At this critical moment, Li Zicheng, Li Shuangxi, Dang Shousu and more than a hundred guards rushed in like lightning. The officers and soldiers were invincible and rescued the fallen Liu Fangliang from the rebel army.
Everyone's morale was greatly boosted when they saw Li Zicheng personally killing the enemy. They all burst into majestic cheers and shouts of killing, which frightened the enemy. In an instant, Li Shuangxi led a dozen soldiers to the vicinity of He Renlong.
He Renlong's flag officer was chopped to death with a single sword. If He Renlong's servants had not resisted desperately, even He Renlong would have been handed over to Li Shuangxi's hands.
After He Renlong cursed "Fuck you" angrily and saw that Fu Zonglong's infantry had not arrived, he could only grit his teeth with hatred and lead his troops to withdraw from the battlefield. Luo Rucai followed and pursued for a while, and Li Laiheng also used his longer range to
The distant Hongyi artillery fired several waves, killing many Qin army cavalry, and then the battle stopped.
Li Zicheng lifted up the fallen Liu Fangliang, and looked at the rear troops who were in disarray after being beaten by He Renlong's fierce charge. Tian Jianxiu was even more dissatisfied with this situation. He repeatedly persuaded Li Zicheng, saying that the soldiers
Their physical strength has reached the limit. If they don't rest, even if they survive He Renlong's fierce attack now, they will not be able to survive the fierce pursuit and attack of Fu Zonglong's tens of thousands of troops later.
"If we don't let our brothers rest, we will be doomed!"
Many soldiers were also deeply puzzled by the rebels' running tactics. Many people knew that this was a "bad idea" proposed by Li Laiheng. In addition, Li Laiheng had previously used artillery to bombard the rear troops without distinguishing between friend and foe.
This caused many people to focus their dissatisfaction on Li Laiheng alone.
The soldiers who did not want to run around anymore shouted loudly, "You are running to kill me, Li Laiheng, and you want to kill me, Tian Jianxiu." Many of them even sat down on the ground, refusing to get up again and forcefully march.
Li Laiheng's face was gloomy. He had already rushed to Biyang. How many steps were there from Tongbai Mountain, Huguang, and Chengtian Mansion? When they were about to reach the end of the battle, the soldiers showed such serious war-weariness!
The situation was more serious than Li Laiheng thought. Not only were the soldiers in the rear team tired and dissatisfied, but even among Li Zicheng's pro-army troops, Dang Shousu and a group of soldiers opposed the tactic of continuing to run.
Many people think that they have already reached the side of Xinyang, so they can go around and flank Xinyang. After defeating Zuo Liangyu, isn't it okay to go back and fight Fu Zonglong again?
Why continue to Huguang and take so many unnecessary journeys!
The dissatisfaction of the soldiers was directed at Li Laiheng. A group of guards under Dang Shousu even rushed directly to the squadron to surround Li Laiheng. Zhang Pili led a group of soldiers to dismount and surrounded the city with a human wall.
Only then did I fend off these troublemaking personalities.
Li Laiheng gritted his teeth, but he knew that nothing he said was appropriate now, and he could only attract more dissatisfaction to himself.
At this time we can only see how Li Zicheng chooses!
Li Zicheng's face became even more serious. He and Luo Rucai dispersed the troublemaking soldiers together and shouted: "Are you going to cause trouble? What time is it now! Fu Zonglong's tens of thousands of troops are right on our butt, is it time for you to make trouble?"
If you don’t want to leave, just stay here by yourself, and if you dare to cause trouble..."
With a swipe sound, Li Zicheng pulled out his sword and roared: "It's my decision to attack Chengtian Mansion. Those who don't want to leave can stay, but whoever wants to block the way of the army, I will chop him down here."
head!"
Li Zicheng was always gentle in the army and rarely showed such an angry and fierce look. On Cao Ying's side, Luo Rucai had already made up his mind to support Li Laiheng. He asked Luo Yanqing to lead a group of cavalry to rush over to protect Li Laiheng.
Luo Yanqing galloped into the battle, rushed to Li Laiheng, dismounted and stood in front of him, saying in a low voice: "Who dares to touch you, let him kill me first."
Li Laiheng's heart warmed slightly, and his gloomy expression improved a bit. He pushed away the crowd, stood in front of the soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "You can win a battle with your legs, but you have to fight with your head?
Fu Zonglong and He Renlong have nearly 40,000 people, and Zuo Liangyu still has 10,000 people, can they get there with all their strength?"
Tian Jianxiu saw that Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai both expressed support for Li Laiheng and stopped talking after the soldiers were not allowed to cause trouble. Dang Shousze looked left and right, and seeing that Li Shuangxi had not stood up to say anything, he lowered his head and stepped back.
After a few steps, I stood in the crowd.
Fortunately, after He Renlong withdrew from the battlefield, although the main force of Fu Zonglong's infantry had arrived near Biyang, he saw that He Zhen was so brave and suffered a lot of damage, so he did not dare to attack immediately, and planned to let the troops rest for a while.
Have a decisive battle.
In such a short period of time, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai successfully resolved the dissatisfaction of the troops, suppressed many people's opinions on Li Laiheng, barely restored the discipline of the Chuang Cao coalition, and hurriedly led the army to quickly leave the battlefield, Fei Ye
As if rushing into Tongbai Mountain.
Fu Zonglong missed the last good opportunity to intercept the Chuang Cao coalition forces. It was not until he received the news that the rebels had passed through Tongbai Mountain and attacked Chushan Town and Hehedian that he suddenly realized: "The rogue bandits are going to attack Chengtian Mansion!"
How could the panicked Fu Zonglong not know what would happen to him once Chengtian Mansion was lost? When Fengyang was conquered by Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, how many people lost their heads and heads!
Once Chengtian is lost, the situation will be as severe as when Fengyang was breached!
For the sake of his own life, Fu Zonglong finally no longer dared to adopt conservative tactics. He asked the fastest He Renlong to abandon all baggage and artillery, and bite the tail of the Cao Cao coalition at all costs. He led Niu Chenghu
, Chen Yongfu, Hu Dawei, and Gao Qian's troops first detoured from Zaoyang to Dahong Mountain, and they must rush to the Dahong Mountain area of Chengtian Mansion to fortify themselves before the rebels at all costs.
After the Chuang Cao coalition forces were advancing furiously, they broke through Chushan Town and quickly passed through Tongbai Mountain. When they saw that Suizhou was in sight and only one Great Hongshan Mountain was away from Chengtian Mansion, Li Zicheng made a decisive decision to transfer the baggage, artillery, and the injured and weak to the old and weak.
All retreated into the mountains.
While Fu Zonglong was rushing towards Chengtian Mansion, the Chuang Cao coalition was also preparing to fight back to Henan!
"Generalissimo!"
Before Li Zicheng ordered the entire army to return to Henan, Li Laiheng persuaded: "He Renlong has been biting us. Now that the entire army is returning to Henan, He Renlong will definitely see through our movements and plans... We must leave an army behind."
The troops pretended to be the main force and attracted He Renlong!"
"In this way, the coalition forces can sneak for hundreds of miles, fight all the way back to Henan, and then show traces. Fu Zonglong is so shocked that he can only rush back to Henan at all costs, while the rebels can calmly deploy an ambush and annihilate him in one fell swoop!"
Li Laiheng elaborated on all the reasons for leaving the rear army to lure He Renlong, and looked at Li Zicheng, waiting for him to make a decision.
Li Zicheng lowered his eyelids and asked softly: "The rear army is left alone in Huguang and is in danger of being annihilated. Who will take on this task? The Three Walls Cavalry under Chang Gong (Liu Fangliang's pseudonym Chang Gong) is the most suitable, but
After that, we went to Henan to set up an ambush for a decisive battle. We most need the Three Walls Cavalry to participate in the battle, and we cannot leave him behind."
Li Laiheng took a deep breath and replied: "The coalition forces left all the baggage and artillery behind and sneaked back to Henan. What the former Biao Army is best at is artillery. Since all the artillery is left behind, let the former Biao Army stay in Huguang!"
Li Zicheng looked at Li Laiheng with a look that seemed to contain many meanings. After a while, Chuang Wang suddenly laughed heartily: "Okay, okay! I'll leave it to you, I'll leave it to you..."
"Li Laiheng! You lead the front-line troops to stay and contain He Renlong. Once the officers and soldiers discover the movement of the main force and fight back to Henan, you can try to join our main force from Tongbai Mountain, Dabie Mountain, etc.!"
After Li Laiheng agreed, he asked again: "What if there is no time to meet up?"
Li Zicheng lowered his head, hugged Li Laiheng's shoulders and said: "The former Biaojun will stay in Huguang and act in the name of Fengtian Advocating Yiying Jiedu!"

Li Laiheng will first use Suizhou at the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain as a base to establish a government and form his own army. The story will also progress to the time of confrontation with the Qing army.
