Chapter 262: Li Zicheng's Reinforcements (Third Watch)
Chongzhen ordered Liu Chongxi, the chief soldier of the first battalion, and Leng Yundeng, the chief soldier of the second battalion, to lead his men and horses to hold a piece of Shiguan City, listen to the will, and use it as a suspicious soldier.
Sent the masters Gu Shunyi and Han Yin to lead 50 Jinyi guards to assist, of course, there is also a supervisory role, and Jinyi Wei, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, is to supervise the hundred officials.
Zhou Qing, the commander of the third battalion, led 5,000 men and horses to stand by in a piece of Shidong Pass, waiting for the opportunity to seize the Guancheng that was preparing to take Shanhaiguan, and Li Qiniang and Tang Wancai led 50 Jinyi guards to assist and supervise the team.
The remaining four battalions were supervised by Li Meng, the fifth battalion was supervised by Lu Mingzhang, and the sixth battalion was supervised by Ma Quanxing, plus 400 Jinyi guards, together with Wang Chengen and Gu Shunyi, accompanied by escorts, a total of 15,000 men and horses were stationed at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain to ambush.
In addition, Yang Wanli made good efforts, selected 50 Jinyi guards to be strong, responsible for collecting information from various departments, and the three parts of the people kept the information smooth, and it was necessary to be fast, relay to transmit information and will.
However, Yang Wanli and these 50 brocade guards are only responsible to the emperor, unlike the night not collected by the battalions, they are collecting letters for the soldiers and horses of each department.
People from all walks of life will act immediately after receiving the order......
Chongzhen's more than 10,000 horses, including more than 300 Jinyi guards, each brought three days of rations, and the water did not need to be brought, and when thirsty, they could drink the water in the stone river, which was mountain spring water, which was very clear.
And now it is the turn of spring and summer, and even in this forest it is lukewarm, which is very suitable for marching and fighting.
It is not easy to get lost along the stone river in the mountains and forests.
Chongzhen got up and led more than 10,000 troops to leave the Nine Gates Gate.
Because the area at the southern foot of Yanshan belongs to a shallow mountain, out of the southern foot of Yanshan, it is an open land until the sea, which is the plain in front of Shanhaiguan.
This open area seems to be a battlefield deliberately left for them by the heavens, suitable for fighting outside the city.
Chongzhen has been here twice, and he is definitely familiar with it.
And where is suitable for ambushing generals, he has been here twice, has seen the terrain, and has already done it in his heart.
But despite this, since they were setting up an ambush in the middle of the forest, they had to be safe.
It is relatively close to the Shanhaiguan battlefield and the large camp of the Dashun army.
They also have nights, just in case.
Chongzhen passed the decree and asked Ma Quanxing, the governor of the six battalions who was familiar with this area, to lead the 4,500 men and horses of the department, and to extract 300 Jinyi guards for him, led by Wang Chengen, to search the mountains and clear the field in this area first.
The common people have long since run out.
As long as there are people in this area, they will catch one by one when they see them, and they will all be treated as female cadres.
Nearly 5,000 people went through the net, and they really caught a few, and after interrogation, it was really the fine work of the Dashun army and the Wu army.
All of them were beheaded.
At noon, Chongzhen led 10,000 horses to arrive, and 15,000 people were ambushed in this area.
Chongzhen still went up to the cliff, which was condescending, and it was very suitable for looking at the situation of the Shanhaiguan battlefield not far away.
……
At this time, the Shanhaiguan battlefield was relatively calm.
Because last night there was a whole night of fighting, and both sides were resting their troops and horses.
Li Zicheng can't sit still in the red tile shop now.
Zhao Gang, the master of the Wudang faction, returned defeated, and the three people who were the monk of emptiness and the person who burned the lamp were all injured.
Li Zicheng was stunned, Wudang Shaolin Kunlun, these three masters can't take Chongzhen together?
It is said that there is also a master of the White Lotus Sect, Soul Chasing, and Sikong Liao also participated in the havoc at the Nine Gates, but was beheaded by Chongzhen's sword.
The Dog Emperor actually cultivated the Sword Spectrum to ward off evil spirits and had an affair with the Demon Sect?
The empty monk felt that his face was gloomy, and he saluted Li Zicheng and said, "Amitabha, the king is worry-free, and the poor monk has already flown the pigeon to pass the book, so that the three senior brothers of Kongwen, Kongtian, and Kongkong rushed to Shanhaiguan. After our four famous Shaolin monks gathered, we will settle accounts with the faint monarch together."
Zhao Laodao of the Wudang Sect also interjected, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Dusk Jun wants to be the enemy of the world's martial arts, and he also threatens to dominate the rivers and lakes, and the poor Dao has sent people to worship Uncle Taiyi Zhenren, if my uncle comes
, the faint king can only be captured."
Li Zicheng felt little comfort in his heart.
On the battlefield of Shanhaiguan, the results were not ideal.
Now after two days and one night, only one northern wing city was taken, the western camp of the Wu army was uprooted, and three or four thousand Wu troops were forced to surrender.
However, the Dashun army suffered heavy casualties, his elite troops suffered more than 20,000 casualties, hundreds of generals above the post commander level, and among the 24 generals, Dang Shousu and Xin Sizhong were wounded.
Shanhaiguan is still impregnable, and tactics must be changed.
Li Zicheng decided to personally go out today and fight to the death with the Wu army.
At this moment, Li Guo led 10,000 horses to escort grain and grass to arrive.
Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, and he is nicknamed a tiger. With a tiger-headed golden gun in his hand, he bravely crowned the three armies, no less than Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi during the Three Kingdoms period.
is definitely a member of the Dashun Army Group, if you talk about combat effectiveness, Liu Zongmin ranks first, Tian Zhanxiu ranks second, and the third has to be Li Guo.
The arrival of this new force also brought sufficient food and salary, which made Li Zicheng feel comforted in his heart, coupled with the fact that there were many victories and defeats in the past few days, and the Dashun army was in a big array.
Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo discussed countermeasures, and the Wu army occupied favorable terrain and attacked on behalf of the defense, causing them a lot of casualties.
In the end, he thought that it was necessary to lure the Wu army out of the city, have a decisive battle, and completely defeat Wu Sangui's men and horses, so that he could go down the Shanhaiguan.
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
