At that time, Zhending Mansion belonged to the state capital, with more than 20 counties under its jurisdiction and belonged to a large and medium-sized city.

Li Zicheng retreated to Zhending, but his ass was not yet sitting, and because Chongzhen was following tightly, Wu Sangui chased Zhending again at lightning speed.

Li Zicheng saw that this Wu Sangui was really a terrible ghost, could I really not beat you?

Li Zicheng shouted at the head of the city: "Today's personal duel to the death, not asking for help, but for the ears of heroes!"

Li Zicheng complained and attributed the continuous rout during this period of time to the help of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui doesn't raise the bar with him, no matter if he is a hero or not, as long as he can win, he will succeed.

With one arm wounded, Li Zicheng once again personally went into battle to supervise the battle. He selected 10,000 elite cavalry and 30,000 infantry, a total of 40,000 troops to go out of the city and set up formations.

Wu Sangui found that the Dashun army was galloping, and quickly commanded his soldiers and horses to meet the attack, Wu Sangui sent the generals Man Dahai and Boluo to lead a 5,000 elite cavalry, responsible for attacking Li Zicheng's cavalry, and then ordered Wu Guogui and Hu Guozhu to lead 10,000 horses each to open their wings to meet the battle, and attack from the east and west.

The two sides fought fiercely from morning to evening.

There were still heavy casualties, and there was no victory or defeat.

The house leak happened to be rainy, at this time Zhending broke out again against the Dashun army's uprising, the officials of the Dashun army who stayed in Zhending were killed, Li Zicheng really complained, and Wu Sangui fought outside the city at the same time, Li Zicheng also had to send troops to suppress the uprising in the city.

After the news broke, the Dashun army panicked, and was finally defeated again, losing more than 10,000 horses.

"God don't bless me!"

Li Zicheng saw that he was defeated by Wu Sangui again, and he was extremely indignant in his heart, but he was unable to save the defeat, so he reluctantly left the bodies of thousands of soldiers lying on the battlefield, turned the horse's head, and ran back to Zhending.

After successive defeats on the battlefield, uprisings against the Dashun army broke out in Hebei, Shandong, and Henan one after another, and these local officials and warlords fell to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Zicheng learned from the pain and decided that it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Hebei, and he would withdraw from Zhending and retreat to Shanxi after cleaning up the remnants of the defeated army.

Wu Sangui's men and horses occupy Zhending.

The news of the defeat of Zhending's army and Li Zicheng's westward retreat reached Chongzhen, and Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty was tired of it, leaving thousands of men and horses to defend the city, and immediately led the army out of Dingzhou to Zhending.

Seeing Chongzhen's men and horses following so closely, Wu Sangui cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to stay in Zhending for long, immediately collected soldiers and horses, and went out of the city non-stop to continue to chase and kill Li Zicheng.

As soon as Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses withdrew from Zhending, Chongzhen led an army of 20,000 to Zhending.

After the Ming army entered the city, he went out of the list of Anmin, and exposed Wu Sangui's crime of coercing the pseudo-prince to command the world, so that the soldiers and civilians in this area could recognize Wu Sangui's face.

Now from Baoding Mansion to Dingzhou to Zhending, including Qingdu in northern Hebei, these dozens of prefectures and counties have all spread.

While the local officials and people were welcoming and sending off the king, they soon knew Wu Sangui's tricks, this person regarded himself as a minister, but he was actually a thief, and he coerced the prince to be a complete impostor, and Wu Sangui was a big liar who swaggered through the market with fake and real things.

This time it really cut off Wu Sangui's supply road, the people no longer supported him, and those officials who opposed Dashun's surrender to Daming no longer went to Wu Sangui, but came to Chongzhen's true Daming.

Of course, at this time, in order to win the hearts of the people, Chongzhen killed a few typical examples of surrendered thieves, and made a wish to praise these soldiers and civilians who killed the puppet officials and rebelled against the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Zicheng was in a hurry to retreat in front, and Wu Sangui was chasing fiercely in the back, and he was even more anxious to retreat west than Li Zicheng.

However, Chongzhen of Zhending Mansion couldn't sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight anymore, it was time to take action himself, otherwise Li Yan would be finished soon.

On the way to Shanxi, Li Zicheng killed Li Yan, which Chongzhen had known for a long time.

This person's talent can be used by the Ming Dynasty, and it is a pity that he died under Li Zicheng's knife.

Therefore, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen, "Wang Daban, you leave the overseer to guard the Zhending Mansion, I have to go out to do something, and I will be able to come back in a few days."

"Old slave commands." Wang Chengen naturally didn't dare to ask more.

Chongzhen selected Li Moran, Lu Xiaofeng, Tang Wancai, Li Miniang, 4 congenital masters to accompany the escort, five people in disguise, three watches in the middle of the night, people did not know the ghosts, and the five phantoms left Zhending Mansion......

As soon as the Dashun army withdrew to the boundary of Shanxi, five black shadows fell far away in the mountains and forests behind......

At this time, Li Yan came to see Li Zicheng with a hard head, he was very depressed after the defeat of the Dashun army these days, "Your Majesty, it is not a way for us to retreat westward like this, Li Yan is not talented, he is willing to lead a team to Henan to pacify the uprising, and attack Wu Sangui's flank."

At this time, Li Yan really took Chongzhen's words to him as a deaf ear.

For Li Yan's strategy, Li Zicheng calculated in his heart that it would be a good thing if Li Yan could help him hold Henan, and attacking Wu Sangui from the flank would also be able to reduce his pressure, but at this time, his men and horses were hit hard, and the strength of some soldiers and horses would be even weaker.

When he was hesitating, Niu Jinxing quietly said to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, Li Junshi is also from Henan, and this trip to Henan must be a dragon entering the sea."

Li Zicheng was furious when he heard this.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
