194 New enemies
"What, Master Fan, you said that Li Zicheng's number one henchman, Niu Jinxing wants to surrender to us, this is not the strategy of the Dashun army!" Hearing Fan Wencheng's words, Dolgon, who was originally lazy, instantly became excited.
It's no wonder he was so excited, when he first entered the customs, he was still full of confidence, in addition to Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and some Han officials have planned to offer advice, the fall of the Ming court in the Guannei and other reasons, the Manchu Qing finally completed the feat of entering the Guannai in his hands, and then in one fell swoop to subdue Wu Sangui and Guanning Iron Cavalry, who had been against them for many years, and successfully expelled Li Zicheng's Dashun army and occupied the city of Beijing.
Under this victory, Dolgon believed even more that in time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would definitely be able to become the second Great Yuan Empire and successfully occupy the Central Plains, but what he didn't expect was that the situation would suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse, and the Dashun army, which had been retreating, actually stabilized its actions on the border between Beizhili and Henan, no matter how Wu Sangui and the Manchu army attacked, he did not retreat, so that the Manchu army that originally wanted to go south also completely stopped the front.
If this is nothing, something even more unexpected happened, originally thought that the Ming Dynasty of the Zhu family, which had been completely decadent, after the death of Emperor Chongzhen, would actually come out of Shaanxi another Hongguang Emperor, although this emperor does not seem to be a climate at present, but he is like a thorn, so that Dolgon feels quite uncomfortable, although his younger brother led the army to set off, but whether he can really destroy the Hongguang court, is still unknown.
For a variety of reasons, Dolgon suddenly discovered that the Manchu Qing, which was originally menacing and sweeping the world, suddenly became a patient who was struggling and it was very difficult to move a single step. This change made Dolgon, who had always been very wise, feel a little unacceptable.
Therefore, if you want to break this deadlock, the only way to go out is to occupy Shaanxi. Control the entire north, or take advantage of the trend to the south, forcibly occupy the land of wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as there is a road that can be passed, then the Manchus will have more development, otherwise, I am afraid that the Manchus will have a very miserable end.
Seeing Dolgon's excited expression, Fan Wencheng's heart also relaxed, and he had been in the Manchu group for decades. From the old Khan Nurhachi to Huang Taiji and now Dolgon, Fan Wencheng knows the Manchu character very well, and he is also very aware of the characteristics of these ethnic minorities who seem to be strong but have low self-esteem, so it is precisely because of this that he will follow Hong Chengchou's advice when Azig strongly opposes this matter. Report the matter directly to Dolgon.
"Yes, my lord. At the beginning, Wei Chen also thought that this was a trick by Li Thief, but after reading the explanation in Lord Hong's letter, he knew that this was likely to be true, Lord Wang, you may not know, Niu Jinxing, although he has some talent. But he was greedy for small profits and forgot his righteousness, narrow-minded, jealous by nature, and most importantly, this person was very afraid of death, and it was this person who persuaded Li Zicheng to give up Beijing at that time. And the reason why he is willing to surrender to us this time is precisely because Li Zicheng was dissatisfied with him because of this matter, and gradually alienated him, so he felt resentful in his heart, plus my Qing soldiers are sharp and imposing, and a villain like him is the best able to see current affairs clearly, therefore, Weichen dares to say that Niu Jinxing sincerely surrendered this time. In order to maximize his desire to become a hero of the founding of the country and leave his name in history, Fan Wencheng really did his best.
After Fan Wencheng's words were finished, Dolgon slowly calmed down at this time, although he didn't say anything, but the seemingly calm, but still constantly shaking muscles on his face, still betrayed his true feelings. Seeing this, Fan Wencheng secretly laughed in his heart
Under the city of Tongguan, everyone's hearts are extremely complicated, to be able to defeat the invincible Manchu army, in one fell swoop to eliminate more than 10,000 Manchu soldiers, captured nearly 3,000 people, this kind of victory not to mention these years, I am afraid that since the Ming army and the Manchu Qing Dynasty hostile, there has been no such victory, but the Manchu Qing has repeatedly defeated the strong with the weak, from the Salhu, to the Songjin War, all of the Ming army hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people were defeated by the Manchu tens of thousands of horses, if this kind of military exploits in the previous Ming court, I am afraid that there will be a group of wealthy families to rise again.
It's a pity that at this moment, although the Ming soldiers were happy, after seeing the corpses of the tens of thousands of people in the city, everyone's hearts were heavy, especially when they thought that these people died in their own hands, and the joy after the victory completely dissipated.
Just as all the soldiers were struggling to clean up the battlefield and clean up the corpses, a sudden roar came from a distance, after this period of fighting, these soldiers who originally came out of the recruit camp have completely become veterans, hearing this sound, they soon knew that this was a large group of cavalry rushing here.
"Quick, quick, quick, meet the enemy, meet the enemy, shield bearer in front, spearman in rear, archers, grenadiers quickly prepare." I have to say that the difference between veterans and recruits is big, if it was before, I'm afraid everyone here would be stunned here, and now, under the command of several battalion commanders, the soldiers who are working in the city are quickly lined up in formation according to the usual training situation.
Shaanxi's Ming army, although the training method has changed, but the formation on the battlefield has not changed, in the era of cold weapons, this formation is the last formation, but also in China thousands of years, many soldiers from countless wars summed up the formation, although after the occupation of Xi'an, Shi Lei has been asked craftsmen to improve the original bird guns or firearms, hoping to be able to study as soon as possible can be used for large-scale battles of muskets, but because the time is too short, although there has been some progress, but no decisive progress has been made, Therefore, now the Ming army under Shi Lei is still fighting according to this formation, of course, the battle formation of grenadiers has been added, even against the same number of cavalry, it will not fall behind.
Just after the Ming army outside the city lined up the formation, the originally wide open Tongguan gate was also quickly closed, which is also Shi Lei's order, that is, no matter what, Tongguan must not be lost, for Shi Lei at present, Tongguan is a firewall, as long as he is there, he does not need to be afraid of anyone, anyone who wants to fight the idea of Shaanxi, the Manchu army is the end.
When the Ming army did all this, the roar also came to their eyes, and they saw a group of troops wearing black uniforms, rushing towards them, seeing this group of troops suddenly appeared, all the Ming troops were ready to fight, but unfortunately, what made them puzzled was that this group of troops stopped quickly when they saw them, and stood not far from them and watched them, for a while, the breath of the big war shrouded here.
"Uncle, why don't we rush forward in one go, just their little people, it's not enough for the child to kill?" A teenager said.
"Hey, the young general is wrong, in this case, it is useless for us to rush forward, we have closed the city gate, even if we kill these people outside the city, what use can we be, we still can't capture Tongguan, so Your Majesty did this very right." Another general spoke.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of being able to defeat the army of the Manchu Qing Tartars, and in such a short period of time, it can be quickly assembled into a formation, and in the face of the pressure of the army, it is not panicked, from this point it can be seen that this Shi Lei boy is really a hero in troubled times, but unfortunately, the original plan to take the opportunity to seize Tongguan was doomed to failure." The person who spoke was the leader of the army, Li Zicheng, the emperor of the Great Shun State, and this group of soldiers was also the 50,000 elite of the Great Shun Army brought by Li Zicheng, in order to be a fisherman, taking advantage of the defeat of the Manchu army and the Ming army, to capture Tongguan and reoccupy Shaanxi.
"Who are you, why did you come to my Tongguan City, if you are passing by, please leave quickly, if you want to go to war, please give a reason." Just when the Dashun army was talking in a low voice, a battalion commander in the Ming army camp said, this person is called Jiao Lu, originally the Ming army in Xi'an City, and later when Dong Qi led people to protect the family of the Northwest Army and left Xi'an City, he left with Dong Qi, and then because of his clever mind, he understood Shi Lei's training methods very quickly, so he was promoted to the position of battalion commander in a short period of time, and now this is his highest military rank, so he has become a well-deserved commander here.
"His Majesty the Emperor of Dashun Kingdom has arrived, you traitors should not quickly kneel down and surrender, otherwise, be careful of your head." Hearing Jiao Lu's question, a guard beside Li Zicheng shouted loudly.
At this time, the city was also full of people, it was Shi Lei and others, originally after the big victory, they were discussing the next plan, but they didn't expect that someone told that another enemy came, and for a while, everyone who was shocked came to the city.
"My lord, these people are Li Zicheng's traitors, you see, the one in the middle is the Li thief, I didn't expect the Li thief to appear here, it seems that he wants to be the fisherman, but I didn't expect our soldiers to react so quickly." It was Dong Qi who spoke, and he had the most enmity with Li Zicheng for killing his father, and he remembered Li Zicheng and others in his heart, especially Li Zicheng's unique eye, which I am afraid no one will forget.
