Liu Hui led the army to battle, He Renlong responded unceremoniously, and as soon as the two armies clashed, the rebel army immediately showed a defeat. The Dongjiang Army is still as imposing as a rainbow, and it is not at all comparable to the insurgent army that is not in good spirits.

In the end, when the rebel army was defeated, Li Zicheng directly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

And Liu Hui was unfortunate that on the way to withdraw his troops, he was shot in the chest by He Renlong's arrow. Although the person was sent into the city, before he could be sent to Li Zicheng, Liu Hui still died of death.

As soon as the rebel army went into battle, it directly lost a general, which was even worse news. For a while, morale was even lower, and Li Zicheng could see that he could not continue to deal with the Dongjiang Army.

In the peaceful city tower, Li Zicheng sat alone inside, thinking about what choice to make. There are only two ways left for him in front of him, one is to withdraw his troops immediately and return to Sichuan quickly. The second is to hold on here and resist the Dongjiang Army to the end.

Choose one of the two, Li Zicheng naturally hopes to choose the first one. It is not without risk to withdraw troops and flee back to Sichuan, and the risk is much greater than holding on.

Now if Li Zicheng sticks to the city, there is still a city wall to keep the Dongjiang army out. If he gave up the city, once he was pursued by the Dongjiang Army in the field, Li Zicheng himself didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be?

"How can I quietly return to Sichuan without being discovered by the Dongjiang Army?" Li Zicheng muttered to himself.

After sitting from noon to evening, Li Zicheng left the city tower, hurriedly got down the city tower, and went to the city office.

He Renlong was still holding on outside Jinan City, he wanted to attack Jinan City immediately, however, he knew that before Chen Qiyu and the others arrived, he could only do it like this, and he couldn't do anything.

Waiting is the most painful thing, He Renlong looked at Jinan City, which could be easily taken, in front of him, but he couldn't do anything, not to mention how aggrieved he was.

"General, I just came back from exploring the horse, and I said that the general is almost there, and they can join us early tomorrow morning." A guard reported to the people outside the tent.

"Great, finally the general is here!" He Renlong clapped his hands excitedly.

The night was spent peacefully, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, the north gate of Jinan City suddenly opened halfway. A group of several thousand troops quickly rushed out of the city gates, and then disappeared into the vast wilderness.

He Renlong was still asleep, but was woken up by the guards. When he learned that a group of people had quietly fled from Jinan City, his first reaction was that Li Zicheng was fleeing.

"Quick, gather 10,000 soldiers and horses, and General Ben will personally go to pursue it." He Renlong didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered to pursue.

The sound of the horn in the camp immediately overwhelmed, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses were quickly assembled, and He Renlong handed over the camp to his cronies to take care of, and he himself hurriedly led his troops to pursue.

On the upper floor of Jinan City, Li Zicheng, dressed as an ordinary soldier, saw He Renlong and them who were hurriedly chasing them in the Dongjiang Army camp. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sinister smile that had succeeded in his scheme.

"Order, the second team will set off from the south gate." Li Zicheng ordered the guards behind him without looking back.

Soon, the south gate was opened, and an army of only about 2,000 people rushed out of Jinan City, and then left quickly in the direction of the south. Similarly, the Dongjiang Army's scouts soon discovered the anomaly.

When He Renlong's two cronies learned about it, the two had different opinions. One said he didn't need to care, but the other insisted on sending troops to pursue, and after a stalemate, the two finally decided to do their own thing.

In the end, those who advocated pursuit led the troops to pursue, while those who did not advocate pursuit continued to stay and guard the camp, waiting for Chen Qiyu's arrival.

Li Zicheng saw that there were soldiers and horses in the Dongjiang army camp to pursue tonight, he was immediately overjoyed, and ordered the third army to leave from the west city gate as a puzzle.

This time, the Dongjiang Army Battalion did not react at all, and after a long time, Li Zicheng did not see the possibility of the Dongjiang Army Battalion sending troops to pursue it again.

After determining that the Dongjiang Army would no longer send troops to pursue, Li Zicheng was immediately overjoyed, and he immediately led nearly 100 personal guards, only with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then left from the West City Gate. And Jinan City only left more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, which continued to confuse the Dongjiang army.

Li Zicheng was indeed lucky, since he fled from Jinan City, he did not detect any shadow of the pursuers along the way, and then he fled in the direction of Sichuan with relief.

Chen Qiyu soon arrived in the city of Jinan, and he was furious when he learned that someone had fled from the city. He immediately ordered an attack on Jinan City, but he arrived this time late, and after two more days of delay, he asked Mao Wenlong for an explosive bag.

When attacking the city, Chen Qiyu used it as soon as possible, and the gate of Jinnan City collapsed after a thunderous explosion. Nearly 100,000 Dongjiang troops rushed into the city in an instant, and the sound of killing shook the sky, staining the city of Jinan with blood.

That night, Jinan City had completely fallen into the hands of the Dongjiang Army, and Chen Jisheng searched the city vigorously, but never found Li Zicheng. Judging from the three groups of people who fled from the city in the morning, Chen Qiyu already understood that Li Zicheng must have fled.

waited until the next morning, Chen Qiyu waited for He Renlong: "How is it, have you ever chased Li Zicheng?" ”

He Renlong's face was full of bitterness: "General, my subordinates have been tricked, that damn Li Zicheng actually released a smoke bomb and used some people to confuse us." ”

Chen Qiyu immediately frowned, but he couldn't blame He Renlong, so he could only wave his hand to let him retreat, and then pin his hopes on another person who went to chase after him.

At noon, Chen Qiyu and others came, but they also disappointed him, like He Renlong, they only chased some people.

At this point, Chen Qiyu already knew that he had let Li Zicheng escape, and as the commander-in-chief, he couldn't get out of it. Write a letter to inform Mao Wenlong and ask him for guilt.

When Mao Wenlong from Xi'an received Chen Qiyu's letter, he felt incredible. He shook the letter and said to Hong Chengchou: "This can allow Li Zicheng to escape, it seems that this Chen Qiyu is not very good!" ”

Hong Chengchou took the letter from Mao Wenlong's hand, then read it carefully, and said with a wry smile: "This Li Zicheng has little ability to fight, but when it comes to the way to escape, he is definitely a first-class expert." ”

Hearing Hong Chengchou say this, Mao Wenlong suddenly felt that this was reasonable. Think about Li Zicheng's luck every time he escapes at the moment of life and death, and it goes smoothly.

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and said to Hong Chengchou: "Then forget it this time, wait for the next time you have the opportunity to go to Sichuan, and it will not be too late to arrest him." ”
