In Prince Rui's mansion in Beijing, there was a constant stream of people and gods. Dorgon had been addicted to wine and sex for a long time, and had reached the point where the oil was exhausted.

At a young age, like his younger brother Duoduo, he was surprisingly lustful and uncontrollable. Especially after entering the pass, Dorgon, who was proud and satisfied, was even more indulgent in his voice.

Hai Dongqing, who was fierce among the white mountains and black waters, is now like a sick chicken. His black eyes and thin body all indicate that this incredibly lucky uncle, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, has reached the last journey of his life.

On the big yellow rosewood bed with golden silk curtains, Dorgon struggled to sit up, Xiaozhuang and Fulin on both sides looked complicated.

Dorgon looked around and felt a little regretful in his heart. The flower world after entering the pass completely wiped out his fighting spirit and turned him into the appearance of the Zhu Mingfan king whom he looked down upon the most.

Dorgon coughed, and the maids around him quickly caught it with a white towel and secretly hid the blood-stained veil in his sleeve.

"Where has Lee Haoxian from the Fire Camp hit?"

The important officials around him were silent and no one dared to speak, for fear that Dorgon would die directly after he was in a bad spirit, and then he would be in trouble.

When Dorgon saw that no one was talking to him, he became even more angry and beat the bed and asked, "Speak! Where did Li Haoxian beat him?"

Xiaozhuang glanced at him and said softly: "It's time to Hejian. Prince Su and Prince Ying have already brought their troops there. You should take good care of your health."

Dorgon sneered and said, "Brother Hao and Ajige have already arrived at Daming Mansion, but Li Haoxian still fought to Hejian. It would be better to retreat outside the pass as soon as possible when he pointed at them."

When most of the people present were greeted by the four words of retreating outside the pass, they were all shining. They were not idiots, and they had long seen clearly that they were not opponents of the Northern Expedition Army. Although the flower world in the Central Plains made them linger, these people have not yet had the illusion of becoming robbers and masters.

In their opinion, even if they exited the barrier this time, it was not a failure. Instead, an extremely successful entry into the barrier and robbery was hundreds of times greater than any previous gain. If they were willing, they could carry countless property, slaves, and beauties... back outside the barrier.

Dorgon suddenly became furious and stood up by himself and scolded, "Li Haoxian, the southern thief, is the second thief behind Hou Xuan. He has forced us to retreat to the pass several times. This time I will go on the battle myself and see how many heads and arms he has."

At this time, the Qing court was surprisingly united. When they heard this, they knelt down. They asked Dorgon to think twice. His body was placed here, and it was hard to say whether he could arrive on the battlefield alive when he was in charge.

Dorgon did not say anything and insisted on going to war. He knew that he had not had much time, but he did not want to die in a cowardly manner on the bed.

Dorgon had quite a lot of troops and his chances of winning were not low. This time he came only with a fire camp of the Eastern Army. The Qing court was not very scared. The reason why he almost fled outside the pass was because the Central Army and the Eastern Army advanced side by side. This time, Wu Sangui dug the Yellow River and blocked the 230,000 troops of the Northern Expedition Central Army in Xuzhou was an opportunity for the Qing Dynasty.

What they fear most was that Lee Ho-hyun stopped, just as Hou Xuanyan arranged, waiting for the middle army to enter the Gyeonggi together.

However, Li Haoxian issued a military order and vowed to ask for battle, which shook Hou Xuanyan's determination to take every step of the way and allowed him to march alone.

The whole world hopes that the invincible fire camp can defeat the surviving Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop. Even the hard-core traitors such as Wu Sangui are ready to escape into Shu and take advantage of the danger of Shu Road to establish themselves.

In September, Dorgon took charge of the two white flags and the 300,000 cannon fodders of Han slave soldiers who were forbidden to go to Hejian to fight Li Haoxian.

----

Under the city of Xiangyang, the full-prepared Zhongzhen Camp finally began to attack the city. Hou Xuanyan mobilized all the artillery in Huguang, with a total of more than 300 gates, and blasted towards Xiangyang City for a day.

Countless shells poured on the city wall, and Du Yinxi and other generals from Zhongzhen Camp watched from a distance, feeling heartbroken.

The Xiangyang city wall was repaired and reinforced by them personally. Every brick helped them resist the fierce attacks of the four feudal families. If the traitor had not opened the city gate, they would have the confidence to keep saying that Xiangyang would be defended.

Hou Xuanyan didn't care at all. This time, if he broke Xiangyang, he would no longer have to defend. The full-scale counterattack had been launched for a long time. In the original plan, he could steadily attack Beijing at the end of the year. If it weren't for the destruction of the Yellow River and the use of water as soldiers, Henan would have been surrounded by them in a bowl-shaped encirclement, and the three-sided siege would have been taken down.

From early morning to dusk, amid the cheers of Zhongzhen Camp, a city wall at the south gate of Xiangyang collapsed.

Hou Xuanyan was overjoyed and ordered all artillery to aim at the gap and explode a larger gap.

The bright moon rose, and Hou Xuanyan gave an order, and the soldiers of the Zhongzhen Camp began to charge.

Kong Youde in the city drew his sword and shouted loudly. The gate of Xiangyang slowly opened, and cavalry from Liaodong flocked out of the city.

Hou Xuanyan's siege of the city exceeded Kong Youde's imagination. In his opinion, the Hunan Barracks were trapped in Xuzhou and Zhongzhen Camp surrendered to him half of it. He was definitely at ease in Xiangyang.

Who knew that Hou Xuanyan came, who had the energy to mobilize the power of the whole province to attack Xiangyang together.

Kong Youde's temper was completely beaten out. The moment the city wall collapsed, he rectified his elite cavalry and opened the city gate to take the initiative.

Because of the surrender of Tian Jianxiu and others, he knew the situation of the Zhongzhen Camp. Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi agreed that even if Hou Xuanyan came to Jingxiang, he would not send troops to attack Xiangyang.

At Hou Xuanyan's order, the central army waved, and the sound of horns sounded from various places. The Zhongzhen Camp faced the enemy cavalry and moved forward bravely, and a fierce battle began in the outskirts of Xiangyang.

The sky gradually darkened, and the fires were everywhere on the battlefield, and the dark night was shining like day. After the close forces, both sides were red in their eyes. Kong Youde had a big sword and shuttled back and forth in the battle formation. This guy was indeed a bit brave, no wonder he was taken by Mao Wenlong at first glance.

Yuan Zongdi, a powerful general in the Zhongzhen Camp, stepped forward and slashed Kong Youde's protective soldiers' heads with one sword. Kong Youde was a prince named by the Qing court, but his spirit of advocating force was even more serious than that of the Qing Dynasty. He laughed and fought with Yuan Zongdi into a bunch.

Hou Xuanyan stood in the observation car to command, and saw that although he had an advantage, this advantage did not support him to be able to withstand the problem of small troops and conquer Xiangyang, a strong city that resisted the Mongolian and Yuan army for decades during its heyday.
