Jizhou City.

Li Zicheng sat in his chair panting and was out of breath.

"The hateful Wu Sangui actually led the Jurchen savages into the customs and raided our army! It's really hateful, pass my order to go, and after returning to Jingshi, immediately kill Wu Sangui's entire family! ”

"Yes!" The herald said, go out quickly.

"Your Majesty, there is a group of Guanning cavalry in the rear, the number is unknown, and it may be killed tomorrow morning.

In the current situation, our army should not be entangled, time is pressing, please rest your majesty early, and we will continue to advance westward before dawn. Niu Jinxing said.

"It's fine. It's just that I didn't expect the Jianyu cavalry to be so powerful, and it's no wonder that they easily rushed into Gyeonggi many times and wreaked havoc. Li Zicheng thought of yesterday's fight, and he was still afraid.

The minister was also amazed. But thanks to them, Emperor Chongzhen Dog was able to deploy the most elite troops in the Nine Border Towns and gave us a chance. Niu Jinxing laughed.

"Hmph, before the Jurchen savages were detained, Chongzhen had to defend, this is the wicked have their own wicked grinding! I don't want to now, we have to resist it. Li Zicheng said unwillingly, "We have to gather generals as soon as possible to block those wild people." ”

"No, those savages will come in and grab the floating wealth, they won't stay for long, our new calendar" is defeated, and only 10,000 of the 100,000 army is left, so it is not suitable to fight again. The minister suggested that the whole army should withdraw to Shanxi, and then return to Gyeonggi when the savages had retreated. ”

Niu Jinxing said seemingly calmly.

"Let's discuss it again when we go back to Jingshi, I'll sleep first." Li Zicheng was really tired, and he fell asleep when he lay down.

Meanwhile.

Gao Di took part of the cavalry and set up a large camp in Yutian and Zunhua.

In the past two days, in accordance with Zhu Youjian's will, he scattered 10,000 troops, swept along the way in groups of three, and killed many thieves, west of Shanhaiguan, everywhere bloody.

It was only at this time that Gao Di understood how holy Chongzhen's previous training methods were.

Before the war, Chongzhen strictly forbade the drill formation in Shanhaiguan, and specialized in studying the cooperation and long-distance attack of the three-person team.

Now it's finally working.

These 10,000 cavalry, scattered throughout the Kansai region, are like thousands of sharp blades, harvesting the lives of thieves everywhere, and I don't know how much more efficient it is than the large army gathering together.

Most of the routs who broke into the army took off their armor and weapons, and fled in all directions, just to run faster and scatter more, so as not to be chased by the Guan Ning army and Jianyu, and kill them like cutting melons and chopping vegetables.

But they never expected that the Guan Ning army abandoned the traditional pursuit method and scattered to chase and kill.

In two days, almost all the stragglers who fled to Beijing became lonely ghosts.

"The Holy One is really a man of God!"

This sentence is said by Gaudí hundreds of times a day.

"Pingbeibo, the scout horse came to report, Li Zicheng's main force has entered Jizhou." A pro-soldier approached to report it.

"Hmph, I guess the thief can't run. How many men do we have on our hands? Can the city be sieged? Gaudi asked.

"Less than three thousand."

"That's not possible, count him Li Chuang's fate, you give the order, quickly gather the army, and we will go straight to the capital division at dawn tomorrow. Don't bother with the scattered bandits, we have more important things to do! "Gaudi.

He repeatedly recalled Chongzhen's plan and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Nanking.

Zhu Yousong stood outside the palace Yangxin Palace, surrounded by military generals such as Ma Shiying and Huang Degong.

"Do those Donglin Party members have any objections? Or do you insist on letting me prison the country? Zhu Youxiang asked.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, they were still clamoring to let the country be imprisoned first, and then ascend the throne, but now Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi are closed, obviously acquiescing, and no one dares to raise objections anymore." Ma Shiying said with a smile.

Zhu Youxiang sneered: "Hmph, in the dispute over the country's capital, the Donglin Party made my father lose the position of prince, and now it is not returned to me?" If my father had inherited the throne back then, how could my Ming Dynasty have fallen to such a point? ”

"Your Majesty." The dispute between the country and the country is not something that Ma Shiying can intervene in now, so he has to come up with a daily compliment.

"Hmph, these Donglin's cheap bones dare to let me prison the country! When I ascend the throne on the second day of the fifth month, I will have their own benefits! Zhu Youxiang said hatefully.

……

Shanhaiguan Chamber.

"Hahaha, my son is heroic!" Zhu Youjian praised King Ding loudly.

"Erchen just did what the descendants of the Zhu family should do, and he can't say the word heroic!" King Ding is very modest.

Wu Sangui, Gao Di and others looked sideways, King Ding was only 15 years old, he could be so calm, so fearless, admirable.

Just look at the great talent of the father and son of the Heavenly Family, and the Ming Dynasty will not die!

"In the past five days, all Aiqing has frustrated the thieves, blocked the construction of the captives, and worked hard. I will be rewarded for my generals! Zhu Youjian said loudly.

The ministers in the hall were terrified, and they didn't even dare to say it.

"Jianyu is still outside the city, and the secretary can't be careless. First, we must not let Jianyu slip away, and second, we must prevent Jianyu from sneaking up. Zhu Youjian continued.

"Yes."

"Our army is exhausted, and I believe that the Jianyu is even worse, and if they are found to be retreating, they must be pursued immediately. If they don't move, we'll take a break. ”

"Yes."

Zhu Youjian was also tired, so he handed over the military affairs to Wu Sangui and Ni Yuanlu, and went to rest by himself.

……

Build a large camp.

Dolgon's back pain was unbearable, and his mental state was extremely poor, but he still held on and sat in the tent of the Chinese army.

A pair of tiger eyes stared at the generals in the account.

"My army of 60,000 is now only 14,000 people, and the cavalry is less than 5,000 people, including more than 6,000 wounded soldiers. Dorgon said in a deep voice.

The generals were silent, just looking at the regent.

"The situation of our army is extremely critical, and the generals must not be careless! Tonight, we will strictly guard against a sneak attack by the Ming army, and after repairing it tomorrow, we will take the opportunity to withdraw our troops. ”

"Whoa......

"Let's all retreat." Seeing that his morale was low, Dolgon didn't want to say more, so he broke up the military discussion.

"Whoa......

Although Ao Bai and the others were unwilling, they knew that the defeat was decided.

The death of 46,000 people and horses in Shanhaiguan will be a shame for them for the rest of their lives.

The generals returned to their tents with grief and indignation, their eyes angry and empty, and they had lost their former self-confidence and heroism.

As soon as I wanted to sleep, I listened to the noise outside.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"Jingle Bell ......"

The guards of the large camp shouted as they rang the brass bells.

Abatai, Aobai and other generals hurriedly rushed out of the military tent and organized men.

At this time, thousands of rockets fell from the sky, and the camp was suddenly in chaos.

When Abatai led people to extinguish the fire, Ao Bai led people to rush out of the camp, where can you still see the shadow of the Ming army.

"Damn, even using tired tactics!" Ao Bai was furious, "Send more people to patrol outside the camp, so that the people in the camp can have a good rest!" In case of another sneak attack, a small force can confront it. ”

"Whoa......

Ao Bai was extremely tired, but he did not dare to return to the military tent, and fell asleep on the back of his horse.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, two cannon shots rang out throughout the battalion, and the entire battalion of soldiers was awakened.

When the patrol found the Ming position with the sound of artillery, they only found two guns that had been blown up, and they returned in a daze.

It's time for another stick of incense.

"Boom......"

"Da Da Da ......"

……

Throughout the night, Wu Sangui sent out more than a dozen night raid squads, constantly harassing Jianyu, but he slept until dawn.

After breakfast, he listened to the report of his own soldiers on the results of last night's battle, and he was in good spirits. touched his bald head, then took the wig given to him by Emperor Chongzhen, and happily climbed the city wall to inspect.
