In order to prevent the Qing troops in the village from escaping, in order to prevent their screams from startling the people around them. Zhang Yuan surrounded the village with 1,000 people, preventing any of them from escaping, and he had already cleared all the people within a dozen kilometers of the village. Make sure nothing goes wrong.

Only by giving the enemy a surprise attack, in this way can casualties be minimized.

The five hundred enemies were quickly eliminated, and several of his men and horses were lost, and a few tripped and broke their knees because it was dark. Zhang Yuan asked the soldiers to light torches, and thousands of torches burned in an instant. It's like daylight.

"Burn all the corpses. It's summer, and if you leave a corpse, you might cause a plague. "The decomposition of corpses may cause infectious diseases, which Liu Xia constantly emphasized in the army, not to mention that it is already summer, and hundreds of corpses cannot be gathered together to decompose.

"General, what about the corpses of our people?" A general asked.

Zhang Yuandao: "Carry it back to Lushun and burn it into ashes, put it in the urn, wait for a piece to be brought back to Luoyang, let them sleep in peace [Battle Spirit Mausoleum], and never give up a brother, every brother who dies in battle must enjoy the highest honor." Enjoy offerings for generations. ”

Zhang Yuan's words made the blood of those soldiers boil.

"Rest the brothers, send scouts to the rear troops, and let them come quickly. Let's march before dawn! ”

Jinzhouwei is not far from Shenyang, but it is not easy to walk. In the northeast, there are many small hills. One hill after another. And the geology of Dalian is not good. Otherwise, it would not have been repaired for many years, and it has not been repaired until now. Repaired a section and collapsed a section -

Beijing

The commanders of the Blue Dragon Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion, Wang Shi and Zhang Liang, went out of the camp for ten miles to welcome Li Wen's arrival, in fact, they did not respect Li Wen so much, but because Li Wen held Liu Xia's military order in his hand. It is equivalent to the emperor's holy decree, so they must come forward to greet it.

Li Wen then gave them Liu Xia's letter of appointment, which surprised them.

"North China Travel Division? What is this thing, how have I never heard of it. Wang Shishi looked at the letter of appointment, a little puzzled, this is not to blame him, in fact, Wang Shishi is a simple-minded, super strong person. The reason why Wang Shishi was appointed as the commander of the Northern Xingdu Division was actually to consider Wang Shishi's prestige, although he did not have much resourcefulness, but his military force was very high, so that his prestige in the army was also very high. Zhang Liang is a bit of a brain, but his prestige is not a little lower than that of this king stone.

Let Zhang Liang serve as the deputy commander, the meaning is obvious, that is, let Zhang Liang assist Wang Shi to jointly manage the North China Xingdu Division.

"Didn't the prince establish a northwestern capital a few days ago? Da Zhuang is the commander of the Northwest Division, and the reason why the prince established the Northwest Division is to allow Liu Dazhuang to better recover the Western Regions. Now the prince has set up the North China Travel Division, which is also to allow us to attack Beijing more efficiently. ”

Zhang Liang thought about it and said to Wang Shi, although he didn't know if what he said was accurate, he could still guess that Liu Xia was thinking. After all, if two corps commanders of the same level are united, there will definitely be contradictions if there are no superiors and subordinates.

After handing over the military order, Li Wen began to officially take up the post of military advisor in the headquarters of the North China Xingdu Division, although his military rank is a little smaller than that of this Wang Shishi, but his rights are very great, because Liu Xia let him take charge of the planning tasks of the North China Xingdu Division and the Northeast Xingdu Division, which is a great right.

"Master Li, come in quickly." Zhang Liang was full of smiles, and hurriedly showed Li Wen the way, Wang Shishi was a stone, and his face was indifferent. Except for Liu Xia, basically no one asked him to be respectful. Even if it was Liu Dazhuang and Zhang Yuan, Wang Shishi was just polite to them, not respectful.

When they all returned to the camp, it was almost dark, and from the camp they could see the lights of the city of Beijing.

"We have tentatively attacked the city of Beijing three times, and each time Dorgon's defenses have become weaker and weaker, and now the artillery on the city of Beijing has basically been bombed and destroyed by him. So they already have no long-range attack artillery. I don't know what Dolgon is holding onto, but in a few days, once we attack on a large scale, the city of Beijing will definitely be breached. Zhang Liang gave Li Wen a detailed introduction to their work these days.

At this moment, Zhang Yang, the deputy commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion, had already taken office, and there was no longer him here.

Li Wendao: "Now that we have an army going to Liaodong, Liu Xia has established the Fire Phoenix Legion, led by Zhang Yang, and will soon go around from the Mongolian Plateau to the rear of Beijing. The whole of Beijing was soon surrounded on all sides.

The reason why Dolgon defended the city and did not surrender is that according to the information we have received, Dolgon has collected 100,000 soldiers and horses from the Mongols and Liaodong, and is now coming to Beijing as soon as possible. It was precisely in order to wait for the arrival of his reinforcements that Dolgon held on to Beijing, and he probably still had a little hope in his heart at this moment, hoping that after the arrival of the 100,000 army, he would defeat us and even regain the world. But Dolgon didn't know, we have sent 20,000 soldiers and horses deep into Liaodong, according to the news from the dragon group, ninety percent of the relatives of those Tartars were transferred to Shenyang, Liaodong, once Shenyang was broken north, the Tartars in Beijing must be panicked, even the 100,000 reinforcements are estimated to be demoralized and have no combat effectiveness. ”

Li Wen said that, Wang Shishi and Zhang Liang both had bright eyes, and now they were more confident in defeating the Tartars.

"Xiao Yang's kung fu is very amazing. He had fought with the Mongols for several years before, and the Mongols were so frightened that they fled thousands of miles when they heard the rumors. This time, Xiao Yang formed the Fire Phoenix Legion and returned to Mongolia, which would definitely be able to deter the Mongolian cavalry who came to aid the Tartars. ”

In the middle of Beijing

A smile finally appeared on Dorgon's face, the first time he had smiled in days. He was holding a letter in his hand, and it was a secret military intelligence letter.

His reinforcements were coming in two days, and the first to arrive was the Mongol cavalry of the Horqin steppe, with 10,000 men and horses, which Dolgon had fought hard to overcome. The remaining 90,000 soldiers and horses will arrive in another four or five days. After all, the road is relatively long, and you need to be dizzy with a lot of baggage, so you can't walk fast.

"The king's reinforcements are coming, so let you jump for a few more days, and when the soldiers and horses arrive, it will be your end!" Dorgon was very confident in his reinforcements, tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry, how powerful was that? Ten thousand horses are running together, and think of Dolgon's pride.

"Someone! What changes have occurred to the Ming army now? With that, a man dressed in black stepped out.

I saw him say to Dolgon: "Back to the prince, according to the information we have, there are still two of the three so-called legions originally stationed outside our city of Beijing, and as for the other one, we don't know where they are now, and we haven't found out where they went. "The Pingbei Army has done a good job of secrecy, and their information is still a few months ago.

Dorgon said, "Don't know where to go? Could it be that he was transferred to the south to resist Wu Sangui? However, Wu Sangui is now entangled by Li Dingguo, and he has no ability to provoke Liu Xia anymore, or does Liu Xia want to solve Wu Sangui, so he secretly sent troops over? Dolgon thought of all possibilities, but he just didn't expect Liu Xia to send a legion to Liaodong.

"Yes, we will definitely find out that army as soon as possible."

Dolgon thought for a moment and said: "Gather all the Han people in the city now, let them take up arms, once the city is broken by the enemy, let these Han people block it, this king wants to see if he Liu Xia dares to bombard their people." With that, a sneer appeared on Dolgon's lips. Sometimes the human wall, which doesn't look very tall, is stronger than the tall, sturdy steel boulder wall. At least in Dorgon's opinion, a nation that knows how to act etiquette will definitely not fire at its own people, otherwise Liu Xia will be scolded by all the Han people.
