East Factory Governor

Chapter 571
On He Renlong's side, he brought less than a hundred cavalry to fight on the flanks.Originally, the wound on his buttocks was almost healed, but after riding for so many distances, the wound opened again, bleeding profusely, and every step the horse ran was so painful that he gasped for breath, but said that he would not get off the horse even if he died, Still lead troops to fight to the death.

If you say desperately, maybe Chen Jing is the most desperate.As Qin Shuhuai's brother-in-law, he has always been treated preferentially in the gang, but he is suffocating in his heart, wanting to prove through military exploits that he did not rely on "relationships" to get to the top.After he was captured in Weinan City, he thought that he would never have the chance to prove this point, but he never thought that he would be able to return to the battlefield again and have the opportunity to hunt down and kill Li Zicheng, the instigator who led to the defeat of the official army in Weinan. Waiting for a good opportunity for revenge, he thinks that his brother-in-law specially left it for him. If he loses again this time, how can he have the face to go back to see his brother-in-law, grandma and sister?
My brother-in-law is the number one hero in the world. According to Lai San'er and the others, my brother-in-law may...will rule the world in the future!Grandma said, as his brother-in-law, how can I help my brother-in-law defend the world in the future if I don’t accumulate some military merits now?Well, grandma was right!I'm his brother-in-law, if I don't guard his country, how can I let outsiders guard it?
kill!kill!I will kill whoever stands in front of my brother-in-law!
Thinking of this, relying on Xiao Chengjing's cultivation base, and the dual support of Nine Suns Divine Art and Yi Jin Jing, the sword in his hand became more and more fierce, and he chopped down one after another of the rogue horse soldiers!

Qin Shuhuai didn't know that although he had never thought of being king, the people around him had already started to aim for this!
Sun Chengzong's worries are happening little by little!
The two sides fought for half an hour, the official army had more than 100 horses left, while Li Zicheng had only [-] horses left, and the outcome was about to be decided.The ground was littered with dead bodies, and countless ownerless 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 escaped again under the protection of several personal guards.Because he and a few personal guards didn't go into battle in person before, the horse got a good rest. In addition, his horse was a good-bred horse selected from thousands of people, so it ran very fast.

When Chen Jing saw it, he immediately took a few people to chase, but was stopped by the cavalry of the other side.

Meng Wei had enough experience and knew that his horse was exhausted and he would definitely not be able to catch up with Li Zicheng, so he shouted to Chen Jing, "Master Chen Xiang, don't chase, kill these rogues first!"

Seeing that Li Zicheng had already run away, Chen Jing gritted his teeth angrily, and then vented all his anger on the remaining rogue cavalry.

The rest of the rogue soldiers let out a sigh of relief when they saw that Li Zicheng left him and ran away!

They no longer wanted to fight, and scattered and fled in all directions.How could the officers and soldiers be willing to stop there, and immediately launched a hunt.

In the end, three or four hundred bandits escaped, two or three hundred were surrendered, and the rest were all killed by the government army.

Li Zicheng, on the other hand, escaped under the protection of seven or eight subordinates.After arriving in a small town, they changed into civilian clothes, dressed up as merchants, traveled by night and day, and continued to Shanxi to look for Zhang Xianzhong's men.

Just like in history, Li Zicheng's first "entrepreneurship" ended in failure.In history, he once made a comeback, but with Qin Shuhuai in this world, everything will be changed beyond recognition!
Qin Shuhuai stayed in Weinan for four days, waiting for all the martial arts coalition forces to gather in place.

During these four days, as usual, the Tang newspaper in the north was sent to his desk one by one.Now Yuan Chonghuan's pond newspaper, one is sent to the Ministry of War, and the other is sent to Qin Shuhuai, which has formed a rule.

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

On June [-]th of the third year of Chongzhen, Azig led an army of [-] to capture Malanyu and successfully entered the wall.

On June [-], after three days and three nights of fierce fighting, Mang Gurtai led an army of [-] troops to finally break through Da'ankou guarded by Yuan Chonghuan's Qin Lang, and successfully entered the wall.

At the same time, the army led by Jierhalang had been attacking Xifengkou guarded by Zhao Jiaojiao for a long time, so he decisively made a detour and entered through Da'ankou instead.

Subsequently, the army of Hou Jin all entered the Central Plains.

Yuan Chonghuan believes that after the Jin Dynasty is strong, it is the best policy for the officers and soldiers to occupy the city and guard against danger as they did in Liaodong, and at the same time wait for opportunities for surprise attacks.This proposal was quickly approved by Sun Chengzong and the Ministry of War.

Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan deployed nearly 20 troops in Jizhen, mainly near Zunhua, Santunying, and Jizhou.His idea is very simple, that is, he just needs to hold back Jin's army, and if he wants to fight back, he has to wait for Qin Shuhuai's army to come.

As a result, the coalition forces of the Houjin and Mongols easily captured a large number of small and medium-sized cities in the periphery, just as they did in the past.
They searched the rich in these places, but they didn't make too much trouble for most of the poor. This is a new trick that Huang Taiji came up with. Bad reputation, what to do?Then extort money from a few rich people. It is more civilized to extort money than to steal it.As for the poor who account for more than [-]% of the total, they will not rob them this time-these poor people were just robbed by them last year.

But those places are really too poor. Like Hanerzhuang, the richest household in the village only extorted 120 dans of grain and 350 taels of silver, which is not enough to fit between the teeth.

Therefore, starting from June 28, Huang Taiji has been besieging Zunhua.As long as Zunhua is captured, Houjin's hands and feet will be able to stretch out. He can attack Santunying in the east and Jizhou in the west.If these places are captured, the real prosperous land of the Central Plains will be in front of their eyes.

And Yuan Chonghuan is indeed good at defending the city. He led [-] Guanning Army, [-] Datong Army, and [-] local Tuntian Army. Facing the siege of at least [-] later Jin soldiers, he has held on until now.

However, with the siege of the city for nearly half a month, the food, grass and ammunition in the city have been greatly consumed, and it is estimated that it can last for ten days at most.

And to get rid of the siege, it means that the official army needs to have a field battle with Hou Jin.

So here comes the question, how can the officers and soldiers fight to win?

Regardless of whether it was Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, or Zhao Lijiao, they all cast their eyes on Qin Shuhuai without thinking.

So, Chongzhen came to ask Qin Shuhuai how he was doing in Shaanxi almost every other day?When will you be able to lead troops northward?

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

That night, Hong Chengchou rushed to Weinan City in person, and together with Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong and other generals from the three sides, came to host a banquet to see Qin Shuhuai off.

Of course, by the way, the leaders of various factions in the martial arts coalition, as well as people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei were also invited.These people have made great contributions to clearing up Shaanxi bandits, and have suffered huge losses. As the governor of Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou naturally wants to do his best as a landlord, thank them very much!
