"Well, the people of my Beihua County just happened to converge with the people of your Nanli County, otherwise I wouldn't know that you are here to resist the Donglin Miscellaneous Pieces!"

The two generals gathered in a word, and after rescuing their own injured soldiers, they hurriedly retreated to Beiping.

When the Eagle Cavalry Warrior intercepted Zhuang Li and withdrew his order, Yin Dongli was furious: "These Xia people dare to kill me Donglin, it's really bold!" ”

"Lord Cavalry, an hour ago, our sentry cavalry returned from the investigation, Yuyang County, Beihua County, and Nanli County were all empty, so it can be seen that these Xia people are going to fully retreat to Beiping!"

"Retreat to Beiping? Hum... A small city, how can you stop my Donglin warrior Tianwei! ”

Yin Dongli was arrogant, but the deputy general whispered: "Lord Cavalry, these three counties are separated, it is indeed not Erer, but the three counties work together in Beiping, and thousands of summer soldiers defend the city, our vanguard army is cavalry, there is no siege weapon, and if you want to break through Beiping for a while, it is really troublesome!" ”

Hearing this, Yin Dongli reacted, this time General Dari sent him as the vanguard, in order to go all the way and set up the prestige of the Donglin Army.

Thinking of this, Yin Dongli pondered for a moment and said, "How far is Beiping from this?" ”

"Less than one hundred and twenty miles!"

"What about the people of the three counties?"

"It's still about ninety miles away from Beiping!"

Yin Dongli estimated it and said urgently: "Order all the small cavalry, all the light cavalry and eagle cavalry warriors to attack immediately, be sure to catch up with the people of the three counties, slaughter half of them, destroy them and retreat to Beiping, and take advantage of the opening of the city gate in Beiping to capture the city in a battle!" ”

Beiping City.

After Zhou Gongyuan issued the order for the three counties to retreat from the city, he also called on the young Zhuang in Beiping to join hands to defend the city, but Beiping is located in a remote area, and the young Zhuang are even rarer, after some mobilization, but there are four thousand young people who are willing, but Zhou Gongyuan knows that it is okay to let these people help carry the blade, let them fight against the well-prepared Donglin Army, it is just an egg hitting a stone.

"My lord, there is news from the three counties, they have retreated the people and rushed to Beiping, but there are many old and weak, and the march is slow, so the southern county will leave Zhuang Li and ask the lord to send a car to answer!"

The sentry rider came to report, and Zhou Gongyuan was upset when he heard it: "There are tens of thousands of old and weak people in the three counties combined, and they use cars to answer them, and they are sorry for what Zhuang Li wanted!" ”

However, in the final analysis, Zhou Gongyuan, as a senior official in the North Square Circle, really can't abandon those Xia people in the wartime crisis. So, Zhou Gongyuan ordered the squires and fame of Beiping to requisition all their carriages and ox carts, and let the general leave in a hurry with 300 soldiers and armor to meet the old and weak people.

On the way to Beiping, Zhuang Li looked at the team of people who were as slow as ants, and he was impatient.

"If it doesn't go on like this, the Donglin people will definitely chase after it!"

"It's better for us to gather the soldiers of the three counties and ambush here, with the beating nature of the Donglin people, we will definitely be caught off guard, so it can be delayed for a day, this is only ninety miles away from Beiping, and one day is enough for Beiping to come to the rescue!"

Yuyang Lieutenant Liang Chenghao suggested that Zhang Shang and Zhuang Liyi combined, which is quite reasonable, but it is difficult to choose who stays to lead the troops to resist, after all, the three of them know that whoever stays means who will enter the situation of nine deaths and one life.

After a moment of silence, Liang Chenghao laughed: "Two, this suggestion was made by a certain person, and it is naturally up to a certain person to resist the Donglin miscellaneous pieces... So, please ask the two generals to have the remaining soldiers..."

Without the words landing, Zhuang Li said: "Captain Liang, this big task of resisting should have me from Beihua County!" If the reason for the wheel, in this official rank, I am the general, and I am half a level higher than the two of you, so the two... Order now! ”

At the head of Beiping City, when the morning sun receded into the night, Zhou Gongyuan couldn't help but look into the distance, but there was no figure in the gray wilderness, at this time it was already a full day and night since he sent a car driving team, just when Zhou Gongyuan lamented in his heart, the car driving team sent before actually appeared, look at this, Zhou Gongyuan was overjoyed.

"Quick, it's the people of the three counties who have withdrawn!"

After that, Zhou Gongyuan sent people out of the city to respond, and when Zhang Shang and Liang Chenghao saw Zhou Gongyuan, they directly said urgently: "My lord, the general of Beihua County is independently resisting the Donglin people, please send troops to rescue as soon as possible!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Gongyuan's face sank: "Sending troops to rescue, it is easy to say, the total number of troops in Beiping City is only 4,000, plus 4,000 young and strong, such a weak soldier, how to resist Donglin is already a big problem..."

"But..."Liang Chenghao was anxious, but Zhou Gongyuan had already cut off his words: "You two hurry up and enter the city with the people, prepare to defend the city, if the official's estimate is right, before tonight, the Donglin people will be killed!" ”

Deserted path, Zhuang Li and more than a dozen horsemen rushed to the road, behind them, dozens of Donglin eagle cavalry warriors in hot pursuit, although Zhuang Li gathered three county soldiers to resist the Donglin people, but Donglin people are strong, he fought desperately, and it dragged on all night, now, Zhuang Li escaped by the time of the night battle, but the eagle cavalry warriors were like chains, staring at Zhuang Li, half an hour, Zhuang Li fled when he fought, only tired half of his death.

At this time, Zhuang Li's mount suddenly neighed and lay on the horse, Zhuang Li was shocked, dared to love the mount tired all night, lost his strength and let go, after the blink of an eye, Zhuang Li fell off the horse, and the eagle cavalry warrior was overjoyed to see it, and won Zhuang Li in one fell swoop.

After escorting Zhuang Li in front of Yin Dongli, Yin Dongli said: "You Xia people can really fight!" ”

"Donglin beast, if you want to kill or chop, hurry up, if you let the master get a chance, be careful of the dog's life!"

"What a big breath, someone, cut off one of his ears!"

The order was issued, and the two Donglin warriors stepped forward to copy the knife and cut off Zhuang Li's right ear, which only made Zhuang Li's painful eyes split. At the end, Yin Dongli said: "With this Xia general and other Xia prisoners, we will rush to Beiping with all our might!" ”

The middle army of the Bei'an army, Lin Xiu galloped fast, at the speed of their march of three hundred miles a day, at this time the middle army of the Bei'an army has marched to the boundary of Fengcheng in Dongzhou, and there are more than four hundred miles away from Beiping, although they have marched fast enough, but the battle situation has changed rapidly, the northern barbarians have already moved south, and the Donglin people are only sooner or later, after thinking for a while, Lin Xiu said to Lin Sheng: "Brother Sheng, if the army arrives, I am afraid that the Donglin people have already broken through the battle of Beiping and entered the boundary of Fengcheng!"

"Ah Xiu, what do you mean?"

Lin Sheng was suspicious, Lin Xiu said: "I ordered each battalion to draw good horses, and your righteous scale cavalry, to ensure that one person and three horses, but the starry night gallop transfer, if it goes well, you can reach Beiping tonight, if you meet the Donglin people, be sure to fight a surprise attack, in one fell swoop to defeat their vanguard army, if not, then rest on the spot, explore in all directions, and wait for the arrival of the army!" ”
