Li Zicheng's retreat was somewhat flustered, which had something to do with Dolgon's close follow-up. Hao Shaoqi and Gu Ying's troops retreated from Funing, and the Qing soldiers pressed forward step by step, until they pursued to the vicinity of Tongzhou.

The Dashun army completely knocked down the morale in the first battle of Shanhaiguan, so as soon as they heard that the Qing soldiers were approaching the city, they were in a panic.

"Can't it go on like this?"

"Well, then how about we let the Qing soldiers enter the outskirts of Beijing and win a battle to boost morale?" Li Laiheng suddenly showed a murderous aura in his eyes.

Dolgon couldn't help but feel strange when he learned that all of Li Zicheng's troops in Tongzhou had suddenly entered the city, and that their entry into the city of Beijing could be said to be unimpeded.

"The enemy's retreat is so flustered?"

Dorgon thought, "Shall we point our swords at the gates of Peking? ”

Dolgon ordered: "The three flags of the white flag, the yellow flag, and the blue flag are advancing at full speed, and the two Mongolian banners and Wu Sangui's troops will follow until the city of Beijing, let go of the west gate and not surround it, and the other city gates will be tightly blocked." ”

Before a part of the Dashun army that was about to retreat had time to withdraw, it suddenly found that except for the west gate, the other city gates were besieged by Qing soldiers in the early morning of the next day, and they were all shocked.

Li Zicheng was also frightened, and he blamed Li Laiheng in his heart, how could he let the enemy enter quickly? Why did the defenders of Tongzhou go? How did he know that the Qing soldiers were deliberately let in by Li Laiheng, and he was ready to make a show of prestige outside Beijing so that the low morale could be boosted.

Li Laiheng prepared to meet the enemy at the south gate. ”

Li Zicheng's personal soldiers sent Li Laiheng's report: "General Zhendong said that the emperor and the ministers are invited to watch the battle at the south gate. ”

"What the hell?" Li Zicheng asked himself why? It soon became clear that this was to boost morale.

"Okay! Minister of Culture and Martial Affairs, go to the south of the city to watch the battle. Li Zicheng gave the order.

"Where do you get the heart to watch the battle now?"

From Shaanxi, everyone is empty-handed, just leave, and you can leave at any time in the middle of the night. Now I want to go back, not to mention the silver taels and jewels on my body, there are many people who have been rewarded by the emperor with women, one person in the past, and now a family, I have to run away, and there is a lot of preparation.

But now the emperor has decreed that everyone should go to the south of the city to watch the battle, and if they win, they will have no chance to escape. The courtiers were in a very complicated mood, there was no way, it was better to follow the order to watch the battle, and when they left, they instructed their subordinates to hurry up their preparations, maybe they would have to flee for their lives at any time.

Liu Zongmin's injuries were much better, and it was inexplicable to hear Li Zicheng tell him to watch the battle. Now that the Qing soldiers are besieging the city, half of the troops who want to leave the city have not had time to leave the city, and only one-third of the troops transporting silver are on the road, and the 20,000 taels of silver are the wealth of the Dashun Empire.

Niu Jinxing was even more trembling, he just started to do it, he didn't expect to run for thousands of miles, and he was lamenting that there was something wrong with his fate, and he suddenly received a holy decree to watch the war, and he was not afraid to be angry. Niu Venus's current belongings are not of ordinary scale. Gradually, the southern city of Beijing was full of military generals, and Li Zicheng sat on the dragon chair with a canopy on his head.

Outside the city is the main force of Dolgon's Zhengbai Banner, and there are more than 10,000 Mongolian elite soldiers, he saw that there seemed to be a lot of civilian officials in the city, and thought to himself that maybe Li Zicheng was also here, just here to show his combat strength, and then scare them, so that their military morale would all collapse. Therefore, he instructed his subordinates that if there is a battle in the city today, everyone should work hard to kill the enemy's generals, and put out a huge reward, and those who kill a soldier will be given a knight, and those who kill a captain will be promoted to one level, and those who kill one general will be promoted to two ranks, and those who kill the enemy's chief general will be promoted to three ranks.

Leading the way today is the Mongol soldier Hada. He was known as the Eagle in the Mongolian steppe and was hailed as the god of the army by the Mongolian soldiers. He led 10,000 troops, the most formidable of the Mongol troops. Hada didn't get a chance in the Shanhaiguan battle last time, and his hands were itching, and today he wanted to show himself in front of Dolgon, and insisted on taking the lead. Dolgon had also heard that Hada was brave and good at fighting, and that he was superior in battle among the Eight Banners of Mongolia, so it was exactly what he wanted to let him kill Li Zicheng's troops. Dorgon wasn't worried about surprises.

He had seen Li Zicheng's combat power at Shanhaiguan, if he hadn't been stopped and delayed by a group of infantry who could dig trenches in Funing, coupled with the fact that the Empress Dowager was frightened in Jinzhou, and Shengjing was stirred up by Li Laiheng, he would have hit Beijing a long time ago.

Li Zicheng's troops are not many, and his troops in Beijing now are a little more than when he was in Shanhaiguan, and they will not exceed 100,000. Morale, in particular, is not what it used to be. Dolgon's spies came with a flood of news that Beijing was already panicking. This kind of soldier is vulnerable.

Of course, Dorgon knew that there was a very powerful army, Li Laiheng. But when the general trend is gone, no matter how powerful a person is, can he change the trend? Even if Li Laiheng personally fights today, Dolgon doesn't care.

"Hada, the enemy's main general today may be Li Laiheng, if you can cut off his head and promote you to king. Dolgon said to Hada, who was in his thirties.

"Li Laiheng, wow, Lord Wang, I just hope to meet him. I'm going to cut off his head and make a wine cup out of his skull to drink. ”

Hada had also heard of Li Laiheng's name, but he was jealous and angry that a man who was only in his twenties should enjoy such a high reputation, and he thought, "Lao Tzu, let you see the skills of my Mongolian eagle." ”

This sentence is not entirely bragging, maybe Hada has this ability, and people with this kind of combat power are not common in any army.

In the city of Beijing, a cavalry marched from west to south along the root of the city wall, between Dolgon and the city wall of Beijing. Unexpected way of deploying troops, this army lined up with its back against the city wall, not much, 10,000 people. Soon, however, 10,000 infantry on the city wall came down from the city, and their weapons were shovels. Many Manchu soldiers had enough of their losses.

This group of shovel-wielding infantry fought very unusually, they were fighting, and suddenly they might dig up dirt and do something to fly the sand and rocks, and now it was this group of soldiers who stood in the way. Dorgon's more than 30,000 men marched 3,000 steps out of the city. All of them are cavalry, mighty and majestic, and there is no one who has led soldiers who is not frightened, and everyone knows that there are very few chances of victory in a war with this kind of soldier.

Hada's 10,000 cavalry slowly came out, and they stopped at a distance of two thousand paces. Dorgon was on a makeshift lookout, looking out toward the main battlefield. The south gate of the city of Beijing was wide open, and the three hundred horsemen stood out, and they did not stop until they broke through in front of the infantry. This is Li Laiheng and his three hundred elites.

Hada rode forward three hundred paces on his own, and suddenly turned back to his own formation. He's demonstrating, he's showing off his horsemanship.

Li Laiheng smiled slightly. He looked left and right, the two newly selected assistants, Luo Si and Wang Hu, they are both newly named, they are only eighteen years old this year, and they have been with Li Laiheng for two years, and they are now their substitutes as the adopted sons of Wang Si and Luo Hu.

"Luo Si, play a hand!"

Luo Si's war horse is Luo Hu's war horse, a purebred Western war horse, tall and mighty. "Whew!" he clamped his legs, and the red war horse rushed forward like a fly. He did not stop, and in an instant he rushed to a distance of fifty paces from the Hada troops, when he suddenly made a sharp stop, raised his hand, and shot ten throwing knives at the ten cavalrymen in front. With the fall of the ten people, Luo Si had already turned around and ran a stone's throw away.

A Mongolian lieutenant general was furious and chased after him. Wang Hu rushed forward head-on. The two horses intersected, and did not change positions again, Wang Hu turned around, a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth, he held a steel knife, the tip of which was still dripping with blood. The Mongolian lieutenant had several strands of red blood spurting from his neck like an irregular fountain, and he held on for a moment before falling headlong into his horse.

Hada was furious and prepared to fight, and one of the generals beside him slapped his horse out and went straight to Wang Hu, who was preparing to fight again.

"Brother, leave this to me!" Luo Si slapped out.

The Mongolian general had two scimitars, snow-white and shiny, and he knew at first sight that they were so-called treasure knives. Luo Si didn't compete with him in knife skills, he saw the place where the knife was cut, and as soon as the horse was handed over, he slashed sideways according to his own will, and didn't pay attention to what tricks the Mongolian general's scimitar played, he only instinctively dodged, and the two scimitars were empty.

The Mongol general was puzzled that someone could ignore his scimitar. In the past, all opponents would try their best to catch his two scimitars, but the young general in front of him did not take the knife at all, but swept his knife across.

The skin on his neck had a momentary sharp pain, but soon it didn't hurt, his brain was empty, a fluttering pleasure, and then he understood what was going on, the blood vessels, nerves, and muscles in his neck were separated by this sweep, and when a person knew that he was almost dead, the only thing he could do was to collapse.

Hada, who killed two generals in a row, was furious. He shouted, "Take your life!"

"Wang Hu, Luo Si, get out of the way!" Li Laiheng slowly walked out.

His horse ran with broken steps, as if it were wandering. Hada rushed abruptly, and at the moment when Hada rushed to his eyes, Li Laiheng's white horse suddenly took off, and Li Laiheng jumped up from his horse again, floating high in the air, and he instinctively dodged Hada's slash. Li Laiheng's sword, a stab, a beautiful arc drew a circle. He landed and sat firmly on the white horse.

Hada's head is split in two from the center. Lee Rae-hyung did not attack, he returned to his own position. Between the two formations, three corpses, all killed with one hit. Dorgon was stunned.

This ancient way of playing against each other decided the winner in an instant. Three to zero, only three moves each.

On the city wall, there was not a single sound, and all the people held their breath until the three corpses lay motionless on the ground.
