At this time, in Baoji City, in addition to the remaining more than 30,000 Ming troops and coalition troops that were fought before, there were also 20,000 horses brought over by Hong Chengchou himself, totaling more than 50,000. Among the more than 50,000 horses, there were about 4,500 cavalry.

At the same time that Meng Hu took Qin Shuhuai's warrant to gather the cavalry, Qin Shuhuai also found Hong Chengchou and told him about Li Zicheng's "golden cicada shell" from Ankang.

As soon as he heard this, he knew that Li Zicheng must have gone to Weinan, and if he had set off more than two days ago, he would have arrived in Weinan soon. When the time comes, the He Renlong Department of the siege of Weinan will inevitably be attacked from both sides!

So he immediately said, "Master Hou and take all the cavalry in the city to rush to reinforcements first, and then Xia Guan will take 15,000 troops to Weinan!"

Qin Shuhuai said, "Excellent." However, Lord Hong must arrange the defense of Baoji before leaving, Baoji is an important town in Xiping, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Master Hou rest assured, the lower officials will make proper arrangements!"

Qin Shuhuai and Hong Chengchou briefly explained, and then Meng Hu came to report, saying that the cavalry had been assembled, and Qin Shuhuai said goodbye to Hong Chengchou and led the troops out of the city.

This time, in addition to himself, there are also Wang Datong, Zhiren, Li Daliang, Meng Hu, Zhao Keli, Wan Yunshan, Sun Bai, Chang Wuji, as well as Ma Sansao, the deputy gang leader of the Cao Gang, Tang Sanniang, the head of the Tang Sect, Shi Shiming, the elder of the Huashan faction, and other masters who have never fought before.

The reason why he wanted to bring so many masters was because Qin Shuhuai thought that several apostles of the Demon Sect must have also arrived in Weinan City, and the Ming army suffered a big loss in the battle of masters last time, and this time he couldn't repeat the mistakes of the past.

Four thousand five hundred cavalry galloped out of the east gate of Baoji City and went straight to Weinan.

There are more than 500 miles from Weinan to Baoji, and it takes about a day and a half for cavalry to arrive, and about three days for infantry.

On the night of 13 June, He Renlong, as planned, left the camp and 5,000 men and horses to continue the siege, and the remaining 25,000 men secretly withdrew and went to Lijiapo, 50 miles south of Weinan City, to ambush.

He believed that Gao Yingxiang of Shangluo would definitely send troops to relieve the siege of Weinan in the next few days.

Taking advantage of the night, the army quietly withdrew from the camp and headed south.

After walking about 20 miles, suddenly the spies in front came back with a roar, and shouted frantically on their horses, "There is an enemy army ahead!"

The soldiers of the forward battalion commanded by Zuo Guangxian were suddenly startled and hurriedly welcomed the spy off their horses. The spy's face turned pale in a hurry, and he shouted with a shout, "There is a large army in front of us that is rapidly attacking our army, go and report to the general quickly!"

The people of the forward battalion did not dare to slack off, and immediately threw away the report to Zuo Guangxian. Zuo Guang was shocked when he heard this, and personally led people to find He Renlong of the Chinese army.

He Renlong was also shocked when he heard this, thinking to himself Could it be that Shangluo's soldiers came in advance?

It's not a good place to meet here, because it's relatively flat and there's no place to ambush. Moreover, this is only 20 miles away from Weinan City, once the war starts, Liu Guoneng in Weinan City is bound to send a large army to help, and it is only half an hour for them to arrive here.

But at this moment, another horse whistle rushed into the ranks, shouting, "Urgent!"

He Renlong's heart chuckled again. Like him, the other soldiers were in their hearts.

After calling the horse whistle over, I only heard him say, "General Qiyu, there is a large army five miles away in the rear that is rapidly attacking our army! There are at least 20,000 of them!"

He Renlong and Zuo Guangxian suddenly glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of shock.

They are all veterans who have commanded the army for many years, so they naturally know that this is no coincidence, but that their own army has been surrounded by the enemy!

He Renlong hurriedly said, "Pass the order to go down and immediately break through to the west! Let's go back to Xi'an!"

At this time, if they wanted to return to Xi'an, they had to march fifteen miles west, over a hill, and then to the north. But fortunately, they don't have any baggage, so they are not afraid to cross the hills.

The herald rode his horse down the long line and shouted as he ran, "All west!

The team changed direction urgently and sped westward.

But before he could run out of five miles, he saw a deafening shout of killing suddenly sounded in front of him!

In the dark night, Li Zicheng was wearing a copper helmet and bronze armor, and the jumping fire shone on his dark face, making him look extraordinarily high-spirited!

This beautiful siege and annihilation battle is completely from his handwriting!

Long before leaving Ankang City, he had already arranged everything through the Demon Sect masters. He first asked the Demon Sect master to intercept and kill the horsemen who set off from Ankang, so that He Renlong and Zuo Guang could not get the information of Ankang first. Secondly, he asked the master of the Demon Sect to go to Shangluo and asked Gao Yingxiang to send 20,000 troops to Weinan. In the end, he agreed with Liu Guoneng in Weinan that everyone would start in the early morning of tomorrow and besiege the official army together.

But to his surprise, He Renlong actually secretly went south tonight. But it doesn't matter, Li Zicheng and Liu Guoneng and others immediately adjusted their strategies. Because He Renlong's road to the south was not far from Li Zicheng's road to the north, Li Zicheng turned another corner to intercept him, and sure enough, he blocked He Renlong in the middle of the road. The troops in Weinan City and the troops from Shangluo were in hot pursuit.

In this way, Li Zicheng's 38,000-strong army and He Renlong's 25,000-strong army encountered first, and the two sides immediately launched a fierce battle without saying a word.

If there are only Li Zicheng and these people, then he may not be able to do anything to He Renlong. But more than a quarter of an hour later, Liu Guoneng arrived with an army of 20,000, and in their ranks, there were still about 1,000 Demon Sect Five Elements Banners.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the 20,000 rogues who came from Shangluo, led by Gu Junen, another general under Gao Yingxiang, also rushed to the battlefield.

At this time, Liukou concentrated a total of 78,000 troops and surrounded and annihilated He Renlong, who only had about 25,000 people!

He Renlong knew that he would inevitably be defeated, but he still organized the officers and troops to counterattack. Since the surrounding area was relatively flat and there was no danger to rely on, he immediately divided the army into four sections, each responsible for defending one side and maneuvering with the enemy.

He Renlong found that the rogue soldiers at this time were not only much better equipped than in the previous battle of Hancheng, but also had a lot more combat power. In addition, there is the Demon Sect Five Elements Banner in the opponent's formation to help, and your own front is always broken by the Five Elements Flag, which is really unguardable!

The two sides fought fiercely for about half an hour, and the officers and troops gradually lost their battles.

was already under siege, but once the defeat was revealed, the officers and soldiers became more and more panicked, and those who fled from the battle also appeared.

He Renlong knew that the general trend had gone, so he had to order to disperse and break through.
