Throughout the day, the smell of meat wafted through Shanhaiguan, and thousands of soldiers set up countless baking ovens to roast horse meat all the time.

More soldiers are preparing supplies to defend the city, because the emperor said that tomorrow after a thief will be sent to death, he will attack the city with all his might.

It was night, and the lights in Shanhaiguan were still bright, and more baking ovens were built and put into use.

The aroma of barbecue even spread to the camp 3 miles away.

Li Yan, who smelled the smell of meat, walked out of his military tent and looked at Shanhaiguan from afar.

There was a red glow, as if it was on fire.

His eyes flickered, and he frowned in contemplation.

In recent days, he clearly felt that he had been snubbed by Li Zicheng, and none of his suggestions were adopted.

Seeing that the entire army was getting stronger and stronger, and also becoming more and more complacent and conceited, he was worried.

Li Zicheng and others also smelled it and walked out of the big tent one after another.

"Your Majesty, Shanhaiguan seems to be on fire?" Gu Ying, the general of the camp, said.

"It's not a misfire. There is no fire and the fragrance comes out. Niu Jinxing said.

Liu Zongmin looked at it for a while, smelled the smell of meat in the air, and said, "It's like the smell of horse meat." Could it be that Wu Sangui killed the war horse and cooked it overnight to be used as a gift tomorrow? ”

Niu Jinxing said with a laugh.

"Haha...... It's not impossible. He is a fickle villain, and now he is afraid of the might of our army, and he has to surrender.

killed the war horse, first, he cut off his hands and feet, proving that he had no intention of revolting and was even more incapable, and second, he knew that our army was moving and the army was coming, haha......"

"Hahaha......"

When they heard this, they burst out laughing.

Compared with the ease and happiness of breaking into the camp, the soldiers on the city wall of Shanhaiguan were busy.

Everyone piled up the equipment to defend the city, and even brought up cans of horse oil. Don't dare to slack off.

Five miles east of Shanhaiguan, the 60,000-strong army led by Dolgon had just arrived and was encamping.

The army arrived late at night, apparently after a long run.

The cavalry were all panting and exhausted. Set up camp and fall asleep.

Dolgon, with a thousand guards, traveled another three miles to the south, climbed a dirt slope, and overlooked the Shanhaiguan Pass.

Seeing the red light of Shanhaiguan, I knew that it was Wu Sangui who was preparing for war.

"Since the war has not yet begun, pass the order to go down, and the whole army will rest tonight and tomorrow to recuperate!"

"Huh!"

Dorgon looked at it for a while, and then rode back to the camp.

From afar, he saw Duoduo leading his troops at the gate of the camp.

"Prince Yu, what's wrong, why don't you go to rest." Dorgon asked.

"Back to the regent, the detective came to report that 100 miles west of the camp, there were tens of thousands of charred corpses, and I couldn't tell which people they were. This king is trying to go and see it. ”

Dolgon thought for a while and said, "You don't have to go, eighty percent of Li Zicheng came over to surround Shanhaiguan's men and horses, and was ambushed by Wu Sangui. ”

"But ......"

"Go and rest first, just send a few steady veterans. The big war is coming, you and I should rest as soon as possible. ”

Dorgon, without giving Dordor a chance to argue, took everyone back to the camp.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was bright, the sentries who broke into the camp saw more than 30 cavalry rushing from afar.

Immediately sounded the alarm, a team of 100 people went out of the camp and surrounded it, and after talking, hurriedly led the people straight into the Chinese army.

Before Li Zicheng got up, he heard someone report it.

A Gollum got up and ordered someone to come in, and it turned out to be Li Guobing.

"What's wrong. Is there anything urgent about Li Guo? Let you come back overnight? ”

"Your Majesty, our Zhongfu army has been annihilated, and the two generals are nowhere to be found!"

"What?" Li Zicheng stood up, "Tell me what's going on." ”

The soldier picked up important things and said something important, Li Zicheng frowned when he heard it, "It's just a mouthful, how can there be a scarecrow in this world to become a soldier, come quickly, who are you sending a spy." ”

The soldier was shocked: "Your Majesty, you have seen a humble position, how can you say that you are a spy." ”

Where is Li Zicheng willing to believe, he threw the soldier out of the tent, and when he walked out, he saw that there were still more than 30 cavalrymen who fled back in embarrassment.

Most of them are veterans who have followed the army since Shaanxi.

It can't be a spy.

Is something really wrong? Li Zicheng said to himself, "Quick, let Niu Jinxing and Li Yan come." ”

After a while, Niu and Li came one after another, and when they heard what happened, they were all accidents.

Niu Jinxing's eyes rolled, and he said, "Come on, behead these more than 30 spies who disturb the morale of the army!" ”

The soldiers were shocked and begged for mercy.

Li Yan was also surprised, and hurriedly stopped, "What does the military advisor mean by this?" ”

"Scarecrows become soldiers, bows and arrows can shoot 600 steps, do you believe this kind of lie? It is possible that General Li will be ambushed, there will be some losses, but it is absolutely impossible to be completely annihilated! ”

Niu Jinxing looked at Li Zicheng's face and continued:

"These people were obviously captured by the Ming army and sent back to disturb the morale of the army, so they should be beheaded quickly."

"Spare your life, spare your life!" When those soldiers heard that they were about to be beheaded, they shouted, "General Li has indeed been completely annihilated, and we are not lying......"

Li Zicheng heard their shouts, and his face suddenly darkened, that is, it was still early, and not many people got up, if it was left at noon, it would definitely destroy his fighting spirit.

He waved his hand, "Evil words confuse the crowd, and all of them will be beheaded." ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice, the minister suggested sending scouts to check it out." Li Yan stepped forward and said.

Li Zicheng didn't even look at Li Yan, glared at his own soldiers, and shouted, "Don't go yet!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Zicheng's personal soldiers obeyed the order and left, and after a while, the voice of shouting for mercy disappeared.

"Tightly seal the news, and when the word spreads, it will be said that the spy has been found out and has been corrected on the spot." Li Zicheng said sharply.

Li Yan sighed, if those soldiers didn't shout out loudly about the annihilation of Li Guo's entire army, they might not be able to die.

By the end of the day, the time for surrender had arrived, and Li Zicheng was ready to order people to lead his troops to Shanhaiguan to hand over.

Li Yan suggested that the army should go to Shanhaiguan and enter the customs directly.

However, Niu Jinxing thought that Li Zicheng was now a noble and could not go easily, and wanted to let Wu Sangui, Li Yutian and others come to the Chinese military tent to knock.

Liu Zongmin also thought so and asked for his life.

Wu Sangui almost didn't sleep all night, and he stood at the head of the city before dawn. Chongzhen's plan was too grand and radical, which made Wu Sangui tremble.

If he hadn't known about the existence of the Flying Dragon Army yesterday, he might have really faked it, opened the door and surrendered Li Zicheng, reflexively took Chongzhen, and then hit Dolgon by surprise.

Now, I don't dare to think about it anymore.

Wu Sangui only wants to annihilate the army in today's battle, so that his family in Beijing can save his life.

Suddenly, he saw 3,000 men rushing out of the camp of thieves, led by a general.

When the army approached, Liu Zongmin signed up for his own number and asked Wu Sangui to open the door and surrender.

"My good dear, the Holy Lord said that there would be a general coming, and now it is actually the marshal of the Chuang Army. Haha, make a fortune. ”

Wu Sangui raised his hand and signaled his soldiers to prepare.

The soldiers hurriedly turned the small artillery that Emperor Chongzhen had modified, aiming at the enemy general as much as possible.

Wu Sangui watched the calibration of the ten small cannons and shouted: "Release!" ”

Bang bang bang......

With the sound of ten cannons, Liu Zongmin was instantly overwhelmed by the flames.

Wu Sangui laughed and said, "Look at me and I won't be a marquis in the future!" ”
