Chapter 576 Shanhaiguan(1/2)
Wu Sangui's mood is darker than Dorgon's!
He surrendered to the Manchus, but after the Battle of Yishi, Dorgon clearly showed his distrust of himself. Why did he send himself to rescue Shengjing? Did Dorgon really think he was a fool?
However, besides following the Manchus wholeheartedly, is there anything else I can do now?
All of his subordinates were also in panic. Leaving Shanhaiguan and going to Shengjing? Why? What else can people like them do after leaving here?
But Wu Sangui had no choice. If he followed the orders of the Manchus, he would become a lost dog. If he did not follow the orders of the Manchus, would Dorgon let him go?
If we had known today, why did we do it in the first place?
Guan Ning's army left Shanhaiguan, but they did not go far. They met Beilenikan and Beizi Tunqi who were the first to rush to rescue Shengjing. Both of them looked pale, and no one knew what had happened.
As soon as he saw Wu Sangui and his Guan Ning Army, Nikan asked about their purpose. He heard that they were going to rescue Shanhaiguan. He suddenly sighed longly: "There is no need to rescue them. Let's go back."
Wu Sangui was shocked, as if he vaguely knew what was going on...
...
"King Auxiliary, it's over, it's over!" When he returned to Shanhaiguan and saw Dorgon, Nikan burst into tears: "Shengjing, our Shengjing is over!"
There was a "boom", like thunder exploding above his head. Dorgon stood up suddenly and grabbed Nikan: "What? What did you say?"
"Shengjing, it's over!" Nikan's tears flowed down: "The Ming army defeated Shengjing. Many people died. The emperor and the two empress dowagers were all captured by the Ming army!
"
Dorgon swayed and stood there blankly. After a while, he opened his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of blood. Then he swayed and fell heavily to the ground...
"Auxiliary King, Assistant King!" Countless Manchu generals rushed forward...
When Dorgon opened his eyes and woke up leisurely, he looked at the stunned generals beside him. He said with trembling lips: "No, no, how could Shengjing be breached..."
"It's true, King Auxiliary." Nikan wiped his tears and said, "We were only halfway there when we saw people running out of Shengjing. The Ming army's artillery fire was so fierce that it broke through Shengjing in half a day.
Then the Ming army entered the city in large numbers, but the inner city could not be defended!"
Dorgon stood up tremblingly, facing the direction of Shengjing and knelt down on the ground with a plop. The Manchu and Han generals also quickly knelt down behind him...
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I am incompetent!" Dorgon couldn't help but shed tears: "I am ashamed of my late emperor and my ancestors of the Qing Dynasty! I failed to protect the Qing Dynasty.
A capital crime!"
"I and others are guilty of death!"
Weeping and kowtowing, these Manchu people seemed to have died as if their own mothers and fathers had died... After making a fuss for a long time, Dorgon stood up with the help of others.
What should I do, what should I do now? Shengjing has been broken, what should I do now?
At this time, Dorgon was also confused...
The Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty!
"King Auxiliary, let's fight back to Shengjing!" Duduo shouted: "While the Ming army has just captured Shengjing, let's fight back to Shengjing and rescue the emperor!"
Dorgon smiled bitterly: "Kill back? How to fight back? As soon as we leave here, the Ming army will be able to seize Shanhaiguan, and then they will form a double-team on us, and we will die without a place to die!"
Wu Sangui opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he still couldn't say it...
He originally wanted to say that he would defend Shanhaiguan by himself. But he also knew that the Manchus would never trust him and would never leave him alone in Shanhaiguan.
Sometimes being a traitor is so embarrassing and frustrating...
The Manchus looked at each other. At this time, they were completely in disarray. Their homes were gone. What else could they do?
The enemy is outside the pass, and the Ming troops in Shengjing may attack the pass at any time and at any time. With the current strength in Shanhaiguan, is it possible for them to continue to persevere?
Dorgon is also thinking about this issue...
It must be admitted that now we have reached a very serious moment. Once Shengjing is defeated, although there are still troops in the places controlled by the Qing Dynasty, they are unable to provide support to Shanhaiguan. Now the only hope for the Qing Dynasty is itself and
These troops are gone!
How to turn the tide? Dorgon was confused...
"King Auxiliary, another Ming army has arrived at Shanhaiguan!"
The bad news reached Dorgon's ears again. He listened silently and nodded silently, but no one knew what he meant by nodding.
"Stick to Shanhaiguan!" Dorgon finally made his decision: "The city wall of Shanhaiguan is strong and it is a natural danger! Besides, there is enough food and grass here to hold on. Nikan, Tunqi!"
"exist!"
"I will give you another 10,000 troops. You can prepare to attack Shengjing and attract the Ming army from Shengjing so that they will not dare to act rashly and wait for an opportunity to launch an attack!"
"yes!"
"Wu Sangui!"
"exist!"
"You lead all the Guan Ning troops to camp outside the city. I heard that the Huben Guards' artillery is extremely sharp. Once they use the artillery, they will attack them desperately!"
"Yes!" Wu Sangui responded gloomily.
Let yourself be stationed outside Shanhaiguan? Then your Guan Ning Army will be the first to face the artillery attack. Doesn't this mean that you are going to die? But what can you say now?
Dorgon's cold eyes fell on Wu Sangui: "King Pingxi, given Ding Yunyi's character, you have no way out."
He was warning Wu Sangui that there was no way he could go to the Ming army again, and that the Ming Dynasty would no longer accept him as a traitor...
Dorgon finished ordering these things one by one. Then he cheered up and said, "Everyone, although Shengjing has been destroyed, the Qing Dynasty has not yet perished. As long as I, Dorgon, are outside the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty will definitely not be destroyed!"
The Ming Dynasty’s Beijing was also broken, but they produced a warrior king named Ding Yunyi. Is it possible that Prince Rui of the Qing Dynasty can’t compare to the warrior king of the Ming Dynasty?”
"We are all willing to follow the Auxiliary King and fight to the end!"
Dorgon waved his hand and asked everyone to prepare, leaving Duduo alone. He was silent there for a long time. Then he opened his mouth and said: "Old Fifteen, the situation is very critical."
Duduo nodded: "Brother Fourteen, can Shanhaiguan really be defended?"
Even people like Duduo were shaken, which was completely unthinkable before. Dorgon pursed his lips and said: "If you can hold it, you have to hold it, and if you can't, you have to hold it. We are the last ones in the Qing Dynasty."
I hope so! Old Fifteen, if necessary, join me in fighting to the death for the Qing Dynasty."
"Brother Fourteen, don't worry!" Duduo raised his voice: "As long as I, Duduo, are here, those Ming Dynasty people who want to seize Shanhaiguan will have to step over my body!"
I am still relieved about Duduo Dorgon: "But you must monitor the Guan Ning Army who wants Wu Sangui. This army is still very effective. Remember, they are used to consume the Ming Army. If they are defeated, you know what to do.
?"
Duduo was stunned for a moment, then Dorgon helped him and said: "Don't let a Guan Ning army enter Shanhaiguan!"
Duduo immediately understood what he meant. Dorgon wanted Guan Ningjun to die soon, and they must all die outside Shanhaiguan.
The Manchus never cared about the lives of these surrendered generals.
Wu Sangui was betrayed. When he sold Shanhaiguan, he had already been betrayed. His fate had been sealed by the Manchus at this moment.
But he couldn't blame anyone. This path was his own choice...
...
At this time, the generals of the Huben Guards who rushed to the battlefield one after another were also summoned together. This was an order personally issued by King Wu Lie Ding Yunyi.
All the generals knew that King Wuyeol fought hard and almost died on the battlefield. He was injured everywhere now, and the doctor told him many times that he must stay in bed and rest. Why did he summon the generals again at this time?
Did something big happen?
While the generals were speculating, King Wu Lie slowly appeared with Duan Saner's support.
"King Wulie!" The generals all stood up with a roar.
The expression on King Wu Lie's face seemed a little strange today, but no one could tell what it was.
"Everyone, sit down." Ding Yunyi said and sat down first.
He looked at his subordinates: "In a battle of stone, the Manchus and Guan Ning's army of nearly 200,000 people are unable to do anything to our 20,000 elite troops. I think the Manchus' strength has been exhausted."
He suddenly said such a sentence out of nowhere. No one knew what it meant...
There are still more than 100,000 enemies in Shanhaiguan. How can we say that the Manchus have exhausted their momentum?
While he was guessing, a voice came from outside: "General Li Dingguo has arrived with his army!"
As soon as young Li Dingguo came in, he loudly shouted: "King Wu Lie, the capital city has been recovered!"
"Okay, good Li Dingguo!"
Ding Yunyi laughed and said: "I already know that the capital has been recovered, but our Ming Dynasty cannot be destroyed! The intruders cannot destroy our Ming Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty cannot destroy our Ming Dynasty! Dingguo, you are here just in time, I have great news."
To announce!"
What great news? All the generals held their breath.
Ding Yunyi's eyes swept over the generals one by one, and then slowly said word by word: "Shengjing has been captured by me!"
Although it was just a simple statement, everyone was stunned. They almost suspected that they heard it wrong!
Shengjing has been captured? How is this possible? Li Dingguo led his army to storm the capital, and King Wu Lie was bloody. Where did the troops come from to capture Shengjing?
Ding Yunyi said with a smile on his lips: "We, the navy and the army, jointly landed in Dandong and conquered Shengjing in one fell swoop. We warmly welcomed the Manchu pseudo-emperor Fulin, the pseudo-empress Dowager Bumubutai, Zhezhe, and the pseudo-Prince Zheng Jier.
Harang and others...Shengjing, it’s over!”
To be continued...
