Xia Nan's voice shouting was very faint in the noisy shouting and killing, and it was already vague when it reached the other side, but Wu Sangui still keenly caught the key words. He looked at the stalemate, hesitated for a moment, raised his palm and ordered: "Let them withdraw and make a temporary truce." ”

The soldiers of the Guanning army retreated like a tidal wave, leaving corpses and wounded soldiers all over the ground, while the "new soldiers" on the wall were in full preparation for the next attack of their opponents.

Wu Sangui immediately took a few steps forward, making sure that he was outside the effective range of the firecracker, and then said loudly: "Pingnanhou...... Oh, the edict should be completed today, it's time to call Pingguo Gong, do you have any advice? ”

Xia Nan pointed to the wounded soldiers who were moaning under the wall, and said generously, "Before we talk, I will allow you to carry away your wounded soldiers." ”

Wu Sangui thought about it, this seemed to be in his favor, and he couldn't see any conspiracy, so he asked his subordinates to treat the wounded soldiers. Whether these wounded soldiers can be rescued is another matter, but if they are not rescued in front of their subordinates, it will chill the rest of the people, and it will be difficult to bring the team.

After patiently waiting for the other party to carry away hundreds of wounded, Xia Nanhao asked for a while: "General Wu led a large army to take advantage of the prosperity, thinking that he could take me down in one fell swoop, so as to ask the emperor for merit and reward, but unexpectedly it was a hard bone. Is Mr. Wu full of doubts and puzzled now? ”

Wu Sangui coughed twice, wanting to ask but couldn't open his mouth. He really had a question mark in his belly, how did an action that should have been without resistance turn into a confrontation between the two armies? How could these Jingying recruits be willing to risk the risk of the Zhulian Nine Clans to serve Xia Nan and still be so able to fight?

Xia Nan continued: "The details are long, I'm afraid you won't be too lazy to listen, so I'll pick up the most important ones." To put it simply, the bureau designed by you, Yang Sichang and the emperor was completely controlled by me, and the 10,000 recruits in the barracks were actually my first army dropped the bag, and a tanuki changed for the prince, and the real recruits put on the uniforms of the Qiong Navy and went out of the city with the army. ”

Wu Sangui was annoyed when he heard this, and threw the horsewhip on the ground in hatred. I thought it was seamless, but I didn't expect it all to fall into other people's calculations, and it seems that I can't please it today.

"General Wu, if you know the current affairs and help me break the city and defeat Li Zicheng and obediently retreat to Ningyuan, I will not treat you badly, after all, it takes manpower to resist the Tartars, and the Guan Ning army is a good help for my Qiong Navy. But you are too greedy, vainly trying to ascend to the sky in one step, and ruining your own good future, which is also not to blame others. Xia Nan said, "But for the sake of you and I who have fought side by side, I will give you another chance: give up resistance, hand over the 20,000 cavalry to me for reorganization, don't count on the official career, I will allow you to go back to Liaodong to be a rich man, or if you think Liaodong is bitter and cold, you can go to Jiangnan, and I don't want any of your family wealth." ”

"Win the king or defeat the king, you have the upper hand, no matter how you say it, Wu has nothing to say." Wu Sangui replied with a gloomy face, "But let me obediently give up my military power and be a flat-headed commoner who allows you to slaughter at will, I'm afraid it's a fool's dream, right?" It is certainly difficult for me to storm the barracks, but with 20,000 iron horsemen running on their legs, can you catch up? Back in Liaodong, there are more than 100,000 border troops guarding it, what can you do with me? ”

"I don't fight uncertain battles, and since I say so, I am completely sure." Xia Nan smiled, "I don't believe you, is there any movement behind you?" ”

Wu Sangui looked back at it. Behind him were the oppressive cavalry, and farther away was the wide street, because there was a war, and the people were hiding, and there was not a single figure in the street.

He was about to laugh at the other party's trickery, but faintly heard footsteps in the distance. He buttoned his ears, thinking he was hallucinating, and turned his head to ask left and right, "Did you hear any movement?" ”

Several of the henchmen listened in confusion, and one of them dismounted and lay on the ground to listen. After a while, several people said one after another: "Zhentai, my subordinates seem to have heard footsteps." The one lying on the ground jumped up, surprised, "It's a large group of people, all of them are infantry troops, and without a horse army, it is twenty or thirty thousand ......."

Wu Sangui was shocked, the saber in his hand almost fell off his hand and fell to the ground, and he looked back at Xia Nan: "You still ambushed the backhand?" ”

Xia Nan smiled contemptuously: "Do you think that the so-called news of Huang Taiji's offense can deceive me, and really send the army to Ningyuan?" To tell you the truth, every move of the Tartars is under my control, and the news of the imperial court is far less accurate than mine. Now Dolgon's white flag and Hauge's blue flag tens of thousands of troops have been dragged by me in the Lushunkou and Jinzhou areas, Hauge is also seriously injured, Huang Taiji is anxious, where do you get the energy to go south? My army was just out of the city yesterday and made a show, and today I will count the time to kill the carbines. Surprised, surprised? ”

Wu Sangui was a little dizzy, sitting on horseback and staggering, thinking: The defense of the city gate has been taken over by the Qiong Navy, so naturally he can go out of the city if he wants to, and enter the city if he wants to, no wonder he can't get the news of the return of the army at all......

Xia Nanyao pointed to the north and said loudly: "Wu Sangui, my 40,000 troops, plus an independent artillery regiment, will advance from both sides of Fuchengmen Street and Deshengmen Street, and you have no way out." If you are obsessed with it again, and want to pull the 20,000 Guan Ning soldiers into the water to bury you, I will not be merciful. Today I will use 12,000 men and the barracks as a chopping board, and 40,000 men as swords and axes, and I will cut you into powder in front of this barracks! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Guan Ningjun panicked. From bullying 2,000 people to falling into the flanking attack of an army of 40,000 or 50,000, the gap is too big, and if you don't get it right, you will die here. They all set their eyes on Wu Sangui, expecting the coach to soften.

But Wu Sangui became famous at a young age, and he was once evaluated by the first emperor as "brave champion and three armies", and he was arrogant, how could he be willing to bow his head so easily? What's more, after losing the military power, with the bond between the two sides, I am afraid that it is also delusional to want to be a rich man. Until the end of the mountain, how could he bow down and kill.

In the midst of the hesitation, a large army had already appeared in the distance. The neat queue pressed towards this side like a wall, and at the front was a bayonet like a forest, refracting a dazzling white light, which looked particularly depressing. The Guanning army was all cavalry and had rich experience, and knew that in such a relatively narrow space, in the face of a tight infantry array, the advantages of the cavalry were all eliminated, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a situation of nine deaths and one life.

As if this was not enough to deter the Guanning army, the Qiong navy stopped two thousand paces away, the array was separated, and a mountain cannon was pushed up from the rear by the soldiers, lined up in front, and the black muzzles were all aimed at the panicked Guanning army.
