Chapter 276: Li Zicheng and Dolgon (Three Watches)
The Ming army seized the fighter plane and rushed to the front of the pass to attack the city directly, not afraid of the danger of the mountain and the city, and there were martial arts masters to take the lead in grabbing the pass.
Tang Wancai and Li Miniang, who were ordered to assist them, flew up to the city, and the Qing army on the city was beaten to the ground, and the dead bodies flew all over the sky, and they were planted outside the pass.
Therefore, the Ming army easily scattered the Qing army here with a single charge, and 10,000 troops poured into the pass from Beishui Pass......
After entering the city, the 10,000 Ming army was divided into two routes, and Leng Yundeng, the chief soldier of the second battalion, led 5,000 men and horses to the north to kill in order to capture the northern wing city and Xiluo City, assisted by Tang Wancai, a martial arts master.
Zhou Qing, the governor of the second battalion, led 5,000 men and horses to the southeast to kill, assisted by the martial arts master Li Youniang, in order to capture the main Guancheng and Dongluo City.
For a time, the Guancheng of Shanhaiguan also became a battlefield, and there were scenes of the Dashun army chasing and killing the Qing army everywhere.
These Qing soldiers were confused, and before they understood what was going on, they became ghosts under the knife of the Ming army.
But many Qing soldiers thought that Wu Sangui had turned against the water, and their prince Dolgon fell for Wu Sangui's trick to surrender, so he had to fight and retreat, and ordered someone to report to Dolgon quickly......
Just when the Ming army began to seize Shanhaiguan, the battle of the main force of the Qing army outside Shanhaiguan against the Dashun army had begun.
On the vast battlefield from the sea to the front of Shanhaiguan, the two sides turned on the field mode......
Dolgon, who thought he was smart, forced Wu Sangui and others to shave their hair, and the Qing army had already entered the customs, and he felt that this was foolproof.
And at this time, the time for the battlefield outside the gate that he was waiting for was ripe.
The Dashun army and the Wu army rushed and killed for another night, the Wu army was wiped out, and the Dashun army was also exhausted, which was the perfect time for them to send troops.
Therefore, Dorgon ordered his brother and brother, two capable generals, and the two princes of the Qing Dynasty, Duoduo and Azig, to lead 40,000 Qing troops out of the pass.
In addition, 10,000 horses from Aobai, the first warrior of Manchuria, descended from Huanxi Ridge, and a total of 50,000 Qing troops were arrayed on the seaside.
The reason why Dolgon was here was because he had been on the Weiyuan Fort in Huanxi Ridge for a long time and had been using a single-barreled telescope to spy on the battlefield five miles away.
He designed Wu Sangui's men to send Li Zicheng's head to observe the reality of the Dashun army and consume the strength of both sides.
Through the observation of these two days, he already knew the topography here and the reality of the Dashun army, especially last night, he watched here for half a night, and he also saw through the long snake formation of the Dashun army.
Close to the sea, here is the tail of the long snake formation of the Dashun Army, and it is also the weakest point of the Dashun Army.
Li Zicheng's reason for arranging troops in this way was because it was near the sea, and it was impossible for the Wu army to escape from the sea, so the deployment of the Dashun army was weak.
The important soldiers and horses were deployed in the central and northwest battlefields, but the southeast was the tail of the formation, and there were only a small number of troops.
Li Zicheng used this trick to deal with Wu Sangui's men and horses very effectively, and Wu Sangui's men and horses poured out of the nest, including the most ferocious Guanning Iron Cavalry, and they could not break through this one-word long snake array.
However, while Li Zicheng succeeded in his strategy and tactics against Wu Sangui, his weaknesses were also fully exposed to Dolgon.
Dolgon seized the weakness of Li Zicheng's formation and commanded 50,000 Qing troops to begin to line up on the seaside.
These 50,000 Qing troops were not many compared to Li Zicheng's 70,000 or 80,000 Dashun troops and the 100,000 rabble on the periphery.
But these 50,000 horses are all the elite divisions of the Manchu Eight Cavalry, and the commander-in-chief is three generals, in addition to the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the other two are the Qing prince Duoduo and Azig.
The two brothers did not inherit much of his father's ability to govern the country and the country, but their ability to kill people was better than the blue.
Among the 50,000 Qing troops, there were also thousands of Mongols***, who were once eagles on the steppe, with the blood of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, although they are now subject to the Qing Dynasty, but their nature of killing and fighting has never changed.
Dolgon didn't even use the Han Eight Banners this time, and another 50,000 Qing troops, including the men and horses of King Sanshun, these Qing army infantry and other logistics support troops, including the heavy artillery Wuzhen Chaoha, had been thrown three hundred miles away by their cavalry.
For this battle, the cunning Dolgon was very well prepared, and every step was cautious, and he is still warning the three generals: without the king's decree, no one can be lightly moved...... Our troops entered the customs several times, but failed to capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but was taken by Li Zicheng, and the Dashun army must not be taken lightly......
Dolgon was arranging his troops, and Li Zicheng, who was commanding the Dashun army to annihilate the remnants of the Wu army on the high post on the bank of the Xishi River, of course, also discovered tens of thousands of horses in the Qing Dynasty.
The great strategist Niu Jinxing's heart flipped and said to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, what is the intention of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to line up on the seaside?"
Song Xiance also reminded Li Zicheng, "Lord, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and it must be guarded against."
Li Zicheng shook his head, "Forty or fifty thousand Qing troops, what's the way? If they are not the enemies of my Great Shun Army, leave them alone."
Listen, up to now, Li Zicheng is still in the shelf, the wolf has arrived at his doorstep, and he still turns a blind eye, let alone the strategy of dealing with the Qing army, and there is no plan.
All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted.
Compared with Dolgon's old female cadres and strategists, there is a big difference, and there is no reason for him to be undefeated in this battle!
