Ming Zuo

Chapter 1415
"These dog thieves have been stealing, cheating, and fearing the enemy since I was in Dashun. Now they are traitors, and they are actually stubborn to the end."

At the foot of Baiyue Mountain, Li Guo and Gao Yigong were terrified to watch the tragic offensive and defensive battle.

In the past, they looked down upon Liang Yue, and didn't think Liang Yue's troops had any strength.

But now, after seeing the Liang army's style of play with their own eyes, they understood where Li Zicheng's fear came from.

Tens of thousands of Liang troops were divided into left, middle and right groups, attacking the Qing army's position like a tide without stopping.

There were also several teams of Liang troops ignoring the terrain and climbing towards the top of Baiyue Mountain.

Although Jiang Yu and Tang Tong deployed a tight front on the mountain, causing heavy casualties to the Liang army, the soldiers of the Liang army were not afraid.

In addition to being brave, Liang Jun's tactics are also quite scientific.

The infantry charged ahead, and the Musketeers followed.

Although these Musketeers are scattered and out of scale, they seem to be useless.But each of them is a sharpshooter selected from thousands of people, especially with low and high, and the effect is very good when dealing with the exposed Qing army.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong lost their spirits.

"Houlu Debao is safe and sound, it's all thanks to the two of you. This king will definitely report to the emperor and ask for credit for you."

They are originally from Shaanxi, and they know the topography of Shaanxi very well.

Jiang Guan and Tang Tong saw that their soldiers and horses were completely lost, and they really wanted to cry but had no tears.

But now that Li Zicheng has withdrawn to Xi'an, doesn't that mean that Guanzhong has opened the door to the Qing army?
Liang Yue looked at the soldiers and horses under his command pulling out the camps, and his mood was bleak.

The Battle of Tongguan, which lasted thirteen days, ended in the defeat of the Shun Army.

Even without Azige, Li Zicheng had already been defeated by Duoduo's army alone.

Intact food and cities were all cheaper for the Qing army in the end.

Without delay, Liang Yue detoured to Hetao again and returned to Ningxia.

Liang Yue's expression was horrifying, so gloomy that he could drip water.

As a result, Tian Jianxiu didn't do this. He foolishly took care of his hometown and only burned the East Gate Tower and Nanyue Tower, deceiving Li Zicheng.

But Jiang Yu and Tang Tong also tried their best to fill the gap with soldiers and horses, blocking the Liang army's attack in a daze.

They knew very well that in order to ensure the safety of Shaanxi, Tongguan must not be lost.

But he is different.

"Liang Wang, why don't you fight? As long as you work harder, you will be able to eliminate the two traitors Jiang Yu and Tang Tong!"

After Li Zicheng retreated to Xi'an, Tongguan defender Ma Shiyao chose to feign surrender.

Obviously, the opportunity to kill the traitor is at hand, why didn't Liang Yue stop fighting?

"Mingjin, withdraw troops."

After returning to Xi'an, Li Zicheng had to choose to retreat again.

Before leaving, he ordered Tian Jianxiu to burn all the food and official houses in Xi'an to avoid being entrusted to the enemy.

Liang Yue needs to defeat Jiang Yu and Tang Tong in the shortest possible time to completely stabilize the situation in northern Shaanxi.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong are going to find Li Zicheng, Liang Yue is not surprised at all.If the two of them left Li Zicheng, they would be like duckweed without roots.

With the gap in Baiyue Mountain, the battle here is even more tragic.

A day later, Azig led the brigade of cavalry to return first.Seeing Jiang Guan and Tang Tong's miserable situation, he couldn't help but be afraid again and again.

But the messengers who came in a hurry made Liang Yue look up to the sky and sigh, helpless.

Although the Qing army was powerful, Li Zicheng was equally dangerous to Liang Yue.

Unexpectedly, the messenger he sent was captured by the Qing army, and all the plans were learned by Duoduo.

"The two of us plan to meet up with His Majesty first. I don't know what King Liang is doing?"

The Ming army was dissatisfied with the salary, and the full salary was invincible.

To put it bluntly, it was the fault of the old Zhu family.

He didn't expect that Li Zicheng was so depressed now.

He planned to join the Shun army in Henan and Huguang, and after integrating his forces, he would find a way to cross the Yangtze River, go to the Jiangnan area to obtain supplies and respite, and then try to survive.

It was with the help of these musketeers that the soldiers of the Liang army who climbed the rock were able to attack step by step.

"The top priority is to destroy the intruder first. Since Liang Yue has already retreated, it is just a futile struggle. When we pacify the Central Plains, it will be easy to eliminate him."

The soldiers of the Liang army completely ignored the possible accidental injuries caused by the artillery, and rushed forward while the Qing army was in chaos.

Hearing this news, Li Guo and Gao Yigong felt cold all over.

Just because he understands that the city of Xi'an alone cannot stop the two armies of Duoduo and Azig.

"Before Azig completed the outflanking, His Majesty had already lost to Duoduo and had to withdraw to Xi'an. Azige had already led his army back after learning about the situation here. If we continue to fight, it won't help."

It's rare that Azig treats them both kindly.

As for why the two became so powerful in combat after they took refuge in the Qing Dynasty?
If Zuo Menggeng saw it, he would definitely know it clearly.

"What? His Majesty withdrew his troops?"

"The two of you don't know something. Your Majesty has already abandoned Tongguan and retreated to Xi'an. The situation is like this, there is nothing you can do!"

Just because both parties understand that what they lack the most is time.

The fierce battle lasted for three days and three nights, Jiang Yu and Tang Tong gradually broke down, and it seemed that the defeat was doomed.

"My lord, Liang Yue's fighting power is strong, even far above the intruders. I implore the lord to send troops immediately to eliminate Liang Yue, so as to avoid future troubles."

At this point, they already understood that Dashun was really at the end of the road.

The horn of withdrawing troops resounded across the battlefield, and the Liang army, which was still fighting desperately, immediately changed its formation and slowly withdrew from the battlefield.

Under the collapse of the overall situation, Li Guo and Gao Yigong also lost the will to play tricks.

The Qing army received a large amount of supplies in Xi'an, quickly regained their vitality, relieved their fatigue, and pursued closely.

So Li Zicheng led all the civil and military officials and the remaining soldiers and horses to Lantian and Shangluo, and retreated all the way to Henan.

If two phases choose, Liang Yue can only rely on himself.

The fortifications built by the Qing army with huge stones were repeatedly bombarded by Liang Yue with dozens of artillery pieces.The dust was flying, and the gravel was like rain.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong rushed to find him, they seemed very dissatisfied.

Azig was very calm.

Duoduo used all his tactics and slaughtered Ma Shiyao and all [-] soldiers and horses.

Jiang Yu and Tang Tong needed enough time to stop Liang Yue and win conditions for Azig's return.

He also sent someone to send a letter to Li Zicheng, hoping that as an internal response, he would turn defeat into victory.

"I plan to withdraw to Gansu, and then find a way to deal with the Tartars."

After they bid farewell to Liang Yue, they led the defeated soldiers and retreated all the way to the southwest.

The two sides fought from day to night, and from night to day.Even though they were exhausted and suffered heavy casualties, they still had no intention of giving up.

This was the established plan of the Qing Dynasty, and Jiang Guan and Tang Tong could do nothing but suffer from being dumb.

And this made the Shun Army unable to get enough rest time at all, and had to fight exhausted one after another.

Fight one game, lose one game.

By the time it reached Henan, it was completely unorganized.

Li Zicheng finally reached the last time of his life.
