Tuo Yue watched Han Hu and the other five thousand Ying Long troops take refuge in the burned barren mountains, gritting his teeth desperately, angry but helpless! In the end, his goal was not reached.

"Hahahaha, the so-called Ying Long Army is just a group of cowardly people!" Tuoyue suddenly laughed.

Although he couldn't annihilate this Ying Long army to eliminate the knots of the Eight Banners from behind the Battle of Xuzhou, he could force the Ying Long Army to such a situation, and as a general, he had to say this in order to improve the morale of the Eight Banners under his command.

"Ying Longjun is as timid as a mouse, it is better to call Ying Long Pig in the future, pig! Hahahaha! ”

"Hahahaha"

All the people laughed in unison, and Tuoyue's action just now really worked.

Although it was not able to annihilate the five thousand Ying Long Army, it was never able to eliminate the knots in the hearts of the Eight Banners, but it also eliminated most of them.

After forcing Ying Long's army into the mountains, Tuoyue returned to Lizhou City with a red flag!

Li Dingguo was not surprised that the Qing army did not consume 5,000 Ying Long troops, and he knew from the beginning that the chances of success were extremely small.

"Now that Lizhou City is under the control of General Li, what does General Li plan to do next?" Tuo Yue asked Li Dingguo.

"Back to Chengdu!" Li Dingguo said without hesitation: "I originally brought the army here to prevent the Ming army from transporting shells to Chengdu, but now the city of Lizhou has been cut off, and the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops besieging Chengdu have become lone troops, and within a certain period of time, it is impossible for the Ming army to get any supplies, this is the best time to drive them out of Shudi!" ”

Li Dingguo always thought about how to drive the Ming army out of Sichuan, so as to keep the Great Western Kingdom from extinction, and Li Dingguo didn't think much about the rest.

"I, the Great Qing Railway, rode into Sichuan to help the Great Western Kingdom resist the Ming army, and I will also go to Chengdu with General Li!" Tuoyue said. I don't know for what reason, Tuoyue didn't tell Li Dingguo about his destruction of the Ma family and the capture of many direct children of the Ma family for the time being.

Li Dingguo nodded, he had no reason to stop the Qing army from going to Chengdu with him, so he could only agree, after all, the Qing army helped them capture the coveted Lizhou City.

Immediately, Li Dingguo left all his men and horses to guard Lizhou City, and went to Chengdu alone with Tuoyue and the red flag.

Because the Qing army and Li Dingguo were both riding war horses, the speed was very fast, and they arrived in Chengdu in less than a day.

After Zhang Xianzhong knew that the Qing army actually entered Sichuan to help him resist the Ming army, and also helped him capture the city of Lizhou, he was overjoyed, and personally came out to greet Tuoyue, and greeted him with beautiful women and wine.

At this time, almost three days have passed since Han Hu took the 5,000 Ying Long Army to receive the cannonballs, and the cannonballs have not yet come, and there is no news from Han Hu and the other 5,000 Ying Long Army, Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu are worried.

Suddenly, the news came that Tuo Yue and Li Dingguo had entered Chengdu with the Qing army.

"Why did nearly 10,000 Qing troops enter Chengdu from the south gate with red flags?" After receiving the news, Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu were shocked, this is definitely very bad news.

"Why did the Qing army come to intervene?" Zhou Cao was puzzled, and his face was a little gloomy.

"It should be that there has been decisive progress in the extermination of Li Zicheng in Henan, presumably the Qing army feels the pressure and wants to unite Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng to fight against the Ming Dynasty." Qin Liangyu thought for a while and said.

The fact that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong at the same time is known to the world, and now although Li Zicheng has been destroyed for more than six days, because Lizhou was suddenly captured by the Qing army, the road to the east was cut off, and the news of Li Zicheng's destruction was cut off outside Lizhou City, and it could not be transmitted to Sichuan through Lizhou City, not only Qin Liangyu and Zhou Cao did not know that the war in Henan was over, but Zhang Xianzhong and Li Dingguo did not know, unless Tuoyue told them.

And Tuoyue was indeed prepared to do so.

"Newspaper"

"Commander, Governor Qin, General Han Hu sent a scout back to see you!" At this time, a soldier of the Ying Long Army suddenly ran into the central tent to report.

"Han Hu has news?" Zhou Cao was overjoyed: "Bring people in!" ”

Han Hu had news, and Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu temporarily put aside the matter of the alliance between the Qing army and Zhang Xianzhong.

As the people were brought in, Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu were taken aback again.

The Ying Longjun uniform on the person who came was torn and slightly injured, which seemed to be embarrassed, as if he had experienced a big battle.

This person was naturally the last Ying Long Army scout, and under the pursuit of thirty thief scouts, he successfully escaped and brought back the news that Han Hu had asked him to convey.

This scout of the Ying Long Army immediately reported to Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu that the cannonballs were ambushed and destroyed after they were transported to Shiqiao Town, and that Han Hu had decided to personally take 5,000 Ying Long troops to Lizhou City to escort a new batch of shells.

After Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu listened, they were silent with gloomy faces.

"It must be Li Dingguo's ghost!" Zhou Cao asserted: "Li Dingguo just entered Chengdu with nearly 10,000 Qing troops of the Eight Banners, which means that Li Dingguo must have gone out secretly, damn Li Dingguo, it is really hateful to unite with the Tartar alien race!" ”

Zhou Cao hated people who colluded with other races and regarded them as traitors! Li Dingguo has undoubtedly been branded as a traitor in Zhou Cao's heart.

History is such a joke, Zhang Xianzhong died in the hands of the Qing army in history, and Li Dingguo had nationalist colors, making him a national hero who insisted on fighting against the Manchu Qing aliens for more than ten years in history, but at present, Zhang Xianzhong did not die in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty was attacking Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo became the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and for the sake of Lizhou City and Zhang Xianzhong, he had to cooperate with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is just the opposite of history, and the creation makes people!

"Since the Qing army and Li Dingguo entered Chengdu City at this time, I am afraid that the situation of the five thousand Ying Long troops such as General Han Hu is not very good!" Qin Liangyu said suddenly.

Zhou Cao was taken aback, it was really possible.

"Han Hu's talent is good, I am a little ashamed, I believe that he will be able to bring back the five thousand Ying Long Army safely!" Zhou Cao firmly believes this, not only firmly believes in Han Hu's talent, but also firmly believes in the combat effectiveness of Ying Longjun, Ying Longjun is not so easy to have accidents!

The alliance between the Qing army and Zhang Xianzhong, coupled with the fear that something would happen to Han Hu and the other five thousand Ying Long troops, Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu's hearts were full of pressure.

At the same time, in Chengdu City, Tuo Yue was also trying to find a way to instigate Zhang Xianzhong to fight with the Ming army outside Chengdu.

Tuo Yue took Dolgon's order, not only to help Zhang Xianzhong resist the Ming army, but also to let Zhang Xianzhong follow the Ming army dog-eat-dog, delay the Ming army in Sichuan, and do everything possible to weaken the strength of the Ming army.
