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

However, Li Chengqian didn't care about Chongzhen's actions.

In his view, his mission was to completely destroy the Qing Dynasty, and everything else was irrelevant.

Anyway, he will return to the Tang Dynasty in a few days, and everything here will have nothing to do with him.

Li Chengqian began to prepare for departure.

He summoned his soldiers and arranged the relocation of the refugees.

He knew it would be a difficult journey, but he had to complete the task.

The night was as dark as ink, and Li Chengqian led the team slowly set off.

Their figures gradually faded away in the darkness, leaving the capital city in silence.

Chongzhen stood on the city wall, looking in the direction they left, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He didn't know whether his decision was right, but he knew that he had to work hard for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

And Li Chengqian, with his mission, embarked on an unknown journey.

During the long march, Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and Li Jing walked side by side, and the atmosphere was solemn and full of urgency.

Li Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, looked into the distance, and slowly said: "This Guanning Iron Cavalry is indeed an elite division.

Their war horses are all good horses. They run like the whistling wind, and their speed is astonishing.

The cavalrymen were all experienced in battle and had superb horsemanship. They charged into battle and were unstoppable.

Their armor is sturdy and their weapons are sharp. Whether it is a spear or a sword, they can be wielded with great force and easily penetrate the enemy's defense.

The tactical coordination of the Guanning Iron Cavalry was even more exquisite. They either separated or combined, sometimes piercing the enemy's vital points like a sharp sword, and sometimes resisting the enemy's attacks like an iron wall.

In the battle in the capital, their impact and combat power were clearly demonstrated. If they had not joined, the outcome of this battle would have been unpredictable."

Li Shimin listened to Li Jing's description, but his face was somewhat gloomy. He snorted coldly and said, "Chongzhen's behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is really unpleasant. He was eager to drive us away right after the battle."

Li Chengqian shook his head slightly and said calmly: "This is actually very normal.

If you were Chongzhen, what would you do?

After all, our origins are mysterious and our prestige in the capital is so high, how could he not be worried?

And this is exactly what we want. Our goal is to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, not to fight for power in the capital.

There are still four days left, and we must destroy the main force of the Qing army within these four days."

Li Shimin frowned and asked worriedly: "But how do we solve this food problem?

Without enough food, our army will have difficulty supporting such a high-intensity battle."

Li Chengqian's eyes shone, and he said decisively: "If there is no food, go and rob it! Rob it from North Korea.

He sent fast horses and asked Cheng Yaojin to lead his army into Korea to steal food.

We cannot delay the war because of food problems."

After saying that, Li Chengqian and Li Shimin selected some of Li Zicheng's elite young and strong men, and rode their war horses to Liaodong first.

They galloped all the way and met Hou Junji when passing Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan had been successfully captured and was filled with weapons and food.

Hou Junji saw Li Chengqian and Li Shimin from afar and hurriedly rode forward at full speed.

He dismounted and said respectfully and eagerly, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, Shanhaiguan is now completely under our control.

This magnificent fortress is stockpiled with a large amount of supplies. Various weapons are piled up like mountains, swords, spears, and halberds emit a cold light, and there are also a large number of armors and shields, enough to equip our soldiers and give them more protection on the battlefield.

There is also sufficient food and fodder. These foods are enough for our army to sustain the battle for a period of time, and we don’t have to worry about logistical supply issues.

Moreover, those who were originally wavering among the Guanning Iron Cavalry were also conquered through our patient persuasion and the use of both kindness and force.

Today, our strength has increased a lot, and we have more confidence to face the upcoming challenges."

Li Chengqian frowned slightly and said solemnly: "How much food can Shanhaiguan have? There are still hundreds of thousands of refugees to come, so this amount of food is not enough.

Hou Junji, you continue to stay in Shanhaiguan and send troops to rob the surrounding Mongolian tribes. Take as much as you can.

We must prepare enough supplies for our army in the shortest possible time to prepare for the upcoming war."

Hou Junji's expression was stern, and he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best.

Shanhaiguan has a dangerous terrain. We can take advantage of this place and send out elite troops to raid the surrounding Mongolian tribes.

Although those tribes are ferocious, they will be unable to resist under our careful planning and brave attack.

We will prepare enough food and supplies for the army as soon as possible to ensure that we have no worries on the battlefield."

Li Chengqian nodded and warned, "Be cautious and don't underestimate the enemy.

The Mongolian cavalry is elusive and much stronger than the Turkic cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. We must fully understand their situation and formulate a reasonable combat plan. At the same time, we must also pay attention to protecting our soldiers and minimize casualties. "

After saying that, Li Chengqian led his men to continue to march towards Liaodong, leaving Hou Junji in Shanhaiguan to actively prepare supplies and prepare to launch an operation to rob the surrounding Mongolian tribes.

On the way to Liaodong, Li Chengqian and others were riding their horses at full speed when they suddenly saw a group of cavalry galloping towards them from afar.

When the man came closer, they found out it was Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian was in a hurry and looked anxious. When he saw Li Chengqian, he said hastily, "Your Highness, I just got the news that Dorgon has returned to Shengjing.

He moved extremely quickly, as if he had noticed our movements and wanted to seize the initiative.

The situation is extremely urgent and we must respond as quickly as possible.”

After hearing this, Li Chengqian was not worried at all. Instead, he showed a hint of excitement. He laughed and said, "Great! We don't have to look for it everywhere.

This is a good time for a decisive battle.

Pass the order down, speed up the march, and prepare for a decisive battle with the main force of the Qing army."

In the direction of Shengjing, Dorgon was commanding the main force of the Qing army to launch a fierce offensive.

Dorgon rode on a tall horse, his eyes revealing strong ambition and determination.

Behind him, flags were flying and Qing soldiers were rushing towards the city ahead like a tide.

The shouts of killing shook the earth, and the Qing soldiers carried ladders and pushed red cannons and marched forward bravely.

The archers continued to shoot arrows at the city walls, trying to suppress the defenders on the walls.

However, the defenders of Shengjing did not show any weakness. They put up a tenacious resistance and fought back against the Qing army with weapons such as bows and arrows, rolling logs, and stones.

Dorgon had a gloomy face and kept issuing orders, urging the soldiers to intensify the attack.

He knew very well that only by taking Shengjing as soon as possible could he consolidate his power and lay the foundation for further struggle for the world.
