It is impossible for Zhang Xianzhong's 160,000 army to run 400 miles in two days like Qin Mu, and he took the Pingxiang route back to Changsha, which was more than half of the distance. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least eleven or twelve days for an army of more than 100,000 troops.

Finally arrived in Pingxiang, and encountered the continuous autumn rain, all day without an eye to the time, this kind of weather, if not rain, just feel slightly cool, but once the body is wet, it will be so cold that you shiver.

In addition, the road is muddy and extremely difficult to walk, although Zhang Xianzhong is like an arrow, but in this case, he really can't march, so he has to temporarily stay in Pingxiang and wait for God to watch, at this time, waiting is undoubtedly the most painful thing for him.

He is not rich in food and herbs, and if he drags on for one more day, his morale will drop by one point, and his chances of winning will be one point less. And for Qin Mu, who is recruiting troops and building a defensive line, one more day, he can make more preparations, and he can have one more chance of victory.

In addition, with Wu Xueli behind him, it seems that he has become a state of being attacked by the enemy. Zhang Xianzhong was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night, and his hair was about to turn white.

At this time, there was news that Chenzhou was broken by Ganzhou soldiers and horses, and Huguang, who had finally been defeated, became full of holes in a blink of an eye, so angry that Zhang Xianzhong was really crazy, and the soldiers in front of the tent were cut down by him several times, and even Xu Yixian was scolded by him several times.

Not to mention how Zhang Xianzhong from Pingxiang is crazy, but to say that Sun Kewang from Yuezhou is also anxious at the moment, he is Zhang Xianzhong's most trusted general, and after being accepted by Zhang Xianzhong as his son, he changed his surname to Zhang, and now he should be called Zhang Kewang. He led an army of 100,000 to guard Yueyang, mainly to prevent Zuo Liangyu, who was lingering in the Dazhi area, from going south, and then to fight with Ai Nengqi, who stayed in Wuchang, to prevent Zuo Liangyu from attacking Wuchang.

When Zhang Xianzhong went south, he left less than 20,000 people for Ai Nengqi, and Li Zicheng was in Xiangyang at that time, and Zuo Liangyu was afraid of Li Zicheng. Don't dare to attack Wuchang, now that most of Li Zicheng's troops have gone north, the fear in Zuo Liangyu's heart has gone, and Zhang Kewang doesn't dare to guarantee that Zuo Liangyu will not attack Wuchang.

So after learning that Qin Mu attacked Changsha and recruited troops and horses, Sun Kewang did not dare to go south with all his might, but Changsha was not recaptured, Qin Mu's hand was like a robbery in Go, and Zhang Xianzhong's 200,000 army became a turtle in the urn. Trapped in the Pingxiang area, if you don't save Zhang Xianzhong, the big dragon, you will become a dead dragon.

Sun Kewang, who was in a dilemma, had to leave 50,000 horses in Yueyang to guard against Zuo Liangyu in the north, and he led 50,000 troops to the south quickly, but there were still hundreds of miles away from Xiangyin, and he also encountered continuous autumn rain;

Sun Kewang scolded God and forced the army to continue south, but in this case, the speed of the march can be described as turtle speed, the road is full of mud, and the soldiers slide step by step. At the end of the day, it took 20 miles to get out of the 20 miles, and it was even more difficult for the logistics grain and grass to keep up, and the 50,000 soldiers complained. There were even quite a few people who quietly deserted during the night.

Well, let's spread our wings in a big peng, travel 90,000 miles a day, and then press Zhang Kewang, who is struggling to move forward. Let's start by looking north of the river.

Because during the period of the Huguang War, the western part of Henan was also engaged in a huge battle that was related to the changes in the world. I'm sure you've guessed the two players who appeared on the stage. One is Li Zicheng and the other is Sun Chuanting.

The two players knew at a glance that it was not the same class;

Li Zicheng's classmates have big shoulders and round waists, and his biceps are jumping straight, looking around and looking at me;

Sun Chuanting's classmate is just the opposite, he lacks calcium when he is young, he lacks love when he grows up, he looks malnourished, his face is yellow and thin, and he climbs into the ring with both hands and feet.

To be honest, classmate Sun Chuanting didn't want to fight this fight, but classmate Chongzhen took a stick and kept stabbing him in the back chrysanthemum, and stabbed him into the ring.

In August, under the repeated urging of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting swore an oath in the Guandi Temple in Xi'an, and commanded 100,000 troops such as Bai Guangen, Gao Jie, and Niu Chenghu to go east to Tongguan, and at the same time mobilized people from all walks of life to attack Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng originally wanted to return to Shaanxi, but when he learned the news that Sun Chuanting led the army out of the customs, he was overjoyed and went north to meet the enemy.

At this time, due to years of war and chaos in Henan, there was a shortage of grain and grass, so Li Zicheng adopted the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, deploying the main force in the area south of Jiaxian, and leaving the logistics problem to Sun Chuanting, who had traveled a long distance.

As the Dashun army abandoned the vast area from Tongguan to Jiaxian, the Shaanxi official army was like a bamboo, occupied Luoyang in early August, attacked Ruzhou on September 8, and Li Yangchun, the fourth king of the Dashun army, surrendered.

After Li Yangchun surrendered, he leaked secrets to the official army, causing great losses to the Dashun army, and he reported: The old camp of the Dashun army was in Tang County, the elite troops were in Xiangcheng, and the local civil and military officials were gathered in Baofeng.

Sun Chuanting took targeted actions based on this information, first breaking through Baofeng, beheading Chen Kexin, the puppet state pastor, and then marching to Tang County to kill the families of the Dashun army who were placed there.

On 14 September, the main force of the official army and the Dashun army fought a fierce battle in Jiaxian, the Dashun army was defeated and fled, the official army pursued closely, the general of Guoyi Xie Junyou was captured and killed, and Li Ziyuan himself was almost captured. Later, the Dashun army fled into Xiangcheng, and the official army also followed.

In the face of the crisis, some officers and men of the People's Army had the idea of surrendering. Li Zicheng said to his subordinates: "Don't worry, I will kill the vassal king, burn the imperial tomb, the crime is unforgivable, you might as well fight to the death again, if you can't win, it's not too late for you to kill me and surrender." ”

At this time, God helped Li Zicheng, and a cold air swept from the north to the south of the Ming Dynasty, and it rained heavily for seven days in the Xiangcheng area. The officers and soldiers in the open house outside the city were in great distress, and because the roads were muddy, it was difficult for the grain trucks of the officers and soldiers to move, and there were logistical problems for the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers hoped to get supplies from Po Jia County, but Jia County had already sat on the empty mountain, and only got some mules and horses after breaking the city, which was soon eaten up by the soldiers.

At this time, Li Zicheng sent the general Liu Zongmin to lead 10,000 cavalry from the small road to the rear of the official army, cutting off the grain route of the official army.

Sun Chuanting had no choice but to decide to go back to the division to welcome the grain, and he ordered Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Henan, to stay in the barracks, and he led the officials and troops of Shaanxi to return to the division by way to open up the grain road.

Chen Yongfu's soldiers were indignant when they saw that the Shaanxi officials and troops were gone, but they were left behind to starve and serve as substitutes for the dead, and they all retreated behind the Shaanxi officials and troops (the former army moved). After the army rebellion), Chen Yongfu could not control the situation (Yongfu could not stop), the official army was in chaos, Li Zicheng took the opportunity to attack, and the entire official army collapsed.

The officers and troops fled to Nanyang to recover and turned around to meet the Dashun army, and the two sides started a big battle.

There are five battle formations of the Dashun army, the first is the hungry, the second is the infantry, and the third is the cavalry. The fourth is the elite cavalry, and the fifth is the family.

The officers and troops broke through the first three battle formations of the people's army, and the elite cavalry of the fourth battle formation could not hold on, and in the fierce battle, Bai Guangen's train battalion could not resist and was the first to rout.

The rout of the train battalion triggered a chain reaction, and the cavalry could not resist and fled, and the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically in an instant, from the two sides fighting each other to one chasing and killing the other.

The Great Shun Army poured out. The pursuit was relentless, and more than 400 miles were pursued in one day and one night, with more than 40,000 officers and soldiers killed and hundreds of thousands of weapons and baggage lost.

This campaign. The only "pair of belongings" of the Ming Dynasty was lost and became a lamb to be slaughtered, and the strategic problems of the Dashun army were also solved and the results of the battle were expanded. It is only a matter of time before the situation is seized by the situation.

In general, Sun Chuanting's performance in this battle was remarkable, worthy of the name of a famous general. Although his face was yellow and thin when he played, he almost crippled Li Zicheng, who had a big waist and a round waist, by various means.

Maybe it's really the Ming Qi is exhausted, even the drought in Henan, coincidentally at the most critical time of this battle, there was a seven-day continuous heavy rain, which made Sun Chuanting's logistics make up for the problem, so that Li Zicheng was able to turn over and turn defeat into victory.

Looking back, they are both rebels, but Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's luck is not the same, this rainy weather that swept the north and south of the river from north to south helped Zhang Xianzhong a favor, making him stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate himself;

If Huguang also had a seven-day continuous heavy rain, Qin Mu would not have to fight, and it was estimated that Zhang Xianzhong's 160,000 army would collapse due to the lack of food and grass.

Zuihou, let's go north and take a look, the sky above the capital is full of haze, the Forbidden City is miserable and bitter, the whole city is gloomy, Li Zicheng defeated Sun Chuanting, Zhang Xianzhong swept across Huguang, just like two yin winds, blowing the old man of the Ming Dynasty trembling.

The glamorous and enchanting Tian Guifei is grinding ink in the imperial study, the candles in the room are bright and out, the light is dim, and the young and decrepit Chongzhen classmate is wearing a patched dragon robe, and he has no interest in Tian Guifei's beauty, he is trembling with a pen, and is brewing the fifth sin in his life; It's just that he only issued an edict in June, and now he has issued it again, but he doesn't know what to say for a while.

After brewing and brewing, Chongzhen decided that this edict would not be stopped for the time being, because there was only one voice left in his heart shouting angrily: I, not the king of the dead country, you are the ministers of the dead country!

Let's not look at the bleak scene of Jingshi, let's spread our wings and fly to the northeast to see what the nascent Manchu Dynasty is like.

On September 21, the big fat emperor Huang Taiji died suddenly in the harem of Shengjing, at the age of 52, and his life was summed up by his minions in seventeen words: Ying Tianxingguo Hongde Zhangwu Kuan Wenren Shengrui Xiaowen Emperor.

In the sound of mourning music, a political storm was rapidly brewing and stirring in Shengjing City, and Da Yu'er, Dolgon, Hauge, Duoduo, etc., fought fiercely around the chair left by Huang Taiji;

In the palace, the plump and charming Da Yu'er had ten slender fingers, tearing off her clothes little by little, revealing her charming carcass, she was just thirty years old this year, not too old, and properly maintained, the carcass was still very ecstatic.

With such capital, how can she not use it, of course, she is a woman, and she only has such capital left.

So, she decided to become famous.

Let those who watch the throne lose themselves in their seductive carcass, and weaken themselves in their own coquettish moans, and have no more heart to snatch that chair.
