An Qingjun's outfit was naturally carefully designed by Yu Wan. He secretly prepared thousands of strange masks more than ten days ago in order to use a fatal blow when the enemy's mentality is most fragile!

The reason why he chose the battle site in Huangjiawan was because the bamboo forest here was weird and gloomy enough, and there was an unfathomable lake next to it, which was an extremely yin place.

In order to make it more realistic, Yu Wan also ordered the heads of the peasant army who died in battle to cut down and pile them on the car.

Shunbing was already scared when killed. People were extremely afraid of Yang energy. When fear was added to psychological hints, they were prone to think a lot, so they all regarded the Yu family army as Yin soldiers.

In this battle, nearly 10,000 peasant soldiers were captured. After two major wars, Yuan Zongdi's main force was completely destroyed and no longer poses a threat to Jiangxia.

Yu Wan took off the bronze mask and rode the little white horse towards Xu Hu, "Hu Zi, brother and sister, are you okay?"

After Xu Hu's life, the soldiers under his command cleaned the battlefield, they panted, "It's a good thing that our bodies are strong and can withstand the scare. Otherwise, I would be frightened by the thunder to make Qi Kong bleeding, and my wife would be shocked to death."

Yu Wan glanced at Pei Yingying and saw that her beautiful cheeks were a little carbon black and her hair was messy. She said with apologies:

"When I defeat Li Zicheng, I will give you two a few days off to cure this psychological trauma."

Pei Yingying waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Ship Yu, although the strong enemy has retreated, we have lost hundreds of brothers after two fierce battles. Li Zicheng is coming soon, how should we resist?"

Qin Boqiong interrupted indifferently, "The general comes to block the water and soil. At worst, he can do a few more ambush and raids!"

Yu Wan smiled and shook her head, glanced at the exhausted soldiers of various battalions, "The reason why these two ambushings were successful is because Yuan Zongdi didn't know us, so he took it lightly.

After this battle, the enemy must be extremely cautious, and our firepower is limited. Not only are the mines consumed, but there are only more than 3,000 bullets left. If you want to win again, you can only do it with real swords and guns!"

Zhao Xunchang shrugged and chewed the dry food in his mouth hard, "Li Zicheng has an army of 150,000. Although he is a grasshopper in the autumn, the lean camel is bigger than a horse!"

Yu Wan quipped Zhao Xunchang's shoulder and said, "Okay, Lao Zhao, his speech is becoming more and more literary. Yes, with our only 5,000 troops, it is naturally difficult to resist Li Zicheng. However, I have asked Jiang Ning to find Xie Yun to borrow troops to station on the banks of the Xishui River."

Hearing this, Xu Hu was stunned, "Brother Wan, why did you ask Lao Jiang to go to Xishui? We have so few people, why don't you let him come to Jiangxia to reinforce?"

Yu Wan took off his armor and placed it directly on the back of the little white horse, saying leisurely, "Xishui is the intersection of the mountains of Henan and Huguang provinces. Although the steep terrain is not conducive to the passage of the army, it is not ruled out that Li Zicheng took the risk and sent troops to smuggle directly into Hanjing. Lao Jiang led his army here to not only eliminate this hidden danger, but also restrain some of the peasant army's forces."

Zhao Xunchang said with some concern, "Can Lao Jiang do it alone? Should I transfer the troops from a battalion to help him?"

Yu Wan waved his hand lightly, "Jiang Ning is a talented general, he will not disappoint us. The most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the attack of Li Zicheng's army. Brothers, please clean up and let's go back to Jiangxia City tonight."

Xu Hu touched his head and said in confusion, "Brother Wan, aren't you talking about Jiangxia's small town that can't defend Li Zicheng's army? Why..."

"We just go back to recruit soldiers and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Recruiting troops?"

Everyone looked at him in amazement, "Why don't you do it in Anqing if you want to recruit soldiers? How can the team that you put together temporarily have combat power!"

Yu Wan took a deep breath, "Anqing is already short of strong men, so if they want to recruit them to the military camp, who will grow grain and who will open up the land?"

We are recruiting the people of Jiangxia now. The people here have always been strong, and there are no less than 100,000 service personnel of the right age. Isn’t it a pity that so many soldiers are idle? Moreover, the temporary army may not be without combat effectiveness. The key is who commands it!"

———

In mid-to-late October 1644, Li Zicheng suffered repeated defeats in the battle with the Qing army, and the remaining Shaanxi-Henan region was occupied by the Qing court.

In desperation, Li Zicheng had to lead 150,000 remaining troops to retreat south, captured more than a dozen cities in Ximing, and pushed the army to Yingshan County, Huguang Province, less than 300 miles away from Hanjing City, and the Ximing regime was in a hurry again.

——Yingshan County Government Hall—

There were six people in the lobby, one sitting upright in the hall, one kneeling on the ground with trembling trembling, and the other four stood like pine trees in a row.

The man in the hall was wearing golden silk armor and savoring hot tea, but he saw his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and his figure was agile and domineering. The light cast in his eyes made people feel chilling and chilling in his spine.

This person is the tyrant Li Chuang, the tyrant who overthrew the Ming Dynasty and established Dashun!

"I have given you a 20,000 army. In just a few days, there are only less than 5,000 left. Is this how you repay my trust in you?"

Li Zicheng closed the map with a gloomy face and looked at Yuan Zongdi kneeling on the ground with a cold look.

Yuan Zongdi hurriedly kowtowed, and his forehead was quickly hit and his flesh was fuzzy and unbearable to look at him. "My subordinates were incompetent and failed the favor of the emperor. However, the commander of the Ming army, Yu Wan, was very cunning and capable of using the Yin soldiers for his own use..."

"Yu Wan? Niu Qing, have you heard of this person?"

Niu Jinxing is the important strategist under Li Zicheng after Li Yan. After Li Zicheng proclaimed him emperor, he named him Prime Minister. He shook his head lightly, "I have never heard of it."

Yuan Zongdi hurriedly said, "This person is the number one confidant general of Emperor Chongzhen and is one of the best capable ministers and generals in the Western Ming Dynasty. Although he is only twenty-two years old, he has defeated the powerful enemy several times to save the Ming Dynasty. In the battle of Ye Yan Gu, he helped Zhu Youjian escape and died!"

Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng only sneered a few times after hearing this, "You can't even deal with a young man in his early twenties, so what's the point of keeping you!"

A powerful general with a big shoulder and a round waist also looked at Yuan Zong with contempt, "Like such a child, you can beat me up in one fell swoop. Yuan Xianfeng really gave me the face of the commander of Dashun!"

This person's surname is Liu and his name is Zongmin. He is brave and good at fighting and has made great contributions. He is Li Chuang's confidant general.

Li Laiheng, who was standing aside, also echoed, "There is no general in Shu Liao Hua as a vanguard. It seems that after Zuo Liangyu defeated Jiangdong, there was no general available to Ximing. He actually sent such a yellow-haired child to guard the important land of Jiangxia. The emperor's uncle and grand nephew were willing to lead five thousand elite soldiers to capture Yu Wan alive!"
