With Li Zicheng's personal visit to the front line, the morale of the Shun army was greatly boosted, and all the soldiers competed for the lead.
After fighting for half a day, dawn will dawn.
The Guan Ning Army that was stationed along the Shihe River in Shanhaiguan was retreating steadily, especially the main battlefield in Hexi. After Li Zicheng put in his true ace, the elite cavalry known as the "Three Walls", the defenders here were completely annihilated.
Gao Di was covered in blood and his face was covered with mud. He walked quickly and angrily into Wu Sangui's tent.
He slammed his helmet on the table and shouted: "North Wing City is lost! Where are the reinforcements you mentioned? Where are the reinforcements?"
Wu Sangui was splashed all over by the tea on the table, and wiped the tea leaves off his face with his hands, his face uncertain.
Seeing that Wu Sangui didn't speak, Gao Di became even more furious. He pointed at his nose and cursed: "I believed your stupid evil!"
At this time, Wu Sangui's guerrilla Guo Yunlong walked in quickly with a letter in his hand and prostrated himself on the ground.
"Sir, this is Dorgon's letter."
Wu Sangui patted the table and stood up, saying eagerly: "Read it quickly!" Gao Di also turned to look at Guo Yunlong.
"Although I was guarding Liaodong and was my enemy, don't doubt me again because of the past. If I come back with my troops now, I will be granted the title of homeland and promoted to the vassal king. One way, the country's hatred will be avenged, and another one's wealth will be improved.
May your descendants enjoy wealth and honor forever, just like mountains and rivers forever. Now that the war is critical, Bo should do his best." Dorgon's words came out of Guo Yunlong's mouth, and Wu and Gao looked at each other after hearing this.
"General Gao, what do you think?" Wu Sangui said slowly.
"Look at it, you have to do your best on your own. If you want my servant to die, there is no way! If the servant is gone, what's the use of surrender? Go and become a polished general."
"This Dorgon is a master who doesn't let go of eagles when he sees rabbits. Can we still regret it after this? We are just grasshoppers on the same rope now. In this way, you and I will join forces and go out of the city to rush towards him and drag him away.
Stay. How about I set off immediately to meet Dorgon and ask him to send troops quickly and attack from both ends?"
Gao Di lost his temper, and after hearing what Wu Sangui said, he calmed down and said, "I will do as you say!"
Deng San was lying on his back on the ground in a daze, next to Brother You and Gou Wa's body.
In the distance, the city gate has been broken open, and from time to time, surrendering Guan Ning troops are escorted out of the city.
"hey-hey."
Deng San opened his eyes and looked at the sky without any reaction.
"Hey, idiot, I'm calling you!"
"You're the fucking fool!" Deng San stood up and sat up and retorted.
"Look, fool, I'm behind you." Deng San slowly turned around after hearing the words, and saw corpses stacked on top of each other. A hand stretched out from the pile of corpses and moved the corpse on top away, revealing his body.
face.
The man was disheveled and his hair was hanging down, covering half of his face. He slowly crawled next to Deng San, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he revealed a pair of rotten teeth.
"Are you pretending to be dead too?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a stench hit his face. Deng San shook his head repeatedly, pinched his nose and said, "Good guy, have you eaten shit? Why does your mouth smell so bad?"
The man grinned and felt embarrassed. He moved his body, turned his face to the other side, and introduced himself: "I'm sorry, my mouth is naturally smelly, and even doctors can't cure it. My name is Rotten Tooth, what's your name?"
Son?"
"Deng Sanpi."
Rotten Ya patted Deng San's arm, pointed to the corpse next to him, and asked, "Your brother?"
Deng San nodded, lay down again, and said, "My brother was killed by me."
"Hey, what's the big deal? This is a war, who can survive? Look at how miserable you are."
Deng San didn't want to talk to him, but Rotten Tooth pulled a piece of grass from the ground and started chewing it. He seemed to be a chatterbox and kept chatting with Deng San.
The two of them chatted about each other. It turned out that Lan Ya was originally from Liaoxi. He escaped from the border, but was captured by the invading army. He had the same fate as Deng San.
"Boom...boom..."
Rotten Tooth seemed to feel the ground beneath his head shaking, and asked Deng San, "Did you feel anything?"
Deng San turned his head left and right, "What?"
"Tap tap... tap tap... tap tap."
"Did you hear it? There is a sound. Put your ear to the ground and listen." After listening, Deng San put his head sideways on the ground and listened carefully.
"Tap tap tap... tap tap tap..."
Deng San frowned and said uncertainly: "Movements like horses are probably the King's cavalry."
After speaking, he looked at Rotten Tooth and saw him lying on the ground with a look of horror on his face: "No, that's not what happened when the horses in Guan Nei were running. These are Mongolian horses and Tatars. The Tatars are coming!"
"Tatars? Isn't Guancheng still there?"
Rotten Tooth picked up Deng San and said, "Stop talking nonsense and run for your life. I guarantee with my life that it must be the Tatars!"
On the other side of Shanhaiguan, a black torrent was seen with an unstoppable force, flowing straight into the pass from the South Water Gate, the North Water Gate, and the Guanzhong Gate. The torrent was divided into three and then converged into one. The arms of Guan Ning soldiers in Guan City were wrapped around each other.
Standing beside the street wearing a white cloth belt.
After this black torrent entered the pass, those whose arms were wrapped with white cloth were not killed, and the rest were crushed over.
After the Shun Army infantry who had broken through the North Wing City entered the city, they were advancing in formation with swords and shields in hand. The Guan Ning Army in front of them continued to retreat, and their situation was excellent.
From a corner not far away, a large number of cavalry suddenly emerged from the cavalry, all wearing cloth-covered iron-nailed armor, with tall horses riding high on their hips, and crashed straight into the direction of the infantry formation.
The infantry commander of the Shun army thought he was Wu Sangui's servant, and ordered the spearmen to line up in front, followed by the sword and shield men, preparing to confront the cavalry head-on.
"Fire arrows!" At the command, the last archers in the team fired arrows in unison.
The first rider was wearing white armor, which made him stand out.
Facing the flying arrows, he did not dodge or dodge. He swung the sword in his hand and chopped off the arrows that were shot at his face. The other arrows that hit him seemed to have hit the iron plate and fell softly to the ground.
.
The man let out a strange cry of "Ouch", and with his other hand he pulled out the hand ax from his waist and threw it towards the Shunjun infantry formation. The ax rotated rapidly and struck a spearman in the face.
The spearman opened his eyes wide, looked at the people next to him in horror, and fell back.
The flying axes of the white-armored Qing army were just the beginning. The cavalry behind them threw hand axes one after another. In the blink of an eye, the front row of the Shun army's infantry formation fell to the ground, wailing.
The commander of the soldiers realized something was wrong. The fighting method of this flying ax was not like that of the Ming army.
But it was too late. The two armies collided with each other, and the formation instantly shattered into powder. The commander of the soldiers only felt a slight light on his neck, and his head flew up and kept spinning.
Dorgon took a deep breath, exhaled it for a long time, opened his arms to embrace the sky, and shouted: "This is the breath of the Central Plains! How wonderful!"
Even Jierhalang, who usually doesn't deal with it, echoed: "It's wonderful! Hahaha."
Looking at the Shun Army formation opposite, they formed a long snake, stretching for more than twenty or thirty miles, and were fighting with the servants of the Guan Ning Army led by Gao Di.
Dorgon immediately arranged the formation, with his own formation on the left and Wu Sangui on the right, arranged in rows. Just as he was mobilizing his troops, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and dust flew up. Dorgon thought to himself, "God help me."
Taking advantage of the low visibility, they calmly set up their cavalry formation, but the soldiers in the distance still didn't notice them.
"Duduo, Azig obey the order and kill all Li Chuang."
After a moment, the wind stopped, and with Dorgon's order, the Qing army roared and attacked, with thousands of horses galloping and flying arrows like locusts.
The Shun army was attacked from both sides and was immediately in chaos. Someone shouted: "It's the braided soldiers, the braided soldiers are coming!"
Although they resisted desperately, the strength was changing. They had been fighting fiercely with Wu Sangui's army for a whole day and night, but when faced with a sneak attack by the Qing army who was waiting for work, they collapsed at the first touch.
Li Zili established his horse at Xiaobao and listened to the report from the deputy general. Liu Zongmin and his elite "Three Walls" were unable to defeat the Qing army head-on and suffered heavy losses. Liu Zongmin himself was also seriously injured and knew that the defeat was certain. He ordered the army to retreat quickly. Li Guangxian and Gu
Kecheng was ordered to cut off the rear and intercept the Qing army's pursuit.
During the early years of the rogue banditry, he lost many battles and practiced escaping and retreating. Coupled with the desperate efforts of the soldiers behind him to intercept them, Li Zicheng was able to retreat calmly.
Song Xiance heard from the fleeing soldiers that the braided soldiers were coming. He realized that the Qing army had entered the pass, grabbed a horse and fled alone, instead of following Li Zicheng's army. This chapter has been completed!
