Chapter 940 Tongzhou Encounter
As the horns sounded together, the generals of the Wei army launched an imposing attack on the Qing army.

Relying on Guancheng and not wanting to be tenants of the Wei State, the Qing army could still resist, but once the city wall was lost, its momentum immediately plummeted.

Although the fine work of the Ming Dynasty gave good conditions, but the conditions are good, you have to be lucky to get it.

Seeing that the situation is not good, being a tenant is always better than dying. After Li Guoying was killed, the Qing army was defeated across the board.

The division crumbled like a mountain, and the Qing army, under the attack of Hu Dawei and Liu Tichun, could no longer hold on and fled one after another. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses formed a disorderly mess and fled across the mountains.

The infantry of the Wei army harvested the Qing army, and the soldiers of the Qing army who were blocked behind the wall surrendered in pieces.

Hu Dawei didn't love to fight, and handed over the defeated Qing army to the infantry. The Ma army only rammed the Qing army blocking in front of him, and left in the direction of Beijing.

The [-] cavalry of the Wei army, like a torrent, rushed the Qing army to pieces. As soon as Liu Tichun and the cavalry left, they immediately tightened the encirclement, cleared the battlefield, and strangled the still resisting Qing army.

At this time, in the western suburbs of Beijing, Liu Zeqing galloped with nearly a hundred subordinates on horseback, preparing to rush to Juyongguan to supervise the battle.

The Qing army there, besides Zuozhen, was his deployment back then.

He was originally one of the four towns of Nanming. When the Qing army went south a few years ago, he joined the Qing army in Huai'an City.

He originally thought that the Qing army could cross the Yangtze River in one go, but he was blocked by Nanjing when he didn't want to. He was not from Liaozhen, but from Shandong.

This state made him not loyal to the Qing court. If the historical trajectory evolves, he will be involved in the Taoist Wang anti-Qing case and his family will be killed shortly after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty because he secretly assisted the Shandong Anti-Qing Rebel Army.

At this time, with the decline of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, he had already contacted Wei Guo and Nanming. However, in comparison, the conditions offered by Nanming were much more generous than Wei Guo, so he chose Nanming.

Wei Jun now has the upper hand, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are already on the board, so naturally they will not give any good conditions.

If these voters can easily obtain high-ranking officials and generous salaries in the Wei State, what will the Wei army soldiers who are fighting desperately think?The soldiers desperately killed the enemy, but in the end they were no match for a traitor. Gao Yihuan couldn't explain to his subordinates, and at the same time he didn't want to set up wrong values ​​for the world.

Therefore, Wei Guo can't offer any good conditions right now, it's fine if you don't kill you, unless there are some major contributions, the basic terms are just to guarantee the safety of life and property, and then hire as appropriate.

In order to accept these Qing troops, Nanming accepted all crooked melons and cracked dates, and offered very generous conditions, at least they were hired at their original positions.

There is no other way. Given the current situation, no one would be willing to take risks unless Nanming offered good terms.

At this time, Liu Zeqing galloped wildly with the cavalry behind him. Feng Quan told him that Nanming was willing to make him Marquis of Dongping, which was a level higher than before he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, so he made up his mind to join Nanming.

At this time, the smoke from the report had not yet been extinguished, Liu Zeqing looked at the smoke column, galloped his horse, and wanted to rush to Juyongguan as soon as possible.

There are more than 1 of his old subordinates there. As long as he arrives, with a small profit and closing the wall, he can block the Wei army's attack for ten and a half months and buy time for Ming to take over the place.

"Junmen, look!" During the gallop, a cavalryman suddenly exclaimed.

Liu Zeqing looked up, and suddenly saw yellow dust billowing up in front of him, followed by thunderous hooves.

Feeling the trembling of the ground at this time, Liu Zeqing couldn't help shivering, his expression changed drastically. He was the man who commanded the army all the year round. He just looked up at the smoke and dust and knew that at least [-] to [-] cavalry were galloping over.

In the direction of Juyongguan, the Qing army had no cavalry at all, and Liu Zeqing immediately yelled, "No! It's too late!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled out the rein violently, causing the horse to neigh, and then he ran back to Beijing in a hurry.

In Beijing City, after Dorgon left the city in a panic with more than [-] Eight Banners family members, Feng Quan took over the city in an all-round way.

On the one hand, he sent fast horses to pick up the Ming army, on the other hand, he arranged manpower to restore order in the city, and started to prepare to welcome the Ming army into the city.

At this time, the Ming army hadn't arrived, but Liu Zeqing, who was going to Juyongguan, had already rushed back to Beijing, and hurriedly reported, "Old Feng Ge, the Wei army has broken through the pass!"

Feng Quan was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly led a group of people to stand on the Xizhi Gate, and saw the yellow dust billowing, and [-] Wei soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city.

At this time, Hu Dawei reined in the horse at the foot of the city, looked at the city, saw that the city gate was closed, immediately waved his hand, "Let's go!"

After finishing his speech, he pulled out his horse and circled the city as soon as he clamped his horse's belly. Twenty thousand cavalry of the Wei army, screaming, bypassed Beijing and headed east.

On the top of the wall, Feng Quan's face was ashen, and Liu Zeqing said: "Mr. Ge, it seems that the Wei army is going to intercept the Ming army! Now that the Wei army has broken through, what should we do?"

Ding Qirui harbored malicious intentions, and said with a firm face: "At this point, we can only fight to the death, defend Beijing, and wait for reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty to arrive!"

Feng Quan was silent for a while, and his face gradually regained his composure. He glanced at Ding Qirui in surprise, then looked at the panic-stricken crowd, and suddenly raised his arms and said: "We continue to prepare for the welcome ceremony. If the Ming army comes, welcome the Ming army. If the Wei army comes , then accept your fate!"

The people present are not loyal people. If they were loyal to Daming, they would not have voted.

These people have no integrity. After hearing Feng Quan's words, they immediately understood that since the Wei army is heading east, it will inevitably fight the Ming army. Whoever wins at that time will enter Beijing. They have prepared the ceremony and welcome whoever comes!
"This method is safe!" Although Liu Zeqing hoped that Daming would win, if Wei Jun won, he would accept this reality.

"Old man Ge is wise!" The others also breathed a sigh of relief.

~~~

To the east of Beijing, on the edge of the canal near Tongzhou, six thousand soldiers of the Ming army ran forward, and several medium-sized warships in the canal rowed with their sails raised.

Gao Yizhen rode on the horse, looked at the running soldiers, and urged loudly, "Hurry up! We will rest after entering Beijing."

At this time, the Ming army had already received the news that the Wei army was attacking Juyongguan, and the Ming army must enter Beijing as soon as possible.

Beijing is the old capital of the Ming Dynasty, with great political significance. Back then, Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an, but after taking Beijing, he held another enthronement ceremony in Beijing. It seemed that if he didn't do it, he would not be the real emperor.

If the Ming army entered Beijing, it would be equivalent to restoring the old capital of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to greatly boosting the morale of the Ming army, it would also make the northern gentry and remnants of the Qing army scramble to take refuge first, thus allowing the Ming Dynasty to quickly take over the north.

At this time, the army was moving forward, and when it was about to reach Tongzhou, the scouts suddenly flew over, "Report!"

Gao Yizhen pulled the horse aside, reined in the reins, and the scouts galloped up to him, panting, and reported, "General, ten miles ahead, a large number of Wei army horses are galloping."

"How many soldiers and horses are there?" Gao Yizhen was shocked when Wei Jun broke through. He frowned, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"The low-ranking class encountered the scouts of the enemy cavalry and killed them for a while. They were not opponents. They just took a look from a distance and saw the smoke and dust billowing in the west. There must be at least ten thousand people." The scouts said anxiously.

Hearing the words, Gao Yikang controlled the restless war horse, pulled out the reins immediately, and shouted, "Quickly, line up on the spot and prepare to meet the enemy!"
