Chapter 573: Hidden Worries

He Renlong's side, with less than a hundred horsemen, fought on the flanks. Originally, the wound on his buttocks was almost healed, but after riding so many miles in a row, the wound was cracked again, and the blood flowed, and every step the horse ran in pain made him gasp, but he said that he would not get off the horse to death, and still led the troops to fight to the death.

If you want to talk about hard work, maybe Chen Jing is the most desperate. As Qin Shuhuai's brother-in-law, he has always been treated favorably in the gang, but he is holding his breath in his heart, wanting to prove that he does not rely on "relationships" to get to the top through his military exploits. After he was captured in Weinan City, he thought that he would never have a chance to prove it again, but he didn't expect to be able to return to the battlefield again, and he also had the opportunity to hunt down Li Zicheng, the initiator of the defeat of the official army in Weinan, such a good opportunity for revenge, he thought that his brother-in-law deliberately left it for him, if he was defeated again this time, then what face would he have to go back to see his brother-in-law, grandmother and sister?

My brother-in-law is the world's first-class hero, and I heard Lai San'er say that my brother-in-law may be ...... in the future Grandma said, as his brother-in-law, if I don't accumulate some military merits now, how can I help my brother-in-law defend the world in the future? Well, grandma is right! I am his own brother-in-law, and if I don't guard his country, will I let outsiders guard it?

Kill, kill, whoever stands in the way of my brother-in-law, I will kill him!

Thinking of this, with the cultivation of Xiaocheng Realm, and the dual support of Jiuyang Divine Skill and Yijin Sutra, the sword in his hand became more and more powerful, cutting down one rogue horse soldier after another!

Qin Shuhuai didn't know that although he had never thought of dominating the world, the people around him had already begun to take this as their goal!

Sun Chengzong's worries are happening little by little!

The two sides fought for half an hour, and the officers and troops had more than 1,800 cavalry left, while Li Zicheng only had more than 1,100 cavalry left, and the victory or defeat was about to be decided. The ground was littered with corpses of the dead in battle, and countless unowned horses roamed the battlefield. For them, the mission of the battle was accomplished, but for the cavalry on both sides, the battle continued.

But Li Zicheng, protected by several personal guards, escaped again. Because he and several guards didn't go into battle in person before, the war horse got a good rest, and his war horse was a good breed horse that was selected by thousands of people, so he ran very fast.

When Chen Jing saw it, he immediately took a few people to chase after him, but was blocked by the other party's cavalry.

Meng Wei was experienced enough, and knew that his own side was tired, and he would definitely not be able to catch up with Li Zicheng, so he shouted to Chen Jing, "Lord Chen Xiang, don't chase it, let's kill these rogues first!"

Chen Jing saw that Li Zicheng had already run away, so he had to grit his teeth angrily, and then vented all his anger on the remaining rogue cavalry.

When the remaining rogue soldiers saw that Li Zicheng had left him and ran away, the breath they were holding was suddenly released!

They no longer had the heart to fight, and they scattered and fled. The officers and soldiers were unwilling to stop there, and immediately launched a pursuit.

In the end, the rogues fled by three or four hundred, dropped by two or three hundred, and the rest were all killed by the official army.

And Li Zicheng, under the escort of seven or eight subordinates, escaped. After arriving at a small town, they changed into civilian clothes, dressed as merchants, and traveled by night and day, and continued to Shanxi to find Zhang Xianzhong's department.

As in history, Li Zicheng's first "entrepreneurship" ended in failure. In history, he made a comeback, but with Qin Shuhuai in this world, everything will become unrecognizable!

Qin Shuhuai stayed in Weinan for four days to wait for all the martial arts forces to be assembled in place.

During these four days, as usual, a fief from the north of the pond was sent to his desk. Now Yuan Chonghuan's Tang newspaper, one sent to the military department, and the other was sent to Qin Shuhuai, has formed a rule.

Judging from the recent Tang newspapers, the situation in the north is not optimistic.

On June 18 of the third year of Chongzhen, Azig led an army of 30,000 to capture Ma Lanyu and successfully entered the wall.

On June 20, after three days and three nights of fierce fighting, Mang Gurtai led an army of 30,000 to finally break through the Da'ankou guarded by Qin Lang under Yuan Chonghuan, and also successfully entered the wall.

At the same time, the army led by Zierharang attacked the Xifeng Pass guarded by Zhao Shujiao for a long time, so he made a decisive detour and entered from Daankou instead.

Subsequently, the Houjin army all entered the Central Plains.

Yuan Chonghuan believes that the Houjin is strong, and the official army should still be like in Liaodong, holding the city and defending the danger, and at the same time waiting for the opportunity to make a surprise attack, which is the best policy. This suggestion was quickly approved by Sun Chengzong and the Ministry of War.

As a result, Yuan Chonghuan deployed nearly 200,000 troops in Jizhen mainly near Zunhua, Santun Camp, and Jizhou. His idea is very simple, that is, at the moment, as long as he drags the Houjin army, if he wants to fight back, he has to wait for Qin Shuhuai's army to come.

As a result, the combined forces of the Later Jin and the Mongols, just like during the Jisi Change, easily captured a large number of small and medium-sized cities on the periphery.

They have searched all over the rich in these places, but they are not too embarrassed by the majority of the poor, this is a trick that Huang Taiji has come up with, they have to rob money and grain when they enter the customs this time, but they must not leave too bad a reputation, what should they do? Then it is better to blackmail the money of a few rich people, it is better to be civilized than to rob it, and anyway, the reason for blackmailing money is made up with them. And for the poor people who account for more than eighty percent of the total, they will not rob them this time - these poor people were just robbed by them last year, and it is strange that they can have oil and water now, so it is better not to rob them, in order to show the "benevolence" of Daikin.

However, those places are too poor, like Han'erzhuang, the richest rich family in the village, only to pay out 120 taels of grain and 350 taels of silver, which is not enough to stuff the teeth.

So, since June 28, Huang Taiji has been besieging Zunhua. As long as Zunhua is captured, Houjin's hands and feet can be stretched, and the Santun camp can be attacked in the east and Jizhou in the west. If these places are laid, then the real prosperous land of the Central Plains is in front of them.

And Yuan Chonghuan did have a hand in defending the city, he took 20,000 Guan Ning troops, 10,000 Datong troops and 70,000 local Tuntian troops, facing the siege of at least 70,000 Houjin soldiers, and has held on to the present.

However, as the siege has been nearly half a month, the consumption of food, grass and ammunition in the city is extremely high, and it is estimated that it can last for more than ten days.

And to break the siege, it means that the official army needs to engage in a field battle with Houjin.

So the question is, how can the officers and troops fight to win?

Whether it was Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, or Zhao Shujiao, they all set their eyes on Qin Shuhuai without thinking.

So, almost every other day, Chongzhen came to ask Qin Shuhuai how his situation was in Shaanxi, and when would he be able to lead his troops north?

On the fifth day, the Wulin coalition army had finally assembled in Weinan City, and Qin Shuhuai decided to set off at an auspicious time the next morning.

That night, Hong Chengchou personally rushed to Weinan City, and together with Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong and other trilateral generals, he came to set up a banquet to see off Qin Shuhuai.

Of course, by the way, the leaders of the various factions in the martial arts alliance were also entertained, as well as the people of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. These people have made great contributions to the elimination of Shaanxi Liukou, and have suffered huge losses, Hong Chengchou, as the governor of Shaanxi, naturally wants to do the friendship of the landlord, thank them well!
