Chapter 378
"It's a pity." After Dorgon heard this, he also sighed deeply. If he had known this earlier, he would have dealt with Li Xin together as he had discussed with Gao Qiqian.At that time, Li Xin became the second Jian slave, and there was no solution.It's a pity that the situation is changing too fast, it can almost be said that the sky and the sky are changing in an instant.Li Xin, who used to dominate the situation on the battlefield, is now in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, why don't I stay here for a while? If Li Xin really breaks through the Xifeng Pass, he must be exhausted. At that time, our attack must be able to solve Li Xin." Ning Wan I said suddenly.

"This?" Huang Taiji thought about it for a while, and was about to speak, when he suddenly shook his head and said, "Li Xin is not an ordinary person, and it is not ordinary difficult to plot against him. Why doesn't he know the situation in front of him, as for saying that he is exhausted , I’m afraid you are all wrong. If I were Li Xin, I would not attack Zunhua at this time, but directly occupy Hong Chengchou’s camp, seize some food and grass, and then go directly to the city of Beijing. Let’s see what Emperor Chongzhen should do? "

"Your Majesty said that Li Xin will never leave Xifengkou." Fan Wencheng asked in disbelief.

"If you don't believe it, you can set up camp here and wait for two days." Huang Taiji escaped from the prison at this time, and Dorgon's army was coming, with sufficient food and grass, and he was not in a hurry to go back, so he immediately ordered the army to set up a camp.Dorgon was asked to take wine and food, reward the three armies, and celebrate everyone's escape. Of course, Huang Taiji was even happier that Dorgon did not betray him.

"Brother, didn't you say that you are in Shengjing?" Duoduo asked anxiously while pulling Dorgon at an empty spot.

"After all, it's for Dajin's country and society. No matter how bastard I am, Dorgon, I can't do this kind of thing." Dorgon shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "If this kind of thing is really done, can I do it? Not being successful is two different things, and more importantly, Li Xin took advantage of it."

Duo Duo nodded after hearing this. At this time, he understood why Dorgon did not raise troops as in the legend. It turned out that Dorgon still had an overall situation.But when he thought of what Huang Taiji had done, he suddenly became furious, and told what Huang Taiji had done, and finally said: "Brother, I have lost a lot of people in the two white banners this time, what should I do?"

After Dorgon heard this, he narrowed his eyes, and there was a murderous look in his eyes, and finally he patted Duoduo's hand and said: "Don't worry, our strength will not decrease this time, but will increase a lot. Do you think I was rescued by King Qin this time! Tell me, in this situation, can he still watch our soldiers and horses lose all of them?"

"That's right." Duoduo finally could only say, "It's a pity that Li Xin ran away this time."

"There will always be opportunities in the future." Dorgon comforted.In his expression, no expression could be seen, and he seemed more restrained.

If Li Xin was here, he would definitely be able to see that the Dorgon at this time is completely different from the previous Dorgon, and has become more of a city.

Of course, Li Xin doesn't know all this now. At this moment, he is leading an army of tens of thousands to show off his power under the city of Zunhua, Hong Chengchou and others on the top of the city.

"Hong Chengchou, open the city gate and let me, Li Xin, in." Li Xinyang said loudly, holding the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand, "What's the matter, I am the Marquis of Zhengbei personally appointed by the imperial court, why don't you open the city gate with me."

The faces of Hong Chengchou and the others changed drastically, and they looked coldly at Li Xin who was under the city. These people were just as Fan Wencheng and the others had seen, distributing gold, silver and treasures in the city, but they did not expect that Li Xin would kill him so soon. It's here, which surprised everyone, they didn't dare to neglect, and hurried up the city wall.

"Master Hou, the city of Zunhua is very small, and Lord Hou has many soldiers and horses, so it's inconvenient to enter the city. It's better to station outside the city!" Hong Chengchou said with a half-smile.The meaning of this sentence is to prevent Li Xin from entering Zunhua City.

"Then offer the food and grass of the army. I wonder if the general will agree?" Li Xin said lightly.

"Master Hou, there is not enough food and grass in the city, and there is not enough food for the army, Master Hou should look for other food and grass!" Said proudly, raising his orchid finger up on the top of the city.

"Since Eunuch Gao said so, then the Marquis agrees." Li Xin said with a sneer, "It's so, the Marquis is looking for food and grass outside the city. Take it easy! Let’s go, soldiers, let’s go find food and grass.” While saying that, he ignored the crowd, turned his horse’s head, and the army headed south to kill.

"What is Li Xin trying to do? It doesn't feel right!" Lu Xiangsheng's expression changed, and he said nervously.

"Is there still food and grass outside the city of Zunhua? Won't he go and grab the food and grass from those people's homes?" Gao Qiqian suddenly shook his head and said, "There are not many people outside the city, let alone food and grass."

"No, this guy Li Xin wants to attack the camp outside the city, why did he forget this?" Hong Chengchou's face suddenly changed, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "How many people are there outside our city?" Soldiers and horses, who is leading the army?"

"There are 4 soldiers and horses outside the city. Including disabled soldiers, there are about [-] soldiers. They are led by Zuo Liangyu." Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly said: "Master, this Li Xin is probably not so arrogant! He actually wants to attack us camp."

"There is food and grass in the camp, which is enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops for several days. Li Xin only has more than 3 troops. The food and grass are enough for him to last for a long time, and it is enough for him to wait until the fire at Xifengkou is extinguished and return to the grassland. We miscalculated this time." Hong Chengchou thought of this all of a sudden, his expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.He finally thought of Li Xin's next move.

Sure enough, a moment later, Li Xin led an army to rush through Zunhua, and the direction of attack was the camp outside the city.

"What should I do?" Lu Xiangsheng's complexion changed, regretful.He also had no choice, not only the Tianxiong army entered the city, but also other armies, the Tianxiong army could be restrained, but he would not restrain the other armies.After entering the city of Zunhua, these people began to rob everywhere. Jiannu left a large amount of food, grass and gold and silver treasures here. suppressed by the army.As for the army outside the city, there is no time to manage it.So far it has not been arranged.

Hong Chengchou and the others can only watch helplessly as the army roars past outside the city. Tens of thousands of cavalry, black-clothed, black-armored and black-flags, flutter past. Huacheng was also shaking again and again, and the soldiers on the top of the city saw it in their eyes, and their faces were full of horror.

Fifty miles away from the city, Hong Chengchou's camp was stationed here from the beginning, and Zuo Liangyu had already discovered Li Xin's army roaring towards him, and he was frightened, so he quickly ordered the army to prepare for defense.

"Is General Zuo Liangyu in front?" Li Xin patted his horse forward. Li Xin had been famous for the general in front of him for a long time. At this time, Zuo Liangyu was not as bastard as in history.

"Zuo Liangyu pays homage to Marquis Zhengbei. I don't know why Marquis Zhengbei is here?" Zuo Liangyu looked at the black cavalry in front of him, with a hint of fear on his face.He has heard of Li Xin's name, and the imperial guards under his command are also rare and elite. How can he resist with the soldiers and horses under his command?
"This Marquis needs food and grass, how much can General Zuo provide?" Li Xin said lightly.He came here mainly for food and grass. Only with food and grass can he support until the fire at Xifengkou is extinguished.

Looking at the army outside, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help swallowing. He was not only shocked by Li Xin's arrogance, but more importantly, the army around Li Xin. This is the most important thing. Tens of thousands of cavalry stood outside the camp How powerful it is to be motionless.Zuo Liangyu had also seen Guan Ning's iron cavalry before, but compared with the army in front of him, Guan Ning's iron cavalry was much less fearful.

"Food, food and grass are all allocated by the Ministry of War. I don't know if Lord Hou has it, whether there is a document from the Ministry of War, or an order from Master Hong." If Zuo Liangyu was in normal times, it might be true that he was targeting Li Xin's cavalry. The food will be presented with both hands, but right now it is under the city of Zunhua, and Hong Chengchou's army is not far away.Zuo Liangyu was a smart man, Li Xin killed him from Zunhua, obviously he didn't get food and grass from Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou didn't give food and grass, and Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to.

"So, General Zuo didn't give Benhou any face?" Li Xin held Fang Tian's painted halberd and looked at Zuo Liangyu coldly. It's because there is a lot of evil fire that hasn't found a place to burst out yet.Hong Chengchou has a strong city in his hands, even if Li Xin wants to settle accounts with him, it will be difficult.The Zuo Liangyu in front of him, the big sesame general dared to resist.Li Xin was about to get angry.

"It's not that the general is being rude, but the general really doesn't dare to offend military discipline." Zuo Liangyu is now ready to die, and he is extremely scared. Li Xin is not an ordinary person. If he really makes a fuss, Zuo Liangyu Even ten heads are not enough for Li Xin to cut off.With Li Xin holding a powerful army, even the imperial court feared three points.If this happens, Zuo Liangyu will definitely be in trouble.

"Since you don't give it, then the Marquis will go get it himself." Li Xin snorted coldly, dragging Fang Tian's painted halberd on the ground in his hand, the army marched slowly, tens of thousands of cavalry shook the ground, and all kinds of weapons in his hands flickered With a cold light, Chao Zuo Liangyu's battalion crushed him like a giant war beast.

"Master Hou, this is where the imperial army is, you, don't come!" Seeing Li Xin leading tens of thousands of cavalry pressing up, Zuo Liangyu suddenly felt a huge pressure coming over his face, his face was pale, and he couldn't help shouting Said.

"I, Li Xin, am loyal to the imperial court. This time when the slavery came, the Marquis traveled thousands of miles to support me. In the end, you even gave me food and grass. Are you going to let the three armies fight for the imperial court hungry?" Li Xin waved his hands. weapons, and said loudly: "Soldiers, what do you need?"

"Eat enough." Gao Meng said in a low voice.

"Eat enough." Following him, the soldiers also let out bursts of shouts, and the sound shook the world, even the soldiers around Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Master Hou, don't step forward, or you won't be polite at the end." Zuo Liangyu finally felt flustered, because the army led by Li Xin was slowly approaching and was not affected by Zuo Liangyu at all. Yu didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly ordered his subordinates to draw bows and arrows, and as long as he gave an order, he would shoot and kill everything in front of him.It's just that Zuo Liangyu is Zuo Liangyu, and he hasn't grown into a great warlord in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Take the axe." Li Xin looked gloomy, and suddenly touched from the side of the saddle, and instantly saw a small black ax appearing in his hand. Not only him, but also other soldiers were the same. Here comes a small axe.This is also one of Li Xin's secret weapons, which can have a huge effect at critical times.

Just imagine what it would be like if tens of thousands of small axes attacked together in the air.Although this kind of small ax is very small in size and only weighs a few kilograms, it is extremely fast when flying at high speed, and it is definitely not something ordinary people can fight against when it hits a person.

Following Li Xin's order, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky and smashed towards the Ming army camp.There were bursts of whistling sounds, and miserable screams came again and again.Poor these soldiers, they were shocked by Li Xin's cavalry at first, and thought that Li Xin would draw a bow and set an arrow, and thought that it would be a close-range attack, but they didn't expect Li Xin to attack with a throwing axe.This kind of attack is more lethal than bows and arrows, as long as they touch each other, they will be injured.

Zuo Liangyu fled. In fact, when he saw Li Xin take out a small axe, he knew what Li Xin was planning.He fled without hesitation.He thinks that his martial arts skills are not bad, but if he wants to see what kind of scene will happen when tens of thousands of small axes break through the air, this ax is not a bow and arrow. The small ax hit, almost certain death.Zuo Liangyu was not yet arrogant enough to think that his martial arts could withstand these small flying axes, so he ran away without thinking, preparing to retreat to the second line of defense and organize soldiers to continue to resist Li Xin.

It's a pity that he thinks too highly of his soldiers.When these soldiers saw Zuo Liangyu fleeing, they didn't have the heart to defend, and they were facing the small flying ax coming from the air, and the defense was not in place. There were countless casualties in a short time, and some people were cut by the ax that hit at high speed. Some people had their heads cut off, some had their hands chopped off, and some soldiers even hit the enemy's door because of their weak strength.The soldiers defending at the gate fell down in a flash, and the huge wooden stake that was used as the fence of the camp was also hit by an axe, and it was cut to pieces in an instant, so it couldn't play a defensive role.

"Attack." Seeing that the first wave of attack went very smoothly, Li Xin's eyes lit up, and the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand pointed at the sky, urging the dark clouds under his crotch to step on the snow, and charged towards the camp of the Ming army.

Zuo Liangyu's subordinates were already shocked by Li Xin's first wave of attack, and their minds were in a state of panic. Seeing the cavalry led by Li Xin approaching at this moment, they threw down their hands one after another. weapon, turned and fled.Where is the mind to resist.I wish I could grow four legs, or put on wings and escape from this place.

Li Xin and the soldiers behind him looked at the mountains and plains, and the Ming soldiers who were running around were stunned. This was just the first wave of attack. The cavalry hadn't broken through the camp at this time, and the opponent started to flee without even a little resistance. meet.This kind of situation is almost rare to see, whether it is Lin Danhan's army or Jiannu's army, they have never encountered such a situation.

"These grandsons are really a bunch of useless people." Gao Meng couldn't help muttering.

"This Li Xin is really bold, to attack the imperial army so blatantly." Zuo Liangyu scolded while running away.He also didn't expect Li Xin to be so courageous, ordering the army to attack his garrison without saying a word.Zuo Liangyu asked herself if she didn't have the courage.Once upon a time, these generals who commanded the army had such courage, did Li Xin want to rebel?
However, Zuo Liangyu couldn't take care of these anymore, because the shouts behind him gave him no time to rectify the army, organize a second line of defense, and resist Li Xin's attack. He could only run, run, and run again.The soldiers around him even beheaded many court troops in order to protect Zuo Liangyu from escaping.The entire camp is now in chaos.

You must know that the army under Hong Chengchou's command is not a few powerful characters, and all the truly powerful ones are brought by his side. Except for one army in Shanhaiguan, the rest of the army led by Zuo Liangyu are guard troops. It may be okay for the army to rob houses on weekdays, but it may be much worse when it is really facing an elite army, let alone resisting Li Xin's army.

The three armies of Li Xin, Zhao Guang, and Gao Meng rushed straight into the Ming army camp, and any forces that resisted were wiped out in an instant, and countless soldiers knelt on the ground and dared not resist and surrender.

"My lord, I found the food and grass, which is enough for us for ten days." The battle went smoothly, but in just an hour, Li Xin completely captured the camp that Hong Chengchou had painstakingly built, and the guard Zuo Liangyu led the remnant soldiers The defeated general returned to Zunhua City after making a big circle, and Li Xin also owned Hong Chengchou's tent of the Chinese army.Similarly, Li Xin also found the food and grass he needed. Although the food and grass seemed to be a lot, Li Xin’s soldiers and horses were all cavalry. The food and grass consumed every day was huge, but it could last for ten days. Li Xin has done many things.

"There are still a lot of wounded soldiers." After Gao Meng reported the harvest, Zhao Guang also said aloud: "There are still many people. It is said that they are the people in Zunhua City. I heard that these people have been charged with collaborating with the enemy, and they are waiting for the court to deal with them!"

"What a shameless person. He is ready to kill the good and take the credit, but this Hong Chengchou can do anything!" Li Xin said disdainfully.
