After Lu Xiangsheng was angry, he immediately felt that his situation was not good, and he didn't need to send someone to send the news back to Jingshi to know what Chongzhen would do. lost food and nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, Chongzhen will definitely not spare him.

In order to avoid the tragedy of the annihilation of the whole army, Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops, first withdrew from the dangerous place of Henan, and then planned to cross the Yellow River and return to Shanxi.

The remaining 60,000 imperial soldiers and horses were quickly regrouped, and the entire camp was burned to ashes, with nothing to bring. On the same day, Lu Xiangsheng took advantage of the night to set off for Kaifeng Territory.

On the tower of Runing Mansion, Mao Wenlong held a telescope and kept an eye on Lu Xiangsheng's movements, and at this moment, seeing that he was ready to take advantage of the night to retreat, he immediately sneered: "If you want to leave, it's not so easy!" ”

Hong Chengchou smiled and didn't say much, from the moment the imperial army's camp was breached, Lu Xiangsheng's defeat was already doomed. Now that Lu Xiangsheng is in a hurry to evacuate Henan, he has no intention of fighting at all, and it is the time for Mao Wenlong to strike hard.

Mao Wenlong suddenly turned to look at Cheng Zuo and ordered: "Immediately personally lead the troops to Lu Xiangsheng and them in front, inform Zhuang Yexiang, let her design an ambush in Kaifeng, and beat me hard." ”

"Yes!" After Cheng Zuo agreed, he immediately turned around and retreated, and after a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves under the city tower, and I saw Cheng Zuo leaving in a hurry with a hundred guards.

Mao Wenlong said to the remaining three people: "Xu Fuzuo, Li Jie, Qingfeng!" ”

"The subordinates are here!" The three of them immediately responded loudly.

"Take all the soldiers and horses, bite the butt of the imperial army led by Lu Xiangsheng and beat it hard."

"Yes!" The three of them also responded, and then led the troops into battle.

After a while, the army left, and Runing Mansion became empty, with only more than a thousand people left in the city to defend the city, and the rest all went to war. Even if it is poured out, it can also be seen that Mao Wenlong hates the court this time.

Hong Chengchou felt that Mao Wenlong was a bit risky to do this, so he couldn't help but persuade him: "Although the enemy army has begun to retreat, if you force Lu Xiangsheng into a corner, I'm afraid he will turn around and fight with you, and it will be worth the loss." ”

Mao Wenlong snorted coldly and said: "He didn't dare to borrow ten dares from him, and now Henan has begun to calm down." Li Zicheng's rebel army was in the same boat with us, and the imperial army alone was not a problem at all. ”

"Alas......"

Hong Chengchou sighed lightly, and didn't know what to say for a while. Mao Wenlong's analysis is indeed no problem, but no one can predict what will happen on the battlefield, in case it is really said by himself, Lu Xiangsheng will turn around and fight with the Dongjiang Army, and the casualties will be difficult to estimate.

However, at present, Mao Wenlong is obviously still haunted by the predicament he faced before, and his hatred for Chongzhen in the imperial court has not subsided. At this point, persuasion obviously won't lead to anything.

The two of them stayed in the castle tower for a while, and then they went back to rest.

Early the next morning, Mao Wenlong received a battle report from Xu Fuzuo, saying that he had followed his orders and had fought since last night, killing the imperial army and abandoning their armor.

Mao Wenlong was suddenly in a good mood, and everyone saw him smirking with his mouth cracked all morning.

At noon, Mao Wenlong received news again that Li Zicheng actually pressed up with the whole army and took the opportunity to take revenge, so that Lu Xiangsheng had no power to fight back.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng is like a rat crossing the street, and he is beaten by people when he walks there in Henan. It was a little better to run into the Dongjiang Army, at most it was attacked by a wave of sneak attacks, but Li Zicheng completely chased him all the way, causing heavy casualties to the imperial army.

Lu Xiangsheng has always been very angry, and he almost couldn't help but turn around and fight with Li Zicheng several times, but he was afraid of the ubiquitous Dongjiang Army, so he could only give up helplessly.

In the final analysis, he can't blame others for his current situation, who told him to be carried away by the victory before, and directly led the army deep into the enemy. Wanting to withdraw troops now will cause such heavy losses on the road.

In just half a day, his subordinates suffered at least nearly 10,000 casualties, and nearly 20,000 have been dispersed.

A fine cold sweat broke out on Lu Xiangsheng's forehead, there was still a day to go from Kaifeng at this moment, and it was estimated that he would have to lose at least one or two thousand soldiers and horses in this day. And the most terrible thing is that if he dares to pack a ticket in Kaifeng City, there will definitely be a large number of Dongjiang troops ambushed there, waiting for him to crash into it with these remnants.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't calm down anymore, he already felt that he was very likely to die in Henan.

The left and right were dead, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't take care of it so much, and immediately sent a few personal soldiers and ordered them to leave the army, bypass Kaifeng City and cross the Yellow River to ask for help from Shanxi first, and let them respond.

sent his subordinates to ask for help, but Lu Xiangsheng didn't dare to run around anymore, he began to slow down his march, fighting and fleeing. In this way, it caused a lot of trouble for those pursuers, and also reduced the losses of the imperial army a lot.

Two days later, Chongzhen, who was in Beijing, received a distress letter from Lu Xiangsheng, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The army on the Huguang side has just sent an urgent report, saying that it has suffered a counterattack from the Dongjiang army and has been unable to return to Xiangyang City in time. Here he was still thinking about whether to let Lu Xiangsheng lead troops over to help, but he didn't expect such a situation to occur.

"Damn Lu Xiangsheng, this waste, the army of 100,000 is almost wiped out. Now that not only has all the food he stolen has been lost, but he has also suffered such a heavy loss, he still has the face to ask me for help. Chongzhen roared angrily, where is there still a little bit of majesty and calmness that an emperor should have.

Wu Chengen hesitated for a moment, but still risked being condemned and said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to hold you accountable, if Lu Xiangsheng and his subordinates are buried in Henan, then Shanxi will be in danger." ”

was said by Wu Chengen, Chongzhen calmed down. The vast majority of the 100,000 troops led by Lu Xiangsheng were mobilized from all over Shanxi, and if they were allowed to be killed, Shanxi would face an attack by Mao Wenlong and Li Zicheng at any time.

Once Shanxi is captured, then the Beijing division will no longer have any buffer, and may face the attack of Mao Wenlong and Li Zicheng at any time.

After hesitating for a long time, Chongzhen finally gritted his teeth and ordered: "Immediately send 10,000 Imperial Forest Army to Shanxi to respond, and order all parts of Shanxi to immediately send troops to assist, and we must rescue Lu Xiangsheng and them." ”

"The minions will arrange it immediately." Wu Chengen's heart suddenly relaxed, he was really afraid that Chongzhen would be dizzy and ignore Lu Xiangsheng and the others.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng finally arrived in Kaifeng, and his army of 100,000 was less than 30,000 left.
