Many more days passed.

The time came to the end of November of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

Li Zicheng had already gathered the Qi army and walked to Luochuan County in northern Shaanxi.

However, at this time, an astonishing news reached Luochuan County: Duoduo, the prince of Manchu Yu, led another army of Jiannu had entered Henan Mansion and was advancing towards Luoyang!

[Note: Henan Mansion is a government under the jurisdiction of the Henan Political Envoy]

Along with the news of the defeat of Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu, was also delivered.

It was also at this time that Li Zicheng learned that Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu had recaptured Huaiqing Mansion before, and almost recaptured Weihui Mansion, but now let Jiannu snatch it back.

Now it's not just Huaiqing Mansion that has been snatched back by Jiannu.

Even Luoyang and Tongguan are in danger!

At this time, a huge problem was placed in front of Li Zicheng.

Do you want to continue north to fight Azig in northern Shaanxi? Or go back to Xi'an and go to Tongguan to face Duoduo?

"Holy Lord, the minister thinks that he should continue to go north." Song Xiance took the lead in saying, "Tongguan is a dangerous point in the world, since ancient times, it has the reputation of being a man and a man, and only a small number of elite soldiers are enough to block 100,000 male soldiers of Jiannu!" Therefore, I have enough time to destroy Azig first. ”

"Holy Lord, the minister seconded the proposal." Gu Junen also said.

"If my Dashun Heavenly Soldiers divide their troops to resist the enemy, it will be difficult to say that the north and south roads will win, but if they join forces, they will be able to win whether they are facing Azig or Duoduo."

"No." Niu Jinxing objected.

"Although Tongguan is dangerous, Jiannu has Hongyi cannons."

"At Shanhaiguan, we have already seen the power of the Hongyi cannon."

"Shanhaiguan is especially dangerous above Tongguan, and it can't resist the Hongyi cannon, how many days can Tongguan last? It's just that in such a little time, can my Dashun Heavenly Soldiers really destroy the Azig army? ”

After a pause, Niu Jinxing finally said, "Azig has an army of 200,000!" ”

Li Zicheng's Tong Kong couldn't help shrinking slightly, Niu Jinxing's last sentence still had a bit of weight.

Although the main force of the Dashun army also has 200,000, plus the 100,000 people of Yulin Gao Yigong and Suide Li Yan, the strength of the Dashun army has reached 300,000, but in the face of Azig's Jiannu army, it still does not have an overwhelming advantage in strength, so even if it can win in the end, I am afraid that it will be a stalemate for a long time.

But Tongguan, can it really last so long?

In case the winner has not been decided on the side of northern Shaanxi, Tongguan has lost ......

Wouldn't their Dashun army be homeless and become rogues again?

But if Li Zicheng really gave up going north to Tongguan, he was really unwilling.

Because Wu Sangui is in northern Shaanxi, he wants to kill Wu Sangui, a dog thief, in his dreams.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Zicheng still couldn't make up his mind, and finally frowned and said: "If the decree goes down, the army will enter Luochuan County first, and remember not to disturb the people, and the violators will be decided!" ”

Li Zicheng still wants to wait and see.

……

At this time, it was in the territory of Henan Province.

Henan Province starts from Gongxian County in the east, Tongguan in the west, the Yellow River in the north, Funiu Mountain in the south, and the government is in Luoyang.

Luoyang is one of the four ancient capitals, the city is high and deep and the population is large, but that is already in the past, after many times of destruction by thieves, Luoyang City has been dilapidated, and the population has decreased sharply.

At this time, the defeated troops of Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu had fled back to Luoyang.

However, before the Dashun army could catch its breath, the Jiannu army chased it to the vicinity.

This is also a major feature of Jiannu, the speed of the march is fast, in another time and space, Jiannu is relying on this incredible speed to defeat the Southern Ming army and the Dashun army.

Knowing that the Jiannu army was catching up, Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu knew that they could not hold it, so they had no choice but to abandon Luoyang City and continue to retreat in the direction of Mianchi.

Mianchi is only a small county town, and there is no strong city and deep ditch, so it is even less reliable.

Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu's idea was to retreat directly to Tongguan and rely on the natural danger of Tongguan to block Duoduo's main force of Jiannu.

In any case, Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu still have more than 20,000 people combined, and they are basically old soldiers, that is, they are fighting continuously, and they are a little tired, but as long as they enter Tongguan and let them rest for a while, and when their physical strength recovers, they are fully capable of blocking Duoduo's army with the danger of Tongguan.

……

Dordor was well aware of this.

Duoduo has been fighting on the battlefield for nearly twenty years since he was a teenager, and so many years of battlefield battles have brought him countless honors and a lot of experience.

Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu obviously still had the strength to fight but directly gave up Luoyang, and Duoduo guessed their intentions, and even sent someone to call Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming to him.

"Lord Wang." Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming knelt down on one knee and punched Duoduo a thousand each.

"Get up." Duoduo motioned for the two of them to get up, and said, "Although the Dashun army suffered two defeats in succession in Weihui Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion, in fact, the battle damage was not large, and there was still the strength to fight. ”

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming glanced at each other and said, "This is also seen by the minions. ”

Duoduo said: "Not surprisingly, the remnants of the Dashun army want to retreat to Tongguan as soon as possible, and then win a chance to breathe with the strong defense of Tongguan, if this is the case, it will be difficult to eat the remnants of the Dashun army in a short time." ”

Kong Youde said with a condensed expression: "So the prince wants to lead the Eight Banners Manchuria and the Eight Banners Mongolia to chase and kill first, right?" ”

"That's right, this king decided not to give the remnants of the Dashun army a chance to breathe!" Duoduo nodded and said, "No matter what, we can't let the remnants of these tens of thousands of Dashun troops escape back to Tongguan." ”

"This king will take the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia to go first."

"Grain, grass, baggage, and red-clothed cannons will be given to you to the Eight Banners Han Army."

After a pause, Duoduo said again: "King Gongshun, King Huaishun, you need to be careful, the current situation in Henan is complicated, and the thieves in various provinces are quite strong and arrogant. Don't be careful. ”

"Don't worry, the minion will understand." Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming made a gesture at the same time.

"Okay, then leave it at that." Duoduo rolled over and walked away.

Soon, the Jiannu army, which was originally marching along the official road, was divided into two groups, and more than 70,000 cavalry sped up their speed and rushed towards Michi.

However, these more than 70,000 cavalry have to be put in quotation marks.

Because not all of these 70,000 horsemen were cavalry.

Among them, nearly 30,000 Jurchens and more than 10,000 Mongols were real cavalry, and they also rode real war horses.

But the remaining nearly 30,000 men rode pack horses, mules, and donkeys, and some could only march on foot.

More than 70,000 "cavalry" soon went far.

There were only more than 10,000 Eight Banners Han troops and thousands of carriages left on the official road.

At this time, Geng Jimao came to Geng Zhongming, and stopped talking.

Geng Zhongming saw that Geng Jimao had a black face, as for the reason, it was that Geng Jimao followed Zu Zerun to suffer a big defeat in Shandong last time.

Although they finally picked up a life, they were punished by the Geng family.

"Where have you been these two days?" Geng Zhongming said with a dark face, "I don't even beat anyone when I leave the army without permission, do you want me to die early and make room for you?" ”

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Geng Jimao said with a bitter face.

Kong Youde was very friendly to Geng Jimao, greeted him with a smile and said, "Eldest nephew, do you have something to tell us?" ”

"Uncle, the little nephew really has something to say." Geng Jimao didn't dare to look back at Geng Zhongming, and said to Kong Youde, "Did Prince Yu take the cavalry to chase the remnants of the Dashun army first?" ”

Kong Youde nodded: "Yes, the prince took the cavalry and left first." ”

Geng Jimao's face turned pale instantly when he heard this, and he said to Kong Youde: "Uncle, hurry up and let Prince Yu come back, or at least transfer the Eight Banners Mongolia back, otherwise our Eight Banners Han Army will be in trouble." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Geng Zhongming said angrily when he heard this, "Which green onion are you?" What Prince Yu decided, you dare to change it? I don't know how many pounds and taels I have? ”

"Dad, we're really going to be in trouble." Geng Jimao was anxious.

He turned his head to Kong Youde and said, "Uncle, the night before yesterday, it was your turn to send the Red Banner Han Army to the night and did not collect it, and then it was attacked near Yanshi, and several died, do you remember?" ”

"I don't remember." Kong Youde said, "But that's a bandit, it's a gang of bandits." ”

"Not a bandit." Geng Jimao said hurriedly, "At first, the little nephew also thought it was a bandit, but then the little nephew went back to carefully investigate the scene, and then he felt that it was not!" ”

"In the past two days, have you gone back to Yanshi?"

Kong Youde smiled: "Tell me about your discovery?" ”

Geng Jimao's expression stiffened and said, "I didn't find anything." ”

"Didn't you find it?" Kong Youde joked with a smile, "Then why do you say that it's not a thief?" ”

Geng Jimao hurriedly said: "It is precisely because he didn't find anything that the little nephew asserted that he was not a thief, if it was really a thief who attacked the Red Flag Han Army at night, how could he not leave a head and tail?" ”

Kong Youde was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed with Geng Zhongming.

After a long time, Kong Youde shook his head while laughing and said, "Big nephew, do you have any misunderstanding about the bandits?" This thief isn't the thief you imagined he was? They're amazing. ”

Geng Zhongming also said: "The old pawn among these thieves is even more ruthless than the thief. ”

When they were still the official army of the Ming Dynasty, they suffered the losses of these thieves.

"But no matter how powerful you are, you're just a bandit." Kong Youde said, "You can't threaten the army!" ”

Geng Jimao said: "Dad, and uncle, if Chongzhen personally leads the Ming cavalry to catch up, can it pose a threat to our Eight Banners Han Army?" ”

"Ming cavalry?" Kong Youde was stunned again when he heard this.

Then he laughed again, laughing so much that tears flowed down his eyes.

Geng Zhongming was also so angry that he wanted to whip his son with a horsewhip.

This useless waste, did the Ming army make a fool?

In the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, is it still capable of sending decent cavalry to hunt down and kill their Eight Banners Han Army? It's really not to underestimate Chongzhen and the Ming army, if you really send cavalry here, you can only send them to death.
