Chapter 364
Huang Taiji and Dorgon took two yellow flags and two white flags and bypassed the Jinzhou defense line. They bypassed the Great Wall and actually followed Mongolia to Guanzhong.
Guanzhong was already ravaged by the rebels, but this time it was even more ruined. The Tatar soldiers fought in Guanzhong, and the rebel leader Zhang Xianzhong actually joined forces with the Tatars. They stormed Tongguan eastward and threatened the security of the capital from the west.
Upon hearing the news, Li Xiao's head buzzed.
What Xuanfu! What Datong! Huailai! They are all fake. Huang Taiji had hooked up with Zhang Xianzhong a long time ago. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would not have been able to break through the Great Wall defense line so quickly. Hundreds of thousands of rioters, plus tens of thousands passing by him
Baptism of firearms. Mix in the mix with the Tatars, who have made great strides in firearms with the help of the Dutch. That's a fucking disaster!
"No news about Li Yongfang's return?" Li Xiao asked in surprise.
"Don't think about it. If Li Yongfang could have sent out the news, he would have sent it out long ago. Ever since Huang Taiji ascended the throne and became Tiancong Khan, Li Yongfang has been marginalized. This dispatch of troops must be extremely secretive. And I can be sure that,
Huang Taiji had hooked up with Zhang Xianzhong a long time ago.
Without domestic ghosts, they cannot attract foreign thieves. The Tatars are now at the peak of their military strength, and it is only a matter of time to capture Guanzhong. What they are most afraid of now is that they will fight from Guanzhong to the capital. As long as they conquer Tongguan, they can continue to attack Datong to the east.
Juyongguan, and even directly attacked the capital."
"If the general of Datong continues to collude with the Tatars, Juyongguan will be poked open like a soft-shelled egg. The capital will be like a lamb to be slaughtered, exposed under the iron hoof of the Tatars." Zhang Huangyan said sadly.
"The one who guards Datong is Hong Chengchou!" Li Xiao muttered to himself. When he thought of Hong Chengchou, Li Xiao felt uncertain. After all, this guy was a famous second- and fifth-level boy in history.
"Hong Chengchou is deeply favored by the emperor, it should...not be possible!" Sun Chuanting looked at Li Xiao with some doubts. After all, Hong Chengchou was also a feudal official on the hunting side. He should not surrender to Huang Taiji so easily!
"If something goes wrong with Hong Chengchou, then Datong will be defeated without attacking. If I lead this army, I will not attack Xuanfu stupidly. Instead, I will bypass Xuanfu and go directly to Zijingguan to break through the outer defense line of the capital.
"Sun Chengzong walked to the sand table as usual.
"Master Ao's retreat will be cut off!" Li Xiao's head buzzed.
Although Ao Canghai's First Division looks impressive, it actually only has more than 5,000 people. And many of them are new recruits, and a large number of backbones have been transferred. They are either promoted to the Third Division as officers, or they go to the Army Officer School.
teacher.
They had to face hundreds of thousands of peasant troops, as well as fierce Tatar soldiers holding firearms.
If Huang Taiji wanted to kill Ao Canghai, he would be killed even if he was wasted.
Ao Changhai's only chance is to abandon Xuanfu and quickly retreat through the Inner Great Wall. If his side sends troops to respond, it shouldn't be a problem to return to Shandong.
But with Mr. Ao’s character, would he abandon the Xuanfu? Abandoning the position without permission is a capital crime!
Li Xiao's eyelids twitched: "Quickly, send a flying pigeon message to Master Ao, asking him to return to Shandong quickly."
"We haven't sent a letter to the flying pigeon of Xuan Mansion, so we can send a fast horse there. It will take five or six days at the fastest!" Sun Chuanting said helplessly.
Five or six days...! I can only hope that Tongguan can stay for two more days.
"Send a quick horse over and tell Mr. Ao not to worry about anything. Pull back! Pull back!" Li Xiao muttered absentmindedly.

"Hahaha! Zhang Xianzhong, you are indeed a capable person. I didn't expect you to have so many troops." Outside Tongguan, Huang Taiji looked at Zhang Xianzhong with a smile.
Behind Zhang Xianzhong was an endless crowd of people. I guess Zhang Xianzhong himself didn’t know how many people he had at this time. These people supported the old and young, and wore clothes with patches piled on top of each other. Many children were wearing large clothes.
Some people even wear women's clothes. The weather is getting colder. If you can wear one more piece, who cares what you are wearing.
"The army of the Great Khan is truly strong. I, Zhang Xianzhong, am willing to serve under the Great Khan and serve the Great Khan." Zhang Xianzhong kept his stature very low, especially when Dorgon just took him to visit
After the Eight Banners Powerful Team.
Zhang Xianzhong understood that if his men really fought against the Tatar soldiers, it would be like a group of sheep attacking a group of wolves. Although the number of sheep would be at an absolute advantage, wolves are wolves, and in the end all the sheep would be killed.
I can't kill a few wolves.
Just follow the Tatars! In this shitty world, if you can't even survive, it doesn't matter who the fuck is the boss. As long as you can feed everyone, then the fuck is the boss... In Zhang Xianzhong's eyes
, having breasts is a mother is of great practical significance.
"Okay! This city of Xi'an is indeed a good place. It is much more luxurious than Shenyang." Looking at the majestic Xi'an city wall, Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction. It is worthy of being the ancient capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties. It is indeed the king of the Han Dynasty.
gas.
"Due to the persecution of the Jin and Song Dynasties, the Liao Kingdom had no choice but to establish the Western Liao Empire in the west. Guo Zuo was almost two hundred years old. If my Aixinjueluo family could enjoy Guo Zuo for so long, the world of the Han people would have been
It's ours." Dorgon also looked at the city of Xi'an. During this time, he was with Fan Wencheng every day. He had learned a lot about the history of the Han people.
"I, Huang Taiji, definitely want Xi'an, but Ben Khan likes the capital city more. That is where the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty lies. As long as the capital city is conquered, Liaodong's retreat can be cut off. I want to see it, we fight in the opposite direction.
What will happen to Shanhaiguan?" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth. The Guan Ning Jin line of defense has troubled him for so many years and has been blocking his way forward. Now I go around you and poke you in the back, but I want to see how you look like this.
How strong is the Guan Ning Jin defense line?
"The Great Khan is indeed ambitious and far-reaching, and my younger brother is beyond his reach. My younger brother is willing to command troops and attack Tongguan to open up a road to the east."
"Dorgon, our soldiers here are not familiar with the terrain at all. It would be better for Leader Zhang's men to complete the attack on Tongguan." Huang Taiji glanced at Dorgon and then turned to Zhang Xianzhong.
"I will definitely capture Tongguan!" He blessed all the women in Huang Taiji's family in his heart, but Zhang Xianzhong still bowed and saluted Huang Taiji.
"Okay! Dorgon, you lead the artillery team to support Leader Zhang. We must capture Tongguan within tomorrow!"
