    Shanhaiguan.

    Liu Zongmin met Li Zicheng alone, and said, "Your Majesty, beware of Ma Ke secretly informing the slaves!"

    "I know, these generals are unreliable." Li Zicheng nodded.

    Due to time reasons, Li Zicheng had two main approaches to deal with the surrendered soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

    One is the guards and tomb guards who surrendered along the way during Li Zicheng's march.  These officers and soldiers were basically disbanded on the spot and sent back to their hometowns to work in the fields. A few young men were recruited to supplement the vacancies of the Dashun Army.

    One is the Daming Frontier Army. Because they maintain their combat effectiveness, it is temporarily inconvenient to move, so they are allowed to continue guarding the frontier.  If the troops are forcibly disbanded, the frontier generals are likely to rebel, and Li Zicheng does not have so much time for conquest.

    Hong Chengchou belongs to the second category, and Ma Ke also belongs to the second category.

    Ma Ke is already doing well. Facing the attacks of Hauge and Dorgon, he did not immediately choose to backstab Li Zicheng.  He was guarding the city and watching, what if Li Zicheng could kill Huang Taiji?

    Now that Li Zicheng retreated to Shanhaiguan, Ma Ke began to make up his mind.

    Li Zicheng said: "There are not many Tatar slaves in the pass. They are all partisans who took a detour to cross the Great Wall. Don't rush to break through, just wipe out these partisans! At that time, relying on Shanhai Pass, if the Tatar chieftain (Huang Taiji) does not withdraw his troops, he will find an opportunity to go out of the pass with him."  decisive battle!"

    Liu Zongbin said: "When fighting, take Ma Ke out, and our own people will guard the gate."

    "Oh, how dare you let him guard the gate?" Li Zicheng sighed.

    On this day, the follow-up troops of the Manchu Qing came.  With a full 60,000 army and a large number of grain transporters, it seems that the Tartars have already come out.

    Before sending out troops in a hurry, Huang Taiji could only mobilize 60,000 troops, but now he gathered 60,000 troops to kill them.  Not only that, there were also thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the direction of Lengkou and Xifengkou, crossing the Great Wall and entering Shanhaiguan.

    However, 120,000 troops were sent back and forth, and there were still more civilians. Liaodong's people's power has been seriously overdrawn.  Once the Shanhaiguan Pass cannot be defeated, the Manchu Qing regime will weaken from then on, and I am afraid that it will have to kill people to protect food to survive.

    "The Tartars have increased their troops again." Liu Zongmin said worriedly.

    Li Zicheng forced himself to be calm: "Follow him to increase troops outside the pass, and first destroy the Tartars inside the pass."

    Liu Zongbin led 10,000 troops and was responsible for defending Shanhaiguan.

    Li Zicheng took Ma Ke and personally led an army of nearly 60,000 to the battle. The soldiers pointed directly at Haoge, Dorgon, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, and Jiang Zhu in the pass.

    In "Ming History", it is said that Li Zicheng's tactics are "three walls", which is almost certainly a fabrication.

    At this moment, Li Zicheng also formed a triple formation, with infantry in the front, cavalry in the middle, and cavalry in the rear.

    Due to the continuous seizure of officers and soldiers' equipment, everyone in the elite of the Dashun Army wore armor. Even the infantry wore high-quality leather armor, and some infantry also wore heavy armor.  There are spearmen, archers, and firecrackers, but there are not many sword and shield players, and the defensiveness of the formation is far inferior to that of the Datong Army and the Manchus.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    There was rumble of cannons outside the pass, but it was Huang Taiji's main force, which was attacking Shanhaiguan with heavy artillery.

    Li Zicheng believed that Liu Zongmin could hold it, and ignored Huangtai at all, and sent his troops to kill Haoge and Dorgon in the pass.

    In order to quickly detour and attack, Hauge and Dorgon have all cavalry under their command.  They let the surrendered troops lead the front, and they themselves led the cavalry around the battlefield.

    Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Jiang Zhu and other surrendered generals were all scalp numb by Li Zicheng's army.

    On the way to Shanhaiguan, they all selected young and strong peasants to supplement their troops. Now each of them commands 5,000 troops, and there are 15,000 Han soldiers alone.  All mobs!

    "Quickly withdraw to Funing!" Dorgon was shocked.

    Haug said: "Yes, retreat quickly, this battle cannot be won!"

    Don't think how brave these two famous characters are, they also run fast when they encounter danger.

    There were still three miles between the two sides, and Hauge and Dorgon ran away with their cavalry, leaving the 15,000 infantry of the generals on the battlefield.

    "Run!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Tong immediately fled with his family cavalry.

    ?The rest of the surrendered generals also scrambled to flee, and there were only 15,000 Han Chinese infantry left on the battlefield.

    Most of these Han infantry were civilians along the way, and some of them served in the army for only a few days.  They did not dare to flee back, fearing that they would be requisitioned by the Qing army again, so they knelt down and surrendered.

    "Chase!"

    Li Zicheng didn't bother to pay attention to these surrendered soldiers, and ordered the infantry to be guarded and collected, and led Xiaoqi and cavalry to chase the enemy cavalry.

    Xiaoqi are all elite cavalry, capable of charging, riding and shooting.

    The cavalry is much weaker, although it is also armored, it is more like riding a horse.?Holding up infantry spears, he charged towards the Manchu cavalry without risking his life.

    Abandoning the equipment, relying on the speed of the horse, charging quickly, and fighting at close range, this is the best tactic to deal with the Manchu and Qing cavalry.  In just over ten minutes, Li Zicheng realized it during the battle!

    The Haier Army just lacked cavalry equipment. Although the horses were relatively inferior, they ran much faster than the Manchu cavalry.

    Seeing this situation, Hauge and Dorgon hurriedly ordered to disperse, intending to repeat the old tricks and eat up the cavalry team.

    ?Under the leadership of Zhang Nai, thousands of boys and soldiers risked their lives. After being shot and killed hundreds of people quickly, they crashed into the scattered formations of the Manchu cavalry.

    It doesn't matter if the equipment is inferior, these teenagers are here to die, one for one, two for one, three for one, all are acceptable.

    Li Zicheng also brought Xiaoqi over to help, facing the shooting of other small groups of enemy troops, he rushed into the group of Manchu cavalry dragged out by the boy army.

    Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Jiang Zhu and other surrendered generals were all dumbfounded at this moment.

    They escaped to watch the battle from afar and witnessed the whole battle process.  So far in the battle, the Dashun Xiaoqi Cavalry had suffered more than 3,000 casualties, the Dashun Boy Army had more than 1,000 casualties, and the Manchu Qing cavalry had also suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

    Moreover, Li Zicheng has found a suitable tactic.

    The intensity of the war was too high, beyond the imagination of the generals, and they couldn't understand why both sides were not afraid of death.

    "Withdraw!"

    Some of the bitten Qing cavalry remained alive and were directly abandoned by Dorgon and Hauge.  They took the opportunity to distance themselves and wanted to continue playing routines.

    Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw to Shanhaiguan!"

    Although this tactic is effective, it was created by Haierjun with all his life.  Although it can effectively kill the enemy, if you come a few more times, thousands of child soldiers will have to confess here, and Dashun Xiaoqi will have to pay a heavy price.

    Seeing Li Zicheng's retreat, Hauge and Dorgon came back with troops.

    Li Zicheng's hair was ruthless, and after he separated hundreds of boys into an army, the teenagers used their lives to cover Li Zicheng's retreat.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.
