Unexpectedly, Mo Li shook his head and said, "No, we must cease fire with Li Zicheng!" ”

Cao Wenzhao's mouth moved, and he was about to speak, when Mo Li waved his hand at him and said, "General Cao, I know that Li Zicheng, a traitor, killed so many of your brothers, and you feel uncomfortable, but I tell you, I am also uncomfortable!" Because, they are also my Moli's brothers! We must avenge the revenge of the brethren! ”

After a pause, Mo Li continued: "But General Cao, there are priorities, now that the Tartar soldiers will soon arrive in Henan, we can't be busy fighting with Li Zicheng at this time, and let the Tartars reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

Therefore, we can cease fire with Li Zicheng, and we must also cease fire, but we must not fail to guard against Li Zicheng. Taiyuan and Pingyang Li Zicheng must defend themselves! ”

From Taiyuan to Wuchang and Changsha, the Mojia army was able to advance to Zhangde and Huaiqing, and the logistics were already under great pressure.

Henan and Shanxi have been poisoned by Li Zicheng's Dashun army for a long time, and they have been in war for many years, and they have long been thousands of miles away, and it is simply difficult to supply the protracted consumption of the army. However, it will take a lot of energy, financial resources and time to transfer from Huguang.

He was about to fight the Tartars again, and Mo Li was busy urging the state capitals under his jurisdiction to raise food and grass, replenish supplies and equipment, guns and ammunition. For a time, the entire Huguang was mobilized and was very busy.

The Houjin Eight Banners are not the Great Shun Army composed of Li Zicheng's rabble, and a decisive battle with the Houjin Army is not something that can be solved in a while.

Li Zicheng withdrew to Xi'an, leaving Hao Shaoqi to lead an army of 50,000 in Taiyuan.

Later, Jin Belezierharang, Yue Tuo and others led 50,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners and 10,000 troops from Wu Sangui as the vanguard, and then chased to Taiyuan, and soon launched a siege battle against Taiyuan.

Because the Later Jin army took over many Ming troops, as well as their various light and heavy artillery, including the Hongyi cannon at Shanhaiguan, the siege firepower of the Later Jin army was greatly enhanced.

Zilharang led his troops to storm the city fiercely for several days, inflicting heavy casualties on the defenders of Hao Shaoqi in Taiyuan.

Hao Shaoqi held out for five days, and because of more than half of the casualties, he had to order a retreat and withdraw from Taiyuan.

This was actually agreed upon by Li Zicheng before, and he gave up Taiyuan and Pingyang to the Mojia army to fight with the Jin soldiers.

Originally, Li Zicheng's order to Hao Shaoqi was to keep it for a day or two, but Hao Shaoqi felt that it was too contrived, and the traces were too obvious, which was a bit unreasonable. So I decided to stay for a few more days.

After Hao Shaoqi retreated, Jierharang quickly occupied Taiyuan and more than ten surrounding prefectures and counties, and the troops were divided into two routes, and the troops were directed at Lingchuan and Shunde Mansion.

After recovering Zhangde and Huaiqing, the territory controlled by the Mojia army has been connected with Lingchuan. Because Lingchuan was at the forefront of the fight against the Tartars, Moli sent Ma Jinzhong to lead an army of 30,000 troops into Lingchuan to preside over the defense of the northern border and strictly prevent the Tartars from invading the south.

At the same time, Guan Feng, Cao Bianjiao and others strongly persuaded Moli to sit in Xiangyang, coordinate and command the soldiers and horses of various places, and urge local officials to raise grain and grass.

Mo Li understood that they actually didn't let themselves go to the front line of the battlefield to avoid being in danger, after all, the battlefield was dangerous, and anything could happen.

But Moli had his own considerations. After all, Houjin Baqi is not comparable to the rogue rebels who have no combat effectiveness, and Huang Taiji is not comparable to Li Zicheng and his ilk, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is eloquent, and Mo Li cannot let his subordinates deal with it as he was when he sat in Changsha and commanded the soldiers of various departments to suppress bandits.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and he must go to the front line in person, grasp the battlefield situation at any time, make arrangements, and mobilize troops and horses to fight with the golden soldiers.

Therefore, Mo Li now set up a temporary command center in Kaifeng Mansion, and sat in Kaifeng to command all departments to fight against the Jin soldiers.

Cao Bianjiao led 30,000 troops to garrison Zhangde, Cao Wenzhao led 20,000 troops to garrison Huaiqing, and Guan Feng led 30,000 troops to garrison Weihui. Mo Li led 50,000 troops to be stationed in Kaifeng and responded in the center.

Jierharang mobilized heavy troops to be stationed in Taiyuan, Yangqu, Yuci, Liaozhou and other places, and the follow-up Jin soldiers led by Mang Gurtai, Abatai and other Baylors were also coming. At the same time, the 80,000-strong army led by Dolgon had also arrived in Zhending and was marching towards Taiyuan.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

Lian Yiqiu and Hui Dengxiang, who led 15,000 troops and were stationed in Shexian County, were the first to fight with the Jin soldiers.

On the seventh day of the third month, Zilharang ordered Abatai, He Luohui, Tan Tai and Wu Sangui to lead 30,000 troops to attack Shexian.

Shexian County is located at the junction of Zhangde, Henan Province and Liaozhou, Shanxi, with many mountains and uneven terrain, which is not suitable for large-scale field battles, especially cavalry charges.

Shexian is only a small county town, and the city walls are low, which is not suitable for holding. For this reason, Lian Yiqiu and Hui Dengxiang did not work hard with Jin Bing according to the author's plan pre-formulated by Mo Li.

The people in the city, under the mobilization of the officers and soldiers, had already hastily withdrawn before the Jin soldiers arrived and fled to Zhangde Mansion. Moli wants to leave an empty city for Zilharang.

Less than half a day after the Jin soldiers began to attack the city, Lian Yiqiu ordered the whole army to retreat and withdraw from Shexian.

Abatai hurriedly led his troops in pursuit.

has been chasing for more than 30 miles, chasing to a wide mountain called Wild Horse Ridge, suddenly, the Mo family army in front stopped, not only did not run, but also turned around, shouting towards the Jin soldiers.

Chasing after the front were He Luohui and Wu Sangui, who were wondering when they saw this scene, and suddenly there was a dull sound of horses' hooves in the woods next to them. Then, dozens of chariots rushed out of the woods, pack horses in leather armor, and a long iron pipe protruding from the chariot.

This is the most powerful and domineering weapon of the Mo family's army, the Flame Tyrant, which was roaring and rushing towards the Jin Soldier at this time, and when he was about to approach the Jin Soldier, the iron pipes on the Flame Tyrannosaur spewed out long flames in unison, spraying S frantically towards the Jin Soldiers.

This is also one of the most feared weapons of the Jin soldiers, since Chongzhen was defeated by the Ming army's big killer weapon under the city of Jinzhou in the third year and fled, the Jin soldiers have not been able to develop a nemesis against this weapon.

Huang Taiji's response to his subordinates was to use the accurate riding S of the Eight Banners Cavalry to give this kind of fire tyrannosaur's pack horse to S kill, but the pack horses were all wearing leather armor, and it was generally difficult to kill S.

Therefore, when Jin Bing faced this kind of big killing weapon, he could only rely on his superb riding S kung fu, quickly wear C, and bypass the fire tyrannosaur to attack other targets of the Ming army.

The terrain here is relatively flat, which is conducive to cavalry charges, but it is also conducive to the charge of Pyrosaurs.

Under the domineering power of the Flame Tyrannosaurus, coupled with the fact that Lian Yiqiu's subordinates also had 2,000 cavalry, and as the defensive force in the north, almost all of Lian Yiqiu and Hui Dengxiang's subordinates were equipped with advanced flintlock guns, and their power could not be underestimated......
