After explaining all this, Wu Shigong took a long breath and sighed: "The storm is coming!"

As one of the few historical events in Wu Shigong's memory, Li Zicheng's conquest of Beijing was undoubtedly the first major event. After time travel, everything Wu Shigong did was aimed at this major event.

All kinds of preparations have been made to prevent this day from coming.

But to Wu Shigong's expectation, this day came so quickly. Wu Shigong thought that driving the camp to the north of the Yellow River would have already injured his bones and muscles. Unexpectedly, in just three or four months,

Inside, Chuangying actually swept across the entire northwestern provinces, expanded its army to one million, and gained the strength and ambition to change the dynasty.

Wu Shigong originally thought that the injured Dashun Army would have to recuperate for more than half a year before regaining its strength, and that the Qing Army would gradually withdraw from the interior after the beginning of spring. By then, the Runing Army would be able to fight with ease.

He was prepared for all emergencies. But he never expected that neither of these two conditions had been fulfilled.

So after sighing for a while, Wu Shigong then looked at Xue Zhinong and asked: "How is the arrangement of the Shanchuan Division in the capital? Can you guarantee the safety of my family?"

"The Shanchuan Division has been preparing for nearly ten years. Before this war, Deputy Director Li also rushed to Beijing and prepared several plans. The worst...the worst is to bring the prince out." Xue Zhinong replied.

.

"What's wrong!" Wu Shigong immediately got angry, "What I want is the whole family! The whole family!"

In the capital, there are many people in the two princes' houses, not to mention the relatives of Genzhimanjie. Although the relationship between those people and Wu Shigong was not very good at that time, blood is thicker than water. Wu Shigong didn't want it at all.

They were in danger. In addition, when they left the capital, most of the family members who were escorting them were also in the capital, so Wu Shigong did not want these people to be harmed.

Relatively speaking, Beijing City and the imperial court do not matter. If Beijing City is really captured by Li Zicheng and the Ming Dynasty is really overthrown, this will not have much impact on the Runing Army itself. Wu Shigong just waited until he won the melee in the Central Plains.

It's just a matter of finding a way to regain the city of Beijing. It won't affect the overall strategy of the Runing Army very much.

"So... then uncle! I'm going to the capital to preside over it now!" Seeing Wu Shigong getting angry, Xue Zhinong said indifferently.

"Forget it!" Wu Shigong waved his hand. He took a long breath and suppressed his anger, "Just resign yourself to fate! There must be no chaos here. Hey -!"

The secret agents of the Runing Army only found out the news after Li Zicheng's Shun Army crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi. They then sent it all the way to Wuchang, and then rushed from Wuchang City to Beijing. After such a long time, the Shun Army might have captured it long ago.

Once in the capital, the day lilies will become cold. So now Wu Shigong can only hope that the spies arranged in the capital can move smoothly and rescue more of his family members.

And after Zhang Biao's Xiongchui Town left, Wu Shigong only had He Fei's direct troops, the Marine Corps and Jiang Cheng and Zhao Degong's two independent allies. The remaining more than 40,000 soldiers were all escorts of the trading company.

The combat effectiveness of the Zhuang team and the captured soldiers was uneven, and they had to face hundreds of thousands of rebel soldiers and civilians in Wuchang City. Why didn't this worry Wu Shigong?

On the same day, Xue Yongli was at the camp in Heze.

After reading the secret report copied from Runing, Xue Yongli frowned and said nothing. After thinking for a long time, he ordered: "Rusong! There are only a thousand cavalry left here. The rest of the cavalry will be given to you.

, and I will give you an alliance of troops. All the people will be equipped with mules and horses, and they will cross the river to Puyang first. After that, you must be careful along the way, do not fight with the bandits and Tatars, find a gap and rush to the capital, no matter what, you must

The marquis, madam, young lady and the prince will be brought out."

"Sir! What should we do here?" Liang Hui asked at the side.

"What should we do?"

Henan, we no longer care about northern and central Henan, and the entire army will immediately return to Runing."

"promise!"

At this time, Xue Yongli's face was full of troubled expression, and he couldn't help but curse: "God damn it!..."

May 14, in Luoyang City.

"Dong Weng! So far, we have recruited more than 36,000 soldiers. The craftsmen in the city have been working day and night to build them, so that we can only have one soldier per man. But we are short of armor and horses." Zuo Yin reported to Yu Zilian.

"Feng Gu! Do you want to cross north to King Qin?" Yang Tinglin asked with a smile.

Yu Zilian smiled back and asked: "Brother Boxiang! According to your opinion, what is the future of Ruheiyunjunqinwang?"

"Hahaha!" Yang Tinglin laughed immediately, and then replied simply, "There will be no life for a hundred deaths. I wonder what the harvest is?"

"Heroes see the same thing! Report to the court and ask the emperor and the court to move south to Nanjing! Wu Bifu and Shandong Liu Zongbing will try our best to keep the south of the Yellow River and give up the north to the bandits first! There will be changes in the future.

, the imperial court will work harder and find opportunities to regain the lost territory." Yu Zilian also answered simply.

For civil servants such as Yu Zilian and Yang Tinglin, the emperor is actually a symbol. It doesn't matter who is the emperor. As long as the Ming Dynasty still has the surname Zhu, they will regard it as orthodox.

Therefore, although the capital was in trouble and Emperor Chongzhen was anxious, Yu Zilian and Yang Tinglin were not worried. Their first priority was to preserve the Black Cloud Army, otherwise, without this army, they would immediately lose their power and status.

May 15th, Xuzhou.

"Your Majesty! Let those pigs and dogs charge at you for a while. This slave will love to watch such a good show! Hahaha!" Oboi said with a laugh.

Huang Taiji endured the discomfort and said with a smile: "It's an expedient measure! This can't be done unless it's an exception. Remember this!" Then he waved his hand and ordered, "Let's drive the Han people away again!"

After the last defeat in Xuzhou, the Qing army changed its strategy and first used more than a dozen cavalry groups with more than a thousand men to go around the back of the Runing army and began to invade the Guide area and cut off the food routes of the Runing army.

At first, this tactic did make the Runing army a little confused. But when Xue Yong's Jiao attack town arrived, he immediately sent troops to protect the grain transport convoy, which immediately stabilized the Runing army's defense line in Xuzhou. After all,

The light cavalry of the Qing army could not capture the heavily defended Guidefu City.

The Runing Army's years of marching training have also yielded miraculous results. Whether they are marching or camping, day or night, they can always respond appropriately to a surprise attack by the Qing Army, and even give the Qing Army a huge boost.

of killing.

In addition, Xuzhou City was closely united with the Runing Army outside the city. On many occasions, Xuzhou City organized troops to transport grain and grass to the Runing Army, which also greatly reduced the supply pressure on the Runing Army.

When the Qing army saw that their plan failed, they started another one. Next, as the Qing army captured and captured a large number of young people, they began to use the tactic of driving away the people first.

The Qing army put tens of thousands of Han people at the front, equipping them with only the simplest weapons and farm tools. Then they drove them to charge towards the Runing Army's position. If they broke through, they would rush in. If the Han people fled or turned back, they would rush in.

, then they will face merciless slaughter.

So when they faced such brutal tactics for the first time, the soldiers of the Runing Army were completely passive. Facing the enemy was one thing, but facing the people was another. Many soldiers simply couldn't bear to be ruthless.

Killing people, so facing the charging Han people, they didn't know what to do.

Some soldiers just shouted warnings; some even wanted to let the civilians pass and then block the Qing army behind them. And the commanding officers found it difficult to order their soldiers to massacre those compatriots.

However, the people who were driven away were merciless. They faced the Runing Army and tried to rush over. Unexpectedly, the Runing Army's first line of defense was instantly overwhelmed. This made the Runing Army's

The soldiers were so angry that they even saw the civilians being killed with tears, and they regarded themselves as life-or-death enemies.

The common people's fear of the Qing army has made them lose their minds. They only want to obey the orders of the Qing army and fight to open a way in order to survive. But everything else has been forgotten by them.

It's over.

Fortunately, the Runing Army on the second line of defense opened fire in time. Coupled with obstacles such as wooden fences, horse barriers, and earthen walls, the speed of the people slowed down. After a burst of fierce firepower, the crazy people

The people finally retreated. Although these retreating people were also massacred by the Qing army, they always gave the Runing army a chance to breathe.

After that, Shumo and Zuge slapped the officers commanding from the front. The purpose was to make these people wake up. Anyone who dares to charge against the Runing Army is the enemy of the Runing Army.

Therefore, when the Han people charged for the second time, the Runing Army exerted strong firepower. Fortunately, the last great victory also captured a large number of artillery pieces of the Qing Army, so after some shooting, the Runing Army was completely beaten in front of the formation.

There was a river of blood. There were even corpses piled up on the ground.

However, such a battle really tested the nerves of the soldiers of the Runing Army. In addition, such a massacre wasted a large amount of ammunition of the Runing Army, so the Runing Army experienced the biggest test since the war began.

As the battle progressed, the Qing army gradually figured out the rules of the Runing army. So they kept driving the Han people to charge until the artillery and muskets of the Runing army were too red to shoot, and then the Han people in front
Chapter completed!
