But at this time, the advantage of the Qing army was between the first line. Several units of the Qing army broke away from the battle one after another, which made the advantage on the battlefield tilt to the side of the Daping army.

Seeing this, Dorgon scolded loudly. Although it looked a little dangerous, the cavalry battalion and the forward battalion had already blocked the cavalry troops guarding the horses. Coupled with the encirclement of the foot soldiers, Dolgon always had more than enough to protect himself.

However, the return of these Qing troops, although out of good intentions, has caused a shortage of offensive troops. So Dolgon kept shouting, and sent all his own soldiers out of Lu, just to keep these Qing troops still on the battlefield and maintain the attack on the Daping army.

But at this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the rear of the Daping Army, and this cheer became louder and louder, gradually resounding throughout the battlefield. Dolgon's face changed suddenly.

The unexpected cheers caused both armies to shrink their fronts. As a result, the two armies invariably shrank into defensive formations to prevent possible accidents. As the smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipated after the gusts of wind blew, the vision of the battlefield gradually became clearer.

I saw that behind the formation of the Daping Army, one after another troops were slowly unfolding and were about to be put into the battlefield. And in this army, there is a Huang Gai honor guard, which is the arrival of 10,000 reinforcements led by Wu Shigong himself.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements! Han Dog has come to reinforcements! ”

The faces of the Qing soldiers everywhere on the battlefield changed, and the Qing generals surrounding Dolgon also exclaimed in surprise.

10,000 reinforcements, judging from the strength of the troops, is not a lot. It was still not possible to reverse the disadvantage of the Daping Army in terms of strength. But it has a profound meaning. This represents the failure of the strategy of the Abatai troops entering the pass and attacking back and forth, and it also means that reinforcements from the Daping Army will continue to arrive.

Dolgon immediately screamed, "Withdraw your troops!" Withdraw to Shanhaiguan! ”

When the soldiers of the Daping Army saw Wu Shigong appear on the battlefield, they immediately burst out into a tsunami-like cheer: "Wan Sheng!" Wansheng! ”

Wu Shigong smiled and waved to the soldiers. Then he smiled at Xue Yongli and said, "I'm here to see." Next, it's Uncle Wynn to command! ”

This decisive battle has come to an end, and if it wins, the commander in command will receive great glory. Therefore, Wu Shigong will not go to grab the credit, so he will be a spectator with peace of mind.

Xue Yongli bowed to Wu Shi on his horse, then raised his horsewhip and pointed forward, and ordered in a loud voice: "The whole army is attacking!" ”

With this order, all the soldiers of the Daping Army immediately burst into cheers of victory.

……

June 29 of the first year of Qiongyuan. The Daping army and the Qing army fought a decisive battle outside the Shanhai Pass. After a day of fierce fighting, because the reinforcements led by Wu Shigong personally arrived on the battlefield, the Qing army, which had lost its fighting spirit, retreated to Shanhaiguan.

In this campaign. The casualties of the Qing army reached more than 40,000, while the casualties of the Daping army also exceeded 30,000. However, the Daping army was supplemented by reinforcements from all walks of life, while the Qing army did not have any potential to tap, so the Qing army had lost the ability to attack from Shanhaiguan.

And after returning to Shanhaiguan. Dorgon was charged with "disobeying orders" and "conspiracy". Kill Hauge and further seize the power of the Manchus. But then he heard the bad news again, and the Pegasus Town in Zug successfully broke through the blockade of the Sony Department and entered the two cities of Ningyuan and Zhenyuan.

With the addition of more than 24,000 cavalry and 10,000 people in Pegasus Town, coupled with the transportation of a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, the Qing army not only could not block these two cities outside the pass, but also had to be on guard against the attack of the Daping army at all times and cut off the retreat of the Qing army. So the current Qing army. In the battle of two cities and one level, it is immediately in an absolutely passive situation.

And the Daping Army, which suffered heavy casualties. also temporarily lost the ability to attack. And in the battle on this day, Ma Shouying, who was fighting sick, also died of overwork after the war, which also made Wu Shigong sigh. But in any case, the Daping Army achieved the strategic goal of blocking the Qing army's entry into the pass, so it can be said that it won a decisive battle.

In the following July and August, the Qing army was supplemented by the Abatai Division. The Daping Army from Sichuan, Shaanxi, Huguang, Shandong, Jiangnan and other places also went to the Shanhaiguan battlefield one by one. In addition, the auxiliary troops who had completed the training were also replenished to the troops damaged in the battle, and the strength of the Daping Army was not only restored, but further strengthened.

During this period, the Qing army also went out of the customs several times to fight with the Daping army, but as the combat effectiveness became farther and farther, the hope of the Qing army breaking through the Shanhaiguan blockade line became more and more slim.

At the end of August, Dolgon saw that it was difficult to open the situation, so he could only stay at Shanhaiguan to guard Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry and Qing Army, with a total of 40,000 horses, to block the exit of the Daping army. He led the main force to the Korean battlefield first, to solve the partial division of the Daping Army.

However, when the news of the victory at Shanhaiguan reached Jiangnan, Zheng Zhilong was very rudderless, and he lent all the sea ships he could gather to the Daping Dynasty, making a wonderful "face-changing" performance.

However, Zheng Zhilong's borrowing of the ship just solved the difficulties of the Daping army. As soon as the typhoon season passed, 12,000 soldiers and horses of the Daping Army crossed the sea again into Korea. With this support army, facing the main force of the Qing army, the Marine Corps of the Naval Division will always be able to protect itself. With the arrival of the third batch of 6,000 reinforcements and a large number of artillery and ordnance, the Anju defense line of the Daepyeong Army in Korea was finally stabilized.

In October of the first year of Qiongyuan, the Daping Army, which had gathered 210,000 troops, began to launch a general attack on Shanhaiguan. The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Daping Army were led by He Fei and exited the Great Wall Pass, forming a two-sided attack on Shanhaiguan.

On the ninth day of October, when the Soni and Aobai divisions saw that the reinforcements of the Daping Army were coming, they took the initiative to withdraw the siege of Ningyuan and the Central Plains, and retreated to Jinzhou to form a new defense line. And Shanhaiguan has become a lonely city.

On October 13, the Daping army and Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry fought a fierce battle in Xiluo City, and the Daping Army won a small victory, so that the Guanning Iron Cavalry lost the ability to go out of the city to fight in the field. Then, the whole army of the Daping army stormed the two cities of Dongluo and the north wing.

Seeing that he had been heavily surrounded, Wu Sangui sent an envoy to the Daping army to discuss surrender. But the Daping Army was unusual, and put forward harsh surrender conditions for Wu Sangui. Not only will the entire army of the Guanning Iron Cavalry be reorganized, but the generals of the Guanning Iron Cavalry will lose their command and become civilians, and lose all the land they own outside the Guan.

And all this is mainly due to Wu Shigong's bad feelings towards Wu Sangui in history, so this harsh condition makes Wu Sangui hesitate to surrender.

On the evening of the 16th, rebels appeared in Shanhaiguan and surrendered to the Daping army. The Daping army took advantage of the situation to rush into the city, and Wu Sangui was also killed in the battle. Shanhaiguan recovered.

The recovery of Shanhaiguan also proves the re-establishment of the Guanning defense line. With the main force of the Daping Army out of the pass, the Korean Marine Corps was further strengthened, and coupled with the blow to the pro-Mongol tribes in the steppe, the Manchus were already besieged by the layers of shackles of the Daping Army.

The battle of Pingqing has been decided!
