Volume 1 Chapter 41: Shanhaiguan (3)

There are more than 40 war horses in the whole army, fortunately, Wang Qi sent more than 40 war horses, and the whole army has more than 80 war horses, so that Ling Jingyang can do one person and two horses, and move forward with more than 40 cavalry.

There are not many soldiers with good equestrian skills in the whole army, but Fang Xiaoyan and other more than ten coats and horsemen are very good, they have been outside the customs for a long time to put horses for domestic slaves, and they have developed a good skill, Ling Jingyang is also very generous to them, each person gives two days of food, fully trusting Fang Xiaoyan and other coats, Fang Xiaoyan and others are also willing to follow Ling Jingyang to the death.

A group of two horses each, galloping towards Lulong County, other soldiers and horses under the leadership of Zhang Luofu into Qian'an County, Qian'an County Guard will be a garrison of the Ming Army, under the command of more than 500 soldiers and horses, after Tang Tong surrendered Li Zicheng, he was a small garrison, how could there be a force to resist the Dashun army, but also surrendered with the general army, Li Zicheng only let a small number of old soldiers of the Dashun army stationed in Qian'an City, the city of Dashun army and surrendered less than 600 people, most of them are still equipped with dilapidated equipment.

Because of the weakness of the strength, and the requirements of the generals of the Dashun army, the garrison opened the city gate to welcome every Dashun army that came and went, when Wang Qi came to Qian'an City with his troops, and saw that the Ling Jingyang troops who were fighting with them during the day were also in the city, they were a little curious, didn't they go to send intelligence? How can you still have kung fu to rest in Qian'an City?

He came to the city with his generals, Zhang Luofu took his subordinates to post in the city, he was a martial artist trained by the regular military system of the Ming Dynasty, camped, and was very strategic at night.

At first glance, isn't it the same group of people who fought during the day? Zhang Luofu was very brave in the daytime brawl, and he put more than a dozen old battalion soldiers alone, and after Wang Qi saw him, he said, "Didn't you go to send intelligence?" Why are you still in this city? ”

"We led the cavalry to Shanhaiguan with the flag, and our infantry army had no horses, so we had to hang behind."

Wang Qi saw Ling Jingyang go to send information, his heart began to itch again, there was a force in his body that was not released, he was attacked by the old steamed bun during the day, and he almost fainted with a fist, he was angry in his heart, and wanted to have a fight with Zhang Luofu and other recruits, his eyes were full of desire to fight, Zhang Luofu happened to have this intention, he had not been addicted during the day, he was a Ming martial artist, and he was going to meet the captain of the Dashun army for a while today.

The two took off their armor almost at the same time, revealing their tendon flesh, their subordinates cheered for the boss, and they all fought together with a duel posture, both of them were practitioners, and they knew if there was one as soon as they made a move, you punched me and kicked me, attracting other troops to watch the battle.

Wang Qi has been in the Dashun Army for a long time, and there are still some old battalion troops in Qian'an City, although he is not familiar with it, he is indeed familiar with his face, and they cheered for him, Zhang Luofu joined the Dashun Army not long ago, and only his subordinates supported him, fortunately, he has good martial arts, and he has won the applause of everyone.

The two of them meet each other in chess, the more they fight, the more interesting they are, you have a white crane with bright wings, I am a tiger going down the mountain, all kinds of postures before making moves, if Ling Jingyang knows that he stays behind, and fights with Wang Qi like this in the city, it is estimated that he will be angry to death.

After fighting for more than ten minutes, they still couldn't tell the winner, both of them were a little tired and wanted to take a break, but others desperately encouraged the two to continue fighting, some people threatened to buy Wang Qisheng for fifty taels of silver, and immediately someone bought Zhang Luo Fusheng for one hundred taels, and some people said that it doesn't matter who wins, as long as they play well.

Wang Qi and Zhang Luofu listened to the sound of the nearby soldiers betting, the two of them were pale, in order to maintain the face of the soldiers of the headquarters, the two did not hesitate to fight, but such a group of rabbit cubs actually watched the trick, and the two of them roared with their subordinates almost at the same time: "Beat those beasts who bet." ”

Suddenly the Dashun army in the city was in a group, Wang Qi's subordinates and Zhang Luofu's subordinates fought together, and the troops in the city started to fight, the garrison of Qian'an City saw that the city was turned upside down, and hurriedly retreated outside the city with his subordinates, and before he left the city gate, he was beaten by a wave of Dashun army, and the garrison was also angry, and he also took his subordinates to join the melee sequence.

This time the whole city brawl, resulting in dozens of soldiers killed, hundreds of soldiers injured, Wang Qi and Zhang Luofu two in the battle to form a deep friendship, the two sympathetic to each other, even with the troops left and right to Shanhaiguan forward, the brawl to death soldiers were dragged by the garrison to bury outside the city, the whole city soldiers were silent, as if nothing happened last night, the garrison and his subordinates continued to open the city gate, to welcome the next wave of Dashun army into the city to rest.

In the rear of the Dashun army officers and soldiers along the way, unlike them, Shanhaiguan Ming army officers and soldiers are full of righteous indignation, under the instigation of Wu Sangui, the Ming army officers and soldiers are determined to fight to the death with the Dashun army, Wu Sangui as the regimental training commander, commanding the Ming army outside the Guanwai, in order to resist Li Zicheng Dashun army, he summoned all the troops under his command, more than 10,000 elites, Shanhaiguan general Gao Di also led the army to come, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the high department, and more than 30,000 local villagers came to participate in the war.

As early as Wu Sangui learned that Li Zicheng led a large army to Shanhaiguan, he sent a messenger to deceive Li Zicheng, and the envoy met the main force of the Dashun army in Sanhe County, and lied that Wu Sangui was willing to surrender to Dashun, Li Zicheng was deceived again at this critical moment, not only slowing down the speed of the march, but also having illusions about Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui Tiexin and the Dashun army are enemies, and they are ready to do both, on the one hand, they ask for Dolgon's assistance, and after Dolgon gets Wu Sangui's request for help, he is still a little hesitant, but the traitor Hong Chengchou told him that this is a good time to enter the customs and seize the world, if Li Zicheng is allowed to stand firm in the north, the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty will be blocked from the pass.

Under the persuasion of Hong Chengchou, Dolgon ordered Prince Zierharang to lead one-third of the Eight Banners army to stay in the Shenyang area, and he immediately raised troops to march with 70,000 Eight Banners of Manmeng Ming in the starry night, and immediately raised troops to enter the customs, and arrived before Li Zicheng arrived at Shanhaiguan, the Qing army had secretly arrived at Shanhaiguan, and Dolgon and his subordinates paid close attention to the Shanhaiguan battlefield.

Wu Sangui's much-thinking reinforcements finally arrived, on the other hand, he put Wang Zeyao under house arrest, Wang Zeyao was the governor of Miyun in the Ming Dynasty, and after surrendering to Li Zicheng, he was awarded the rank of secretary of the military government by Li Zicheng, and went to Shanhaiguan to recruit Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui's move was to tell Dolgon that he had completely broken with Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng didn't know that his envoy was under house arrest by Wu Sangui, and he didn't know that the Qing army also secretly entered the customs, and was still leading the main force to advance unhurriedly, and Ling Jingyang, who was behind him, was anxious, if he couldn't catch up with Li Zicheng during the day on the 20th, the Dashun army would be defeated in tomorrow's battle, and the entire Central Plains would be swept by the Qing army.

On the night of the 19th, he traveled eighty miles at night and arrived at Lulongcheng, and at this time he had already lost one horse, and immediately used the second horse and continued to gallop twenty miles, and he could already see the rear troops of the Dashun army.

The main force of the rear army is the rear battalion, and the whole army is marked by the yellow flag; The general is Li Guo, Li Zicheng's nephew, Li Guo and Li Zicheng are uncles and nephews, but they are the same age, and the general reports to Li Guo, and a cavalry comes from behind, and is rushing to the Chinese army.

Li Guo led the rear battalion as the rear army, just to protect the safety of the Chinese army, he ordered to stop this cavalry, and asked which battalion this cavalry belonged to?

Zhang Neng, the general of Zuo Guoyi in the rear camp, led more than 100 cavalry to block Ling Jingyang's advance.

Without waiting for him to speak, Ling Jingyang hurriedly said: "My lord, I am the squire of the military department, Zuo Maotai, appointed the Santun camp to take charge of the flag, and encountered the siege of Jiannu in the Santun camp, and the last general defeated Jiannu, and there was important information to rush to the Chinese army to meet the saint." ”

"Oh, defeating Jiannu, your tone is not small, you went to the Chinese army to meet the saint, just to show off and defeat Jiannu in front of His Majesty, right?"

Li Rufeng recognized Zhang Neng, and also stepped forward and said: "General Zhang, the last general Li Rufeng, was the cavalry battalion of the rear camp before, and we found a large number of Jiannu entering the customs in the Santun camp. ”

Zhang Neng was shocked, Jiannu entered the customs?

He hurriedly patted his horse and rushed to Li Guo in front, Li Guo saw him coming, a little curious, Zhang Neng told him that there was a unit of his own, and the troops in the Santun camp found that Jiannu had entered the customs, and he was trying to meet the saint and enter the customs to enlighten the saint.

Li Guo's eyes suddenly reflected a frightened gaze, he shook the armor on his body, and Zhang Neng and the others quickly came to Ling Jingyang, and said: "I am Li Guo, the general of the rear battalion, how many Jiannu have you seen in Santun Camp?" ”

Ling Jingyang was a little proud to tell him that there were more than 2,000 Jiannu troops in Sanyingtun, which had been defeated by him, and after hearing that Jiannu was defeated, Li Guo and Zhang Neng were relieved, and the two were also battle-hardened generals, and soon thought that Jiannu could not only enter the customs from Santun Camp, and there would be more Jiannu troops in other places.

The two of them thought of Shanhaiguan almost at the same time, it could be that Wu Sangui, a thief, surrendered to Jiannu, lured the main force of the Dashun army to gather in Shanhaiguan, hooked up with Jiannu, and annihilated the main force of the nascent Dashun regime.

Ling Jingyang saw from Li Guo and Zhang Neng's facial expressions that the two of them were extremely smart, and they both realized that Jiannu's entry into the customs would bring a devastating blow to the Dashun army, and said: "Two adults, Jiannu entered the customs for Wu Sangui. ”

Li Guoran was very worried about Jiannu's entry into the customs, but he still asked Ling Jingyang: "How can we believe you, is it true or false?" ”

Ling Jingyang said happily to Fang Xiaoyan and the others: "Fang Xiaoyan, you take off your hat and let the adults take a look. ”

Fang Xiaoyan and the others stood down with the helmet on their heads, revealing their foreheads, Li Guo and Zhang Neng both gasped, these people are standard Jiannu hairstyles, Ling Jingyang struck while the iron was hot.

"These are my subordinates, and they are also the coats that the last general rescued from the third camp."

Fang Xiaoyan took off his clothes, revealing that his chest was full of whips that had been whipped, and there was hardly a piece of good skin and flesh, Fang Xiaoyan said hoarsely in his throat: "This is Jiannu's beating, the people we were tortured by Jiannu outside the gate are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, so we want to follow the Lingzhang Banner to fight Jiannu and avenge the villagers." ”

Li Guo led this rear battalion, there is a long distance from the Chinese army, he estimates that the Chinese army has arrived in Funing, it is very close to Shanhaiguan, if you want to catch up with the Chinese army, submit the information to Your Majesty, and give Your Majesty time to arrange troops, you need to set off immediately.
