Chapter 202: Jiugong Mountain (Second Update, Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Azig is in a bad mood these days.
After he captured and killed Liu Zongmin, he never fought with the Shun army again.
Tens of thousands of Shun troops disappeared as if they had evaporated from the world.
Duoduo had returned to the court, but Azig had to stay behind to clean up the mess. This was not because of Dorgon's orders, but simply Azig's own thoughts.
When attacking northern Shaanxi through Mongolia, Azig once went to the steppe to grab horses and missed the fighter.
He was then reprimanded harshly by Dolgon, whose words were so fierce that it was difficult for Azig to accept.
After that, Azig could not attack Yulin for a long time, so he chose to bypass Yulin and go straight to Xi'an.
But when he led the army to the outside of Xi'an, he found that Duoduo had taken over Xi'an City first. And it was taken without blood and effortlessly.
This made Azig furious.
Okay, let Duoduo pick it up for nothing, he did a lot of dirty work and didn't end up doing well.
Although Azig and Dordo were brothers of the same mother, they still found it difficult to accept.
Isn't there a saying in the southerners, brothers settle accounts.
What's more, this account should be counted on Azig's head.
Azig is an extremely strong man, and if Duoduo takes the credit for the capture of Xi'an, he must also make a similar contribution, and must not be overshadowed by Duoduo.
At the suggestion of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, Azig decided to pursue Li Zicheng.
If he can capture Li Zicheng, Azig's credit will at least not be less than that of Duoduo.
It was Azig who chased from Shaanxi to Henan, and from Henan to Huguang, and then chased all the way to the vicinity of Jiujiang.
He pursued and beat the Shun army fiercely, venting all his anger.
The effect is also very good, Li Zicheng has been defeated repeatedly, and he has lost troops along the way.
But after losing Liu Zongmin and a group of old camp henchmen, Li Zicheng seemed to suddenly open his mind and turned around and ran to Jiugong Mountain.
Although Azig followed at the first time, when he led the army to Jiugong Mountain, he couldn't even see a single shadow.
Jiugong Mountain is located in the middle of the Makufu Mountain Range, in the territory of Tongshan County.
Jiugong Mountain is extremely dangerous, Li Zicheng led the remnants of the army into this deep mountain and dense forest, and it was too difficult for Azig to find the traces of the Shun army.
But he was unwilling to give up, so he ordered the soldiers under Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi to go to search the mountain.
As for the elite of the Eight Banners, they were firmly held in the hands of Azig in case of emergency.
Searching the mountains is an extremely difficult task.
Don't look at Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and the Green Battalion Army that surrendered all the way together, there are more than 100,000 people, but the more than 100,000 people scattered into the mountains seem extremely small.
What's more, the mountain terrain of Jiugong Mountain is extremely complex, and it is very easy to get lost in the absence of local guidance.
An army of more than 100,000 people circled around the mountains for five or six days, and did not search much area at all.
Azig couldn't help but be furious.
The food brought by the army was only enough to eat for half a month, and if Li Zicheng didn't find them, he would have to starve to death first.
These southerners are really useless.
In desperation, Azig had no choice but to send the elite of the Eight Banners to search the mountain.
The bannermen were hunters who came out of the mountains, and they were no strangers to mountain roads, and they also knew how to make a way in the dense forest.
After searching for three or four days, they finally found clues that there had been traces of camping on the mountainside of the back mountain.
Azig couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Sure enough, if you encounter difficulties, you have to rely on the elite of the Eight Banners.
This Li Zicheng definitely didn't go far!
Azig immediately ordered the elite of the Eight Banners and the feudal soldiers under Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi to go to the mountainside of the back mountain. As for the surrendered Green Battalion soldiers, they stayed in the front mountain to prevent Li Zicheng from coming back.
After arranging all this, Azig was full of confidence, thinking that he would definitely be able to capture Li Zicheng alive this time.
...
...
"Your Majesty, what shall we do now?"
Li Zicheng surrounded a circle of old brothers who broke into the camp.
They earnestly hope that Li Zicheng can give a clear way, just like in the past.
Li Zicheng only felt a little trance, as if he had returned to the years when he was trapped in Shangluo Mountain.
He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, meditating but not coming up with a good idea.
To be honest, the current situation is much better than when he was trapped in Shangluo, although there are not many soldiers and horses, there are still tens of thousands of people.
If it can converge with Li Guo and Gao Yigong, who were evacuated from northern Shaanxi, it is not impossible to make a comeback.
The problem now is how to bring the army out of Jiugong Mountain smoothly.
"Mian Hou, tell me about it."
Li Zicheng couldn't come up with an idea for a while, so he wanted to hear everyone's opinions.
This is also a habit he has developed since he was in the old camp.
Yuan Zongdi was stunned for a moment when he was named, and then cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Tartars are bound to search the mountains, and if they continue to stay in the mountains, even if they are not found by the Tartars, they will starve to death." These tens of thousands of brothers can't just feed themselves by picking wild fruits, right? ”
Yuan Zongdi's worries were not unreasonable.
There are not many villagers in Jiugong Mountain at all, most of them are hunters, very scattered, and they can't grab much food.
"What does Mian Hou mean to lead the army to break through?"
Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
"That's the only way to do it now."
Yuan Zongdi's mood was obviously not very good, and the successive defeats made the general of the Shun army a lot older.
"Yufeng, what do you think?"
Li Zicheng turned to Tian Jianxiu again.
Compared with Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu has older qualifications, higher status, and more voice in the camp.
When he saw Li Zicheng asking, he deliberately said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with Mianhou's opinion. If you continue to consume the morale of the army, it will only be weakened, so it is better to fight to the death in one go. There's still a chance to get out! ”
Li Zicheng smiled bitterly in his heart.
How could he not have known that the situation was now dangerous.
When they were in Shangluo, they could also settle down with the help of their familiarity with the terrain and topography, and recruit troops to restore their strength.
In addition, the people of Shaanxi were very supportive of the generals who broke into the camp from the old Eighth Team, so that the officers and soldiers could not figure out the situation at all.
But now there are too many of them, tens of thousands, and it is not easy to hide. In addition, they are foreign monks, and the mountain people of Jiugong Mountain may not be willing to hide their whereabouts for them, right?
But it's easier said than done.
As long as the Qing army closed the mountain, Li Zicheng must lead the army to fight a battle with the Qing army.
Can this battle be won with the current low morale?
Li Zicheng glanced at it and found that Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun, and He Shaoqi were all drooping their heads, looking listless.
The morale of the army is unstable, and the people's hearts are scattered!
Is God really going to kill him?
Li Zicheng's heart was very tingling.
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead troops to break through!"
Li Zicheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked over along the voice, but found that it was Zuo Guangxian who spoke.
His face couldn't help but drop.
