At this moment, Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, hurriedly ran up the city wall, and when he saw the banners of those Manchu iron cavalry, his face turned a little pale.

Seeing that Xu Da, Duke of Wei, and Lan Yu, Marquis of Yongchang, both looked careless, Wu Sangui reminded:

"Wei Guogong, Yongchang Hou, those people are the Manchu Eight Banners, plus the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners that came one after another."

"The Manchus are going to make a big move this time."

Lan Yu leaned against the city wall and said nonchalantly:

"General Wu, no matter what Eight Banners he has, Benhou will let them come and go."

Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, looked at the Manchu camp in the distance and was silent.

……

Night falls.

Dozens of people quietly walked out of the Manchu camp and came to the foot of the Shanhai Pass, near a sparsely guarded city wall.

"Goo-goo-goo"

I saw the leader put his hands to his mouth, learned the sound of birds and birds, and called a few lowly.

A few seconds later, someone on the city wall poked his head out and shouted in a low voice:

"Is the city under the ancestral general?"

Zu Dashou raised his head, looked at the Shanhaiguan in front of him by the moonlight, and said with a wry smile:

"That's right, it's me."

The lieutenant cautiously turned his head to look behind him, turned his head, and threw the letter in his hand down the wall.

After Zu Dashou picked up the letter, he flipped through it and read it over and over again, confirming that it was Wu Sangui's reply, and took a deep look at Shanhaiguan.

Then he turned and departed with his men.

……

Meanwhile.

The adjutant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around, and said with a flattering face:

"General, the last general is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he never thought of defecting to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was the traitor of Wu Sangui and forced the last general to deliver letters for him."

I saw Yongchang Hou Lanyu eating roast lamb legs, and said casually:

"Ben Hou said that if you are guilty of meritorious service, he will not kill you, and it doesn't matter if Wu Sangui is not fooled."

"I really don't know what Emperor Chongzhen thinks, my uncle has taken refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he dares to let Wu Sangui, his nephew, guard the Shanhaiguan?"

The adjutant general stood aside with a smile on his face, echoing again and again.

……

After Zu Dashou returned to the Manchu camp, he walked into the tent of the Chinese military camp, bowed and bowed, and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, this is my nephew's reply."

The white-haired Huang Taiji took the letter, opened it, and said thoughtfully:

"General Zu, your nephew said that he would open the city gate tonight according to the plan, how credible do you think?"

"These days, the spies I sent to Daming have brought back a lot of bad news."

"Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were defeated too suddenly, and besides, that little emperor actually killed so many corrupt officials in Shuntian Mansion."

Zu Dashou pulled the corners of his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, this is our only chance for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, taking advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty has just calmed down the internal troubles, the treasury is empty, and the army is tired, we will break through the customs in one fell swoop."

"If you miss this opportunity, the Manchu Qing can only wait for the Ming Dynasty to come to the door."

Huang Taiji knocked on the armrest of the dragon chair and said:

"I'll think about this matter carefully, you go down first."

Zu Dashou bowed, turned around and bumped into Fan Wencheng, nodded, and left.

……

Inside the camp of the Han Eight Banners.

Hong Chengchou gently wiped his armor, and suddenly, Zu Dashou walked in with two pots of spirits.

After sitting down on his own, he grabbed a pot of spirits, took a big sip, and said:

"Have you heard? Your Majesty he...... It's finally a bit of an emperor. ”

"Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were defeated."

Hong Chengchou's movements stiffened slightly, and immediately, he put his armor aside, picked up the spirits, and said:

"We have no way out, Your Majesty's temperament is not unclear, too suspicious."

"We have surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if we go back, Your Majesty will definitely get rid of us."

Zu Dashou remembered Zhu Youzhen's suspicion, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless.

……

Late at night.

There was silence inside and outside Shanhaiguan, with only a few patrolling defenders walking up and down the city walls.

In fact, since the Battle of Songjin, more than 100,000 troops were killed, and the general soldier Wang Tingchen and others were defeated and executed.

Jiliao Governor Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Zu Dale returned to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The defenders guarding the Shanhaiguan have long lost their fighting spirit.

……

I don't know when, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners, adding up to nearly 100,000 troops, quietly left the camp under the leadership of the generals.

Huang Taiji wore armor, rode on a tall horse, looked at Shanhaiguan like an empty city under the night sky, and said confidently:

"Mr. Fan, this time my Qing Dynasty will definitely be able to enter the Central Plains like the Yuan Court!"

Fan Wencheng stroked his palm and chuckled, echoing:

"Your Majesty, the general trend of the Ming Dynasty has gone, and the people's will is not attached, it is a good time to change the dynasty!"

"The best thing is that the little emperor sent the 100,000 troops of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who had just pacified Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, to Shanhaiguan, with the original intention of stopping us and others."

"But it just happened to let Wu Sangui completely surrender to the Qing Dynasty, the time, place and people are all in the Qing Dynasty, this battle will be won!"

……

A moment later, Zu Dashou led tens of thousands of Han people to the foot of Shanhaiguan, and according to the pre-agreed code, he was just about to learn to call birds.

Suddenly, a soldier wearing a helmet with a face that could not be seen clearly poked his head out and asked:

"It's Zu Dashou? General Zu? ”

Zu Dashou heard that this person's voice was not a deputy general, nor was it Wu Sangui, and he suddenly became suspicious in his heart and asked:

"Who are you?"

As he spoke, Zu Dashou ordered the army to retreat slowly in a low voice.

In the next second, a sneer sounded:

"Benhou... Sapphire! ”

"After this battle, Ben Hou may be able to call himself the prince of the country!"

"Put"

In the next second, countless torches lit up, and I saw that the city wall was full of Ming troops wearing sharp armor.

Immediately after, a deafening sound of artillery rang out.

"Boom Boom"

With just one round of artillery, the tens of thousands of troops led by Zu Dashou suffered a lot of damage, and they hurriedly counterattacked with firearms, but with little success.

At the same time, after Hong Chengchou saw the movement of Shanhaiguan, a tangle flashed in his eyes, and he ordered:

"Someone...... With artillery! ”

The Manchus were not without artillery, or rather, the Ming army was defeated repeatedly, and the artillery captured by the Manchus was innumerable.

It's just that the tens of thousands of Han Eight Banners led by Zu Dashou didn't bring artillery in order to join forces with Wu Sangui and ambush the 100,000 tired reinforcements.

……

Inside Shanhaiguan.

in the barracks.

The sound of artillery that resounded in the night sky suddenly woke up Wu Sangui, who was asleep.

Suddenly, Chang Sen lifted the curtain and broke into the tent, holding a brazier in one hand and biting a hare that was about to be roasted in his mouth.

Seeing Wu Sangui's shocked face, Chang Sen put down the brazier, sat there in a grand manner, roasted the hare, and said:

"Wu Sangui, on the first night we came to Shanhaiguan, your lieutenant was caught by us."

"If I were you, I would be honest, maybe Emperor Chongzhen would be in a good mood and would be able to let go of your nine clans."

Wu Sangui, who had already held the weapon, was cold, and remembered that he saw the Manchu Eight Banners coming today, and said in horror:

"Your purpose is Huang Taiji and the Manchu Eight Banners!"
