By noon, the Qing army had stopped, and was assembling somewhere north of Julu, and the cavalry responsible for escorting the prisoners and all kinds of captured goods slowly moved forward, getting closer and closer to the assembly place.

Lazy and playful, unaware of the danger that is coming.

Suddenly, the sudden appearance of the Li Jiajun came from all directions, and a cavalry interspersed through, cutting the Qing army from the captured people of Beizhili, like a moat, lying between the two.

Boom boom...

Da Da...

Whoa...

The sound of cannons was everywhere, the guns of thunderbolts and three-eyed guns were loud, and there were even arrows like rain flying in the air, heading straight for the Qing army, and all kinds of screams echoed in an instant, as well as the neighing of war horses, and the dull sound of falling to the ground.

The cannon rumbled, the guns exploded like firecrackers, and instantly suppressed the Tartars who were constantly galloping and approaching, and the cooperation of guns and bows and arrows built a near, medium, and long-range attack network, strangling the Qing army.

Not only were the rebels who cooperated with Li Jiajun dumbfounded, they were shocked by the strength of Li Jiajun's firepower, which was beyond their imagination, but Yue Tuo was even more shocked, although there were repeated reminders from the captain of the Niu Lu squad and repeated narration, Yue Tuo, who was originally noncommittal, was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The Li family army in all directions is like a spring, constantly pouring in, dense, I can't see how many people there are, but this kind of scene makes people's scalp numb and feel powerless, no wonder Du Du's 20,000 army is almost completely wiped out.

Could it be that Yang Sichang's bastard is just a bait, wanting to lure the Qing army led by himself here and annihilate it again?

Yue Tuo's mind had this thought for no reason, seeing that his side was completely at a disadvantage, he was beaten so that he couldn't raise his head, and he didn't have any strength to fight back at all, and he was eaten up by gunpowder little by little, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his heart.

"Pass my order and immediately catch up with those captives, I don't believe it, no matter who the other party's commander is, dare to bomb those Han untouchables?"

Yue Tuo shouted these words almost hoarsely, however, the answer of the lieutenant general next to him almost made him desperate.

"Lord Belle, no, this Ming army is very strong, just from the beginning, it separates us from the logistics troops, and we can't get close at all."

Hearing such an answer, Yue Tuo knew that it was over, everything was over, and he and the others would follow in the footsteps of Du Du, and there would be no chance of a fish dying and the net would be broken, and he and the others would be like fish on a chopping board.

The arrows were dense like rain, the cannons were thundering, and the unknown firearms were fired continuously, so that the cavalry could not break through the opponent's defense line at all, and the area that could be defended became smaller and smaller.

At the same time, Li Zicheng led a part of the army among the captured people, beckoning his soldiers to release the shackles of the people, and even more intimidating the other rebel armies who were about to move, and the leaders who coveted gold, silver, jewelry, grain and grass.

At this moment, the rebel army united with Li Jiajun was almost reduced to spectators, almost watching from the wall, watching how Li Jiajun strangled the Qing army little by little, without the slightest intention of accepting the other party's surrender.

Torture and killing, it was completely torture and killing, sweeping the Qing army with a crushing posture, and the other party had no power to fight back.

"Don't leave one, kill them all!" Li Zicheng glanced back at the captured people around him, his heart was full of anger, sonorous and cold order, and a lot of information appeared in his mind at the same time, the Qing army slaughtered many cities, and hundreds of thousands of people were killed.

Compared with the excitement and shock of his subordinates, the leaders of those rebel armies were very jealous, and did not dare to act rashly, so they stayed where they were honestly, watching the Li Jiajun crush the Tartars, for fear of causing misunderstanding.

Even if there were no dazzling firearms, even if there were no deafening cannons, these leaders knew that their team was not a little bit worse than the Li family's army, and it was not on the same table at all.

The captured people with stiff and wooden expressions were moved, and looking at the large pieces of tartars, everyone was excited, their fists clenched, and they all stayed in place, quietly watching this scene.

Of all the people who were arrested, who did not have a handful of bitter tears, and whose family members were not killed by the Tartars?

Loved ones, homes, etc., were all destroyed......

Li Zicheng didn't pay attention to the situation on the battlefield anymore, and once again glanced at the captured people around him, more than 200,000 people, who were actually driven away by tens of thousands of Tartars like cattle and sheep, without the slightest resistance, it was really a kind of sadness, losing the bloodshed that a person deserves.

"Inform Li Guo and the Red Lady that the loyal battalion can speed up its action, and strive to leave the 50,000 Qing troops led by Abatai and Zierharang on the side of the Grand Canal, and kill them all within three days. When the time comes, you will be able to go back and slowly clean up Chongzhen's emperor's child. ”

A day later, in the imperial city, in Chongzhen's imperial study, Yang Sichang did not have the embarrassment of being chased and killed by the Qing army, and returned to his former calmness, as if he had forgotten his own defeat, and swore solemnly: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng's escape, Gao Gonggong would not have fallen into the ambush of the Qing army, and there would have been no subsequent rout." ”

"Emperor Qiqi, what Lord Yang said is right, Governor Lu must take responsibility for this defeat, causing the Qing army to take the opportunity to ambush and kill the official army, causing the imperial court to lose nearly 100,000 troops." Gao Qiqian stood up very tacitly, and the two sang double reeds.

Yang Sichang then said: "Also, the emperor, Yang Tinglin and Lu Xiangsheng are in collusion, and the two escaped at the same time, although the former is on the way to Zhending Mansion to escort grain and grass, but it is difficult to blame, Weichen suggested that Yang Tinglin be degraded to Jiangxi." ”

Most of the post stations were abolished, so that the delivery of intelligence was greatly reduced, these people in the imperial study could not have imagined that today's Beizhili is already another situation, as the emperor Chongzhen, not only did not know that Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian were lying, and put all the responsibility on Lu Xiangsheng, but also did not know that the Qing army had been hit hard, and of course did not know that his country was already in danger, and a catastrophe was approaching.

The other ministers in the imperial study were silent, some of these people may really not know what happened, whether Lu Xiangsheng died in battle or escaped from the battle, but there were still a small number of people who heard some rumors, and still no one spoke for Lu Xiangsheng.

Some people's eyes couldn't help but glance at Gao Qiqian, Yang Sichang, Wang Pu and others, these defeated people still have the face to make nonsense, and they have not been held accountable and questioned in the slightest, what is wrong with this court? What else is fair?

Those generals who can fight well will be held accountable for their crimes, or reduced to civilians, or killed on the border, but these people in the imperial study are not only not questioned, but are still reused.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that in order to stabilize the current situation, it is better to hurry up and negotiate with Huang Taiji, which is the best policy."

Although it was a rehash of the old matter, Yang Sichang caused a storm, and no one thought that he would mention peace talks at this time.

At this time, Zhan Shi Huang Daozhou, the young man of Zhan Shifu, stood up and argued without fear: "No, your majesty, now is the time for peace talks, not to mention that peace talks are insulting to the country, what should those more than 400,000 people who were captured by the Tartars do?" Is it possible to let the Tartars take captive to the customs and ignore them? ”

"Hmph~ A lifetime of learning, only one mouth!"

Hearing Yang Sichang's yin and yang strange words, Huang Daozhou's face showed a trace of anger, but he still held back, glanced at Yang Sichang, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, the word loyalty, the minister does not dare not argue, the minister dares to speak before the monarch's father, how can the one who slanders before the monarch's father be loyal?" ”

Speaking of this, Huang Daozhou raised his head, looked directly at Chongzhen, and then raised his voice a few points, and said sonorously: "If there is no distinction between loyalty and loyalty, then evil and good are confused, how can it be cured?" ”

"Bold!"

Chongzhen was furious, and he didn't want to see Huang Daozhou anymore, so he immediately issued a holy decree, which not only demoted him to six levels in a row, but also transferred to Jiangxi according to the judge as Zhaoma, an eight-rank petty official.
