After the deer were captured, the cavalry finally saw the light of day.

The wide road and the mountains are completely different, and in front of you is a fertile field, and such a plain is the world of cavalry.

It has been a long time since the horses have galloped, and both the horses and the people have endured it for a long time, and with Zhou Huchen's order, the dragon-like cavalry roared and started.

The speed of the cavalry was extremely fast, but unfortunately, more than twenty miles east of the deer was the Hutuo River, and now the Hutuo River had become an obstacle. Li Zicheng was obviously very uneasy, before leaving, he seemed to be afraid of the pursuers sent by Zhou Yuji, and when he left, Li Zicheng's soldiers had already destroyed the nearby bridge.

It is unrealistic to rebuild a pontoon bridge, and Zhou Huchen does not have that time, but fortunately, Li Zicheng is in a hurry, and he can't look down on the surrounding small villages, and the people are very limited. Under the scout's questioning, one of the people offered a place to walk thirty miles downstream along the Hutuo River, where there was also a large pontoon bridge.

For the cavalry, thirty miles was not a problem at all, and with a wave of Zhou Huchen's hand, five thousand iron horsemen began to run along the Hutuo River.

At noon, the cavalry that had crossed the Hutuo River turned to Xinle, where Zhou Huchen was once again convinced that Li Zicheng was hungry, and very hungry. The entire village and town in Xinle were looted, and the corpses of ordinary people were seen from time to time on the way.

The information left behind by the corpses shows that these thieves did not go for a few days, when Zhou Huchen led the cavalry to Xinle County, one of the famous birthplaces of Chinese civilization was already devastated, and countless scattered corpses were left unattended. Xinle County was captured, and the city was slaughtered, because Zhou Huchen saw the corpses of some officials and soldiers, although there were not many, but it showed that the officials of Xinle County still resisted.

Anger and gnashing of teeth are useless, Zhou Huchen knows that he will see many more scenes like this, if it weren't for the existence of Zhou Huchen, Ning Wuguan would have actually become like this. After withdrawing from Xinle County, Zhou Huchen began to have lunch with the soldiers, a piece of jerky, a piece of bread, and a few mouthfuls of hot water.

The cavalry, which had simply rested, went on the road again, and after only running for more than ten miles, the cavalry began to detour eastward again, because there was Shahe in front, and the bridge on Shahe Mountain was also not spared.

The rolling yellow dust was left behind, and the knights galloped wildly again after stepping on the pontoon bridge of the Shahe River, and when the sun set in the west, the outline of Baoding Mansion appeared.

The cavalry began to slow down, and when Zhou Huchen stepped forward and raised a clairvoyant mirror to observe the ancient city, he tragically discovered that Li Zicheng's banner had been raised in Baoding Mansion.

The slaughter in the vicinity of Baoding was not so obvious, and it is clear that the officials of Baoding Province did not resist very badly.

The scouts who were sent out soon brought the news, and also verified Zhou Huchen's guess, the officers and troops of Baoding Mansion were simply not able to fight, and it only took an hour for Li Zicheng's army to capture Baoding Mansion, Baoding Prefect He Fu was killed, and the rest of the officials of Baoding Mansion had surrendered.

The situation is out of control, the wheel of history is still the same, Li Zicheng's army is advancing effortlessly, and the troops along the road have no combat capability at all, Zhou Huchen knows that that time is not far off.

The news of Li Zicheng's entry into the Jingshi has spread all over the land of Gyeonggi, and the Jingshi has already spread the news.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen had already issued an edict to the kings of Qin, but unfortunately, there were very few troops from all over the country who entered the land of Gyeonggi. In order to defend this Beijing division, which lacked soldiers and food and was weak, the helpless Emperor Chongzhen lowered his face and began to raise donations. Sadly, there are still very few responders. Whether it is officials or nobles who have begun to cry out for poverty, in this moment of crisis, all kinds of ugliness of human nature are fully revealed. Of course, some of these officials are very poor, but those rich officials who claim to be for the country and the people are also performing.

Looking at the few donations of silver, the helpless Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to change his method, and he began to call for strong efforts, so that everyone could send grain and grass to supply the officials and soldiers, or support the wives and children of the soldiers, so that the defenders of the capital had no worries. But the reaction was still more indifferent, no one responded, and Zuihou had to give up.

At this time, although the Qinwang order to summon the soldiers of various towns was issued, only Tang Tong, the general soldier of Jizhen, rushed to Juyong Pass, and Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Liaodong, who were very close to the Beijing division, did not move or delayed their advance.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen once thought of a decent "move south", and some ministers mentioned this matter in a letter, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, coupled with the obstruction of some ministers, he could not let go of this face.

No matter how angry, sentimental, or desperate, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen should be said to be a diligent emperor, and he is very famous for his diligence. It's a pity that Zhu Youzhen is not a smart person, he gave up escaping and chose "the death of the husband and the monarch".

Some ministers advocated that the crown prince move south and the emperor stayed, I have to say that this is a hope in desperation, which belongs to foresight and wisdom, and can be regarded as leaving a cohesive force for the country.

And it turned out that Emperor Chongzhen was a pig lacking political wisdom, and he vetoed this only chance to save the Ming Dynasty (not counting the outlier of Zhou Huchen).

At this time, Zhou Huchen's five thousand cavalry had been completely let go, and in the frantic gallop of the cavalry, the scouts in front kept handing back the news, and the heavy iron hooves had already set foot on the land of Zhuozhou.

The first enemies appeared, and it was none other than the scouts of the Dashun army.

The earthy brown clothes designed by Zhou Huchen are not eye-catching, let alone beautiful, and their function is practical. But in the eyes of some, this garment means death, it means invincibility. These people are precisely Li Zicheng's army.

"Dismount and rest, and after a quarter of an hour, the attack begins."

This order is tantamount to ignoring those scouts of the Great Shun Army, but Zhou Huchen has such qualifications.

Drinking the horses, feeding the horses some food they brought with them to replenish their horsepower, the soldiers began to solve their own problems, and the time to show willpower and bravery was coming.

It was just after noon, Zhou Huchen had plenty of time to attack, and in the face of a hundredfold enemy, Zhou Huchen knew that he could not defeat, but he wanted to let Li Zicheng, the clown, know that he Zhou Huchen was coming, not only coming, but also biting him hard.

At this time, the ten war horses quickly left the team, and the target was the Bauhinia Pass on the west side. Zhou Huchen has made arrangements, the destination of these ten people is Datong, where all the relevant personnel must be evacuated, of course, including taking away everything that can be taken away, including destroying the workshop that Zhou Huchen has worked so hard to build. These personnel and materials will all be evacuated to Ningwu Pass, and as for the follow-up, Zhou Huchen has already prepared.

Two quarters of an hour passed quickly, and Zhou Huchen got up and shouted: "Get on the horse!" ”

This is the most elite five thousand knights, discipline does not need to be admonished by Zhou Huchen, watching everyone get on the horse, Zhou Huchen shouted again: "Hold the flag~~"
