Li Zicheng rushed forward and finally led his army to Xi'an before Ajige arrived.

There are many civil and military officials from the Dashun Dynasty and the families of the soldiers and soldiers in Xi'an City, and they must not be abandoned easily.

Even if he wants to retreat, he will definitely take these relatives with him.

Li Zicheng decided to retreat immediately from Xi'an and transfer to Henan through Lantian and Shangluo.

Because time was too haste, he didn't have time to send someone to inform Gao Yigong in northern Shaanxi, Li Guo's important decision. However, Li Zicheng believed that with Li Guo's strength, Gao Yigong's ability would definitely be able to successfully lead the army to transfer.

Li Zicheng was a bandit and was very experienced in marching with his family. His experience was to organize the family into an old camp alone, and the soldiers could not easily meet the old camp. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the army would not be affected. Instead, the soldiers would fight bravely because of protecting their families and shed the last drop of blood.

In order to adapt to the needs of marching and transfer, the soldiers married big-footed women, and there was no problem in walking far away.

Although some generals were corrupt after the establishment of the Dashun regime and married several concubines, they were all Tianzu girls. Besides, this time, Li Zicheng only allowed them to take their first wife with him, and as for the concubines, they were not allowed to carry them.

What made Li Zicheng feel relieved was that the brothers of the Lao Eighth Team did not feel any dissatisfaction because of this, and even Liu Zongmin did not openly oppose him this time.

Facing difficulties, the old brothers once again tied up.

Li Zicheng has faced a situation that is worse than the current situation, but he has survived it.

When Tongguan was defeated by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, the old camp was beaten and separated. There were only a dozen people around him. Everyone thought he could not do it, but he just held his energy and lurked in the mountains of Shangluo for a period of time before rising up from the east.

He, Li Zicheng, never believed in fate. My fate is up to me, not to God!

The situation is much better than before. Although he gave up on Shaanxi, he voluntarily gave up and most of his troops were preserved. Now Li Zicheng has nearly 100,000 troops in his hands, which is not counting as Li Guo, Gao Yigong's more than 100,000 troops stationed in northern Shaanxi, and Bai Wang's 80,000 troops in the four prefectures of Huguang.

Taking all these troops into consideration, Li Zicheng still has nearly 300,000 people, and he will have a chance to make a comeback in the future and have a dignified showdown with the Qing army.

What he needs to do now is to retain the vitality as much as possible and carry out strategic transfers.

Shaanxi, I will come back again!

Looking back at Xi'an City, Li Zicheng swears secretly.

......

......

"General, let's surrender! Tongguan can't be defended no matter what!"

At the top of Tongguan City, Wang Guichuan, the personal soldier, knelt down on the ground and rushed to Wushan Boma Shiyao, who was staying in Tongguan, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty has returned to Xi'an and will definitely not come back. How can we resist the Tartar army with just over 7,000 people?"

The current situation is even more serious than two days ago. The battlements on the Tongguan city wall were almost flattened, and the soldiers had to defend the city with locust-like feather arrows, and the casualties were getting bigger and bigger.

Although the city wall has not been blown away for the time being, it will be a matter of time sooner or later.

If we continue to defend, Ma Shiyao and the more than 7,000 Shun troops must be buried with Tongguan.

But it was really hard for him to betray Li Zicheng so much and surrender to the Tartars.

Seeing that Ma Shiyao began to hesitate, Wang Guichuan gritted his teeth and said, "It really doesn't work. We can just surrender first and survive first. Then we will find an opportunity to escape."

Ma Shiyao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

This method is good!

As the saying goes, there are many cases of soldiers who never get tired of deceitful deception, and they are deceiving surrender and rebelling again in history.

Not to mention the distance, the Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong is a good player.

He has repeatedly accepted the imperial court's envoy, but every time he would raise the anti-flag again not long after. It is perfect to describe it as ruthless in pulling the penis.

Since the Eight Kings can do this, why can’t he, Ma Shiyao?

Only by surviving can you have the chance to take revenge. If it turns into a corpse, how can you take revenge?

Ma Shiyao swallowed and finally made up his mind.

"Okay, we will surrender!"

Since Ma Shiyao had decided, he stopped hesitating and immediately sent Wang Guichuan to go down the city through Ma Dao to inform the defenders to open the city gate. These Shunmen were Ma Shiyao's direct subordinates, and they followed the execution without hesitation.

To be honest, they would have wanted to surrender long ago. If it weren't for their generals' support, the city gate would have been opened long ago.

But it's not too late now.

Duoduo has been unable to attack Tongguan for a long time, and he is very upset.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the city gate of Tongguan wide open and his mouth grew in surprise.

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, the defenders feared the prince's power and surrendered!"

Seeing this, Kong Youde immediately seized the opportunity and praised: "This is such a great joy. The army will no longer be damaged in the siege."

"kindness."

Duoduo nodded, feeling very happy.

Manchuria is sparsely populated, and every person in the Eight Banners Army is very precious, one less death.

It is naturally a good thing to be able to take Tongguan without any blood.

Geng Zhongming saw that Kong Youde was not willing to be outdone when he flattered, so he smiled and came to Duoduo and said, "I think it is God who is blessing the prince, otherwise why is the prince invincible all the way through this Western Expedition?"

Duoduo laughed and said, "What King Huaishun said is interesting. Come on, follow me into the city!"

"Prince, wait!"

Kong Youde hurriedly said, "Although the prince is very prosperous, the servants are afraid that there will be a fraud in this, so they might as well order all the defenders in the city to leave the city and receive surrender!"

Kong Youde's suggestion was immediately adopted by Dodo.

The Han people were full of tricks and the situation of false surrender was very common. This time they suddenly surrendered, so it is indeed necessary to guard against it.

"Yes, just do as King Gongshu said."

As long as all the defenders in the city go out of the city and receive surrender, they will definitely not be able to do anything. If they want to attack, Duoduo's army can immediately kill them.

Duoduo sent someone to tell Ma Shiyao about the conditions for surrender. Ma Shiyao gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

There is no way, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

What he has to do now is to let these more than 7,000 brothers save their lives first.

If you stay in the green mountains, you will not have to worry about burning firewood. Sooner or later, you will have the chance to escape and meet with the King of Breaking.

In order to show his sincerity in surrender, Ma Shiyao sent his soldiers to throw away all the weapons and left the city with bare hands to surrender.

Seeing more than 7,000 Shun troops walking out of Tongguan City one after another, Duoduo was so excited that he was extremely excited.

"Okay, okay, I have made great contributions to this king, and the Regent will definitely give more praise."

This time he and Ajige led their troops to fight, and it may not be that Dorgon's intention to take the school exam.

Although Duoduo and Azige are brothers, they also want to compete for a while.

By taking Tongguan and taking advantage of the situation to capture Xi'an, Duoduo will completely overwhelm Ajige in this Western Expedition and become the most well-deserved No. 1 general of the Qing Dynasty!
