"Woo ......"

Twilight sinks.

The howling sea breeze mixed with the smell of the wet and salty sea, and the tyrannical passing through the sparse grove above the heads of middle-aged men, the cold is almost suspicious.

In particular, the angry waves under the ice not far away sometimes crash against the shore, making a strange scream that makes people's scalps tingle, and it is very worrying for a while whether this thick ice can resist it.

Zhu Yujiao is guilty of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and she really wants to go back to the boat to rest first.

But next to him, Xu Changqing didn't make the slightest movement, staring at the direction of Shanhaiguan not far away, and his eyelashes didn't blink.

The solemn and solemn momentum made Zhu Yujiao swallow back when she came to her mouth.

Zhu Yujiao understands very well that if she opens her mouth, Xu Changqing will definitely protect her and take care of her first, but if she opens her mouth, it will inevitably appear that she is squeamish, after all, she is the one who pesters Xu Changqing to come over......

Thinking about it, Zhu Yujiao could only grit her silver teeth and continue to hold on, not to disturb Xu Changqing's thoughts.

At this time, it was already in the middle of the day, about eight o'clock in the evening.

Under the majestic Shanhai Pass, although the main force of the Liumin Army and the Guanning Army have withdrawn, the raging fire has not stopped, and according to the current situation, I am afraid that it will have to burn for more than half an hour.

It can also be seen from this how ruthless Wu Sangui is!

And the retreat is the retreat, but neither side is idle.

The Wandering People's Army continued to build fires under many Luo cities, as if to build more offensive fortifications.

Guan Ningjun's side is busy working in the main city, and it is no surprise that Wu Sangui should have to give up some Luocheng.

This is also a big drawback of the bastion.

Before it is breached and the gap is opened, it is indeed a defensive weapon, and it can be easily used in all aspects, but it is generally broken through the gap, and if you want to remedy it, the price will be great.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wu Sangui and Guan Ning's side are too light on the enemy, and the defensive layout outside the city is not enough, which makes the defense system of Shanhaiguan too flat and not three-dimensional.

However, no matter how Wu Sangui does it, the strong first-mover advantage has been lost, and it is no surprise that tomorrow, if the Wandering Army comes out like this again, he will definitely not be able to bear it!

Tomorrow he can only choose to take the initiative!

Take advantage of the strong cavalry advantage of the Guanning Army and fight to the death with the Wandering Army! This will be his only chance!

"Whew."

Thinking about it, Xu Changqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled slightly bitterly.

In the end, we still haven't escaped this terrible historical inertia......

With Wu Sangui's temperament, even if he wants to work hard, he will definitely keep a back hand, and this back hand he can have at this time...... There is only the Great Qing Kingdom!

Xu Changqing couldn't help but look at the huge battle formation of the Wandering People's Army for several miles.

Not far behind them, in the wasteland, is the famous 'One Stone'......

"Hmph, hmph......"

At this time, Xu Changqing suddenly heard the sound of Zhu Yujiao in his arms constantly twitching his nose, and looked at her hurriedly.

Zhu Yujiao's face turned red suddenly, she didn't expect such an ugly appearance to be seen by Xu Changqing, she was obviously very careful, and she barely made a sound, who would have thought that Xu Changqing, who was originally wooden, actually looked at it at this time......

……

Just when Xu Changqing smiled to appease Zhu Yujiao, and the two went back to the temporary camp by the sea to rest hand in hand, the atmosphere in Wu Sangui's station in Shanhaiguan was as depressing as death.

A town magistrate was reporting to Wu Sangui on their casualties today.

So far, they have paid more than 5,000 casualties in the Guanning sequence alone, and at least more than half of them have been killed.

This is mainly because the exile army is too fierce, it is to fight, it is to do, to a large extent, it is more brave than the Tartars, which makes the uncle soldiers of the Guanning sequence very uncomfortable for a while.

Listening to the trembling report of the magistrate, Wu Sangui Yingting's face did not have any expression, and his originally handsome and chic face did not need to wear makeup to play a male ghost directly at this time.

After a while, after the town magistrate finished reporting, Wu Sangui glanced at the generals in the hall with an expressionless face, "Everyone, what do you have to think about?" ”

The generals whispered for a while, but soon began to shut their mouths again.

By now, the situation is already clear, even if they Guan Ning are strong, they are only the power of one place after all, and the Dashun Dynasty, even if it has just been established, it is also the power of a country!

This kind of difference is not something you can make up for if you want to.

Seeing that the generals didn't dare to speak, Wu Sangui couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

It is no wonder that the ancients said that "the road is lonely", this road is really too lonely, and the height is too cold......

Wu Sangui joined the army in his teens, and in his early twenties, he won the name of 'filial piety and nine sides, bravely crowning the three armies', and his experience in leading troops is quite rich.

Even though he was angry in his heart, he understood that this was definitely not the time to get angry, in case he poured out his emotions at will, making the people below uncomfortable, and there was an accident, then he would be more damn than Dou E.

After calming down for a while, Wu Sangui said in a deep voice: "At this time, my main force in Guanning has reached the point of life and death, you must not slack off, tonight, you must strictly guard against death to prevent the regeneration of thieves!" ”

"Yes!"

How dare the generals say anything else, and they are busy respectfully saying yes.

After a while, after the meeting, Wu Sangui recruited a confidant and whispered in a low voice.

The henchman hurriedly nodded again and again, and his eyes quickly showed a cold and stern light, and he quickly left.

For the bigwigs who lead the troops, each person has a different method of controlling the troops.

For example, Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing's method of controlling the model army is mainly the system, plus the families of the soldiers, supplemented by his own prestige, to integrate everyone into a community of interests.

Wu Sangui is also similar to Xu Changqing.

It's just that Wu Sangui didn't learn more scientific management in later generations after all, and many places are far less in place than Xu Changqing, but he also has his backhand, that is, secret surveillance.

At this time, this state is in line with Mr. Wang's famous saying: "It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one!" ”

It's no wonder he's not careful!

"Newspaper—"

"The latest battle report of T-shaped Luo Cheng!"

"Newspaper—"

"Luocheng Battle Report ......"

The silence of the hall was sometimes broken by the harsh voices of the heralds, and there were constantly figures coming and going.

Wu Sangui had already served a pot of wine at this time, and while drinking, he analyzed the plan more carefully.

The thief is too stable.

It's him, and I can't help but admire it at this time, Li Zicheng and them have come to this day, it's definitely not just luck, their combat effectiveness has already surpassed the vast majority of the Ming border army, even if it's them Guanning, they can only be blocked at the door by them at this time, but there is nothing they can do.

According to the current development of events, just like Xu Changqing's previous prediction, he has no choice but to go out of the city to fight for his life.

Just thinking about it, a confidant suddenly came over cautiously to report: "Handsome man, Mr. Xie is here......

Mr. Xie is Hong Chengchou's confidant Xie Sixin, and he also had an old relationship with Xu Changqing back then, and to a large extent, he was also kind to Xu Changqing.

As early as a few years ago, Hong Chengchou and Xie Sixin had not been in Liaodi for a few days, and Wu Sangui had a relationship with Xie Sixin, and the two worshipped brothers.

"Please. No, I'll go and ask for it personally. ”

Wu Sangui hesitated slightly, then immediately got up and went to ask Xie Sixin in person.

After the two of them were simple and polite outside, Wu Sangui directly invited Xie Sixin to the study, and said a little nervously: "Big brother, how is it?" ”

Xie Sixin's originally delicate goatee was slightly messy at this time, and he said in a low voice: "It's not easy to deal with." Dong Weng still wants to be famous. Brother Xian, is there really no other way? ”

Xie Sixin looked at Wu Sangui with a little difficulty.

Wu Sangui couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Big brother, you also saw today's battle, the thieves are a bunch of mad dogs, catch whoever bites whom, and besides, their firearms are very powerful, big brother thinks, how long can we hold on?" ”

"This ......"

Xie Sixin's face was full of sadness.

If there is a choice, who wants to take refuge in the Tartars as a minion?

But at this time, they really have no choice.

How could Xie Sixin be willing to give up the glory and wealth at this time? After pondering for a moment, he said in a low voice: "Uncle, for my brother, try your best to persuade the governor tonight, you must not be rash." It's not like we've never encountered this kind of situation, and if we hold on a little longer, there will definitely be a way! ”

Wu Sangui said yes with a smile on his lips, but his heart was already cold!

There can still be a fart way, and if you don't plan, there is only a dead end!

Seeing Xie Sixin away, Wu Sangui summoned his henchman Wu Dahai and whispered in a low voice.

Wu Dahai's pupils shrank suddenly, and after a moment, he nodded his head again and again.

After sending Wu Dahai away, Wu Sangui breathed a sigh of relief, took out a cigar, lit it and took a deep breath.

Even if some things are impulsive, the cost will be very large, but at this time, the arrow is already on the string, and he can't help hesitating!

As long as you can achieve the overall situation, let alone anything else, even if you kill your father and brother, what's the matter?

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it's almost time to be a child.

On the front line, a lot of news was constantly sent, which also made Wu Sangui more aware of the heart of the Exiled Army.

If there is no accident, tomorrow, the first day of the new year, even if it is said to break the sky, Shanhaiguan may not be able to hold it.

But at this time, there was no news from the north direction, which made Wu Sangui irritable.

At his feet, the cigarette butts of seven or eight cigars had been discarded.

Thinking about it, he recruited another confidant: "Go and ask again, where is the regent!" ”

"Yes......"

……

Just when Wu Sangui was stepping on a tightrope, anxiously waiting for a reply.

The two white flag pioneers of Dorgon and the Dodor brothers had arrived more than seventy miles north of Shanhaiguan and were still on their way overnight.

To be honest, Dolgon didn't expect the situation in Daming to change so quickly, and in this short period of time, it was already the banner of the changing king at the head of the city.

For him, it was definitely impossible to let go of this opportunity, so as early as the late autumn and early winter, he gathered a large army, recruited tens of thousands of armored people, and rushed to Liaoxi.

And the facts also proved that his choice was right, almost without a single soldier, he successfully took Jinzhou and had a good time.

It's just that the later situation made him a little unexpected, Wu Sangui actually gave up Ning Yuan so simply and decisively, and retreated directly to Shanhaiguan.

In particular, the northward flight of the two 'guerrillas' of Wang Tingchen and Liu Zhaoji really made him very irritable, and he has been encircling and suppressing the two units in the past few days.

It's a pity that in the past few years, Wang Tingchen and Liu Zhaoji have been fighting guerrillas in Liaodi, and Wang Tingchen and Liu Zhaoji have been unable to slip their hands, and they have fled into the depths of Da'an Mountain at this time, even Dolgon has nothing to do for a while.

But I never thought that at such a time, pie would fall from the sky again!

The exile army actually arrived at Shanhaiguan!

In this kind of weather, it is extremely cold to travel at night, even if Dolgon is tightly wrapped, only showing two eyes, and there is some warmth from the war horse, but between his eyebrows, there is still a layer of frost, and at a glance, it is the same as white eyebrows.

"Drive, drive!"

At this time, Duoduo, who was almost dressed like him, hurriedly rode over: "Brother, it's time to be a child, let's hurry up and reply to Wu Sangui, otherwise if this fight can't hold on, it won't be good for our Daqing." ”

Dolgon looked up at the sky, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled, and then nodded with a smile: "Okay." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and beckoned to Minister of Parliament Sony: "Go, you go and tell Wu Sangui in person, as long as he can hold out until tomorrow afternoon, he will not arrive in Shen Shizhong at the latest, and I will help him with 100,000 heavenly soldiers!" All his previous treatment is the same! ”

Sonny was clever, and instantly understood what Dorgon meant, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Tsk! ”

It was to hurry away on horseback.
