Ling Jingyang avoided the defeat of the Dashun army again and again, and said: "Your Majesty, our army retreats in the direction of Yongping Mansion, and Jiannu will also catch up. ”

Li Zicheng has the impression that the Santun camp is the general garrison of Jizhen Town, and it is a relatively mature city, but the distance is very far, and the boats and cars are tiring along the way, and many soldiers will be scattered halfway.

Li Zicheng can't understand the character very well, although he was attacked by Jiannu and suffered heavy losses, but there are still many generals who are indignant, so he almost kicked the door, destroyed the Guanning army, occupied Shanhaiguan, and blocked Jiannu from the pass with a long Xiongguan, and the Dashun army took advantage of the situation to unify the world, just around the corner, all of them are this damn Jiannu, and the traitor Wu Sangui, regardless of the righteousness, led the wolf into the house.

The generals chattered along the way, strongly demanding another battle, and another decisive battle with Jiannu, the morale of the army was still there, and Li Zicheng did not pay attention to Ling Jingyang's suggestion.

Ling Jingyang looked at this group of unconvinced Dashun army soldiers and said: "Your Majesty, our army retreated to Yongping Mansion, Jiannu is not stupid, there are also people in the army who can recruit good fighters, and they will mobilize heavy troops to attack Yongping Mansion. ”

Without waiting for Ling Jingyang to continue speaking, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other generals were not convinced, and asked Li Zicheng to quickly withdraw to Lulong County, where he would gather troops and fight an ambush battle against Jiannu, maybe he could drive Jiannu back?

Li Zicheng also had this idea, attacking Shanhaiguan, he still had two soldiers and horses that were not used, one was the left battalion troops, and the other was Bai Guangen's department, Bai Guangen was afraid of fighting with Jiannu, and retreated from a stone with his troops.

Although he did not surrender to the Qing army, Bai Guangen was cunning, from resisting the imperial court, to being edicted by the imperial court, and surrendering to Dashun, if he defected to the battle, the Dashun army did not wait for Jiannu to attack, and the whole army would become a pot of porridge, so Li Zicheng asked Liu Fangliang to lead the left battalion and garrison the side of Baibu.

Bai Guangen did not want to fight, but did not wait for the Qing army to kill, but was scattered by the Dashun army, and was forced to retreat in the direction of Yongping with his troops.

The left battalion was too small in number, with only more than 2,000 people on the Shanhaiguan front, and Li Zicheng ordered the left battalion to be the vanguard when he retreated, and retreated to Yongping with his troops.

Because there is still some strength, Li Zicheng still has the courage and strength to continue fighting, he unceremoniously let Ling Jingyang flash aside, with Ling Jingyang's cognitive level, he thinks that with the remnants of the Dashun army in Shanhaiguan, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation with the Qing army, it still can't be defeated, and it will only lose more vitality in vain.

"Your Majesty, Jiannu can dominate outside the customs, it is by no means an idle person, what we can see, they will also see, Your Majesty went to Yongping Mansion to gather soldiers and horses, and Jiannu mobilized the main force of soldiers and horses to attack Yongping Mansion, isn't this being led by Jiannu?"

Ling Jingyang spoke very straight, Li Zicheng and the other generals were furious, a little lieutenant dared to talk to the Son of Heaven like this, Yuan Zongdi hurriedly drank back Ling Jingyang, although he was angrily reprimanding Ling Jingyang, but he was also protecting Ling Jingyang.

Li Zicheng still decided to lead the remnants and retreat to Lulong County to gather troops and horses, Ling Jingyang looked at the Dashun Emperor and the military generals of Wenchen who fell into madness, even if he had the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, he couldn't pull back this group of stubborn soldiers, and he couldn't persuade Li Zicheng to retreat, so he had to make sacrifices.

"Your Majesty, the last general Shiying is willing to disguise the middle camp, retreat to the Santun camp, lure Jiannu to pursue, and gather troops for Your Majesty to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu."

Ling Jingyang had such courage, Li Zicheng's displeasure with him suddenly disappeared, thinking that Ling Jingyang was quite righteous, and he really needed some soldiers to disperse the main force of Jiannu for him, and it was quite helpful to gather troops.

He agreed to Lingjingyang's troops disguised as the middle camp, and also gave some royal supplies to the stone camp, so that Jiannu mistakenly thought that the stone camp was the middle camp where he was.

"Ling Jingyang, your troops and horses will go to Santun Camp quickly, lead away some Jiannu, and the others will go to Lulong County with me."

In order to play the trick, Li Zicheng also gave Ling Jingyang unlimited rights, as long as he could see the stragglers of the Dashun Army, Ling Jingyang had the right to merge them into the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

The soldiers of the stone camp soon carried the military flag of the middle camp and the royal dragon flag brought by Li Zicheng on their shoulders, and retreated to the Santun camp, Li Zicheng and other senior generals of the Dashun army, all dressed as ordinary soldiers, Li Zicheng clamped the war horse with his legs, and the war horse rode in the dust, Liu Zongmin and other soldiers also followed the footsteps of Lao Tzu porcelain and went to Lulong County,

During the retreat, Li Zicheng felt more and more that Ling Jingyang had some reason, and ordered the rear battalion and the front battalion to retreat to Lulong County, and gather troops and horses in Lulong County.

Li Zicheng did this because he had a character of not admitting defeat, Shanhaiguan was attacked by Jiannu, and the soldiers were defeated, so in the decisive battle in Yongping Mansion, he believed that his Dashun army had beaten the Ming army and could also beat the Jiannu army.

Dashun was defeated, Dolgon was not carried away by the victory, occupied Shanhaiguan, surrendered the remnants of the Guanning army, he ordered all the troops to chase after the Dashun army, Hong Chengchou and others surrendered Ming Chen suggested that he should help Chongzhen to kill the capital under the banner of revenge, and obtain the support of the forces in the Guannei, Dolgon understood.

The general reported to him on the way to the pursuit, the Dashun army retreated, and there was a group of soldiers and horses to retreat to the Santun camp first, the number was not much, but the military flag was the banner of the middle camp of the Dashun army and part of the royal dragon flag, and part of the Dashun army retreated to Lulong and Qian'an.

Dolgon thought for a while, and ordered Duoduo to pursue the Dashun army that retreated to Qian'an, and the Azig department pursued the Dashun army in Lulong County.

Wu Sangui betrayed Li Zicheng and wanted to put Li Zicheng to death, so he said insidiously: "Regent, the Dashun army that retreated to the Santun camp, could it be the puppet Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng?" ”

Dolgon looked at Wu Sangui contemptuously, and said disdainfully: "This is just a small trick of the Dashun army, don't be deceived by them, the pseudo-shun was defeated by our army, I can't swallow this breath, I want to fight with our army again, how can I go to the far area of Santun camp, and all the departments will gather in Lulong and Qian'an, Dashun will not admit defeat, then they will be defeated." ”

Ling Jingyang's strategy was seen through by Dolgon, who only let a force of more than 1,000 people pursue the Santun camp, and the main force of soldiers and horses continued to pursue the Dashun army.
