After Ye Huai re-adjusted the senior military generals of the Jiubian and Four Towns, his control over the Ming army greatly increased.

It took less than half a month to gather in the capital city of 500,000 troops from the four towns of Jiubian.

After the crown prince Ye Huai held a grand ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, he wore a domineering armor, carried a golden rifle, held a domineering gun, and rode a Shenjun black horse.

He raised his heavy, murderous overlord gun, waved it to the northwest, and shouted majestic: "Go to the expedition!!!"

After his words fell, Ye Huai took the lead in riding a black horse and galloping forward.

The rear army flags covered the sky and sun, and spears were lush.

The 5,000 Iron Blood Army followed closely behind Ye Huai, then the 50,000 Imperial City Army, and behind it was 500,000 troops from the four towns of Jiubian.

A total of 555,000 troops rushed to Xi'an Prefecture to fight against Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion.

It is worth mentioning that the 120,000 Imperial City Army have all been equipped with rifles and grenades, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly increased.

Furthermore, under Ye Huai's secret military order, Lu Ban and the experts of the Arms Bureau upgraded the red-clothed cannons and built a batch of brand new red-clothed cannons.

Ye Huai will take them to attack Li Zicheng. These cannons, rifles, and grenades will all become Li Zicheng's nightmare!

Ye Huai knew that as long as Li Zicheng was destroyed, the rebellion of other landlords would not be possible at all.

In addition, before this, Ye Huai had already informed the whole country through the Daming Daily that he would send troops to fight against Li Zicheng's rebel traitor!

...

Xi'an, Dashunchao Palace, in the main hall.

Li Zicheng, wearing a dragon robe and an imperial crown, sat on the dragon throne, holding a Daming Daily in his hand, and his face looked very bad.

In the court below, there are a group of civil servants and military generals.

They also knew that Ye Huai, the devilish crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, personally led a 555,000 army westward to attack Dashun Kingdom.

Ye Huai is famous and shocked the world.

Now, he personally led his army to attack Dashun, the newly born new regime, and the civil and military officials under Li Zicheng were also a little nervous.

Li Zicheng glanced at the civil and military officials, took their expressions in his eyes, and stood up.

He knew that Ye Huai's reputation shocked the world. He had just defeated the powerful Later Jin and killed Huang Taiji not long ago. It was normal for his generals to be afraid of him.

What Li Zicheng has to do now is to drive away the fear in his subordinates.

If you are afraid before the battle, how can you fight this battle?

Hiss!

Li Zicheng tore the Daming Daily in his hand to pieces and said in a deep voice:

"Hmph, I occupy the land of Guanzhong, and there is a blockade of Xiongguan Tongguan. Even if Zhu Cilang has many troops, he will never want to break through Tongguan and enter Guanzhong! As long as we can defend Tongguan, we can defend Hanzhong!"

"Your Majesty said so much!"

"As long as Tongguan is in our hands, Zhu Cixuan can only sigh at Guan!"

“…”

After hearing Li Zicheng's words, the tension and haze in his heart were wiped out and he became full of confidence again.

Tongguan is a must-pass place to enter Hanzhong, the hinterland of the Central Plains by land, and is the gateway and throat.

Moreover, Tongguan has a dangerous terrain and has a natural barrier. It is difficult to overcome it.

The army led by Ye Huai had to attack and enter Xi'an, but to break through Tongguan first.

Seeing that the generals were regaining their confidence, Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "Yuan Zongdi, Li Laiheng, and Liu Zongmin obeyed the order!"

The first path is Jindou Pass;

Behind is Huangxiangban,

This is a narrow road, which is five miles long and is dangerous and suitable for ambushing;

After passing Huangxiangban and climbing the plateau, we arrived at Tongguan;

There is also a forbidden ditch behind Tongguan, which is the important military road leading to Houcheng. This place is one of the most important places in Tongguan. It is equipped with Tongguan defense and is prohibited from passing through.

Ye Huai knew that it would be difficult to break through Tongguan by ordinary means, and he didn't know how many soldiers would have to sacrifice.

"Children Zhu Cixuan, there are three generals, Yuan Zongdi, Li Laiheng, and Liu Zongmin, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. You can't imagine that you will get over the thunder in half a step!

I would like to advise you to come and go wherever you are! Don’t just increase casualties!" Yuan Zongdi, who was standing on the high building, said arrogantly at Ye Huai.

Ye Huai heard this and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, a sneer appeared:

"Yuan Zongdi, do you think that with Tongguan, this palace cannot destroy you?
Chapter completed!
