Hundreds of scouts and cavalry ran back and forth, delivering orders.

Two hundred thousand troops were all over the mountains and fields. When marching, they did not rush up, but divided into several routes, like long snakes crawling towards Xingyang Town.

Thousands of dragon flags of the Eight Banners Army were roaring, and Huang Taiji looked back at the army all over the mountains and fields, and felt ambition.

He had never used such a huge army in the Battle of Jinzhou.

The Central Plains has a large population, so this is not the ultimate military force of the Later Jin Kingdom.

A group of Jianzhou generals were ready to try, but Shang Kexi, but Geng Zhongming and Wu Sangui were full of worries.

"The three of us will surrender to Nurhaci. Even if we are crowned as king in the future, we will be eliminated by Huang Taiji, Dorgon and others."

"So what if we don't surrender to Nurhaci? If we surrender to other princes, we will only die faster. We can survive under Nurhaci's hands."

"It is better for the three of us to set up our own doors. With our troops, we fled to Shandong, which has many hills, and we are enough to become a prince."

"Many of our gang members, Niu Lu, are the confidants of Nurhaci. If we rebel, we might die on the way and we should live for the time being. It's better to live without any reason."

Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and Wu Sangui conspired, but they could not get a satisfactory result.

In Xingyang Town, Fan Zhongyan personally came to this town to calm people's hearts and consolidate the city's defense.

"Report! Nurhaci sent troops, claiming to be a 700,000 army!"

"You will defend the city walls according to your arrangements. As long as Nurhaci cannot capture Xingyang, they will definitely withdraw their troops."

Fan Zhongyan was in charge and Nurhaci's army was approaching. Fan Zhongyan was still calm and composed. He divided his troops to guard the city gates. He also organized craftsmen to build arrow towers and deploy bed crossbows.

During his farming in Luozhou, Fan Zhongyan built 300 bed crossbows, of which 100 were deployed in Xiacheng, Hangu Pass and other places, and 100 bed crossbows were deployed near Hulao Pass. The remaining 100 bed crossbows were moved to Xingyang by Fan Zhongyan to deal with Nurhaci.

"This time we will try out the abilities of Nurhaci and others to collect intelligence."

Fan Zhongyan guarded Xingyang, and there was another secret purpose, which was to test Nurhaci's various means.

The bloody battle lasted for most of the day. The village gate had been broken by the Xia army, and the two sides fought in the village.

The flying general Shan Xiong used a horse spear to nail a Dashun army general to the wooden pillar of the wooden arrow tower, and pulled back the horse spear with force. The cold Dashun army general fell into a pool of blood.

After Shan Xiongxin joined Zhang Hua's forces, he led his troops to break through Suoguan Village and killed three generals of the Dashun Army.

The Dashun Army guarding the city and the village suffered more than 50% casualties. The remaining Dashun Army soldiers were besieged by tens of thousands of Xia troops and had to surrender.

"I'm not defeated yet!"

Liu Zongmin used the ghost-headed sword to force himself to support his body so that he would not fall down because of this.

Liu Zongmin and Ran Liang had a long battle, but were overwhelmed by Ran Liang and suffered dozens of trauma.

Beside Liu Zongmin, the old camp soldiers had not surrendered yet, and the guards were around Liu Zongmin, and they would rather die than surrender.

The death rate of veteran soldiers exceeded 80%, and their resilience was stronger than that of ordinary Dashun Army.

"Liu Zongmin, this village has fallen, you can still survive by surrendering."

Zhang Hua personally led the cavalry into Suoguan Village and collected this fortress that had been breached by Li Zicheng.

Liu Zongmin is already a fight of trapped beasts, and the well-equipped Xia army is everywhere.

In this situation, let alone Liu Zongmin, even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, may not be able to escape here.

Liu Zongmin yelled: "Don't want me to surrender!"

"Zhongkang, take it down."

Zhang Hua admired his bravery, so he sent Xu Chu to him.

"Abide by the order!"

Xu Chu, who was like an iron tower, groaned, his body shaking, his original body was blurred, and soon appeared in front of Liu Zongmin!

“!!!”

Liu Zongmin was not enough to resist, so Xu Chu punched him!

If Liu Zongmin was in full condition, he could still avoid Xu Chu's domineering punch, but Liu Zongmin had been fighting with Ran Liang for a long time and was already exhausted and could not avoid Xu Chu's fist.

Bang!

Xu Chu hit Liu Zongmin in the abdomen with a punch, almost knocking out Liu Zongmin's bitter bile!

Liu Zongmin, who was severely injured, was knocked out by Xu Chu!
Chapter completed!
