In Yicheng County, amid the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the soldiers of the Western Army who were like wolves and tigers flocked into the city.

A battle flag of the Ming army on the head of the city was pulled down by the soldiers of the Western Army who rushed to the city tower, dropped from the city, and countless pairs of feet stepped on the big "Ming" word on the banner and entered Yicheng.

At the west gate of Yicheng, the city gate was pushed open by the left sergeant, and Xu Yong, the general of the left army who was in charge of the break, rode a horse and galloped, leading hundreds of left troops to escape from Yicheng in a hurry.

At this time, he heard the cheers coming from behind him, and he couldn't help but hold the reins of his horse, and turned his head to see that the figure of the Western army wearing jute had already appeared on the city wall.

Several left sergeants had just run out of the city when they were shot by a rain of arrows from the western army in the city.

At the head of the city and on the streets connecting the doorways, the figures of the cavalry of the Western Army began to appear.

Xu Yong's face turned pale, and he was secretly glad that he had gone outside the city first.

He thought that he could get out of his shell and quietly evacuate Yicheng, but he didn't want Li Guoying to leave as soon as he left, which attracted Li Dingguo's attention, and the Western Army actually attacked Yicheng immediately.

Fortunately, he was the most decisive, and he made a decision immediately, and the strong man broke his wrist, did not notify the other departments, and escaped with only his personal guards.

Xu Yong looked back with a little pale face, and saw that the figure of the Western Army began to appear in the doorway, so he hurriedly pulled the reins of his horse and fled to the southwest in a hurry.

At the south gate of Yicheng, Li Dingguo, who was dressed in mountain pattern armor, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet on his head, and wearing a red cloak behind him, rode on a healthy horse and carried a big iron spear.

He calmly looked at the corpses lying on the street, listened to the sound of fire and shouts of killing from time to time in the city, and walked slowly along the street.

At this time, the battle in the city was not over, and Xu Yong ran away by himself, but did not inform his subordinates.

The left army in the city did not get the military order, and they were still fighting on their own, and there were still dangers in the city, but Li Dingguo was not afraid and looked indifferent.

Now a year has passed since the Yuncheng ambush, and the left army has also recovered a certain amount of vitality in this year, and has brought out some relatively elite soldiers from the new.

Most of these horses followed Li Guoying and Xu Yong south to defend against Zhang Xianzhong, so the left army in Yicheng County was still relatively difficult to deal with.

Li Dingguo was riding on a horse, his eyes looked over the heads of the infantry army in front, he could see the thick smoke and dust in the direction of the county government, and heard the shouts around him.

The battle in the city was still fierce, but Li Dingguo quickly made a judgment based on what he saw and what he heard.

The left army in the city, although still resisting, but lacked a clear command, part of it was retreating to the government office, wanting to hold on, and part of it was breaking through to the city gate, obviously wanting to get out of the city.

This made Li Dingguo know that the big thing was decided, and there was an imperceptible smile on his face.

At this time, he was walking on the street, and a western sergeant ran from the west street on horseback, turned over and dismounted, and reported on one knee: "General Qiyu, Xu Yong escaped from Xicheng, and General Bai asked if he would send troops to pursue?" ”

Li Dingguo frowned slightly, he still didn't figure out why Li Guoying suddenly withdrew from Yicheng from Xicheng last night, and Xu Yong also chose to break through from Xicheng today.

Xiangyang is north of Yicheng, and the left army should retreat north.

"Don't pursue yet, let General Bai clear the left army in the city." Li Dingguo rode on a horse, and said loudly: "Chuan Ben General order, all departments and horses as soon as possible to clear the remnants of the enemy, and then come to the county government to meet." ”

Many of the guards received the order, and loudly agreed, so they turned on their horses and rushed to all parts of the city, giving orders to eliminate the remnants of the enemy.

Just like Li Dingguo's judgment, the left army did not have a unified command, and fought separately, and in less than an hour, the remnants of the left army in the city were killed and captured, and Yicheng was soon controlled by the Western army.

Yicheng County, in the hall of the government office, Li Dingguo sat on the main seat, on both sides stood Bai Wenxuan and other generals of the Western Army, and in the middle kneeled several people who were distributed, tied up in the Left Army Military Academy.

Li Dingguo is Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, he is only twenty-four or five years old this year, but he has fought on the battlefield for many years, fought nearly 100 battles and battles, and has the domineering and courage of a hundred fierce generals in every move, and his face has a maturity and stability that does not match his age.

On the order of Zhang Xianzhong, he led an army of 20,000 to the north as the vanguard of the conquest of Zuo Liangyu and the capture of Xiangfan.

After the army arrived in Yicheng, it was blocked by more than 30,000 left troops, and he was fighting the rise, but the left army in Yicheng suddenly withdrew, and not to Xiangyang, but to run out of Xicheng, which made Li Dingguo puzzled.

This made Li Dingguo have a suspicion in his heart, but it did not show it on his face, the generals who commanded tens of thousands of troops were already full of joy and anger, he must first figure out what happened, let the left army withdraw suddenly, and then make a decision.

"Say, why did Li Guoying and Xu Yong suddenly evacuate west?" Li Dingguo's face was full of majesty, looking at several prisoners of the Left Army.

Among the several people in the hall, one wanted to kowtow and beg for mercy, but his hands were tied behind his back, so he could only nod violently.

"You say!" Li Dingguo was mistaken, raised his hand and pointed at the man, and said beyond doubt.

The man was slightly stunned, his face was full of astonishment, and he nodded and shook his head, "General, the villain is just a hundred households, he doesn't know anything, please spare the general!" ”

Li Dingguo waved his hand, "Pull it down!" ”

The two guards stepped forward and pulled the man outside the hall, and slashed directly with knives in their hands.

The rest of the people were terrified, and in the turbulent and chaotic times, human lives were not worth much.

Zhang Xianzhong is famous for killing people, and the young generals in front of him are not bad at all.

For a while, the rest of the people were scared, but most of them were not of high rank and did not know about secrets. Seeing that they were about to be killed one by one, one of the generals said urgently: "The villain knows that it was Li Zicheng who wanted to attack Xiangyang, and Zuo Dashuai ordered the army to withdraw to Jingzhou." ”

The generals of the Western Army on both sides heard that Li Zicheng was going to seize Xiangyang, and they couldn't help but change their faces and began to talk in a whisper.

The words of this captive verified Li Dingguo's thoughts, and he waved his hand, "Take them all down!" ”

A few guards dragged down a few left soldiers who were like a puddle of mud.

At this time, Bai Wenxuan frowned and hugged his fists and said: "General, if Li Zicheng goes south, then Xiangyang is afraid that it will be difficult to fight." Are we going to pursue Zuo Liangyu now, or continue to go north? ”

The generals of the Western Army on both sides heard that Li Zicheng was going south, and they were all cowardly, after all, in the past two years, the Western Army was indeed not as good as Li Zicheng, and he was thrown a few streets by Li Zicheng.

"Zuo Liangyu is not worth mentioning, Li Zicheng is our threat." Li Dingguo groaned slightly, and then said: "Xiangyang is very important. If Xiangyang falls into the hands of Li Zicheng, then we will not be able to gain a firm foothold in Wuchang, so we must continue to go north, seize Xiangyang, and block Li Zicheng. ”

If Xiangyang is taken, no one in the whole of Huguang will be the opponent of the Western Army, and the Western Army will be able to seize the entire Jingzhou land.

"But we only have 20,000 horses!" Bai Wenxuan obviously had no confidence, "What if I bump into Li Zicheng?" ”

Li Dingguo stood up, glanced at everyone, and looked firmly, "Now it is unknown whether Li Zicheng will go south, even if he goes south, so what." If Li Zicheng has already occupied Xiangfan, then we will also have to fight with him, so that he can see the strength of our Great Western Army. Only by letting Li Zicheng know that we are not soft persimmons will he not dare to continue to the south and attack Wuchang. ”

Everyone was still about to speak, but Li Dingguo waved his hand, did not discuss with them, and directly waved his hand and ordered, "Pass the order, the army will prepare, immediately pull out, and kill Xiangyang." ”

After speaking, he looked at Bai Wenxuan again, "General Bai, you immediately send someone to Wuchang to inform the king, let the king send troops to follow up, and pay attention to the direction of Jingzhou and Yuezhou." ”

Early in the morning, Gao Yihuan was awakened by a soak of urine, so he put on his clothes and prepared to go to the toilet.

In fact, there is a night pot in the room, but Gao Yihuan is not used to it, he is still used to it, going to the toilet, or wild and peeing wildly.

At this time, as soon as he came out of the room, he bumped into Zhao Zhuzi, and before he could speak, he heard Zhao Zhuzi say urgently: "Second brother, Zhang Xianzhong's striker, Li Dingguo has already killed." ”

", so fast!" Gao Yihuan was so shocked that he was so frightened that he held back his urine.
