When Li Dingguo heard that the "three-family slave" Wu Sangui held Yongli hostage in Xinyang Prefecture, he angrily sent troops from the mall to attack the west.

During these two days, the troops have crossed the Yellow River without stopping.

However, more than 30,000 Western Armys were not more than 300. Such a large army marched in one direction in a short time, and the dispatch in the middle was a huge project.

What's more, there are infantry, horse army, elephant soldiers, and countless food, supplies, weapons and ammunition. Any road that can be passed through is full of people.

It is completely impossible to hide this kind of formation from the other party’s scout.

In Xinyang Prefecture, Wu Sangui had long heard that Li Dingguo personally led a large army to attack, but his subordinates couldn't understand that Wu Sangui didn't even make the most basic defense deployment, and did not see anyone. He just chatted with Zhu Youlang every day.

It turns out that at this time, I really realized the enlightenment of being a lucky minister.

The son-in-law of Wu Sangui, the Xia Kingdom, were anxious. Although the enemy was not too strong, Li Dingguo's reputation as "Little Yuchi" and "enemies of ten thousand people" was not worthy of.

If the Daxi Army really wants to be at the city, how can we make the morale be damaged?

Until the Western Army successfully crossed the Little Yellow River and the vanguard approached the Puxian River line in Zhongshan, Wu Sangui finally responded.

He ordered Ma Sanbao to lead his army to fight against the enemy, but his troops were not large, and he had 6,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry.

It took more than an hour to reach the Xishui battlefield at the speed of cavalry.

The Western Army had no time to react, so Li Dingguo could only lead the cavalry and elephant soldiers to fight the enemy head-on.

After the battle, the Daxi Army suffered heavy losses, losing half of the cavalry and most of the elephant soldiers, and then forced the Masanbao army to retreat.

However, it was just forcing back.

Ma Sanbao just retreated a little and temporarily repaired the vicinity of Yuxianshou Mountain.

That night, he rushed to the camp again.

In fact, during the period when Ma Sanbao retreated and repaired, Li Dingguo still had the opportunity to retreat east, but it was just a hero who broke his arm and suffered some losses.

Unfortunately, Li Dingguo ignored the advice of Bai Wenxuan, Ma Weixing and other generals, and insisted on continuing to advance towards Xinyang City.

This caused another encounter with the Ma Sanbao cavalry in the darkness.

In the dark night, the Daxi Army held a torch in hand to illuminate, which obviously gave the enemy cavalry an accurate position.

Although the Western Army is prepared for defense, how can it effectively resist the crazy assault of the enemy cavalry?

After this battle, Li Dingguo lost almost all his cavalry, which means that Xinyang City was far away, but the Western Army had lost this sharp knife.

Most of the enemy's main forces have not moved, and there are still strong cities to rely on. Anyone understands this battle and will definitely be defeated.

However, what is strange is that Ma Sanbao Cavalry was twice apart from Li Dingguo, but never took the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

Instead, it escapes with one blow.

This caused the Western Army to suffer a second setback, under the strict order of Li Dingguo, the main force of the army was still advancing westward.

Is this a thought...Is it that I will never stop until I die?

....

Chi Erhan got the order from Wu Zheng and was stuck in Shenqiu with less than 5,000 troops.

This little force is obviously powerless in attacking.

But if Ajige wants to go out to attack the mall in the south, he has to consider it carefully.

Once he had everything out, he had to guard against Chi Erhan's army taking advantage of his old nest Ruyang City.

Of course, Ajige's troops can easily defeat or remove Chi Erhan's less than 5,000 troops.

But Ajige knew in his heart that it would be better to poke less in this hornet's nest. At least, at this point, it would be better to provoke the Northern Expedition Army less.

As long as we first clear Henan, solve the Great Western Army, and then turn around and fight against Wu.

So Ajige could only send 20,000 troops south to attack the mall. He thought it was enough. Li Dingguo had already advanced westward, and the maximum number of people left behind in the mall was only a few thousand, and 20,000 elite troops were enough to break through the mall in a short period of time.

As long as Chi Erhan doesn't move, he won't move.

....

Kaishun is located at the junction of Luzhou and Runing, just a small town.

Xia Wanchun's Jianyang Wei department and Liao Zhongping's Zuoying department were all stocked here.

The intention is the same, which is to stay in the mall for Li Dingguo.

But Xia Wanchun and Liao Zhongping have led the main force to retreat eastward under the will of Zhu Lianbi, and only 6,000 people stayed at Kaishun.

Originally, according to Zhu Lianbi's order, Jianyangwei and Zuoying had to retreat to the coast of the Yangtze River.

But Wu Zheng ordered a secret order in time to stop Jianyang Guard and Zuoying retreated eastward.

At this time, Xia Wanchun, Liao Zhongping and the main force led by him were on the front line of Tongcheng and Shucheng.

It's only two days' trip to the mall.

If you can leave the two doors, it is indeed a psychological torment for those who are generals.

Central Army tent.

Liao Zhongping sighed.

"Mr. Master, you should tell me, how to deal with this matter... no matter what, it is the emperor's will overthrow it. The last general cannot use the order of King Wu to suppress the imperial edict...?"

Xia Wanchun, who was just about the same age as the champion, had experienced the six or seven years of Rong Lu, and the childishness on his face had long faded, and he could not find any taste similar to his age.

"I have told you many times, just one reason: I will not accept the orders of the outside king... Don't mention the orders of the general. General Liao, that's a boring thing, and it's a big deal to make things difficult for the King of Wu!"

"My father-in-law is here, I understand the truth... But this is a military camp, how many words are open? Who can know if there is any court eyewitness... I was deceived when I didn't get it..."

"General Liao!" Xia Wanchun shouted sternly, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Liao Zhongping said, realizing that he had lost his words and hurriedly said, "I know my mistake... Isn't this the only one of you and me? I regard the Duke as my own, so he is so arrogant... Please forgive me!"

"Although I don't know what he wants to do, but after so many years, his character...I believe in him!"

Liao Zhongping nodded and said, "As the words of the prince, the King of Wu is indeed a person with a temperament..."

Speaking of this, Liao Zhongping raised his finger without a finger and sighed slightly, "But... I can't figure it out. The Yongli Dynasty did not treat us as our own people or as a friendly army, and was always guarding us... You said, if not, would we need to retreat east before... But now, the imperial court ordered us to withdraw our troops, and the King of Wu ordered us to reinforce Runing at any time... From now on, even if we go urgently, it will take at least two days... Not only will it delay the fighter opportunity, but it will make us so passive... I really can't figure out what the King of Wu thought... Is it really because the prince wants to marry Princess Yongli?"

At the end, Liao Zhongping's voice was so low that it was almost unaudible, "Either fight or withdraw, and the King of Wu would not give a clear letter... On this day, several eunuchs came to urge him... I really couldn't stand it!"

Xia Wanchun glanced at Liao Zhongping, "Can anyone who is urging homecoming come today?"

"Huh... I'm so surprised by my father-in-law's mention. There's really nothing today... Otherwise, I can't complain to you."
