Chapter 142: Fierce Battle at the Mountain Pass


Jinzhou City has not been able to be attacked for a long time, Huang Taiji is indeed a little anxious, and the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements has been seen by the old opponent Hong Chengchou, the old fox, the Qing Dynasty's national strength is thin, and it can't be consumed for so long, do you say that Huang Taiji can not be in a hurry?

As soon as I got up this morning, there was intelligence: "Li Zicheng led the main force of Dashun with nearly 200,000 elite soldiers to the first pass in the world, and he was going to fight to the death with Wu Sangui, the new general soldier of the Dahua Empire, in Shanhaiguan," this news is an excellent news for Huang Taiji, and his mood suddenly became better, he ignored the fact that his nose was still bleeding, and immediately ordered the last 30,000 Manchu Eight Banners iron cavalry in Shenyang to rush to Beijing, he wanted to bypass Shanhaiguan and sneak attack the empty Beijing city.He wanted to take advantage of the defeat of Dashun and Dahua to pick a barley, and he wanted to enter the Beijing Imperial Palace.Huang Taiji's movements have long been carefully observed by the ubiquitous "underground party" of the Dahua Empire, and the secret radio station promptly sent the time, place, number of people, and direction of Huang Taiji's troops to the base camp of the Dahua Empire.The base camp quickly sent the news to me, and I immediately ordered Lu Xiangsheng, the commander-in-chief of the three fields of the empire, to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to be stationed near Julu in Hebei.According to the study of Huang Taiji in his previous life, he would definitely go to Julu, so I ordered Lu Xiangsheng to be stationed here to wait for the 30,000 Eight Banners of Lao Huang Taiji's iron cavalry, and ordered Sun Chuanting, deputy commander-in-chief of Sanye, to lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to approach Lu Xiangsheng, and the soldiers and horses in the two places were quickly assembled.Then he sent the Dahua Imperial Defense Army to transfer 60,000 soldiers and horses, and quickly assembled to Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters, preparing to win more than few, and it was suddenly increased, and he was caught off guard and resolutely eliminated Huang Taiji.

& On the same day, Li Zicheng led the Eastern Expeditionary Force of the Dashun Army to Shanhaiguan.On the same day, the battle to capture Seki Castle began.Two Towns Pass & Officers and soldiers were deployed in the west of Shihe.The Great War to the Morning & Noon In the northwest corner, there were few soldiers, and thousands of soldiers galloped through the formation & In the north of Xiluo City, Fang wanted to enter the city, and the defenders bombarded it with artillery, and sent the general to lead the division to meet and destroy it.At the same time, the Dashun army concentrated its forces to attack the northern flank and the second city of Dongluo, which was a strategically important stronghold of Wu Sangui, because it could be used as a way to retreat.The fighting here is fierce.After 21 days of fierce fighting.The Wu army guarding the northern wing of the city was on the verge of death and was difficult to support.In the early morning of the 22nd & The main forces of the army have begun to disintegrate.Li Zicheng used three soldiers and horses to surround Wu Sangui, Shanhaiguan is land on three sides and sea on the other, Li Zicheng knows that Wu Sangui can't jump into the sea and swim away, and he is not a fish.Just before the battle began, Li Zicheng pushed Chongzhen's son and Wu Xiang in front of the battle and ordered Wu Sangui to surrender.Then he also has to take care of the life of his former master, the son of Chongzhen, right?

Otherwise, it is the infamy of being unkind, unrighteous, disloyal, and unfilial, and the eternal infamy will be confirmed" Li Zicheng sat on the Taishi chair and drank a little wine, he felt very beautiful in his heart, Wu Sangui was a little brat, in front of three times his strength.Wu Sangui still doesn't surrender?

What's more, with his father Wu Xiang in hand, and Chongzhen's son as a hostage, what choice can Wu Sangui have?

While Li Zicheng was happy, he sent two henchmen to the Wu army camp to order Wu Sangui to surrender.But what he never expected was that Wu Sangui ordered all the soldiers and horses to kill one of the envoys in public, cut off the ears of another envoy and put them back, which showed Wu Sangui's determination to resist Li Zicheng.Li Zicheng heard that the returned envoy told the truth.He shouted angrily, and after killing a proton on the spot, he ordered the whole army to conquer Shanhaiguan at all costs, and looking at the battle situation on the first day, it was very obvious that Wu Sangui alone could not resist the Dashun army.Wu Sanhang himself also has such an estimate, the peasant army has besieged Shanhaiguan for only one day and night, and Wu Sangui's army has become a trap beast.

& Day, for the Dahua Army Qingjia Iron Cavalry to participate in the battle.Previously, the regent Wang Jian received a distress report from Wu Sangui near Yutian to Tangshan on April 20, and immediately ordered a double journey to advance and rushed to Shanhaiguan on the night of the 21st.Fifteen miles to the pass, the sun is already dark, and the troops do not enter & Two hundred miles between day and night.Wang Jian Qingjia Iron Cavalry Armor Armor Martial Law, Moving in the Middle of the Night & The sound of Khotan was heard on all sides, and the sound of closing the cannon did not stop in the night.Wang Jian has a high estimate of the combat effectiveness of the Dashun army, and the battle resumes on the 22nd, and the thieves know the strength of the border soldiers, and the success or failure awaits this decisive battle, driving them to the death.Li Zicheng coerced Chongzhen's second and third sons in Miaogang and immediately watched the battle.The thieves are outnumbered, the enemy is attacked on three sides, the Wu soldiers rush from east to west, and the thieves also linger left and right, and the array is dozens of crossings & Open compounding.Wang Jian Tieqi was not strong.Fighting hard until the sun, Wu Sangui was almost not supported, and Wang Jian's soldiers were divided into left and right wings, and they marched forward bravely and waited for work.At noon on the second day of the battle, Wu Sangui's army had been besieged by the Dashun army, and several times wanted to rush out and encircle and reunite.As the general reserve, Wang Jian Tiecai stood still and watched from above.Until both sides are exhausted & Burst out from the right side of the formation.As a result, the Dashun army suffered a great loss, and Li Zicheng was defeated.The two armies fought fiercely in front of the temple in the city for several miles, and the flying pills shot indiscriminately in the city, the cannon sounded like thunder, and the arrows gathered like rain & Jian Tie rode three blows of horns, three shouts, and a temporary conflict with the thief formation.Three rounds of arrows, sword light flashing.It's a day when the wind is blowing & Array of Huang Ai.Li Zicheng stood on the rocks with his horses, and when he saw that his troops and horses had been beaten and retreated, he immediately turned his horse and fled westward.Hong Chengchou gathered 40,000 soldiers and horses just out of Ningyuan City was surrounded by Huang Taiji's Eight Banners, after a fierce battle, Hong Chengchou's soldiers and horses were cut into two sections, one rushed to Shanhaiguan, and the other fled back to Ningyuan City.Hong Chengchou returned to Ningyuan City for a long time and stayed in the city.Huang Taiji encircled Jinzhou for so long, and the food of the people and horses could not be replenished, so he ordered to go to the Central Plains to fight the autumn wind instead of a surprise attack on Beijing City.Huang Taiji led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to gallop towards Hebei.The imperial base camp ordered Wang Jian to take the headquarters of the people and horses to supervise the Liaodong Ningjin defense line, and divided half of the grenades in his hands to Hong Chengchou's four fields, and the regent's Qingjia iron riders still had many grenades, and he was not willing to use them, he was ready to use them to annihilate the main force of the Eight Banners besieging Jinzhou City.Wang Jian led his troops to Ningyuan City and Hong Chengchou changed defenses, and Hong Chengchou led all the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to gallop to aid Wu Sangui.At this time, Wu Sangui led 80,000 soldiers and horses, including 40,000 Guanning iron cavalry in the headquarters, 20,000 soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan Town, and 20,000 Xiangyong around Shanhaiguan, and Li Zicheng brought only 40,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters.Li Zicheng killed Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang to sacrifice the flag, Li Zicheng summoned the township Yong to replenish the troops to reorganize the troops and set up an ambush in Fanjiazhuang, waiting for Wu Sangui's pursuers to enter the trap.Half a day later, Wu Sangui's headquarters soldiers and horses came belatedly, and the brigade stopped in the Liujiahezi area, ten miles away from Fanjiazhuang.Wu Sangui sent a small team to explore the horses close to Fanjiazhuang around, the team leader Pu Yao tried to put a few arrows into the village, waited for a while, did not respond, stood on a high place, found that there was a human head hanging on the banner in the village, the team leader turned the horse back to the headquarters, and told Wu Sangui what he saw.Wu Sangui has always been cautious in doing things, he ordered to camp on the spot, the whole army into a defensive state, the Chinese army buried the pot to cook, after the meal according to the batch of sleep and rest, wake up, drink wine and eat meat, Wu Sangui is in a very good mood.Kuaimalai newspaper: "The thieves and soldiers all evacuated Fanjiazhuang overnight, and the head on the banner of Fanjiazhuang is Lord Wu Xiang" Wu Sangui listened, and his heart was like a cloud, but his face was like a flat lake, the national affairs were big, and his own grievances should be small.Wu Sangui ordered the whole army to rest and prepare for battle, and waited for Hong Chengchou's soldiers and horses to arrive on the spot, and the imperial iron Siye discussed to smash Beijing City and hunt down the thieves.To be continued.
