Chapter 377: Xifengkou Victory (Five Watches)

It is more than 300 miles away from Shanhaiguan in the area of Xifengkou of the Great Wall.

The time was close to noon on the first day of Chongzhen's battle.

20,000 *** rounded Mongolia, and after three days and nights of galloping horses, they stopped here.

But there are a lot of ***, and the eyes suddenly widened, and the Xifengkou Pass City stood impressively.

In their minds, this was a section of the Great Wall, and they followed Huang Taiji several times to march south from here, without any shelter.

Raiding Gyeonggi, burning and looting all the way, and then retreating from here, it's not happy.

Now the collapsed place is actually blocked? And there seems to be a garrison of the Ming Dynasty on it.

"What should I do?"

Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi, Huaishun Wang Geng Zhongming, saw the Xiongguan in front of him was also a little dizzy.

The high Great Wall of Xifengkou Pass rises and falls between the mountains and mountains like a giant dragon, so strong and dangerous to attack hard, their 20,000 horses do not carry heavy weapons, I am afraid that it will not be successful.

But if they go back the way they came, the regent Dolgon might cut off their heads, don't look at them all princes, one regent can reach more than 100 of their Sanshun kings.

He is the Prince of the Qing Dynasty, and he is said to be the regent, but Shunzhi is a 6-year-old child, and he is actually the emperor of the No. 2 Qing Dynasty.

King Sanshun began to discuss countermeasures, how could he enter the customs from here, attacked Shanhaiguan by surprise, and copied Chongzhen's back road?

While they were discussing countermeasures, there was a sudden chaos at the back of the team.

"What's going on?" The three big faces of King Sanshun are all a meal.

"The prince is not in a good situation, and a Ming army has cut off our back road...... We were ambushed......" The Qing army who reported the incident ran over and fell to his knees.

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi took off the big knife and led the men and horses to the back of the team.

At the behest of Chongzhen, Liu Chongxi's 5,000 men and horses were ambushed here. First, a burst of bows and arrows shot these Manchu *** to the ground.

Taking advantage of the panic, Liu Chongxi rushed into the ranks of the Qing army with his men and horses, shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth.

King Sanshun had just arrived at the back of the team, and at this time, the team in front of the 20,000 *** was in chaos again.

Xifengkou closed the door wide, and the guard Ma Xingquan, seeing that the time was ripe, rushed out with 3,000 men and horses.

20,000 *** abdomen and back were attacked by the enemy, and they were immediately messed up.

said that it was ***, in fact, these are all Han army, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, were originally generals of the Ming Dynasty.

After they defected and surrendered, they were named princes, and all the troops under their command were brought over when they surrendered, and they were compiled as the Eight Banners of the Han People.

To put it bluntly, this is a bloody battle between the Han soldiers and the Han soldiers.

It turned out that they were all regular troops of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all border troops, King Sanshun turned out to be Mao Wenlong's subordinates in Liaodong, Liu Chongxi and Ma Xingquan They had people and horses in Shanhaiguan, as well as the old department of Tang Tong Bai Guangen.

This vicious battle, from near noon to the westward setting of the sun, lasted more than three hours and lasted more than six hours.

In the end, King Sanshun was defeated with the remnants of his army, and finally fought his way out of the bloody road and ran into the Mongolian steppe......

Liu Chongxi and Ma Xing joined forces and chased out more than ten miles, only then did they stop the soldiers and horses.

Clear the battlefield and count casualties.

In this battle, they only paid the price of more than 2,000 casualties, and annihilated the main force of King Sanshun, destroying more than 10,000 enemies, including more than 4,000 prisoners.

The swords, spears, instruments, horses, tents, and other booty obtained are not counted.

Ma Xing also suffered two injuries all over his body, but he sat on the horse and carried a blood-dripping knife, and said with regret: "Your Majesty is really a god, otherwise, wouldn't *** be detained from here again?" It's a pity that the three traitors Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi ran away."

Liu Chongxi said, "Oops! The emperor ordered us to wipe out all these three thieves, and now they have all run away, and none of them have been caught.

"Brother Liu, how is it good?" Ma Xingquan's face also changed.

After all, Ma Xingquan was born in Xiangyong, and Liu Chongxi was originally a guerrilla general under Tang Tong.

Liu Chongxi said, "What else can I do? On the one hand, I asked the emperor for guilt, and there were so many prisoners, I also had to ask the emperor how to deal with it, and we would organize our soldiers and horses to chase and kill them overnight."

"It's up to Brother Liu."

The two of them originally had 10,000 soldiers and horses, but this battle lost more than 2,000 people, leaving more than 2,000 people to defend the city, take care of the prisoners, and clean up the battlefield.

The two generals jointly wrote an excerpt to Chongzhen overnight, detailing the course of the battle, and finally pleaded guilty to the emperor and asked for instructions on how to deal with the more than 4,000 prisoners.

After the fold was written, it was handed over to the Jinyi Wei who was responsible for delivering the news, and soon the fold was in the hands of Yang Wanli, the Qianhu of the Jinyi Guard, who was responsible for delivering the message.

Yang Wanli took the Jinyi guard along the Great Wall and galloped along the horse, the pass was unobstructed all the way, non-stop day and night, changed horses three times, rested twice halfway, and arrived at Shanhaiguan at noon on the second day.

Knowing that the emperor brought 20,000 soldiers and horses out of the customs to fight, Yang Wanli took a few brocade guards out of the customs to fight horses like flying......
