Li Zicheng sent the cavalry of the first battalion of Liu Yunshui's department to assist the navy in attacking Chenzhou and Changde west of Dongting Lake, and the fourth battalion of Li Ji's department immediately went south to assist Gao Ligong in attacking Yueyang, Changsha, Hengzhou, Yongzhou, and Baoqing.

Civil deputy envoys Wang Yinchang and Li Wan accompanied the army and pacified the captured prefectures and counties in a timely manner.

To the west of Xiangyang Mansion, there is also a mansion, named Yunyang Mansion, located in the depths of the mountain, the north hugs the Qinling branch Wudang Mountain, extends to the main vein of the Qinling Mountains, Shangluo Mountain, the south contains the Daba Mountain branch Shennongjia, the east is adjacent to Jingshan, the west is adjacent to Xing'an County, Hanzhong Prefecture, and the counties are distributed on the north and south sides of Wudang Mountain.

Because the terrain was too complex and the terrain was high, after the Heavenly Mandate Army took Xiangyang that day, it did not attack Yunyang Mansion.

Now that he has his hands free, Li Zicheng is determined to conquer Yunyang Mansion, incorporate Yunyang Mansion into the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and end the confrontation between Xiangyang Mansion and Yunyang Mansion.

Attacking a mountainous area with particularly complex terrain and not rich output outweighs the losses, but Li Zicheng is worried that once the main force of the Heavenly Mandate Army leaves Huguang, the Ming army stationed in Yunyang Mansion may threaten the important town of Xiangyang, and moreover, crossing Yunyang Mansion to the west from Xiangyang Mansion, it is the Hanzhong Mansion of the Heavenly Mandate Army, as long as Yunyang Mansion is taken, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan can be seamlessly connected.

Li Zicheng crossed the river and returned to the division with Li Xinbu, an independent battalion, to attack Yunyang Mansion, and at the same time ordered Li Guobu, the second battalion stationed in Hanzhong and Shangluoshan, and Zhang Lingbu, the second regiment of the Qingtian battalion stationed in Kuizhou, to assist and jointly take Yunyang Mansion.

Outside Wuchang City, there are still the seventh battalion and the Fengtian battalion left.

Li Zicheng was thinking about crossing the river and returning to Henan, but received a message from the Han Qing Bureau: Liu Kou Zhang Xianzhong advanced westward from Susong and Taihu Lake, invaded Huguang and Huangzhou, and had taken Huangmei County, and the troops were approaching Guangji County!

Zhang Xianzhong? Why are you everywhere?

Li Zicheng was furious in his heart, now that the main force of the Heavenly Mandate Army was fighting east and west on the territory of Huguang, in his heart, he had already regarded the entire Huguang as the bag of the Heavenly Mandate Army, how could he allow Zhang Xianzhong to invade Huangzhou?

The most important thing is that Zhang Xianzhong's department is different from the Mandate of Heaven Army, and has not changed the character of the rogue, whether it is the gentry, merchants, people, etc., they will be ruthlessly plundered, and the army will be like locusts pecking at food, leaving no leaves, such a territory, in the future, whether it is the government or the people themselves, must pay special hard efforts.

For the sake of Huaxia, Zhang Xianzhong must be cleaned up!

If it weren't for Zhang Xianzhong's looting everywhere and destroying the local agricultural foundation and industrial and commercial order, Li Zicheng would definitely not be willing to fight on two fronts.

Zhang Xianzhong's department has a lot of people, even if there are many people who are coerced, Li Zicheng still does not dare to despise it.

He took the only seventh battalion and the Fengtian battalion outside Wuchang City, and with the assistance of the naval army, crossed the Yangtze River, landed at the mouth of the Sanjiang River where Jushui and the Yangtze River meet, and entered the territory of Huangzhou Mansion.

Li Zicheng went all the way south, and when he passed by the capital city of Huangzhou, he did not have time to observe, but only caused a period of tension among the defenders in the city.

Hurried to Lanxi Town, Qishui County, and the rangers sent back a message that Sun Kewang, the forward of Zhang Xianzhong's department, took Guangji County and was besieging Qizhou!

Li Zicheng immediately accelerated the speed of the march, but he was silently muttering in his heart, hoping that Qizhou City could hold on for one more day. The army marched to Maoshan Town, with less than half a day's journey left, Li Zicheng learned that Qizhou had not yet been conquered, so he abandoned the infantry and led his own soldiers and nearly 2,000 cavalry battalions to cross Qishui and attack Qizhou.

Sun Kewang was attacking Dongcheng, but he didn't expect a cavalry to appear in the north, he was caught off guard, and after getting the information, he quickly took the army outside Dongcheng and rushed to the north of the city as quickly as possible.

Li Zicheng's own soldiers hung their rifles on horseback, and they all became ordinary cavalrymen, rushing straight to the rogue outside the north gate.

The rogue outside the north gate was suddenly frightened, and under the shouts of the officers, they abandoned the ladder for attacking the city and immediately moved closer together.

In front of the cavalry, it was impossible for them to escape, and they had to arrange a defensive formation, but they did not have a large chariot to deal with the cavalry, so they could only form a circular formation, in a vain attempt to rely on the collective strength to deal with the cavalry.

The rogues who attacked Beicheng, but more than a thousand people, less than the cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven Army, Li Zicheng pulled out his waist knife, and was about to rush up in person, He Xiaomi hurriedly grabbed Li Zicheng's horse reins, "The metropolitan governor is supervising the battle in the back, let the subordinates go down!" He shouted behind him: "Lu Yang, protect the Grand Duke!" ”

Lu Yang hurriedly agreed, and his own soldiers with two small flags guarded Li Zicheng's sides.

Li Zicheng glanced at Qizhou City in front of him, his heart didn't move, and he hurriedly said: "Xiaomi, put away the Kyushu military flag!" ”

Although He Xiaomi didn't understand what the Metropolitan Governor meant, he still did it, and then brandished his waist knife and shouted: "Brothers, kill, kill all these rogues!" ”

"Kill the Rogue!"

The pro-soldiers and the miscellaneous cavalry echoed, and the two thousand cavalry, nearly 10,000 horses' hooves, blew a terrifying whirlwind, blowing towards the circular formation of the rogues......

At the head of the north gate of Qizhou, Xu Wenqi, the deputy envoy of the Xiajiang Defense Road, stood at the battlement of the daughter wall, his brows wrinkled into a curved bow, where did this come from? Looking at the direction of their march, could it be reinforcements from Fucheng?

No, there can't be so many cavalry in Fucheng!

Could it be that it was a plan of the rogue, deliberately detouring to Qishui and pretending to kill from the north?

These cavalrymen seem to have arrived in a hurry, and they didn't even have a banner......

At this time, outside the northern city, the cavalry was rushing towards the infantry in formation.

The infantry temporarily planted a few spears upside down in front of the formation to deal with the galloping horses, but the circumference of the circular formation was too large, and they themselves knew that the cavalry could avoid these spears by turning in one direction, and there was no way, they put up their shields at the front of the cavalry charge at the request of the officers, as they did with archers.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Xu Wenqi could almost hear the sound of the war horse colliding with the shield, and after the impact, the cavalry quickly cut into the formation of the infantry, breaking through the formation, the sword flashed, the horse stepped on the stump, and the blood lines reflected a dazzling light......

"In front of the cavalry, the infantry is the target," General Mao Xianwen appeared behind Xu Wenqi, "My lord, should we go out of the city to respond?" ”

"Answer?" Xu Wenqi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Do you know where they are?" It doesn't seem that there are so many cavalry in Fucheng, right? ”

"Maybe it's the cavalry of Fucheng, or maybe the cavalry of Anlu," Mao Xianwen said: "Look at their flags, it's obviously a rush march!" ”

Xu Wenqi muttered: "An Lu's cavalry? He stared at the battlefield below the city and said, "Has General Mao ever thought that they may also be the cavalry of the Liukou?" ”

"The cavalry of the Rogues?" Mao Xianwen stared at the bloody scene and shook his head, "Impossible, my lord, you see, the ruthlessness of the cavalry slaughtering the infantry seems to be a revenge for eternity, and it has only been the time to sneeze, and it has been two back and forth, how many infantry have lost their lives......"

"Only in this way will the bitter meat plan be realistic," Xu Wenqi's brows, which had never been loosened, "and then attract us out of the city......"

"My lord, there are no less than a thousand rogues attacking the north gate, right?" Mao Xianwen said lightly: "In the blink of an eye, it will be completely annihilated, is it possible that the bitter meat plan of the rogue needs to pay the price of a thousand people?" After a pause, he said: "My lord, the last general said something that should not be said, that is, to break through the north gate of Qizhou, and the rogue will not have to suffer more than a thousand casualties, right?" ”

"This ......" Although he felt that Mao Xianwen was reasonable, Xu Wenqi still didn't want to open the city to attack, so he said: "No matter whose cavalry this is, since the rogue has been annihilated, there is no need for us to go out of the city!" ”

Mao Xianwen nodded, Xu Wenqi was right, since he had completely annihilated this group of rogues, there was no need for officers and soldiers to go out of the city to respond, but he soon found that something was wrong, a large group of rogues rushed over from Dongcheng.

Looking at the murderous appearance, it is obvious that the two sides are enemies.

After a while, the northwest corner also appeared in front of the rogue, and under the guidance of the officer, he also killed the cavalry.

He said worriedly: "My lord, something is wrong! ”

Xu Wenqi said lightly: "You mean that there are a lot of rogues?" ”

"Yes, my lord," Mao Xianwen said: "Although the cavalry has a great advantage over the infantry, it can't stand the large number of people, no accident, the rogue outside the southern city should also come over in a while!" ”

"Let's wait a minute!"

"My lord, they are dressed in the armor of officers and soldiers......"

"Among the rogues, is there still less armor among the officers and soldiers?"

At this time, the cavalry was divided, and about half of the cavalry turned their horses to face the rogues coming from the southwest corner, while the other half of the cavalry only stared at the rogues in front.

Mao Xianwen said strangely: "My lord, why don't the cavalry attack, isn't the biggest advantage of the cavalry their speed?" ”

Xu Wenqi said lightly: "Don't you see that the former army of the Liukou is all archers?" The cavalry has no shield, and rushing up at this time can only be a target for archers! ”

"That ......" Mao Xianwen did not finish speaking, the battlefield had changed, facing more than 1,000 cavalry in the northeast corner, they jumped on their horses, each pulled out a long stick like a fire gun from the horse, lined up, and faced the rogue who rushed over.

The rogues did not slow down at all, and they were about to fight hand-to-hand, when they suddenly heard a "bang, bang", and the rogues fell, and the fire guns in the hands of the cavalry were shrouded in a faint layer of white smoke.

"Could it be the legendary Boom?" Xu Wenqi muttered: "The range seems to exceed the bow and arrow, and the rogue has no chance to release the arrow at all!" ”

"It must be a puff!" Mao Xianwen couldn't help nodding, "Could it be the Beijing army in the past?" Except for the Liaodong Army, only they could be equipped with the Lu. ”

At this time, the other more than 1,000 cavalry had already launched an attack on the rogue in the northwest corner, but they had no shield, so they could only rely on the armor on their bodies to resist the arrows of the rogues.

In front of the arrows, the cavalry fell one after another, trampled into flesh by the horses' hooves, but the cavalry behind did not hesitate, but accelerated the speed of their horses.

Xu Wenqi and Mao Xianwen looked to the left and the right for a while, and in the northwest direction, the cavalry finally passed the death line and began to slaughter the infantry, while in the northeast direction, the Liukou were also defeated......

Mao Xianwen said with a gloomy face: "My lord, it must be the passing Jingshi army, we will not go out of the city to meet ......."

Two or three thousand people have already died, and it's definitely not a bitter trick! Xu Wenqi finally said: "General Mao, you take five hundred soldiers and go to solve the rogue in the northwest corner first, and the rogue outside the southern city should come over in a while!" ”
