Chapter 263: The Great Shun Army Makes a Desperate Gamble (Four Changes)
Li Zicheng ordered Li Guo to take 10,000 soldiers and horses to support Yuan Zongdi and Li You, because compared with Liu Zongmin's camp, this force was relatively weak.
Li Guo has the highest rank in the army, and he is a general, so he is responsible for commanding this team, and the total number of soldiers and horses in this team has reached 40,000.
Then Li Zicheng left the red tile shop with 20,000 elites and also went to the front line of the battlefield.
Li Zicheng pulled 20,000 horses out, plus Liu Zongmin and Li Guo's men and horses, all the people who could fight were pulled out, a total of 80,000 horses, Chen Bing was along the Xishi River and the East Stone River, and Wu Sangui's men and horses set up a decisive battle outside the city.
These 80,000 Dashun troops are Li Zicheng's elite.
The rest of the more than 100,000 Dashun troops were all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, most of them were adapted from the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty, and these rabbles were led by Jiang Pai to provide logistical support for the 80,000 horses.
As a last resort, Li Zicheng would not pull these people to the battlefield.
But at this time, the Shanhaiguan Pass, including Dongluo City, Xiluo City, and South Wing City, was closed like an iron bucket, and the Wu army in the East Camp outside the city was also hiding in the camp.
Li Zicheng saw that they didn't come out, and asked Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, will they come out?
Niu Jinxing smiled, "Lord, this is easy to do, find 500 people with loud voices, and scold them in front of the Shanhaiguan City and Wu Jun's barracks, and scold them until they come out."
Li Zicheng saw that this idea was not very good, but he and Song Xiance couldn't think of a better trick, so they had to do it.
The 80,000 troops picked 500 big voices, and soon these 500 people were selected, 400 were scolded under Shanhaiguan City and its acropolis, and the other 100 people were scolded at the gate of Dongdaying outside the Wu army.
You don't need to teach people to scold, what is ugly and what is scolded.
These 500 people lined up at the beginning, scolded by their ancestors and grandmothers. In the end, they were tired of scolding, they sat on the ground or even lay on the ground and scolded, greeting the three generations of Wu Jun's ancestors repeatedly......
Don't mention the ugly scolding, and it happened to be a southeast wind on this day, and hundreds of people shouted and scolded together, and the sound was naturally not small.
Coupled with Chongzhen and Wang Chengen, the hearing of the two people can only be described as amazing, and a few scolding words Chongzhen and Wang Chengen have also heard.
Wang Chengen's big fat face had a rich expression, "Master, these thieves are really good at scolding, and they don't do the same thing after scolding for a long time, what are these words?" It's just unbearable......"
Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh when he heard them scolding, but he didn't expect the ancients to scold people also had a set, the freshness of the scolding, how did this word come to mind!
"Master, what kind of skills do you say these thieves have, are they poor in thieves and donkey skills? Wu Sangui's people don't come out, does the scolding work? Women's insights......" Wang Chengen looked disdainful, savoring the content of their scolding, and the expression on his face was strange.
Chongzhen smiled and said, "Wang Daban, you are wrong, this trick of breaking thieves will definitely work, they will scold Wu Jun out."
"Emperor Shengming, I hope that the thieves can scold Wu Sangui's people and horses as soon as possible, and we can reap the benefits of the fishermen."
Wang Chengen thought that Chongzhen must have wanted Wu Jun to come out and fight the thieves to the death, so he deliberately said this.
But is it possible?
Wu Sangui suffered a loss, and in the face of a strong enemy, of course he was unwilling to go out of the city for a decisive battle, unless the reinforcements of *** arrived.
……
Shanhaiguan City.
At this time, Wu Sangui was even more anxious than Li Zicheng.
After two days and one night of fighting, even those who were killed and wounded, and those who surrendered to the Dashun army, exceeded the people.
He had few people, and 20,000 villagers were also dug up by Chongzhen's design.
Originally, less than 70,000 horses fought against the Dashun army, but now less than 40,000 can go to the battlefield.
The western camp outside the city was razed to the ground by the Dashun army.
There was only one Dongda Battalion left, but fortunately he sent the general Wu Zhimao to rescue in time, otherwise the Dongda Battalion outside the city would probably not exist at this time.
However, it was difficult to support a pillar, and the northern wing city also fell into the hands of the Dashun army, and the henchman Hu Xinshui was wounded.
What made him even more anxious was that the White Lotus Sect he invited was unreliable.
The hall master of Liaoxi Hall, who had the greatest hopes, was bragged about by Abbot Huiyuan and blown to the sky, and was beheaded with a sword in front of Chongzhen.
It is said that last night, the master of the Shaolin Wudang Kunlun faction also went to settle accounts with the faint king.
The masters of the 4 factions made a big fuss, and all of them were injured and fled.
Wu Sangui was a little afraid when he thought about it, the back road was cut off, and the sword of the Son of Heaven hanging above his head could fall at any time.
In addition, in the frontal battlefield in front of us, even the forces of the rivers and lakes are outnumbered, and the White Lotus Sect alone is no match for Shaolin, Kunlun, Wudang, and the Beggars.
Now the morale of the soldiers in the city is low.
If you continue to fight, I don't know if you can survive today...... Damn***, why haven't you come to help until now?
Wu Sangui was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
At this time, a scout came to report: "Uncle, the thieves are scolding and fighting outside the gate, and the scolding is simply unbearable."
"Pass on the order of the marshal, no one is allowed to fight, let him scold if he wants to scold, and if he can't listen to it, he will plug his ears!"
"Yes."
As soon as the scout left, another scout came to report: "Uncle, Dolgon has led the Manchu Eight Banners, and the vanguard team has reached Huanxi Ridge."
Joy made Lishan Customs less than ten miles away, and Wu Sangui was overjoyed when he heard it.
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
