At dusk, the battlefield of Mount Li, which had been fighting fiercely for a day, returned to peace.

Under the raid of the two wings of the Zhou army's iron cavalry, the archers and musketeers behind the Jin army's heavy infantry front collapsed first.

After losing the support of archers and musketeers, the heavy infantry of the Jin army was at a disadvantage and was defeated by the Zhou army and the eight banners of Han, who were in high spirits, and finally caused the retreat of the Jin army on both wings.

This is how war is. One mistake will cause a chain reaction and ultimately lead to the failure of the entire war.

Although Jiang Xiang had a large number of troops, he was far inferior to the elite of the Zhou army. The 100,000 army collapsed across the board under the attack of the 60,000 Zhou army.

Fortunately, the battlefield chosen by Jiang Xiang was quite beneficial to the Jin army. The army lined up behind the mountains, making it impossible for Zhou cavalry to cover up and pursue it, and did not cause dozens of miles of corpses.

At this time, the battlefield at the foot of Mount Li gradually calmed down. Ten thousand Jin soldiers were killed and more than 30,000 surrendered. All the remaining soldiers fled to Mount Li to trap the mountain.

At this time, Wu Sangui carried a big gun in his hand and slowly walked through the battlefield, looking around.

At the foot of Mount Li, the bodies of the soldiers of the two armies were killed everywhere, and discarded weapons and flags were scattered. The soldiers of Zhou army were passing through, confiscating spoils and cleaning the battlefield.

Cheers first sounded from the Eight Banners of Han who were chasing to the foot of Mount Li. After a day of fighting, they finally destroyed the Jin army.

The Eight Banners of Han served for the Qing Dynasty for many years. After defecting to Wu Sangui, they were actually a little frightened.

After all, they bullied and despised the Guanning Army a lot back then. Now they have changed from the high-ranking Eight Banners to the cannon fodder under the Guanning Army, and they are all worried about their future destiny.

In this battle, they had great contributions to the Zhou cavalry raiding the Jin army with the impact of the superior forces of the Jin army.

With this battle, they had a place in Zhou State. Zu Zerun and others waved their weapons and cheered loudly, and the sound spread on the battlefield.

On Mount Li, the soldiers of the Jin army were depressed, and the generals stood dejectedly around Jiang Xiang, looking at the cheers of the Zhou army below the mountain, as well as the bodies covered with wilderness and burning battle flags.

"Master, what should I do now?" Jiang Youguang asked with little confidence.

After seeing the charge of the Zhou cavalry, the generals of the Jin army were no longer rampant and no one continued to clamor.

When luck is used up, the pig will land as soon as the strong wind stops.

Jiang Xiang's face was as deep as water, and he could not speak as he looked at the cavalry running back and forth at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, although he still had an army of 60,000, he was trapped in Mount Li and did not dare to move.

Although the Zhou army could not attack for a while, there were Zhou cavalry cruising down the mountain and monitoring it, Jiang Xiang did not dare to go down the mountain.

The Guanzhong Plain is flat, and with the current state of the Jin army, as long as they go down the mountain, they will inevitably be defeated by the Zhou cavalry and then chased them all the way.

At that time, it is hard to say whether Jiang Xiang can escape back to Hedong. More than 60,000 Jin troops will definitely be destroyed.

"Unfortunately, I was surrounded by Bai Deng!" Jiang Xiang couldn't help but curse secretly.

It is impossible for him to go down the mountain now, but 60,000 people are crowded around Mount Li, and food and water sources have become problems, so it is obvious that they cannot stick to it for a long time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiang couldn't help but feel annoyed. Not long ago, he felt that he was standing in the wind and destiny, but now he has become Ma Su. It's a tragedy.

Facing the Zhou army cavalry at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Xiang wanted to leave, but couldn't leave, and wanted to defend, but the food and water were in a hurry, and the situation was relatively critical.

But how can a real man show his fear? Jiang Xiang said annoyedly: "No hurry! I still have 60,000 troops, Wu Sangui can't fight."

After saying that, Jiang Xiang turned around, left behind a worried general, and entered the big tent on the top of the mountain.

In the tent, Jiang Xiang threw his helmet on the table in annoyance, sat down heavily, raised his head and closed his eyes and leaned against the chair.

At this time, Hong Chengchou came in and said softly: "Master!"

Jiang Xiang was a little angry and opened her eyes suddenly, "What's the matter?"

Hong Chengchou bowed his fists and said, "Do you have any plans in the future?"

When Jiang Xiang heard this, his face turned red. Hong Chengchou had advised him not to start a war before, but he insisted on trying to kill the male and female, but he turned back his face.

If someone else comes to ask, it would be fine. Hong Chengchou comes to ask, which immediately made Jiang Xiang feel a little embarrassed and said angrily: "What should I do? I will stick to this place and cooperate with Meng Qiaofang inside and outside, and will definitely defeat Wu Sangui."

Hong Chengchou said lightly: "Meng Qiaofang was originally a Ming minister. Later, she surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and then surrendered to Wang Yongzhen, and finally surrendered to the king. The king thought Meng Qiaofang could be reliable? Even if Meng Qiaofang would send troops to support, the king thought that with Meng Qiaofang's strength, he could defeat Wu Sangui?"

Hong Chengchou's comments on Meng Qiaofang, which was not blushing, dispelled the idea that Jiang Xiang and Meng Qiaofang should be in harmony.

"This broom star!" Jiang Xiang seemed to have found the reason for his failure. He became even more angry when he heard the words, "Then I will surrender to Ajige and lead the troops of the East Qing Dynasty into Guanzhong. Let's see how Wu Sangui can do this king?"

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "Although Ajige is incompatible with Fulin, they are all regimes established by Manchus. The king betrayed Fulin, which means he betrayed Manchus. Even if Ajige accepts the favor of the king at present, he will be more cautious in the future and even get rid of the king."

Jiang Xiang's uprising directly caused the collapse of the Western Qing regime. If he surrendered to the Eastern Qing Dynasty, Ajige would definitely be on guard against him and suppress him, and it would be impossible for him to trust Jiang Xiang.

Hong Chengchou said he had died on two roads in succession. Jiang Xiang could not argue and his face turned red with anger. However, he was not Yuan Shao after all, and it was impossible for him to kill Hong Chengchou directly.

"You~" Jiang Xiang's face turned red, and she suddenly became depressed for a while. She sat on the chair depressedly and compromisedly: "What should the old governor think he should do?"

Hong Chengchou and others said this, and immediately said; "Of course, he surrendered to Wu Sangui. The king and the king of Zhou belonged to the anti-Qing army. If the king surrendered to him, the king of Zhou would repay his kindness and entrusted the king with the important task."

When leaving Xi'an, the first person Hong Chengchou planned to defect to was Wu Sangui.

However, when he went directly, Wu Sangui might not pay much attention to him, so Hong Chengchou first defected to Jiang Xiang, and then took Jiang Xiang to Wu Sangui.

In this way, it would be much heavier than when he went alone, and Wu Sangui would definitely treat him with high officials and generous titles.

After Hong Chengchou defected to Jiang Xiang, he helped Jiang Xiang defeat Wang Yongzhen and successfully attacked northern Shaanxi, proving his ability from the side. This time he was urging Jiang Xiang to surrender, and the position of the Grand Secretary of Zhou State could not escape.

Hong Chengchou had already made plans, just like Jia Dushi said he would surrender to Zhang Xiu, saying that he missed Jiang Xiang.

Jiang Xiang couldn't help but stand up and paced back and forth in the big tent. After a while, he stopped and said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible to ask me to surrender to Wu Sangui, but I have three conditions. First, guard Hedong, the army will not accept reorganization. Second, the officials of Hedong are recommended by me, Wu Sangui is appointed, and the title of king is retained."
