Seeing that the housekeeper was looking for someone to come and dispose of the corpses and bloodstains in the back garden, Wang Shuo went out to inform his guards and Luo Yangxing, and the operation was canceled.Then, he rode to Miyun on horseback, told Li Yan and Song Xiance the news of the failure to rescue the prince, and persuaded them to return to the northwest with him before Li Zicheng's defeat, so as to avoid more complications.Song Xiance pondered for a long time and asked: "How does the general know that Your Majesty will definitely fail" Wang Shuo made him speechless to ask, and said for a long time: "Dolgon will definitely put the main force in Shanhaiguan, plus Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry, King Chuang only has 80,000 people, of course, he can't beat their coalition army." ”Song Xiance shook his head and said, "Not really.We have received definite news that the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has come from Weng Hou to the Great Wall, and the destination of its march should still be the western and central wings.His Majesty has already set out at this time, and the Shanhaiguan Guanning Iron Cavalry, plus the original guarding Guan Ming Army and Xiangyong, but 50,000 people, will not be the opponent of His Majesty's 80,000 Zhongquan elites.His Majesty's short-term victory is reasonable.At this time, even if the Manchus changed their march route and turned to Shanhaiguan, it would be too late.There is no accident, after His Majesty eliminated Wu Sangui, the Manchu army could rush to the foot of the Great Wall, and at this time, there was no Wu Sangui to respond, only the return army did not fight with me is the best policy. ”Wang Shuo didn't know about the battle of Shanhaiguan, the movement of troops on all sides, and he didn't know how Li Zicheng was defeated, of course, he couldn't talk about Song Xiance.But one thing he was sure of was that Dorgon would appear at Shanhaiguan.Chen Yuanyuan was robbed by Liu Zongmin, and Wu Sangui finally betrayed King Chuang, which is the same as history.Well, his original assumption that he was in another parallel universe was untenable.If they don't leave at this time, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty comes, the entire Central Plains will be in a mess, and it will be very difficult to leave at that time.Song Xiance saw that Wang Shuo had been urging and misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he was afraid that he would regret not going back to the northwest with him, so he persuaded him: "Don't worry, General, neither Li Gongzi nor I are villains who break their promises.Since he promised to support the general, he will definitely not regret it.I also told the general that His Majesty Dashun cannot be regarded as a Ming monarch, and if he does not fail now, it cannot be said that he will not fail in the future, and his defeat is already a certainty.Even if he does not fail, the land of China will suffer even more catastrophe because of his absurdity.It is because we are willing to follow the general, open a new policy, and save Li Shu from fire and water. ”Then he said with a smile: "When the general was stable, I went to Longzhong and saw the general's new policy, and I sincerely admired it."
He also advised His Majesty many times to be like a general and love the people like a son, but he couldn't do so.When I first saw the general at Li Gongzi's place, I became suspicious, because I already knew the general's appearance.Later, when Li Gongzi treated a pro-army commander like this, he naturally thought that this pro-army commander was pretending to be a general.The general doesn't have to be suspicious, I'll go with the general sooner or later.It's just that we still need to find a way to get the prince away, as long as the prince doesn't die, we will have a chance.The general doesn't have to care about leaving early or late, a few days late is not necessarily a bad thing. ”Song Xiance rambled on a lot, so that Wang Shuo had no choice but to continue to wait.On the night of 20 April, Li Zicheng had already rushed to Shanhaiguan and set up camp west of Shihe in front of the pass.At dawn on the second day, he lined up 80,000 elites from Beishan on the west side along the Shihe River to the east, and lined up in formation.Wu Sangui already knew that Li Zicheng's army was coming, and he also led Guan Ning Tie to ride down the pass and open an army formation to meet the battle.The two armies faced each other across the stone river.At this moment, the season is lukewarm, the sky is clear, and the grass is green, but it is a good season for battlefield fighting.In front of Shanhaiguan, except for the north mountain in the west is relatively high, the rest is a horse flat river, the stone river in front of the pass flows into the sea from west to east, the water is not deep, and the horse can be crossed.In the vicinity of the Acropolis of Shanhaiguan, the river is even shallower, and there are just no horses' hooves, and the war horses can gallop past.Li Zicheng rode on a dirt hill called Miaogang on the west side of the Shihe River, observing the terrain, followed by Zhu Cihong, the former prince of the Ming Dynasty.After watching the battlefield, he turned his head to Zhu Cihong and said: "Go, persuade that rabbit cub to surrender, otherwise, what's the use of me keeping you" Zhu Cihong suffered a lot from Liu Zongmin, and it was even more common for him to be beaten by soldiers, and he hated people like Li Zicheng at this moment, and said with a cold smile: "Lone will only persuade General Wu to fight hard to kill the enemy, and there is no reason for him to recognize the thief as his father." ”Li Zicheng made him laugh angrily, and it took a long time before he said: "Oh, it's really a pity that your surname is Zhu, but it's a pity that it's useless to have another kind."
I'll let you see today, how did my Dashun soldiers kill your Da Ming officials and soldiers, and they won on the battlefield, this is called really a kind of "At this time, Wu Xiang has been taken by the Shun army to the edge of the Shihe River, and shouted to Wu Sangui across the river: "Uncle Chang, don't hit the stone with an egg, my Wu family's size, more than 30 lives, all in your thoughts."
Uncle, don't you miss the love of father and son" Wu Sangui stayed in tears on the other side of the Shihe River.After a long time, he wiped away his tears and said loudly: "My father's surrender to the thief is disloyal to the king, and loyalty to the king is greater than filial piety since ancient times.The father is not loyal to the first emperor, not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, Hugh blames his son for not being filial piety, now the son has made up his mind, swore to kill the thief, avenged the first emperor, his father is good for himself, under the nine springs, the son should be filial piety for his father" Wu Xiang heard that Wu Sangui had no idea of surrendering, and couldn't help crying in despair.This son had been fighting with him since he was young, and he knew it best.The son belongs to the kind of speculative drill camp, who only takes advantage of the advantage and does not suffer losses.Allegiance to Daming, that's complete.He must have a better way out, and he will be determined to fight, even disregarding his father's life.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be extremely sad, and I couldn't stop crying anymore.Li Zicheng was upset to make Wu Xiang cry, knowing that he could no longer persuade Wu Sangui to turn back, he ordered Wu Xiang to be pulled back, and the whole army began to attack.At the rear of the military formation, the war drums that were more than one person high on all sides sounded "dong dong", and the sound was terrifying.On the north mountain, more than 100 soldiers blew the horn, and the sound of "woo" resounded throughout the battlefield.Li Zicheng's left army general Hao Yongzhong took the lead, along the foot of the North Mountain, the first to cross the Shihe River, rushed to the northern wing of the city.Behind him, the soldiers were overwhelming, carrying ladders, pushing the crashing carts, shouting and charging.Looking at the side of Xiluo City, the Shun army was densely packed, lined up in battle formations, and moved towards the city gate by stepping on the river.On the other side of the Shihe River, Hu Shouliang, a general of the Ming army, led 10,000 soldiers to defend the barrier, and when he saw the Shun army approaching, he loudly ordered to open fire.The Ming army raised the bird gun in his hand and cast it at the Shun army.The sound of "crackling" was incessant, and a cloud of blue smoke came out from behind the barrier.Immediately after, a louder noise came, but it was the Ming artillery that fired.The Shun army threw themselves into the river one after another, and streams of blood came out, and soon the river was dyed red.The mighty general of the right battalion of the Dashun army came to the front line in person and shouted loudly to the soldiers: "Raise the shield, run quickly" The soldiers of Shun raised their shields, braved the bullets flying around, crossed the stone river, and shouted to charge the Ming army fortress, and the sound shook the field.The famous battle of Shanhaiguan, which decided the fate of Dashun, officially kicked off
