"Humph!" Li Zicheng smiled contemptuously and ordered: "Outflank the left and right flanks of the army, cut off Wu Sangui's retreat, and encircle and annihilate the Guanning army!" "The remaining 110,000 Dashun troops were outflanked left and right, and the two armies fought together.

Li Zicheng removed the more than 10,000 people who had lost in the previous attack on the outer walled cities, nearly 190,000 troops, 50,000 Guanning iron cavalry surrounding Wu Sangui, and more than 240,000 troops fought together.

This is a cruel war, almost all of the elite troops of the Dashun Army who have experienced a hundred battles are gathered here, as well as the Daming Guanning Iron Cavalry, which is known as the combat power of the Eight Banners, the battlefield stumps and broken arms, blood splashed and flying sand, the two sides are half a catty and eight taels, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

However, although the Guanning Iron Cavalry is elite, the Dashun army is not bad, and there are many people, and it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists.

Finally, two hours later, the Guanning Iron Cavalry gradually showed defeat, and in the end it was not the elite of the Dashun army, which was overwhelming.

What no one noticed was that on a hill a kilometer to the right, there was a Manchu banner faintly floating here, and several Manchu generals were hiding here looking at the two warring armies in the battlefield.

"What do you think of these two armies in the field, Dodor?" Dolgon smiled indifferently and asked his younger brother Daqing Doro County King Duoduo beside him.

Duoduo looked at it and said: "The Guanning army is not weak, Li Zicheng's army is also not weak, look at their combat strength, the two most elite soldiers and horses of the Han people, if they don't kill each other, even if I encounter any of them in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, even if I can win the battle, I will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses, and even Li Zicheng is slightly stronger, and our Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty dare not say that they can win." ”

"Yes, the two most elite soldiers and horses of the Han people will kill each other again, and in the end, the world will definitely be my Qing Dynasty." Dolgon's expression was sharp, and he seemed to have seen the unstoppable picture of the Qing Dynasty's iron cavalry about to conquer the Han people after this battle.

"Newspaper"

"Qiyu Regent, Wu Sangui can't hold it anymore, ask the regent to rescue him immediately!"

"No, wait, Wu Sangui can still hold on, Guan Ning's army is not so weak, Wu Sangui wants to preserve his strength, how can he escape the eyes of this king, let them fight for another hour." Dorgon laughed.

"Fourteenth brother Mo doesn't want to wait for their two armies to defeat each other, and the Qing army will annihilate them all here with lightning speed!" Dolgon's other right-hand man, King Azig of the Great Qing Dynasty, asked with a smile.

Dolgon shook his head: "Wu Sangui can't be destroyed together, since he has an alliance with my Qing Dynasty in advance, my Qing Dynasty can't break his promise, otherwise how to win the trust of other Han people when he enters the Central Plains in the future, it is impossible for me to really occupy the vast and boundless Han people with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and although this battle will inevitably defeat Li Zicheng, this is not all of Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses, Li Zicheng still has hundreds of thousands of troops in the pass, this person can fight with the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and finally occupy the capital of the Ming Dynasty, forcing Chongzhen to death, not to be underestimated. ”

"Moreover, Wu Sangui will inevitably be greatly injured after this battle, he can't escape from the palm of this king, he has a big enmity with Li Zicheng, and this king will use him as a pawn to finally completely exterminate Li Zicheng."

After listening to Dolgon's analysis, Duoduo nodded approvingly, his fourteenth brother is really eloquent, if he can really lead the Qing Dynasty into the Central Plains this time, under this majesty, it is impossible to say that he can force the little hairy boy to give up the throne, and the throne of the Great Qing Dynasty should have been his eloquent fourteenth brother to sit.

The Battle of Shanhaiguan was in full swing.

On the evening of the second day of the fifth lunar month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, just as the Dashun army and the Guanning army were fighting fiercely, and the Guanning army suffered heavy casualties and gradually showed its defeat, and was about to collapse, Dolgon finally personally led 150,000 Manchurian Eight Banners, Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners coalition army to rush to the battlefield together.

"Clear the soldiers!" Li Zicheng was taken aback.

At the critical moment when the Dashun army was about to defeat the Guanning army, in the face of the sudden addition of more than 100,000 Qing troops, Li Zicheng was unprepared, and the Dashun army, which was already a tired division, faced the morale of the Qing army like a rainbow of tigers and wolves.

An hour later, more than half of the casualties of the Dashun army collapsed in an instant.

The defeat was decided, Li Zicheng could not accept this fact, and was so stimulated that his eyes were black, and he almost fell off the horse.

"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui has actually joined forces with the Qing soldiers, the general trend has gone, quickly order a retreat." Niu Jinxing persuaded next to Li Zicheng, looking at the Qing soldiers who were about to rush towards them with a numb scalp, his legs trembled a little.

"Withdraw!" Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and ordered a retreat.

However, it was too late, the Dashun army had collapsed, and Li Zicheng's order made the Dashun army even more chaotic, scrambling to retreat, and was chased and killed by the Qing soldiers and the Guanning army for a while, and tens of thousands of troops died and scattered.

In the end, Li Zicheng hurriedly collected tens of thousands of troops, all the way to fight and retreat, retreat to Beijing City, when Li Zicheng led the remnants of the army to retreat to Beijing City, the 200,000 Dashun army that had previously gone with him only came back less than 30,000, the elite of the hundred battles was almost lost, and the Dashun army was greatly injured from then on.

The Battle of Shanhaiguan ended with the final victory of Wu Sangui and the Qing soldiers.

After this battle, although the Guanning army also belonged to the victorious side, it also suffered heavy losses, with as many as 30,000 casualties among the 50,000 troops, and the remaining 20,000 were also exhausted divisions, and the Guanning army was also greatly injured.

Dolgon took this opportunity to propose the incorporation of the Guanning army, and named Wu Sangui as the king of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty on the spot, and all the generals under his command were sealed.

Wu Sangui had scruples and did not want to accept Dolgon's canonization, but the situation was not as good as others, if he dared to refuse, he would inevitably be killed by Dolgon on the spot, and then reluctantly accepted Dolgon's canonization and became the king of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty.

In order to make Wu Sangui and others have no room for repentance, Dolgon proposed to let Wu Sangui and other generals of the Guanning Army shave off their forehead hair and form a money rat tail with the Manchurians to show their sincerity.

Wu Sangui and others did not dare to refuse, and under the personal supervision of Dolgon, all the generals of the Guanning Army were shaved into the same money rat tail as the Manchurians, which also represented the official submission of the Guanning Army to the command of the Qing Dynasty.

After a night's rest, the Qing soldiers rushed to the city of Beijing.

The elite army was lost, and Li Zicheng thought that Beijing City could not be defended, so under the persuasion of Niu Jinxing and others, he led the Dashun army to withdraw from Beijing City, and abandoned the entire Hebei, and the Dashun army withdrew to Shanxi, Henan and other places.

Jinan City, Shandong, a few days ago, Li Huaxi, the general soldier of Xuzhou, led the Xuzhou army into Shandong and incorporated it under the command of Shi Kefa, so that Shi Kefa's army was more than Liu Zongmin's army, and the city of Jinan was as stable as Mount Tai, Liu Zongmin was unable to capture Jinan, so he led the army to retreat to Dezhou.

Shi Kefa wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue, but was secretly delayed by Li Huaxi, when Shi Kefa finally forced Li Huaxi to lead the army north, Liu Zongmin had already received Li Zicheng's generals to abandon Dezhou and retreat to Henan, Dezhou was occupied by the Qing soldiers first, and the door to Shandong was wide open.
