[Today's first chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!! ] There will be a change today, and there will be a change in the evening. 】

Sony's persuasion failed, and he simply stopped wasting his tongue.

At this time, Sony's heart even had a ruthless thought again, thinking about whether to take the opportunity to attack Li Zixiao after Li Zixiao handed over Concubine Zhuang.

However, the idea of Sony just came to him, and he snuffed it out.

"Hey, this time, let's send Concubine Zhuang back to the city safely, this thief's precautions are too tight, it is difficult to succeed, and the matter of dealing with this thief should be left to the emperor and Prince Rui to worry about."

Sonny sighed inwardly and gave up on the idea.

In fact, when Li Zixiao hands over Da Yu'er later, Sony will also hand over the last batch of 1,400 war horses to Li Zixiao.

At that time, without the Tartar of the war horse, it will be impossible to pursue Li Zixiao, and it is destined to stop Li Zixiao from leaving.

"Report, General Qiyu, General Liang has already led us across the Hunhe River."

After a while, a cavalry member of the White Dragon Army sent back by Liang Feng finally reported to Li Zixiao.

"Haha, Master Suo, I'm ready to hand over someone, are you going to hand over the last war horse to us?" Li Zixiao laughed and looked at Sony opposite.

"Let's get it over quickly!" Sonny said coldly.

Next, Li Zixiao released Da Yu'er from a long distance, and let her slowly walk to Sony's side, while on the other side, the Tartar soldiers dismounted one after another, and then retreated dozens of steps.

And the cavalry of the White Dragon Army who remained in the end quickly received the more than 1,400 war horses, and both sides were wary of each other, and quickly distanced themselves from each other.

In the end, the battle did not start, and although there were many troops on the Tartar side, there were no war horses.

But Li Zixiao didn't want to take any more risks, he had already got what he wanted, and it was the clearest choice to accept it when he saw it, and immediately withdraw across the Hunhe River and leave.

"Da Yu'er, Master Sony, we'll have a meeting later! Ha ha! ”

Thundered!

Li Zixiao finally shouted loudly to Da Yu'er and Sony in the distance, and then took more than 400 White Dragon Army cavalry, drove more than 1,000 war horses, and quickly headed towards the direction of the Hunhe Wharf.

"Li Zixiao!" Da Yu'er in the distance looked at Li Zixiao's departing figure at this time, revealing a gritted tooth.

Indeed, this time Da Yu'er hated Li Zixiao to death in her heart, and this time Li Zixiao attacked Shengjing City, and the biggest loss was estimated to be her.

In the afternoon, Li Zixiao led people across the Hunhe River, and then retreated south along the road they had come.

Li Zixiao stayed on the north bank of the Hunhe River for a day and a night, and in such a short period of time, some of the other Tartar castles around Shengjing City did not even receive news.

Evacuate to Li Zixiao, south of the Hunhe River, even if he is completely safe.

When he came, Li Zixiao brought a total of 2,000 cavalry, and when he returned, there were only more than 1,400 people left, and more than 500 people were killed.

However, compared with the losses of Li Zixiao's men, this trip to Shengjing, Li Zixiao's gains can be described as unprecedentedly huge.

Let's not talk about the significance of his 'visit' to Shengjing City this time, but the 200,000 taels of silver and 3,400 war horses that Li Zixiao got back this time are a fruitful harvest.

Subsequently, Li Zixiao spent another five and a half days, and on June 28, they arrived at Qingtaiyu, which had also been captured by Luo Chao at this time.

"General, are you back? So many war horses? ”

After Luo Chao learned that Li Zixiao came back, he took people out to greet him, and when he saw so many war horses brought back by Li Zixiao, he was also surprised, and then ecstatic.

"Haha, this trip to Shengjing can be regarded as thrilling, but it is fruitful, go, go to the city, and let Ben tell you a good story when the time comes."

Li Zixiao was in a good mood, and said with a smile to Luo Chao and other generals of the White Dragon Army, and then entered Qingtaiyu.

That night, Li Zixiao ordered the three armies to be rewarded and held a celebration banquet in Qingtaiyu, anyway, there were no Tartar brigades around.

Li Zixiao is in a good mood and definitely lets his subordinates relax.

Qingtaiyu, a large mansion with hundreds of square meters, is used as Li Zixiao's temporary marshal's mansion at this time, and Li Zixiao will have a banquet here tonight.

As for the ordinary soldiers, although they can't have the same banquet with Li Zixiao, the places where the soldiers have soldiers are mostly in the outer courtyard.

"Hahaha!"

At this time, there was a hearty laughter in the courtyard of this mansion.

Luo Chao and the other generals of the White Dragon Army laughed one by one after listening to what happened in Shengjing City this time by Li Zixiao.

When they heard that Li Zixiao dared to lead two thousand White Dragon Army cavalry into Shengjing City, they all sweated.

When they heard that Li Zixiao had inadvertently captured Huang Taiji's Concubine Zhuang, they all exclaimed.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that I couldn't participate in this operation, enter Shengjing City, capture the imperial concubine, such an exciting thing, just missed it in vain."

Luo Chao beat his chest and paused, and said with great pity.

"Yes, General, when we fight under Shengjing City next time, we must not be missing!"

"Yes, we must not be missing."

Luo Chao's words resonated with the surrounding White Dragon Army generals, and they all petitioned Li Zixiao.

"Haha, okay, next time, when Lao Tzu goes to Shengjing City, he will not only bring 2,000 cavalry, Lao Tzu will bring 100,000 male soldiers to level Shengjing.

When the time comes, you will all kill people together in Shengjing City, capture the Tartar prince Baylor alive, and capture those concubines of Huang Taiji.

Hahaha, you say, okay! At this time, Li Zixiao was also emotional, picked up a bowl of wine, and shouted to the surrounding generals.

"Okay."

"Come, let's make this drink, and then we will eat meat, but no one is allowed to get drunk, and tomorrow we will march."

Li Zixiao will not delay tomorrow's action because of the banquet generals, and warned the surrounding generals.

"In addition, here I would like to officially announce that the three brothers of the Cao family have officially joined our White Dragon Army, and they are the heroes who have been able to enter Shengjing City this time.

The three brothers are all bloody men, first-class heroes, everyone is welcome. ”

Li Zixiao did not forget the three brothers of the Cao family, and the contribution they made this time, at this time, officially let the three brothers join the White Dragon Army.

"Our White Dragon Army lacks the three brothers of the Cao family, such a good man, you are welcome to join our White Dragon Army."

The generals of the White Dragon Army have released their goodwill to the three brothers of the Cao family, after all, they are people who are valued by Li Zixiao.

Immediately, after the three brothers of the Cao family joined the White Dragon Army, Cao Ping and Cao An were arranged by Li Zixiao in Luo Chao's Flying Eagle Battalion, but the third Cao Le did not want to be a cavalry and joined the infantry battalion.

Li Zixiao appointed Cao Ping as the chief, and Cao An and Cao Le as the captains, which was regarded as their reward.

And Li Zixiao can be regarded as having seen it with his own eyes, the exquisite martial arts of the three brothers are enough to be qualified to serve as the commander of the army, and if they want to climb up in the future, they will have to make meritorious contributions again.

After the reward meeting, Li Zixiao ordered that all the soldiers should go back to the camp to rest and rest, and those who should go to the changing of the guard, and they will be pulled out tomorrow morning and leave Qingtaiyu.

After the banquet, Li Zixiao summoned two people in the mansion, one was Luo Chao, and the other was Zhang Fugui, the head of the White Dragon Army Intelligence Bureau, who had just arrived in Qingtaiyu yesterday.

Li Zixiao first looked at Luo Chao and asked, "Luo Chao, how have you completed the task of clearing and the migration of the people?" ”

"General Hui, we resolutely follow your orders and attack all the village forts of the Tartars around Qingtaiyu, and we have completed everything that can be killed, robbed, and destroyed.

In addition, from Qingtaiyu to the south, a total of 17 villages, a total of more than 15,000 people, also moved to Zhenjiangbao. ”

After Luo Chao heard Li Zixiao's inquiry, he replied calmly.

"Well, very good, in this way, our trip outside the customs can be regarded as a successful end.

Tomorrow, the troops will be withdrawn back to Zhenjiang, and after the final matters are dealt with in Zhenjiang, they will all evacuate outside the customs and return to Tamna Island. ”

Li Zixiao didn't know at this time that the news of his attack on Shengjing City, in fact, Sony had been suppressing it all along, and he didn't dare to report Huang Taiji on the Songjin front.

Sony was worried that Huang Taiji was on the front line at this time, and he was fighting a decisive battle with the Ming army, and if the matter of Shengjing passed on, it would seriously affect the morale of the Tartar soldiers on the front line.

However, Li Zixiao didn't know about this, he thought that Huang Taiji should have known what he was doing in Shengjing at this time.

Moreover, Li Zixiao knew that if Hong Chengchou did not make major adjustments to his tactics on the front line of Songjin, the Ming army's fiasco would soon occur.

At that time, Huang Taiji will definitely be able to free up a part of his elite troops and let his subordinate Dolgon and other generals lead them to take revenge on him.

But Li Zixiao didn't plan to face the Tartar elite cavalry led by Dolgon outside the pass, and that kind of battle was not good for him.

Anyway, this time he sent troops outside the customs and took advantage of the fire to rob the purpose, which has been completed, and it is best to withdraw the troops honestly at this time, and he can't chew more if he is greedy.

This time alone, he looted a large amount of money, grain, livestock, and a population of up to 100,000 people from the Tartar castles around Zhenjiang, which was enough to keep him busy for a while.

Especially the resettlement of these people, it is a particularly troublesome matter, Li Zixiao has already sent people back to Jiangbei in advance, and asked Qian Guangyuan to send some civil officials to Tamluo Island.

Immediately, after Li Zixiao asked Luo Chao, he looked at Zhang Fugui on the side, smiled slightly, and asked, "Ergouzi, it seems that you have a good life, and you seem to be fat again." ”

"Where, general, my subordinates work hard day and night, running around every day, and I have suffered several pounds in the past half a month."

Hearing Li Zixiao's words, Zhang Fugui hurriedly said with a smile.

"Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you, you came in such a hurry, did something happen to the Songjin front? I'll hear it. ”

"The general is really like a god, it is indeed a shocking reversal in the battle on the Songjin front, so I came in person to report to the general."

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"Yes."

Zhang Fugui immediately said seriously: "General, just ten days ago, Huang Taiji suddenly ordered a full-scale attack on Jinzhou and Songshan for some reason.

In the face of the onslaught of the Tartars, the Jinzhou guard Zu Dashou asked Hong Chengchou for help one after another, and Hong Chengchou had no choice but to swear in Ningyuan, and the army officially went north to conquer the Tartars.

Within a few days, more and more Ming troops who went north fought fierce battles with the Tartars in the area of Songshan and Xingshan.

Although the battle in Jinzhou was fierce, with the strength in the hands of Zu Dashou, he still held Jinzhou City to the death, so that the Tartars could not attack it.

At the beginning, the main force of the Ming army led by Hong Chengchou even occupied part of the advantage, and the Ming army first supported Songshan and relieved the siege of Songshan.

Immediately, the Ming army supported Jinzhou again, and also smashed the Tartar conspiracy to capture Jinzhou, and even in the field, the Ming army did not suffer much loss because it was equipped with a large number of firearms provided by us.

However, all the turning points happened four days ago, when a Tatar cavalry suddenly appeared and attacked Tashan and burned the grain and grass that Hong Chengchou had hidden on Beacon Mountain.

It was the most of the grain and grass reserves of the entire Ming army, and the Tartars burned up the rations of more than 100,000 Ming troops.

In this way, Hong Chengchou can't fight this battle.

He could only re-order the troops to retreat to Ningyuan, hold on to Ningyuan City, and wait for the arrival of new grain and grass provided by the imperial court before fighting.

As a result, there were serious problems with the retreat of the Ming army, and several people received Hong Chengchou's retreat order at different times, and the retreat was disjointed.

This made Huang Taiji take advantage of the loophole, and Huang Taiji personally led five thousand Tartar elite horsemen to cross through the connection of several Ming troops, but no Ming army found out.

At dawn on June 26, the retreating Ming army suddenly found that on their retreat road, a force of Tartar cavalry had been killed, cutting off their retreat.

There was an interception in front, and there were chasing soldiers in the back, and the Ming army had no food in their hands, and soon several Ming army teams were unstable, did not listen to orders, acted without authorization, and looked for opportunities to escape.

The next thing, needless to say, at this time, the Ming army not only ran out of food and grass, but also had its retreat intercepted, messing up the morale of the army, losing its formation, and waiting for them was only slow death.

When I left Ningyuan and rushed here, the latest news I got from the front was that the main force of the Ming army had been broken up into several groups and began to rout.

Hong Chengchou's men and horses were targeted by the Tartars and failed to evacuate, so they were forced to lead thousands of remnants into Songshan City to wait for reinforcements.

Next, the battle on the Songjin front, the possibility of Hong Chengchou wanting to turn the tables is not too big, unless the imperial court sends new reinforcements. ”

"General, this is the detailed information I sent back through the front-line scouts, sorted out, the general process of this battle, please take a look."

After Zhang Fugui finished speaking, he handed a piece of music to Li Zixiao, and Li Zixiao opened it and looked seriously.

In Zhang Fugui's recital, the description of this battle is more detailed.

"What did Hong Chengchou do this time, the army of more than 100,000 people, all of them were elite people, and they were defeated by the Tartars who were tens of thousands less than them.

And he was defeated so quickly, in just half a month, he was defeated? I don't know, I thought Hong Chengchou was already a Tartar person! ”

Just when Li Zixiao lowered his head and looked at the detailed process of this battle on the concerto, Luo Chao also listened to Zhang Fugui's words, and first looked dumbfounded.

Obviously, Luo Chao also found it hard to believe that Hong Chengchou would lose so quickly in the decisive battle.
