Azig roared, "We also have firearms, and they are better than those of the Han people!" He looked at another wave of Li Yan scouts, and said angrily: "Send people again, I won't believe it, I can't clean them up!" Send five times as many troops, and I'll see how many cavalry he has! ”

Duoduo immediately stopped: "Slow, don't rush. If you like the Internet, you can get on it. ”

Azig looked at Duoduo angrily: "You want to watch them arrogant in front of us?!" ”

Dodor looked at the darkened sky and said, "Wait, it's overcast, try again when it rains." ”

Azig only noticed at this time that it shouldn't be so dark at this time. He looked at the slowly gloomy sky and laughed, "Okay, it's going to rain soon." The rain was dripping, and no matter how powerful Li Yan's firearms were, they didn't have much power. ”

Li Yan naturally noticed the weather conditions at this time, so he ordered: "Set up the gun shed, build the command headquarters, and let the ammunition truck enter to shelter from the rain." ”

Although each of his ammunition was wrapped in oiled paper, he was still very cautious, if it was damp, then he would be much more passive in the face of tens of thousands of Qing cavalry.

Duoduo and Azig watched Li Yan's troops busy in the distance, slowly building sheds at the gun emplacements. At the same time, a large wooden shed was built near the moat, which took up nearly half of the space of the military array.

After Li Yan's men had built all the sheds and the baggage troops had entered one after another, the heavy rain that the Qing army was looking forward to had not yet fallen, but the sky was getting more and more gloomy.

"Fuck it!" Azig glared at Li Yan's military formation and shouted, "He is fully prepared, and even a rain shelter can be built so quickly!" ”

Duoduo said helplessly: "It seems that this Li Yan is indeed a difficult opponent." No wonder Dorgon asked us for reinforcements. ”

"So what do we do?" Azig said angrily: "Still spending here? Let's go straight to Dolgon. ”

But Duoduo said, "Wait, as long as it rains, no matter how well he is protected, he will be affected somewhat." Let our people also go into these houses to take shelter from the rain, don't occupy too many houses, just occupy the back part, so as to facilitate the assembly of troops. But let them not hurt others and commit adultery, otherwise they will be punished severely. ”

For Duoduo's request, the Qing army can basically comply, but no one takes the request not to hurt people and commit adultery. Duoduo himself was a hungry ghost, how could he ask others? They are just reminding themselves in their hearts that it would be nice to do something clean.

Although many people were mobilized by Li Yan, the family entered the city of Beijing to avoid trouble. But there are always people who don't want to leave their homes and have a fluke mentality. Their doom today can only be their fate.

The drizzling rain finally fell, and Li Yan remained vigilant here, not daring to be careless. As for the Qing army, only a part of the guard troops remained, and the rest of the troops also went into civilian houses to hide from the rain.

Although Li Yan knew that only a part of the Qing army was on guard outside, the rain also affected the shooting of the firearms. Without the help of his handcuffs, he was reluctant to let his cavalry take risks. The Qing army that fled north had already left the Great Wall yesterday, although the Ming army along the Great Wall had not yet pledged allegiance to him, but they had no intention of surrendering to the Qing army for the time being, and they were still waiting and seeing. So as long as the Qing army here doesn't come to attack, he is willing to spend it and wait for the weather to clear before fighting.

In the midst of the stalemate, Dordor and Azig finally learned of Dorgon's news, but the news only made them even angrier. Not only has Dolgon been withdrawn, but Shanhaiguan is still in the hands of Wu Sangui and others.

"Dolgon, too!" Azig roared: "He's all gone, and he didn't send us a message, are we still brothers?!" When he returns to Shengjing, this defeat will definitely make him lose his authority, and without the help of our brothers, he may be imprisoned to death! ”

Duoduo said lightly: "Dolgon is not that kind of person, he should have missed the messenger with the messenger. Let's go directly to the Gu'an line, and the one who sends the letter may go to Zhuozhou. ”

"What a bad luck!" Azig sighed, "If I had received the news earlier, I wouldn't have wasted my time here. When the Han army and the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion catch up, we will go out of the customs. ”

Duoduo nodded: "Well, it's better to withdraw earlier." Dolgon's estimated losses this time are not small, and we have lost more than 200 warriors before we even start fighting, let alone Dolgon. Fortunately, we have won a few battles along the way, and we can explain the past. ”

"Well, what's the matter?" Azig sighed again: "It was a good situation, driving away Li Zicheng, and it was about to occupy the north of the Yellow River, but suddenly killed a Li Yan. ”

Duoduo also said regretfully: "Yes, who would have thought that Li Yan's team would be so strong. And the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the soldiers can't stand it anymore. In addition, the war is not going well, if you force yourself to stay in the pass, you can only lose even worse. ”

The two discussed and agreed, so they immediately sent people to give orders to the troops stationed in Jingcheng, and asked them to go north immediately after receiving the order, without joining with the large army, and find a suitable place to exit the customs.

And they continued to wait here for Kong Youde and the others to converge, and then go out of the customs together. Most of their red-coated cannons were on the march with the battalion, and only a few were on guard in the city outside the pass, so they could not abandon the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion.

Since the Qing army had decided to retreat, it naturally would not attack the city of Beijing. Therefore, even though the rain gradually became heavier and did not stop until the second half of the night, they did not attack Li Yan's army or harass the original Beijing camp.

However, the heavy rain also made the roads muddy, and the firearms battalion and the Han army led by Kong Youde and others went north even more slowly.

Li Yan has been paying attention to the movements of the Qing army. Although the Qing army came out to annihilate his scouts when it was raining, the cavalry were alert and ran back at the slightest movement. The Qing army was afraid of Li Yan's artillery, so it could only drive it away.

After several battles with the Qing army, Li Yan's cavalry captured a lot of war horses, and most of the current cavalry are one man and two horses. Therefore, they did not have to worry about the physical strength of the horses, as long as the Qing army retreated, they would force it again, so that the vigilant Qing army could not rest in peace.

At noon the next day, the sun finally came out again, and the blazing sun was blazing the earth, and the water vapor was steaming, making people feel uncomfortable in a steamer. Li Yan's troops couldn't stand it, but they had straw hats to shade the sun, as well as mung bean soup and sour plum soup to relieve the heat. After all, they are backed by the capital, which is much more convenient.

The Qing army couldn't stand it even more. They still have only a small number of troops on guard, and the rest hide from the sun in their houses. Even those vigilant Qing soldiers were all wearing single clothes, and their armor and other things were placed with their slaves.

Li Yan looked at the cool Qing army through the binoculars, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He ordered: "Let the cavalry prepare, and in a quarter of an hour the whole army will attack, and first deal with those Qing troops outside." ”
