At the beginning of the war, it entered the white heat, the Shun army did not let the common people and miscellaneous soldiers take the lead as before, but by Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi directly led the soldiers to launch an overwhelming offensive, the Qing army was at the forefront of Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, both of whom had the old foundation of the Ming border army, with excellent weapons and strong combat power, and did not show weakness to attack against attack, and kept shouting "revenge" in the mouth - another old account, the Shun army was defeated and fled south to Shanhaiguan, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen were intercepted by the Qing army, and they knew that they were invincible and surrendered, and Li Zicheng was ruthless enough, Bai Guangen and Tang Tong hated Li Zicheng so much that they also led troops to attack the old camp of the Shun army, slaughtering a large number of the dependents of the soldiers of the Shun army, including dozens of relatives of Li Zicheng's hometown. Both sides of the army to Yansui people are capable, but they have formed a deep hatred, the villagers meet mercilessly, gritting their teeth and fighting together, the battlefield will be left in a short time countless corpses, red blood stained the earth.

The combat power of the Shun army is not comparable to the border army, several attacks failed but suffered heavy casualties, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi gradually lost their support, and hurriedly sent a signal for help, Li Guo and Liu Xiyao were furious, and each led the cavalry to storm the flank of the Qing army, and the Guanning cavalry quickly attacked and intercepted, the cavalry on both sides collided together, killing people on their backs, and blood splashed, Wu Sangui's general Guo Yunlong was chopped into pulp, and Liu Xiyao's Zuo Guoyi general Bai Minghe also died in the random arrows - hand-to-hand combat was too tragic, the casualties of the Shun army increased sharply, and the more he fought, the more panicked, The cavalry was defeated first, and the infantry formation began to be chaotic, and Tian Jianxiu, who was behind the palace, knew that it was not good, and he was in a hurry to order Gao Yigong, Wu Ruyi led the army to reinforce, and the Shun army had a chance to breathe before stabilizing the position.

"After so many years of fighting, it's still the same, what's the use of these soldiers coming so badly?" On a hill west of the battlefield, Ma Guangyuan shook his head and put down his clairvoyance, glanced at Li Zicheng beside him and asked, "How does King Chuang think this battle should be fought?" ”

Li Zicheng's face turned pale, and he hesitated for a while and replied, "Ma Shuai should send the Datong Army up." ”

Ma Guangyuan sneered, waved his hand and shouted to his own soldiers: "Pass my order, Hu Dawei's troops press forward, push the camp cannon up and shoot the Qing army over the top, don't be afraid of accidental injury, give me a hard beating, if the Shun army dares to retreat, it will be blocked back, and those who do not obey the order will be beheaded immediately." ”

"We've done our best, you still have Zhang Ding, Ma Jinzhong, and Hu Dawei in your hands, and you can defeat Wu Sangui if you go up, can't you leave us a way to live?" Li Zicheng stomped his feet and shouted.

"Nonsense, can you tell me where the main force of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army is? How can I deal with them without leaving elites in my hands, can your rotten soldiers do it? ”

"And what about the two towns on your flanks, why don't they do their best?"

Ma Xianglin and Ma Kebu on the two wings of the Datong Army did not fight very well, it was not that they did not do their best, but that Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming behaved too strangely - when the Eight Banners Han Army shrank into a group, they advanced and retreated, and they always played tricks and refused to fight, and they also showed favor to the Tianming cannon, Ma Guangyuan quickly came back to his senses, and the other party also planned to borrow a knife to kill people to clean up the internal troubles, Wu Sangui was not unlucky The Eight Banners Army would definitely not be involved in a decisive battle, which was in his arms, and he also ordered Ma Xianglin and Ma Ke to deal with it in vain, so the battlefield on both wings was fought with a lot of wind and rain, However, these things couldn't be said, Ma Guangyuan waved his hand and scolded: "I know how to fight this battle, what do you know, don't shut up quickly!" ”

"Fight yourselves, and I'll take my brothers away."

After Li Zicheng finished speaking resentfully, he turned his head and walked down the mountain, but he didn't take a few steps before he was hit by a few short guns, and Li Shuangxi, the leader of the pro-soldiers, shouted and pulled out his knife and pounced on Ma Guangyuan, and fell to the ground after a few bangs, and at the same time Li Zicheng's personal soldiers were also surrounded.

"There is an order from the Presidential Palace, the thief Li Zicheng and others can be treated kindly, if they dare to change the law, they will be disarmed on the spot," Ma Guangyuan took a few steps forward and waved his hand to his soldiers, and then sneered at Li Zicheng, "If you dare to run, I will immediately order the withdrawal of the army, Wu Sangui will definitely kill you without leaving a piece of armor, to be honest, it will not hurt you." ”

There was a roar from the front, Hu Dawei's more than a dozen thousand catties of camp guns fired, the cannons drew a long arc and roared away, the Qing army was caught off guard and was hit by a blow to the head, and the arrogance suddenly decreased greatly, it was tired and hungry at noon, and they were clamoring to eat, Wu Sangui had to order to rest on the spot. The Shun army also suffered a few cannons from friendly troops, scolded and didn't want to do it, and the group turned around and ran, Hu Dawei did not hesitate to order the artillery to fire shotguns to intercept, the deserters were knocked down a large area, and the living did not dare to run anymore, and the Datong cavalry caught up and beat and scolded them and drove them back to the same place.

The auxiliary soldiers brought lunch, the soldiers of the Shun army were in a little calm, sat on the ground and devoured it, but the generals were still frowning, sighing while eating, Li Guo looked up and saw Zhang Ding striding over, put down the big bowl and shouted: "Eagle Master, the brothers really tried their best, what do you say if the battle is like this?" ”

Zhang Ding sat down with a gloomy face, casually asked for two pastries and a bowl of soup, clapped his hands and said after eating almost completely: "You guys are embarrassed to say that you tried your best, why don't you send the elite?" Let all of you bullshit cavalrymen on horseback and mules dismount and form a vanguard army to tear open the gap and crush the Qing army. ”

The cavalry of the Shun army is very messy, even if there is a horse or mule, even if it is a cavalry, these people are often bandits who have been doing it for a few years, and they are also the elite of the army, and the ability to fight and kill people is definitely not bad.

"Master Diao, we do have the intention to preserve our strength, but even if we send all the elites, we may not be able to beat Wu Sangui, and besides, Guan Ning's iron cavalry is too powerful, without these people to resist for a while, we don't even have a chance to run." Yuan Zongdi said with a red face.

"I'm here to deal with Guan Ning Tieqi, you just clench your fists and beat hard, I remind you, don't always think about escaping, if you don't kill Wu Sangui in this battle, none of you will survive," Zhang Ding waved his hand, stood up and said sharply, "From now on, I will command you, who is not convinced?" ”

The old-timers spoke, no one dared to disagree, and all the generals of the Shun army stood up to express their obedience. Soon after noon, the battlefield was lively again, but the two armies fought unhurriedly and loosely as if they had not digested their meals. After such a small fight for more than half an hour, three horn arrows on each wing of the Qing army exploded in the air - Ma Xianglin and Ma Ke succeeded, and they accompanied the Qing army to play a game of tug-of-war with each other all morning, and this time Kong Youde and Geng Zhong were forced to retreat three miles as usual, and Wu Sangui's flank lost protection. Zhang Ding was waiting for this opportunity, waved his hand and ordered an attack, Bao Rongge and Su Hai quickly attacked to control Wu Sangui's two wings, Wu Ruyi, Tian Hu, and Zhang Neng each led a Xuan Feng army to pounce on the Qing army at the same time.

"Brothers, swear to kill the Wu thief today, and never die!" The more than 3,000 Shun army commanders were all elite soldiers who had fought for many years, well-armed and fierce, and rushed forward with a loud shout, and the mortars of the three towns opened fire at the same time to cover it. The Qing army's guns, bows and arrows could not stop the flow of people, so they simply brandished swords and spears to launch a counterattack, and the two sides quickly collided with each other in close combat. The Shun army was fierce and fierce, regardless of life and death, and even dared to exchange life for life, the Qing army was frightened by these desperate guys, and the more they fought, the more frightened they became, and they were a little overwhelmed after half an hour. Zhang Ding found that the situation was favorable, and quickly sent Liu Fangliang and Liu Xiyao to lead a large group of men and horses to reinforce forward, and the Qing army was beaten out of breath and continuously sent distress signals.

Guan Ning Iron Cavalry quickly reinforced the front from both wings, hit the Datong Iron Cavalry headlong, first suffered a three-wheel horse salvo, and then was blocked by a dense rain of arrows, and had the intention to fight back The three-eyed gun in his hand could not hit the opponent, and after losing hundreds of people in vain, he was ordered to retreat to the same place - Wu Sangui felt sorry for the old man, and was unwilling to fight to the death with the Datong army, and ordered Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong to recapture the two wings, these two guys were also angry, and played the game of you advance and I retreat all morning, and I entered and you retreated, but this time the Datong army did not retreat, and the hard fight must have suffered heavy casualties, Wu Sangui didn't want to fold his capital, and we can't be fools, anyway, he was doomed to be unlucky, so let's fight by myself, so the Qing army's wings shouted and killed and the sound of guns and cannons became louder, but the situation was still the same.

The battle ahead is becoming more and more intense, and it is becoming more and more bloody, the Shun army is overwhelmed, and a batch of dead people come up again, the Qing army has suffered heavy casualties but can't wait for reinforcements, and finally can't stand the hard battle for more than two hours, and turns around and flees backwards - if you want to find the Shun army to take revenge, you have to save your life first. Wu Sangui couldn't stop the deserters, and he was reluctant to use his old book, seeing that it was getting late, he ordered the withdrawal of the army back to the camp, and the Shun army really couldn't move, so he stopped and collected the troops, and the battlefield with tens of thousands of corpses and rivers of blood fell silent.

Xiangcheng battalion, Sun Shoufa and Li Dingguo sent messengers to report, the two arrived in Xiangcheng tonight, Ma Guangyuan smiled, ordered the two armies to hide and standby, and then took Li Zicheng to run to congratulate the Shun army. Ma Guangyuan arrived at the Shunjun camp, praised the Shun army, encouraged everyone to make persistent efforts to eradicate the Wu thief, and also increased the military salary for a month on the spot, and the soldier was happy when he got the money, but Li Zicheng's face was very ugly, and his heart was still bleeding - this is his money, Ma Guangyuan, of course, is not distressed to buy people's hearts with other people's money.

Wu Sangui was like sitting on pins and needles this night, the morale of the army in the camp was floating, some people took advantage of the chaos to desert, and Cherge, Wu Bai and Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming's departments captured the deserters not only did not punish, but ate and drank well to co-opt them, this is simply intentional connivance, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen's old departments all jumped ship when they heard the news, and now there are only more than 20,000 people left in the camp, and Cherge and Wu Bai also sent people to warn him that if he still wants to eat the bowl of rice in the Qing Dynasty, he must go all out to annihilate the thieves tomorrow - the Qing Dynasty is indeed generous, and he is a prince when he makes a move, This job is really reluctant, but his strength has risen too fast to make the Qing court jealous, especially when he publicly said that he is only willing to fight the Liukou and not to fight the Ming army, the regent must have an idea in his heart, it seems that he can't save his life if he is not reluctant, so he can only fight to the death, Wu Sangui silently made up his mind.

Early the next morning, the two armies arrived at the battlefield almost at the same time, but the lineup changed, the Qing army Cherge and Wu Baibu appeared behind Wu Sangui, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming collected more than 20,000 deserters, and they were also a little eager to try, Ma Guangyuan sneered at the Qing army, responded in time, and transferred Ma Jinzhong and Hu Dawei to the two wings to reinforce Ma Xianglin and Ma Ke, Zhang Dingbu and Liu Wenxiu's troops delayed to take over various places, and at the same time ordered Sun Shoufa and Li Dingguo to rush to the battlefield in the afternoon.

"There are nearly 40,000 troops in the Shun army, and they should be able to take more than 20,000 people from Wu Sangui, order them to attack immediately, let's wait and see, and then we will clean up one by one when the reinforcements arrive." Ma Guangyuan gave the order with a smile on his face.

The strength is absolutely superior, the generals of the Shun army are full of confidence, they can't wait to eat Wu Sangui in one bite, and each leads the headquarters to pounce on the Wu army with murderous spirit, Wu Sangui is not afraid, and personally leads the army to meet the battle - the Guan Ning army is still there, and the three thousand double salaries are still there, and he is confident that he can defeat this rabble.

The Guanning army is strong, more than half of them are cavalry, and there are a large number of Mongolians who ride ** Zhan in the three thousand double pay soldiers, and they will easily tear apart the large array of the Shun army soon after the hand, and more than 20,000 cavalry take advantage of the situation to slash and kill wantonly, and they are invincible everywhere they pass, but the Shun army is more powerful but does not have the advantage, but is rampaged by the other party and kills countless people, and the scene of the battle in front of Shanhaiguan seems to be re-staged.

"Rush up and entangle them in a scuffle." Tian Jianxiu loudly ordered the whole army - the Barbarian Mountain Wuxuan School said that the power of cavalry lies first in speed, even if it is a pile of dead corpses, it must force the opponent to slow down.

The Shun army is really desperate, Liu Xiyao, the general of the right battalion system, personally went into battle, surrounded Wu Sangui's three thousand family Ding to exchange their lives for their lives, not retreating an inch, was killed by random arrows, Gao Yigong immediately picked up and continued to fight, Wu Sangui's family fought hard for a long time, more than half of the casualties, was forced to retreat step by step, Yang Kun, the deputy general of the Qing army, rushed to support, Gao Yigong was defeated by Yang Kun, was seriously injured and was carried out of the battlefield, Guoyi General Zhang Neng hit the red eye, led his subordinates to ride a horse and collided with the cavalry of the Qing army, the two sides collided with people on their backs, Zhang Neng also died in the chaos, Li Guo lost his love general, led his own soldiers to rush up to take revenge, and surrounded Yang Kun and hacked him to death. The bloody battle of the Shun army had an effect, and Wu Sangui had to order the whole army to dismount and form a formation, continue to advance with foot combat, and at the same time call for help from friendly forces.

Cherge and Wu Bai were actually close to the battlefield, but their Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners only had more than 3,000 people, and they did not dare to rush to the battlefield, and ordered the Han Eight Banners to come to meet, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming came very obediently, but they also provoked Ma Jinzhong, Hu Dawei, Ma Xianglin, Ma Ke Four Towns Infantry and Zhang Ding's cavalry, and the Eight Banners not only did not have a chance to save Wu Sangui, but were forced to retreat five miles, and Wu Sangui had to resign himself to fate.

The Wu army was more tenacious in the face of the predicament, opening the way with bows and arrows and guns, and slowly advancing in a dense infantry formation, of course, the Shun army would not let go of Wu Sangui, and surrounded the Wu army to fight to the death, but could not stop the pace of the other party. The generals of the Shun army were helpless, watching the Wu army rampage on the corpse of their brother, at this time, the thief army and the Tukou of western Henan entered the battlefield - everyone wanted to do the matter of beating the water dogs, these guys had long been itchy, and Ma Guangyuan generously gave them this credit. Wang Zhong sneered at the Shun army, and ordered more than a dozen mortar cannons to bombard, this blow was fatal, and the continuous flowering bombs disrupted the formation of the Wu army, and the Shun army, the thief army, and the Tukou army rushed up to break the Wu army's infantry formation. The general trend has gone, Wu Sangui's Mongol family first surrendered, and the others followed suit, at noon, the remnants of the Wu army were divided into several pieces, dying and showing defeat.

Ma Guangyuan, who was observing the battle situation in the rear, was triumphant, and the Henan battlefield should have been commanded by the old marshal Du Wenhuan, but the Nanjing court suddenly turned its face, accusing the great complicity of chaos, and issued an edict to Zhejiang General Army Fang Guoan and Fujian General Army Zheng Zhilong to send troops to Jiangxi, and the old marshal rushed to Nanchang to sit in the town, and this great credit happened to fall on his head. The life of this life is too good, when I surrendered to the Jin Army in the Jianchang Camp only one step away, fortunately Li Hanmin pulled me back, and now the military rank is the governor of Tongzhi, Shixun and Baturu, who is alone in the majestic and majestic, Wu Sangui and Li Zi CD are planted in my hands, and the rest of the Qing army Lao Tzu is casually cleaned up - the more Ma Guangyuan thinks about it, the happier he becomes, and humming a little song on his mouth.

"Marshal, a large number of Qing troops have appeared in the direction of Linying, with no less than 50,000 troops, and they are rushing towards our army." The pro-soldier led a scout to report quietly.

"No, the Qing army doesn't have so many soldiers in Henan, do you see the banner clearly?" Ma Guangyuan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly asked the scout.

"There are the banners of Prince Azige of the Qing Dynasty, Shang Kexi, King of Zhishun, Bei Ziboluo, Nikan, Han Dai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Tong Yangjia, the commander of the Wuzhen Chaoha Army, as well as more than 30,000 soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Ming army, it is estimated that they are Xu Dingguo's people, but I didn't see his banner." The scout replied.

miscalculated, I didn't expect Duoduo to transfer all his soldiers to Azig, this battle strategy was wrong - Ma Guangyuan regretted it, and hesitated for a long time before ordering: "Pass my general order, Zhang Ding, Ma Jinzhong, Hu Dawei, Ma Xianglin, and Ma Ke immediately launched an attack on the Eight Banners Army in front of them, Li Dingguo's troops searched to the east to block the enemy in Linying, Sun Shoufa, Hou Shijie, and Tie Biao's troops marched into the battlefield in a hurry, joined the attack on the Eight Banners Army, and must defeat the enemy before the enemy reinforcements arrived." ”

However, before the Datong army started, Cherge and Wu Bai took the lead in attacking, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's more than 40,000 Qing troops swarmed up, and the target was Ma Xianglin and Ma Ke, two weak brigades, this move was right - the Sichuan army of Bushi Town did not fight a hard battle, and was afraid when they saw that the opponent was outnumbered, and soon began to break and flee, Ma Xianglin hurriedly put the sloppy front of the association on top, although the stone soldiers were brave, but they were unable to outnumber, and were beaten back step by step by the Qing army; The old foundation of the eleventh town is the Ming army of Shanhaiguan, these guys are old and recidivist, barely resisting for a while and then surrounded Ma Ke and fled in embarrassment, the deputy town commander He Zhen was angry and hateful, leading Liu Jinzhong's right association to move closer to Ma Xianglin, the strength of the two armies was enhanced, and Zhang Ding, Ma Jinzhong, and Hu Dawei echoed each other, and gradually forced the Qing army to reverse the situation of the war, but the opportunity has been lost and the enemy can not be defeated, so he can only bite the Qing army and wait for reinforcements to arrive to encircle and annihilate the opponent.

The battlefield suddenly changed, Wu Sangui seized the opportunity to issue an arrow to order the remnants to disperse and break through, the Qing army rushed around, and the Shun army, the thief army, and the bandits were busy encircling and there was also chaos, so that Wu Sangui took the road and fled, but this guy also almost lost his old capital, and finally the Guanning army that broke out of the encirclement was less than 3,000 people.
