Chapter 12: Heroes of the Battlefield Sympathize with Each Other
"This Li Yan is really bold, handsome, the last general will ask for orders to stop Li Yan. Cao Wenzhao was the first to ask for help.
"Dashuai, I'll go!" Wu Sangui also hurriedly said. In fact, both of them understand that it is not a good errand to stay and block, there are only more than 1,000 people in Guan Ningjun's entry into Beijing this time, and even if Cao Wenzhao's men and horses are added, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people, except for the necessary guards, there are not many people to block, not to mention that Li Yan's reinforcements are constantly reinforced, so it is definitely more auspicious to stay.
"Let me go!"
"Let me go!" the two scrambled to recommend themselves.
Wang Feng waved his hand, "This must be done by me personally, Wen Zhao, you quickly take the family members to Tianjin, where there has been a big ship waiting for a long time." ”
"Big brother. After instructing Cao Wenzhao, Wang Feng immediately turned back to Wu Sangui and said, "The location of Shanhaiguan is important, there is no room for loss, I don't worry about delivering it to others, this is still a hard trip by the eldest brother, and the Tartars must not be allowed to take advantage." ”
"Dashuai!" Wu Sangui and Cao Wenzhao heard that Wang Feng had arranged this way and wanted to persuade them again, but they were stopped by Wang Feng.
"Time is running out, let's do it!"
"Yes. Seeing that Wang Feng had made up his mind, the two didn't say anything, turned their horses' heads and galloped away, leaving only Wang Feng and more than 5,000 horsemen to resist the pursuers.
Li Yan and the others hurriedly caught up with Wang Feng's large army, and when they saw Wang Feng's more than 5,000 horsemen waiting for them from a distance, Li Yan didn't have time to give the order to rest, but he only heard the roar of the earth, the thick smoke billowing on the opposite side, and the shouting of killing was deafening.
Wang Feng knew that he had no advantage in numbers, so he didn't wait for Li Yan to set up the formation, so he hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to cover up and kill the past.
Wang Feng left behind are first-class cavalry masters, these people have been fighting on the front line of the battle with the Tartars all year round, it can be said that they are all veterans of a hundred battles, and on the other hand, the Liukou side is also the newly built cavalry not long ago, it can be said that it is just an infantry with horses, and they have not received orthodox training in cavalry at all, plus the long-distance pursuit just now, a charge, the height is immediately effective, Wang Feng's side only left a few corpses, and the Liukou fell down with a charge, nearly a hundred people.
This can be said to be Li Yan's first real battle with Guanning Iron Cavalry, this first encounter surprised Li Yan, this Guanning Iron Cavalry is not unreasonable to call the first in the Ming Dynasty, this charge is still in the case of the superiority of the number of people, if it is replaced by the number of equals, Li Yan dare not imagine.
Li Yan hurriedly turned his horse's head, and in order to prevent the Guanning Iron Cavalry from charging again, he hurriedly came out and shouted loudly to the opposite side, "I am the Great Shunquan General Li Yan invited the Governor of Daming Jiliao, Wang Feng, to talk about it." ”
Li Yan has no way to do this, although the number is superior now, but it is not an overwhelming advantage, Li Yan is not sure that this Guanning iron cavalry will be eaten at all, even if it is eaten, then these cavalry of Dashun will also suffer heavy losses, Dashun has not been able to save such a little money for so many years, if he loses all the battles here, Li Yan does not dare to imagine what Li Zicheng's expression will be, so in order to wait for the reinforcements of Liu Zongmin's army, Li Yan had to resort to this delaying strategy.
Of course, Wang Feng knew what Li Yan was planning in his heart, but Wang Feng also had his own concerns, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was an armed force that the Ming Dynasty had spent several generations of hard work to establish, each of which was extremely precious, and this was also the capital of him Wang Feng based on the Ming Dynasty in the future, Wang Feng didn't want to break them here. Although the charge just now, the Guan Ning army had the advantage, but Wang Feng knew that this was because he was caught off guard by the Liukou, if he really had a hard fight with the Liukou, the Guan Ning Army would definitely not take any advantage, originally Wang Feng also planned to use a delaying strategy, but now this Li Yan is in his own arms, Wang Feng is willing to be a favor.
"It turned out to be General Li, I don't know what General Li has to say. For Li Yan, Wang Feng still cherishes his talent, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong person.
"Wang Dashuai. Li Yan arched his hand, "It is said that this Guan Ning Iron Rider is the first in the world, today Wang Dashuai really made me Li have a lot of knowledge, but it's a pity that Lord Wang has a talent but doesn't know the destiny of heaven." ”
"Destiny?" Wang Feng sneered, "I don't know what Lord Li's destiny is, I, Wang Feng, am willing to listen to it." ”
"Wang Dashuai actually knows it, so why pretend to be confused?" Like Wang Feng, Li Yan also values Wang Feng's talent, if he can persuade Wang Feng to surrender, then Dashun will be like a tiger with wings.
"The so-called change of dynasties is a constant, this Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, if the imperial court can be sympathetic to the people, then such a court is certainly worthy of our support, but you look at what the current imperial court is like? The eunuch party is chaotic, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are not living well, what is the use of such a court not overthrowing and keeping? Wang Dashuai, can you tell us?"
Wang Feng was not surprised by Li Yan's rhetoric, after all, many things have rotted to the root in the more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but this is not a reason for them to rebel.
"I really have a lot of drawbacks, but I Chongzhen Emperor has worked hard to eradicate the eunuch party at a young age, and he is even more concerned about the people and the emperor, trying to reproduce the glory of my Ming Dynasty, but what have you chaotic people done? Not only do you not want to serve the country, but also coerce the chaotic people to fight against the court for their own selfish interests, how many innocent people have died under the chaotic knife, it is you people who have disturbed the world and made the bones heavy, do you still not know what is wrong?" Wang Feng was not frightened by Li Yan's set of rhetoric, but instead fought-for-tat.
"But now that the victory and defeat have been divided, and the Ming Dynasty has been defeated, why should Wang Dashuai disobey the mandate of heaven and oppose my Dashun, why should the Dashuai save the irretrievable Daming and fight against the irreversible Dashun? Seeing that reasoning was not good, Li Yan directly lured him.
"Haha! Master Li, do you think that my current official in the Ming Dynasty is still young? Can you still let me sit in the position of emperor in the Dashun Emperor? Brothers, you say that if this Dashun Emperor is really so generous, do you think I should consider it?" Wang Feng turned back and shouted to the brothers behind him.
"Haha!" Wang Feng's words provoked everyone behind him to laugh.
Wang Feng's words made Li Yan angry half to death, but he was helpless. I only thought that Liu Zongmin's reinforcements would arrive soon.
Just as the two were chatting unhappily, smoke and dust suddenly billowed from the east, and a cavalry was rushing towards the battlefield.
"It's not good, retreat quickly!" Li Yan did not wait for the long-awaited reinforcements, but the other party's reinforcements arrived first, which frightened Li Yan and quickly led his troops to retreat.
