More than half an hour later, Lin Yi's men and horses caught up with Hao Shaoqi's team, and the two sides were united, resting on the spot to restore their combat strength as soon as possible.

At this time, it was already dark, and the night was like a black curtain, and the stars in the sky were like jewels adorned with black curtains, blinking their cunning eyes at Lin Yi and them.

Lin Yi asked the team to stop.

"Brother Lin, why did you stop here? Is it still forty miles from the mountains and seas? ”

Lin Yi gently scratched her upturned nose with his second thumb, "Aren't you tired?" Look, there's sweat on my nose. ”

This made Zhezhe purse his lips and laugh.

Xiao Ying didn't laugh, and said very seriously: "Brother Lin, don't interrupt, I think we should march in a hurry, instead of delaying the fighter here?" ”

"Oh, tell me, what kind of fighter is in front of you?"

"Needless to say, Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui, and Dolgon are fighting at Shanhaiguan, and we have a surprise soldier to descend from heaven and clean up all three of them in one fell swoop, this is called praying mantis catching cicadas, sparrows, oh no, it's yellow finch, yellow finch is behind."

Xiao Ying said that she was shaking her head.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, "Well, Ruzi can be taught, and there is a lot of progress." But it's not too late for everyone to take a break, fill their stomachs and go again, so let the three of them fight first. ”

"Then if one of them wins, won't it be too late for us to go?"

"Hmph, don't worry, it's not too late. Because they can't finish halfway, because these three families can fight one by one, and if no one interferes, it is estimated that they will have to fight until dawn. It's a pity that it's not daytime, otherwise we would have gone earlier, secretly giving them an audience, it's a pity not to see such a wonderful shot, but now it's too early to see it, it's better to let the brothers have a good rest here, eat and drink enough, and then clean them up, forty miles, at most half an hour will be there, if it is close to it is easy to be exposed, what do you say? ”

"Well, it's still Brother Lin who thinks thoughtfully." Xiaoying couldn't stop nodding.

After convincing Xiaoying, Lin Yi ordered the Huotou battalion to start burying pots and cooking, and then used this opportunity to let Hao Shaoqi, He Renlong, Ma Shiying and Yuan Shu select the elite, at least 30,000, and all the cavalry were required.

The 70,000 horses that Lin Yi brought this time are the elite of the elite, needless to say, the standard battalion, the invincible battalion, and the musket battalion, these three battalions are 15,000 men and horses, and they are all cavalry, these three battalions do not need to be picked, all of them participate, and then select 15,000 elite cavalry from the remaining battalions, including Fengyang soldiers and Henan soldiers, after the 30,000 elite cavalry are selected, the meal is also ready, and the soldiers of each battalion begin to eat.

At this time, the day was already approaching the second watch, Lin Yi felt that it was almost over, let the 30,000 elite cavalry advance lightly, the main of the 30,000 cavalry would be Hao Shaoqi, He Renlong, and the deputy generals who accompanied him were Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, Dongsheng, Wang Qi, Yuan Shu and Ma Luan.

In the night, 30,000 horses were like black lightning, and they swept by like a swift wind.

The remaining 70,000 horses were personally led by Ma Linyi, in addition to Lin Yi's guards and women's battalions, most of them were infantry, including grain and grass baggage battalions, etc., these 30,000 horses were in the rear and were pressing the rear formation, and the 100,000 Ming troops were driving towards Shanhaiguan one after the other......

Just after the second watch, the 30,000 elites of Lin Yi's forward troops arrived outside Shanhaiguan, and how far away they heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the rumbling cannons, and the firelight illuminated the sky in front of them red.

If you don't take it, you will get lost, because there are too many guides in Lin Yi's standard camp, and these old troops of the Guanning Iron Cavalry are familiar with the terrain of Shanhaiguan, and they will not go wrong with their eyes closed.

Only a few miles away from the battlefield, according to Lin Yi's instructions, Hao Shaoqi and He Renlong immediately divided their troops, the two generals each took half of the men, Hao Shaoqi took 15,000 iron cavalry to kill a Shiguan City, the accompanying deputy generals were Dongsheng, Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan, the remaining 15,000 iron cavalry was led by He Renlong, and the accompanying generals were Wang Qi, Yuan Shu, Ma Luan, etc., Hao Shaoqi and He Renlong agreed to take Guancheng, and then annihilate the enemy as much as possible, the enemy army mentioned here includes the Dashun army, Wu Sangui's traitor troops and Dolgon's Qing soldiers, The iron discipline is to save those who surrender from death, with the exception of Tartars and traitors.

At this time, Lin Yi's army was still twenty miles away from them, half an hour's journey, and after the two generals were dispatched, they parted ways at the Shuangyang fork, and under the night, the two iron horsemen were like two dragons, rolling towards the two gates......

Originally, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin had a good impression of Wu Sangui, don't look at him not surrendering at the beginning, he had to fall out with Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin because of a woman who was ruined, and the two sides also fought a battle, one guarded the pass, the other tackled the problem, and there were casualties among each other. But then Wu Sangui finally wanted to open it, as soon as the Manchu Tartars came, he knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels, and he could only protect himself by joining forces with Dashun, and a woman would be insignificant at this time. But then again, being able to give up the woman he loves and cooperate with the person who snatches his love to fight the enemy together is undoubtedly a hero's doing. So much so that after their men opened the city and opened a Shiguan City, when Niu Jinxing persuaded him to attack Wu Sangui and seize Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng didn't listen.

He plans to convince people with virtue, Li Zicheng thinks so, he sees Wu Sangui as a character, and he really intends to cooperate with him to deal with Tartar and Lin Yi together, beat Tartar away, eliminate Lin Yi, and when the time comes, he is not afraid that Wu Sangui will not surrender and surrender.

He sent Liu Zongmin to lead 30,000 troops out of Ningcheng to clean up the Tartars, and he was absolutely sincere, but not long after Liu Zongmin left, Li Zicheng suddenly received a report, saying that Wu Sangui had secretly visited Ningyuan City to meet with Dolgon two days ago, Li Zicheng was shocked, and after verifying the news, he was furious, okay you Wu Sangui, since you secretly exchanged money with the Tartars, this is a trap for me Li Zicheng to drill, so poisonous! Thanks to getting the news in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and at the same time, he regretted that he didn't listen to Niu Jinxing's strategy, so he should have sent troops to end Shanhaiguan and kill Wu Sangui, what kind of integrity and righteousness do you talk about with this kind of person? !

Li Zicheng immediately sent someone to inform Liu Zongmin to let him change his route to attack Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng led his men and horses to attack Shanhaiguan from Changcheng, and he wanted to destroy the despicable villain Wu Sangui in one fell swoop. At this time, there was another group of men and horses outside the city, it was Gao Guiying and Song Xiance, Li Zicheng was overjoyed, although they did not complete the wounded work they gave them, suffered defeat, did not rescue Gao Yigong, lost the Beijing Division, and the army of more than 200,000 people was only 1,800 people, but they finally came back, which is good. Some people have everything, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers, thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and the arrival of these hundreds of people is undoubtedly a relief in the snow for Li Zicheng.

Therefore, Li Zicheng was very happy, took them into Guancheng, Gao Guiying and others first saluted and then pleaded guilty, Li Zicheng helped them up, did not even say a word of reproach, comforted a few words and told Gao Guiying and Song Xiance about the situation in front of him, and then Guancheng left Gao Guiying and Song Xiance these 1,800 people to defend Guancheng, also considering that they came from afar, let them rest, Li Zicheng personally led an army of 40,000 or 50,000 from the Great Wall to Shanhaiguan.

A few miles outside Shanhaiguan, Liu Zongmin's men and horses suddenly changed direction and killed Wu Sangui's army, and this time Wu Sangui's men and horses were caught off guard.

Because the two of them are cooperative units, ostensibly as a family, this is to go to Ningyuan to deal with the Tartars,

Why did the Dashun army kill them? Wu Sangui was also a little unexpected, this time he personally led the people to watch the excitement in the back first, watching Dashun and Tartar kill both defeats, and then they started from behind and cleaned up Liu Zongmin to avenge the hatred of taking his wife.

But unexpectedly, Liu Zongmin suddenly turned his face and led someone to kill him, could it be that the matter was revealed? Now, Wu Sangui doesn't have time to think about it, only kill!

The two sides fought in the vast land outside the pass, soldier to soldier, general to general, killing the sky and the earth, the sun and the moon were dark.

Although Wu Sangui only had 30,000 horses at this time, all of them were the elite of the Guanning army, and they were absolutely unique in terms of combat effectiveness. Although the combat strength of the Dashun army is not as good, Liu Zongmin has 50,000 men and horses at this time, and there are many people, basically two to one, so that the combat power is roughly the same.

The other two generals are desperate now, Liu Zongmin hates Wu Sangui for going back on his word and playing conspiracy, and Wu Sangui remembered that his concubine Chen Yuanyuan was taken away by Liu Zongmin and his father Wu Xiang was beaten again, and the enemies were very angry when they saw each other, so the two of them were all out of the way today, and they swore not to give up if they didn't fight to the death!

The two main generals are like this, and the soldiers are even more desperate, so at the beginning, the two sides killed corpses all over the field, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

But soon Wu Sanguigui couldn't hold on, because Li Zicheng personally led an army of 40,000 or 50,000 to attack the Guancheng of Shanhaiguan. Although his confidant Ma Bao was brave and good at fighting, his 20,000 horses were caught off guard and could not stop Li Zicheng's attack of 40,000 or 50,000 horses.

But Wu Sangui is now overwhelmed and barely resisting, where is there any troops to send? Suddenly he thought of the Tartars, what are they doing now, Dorgon? He ordered someone to investigate immediately, and soon someone came to report that hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in Dolgon were stopping to watch.

Wu Sangui now knows that he is smart but is mistaken by cleverness, he originally wanted Li Zicheng and Dolgon to kill, as a bystander, when Li Zicheng was almost consumed, he was starting, but now they can play Dolgon, but they are played by Dolgon.

How is it good to go on like this? Dolgon did not move, after Li Zicheng's men and horses took the city, the Dashun army will inevitably gather more and more, his few men and horses, in the end, the whole army will be annihilated, and now only Dolgon can save him, Wu Sangui thought twice and then took the men and horses to kill a blood to find Dolgon.

When Wu Sangui went and returned, more than 100,000 Qing soldiers from Dolgon's two-way army rushed over and killed from behind the Dashun army.

Liu Zongmin was about to kill the remnants of Wu Sangui and rush to Guancheng, where Li Zicheng drove Ma Bao's men and horses off Guancheng, and the two sides were about to converge and annihilate Wu Sangui's men and horses, when the elite of the Manchu Eight Banners led by Dolgon went down from behind......
