Where will the Qing army choose as the target of the next attack, Hong Chengchou looked at the map and was silent, and You Shilu, who had been standing behind him, suddenly spoke.

"Strange! Almost all of the previous Tatars have carried out strategic maneuvers centered on my Ming Jingshi, and this time it seems to be different! ”

The speaker had no intention, the listener had a heart, Hong Chengchou immediately suddenly, his finger on the map along Yingzhou, Hunyuan Prefecture all the way to the south through the Pingxing Pass, and then swept over Daizhou, Xinzhou, and finally fixed on the location of Taiyuan City, and pointed twice.

It turned out that the ultimate goal of the Qing army was Taiyuan, and it was Li Xin! This made Hong Chengchou puzzled, how could Li Xin and He De be worthy of their such a big fight? However, once the intentions of the Qing army were clear, Hong Chengchou immediately made a decision, he must reach the line of Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass before the Qing army, limit the activities and destruction of the Qing army to the three passes, and must not let them break into Taiyuan Mansion.

Otherwise, after this battle, it is not difficult to imagine his fate, Shanxi is the top priority of the imperial court's management, and its capital Taiyuan is known as the first important town on the nine sides, and it is the largest and most prosperous city in the entire north except for Beijing.

Hong Chengchou sent hundreds of fast horses to send letters and warnings to the passes of the three inner passes, hoping to be in time. At the same time, he also decided to completely take down the suspicious army outside the acropolis, and then waved his army south, waiting for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the cunning Qing army.

At the same time that Hong Chengchou made up his mind to fight a decisive battle, the offensive and defensive battle of the Acropolis had already reached a fever pitch. Qian Tai was ready for the city to be destroyed, he carried a dagger with him, as long as the war was irreparable, this was his fate!

Another group of Qing troops attacked the city, although he was weak, but also carried a Ming Dynasty Yanling knife, with the guards killed together, the right arm has almost lost its strength, as if poured lead, every swing as if to exhaust the strength of a lifetime.

"Kill me! It's a big deal, and you're still a hero twenty years later! ”

Before he finished shouting, two sharp steel knives slashed over, and the soldiers around him were quick to block the Yanling knife, so that no blood was splashed on the spot. Qian Tai finally reacted and rolled on the spot, but not backwards but forwards. At the same time, the Yanling knife in his hand swung out vigorously. Suddenly, Qian Tai only felt that his face was hot and damp, and his eyes were full of blood red, and several Tartar soldiers threw themselves to the ground, screaming and wailing. After swinging the knife, he felt his feet grabbed tightly, and he jerked backwards.

With a few clanging sounds, the steel knives and spear tips of the Qing army all poked into the hard rammed earth city wall, and before Qian Tai could wipe the sweat and blood on his face, the Qing army launched another wave of fierce attacks......

Qian Zhenfu's fearless appearance greatly inspired the soldiers in the city, and with the narrow passage in the city, with the advantage of numbers and geographical advantages, the Qing army was once again forced to retreat.

As the sun set, the red glow smeared a palpitating color on the mottled walls of the town guards, and the day finally passed again, but when was the end.

Qian Tai stretched out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, his eyes were full of hope, and he looked south again and again in despair, Niu Dan and Shi Datuo had been going south for a few days, and it was said that they should have come back with reinforcements from Chaoyang Fort, but there was no movement until now, so it was hard to guarantee that there was no accident!

"Zhenfu, didn't the Xuanfu army of Hongbutang come a long time ago? Why don't you come to relieve us until now? ”

Qian Tai was not an ordinary soldier, and when he heard that Hong Chengchou had led a large army to relieve the siege, he did have hope. However, he soon realized that Hong Chengchou's troops, the Zhenwei might not be able to count on them. Although it was just a private speculation, he came to a conclusion that made his heart tremble.

Hong Chengchou obviously planned to sit back and watch the fall of the Zhenwei before attacking again, so as to recover the lost territory and defeat the Qing army with one stone. Therefore, he had already given up hope for Hong Chengchou long before he sent Niu Dan and Shi Datuo.

Don't? Suddenly, a strange idea popped up in Qian Tai's heart, but he subconsciously shook his head again, impossible, impossible, that person is at most sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, so he won't make some despicable and dirty hands and feet behind his back, right?

It's just that the more Qian Tai tries his best to drive this idea out of his mind, the more this thought takes root in his mind. At the same time, all sorts of terrible ideas are pouring in. Faced with all the predicaments in front of him, this official, who led the Acropolis to hold on for countless days and nights, fell into deep despair. He was helpless, and early tomorrow morning, as long as the Qing army attacked again, he was not sure that he would take the weak soldiers in the city to hold on to this ruined castle.

Hong Chengchou was also surprised and shocked in his heart, just now there was a report from the Malay, the Qing army attacked and broke through the Bauhinia Pass, and he had to give up the plan to encircle and annihilate the Qing troops outside the Acropolis, and instead led his troops to gallop to the Bauhinia Pass.

Bauhinia Pass fell, the erosion of the war in the Xuan War may not be hidden, out of the Bauhinia Pass Daming Jingshi will face the Tartar soldiers, the court will soon get the warning, and then the Jingshi will be all the way to the fast horse messengers who are holding the edict of the king of diligence in all directions, which I am afraid there is also his Hong Chengchou......

At this time, Hong Chengchou regretted it a lot, he thought that their eyes were on Li Xin, but who knew that they were still going to Jingshi after going around a big circle, he was really smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and he was even a little dissatisfied with You Shilu's misdirection to him.

Hong Chengchou didn't want to think about it anymore, no matter what, as long as he still had the power of Xuanda's army, he would have a chance to turn the tables, not to mention that there was a trump card in his hand, that is, the Hangning Iron Cavalry that Sun Chengzong had trained again.

You Shilu's 10,000 Guanning army is not a vegetarian, he merged all the cavalry of Xuanfu with the Guanning iron cavalry, and led them all the way to Zijing Pass, preparing to drag the Qing army to the Ming Jingshi!

However, by the time Hong Chengchou traveled non-stop day and night and arrived at Zijing Pass, Zijing Pass had already become a ruin, and the entire Guancheng was destroyed. And once again, they lost the news of the Qing army's advance route. Although Hong Chengchou realized that he was being led by the nose step by step by this Qing army, he was helpless and had to follow their footsteps and run for his life.

Tan Ma sa went out within a radius of dozens of miles, and still did not get the slightest information from the Qing army, Hong Chengchou no longer doubted the Qing army's combat intentions this time, they must have gone to the Beijing division, no matter what repeated I am afraid that they will be suspicious soldiers.

"The whole army will go north and rush to the aid of the Beijing Division!"

After Hong Chengchou gave an order, tens of thousands of cavalry didn't even care about resting, and rolled north. Hong Chengchou was worried, and he couldn't wait to fly to the city of Daming Jingshi, if the Qing army was allowed to arrive first, his future would probably be over. This time, the Qing army entered the Kou, traveled to many places, and went to the defense area under the jurisdiction of the governor of Xuanda, and he had no excuse to get rid of the guilt.

As the night deepened, Zhu Youzhen, the eldest son of the Great Tomorrow, was gently aroused by the little eunuch, and immediately realized that there was an extremely strict incident happening, otherwise these eunuchs, who usually didn't dare to breathe in front of him, didn't have the courage to wake themselves up from their sleep.

Sure enough, Wang Chengen came tremblingly in front of Zhu Youzhen, and at the same time, the little eunuch warmed the porridge and brought it up, but he impatiently sent the little eunuch away.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Bauhinia Pass has been captured by the Eastern Captives, and the old slave estimates that it won't take long to arrive...... Jingshi is in a hurry......"

Zhu Youzhen intuitively felt that his eyes were dark, his body shook a few times and then he was shaky, the little eunuchs around him were quick to help, and they hurriedly held the emperor up, and a group of little eunuchs were in a hurry and planned to come up to help, but they were reprimanded by Wang Chengen. Zhu Youzhen was fine, but he was in a trance, and his consciousness immediately regained consciousness and stood up straight again.

Just after the third watch in the middle of the night, in the inner city of the Ming Jingshi, the horse team and convoy came and went frequently, and some people were awakened by this sudden movement, and they peeked carefully that it was the cabinet scholars who entered the palace late at night. The people living in the inner city were either rich or noble, and they were inextricably linked with the court, and the changes in the situation involved honor and disgrace, and soon this unusual scene fermented and heated up under the cover of night, until it boiled.

It is indeed unusual for important ministers to enter the palace in the middle of the night, and there have been precedents in the past and it is a great event such as the death of the emperor. But there are still people who are calm, thinking that the chaos is unlikely to come from within, and it is very likely that it comes from outside the Jingshi.

Another speculation is also about to come out, the battle of Xuanda has escalated and eroded, Hong Chengchou's Xuanfu soldiers failed to stop the Qing army, and the war was once again burned to the Beijing Division. This kind of speculation and did not land, and there was a fast horse army that went straight to the Forbidden City, which made people even more worried!

Several times of tossing, so that the Ming Jingshi, who should have been immersed in a deep sleep, fell into panic and uneasiness, and the people of the Jingshi under the cover of night once again became scared.

The important ministers of the Wenhua Palace gathered, the imperial dining room boiled up the porridge all night and served it steamingly, the emperor sympathized with his subordinates, and the old man was moved to tears, and thanked him again and again, but this warm scene did not last long, and it was broken by the Beijing camp emergency military report.

A large number of cavalry had already appeared ten miles southwest of the Jingshi, and the atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall suddenly became tense, and the originally steaming porridge suddenly could not arouse people's appetite. Several discussions had no result, and in the end they were inclined to immediately edict the king of the world.

However, the latest military report sent by the Beijing camp suddenly gave everyone confidence that Hong Chengchou led the Xuanfu army to the city of Beijing!
