The Qing army did not fight in the city, and the Ming army was not timid, Ling Jingyang ordered the Ming army to camp outside the city, which was a naked contempt for the Qing army.

Hatai saw that the Ming army was camped outside the city, his eyes were straight, this Ming army was more than 10,000 people, how could he still have the courage to camp outside the city, was he not afraid that he would concentrate superior forces and break through the Ming army camp?

Because the Ming army camped on the north side, Hatai and his generals thought that the generals of the Ming army were all straw bales, and they did not need the regent's million-strong army to take it, as long as Liu Liangzuo's army came back, they could attack and destroy the Ming army inside and outside.

But after a while, Hatai felt that the layout of the Ming army's military camp seemed to be a little unusual, the Ming army did not surround Xiping City, but camped at the north gate of Xiping City, and the Ming army's military camp was not scattered, and he could conclude that the Ming army was clearly going to fight with the Qing army.

Many generals of the Ming army actually did not agree with Ling Jingyang camping at the north gate of Xiping City, the number of Ming troops and the Qing army had no advantage, and the Qing army fought in the field, and the victory or defeat was five or five open.

However, it is obviously unwise to defeat the Qing army in Xiping City, as well as the Qing army in other places, and fight hard with the Qing army here.

Wan Liyun suggested that Ling Jingyang take the camp back two miles, Ling Jingyang did not agree, Wan Liyun was a little incomprehensible, why was Ling Jingyang so confident?

But Ling Jingyang was not in a hurry, he estimated that the Great Western Army had launched an attack, and Liu Liangzuo's troops should not be able to retreat, and he could provoke the Qing army in Xiping City as much as he wanted.

Ling Jingyang is so confident, it is because the military commander of the Great Western Army is Li Dingguo, and he believes that with Li Dingguo's posture, he will definitely take the lead in attacking.

Li Dingguo did not disappoint him, on the way back from Fang Xiaoyan, Li Dingguo ignored Sun Kewang's persuasion, and forcibly led 70,000 soldiers and horses to attack from Nanyang Mansion, almost at the same time as Ling Jingyang, Liu Liangzuo received the Ming army in Suiping County almost at the same time, and the Great Western Army launched an attack from the north and west.

Liu Liangzuo has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, at this time he returned to aid Xiping City, and the Suiping defense line he worked hard to build was about to be broken through by the Great Western Army.

Without waiting for Liu Liangzuo to advance and retreat, Li Dingguo's army arrived, and Liu Liangzuo returned to Xiping City during his follow-up period and stationed in Suiping County wholeheartedly.

He thought that his Suiping defense line could block the attack of the Great Western Army, but Li Dingguo led the army to storm and break through nine barracks of the Qing army in one day, and the Great Western Army only lost thousands of soldiers and horses.

Liu Liangzuo suddenly lost the courage to fight against the Great Western Army, and the next day Li Min led 20,000 descendants to retreat to Xiping City.

Li Dingguo was not interested in the Qing army's shrimp soldiers and crab generals, after Liu Liangzuo's retreat, he led 30,000 elite soldiers to pursue the Qing army, he had a clear understanding of the battle situation in Runing Mansion, he defeated the Qing army in Suiping County, but Ling Jingyang did not have the certainty of victory to defeat the Qing army in Xiping City, if Liu Liangzuo was withdrawn to Xiping County, the Qing army was likely to defeat the Ming army of Ling Jingyang.

In that case, his victory in Suiping County would be greatly discounted, and he would also lose an ally, so he ordered his troops to advance lightly, and must destroy the Qing army before the Qing army withdrew to Pingxi Ping County.

Liu Liangzuo thought that he had withdrawn in time, and the Great Western Army should still be attacking the miscellaneous troops he threw in Suiping County, but after dawn, the general told him that the Great Western Army was pursuing behind, and Liu Liangzuo's face was suddenly frightened, and he ordered the troops to advance lightly, abandon all the artillery and baggage, and withdraw to Xiping City as quickly as possible.

The Great Western Army is also advancing lightly, the forward of the Great Western Army and the rear army of the Qing Army are only three kilometers away, the two armies are chasing me, Liu Liangzuo was chased and almost ran out of breath, during a short break, he suddenly remembered why the Great Western Army wanted to pursue desperately, didn't he just want to capture Xiping City in one fell swoop?

Or is he afraid that he will withdraw to Xiping City and besiege the Ming army in Xiping City with Hatai Millet?

Liu Liangzuo did not hesitate, ordered the troops to give up going to Xiping City, to the northeast to Shangcai County, the Qing army changed the route of the march, the Great Western Army also gave up the pursuit, the whole army went north to Xiping City, and the Ming army attacked the Qing army stationed in Xiping City.

Hatai didn't know that Liu Liangzuo abandoned him, and he was still in the city, but he didn't see Liu Liangzuo's shadow for several days, and at this time he was also a little worried about whether the flow clinic would also be attacked by the Great Western Army, so he selected 500 cavalry from the army, rushed out from the West Gate, went to Suiping County to contact Liu Liangzuo, and ordered him to quickly withdraw to Xiping City.

The Qing army's five hundred elite Qing soldiers put their horses on their crotches and rushed out from the west gate, Li Rufeng wanted to lead the troops to fight with the Qing army, but was listened to Jingyang

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

refused, he and Li Rufeng said: "Liu Liangzuo hasn't come these days, just let them go." ”

Five hundred Qing cavalry rushed to a mountain col south of Xiping City, and were ambushed by the forward army of the Great Western Army, and the Qing cavalry of the five thousand Western Army who were beaten with bows and arrows and fire guns knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

When Li Dingguo led the main force to arrive, only more than 50 of the 500 Qing cavalry rushed out and frantically retreated to Xiping City.

The remnants of the Qing army were defeated and withdrew to Xiping City, and Hatai knew that the Great Western Army had reached his nose, and he still had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and he was confident that he would receive a million Qing troops to go south.

He used the stolen silver to pay the soldiers of the Qing army in the city, inspired the confidence of the soldiers to defend the city, and encouraged the soldiers of the Qing army on the city wall.

In the afternoon of the same day, tens of thousands of Daxi troops appeared from the south gate of Xiping City, and the Qing soldiers in the city received their salaries in the morning, and they were frightened enough by the Daxi Army in the afternoon.

The morale of the army in the city was suddenly unstable, and in order to boost morale, Hatai led a group of generals to boost morale at the city wall.

On the city wall, a group of well-dressed Qing army generals walked on the city wall with a crowd, this person aroused great interest in the sniper team, Xu Sheng immediately wanted to listen to Jingyang's request for instructions and whether to carry out a sniper mission, Ling Jingyang was meeting with Li Dingguo in the military camp of the Great West Army at this time, and he asked Mei Shaozuo to tell Xu Sheng that he would carry out a sniper mission.

After getting Ling Jingyang's affirmation, Xu Sheng took hundreds of guards from the barracks to fight, he asked the artillery battalion to cover for him, the old steamed bun heard that the creatures were going to snipe the Qing generals, and readily agreed to his request, led his subordinates to advance the artillery, and then ordered the artillery battalion to open fire.

The Ming artillery fire did not damage the Qing soldiers in the city, but Hatai thought that this was a good opportunity, he wanted to brave the cannon fodder to encourage the soldiers, he pacified the soldiers at the north gate, but suddenly saw hundreds of Ming soldiers rushing to the city, no need to think that it must be to persuade the surrender, he and the generals said: "When this group of Ming soldiers enters the range of the bow and crossbow, I will shoot this group of people to death." ”

The general immediately organized hundreds of archers, waited for the Ming army to shout under the city, and then concentrated fire to shoot the Ming army, but Xu Sheng with hundreds of guards refused to enter the range of the bow and arrow, which made Hatai a little angry, in order to kill the Ming army, he stood out of the crowd and shouted under the city.
