Wu Sangui's 3,000-standard battalion rushed out of the gate. There are only 5,000 soldiers left in the Guannai now, including Wang Guozhong, the general manager of Wang Guozhong mentioned by Song Xiance.

Li Laiheng finally got rid of the 1,500 guards left behind by Dolgon. They lay down on a hillside near Jinzhou, pursuing the troops of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Mountain Warfare Division further south. They seem to have abandoned the pursuit of the mountain warfare division.

It is true that a lone force will not pose any threat to the Manchus, and their biggest task now is to enter the pass, followed by crushing Li Zicheng's main force, then to enter Beijing, and finally to occupy the entire great rivers and mountains in the pass.

The crown prince of Li Chongzhen is dreaming of the emperor! Dolgon smiled. Naive, really naïve! Wu Sangui actually proposed to appoint the crown prince as the new emperor, which is simply ridiculous.

But Dorgon vaguely agreed, but in his heart, Fulin, the son of that extremely beautiful woman, was the king of China. He was not in a hurry to say anything, nor was he in a hurry to express his position, he had already ordered the ministers who stayed behind to prepare to let Emperor Shunzhi take off and come to the Forbidden City in Beijing to be emperor. The Forbidden City in Beijing can be regarded as a real imperial palace, and imperial power can only be expressed in such a majestic palace.

Dolgon gave the order to Zhenghuang Qi, who was pursuing Li Laiheng's troops, to move south, and Sheng Jing's troops were more than enough to clean up the remnants of Li Laiheng.

Li Laiheng was thinking about the battle at Shanhaiguan. Today is the first and last day of the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and after a while, Li Zicheng will be defeated at Shanhaiguan. It's too late to go back and protect it now, so let's just stir up the world in the rear of the Manchus. Lee calculated more than a dozen possibilities.

Is it possible to collect all of Li Laiheng's corps and drive it into the rear of the Manchus? Find Lao Jiu as soon as possible, but now he is weak, and he only has a pitiful 300 men. Just when Li Laiheng was about to look for Lao Jiubu, a powerful army suddenly marched into Jinzhou City. What kind of army is this? Is it the Praetorian Guard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Is the Manchu emperor preparing to enter the customs?

Lee Rae-hyung has to figure this out. If it was the Manchu emperor who entered the customs, Li Laiheng sighed, if he hadn't replaced Luo Hu to attack the Jiang Nu Temple, it would have seemed to be providence for his army to fight against the Manchus. Now there is an opportunity for change, to rob and kill the Manchurian emperor. Li Laiheng no longer paid attention to the battle of Shanhaiguan, and he was ready to infiltrate Jinzhou City.

Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan went out, and he personally set out on the expedition. He knew that when the sun was in the west, Li Zicheng would end in a fiasco. Now he is personally out of the horse, just to show the majesty and fierceness of his Guan Ning army, and also to clean up this temporary chaos.

On the front of him is Liu Zongmin. On the hillside behind Liu Zongmin, it is Li Zicheng. He, Guan Ningjun, killed all the way over, and he could win, but he would lose both. He has to wait for the sun to turn west, and then Li Zicheng's troops will definitely be defeated, and if they chase and kill the past, there will not be too many casualties. Just after Wu Sangui left the customs, there was suddenly an uproar in Shanhaiguan. Wang Guozhong's troops raised the flag and occupied part of the Shanhaiguan wall.

Wu Sangui was taken aback, and thought: "There was a problem with the Hongyi cannon, and I was almost killed, and now there is an army mutiny, is it really the death of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Hold on. Back. ”

Wu Sangui issued two orders in succession. He ordered the troops attacking the Red Tile Shop to hold on and wait for the sun to go west. Ordered his standard battalion to fight back against the rebels in the pass.

Seeing that the time had come, Song Xiance quickly waved the military flag, issued a flag, and attacked on all fronts. Li Guo's troops had already begun to cross the Shihe, and the enemy opposite him had wavered. Gao Yigong also entered the battle, and he quickly seized the junction of Li Guo and Liu Zongmin's troops. Liu Zongmin bandaged his wounds, and he commanded the troops to attack with all their might. The enemy shook on all fronts, and a fierce battle began in the Sekinai. Wang Guozhong resisted hard, but it was very difficult.

"Li Shuangxi, lead 5,000 elite soldiers to support Ruhou!" Li Zicheng ordered.

"But, Your Majesty, then you only have three thousand Imperial Forest Army by your side. ”

Li Shuangxi originally led 8,000 Imperial Forest troops to protect Li Zicheng, but he could not use this army unless he had to. Now it's not a last resort, and it's a big advantage, so why use this force?

"Listen to the order!" Li Zicheng shouted.

Although Li Zicheng saw that his troops had the advantage, in the face of the advantage, with a little more force, he could turn the advantage into victory. He knew that ending the war as soon as possible was a major matter related to the fate of Dashun. He had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen. So he used most of the guards around him on the frontal battlefield, just to settle the battle as soon as possible.

It's been a whole morning, the enemy has lost more than half of its own casualties, and it is necessary to throw fresh forces into it.

Li Shuangxi didn't say anything more, he was in front of the majestic Li Zicheng, and more often than not, he was carrying out orders. His five thousand cavalry rushed at the enemy like the wind, and once again the enemy wavered, and the tide of battle turned in favor of victory.

Li Zicheng smiled. He estimated that in another half an hour, Wu Sangui would inevitably surrender. Li Zicheng looked at Song Xiance and admired it from the bottom of his heart. If the entire military arrangement is carried out in accordance with the regular deployment, without those few episodes, it is still difficult to predict the outcome of the attack.

"Strategist, do you think it's better to take Shanhaiguan and send someone to guard it?" asked Li Zicheng. He was thinking about the rest of the question, and the names of several people came to mind, but he couldn't make up his mind.

"Shanhaiguan is different from other passes, it is a task to defend and attack, so it must be a general. I'm thinking I can let Zhang Nai stay here. Song Xiance said.

"Well, Zhang Nai is good. Alas, why hasn't Lee Lai Heng heard from him yet? There won't be any surprises, right? I'm really a little worried. ”

"There is no news from Laiheng, which is expected. I'm relieved that he hasn't heard from him, and if there is a message, it means that they have encountered a strong enemy. For Laiheng, a strong enemy meant encountering Qing soldiers. Besides, I was worried that Wu Sangui would not be able to retreat, but now that he is almost in the nest, maybe he has already received some news from the Jiang Nu Temple. Song Xiance stroked his beard and said with a smile, looking confident.

Li Zicheng was relieved. Today, Wu Sangui was all dispatched, including himself, and it was likely that he learned that there was a big problem at the Jiang Numiao Temple, so he fought to the death. Li Zicheng smiled, he looked at the sky, and the sun began to turn west.

"Wu Sangui should have surrendered, right?" Li Zicheng said to himself.

At this time, the victory or defeat was already very clear, and the customs did not calm down, Wang Guozhong still had half of the men, using obstacles to resist to the death. Li Guo had completely crossed the Shihe River outside the Guan, and the enemy had lost most of his losses. Liu Zongmin's team has become more and less hits, and Li Shuangxi's 5,000 elites are like a whirlwind. The enemy is already in disarray.

Suddenly, on the east side of Shanhaiguan, a black crowd of people and horses appeared.

"Qing soldiers!" Li Zicheng exclaimed.

Li Zicheng's troops were in disarray. They did not have any mental preparation at all, and when they were about to win, a large group of Qing soldiers suddenly appeared, and Li Zicheng's troops became frightened.

The Qing soldiers who appeared in the east, as soon as they looked at the banners, understood that the full eight banners were to the five banners, and there were also the troops of the Mongolian eight banners. Definitely the enemy of superiority.

"Withdraw!"

This is the only decision that can be made. There can be no second option other than retreat. There is only one outcome to the decisive battle with the enemy here - the total annihilation of the army.

Liu Zongmin rushed over and shouted to Li Zicheng: "Brother Li, you go first, and I will break off with Li Guo." ”

Liu Zongmin reflexively fought back, he rushed into the Qing soldiers, and Li Guo also rushed into the Qing soldiers. Li Shuangxi and others surrounded Li Zicheng and retreated to Funing County.

"Hurry!"

It was getting dark. Li Zicheng's thousands of Imperial Forest troops had been galloping westward for several hours, and they had to enter Funing to hold on, and then flee in the direction of Beijing at dawn. It's a pity that Funing didn't leave a strong force behind, otherwise a defensive line could be formed here.

Li Guo and Liu Zongmin were still holding back the enemy, and even if they were able to escape, they would be defeated. They cannot be expected to organize another line of defense here. Funing could already see the city wall from a distance.

At this time, the horse from behind hurried to report that "You are waiting for Liu Zongmin to be seriously wounded! General Li Guo's army is defeated! General Gao Yigong is missing! General Zhang Nai's wounded!"

Then another fast horse said: "More than 100,000 Qing soldiers are chasing after me in the starry night! It's only more than ten miles away from here!"

It is very critical, more than ten miles away, and the fast horse can be reached in an instant. Li Zicheng had no troops available, and he would directly confront the Qing army of more than 100,000 with 5,000 Imperial Forest troops.

Li Zicheng raised his head and sighed: "Providence!"

"Your Majesty, a team of men and horses from the north is only three miles away. "Another military report.

There was a large team of men and horses in the north, Li Zicheng was frightened, at this time he was already cornered, and another group of men and horses, what would he do to fight?

Li Zicheng didn't expect this kind of ending. Over the past year or so, how could Li Zicheng, who has a million-strong army, ever think about failure? He is invincible, and soon he will dominate the world and become the king of the world. But when he took the last step to the highest peak, he didn't expect that this step would be in vain.

Stand on a low place, it doesn't matter if you step on the air, fall down, the injury is not serious, and get up again. He used to fall down a lot, and every time he got up, he didn't feel a lot of pain. But this time is different, this time he will be seriously injured if he falls, because he has already climbed to the top, and if he falls at the highest place, he may be crushed.

Li Zicheng was in a panic, he panicked.
