When Wang Qiaonian learned that He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu were defeated, and led their respective subordinates around Xiangcheng and went to the direction of Luoyang, his hands and feet were suddenly cold, and he couldn't say a word.

Judging by their marching routes, they were definitely not going to attack Luoyang, but to go back to Shaanxi.

Wang Qiaonian didn't believe that they were going to attack Luoyang, and he hadn't taken Luoyang for half a month, so how could he take Luoyang with the defeat of their remaining remnants?

Unless the sow can climb the tree, the yellow dog will plow the field!

Wang Qiaonian did not scold the three general soldiers who fled, nor did he think about how to defend the city, but remembered the matter of the Li family's ancestral tomb, obviously he had killed the little green snake in the tomb, how could Li Zicheng still be so violent?

Did you find the wrong grave?

No, apart from Li Zicheng, whose ancestral grave is hiding a green snake?

The ancestral tomb of the Li family was found under the leadership of the local gentry and the common people, and it will never go wrong, so what is the problem?

Wang Qiaonian felt that his whole body was weak and collapsed on the chair behind him!

The guards made Wang Qiaonian a cup of hot tea, put it on the square table in front of him, and said carefully: "Master Inspector, the three commanders have left Xiangcheng, and the defenders in the city ...... The defenders are only 600 people, and the original city defense soldiers are less than 1,000 in total, so while the Heavenly Mandate Army has not yet besieged the city, your lord should withdraw overnight......"

"Withdraw?" Wang Qiaonian suddenly frowned, glared at his own soldiers, and said fiercely: "I won't withdraw, Xiangcheng is my grave!" ”

"Master Overseer......"

Wang Qiaonian waved his hand and let the soldiers go down, he closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair, and thought a lot in his heart for a while......

A red sun, in its usual way, rises from the east, and the surrounding is full of glow, red and red, but there is not much light, and it will not dazzle when seen by the naked eye.

Wang Qiaonian stood at the head of the east city, looking at the teams of soldiers in strange costumes, waving the military flag of nine stars to the city, and his heart trembled, yes, it is indeed the Mandate of Heaven Army.

Camouflage uniforms, Kyushu military flags, and neat steps!

Even the Ming army in Shaanxi will not be so neat, is it the decline of the imperial court, or the strong rise of the Mandate of Heaven Army?

It's only been a few years, how did the Mandate of Heaven Army develop into such a terrifying situation, Ding Qirui and Yang Wenyue were defeated, Zuo Liangyu was besieged in Yuncheng, and He Renlong and they were driven back to Shaanxi......

The small Xiangcheng is impossible to stop the pace of the Heavenly Mandate Army!

Li Zicheng really didn't take a fancy to Xiangcheng, He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu all ran away, and there were not many soldiers in Xiangcheng, nor much food.

Xiangcheng is not a strong city, and it may be taken at your fingertips.

Li Zicheng values one person - Wang Qiaonian, the governor of Shaanxi Trilateral!

Wang Qiaonian will definitely not be able to stay in the lonely city for long, as long as Xiangcheng is fenced off, Wang Qiaonian, who does not have many soldiers around him, will not be able to fly out with his wings.

The question is reinforcements, is there a Ming army to rescue this trilateral governor?

He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu are Wang Qiaonian's subordinates, did they really give up Wang Qiaonian? There is also Zuo Liangyu in Yuncheng, Wang Qiaonian went south to Xiangcheng, just to echo Zuo Liangyu and relieve the siege of Yuncheng for Zuo Liangyu, will Zuo Liangyu come to Xiangcheng to rescue Wang Qiaonian?

Reciprocate the favor, even if Zuo Liangyu does it for others to see, he has to come to Xiangcheng, right?

Whether you can save or not is strength, and whether you can come to rescue is attitude!

Wang Qiaonian has already been caught in Xiangcheng, if even Zuo Liangyu is served in one pot, it will be a big victory! Compared with Wang Qiaonian, Zuo Liangyu was even more of a disgusted enemy of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and he was actually slaughtering the city in Linying......

Li Zicheng only divided his troops to surround Xiangcheng, but he did not attack the city, and the soldiers rested in the camp.

Liu Zongmin asked to see Li Zicheng alone, "Governor, we have surrounded Xiangcheng, I heard that there are no more than 1,000 defenders in the city, and the city guards are still our people...... A subordinate asks to lead troops to attack the city! ”

After Li Zicheng sat Liu Zongmin down, he said with a smile: "Jiexuan, let your second regiment attack the city, how long will it take to capture the city gate?" ”

"One day at most," Liu Zongmin thought that Li Zicheng agreed to attack the city by him, but he was overjoyed, Liu Jianyi took the trilateral governor of the imperial court, Fu Zonglong, if he broke through Xiangcheng, he could capture the current trilateral governor Wang Qiaonian, and his military merits should not be under Liu Jianyi, "Don't worry, the subordinates use rifles, and the brothers will not have many casualties!" ”

"Attack the city with the most elite soldiers, I believe you can do this," Li Zicheng said: "But what about after taking Xiangcheng?" Capture Wang Qiaonian, and the battle will be over! ”

"Metropolitan Governor ......" Liu Zongmin was puzzled, isn't it good that the battle is over, the Mandate of Heaven Army withdrew from Kaifeng and ran for a long time, isn't it just for Zuo Liangyu? Thinking of Zuo Liangyu, he suddenly understood, "The majority of the governors kept Xiangcheng and didn't fight, in order to attract Zuo Liangyu?" ”

Li Zicheng's expression was a little helpless, he hadn't received Zuo Liangyu's message yet, and he didn't know if Zuo Liangyu had left Yuncheng, "I hope Zuo Liangyu won't give up Wang Qiaonian!" ”

There are more than 40,000 people in three battalions of the Mandate of Heaven Army, surrounding the small Xiangcheng, but there is no siege, Wang Qiaonian can't understand, what is this Li Zicheng going to do?

Although he was strictly fortified in the city, he knew that with more than 1,000 soldiers guarding the city, he would not be able to hold it at all, and it would only last for a few days.

A whole day was spent waiting, Li Zicheng waited for Zuo Liangyu's message, and Wang Qiaonian waited for the Heavenly Mandate Army to attack the city.

It wasn't until after dark that Li Zicheng combined the information from Li Xin and the Han Qing Bureau that he knew the exact situation in Yuncheng: Zuo Liangyu only sent 5,000 soldiers out of Xicheng and stationed them about ten miles away from Xicheng.

Zuo Liangyu: What is this doing?

Did he see the strategic intentions of the Providence Army, or was he too cautious?

Li Zicheng shook back and forth in the big tent three times, but he still had no idea, the key was that he didn't pay too much attention to Zuo Liangyu before, and he basically didn't understand Zuo Liangyu's character.

Now it seems too late for the Han Qing Bureau to collect Zuo Liangyu's information.

Li Zicheng faintly felt that something was wrong, it was difficult for Zuo Liangyu to follow the ideas designed by the Heavenly Mandate Army, he had fought with the main forces of rogues like Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai for a long time, and had accumulated rich battlefield experience, which was definitely different from Wang Qiaonian, a civilian official who "talked on paper".

Why did he garrison five thousand soldiers outside the West Side?

Xicheng, isn't Xicheng where Li Xin's ambush is?

Li Zicheng's heart moved, and he seemed to understand Zuo Liangyu's thoughts, these five thousand soldiers are probably in order to contain the ambush of the Heavenly Mandate Army outside the West City, and Zuo Liangyu's main force may have other plans......

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng understood.

The strategy of the Mandate of Heaven Army has always been based on "encirclement and reinforcement", counting on Zuo Liangyu's department, and even He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu's three divisions, to relieve Wang Qiaonian of Xiangcheng.

However, will they come to Xiangyang to relieve the siege?

On that day, Fu Zonglong was surrounded by the Mandate of Heaven army in Huojiaodian, and he did not wait for reinforcements, and finally broke through by himself and was captured by Liu Jianyi's troops.

If He Renlong and the others returned to help Wang Qiaonian, I am afraid that they would not have gone around the city last night, and they had already gone far, would they still come back? As long as He Renlong is not an idiot, he will not run these unjust roads.

He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu are Wang Qiaonian's descendants, and when the battle is unfavorable, they all leave Wang Qiaonian behind, can Zuo Liangyu definitely reinforce Wang Qiaonian?

Xiangcheng is just a lonely city, Wang Qiaonian has few soldiers around him, with Zuo Liangyu's temperament, is he putting himself and the whole army in danger for the sake of the governor of the three sides?

Even if the Shaanxi soldiers and the Huguang soldiers had an agreement, now I am afraid that they will have to change their combat deployment, He Renlong and the others have fled, and the plan of flanking the Heavenly Mandate Army before and after can no longer be realized.

Zuo Liangyu left 5,000 soldiers outside Xicheng, he must be covering the main force and it is difficult to escape!

Li Zicheng finally understood Zuo Liangyu's thoughts, but Xiangcheng and Yuncheng are separated by one hundred and twenty miles, even if the infantry advances at full speed, it will take a day and a half, and by the time reinforcements are sent here, Zuo Liangyu may have already returned to Huguang.

If Zuo Liangyu wants to go back to Huguang's nest, it is impossible to take the official road of Xiangcheng and Nanyang, and he must take Xinyang Prefecture to enter Huguang, which is the closest official road......

What to do?

Li Zicheng quickly sorted out his thoughts and immediately made a series of decisions.

First of all, he used a fast horse to tell Li Xin that Zuo Liangyu was likely to flee south, and the 5,000 Ming army outside Xicheng was only after the main force was broken, so he should attack decisively, and he couldn't wait for Zuo Liangyu to advance westward, and the Song Ministry of Culture had rushed to Yuncheng to assist the independent battalion in pursuing Zuo Liangyu.

Secondly, the flying pigeon sent a letter to Yang Chenhu's division of the fourth regiment of the seventh battalion in Yangzhou, preparing to intercept Zuo Liangyu's southward movement, and the independent battalion and the seventh battalion had already pursued ......

After the two pieces of information were transmitted, Li Zicheng summoned Song Wen and asked him to take the two regiments of the headquarters and immediately set off to Yuncheng to reinforce Li Xin's department and encircle and suppress Zuo Liangyu.

He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu have already gone far, and it is impossible to chase them back, and the target of the Heavenly Mandate Army can only be turned to Zuo Liangyu's department, and Zuo Liangyu's behavior in slaughtering the city in Linying must be punished.

However, Li Zicheng was still a little worried about He Renlong, so he sent a large number of rangers to the northwest to reach out hundreds of miles away, and at the same time, he also asked all parts of Luoyang Mansion to report He Renlong's movements at any time.

On February 16, the last message came out from the direction of Yuncheng, Zuo Liangyu's 5,000 soldiers left outside the city were almost completely annihilated, but Zuo Liangyu had secretly moved south, although the Yang Chenhu Division of the Fourth Regiment of the 7th Battalion attacked with all its strength and intercepted and killed many Ming troops, but Zuo Liangyu was still under the escort of Huguang soldiers, broke through Xinyang Prefecture and entered the territory of Huguang.

Li Zicheng did not blame Yang Chenhu, his subordinates only had 4,000 households, and the training time was not long, and it was indeed unrealistic to completely intercept Zuo Liangyu's 25,000 soldiers

Yang Chenhu's interception in Xinyang Prefecture was mainly to hit Zuo Liangyu's morale, so that Zuo Liangyu understood that the Heavenly Mandate Army had already targeted him, and as long as there was an opportunity, he would definitely go all out to intercept and kill.

Zuo Liangyu fled back to Huguang, and will not return to Henan for the time being, Li Zicheng's next target, naturally Xiangcheng, Xiangcheng is really a big fat meat, although there are three governors in the city, Wang Qiaonian, but there are less than a thousand soldiers to defend the city.

Li Zicheng besieged the city on the one hand, and handed over the main attack task to Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin knew that the governor of the capital was giving him military merits, so he made a package ticket: break the city in one day.
