He Renlong, who was in charge of the attack at the south gate, immediately reacted: Li Zicheng wants to run!

He now had about 4,000 troops at his disposal, more than 1,000 of whom were storming the walls, so that he had only 2,7800 at his disposal. And because of the siege, he only had 800 cavalry on his hands.

But he still immediately decided to take everyone up to chase after him, and at the same time sent someone to inform Qin Shuhuai immediately.

He Renlong was defeated in Weinan, which was an indelible shame in his life, so when he saw that Li Zicheng was about to run, he tried his best to stop him!

He Renlong's infantry couldn't catch up with Li Zicheng's cavalry, but it was no problem to catch up with the opposing infantry. The infantry of both sides then engaged two or three miles south of the city. Originally, if Li Zicheng led the cavalry to fight back, the official infantry would definitely not be the opponent, but Li Zicheng was eager to escape, where to care about the infantry, and only ran away with 4,000 cavalry!

Seeing that the commander had abandoned him, Li Zicheng's infantry felt desperate, and no longer had the intention of fighting, and those who could run fled in all directions, and if they couldn't run away, they simply surrendered directly.

He Renlong led 800 cavalry in pursuit. He was not afraid that Li Zicheng would turn around and kill him, because in this way he would be able to drag Li Zicheng back.

What he was afraid of was that Li Zicheng ignored him!

Li Ziguo ignored him, let him chase after him, and just ran forward vigorously.

While chasing, He Renlong ordered people to throw helmets and other things to the ground every other section, so that the officers and cavalry who came to help behind could recognize the way.

After Qin Shuhuai got the news of Li Zicheng's breakthrough, he immediately ordered Meng Wei, Chen Jing and others to chase after him with four thousand cavalry.

Let's say that the defenders on the wall of the south gate, when they saw Li Zicheng, who was originally clamoring for a decisive battle out of the city, ran away without a trace with the cavalry, and immediately knew that the general trend had gone. Although they were very loyal to Li Zicheng, they were also demoralized at this time and chose to surrender.

On the Beicheng side, after about half an hour of fighting, the winner has been decided. More than half of Bai Jiu'er and Cupola Pillar suffered casualties, the whole army collapsed, those who surrendered fled, and Bai Jiu'er and Cupola Pillar were also captured by the masters of the martial arts coalition. And the Black Evil God's troops were even more miserable, his 9,000 troops were ambushed by 20,000 officers and soldiers, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

At this point, there is no suspense about the recovery of Weinan City.

Li Zicheng's troops, who were guarding in the east and west of the city, chose to surrender after hearing that the official army had entered the city and Li Zicheng had fled.

At five o'clock, the sky was already bright, and the battle was drawing to a close.

Residents living near the General's Mansion heard the loud sound of horses' hooves and neat footsteps. Seeing that the shouting had stopped, they boldly pushed open a crack in the window and looked out of the gap.

However, on the street leading to the general's mansion, officers and soldiers wearing yellow and black military uniforms were neatly lined up on both sides of the street, staring at each other and waiting solemnly.

Not long after, a large group of soldiers and horses slowly came from a distance. Among this group of soldiers, there are many banners, and on them are written "Governor of Qincha Trilateral Assistant", "General Pingnu", "Scholar of Wuyingdian University", "Prince Shaobao", "Loyal and Yong Tongzhou Marquis" and other official plaques.

In the middle of the team, there was a young man in brocade and a red horse, wearing a long sword, a silver-edged python robe, and black official boots, and slowly marched forward with the team under the brave arch of a group of wolf-like soldiers.

The people all looked shocked, could it be that this person is Qin Shuhuai, the first minister of the legendary invincible Ming Dynasty?

There was a young man who couldn't help but open the window and shouted at Qin Shuhuai, "Marquis Qin's might!"

Qin Shuhuai looked at the man and nodded at him kindly.

Suddenly, the fear of the people was swept away, and they opened their windows one after another, shouting "Hello Hou Ye!" "Meet Hou Ye!" "Welcome Hou Ye!"

Qin Shuhuai smiled and nodded at them, this approachable behavior made more people let down their guard, and they went out one after another, boldly coming to the street to welcome Qin Shuhuai's arrival. The street, which had been quiet, suddenly became lively. Especially the rich families in the city, under the rule of Gao Yingxiang on weekdays, are often extorted by the rogues, and when they see the official army arrive, they smile happily, and under the arrangement of the patriarch, they have brought out the wine to come to the army.

Seeing this, He Kegang had to send additional manpower to maintain order.

Qin Shuhuai arrived at the general's mansion, and after dismounting, all the soldiers who had been waiting here knelt down one after another.

"Subordinates and others welcome Master Hou!"

Qin Shuhuai was high-spirited and entered the General's Mansion!

In this battle, the officers and soldiers suffered more than 9,300 casualties, but they annihilated more than 100,000 defenders of Weinan City. Among them, the number of troops surrendered in the city reached a staggering 56,000 (Liu Guoneng, Qilang, and Li Chang's soldiers suffered a lot of battle losses in the process of suppressing bandits, and finally about 23,000 remained.) ）

It was a landmark battle. After this battle, Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang's business for several years was ruined, and it can be said that the bandit trouble in Shaanxi has basically subsided. And the other strong Liukou Horse Guardian Division that had previously been defeated in the previous battles with the Demon Sect was also killed and wounded, so there was no need to worry. At present, among the three sides, only Zhang Xianzhong is slightly threatened. However, now that the governor of the three sides is no longer Yang He, under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Xianzhong can only flee in a corner of southern Shanxi.

In this way, he can safely lead the army north.

The only pity is that Li Zicheng has not been captured so far. Qin Shuhuai actually wanted to meet this figure who stirred up the storm in history and see what was so outstanding about him.

At this time, Li Zicheng was leading the cavalry to the east, and he was preparing to enter Shanxi and take refuge with Zhang Xianzhong. However, the 4,800 elite cavalry of the first 4,800 officers and soldiers were in hot pursuit, and there were also officers and troops stationed in front, so it was not so easy for him to enter Shanxi.

In Weinan City, Qin Shuhuai, together with He Kegang, Zhang Xiao and others, discussed a way to deal with the surrendered rogues.

Among them, 23,000 people under the command of Liu Guoneng, Li Chang, and Qilang were not killed because of their meritorious efforts in suppressing bandits. Among them, there were more than 7,000 old, weak, sick and wounded, all of whom were sent home with 5 taels of silver.

In addition, of the 33,000 people who surrendered from other gangsters, more than 2,000 were leaders of various sizes, and these leaders were all executed first. Subsequently, 15,000 strong, honest-looking men were selected to remain, and the remaining old, weak, sick, and slick-faced were all put to death.

In short, the able-bodied rogues with combat effectiveness will either die or join the official army.

In this way, the officers and soldiers received another 33,000 strong rogues at once.

Qin Shuhuai called Liu Guoneng and said to him, "General Liu, you have made great contributions to this battle of Weinan. Ben Hou said that he will definitely reward you. Tell me, what do you want?"

Liu Guoneng never thought that Qin Shuhuai would fulfill his promise so quickly.

He immediately knelt down and said, "Liu Guoneng is deeply guilty, and it is already the greatest grace for Hou Ye not to kill, how dare he ask Hou Ye for any credit?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "Ben Hou has always done what he says, if General Liu doesn't ask Ben Hou for something, won't Ben Hou be discredited?" 5674
