Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 261 Bet Decisively

The battle front can be summed up in one word, but only those who have devoted themselves to Dashun and worked hard for Dashun, and those who have more information channels than ordinary Dashun generals know.

Dashun is gone.

The invasion by the Qing army and the Northern Expedition by the Ming army shattered the foundation of Dashun's regime that had been painstakingly managed for a long time in just a few months.

The Dashun court at this time may not be as good as the rogue model back then.

The peasant army, which was originally based entirely on its own abilities, suddenly split up because of the establishment of the Dashun court.

Internal criticism, mutual exclusion, and factional struggles are not obvious, but in fact, apart from not having a name, there are all kinds of struggles that should be there.

Not to mention that the Qing army is now only forty or fifty miles away from Xi'an City.

Some Qing cavalry of the Qing army ran under the city wall of Xi'an and retreated under the pursuit of the cavalry of the Shun army.

Li Zicheng's personal expedition has also attacked back to Xi'an City.

In just a while, Lao Liu, who used to be the emperor of Dashun, has already been called King Chuang, and after a while, he might change back to being a thief.

The only thing that made Pei Wu hesitate was the words of this old Liu.

Where can this go?

It is definitely impossible to ask.

It is not appropriate to do it.

The princess's handwritten letter is true.

"Yes, the meeting place is at the Tangyu River in the Qinling Mountains. Take a boat to the river and wave the black flag three times as a sign. The river is deep and the water is deep. Everyone can feel at ease. The time is up to you."

"Be on the safe side! After five days! Don't forget the golden hundred taels!"

Jin Yiwei could see the decline of Dashun.

There are many other people who can see it.

In the early morning of the second day of Pei Wu's meeting with Na Lao Liu, Dashun's Linqu Hou Gao Yigong withdrew from Lantian County, and Dashun's army immediately retreated to Xi'an City, and the large number of trenches and defensive facilities in the area seemed to indicate that the Shun army was about to Stick to Xi'an.

At this time, the news of Jiang Guan's return to the Ming Dynasty reached the Qing army in Shaanxi. In order to protect the capital, the Manchu and Qing court also mobilized some troops from the front line, led by Duoduo.

After all, although Jiang Yu is the only one who has rebelled right now, he was originally a three general soldier, and he alone led the general soldiers of Datong and Xuanhua. People don't rebel.

This is also good news for Dashun.

It warmed up the government that had begun to crumble.

Dashun did not turn into a bandit again.

At the beginning of August of [-], General Bai Wang of Dashun Guoyi died in battle. His deputy Wang Tizhong shouted, "Death is not a hair-shaving slave." one two.

On the same day, Pucheng Shunjun opened the gate of Pucheng and the city fell due to the participation of general Zheng Siwei who led the army to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

In a day's work, the city of Xi'an did not relax at all because the Qing army withdrew part of its troops, and the battle line completely reached the city of Xi'an.

House seemingly endless rain.

The biggest beneficiary of the withdrawal of the Qing army was the Ming army.

After the Qing army retreated, the Ming army recaptured Yongning County and Lingbao County, but was stopped by the Qing army when they entered southern Shaanxi, and their entry was blocked.

But the Qing army was followed by the Ming army, which was a nightmare for Dashun.

The reason why the Qing army still wanted to attack Xi'an even when its strength was reduced and the Ming army was threatening behind it was very simple.

There are many bettors on the Qing Dynasty.

It was like this outside the customs before, and it's like this now in front of Xi'an City.

Like those Han merchants, those literati, and those landlords.

Now Dashun is even more remarkable.

The secret letter from Prime Minister Dashun was on Azig's desk at the moment, and he couldn't help smiling when he saw it.

"A battle in Xi'an is guaranteed! The Ming army is nothing to worry about!"

It's different after changing the battle line. The Ming army and the Shun army are the same. The only new tricks are the trenches and the black barbarian guns, but they are not as good as the savages.
Thinking of this, Azig's smile froze.

The savage must have known about the rebellion in the country. Even if the news from the rear was not sent to him, he knew from his strategic thinking that the savage would not let go of such a great opportunity.

But for him, right now, he can only focus on Xi'an.

On August [-]th, the day after the main force of the Qing army arrived in the suburbs of Xi'an, they began to besiege Xi'an.

On that day, Pei Wu met Lao Liu at Tangyu Lake.

It's just that the process is a bit tortuous.

Because there are many people here.

Those around Lantian and the south of Xi'an fled here to escape the war.

A lot of people pitched tents around the small lake, and there were many boats and rafts floating in the river.

Lao Liu is a real person.

Dashun is reliable, there is still room for rescue operations, and it is profitable. Old Liu works for Dashun. For the sake of merit and money, he can give up half his life to drill into the hinterland of enemy-controlled areas and secretly meet with local spies.

Dashun was unreliable, so Lao Liu really led Princess Kunxing out of the city.

Thinking about it, it was the same when I was in the Great Ming Capital, and the direction changed quite quickly.

Of course, things didn't work very well.

There is only a small road along the main road in the town at the bottom of the mountain, which is full of people who came to seek refuge. Amidst the noise, a gunshot exploded, and at the same time, a carriage crashed into a tree by the roadside!

Then a masked man emerged from inside and quickly cut off the reins.

"come out faster!"

Amidst the roar, a small group of cavalry gathered from behind!There are two other people who are masked like the man. They are riding beside them, anxiously loading the short guns in hand.

But soon there was a gunshot, and one of the two fell off the horse!The other person roared, but was stopped by the man in front of him when he drew his knife!
"Run! I can't be saved! Run!"

In the chaotic and noisy environment, the surrounding area was full of chaos. The people who had originally sought refuge scattered in an instant, crying and exclaiming continuously.
At this time, a thin figure wearing a black gauze cap and cloak struggled to climb out of the sedan chair of the broken carriage. Seeing that the situation was critical, the figure shouted, "If you can't do it! Leave me here! Find your own way out! "

The man didn't say much, he directly picked up the woman who made the noise, picked her up and threw it to the cart puller!Then yell at the surrounding area!

"This is Princess Daming! They are slaves and thieves! We must not let the princess fall into the hands of the Tartars! It is the man who came to help!"

"Fart! We are from Dashun! Keep the princess of Ming Kingdom! Give me a thousand taels of silver!"

The cavalry at the bottom of the forest mountain road are rushing forward!Shout out to refute!But the word princess still caused a little commotion!Passers-by around hesitated.

It seems that Dashun is going to die, and the ancestral land is not easy to leave, but if he saves Princess Daming, with this great achievement, he will start to be successful?
On the other side is another thousand taels of silver.

In a blink of an eye, the woman who said she wanted to stay skillfully flicked the reins and started galloping on the mountain road!
The other two followed closely and fled!The dozen or so riders hurriedly pursued them!At the same time, they shot arrows around to frighten them.

"Go away!"

"Whoever gets close will die!"

"Oh!"

There was a sudden gunshot, and the chasing cavalry immediately fell down, followed by another shot, and a cavalry's horse collapsed!
All the riders ignored it!Still catching up!
It was also at this time that a rider and two horses rushed out of the bushes on the side of the road. Pei Wu rode the horse without forgetting to reload, and approached the woman in a blink of an eye.

"Brother Fang is good at marksmanship!"

But Pei Wu didn't say anything, he just yelled at the woman: "Princess, please show yourself upright!"

The woman was also unambiguous, and directly lifted the veil with her right hand, revealing a frowning face with a sullen expression. If you just look at the eyebrows and eyes, it is quite similar to Zhu Youjian's small face today.
