The night is as dark as ink.

Three or two lights are like beans, with stars, from far to near, from near to far, and from near to far, extending to far.

Everything was silent, except for the chirping sound of insects, there were only the chaotic sound of footsteps.

Hong Tai stood on the beacon tower on the yellow grass beam, silently watching the starry lights "spout" from Tianjin Pass to the west, and then was "swallowed" by the "Yi Line" in the east.

It turned out that the Huangcaoliang established by Hong Tai was the commanding heights near Tianjin Pass, which was convenient for observing the nearby military situation, so the Ming army specially set up a beacon tower here.

After the Jin soldiers arrived here, Hong Tai took a look at the location of the place at a glance, so he climbed onto the yellow grass beam and directed the soldiers' retreat.

Tianjin Pass to the west and "Yi Line Sky" to the east are both nearby dangerous places.

However, although this place is so dangerous, he still has the Ming army to guard it.

However, Hong Tai was not happy about this, but was filled with pain and annoyance.

He was the dignified "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty", with one of three or even one of two or two, and mobilized one of 160,000 troops into the pass and bet on the national destiny.

As a result, he lost the bet and could only flee east in panic with the remaining 30,000 troops under his command. I don’t know who he was sad to tell me.

Prince Na Ying Ajige was probably indeed killed in battle; even if Prince Zheng Jirhalang did not die, his men and horses would be completely destroyed.

As for Prince Su Haoge, a rebellious son, although others were not dead, they would be better than to die like the two people in front of them.

At this moment, he thought a lot, but he quickly expelled these thoughts from his mind.

To be alive, all this is only meaningful only when he is alive and leads troops out alive.

He still has soldiers in his hands, and his old rival Chongzhen still has soldiers in his hands.

As long as the two sides join forces, they will definitely be able to withstand the attack of "Sushi"!

As for whether Chongzhen would agree to such a thing, he didn't have to think about it at all.

Although I killed his soldiers, occupied his land, captured his people, and robbed his wealth, as a mature monarch, he would definitely forgive me!

Thinking of this, Hong Tai's gaze became more and more firm.

At this moment, I suddenly saw someone climbing up from the bottom of the mountain. Hong Tai looked carefully with the faint light and found that it was Fan Wencheng.

"Your Highness, the attack of "Shunter" has indeed become weaker!" Fan Wencheng, who was panting, couldn't help but report to Hong Taihui excitedly.

"Okay!" Hong Tai, who was also tired, poured out the nosebleed that was already filled with teacup, and patted his thighs, saying, "This is really a disaster for me!"

It turned out that since the 21st hour of Yin, the two sides have fought for three days and two nights.

And during these three days and two nights, most soldiers had no time to close their eyes and had already reached their limits.

Compared with the Rebel Army, which had peasants as the main soldiers, the Later Jin soldiers, whose conditions were more difficult and fishing and hunting tribes, were obviously more resilient.

Although this extra tenacity cannot make Hong Tai turn defeat into victory and defeat the rebels, it is enough to support him until the rebels' offensive strength is reduced, and then withdraw from the battlefield in a relatively intact manner.

But, what is the price?

"At noon on July 23, after a day and night of hard work by Li Zicheng and Zhang Fengyi, the remnants of the Jirgalang tribe located between Yinglong Mountain and Hanba Mountain." Just as Hong Tai received the news that the rebels' offense slowed down, Xu Ziyuan was reporting to Zhang Shunhui who could hardly open his eyes.

"On the evening of the 23rd, with the help of Zhang Fengyi's army, Zuo Shuai Zhang Sanbai used Wukong and Ji Longfeng as sharp swords to finally tore the defense line of the Haoge troops stranded west of Tianjin Pass."

"The two sides fought fiercely until late at night, and the rebels killed no less than 3,000 of their troops, captured and received 4,000 surrenders, and wiped out about 10,000 enemies. Haoge led the remaining remnants and fled in a hurry."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhang Shun praised it hoarsely, and then continued to order, "I heard that the Tartars are quite patient and hard to fight, and now I will know it."

"Will everyone can't stand it anymore,

He told the troops to arrange a guard post, and rest for one night, and make a decision tomorrow morning."

"Li Jiyu's unit continues to launch a fierce attack, so you must not give Hong Tai a chance to breathe!"

It’s impossible not to rest, basically the entire army has exhausted its physical strength.

If Zhang Shun holds on hard, he will be afraid that if he will not only let the cooked duck fly, but also end up losing his wife and soldiers.

According to the current situation, the 20,000 troops of the Chirgalang division and some central troops of the Later Jin Dynasty were considered to be completely finished.

The left-wing Prince Su Haoge's troops had 20,000 troops, at least half of them were sold.

The main force of the Later Jin Central Army has lost at least ten thousand people during this retreat.

Now that the losses caused by the war between the two sides have been dispersed, the Later Jin Dynasty lost almost 50,000 troops in this battle.

If we add the Battle of Banquan, the Battle of Ashan Fort and the destruction of the Azige tribe, the Later Jin mobilized 160,000 troops, which actually lost more than 90,000.

This regime with a population of only one million and less than four hundred thousand was suffering a devastating blow.

So Zhang Shun was not in a hurry at all, and the one who was in a hurry should be Jianlu in front of him.

"What, Jianlu suddenly launched a large-scale outing in the east?" Just as Zhang Shun and Hong Tai had their own conspiracy, Chongzhen, two hundred miles away, also received news that shocked their king and his ministers.

According to their thoughts, the Eastern Barbarians and Western Barbarians each performed their own offenses, and it was impossible to decide the winner within three months to half a year.

Now that the East Guard has advanced westward for only twenty days, why has the East Guard returned?

"How is the outcome of both sides now?" Chongzhen calmed down and asked anxiously.

"This..." Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and I didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Only Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, heard this, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I will report to Your Majesty, the East and the West, the strength of the troops on both sides is not enough, and I cannot find out the truth."

"However, when the rebellion of the Jianlu rebellion came, the army was extremely powerful, and the old slave, the father and son of Hong, were alert and cunning, and were no less than Cao Cao and Cao Pi."

"If you "follow the thief", you are just like the yellow turban and red eyebrows. How can you defeat it?"

"I hope that your Majesty will immediately summon troops from all directions to help the king, so as to prevent the capital from being trapped by the enemy!"

"This..." Chongzhen was confused when he heard this and was about to give an order.

Unexpectedly, Ding Kuichu, the governor of Ji Liao, spoke, "Gei Master Wen, this is a bad word."

"The "Shun Bid" has most of the land in Shaanxi, Henan and Henan to see the world; the "Shun Bid" Zhang Shun is cunning and powerful, and will not be inferior to Hong Tai."

"Therefore, when two thieves fight, the victory or defeat should be between five and five, and Jianlu may not win."

"Now that the two sides are fighting for less than a month, Jianlu is defeated and he must be the winner."

"Please make plans early, just in case!"

"Ding Kuichu, what do you mean?" Wen Tiren couldn't help but feel embarrassed and said in anger as soon as Ding Kuichu said.

"Nothing interesting!"

"What does it mean to be meaningless? So you should advise Your Majesty to move south and spend all the northern territory?" Wen Tiren couldn't help but squint his eyes.

It turns out that since the Rebel Army advanced eastward, there have been constant discussions on the Ming Dynasty and the opposition to move south, and there have been a lot of controversy.

Chongzhen was very proud of his face and reputation, and he was unable to make decisions for a long time, which made all the ministers use this as an opportunity to attack each other.

It even spread to the palace for a time, causing a conflict between Empress Tianqi Zhang Yan and Empress Chongzhen Zhou.

Sure enough, Wen Tiren said this and immediately caused a huge wave.

"The land of our ancestors cannot be abandoned. Please kill Ding Kuichu to warn you!"

"As soon as the capital is abandoned, the countries north of the Yellow River will be owned. Alas, Alas!"

"I cried for one of them. After the Lord surrendered without fighting, the second crying Huiqin and the other cults did not guard Tokyo, and the third crying Yu Qian guarded the capital. I was about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first..."

"Uh..." Chongzhen suddenly burst into tears when he heard this, and his mind that was already a little ready to move became calm again.
