Chapter 521: Enthronement Ceremony

At this time, Zhou Zheng led Cao Bianjiao's cavalry to wantonly attack Li Zicheng's remnants, and the army behind shouted to shake the sky and wantonly cover up, almost leaving Li Zicheng behind.

Li Zicheng beat his horse and galloped, and he remembered the 'ten-sided net' a few years ago, and that time, he also ran away like this.

"When I arrive in the capital, I will definitely be able to regroup!" Li Zicheng roared hideously.

He has already conquered the capital and overthrown the Ming Dynasty, seeing that the whole world is his, who knows that the world will be turned upside down in just a few hours!

Li Zicheng hated it in his heart, and the more anxious he became.

Cao Bianjiao's cavalry rushed and killed in the back, scattering Li Zicheng's army, and the number of people killed was far less than that of trampling to death.

Man Gui, Yang Guozhu, Gao Jie and others led the army behind, like a fan, culling like a tiger.

Lu Xiangsheng on the other side, with Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Shujiao chased Wu Sangui and others, and went straight to the capital.

Li Zicheng ran, from the direction of the capital, there were 20,000 troops, and Li Zicheng recognized it at a glance, it was Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu.

Li Zicheng was overjoyed and ordered the two to break off, and he fled to the capital.

Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu led the army forward and set up a position to resist the cavalry led by Zhou Zheng and Cao Bianjiao.

The cavalry's tactics were the most flexible, directly cutting the two armies, dividing and surrounding, and when the infantry of Man Gui and others came up, it was immediately a fight, or a massacre.

Faced with the flexibility of cavalry, infantry has a natural disadvantage.

Zhou Zheng only suppressed Tian Jianxiu and Li Guo a little, and then continued to lead the army to pursue Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng took the remnants of the army and rushed back to the capital desperately, and the capital immediately became nervous, and people and horses from all over the city went to the top of the city and waited for it.

The news of Li Zicheng's defeat spread throughout the capital in a blink of an eye, like wings.

Those who were demoted, the generals were naturally shocked and panicked.

And Li Zicheng's people were also frightened, they didn't expect Li Zicheng to fail so quickly!

But what Niu Jinxing and the others were thinking about was not how to deal with Zhou Zheng's upcoming army, but to encourage Li Zicheng to ascend the throne and become emperor in the capital to boost morale!

Li Zicheng was shocked and did not make a decision at the first time.

The underground vault of the MIA.

When Zhou Fang heard the news, he slapped the table excitedly, tried his best to control it, and roared: "I knew it, I knew it!" I knew that my second brother could do it! ”

The officers of the Military Intelligence Department are as excited as the officials, they have been lurking for so many years, and they have finally arrived!

Their adults defeated Li Zicheng, more than 100,000 troops are rushing to the capital, Li Zicheng is completely defeated, and it is not far off!

Zhou Yanru, Ma Shiying and others were also excited, looking at the top of their heads underground, looking forward to Zhou Zheng entering Beijing as soon as possible, driving away Li Zicheng, and seeing the light of day again!

There was chaos in the palace, and I don't know how many gossips were circulating, and no one could control it.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong hugged Li Zhong and said with a look of surprise and surprise: "Gonggong Li, did Zheng Xibo really defeat the thief?" When will he come to my rescue? ”

Li Zhong knew that Zhu Cihong was frightened, looked at his dirty face, and said comfortingly: "It's almost soon, Your Highness wait, the thieves have fled back to the capital, Zheng Xibo must be on the way to chase him, and His Highness will be saved soon......"

Zhu Cihong was only ten years old, his little face was pale, trembling all over, and he nodded as if crying and laughing.

Li Zhong was actually more scared than Zhu Cihong in his heart, hugged him, and looked out of the door tremblingly.

When the capital was in chaos, Zhou Zheng galloped with his cavalry and went straight to Dongzhimen.

Before Li Zicheng could settle down, Zhou Zheng's army chased after him again, and suddenly panicked, and strictly ordered the troops in the capital to defend the city.

Zhou Zheng only brought 20,000 cavalry over, and could not immediately attack the city, so the cavalry walked around the city and sent people to surrender.

Li Zicheng naturally would not surrender, and while defending the city, he mobilized the surrounding troops.

Li Zicheng's army is really very large, but because of the sudden breakthrough of the capital, scattered in the five northwestern provinces, all the miscellaneous are counted, and there are millions of troops.

Zhou Zheng stood ten miles away from Dongzhimen, sitting on a horse, staring at the capital with an indifferent expression.

Cao Bianjiao came back from the front and said, "My lord, there are cannons in the city, and it is estimated that there are still 10,000 or 20,000 people inside, so they can't attack it for the time being." ”

Even if he could, Zhou Zheng wouldn't.

These cavalry are Zhou Zheng's precious bumps, and how much effort and time he has poured into them to practice, he will not waste them on siege.

Zhou Zheng said lightly: "Don't worry, wait for Lu Xiangsheng, Man Gui, and Yang Guozhu to arrive." The cavalry walked around the city, don't get away with Li Zicheng. ”

Now that the northwest has almost all fallen, if Li Zicheng escapes back, he may be able to set off a storm and add extra trouble to Zhou Zheng.

Cao Bianjiao responded, beat the horse and left.

Martial law has been imposed in the capital, but people are still panicked and rumors are spreading.

In particular, Li Zicheng's army, which was already loosely disciplined, is now even more panicked, and I don't know how many people have sent letters openly or covertly with the intention of surrendering.

In the Qianqing Palace, Niu Jinxing chased after Li Zicheng and said, "Your Majesty, as long as you ascend the throne, the world will obey you, what is the matter of just one Zhou Zhengyun?" ”

Li Zicheng's face has been pale since he fled, and he has not been relieved at all, and while walking in a hurry, he said impatiently and impatiently: "But they don't agree, they want to concentrate on eliminating Zhou Zhengyun......"

Niu Jinxing looked at Li Zicheng's side face, knowing that he was very moved, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly walked further, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Gao Jie has always been very close to Li Yan and Song Xiance, will they ......?"

Li Zichengmeng's face changed greatly, he stopped, and stared at Niu Jinxing fiercely.

Niu Jinxing's heart suddenly suddenly, and he hurriedly bowed down and stopped talking.

The Xing family is long gone, and now the relationship between the Xing family and Gao Jie is rumored in the palace, if this is pointed out, it will definitely die immediately!

Li Zicheng is now angry and wants to kill people with a knife, looking at Niu Jinxing's eyes flickering, and said: "You mean, Li Yan, Song Xiance betrayed me with Gao Jie and took refuge in Zhou Zhengyun?" ”

Niu Jinxing suppressed the panic and pretended to be calm and said, "I don't rule out this possibility." Your Majesty thinks about it, all the way, Li Yan and Song Xiance have been preventing Your Majesty from doing this and that, obviously it is in favor of Your Majesty, why should they stop it? Especially the enthronement! If he had ascended the throne before, his morale would have been greatly boosted, Zhou Zhengyun would have died a long time ago, where would he be in his current situation? ”

Li Zicheng is now suspicious and suspicious, no one dares to believe it, listening to Niu Jinxing's words, his heart is full of murderous intentions, and the only remaining bit of reason said angrily: "Arrest Li Yan and Song Xiance for me and torture them!" ”

Niu Jinxing was overjoyed in his heart, and his face still did not move: "Obey." That enthrones ......"

Li Zicheng also felt that it was not the same thing to be the emperor in Xi'an, so he waved his hand and said, "You go and prepare." ”

Niu Jinxing was overjoyed, and while arranging for someone to arrest Li Yan and Song Xiance, the two sworn enemies, he started to arrange the enthronement ceremony.

Once Li Zicheng ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will be the prime minister!

Song Xiance and Li Yan were suddenly arrested, and naturally shouted that they were wronged.

But Li Zicheng doesn't dare to believe it now, where is he willing to listen, and it is already great patience not to kill him directly.

The atmosphere in the capital has become weird, Zhou Zheng's army is besieging the city, the soldiers and horses behind are coming, and Li Zicheng's people are actually busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony!
