Li Hu's death was as inconspicuous as a wave annihilated in the vast ocean in this chaotic era. No one cares how sad his final journey was. In this era, there are too many people with tragic fates.

Even the dragoons who chased him in the wind and snow on the prairie, and successfully chased and eliminated Li Hu, just felt that this was just a good battle achievement for themselves and completed the task assigned by the national teacher.

As for Gao Yang, it is even more impossible for him to set his sights on such insignificant little things and small people.

The process of recovering Xuanfu Town was very smooth. The homeless people surrendered very simply after losing their backbone and being frightened by the terrible artillery fire. There was no longer any organized resistance in the entire Xuanfu Town.

As for the Mongolian tribes outside the Saiwai, they have been frightened by the shocking battle of the Ming Dynasty against the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In addition, it was the middle of winter when the snow was falling, and even if the side wall of Xuanfu Town was already dilapidated, no one dared to violate the border at such a time.

"The Mongols are definitely going to be expelled, but not now." Gao Yang, who was riding on the Shenjun warhorse, stretched out his hand and tightened his collar that was a little windy, and said softly.

Beside him, a large new army marched on the road to Datong Province. When you look up, you can't see the end, and there are magnificent New Army troops everywhere.

= "Understood. The Mongols can wait until later, though. After changing the topic, he asked with a smile, "Don't you feel a little familiar with this road?" You've been here before. ”

"It's still not the same." Gao Yang took out the steaming coffee cup from the storage space and leisurely took a sip of warm coffee to warm up. After looking around, he shook his head slightly and said, "During the Song Dynasty, the road was not the same as in this era. But the gap is not too big. The general outline can still be barely seen. After all, so many years have passed. ”

"It's really boring, don't you miss the glory days of the past?" Yuan Dian paused, and then asked, "How do you feel about leading the army to Datong Mansion again?" ”

"What's the big deal?" Gao Yang hooked the corners of his mouth, put away the coffee cup, and chuckled, "I've been there more times in Jingshi!" It doesn't matter when or where. What matters is what I get. I achieved my goal. Got what I wanted. Go what you want to do, and that's enough. After all, neither Da Ming nor Da Song is my home. ”

"Okay." The origin said angrily, "You are so realistic, can't you be literary?" ”

"I'm all this age, and you still let me be literary and artistic? Can we talk about something meaningful? Don't digress, okay? Listening to the words of the origin, Gao Yang said with a wry smile full of black lines.

"I like literary fan." The origin muttered and asked, "After conquering Datong, do you want to continue to go south?" ”

Gao Yang turned his head to look at the army that could not be seen. Breathing a sigh of relief, he shook his head slightly, lowered his eyelids, and whispered, "No." Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the rest of the things will be talked about after the New Year. And there is. I'm going to give Li Zicheng a chance to keep circulating and escape, right? If you don't drive him to another place, who will clean up the relatives of the vassal kings and emperors there, and the high-ranking families who hold thousands of acres of fertile land and have black-hearted pawnshops and rice shops? I don't want to get my hands dirty. ”

"You're really bad. Borrowing a knife to kill people makes you say so high-sounding. Yuan said with a smile.

"It's not bad people." Gao Yang took out a pair of wide black sunglasses and put them on, looking at the white expanse in front of him, reflecting the dazzling sunlight of the snowfield. He said indifferently, "I'm just doing what most people want to do, but can't do." ”

Li Guo, also known as Li Jin, is Li Zicheng's nephew. When he was young, he followed Li Zicheng to start the army, and when he was a teenager, he lived in the army and experienced war. Extremely experienced in battle formations.

Li Guo was brave and fierce when he fought, often taking the lead, and was known as "a tiger" in the peasant army. "Very prestigious. He also likes to read, collecting a collection of rare books to read everywhere he goes. Especially those military books. This hobby is completely different from those peasant army generals who are mostly fond of a lot of yellow and white things and delicate official beauties.

Although Li Guo is young, his gaze is very accurate. When the news of the collapse of the more than 100,000 troops under Li Hu's command reached Datong Mansion, he immediately understood that it was impossible for these rabble under his command to stop the attack of those Xiao Yong's officers and soldiers.

After some careful consideration, Li Guo finally decided to give up this dangerous place in the clouds. With the army, he turned back to Xi'an.

"Rather than lose all your soldiers and horses here, it's better to bring them all back. When he fights a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers in the future, he will avenge today's revenge! This is Li Guo's thoughts. He is Li Zicheng's own nephew. If others flee without a fight, they will definitely not be able to escape Li Zicheng's punishment. But if it was replaced by Li Guo, it would be just a scolding at most.

In line with the true character of the peasant army as locusts crossing the border, leaving not a single grass behind. Li Guo, who had already made up his mind to escape, ordered the entire cloud to be swept away. All the people, money, and goods were taken away, and nothing was left for the officers and soldiers. The things that could not be taken away were also destroyed as much as possible to add trouble to the officers and soldiers.

Li Guo couldn't have known that every move of the military horses under his command was clearly seen by the unmanned reconnaissance planes that had been monitoring the movements of the peasant army in the high altitude.

After discovering that Li Guo had the intention of escaping with the whole army, Gao Yang quickly ordered the army to attack lightly, carrying only a few days of dry food and personal equipment. Rapid movement in the direction of the clouds. It doesn't matter if you force Li Zicheng away, but you also need to weaken his strength as much as possible! Shatter Li Zicheng's confidence in wanting to fight to the death with the official army!

Long hours of rigorous training, serious and harsh military discipline, and sufficient nutritional supplements. These external conditions are extremely powerful at this time when it is necessary to show their abilities.

This new army, which was mainly composed of light infantry, ran at an astonishing marching speed. It only took them a short time to go from Xuanfu Town to the clouds!

By the time Li Guo received this shocking news, the new army led by Gao Yang was already less than a hundred miles away from Datong Mansion. This kind of marching speed is like flying in this era!

"How is this possible?!" Li Guo, who received the information, overturned the table in front of him in shock. Li Guo could hardly believe the authenticity of this information. Did those officers and soldiers all grow wings and fly over? From Xuanfu Town to Datong Mansion, the road is difficult and dangerous, and the road is rugged. Those are still snowing in the cold weather. Those officers and soldiers arrived so soon?! It's just a joke!

A cold chill instantly surged through the whole body from the depths of my heart! Li Guo knew that this Ming army was very strong, but he definitely never thought that they would be so strong! In the march of more than 10,000 people in the army of this era, it is already a great achievement to be able to travel 30 miles a day. However, it took less than three days for this officer army to travel nearly 300 miles! Drugged, right?

After forcibly calming himself down, Li Guo quickly ordered the military horses of the old battalion to quickly assemble and prepare to escape. I didn't even think about waiting for those large but extremely low combat effectiveness of the outcasts.

Li Guo prepared to leave here as soon as possible and return to Xi'an. As for the homeless people who could not do anything but eat, they were naturally abandoned.

In Li Guo's heart, it would be best if these displaced people could stop the progress of the officers and soldiers and buy time for the evacuation of the people in the old camp. If it really doesn't work, the terrifying number of homeless people can also be used to slow down the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, and at the same time deplete the food reserves of the officers and soldiers.

Of course, Li Guo's actions could not hide from the eyes of the sky. Gao Yang accurately predicted Li Guo's intention to escape with the elite first. Immediately ordered all the cavalry to attack quickly to hunt down the core elements of the bandit group of the Great Shun Dynasty. The slower infantry continued to move quickly towards the area in the clouds, intending to restore order in the area as soon as possible.

At this time, those displaced people who have lost their command are frantically destroying everything in the clouds. The strong bully the weak, and the group oppresses the lonely. Robbery, murder, adultery and other crimes are everywhere. For Gao Yang, who existed as the guardian of the Ming Empire, he naturally wanted to stop all this

In the direction of Datong Mansion to Taiyuan, an unknown river flows from west to east through a low and desolate hill, winding and rushing towards the distance.

It was the middle of winter, and the river was already frozen. But it is not easy for a large group of people to quickly get through the smooth ice.

Li Guo, whose face was impatient and his chest was constantly rising and falling, rode a high-headed horse that kept shaking his nose, and he was wearing a cotton coat with a very good-looking style and an extremely heavy inside. He was full of impatience and urged his subordinates to cross the river as soon as possible. This coat is naturally a high-end product bought from Lifang by the spies who went to Jingshi to inquire about the news.

Unlike Li Hu, a fool who insisted on wearing a neat battle armor in the cold weather, Li Guo didn't want to be frozen into a big popsicle while marching. Heavy cotton clothing and silk lining can effectively provide warmth and keep him from freezing in the cold weather in the wild. But others don't have that kind of treatment.

The old camp under Li Guo had nearly 5,000 people. These horses pulled out an extremely long queue with a large number of goods that they had accumulated over the years of looting, or stolen from the dead. Not only did they slow down the march, but they also left a huge hidden danger in the face of danger.

If someone raids them, then these veteran oilers can't do anything but bomb the camp. The army under Li Guo can only fight a good battle. Once something is wrong, these veterans will inevitably choose to protect themselves first! (To be continued......) r12 )
