In the city of Caozhou, the task of pursuing in the dark night was handed over to Liu Zongmin, the general under his command, and Li Zicheng, who is now the leader of the Dashun Dynasty, naturally stayed under the city of Caozhou with the 30,000 Dashun troops who occupied Caozhou City under the consideration of safety.

He Jiajun took the initiative to assault and withdrew from Caozhou City, which also made the Dashun army unable to conquer Caozhou City for more than 20 days, and then changed hands tonight and easily fell into the hands of the Dashun army.

At this time, Li Zicheng, who occupied Caozhou City, was not the slightest happy, because their most important target had already left, so that their revenge psychology was empty talk, so after entering the city, Li Zicheng did not suppress the wanton plundering of his soldiers in the city, so they were chaotic.

For a while, Caozhou City, which was originally silent, suddenly became noisy after the Dashun army entered the city, and the heart-rending shouts of countless people in the city, accompanied by a high wail, became the main theme of Caozhou City tonight.

After the He Jiajun occupied the city of Caozhou, they had already prepared to abandon the city of Caozhou when necessary, so most of the people they brought and the people who had been relocated from the fortified Qingye of Caozhou's territory during these days were not settled in Caozhou City, but were placed in Jining Prefecture and the three or four county towns under its jurisdiction to the east.

Although this arrangement is extremely stressful for He Sanjiang and them for a long time, and the food supply they need is very huge, but fortunately, there are a lot of granaries hidden in the Hongmen base camp in the coastal area of Shandong, and it is okay for He Jiajun to occupy Caozhou, Jining and other places, and there is still no big problem in sheltering and relocating these people in a short time.

However, the people in Caozhou City were originally waiting for them, although He Sanjiang and they also launched a mobilization order, but their homeland is difficult to leave, and they are used to living in the city, and the people of Caozhou who can't endure the bitter cold life are still seven or eight out of ten people still stay in the city.

At this time, the people who stayed in the city regretted it in their hearts, knowing that there was such a catastrophe, they should have followed the instructions of He Jiajun and escaped from this city, and there would be no disaster today.

The disaster of the whole city has lasted for almost three days, at this time there is no one in the city who has survived, the homes of the rich gentry have been raided and exterminated, the ordinary people have been displaced and coerced by the FAW, the entire Caozhou city has been surrounded by more than 20 days, but finally ushered in the result of being poisoned, the scene is really terrifying.

The Dashun army, which pursued the He family's army, returned unexpectedly, and the army, which was also dominated by infantry, once again ended in the defeat of the Dashun army.

Among them, the 3,000 cavalry of the He Jiajun are naturally indispensable to the fact that they have been harassing the main force of the Dashun Army, but it cannot be denied that the He Jiajun has inherited many excellent training measures from Hongmen, and the improvement of non-combat effectiveness has also brought many advantages to the He Jiajun.

The Dashun army thought that they were born with mud legs, and their advantage in foot distance never needed to be exercised, but when they really needed a battle in foot distance, they were really not as good as leaving behind the He family army who trained in a rapid march every half a month.

After two days of pursuit, Liu Zongmin had to let the army retreat back and join Li Zicheng's army in Caozhou City after an ambush on the retreat road.

Li Zicheng originally wanted to continue to attack the remaining territory of the He Jiajun in Jining Prefecture, but at this time, his Dashun intelligence system brought an important piece of information, forcing him to suspend the operation of continuing the march and prepare to return to the division instead.

For a long time, Sun Chuanting's Ming army on the north bank of the Yellow River sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, watching the battle between the army of the Dashun Dynasty and the army of the He family, and did not make the slightest move, and the reason was unknown without asking.

It's just that as the He Jiajun showed amazing combat power, the Dashun army was in Caozhou City for more than a month, and the Dashun army suffered a lot of casualties, which made Sun Chuanting's department begin to have other ideas.

And as Caozhou City unexpectedly fell into the hands of the army of the Great Shun Dynasty, Sun Chuanting was also unable to sit still.

Seeing that the two divisions of Dashun and He Jiajun were fighting each other, the Ming Dynasty army was very happy to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but in the long run, after serving the Ming Dynasty, waiting for the He Jiajun to serve the Ming Dynasty, on the south bank of the Yellow River, as an important help to restrain the Dashun army from continuing to covet the southeast, Sun Chuanting and they could not watch them be completely wiped out by the Dashun army.

Therefore, as the city of Caozhou changed hands to the Dashun army, Sun Chuanting on the north bank of the Yellow River began to make moves at night, frequently sending teams to cross the Yellow River, cruising between important towns such as Luoyang and Kaifeng, and it seemed that he wanted to raise troops to move south.

Dashun's attack on the rebellious army of the He family army this time is six or seven out of ten troops of the Dashun Dynasty, and the army remaining in the territory of Dashun is only three or four out of ten, defending the border of the Yellow River and other important towns, which is naturally a little stretched.

The hatred in his heart is of course important, but compared with the great cause of the thousand years, Li Zicheng is very clear in his heart, so after learning about the movements of the Ming army, Li Zicheng had to start thinking about the withdrawal of troops.

Who would have thought that the army that was originally full of confidence to attack the division and rebellion of the He Jiajun was not expected to be like this, not only did it lose a lot of troops on its own side, but also failed to achieve its goal and wiped out the He Jiajun in one fell swoop.

After leaving the general Liu Zongmin and 50,000 soldiers in Caozhou City, Li Zicheng left with the remaining nearly 200,000 troops.

At this time, Li Zicheng regretted a little, he let the soldiers under his command after capturing Caozhou City, so that Caozhou City, which now belongs to the territory of the Great Shun Dynasty, became an empty city of poverty and whiteness, making Caozhou Dibei consume itself.

Even the most serious problem is that the remnants of Caozhou and other people are all very hostile to the Dashun army that occupies Caozhou City, and the look in their eyes is eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood, which makes the soldiers of the Dashun Dynasty who are alone feel cold in their backs, but because of the strength of the Dashun army, the people have to suppress it hard.

After more than 20 days of siege, the perimeter wall of Caozhou City is also full of holes, and the defense strength needs to be repaired urgently, but with the materials brought by Dashun and the lack of local labor, it is a long and arduous process to repair.
