Prince Dorgon of He Shuorui of the Qing Dynasty, when he heard that the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty were coming, he acted decisively and attacked the Make army formation in Shanhai Town with all his strength.

Or even though it was not stated clearly, the intention has been made clear, that is to overwhelm Ma Ke's troops, make the soldiers in the battalion flee, and then drive them to attack the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty behind.

Everything went very smoothly just like Dorgon's plan. Shanhai Town collapsed first, and then attacked Bai Guangen's Department in Ji Town. Just when Dorgon was deeply satisfied, the army was blocked about three miles east of Xishimen.

Here the Tatars were blocked by the soldiers and horses of the Ningyuan Town of the Ming Dynasty. The two sides fought several rounds. Although the Tartars had many soldiers and horses, they could not break through the defense line of the Ningyuan Army for a while.

It turned out that Wu Sangui's fine cavalry marched forward, together with infantry marched in formation, and finally dispersed the rout troops in Shanhai Town and Ji Town, causing them to flee to the north and south respectively.

Even those fierce routs did not dare to attack the branch of the Ningyuan soldiers and horse formations head-on. They obediently ran towards the east from the gaps between the formations under the supervision of the cavalry of Ningyuan Town.

Even Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Ji Town, did not dare to show his face after seeing the deeds and power of Ningyuan's soldiers and horses. Instead, he quietly led his subordinates to follow him, and went south with the rout soldiers, and fled eastward along the foot of Shimen Mountain. .

…………

Faced with the powerful artillery fire of the Ningyuan army and the more organized army formation, everyone in the Qing Dynasty was quite surprised. They never thought that they would encounter resistance here after breaking down several Ming army camps one after another.

But the leader of the army was neither Mengxin with no combat experience nor a reckless person. Dorgon and the others were not in a hurry to make a decision, but led some of their relatives and rode their horses to a high ground.

Standing on his horse, Dorgon slowly put down his binoculars and said to Prince Zheng Jierhalang next to him, looking at the Ningyuan army on the opposite side for a long time, "Prince Zheng, this Wu Sangui fruit is not easy. Even under the siege of tens of thousands of my warriors, there is still no chaos, it is indeed not easy."

Prince Zheng Jierhalang stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The Khan ordered us to wait here to intercept and kill the southern army. Now our warriors have defeated three camps of the southern army one after another. Tens of thousands of troops have been defeated. Bing general, but the purpose of this trip has also been achieved."

He looked at Dorgon, and asked with a harmonious smile: "In my opinion, Wu Sangui's defense is very strict, and it must be broken in a short while, why not just retreat.

Thinking that the southern army suffered such a blow today, there will be no power left to stop my plan in the future, and we just need to watch from the side.Prince Rui, what do you think? "

"Cough cough cough..."

Dorgon has been working hard for the Qing army. Just the day before yesterday, he occasionally caught a cold and coughed uncontrollably. He coughed several times before he eased up a little. Most of the warriors who killed were infantry, while most of the cavalry fled first, and their strength was not damaged much, so they may not be incapable of fighting."

As he spoke, he raised his whip again, pointed at Wu Sangui's army about two miles away, and said: "Wu Sangui on the opposite side is the nephew of Jinzhou Zu Dashou, and he is quite capable among the generals in Liaodong. He is actually the younger generation of generals in Liaodong. main character in .

If our warriors of the Qing Dynasty can defeat it today, it will definitely deal a huge blow to the morale of the southern army, and it will also make it unable to rescue the crisis elsewhere. "

Dorobel Dudu interjected at this time: "Prince Rui's words are very true. However, seeing that Wu Sangui's army has several miles of battalions, the lineup is well-organized, and the morale of the army is very good. Our Qing warriors have been attacking for a long time, and they are also vain. Increased fatigue, no signs of collapse of the Southern Army."

Dorgon caressed the mouse whiskers, smiled and said nothing, the forehead of Zhengbai Banner Gushan beside him was really Bilu Zhumala, but he said: "The only ones capable of fighting in Liaodong are Zu Dashou and this Wu Sangui boy.

Although the Southern Army of Jinzu Dashou Department was brave, they also shrank in Jinzhou City and could not come out. Now this Wu Sangui boy dares to fight with my warriors in the wild, wouldn't it be in my arms. "

"Hahaha……"

Zhumala laughed again and said: "Although Wu Sangui's southern army is stronger than other troops, it has attacked all the way from Shimen Pass, and the soldiers and horses are all exhausted. Although they are trying their best to support them now, they only want to survive. surviving.

Our army is several times larger than that of the southern army. If we attack with all our strength, we will see that there is no hope of survival and we will be defeated. At that time, our army will have all the best cavalry and chase them all the way. Wouldn't it wipe out a strong enemy for us? "

Du Du seemed dissatisfied, he said eagerly: "Since the southern army has captured Shimen Mountain and the East and West Shimen, the reinforcements will arrive immediately. If we attack Wu Sangui with all our strength, how can we respond once the southern army reinforcements arrive?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Dorgon said with a grinning face: "The Southern Army is tired, now we can give it a try, even if we can't break the Southern Army's camp, it will be fine.

As for the reinforcements from the Southern Army, even if they come, they will go to the front of the battle to rescue Wu Sangui from danger. If we fight in the wild, even if our Qing warriors cannot win, they will not suffer a loss if they think about it. "

His smiling face turned to Jierhalang and asked, "What does Prince Zheng think?"

Although Jierhalang was ordered to assist Dorgon, he also intended to monitor from the sidelines, but the military decision-making is naturally still dominated by the commander-in-chief of the whole army, Dorgon, as long as it is not an obviously wrong decision, he will naturally not object.

This point is much better than the military supervision mechanism of the Ming Dynasty army, and all the supervising troops of the Ming Dynasty, all of them have the constitution in their mouths, pass on the destiny from generation to generation, not to mention being arrogant, but at the time of the battle, all of them It is above the commander-in-chief of the army, directing blindly.

Think about how many battles Daming lost, all because of the great contributions made by these villains!
At this moment, Prince Zheng Jierhalang said: "Prince Rui is the commander-in-chief of the entire army, a person His Majesty trusts, but if there is a decision, this king will follow orders."

Dorgon's expression remained unchanged, but his smile froze for a moment, and he said in a stern tone: "Zhumala, you go to the front and let me watch over you, if those in the banner don't work hard, you can deal with it as you please. "

He turned his head and said again: "Du Du, you lead your troops to the north entrance of Xishimen Mountain Road, and stand outside the entrance to block the reinforcements from the Southern Dynasties."

…………

Besides, on Wu Sangui's side, I don't know how many rout soldiers and civilian husbands were killed, even if there were some generals among them, they could no longer be identified, and they were all treated as rout soldiers.

Of course, only a few were killed on the spot. After all, most of them were driven to the north and south sides, and some were disarmed by Ningyuan soldiers, and they were detained separately in the camp.

Generally speaking, the Ningyuan army blocked and killed far less soldiers and civilians than the Tazi soldiers killed when they pursued them.

Even so, Wu Sangui is really ruthless. Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhai Town, walked around the soldiers and horses of Ningyuan Town since he was rejected in front of the Ji Town camp, for fear of being turned away again, which would affect his position in the army. prestige.

Ma Ke can think this way, one is that he is really smart and scheming, and the other is that he only came to this understanding after being rejected by Bai Guangen.

But Bai Guangen didn't have such insights, he thought he was older than Wu Sangui, and now he marched into Shimen Mountain together, so when he saw the Ningyuan army's banner from a distance, he hurried away.

But the ending disappointed him greatly. Wu Sangui didn't give Bai Guangen any face. No matter how he signed up for himself, Wu Sangui would not go out to meet him.

In the end, Bai Guangen couldn't bear it any longer, and wanted to go straight into the battle to seek Wu Sangui's defense, but was repelled by a burst of gunfire, and the horse under Bai Guangen's crotch was also frightened by this, kicked up and threw him to the ground.

With the help of his servant, he got up, patted the dust off his body, got back on the horse, and cursed angrily: "Bah! Wu Sangui, son of a bitch, you wait for me, sooner or later you will be too hungry to walk around."

He raised the rein and urged the horse to gallop a few steps away, then turned around and cursed: "Let's wait and see how I will deal with you."

At this moment, he has completely forgotten how he treated Ma Ke, and he has completely forgotten his identity as a defeated general, and he only wants to scold him to relieve his hatred!

It was precisely because of the delay here that Bai Guangen delayed his opportunity to gather the routs. By the time he remembered this, most of the young and strong routs had been recruited by Shanhaiguan General Soldier Ma Ke.

All the rest were old and weak, or civilians with no combat experience. For this reason, he went to look for the bad luck of the generals of Shanhai Town, but he didn't expect to be defeated again.

It turned out that Ma Ke had been riding for a while, but suddenly stopped. He called his general Ma Zhiren, and said: "You stay, and I will leave two hundred more for you. I still don't feel relieved without you here.

Zhiyong, if that guy Bai Guangen comes to make trouble for you, you don't need to be afraid of him, you can lead the army and wait for him. If that guy dares to come hard, let's wait for work with ease, just fuck his mother. "

Ma Zhiyong only recognizes Ma Ke in the army. Although he is also a member of the Ma clan, it is not all for this reason.

In addition to his clan status, Ma Ke is also Ma Zhiyong's savior, thinking that when Ma Zhiyong was a young man, he was a chivalrous man who committed a life-threatening lawsuit, and Ma Ke was the one who defended him in the first place to escape his life.

After that, he stayed in Ma Ke's army. In order to repay his uncle's life-saving grace, he had to go up to the top of every battle these years, and because of this, he was more and more appreciated by Ma Ke, and he was introduced as a general and promoted along the way.

Ma Zhiyong also became more grateful to Ma Ke because of this. In the army, Ma Ke was the only one who obeyed, and he could no longer tolerate the second person in his eyes.

Therefore, Ma Ke thought at this moment that Bai Guangen might come later to gather the rout. At that time, if he took the first step, he would be furious, and it would be difficult for Han Shichen and Cheng Ruheng to deal with it.

That's why Ma Zhiyong was left here, and the general manager gathered the defeated soldiers. Only in this way, he could really feel at ease, not afraid that Bai Guangen would steal the soldiers and horses he had painstakingly gathered.

It was also Ma Ke who was very thoughtful. Fortunately, he kept Ma Zhiyong. Otherwise, the rout soldiers he worked so hard to gather would probably be snatched away by Bai Guangen.

Since then, the Liangzi that Ma Ke and Bai Guangen only saw became deeper and deeper until they couldn't reconcile.

And Wu Sangui is also in a bad mood at the moment. Just as Qing Guozhengbai Banner Gushan Erzhenbi Luzhu Mala said, the soldiers and horses of Ningyuan Town had just attacked the Qing army's position in Shimen Mountain, and before they were repaired, they were ordered to go down the mountain immediately to capture their daughter Heshang pontoon.

Wu Sangui is worthy of being a rising star in western Liaoning. As soon as he stepped into Shimen Mountain, he was keenly aware of something unusual. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to march, but instead arranged for all the battalions under his command to defend themselves in order to allow the soldiers to take in dry food and relieve some fatigue. .

It was his decision that saved the tens of thousands of elite troops in Ningyuan Town.

Of course, Chen Jiugao, the former battalion commander of the Shenji Battalion, also contributed a lot to this. Although he has been in command all the time, he has never been to the front line of the battle, but after all he has to climb up and down Shimen Mountain. How can he not be tired if he is pampered .

So I kept talking to Wu Sangui, how could the army be so exhausted, how could they go to battle? If they suddenly encountered a strong enemy, wouldn't it be the same as sending a piece of fat to the mouth of a wolf?

Such a truth, how could Wu Sangui not know, he naturally descended the donkey, made the battalions stand in formation, and rested in batches, while he and Chen Jiugao went to a high ground in person to observe the surrounding situation, so as to stop.

But not long after, he saw rout soldiers running towards his own camp, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright, what Wu Sangui was afraid of was not the crowds of rout soldiers and civilians, but was surprised at how the Ming army over there was so fast. Crash so far.

As far as he knew, Ma Ke had just left Rufeng Mountain at this time, and it was reported that Bai Guangen's troops had captured Xishimen, so it stands to reason that they should form an formation outside Xishimen at this time.

However, the facts were so, they couldn't allow them to think too much, Wu Sangui, Chen Jiugao and others immediately returned to the camp, he made a decisive decision, in addition to ordering his uncle Zu Dale to monitor the inside and outside of the camp, he even sent out a group of elite cavalry.

Its purpose is obvious, that is to prevent the rout from attacking his own army no matter what, and he will spare no effort for this.

It is precisely because of Wu Sangui's ruthless determination that the army formation of Ningyuan soldiers and horses was not collided by the defeated soldiers and civilians, and it was able to hold on until now in the subsequent battle with the Tartars and cavalry.

Looking at the sky, it was gradually dusk. Wu Sangui judged that the Tatars should not have any more large-scale attacks. He looked at the direction of Shimen Mountain in the south with a little ease, and thought to himself: "Reinforcement, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the Tatar cavalry from the west advancing in a whole group again. From a distance, they were densely stacked, and layers of captive cavalry were advancing in a staggered manner. Even Wu Sangui was shocked.

He knew that the Tartars were going to attack with all their strength for the last round, so he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted an order: "Order the whole army to stand in line, all artillery and firecrackers are not allowed to fire without orders, and those who disobey the orders will be executed!"

As soon as Wu Sangui finished speaking, he saw groups of Qing cavalry galloping away, and then there were bursts of shouting orders from all over the camp, and some Qing cavalry warriors with command flags on their backs rode out of the camp to deliver orders went.

Standing beside Wu Sangui, Chen Jiugao had beads of sweat on his forehead. Although he tried to calm himself down, anyone with a discerning eye could see that his heart was already panicked.

He only heard him whispering to Wu Sangui: "Wu Shuai, I... I'm afraid that there is some shortage of medicines in our army. I never thought that today's battle will be so fierce. The cannons are almost gone."

"How to be good...how to be good...how to be good..."

Wu Sangui looked at the flustered Chen Jiugao. Although he didn't want to offend him, if he allowed him to talk nonsense again, he was afraid that it would affect the morale of the army.

"Mr. Chen..."

Wu Sangui's voice was a little louder, with a hint of coldness, and Chen Jiugao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words. This was the first time Wu Sangui spoke to him in this tone.

"Chen Zongbing, as many cannons as there are, just shoot as many as you want, why worry about that?"

Wu Sangui's expression softened a little, but his tone was still a little cold: "Could it be possible that I, Ning Yuan, can squeeze the soldiers into pieces?"
