Chapter 196: Wu Sangui Suffers a Loss and Eats a Big Fortune (Ask for Subscription)
"Childe, Tongzhou is on fire......"
On the tower of Dongzhimen City, Li Yan woke up suddenly, walked quickly to the outside of the city tower, and saw that a fire was burning in the direction of the east. It really dyed the sky red.
The last Shun army in Tongzhou, when the Tartar front arrived at the city of Tongzhou, first burned the granary of Tongzhou, and then ran back to the capital in a smoke.
There is still a lot of grain in the granary. Even if it's just a few hundred thousand stones, not hundreds of thousands, millions of stones.
After all, it was the only remaining family of the Ming Dynasty, and when Zheng Zhilong retreated, there was no fire. Just like the granaries in the capital, they are all very well preserved. At that time, the grain reserves in the capital and Tongzhou were a big surprise to Li Zicheng, and the Dashun army ate horses and chewed in Gyeonggi, and it was effortless.
This time, Li Yan guarded the capital, that is, he worked hard to calamity food, squandered money, recruited troops and horses, prepared to roll wood and stones, prepared Jinzhi and so on. But Tartar and Wu Sangui came too quickly.
If he could be given another ten days, relying on the fermentation of public opinion, he might not be able to recruit a lot of young people from inside and outside Yanjing, instead of the few three or two thousand people now.
A cloak was placed on Li Yan's shoulder, and the red lady stood beside him with a sword. Looking at the fire in the direction of Tongzhou, his face was full of worry.
The situation in Yanjing City is very bad, Wu Sangui and the Manchu army pressed, Li Zicheng led the troops to flee in panic, and then there was the defeat of Shanhaiguan before, all of which showed that the battle situation was not good, and all of them showed that the Great Shun Dynasty was not good.
In such a panicked place, Li Yan only has these defeated soldiers in his hands, so how can it be good?
However, she knew that Li Yan had made up her mind, and since this was the case, the change could not be changed, so she would face it calmly. It's a big deal, take someone to protect Li Yan at a critical time, and fight a bloody way out!
The soldiers and horses in Li Yan's hands were all old men at the beginning of the incident, and they were all loyal.
The Qing soldiers had already arrived at the foot of the capital at dawn.
"The people in the city listened, this time my Eight Banners soldiers entered the pass and went south, and they were invited by Ping Xibo to enter the pass to exterminate the Liukou. Most of you are the Ming generals, who were surrendered to the enemy when Li Thief gained power, and now Li Thief Mountain Customs is defeated, and people have fled back to Guanzhong in embarrassment. Wait, but when? ”
"The regent of the Qing Dynasty has an order, and the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners go south, and there is no crime in the autumn. The so-called burning, the so-called enclosure, and the so-called shaving are all absurd. Tell Yuer and the others not to be deceived by others and resist the destiny of heaven, so that they lose their own lives and regret it too late......"
With the shouts of the city, arrows were shot towards the city, or fell directly into the city.
It's a pity that Dolgon couldn't contact the Fan family, if Fan Yongliang was still there, these notices would have been quietly approached in Yanjing City, how could he still use the soldiers to bend bows and shoot arrows?
In the early afternoon, the Manchu soldiers and horses arrived outside the city along with Wu Sangui's Guanning army. Wu Sangui didn't show up, but a group of bareheaded Guan Ningjun ran around Yanjing City, and their swarthy hair was not too conspicuous.
"Didn't the Zheng family say that Wu Sangui had shaved his hair up and down? Where did these people come from? ”
Tang Tong doesn't have the idea of 'anyway' now, because his grandson is still in Li Zicheng's hands. That's the only grandson he's had. After his son's death, Tang Tong now only has his grandson to count on. Therefore, it is not for nothing that Li Zicheng appointed him as Li Yan's deputy.
"Zheng Zhilong was born in a bandit, his mouth is full of firewood, and he makes a big statement, what is unusual?" Bai Guangen said so, as if he had forgotten that he was also a bandit in the first place. That Zheng Zhilong was recruited earlier than him!
"But in this way, the morale of the army in the city will inevitably be turbulent." Li Yan quickly ordered the confiscation of arrows and documents, but this matter could not be concealed at all. The more he collected, the more the soldiers and civilians spread the word.
Tang Tongyan sighed when he heard this, he and Bai Guangen are both veterans, how can they not feel the change in the atmosphere?
"Your Majesty has fled far away, leaving only the general to garrison the Beijing Division, and its meaning is obvious. Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven. Before, there was someone from the Zheng family who came to offer advice, and at first glance it was very feasible, but now the Tartar reacted and flatly denied it, which made the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city even more turbulent. Yanjing City is really difficult to protect. ”
"Hey, no. How did the Tartars know about the propaganda in the city? Isn't it a Tartar who has a fine work in the city? ”
Tang Tong said to himself, and he didn't notice that Bai Guangen's face behind him froze for a moment.
Yanjing City can't hold it, of course Yanjing City can't hold it. Since the moment Li Zicheng left Bai Guangen in Yanjing, this Yanjing City didn't want to be able to defend it.
In the Battle of Songjin, his son Bai Liangbi was captured, and he once wrote a letter to Bai Guangen to surrender, but Bai Guangen did not reply. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want his son.
It's just that under the circumstances at that time, he still chose Daming.
And now? What is the situation now?
Between Dashun and his son, does he still need to choose? What's more, Wu Sangui and Wang Yongji played the banner of borrowing teachers to help suppress, and he Bai Guangen opened the city at this time to surrender, that is, it is a big mistake, and it is not as good as Wu Sangui and Wang Yongji, the two national thieves and traitors in the mouth of Zheng Zhilong, right?
That night, Bai Guangen opened the Guangqu Gate, and a team of Yiding Turquoise rode into the city first, led by none other than his son Bai Liangbi. It's just that Bai Liangbi at this time is very different from Bai Liangbi at the beginning, he is dressed in a Tartar costume, and even his head has become a bald scoop and a money rat tail. Bai Guangen thought 'it's really ugly' in his heart, but he still hugged his son tightly after two years of separation, and he almost cried bitterly.
And the Yiding Tuqi who entered the city was led by Bai Liangzhu to rob Chongwenmen.
Guangqumen is the outer city, Chongwen Gate is the inner city, breaking the outer city, Li Yan still has room to show his strengths, but if even the inner city is broken, Li Yan will either die or surrender, or leave, there is no fourth way to go.
Tang Tong's eyes were stupid when he was awakened, why did Bai Guangen surrender to the Tartars without the slightest trace?
"Dashuai, now is not the time to think about this, what we want to think about now is where we should go!"
Is it a desperate battle for Dashun? Or run away now? Or surrender?
"Dashuai, now that the Chongwen Gate has been lost, the inner city has been opened, and Yanjing has no more to rely on. If you don't go, you'll be dead. ”
"Dashuai, let's fight Zheng Zhilong, fight Wu Sangui, and fight Shanhaiguan, and the eight thousand brothers fight so hard that there are only less than three thousand left, which is worthy of Li Zicheng."
"Let's go, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave......"
These people around Tang Tong did not persuade Tang Tong to surrender, after all, they all knew that Tang Tong's only grandson was still holding it in the palm of Li Zicheng's hand. And their families also withdrew with Li Zicheng to the west, so the thirty-six plans were the best.
Tang Tong also settled down at this time. "Go, go now. Dashun Tianzi still has most of the northern land in hand, and Cihou (Liu Fangliang) has also led the army south to Baoding, operating the North Zhili and the Central Plains, and the Tatars only occupy more of Gyeonggi. Judging from the current situation, Li Zicheng still has a lot to do.
The surrounding generals nodded their heads in agreement.
After all, just looking at the scene, Li Zicheng still sits on seventy or eighty percent of the territory in the north, and only the southeastern Guide area of the Central Plains is occupied by Xu Guozhong. Qilu's Ming army was also beaten by Guo Shengjun and couldn't raise his head. Then there are the western Jin, Guanzhong, and northwest, all of which are in Li Zicheng's control. And didn't Tatar and Wu Sangui only occupy one-third of an acre of land in Gyeonggi. There is also the nail of Zheng Zhilong on the side, and the general trend is still in Dashun.
"Boom, boom, boom......" There was a fierce battle in the inner city, and there were explosions one after another.
This is the arms that Zheng Zhilong sent to them, most of them are in the hands of Li Yan's headquarters, and Tang Tong and them are only divided a little.
"Kill the Tartars, Kill the Tartars......"
Repeated shouts called Don to inform him whose team it was, and a beautiful figure flashed in his mind, that is really a big beauty, don't catch it in the hands of the Tartars.
"Let's go, tell the brethren that the grenade will open the way, and we will fight our way out."
Tang Tong shouted violently, but it shocked the spirits of the soldiers around him. And the addition of its subordinates also made the battle in the infield more intense.
Li Yan's face was pale, and he was so bad that he still asked Li Zicheng to stay in Yanjing, what was the result? In just one night, the city was broken?
"The prime minister has to blame himself. The blame for this matter lies with Bai Guangen, if it wasn't for the greed for life and fear of death, how could Yanjing City be broken so easily? The red lady was busy persuading Li Yan.
At the same time, they looked anxiously ahead, Desheng Gate was in front of them, and after Desheng Gate, they rushed out of Yanjing City.
It is impossible for the huge Yanjing City Tartars to spread soldiers and horses to surround it. What's more, at this time, there are Tartars stationed outside the Desheng Gate, so they can only rush.
Wu Sangui's Yi Ding suddenly rode into Chongwen Gate and rushed straight to Li Yan's mansion to kill, which shows how thoroughly Bai Guangen bought him.
Li Yan's soldiers and horses directly clashed with the Yiding Tucai, not some grenades, plus this army is a veteran of Li Yan's uprising, they are all old men who have led the army for many years, and the military spirit is consolidated, I am afraid that it will not collapse early.
The red lady took Li Yan and ran to Desheng Gate in the north of the city. I prayed in my heart that there weren't too many Tartar soldiers outside, otherwise it would be really difficult.
But such hope was not in the number of Tartar soldiers and horses she saw in the daytime and Wu Sangui's pursuers, but in her deep belief that Zheng Zhilong of Jinmen was not a turtle. In fact, the Zheng Junshui division floating outside the Shanhai Pass did make Dolgon's face ugly.
Zheng Sen divided the warship and went north with great fanfare. Dolgon's face was dead.
The defects on the waterway really made him uncomfortable like the leaking door.
There was also a voice in the Eight Banners shouting to return to the lair. How is that possible?
But it was true that Zheng Sen's move did cause some trouble to Dolgon, and Zheng Zhilong of Jinmen asked people to lead his troops to easily repel a group of Eight Banners advancing from Luanzhou along the coastline to Beitang.
Although Tulai didn't fight at all, when he saw Zheng Zhilong's posture, he took the initiative to retreat with the men and horses of the two yellow flags.
But it also means how tense the relationship between the Manchus and Zheng Zhilong was.
Not to mention, that Guerjia Ganglin was cut off by Zheng Zhilong in front of the two yellow flags in front of the battle. What about the two countries that said that they would not fight each other?
When Dolgon heard the news, he was furious and killed the two waiters around him that day.
He asked Ganglin to go to Jinmen with his handwritten letter, the purpose of which was to communicate with Jinling through Jinmen, so that he could enter the customs under the banner of 'borrowing teachers to help suppress', and get the recognition and authorization of Emperor Chongzhen. In this way, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty wants to sweep the northern land, those local officials will definitely cooperate a lot. And how much can reduce Zheng Jun's pressure on them, but now?
Dolgon really hated Zheng Zhilong.
If the matter of borrowing the help of the division to suppress it cannot be made clear, the Eight Banners will not only be restrained by Zheng Zhilong, but will they also occupy one place and fight? It is true that the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty are very elite, but the number is also very small. In the previous battle of Shanhaiguan, the two armies were killed in a sea of corpses, although they defeated the army assembled by Li Zicheng, but they also suffered a lot of losses.
Thousands of them, and Dolgon was distressed when he heard this.
This has to be fought all the way, I'm afraid that half of the northern land will not be able to take it, and he will have to roll back to the gate in disgrace.
……
"Boom, boom, boom......"
A series of huge explosions almost collapsed the bell tower and the drum tower.
The Yiding Tuqi who was chasing and killed was also overturned on the back of the bombed man.
But before Li Yan retreated, he secretly arranged buckets of medicinal powder on Deshengmen Street, and called the dead soldiers to stay in the dark, and after they left, when the pursuers chased after them, they detonated buckets of medicinal powder. As a result, the Yiding Tuqi who was in hot pursuit was unlucky.
As soon as they and Li Yan retreated, the explosion range was unfortunately enveloping them.
Blood splattered in all directions, and stumps and severed arms were thrown away, staining large swaths of the ground red.
For a while, the screams of the Wu army's soldiers and horses overwhelmed the drums, horns, and shouts of killing on the entire battlefield!
At this moment, Wu Sangui can suffer a lot of losses.
