When he came back this time, he had no choice but to fill the belly of the soldiers under his command, he had to rely on robbery! So the road he passed by was almost ashamed and miserable as it was!

Just when Li Zicheng was defeated and led his army to retreat, Liu Pei's troops had already arrived at the capital!

The cavalry opened the road in front along the way, followed by infantry using large rubber wheel chariots. This time Liu Pei's action was a prominent word for fast! He had to occupy the capital before Li Zicheng returned to the capital.

When the cavalry opened the road in front, they surrounded the city once they encountered it, so that they would not have the opportunity to send messages to the outside world. Then they sent people into the city to keep the people guarding the city quiet and help stabilize the city.

Since some of Hebei Province is under the control of Liu Pei, Li Zi became too stimulating Liu Pei. In addition, he was busy working in the capital, so he did not develop too much to the south. Therefore, there are still many areas in southern Hebei Province under the control of Ming officials.

These officials cooperated with Liu Pei's army very much! As long as Liu Pei's military flag goes, they will immediately open the door and accept surrender. They will actively raise materials, supplies, grass and civilians, and try to leave a good impression in front of Liu Pei.

After passing the Qingxian front line, it will be the actual control area of ​​the Dashun regime. There is also a way to deal with these actual control areas!

Don’t forget the spies who covered Liu Pei’s withdrawal from the capital. Did he control a considerable number of people? Under their cover, the Dashun Army in southern Hebei were either surrounded or encircled, and all put down their weapons and surrendered! To this day, these spies can finally take off the Dashun Army’s uniform and put on their own uniforms!

For example, in a certain team, among the brothers who had been sworn, the boss suddenly called the second boss and the third boss to drink, and he made it clear at the banquet! The second boss and the third boss were frightened by the swordsman outside the tent and had to nod and agree to surrender to Liu Pei!

There was also a soldier from Dashun Army who was led by the Sandang family to go to a nearby village to eat wild food. As a result, they were surrounded by a team of cavalry as soon as they entered the village! After a short battle, the Sandang family carried the Dashun Army's head and tied the Second Head to appear in front of the formation, hugging the enemy with the warm hug!

Such examples are everywhere! Directly in Liu Pei

A road to the capital was paved with a great road to heaven!

Liu Pei has been planning this attack for more than ten years, and it can be said that he has taken into account all aspects! With detailed plans and super strong execution capabilities, only a small number of people escaped! He successfully covered the brigade of troops and approached the capital!

Those who escaped were also intercepted and killed on the way to the capital! The elites of the Intelligence Bureau were attacking! They had long disguised themselves as various people on the road, set up nets of heaven and earth, and waited for the senders to take the bait! The news of Liu Pei's troops sent to the capital did not reach the capital at all.

So when Liu Pei's cavalry appeared outside the capital in the early morning, he caught Dashun Army off guard! The defenders outside the city were almost strangled, and only a small number of people escaped.

Most of the escaped people entered the capital city, but those who fled towards Shanhaiguan would be shot and chased. Even if a small number of people who were not searched wanted to walk to inform the news, it would be too late!

The Dashun soldiers gathered together in a hurry first guarded the city gate, but then they quarreled very hard! The main difference was whether to send someone to break through and report the news! In the end, they decided to break through!

Since Li Zicheng took away most of the cavalry when he left the journey, there were not many cavalry in the capital. The leader of the Dashun Army, who was in charge of guarding, directly clicked all the cavalry and cooperated with a group of infantry to rush out to report to Li Zicheng.

But they just left the city gate and met the Liu Pei cavalry who was waiting for the battle. These differences have been practiced for a long time, and on weekdays, they can only practice horse bandits, but the result is that there are more wolves and fewer meats, and there are only a few who can defend and fight! Today, there is finally a cavalry that can fight with them, which has already made the young men laugh!

The two sides formed a formation to fight. Liu Pei's cavalry first rushed to the contact between the Dashun Army's cavalry and father, and then surrounded the infantry and killed fiercely!

Instead of rushing to the battlefield, they took advantage of the small number of archers in the Dashun Army and the low level, and with their mobility, they surrounded them and fired with their short guns!

The cavalrymen rushed from different directions like wolves, quickly shot back and loaded ammunition, and then chose a new direction to rush up and shoot!

After paying a slight price, they defeated the infantry of the Dashun Army! They fled back to the capital after more than 2,000 people were killed or injured!

As for those cavalry, they did not run away! The eight thousand Dashun Army cavalry faced the six thousand breastplate cavalry and fell in front of the fence as soon as they met!

After less than an hour of battle, the Dashun Army lost more than 5,000 people, and the rest were driven back to the capital by the cavalry roaming around! The losses of the breastplate cavalry were minimal, with only more than 700 people!

In this way, a breakthrough battle ended! The breastplate cavalry successfully surrounded the entire capital! Even Tongzhou was surrounded! Maybe someone would run out, but the cavalry were sure that no one would ride out! As for those who ran to report the news with their legs, I can only wish them good luck!

When the defenders in the city saw the tragic situation of their retreating companions, they also extinguished their minds of breaking through and prepared to guard the city and continue to wait for Li Zicheng's army to return!

In the evening, Liu Pei's army finally arrived outside the capital, but they had no choice but to guard the city gate.

In order to defend the city, these Dashun Army soldiers began to force the supplies in the city! For a moment, they made the capital a mess! But all the resistance was suppressed by the Dashun Army.

But what these Dashun Army didn't know was that the capital seemed very calm on the surface, but there was already a surging tide inside. I wonder how many people were conspiring in private?

Liu Pei rushed to the city and jumped down from the horse to move his body. He called the staff to inquire about the situation of each department. The city gate told him that the entire capital was now replaced by infantrymen and cavalrymen to replace defenses! Even Tongzhou was surrounded by infantry! It is estimated that by the time the lights were held, all the defense lines could be completely stabilized.

Liu Pei immediately set up a tent and started to preside over the work. As soon as the tent was put up, the roar like a flowing water kept summing up the information from all over the place.

Sure enough, when it was just dark, all the troops had completed the defense change. The entire capital was surrounded by iron barrels, and even mice could not escape!
Chapter completed!
