Aspiration

Chapter 155 Sneak Attack on Meng Jiangnv Temple
Li Laiheng looked around.

In the front, although his eight hundred elites were still so energetic, there was grief and indignation in their brows. Only one of their former blades was left now, and the other two had disappeared forever.

Behind, the 1 Mountain Infantry Division also had a tragic look.Li Laiheng did not hide the task they were going to complete.Everyone understood that they went deep alone, perhaps, the enemy they faced was the most elite troops in these years.Whether it is Wu Sangui's Ming army or the Manchu Qing army, their combat power far exceeds any previous one. What's more, they only have more than [-] people without any logistical support.

There is no retreat, no reinforcements, and no logistical support. Everything is on the blade of your own hands.

This is the fact that Li Laiheng's troops are well aware of.

Riding on his white horse, Li Laiheng said loudly: "How far is death from us? Just across a blade! A blade is so far away. How far are we from the enemy? At any point in our six hundred miles! From here Go six hundred miles, and then come back from there, it is still six hundred miles. We have to walk these roads, we will win, and we will be alive. Otherwise, we will leave this team forever. Remember, you are Li Laiheng's army! Li Laiheng's army is you! Well, half a month later, we will return to Beijing City, and at that time, we will pay homage to General Luo Hu!"

"To pay homage to General Luo Hu!"

"To pay homage to General Luo Hu!"

"set off!"

At Yinshi, there was only a gleam of white light in the east, and Li Laiheng's troops drove out of the city gate and disappeared into the hazy morning light.

A few dark shadows cleverly hid behind the rocks on the hillside outside Beijing.They are counting the specific number of troops; they are listening to the words of the soldiers; they are trying to identify the appearance and flag of the leading general.

The black flag was unfurled.They didn't need to guess that there must be a big "Li" on the flag.

"1000 people. They are all elite troops."

The people behind the rock, after the men and horses passed, they were checking information with each other.

"The [-] or so cavalry are Li Laiheng's personal battalion, and the [-] infantry are Gu Kecheng's mountain divisions. They are all undefeated troops."

"Yes, hurry up and tell the regent this information."

"They must have sneaked into Wu Sangui's supply army grain depot."

"Meng Jiangnu Temple!"

"We must deliver the information tomorrow night!"

Several people whispered for a while, and they quickly headed north. It can be seen from their vigorous posture that these people are extremely rare talents for investigation.

Dorgon only planned to stay in Montenegro for one day.He planned to arrive at Shanhaiguan on the same day as Li Zicheng.It was early, and he was worried that Li Zicheng would flee to the west, and late, and he was worried that Wu Sangui would be defeated. He had to pinpoint the time and arrive at the decisive battlefield almost at the same time as Li Zicheng.

Dorgon chose Shanhaiguan as the battlefield for the decisive battle. He felt that this was his wisest decision.Moreover, he was going to let Wu Sangui take the lead. When they were in a stalemate, his elite troops would suddenly appear, and then put all his main force on. He hoped that this battle would basically eliminate Li Zicheng's main force.

In particular, he must annihilate the black army of Li Zicheng's general Li Laiheng.For this magical elite, Dorgon prepared to use his own five thousand guards.

Dorgon had a little-known guard army of 5000 people. He used various methods to carefully select these 5000 people from the Eight Banners of Manchuria. After rigorous training, Dorgon thought that this was an invincible army. When he was an elite, his five thousand exceeded 5.

Dorgon planned to use these 5000 people to deal with Li Laiheng's 800 people.

Before leaving Montenegro, he went to see the Queen Mother as usual.

Everywhere she went, Empress Xiaozhuang knew that Dorgon would come to ask important questions.After a day's meeting in Montenegro, he would of course come to ask the "emperor" for instructions. On behalf of the emperor, Xiaozhuang listened to the regent's decision.

"We are only four hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan. We will meet Li Zicheng's Dashun main force at Shanhaiguan. We have studied several specific plans. Please give instructions from the empress dowager." When Dorgon said this, he was already very bold. Staring into the eyes of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, in other words, the relationship between them is already very natural, without the shyness of the past.

Xiao Zhuang's big eyes seemed to be able to speak, but today, she fixed her eyes on Dorgon, "Please let the regent decide."

"The emperor's father is regent." Dorgon corrected Xiaozhuang's mistake.Before he set off from Shenyang, he officially removed the word "uncle" and became the emperor's father and regent.

Xiao Zhuang's charming face flushed, and he muttered softly, "Why bother?"

Seeing Xiao Zhuang's blush, Dorgon's heart skipped a beat, if he hadn't said something important, he would definitely have hugged her into the tent and kept her tender.But not now, the important things must be said first.

At this moment, suddenly, his personal soldiers came to report: "The emperor's father, the regent, has an important military report."

When Dorgon saw the secret document, his face was suddenly excited, "Ha! Okay, it's a good thing to have a decisive battle in advance." He looked at a military newspaper report about Li Laiheng's surprise attack on Meng Jiangnv Temple, feeling like he had found a treasure.

With 1000 people going deep alone, this is the best chance to wipe them out.

Seeing Dorgon so happy, Xiao Zhuang asked why he was so happy?
Dorgon told Empress Xiaozhuang that Li Laiheng was a peculiar elite division in Li Zicheng's army, and he, Dorgon, was not afraid of anyone but this army.This army confronted him twice, and both times the entire army was wiped out, while Li Laiheng's army was almost unscathed. If this army is not eliminated, Dorgon will not be able to sleep peacefully even if he enters the customs.It's all right now, he has purposely culled this army, and the odds of winning are basically [-]% sure.

He has no time to be gentle with Xiaozhuang today, he has to go back and deploy troops.

Just as Dorgon got up to leave, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang whispered: "The Regent!"

Dorgon turned around, only to see that the face of the most beautiful woman in Manchuria was a little flushed, there was a stream of autumn water in her eyes, and her breathing became rapid.

Dorgon stepped forward to hug him.

Dorgon decided that he would lead his 5000 guards, [-] cavalry from the Zhengbai Banner, and [-] infantry from the Zhenghuang Banner, with a total force of [-] to go straight to Mengjiangnu Temple and kill Li Laiheng's troops.

Azig and other main forces entered Shanhaiguan according to the original plan and wiped out Li Zicheng's main force.

Of course, Dorgon predicted that the time to enter the customs must be the second day or the third day after he completely wiped out Li Laiheng's troops.It is impossible for Li Zicheng to officially attack Shanhaiguan with such a fast speed.

After the meeting, Dorgon hardly stopped, sneaking towards Meng Jiangnu Temple.They are going to enter the area early and set up ambushes in appropriate areas.His determination is not to let Li Laiheng escape without a single soldier.
