Chapter 311: Great War Shanhaiguan (4)

He Renlong led 15,000 iron horsemen, and when he was approaching the third watch, he suddenly appeared under the gate of Shanhaiguan.

At this time, Shanhaiguan had been disrupted, the men and horses of the Manchu Qing Tartars, the men and horses of Wu Sangui, and the Dashun army of Li Zicheng, more than 100,000 horses of the three armies were mixed together, and the blood-stained city walls were stained, and corpses flew down from time to time outside the city.

"Kill me! None of the traitors and Tartars remained, and those who surrendered in the Dashun army were spared death! ”

He Renlong gave an order, and 15,000 iron horsemen rushed towards the city, like the rising tide of the sea, and the shouts were earth-shattering.

At the forefront, of course, were the 2,000 musketeers led by Wang Qi.

Now Lin Yi's musket battalion has a total of 4,000 people, and these 4,000 muskets are all new muskets, that is, self-generated flintlock pistols, which do not need to be ignited, do not need a fire rope, and just pull the trigger after aiming.

The commander of the musket battalion was Dongsheng, but now they were two, Dongsheng and Wang Qi each led half of the troops of the musket battalion to open the way for the two main generals to attack the two cities respectively.

In the past two days, Wang Qi's musketeers have opened the way for He Renlong in front, and they have taken the lead and rushed to Shanhaiguan first.

The Qing army, Wu Sangui's traitor team, and the Dashun army and the three of them were fighting, and no one expected another team to come, and no matter whose people and horses this team was, black and white would take it all.

These well-trained new-style musketeers of the Ming army rushed up, whether it was the Qing army or Wu Sangui's traitor army, and got down from behind, raised their guns to aim, and opened fire.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Like firecrackers, the gunshots rang out in a cloud that could not be counted, and the white smoke dissipated in the night sky.

The men and horses of the Qing army and Wu Sangui were killed by surprise, and they fell down in batches in rows, just like a group of large harvesters drove into 10,000 acres of corn fields, harvesting their lives with the roar of the machines.

This time, the Qing army and Wu Sangui's men and horses were in chaos.

2,000 musketeers, each of whom fired an average of two shots, and these Qing troops and Wu Sangui's men and horses were chaotic.

These bald-headed Qing troops and traitor teams have never seen such strong firepower, firecrackers, birds, three-eyed guns, they have seen a lot, will be such continuous firepower, it is not the first time to see, so they were suddenly blindfolded, at that time the east, west, north and south could not be found, the dead and wounded, the city has another layer of corpses, the rest of them scattered and fled, and they collapsed and retreated.

He Renlong looked at it from behind, the musket battalion was really majestic, their task was completed, and he ordered the men and horses of the subordinate battalion to rush up.

The standard battalion is the most powerful army under Lin Yi's command, and without one, even the invincible battalion cannot be matched.

Because they are a combination of the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Tianxiong Army, the combat power has been raised and improved on the basis of these two armies, and the plus sign can be marked next to the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Tianxiong Army to indicate the upgraded version of the combat power.

Therefore, the 5,000 men and horses of the standard battalion rushed over like a whirlwind. All of them are dual-armed, three-armed, and some are four-armed.

In the process of charging, they shoot with bows and arrows when they are far away, and then when they rush closer, they change their weapons and start slashing with axes.

Dolgon and Wu Sangui began to calculate others, and now they are the ones who are calculated.

Like Li Zicheng's team just now, these Qing troops and Wu Sangui's men and horses have been killed for a long time, and their combat power was originally good, but now it has been greatly reduced and has become a tired army.

In a fair state, they are not the opponents of the standard camp, and there is no suspense at this time, and the difference in strength between the two sides is huge.

Therefore, these 5,000 iron cavalry rushed to Guancheng with a charge, like a giant chariot, crushing the Qing army, Wu Sangui's men and horses and the Dashun army.

The standard battalion has received a death order, no matter who it is, as long as they do not surrender, they will be killed. But the Qing army and Wu Sangui's men and horses were all killed, that is, they threw their guns and knelt on the ground as prisoners, and they were also killed.

This is Lin Yi's consistent style, because he hates those evil Tartars and traitors and does not allow them to surrender.

He Renlong saw that the standard camp had succeeded, and the remaining thousands of troops under the order, under the leadership of Yuan Shu, the commander-in-chief of Henan, and Ma Luan, the son of Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, also rushed into the city.

In Shanhaiguan, Dolgon and Wu Sangui were proudly encircling and suppressing Li Zicheng's men, they felt that they were too clever, Li Zicheng was completely tricked by them, and the whole army would be wiped out tonight.

Especially Wu Sangui was triumphant, his revenge was avenged, and his opponent was removed, and then he joined forces with the Manchu Tartars to deal with Lin Yi.

But good dreams tend to wake up easily.

At this time, there was a lot of gunfire outside, which aroused their vigilance, such a dense gunshot, they had never seen it, the two people were stunned, and they were just about to ask clearly, and there was a big chaos on the periphery, and the Ming army attacked.

Dolgon and Wu Sangui's faces were full of incredulity, the smugness just now was swept away, they never dreamed that Lin Yi's men and horses would be killed at this time.

In this scene, the praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch looks confused in the back. Because Huang Que was Wu Sangui first, and then became Li Zicheng, and in the blink of an eye, he became Dolgon, but in the end it was Lin Yi.

Dolgon and Wu Sangui were also stunned now, and hurriedly mobilized their teams to meet the enemy, but their teams were all in chaos, and only a few parts could be mobilized, but the teams that were quickly mobilized were soon scattered, and the Ming army continued to attack.

In the firelight, they witnessed the extremely strong combat effectiveness of the Ming army, the Ming army in front of them, the Qing army and Wu Sangui's men and horses melee, they couldn't stand it at all, in addition to the rout, only the part of being killed, not at all.

The two of them were unwilling to fail, and personally led the guards to dance and charge with broadswords, Dolgon's force and Wu Sangui's martial arts were without water, and several Ming soldiers died under their swords for a while.

And at this time, there were Haoge's men and horses on the city, and they had already joined forces with Dolgon's men and horses, the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and his combat power was even better, and the traitor leader Kong Youde and others were also brave and good at fighting.

They fought desperately, trying to turn the tide of the war, and the two sides started a desperate struggle on the Guancheng, and from time to time someone was still in the Guancheng.

He Renlong led the Ming army, and he was still rushing up to kill, and Dolgon, Haoge, Wu Sangui, Aobai, Kong Youde and others fought desperately and did not retreat.

For a while, it was a stalemate.

However, this stalemate did not last for half an hour, and was broken by the superior strength of the Ming army.

Because at this time, another army came to the west of Shanhaiguan, and they rushed along the Great Wall horse road.

This is the 15,000 elite Ming army under Hao Shaoqi's command, and this team rushed to a Shiguan city without much effort.

Then a row of horses, each row of six horses rushed forward at the same time, in front of of which of course were 2,000 musketeers, led by Tokatsu himself.

At night, they formed a long line, and along the winding city wall, like a black dragon, galloped over the lofty mountains, and at a distance of thirty or forty miles, the war horses ran like a swift wind in the blink of an eye.

They got off the guy from behind the ass of the Qing army.

Of course, this Qing army is Haoge's men, but not all of them are Tartars, and there are also traitors of Kong Youde and others, and the Tartars call them the Eight Banners of the Han People.

But whether it is the Eight Banners of the Tartars or the Eight Banners of the Han people, they all have to fall to the ground and fall off their horses if they are shot.

This Qing army was still caught off guard, and never dreamed of it, so after falling countless corpses, it was also stunned, and retreated with a bang, and the soldiers of the invincible battalion led by Hao Shaoqi personally rushed into the city.

The Invincible Battalion was a combination of more than 4,000 Qin troops, and their combat power was absolutely first-class at that time, in no way inferior to the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Tianxiong Army.

In addition, there are Hao Shaoqi, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and Dongsheng, these brave generals took the lead in charging into battle, so the Qing army, Dashun army, and Wu Sangui's traitor army in Guancheng were attacked by the enemy on their backs, and the people were panicked.

They didn't know how many Ming troops were coming, and with such a strong combat force, they couldn't resist it at all after they had been killed for half a day.

Dolgon, Haoge, Wu Sangui, Ao Bai, Kong Youde, etc. couldn't bear it, so they had to take their heads and go down, and finally they left another layer of corpses and retreated outside the Shanhaiguan City.

After Hao Shaoqi and He Renlong's team met, they occupied the entire Shanhaiguan Pass, and then rushed out of the pass and continued to pursue and destroy the remnants of the enemy.

In the end, Dolgon and Wu Sangui led the remnants of the defeated army, and they were defeated for more than 50 miles in one go, and they stopped to catch their breath when they saw that the Ming army was not chasing after them.

The early morning wind brought them a slight coolness, and they were covered in sweat, and after the morning breeze blew like this, they felt that the armor on their bodies was cold.

Counting the number of people, the Qing army came 110,000 this time, including 10,000 Ningyuan defenders, Wu Sangui's men and horses are calculated according to 50,000, and the two sides together are 160,000 soldiers and horses, but after yesterday's day and this night, now they are added together, even the wounded, there are less than 40,000 horses left.

Dolgon, Haoge, Aobai, Wu Sangui, Kong Youde and others looked at each other, all looking tired, because they had been tossing all night.

But in addition to the look of exhaustion, he was even more frustrated, because this battle was lost too much, full of chances of winning, foolproof, but the result was completely unexpected, the defeat was a mess, how could the Ming army kill it at the critical moment?

"It's Lin Yi again!"

Dolgon, Haoge, Wu Sangui, Aobai, a few of them mentioned this name, and they all gritted their teeth.

A few of them discussed, and felt that the reason for this defeat was that Lin Yi stole from behind, and if they were prepared, there was nothing to fear from these Ming troops.

Therefore, they decided to set up camp on the spot and send people to immediately mobilize Hongyi cannons from Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and they wanted the second art of war at Shanhaiguan, and they must defeat Lin Yi, otherwise they would not be able to get out of the evil spirit in their hearts.
