A small number of generals of the Dashun army were fascinated by grain, grass and silver, as well as Henan Mansion, and even asked Li Zicheng to remain neutral, sit and watch the Qing army and the Ming army fight, and when the two armies were exhausted, they would enter the battlefield and inflict heavy losses on the Ming and Qing armies.

The general who made this suggestion was blasted out of the court by Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng ordered to kill the Qing army envoy, and ordered Li Guo to lead the rear battalion of soldiers and horses to support Shanxi, Li Hou's army suffered heavy losses in the battle of Datong Mansion, and after withdrawing to Xi'an Mansion, thousands of troops were replenished, and the whole army recovered to more than 10,000 people.

However, it was certainly not enough to have more than 10,000 people to support Shanxi, and Li Zicheng ordered Liu Zongmin, who was stationed in Datong Mansion, to wait for an opportunity to launch an attack on Xuanfu Town, so as to contain the Qing army's strength.

Li Zicheng also remembered the Great Western Army resting in the west of Huguang, he asked Wang Chengen to go back, and asked Emperor Chongzhen to also ask the Great Western Army to attack, Wang Chengen agreed one by one, and rode a fast horse to Yicheng overnight.

When he went to Shaanxi, Emperor Chongzhen also asked Li Jiantai to go to the territory of the Great Western Army, and asked Zhang Xianzhong to send troops to attack the Qing army in Huguang.

Li Jiantai knew the foundation of Chongzhen's court, although he was supported by all over the country, but his family background was not thick, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Zhang Xianzhong's request, saying that the court could give the Great Western Army fifty taels of silver and 100,000 stone grain and grass.

And said that there are only so many, and there will be more soldiers and horses in the Chongzhen court to mutiny, Zhang Xianzhong reluctantly agreed, he ordered Li Dingguo to order the Xiao cavalry battalion, and the two battalions of the Huben battalion with 15,000 troops set off from Yunyang Mansion and invaded Nanyang Mansion in Henan.

Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Huguang Jingzhou Mansion and Chengtian Mansion, and this time the Great Western Army almost moved in a hurry.

The news of the Qing army's attack on Shanxi spread all over the southwest and north, and Wang Yingxiong, who was in the land of Bashu, was bored in the mansion for a day and a night, and finally decided to go out of Sichuan to resist the Qing Dynasty, so that Zeng Ying was the vanguard, and Yang Zhan was the commander of the 50,000 Sichuan army, attacking the Huguangchen Prefecture from Chongqing.

The Great Western Army and the Sichuan Army are far away from Shanxi, and if they want to support Shanxi, it will take at least half a month, and the Qing Army also adheres to the principle of the speed of the soldiers, and quickly launched an attack on the Battle of Zezhou, Shanxi, Zezhou is garrisoned by Jiang Rang's brother Jiang Rang, in the face of the Qing army's tiger and wolf attack, Jiang Rang's eight thousand Ming troops were wrapped in dumplings, Jiang Rang escaped from death, and after returning to Taiyuan City, there were more than 20 cavalry left.

The Qing army was strong, forcing Jiang Hao to concentrate his forces, and the Qing army confronted in Taiyuan City, Mei Shifeng, Wu Dading, He Zhen three soldiers and horses tried to sneak attack the Qing army's left side of the army, the Qing army's left side of the army was led by Wu Sangui, in the face of the Ming army's sneak attack, Wu Sangui easily defeated Wu Dading's department.

The two led the army to smash Huanglong, defeated the Qing army's army in the rear of Zezhou, and burned down the Qing army's warehouse, which made the Qing army short of food, forcing Wu Sangui to put down the pace of continuing the attack, waiting for the grain and grass to be transported from the rear, and then attacking.

Azig led the main force of the Qing army to attack Taiyuan City, and suddenly received that the grain and grass of the left army were burned, and he was furious, and it was too late to get angry, and Xuanfu Town was suddenly attacked by the Dashun army.

Xuanfu Town is the military center of the Gongwei capital, where Aotu and Hongde risk 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, Azig did not receive Dolgon's order, decided to abandon it, with troops

Continue to storm the city of Taiyuan.

Jiang Hao in Taiyuan City led the troops to defend to the death, the Qing army did not capture Taiyuan City for a while and a half, but the Dashun army was like a bamboo, breaking through the three guards of Xuanfu Town in one fell swoop, Ao Tu died in battle, Hong Demao led the troops to retreat to Huailaiwei.

The high-level Qing army in the capital was shocked, and asked Dolgon to retreat to Shanhaiguan, Dolgon was not in a hurry, and ordered the Boluo Department in Baoding Prefecture to go north to the capital Qinwang, after receiving the military order, Bolo led the main force of 30,000 Qing troops to aid the capital.

Liu Zongmin invaded Shuntian Mansion for the second time, and he was very touched in his heart, he remembered that he entered the capital last year, and was driven away by the Qing army in less than half a year, thinking about it was a shame, he must break through the capital this time and slaughter all the slaves.

Without waiting for him to attack, Bolo's 30,000 soldiers and horses arrived in the capital, Bolo led the army to a decisive battle with Huailaiwei and the Dashun army, Liu Zongmin was ashamed this time, Bolo was a new generation of famous generals in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and his strength should not be underestimated.

The two armies fought fiercely in Huailaiwei, and after a confrontation, both armies were not able to eat the opponent, but the Dashun army suffered great losses, Liu Zongmin fought more and more frightened, and the Qing army did not use all its strength, as if hanging the main force of the Dashun army here, to gain more opportunities for Azig to attack Shanxi.

Liu Zongmin only thought about half of it, Boluo was indeed the main force of the Dashun Army, Azig attacked the Chongzhen court, but the Qing army still had an army secretly traversing from the middle of Taiyuan Mansion and Datong Mansion, the target was the Dashun Army in Shaanxi, this army was led by Duoduo, and the whole army was composed of Eight Banners, which was the most elite unit of the Qing army.

Li Zicheng did not know that the Qing army would be so vicious, at this time Li Guo led the army to arrive near the Yicheng of Pingyang Mansion, where he fought with the Qing army, and the Qing army had their own victories and defeats, Mei Shifeng, Wu Dading, He Zhen three soldiers and horses retreated to Yicheng, and the strongest Jiang Hao of the Ming army was besieged by the Qing army in Taiyuan City.

In the entire Taiyuan Mansion, only Ling Jingyang's army was between Taiyuan Mansion and Datong Mansion, and it was also the only army that could resist the Qing army's surprise attack on Shaanxi.

Ling Jingyang was still waiting for Wang Chengyun's family to send silver in Ningwu Pass, but after waiting for more than 20 days, Wang Chengyun's family could not see a single hair, until the intelligence officers of the Special Bureau in Beizhili sent back information, Wang Chengyun's family was attacked and killed by Hong De, the deputy general soldier of Xuan Fu, and the whole family did not survive, only Wang Chengyun survived in Ningwu Pass.

After Wang Chengyun got the news, he cried for three days and three nights, begging Ling Jingyang not to kill him, give him a living passerby, and let him avenge his family, Ling Jingyang asked him to write a letter to recruit his former subordinates, Wang Chengyun said that the letter was too slow to be delivered, it was better to let him go to various places to recruit troops and buy horses, give him three months, and he would definitely be able to bring back thousands of soldiers and horses.

Zhou Yuan agreed to let Wang Chengyun leave, Ling Jingyang asked him why he agreed, Zhou Yuan replied to Ling Jingyang, Wang Chengyun's family was destroyed, isn't it that the Qing army wants to eliminate his influence in the army, if he returns to the Qing army again, I am afraid that he will die faster, it is better to let him recruit troops, maybe it can also inspire him to fight with the Qing army.

Ling Jingyang listened to Zhou Yuan's suggestion, immediately released Wang Chengyun, and gave him five hundred taels of silver and a fast horse, and asked him to quickly recruit his subordinates, Wang Chengyun rode on a straddle horse and disappeared into the field of Ningwu Pass.

After Wang Chengyun left, Zhang Shun, who was stationed in Shanyin, suddenly asked his generals to rush back to Ningwu Pass and report to Ling Jingyang that a Qing army was coming from the east to kill Ling Jing

After Yang got the information, he immediately summoned the generals in the city to discuss whether to support Sanin.

Everyone was very interested in this Qing army, and they didn't know where it came from, so they swaggered and appeared in Shanyin, in fact, everyone would not have thought that Duoduo's soldiers and horses entered Shaanxi from Beizhili, and it was not a smooth ride along the way, but to defeat the Dashun army in the eastern part of Datong Province, only a few Dashun troops held on to the city and were not defeated, and the other armies were defeated by the Qing army.

Duoduo came to the east of Shanyin County thirty miles, Zhang Shun only then found out that the Qing army was coming, he saw the Qing army, and immediately asked the generals to go back to report, he led the troops to defend in Shanyin, but Duoduo bypassed Shanyin and pounced directly on Mayi.

Zhang Shun thought that the Qing army was attacking Mayi, and led his troops to support Mayi from the north, but he was ambushed by the Qing army, and more than half of the more than 2,000 soldiers were lost, and he was forced to withdraw to Shanyin City.

Duoduo tried his knife and continued to advance with his troops, his army of the Eight Banners had twenty red-coated cannons, if it weren't for the slowness of the red-coated cannons, he would have raided to Weiyuanwei, the westernmost part of Datong Mansion.

The goal of the Qing army this time is very clear, one is to eliminate the Chongzhen court, and the other is to raid the Shaanxi Dashun army, not to behead Li Zicheng and other high-ranking members of the Dashun army, but to kill and injure the Dashun army, bleed the Dashun army, and cut off the connection between the Shaanxi Dashun army and the Shanxi Dashun army, in order to achieve strategic goals.

In order to complete this task, the Qing army must occupy Ningwuguan and Shuoxian, cut off the Dashun army to support Shanxi, and after Duoduo defeated Zhang Shun, he led the army to besiege Mayi, and the Gao Ding Department was stationed in Mayi.

Gao Ding wanted to withdraw from Mayi, but he did not dare to retreat without Ling Jingyang's order, but fortunately, Mei Shaozuo took Ling Jingyang's edict and ordered the armies of Mayi and Shanyin to retreat to Shuo County, if the Qing army was strong, all the Ming troops in Datong Mansion withdrew to Ningwu Pass.

Ling Jingyang did this as a last resort, after all, his troops were too small to divide his troops to resist the attack of the Qing army, after getting the retreat order, Gao Ding took the troops to retreat immediately, and Zhang Shun, who was far away in Shanyin, also abandoned Shanyin City, and retreated to Ningwuguan with the whole city's soldiers and civilians.

Only Li Rufeng in Shuo County, ordered the infantry and the people to withdraw to Ningwu Pass, he led hundreds of cavalry to roam nearby, wanting to obtain more information, the Special Bureau had a stronghold in Shuo County, Fang Xiaoyan personally came to Shuo County.

He came back from Ma Yi and Shanyin to report to him, and the Qing army that came this time was all eight banner soldiers, as well as dozens of red-clothed cannons, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Li Rufeng also loves and hates the Special Bureau, this newly formed department can indeed obtain more intelligence for the army, but it also robs him of many tasks, in the past, he took the cavalry to the battlefield to cruise, obtain information such as the size of the enemy's army, the number of people and equipment, and now it has become the daily task of the Special Bureau.

He insisted on meeting the Qing army for a while, and Fang Xiaoyan said to him: "Brother Li, this time Jiannu is menacing, General Zhang Shun was ambushed on the road of Zhengyuan Mayi in Shanyin, and was defeated by the Qing army in just one moment, General Zhang lost more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and was forced to withdraw to the city. ”

Hearing Fang Xiaoyan say this, Li Rufeng no longer insisted, and also retreated to Ningwu Pass with hundreds of cavalry, Ling Jingyang's troops chose to retreat, and let Duoduo punch over, but it hit the cotton, feeling more painful than being beaten by the Ming army.
