The confrontation with the volunteers in Lizhou for more than a month, Haoge complained of unspeakable suffering, Lizhou is close to the Qinling Mountains and Hanzhong, and the high mountains and deep ravines are endless, which is conducive to foot combat and not conducive to cavalry combat.

Although the main force of the Tartars reached 50,000 in turns, although the strength was superior, the loss of troops in this month was lost, and the morale of the whole army was extremely low.

Although there are eight banners in Mongolia and Mongolia, the green battalion has been defeated in successive battles, and now people are panicking.

What's even more annoying is that at night, Yang Lin not only sent a sabotage team to attack and harass the opponent's camp, but also organized four battalion-level night raids this month.

In addition, the most worrying thing is the situation in Hanzhong, the food in the army, and the safety of the grain road.

After more than ten days of fierce battles to gain a firm foothold in the south of Lizhou, in the face of nearly 50,000 troops around Lizhou, Yang Lin sent troops and horses to destroy its grain route and force the other party to divide his troops.

Why? Yang Lin gathered all the soldiers and horses that could be gathered, the front-line volunteers were only 2 cavalry regiments, 8 infantry regiments, 3 militia regiments, plus the water army, even if the logistics were strengthened, there were only 30,000 people, compared with the Qing army, the volunteers could be said to be few soldiers.

Volunteers can be transported to the front line in a steady stream through the navy, but the Tartars are completely different.

It is not the right way for the Tartars to cramp a corner of Lizhou, not to mention anything else, 50,000 soldiers and horses consume 1,500 quintals of grain every day, and they have already eaten by now.

Years of war, coupled with the destruction of the Liukou Tartars, and the brutality of some officials and soldiers, there was a food shortage in some places in Sichuan.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Lizhou was first a place where the Great Western Army was heavily garrisoned, and then Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Ronggui also led troops to be stationed here.

At present, there are 50,000 Manchu troops stationed in the surrounding area, and the daily food consumption is 1,500 quintals (the food consumption of a war horse is close to five people).

But the Tartars retreated thousands of miles away, and although they had plundered too much grain in the past, they had now lost all of it.

In order to ensure the military needs of the army, the Tartars had to transport grain and grass from Hanzhong for 400 miles through the Golden Bull Road, and the mountains and mountains were high along the way, and the rear was very unsafe.

After gaining a firm foothold, Yang Lin sent troops and horses to destroy the Tartar grain route, making it even more difficult for him to rack his brains.

In order to protect the grain route, Haoge racked his brains and successively sent Belenikan and the general soldier Gao Minzhan to garrison Chaotianmen and Qiangyi Prefecture, but the grain route was still cut off from time to time, and the army often faced the threat of food shortage.

After a month of fighting, the originally ambitious Manchu Yanxi County King Luo Luohun, Bel Mandahai and others had no vigor for the day, and they were powerless in the face of the volunteers outside the city.

Other Ming troops are mostly guards, or come to catch strong men, but the volunteers are completely different, their main force comes from the field villager, from the local tyrants, the rogue soldiers and generals, and the morale of everyone in the face of the Tartars is high, unlike the Ming army in the past.

In addition, that is a good pension system, because of the rectification of local government officials, coupled with the establishment of township offices, can be placed on the battlefield meritorious personnel, to solve everyone's worries.

Under these circumstances, the morale of the whole army of the Volunteer Army is high, and coupled with the establishment of a new military system in the past few days, the strength of the Volunteer Army is far above that of the Green Battalion.

Now Yang Lin looked at the distant city, waiting for the opportunity for the other party to make a mistake.

By mid-February, Haoge could no longer sit still, leaving Luo Luohun and Bel Mandahai, the kings of Yanxi County, to occupy Lizhou, keep the gateway to Sichuan, and personally lead the army to retreat into Hanzhong.

After hearing the news, Yang Lin was overjoyed, and immediately launched a counterattack, ordering Liao Qifang, the deputy general of the Fourth Regiment, to lead his troops to attack Chaotianmen, and only one day to defeat the Qing army entrenched here and control the gateway to Sichuan.

Uncle Shi rest assured, my father has already sent a letter to Governor Yang Lin, as long as Uncle Shi raises troops against the Qing Dynasty and restores the Ming Dynasty, everything will be fine. ”

Zhao Ronggui shook his head and said, ""

Yang Lin was slightly stunned, and was about to answer, when he suddenly saw a scout come to report that Zhao Ronggui had sent an envoy to the front of the camp and was about to discuss the matter of returning to Shun.

Forced by Haoge and Liu Jinzhong, Zhao Ronggui led his troops to Shun Manchu Qing, and then was ordered to lead his troops to attack Long'an Mansion.

Zhao Ronggui was shocked, and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss the matter, and his nephew Zhao Desheng advocated that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was brutal, and there was no eternal age, and everyone should protect Sangzi since they were Sichuan people.

The sudden rise of the Volunteers is even more highly anticipated, and everyone has worked together under the account of Governor Chen Shiqi in the past.

Zhao Ronggui couldn't make a decision for a while, but he still led the soldiers and horses to gallop to help Baizhang Pass, and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the volunteers occupied the dangerous pass ten miles outside the pass, and sent an envoy to discuss the matter of returning to Shun.

This was the first army to take the initiative to submit to his own troops, after receiving the news, Yang Lin was overjoyed, and reorganized his department into the 12th Regiment, making Zhao Ronggui the chief soldier, and his nephew Zhao Desheng as the 12th Regiment Division.

Early in the morning of the first day, the sky was full of fog, and no one could be seen four or five meters away.

At the risk of exploding, the gunner stuffed the shells into the bore and fired them into the distance.

By noon, the fog gradually dissipated, and it was clearly visible in the distance, in order to break through the cottage in the distance, the regiments involved in tackling the fortified positions also launched their own Franc machine guns, so that the guns and cannons in front of them were loud, and the whole gate fell into a scourge.

In the firelight, under the cover of birds, bows and arrows, Liao Qifang led his soldiers to carry the ladder to the pass one by one to prepare to attack the dangerous pass.

In order to prevent the counterattack of the people and horses on the border, the soldiers Ding Duo wore two layers of armor, held a huge shield in front of him, and continued to rush up along the ladder.

Hauge stood in front of the pass in full armor, strictly ordering the 5,000 green battalion soldiers and horses around him to guard the dangerous pass, and behind him, Bellenikan and Dingyuan general Heluohui led 1,000 Manchurian iron cavalry and 1,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, as well as the 5,000 remnants of Li Guoying, who had just retreated to Baizhang Pass.

After the defeat of the Great Western Army, Li Guoying and Dingyuan General Heluo Hui led their troops to pursue the remnants of the Great Western Army, and after chasing into the territory of Tongchuan Prefecture, they were intercepted by the local militia group, and fought for more than 20 days.

Seeing that Pengxi County was in sight, after suddenly hearing the news of the defeat of the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty under Haoge, they were shocked, Li Guoying and Heluohui led their troops to retreat all the way north, and there were many deserters along the way, so the soldiers and horses of the green battalion were only half of the original, but now the soldiers are so tired that it is difficult to fight for a long time.

In order to cheer everyone up, Haoge told everyone that the general soldier Zhao Ronggui led the troops to capture Long'an Mansion, and now he is leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to gallop to the aid of the starry night
