"What about this surnamed Tang?" Lu Dayou glanced back at Tang Ren, who was sitting on the ground wailing, and asked with some concern.

"If you are honest, it's fine, otherwise find a chance to be him!" Hao Shaoqi said with murderous aura.

Tens of thousands of people continued to the south, and just dozens of miles away from Jingshan, Wu Sangui, the vanguard of the Qing army, was hesitating.

In this attack on the Southern Ming, Wu Sangui was ordered to accompany the British prince Azig on the expedition, and he led 5,000 Guanning iron cavalry as the vanguard of the army.

At the beginning, the news of the fall of Beijing and the martyrdom of Chongzhen reached Shanhaiguan, and Wu Sangui and his Guanning army were forced to a dead end.

Da Ming is dead, where should he go for tens of thousands of people?

Outside the Guan, there is a Manchurian Tartar eyeing the enemy, and Beijing inside the Guanxi has been occupied by thieves, and his tens of thousands of people are in a dilemma.

In this case, he had to make a choice, although he still had 40,000 troops and seemed to be strong, but the army's food supply was not self-sufficient. Every year, the court had to allocate a large amount of food and salary to him.

Without food and salary to help, no matter how many troops he has, he can only be defeated.

So, he had to make a choice. At that time, the Dashun army swept the world has been unstoppable, Datong, Xuanfu, Jizhen border troops all surrendered to Dashun, Jiang Huang, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, these generals have surrendered to the new dynasty, and still hold the military power.

Therefore, when the envoy of Dashun came to Shanhaiguan and promised to crown him as Ping Xibo and still serve as the chief soldier, Wu Sangui decisively changed his flag and surrendered to Dashun.

Of course, it is also a proper duty to transfer Beijing from Shanhaiguan, and Wu Sangui does not have much resistance in his heart.

Knowing that when the army arrived in Yingzhou, the servants of the family in Beijing came to tell him that his house had been raided by thieves, his father Wu Xiang had been arrested and imprisoned, and his concubine Chen Yuanyuan had been occupied by thieves Liu Zongmin, Wu Sangui was shocked and then furious.

If you can't even save your home, how can you go to Dashun! Maybe there are traps waiting for you in Beijing.

Wu Sangui categorically ordered the whole army to retreat and return to Shishanhaiguan. The hatred of the country and the family overwhelmed Wu Sangui's mind, so that he no longer thought about it, and directly sent a letter to the sworn enemy Dolgon, the head of the Manchu Tartars, inviting him to enter the Shanhaiguan.

The Manchus did not treat him badly, and gave Wu San Gui the throne of King Pingxi, above the generals of the Han army who had defected to the Manchus. However, from this time, Wu Sangui had no choice but to work hard for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if he heard the news that Chongzhen was still alive.

The families of his army were all in the hands of the Manchus, and he had no choice at this time.

This time he went out to attack the thieves, Wu Sangui took the initiative to ask to be the vanguard, because Li Zicheng, the enemy who killed his father, was in front.

Now, when he heard the Malay report that the thieves had broken and turned to the south, Wu Sangui hesitated. Li Zicheng went to Hanyang with the main force of the thieves, why didn't this group of defeated soldiers choose to return to the division with Li Zicheng?

After a short hesitation, Wu Sangui quickly made a decision and ordered the guerrilla general Guo Yunlong to lead a thousand cavalry to chase after the rout, and he himself led the brigade towards Hanyang Mansion.

Although the number of this group of routs is large, the defeated army is no longer a cause for concern, and it is still important to chase Li Zicheng and not give him a chance to breathe.

"If you can't take it, you just need to stick to this group of routs, and you can send someone to the Prince of England to ask for reinforcements." After thinking about it, Wu Sangui commanded. Prince Azig followed behind with the main force of the Eight Banners, and there was no need for his own army to fight to the death with the thieves.

"Look, Lord!" Guo Yunlong gave a military salute to Wu Sangui and led the troops with confidence.

"The distance between the Mantar cavalry is less than twenty miles!" Hearing that his subordinates had returned from the horse cavalry, Hao Shaoqi frowned. The distance is less than twenty miles, and it will not take much time to catch up with the speed of the cavalry.

Although there are not too many enemy cavalry in pursuit, most of these people are routed soldiers, and they have long been killed by the full tartars, maybe as long as the enemy cavalry charges, everyone will flee in the wilderness.

"What should I do?" Lu Dayou also became nervous.

"You lead the brigade to continue to advance, and I will lead the troops to stop them!" After thinking about it for a while, Hao Shaoqi said categorically.

"Big brother, you go first, I'll stay and stop it!" Lu Dayou hurriedly shouted.

"Listen to orders!" Hao Shaoqi glared at Lu Dayou, and Lu Dayou had to obey orders.

Hearing that the Mantars were chasing after them, the routs quickened their pace.

Hao Shaoqi led his 3,000 main infantry and quietly hid in the dense forest behind a hill.

Soon, the earth shook violently, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder was heard, and large clouds of smoke and dust appeared in the north.

From Hao Shaoqi, the three thousand soldiers of the Shun army, all with wooden sticks in their mouths, watched the Manchu cavalry pass by outside the dense forest and chase towards the rout.

Looking at the appearance of the routed soldiers fleeing all over the mountains and fields not far away, Guo Yunlong sneered, no matter how many people there are, such a rout is just a group of pigs and sheep to be slaughtered. The order was given, and a thousand cavalry divided into a dozen or so units to slaughter the rout.

In the face of the rushing Tartar cavalry, the rout soldiers cried and howled, and only knew how to take the road and go. In the face of his companions who were blocking him, he pushed and even used knives and guns, and the whole team was in chaos.

Lu Dayou watched dumbfounded, the eldest brother clearly led the main force to block the attack, why did the Mantar cavalry come so quickly, could it be that the eldest brother was already unlucky?

"The whole army is arrayed, and the Tartars are killed!" Lu Dayou roared angrily and commanded his 1,000 brothers to form a phalanx, blocking the pace of the Mantar cavalry chasing and killing the rout.

Hao Shaoqi's army was 4,000 people, Hao Shaoqi brought 3,000, and Lu Dayou was left with 1,000 soldiers. These 1,000 people are not routed soldiers, but elite soldiers trained by Hao Shaoqi in the Xishan Army model.

However, under the onslaught of the rout, it was very difficult for a team of 1,000 men to form a phalanx.

Looking at the group of thieves who were trying to block the formation not far away, Guo Yunlong showed a sneer on his face, whistled, and rushed over with two hundred cavalry. Fifty paces from the phalanx, all the horsemen reined in their horses, took their bows from their bows, and then bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows rained down on the phalanx.

Guanning Iron Cavalry, although the cavalry and archery cannot be compared with the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, everyone can shoot arrows.

Two hundred feathered arrows fell into the formation, and dozens of people were shot to the ground.

"Resist, resist!" Looking at the Mantar cavalry dozens of paces away, Lu Dayou cheered loudly while trying to stop the counterattack, in his thousand army, there were more than 100 firecrackers, and there were dozens of archers. However, the speed of the firebolt reloading was too slow, and after a few moments, several rounds of arrows fell into the array, and the phalanx suddenly wavered.

"Big brother, where are you?" Looking at the crumbling phalanx, Lu Dayou called out in his heart.

As if hearing his cry, in the north, from among the mountains and from the dense forests, a large group of Shun soldiers with weapons in their hands poured out and surrounded the scattered Manchu cavalry.
