Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

The heroic performance of the Tang Dynasty soldiers shocked and terrified the Ming Dynasty soldiers and Li Zicheng's army.

The Ming soldiers looked at these brave warriors from the Tang Dynasty with admiration and confidence in their hearts.

They began to believe that with these people, they would be able to resist Li Zicheng's army.

Li Zicheng's army was shocked by the fighting power of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and they began to doubt whether they could defeat these powerful imperial troops.

Liu Zongmin and Li Guo were extremely angry, but they could do nothing about it.

They couldn't catch up with Li Chengqian and others, and could only watch them move freely on the battlefield and constantly cause them losses.

This battle made them realize deeply that they were facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.

Liu Zongmin was very anxious as he looked at the elusive enemy on the battlefield.

He shouted loudly: "We can't continue like this, this group of people is too strong, we may be dragged to death!"

His voice was filled with anxiety and anger, and veins popped out on his forehead.

The originally arrogant attitude was now suppressed by this sudden powerful enemy.

Li Guo was also furious. He roared, "Then what do you say we should do? We can't explain to King Chuang if we go back now!"

He tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, his eyes revealing unwillingness.

They came here with great momentum and thought they could easily take the capital, but they did not expect to encounter such stubborn resistance here.

Liu Zongmin frowned, thought for a while and said, "We can only leave 5,000 men behind to cover our retreat. We must rush to the capital and cannot waste any more time here."

There was a gleam of determination in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had made a great decision.

Afterwards, five thousand elite infantrymen were left behind.

Each of these soldiers had a resolute look on their faces, and their eyes revealed a kind of determination and fearlessness.

They knew clearly that they stayed behind as sacrifices, in order to buy time for the main force to retreat, and it was a huge sacrifice made for the great cause of King Chuang.

However, they did not hesitate or retreat at all, and firmly stayed on this land without hesitation.

They stood there like unshakable mountains, exuding an aura of determination.

They have admiration and loyalty for Li Zicheng in their hearts because they have witnessed his struggle and hard work along the way.

Li Zicheng led them to rise from poverty and oppression and gave them hope and courage.

His slogan "Equal distribution of land and exemption of taxes" was like a bright light, illuminating their dark lives.

They believed that under the leadership of King Chuang, they could escape from suffering and usher in a new world.

Li Zicheng's prestige can be seen from this.

He is not only the leader of the rebel army, but also the faith and hope in the hearts of these soldiers.

His personal charm and leadership skills made these soldiers willing to give everything for him, even their lives.

They are willing to follow him, fight for common ideals, and work hard to create a fair and just society.

They quickly formed their battle formation and prepared to meet the enemy's attack.

The remaining Li Zicheng troops turned their horses around and retreated in another direction.

They retreated like the tide, leaving only a cloud of flying dust.

Li Chengqian and Li Shimin looked at the retreating enemy troops and felt an urge to pursue them.

But these five thousand soldiers and horses that were left behind held them tightly.

These soldiers fought bravely and never retreated, causing great trouble to Li Chengqian and Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian looked at those stubborn enemies and couldn't help but sigh: "The generals under Li Zicheng are really straightforward!"

There was both admiration and a hint of helplessness in his tone.

He knew that although these enemies were their opponents, their decisiveness was also worthy of admiration.

In this chaotic world, everyone is fighting for their own beliefs, whether it is for the Ming Dynasty or for Li Zicheng's rebel army.

This battle is destined to be a tough one.

But Li Chengqian had no intention of taking on this wave of rearguard troops.

He was fully aware of the urgency of the situation and that he could not afford to spend too much time on these 5,000 rearguard troops, so as not to delay more important strategic deployments.

As Liu Zongmin and Li Guo quickly evacuated, Li Chengqian decisively ordered a retreat to the capital.

They rushed back to the temporary military camp outside the capital without stopping.

This military camp seemed particularly important at this time. It was like a solid fortress, forming a horn with the capital city, and together they restrained Li Zicheng's army's siege operations.

Five thousand Ming troops were stationed on a high ground outside the capital, and were working intensively to reinforce the camp.

Li Chengqian's group was small in number and they returned before Liu Zongmin and Li Guo.

He began to actively deploy defenses, fortify camps, set traps, and arrange patrols.

Every soldier understands his mission. They hold their weapons tightly, ready to meet the enemy's attack at any time.

He also sent scouts to closely monitor the movements of Liu Zongmin and Li Guo so as to respond in a timely manner.

Their task was not only to defend, but also to take the initiative to attack, create trouble for the enemy, delay their siege progress, and wait for the arrival of Li Jing and Wu Sangui's army.

This is their hope. Only if Wu Sangui's Guanning Cavalry joins the battle can the situation be truly changed.

That night, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo led the army and finally saw the city walls of Beijing.

In the hazy night, the tall and majestic city wall is like a silent giant beast, exuding a majestic aura.

But now it was night, and attacking the city was impossible.

They had no choice but to set up camp and prepare to clean up the area around the capital and build siege equipment the next morning.

The two men looked up at the city walls of the capital, only to see that the walls were brightly lit and the Ming soldiers were on full alert.

They were wearing armor, holding weapons, and looking firmly into the distance.

This was completely different from the lazy Ming army in their impression. The soldiers before them looked extremely elite and alert, as if they were ready to fight at any time.

Liu Zongmin frowned, secretly surprised. He didn't expect the defense of the capital to be so tight.

Li Guo also looked solemn. They realized that this battle might be much more difficult than they had imagined.

But the two did not think much about it, and instead thought it was understandable that the army in the capital of the Ming Dynasty was more elite.

At night, in the camp of Liu Zongmin and Li Guo's army, the soldiers were exhausted after a day of marching and fell asleep one after another.

However, what they didn't know was that danger was approaching quietly.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian led a team of elite soldiers and quietly approached the enemy camp under the cover of night.

When they approached the edge of the camp, Li Shimin made a gesture, and the soldiers immediately lit the torches in their hands and threw them hard towards the enemy camp.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and the enemy camp fell into chaos...
