a person who knows the times, and he can continue to serve as the Shangluo County Commander. ”

Shangluo is a big county, can surrender without a fight, Duoduo naturally appreciates, for those officials who surrendered, whether it is Dashun or Ming, the Manchus are very generous, generally let them stay in their original positions, to be enveloped, which is why the Manchus can quickly occupy such a large area of the country after only half a year after entering the customs.

"Mang Gurjie!" Dodor shouted.

"The last general!" A white flag general came out of the ranks.

"You bring three thousand eight banners to receive Shang Luo, and the rest of the people will follow this king to pursue Li Zicheng!" Although Shang Luo surrendered without a fight, and it was right in front of him, Duoduo had no intention of entering the city, but ordered the army to chase and kill Li Zicheng non-stop, and took the opportunity to take the entire territory of Henan in one fell swoop!

"Wow!" Mang Gurjie received the order and led three thousand white flag iron horsemen to receive Shangluo.

"The army continues to pursue!" Under Duoduo's order, more than 100,000 Qing army iron horsemen rode through Shangluo and continued to chase and kill Li Zicheng non-stop. With the galloping speed of the Qing army's war horses and iron horses, it is estimated that it will not take three hours to catch up with Henan.

An hour later, the Qing army approached Danfeng, Danfeng County Commander also heard the wind and surrendered, Danfeng is a small county, this time Duoduo only sent five hundred and eight banners to receive, and then continued to lead the iron cavalry to pursue.

Another hour later, at the junction of Shaanxi and Henan, Li Zicheng led 80,000 remnants of Dashun to finally come here.

"Finally arrived in Henan!" After more than a day of escape, Li Zicheng's hair was messy and very embarrassed, looking at the Henan border that was close at hand, Li Zicheng was full of emotion.

"The army enters Henan!" Li Zicheng shouted mentally.

Entering the territory of Henan, Li Zicheng's spirits were lifted a lot, and his fighting spirit was restored. Thinking that he Li Zicheng was forced into the mountains by the Ming army to hide for more than a year, and still made a comeback, and now he still has most of Henan in hand, why can't he make a comeback again, you know, he Li Zicheng is destined to regain the world in the end, and he will settle accounts with the Manchu dog thieves when the time comes!

Of course, although Li Zicheng regained a lot of confidence, in order to prevent being caught up by the Manchu iron cavalry, when the whole army entered Henan, he still assigned a general to lead 5,000 rivers and mountains to fortify a small mountain pass at the junction of Shaanxi and Henan.

This small mountain pass blocks a radius of ten miles, if the Manchu iron cavalry pursues here, unless it is a detour, it must attack this small mountain pass, Li Zicheng is not very demanding, as long as these 5,000 men and horses can temporarily block the Manchu iron cavalry for an hour or two, he will be satisfied.

However, what Li Zicheng didn't know was that the general assigned by him heard that Li Zicheng asked him to lead 5,000 soldiers to guard this mountain pass to block the Manchu Qing pursuers, not only did he not have any panic, but his eyes showed a slight joy, but Li Zicheng didn't see it.

It was Li Guo who noticed the strangeness of this general. Li Guo pondered for a moment, and finally did not raise any questions, and went straight to Nanyang with Li Zicheng leading the rest of the army.
