328 Dorgon stumbles
The next morning, the battle continued.
More than 200,000 troops fought to the death, and the scene was earth-shaking. The shouts of killing inside and outside Shanhaiguan were yelling and tsunami, rushing straight into the sky.
At this time, there was still no sign of the elite Jiannu Eight Banners on the battlefield, and Wu Sangui seemed to be still fighting alone.
Li Zicheng ordered more than 100,000 infantry to swarm and launch a fierce attack, Wu Sangui still had no choice but to lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry out of Guancheng to fight with Dongluo City, Xiluo City and Nanyi City, trying to protect the fortresses everywhere.
The battlefield situation was still one-sided. The Guanning Army seemed to be unable to resist the fierce attack of the Dashun Army, especially Weiyuan City, which was in danger, and Wu Sangui was unable to save it.
What's going on?
In fact, the Eight Banners elites have arrived.
There are tens of thousands of elite infantrymen hidden in Dongluo City, Xiluo City and South Wing City. There are tens of thousands of elite infantrymen and 40,000 elite cavalry hidden in Shanhaiguan City. There are also 80,000 Han Eight Banners Army near the North Wing City. There are also 80,000 Han Eight Banners Army ready to attack at any time.
However, they just hide everywhere without moving, allowing the Guanning Army and Dashun Army to fight to the death!
Why is this?
The reason is very simple, because Dorgon felt that it was not time to attack.
Looking at the wars of Jiannu's rise, they can be described as being like God's help.
For example, in the Battle of Sarhu, Jiannu had a maximum of 50,000 troops, while the Ming army had more than 200,000 troops. Moreover, the Ming army participated in the battle was almost all elite troops in a hundred battles. It is no exaggeration to say that the Ming army could win even if they were fighting with their eyes closed.
However, for personal grudges, the head coach of the Ming army, Yang Hao, inexplicably divided the troops into four groups, and sent the bravest and most warlike Liu Ting into their encirclement, allowing them to beat them to death.
As a result, they won like God’s help!
For example, in the Battle of Shenyang, when Xiong Tingbi was in charge of Liaodong, Nurhaci almost vomited blood, and there was no way out.
However, the Ming Dynasty court was like a mental illness and inexplicably dismantled Xiong Tingbi. Then, the two generals in Shenyang City ran out of the city inexplicably and died as if they had taken the wrong medicine!
As a result, they won again like God’s help!
For example, when Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan were at Guanning Jin Defense Line, neither Nurhaci nor Huang Taiji could do anything, and they would get beaten up when they went up, and Nurhaci even died because of this.
However, the Ming Dynasty court was like crazy to deal with Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan. Sun Chengzong was dismissed three times, and Yuan Chonghuan was even executed by Lingchi!
As a result, when they replaced Hong Chengchou, they not only handed over the Guan Ningjin defense line, but also offered more than 100,000 elite troops of the Ming border army, and they won like a god's help!
Perhaps, at this time, Dorgon was waiting for that moment like gods.
In history, he did wait. When Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui were exhausted, he suddenly led his army out and almost wiped out the elite troops under Li Zicheng. Then, Li Zicheng was defeated and did not organize any decent resistance until his final destructive destruction.
I have to say that these things are very evil, and Jiannu is really like a god's help, and has won inexplicably all the battles easily.
Fortunately, there was a more evil Crazy King Zhu Qiji at this time. Li Zicheng had the help of Crazy King Zhu Qijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijiji
So, what was Li Zicheng thinking at this time?
Li Zicheng was naturally guarding against Jiannu. Li Yan said that he understood so clearly. If he was not careful, it would be a problem with his brain.
In order to prevent Jiannu from launching a sneak attack, he kept his most elite 50,000 cavalrymen in his hands and never attacked.
However, something disrupted his deployment.
Because there were too few Guanning troops guarding in Weiyuan City, they could not withstand the 50,000 border guards and guards in turn. Within two hours of war, Bai Guangen, Tang Tong, Jiang Guan and Wang Chengyin led their troops to capture Weiyuan City!
A burst of cheers came, and Li Zicheng finally couldn't hold back.
If Weiyuan City is taken, Bai Guangen, Tang Tong, Jiang Guan and Wang Chengyin can lead their troops to attack Beiyi City and cut off the support of Jiannu. Wu Sangui will be defeated if he is isolated and helpless!
He immediately ordered the high-yield elite cavalry to attack with 40,000 power, and entangled the Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Wu Sangui, so that Liu Zongmin could attack Dongluo City, Xiluo City and Beiyi City with all his strength.
"Room" and a sound of horse hooves rolling like thunder sounded, and forty thousand elite cavalry rushed into the battlefield like a torrent.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui's face changed color.
At this moment, the Guanning Iron Cavalry under his command had suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Moreover, after fighting for more than a day, everyone was exhausted. Although the cavalry of the Dashun Army was not very good, they were full of energy!
How can I fight this?
He couldn't help but look back at the city gate tower of Guancheng.
At this time, Dorgon, Hong Chengchou and others were standing on the gate of Guancheng and watching all this.
Dorgon still looked indifferent, allowing Guanning Army and Dashun Army to sacrifice their lives to fight without any reaction. It was as if the soldiers of Guanning Army and Dashun Army were not like humans, and no matter how many deaths were, he wouldn't care.
Hong Chengchou wanted to say something to Wu Sangui, but he swallowed it several times because he was a traitor and he could no longer tolerate the Ming Dynasty. If he angered the regent of Mi Qing for Wu Sangui, he would be finished!
The battle continued. Wu Sangui led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to rush left and right but could not escape the encirclement of the Dashun Army's cavalry. The Guanning Army soldiers continued to fall. Dongluo City, Xiluo City and Beiyi City gradually could not withstand it after the support of the Guanning Iron Cavalry. Even the Dashun Army's infantry had already rushed to the city wall. Seeing Dongluo City, Xiluo City and Beiyi City were about to be defended.
At this time, Dorgon finally raised his hand and said, "Turn the order that the infantry in Dongluo City, Xiluo City and North Wing City all go to the city wall to drive the Dashun Army down."
He had to give orders because the infantry of the Dashun Army rushed to the city wall. As long as he stretched his head and looked into the city, he could see the Eight Banners infantry hidden below.
Immediately afterwards, he said to the Ying County Prince Ajige and Yu County Prince Duoduo behind him: "Ajige, Duoduo, you two will lead 20,000 elite cavalry to rush out, and cover the two wings, so don't let the Dashun army run away."
Ajige and Dodo took the order and left, and the south gate of Shanhaiguanguan City slowly opened.
At this moment, a cavalryman rushed towards Weiyuan City and galloped to Li Zicheng. Before the cavalry was dismounted, he bowed and shouted: "Master, it's not good. The vanguard camp was ambushed by Jiannu on a stone, with heavy casualties and already defeated."
Jiannu is actually here!
Li Zicheng turned his head and saw that the infantry who had just rushed up the city wall on Dongluo City, Xiluo City, and Nanyi City were inexplicably lifted down, and the south gate of Shanhaiguan City was also inexplicably opened.
Not good, I've been trapped.
He quickly raised his hand and shouted, "Hurry up, let the army go!"
"Bangbangbangbangbangbangbang", a sound of gongs sounded, and the Dashun army immediately retreated like a tide. At this time, 40,000 Jiannu cavalry had already poured out from the south gate of Shanhaiguan Pass.
Seeing this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Jiannu, is he really so ugly!
Fortunately, the city gate is so wide, and it takes time for 40,000 Jiannu cavalry to come out. When they come out to set up the formation, the infantry and cavalry of the Dashun Army had already retreated.
Very dangerous!
If Li Yan hadn't reminded him that he had been mentally prepared for a long time, and he would have decisively called out the gold and withdraw his troops when he saw that the situation was not right. The elite troops of the Dashun Army would have explained them all here!
You guys, old men, wait for me.
Li Zicheng looked at the Jiannu cavalry with a complete lineup, and then ordered without hesitation: "Release the caltrops and withdraw!"
The commander flag waved back, and the infantry and cavalry who had just come down from the battlefield suddenly retreated south like a tide, and lined up in a row. Ten thousand cavalrymen who were not moving behind quietly opened the bags containing caltrops behind the horses, and then turned the horse's head and ran back. Ten thousand caltrops fell silently into the rising dust.
Who can't do it in the dark?
Want to run?
Dorgon ran down from the city gate tower, turned over his war horse, ran out of the city, waved his hand and shouted: "Catch me!"
"Room" and another sound of horse hooves rolling like thunder, and 40,000 Jiannu cavalry followed him and chased south quickly.
He thought that with the speed of his cavalry, the Dashun Army would definitely not be able to escape, at least one of the 100,000 infantry could not escape.
Unexpectedly, he had just led his army to chase the place where Li Zicheng was standing, and the horse under his crotch suddenly fell off his front hooves and fell to the ground.
He quickly rolled several times before slowing down his rush, then reached out to support the ground, ready to jump up.
Ouch!
A sharp pain came from his palm, and his entire right hand was pierced!
At this time, the cavalry behind him had fallen off the horse's back like dumplings, falling all over the ground.
Fortunately, most of them were wearing armor and were not injured.
However, the war horses under their crotch were in terrible, at least a few thousand were wasted.
Kaltrops!
Dorgon pulled out the thing from his right hand and looked at it, his face turned pale with anger.
Li Zicheng, you old slut!
