Chapter 13 Don't Lose Your Faith Even in the Face of Adversity!

Just as Zhang Biwu was thinking about how he should be worthy of the people, another child cried, and he kept crying: "Daddy, why are we here!" Isn't it good for us to go home? It's so cold at night! The cold wind is swishing, and the camp can't stop it at all! It's cold! I want to go home! Go home! ”

Not only that, even if it is cold, because I am afraid that the fire will attract Qing soldiers, I have to endure it many times. After all, the scouts of the Qing soldiers are still scouting.

How can it be a well-built house and a warm kang? No wonder the child doesn't cling to it! I felt very cold.

But the child's father replied, "Call again!" Cry again! I'll hit you! Tell you bunny, Lord Zhentai is back, and we can go home soon! Don't cry anymore! ”

When the child saw his father raise his hand, he was scared and hid directly behind his mother. The mother squatted down, looked at the child, and said, "Good! Bear with me! The garrison is back, and it won't be long before we get home! As long as we get home, no one will be able to kick us out again! ”

Someone else said, "Yes! If it weren't for Lord Zhentai, we would have fed the fish in Kaifeng a long time ago! Lord Zhentai has the grace of regeneration for our 100,000 refugees in Kaifeng, we are willing to follow Lord Zhentai, follow Lord Zhentai will definitely be able to get a new life, and live a happy life when we did not suffer from military disasters in Kaifeng before! ”

"Yes! That's a good point! We all think so! Many people agreed, and they looked at Zhang Biwu with respect when they spoke.

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he turned away, because tears were rolling in his eyes. He really didn't know how to deal with these people. His fists became incredibly powerful!

Li Yan stepped forward. He said, "Brother-in-law, have you seen it?" With so many people, are you still worried that you can't make a comeback? ”

Xuan Jianhao said: "Lord, Li Gongzi is right! Now worry no more! Because Duoduo has been recalled to Beijing, Dolgon wants him to lead his troops to attack the Hongguang regime in Nanjing, and we can breathe! And the British prince Azig will lead his army north to attack Xi'an from outside the Saiwai, so as to avoid the danger of Tongguan! Let's take a break and don't see how many people there aren't many. But there are so many people with lofty ideals, and in time, they can train an elite army! ”

Zhang Biwu shook his head and said, "Believe it or not, it won't be long before Duoduo will come to Tongguan again, and at that time, he will send more people to investigate our situation!" We have to be careful! If we leak, the army of Duoduo and Azig will come to destroy us after breaking through Xi'an! We must let them start the war against Li Zicheng and Nanming, and this is the best chance of victory for us! ”

Li Yan: When they heard it, they were worried. However, what Li Yan wanted in his heart was to contain the Manchu Qing Dynasty and march towards Xi'an, but how could they have the strength? Li Yan also has only 5,000 people. And most of his Yudong disciples have died in battle, and many of them are new to him, these people are unreliable! The combat power is even lower! If there is a setback, they will quickly disperse!

And what about Zhang Biwu? There were only 2,000 soldiers who could fight, and it was impossible to contain the Manchus with such strength! It's tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!

The wind is very strong and the weather is very cold, but Zhang Biwu's heart is warm, although he has no hope for the future, but these people in front of him have ignited Zhang Biwu's enthusiasm! Right! Don't lose hope!

In this difficult time, each of them is encouraging each other, and they use it to keep warm, so as to ensure the existence of confidence and keep hope! Hope is there, everything is there!

What Zhang Biwu saw was that the men had all participated in the training, and they were lining up for drills! On the wide mountain terrain, there are people who are neatly shouting trumpets and practicing. Knives or swords, clubs or spears, their cries shook the valley.

Han Runchang said with a confident attitude: "Biwu, because almost all of our soldiers have been lost!" We can only train from the people who follow us, and I hope that we can train an elite soldier from more than 200,000 men, and if we choose one out of ten, there are 20,000 elite soldiers, and we can make a comeback again! ”

Zhang Biwu understands Han Runchang's heart, as long as there are people to follow, as long as there is enough time, he can train an elite army! But there is one point, will the Manchus give time for Zhang Biwu to train elite soldiers?

It can be seen that these people who participated in the drill were far less powerful than the Boy Scouts, after all, as long as they entered the Boy Scouts, military training became their daily course, and they had to train and train again every day! From a young age, when they grow up, everyone will become a good soldier! The Boy Scouts will also be an elite division!

"Lord Garrison will lead us to retake our homeland!" This is the shouting of the people who are practicing, and it can be seen that because of Zhang Biwu's safe return, they are very excited, and they are practicing more energetically than usual.

Hearing the shout, Zhang Biwu's heart became even heavier. Zhang Biwu was helpless: The original idea was to hold back the Manchus and prevent the Manchus from breaking through Xi'an, but now this can't be done, but it doesn't mean that all the games are lost, and Jiangnan! And there is also Li Zicheng's army! As long as Li Zicheng is not eliminated, everything can be done!

Zhang Biwu is waiting now, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback! He also made people hide everything about them, and the news of his death was also to spread out, so that the whole world would know the Tao, so as to confuse the Manchus.

Sure enough, the Manchu Qing Dynasty came to attack Tongguan, and Li Zicheng also deployed troops in Tongguan, and he took the initiative to attack when the red-coated artillery of the Qing army did not arrive.

The Dashun army lined up on the mountain, and the Qing army's forward generals Eshuo and Nushan were outflanked on the side. The commander of the protector army, Tulai, led more than 100 cavalry to break through from the front first, and Liu Zongmin, who was not fully wounded, led his headquarters to resist bravely, but he was still defeated.

Liu Fangliang led more than 1,000 people to rob the camp to win back a game, but he still failed! Li Zicheng came to the rescue, but was also defeated by the Qing army.

On the ninth day of the first month, the red-clothed artillery of the Qing army came! For the Dashun Army, this is a catastrophe! The red-clothed cannon beat the Dashun army so much that they couldn't raise their heads, and the dead bodies piled on each other.

The Eight Banners launched an attack on the position of the Dashun army, Li Zicheng personally led his army to resist stubbornly at the same time, he sent 300 cavalry to also think that he could give a fatal blow to the Qing army like Tulai, and also divided his troops like Eshuo and Nushan to detour the enemy, Li Zicheng was defeated one after another, and his heart was disturbed! The Qing army just used this trick some time ago, do you want to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth? You think Dordor is a fool! Naturally, it ended in failure!

In the unfavorable situation of the battle in Tongguan, although Li Guo claimed to be a wall, against the Ming army, it could make the Ming army unable to pass his iron wall, but this time it was no longer effective, no matter how heroic Li Guo was to resist the offensive of Azig and Wu Sangui, Jiang Jiu, etc., but in the end he was outnumbered and retreated.

When Gao Yigong heard the news of Li Guo's defeat and retreat, he gave up Yulin and retreated, so Chang'an was directly exposed to the iron hooves of the Qing army!

Li Zicheng had to give up Tongguan, so Ma Shiyao led 7,000 soldiers to defend Tongguan, and he himself led the main force to return to Chang'an, ready to give up Chang'an.

Li Zicheng is very painful to give up Chang'an, he understands that Chang'an is the capital of Dashun, and once he gives up, the political significance is very great, which is equivalent to half of the Dashun country! But what can be done? If you don't give up, you will be wiped out!

And Ma Shiyao in Tongguan is a fake surrender, but who is Duoduo? He didn't believe Ma Shiyao at all, and sent people to monitor Ma Shiyao, but Ma Shiyao's secret letter to contact Li Zicheng was seized by Duoduo's people. Duoduo pretended to ask Ma Shiyao to hunt but killed him, killing all 7,000 people without leaving any of them.

Dolgon and Duoduo all believed that as long as Zhang Biwu did not die, when they attacked Li Zicheng, Zhang Biwu would jump out and protect Li Zicheng, so as to promote the trend of resistance to the Qing Dynasty.

Now that Duoduo and Azig were advancing together, Li Zicheng's army was not an opponent at all, so they retreated from Chang'an to Shangzhou through Lantian to Nanyang to Huguang.

Li Zicheng did not act with Gao Guiying, because his confidence was very badly damaged in the face of the powerful Qing army, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the Qing army after he arrived in Huguang.

If he dies, with Gao Guiying here, he can still avenge him! Moreover, the people and horses in Gansu and other places are scattered, there must be someone to gather them, and bring these people and horses to Li Zicheng's side, Li Zicheng still has a strong army, he is not afraid of anyone! can also compete with the Qing army.

It would be even better if we could unite Nanming, especially Zuo Liangyu! It is a very good thing to be able to resist the Manchus! It is also the best strategy.

Zhang Biwu decided, even if the Qing army occupied Shaanxi and Henan, he had to hold back, unless the Qing army went south to pursue Li Zicheng, then he would be able to jump out, drag the Qing army behind the Qing army, and prevent the Qing army from eliminating Li Zicheng, so as to stop the progress of history, retain Li Zicheng, and prevent Li Zicheng from losing Jiugong Mountain in history, which will be a decisive change to the course of history!

Indeed, now there is really no way to do it except to do this! It's just that Zhang Biwu is still very worried, can he fight again? How strong is he?

The first battle of Song County defeated all his family resources, can he fight again?

But when Zhang Biwu saw so many people who trusted him and were still suffering in a difficult environment, he knew that he must persevere and succeed! Confidence cannot be lost, because with their support, then you have an infinite source of strength, and confidence will never be lost!

When Zhang Biwu saw Li Yan, Li Yan looked very painful, especially after constantly hearing the news that Li Zicheng was fighting against the Qing army and had withdrawn from Shaanxi, Li Yan was grief-stricken. (To be continued......)
