Chapter 261 Beijing View

The personal guards led by Wang Yisheng arrived late and beheaded many people without causing any damage. As Ying Yi's personal bodyguards, this group of soldiers and horses is the most elite. Their weapons and armors are nothing to talk about, but their average physical strength is the best among the entire army. In addition, it avoided the most powerful moment of the Tatars, so it was natural that there would be no damage.

"Collect the bones of the fallen soldiers." Ying Yi said: "Remember the names and cremate them on the spot. The ashes must be brought back without leaving any trace."

"Here!"

The four of them nodded in unison.

"in addition..."

Ying Yi raised his eyes and looked at the group of prisoners being guarded under the pass, and said calmly: "I don't want to take any prisoners in this battle. Kill them all for me. Cut off all the heads on the battlefield and send them to outside Shanhaiguan. I will build them up." Let the Tatars see the capital."

Even though there were Han Chinese among the prisoners, Ying Yi was cold-hearted and would kill them at will.

This battle was not the beginning of Ying Yi's annihilation of the Donglu, but a battle that shocked the Donglu. It still takes a lot of time and energy to sort out the large area of ​​​​the land in Hebei. For the time being, Ying Yi has no intention to pay attention to the Tatars.

Be shocked, and when order in Hebei is stabilized, it will be the beginning of the end of the Tatars.

Zhu Bingkun responded and said: "My lord, Abatai is captured, do you want to see him?"

Ying Yi raised his eyebrows: "Abatai was captured? His fate is not small."

Then he waved his hand: "There are Tatars on the left and right. If there's anything interesting about them, just kill them."

"Here."

Zhu Bingkun took a step back, and Zheng Wu stepped forward: "Lord, one person escaped in this battle."

"Oh?" Ying Yi changed his mind and said, "Is it with Cheng Ying?"

Zheng Wudao: "My lord is wise. I tightened my pockets earlier, and when I encountered this man fleeing, I had already trapped him and wanted to kill him. Unexpectedly, a big eagle fell from the sky and took him away. Caught off guard, the soldiers did not keep him. Stay alive."

Ying Yi said: "That's a strange person from the Tatar side, and it's reasonable to have some cunning methods. It doesn't matter if he runs away, he can just help me send a message to the slave chief Huang Taiji."

Zheng Wu paused, bowed and said: "There is another matter that needs to be dealt with by the lord. There is news from Zhao Jin, who will stay in the capital at the end of the year, and attached is a letter from Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet."

As he spoke, he took out a crumpled, unopened letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Ying Yi was startled for a moment and then laughed. He took the letter, opened it at a glance, took a few breaths and said with a smile: "These old dogs are not fools. The Ming Dynasty is about to die, so we must find a way out."

Zhu Bingkun and others looked at each other and understood.

Ying Yi crumpled the letter into a ball, threw it under the pass, and said: "Ignore him. I do need a complete capital, but it doesn't matter whether there is Zhou Yanru or not. After passing the order, the soldiers of each department cleaned the battlefield and rested on the spot. Wang Yisheng, you and your bodyguards will send the head to Shanhaiguan, go quickly."

"Here!"

All the generals responded in unison.

...

Shanhaiguan.

Bai Guangen stood on the city wall with a calm expression, commanding his soldiers to repel another wave of Tatar attacks. In the distance, the elite Tatar soldiers remained motionless.

Turge arrived the day after Ying Yi left Shanhaiguan. As Abatai's deputy, Turg divided his forces with Abatai, led 10,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 soldiers, and rushed along the Guanning line.

He bypassed Ningyuan directly, and also removed the Ningyuan middle right post and Guangning middle and rear post between Ningyuan and the former garrison, isolating Wu Sangui who was stationed in Ningyuan.

But in the front guard, Turg suffered a setback. Mako guarded the former garrison. Although he was afraid of the Tatars, Turg failed to break the former garrison as he wished despite the desperate resistance of the newly surrendered general.

But that's all. It only has the power to defend the city, but not the ability to fight in the field.

Turg simply gave up the front guard and attacked the front position again. However, the troops at Nakazensuo had long been drained away during the reorganization and were abandoned. He got it as he wished.

Then they went to Shanhaiguan and attacked the city in turn with coats, but the intensity was average.

Since yesterday, Turg has tackled the problem nearly ten times, and almost half of the nearly 10,000 coats have been lost. If Turg was determined to attack Shanhaiguan, it would be time to recruit Manchu and Mongolian elites.

Bai Guangen seemed calm, but in fact he was quite anxious. Shanhaiguan is not the key here, the key lies in the battlefields near Qingshan Pass and Xifeng Pass.

He hoped that news would come from there as soon as possible.

"General Lin, I wonder if there is any news from my lord?"

Bai Guangen has asked this question no less than twenty times.

General Lin was one of the soldiers and horses that Ying Yi left in Shanhaiguan. He and Bai Guangen were watching the battle at the top of the city. Hearing this, he said with a cold face: "General Bai will only guard Shanhaiguan."

The tone was harsh.

Bai Guangen smiled awkwardly: "Brother, you are a little worried after all. Don't be offended by General Lin."

Lin Bu will be speechless.

After a while, he said: "The Tatars have never sent out elite soldiers, and only used slaves to attack the key points. Their intentions are obvious. But when the good news about the lord comes, what will the Tatars' expressions look like when they are imprisoned?"

Bai Guangen smiled and said: "It will definitely look good."

After this wave of soldiers was repulsed, about half an hour later, the Tatars fired more than a dozen cannons. Only two or three of them landed on the top of the city, causing no casualties. Then a thousand wrappers came up again.

Bai Guangen was getting a little annoyed. While commanding the artillery to fire back, he said to General Lin: "Seeing that the sun has passed noon, my lord..."

As soon as he opened his mouth and mentioned this again, he saw that General Lin's expression was already very stiff, so he had to stop.

At this time, someone shouted: "General Wang is back!"

Bai Guangen was startled, and he and General Lin looked at each other, turned around, and were about to go down to Guancheng. Bai Guangen paused again: "Guard the wall, I will come back as soon as I leave."

Then he had already entered Guancheng. He grabbed the soldier who was sending the message and asked, "General Wang? Is this General Wang Yisheng?!"

The messenger said: "It's General Wang! He has entered the customs!"

Bai Guangen was overjoyed and said to General Lin: "It seems that the battlefield on my lord's side has been settled!"

The two of them got on their horses, crossed the Guanzhong Military Road, and went to greet him.

Just then, Wang Yisheng was commanding his soldiers to drive carriages into the pass at the inner gate.

Bai Guangen and General Lin dismounted and advanced. General Lin smiled, beat his chest and performed a military salute, saying, "Brother Wang, how is the battle going?"

Bai Guangen pricked up his ears and didn't dare to miss a word.

Wang Yisheng greeted the two of them: "My lord takes action personally, what else can happen?"

He pointed at the carriages entering the gate and said, "They are all heads."

Bai Guangen was startled. Although this carriage had already entered the gate a lot, there were still many more behind it. He couldn't see the end at a glance. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "They are all heads?!"

Wang Yisheng said: "Abatai's 40,000 soldiers and horses, except for one stranger who escaped, the rest are all here."

After hearing this, Bai Guangen was stunned for a long time, and then took a breath: "Kill them all?!"

Wang Yisheng said: "My lord wants to build a temple outside Shanhaiguan."

"Jingguan..."

General Lin was not surprised, but Bai Guangen opened his mouth wide and was too shocked to speak.

Only then did Wang Yisheng ask: "How is the battle at Shanhaiguan going?"

Bai Guangen said hurriedly: "The Tatars only attack the enemy with clothes. They have attacked nearly ten times since yesterday."

Wang Yisheng nodded: "My lord ordered me to build the capital, and there was no time to delay. So I went out to send the Tatars away and put their heads on a pile."
