After all, Li Zicheng still led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat into Nanyang Mansion, ready to resist stubbornly.

When Li Zicheng entered Nanyang Mansion, Xu Yifan led the army belatedly and surrounded Nanyang Mansion.

Looking at the tents of the Ming army under the city, Li Zicheng's heart was shocked, the elite of the Ming army was too majestic, extremely brave, this group of rabble under his own command, there was no hope of turning the tables, and now the hope was completely pinned on Li Dingguo and Liu Tichun, these two buddies must arrive in time, otherwise, this time they can only be burned!

Outside Nanyang City, Xu Yifan led the cavalry battalion of the front army, the infantry battalion of the rear army and part of the cavalry of the Qin army, adding up to more than 20,000 people to the city.

In the military tent, Xu Yifan sat in the middle, Xiao Ting and Yang Chengzu looked at Xu Yifan quietly.

"Old Xiao, where is Shu Xinchen now?"

Xu Yifan asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Ting hurriedly replied: "Yifan, in Xinchen led 6,000 cavalry has broken through to the Xinye area, is urgently deploying an ambush, the scouts in front have heard the news, the thief Liu Tichun has once again gathered nearly 30,000 cavalry in Xiangyang, is preparing to advance towards Nanyang Mansion, according to the distance, I am afraid that it will not take more than ten days, you can kill in Henan." โ€

Xu Yifan sneered: "Well, since this is the case, then we will slowly accompany Li Zicheng to play in Nanyang, and order, in the past few days, we will launch an attack on Nanyang Mansion every day, don't get too close, lest we die unjustly, let's just sit and wait for the fish to take the bait!" โ€

Yang Chengzu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Yifan, if the thieves gather twenty or thirty thousand troops again, then Xinchen can withstand it?" This is not a joke, even if the elite cavalry of the forward battalion is strong, it is definitely not an easy thing to defeat or even encircle and annihilate the 20,000 or 30,000 invading troops......

Xu Yifan replied lightly: "Brother Chengzu, don't worry, Brother Xinchen is not a young man who just led the troops to fight, he surrounded the thieves in a small space, the formation of the thieves could not be used, and they were suddenly attacked, they were definitely not the opponents of the cavalry, and only the wanton slaughter of the cavalry soldiers was waiting for them!" โ€

Xiao Ting gritted his teeth and asked, "Or, are we supporting Xinchen's 3,000 cavalry?" It's a little more secure! โ€

Xu Yifan shook his head and replied: "No, we currently have insufficient troops, only less than 30,000 troops, Brother Xinchen has taken away six or seven thousand cavalry, and the remaining are only 20,000 people, no matter how few troops are, then we can't trap Nanyang Mansion, however, we can't be careless, pass on the order, adjust the operational deployment, and put the focus of our attack, from the north city, to the south city, the right wing battalion of the forward is all assembled in the south city to standby, once Xinye's ambush is in trouble, Brother Chengzu, you will lead the cavalry to the south with all your might, Answering the Left Wing Battalion ......"

The Ming army moved quickly, and in just one day, all preparations for the attack were ready.

Xu Yifan gave an order, and the artillery took the lead in launching an artillery bombardment on the south of Nanyang City, and one shell after another flew towards the head of Nanyang City, and the city wall of Nanyang Mansion was full of smoke and dust, and the army was busy dodging, and a series of screams came from the head of the city.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Ming infantry began to rush towards the city wall, and waves of feathered arrows shot at the head of the city!

The dense sound of artillery shook the heavens and the earth, and Li Zicheng, who was in the prefect's yamen, heard it clearly, and was shocked, he didn't expect the Ming army to launch an attack so quickly, and the location where the attack was launched turned out to be Nancheng!

"Zong Min, immediately lead three thousand soldiers to Nancheng to ensure that Nancheng is foolproof!"

Li Zicheng shouted urgently.

Liu Zongmin hurriedly agreed, turned around and went down to gather troops.

"Nancheng, Nancheng...... What is this Ming army general going to do? โ€

Li Zicheng frowned and muttered.

Song Xiance on the side suddenly smiled and said: "King Chuang, maybe it's a good thing, hehe......"

Li Zicheng was stunned and said, "Military advisor, what do you mean by this?" โ€

Song Xiance sneered: "King Chuang, although I still don't know what the Ming army's intention is to attack Nancheng, it is obvious that the Ming army has committed a taboo!" The main force of the Ming army has all crossed Nanyang City, the main force is deployed in Nancheng, and there are still some troops to contain our energy in the east and west cities, but in this way, the north city is vacant for us, presumably they think that even if we escape from the city and escape, we will not flee to the north. However, in this way, their grain route is completely exposed in front of us, as long as we send a force to cut off the grain route of the Ming army, it will not take long for the Ming army to be cut off from grain and grass, and the army will be in turmoil, at that time, Liu Tichun and Li Dingguo led the army to arrive, but I am afraid that the end of the Ming army is coming......"

Li Zicheng's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "Yes, yes, military advisor, you are a person who woke up from a dream with a word!" The lone army went deep and marched lightly, but the Ming army was finally caught by us this time! Liu Fangliang! โ€

Liu Fangliang on the side hurriedly bowed down and said, "King Chuang!" โ€

"Immediately gather two thousand elite troops, sneak out of Nanyang Mansion tonight, cruise around Fangcheng in the north, once you find the grain team of the Ming army, give me all my strength, be sure to burn all their grain and grass!" This is the key to turning the tide of the war, Fang Liang, this battle, but only win, not defeat, once lost, you know the serious consequences! โ€

Li Zicheng shouted in a deep voice.

Liu Fangliang was in high spirits and shouted: "Don't worry, King Chuang, this battle is handed over to me, encircling and annihilating their grain transportation forces, may not be able to catch it, but to kill their grain and grass, there is absolutely no problem, don't forget, what we are best at is this tactic!" โ€

Liu Fangliang hurriedly went down to prepare.

Li Zicheng looked at Song Xiance and said with a smile: "Military advisor, this time in my heart, I am a lot more down-to-earth, as long as we can hold on for ten days to half a month, Li Dingguo and Liu Tichun will come to Nanyang, when the time comes, the Ming army has no grain and grass, no reinforcements outside, Lao Tzu will annihilate them all in Nanyang Mansion to avenge this arrow!" โ€

When Li Zicheng was excited, Guoyi's general Liu Zhanshu hurriedly walked in and said urgently: "King Chuang, King Chuang, there is news in the east!" โ€

Li Zicheng's heart was shocked, and then he said: "Liu Zhanshu, what news is coming from the east?" โ€

Liu Zhanshu smiled astringently and replied: "King Chuang, Li Yan and the Red Lady blocked the Ming army in Guide Mansion, and the Ming army was defeated at the beginning, and even the Ming army's main general Qin Han was killed, but in a few days, the situation changed abruptly, Zhu Jie suddenly went to Guide Mansion, forcibly crossed the Dasha River, defeated the main force of our army, captured Guide Mansion, Li Yan and his wife were all captured, the Ming army under the leadership of the fierce general Qin Mufeng, all the way south, straight to Nanyang Mansion, now all the troops in Chenzhou have been withdrawn into Nanyang, it will not take long, The left flank army of the Ming army will arrive in Nanyang! โ€
