Li Zicheng had to withdraw.

When he withdrew all the cavalry from Shimen City, the infantry in the city, Bai Guangen's men, who had formerly killed the generals of the Dashun Army, took back the city wall, and closed the city gate tightly.

Of course, their courage to do this is also related to seeing Yuan Zongdi's body on the city walled city start to show signs of failure.

Li Zicheng withdrew.

The 10,000 army he personally led was running on the side near Zushan, and on the outside were Li Shuangxi's 10,000 elite cavalry.

Seeing this, Xiao Alin also issued a new combat order.

"Woo...woo...woo...woo...woo..."

After three long bronze horns rang out, Dai Qing's army and Kakedu's rituals bypassed Yuan Zongdi and Tian Hu's army, who were retreating, rushed towards Li Guo's army behind!

The first brigade led by Xiao Alin also went down the hillside and slowly pressed towards Li Shuangxi's troops.

...

After receiving Li Zicheng's order, Liu Tichun and Xin Sixiao, who were on a stone, retreated without any hesitation. They rushed westward along the narrow valley lying in the north of Changshou Mountain.

There was no suspense either. As soon as Liu Tichun and Xin Sixiao left, the former deputy general of Xi'an, Wang Genzi, immediately surrendered to the opposite Leng Yun's troops.

Chuckdan personally brought the first brigade he led and the second brigade of Dachun from Yipianshi. However, at this time, Liu Tichun and his team had already arrived at the edge of the Shihe River.

They are facing a choice again.

The shallowest part of the river, on the other side, has been occupied by Wu Yinglong's infantry camp.

To the south, the water of the Shihe River became deep and urgent after entering Changshou Mountain. If the cavalry wanted to cross the river there, they had to consider it.

Of course, they can also go north along the east bank of the Shihe River and cross from the shallow water upstream, but in that case, they may miss the opportunity to meet with Li Zicheng's ministry.

As one of the Eighteen Cavalry, Liu Tichun also learned about Beijing. When he thought that Xin Sizhong had died in battle, his only younger brother was confused, Liu Tichun felt a little guilty.

After a while, he said to Xin Sixiao: "Leopard, we don't know anything about the enemy on the other side of the Shihe River. At this time, we don't know what the situation of the emperor's army is. If you cross the river rashly, the risk is too great. It's better to do this. Our army has 4,000 people, and we will give you another 2,000. You can take you upstream and find a place to cross. After the past, we will immediately go south to find the emperor. I will pretend to cross the river here to protect you."

When Xin Sixiao heard this, she was a little confused at first and thought to herself: "This Feihu has always been arrogant, why do you make such an arrangement now? It is said that his official title is higher than mine. In the past, I will only protect him. When will it be his turn to protect me?"

Just as he was about to say a few words of refusal, Liu Tichun cursed: "Although I don't know the details before, since the emperor has issued this order to me, most of the battle has begun near the Shimen Village. They are all good men, so why are they so tempted? Go away quickly!"

Xin Sixiao had no choice but to head north with five thousand cavalry who had strengthened two thousand cavalry.

Passing the city.

Gu Kecheng and Li Laiheng had about 13,000 horses, and according to Li Zicheng's instructions, he used the gap of the scout on the opposite river bank to quickly lay wooden boards on the two wooden bridges.

After that, Li Laiheng led the three thousand cavalry to suddenly cross the wooden bridge from near the North Wing City, attracting a large number of scouts. Gu Kecheng seized the opportunity to bring nearly 10,000 cavalry to cross the stone river from the wooden bridge to the south.

At this time, even if there were a large number of reconnaissance cavalry in the Hanhai Army, the north camp was still more than ten miles away from Guancheng. Moreover, there were only one cavalry brigade of Kuchuk and one infantry brigade of Sun Dingliao in the Dahai Army. It was still possible to defend and take the initiative to attack. Even if the Hanhai Army was arrogant, it would not do so.

When Zhu Ketu, who was in the south, wanted to cross Guancheng to attack. However, at this time, the infantry guarding Guancheng was a veteran from the camp. Most of his infantry were from Henan and Shaanxi, and they would not surrender easily. If you want to pass Guancheng and pursue Gu Kecheng, you have to take Guancheng first!

Zhu Ketu had no choice but to order Niu Chenghu, who was guarding Dongluo City, to attack Guancheng.

However, when Gu Kecheng's entire army crossed the Shihe River and burned all two wooden bridges, Zhuketu ordered Niu Chenghu to stop the attack.

He knew that as long as he defeated the Dashun cavalry on the west bank of the Shihe River, the infantry in Guancheng would surrender in the end.

So he personally led a cavalry brigade through a stone pass and followed Chuckdan.

...

Shimen City Village.

Dai Qing and Kake Duli suddenly came to his side, which surprised the Li Guo tribe behind Yuan Zongdi. At this time, according to the tactics of the Dashun Army, they would definitely completely defeat Yuan Zongdi's troops, and then drive Yuan Zongdi's defeated troops to rush towards Li Guo tribe. When the two units were mixed together and in chaos, if there was a neat team to enter, it would be unfavorable.

"Good thief"

In an instant, Li Guo understood the enemy's intention.

They are trying to keep their own troops, but that's fine. At present, there are not many troops that can harass the emperor's army, and it should be no problem for the emperor and the others to break out of the siege.

When he thought of this, he also gave up the retreat opportunity that Yuan Zongdi had desperately created for him, and soon issued an order to fight the enemy cavalry.

Like Yuan Zong, all of his ten thousand cavalry were pressed against him. He personally brought five thousand cavalry to meet Dai Qing's tribe, while Ma Chongxi and the remaining men met the Kakedu Rituals tribe.

A big melee has begun again!

...

On the east bank of the Shihe River, after Xin Sixiao's troops left, Liu Tichun pretended to cross the river on the shore, but after procrastinating for half an hour, he suddenly packed his luggage and headed north.

The Gu Kecheng and Li Laiheng of Guancheng immediately went north after crossing the Shihe River. Soon after, they came to the vicinity of Kuchuk Camp.

The other side had more than 10,000 troops. Even though they were from the Yakut tribe, Kuchuk, who had gained a lot of confidence after a fierce battle with the Eight Banners of Manchuria in Bamiancheng, did not dare to attack at will, and had to guard the camp with Sun Dingliao's tribe.

Soon, Xiao Alin's feint attack on Li Shuangxi's troops was soon effective.

Li Zicheng and Li Shuangxi's two divisions of about 20,000 cavalry quickly passed the narrow area near Xiao Alin. Strangely, Xiao Alin is not Kuchuk. Even if he only had three thousand cavalry under his command, these three thousand cavalry were composed by Xiao Alin using the backbone of the Niuerhe Khitan tribe who followed him to the Hanhai Army. In addition to following the Hanhai Army's training, he also had some methods of training cavalry passed down from his ancestors - needless to say, it was a common method used by the Khitans in the past.

Therefore, his three thousand cavalry could not only charge and rush into battle according to the regulations of the Hanhai Army, but also divide them into three units to conduct guerrilla warfare in the usual way of the Khitans.

But he just made a move to attack, but in fact he watched Li Shuangxi and others go away.

After Li Zicheng's 20,000 troops left, Xiao Alin returned to the battlefield near Shimen Village. At this time, under the attack of the four tribes of Kake Duli, Dai Qing, Ji Jiajie, and Fei Yang, Yuan Zongdi and Li Guo's defeated completely came out. Yuan Zongzi, who had originally created a chance to retreat for Li Guo's tribe without hesitation, also stayed, and the breath he was holding back suddenly relieved.

Their strength is not as far as the Hanhai Army, let alone relaxing?

Therefore, Yuan Zongdi was defeated. Not only that, most of his troops were desperately moving towards Li Guo's troops in the back formation!

The Li Guo tribe was also a little shaky under the side attacks of Dai Qing tribe and Kake Duli tribes. As soon as Yuan Zongdi leaned over, he immediately took them back.

At this time, Xin Sixiao had already crossed the river from the upper reaches of the Shihe River to the west bank. He did not see Li Zicheng's big banner, but saw Li Guo, the second part of Yuan Zong, crossing the Shimen City Village like a tide and retreating northward!

Xin Sixiao was stunned now.

In the original history, he had been following his elder brother Xin Sizhong and rarely had the opportunity to lead troops alone to fight. In his eyes, the front camp and the left camp were the emperor's direct line, and his elder brother's right camp was just a coincidence and luckily became the upper third camp. If it weren't for the great contributions made by Yang Tingyu and Yue Zhenbang, with Xin Sizhong's ability, he would probably still be a general in Lanzhou now, and he would have unlikely to have the chance to join the Zhongquan personal army.

Even Li Guo and Yuan Zong lost the second part, and he definitely had no chance of these five thousand cavalrymen, but he still saw a gap, a gap leaning against the ancestral mountain.

He did not see the emperor's big flag. With the strength of the 20,000 elite soldiers around him, it is unlikely that he was defeated by the enemy, so there is only one possibility.

Have broken through the south!

With a gritted teeth, he led the five thousand cavalry to run southwest along the western foot of the Zushan Mountain.

Near the Kuchuk camp, Li Laiheng led three thousand cavalry to attack once, and then returned home under the attack of fierce artillery. Seeing this, Gu Kecheng simply did not attack the camp. He divided three thousand cavalry and asked Wu Ruyi to lead him and let him and Li Laiheng go around the camp and look for fighter planes from the east of the camp along Shihebei from the east of the camp.

He took the remaining five thousand cavalry around the camp, headed north from the west side of the camp, and prepared to attack and advance. If he found the emperor's big flag, he would be better. If he couldn't find it, he should move closer to Li Guo's troops.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Zicheng and Li Shuangxi had retreated safely from the western foot of Zushan Mountain. Xiao Alin, who had been monitoring these two parts, was withdrawing from there.

When Xiao Alin saw another enemy army coming from the south, he did not let this one go. Without saying a word, he led the cavalry in the headquarters to meet him!

After seeing the Dashun Army heading north from the east side of his camp, Kuchuk, who had been thinking fiercely, finally left the camp.

You cannot let the enemy appear behind your own brigade.

However, what he was going to face was Wu Ruyi and Li Laiheng’s two cavalrymen, and at least six thousand cavalry!

The enemy's troops were more than twice that of his own, so Kuchuck divided his cavalry brigade into two. A thousand flying dragon cavalry rushed towards Li Laiheng under the leadership of Zhang Kefan, who had recently joined the Hanhai Army, while he rushed towards Wu Ruyi with the remaining two thousand tiger cavalry.

A new war broke out near the camp.

...

Time flies very quickly, the battle begins in the morning, and an hour has passed. At this time, Chukdan, who has come from a different stone pass, finally arrived at the place where Wu Yinglong set up a camp beside the stone river and crossed the stone river from there.

With the addition of Chuckdan's six thousand cavalry, Li Guo and Yuan Zong's defeat in the second division became even more obvious, but at this time Liu Tichun also came around from the upper reaches of the Shihe River. Even so, they could not stop losing to the north.

When it was almost noon, Xiao Alin defeated Gu Kecheng's troops without any accident and killed Gu Kecheng, and the rest of the troops surrendered!

Kuchuk's 1,000 flying dragon cavalry quickly defeated Li Laiheng's troops, and the two thousand tiger cavalry were comparable to Wu Ruyi's 5,000 cavalry, but with the addition of the flying dragon cavalry, Wu Ruyi could no longer resist it.

With the addition of Zhuketu's three thousand cavalry, Wu Ruyi was defeated. He was hit by a lead bullet and fell off the horse and died. The rest of his troops also dismounted and surrendered!
Chapter completed!
