"Report, sir, the news sent by General Han."

In the north of Dingxing City, Li Zixiao temporarily stationed his army here, and at this time, a soldier shouted and rushed into Li Zixiao's tent.

"Azig's men and horses, the raiding range stops in the Zhuozhou area, and they will return in two days, and Dolgon's men and horses are still in Tongzhou."

When Li Zixiao received the news that Han Tong sent someone back, he was also puzzled.

"Could it be that the Tartars really want to fight the capital?" Qi Wei next to him said.

"No, if the Tartars really want to break through the Jingshi, Azig will not send people to loot everywhere, isn't this a waste of time!"

"But sir, what if Azig is waiting for Dorgon's army to arrive, and prepare for the two armies to join forces to storm the capital!"

Li Yan's words made Li Zixiao also surprised.

At this time, history has long changed, and Li Zixiao is not fully sure.

This time it was supposed to be before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the last time the Tartars entered the customs and plundered, will it also change, and it is really possible for the Tartars to storm the capital of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

"Forget it, no matter whether the Tartars want to storm the capital or not, I am still determined to eat a part of the Tartars in the Zhuozhou area, and tell Azig and Dolgon that Benjue is here."

In the end, Li Zixiao said decisively.

"According to the intelligence behind Han Tong, at this time, there are as many as a dozen Tartars in the Zhuozhou territory, almost more than 10,000 people, and they are still relatively scattered and plundering everywhere.

They haven't noticed our arrival yet, Qi Wei, Zhao Zilong, Benjue now orders you to lead three thousand fire cavalry, as well as the 'Flying Dragon Battalion' to the north immediately.

Benjue will lead the main force to arrive later, before Benjue's main force arrives in Zhuozhou.

The two of you can find your own fighters and eat as many of the Tartars as possible for Benjue, so that these Tartars can come and not return. ”

Li Zixiao looked at Qi Wei and Zhao Zilong next to him and gave an order.

"Yes, the subordinate takes the order." Qi Wei and Zhao Zilong answered.

Thundered!

A moment later, a huge cavalry team galloped out of Li Zixiao's camp and headed north first.

Half a day later, Li Zixiao also ordered the army to pull out the camp and go north with heavy supplies.

At this time, the scout battalion led by Han Tong returned to Zhuozhou.

In order to find out more about the situation of the Tartars in the Zhuozhou area, Han Tong provided more detailed information for the White Dragon Army that came later.

As Han Tong personally led the scout camp and went deep into the vicinity of Zhuozhou, there was a fierce battle with the same number of Tartar scouts scattered here.

At this time, on a vast plain more than 20 miles southwest of Zhuozhou, dozens of war horses were galloping and chasing.

Whoosh!

Arrows shuttled through the air, and the Tartar cavalry, which had more cavalry behind, shot at the several White Dragon Army cavalry scouts who were fleeing in front.

Bouncing!

Compared to the arrows shot by the Tartars, the arm crossbow equipped by the White Dragon Army scouts is completely different when they shoot short arrows.

Bang bang bang!

When the cavalry on both sides approached, the sound of firecrackers could be heard.

"Captain, the Tartars are chasing too closely, their bows and arrows are too much of a threat to us, we can't go on like this."

A White Dragon Army scout shouted at his own captain in front of him.

Of the ten members of their squad, only four remained, and the rest were all killed by the Tartars' arrows in the previous chase.

This White Dragon Army scout team, who didn't encounter the Tartars all the way, actually let them touch the outside of Zhuozhou City.

At this time, the scout team was surprised to find that Zhuozhou was occupied by the Tartars.

Smoke rose from the entire city of Zhuozhou, and a large number of Tartar soldiers burned and looted in the city.

The White Dragon Army scout team that discovered this situation immediately prepared to return and report this important situation to Han Tong.

But what this White Dragon Army scout team didn't expect was that on their way back, they didn't go far before they were discovered by two Tartar scouts.

Needless to say, the two sides fought as soon as they met.

It's a pity that the scouts of the White Dragon Army have few people and are at a disadvantage, so they can only retreat, and they want to spread the news of the fall of Zhuozhou.

"Seeing that there is no woods in front, after getting there, the four of us will flee separately, there should be other teams around here, find them, and it will be safe."

The leader of the White Dragon Army's scout squad, riding on his horse at this time, shouted to the three remaining subordinates on both sides.

"Understood." The other three answered.

On the other side, a few miles west of the White Dragon Army scout team that was chased by the Tartars, the scout team led by Dai Jun also arrived here.

"Captain, there's movement."

Suddenly, Miao Dashan looked to the east vigilantly and shouted to Dai Jun.

"Captain, look, it's our men, being hunted down by the Tartar cavalry."

Fang Xiaosi immediately exclaimed, pointing his finger towards the east.

Following his fingers, Dai Jun and the others saw that on the desolate land a few miles to the east of them, a White Dragon Army scout was being pursued by seven or eight Tartar cavalry.

Just half a quarter of an hour ago, the four White Dragon Army scouts who were being chased by the Tartar cavalry still chose to scatter and flee, and one of the team members fled towards Dai Jun's current position.

"Rush over and save the man."

Dai Jun saw the number of Tartars chasing and killed, and did not hesitate to give an order.

"Kill!"

Dai Jun, Ye Xie and a group of eight people immediately galloped over.

As Dai Jun's team rushed out, the White Dragon Army scout who was still fleeing was surprised when he saw it, and rushed towards Dai Jun and them with a shout.

Whoosh!

As Dai Jun and the others rode their horses, they rushed towards the seven Tartar cavalry, and when the two sides approached each other, the Tartar cavalry rode on their horses and shot arrows at Dai Jun and them.

The Tartar's riding and archery skills are really not casually talked about, this is completely the result of years of training.

Dai Jun threw their bodies down, but there were still two team members who were hit by arrows, and the war horses fell, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Immediately, the scout cavalry of both sides also rushed closer, and then Dai Jun and the others also used their crossbows and firearms to inflict a round of death blows on the Tartar cavalry.

Bang bang bang!

After a brief burst of fire, four Tartars fell from their horses, one of whom was still entangled in the stirrup, and was not dead, but was dragged to death by the horse.

"Kill!"

After the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat, Dai Jun roared angrily, drew his horse chopping knife, and slashed at the tartar.

Thundered!

The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, making a 'rumbling' sound, and after a stick of incense, the seven Tartar cavalry who pursued were all killed by Dai Jun and them.

And Dai Jun and the others also paid half of the casualties, and a full four people died in the battle, including Miao Dashan and Fang Xiaosi.

"What? Zhuozhou has fallen? ”

Dai Jun and Ye Xie didn't have time to grieve for the death of their teammates, so they learned new information from the scouts of the other teams of the White Dragon Army who they saved.

"The fall of Zhuozhou will inevitably make the surrounding Tartars all flock to Zhuozhou, which may not be bad news for us.

Ye Xie, bring the bodies of Dashan and Xiaosi, let's go back and tell the general the news. ”

Half a day later, Han Tong also learned the news of the fall of Zhuozhou.

At this time, Han Tong had just joined Qi Wei and Zhao Zilong.

Qi Wei led three thousand fire cavalry, and Zhao Zilong's 'Flying Dragon Battalion' was the only one brought by Li Zixiao this time, one of the three main cavalry battalions of the White Dragon Army.

Fortunately, Qi Wei, Han Tong and Zhao Zilong's men and horses converged more than 30 miles southwest of Zhuozhou, at a place called Luohuapo, and their total strength was 8,000 people.

"Haha, the Tartars have captured Zhuozhou."

When Qi Wei learned from Han Tong that Zhuozhou was occupied by the Tartars, not only was he not angry, but he became happy.
