After taking full control of Lizhou City, Tuo Yue immediately ordered the Qing soldiers to find Zhang Xianzhong's army in multiple ways and let them take over Lizhou City.

After all, the Qing Iron Cavalry is not used to defend the city, and the wild is their world.

After the Qing army scouts were scattered, Li Dingguo's scouts were soon discovered dozens of miles away.

"Drive!" Several Qing scouts quickly stood in front of several thief scouts.

"Shhh The encounter with the Manchu also shocked several thief scouts, and they did not expect that the Manchu people would run into Sichuan and block their way.

Several thief scouts held the hilts of their swords and stared vigilantly at several Qing scouts.

Although Zhang Xianzhong's thief soldiers did not fight with the Qing army, the Qing army had been overwhelmed by the Ming outside the pass for decades, and more than four years ago, they quickly defeated Li Zicheng's million-dollar elite in more than a month, and his prestige was great.

Although it was defeated by the Ming Dynasty in Xuzhou more than three years ago, this was not enough to offset the Qing army's achievements for decades, and in the face of such a strong enemy, several thief scouts had to be cautious!

"Are you Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers?" One of the Qing scouts asked.

"Not bad! What are you waiting for! The thief scout in the lead said. As a last resort, they were not willing to fight the Qing Manchus.

"In that case, take me and others to meet your generals, our Lord Belle has captured Lizhou City, and we need your generals to lead troops to defend the town!" The leading Qing army scout said.

"What, what! You have captured the city of Lizhou! Several of the thief scouts were shocked.

What is the place of Lizhou City, the second largest fortified city in Shudi, blocking the Great Western Kingdom for nearly ten years, Zhang Xianzhong has personally led hundreds of thousands, and even more than 300,000 Great Western Army to conquer many times, but the result is in vain, at this moment suddenly heard that Lizhou City was captured by the Qing army, how could they not be shocked.

What shocked them even more was that the Qing army actually said that they would give up Lizhou City to them!

Several thieves and scouts felt that the matter was very important, and after thinking about it for a while, they decided to take a few Qing army scouts to meet Li Dingguo, and the Qing army scouts were only a few people, and they were not afraid of any tricks played by the Qing army.

Immediately, two teams of men and horses galloped towards a mountain, where Li Dingguo and 8,000 Western troops were hiding.

When Li Dingguo learned that the Qing army had captured Lizhou City and planned to let the Great Western Army take over, he was also shocked, and some wondered why the Manchus would intervene at this time, shouldn't they have a good chance of navigating the north?

Thinking slightly, Li Dingguo guessed six or seven percent.

Since the Ming Dynasty defeated Dorgon's 800,000 Qing army in Xuzhou a few years ago, it has completely reversed the decline of the Ming Dynasty since the end of Wanli.

The Manchus have been at war with the Ming Dynasty for decades, once forcing the Ming to breathe, and now it is occupying the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is almost an endless situation, and the growing strength of the Ming Dynasty also makes the Manchus also feel the pressure of Dazeng.

The Ming Dynasty sent troops to Henan and Shu at the same time, nothing more than to re-unify the world, after destroying Li Zicheng and the Great Western Kingdom, the next step must be the Northern Expedition, and the Manchurians were greatly injured in the Xuzhou War a few years ago, and have not completely recovered, the Manchurians must know that it is difficult to compete with the Ming Dynasty at present, so they sent troops into Shu to help the Great Western Kingdom, and they do not want the Great Western Kingdom to be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty so quickly, and the Manchurians want to strive for more time to recover their vitality.

Thinking of the purpose of the Manchurians, Li Dingguo's face was unpredictable, very complicated and difficult to understand.

In fact, Li Dingguo will have a feeling of suffocation in his heart, Li Dingguo is undoubtedly a very nationalist person, intellectually he hopes that the world of the Han people is still Han people, and the Manchu people belong to the alien race outside the Guan, and now they occupy half of the Han people, which has made Li Dingguo feel extremely uncomfortable.

To say that the Ming Dynasty has achieved such an achievement in only a few years under the rule of Zhu Cijiao, Li Dingguo is extremely admired, and the current Ming Emperor is even more admiring in his heart, but it is a pity that each is his master, Zhang Xianzhong has the grace of saving his life and nurturing him, he can not abandon Zhang Xianzhong in any case, otherwise he will definitely serve the Ming Dynasty, show his ambitions, and prosper the Han Dynasty.

Although he felt uncomfortable, but in the end Li Dingguo still chose Zhang Xianzhong, for the sake of the Great Western Kingdom, he had to cooperate with the Manchurians, Lizhou City was too tempting, cut off the connection between Lizhou City and the Ming Dynasty, Li Dingguo was ten percent sure that the Ming army would retreat in the face of difficulties and keep the Great Western Kingdom!

"Order, march to Lizhou!"

Under the leadership of Li Dingguo, the eight thousand Daxi hurried towards Lizhou City.

While the Qing army scouts found Li Dingguo, they also found the 5,000 Ying Long army led by Han Hu who was marching rapidly in the direction of Lizhou City not far away.

At the same time, the news that Lizhou City was broken by the Qing army was also spread to all directions at this time with the remnants of the Ming army who escaped from Lizhou City.

The 5,000 Ying Long army led by Han Hu happened to encounter several Ming troops who escaped from Lizhou City.

After these Ming army routs were caught by the scouts of the Ying Long army, they immediately asked to see Han Hu.

These Ming army routs were all under the command of Qin Liangyu, who had seen the heroic appearance of Ying Long's army when they passed through Lizhou City, and they hoped that Ying Long's army could recapture Lizhou City.

"What do you say! The city of Lizhou was captured by the Qing army? Han Hu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it at all, when did the Qing army enter Sichuan and capture the vital city of Lizhou!

Han Hu knew that if this news was true, then this matter would be a big deal, and it was likely to affect the war situation in the entire Sichuan, and the contact with the Ming Dynasty would be lost, and the hundreds of thousands of allied troops of Ying Longjun and Qin Liangyu would become the turtle in the urn, which was not a joke.

"How many men and horses are there in the Qing army?" Han Hu hurriedly asked.

"About 10,000 Iron Riders!" One of the Ming army routs added: "By the way, I remember that those Qing army iron horsemen were wearing red armor." ”

Red armor? Full of eight flags and red flags!

Han Hu immediately guessed that the identity of the Qing army that captured Lizhou was the red flag of the Qing army, which was the most authentic elite of the Qing army and the core force of the Manchus.

"Order, speed up the march, be sure to rush to Lizhou as soon as possible!" Han Hu didn't hesitate much, and immediately ordered.

Lizhou City is to be recaptured no matter what, there are not many five thousand Ying Long troops, but it is enough to protect himself in front of more than 10,000 Qing army iron horses, Han Hu can't choose, as long as there is a slightest possibility, he can't just give up Lizhou, after all, at this time, even if he returns to Chengdu with five thousand Ying Long Army, under the premise that there are not enough shells to collapse the Chengdu city wall, he can't kill Chengdu, and his five thousand Ying Long Army is useless, it is better for him to fight for the possibility of success, trying to recapture Lizhou, no matter how bad it is, he can also stay around Lizhou City, Waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court, and then attacking back and forth, this is the best policy!
