Qi Chongge immediately reminded: "Regent, Beijing is also approaching, how can I go to Tongzhou?"

Dolgon ordered the heralds: "Go and give the order quickly" before sitting on the chair and said: "Beijing is sometimes plagued, and hundreds of thousands of military and civilian officials may not be of the same heart with me, on the contrary, if Li Yan enters Beijing, it will be equally unfavorable to him, and we can just besiege Beijing with the king of Wuying County who has returned." Even if Beijing is difficult to capture for a while, you can besiege the city first, transfer troops to take Shanhaiguan, and then turn back to solve Li Yan. At that time, the entire Zhili Shandong was owned by me. ”

"What about the defenders of Beijing," Qi Chongge asked.

Dorgon immediately said, "Give them orders too, let them defend to the death." Remind them that they can levy the people of the city to help them. ”

There are only 2,000 people in the city of Beijing, and the rest are still the original 40,000 Beijing camps, but they have been shaved off. So they didn't care much about the lives of these people, and the order to keep them was quickly passed to Beijing.

Li Yan saw that the Qing troops were retreating on all fronts, so he immediately sent the cavalry out. After receiving the order, the cavalry in the three formations set off one after another, bypassed the places where there were no corpses on both sides, and launched an attack on the Qing troops stranded near the south bank of the Empress Dowager Xiao.

Most of the people who remained on the south bank were infantry, as well as servants carrying artillery or convoys pulling baggage. The cavalry had already crossed the river on horseback and went to the north bank, and retreated all the way to Tongzhou in the north, according to Dorgon's orders. They didn't want to continue the decisive battle with Li Yan in the wilderness, there were trenches on the outskirts of Tongzhou, it was safer than in the wilderness.

The cavalry rushed into the panicked enemy, reaping the life with steel whips and long knives. In a few cases, they will also use handcuffs to deal with those enemy officers who are skilled in kung fu and brave in battle.

At this time, the artillerymen had already sent the telescope back to Li Yan and Li Mou. Li Yan frowned a little as he watched the Qing army on the north side of the river bank retreat north, instead of going to the capital in the west.

At this time, Liang Zhenfang plucked up his courage, clenched his fists and said: "Dashuai, my subordinates ask to go to war and pursue the enemy on the north shore." ”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What, I want to go out and lead the troops?"

Liang Zhenfang did not deny it, and said: "The subordinates are all in charge of the marshal. However, the enemy's cavalry is mostly on the north bank, and if pressure is not exerted, it is likely that they will regroup and counterattack us. ”

Li Yan nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Well, yes, clear mind." After that, he instructed: "You go to Bai Shixiong, you can lead a thousand cavalry across the river." However, it should be noted that you can't be brute force and let the cavalry suffer big losses. If you do well this time, you will go to the cavalry unit. ”

"Please rest assured, your subordinates must be cautious." Liang Zhenfang was overjoyed, and happily hugged his fists and agreed. Li Yan's order shows that if he can be put into the cavalry unit this time, he will be at least a general, maybe a thousand generals.

Liang Zhenfang and Li Yan's heralds got on their horses and ran towards the battlefield together. Li Mu said in a low voice: "This kid, the mind of being an official is quite heavy, and the fourth brother will have to pay attention to it in the future." ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "It's a good thing to be enterprising, as long as he can fight for his status within the rules, I am happy to see it." It is good to have competition in the army, otherwise there will be no enterprising spirit. ”

He then asked Sun Sifu: "What about you, do you want to go out and lead my own soldiers, just count the longest time you have stayed by my side." ”

"The subordinates are still willing to follow the big handsome. Dashuai has given our family a way to live, and I am willing to protect Dashuai for the rest of my life. If the handsome thinks that Sifu is useless, Sifu will unload his armor and return to the field and live in peace. Sun Sifu bowed and clenched his fists and said seriously.

Li Yan nodded and said, "It's okay, you are also familiar with the things around me, but it can save me a lot of worry." If you do things well, your official rank and status will not be missing in the future. Someone has to do everything, and although the division of labor is different in each position, contributions will be rewarded. ”

Sun Sifu clenched his fists: "My subordinates understand." ”

"The order was given, the army continued to advance, and the divisions prepared to cross the river. Let the cavalry stop killing too many enemies and start taking prisoners. Li Yan saw that the Qing army on the north bank had no intention of stopping, so he immediately ordered.

After receiving the order, the cavalry began to drive the Qing troops who were running around. As the army array advanced, these Qing troops who remained on the south bank were finally surrounded, with cavalry patrolling back and forth on three sides, and infantry and artillery on one side.

"Put down your weapons and surrender to avoid death," Li Yan's troops shouted loudly.

Those Qing troops gathered together, holding weapons, and looked around nervously, but there were still few who were willing to surrender.

Li Yan was not polite here, and after waiting for a while, he saw that no one responded, so he immediately fired two shotguns. Amid the sound of artillery, dozens of people screamed and were knocked down, leaving those Qing troops in despair.

"Don't fight, don't fight, we're Han Chinese," some shouted, threw their weapons on the ground, and knelt down.

With someone taking the lead, everyone else slowly threw away their weapons and knelt down. These were just ordinary soldiers, and the officers all had horses, and they were much faster than them when they retreated. Although they are still worried about their families outside the gate, some of them also have relatives in the gate, and since they can surrender once and surrender the second time, they don't have much inner entanglement.

And on the north shore, Shang Kexi, who had withdrawn more than two miles, stopped. The six red-clothed cannons that he finally led across the river were intercepted by Li Yan's cavalry chasing across the river, and this cannon was a sharp weapon in his army, and he didn't want to throw it away. Moreover, he saw that there were not many Li Yan's cavalry crossing the river, so he stopped, preparing to take his two thousand cavalry to wipe out Li Yan's cavalry.

His 2,000 cavalry are all his elite subordinates, and 300 are his family members, all of whom are extraordinary. Two thousand against one thousand, and Li Yan didn't send artillery over, he felt that there should be no problem in winning.

Soon, the cavalry of the two sides hedged, and Li Yan's cavalry had already prepared their handcuffs, and within twenty paces, the first row of soldiers opened fire one after another, almost eliminating Shang Kexi's front row of cavalry. After that, Li Yan's cavalry used heavy steel whips to resist and smash, and after the two horses staggered, Li Yan's cavalry followed up with another gunshot, and the Shang Kexi cavalry knocked off the horse again.

After the two sides completed an exchange, Shang Keg's cavalry lost most of it. However, Liang Zhenfang did not return to the army to complete a round of engagement with Shang Kexi's cavalry, but continued to charge forward with the cavalry and rushed towards Shang Kexi under the banner.

Where Shang Kexi dared to stay, he quickly reined in and escaped. But Liang Zhenfang and their speed were much faster, and after catching up with this big official, they shot with a handcuff and knocked all the Qing troops off their horses.

And as soon as the cavalry turned around, they saw their prince being knocked off his horse. Except for the remaining more than 100 dings, the other cavalry did not dare to go to Li Yan's cavalry to continue entanglement, but detoured from a distance and fled in the direction of Tongzhou.

The more than 100 Ding, with red eyes, rushed towards Li Yan's nearly 1,000 cavalry with a shout. It's not so much that they are going to avenge Shang Kexi, but that they are going to die. They are to interpret their loyalty with their lives.
