    ,

    Yicheng, captured by the Datong Army, was easily recaptured by Liu Fangliang, because there were no defenders in the city, not even officials and peasants.

    However, there are 3,000 farmers and soldiers stationed in Quwo to the west of Yicheng.

    Liu Fangliang camped on the outskirts of Yicheng, waiting for more troops to gather on the spot.  Hongdong County in the north was also recaptured by the Dashun Army, but was stuck in Linfen by the Datong Army and could not go south.

    Yicheng.

    Xie Yinglong went to find Tian Hu in the tent: "Uncle (Count), the situation is not good."

    "Oh, I know, the morale of the army is floating." Tian Hu was helpless.  .

    Ren Guangrong, Ren Jirong, Tian Hu, and Xie Yinglong, the four of them joined Li Zicheng at the beginning, and all of them were from the military of the Ming Dynasty.

    Now, the Ren family brothers have run away, and Tian Hu and Xie Yinglong are in an embarrassing situation.

    Although Liu Fangliang kept expressing his trust, he was faintly guarded.  After recapturing Yicheng, all the troops sent to defend the city were Liu Fangliang's confidantes, while Tian Hu and Xie Yinglong were forbidden to enter the city.

    Of course, Liu Fangliang was afraid that if he went too far, he would force Tian Hu and Xie Yinglong back, so he personally led troops to station outside the city.

    The reason is that the people cannot be disturbed. Yicheng is too small, and too many troops entering will easily cause chaos.

    Liu Fangliang's vigilance is really normal, because Tian and Xie's troops not only have a lot of people from Henan, but also many people from the Ming Dynasty's army.  When the soldiers learned that the brothers of the Ren family had led the troops back to their hometown, they had already discussed a lot, hoping that their own general would also return to Henan.

    Xie Yinglong said in a low voice: "Now that we are guarded, how can we fight? Brother Tian, ??you are also a man who knows how to fight. Do you think you can win battles now?"

    Tian Hu muttered: "Your Majesty treats us well, so don't have any thoughts. As for the soldiers of the battalions, just be patient and comfort them."

    Xie Yinglong sneered.

    Indeed, Ren Jirong, who led the troops to run away, and Tian Hu in front of him, were both named General Guo Yi, and both got an earl.

    But what about Xie Yinglong?

    It's just a miscellaneous general, and the mere baron will be dismissed.

    This made Xie Yinglong extremely dissatisfied. The Ren family brothers and Tian Hu were just junior officers of Ming Dynasty.  But Xie Yinglong was born as a general's personal soldier, and the firearms troops under his command are extremely powerful.

    Xie Yinglong and Tian Hu, together with the firearm battalion, brought many firecrackers and cannons together, and offered the city to join Li Zicheng in an uprising.

    Why did Tian Hu quickly ascend to the position, but he himself became Tian Hu's subordinate?

    "Then I will go to appease the soldiers." Xie Yinglong said.

    Tian Hu said: "I will go in person."

    Liu Fangliang's barracks is in the north of the city, and Tian Hu and Xie Yinglong's barracks are in the east of the city.

    Tian Hu took Xie Yinglong to comfort the soldiers in the camp.  It is nothing more than to say that when the Dashun Army conquers Henan, everyone will be able to return to their hometowns.

    It's useless, but it makes soldiers resist.

    ? Civil officials lack a sense of belonging to the Dashun court, but do low-level soldiers have it?

    ? Li Zicheng's army was the most vigorous when it first entered Beijing, but it plummeted after being defeated by the Manchus.  Their thinking was simple, the Tartars defeated the Dashun Army, and the Datong Army defeated the Tartars, so the Datong Army must be stronger, and Emperor Zhao occupied a larger territory.

    Since you can't fight, why do you still have to fight to die?

    After inspecting the barracks and comforting him, Tian Hu went back to his tent to rest.

    However, Xie Yinglong called several officers: "I tried it out, General Tian doesn't want to go back to Henan, he is thinking of the kindness of Emperor Dashun."

    "Hehe, Li Zicheng has kindness to him, but he is ungrateful to us." The person who spoke was Wang Chengzhong, and like Xie Yinglong, he was a soldier of the Ming general Luo Dai.

    Xie Zhun, another Henan military officer, said: "Uncle Tian didn't want to leave because he was greedy for his title. We don't have any titles, so what are we doing here?  Very powerful. Li Zicheng can't even beat the Tartars, but he can still kill Emperor Zhao and sit in the world?"

    After some discussion, Xie Yinglong said: "Each go back and gather troops quietly. Let's go tonight, light the fire and fire the cannons as a signal, and run to the southwest together after disturbing the barracks!"

    midnight.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Without any warning, the artillery battalion rang out, and then the battalions ignited fires one after another, and the tents of the camps suddenly burst into flames.

    Tian Hu woke up suddenly: "Where is the cannon?"

    "I don't know." The soldier hurriedly said.

    Tian Hu walked quickly outside the tent, and found that there were fires in every battalion, and the shouts of soldiers were everywhere.

    Tian Hu shouted: "The enemy army attacked the camp, gather troops quickly!"

    &nbsp??

    Both Liu Fangliang and Li Guo went to Tongguan to fight, but they both had troubles.

    Dashun court, the hearts of the people are scattered!

    Li Guo's head was a little down, he didn't know whether to go to Xi'an first, or go back to Hanzhong to put down the rebellion.

    The Battle of Tongguan decided the ownership of the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi.

    But if they don't return to Hanzhong, the Datong army in Sichuan will drive straight in from Hanzhong again.

    There really is a Datong army over there, only Huang Yao is left in Guizhou, Fei Yinggong leads troops northward, and is holding back the Dashun army in Hanzhong.

    After much deliberation, Li Guo decided to return to Hanzhong.

    However, just two days after he returned to the army, he received an urgent report again: the guards at Yangping Pass were attacked from the front and back, the guards surrendered collectively, and the Datong Army had entered Hanzhong.

    What should I do?  What to do?  What to do?

    Li Guo was distraught, and in a hurry, he fell ill in the army.

    Both Xi'an and Hanzhong were occupied by the Datong army, and their own general fell ill again, and the whole army suddenly became confused.

    Lieutenant General Gao Yigong couldn't hold back at all.

    Gao Yigong is Gao Yingxiang's son and Li Zicheng's cousin.  His ability to fight can only be regarded as mediocre, and he cannot bear the heavy burden of being ordered in a crisis.

    After that, there were deserters every day. After a few days, one-eighth of Li Guo's troops fled.

    All fools know that Shaanxi is definitely gone, and continuing to fight is not far from death.

    If it was the Tartars, they might still be united, but the Datong court was also Han Chinese, so why should they continue to work hard?

    Seeing this situation, Li Guo's general Zhang Neng led his troops to leave the camp overnight, and ran to Hanzhong to join the Datong army, taking one-third of the soldiers away.

    When the news spread, there were more deserters, and in a blink of an eye there were only two thousand people left, and the Dashun Army was gone for nothing.
