734 And Dorgon came

[Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!] 】

On the morning of the 9th, the main force of more than 30,000 Tartar troops led by Dolgon, carrying tens of thousands of people, had already set out from Pingyin and spent nearly two days crossing the Huitong River and entering the Shouzhang territory.

And just as Dolgon had just crossed the Huitong River with his army and was about to continue his march towards Shouzhang, he also received an urgent report from the Guye faction.

Peng!

"A bunch of dog minions, all of them are waste, if anything happens to Duoduo, this king wants your life."

As a result, Dolgon, who was originally in a good mood, turned his face directly cloudy after reading the urgent information sent by Guye, and kicked down the Tartar herald who was kneeling in front of him, and roared angrily.

Dolgon's roar also attracted the attention of the other Tartar generals around him, and they all looked at Dolgon, who had a gloomy face at this time, and did not understand why Dolgon was suddenly so angry.

"Dog minion, go back and tell Guye that if he can't find Duoduo before the king arrives, he will be flayed alive when the king arrives.

Get lost! Dorgon yelled at the Tartar herald who had been kicked and vomited blood.

"Wow!"

Dolgon's hideous appearance frightened the Tartar herald in response, touched the blood from the corner of his mouth, and crawled away.

Thundered!

Not long after the Tartar herald had left, a force of five thousand Tartar cavalry quickly departed from Dorgon's army and galloped westward.

Dolgon's army was less than thirty miles away from Shouzhang City, and the cavalry could reach it in half a day.

But Dorgon still had more than 20,000 foot soldiers in his hands, as well as tens of thousands of civilians, and carts of money and food that they plundered, so that their march was not very fast.

And Dolgon couldn't sit still after hearing the two bad news of Shouzhang City, Duoduo's disappearance, and Shouzhang's loss.

I had to send 5,000 Tartar cavalry as the vanguard first, rushed to Shouzhang in advance, wandered around Shouzhang City, and did not allow Li Zixiao in the city to leave.

"The whole army obeyed the order and accelerated its advance."

Immediately, Dolgon issued another strict order and rushed towards Shouzhang City at full speed.

At this time, Dolgon already knew that Duoduo was defeated and disappeared by Li Zixiao at the Daqing River, and that Shouzhangcheng was recaptured by the White Dragon Army last night.

I saw that at this time, Dorgon was riding on a horse, and his face did not have the previous smile, but changed to a distorted and hideous face because of anger.

In the face of Dolgon, the other Tartar generals around him were silent, and no one dared to make a loud noise for fear of annoying Dolgon.

At this time, Dolgon, while hating Li Zixiao in his heart, was even more worried about Duoduo's safety, and then felt pity for the loss of Shouzhangcheng.

At this time, Dolgon's value was the life of his own brother Dordor.

Not only because Duoduo is his own brother, but also because Duoduo is his right-hand man, and if something happens to Duoduo, the white flag will have to be replaced.

At that time, the white flag was replaced by another flag owner, and Dorgon could not guarantee that he would still be able to wear the same pants with him as Dorgon did now.

On the other hand, Gu Ye also quickly got Dolgon's exact words from the returning Tartar herald, which made Gu Ye very panicked.

"Expand the search scope for Lao Tzu, and you must find the prince.

Find the surrounding Han people, let them lead the way, you must find the prince as soon as possible, otherwise Prince Rui will never spare you before he kills the general. ”

Gu Ye shouted angrily at his generals.

"My lord, what if the prince has been arrested by Li Zixiao?"

At this time, a Mongolian general stood up and asked.

Poof!

As a result, as soon as the Mongolian general finished saying this, Gu Ye directly raised his knife and slashed the Mongolian general in front of him alive.

Immediately, Gu Ye, with a pair of fierce eyes, flashed a cold gaze, swept over all the Tartars and Mongolian generals present, and said unkindly: "If the prince really falls into the hands of Li Zixiao, then let's wait to bear the wrath of Prince Rui, and no one wants to live."

However, Ben will guess that most of the prince was not caught by the 'White Snake Army', otherwise Li Zixiao's thief would have used the prince to blackmail us a long time ago. ”

Gu Ye looked rude, but his mind was quite delicate, and at this time he recognized that Duoduo was not caught by Li Zixiao, of course, this was also what he expected.

"Why are you still stunned here, continue to look for the prince."

A roar from Gu Ye caused those Tartars and Mongol generals to disperse one after another, and continued to expand the scope of searching for Duoduo.

At this time, poor Duoduo, with a Tartar soldier, climbed several mountains and forests, and hid in a deserted village where there were no people to live.

It took a lot of effort for Duoduo to finally get out of that mountain, and he still hadn't seen a single citizen, which made him still not know where he was.

This is also to blame themselves, the previous looting behavior, the people around Shouzhang City, either captured or scared away, there are no people within a hundred miles, where did he meet people.

"Lord Wang, you can drink saliva and rest."

In a dilapidated house in this abandoned village, the Tartar soldier untied the water bladder from his waist and handed it to Dordor as he spoke.

Grunt!

Dordort was thirsty and tired, but luckily they had caught two rabbits in the mountains last night and filled their stomachs, if they had not starved.

"Lord Wang, you take a rest in the house, and the minions are guarding outside."

The Tartar soldier said to Dodor.

That Tartar is in this way, first, he is responsible for guarding the safety of Duoduo, and at the same time, he can also detect the Tartar cavalry that may appear outside.

"Good minion, go."

Duoduo waved his hand in satisfaction, he was really tired, lay down on a pile of weeds, and fell asleep.

His eyes turned to Shouzhangcheng's side, and it was just past noon.

At this time, on the Shouzhang city wall, you can see busy White Dragon Army soldiers everywhere, as well as some young and strong figures in the city.

While they were reinforcing the city walls, the soldiers of the White Dragon Army were also instructing these young men and telling them how to defend the city.

"Sir, look!"

Suddenly, Peng Hao, who was standing on the wall of Shouzhang, shouted to Li Zixiao eagerly.

Then, Li Zixiao followed Peng Hao's finger pointing out of the city, and saw that at this time, in the west of Shouzhang City, two White Dragon Army cavalrymen appeared and were rushing towards them.

And behind these two White Dragon Army cavalry, there are a large number of Tartar cavalry chasing and killing.

"It's our people."

Li Zixiao picked up the clairvoyant mirror, looked out of the city, and said.

Peng Hao, who was next to him, also picked up his clairvoyant mirror, looked outside, and then said: "Sir, it's Zhao Ze and them, the people sent by their subordinates to hunt down and kill the Tartar prince." ”

"Come, send a cavalry, bring them into the city, be sure to save them, Ben Jue must know whether Duoduo is dead or alive."

Li Zixiao immediately spoke.

"Sir, let your subordinates go. They are lowly subordinates. ”

Peng Hao, who was next to him, took the initiative to ask.

Li Zixiao looked at Peng Hao, nodded and said, "Go ahead, be careful." ”

"Yes!"

Peng Hao responded excitedly, and then led six hundred White Dragon Army cavalry to quickly rush out of Shouzhang City to meet Zhao Ze and the two.

"Brother, hold on, the general has brought someone to meet us."

At this time, Zhao Ze, who was fleeing towards Shouzhangcheng on horseback, shouted excitedly at a wounded White Dragon Army cavalry behind him when he saw the gate of Shouzhangcheng open and a large group of White Dragon Army cavalry rushed out to meet them.

The three White Dragon Army cavalrymen who followed him back had already killed two after being spotted by the Tartars and biting them, and the last cavalryman who followed him was also seriously wounded, and was barely holding on at this time.

Stomp, stomp!

Soon, the six hundred White Dragon Army cavalry led by Peng Hao met Zhao Ze and the two.

"Zhao Ze, you enter the city, and the Tartar pursuers behind you will be handed over to the general to deal with."

After Peng Hao and Zhao Ze met, he shouted to him, kept the charging formation undispersed, and continued to rush towards the pursuing Tartar cavalry behind.

The Tartar cavalry was only four or five hundred people, and after discovering Peng Hao's White Dragon Army cavalry, they did not stop pursuing, and still rushed over with a crazy scream.

Judging from their desperate way of pursuing, they seemed to want to catch Zhao Ze very much, and even when they saw Peng Hao's cavalry coming out at this time, they were twice as numerous as them, and they refused to give up.

"Hmph, stupid dog Tartar, since you are here to die, then send you on your way.

Soldiers, I have killed the Tartars with this general, kill! Peng Hao grimaced and roared.

"Kill!" Behind him, the six hundred cavalry of the White Dragon Army roared in unison.

Bang bang bang!

Soon, the six hundred cavalry of the White Dragon Army led by Peng Hao rushed together with the cavalry team of the Tartars, and the familiar sound of short guns sounded.

This skirmish cavalry battle between the two sides did not last long.

In the end, after dropping more than forty corpses, the Tartars were defeated by Peng Hao and fled, while Zhao Ze had fled into Shouzhang City.

"Let's go back."

Seeing the defeat of the Tartar cavalry, Peng Hao quickly cleaned up the battlefield, but the corpses of the fallen soldiers on his side, took off the armor on the Tartars, and quickly returned to the city.

"Subordinate Zhao Ze, meet the lord."

At this time, Zhao Ze in the city had already knelt down in front of Li Zixiao.

"Zhao Shichang, please get up, Benjue has something to ask you. What happened to the escaped Tartar prince Duoduo? ”

Li Zixiao asked eagerly.

In fact, Li Zixiao also attaches great importance to Duoduo's life and death, and Duoduo's life and death have a great impact on the next battle between Li Zixiao and Dolgon.

After Zhao Ze heard Li Zixiao's inquiry, he replied: "Sir, I couldn't catch up with that dog Tartar prince and let him run away."

The war horse of the dog Tartar is too fast, and the humble position finally let half of the chasing soldiers, let the war horse, and let the humble position lead people to keep one person and two horses, so as not to fall behind.

But unfortunately, in the end, the prince of the dog Tartar fled into, and we still chased and lost it in a mountain range more than thirty miles to the southwest.

Helpless, the subordinates could only return to report the situation to the lord.

As soon as we passed by the vicinity of Shouzhang City, we met Sun Xianxian's brother who was lurking outside, and knew that the lord had already laid down Shouzhang, so he went straight to Shouzhang.

Unexpectedly, several Tartar cavalry have been wandering outside the city, and after we arrived, they discovered us and chased us all the way.

We lost two brothers, and another brother was seriously wounded, but fortunately the lord sent General Peng out of the city in time to save us. ”

Hearing Zhao Ze's brief explanation, the process of their pursuit of Duoduo, and hearing that they didn't catch Duoduo, Li Zixiao's eyes were slightly disappointed.

"In other words, Duoduo didn't die, and he wasn't caught by you, but hid in a mountain range more than thirty miles to the southwest, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"Well, that's a pity." Li Zixiao sighed.

"Sir, although he failed to catch the Tartar Prince, he seized his helmet.

Those Tartar cavalry just now, it was precisely when they saw their prince's helmet pinned to their waists that they chased us so desperately.

Moreover, they have not killed us.

Apparently trying to capture us alive and get the whereabouts of Duoduo from us, this Tartar should not have found Duoduo yet. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Ze took a white helmet with red edges and a 'lightning rod' from his waist and handed it to Li Zixiao.

This helmet of Duoduo is still clearly different from the helmets of other Tartar cavalrymen with white flags, and the Tartars are easily recognizable.

Li Zixiao took the helmet, looked at it, and whispered to Zhao Ze, "You should be right in your guess, the Tartars should not have found Duoduo yet."

I didn't expect that you have all fled to the southeast more than thirty miles away, such a long distance, no wonder the Tartars didn't expect it, it is estimated that they will have to look for a while. ”

After saying that, Li Zixiao's face showed a sneer: "Duoduo, Duoduo, this time it is your fate." ”

"Okay, Zhao Ze, although you didn't catch Duoduo this time, Benjue knows that you did your best, go down and have a good rest, there is still a big battle to fight next."

Li Zixiao said to Zhao Ze.

"Yes, retire from your duties."

After Zhao Ze retreated, Li Zixiao casually put Duoduo's helmet on the table, and whispered to himself: "I hope that Tartar can find Duoduo later, it's best to not find it, then it's good." ”

What Li Zixiao didn't know was that his wish had been fulfilled at this time, and the thousands of Tartar cavalry led by Gu Ye still hadn't found Duoduo.

"Report, Lord Qi, General Du has a message from the east gate.

On the side of the east gate, a large force of Tartar cavalry suddenly appeared, with five or six thousand horsemen, which seemed to come from the east gate. ”

Soon, a White Dragon Army cavalryman ran to Li Zixiao and knelt down to report the situation.

"Oh? Five, six, and seven cavalry appeared outside the East City Gate? Could it be that Dorgon's army has arrived?

No, most of them are Dolgon's vanguards, but it won't take long for Dolgon's army to arrive. ”

After Li Zixiao heard the report of this White Dragon Army soldier, he immediately guessed the origin of the five or six thousand Tartar cavalry who came outside the East City Gate.

"You go back and tell Du Tengfei to guard the city gate, even if the Tartar cavalry provokes, you will not go out of the city to face the battle.

Wait until the time when Dolgon's main army is in order, and then issue the trumpet. ”

Li Zixiao said.

"Yes." The soldier immediately left.

Woooooo

On the afternoon of the 9th, when he arrived at three o'clock, Li Zixiao was in the city, personally leading people to practice, and those young men who had just been recruited suddenly heard the sound of horns at the east gate of Shouzhang City.

"No, Dolgon's army has arrived."

After Li Zixiao heard the dull and melodious sound of the horn, he raised his head suddenly, looked to the east, his face was solemn, and said in a deep voice.
