Abatai's army fled to Hexiwu, forty miles away from Xincheng, where 6,000 Qing soldiers were stationed to defend the Ming army in Langfang and Wuqing to prevent them from encircling Baodi.

When Tanma reported that a large number of Qing soldiers were pursued and killed by the Ming army, all the Qing soldiers in Hexi immediately dispatched to rescue Abatai's headquarters and were responsible for covering the back.

Seeing that the Qing army had reinforcements coming, Sun Yingyuan immediately ordered to stop the pursuit, and the whole army returned to Xincheng and chased forty miles.

When he arrived in Hexiwu, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, as the Belle of the Qing Dynasty, the son of Nurhachi, was actually chased and killed by the Ming army for forty miles!

The other party's dirty style of play, so that he felt aggrieved and abnormal, there was an indescribable anger, after hearing that the loss of this battle was more than 10,000, Abatai directly fainted with black eyes and fell to the ground unconscious.

Bo Hezhen and the other Jiala and Niu Lu were all taken aback when they saw it, and hurriedly found a military doctor to see Abatai, who beat his back and pinched people, so he almost slapped Abatai's face, and finally woke Abatai up after tossing for a long time.

After prescribing a few pairs of medicines, the military doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and retreated.

Although Abatai was seriously ill, he couldn't take care of recuperation, so he hurriedly asked the whole army to retreat to Baodi, and sent someone to contact the commander of the Qing army, Azig, so that he could prepare for the exit as soon as possible.

At this time, Azig was in the city of Baodi, and his life was very nourishing, enjoying the delicacies of the mountains and seas made by the Han people every day, drinking fine wine, and sleeping with the families of Ming officials at night, which was a little fun.

Although the Qing army also snatched a lot of people and things from the Ming Kingdom in previous years, and the living habits began to move closer to the Han people, it was not until this time that Azig enjoyed the life of the upper class of the Ming Kingdom, and he had to admit that the real rich life of the Han people was indeed comfortable.

Don't look at the Han people to fight, but enjoy it, there is indeed a set, the house where they live is big and spacious, and they have caught up with their own county palaces.

And the craftsmanship of the Han people is different, the same is chicken, duck and fish, the taste made by the Han people is delicious, not to mention the wine, fragrant and mellow, this is the life of people!

Azig even thought that now that the Ming army is not vulnerable at all, he must persuade Huang Taiji to raise troops to attack the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible and enter the Central Plains, so that he can spend his old age in peace and enjoy the life of the Han people.

But just as Azig was feeling emotional, he got the news that Abatai and Yanguli had returned from the new city.

Azig couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect that there were two people in Abatai and Yanguli to suppress the formation, and there were 30,000 troops, and they couldn't help a small new city, and they lost tens of thousands of soldiers, including more than 4,000 Manchurian soldiers of the Eight Banners.

Azig said hatefully: "It's better for this Yanguli to die, if he wasn't a henchman of the starling, this king would have beheaded him as early as Zhuozhou!" How can he let him lose thousands of my elites of the Eight Banners, as well as my two white flags! ”

Azig hated Yanguli, and at the same time was afraid that the Ming army was so fierce that not only Yanguli was slaughtered, but even Abatai, who had always been cunning and steady, was defeated.

Azig no longer cared about pleasure, and ordered Abatai to hurry to Baodi and ask him about the battle in person.

Two hours later, Abatai arrived at Baodi and told him in detail about the battle of Xincheng.

Looking at the pale-faced Abatai, Azig was silent for a long time, such an army with many artillery pieces and excellent firearms, coupled with the dirty fighting style of the main general, it is normal to lose.

Azig pondered for a long time before he said, "Seventh brother, let's go back like this?" ”

Abatai nodded and said, "It's been a few months since we sent our troops, and there have been a lot of things and people to grab, and the soldiers are also homesick, so I think we should immediately withdraw our troops back to Guanwai and go back to Daqing." ”

He also said: "This time, our losses are too great, almost all of the Eight Banners Han Army has been lost, the Mongolian tribesmen and savage tribesmen have also lost most of them, and even the Eight Banners Mongolia and our Manchurian soldiers have also suffered great losses. ”

Abatai felt that he was completely finished, this time, the loss of the banners was too great, these Manchurian Eight Banners armor soldiers, auxiliaries, followers and coats are the private strength of the banner owners, he didn't know how to explain to the banner owners after he went back.

Especially the blue flag owner Hauge, the white flag owner Dorgon, and the white flag owner Duoduo, these three flags have suffered the worst losses, they are all prince-level figures, will they let themselves go? Thinking of this, Abatai was anxious.

Azig is also thinking about this problem, after all, Dolgon and Duoduo are the younger brothers of his mother's compatriots, and if there is any loss of the two white flags, it will affect the status of his two elder brothers in the court.

In the entire battle of attacking Ming, the Qing army lost about 40,000 troops, while the loss of the Manchu Eight Banner soldiers was only a few thousand, and on the whole, it was still within an acceptable range.

After the Huang Taiji Eight Banners system, the Qing army and the Ming army have always been pioneers to make cannon fodder siege battles, the first wave is the Eight Banners Han Army, the second wave is the Mongolian tribal soldiers, the third wave is the Northeast tribesmen (the Manchurians call them savages), the fourth wave is the Eight Banners Mongolian soldiers, and finally the Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers go into battle, so each time the Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers lose the least.

After the two discussed and confirmed, Azig immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army overnight, and at the same time ordered someone to notify the Qing army stationed in Pinggu to join his men and horses, return north together, and exit the pass from Lengkou.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Cihong received the news that the Qing army was retreating and preparing to leave the customs in the new city, and had already crossed through the middle of Jizhou and Yutian.

Zhu Cihong was speechless for a moment, and the defenders of Jizhou and Yutian watched the Qing army brigade go away from under their noses?

Ma Rulong and Zu Dale in Jizhou did watch the Qing army retreat from Jizhou with a large amount of heavy grain, grass and population, and the Qing army had too many horses, so they didn't dare to go out of the city to pursue and harass at all.

"This Zu Dale really kept his promise and didn't run .......away" Zhu Cihong sighed, although he regretted that the defenders of Jizhou couldn't hold it back, but he was not in a hurry.

There are only two or three places that can get out of the customs, and according to the direction of the Qing army, there is only the cold mouth of Jianchang, and the cold mouth is more than 300 miles away from Baodi, and the Qing army needs at least eight days to reach the cold mouth with heavy baggage, and the Ming army pursues lightly, and it will not take a few days to catch up before it leaves the customs.

In Xincheng, Zhu Cihong held a post-war summary meeting, which was attended by the generals of the Yongwei Battalion and the Xinying Battalion, and made a comprehensive summary of the battle.

Wang Wannian and Zhang Shize were fortunate to be invited to observe, and at first they felt very new to this kind of meeting, and as the meeting progressed, they realized how powerful this kind of summary would be.

According to statistics, a total of 11,000 enemies were killed in this battle, plus more than 2,000 people who broke Yanguli and blocked the gate, and more than 5,000 people who defended the city before, a total of 18,000 enemies were killed.

The main reason is that Abatai was too cautious, and he was in a hurry to withdraw his troops as soon as the battle began, so that the Ming army opened up the position but did not have a chance to expand the results, but he killed a lot in the later pursuit battle.

The Ming army also suffered a lot of losses in this battle, the four battalions lost more than 3,500 people, Zhu Cihong ordered the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle to be sent to the Jingshi Cemetery for burial, and the spirit card was put into the Loyal Soul Temple, and the new battalion was compensated according to the standard of the Yongwei Battalion.

Zhu Cihong wrote a detailed war report and sent it to Cao Huachun in Shunyi City, asking him to send someone to the palace after seeing it.

After the summary meeting, Zhu Cihong received another news: Lu Xiangsheng and the Tianxiong army had arrived near Daxing City, and they would arrive in Xincheng tomorrow.

Note: Some book friends say that the losses that a battle can bear are only 5%-10%, and the thousands of losses of the Qing army in this book feel too fake, so I will briefly explain here:

In the Han and Tang dynasties, there were often a dozen battle losses in the wars against the surrounding countries, that was because the equipment of the Han people in the Han and Tang dynasties crushed the periphery, and there were often holes where you eat my arrow, and I eat you with an arrow just the armor is damaged, and I have nothing to do with this kind of crushing.

Later, the turbulent times of the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasty accelerated the speed of the surrounding countries to absorb the Han civilization, and in the Yuan Dynasty, it almost leveled the scientific and technological level of East Asian countries.

As we all know, there will also be a collapse line in the collapse, and it is generally believed that the normal army in ancient times was one percent, that is, it collapsed when there were 10,000 dead and wounded and 1,000.

The collapse is a process, and it also takes time to overcome, after all, it takes time to transform from being inspired to be courageous and charging with a decisive mentality to being defeated by huge battle losses.

In the Han Dynasty, the combat power of equipment crushing allowed the enemy to collapse before their morale subsided, and the collapse at this time brought only a slaughtering attack.

Just like playing the game and fighting the boss in several stages, 10,000 people are theoretically killed and wounded and 1,000 people will be defeated, but the Han army directly output the table, from the first battle stage to the second stalemate stage and the second collapse stage, and directly to the fourth slaughter stage.

In the later Song and Ming dynasties, there was no combat effectiveness brought by equipment superiority, so they had to fight stage by stage, and the natural battle damage was not good-looking, and the death of one achievement collapsed and was defeated.

The reason for this is that the battlefield is injured, as long as there is time for a stalemate, then the wounded can either escape, or be taken back for treatment, or be dragged back by their partners, resulting in a less exaggerated battle loss ratio between the two sides.

Normal soldiers who don't have a full-map vision can only see that our side is dying and the enemy is also dying, so naturally it will not become a situation like the Han Dynasty where our side is dying one by one, and the enemy occasionally lies down one or two.

Similarly, the Yongwei Battalion and the New Battalion use sophisticated firearms and armor, which are absolutely crushing in terms of equipment, coupled with strict tactical coordination, plus the advantage of range, it is still very easy to defeat the Qing soldiers with cold weapons with hot weapons.

The above views are summarized in the book "From the Yellow River Civilization to the Belt and Road", I hope it will be helpful for everyone to understand.
