Chapter 17 The traitor is betrayed, and the city of Xiangyang is broken

Duoduo was very annoyed. It would be great if this messenger could have come early! Unfortunately, the messenger came late! If you come early, Duoduo could be wary of Li Yan and prevent Li Yan from successfully lifting the siege of Xiangyang. Now it is too late to say anything! I am so angry!

Duoduo couldn't help but kicked him hard a few times. Seeing that the personal soldiers around him really threw him out without hesitation, he was so angry that he could not help but feel angry.

Duoduo Fire is back, and he has no choice. He heard that Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo's troops have entered Chengdu. If he doesn't return to defense, Chengdu will be over!

Moreover, the situation on Xi'an is not optimistic! Just as he was about to leave, the envoy whispered a few more words in his ear, and Duoduo changed from surprise to joy.

He said happily: "Okay! Haha! Wait! When my brother comes, it will be the death of you guys! Hehe!"

The generals around Duoduo didn't understand what it was? Why did his master change suddenly? What the messenger just said was that there was something hidden?

Duoduo did not return to Chengdu. Although he pretended to be the whole army retreating quickly to Shu, he actually hid his army. He was waiting for Dorgon to arrive! At this time, Duoduo also heard the latest news. Zhang Biwu pretended to retreat, but sent an army to sneak attack and detour to break Chunhua County, and then threatened Tongzhou and Yaozhou. At this point, Tongzhou and Yaozhou were also lost.

The reason why Zhang Biwu succeeded was because the Qing army had previously believed that Xiangyang, which was occupied by Li Zicheng, was attacked, and the Dashun Army and Zhang Biwu could only retreat without preparation, and concentrated their troops mainly on Tongzhou. The troops in other places were empty, and they suffered a great loss.

This is the largest defense line in northern Xi'an. These two places collapsed, and then Xi'an will be exposed to the firepower of Zhang Biwu and Li Guo.

When Liu Zongmin heard Li Guo’s attack directly pointed at Xi’an, he stepped up his attack and wanted to capture Shangzhou. Shangzhou was quite difficult to defend and could not hesitate and would soon lose. At that time, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo could meet at the city of Xi’an, and Xi’an City could not be defended.

Duoduo's fist hit his palm with a "bang" and said, "Damn it! It's like this! If I were asked to attack, I would definitely keep Xi'an!"

"Haha! Yes! If my fifteenth brother attacked, Xi'an would be able to be saved!" The man spoke, a very familiar voice!

"Fourth Brother!" Duoduo turned around and saw that it was Dorgon. Dorgon appeared in front of him and said, "Dordo, I decided to give up Xi'an!"

"What! Give up Xi'an?" Dodo looked at Dorgon and guessed Dorgon's idea. Even if Li Zicheng was defeated, would he be able to give up Xi'an?

Dorgon smiled and said, "Yes! You have to have a capital for everything you do! Okay! Are your troops ready? My Bayala soldiers are eager to attack Xiangyang City! Now Li Zicheng saw that Li Guo and others had already attacked Xi'an City, and Shangzhou was about to be lost. Liu Zongmin's army can also join Li Guo and others in the city of Xi'an! His Xiangyang City must be unprepared!"

"And I didn't let you go back to Shu with great fanfare to protect Shu, but in fact I hid it and deceived Li Zicheng! Our Qing cavalry can quickly gather under the city of Xiangyang! Li Yan has returned to eastern Henan, and there are not many people from all over Xiangyang. Do you think you can break Xiangyang this time?"

Duoduo nodded and said, "Yes! It will definitely be able to attack Xiangyang!"

Dorgon continued, "Break Xiangyang and seize Li Zicheng. The Dashun army either surrendered to our Qing Dynasty or scattered with money! There is Zhang Biwu's only son Zhang Xiaoyao in Xiangyang City. You said that Zhang Biwu's many actions were also a jealous weapon! Without this precious son, Zhang Biwu would cut off the rear. Do you think Zhang Biwu could not be controlled? Li Zicheng's death will have a great impact and change on the overall situation!"

Duoduo stretched out his fist and shook it hard, saying, "Brother, I will always obey your orders! Do whatever you say! I will not have a complaint!"

Dorgon knew that Duoduo would be in the same mind as him. He said, "Our inner self should start to act!"

"Insider?" Duoduo smiled and understood. If there was no Insider, it would be not a good thing to break through Xiangyang City like before!

Yes! It is believed that Li Zhisheng is Geng Ranming. Li Zhisheng is a despicable villain. He withheld military pay and caused the city to be insured. Li Zicheng was able to destroy the city. In the end, he surrendered to Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng instead entrusts him to give him a generous salary. Li Zicheng's move was really a big mistake.

It’s really wrong to use people! Li Zhisheng is a mother who has milk, and he will serve whoever gives him benefits, so it’s not surprising that he will be in the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon used Li Zhisheng to use the breakthrough point. There was also a person named Li Zicheng's adviser Gu Junen.

When Li Zicheng was just defeated in the Qing Dynasty, Gu Junen had the action of abandoning Li Zicheng and leaving. Later, he could not leave and continued to stay with Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng was jealous of this, and Gu Junen's status in Dashun also plummeted. Even so, Gu Junen did not want to betray Li Zicheng and kill Li Zicheng, but he did not expect that he would harm Li Zicheng.

Even so, there is a way to make Gu Junen make a big mistake, because Gu Junen didn't expect Li Zhisheng and others to betray him.

Gu Junen and Yu Shangyou were together, and Yu Shangyou was watching two memorials he wrote to Chongzhen—"Memorial on Request for the First Request for Yu Shuo" and "Memorial on Military and Civilians' Two Ways".

"Oh!" Yu Shangyou sighed and said, "It's right and wrong!" Gu Junen smiled and said, "What? Are you still pessimistic? In fact, if Chongzhen could use people at the beginning, he would not have made such a big mistake! He was too smart. If he was smart, he would often lead to his own destruction!" Gu Junen was quite open-minded.

"Ah! You two don't know what they are talking about!" Li Zhisheng and Geng Ranming came in.

Gu Junen said, "Please sit down, two of you!" Li Zhisheng waved his hand and said, "No need! I still have urgent matters. I just want to ask Lord Gu Shangshu to give me a token so that I can send the deceased with Geng Ranming!"

Gu Junen thought it was extremely true. He was lost. Moreover, the Qing army has retired and everyone is an official in the same court. It is convenient for others to be with oneself! Thinking of this, Gu Junen gave the token to Li Zhisheng, but he didn't know that this would ruin Li Zicheng and Dashun**.

Li Zhisheng and Geng Ranming excitedly put the token in their arms, and then they ran away.

As time came, Li Zhisheng and Geng Ranming pretended to have someone to have a funeral, but these funerals were disguised by Bayala soldiers. In the past, when Li Zicheng attacked Taiyuan, Zhang Xiong, the garrison commander of Taiyuan Yingzemen who surrendered to Li Zicheng, ignited the gunpowder depot on the city tower, causing the majestic Taiyuan Yingzemen to be destroyed by the war.

Now that Zhang Xiong is still sent to guard the city gate, he is very dissatisfied with this! He surrendered to Li Zicheng for so many years, but has not been promoted and is still guarding the city gate! Then he will repeat the scene when Li Zicheng broke Taiyuan and sacrificed the city gate. He and Li Zhisheng colluded.

Zhang Xiong was a traitor, and most of the defenders were confused. Zhang Xiong led his direct descendants to join Bato and Jiang Fei's Bayala soldiers to quickly control the city gate.

Bato immediately sent a signal to the sky, and Dorgon was waiting for the signal to be sent outside the city.

"Signal!" With a finger from his own hand, Dorgon immediately handed the gun to his personal soldiers around him. With a wave of his hand, he immediately led his troops to fight. He also showed the banner of "Regent".

Suddenly, Xiangyang City was in chaos. Li Zicheng was still dreaming of Guan Yu in his palace, dreaming that he could re-enter the palace in Xi'an, and then the situation was getting better and better to him, and his national fortunes improved immediately. In the end, he would build a prosperous era comparable to that of Li Tang and would be completed.

Li Zicheng was very happy when he saw everything beautiful, and he was so happy that he was almost crazy. He also ordered people to prepare to return to Chang'an.

His dream was shattered! The shouts from outside came into his ears and shouted to kill.

Li Zicheng hurriedly drew his sword and unsheathed him. He shouted, "Come here! Come quickly!" He wanted to know what was going on outside and why there was a loud noise? Didn't the enemy retreat? Why did it attack again?

Ren Jirong came in quickly and shouted in panic: "Master, something is wrong! Please leave quickly! It will be too late!"

Bai Wang also came in with him and shouted anxiously: "Yes! The Qing soldiers are coming in!"

Li Zicheng looked at them and asked, "What's going on? Didn't the Qing army retreat? Didn't it retreat to Shu? Why did you come just by saying that? Moreover, Xi'an and Shu are both tight, and the Qing army is not flawed, so how could it attack me? No! This is impossible! And the city gate is closed, why did it open? Didn't the Qing army notice it when it arrived?"

Bai Wang replied: "Emperor, Li Zhisheng, Geng Ranming and Zhang Xiong have rebelled, and they opened the city gate! This time, it was not Duoduo, but Dorgon, the regent of the kings of the kings!"

"Ah!" Li Zicheng was surprised. As the regent, Dorgon rarely took action himself, and most of them appointed others. This time, when the Qing Dynasty was facing life and death, he personally led his troops to come. He was originally from Jiang Guan in Datong, but he did not arrive but came towards him, Li Zicheng!

Dorgon personally led his army, which shows how much Dorgon attached it! He was determined to win, and he had to take Li Zicheng's head!

Wu Ruyi, the general manager of the Central Army, came over and said, "Emperor, please leave Xiangjing quickly. As long as the emperor is still there, we can revive our momentum!"

Li Zicheng pointed his head and ordered Ren Jirong: "Hurry up and leave with Zhang Biwu's son! As long as Zhang Biwu's son is still in our hands, then we will have a trump card for Zhang Biwu! We must not lose it! If it falls into the hands of the Qing army, it will be dangerous! Maybe Zhang Biwu will be able to surrender to Qing! Do you know?"

Ren Jirong replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry! I'm ready to ensure that everything is safe! I've sent troops to pick them up, I'll go now!" After Ren Jirong said that, he left with a big stride.

Li Zicheng broke out of the siege under the protection of Wu Ruyi, Bai Wang, Li Yan and others. However, the Qing soldiers had already ordered them to capture Li Zicheng at all costs!

On the other hand, Xia Wanchun knew that the Qing army had attacked the city. In order to protect Xiaoyao, he had to master all the movements in Xiangyang.

He ran and said, "Quick! Let's change our clothes and leave here immediately!" His actions were fast, and at this moment, Ren Jirong came, which was to threaten them to leave.

When Xia Wanchun saw the Qing army coming, he obviously knew that the place where Xiaoyao was hostage, including Li Zicheng, would also be attacked by the Qing army. It was all caused by the traitor! Otherwise, the Qing army would not have known the situation!

Now that it is useless to say more, the key is to find a way to escape first! Xia Wanchun was thinking about how to escape. He could not let the young master fall into the hands of the Qing army. He wanted to ensure the safety of the young master. It was a matter of whether the marquis could resist the Qing Dynasty with peace of mind!

But the situation is critical! There are more and more Qing troops! They are going to cut off their escape! What should we do? Xiong Zongheng's hand holding the knife is sweating...

Xiao Xiaoyao's heart also turned to his throat. He remembered that when Lingbao was attacked, his mother once said that we would rather die than fall into the hands of the enemy and be humiliated! A soldier can be killed but not humiliated!

Although Xiaoyao doesn’t understand very well, he also made such a decision - never be a prisoner! He would rather die!

Xiaoyao was holding a dagger that Zhang Biwu gave him in his arms. The dagger was very sharp. He looked at the dagger and planned to have a dagger that would have resulted in his life.

Ren Jirong was also nervous at the same time because he saw that Li Zicheng had been surrounded by the Qing army and became the target of focus. He couldn't help but worry, what about Li Zicheng's life and death? But he was ordered by Li Zicheng to protect Zhang Xiaoyao. To be honest, Ren Jirong still wanted to protect Li Zicheng.

How will Li Zicheng, Zhang Xiaoyao and others break through the layers of constraints of the Qing army? Yes! The Qing army poured into the city! The Qing army laid a net of heaven and earth! They had nowhere to escape!

On Li Zicheng's side, the first thing he encountered was a problem. "Capture Li Zicheng!" Bayala soldiers shouted, and they were the first to run towards Li Zicheng!

"Shoot!" "Shoot!" The dense rain of arrows shot towards the Bayala soldiers. The Bayala soldiers were shot down, but there were still people who were not dead standing up. Even though blood was spilling out from the corners of his mouth, his eyes were still like swords, which was daunting.

There were also several Qing soldiers who had several arrows inserted into heavy armor on their bodies, and they were still rushing forward. They were all looking at Li Zicheng.

At this moment, the Dashun Army's imperial guards felt scared. They were facing an army that was not composed of people, but a devil army that would not die or suffer.

"Emperor! Not good! There are Qing soldiers in front, behind, and left and right! And General Wu, the general in charge of the central army, has been separated from us!" Bai Wang came to Li Zicheng panting and reported to Li Zicheng.
