Li Zicheng was very annoyed at this time, the main force arrived at Shanhaiguan during the day today, and issued an ultimatum to Wu Sangui to surrender, Wu Sangui refused, Li Zicheng and a group of Dashun army Wenchen and military generals were forced by Wu Sangui's capricious behavior, and ordered the main force to storm Xiluo, the northern wing and Dongluo City respectively.

The Guanning army was the last army of the Ming Dynasty that could fight in the field, and Wu Sangui also had the capital to resist the attack of the Dashun army, and he lined up the main force to the west of the Shihe River in Xiluocheng to prevent the Dashun army from attacking the fortifications.

The Dashun army and the Guanning army fought fiercely near Xiluo City, the Guanning army had no ability to fight Jiannu, but the Dashun army did not get tired of playing with the thief, and actually surrendered by fraud, luring thousands of Dashun troops to the city wall, the Dashun army did not know that there was a fraud, close to the city wall, the Guanning army hidden in the city suddenly artillery, firearms and other long-range weapons, the Dashun army suffered many casualties, Liu Zongmin was forced to order a retreat.

In the northern wing of the city, the Dashun army occupied a favorable position, taking advantage of the condescending favorable terrain to storm the city wall, and the battle was quite fruitful, because the other cities were still in the hands of the Guanning army, and still failed to completely occupy Luocheng.

During the day of the 21st, the main force of the Dashun army was not able to eat the Guanning army, but lost some soldiers and horses, although Wu Sangui held the Shanhai Pass, but also suffered heavy losses, and if the fight continued, the entire Shanhaiguan and the Guanning army and their families would be wiped out by the Dashun army.

In the evening, Wu Sangui convened his generals to discuss how to fight, at this time in Shanhaiguan not only the army, but also the army's families, squires, people, Wu Sangui and the generals discussed, whether to really surrender to the Qing?

After the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, he is the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the country, the biggest traitor, but also led the most troops to surrender to the foreign enemy of the traitor, Wu Sangui was undecided, and the Dashun army to kill this part, surrender Dashun is impossible, it seems that only by surrendering the Qing Dynasty, can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, and the shadow of the descendants.

Wu Sangui decided to wait, maybe he didn't need to surrender, Dolgon will lead the Eight Banners into the pass to rescue, the Dashun army after a day and a night of fierce fighting, temporarily pushed down to rest, waiting for the next day to launch the last attack, Li Zicheng did not capture Shanhaiguan today, a little annoyed, received Yuan Zongdi sent a battle report, the right battalion and Tang Tong two troops in a stone direction and the Qing army forward encounter, the right battalion lost more than half, Tang Tong troops dispersed, Bai Guangen retreated to the pass.

Li Zicheng gasped, the main force of Jiannu really entered the customs, he hurriedly summoned the generals and told the generals that the main force of Jiannu appeared in the direction of a stone, and the generals were also shocked, and today there was a bloody battle with the Guanning army, although some soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, but they did not hurt their muscles and bones, but they had to face the main force of the Guanning army and Jiannu at the same time.

Some generals have the idea of withdrawing troops, the Dashun army in Shanhaiguan is not much, most of the army is stationed in the pass, but dare not say it, Li Zicheng is ambitious, used to be a post soldier of the Ming army, Jiannu is not only the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, but also the enemy of Dashun, he has broken through the capital, become the new son of heaven, there is the responsibility and obligation to shoulder the heavy responsibility of resisting Jiannu.

He and the generals ordered: "All the armies must not retreat, tomorrow storm Shanhaiguan, before Jiannu enters the pass, as long as the Shanhaiguan is captured, the Shanhaiguan Pass is long, so that Jiannu's head will be bloody." ”

Li Guo, the general of the post-battalion system, and Li Zicheng are uncles and nephews, and they dare to speak out and stand up from among the generals: "Your Majesty, Jiannu will not let our army capture Shanhaiguan, and will definitely kill it in one fell swoop when our army and the Guanning army are fighting fiercely. ”

Liu Zongmin is a first-class general of the Dashun Army, and he wants to have a fight with Jiannu to see how powerful the Tartars are, and Li Zicheng said: "My soldiers in the middle battalion are willing to fight to the death with the Tartars." ”

Liu Fangliang, the commander of the left battalion, and Yuan Zongdi, the right battalion, are very familiar, the strength of the two troops is comparable, the right battalion lost more than half of it today, and he wanted to build a slave with strong strength, he and Liu Zongmin said: "No, the right battalion was destroyed today, this Tartar has some ability, don't be careless." ”

"That's not a trick with the soldiers of my middle battalion, tomorrow my middle battalion is willing to take the lead, for Your Majesty to capture Shanhaiguan, eliminate the Guanning army, and strive for more opportunities."

Liu Zongmin swore that he could block the attack of Jiannu tomorrow, but Li Zicheng scolded him, and the middle camp went to block Jiannu, how could there be troops to attack Shanhaiguan?

Li Zicheng was halfway through speaking, and suddenly realized that the troops were insufficient, and the generals under his command also realized this, but they did not dare to say that they had withdrawn from the army, after all, they had already reached Shanhaiguan, and if they retreated at this time, the morale of the army would be greatly hit, and it would take a long time to recover.

He suddenly became ruthless, and said to the generals present: "You don't need to attack tomorrow, attack Shanhaiguan tonight, gnaw down Shanhaiguan, and we will win." ”

There was no joke in the army, Li Zicheng's military order was conveyed, and the officers and men of the Dashun army, who had been fighting fiercely for a day, once again reorganized their equipment and began to attack Shanhaiguan, which was supposed to continue to attack Shanhaiguan on the second day.

Wu Sangui was still hesitating to go to the Qing army camp in person, and suddenly heard the killing shouts outside the mountain pass shaking the sky, and the general reported to him, and the Dashun army suddenly concentrated its forces and attacked Luocheng and Yicheng again.

The defenders of Yicheng were defeated, gave up resistance, and surrendered to the Dashun army, the main force of the Dashun army was attacking Shanguan, Wu Sangui hurriedly ordered the whole army to press up, whether it was the subordinates of Gao Di, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, or Xiangyong, all went to the city wall to resist the attack of the Dashun army.

The Dashun army suddenly raided, captured the two cities of Luocheng and Yicheng in one fell swoop, the gate of Shanhaiguan was wide open, and the Dashun army could use its fists and feet to attack Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui pressed the family and the family up, and still could not resist the advance of the Dashun army step by step.

Wu Sangui had no choice but to rush across the battle line with a small number of his subordinates and ask Dolgon for reinforcements. Dolgon is listening to the report of taking Aobai, although the forward retreats in a stone today, but kills and injures a large number of Dashun troops, Aobai also talked to Dolgon about the strength of the Dashun army, which is slightly stronger than the Ming army.

Other generals also reported to Dolgon the battle report of the Dashun army and the attack on Shanhaiguan during the day, and concluded that the strength of the Dashun army was not as strong as imagined, and Dolgon ordered Azig to order 20,000 infantry cavalry to launch an attack before dawn to eliminate a piece of stone Dashun army, and then the whole army entered the pass, using the tactics of waiting for work and striking backwards, and when the Dashun army and the Guanning army fought to exhaustion tomorrow, the whole army attacked and won in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, a general rushed in and said to him: "Report, regent, the Dashun army suddenly attacked Shanhaiguan, the two cities of Luocheng and Yicheng have been captured by the Dashun army, and the Guanning army retreats to Shanguan. ”

Dolgon was shocked, the Dashun army was very fast, he immediately ordered Azig to lead the troops to attack a piece of stone Dashun army, and other departments also went to support, Dolgon personally went into battle, and there were generals to report, Wu Sangui led a few people to break through the battle line and came to ask for rescue.

Dolgon asked people to invite Wu Sangui in, Wu Sangui saw Dolgon, knelt down, a handful of snot and a handful of tears and asked Dolgon to send troops to rescue Shanhaiguan, if it was too late, the defenders of Shanhaiguan were annihilated, and the Dashun army would attack the Qing army after capturing Shanhaiguan.

Afraid that Dolgon would not be moved, Wu Sangui was also slightly threatened, if Dolgon was unwilling to help the Guanning army, he was also unwilling to return to Shanhaiguan to supervise the battle, and let the Dashun army attack Shanhaiguan, Dolgon was waiting for Wu Sangu to surrender completely, and he couldn't help it in his heart, so that Wu Sangui would shave his hair and change clothes now, and lead the whole army to support Shanhaiguan.

The defenders of Shanhaiguan are still fighting, they are very difficult to resist the attack of the Dashun army, but they are still struggling to support, the Dashun army is also fighting more and more, why is the bones of the Ming army in Shanhaiguan so hard, why can't they be defeated?

The blood of the Dashun Army and the Guanning Army flowed in the ancient Xiongguan, whether it was the Dashun Army or the Guanning Army, they were all Ming armed forces, but when the Qing army's iron hooves were about to be trampled, the blood flowed like a river.

......

A stone, Yuan Zongdi and Tang informed that a piece of stone is an important place to resist Jiannu entering the customs, the two are fully armed, with the whole army to defend the barracks, in the first half of the night, there is no Jiannu army to attack, the second half of the night suddenly received a battle report, His Majesty personally led the main force, once again attacked Shanhaiguan, the two realized that Jiannu will not let the Guanning army be destroyed, will definitely go all out to attack a stone, open up the rescue of the Guanning army channel, and immediately ordered all the troops and horses to prepare for the battle.

Sure enough, in the second half of the night, Azig led 20,000 eight banners elite to attack like a huge wave, the right battalion and the Tang army two troops in the barracks fortifications to resist the enemy, the eight banners foot battle East Asia first, after being shot by the Dashun army a small number of soldiers, most of the Jiannu soldiers rushed into the Dashun army barracks, the two armies in the barracks in the short hand, killing the head rolling, the strength of the Dashun army is not as good as the Jiannu army, and was soon defeated and retreated.

Yuan Zongdi led his subordinates to fight to the death and did not retreat, he wanted to buy time for His Majesty, even if the right battalion was all gone, he had to defend a stone, and today Ling Jingyang, who had made great achievements with the Jiannu Forward Army, returned to the barracks during the day, and got sufficient supplies, and every soldier was assigned the best weapons and part of the armor, in order to reward the meritorious troops of the stone camp, Yuan Zongdi specially asked Ling Jingyang to take the troops to the rear of the barracks to reorganize the troops.

Ling Jingyang led the troops to the rear of the barracks, almost in the area outside the pass and inside the border, after the troops camped, he in the name of the captain of the stone camp, appointed Li Rufeng as the first flag, Zhang Luofu as the second flag, the third flag of Quan Tiefeng, Leng Rutie the fourth flag, each of which belonged to two hundred people, Wang Chengen served as the head of the artillery battalion, Dong Daqi, Lao Mantou was promoted to the head of the department, for his direct troops, Fang Xiaoyan, Wang Bao and other sentry commanders continued to serve as grassroots officers, and from the more than 500 soldiers who had survived today's bloody battle, 20 sentry commanders were promoted, Finally, the framework of the whole army has been built.

In the second half of the night, the wind and rain suddenly changed, Shanhaiguan was attacked by the Dashun army, a stone and found the Qing army to raid, the two battlefields bloomed at the same time, and the fight was hot, Ling Jingyang was awakened by Li Rufeng on duty, saying that the battle broke out between Shanhaiguan and a stone, he hurriedly put on armor, and the whole army rested in the middle of the night, all recovered some spirit, and saw a stone in the direction of the fire, and asked to support.
