Chapter Fifty-Eight: Yang Qing is here, who dares to fight with me!
Shanhaiguan Dongluo City Service Far Gate.
"Hurry up, Dutama hurry up, why is Lao Tzu so unlucky!"
Liu Zongmin roared.
The soldiers beside him who carried flying ladders and pushed cloud ladders swarmed forward, crossed the filled moat and rushed straight to the city wall, and on the city wall on both sides of the city in front of them, the Shun army attached to the ant attached to the city was bravely climbing towards it under the cover of the bird gunners and archers behind them, and then fell under the attack of the Qing army and some of the Wu Sangui slaves above......
They were met with stubborn resistance.
This is the only way for Wu Sangui and Ai Duli to break through and flee north, because Ai Duli and his subordinates have not arrived for the time being, and Chongzhen, who was their gift to Dolgon, has not been caught, so Wu Sangui, who arrived in advance, can only defend here, once this place is breached, there is no hope of escaping at all. Shanhaiguan is connected to the Great Wall by the eastern city wall, and Dongluo City is equivalent to a salient outside the Great Wall, while the city gates in other directions are all inside the Great Wall, which is their only choice to break through. Wu Sangui's own strength is not enough to break through Liu Zongmin's interception outside, and he must partner with Ai Duli, saying that there are not many people under him anymore, and there are only a thousand people who have followed him until now. In addition, the Qing army that originally guarded Dongluo City was less than 2,000 in total, and the place was also very small, so there were not many Guanning troops originally stationed, and after he arrived, those Guanning troops who rebelled against him did not dare to fight after all, but chose to flee to Guancheng along the city wall.
However, even if Wu Sangui had less than 2,000 people at this time, it would be difficult for Liu Zongmin to open this small castle in a short period of time.
After all, Wu Sangui is really desperate.
At this time, he even took it personally, this guy who had fought Kang Mazi in history was on the far floor of Fuyuan, holding a bow and arrows and constantly shooting the Shun army attacking below......
"Cannon, pull Lao Tzu's cannon up!"
Liu Zongmin roared angrily.
He doesn't have Hongyi artillery here, because he is not the main direction of attack, originally he and Tang Tong were stationed outside the pass just to block Shanhaiguan, block Wu Sangui's contact with the outside world, and resist the attack of Tunqi, and he was not responsible for the attack on Shanhaiguan, the main direction of attack was Weiyuan Gate in the north of the city and Wangyang Gate in the south of the city, and there were also along the Great Wall line, all Hongyi cannons were concentrated outside the Wangyang Gate in the first main direction of attack, but Liu Zongmin still had a lot of Furlong machines here, and soon ten Furlong machines were pushed over.
"Boom, fuck this shit!"
Liu Zongmin looked at Wu Sangui upstairs in Fuyuan and said viciously.
After saying that, he immediately retreated.
Although he really wanted to light the fire himself, but it was very risky to do so, saying that he knew very well what kind of virtue the Fran machine made by the Ming Ministry of Industry was, don't kill Wu Sangui, first blow himself up.
The artillerymen immediately set fire.
With the flames erupting from the muzzle, ten solid bullets immediately whistled out, and instantly crashed into the towering Fuyuan Tower, but because the cannonball was too small, although it hit the city tower with fragments, it did not cause too serious damage, Wu Sangui looked at Liu Zongmin outside with the same cruel smile in the splash of broken wood and bricks.
"Liu Zongmin, look at your back!"
Suddenly, he shouted.
The two were only more than 100 meters apart, and his shout Liu Zongmin could barely hear it, and the old bandit immediately turned his head, and then showed a look of astonishment, because at this time, in the black of the mountains stretching to the north, a little fire suddenly lit up......
"Beacon!"
The subordinate beside him exclaimed.
And at the same time, on Weiyuan City, which was his garrison base, the alarm bell suddenly rang.
Liu Zongmin looked at Wu Sangui hatefully.
"Regent, the Regent's army has arrived!"
Wu Sangui screamed like crazy.
"Retreat, form formation, and prepare to meet the enemy!"
Liu Zongmin also screamed.
The Shun army, which was attacking the Fuyuan Gate, immediately retreated like a tide, quickly retreated to Weiyuan City, and the cannons on the back of this small city began to line up, and Li Zicheng, who was originally in the southern wing of the city, also led the Shun army to rush out of the Great Wall, rushing to the south of Weiyuan City, with the Shahe River as the barrier array, and Tian Jianxiu, who was originally going to enter the Guancheng in the northern wing city, immediately withdrew and lined up on the left flank of Liu Zongmin.
Before they could finish their formation, the light of countless torches appeared in the final darkness before dawn.
Dolgon's army has finally arrived.
Although it was only the forward cavalry of Duoduo who arrived.
They are completely desperate for this battle of national fortunes, Dolgon has lost too much for this war, if he can't succeed, he will not have good fruit to eat when he returns to Shenyang, Zilharang, Daishan, Hauge who has just been defeated by him, these people will not let him go. As a loser to go back, it is difficult for him to keep his position as regent, and the generals of the same Eight Banners have no one to obey him anymore, and the relatives of those fallen soldiers also hate him, a boss who did not bring back victory but brought back countless shames, what qualifications does he have to continue to be the boss?
The strong are respected!
The loser can only be spurned!
So he chose to make a desperate bet, did not stop attacking Ning Yuan but crossed directly outside the city, after all, he didn't know what was happening at Shanhaiguan, if he could arrive before the infighting, then he would still be the winner.
Although Li Guo immediately led the cavalry to attack, but after all, he still couldn't stop the surging 70,000 banners, Dolgon just left 10,000 guards to contain him, and then the main force continued to rush towards Shanhaiguan, Song Quan in Ningyuan City not only did not send troops to help Li Guo, but took advantage of the opportunity of Li Guo to leave the city, and Zhang Shenyan abandoned the city and fled back to Juehua Island.
Tang Tong's infantry was crushed at the touch of a blow in the face of Dolgon.
Although he had 30,000 miscellaneous Shun infantry or surrendered Ming troops, he collapsed in front of Duoduo's 10,000 forwards, and then he poured into the nearest Shahou with a group of remnants of the defeated generals.
The same was true of the Ming army that went north.
The 20,000 infantry of the Ming Army, led by Tang Yu, the former Xuanhua general soldier who came to the rescue with Song Quan, also collapsed at the touch of a button.
Not even touched, to be exact.
Tang Yu was dismissed at home because of corruption, because the generals who came from the south for reinforcements had no actual combat experience and were not familiar with the terrain, so Empress Yi'an reactivated him to lead the troops, it is obvious that this guy is indeed rich in actual combat experience, it is simply too rich, Tang Tong's side has not collapsed, he has already taken his subordinates to flee to Gaotai Fort as quickly as possible, and let the Qing army pass through the road......
"It's completely organized and premeditated!"
Yang Qing stood on the tower of the east gate of the town, looking at Dongluo City in the bloody battle below, and sighed.
This is indeed organized and premeditated, it is obvious that some people still want to let Li Zicheng and Dolgon lose both, and let them lose both can only be a decisive battle at Shanhaiguan, after Li Zicheng takes Shanhaiguan, Dolgon is unlikely to be stupid enough to continue to fight with him Ningyuan, there is no strategic significance to Dolgon, so if you want him to have a decisive battle with Li Zicheng, and then bleed Li Zicheng, then you must let Dolgon go to Shanhaiguan.
As for the masterminds of this big drama......
Song Quan fled without a fight, and had already told Yang Qing who he was.
He was originally ready to defend Ningyuan, but after Zhang Shenyan arrived in Ningyuan, he changed his plan overnight and fled without a fight, saying that Song Quan was a civilian official, and Tang Yu's troops were all reinforcements from Jiangnan, and Fang Guoan, who stayed on Juehua Island, also had no reaction. In fact, they have reached an agreement, that is, to let Dolgon reach Shanhaiguan to fight Li Zicheng, and in the end, even if Li Zicheng wins, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses, so he will not be able to continue south, if Li Zicheng can't beat Dolgon......
Then the Ming army will be put into the battlefield again.
Lian Juehua Island, plus Tang Yu's leadership, and Ninghai City's stay, in addition to Tang Tong's grass on the wall, as well as Li Guo's elite cavalry, these all add up to no less than 100,000 troops, just give Dolgon another fatal blow from behind.
It's the best of both worlds.
It can not only consume Li Zicheng's strength, but also do not have to worry about the uncontrollable variables caused by Dolgon's entry.
The only problem is that Chongzhen may be a little dangerous, after all, there was no infighting in the city when they did this, and the strength of Dolgon and Wu Sangui still surpassed Li Zicheng.
But at this time, I can't care so much.
What's the big deal about sacrificing Chongzhen, Daming is nothing more than a change of emperor.
Besides, with the minds of those civil officials, they can basically guess the effect that Yang Qing will bring if he worships Ao in front of Shanhaiguan, they know better than Yang Qing and Li Zicheng what kind of goods are in Shanhaiguan City, and it is completely impossible to say that Gao Di and his ilk do not do it in this situation.
Of course, this is just Yang Qing's speculation.
It is also possible that the Ming army was simply frightened by Dorgon's army.
But in any case, the decisive battle outside the Shanhai Pass has been formed, and at this time, the remaining enemy forces in Dongluo City have become a threat that must be quickly resolved......
"Why are you forcing me to do it!"
Yang Qing was talking to himself like those pretending to be criminals in martial arts TV series.
After speaking, in the stunned gaze of Liu Fangliang beside him, he jumped out of the city tower and fell towards the fierce battle of Dongluo City, and before he could land the huge mace in his hand, he threw it, this exaggerated weapon spun down in mid-air with a strange whistling sound, and instantly smashed into a team of Qing cavalry that was attacking the Shun army, and the head of the leader immediately disappeared in the impact, and then continued to smash forward with his mace of brain and blood to smash out a splash of flesh and blood.
At the same time, Yang Qing stepped on the flying dust and landed.
At the moment of landing, a Qing cavalry came to him, he did not have any weapons in his hand, his hands clenched his fists without the slightest hesitation and smashed down according to the horse's head, the war horse immediately knelt down with a scream, and the Qing cavalry on horseback was immediately lifted away, but before he could fly out of the horse's head, Yang Qing grabbed his right foot with both hands at the same time, and then dragged him and threw him forward, the unlucky Qing cavalry screamed and flew back, and fell into the cavalry behind.
"Yang Qing is here, who dares to fight with me!"
Yang Qing suddenly let out a furious roar.
Liu Fangliang on the city tower was instantly petrified......
