"The main pass is lost?"

"How so?"

North Wing City.

Gao Dejie and Guo Yunlong looked at the billowing smoke and earth-shaking shouts of killing in the direction of the main pass of Shanhaiguan with disbelief, they didn't understand how the impregnable Chengguan could suddenly be broken by the Shandong army.

"General Gao, let's go quickly...... If the main pass is lost, our northern wing city will be a lonely city, and it will be too late to escape when the time comes. ”

Guo Yunlong hesitated for a moment, and hesitated to speak to Gao Dejie.

"Let's go? Where to go? Ningyuan is a lonely city, where did we go and wait for death? Besides, our family is still in the gate, and as soon as we leave, our family will fall into the hands of the imperial court. ”

Gao Dejie's face was miserable, Wu Sangui had the grace of simplicity to himself, but no matter how great this kindness was, it was not as great as the parenting grace.

"What does Vice Marshal mean to surrender? We have killed a lot of Shandong troops in Jiaoshan, will the Metropolitan Governor accept our surrender? ”

Guo Yunlong is also a transparent person, he knows the elegance when he hears the string song, and he knows that Gao Dejie has the intention of surrendering, but he is afraid that Li Xingzhi will settle accounts after the autumn, and he still can't make up his mind.

"Hehe, at this time, at that time, we were each our own master, once the Shanhaiguan was broken, Wu Sangui had no way out, I am afraid that he could only surrender to the Manchurians, as the saying goes, the brothers are on the wall, and the outside is humiliated, we refuse to rebel, and the governor of the capital will reward us again in order to win the hearts of the people."

According to intelligence, at present, the Shandong army only controls the Beijing Division and Shandong and parts of Henan, and he leads his troops anyway, so it is the first righteous, even if there is no reward, we will not be punished.

"Then the last general, how about opening the city and welcoming the imperial army into the city?"

Guo Yunlong paused, and finally made up his mind.

Gao Dejie waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, wait, it is only safe for the imperial army to completely control the city, otherwise, I am afraid that Wu Sangui will bring disaster to our family." ”

Guo Yunlong nodded again and again, "Well, then let's go to Dongcheng first to see how the battle situation is in the main pass, the last general is afraid that it will be too late to surrender, and the metropolitan governor will be unhappy!" ”

Gao Dejie and Guo Yunlong's worries are obviously meaningless, although the Guan Ning army is known as the strongest army in the late Ming Dynasty, but the really strong ones are only the seven or eight thousand families of Wu Sangui, Wu Zhimao and others, and the rest are just tenants under Wu Sangui and others, who were used to defend the city during the war.

After the southern city of Shanhaiguan was blown up, as the new four towns of the Jingbei Army killed the city wall and the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han green flag soldiers broke into the city from the gap, the defenders in the city fell into complete chaos, not only the Guanning army was running, but the people who went out to inquire about the military situation were also scattering and fleeing, and even the family members with some military leaders were also chaotic, following behind these routs and chaotic people, running around like headless flies.

"Don't care about the people and the rout, follow the general to seize Beiguan first."

The Manchurian and Mongolian Han green flags were all cavalry, and they broke into the city from the gap, and their advance speed was obviously much faster than that of Liu Wenxiu's department in the new fourth town, just when the officers and soldiers of the fourth town collected the prisoners on the city wall, the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han green flags had been divided into four teams, and galloped wildly in the main street in Shanhaiguan.

One after another, the Guan Ning army who had no time to dodge was cut down by sabers, pierced by cavalry spears, and knocked away by galloping war horses, and Li Xingzhi gave them the task of seizing the gate of Shanhaiguan Beiguan to prevent the Manchurians from taking the opportunity to pick peaches.

"Knock, knock, knock......!"

The horse's hooves were rolling, the battle flag was flying, and more than 3,000 Manchurian and Han cavalry were rushing and beating in the Shanhaiguan, and the earth with the sound of horses' hooves seemed to tremble.

"It's not good, it's the cavalry of the Shandong Army that has entered the city, let's go quickly, the military master."

The sound of horses' hooves behind him shocked the officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army who were guarding Wu Sangui's escape, and they looked at Wu Sangui one by one.

After Wu Sangui and Wu Zhimao went down to the city, they still brought more than 1,000 families, originally they planned to withdraw to the north city first, and then ask Azig for help, as long as they hold on for about half an hour, reinforcements will arrive, so that they can calmly pack up the military horses, plus the north city was built to defend against the eastern captives, and the defense is better than the south city, with the cooperation of the Manchurians, it is impossible to say that the Guanning army still has the strength to fight, but they did not expect that the cavalry of the Shandong army actually entered the Shanhaiguan so quickly.

"General Wu, you protect the army master, the last general will lead people to stop them, the commander is here, Guan Ning is there."

Yang Chaodong's face was pale, and he gave a military salute to Wu Sangui and Wu Zhimao with a resolute face, rode a gun in his hand, and turned around with dozens of family members to meet the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

"Brother Yang......!"

Wu Sangui glanced at Yang Chaodong gratefully, it was really a swift wind and a strong grass, Bandang saw a loyal minister, in this situation of the rout of the whole army, Yang Chaodong was already loyal and righteous to follow him, he didn't expect that Yang Chaodong would have the courage to kill Shengren at this time.

"The kindness of the handsome will only be repaid in the next life."

Yang Chaodong saluted again, held his riding spear flat, and rushed towards the south gate of Shanhaiguan like a moth to a fire.

"Brother Yang......!"

"Marshal, let's go, you can't live up to General Yang's loyalty."

Wu Zhimao looked at Yang Chaodong's distant back and sighed, of course, at this time, he couldn't tolerate emotion, and hurriedly shouted the left and right soldiers to escort Wu Sangui to retreat.

"General Yang, we really have to be loyal to the commander."

After breaking away from Wu Sangui's brigade, Yang Chaodong's personal commander Yang Zhen came to Yang Chaodong's side.

"Loyalty, loyalty? Lao Tzu is the Guan Ning general of the Ming Dynasty, and not Wu Sangui's general, you all show Lao Tzu carefully, as soon as the imperial army arrives, kneel on both sides for Lao Tzu, don't be like a fool, people don't know what's going on when they kill them. ”

"But General, didn't you just say ......?"

"Speaking of hammers, our family is in Ningyuan, not dying in Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui fled to Ningyuan, our family has to die, hurry, hurry, the imperial army is coming."

As the two spoke, in the distance, a large group of cavalry rushed towards this side like a wind.

"Those who surrender will not die, this will be the former Shanhaiguan General Soldier Gaodi, and the Governor of the Metropolitan will only punish Wu Sangui alone, and the rest will not be killed!"

Immediately behind the Manmeng Han green flag is the seventh town of Tang Tong and Gao Di, originally Tang Tong and Gao the second person of Li Xingzhi's insistence on the Northern Expedition is quite complaining, Shanhaiguan is the world's Xiongcheng, Wu Sangui is the peerless general of the first emperor, no matter how bad the Guanning army is, it has also fought with Dongyu for nearly 20 years, under various factors, they do not think that the Shandong army can take Shanhaiguan in a short time, but they are new people, where dare to question, the two are actually Li Xingzhi's military orders with a hard head.

"Down...... It's ......! ”

"Don't kill me...... It's ......! ”

"It's Gao Shuai, it's Gao Shuai, hurry up and follow Lao Tzu to see Gao Shuai."

Gao Di, as the chief soldier of the former Shanhaiguan, his words were obviously much more useful than the Anba and Liu Wenxiu in the advanced city, and after the rebels and the people saw Gao Di's general flag, they knelt down on both sides of the street as if they had found the backbone.
