Gao Di didn't know that Li Zicheng fled first, and took the Ming cavalry like a demon, rushing into the army and slashing wildly, 8,000 people and horses all wanted to make meritorious contributions, and no one left behind.

Although the intrusive troops who did not withdraw were also from the old battalion and had rich combat experience, they were now all with their families, and they were not capable of organizing effective counterattacks and resistance at all.

In a very short period of time, it was cut and surrounded by the Ming army.

Gao Di led people to attack back and forth in the army, constantly harvesting human lives, although he killed countless enemies, but he was anxious.

This battle has recovered a vast area including the Beijing Division, which is already a great achievement.

But catching the thief Li Zicheng is a real earth-shattering and famous achievement.

He rushed back and forth for four or five rounds, and gradually realized that something was wrong.

The battle was too easy, and there were too many old and weak women and children.

"Oops, I was run away by the main force of the thieves!"

Gao Di shouted that he had made a mistake, and rushed out of the enemy formation with his horse, galloping westward, and when he came to the west side, he saw a large number of horses' hoof prints, and slapped his thighs angrily.

He originally wanted to organize his men and horses to continue the pursuit, but all his 8,000 men and horses had already rushed into the enemy line.

There, there were not only the 6,000 men and horses that Li Zicheng gave up, but also a large number of family members of the army, enough 10,000 or 20,000 people.

The two sides are entangled and inseparable.

Gao Di had no choice but to order to intensify the slaughter, and the intruding army that escaped while the chaos was not allowed to pay attention, just to disperse these people as soon as possible so that they could pursue again.

Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, and in order to protect their families, the fighting power of the soldiers broke out, although they were in the situation of individual combat, they still dragged the Ming army.

It took two hours for the massacre to come to an end.

Although he successfully defeated this group of intruders, the battlefield was full of blood.

But under the count, Gaodi also lost more than 2,000 people.

"The soldiers of the old camp of thieves are really fierce. In such a desperate situation, there can be such a result! Gaudi was overwhelmed with emotion.

Looking at the exhausted and bloodstained soldiers, he knew that there was no way to pursue anymore, although he regretted his recklessness, but seeing Li Zicheng's abandoned baggage, his heart blossomed.

It is rumored that Li Zicheng extorted hundreds of officials and merchants by torture in Beijing, and collected 70 million taels of silver, with countless treasures. They must all be here.

With such an earth-shattering wealth, he didn't dare to be greedy for a penny. The main reason is that he is afraid that the rumors are not true, in case there is only 10 million silver, and in the future, Chongzhen will ask where the other 60 million taels of silver go, and he will really have a hard time telling.

Therefore, he immediately sealed the baggage, was not allowed to count, was not allowed to check, and led 6,000 men and horses to return to Beijing with the original materials.

At this time, Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, had gathered a lot of civil and military forces to restore order in the capital.

Most officials already knew that Li Zicheng was defeated by Wu Sangui, Gao Di and others, and fled in a hurry.

The officials who had surrendered were in a panic, and those who did not hold official positions in the Dashun Dynasty were fortunately, and the officials who had accepted the appointment of the Dashun Dynasty knew that a great disaster was coming.

Some of them were alert, taking advantage of the fact that the gate of the Beijing Division was not closed, packed up and hurriedly went west with their families.

But most of them took a fluke and stayed in the Beijing Division, thinking that no matter which prince ascended the throne, there could be no shortage of ministers, and under the principle of not holding the public accountable to the law, they could still find an official and a half-job, at least they could save their lives.

Gao Di led the army into the city in the afternoon, and immediately blocked the nine gates, led the troops into the private residences of the major officials, and brought out all his family members regardless of age.

After that, he ordered 6,000 soldiers to disperse, with small flags as a unit, wandering the streets of the Beijing Division, each small flag must find 40 strong men, whether it is hard to pull, coercion and temptation, it is necessary to expand the number of soldiers as soon as possible.

At that time, the small flag will be directly promoted to the general flag, and the remaining 9 soldiers will be promoted to the small flag or deputy small flag.

Although the general manager cannot be promoted immediately, and he needs to wait for the appointment of Chongzhen or Ni Yuanlu, the soldiers led by the president will increase exponentially, which is also majestic.

Because of the attrition in the battle, most of the small banners were dissatisfied, and everyone had the opportunity to be promoted to officer, so everyone went to catch the strong men with great interest.

For a time, there were many complaints and cries in the city.

At this time, the city of Beijing experienced the double disaster of the great plague and the war, and almost every family wore filial piety.

The population, which had stabilized for decades, had fallen from 800,000 to less than 600,000. Excluding women and children, the disabled, and the elderly, there are not too many young men.

But it is still possible to draw out 40,000 or 50,000 people from it.

Under the whip and roar of Sergeant Gaudí, tens of thousands of people completed the transformation from inhabitants to warriors.

Fortunately, in the Gaodi army, the military uniforms were sufficient, the food was full, and they could receive more to send to their families to subsidize their families, and the recruits gradually settled down.

After all, eating a full stomach is more important than anything else!

At the same time, Li Banghua was reading a document repeatedly, which was a secret decree from Chongzhen sent by Gao Di's own soldiers.

He figured out the deep intention between the lines, and vaguely guessed Chongzhen's intentions, and his scalp tingled for a while, but Li Banghua, who had experienced a great disaster, agreed with Zhu Youjian's idea very much, and began to prepare casually.

Outside Shanhaiguan, Zhu Youjian walked out of the city gate with 300 personal guards and 1,500 flying dragon troops.

Because along the Great Wall, especially in the Gyeonggi area, the various passes have been left undefended. Shanhaiguan is an isolated city, and there are few people and horses in the city, which has lost its strategic significance.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian used this city as a large hospital, leaving 500 Flying Dragons to take care of it, so that the wounded soldiers could recuperate here.

The other Wyvern troops were sent to the Yanshan garrison to join up with the Yue family army, and while replenishing their equipment, they also brought new blueprints.

What's more, go all out to find the prince!

Zhu Youjian took two princes and four civil servants, under the protection of his own soldiers, and gathered Gaodi's stragglers along the way, gathered the displaced people, and went to Beijing.

……

Liaodong.

Outside Ningyuan City, Wu Sangui looked at the border town he had been stationed in for many years, and was stunned.

The scout knew that Pinciber had arrived, and rushed to report the situation in the city.

When he learned that Jianyu bypassed the city and fled north directly, and did not even arrange an ambush, Wu Sangui directly waved his army north.

An army of 10,000 swept through the city.

Although the long-distance run is very tiring, everyone musters up courage and does not complain.

At this time, the original more than 50,000 people in Shanhaiguan were killed more than 15,000 and more than 4,000 were wounded.

Two hours later, Li Yutian, who was delayed and swept away, also arrived at the foot of Ningyuan City, and after some inspection, 1,000 soldiers were left behind and continued to pursue.

Wu Sangui pursued all the way, except for catching up with the lone soldiers who fell behind, he gained very little, and he was very anxious, but he still didn't dare to rush in easily.

The examples of Li Guo and Li Zicheng are right in front of him, and he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

So he has been carefully probing, and the dangerous valleys have been detoured to avoid, and Li Yutian has swept the tail behind him, and he is not worried about missing anything, and he is not worried about being surrounded.

Finally, two days after the attack, he saw Jianyu's baggage troops, this is a mountain, the field of vision is quite broad, it was really ambushed, with the advantage of their cavalry, they can still break through.

So Wu Sangui immediately ordered an attack.

Ten thousand cavalrymen galloped away, sabers and spears.
