After the 30 cavalrymen who fell from the Dashun Army led a group of horses to the hillside, the first wave of attacks had ended.

The leader of the Dashun Army felt a little regretful that he was only catching the living and did not use long-range weapons such as bows and arrows. There were only one or two people on the other side wearing armor, and imagined that a rain of arrows could kill most of Chongzhen's guards, and then dealing with Chongzhen was extremely simple. As mentioned above, if you really couldn't catch the living Chongzhen, the dead Chongzhen would have to, and in any case, you would not let him escape.

This time the attack changed the rules, with eight archers on both sides, and thirty-two swordsmen in the middle. When the tactics changed, Chongzhen felt nervous. The only way was to fully utilize the range power of the four pistols, but after killing 7 archers, someone was still shot. Wang Chengen was shot in his left arm, grinning in pain, and Liu Jiyun also got shot in his shoulder, and he lost his combat power. Wang Chengen had to hand over the pistol to Zhou Chong and lost himself.

He was responsible for rushing Zhou to shoot with bullets. Zhou Chong fired with one hand, but still shot darts from time to time with his left hand. In this way, it was more lethal than Wang Chengen occupying the pistol. Mr. Zhou relied on some martial arts foundation and now rushed to fight. After laying a few empty arrows, he also had a correct head. The crossbow actually exerted a great power in his hands. Mr. Zhou was full of blood hatred and was extremely jealous at this time. The crossbow shot and injured several Dashun soldiers.

However, all Dashun soldiers were wearing armor and shields. The lethality of the arrowheads could not cause fatal injuries. If you hurt your arms and legs, you can continue to fight. Only four pistols were fatal. Chongzhen calculated that he had killed eight of them just now, plus the nine that he had killed before. Today is really amazing! Within 100 meters, the shield and armor were rubbish in front of the "Du version" pistol, and they were easily passed by conical copper bullets. However, Ergang still lacked the fire, and many injured and few killed. Wang Chengen's performance was even less than good. He seemed to have killed only two enemy soldiers. The bullets he shot were either lost or added a wound to the hands and feet of the enemy soldiers. It was not until the pistol was handed over to Zhou Chong that it was considered full use.

He was successively broken through the first and second line of defense, and after throwing the second and last grenade, he had to retreat to the third line of defense. At this time, except for Miss Zhou and the maid, everyone was injured, and Wen Tiecheng's abdomen was cut deep. You can't say that Chongzhen, who was engaged in sports in his previous life, had extraordinary reaction speed and body flexibility. He was the only person among the combatants who were not injured. As a result, later, the legend of the martial arts world Chongzhen was strong and he had a strong man to protect his body. He could not be injured by ordinary swords and guns!

When the third line of defense was also in danger, ten more Jinyiwei arrived and attacked from top to bottom, which solved the danger. The Dashun army was about to succeed, but they did not expect to fail again. The two sides were equally matched and no one could gain the upper hand. They had to retreat again. The retreating people, including the wounded soldiers, were only nineteen. The Dashun army did not leave, surveillance from afar, waiting for reinforcements.

After a while, Wu Sangui's men and Dashun reinforcements finally arrived. The fifty Wu army brought by the two Jinyiwei and the 100 Dashun troops who came to reinforce the army confronted the mountain. Both sides were eyeing each other and refused to take action easily. It was thought that both sides were waiting for more reinforcements.

After one incense stick, twenty more Jinyiwei arrived, and the situation became more balanced, but there were still many Dashun soldiers, and they did not dare to act rashly in both directions. Ten Jinyiwei were divided up to take care of the mountain, while the others were still nervous.

As a result, within an hour, you come a group of people and I come a group of people. The number of people confronting at the foot of the mountain has been increasing. They both have concerns and dare not start the battle lightly, and are all waiting for their own reinforcements.

The Dashun Army received the order to intercept Chongzhen and kill people and destroy the lands when necessary. However, the Dashun Army did not expect that Wu Sangui's troops were also intervening. The Dashun Army received the order to warn Wu Sangui's troops, but he was not allowed to start the war easily.

Wu Sangui's subordinates received the order to accept Chongzhen at all costs and protect Chongzhen from danger and come to Wu camp. As for the soldiers and horses of Dashun, they should not start the war easily.

Whether it is Li Zicheng or Wu Sangui, after all, no one wants to offend the other party first while they are getting back and forth. So this funny scene happened like this.

At dusk, Wu Sangui's three hundred soldiers gathered at the foot of the mountain. Except for one hundred people who did not arrive, the Dashun army had more than six hundred troops.

In addition to those who were left with warning along the way, the Jinyiwei also arrived back and forth and guarded the mountain.

The people confronted each other were roughly as follows: On the Chongzhen side, there were 300 Wu troops, plus forty-three Jinyiwei, and even Chongzhen had eleven people in the inner hiking group. However, except for the two women who were not injured, only Chongzhen was unharmed. On the Dashun side, there were 600 reinforcements and 19 remaining soldiers, and soon a hundred people would come to hear the news.

The highest commander sent by Wu Sangui was a guerrilla, named Guo Yunlong, and the Jinyiwei was headed by a thousand households, named Qin Zhiyong. The two probably couldn't fight for a while, so they went up the mountain to meet Chongzhen. When they saw Chongzhen, they gave a great ceremony to worship. The place was desolate, and Wang Chengen had to ask someone to move a few stones and sit down and talk.

Seeing that Guo Yunlong was not tall, Chongzhen looked at his muscles and powerful general from his movements. He was probably going to see his kind face. Chongzhen learned from later generations that it was the Qing soldiers who Guo Yunlong personally led to enter the pass, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. When Wang Chengen saw Chongzhen, he guessed that Guo Yunlong was here to save you! He said that he would not hit the smiley person, and now he had to rely on others to escape from danger! Besides, Guo Yunlong was just a pawn of Wu Sangui, and at most he was an accomplice. Since you were all planning to let Wu Sangui go, why should Guo Yunlong be dissatisfied with him? Thinking of this, he immediately called:

"It turns out it's General Guo. Thanks to General Wu who sent you here, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Thank you General Guo for your hard work!"

Guo Yunlong was a wink, otherwise Wu Sangui would not have let him see Dorgon. Isn’t it bad to ask a reckless person to see Dorgon and make any misunderstandings? When Guo Yunlong saw Chongzhen’s bad face, he thought he was frightened or thought he was late to save his master. Legend has it that Chongzhen has always been mean and polite, so he should not wear his own shoes at that time. He said now:

"I am late to save my job! I deserve to die! But the current crisis has not yet been resolved. I would like to ask the emperor to explain what to do next."

Chongzhen finally realized that now he was in siege, how to escape is the most urgent task. It seems that Wang Chengen understands the worldly ways! Thinking of this section, his attitude changed, so he asked quietly:

"What are the opinions of Guo Aiqing? Why not talk about it?"

When Guo Yunlong saw the emperor asking for his opinion, he thought it was just his expression, and said with a sigh:

"The emperor, with 300 troops in Beishi, it is more than enough to deal with only 600 Dashun bandits! However, if we rashly attack Dashun bandits, our army will suffer great casualties. We can escape, but what we worry about is that after defeating this army, if other Dashun bandits nearby flock to us, Beishi is worried that there will be no danger to defend on the road at that time, and it may endanger the safety of the emperor. Therefore, to be cautious, our army has not moved for a long time. Beishi has sent people to rush back to report the news, and can set off calmly when the brigade of troops arrive."

When Chongzhen heard this, he heard the taste, but his words were flawless. He really didn't want to offend Li Zicheng, and he could find such a high-sounding excuse! However, this move was just right, and he didn't want to fight Li Zicheng at this time. Therefore, he looked at Qin Zhiyong and asked:

"What is Lord Qin's opinion? Let's talk about it."

Qin Qianhu hurriedly said, "I dare not! I think that since the Dashun army and General Guo's troops have been confronting each other for so long, there is no conflict, I think I am very cautious! The Dashun army has probably used these troops to surround the emperor, and there are not many more people. In this regard, the Dashun army's arrangements were not done with all their strength, and it is not even known that Li Zicheng's subordinates made an arrangement without authorization. After all, the emperor's abdication ceremony has passed but it is not known that the emperor's abdication ceremony has passed.

In two or three days, if Li Zicheng openly hunted the emperor, it would inevitably be unfavorable to public opinion. Therefore, the humble guess that the Dashun Army must have made a secret arrangement here and would not mobilize troops. If the Dashun Army is forced to persuade the Dashun Army to make way for the encirclement and let the emperor escape, the wells and waters on both sides will not violate the rivers. This can be said to be the best solution. If the Dashun Army does not listen to the persuasion, they will naturally be the ones who are in the wrong. When the war is fought, our army will not be afraid of him."

When Wang Chengen heard this, Qin Qianhu had extraordinary insights and said:

"Emperor, what Qin Qianhu said is reasonable. It is better for the emperor to write a metaphor. I will walk down the mountain on behalf of the emperor and persuade me to see if I can escape properly without using swords and guns."

Chongzhen pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Just as you said."

He immediately tore off a piece of clothing, dipped it in the blood of the dead, and wrote the blood words "Li Zicheng is great and righteous, Zhu Youjian promises a thousand gold medals. Harmony is the most important!" This blood letter is written too much, and practice makes perfect. When Wang Chengen saw it, he found that it was more charming than the one in the Coal Mountain that day.

Zhou Chong and Qin Qianhu protected Wang Chengen and Guo Yunlong, walked to the confrontation between the two armies, and Guo Yunlong shouted to the opposite side:

"Guo Yunlong, a young general under General Wu, please come out and talk."

The general led by Dashun was Liu Tichun. After hearing the report from his subordinates, Liu Tichun heard that Chongzhen had a powerful musket that pierced armor and took his life within a hundred steps, and a flying thunder threw it out fifty steps, which was also amazingly powerful. Liu Tichun had heard of fire-pulling grenades, but it took some time to equip such grenades. It was the first time he heard of the amazingly powerful musket. Seeing Wu Sangui's troops also came to tide this muddy water, he did not dare to do anything at the moment. Don't say that these 600 people rarely ate the Wu army, just for Wu Sangui's face, the responsibility for the rash war was not something he could bear. But if Chongzhen was let go, he would never agree. Therefore, he had to continue to confront each other and Xu Tu had a good plan. At this time, he heard the Wu army shouting, and immediately took the horse out of the line, and replied:

"I am humble in office, Liu Tichun, and came to the order of Prime Minister Dashun Niu to invite King Song back to the capital. I wonder what General Guo has to do with his teachings?"

Seeing that it was Liu Tichun, Wang Chengen thought that this person was a person who could make half a master, so he spoke out:

"General Liu, I am polite to you! My master asked me to bring a picture of the words to Emperor Dashun. Because my master was unwilling to continue living in Beijing and had not yet bid farewell to Emperor Dashun, he brought this picture of the words to Emperor Dashun, which is considered a ritual to say goodbye. Emperor Dashun has been doing good deeds for my master for a while. My master has also given me all kinds of kindness to Emperor Dashun. My master and Emperor Dashun agreed to work together.

In order to resist the Qing Dynasty, we will never be enemies with Dashun before destroying the Qing Dynasty. Even after destroying the Qing Dynasty, we can sit down and discuss everything. If Emperor Dashun wins the hearts of the people in the world, my master will help Emperor Dashun peacefully unify China. Now that my master has left, General Liu asks General Liu to let go of the situation in terms of the joint anti-Qing and the friendship between my master and Emperor Dashun!” Wang Chengen can write a blank check, but he doesn’t care whether he can cash it in the future.

Qin Qianhu held the blood letter and went straight to the enemy. Someone from the Dashun Army had already set off his bow and arrows, but Liu Tichun pressed his hand with a gesture and immediately stopped.

A soldier took the blood letter and handed it to Liu Tichun. When Liu Tichun looked at the blood letter, he didn't know what promises Chongzhen and Li Zicheng had made. He thought that this abdication ceremony was only two or three days in a blink of an eye. If Chongzhen was killed, it would be a laughing stock in the world. Moreover, since then, it has become a feud with Wu Sangui. Once Wu Sangui turns to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, it would be a bad thing! Liu Tichun is responsible for the Dashun intelligence and has long discovered that the Qing soldiers would invade the south in just ten days. Dashun has not yet established a foothold, so naturally he must not make up the powerful enemy Wu Sangui. But if Chongzhen is spared, even if the tiger returns to the mountain, he is still very reluctant!

He hesitated, so he replied:

"Eunuch Wang, please pay homage to King Song! Huyi is to act according to orders. When Mr. Wang said this, Huyi will definitely report to Prime Minister Niu. King Song should have a good rest tonight, and we will never disturb you."

······

After Wu Sangui found out that he had found the emperor, he was overjoyed. This time, he seemed to be unable to escape from the Dragon Master! He quickly notified Gao Di and Li Yutian that the three of them had a plan to worry about Chongzhen's safety. Wu Sangui kept doing it and lit up five thousand elite soldiers overnight and headed straight to where Chongzhen was trapped.

At about the fifth hour, Wu Sangui and his troops arrived at the hill where Chongzhen was. Looking around, the Dashun Army also came about seven or eight thousand reinforcements at the same time. The two sides lit bonfires, but it was still a confrontation.
