Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 506 Luoyang City Trapped Li Zicheng
Li Zicheng is not calm anymore, 3 horses, two tiger generals, plus the cunning Song Xiance, and cannons, dangerous pass, lost Guancheng so quickly, he has only left Hulao for a few days?

Li Zicheng had only been away from Hulaoguan for a few days, and it was only ten days after he had fought and counted. When Li Zicheng returned to Luoyang, his butt was not warm yet. Liu Fangliang, Song Xiance, and Gao Yigong returned with the defeated soldiers.

This defeat is too fast, right?Not only Li Zicheng found it unbelievable, but all the civil and military generals under Li Zicheng also found it unbelievable, especially those generals who had never fought against Zhu Yousong. There are more ingenuity than stars, how could they lose so badly?It is said that Emperor Hongguang was wise and powerful, he used his troops like a god, he won every attack, and he was invincible. It seems that this statement is true!
The 1 troops from Hulaoguan came back with less than [-] horses. After entering the city, Liu Fangliang and the other three knelt down in front of Li Zicheng to plead guilty.

Li Zicheng's face sank like water, and he asked them about the details of the loss of Guancheng. The three of them were full of frustration, and they didn't dare to hide it, so they answered truthfully.

"Zhu Yousong is really scheming!" Li Zicheng couldn't help cursing after hearing this, but he stopped cursing after only this sentence, because he also used this trick against the Ming army back then, during the battle in Tongguan Nanyuan , his tens of thousands of horses were chased and intercepted by Hong Chengchou and other 10,000+ troops. Many of his old troops who were used to fighting could not withstand the coercion and temptation of the court (referring to the Chongzhen court) and surrendered. In turn, they chased and killed him. Gao Jie, Li Chengdong and He Ren The same is true of the dragons and others. When he was desperate, he used this trick on these former subordinates who surrendered today. It also worked very well at that time. The same trick, which is also called repaying the other person in the same way, the same strategy, which was a good trick for him, turned out to be a trick for Zhu Yousong, even he himself felt that he was at a loss for words.

In fact, Zhu Yousong learned this trick from Li Zicheng. Zhu Yousong was a time traveler, and he was considered a third-rate intellectual before time travel. In addition to studying in textbooks, he also read movies and TV shows, and online novels. Zhu Yousong already had a good understanding of Li Zicheng's all-powerful crossing, and today it is appropriate to use the tactics he used to deal with his subordinates.

Thinking of those surrendered generals, especially Huiying Huimei and Zhang Nai, Li Zicheng gritted his teeth. The defeat at Hulaoguan this time was purely at their hands. You must know that they are such ungrateful people. They should be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs.

But soon his face calmed down and he accepted the fact.

Li Zicheng is indeed a historical celebrity, and even a great man in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. One of the important factors why he became famous and became a great man is that he has a particularly strong ability to resist blows. No amount of failure, no matter how severe the failure, he can't change his perseverance. He firmly believes that no matter how many failures, as long as he doesn't die, there will always be a bright future, and there is always a success that belongs to him.As a result, when there were only seventeen riders left, he succeeded.

In addition, his view of betrayal is also very extreme. The betrayal of his wife and brother, he has experienced a lot in these years, and he has almost become numb. Now he can bear any kind of betrayal, and he doesn't care about having more daughters and sons. Or being a son-in-law or something, so he only scolded Zhu Yousong for the defeat at Hulaoguan, and he just gritted his teeth and swallowed Huiying, Huimei and Zhang Nai.

There is no punishment for Song Xiance, Liu Fangliang, and Gao Yigong, the three defeated generals. It's okay to lose again and again. Why can't others be allowed to fail?In addition, they can't be killed, let alone when they are employing people now!
It was too late, and now he had to face a severe situation. The 15 army he had personally conquered a few months ago, now including the remnants of the defeated soldiers who returned from Hulao Pass and the thousands of defenders in Shanzhou, only 3 remained There are more than [-] Ming troops twenty miles south of Luoyang. Zhu Yousong's brigade will arrive from time to time, and Luoyang will be in danger by then.

Therefore, he hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance. Their previous plan to eat more than 3 people including Chen Qianfu and Yuan Shu was overthrown.

Song Xiance suggested that Li Zicheng abandon Luoyang and retreat to Shanzhou for a long-term plan. This is undoubtedly a brilliant move that can be advanced or retreated.

However, Niu Jinxing holds a different view. From the bottom of his heart, he also believes that Song Xiance's plan is feasible, and he even has no choice. Shaking his head, he suggested to Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, Chen Qianfu and Yuan Shu will definitely look at it, and they will definitely pursue it. I am afraid that Shanzhou will not be able to keep it. Your Majesty's personal expedition will return in vain. The Luoyang and Shanzhou that we finally won are in vain. Leaving it to Zhu Yousong is too cheap for this stupid king!"

Li Zicheng was a little hesitant. What the two big think tanks said made sense. He really didn't want to give up in Luoyang and Shanzhou. Has the 10,000+ people spent so many days in vain?How can you have the face to meet Jiangxi's elders when you go back like this?What is the prestige of his Daxi emperor?But without giving up Luoyang, how can 5 horses deal with Zhu Yousong's 10,000+ army?Can the isolated city of Luoyang be defended?After consecutive defeats, morale was extremely low, and Li Zicheng really didn't know what to do.

Li Zicheng also thought of leaving some troops and retreating first, but the manpower is too limited, how many troops should be left?The Luoyang city in front of me is full of troops and has only 5 horses.Who can defend Luoyang?The generals and counselors under him flashed through Li Zicheng's mind one by one, and finally Li Zicheng shook his head again. Then Luoyang might become the second Hulaoguan again, and the result would be the same as Niu Jinxing's strategy...

Li Zicheng kept shaking his head and sighing, pacing back and forth. One day passed like this, and the next day was the same. On the third day, Li Zicheng was still wandering between walking and staying.

In the evening of that day, Zhu Yousong's 3 troops marched outside Luoyang City. Zhu Yousong gave an order to join Chen Qianfu's more than 13 horse soldiers, and nearly [-] horses surrounded Luoyang City.

After getting the report, Li Zicheng felt that he was a little indecisive. He took all the civil and military generals to the top of the city. The sunset glow in Luoyang reflected the western sky red. Some were setting up cannons, some were setting up camp, shouting, running, and horns sounded constantly. Li Zicheng sighed in dismay. Is the sky going to kill Li Zicheng? !
