After ambushing and killing Zu Dashou in Coal Mountain and rescuing Chongzhen, Zhu Qing and others escorted back to the palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This time, they went back to Kunning Palace!
"Princess, you send the traitor's head to the torture hall, and ask someone to guard it first, don't defile this peaceful place in the harem." When approaching Kunning Palace, Chongzhen suddenly stopped and said to Wang Chengen, who was carrying the head of Zu Dashou.
"Yes!" Wang Chengen had to take two guards and take away Zu Dashou's head.
After Wang Chengen left, Chongzhen pushed open the gate of Kunning Palace, and the people in the door were all surprised to see Chongzhen's figure, Queen Zhou and Zhiyun Xiuyu Erjian were surprised, and Da Yuer and Fulin were frightened.
As soon as Empress Zhou saw Chongzhen enter the door, she threw herself into his arms desperately and cried.
"I'm wrong,......" Chongzhen said, taking Queen Zhou and Princess Chu Ling into his arms and hugging them tightly. The family hugged each other and cried.
Zhu Qing and the others were waiting outside the door, not daring to disturb or wanting to disturb.
After a while, Chongzhen let go of his embrace and walked to the corner position, where Da Yu'er's mother and son also hugged each other tightly, but they trembled with fear.
"I know that this may not be fair to your mother and son, but I can't help it, this is the fate between you and me." Chongzhen looked at Da Yu'er and Fulin, said lightly, and then turned to Zhu Qing and nodded, "Take it away!" Chongzhen ordered in a non-negotiable tone.
With a wave of Zhu Qing's right hand, several brocade guards rushed into Kunning Palace and brought Da Yu'er and Fulin out.
"Weaving clouds and embroidering rain!" Chongzhen said suddenly.
"The last general!" Weaving clouds and embroidering rain and two swords answered.
"Protect the mother and the princess well, there must be no mistakes!" Chongzhen ordered.
"Yes!" Two swords hugging fists.
"I'm going to discuss with Qinglong and take good care of our daughter." Before leaving, Chongzhen gently wiped the tears from the corners of Queen Zhou's eyes and said gently.
"Hmm!" Empress Zhou nodded with satisfaction, and was about to save Chu Ling, but Chu Ling broke free and said, "Father, Ling'er wants to go with you, and the Qinglong hero promised to take Ling'er." ”
Empress Zhou and the others were taken aback, and then coaxed, "Ling'er, your father and the Qinglong hero are going to discuss big things, don't mess around with the children." ”
"I'm not messing around! The Qinglong hero promised to teach me martial arts, and we even pulled the hook! Isn't it the Blue Dragon Hero?! Chu Ling pouted and shouted out the door.
When everyone heard this, they all pursed their lips and laughed. When Zhu Qing was frowning, Sai Shiqian suddenly pushed Zhu Qing, "Hey, big brother, this little girl is sticking to you, ahahaha......" As soon as Sai Shiqian joked, his subordinates dared to laugh even more.
"Go, go, don't talk nonsense, it's important to get down to business!" Zhu Qing glared at Sai Shiqian and said.
"Yes, yes, yes." Shi Qian had to hold back a smile and respond.
"Uh...... Princess Chu Ling, when you defeat the enemy, the Qinglong hero will definitely teach you martial arts! Now the Green Dragon Hero has to do other things first, if you are disobedient, but the breach of contract is the first, the Green Dragon Hero will ignore you. "Zhu Qing can even coax a table of mahjong over, and is he afraid of a yellow-haired girl? Sure enough, three or two sentences made Princess Chu Ling honest.
"Okay...... Chu Ling had no choice but to mutter.
Chongzhen looked at his playful daughter, shook his head and smiled, and walked out of Kunning Palace.
Chongzhen, Zhu Qing and the others took Da Yu'er and Fu Lin's mother and son to the front door to meet with Kill Feng and the others to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy!
At this time, Dolgon was in the military camp outside the Forbidden City, and although he besieged the Forbidden City, he was always uneasy in his heart. He ordered the final battle to be fought after dawn, but the night was so long.
"I don't know what's going on in Bei'anmen." Dolgon muttered worriedly, the closer to success, the more uneasy the conqueror became, for the power of power and desire was terrible. A Han Chinese who can betray his country and monarch cannot be swayed by the temptation in front of him.
However, Dorgon's worries deviated from the direction, and it can be said that Zu Dashou, who had no way out, would not betray him, and he tried his best to curry favor with him, wanting to make meritorious contributions in front of him and ask for rewards. However, in the time of the two incense sticks just now, the tacit understanding between this pair of monarchs and ministers was shattered by Zhu Qing.
"The prince doesn't have to worry too much, if there is a situation in Bei'anmen, our people will have reported it a long time ago." Dolgon's lieutenants reassured.
Dolgon nodded, looking around outside the tent, but kept sighing, "I don't know what happened to Duoduo who went south, Kaifeng on the west road will be fine, right?" Also, how long has it been since Shanhaiguan routinely reported the military situation? What's even more worrying is that where is the 100,000 army sent out by this king to find Qinglong now? Why hasn't there been any news?! "Dolgon is asking questions, and he is also worried, he seems to have everything in order, but he seems to be reassuring everywhere!
"Prince, it's only been a day or two, presumably there will be news from all over the world before dawn." Dorgon's cronies had been comforting their king, and they seemed to sense that even the king who had collapsed before him could not help but show the weaknesses and apprehensions of an ordinary man when he was about to achieve his great plans.
"I hope so!" Dorgon nodded slightly, sighed heavily, and returned to his tent.
This time, however, Dolgon didn't get his way!
At the same time that Qinglong attacked Zu Dashou in Bei'anmen to the west, several other garrison defense points of Dolgon were almost facing a fatal blow.
First of all, the 70,000 iron horsemen from the north, under the leadership of Sodoye, mistakenly entered the rocky hill of the Heavenly Wolf Canyon. The rocky hill itself is already difficult to deal with, and many people who broke into the rocky hill before, many people were trapped inside. The very few who escaped were lucky enough to find a way out by mistake. Now Sodoye's army of 70,000 is sinking deeper and deeper under the confusion of night. When they realize that something is wrong, an even greater danger suddenly appears in front of them.
"Will ...... General, take a look...... Wolf...... Many, many wolves! Someone suddenly screamed, and Sodoye looked around, and among the rocks, green light loomed, and a low voice conveyed the breath of death.
"Quick! Get ready for battle! "Sodoye is a warrior of the steppe, and naturally knows how to deal with the siege of the wolves. But he never imagined that this was a more organized and strategically threatening wolf pack.
"Woo......" On top of a boulder, a white shadow looks up to the sky trombone, it is not a wolf, but a person!
With this wolf howl, the wolves launched an attack on the Qing army in the chaotic stone hill! And the one who commanded them was the real wolf king Cao Huachun.
"This is a wolf from a wolf's den!" By the time Sodoye discovered the situation, it was too late, and the wolves took advantage of the cover of night to pounce on the soldiers, chasing after 70,000 troops scurrying through the rocky hills. Pounce, bite, wail...... Tonight's Heavenly Wolf Canyon has become the burial place of 70,000 Qing troops! The screams continued from midnight until dawn...... In the melee, Sodoye was beheaded by Cao Huachun himself, and the 70,000 Qing troops were annihilated. Cao Huachun rode a white horse and led the wolves out of the Sky Wolf Canyon and headed west.
And to the northwest of the road of Tianluo Canyon is Shanhaiguan! The battle at Shanhaiguan has been going on for a day and two nights. Cheng Li and Tie Mian and others led 50,000 Ming troops to the 100,000 Qing troops stationed at Shanhaiguan. Cheng Li took advantage of the easy to attack and difficult to defend side gate of Shanhaiguan to attack Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop, and caught the Qing army off guard. The generals of the Qing army suddenly got up from their sleep and hurriedly organized a counterattack, and it seemed that they had lost more than 10,000 people, and when the Qing army entered the combat state, more than 20,000 people were lost, and this sleep made some Qing troops never wake up.
Suddenly, he had no choice but to send someone to Beijing to ask for help, but unexpectedly, the messenger met Sodoye on the way, and Sodoye blocked the way of the teleporter and gave him 30,000 reinforcements to support Shanhaiguan!
However, the defeat was like a mountain, and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack by Cheng Li and Tiemiao, who were caught off guard by Cheng Li and Tie Mian, and the morale was greatly damaged, and the Qing army was defeated and retreated, and when the messenger arrived with 30,000 reinforcements, the 100,000 army was defeated and there were less than 50,000 left. Coupled with the fact that the mount was attacked by the iron mask, the iron cavalry of the Qing army could not play any role at all, although it was a warrior on the grassland, but the 50,000 Ming army was the elite of the Jinyi Guard, not only replenished the firearms and ammunition from Juehua Island before the expedition, but also regained his self-confidence when he followed Zhu Qing to attack Shengjing, plus Cheng Li and the two leaders of the iron mask are the generals who took the lead, and the morale can be described as a great boost. When the fight was not too much to retreat to the pass, the 50,000 Ming army also lost nearly 20,000 people, although the Qing army's more than 50,000 people were already a lot of victories, but Cheng Li and others still felt very sad, after all, it was their most elite troops, everyone was an elite, and no matter how little sacrifice was a great loss!
"Chase! Don't let Dolgon come back too often! Give me all the pursuit! Avenge the dead brothers! Cheng Li's face was stained with blood, and he shouted angrily at the pass with a war knife!
More than 30,000 Ming troops chased after the remnants of the Qing army who retreated to the pass!
However, this time, the Ming army was in big trouble! Because suddenly there were few reinforcements arrived, and they were all menacing cavalry on war horses.
The horses of the two armies neighed, and they fought as soon as they touched, and the battle was very fierce! Cutting each other for most of the night, each has its own losses, and it is not small.
"General, the morale of the Ming army is at its peak, and most of my Eight Banners disciples have no mounts, so my subordinates suggest avoiding their edges first!" Seeing that the situation was chaotic, the messenger had twice the strength of the Ming army, but he could not attack it for a long time, but was pressed and beaten by the Ming army, so he suggested to Hu Bu.
"Now in this situation, Cheng Li and Tie Mian are red-eyed, how to avoid it?!" Suddenly, he panicked. He never expected that the dying Ming Dynasty would have such a fierce soldier!
"My subordinates just borrowed 30,000 reinforcements from General Sodoye, and at this moment Sodoye is on the way to the Heavenly Wolf Canyon, as long as we retreat to the Heavenly Wolf Canyon, when the day dawns, we will definitely be able to join forces with General Sodoye to counterattack the Ming army!" The messenger said.
Suddenly, he looked at Cheng Li and Tie Mian, who were angrily killing him, and finally gritted his teeth, and shouted angrily, "Retreat!" Give me a retreat to the Sirius Canyon! ”
The Qing army was ordered to retreat to the Heavenly Wolf Canyon!
"Keep chasing me!" Cheng Li did not give up.
"Wait!" Tie Mian stopped Cheng Li this time, "Poor Kou Mo chase!" We have lost more than 10,000 people in this battle, and the terrain of the Sky Wolf Canyon is complicated, and it may be unfavorable to chase it overnight! "Iron Mask was right to be worried.
But Cheng Li shook his head, he looked in the direction of Beijing, "What you said is indeed right, but thinking about General Qinglong's facing hundreds of thousands of enemy troops in the capital at the moment, what is our difficulty?" If we let Kubu make a comeback and come to Dorgon's aid, it will be our big mistake! Besides, the terrain of the Sky Wolf Canyon is complicated, isn't it just right to trap it? ”
Tie Mian looked at Cheng Li's determined eyes, he knew that the Ming warrior in front of him was ready to die and stumble, and a sense of admiration arose.
This is Qinglong's subordinates! Tie Mian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and nodded to Cheng Li, "Okay!" I'm with you! Kill! ”
The Ming army, which had less than 20,000 people left, followed Cheng Li and Tie Mian, the two generals, took advantage of the situation to pursue and retreat to the Heavenly Wolf Canyon!
Pursuing more than 50,000 people with less than 20,000 troops did not seem to be a wise choice, but the generals Cheng Li and Tie Mian already regarded death as home. Under the rendering of the generals, the Ming army rushed to the Heavenly Wolf Canyon tragically!
Just when everyone was making a determination to die, things suddenly took a turn for the better, and they suddenly made a trip to bite the gold halfway!
Cao Huachun rode Zhu Qing's wind-chasing white horse and led nearly a thousand wolves to surround from the Sky Wolf Canyon! and Cheng Li's confrontation is not much, forming a trend of encirclement!
"General! There are wolves ahead! The messenger suddenly shouted!
Suddenly, he didn't look at it much, looked up to the sky and roared, "The sky is going to destroy Cao!" As he spoke, he drew his sword in anger as he spoke, "The time for the decisive battle has come!" Warriors of the steppe, let's fight for the god of the steppe! "As he spoke, he led the team to fight the wolves!
"Look! It seems to be Grandpa Cao! He's here with a pack of wolves! The guards outside the Qinglong Gate exclaimed!
Cheng Li and Tie Mian looked at it and were excited!
"God help me! Soldiers, Gonggong Cao has led the wolf warrior to support us, kill me! Cheng Li gave an order, and the Ming army killed him from behind!
The two armies and the humans and wolves are mixed up, and the trapped beasts are still fighting more than before, and it is more dangerous than before! This battle is a decisive battle for both sides! All of them are destroyed!
When the sky was bright, he died under Cheng Li's big knife, and Cheng Li couldn't stand up, he received an arrow in the abdomen, and the iron spear was deeply inserted into his thigh!
"General!" The Qinglongmen Imperial Guard said in a panic, his left side was Cheng Li, who fell to the ground silently, and on his right side was an iron mask leaning against the trunk of a tree with one hand covering his eyes, and a feather arrow pierced his right eye. This warrior who lost his left lost another eye.
The whole battlefield was in a mess, with corpses scattered across the field, the Ming army, the Qing army, and the wild wolves......
After the first battle, there were less than 1,000 Ming troops and more than 100 wild wolves that could move, and the Qing army was completely annihilated, which was unbearable.
"Quick! Bring them over! "Cao Huachun, the wolf king who can save Lin Bai who is out of breath, dragged his equally injured leg and said to the imperial guard! They temporarily laid a mat under the big tree, and carried the dying Cheng Li and the silent iron mask covering his eyes. Cao Huachun personally came to the rescue.
After a long time, Cao Huachun breathed a sigh of relief, "His life is saved, but he will have to rely on crutches to live in the future." Cao Huachun said to Tie Mian.
Iron Mask smiled with relief, "As long as we can drink together!" ”
Cao Huachun nodded, he didn't speak, he hadn't seen such a soldier for a long time, if such a soldier appeared before the Ming Dynasty, maybe he wouldn't have come to this point!
After a moment of silence, Cao Huachun said to Tie Mian, "It's your turn, I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring hemp to boil, you bear with it." ”
Qinglong told me, you don't need to use Ma Boiling Powder, you don't need it, if you don't use it well, it will hurt your brain, heh, who knows if that guy is a liar......" As he spoke, Tie Mian watched Cao Huachun pull out the arrow from his eyes, and the imperial guards and three soldiers grabbed his hands and feet, and when Cao Huachun pulled out the arrow, the muscles on Tie Mian's face spasmed, and he didn't snort, watching the imperial guards and others cry one after another......
After the total annihilation of the enemy army at Shanhaiguan, Cheng Li's department only had 800 strong men and more than 100 war wolves left.
"Less is less, it's better than nothing, go and support Qinglong!" Cao Huachun ordered, and the rest of the people carried the unconscious Cheng Li, waved goodbye to his dead brother, and rushed to Beijing!
They met another team on the outskirts of the city, a large group, no less than 100,000 people! But it can be seen that they have just gone through a big battle!
"King Chuang and I just met 30,000 Qing soldiers on the fork in the western suburbs, but fortunately, King Chuang is familiar with their situation, so he didn't kill many brothers." Kaifeng Shou Liang Shan said.
In this way, the military situation on all sides that Dolgon was worried about, except for the Duoduo one who went south, the rest were disintegrated by the Ming army one by one, and they were almost all defeated by the light enemy, thinking that after entering the customs, it would be their own world, but they didn't expect that the Ming army still had stronger troops waiting for them!
Although Dorgon did not meet effective resistance as he marched south, the threat to the south of Dorgon had arrived! The three warships had already arrived at the port of Tianjin in the early morning, and after the black sha led the Jiangnan army and the White Lotus Sect to disembark with firearms, they rushed from Tianjin to Beijing without stopping!
The northward movement of the Jiangnan army has laid a huge hidden danger for the safety of Jiangnan, and after Shi Kefa got the news of Duoduo's southward departure, he was restless!
