Everyone is trying to figure out how to completely eliminate the rebels in the city, but they have never thought of which potential rebels there are, and which rebels are about to launch a new conspiracy?

At this time, Fang Xiaoyan led the Special Bureau to Weihui Mansion, and after explaining his intention to Murong Tu, Niu Guangtian and other generals, the two welcomed the Special Bureau to settle in the left wing and the right wing.

That night, Fang Xiaoyan led the officers of the Jintian Second-class Special Bureau to infiltrate Niu Guangtian and Murong Tu's army as ordinary soldiers, collecting useful information for Murong Tu and Niu Guangtian.

After the arrival of Fang Xiaoyan, the Qing army launched several attacks, because the Hongyi artillery rested in Kaifeng City and lost the support of heavy weapons, and the Qing army was beaten down by the Ming army several times.

The rebels in the city were cut off again, and could not be used as an internal response, the Qing army was repelled by the same enemy Xinming army, Jiang Xuan also led the only remaining 18 cavalry to withdraw to Liaozhou, gathered defenders in Liaozhou, and returned to the Henan battlefield to effectively support the battle of Weihuifu.

The battlefield of Weihuifu, which was supported by Jiang Xuan's troops, forced the Qing army to attack to no avail, and was forced to give up the strong attack, and the whole army surrounded the city, and waited for the Hongyi artillery to arrive, and then launched a general attack.

In the battle of Weihui Mansion, Dolgon came to the front line in person, and the morale of the Qing army was high, but Dolgon was a little floating, thinking that the Ming army in Henan was vulnerable, although Weihui Mansion had not been captured, but as long as the Hongyi cannon arrived, the Ming army of Weihui Mansion would be swept away by the autumn wind, and under the strong offensive of the Qing army, the Henan campaign was about to end, and heavy troops should be mobilized to attack Shaanxi.

The Qing army won a great victory in the northern Shaanxi battlefield, and after the Azig army captured the entire Yan'an Province, the whole army went south to attack Xi'an Province, and Li Zicheng was forced to personally lead his troops north to resist the attack of the Azig army, and at the same time ordered the troops in Shanxi to withdraw to Shaanxi to support the Tongguan battlefield.

Tongguan was already in danger under the onslaught of Aobai, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo also reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, and there were only ten days of grain and grass left in the entire Tongguan, and 16,000 soldiers, including more than 2,000 wounded soldiers.

Liu Zongmin thought that there was no need to die in Tongguan, he should rush out quickly while there was still a battle force, Li Guo could see farther than him, after rushing out, how should he fight, they didn't know that Azig led his troops to attack Xi'an.

At this time, it is in a hurry

Retreat, the Qing army's north and south armies entered Shaanxi, forming a north-south flank attack, and the Dashun army will fall into a place of no return.

"General Liu, I agree with the retreat, but can you fight Jiannu with a return pistol after retreating, kill the Jiannu forward army, and force it not to dare to go deep into Shaanxi."

Liu Zongmin's middle battalion suffered heavy losses, and there were not many soldiers and horses to fight back, he and Li Guo shook their heads, saying that it was almost impossible to counterattack, but Li Guo did not believe in evil, after the Qing army captured Tongguan, it would definitely get carried away and continue to pursue, and the elite soldiers could be selected to set up an ambush on the road west of Tongguan to Xi'an City, luring the Qing army into the ambush circle, and giving the Qing army a severe blow.

"Li Guo, if you want to ambush the Qing army, you can ambush the Qing army, I still have hundreds of cavalry here, you want me to give them all, but my troops must be withdrawn to Xi'an City as soon as possible to rest."

Liu Zongmin's attitude was very negative, Li Guo was not good at saying anything, after some discussion between the two, they decided to break through for another three days, Liu Zongmin led 9,000 troops as the forward, to break through in the direction of Huayin, Li Guo led the troops as the rearguard, to buy time for the forward to break through to Huayin.

After the striker broke through to Huayin, Li Guo strongly asked Liu Zongmin to set up an ambush here, Liu Zongmin wanted to withdraw to Xi'an City in one breath, but Li Guo's attitude was resolute, and he was His Majesty's own nephew, and he was not good at Li Gang, and Li Guo said: "I put Zhang Ding's department and six thousand soldiers and horses in Huayin to set up an ambush with you, and I want to go to Xi'an City to form the last line of defense." ”

When he said this, Li Guo could only endure it, and after reaching an agreement, the two of them summoned the generals above the rank of lieutenant in a house in the pass to convey the military order to everyone to break through.

The generals of the middle battalion and the rear battalion have long wanted to break through, the combat characteristics of the Dashun army are mobile operations, not good at defending the city, hearing the breakthrough army order many generals are eager to immediately stand out, Li Guo also said to the generals: "Break through after three days, and the direction of the breakthrough is Huayin." ”

Liu Zongmin also echoed Li Guo on the side. "The middle battalion of this breakthrough is the vanguard, and after the battalion is broken, after the breakthrough to Huayin, the armies set up an ambush in Huayin, and give Jiannu a return rifle here."

This military order made the faces of many generals very unnatural, and some generals wanted to retreat to the rear to rest in one go, but there were also a few generals who thought that this ambush was very necessary, and saw that the generals were not unified

With one opinion, Li Guo stood up and told the generals about the main force of the ups and downs.

After the front battalion broke through to Huayin, it was necessary to prepare for an ambush, wait for Jiannu to enter the ambush circle, and destroy the Qing army's forward troops in one fell swoop.

Zhang Neng, the second-in-command of the rear battalion, also came out and expressed his position on behalf of the generals of the rear battalion: "Yes, we must beat hard, and if we don't beat Jiannu and withdraw to the rear, we will only live a few more days." ”

Gao Yigong, Ma Chongxi, Lu Yingbiao and other rear camp generals also looked solemn, they all knew that this ambush battle was very important, if the Qing army's westward march was not blocked, the foundation of the Dashun army would be uprooted by the Qing army.

Subsequently, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo formulated a specific battle plan, and the whole army broke through from the north side of Tongguan and entered Huayin in the west, and the time was at midnight three days later.

After all the generals got the military order, they all returned to the camp to prepare, but Li Guo asked the generals of the rear camp to stay and continue to discuss the combat matters after the decision, and a group of middle-level generals in the rear camp, such as Li Daoli, Qin Lie, Huang Daozhong and other generals gathered around Li Guo, waiting for Li Guo to speak.

Li Guo said to them: "Everyone, the time to break through is not three days later, but tonight. ”

Everyone was stunned by tonight's breakthrough, it was already evening, wouldn't it be self-defeating to break through in such a hurry?

Li Guo has a different understanding, he thinks that the news of the breakthrough after three days will definitely be deliberately leaked, holding Tongguan for so long, there have already been a few generals in the army who tried to surrender to the Qing army, but Tongguan is tightly defended, and these people who want to surrender have no chance.

But it is very easy to spread the information of the breakout to the outside of the city, and any arrow can be shot outside, and the secret can be leaked.

He and the generals ordered to go back to bury the pot and cook now, and break through from the south gate on the third watch.

Before everyone dispersed, Li Guo once again emphasized the importance of breaking through, but the ambush was even more important, the generals' expressions were very serious, and they returned to the barracks with Li Guo's military order.
