Li Zicheng said: "But Chongzhen's messenger didn't say anything. ”

Niu Jinxing said: "Although Chongzhen's messenger is unknown, combined with the news that Niu Quan found out from the Jiannu camp, it can be basically determined that the Ming army really launched a large-scale counterattack in Xuzhou, so most of Jiannu's return to the division this time was forced to return to the division, otherwise Xuzhou's Tuntian would not be able to be saved." ”

Song Xiance immediately sneered: "Prime Minister, didn't you say that the army would not fight back?" ”

"I really didn't expect Chongzhen to be so stupid!" Niu Jinxing said without blushing, "But it is precisely because of Chongzhen's stupidity that we have a good opportunity to expand the territory of the Dashun Army." ”

"Right now, Jiannu is forced to return to the division to save himself, and we just took this opportunity to seize Shangqiu."

"When Jiannu restabilizes the blockade line in Xuzhou, we will definitely have taken Shangqiu City, so even if Jiannu is unwilling, he can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach."

"As long as you take Shangqiu City, you will also take the whole mansion of Guide."

"As long as the Guide Mansion is seized, Runing, Nanyang Erfu and Ruzhou are sandwiched between my Dashun territories, and it seems that Liu Hongqi, Li Jiyu and other thieves can only submit to my Dashun."

"In this way, the entire Henan Province belongs to my Dashun."

After a pause, Niu Jinxing said again: "Shengshang, Tianyu does not take it, but suffers from it, before Jiannu gave us the opportunity to seize Beijing by the Dashun army, the Shengshang has missed it, and this time Jiannu gave us the opportunity to seize the entire Henan by Dashun, but we must not miss it again, otherwise we will be punished by God!" ”

Song Xiance was naturally resolutely opposed: "Holy one, absolutely not." ”

After a pause, Song Xiance said again: "The minister dares to assert that Jiannu will not easily withdraw from the army, and there must be fraud in it. ”

Of course, Song Xiance didn't know if there was fraud in it, but as long as Niu Jinxing supported it, he had to oppose it.

At that moment, the two quarreled again, and Li Zicheng felt that one head was bigger than two, so he asked Liu Zongmin: "Ruhou, what is your opinion?" Shall we fight the Guide? ”

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"First send a scout horse to find out Jiannu's whereabouts."

"If it is a fake retirement, it will definitely be difficult to escape the eyes of our horses."

Liu Zongmin said: "But if Jiannu is really retired, what does it matter if he takes the Guide Mansion?" The meat has already been delivered to your mouth, why not eat it, right? ”

Li Zicheng said: "Cheng, then send more horses." ”

In the evening of the same day, a horse scouting reported that Jiannu had marched towards Xuzhou in a hurry.

Li Zicheng immediately said to Liu Zongmin: "Ruhou, you will take 30,000, no, 50,000 troops to seize Guide Mansion, after capturing Guide Mansion, I will guard there, if you find that the Ming army is about to be unable to resist, you will send troops to respond, if Jiannu sends troops to retaliate, you will say a few good words to Jiannu, I can see that Jiannu has identified Chongzhen and Daming as the number one strong enemy, so I will not attack Dashun before destroying Daming and capturing Chongzhen." ”

"Yes." Liu Zongmin arched his hand and said, "I know how to do it." ”

That night, Liu Zongmin ordered an army of 50,000 and headed to Guide Mansion.

……

It was the middle of the night.

A round of bright understanding hangs high in the night sky, sprinkled with moonlight like practice.

In the night breeze, unknown insects chirp happily in the night.

At a certain moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from a distance, and it was rapidly approaching the east gate of Kaifeng.

Through the bright moonlight, you can clearly see that the knight is wearing a felt hat on his head, this is a scout cavalry of the Dashun army, and he is rushing towards the east gate of Kaifeng at this moment.

Behind the Dashun cavalry, there were more than a dozen horsemen in pursuit.

Moreover, the dozen or so horsemen did not gather together, but spread out to the sides, as if they were trying to outflank from both flanks, and then form a circle, from which it can be seen that this is not an ordinary cavalry.

At a certain moment, a sharp roar of a sharp blade breaking through the void suddenly rang out.

Immediately, the Dashun cavalry, who was galloping on horseback, fell from the horse.

The war horse, which had lost its master's control, ran for a while and then stopped blankly.

Soon, the dozen or so horsemen outflanked from all sides, grabbed the reins of the war horse, and gently rubbed the horse's neck to appease, and the war horse's mood quickly returned to stability, in the end it was just a war horse.

Immediately a cavalryman jumped off his horse and walked up to the Dashun cavalry.

First, he chopped off the head of the Dashun cavalry with a horse, and then pulled out an arrow from the Dashun cavalry, which was a heavy arrow with a four-edged arrow cluster that could penetrate the iron armor within thirty paces.

The leather armor of the Dashun scout cavalry couldn't bear it at all.

However, at this moment, the cavalryman suddenly shouted, "Who? ”

With this roar, a black shadow scurried up from not far away.

I saw that after this black shadow got up, he began to roar while rushing towards the east gate of Kaifeng, and at the same time raised a gong in his hand, and even brought a gong!

"Damn it, shoot him!" A low roar rang out.

There was a piercing sound of breaking through the air, and several heavy arrows shot at the black shadow at the same time.

These dozens of riders are not only skilled in riding and shooting, but also extremely fast!

Several heavy arrows pierced the black shadow almost simultaneously, and one of them shot directly through the throat, and the roar of the black shadow was stuck in his throat, and the gong in his hand also fell to the ground.

But after the gong hit the ground, there was still a muffled sound.

This muffled sound immediately alarmed the sentry on the tower of the East Gate.

Even two night watchmen came with torches, climbing the battlements and looking out of the city.

One of the sentries said, "Xiao Laosan, didn't you really hear it just now?" I think I heard the sound of a gong, could it be that the ambush army outside the city has discovered something? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The other sentry didn't have a good airway.

"If the Fulu Army really found out something, the sound of the gong would have been loud and loud."

"Besides, in addition to the Fulu Army, there are also scout cavalry on the periphery."

After a pause, he said: "The most important thing is that the Jiannu army has retreated, who else will come to attack Kaifeng?" Runing Mansion and those thieves in Nanyang Mansion? What do you think. ”

"That's right." The sentry was silent before.

Then the two sentries returned to the enemy tower.

Silence returned to the city, as if nothing had happened.

After another half an hour, the dozen or so riders who lay on the ground got up one after another.

The war horses that were pacified on the ground by them also got up one after another, and from time to time they made a few dull snorts.

One of the cavalrymen turned around and made a slight gesture behind him, and countless black shadows emerged from behind him, and they were hundreds of Jiannu, and they were all Baya soldiers wearing triple armor.

Hundreds of Baya soldiers quickly touched the east gate of Kaifeng.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, three years ago, when Li Zicheng opened the seal, it was flooded.

At that time, the city wall of Kaifeng collapsed several sections, and after Chen Qianfu was appointed as the governor of Henan by Chongzhen, he summoned the people to repair the city wall, but the almost missing city wall was still defective.

Jiannu Ba Yala chose a gap on the right side of the east gate.

The height of the wall of this gap is only three zhang, less than ten meters.

With a dull tuk tuk sound, dozens of flying claws climbed the battlement.

Immediately, dozens of baya laments slashed their sabers first and climbed up along the zipline.

Immediately after that, dozens of Baya soldiers climbed up the east gate along the zipline.

In less than a moment, more than 200 Bayala soldiers had already reached the east gate.

……

At this moment, Li Zicheng is dreaming.

In his sleep, Chongzhen and Dolgon knelt at his feet one left and one right, shouting three times long live.

Li Zicheng Yan Dayue, and was about to step forward to lift the two up, when the Jinluan Hall suddenly began to shake violently.

Immediately, the crown prince Li Shuangxi rushed to the main hall in a military uniform, and shouted loudly: "Escort, escort!" ”

When he woke up from his sleep, Li Zicheng was shocked to realize that Li Shuangxi was not shouting in a dream, but was clearly shouting outside, and he was really shouting for escort.

At that moment, Li Zicheng was startled and said sharply: "What are you shouting?" ”

Immediately, Li Shuangxi, who was fully dressed and customary, rushed into Li Zicheng's line and said hurriedly: "Father, go quickly!" The east gate of Kaifeng has been lost, and the army of Jiannu has entered the city! ”

"What do you say? Has the East Gate been lost? ”

"The army of Jiannu has entered the city?"

Li Zicheng couldn't believe his ears.

How can it be? Isn't the army of Jiannu already retired?

Could it be that he killed a horse pistol? I didn't expect that.

"Yes." Li Shuangxi said in a panic, "Because Jiannu has newly retreated, the night vigil soldiers will inevitably slacken, and as a result, in the second half of the night, Jiannu climbed to the top of the city with flying claws, and the east gate fell after a fierce battle." ”

"So easy to let Jiannu sneak attack the city gate?" Li Zicheng said angrily.

"Didn't you ambush the road army outside the city? And also sent out scout cavalry? ”

"Father, the son has sent a lot of them." Li Shuangxi said with a bitter face, "But, it's ......."

Li Shuangxi couldn't say it explicitly, he couldn't say that I didn't expect Jiannu to kill a horse pistol, so he only sent a small number of ambush troops and scout cavalry.

And the general school at the bottom is estimated to be discounted again.

"Damn!" Li Zicheng was suddenly half angry and careless.

However, Li Zicheng soon found out that something was wrong and asked, "No, what about the army of Ruhou?" ”

Jiannu pulled out the camp and returned to the division yesterday morning, and Liu Zongmin's 50,000 army was pulled out last night.

Liu Zongmin has an army of 50,000, even if he is ambushed, he won't even be able to deliver a letter, right? Unless......

Li Zicheng quickly thought of another possibility, unless it was just a trap from the beginning, and Jiannu's return to Xuzhou was just a pretense, so Liu Zongmin was also in danger!

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng's lungs were about to explode.

This is all to blame on Niu Venus and Niu Quan, father and son!

It must be Niu Quan, a fool, who let Jiannu play it!

At that moment, Li Zicheng said sharply: "Niu Jinxing and Niu Quan's father and son are safe?" ”

"Father, I didn't see Niu Jinxing father and son just now." Li Shuangxi said in a panic, "Father, let's go!" ”

While the father and son were talking, Song Xiance and Zuo Maodi also hurried over, and shouted as soon as they met: "Shengshang hurry up, Jiannu is killing along Dongmen Street!" ”

Immediately after that, the clash of weapons was heard.

At this time, Li Zicheng's personal soldiers led the horse over.

"Damn, go!" Li Zicheng stomped his foot and got on the horse.

Song Xiance and Zuo Maodi also followed on the horse, and under the protection of Li Shuangxi and the cavalry of Yibiao Dashun, they rushed out of the city from the west gate of Kaifeng, but as soon as they got out of the city gate, they encountered a team of Jiannu who did not collect at night.

After a scuffle, Jiannu was repulsed at night.

The Dashun cavalry also lost more than 20 horses.

……

As it was nearly dawn, Dorgon returned to the outside of Kaifeng.

At this time, the Jiannu army had already captured Kaifeng City.

He Luo, who was covered in blood, would come to Dolgon's horse: "Master, Kaifeng has been taken!" ”

was able to take Kaifeng, as early as Dolgon expected, Dolgon was more concerned about whether he caught or killed Li Zicheng: "What about Li Zicheng?" Caught it? ”

"Li Zicheng ran away." He Luohui said, "I only caught Niu Jinxing and his son." ”

"Watching these two fathers and sons may be useful in the future." After Dolgon finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the towering east gate of Kaifeng, and said word by word, "Pass the order, let the Eight Banner warriors enjoy themselves, and don't seal the sword for three days!" ”

"Long live the Nine Kings!" Hearing this, the Eight Banners nobles who accompanied them cheered with sky-high prices.

Dolgon's order reached the city, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners, who were originally sitting and resting in the streets and alleys of the city, suddenly became excited, shouting Long live the Nine Kings, and at the same time broke into the house and carried out a comprehensive, cruel and bloody loot in Kaifeng City.

Kaifeng was originally a large city in the Central Plains, with a population of nearly 400,000 at its peak.

After Li Zicheng flooded the city, the population plummeted to less than 50,000.

However, after Chen Qianfu's governance, many fleeing people were collected one after another, many gentry also returned one after another, and the population of Kaifeng also recovered to more than 100,000.

But this time, a catastrophe in Kaifeng City could not be escaped.

……

Let's go back and talk about Li Zicheng.

Fleeing all the way to Bishui before daring to stop.

At this time, there were only more than 100 cavalry left under the leadership of Li Shuangxi.

Because on the way to defeat and escape, he encountered several batches of Jiannu's night non-collection, and Jiannu's night non-collection was really able to fight, and the five Dashun cavalry may not be able to fight for a night.

Immediately afterwards, the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Domain Mongolia caught up again.

After repeated fierce battles, only more than 100 cavalry remained of the 3,000 cavalry.

Thanks to Chen Yongfu, who stayed in Luoyang, he actually led his troops to Bishui.

It wasn't until he entered Bishui Pass that Li Zicheng dared to stop and collect the defeated soldiers.

Although he suffered another unprecedented defeat, Li Zicheng's mood was quite stable.

Lianshan Customs has survived such a big defeat as Li Zicheng, what is the defeat of Kaifeng?

By the morning of the next day, there were defeated soldiers fleeing back one after another, not only the defeated soldiers in Kaifeng, but also many defeated soldiers under Liu Zongmin's command fled back, and brought back a bad news, Liu Zongmin was captured.

Now Li Zicheng is finally angry, this is a loss of an arm.

Since becoming a merchant in Luoshan, Liu Zongmin has been the number one general under his command.

Liu Zongmin was defeated in Shanhaiguan and did not die, and he never thought that he would fold in Kaifeng.

So Li Zicheng hated Niu Jinxing even more, and said in his heart that he would never spare Niu this time.

However, until he returned to Luoyang, Li Zicheng couldn't wait for Niu Jinxing and his son.
