After the third watch of the night, Lin Yi personally led an army of 70,000 to Shanhaiguan, and at this time there was still a fierce battle in Shanhaiguan City.

Of course, these tens of thousands of horses can't be idle, Lin Yi commanded the men and horses into battle, but his tens of thousands of horses and horses fought all at the end of the work.

Because there are Hao Shaoqi and He Renlong's 30,000 iron horsemen fighting in front, no one is invincible, Lin Yi's 70,000 foot soldiers are there to mend the knife, see which one is not dead, make up a knife or a shot, those who surrendered Dashun They assisted in guarding the prisoners, and killed those Tartars and traitors who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy after verifying their identities.

That's what they do.

When the sky was gray and bright, the iron cavalry led by He Renlong and Hao Shaoqi chased out for more than 20 miles, until the Tartars and traitors in front of them ran away, and they collected their troops and returned to Guancheng, tossing for another day and night, and then they felt tired and tired.

Hurry back to the city to rest the troops and horses, the people have to eat and drink, and the war horses have to be fed, so that they can quickly recover their combat strength.

In the early morning, Shanhaiguan returned to quiet, from yesterday to now, this heavy gate city has experienced a baptism of blood and fire, and personally witnessed the duel between the four strongest armies here.

From a Shiguan City to the Guancheng of Shanhaiguan, the city wall of thirty or forty miles long, winding like a dragon, all are battlefields, at this time up and down the city wall, inside and outside the Great Wall, there is blood and corpses everywhere, pieces of broken flags, broken knives are everywhere, the strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of barbecue, emitted in the air, become strong and pungent.

It attracted the goshawks overhead to circle and chirp, but the mountains of corpses below stretched for dozens of miles, which may have frightened these carnivorous birds, circled a few times, and finally did not dare to come down to forage for food, and finally chirped straight into the sky, and then flew to the depths of the sea.

This fierce battle lasted for a whole day and night, and the four most powerful armies successively invested more than 300,000 troops, and according to the statistics after the war, all the casualties had exceeded 200,000.

A battle of this magnitude and such heavy casualties is rare in the world.

Wu Sangui's 50,000 horses were not left in the end, and the 110,000 troops of the Manchu Tartars were only more than 30,000 people overnight.

Of course, the heaviest casualties were the Dashun army, Li Zicheng's 100,000 army, exhausted in one day, the mighty Dashun emperor Li Zicheng and his military advisor Niu Jinxing also died in the chaos, and the generals who died together were Liu Zongmin, Lan Yingcheng, Bai Minghe, Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun, etc.

In the end, there were only more than 6,000 people in the Dashun army who became Lin Yi's prisoner, including the wounded, including survivors such as Song Xiance and Gao Guiying.

The most serious consequence of this war was that the Dashun army perished from then on, from the founding of Xi'an, to the entry into Yanjing, and then to the expulsion of Yanjing by Lin Yi, and then to the destruction of the First Battle of Shanhaiguan, the Dashun regime only existed for a total of eight or nine months. It is a few months shorter than the original history, which is of course due to Lin Yi's crossing, which partially changed the direction of history, and the Dashun regime can be regarded as a flash in the pan in the long history of thousands of years.

The Manchurian Tartars, the Mongol Tatars, including Kong Youde's Han Eight Banners, suffered more than 70,000 casualties at once, including many Beylor princes, such as Mongol Ertai, Yang Guli, Ganglin, and the great traitor Geng Zhongming, etc., all died in this battle.

Such heavy casualties can be said to be unprecedented since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. No wonder Dolgon, Hauge and Wu Sangui are not good at giving up!

This battle also defeated the great traitor Wu Sangui, and the 50,000 Guan Ning army left him with only four or five thousand people, including the wounded.

The final winner of this war is, of course, the Ming army, Lin Yi's men and horses suffered the smallest casualties, according to statistics, there are only eight or nine hundred people, such a large-scale battle, such a grand battle scene, this casualty is simply negligible, negligible.

At this station, because Lin Yi did not allow the Tartars and traitors to surrender, he killed too many people, and cleaning the battlefield and burying the corpses was a big project. Outside the Great Wall, several large deep pits were dug and more than 200,000 bodies were buried.

Coupled with taking care of the loot, Lin Yi's 100,000 army was busy for three days. The spoils of war, the Dashun army, the Manchu Tatars, and Wu Sangui's, were piled up like a mountain, countless, and dozens of thick copies were written when they were put into the account.

Needless to say, gold and silver treasures, although Li Zicheng did not expect this change when he went out of Yanjing this time, it was impossible for the emperor of the Dashun Army to come out without bringing gold and silver treasures and a large amount of grain and grass to feed. In addition, Wu Sangui has guarded Shanhaiguan for so many years, including his father Wu Xiang, who was an official in Ningyuan and then in Yanjing, and their family's money can be described as rich enough to reach the country, this time his savings in Shanhaiguan for many years, including grain and horses, were all given to Lin Yi.

Hundreds of thousands of Tartars suffered such a crushing defeat, and of course their trophies were not a lot, and their things were mainly war horses, swords, spears, and equipment.

In addition to the mountains of gold and silver treasures, countless grains, grasses and horses, etc., the biggest highlight of this trophy was that more than 300 red-coated cannons were obtained, 200 of the Dashun army and more than 100 of Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan.

Some of them are broken and can no longer be used, so they have to be repaired, and some can no longer be repaired, and there are more than 260 red-coated cannons that can be used directly. Coupled with the red-coated cannons that Lin Yi pulled over this time, together with them, the number of red-coated cannons in Lin Yi's army is now close to 500.

Just taking care of these trophies, I was busy for four or five days. During this period, the city walls were repaired, and the damaged gates and openings in the city walls had to be repaired in time, and then the blood stains inside and outside the city walls were washed away with clean water to restore them to their original appearance.

In other words, five days after the end of the war, Lin Yi and the others were busy with these post-war matters.

Although these four or five days were to deal with post-war matters, they exhausted Lin Yi's soldiers, even more tired than fighting.

However, Lin Yi also improved their lives, even if it was a small treat.

Of course, the casualties of the war horses could not be thrown away, after peeling the skin, divided into small pieces and began to stew horse meat, 100,000 horses ate two meals to their heart's content, so that the soldiers were too addicted to meat.

Next, it was time to deal with the matter of the captives, Lin Yi lived in the Generalissimo Mansion of Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan, and invited Song Xiance over.

Song Xiance saw Lin Yi kneeling down to give a salute, Lin Yi smiled and said: "Sir, please be polite, Lin has something unclear, ask for advice in person."

Song Xiance, who had just stood up, hurriedly bowed down and responded when he heard this: "Don't dare to be, the master has something to say, how can you talk about the word "ask?"

"Mr. Lin has heard of Mr. Mister's name, Mr. is talented and rich, has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and the ambition to stabilize the country, and is able to understand the heavens and use the soldiers like gods. Therefore, Li Zicheng regards Mr. as a god, and Mr. is not the kind of utilitarian villain who rebels against the Lord and seeks glory, and he is also loyal to Li Zicheng. What Lin Yi didn't understand was why Mr. Song also surrendered this time? ”

Song Xiance's little black face was slightly red, and he grinned to reveal his big white teeth, which made his face even darker, just like sketch actor Song Xiaobao.

"The Taishi is really falsely praised, Song Mouzhi is in front of the Taishi, but it is the class door with an axe, but what the Taishi said is also right, my Song Xiance is indeed loyal to Li Zicheng and Dashun, this is because he watched the sky at night, and the eighteenth son warned to see that Li Zicheng is Allah, but recently the sky is like a tragic elephant, it seems that Allah has another person, and the will of heaven cannot be violated, so Song abandoned the darkness and turned to the light."

When Song Xiance said this, he once again clasped his hands into fists and swept the ground, and said to Lin Yi: "Song is late to surrender, please forgive the Taishi in person."

Lin Yi laughed, "Hahaha, Mr. said it well, there is no need to be polite." My Mr. De is no less than Liu Bei De Kong Ming, Mr. Da Mingde, like dead wood and spring, so I will be a strategist for Lin Yi first. ”

Song Xiance was flattered: "Being able to serve the Taishi, Song is fortunate to have three lives, how can you talk about grievances?"

In this troubled world, one strategist is better than thousands of horses. Lin Yi was very happy, and fought such a big victory, and immediately sent an order to reward the three armies, and the whole army congratulated the 3rd.

Lin Yi was even more nourished, Xiaoying and Zhezhe were by his side, and the beauties in the women's camp, including Han girls and Mongolian beauties, sang and danced.

Soon, under Song Xiance's strategy, Gao Guiying also bowed in front of Lin Yi.

Now that the injuries on her body have been treated in the past few days, they are basically fine, and Lin Yi has crowned her as the deputy general of the women's battalion, and her status among the hundreds of women's battalion soldiers is second only to Xiaoying and Zhezhe.

Gao Guiying is very grateful.

Next, more than 6,000 Dashun troops all surrendered to Shun and accepted Lin Yi's adaptation, except for those who were injured and needed treatment, none of them were willing to leave, and Lin Yi organized them all into the Ming army.

6,000 men and horses disrupted the original establishment, some were incorporated into Lin Yi's descendant troops, some were incorporated into Ma Shiying's Fengyang Army, and some were incorporated into Yuan Shu's Henan Army.

In order to appease Gao Guiying and Song Xiance and other old subordinates of the Great Shun Army, Lin Yi ordered Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin to be buried thickly.

On the day of the burial, Gao Guiying cried in front of Li Zicheng's grave, after all, husband and wife, born and died, and fought together for so many years, Gao Guiying burst into tears, and vowed to kill Tartar and Wu Sangui, avenge Li Zicheng, and comfort his soul.

After these things were over, Li Zicheng remembered Li Yan and Gao Yigong, prisoners of war who were held in Shangjing.

Song Xiance's little black face smiled, revealing his big white teeth, "Don't worry, Taishi, leave this matter to Commander Gao Guiying to deal with, and make sure that they all come to surrender to Taishi." ”

Lin Yi couldn't help nodding his head and brought Gao Guiying over, and Gao Guiying agreed.

Lin Yi loves talents, not money, but cherishes talents, Li Yan, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu These are the elites in the Dashun army, Lin Yi is of course reluctant to kill them.

The Ming Dynasty is now short of manpower, let them work for the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Tartars and traitors, that is the best, this is to make the best use of people's talents.

Seeing Song Xiance and Gao Guiying say this, a stone in Lin Yi's heart was also put down.

Next, Lin Yi proposed to attack Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and the Manchu Tartars were troubled year after year to find trouble for the Ming Dynasty.

On this day, Lin Yi and Song Xiance, Xiaoying and Zhezhe, Gao Guiying and others were discussing the military situation, and suddenly someone came to report that a large number of Qing troops were coming to Shanhaiguan.

Lin Yi slapped the table and suddenly got up: "It's good to come, save this Taishi from going to them!"
