Chapter 268: Suspicious Soldiers Dispatched (Fourth Watch)

Here, Wu Sangui led his men and horses from the heavy encirclement of the Dashun army, and just broke the siege successfully, and before he entered the customs city, Wang Chengen passed down Chongzhen's will.

It is 30 miles away from the Nine Gates, but there are already a sufficient number of brocade guards along the way from here to the Nine Gates of the Mountains, and they are specially responsible for transmitting information.

Therefore, after Wang Chengen passed the decree, the Jinyi guards along the way started an information transmission relay race, which was so fast that the word remote command could almost be used.

Wu Sangui was defeated and returned to Guancheng, and before his ass was warmed up, the will conveyed by Chongzhen at the southern foot of Yanshan had already arrived at the gate of Jiumen.

Liu Chongxi, the commander-in-chief of the first battalion, and Leng Yundeng, the commander-in-chief of the second battalion, had already made preparations, and after receiving Chongzhen's order, they immediately opened the city and sent troops, and handed over the task of guarding the pass to the third battalion.

As soon as night fell, 10,000 Ming troops drove out of Guancheng, and the target was of course the Qing army in the direction of Huanxiling.

According to Chongzhen's will, after leaving the city, the momentum was huge, and the flags were raised in the sky at night......

This force is the army that Tang Tong stationed at the Nine Gates in history, and the purpose is to cut off the return route of the Qing army.

Chongzhen skillfully set up suspicious soldiers in order to create a false impression for Dolgon and Wu Sangui.

This was planned by Chongzhen a long time ago, and now this team has been sent out by order......

Inside the city of Shanhaiguan.

The disgraced Wu Sangui had a sad face, embarrassed, and asked the strategist Fang Guangchen, "Ting Xian, is the Manchu *** playing tricks on us?"

Fang Guangchen sighed, "Uncle, if the war starts tonight, our more than 20,000 horses will definitely not survive the dawn, and Shanhaiguan will have to be broken by thieves. Uncle will go to see Dorgon again, it's time to show his cards."

Wu Sangui's face turned pale with anger, and he scolded: "Dolgon, this dog thing, he doesn't do anything about people, and he dares to play this lord......

Dorgon promised to send troops, but not a single soldier was sent.

Obviously, Wu Sangui was properly tricked by Dolgon in front of him.

This vicious battle caused Wu Sangui to lose nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and now the two large battalions outside the pass were all razed to the ground by the Dashun army.

The northern wing of the city also fell into the hands of the Dashun army, more than 100,000 Dashun soldiers came to the city, and also brought artillery, ready to attack the city overnight, to see that this means not to take the Shanhai Pass and vow not to stop.

Wu Sangui held back the fire in his belly, jumped in the city and scolded, scolding the three generations of Dolgon's ancestors several times, but finally calmed down.

His face also returned to normal, and Wu Sangui once again took more than 100 iron horsemen, including his right-hand men Wu Guogui and Hu Guozhu, to Weiyuan Fort to meet Dolgon.

Dolgon had already guessed that he was coming, and the Manchu *** did not stop them at all, and Dolgon greeted him warmly.

"Wu Dashuai, don't come to harm?"

Wu Sangui really wanted to slap him, suppress his anger, and scolded in his heart, bastard, you made Lao Tzu miserable!

But on the surface, you still have to give a salute to Dolgon, after all, there is a request, no matter how big the fire is, you have to swallow it in your stomach, "Wu Sangui has seen the prince."

"Hahaha, you're welcome, how about today's battle?" Dorgon asked knowingly.

Wu Sangui's face was a little pale, with frustration on the outside, and he didn't answer Dolgon's words directly, but said, "Lord, we have a gentleman's agreement, why don't we send troops to help?"

"The marshal and the anger of the thunder, the marshal doesn't know, this king is about to send troops, but suddenly found that the Nine Gates Guancheng is moving around your army, so he canceled the plan to send troops."

Dolgon glanced at Wu Sangui when he said this, Wu Sangui really had a surprised expression, and Dolgon continued, "If this king rashly sends troops, the marshal will take the opportunity to take revenge for the battle of the Great Ling River and the grudge of the Battle of Songjin, what will this king do?"

"Huh? ……」

Wu Sangui didn't expect that Dolgon would use this trick against him.

Obviously, this is an excuse, but when Dolgon said this, Wu Sangui couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Because what Dorgon said was not unreasonable.

In the Battle of Dalinghe and the Battle of Songjin that year, how many soldiers and generals did Huang Taiji take the Qing army to eliminate the Ming Dynasty?

In particular, the Battle of Songjin has only passed 4 years, and that great battle lasted for more than two years, and it was in that battle that the Ningjin defense line that the Ming Dynasty had operated in western Liaoning for many years was completely destroyed.

The Ming army successively invested 130,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 50,000 soldiers were killed, and Hong Chengchou, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in that battle.

In that war, the vitality of the Ming army was greatly injured and suffered such a big loss? Who wouldn't want the other party's revenge?

But Wu Sangui also knew that Dolgon was playing with wheels.

If Dolgon really had such worries, you could not agree to send troops, why did you bring so many soldiers and horses all the way to Shanhaiguan?

Wu Sangui looked at Dolgon again and felt that his winter melon face was difficult to read, especially his deep gaze, which could never see through him.

For the first time, Wu Sangui realized that Dolgon was a difficult old fox to deal with.

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui said, "In this way, the prince doesn't believe it."

Dolgon smiled, "Haha, if you don't believe it, this king and the marshal will not have today's alliance."

"How is the prince willing to send troops?"

Wu Sangui is most concerned about this matter now, if it drags on for a few more hours, he will be wiped out, and Shanhaiguan will fall into the hands of Li Zicheng.
