Li Zicheng died on Phoenix Mountain in the south of Qizhou, and his body was quickly transported back to the Dashun military camp at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain by Nong Danian and others.

Song Xiance, Gu Junen, Yu Shangyou, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, Hao Shaoqi, Liu Tichun, Zhang Nai, Wu Ruyi and other military generals of the Dashun Dynasty were all panicked.

The morale of the Dashun army was already very low, with Li Zicheng, the emperor, still struggling to maintain the situation, and now Li Zicheng, the backbone, is gone, and everyone can use the word despair to describe it.

When Shao Hua arrived at Dabie Mountain, Wu Sangui, who was originally frustrated by the offensive and was ready to go back to reinforce Azig, heard that Li Zicheng had died, and then waved his army from Meichuan to the southern foot of Dabie Mountain;

The morale of the Dashun army dropped to the freezing point, and a large number of deserters appeared during this period; Guiwa, Guling, Yangjiayuan, Dongjialing, Xiayuyuan and other military villages were lost one after another, and the Dashun army was leaderless and could completely collapse at any time.

Shao Hua urgently consulted with Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, Hao Shaoqi, Liu Tiren and other generals of the Great Shun Army, in fact, when they arrived in this field, Yuan Zongdi and others had no extra choice, either to surrender to the Qing, or to flee for their lives, or to throw themselves into the arms of the Qin army.

Shao Hua quickly cut through the mess and agreed to most of the conditions they proposed.

And Shao Hua put forward only one condition, that is, to send the family members of the Dashun army across the river to settle as soon as possible.

Liu Fangliang and the others knew very well that Qin Mu wanted them to show the most basic sincerity, and if they were sincere, it would be beneficial for them to place their families in the safe Huguang.

First of all, the family members are safe, and they no longer have to flee with the army and starve.

In addition, they will not be dragged down by the old and weak, women and children in the future, and they can fight flexibly, and their chances of survival and victory will be greatly increased.

If they didn't even agree to this, it would be absolutely impossible to convince Qin Mu that they were truly attached.

So they didn't hesitate too much. So he agreed.

As soon as this condition was negotiated, the two sides changed from a cooperative relationship to a subordinate relationship.

Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu and others began to announce the news of joining the Qin army to the soldiers, and at the same time explained that Qin Mu had agreed to a series of favorable conditions.

Overnight, this Dashun army was all replaced with the banner of the Qin army. With support and hope, morale has been restored a lot.

Nearly 100,000 old and weak women and children are looking forward to living a stable life in Huguang as soon as possible.

After getting rid of this side of Dabie Mountain. Shao Hua immediately brought Song Xiance and Gu Junen back to Wuchang, and before leaving, he repeatedly assured Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang and others that Liu Meng, the general of the Qin army, would soon cross the river in a big way and attack Wu Sangui together.

When he was in Dabie Mountain, Shao Hua didn't say a word about Li Guo's army, and after taking Song Xiance and Gu Junen across the river, he suddenly remembered it, and told the two of them the whereabouts of Li Guo's army, and at the same time asked Song Xiance to rush to Li Guo's army as soon as possible. Persuade.

Liu Meng, who had already prepared for Haode, led an army of 20,000 that night to cross the north bank of the Yangtze River with the assistance of the Poyang Lake Water Division, and advanced to Guangji City. directly threatened Wu Sangui's right flank, forcing Wu Sangui to temporarily retreat to Luotian.

Under the cover of the two armies, the families of the original Dashun Army began to cross the river in batches and head south.

*********

Under the city of Hanyang, the Qing army suffered heavy casualties. But there was still no hope of breaking the city, on the contrary, Azig's green battalion soldiers were under Qin Mu's powerful propaganda offensive. ran nearly halfway through, which made the morale plummet.

At this time, Azig received Wu Sangui's request for help, saying that the family members of the Dashun army were rushing south under the cover of the Qin army, and Azig immediately dismounted from the donkey, abandoned Hanyang City, and led the army to Huangzhou.

The Qin army not only thwarted the attack of Azig under the city of Hanyang, but also brought the news that Ziling Town had completely annihilated Shang Kexi's 40,000 army, and the three armies cheered and thundered, and their morale was like a rainbow.

Seeing that the morale was available, Qin Mu immediately ordered 20,000 steps to ride, went out of Hanyang, crossed the Han River, chased Azig at the end, and forced towards Huangzhou.

Qin Jun's actions completely angered the brutal Azig, in his opinion, the Qin army relied on the high walls of the city and was able to block his attack, which was already a great luck, and he dared to chase him out at this time, isn't this looking for death?

Enraged, Azig did not go to Luotian to join Wu Sangui, and led the army to turn around and kill back.

Qin Mu played the trick of the enemy retreating and I advancing, and the enemy advancing and I retreating, and when Azig was almost killed, he immediately retreated to Huangpi County, which was not far from Hankou.

Azig chased after Huangpi and stormed for a long time, seeing that he was about to fall into a war of attrition under Hanyang City, he was so angry that he was smoking, but he had nothing to do.

Waiting for Azig to withdraw his troops eastward with a scolding curse, he soon heard that Qin Mu was catching up.

Although Azig has a brutal personality and is brave and unscrupulous, he is not a fool after all, this time he learned a lesson and did not kill him immediately, but pretended not to know that Qin Mu was chasing after him and continued to go east, he decided to lead Qin Mu away from the nest and then turn back to kill.

Huangpi to Luotian is about 300 miles away, surrounded by a horse and a flat river, which is conducive to cavalry combat, and Qin Mu is mostly infantry, wait for him to be led across the Jushui River, see where he escapes?

The Jushui River originates at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain, flows south through Macheng, and is probably located in the middle of Huangpi and Luotian.

Looking at the river flowing south, as strong as Huo Sheng, as brave as Niu Wanchuan, they all began to hesitate.

Su Jin first said: "My lord, once the water is lifted and Azig returns to the division to attack, we will have no way to retreat, the surrounding area is hundreds of miles flat, which is extremely unfavorable to our army, please think twice." ”

Liu Yongzhi also persuaded: "My lord, although Azig has suffered a heavy defeat under the city of Hanyang, the remaining troops are not weaker than ours, this place is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Luotian, Wu Sangui is also very likely to rush to reinforcements, the two have a combined army of 50,000, and all are cavalry, our army of 20,000 horses once they cross the river, there is no way back, and the situation will be extremely dangerous." ”

Yue Zhongliang, deputy general Cao Taiping, Niu Wanshan, Niu Wanchuan, Lin Shaoxing and others also dissuaded them.

Reason told Qin Mu that it was indeed dangerous to cross the river.

But stopping there is undoubtedly a serious blow to the high morale.

And from the hesitant eyes of the senior generals, Qin Mu realized that the Qin army's psychological advantage over the Tartars had not really been established.

In Hanyang, relying on the city defense battle to exhaust the Tartars, and then go out of the city to counterattack, although they won, but the generals felt that it was not a real field battle, and in the real field battle, they still lacked the confidence to win.

Qin Mu pressed the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice, "We can't hide in the turtle shell forever. ”

"Adult"

"Do you remember the Han general Li Ling? He led 5,000 infantry deep into the barren, and in the first battle, 5,000 infantry against 30,000 Hun iron cavalry, killing thousands of enemies; In another battle, 5,000 against 80,000, 3,000 enemies. Fight again, 4,000 against 70,000, and kill thousands more. Li Ling used hard facts to tell us that infantry can also defeat cavalry. ”

"My lord, but Zuihou Li Ling was still wiped out, and he became a prisoner of the Huns."

"Although defeated, you are honored!" Qin Mu resolutely said, "The total number of Manchurian and Mongolian troops is only 100,000, and the number of my Han people is hundreds of millions, even if you exchange a hundred for one, you can also wipe the Tartars off the earth, and what we will lack is just the courage to die." Today, let's start with the official! If you don't have the courage to die, stay in the West Bank. This official has no hesitation, even if he dies on the east coast, he will bite off a piece of Tartar meat, let him feel pain in his heart and lungs, and let him know that there are still people who dare to return a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood in my Han people. ”

As soon as Qin Mu's words fell, all the generals around him fell to the ground with a bang, all of them clenched their teeth, their eyes were blood-red, and they roared in a hoarse voice: "I am willing to die with my lord!" ”

The generals knelt on one knee and roared loudly, and when the three sergeants heard it, they fell like a tide in an instant, and shouted in unison:

"I wish to die with my lords!"

"I wish to die with my lords!"

"I wish to die with my lords!"

On the flat land, at the edge of the water, only Qin Mu was left standing like a mountain, and the huge sound shook the water as if it were boiling.

Qin Mu pressed the giant sword and shouted, "Get up!" Prepare now and cross the river tomorrow. ”

"Whoa!"

PS: I found that at the end of the month, other houses are fishing for monthly passes, why didn't I move here, is it because I am worried that the enemy will find out about our river-crossing operation, so we have to be quiet?

Don't mind! Let's be low-key, do things in a high-profile manner, and are not afraid of being discovered.

Ask for a commuter pass!
