As soon as the sky was bright, Huang Taiji's Luan drove to the battlefield.

He shrugged his nose, only to feel a large smell of blood and sulfur penetrate his nostrils, making him almost gag, and he endured it because of the face of the dignified emperor.

The Minister of the Interior, Ji Bilong, said: "Your Majesty, the servants have counted it, and there are many casualties in the battalions of the Eight Banners, no less than 10,000 people......

The green tendons under the golden helmet of Huang Taiji burst out, but they still didn't come out, and his tone of voice was still quite calm, and he said, "How many are more than 10,000 people?" Is it ten thousand or eighty thousand? ”

Although his tone was steady, it was difficult to hide the strong killing intent, and the Eight Banners Gushan Ezhen who knelt in front of him didn't even dare to let out the atmosphere.

Even his own imperial camp was kicked over, and the spear of the Ming army almost stabbed his head, how could Huang Taiji not be angry?

"Back to the emperor, the slave will go to investigate in detail......." Ji Bilong wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly retreated.

The number of casualties that the dog slave finally counted made Huang Taiji feel distressed, the Eight Banners Army lost 15,000 people in this battle, if he didn't feel much distress in peacetime, but many of the dead and wounded tonight were his subordinates under the Yellow Banner.

Even Tang Gugu, the general of Zhenguo Kejie, was killed on the spot and had his head cut off, that was his fourth brother.

There is also Zhenghuang Banner Baya Lama Zhangjing Zhangjing Tulai, Huang Taiji's forehead Dorji, all died in battle, how can he not feel distressed with blood?

At this time, the Minister of the Interior, Sonny, led the army, trotted all the way and knelt down, saying: "Slave Sonny is too late to save the driver, please punish the emperor!" ”

Not long after, a few more Eight Banner generals came to lead the army, and they all came to ask for their guilt.

Everyone has been away for a long time before they come to the rescue, what do they eat?

Huang Taiji had a gloomy face, looked at the Eight Banners generals who were kneeling down, and roared: "Get out of here!" ”

He was now curious to know how the Tianwu Army had beaten the elite of his Zhenghuang Banner into the bird in front of him.

……

Cao Bianjiao passed out halfway back to Haizhou City, and after being carried back to Haizhou by everyone, he finally woke up slowly after first aid.

His injuries were severe, with several arrow wounds that pierced through his armor and several knife wounds that penetrated deep into his flesh, but his life didn't matter.

Zhu Cihong came to visit him in person, gave him the first credit, and instructed his guards to send Cao Bianjiao to Jinzhou City for treatment.

In the city of Haizhou, the joy of victory in the great battle was permeated from top to bottom of the Chinese army, and only the brigade commander Gao Bang was sullen and very dissatisfied with this inexplicable retreat.

Sun Yingyuan came to his side and punched him hard, and said, "Look at you like this, where do you still look like you are returning triumphantly." ”

Gao Bang was a rough man, he said angrily: "Master Shuai, we have won, but we can obviously expand the results of the battle, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly order the troops to be withdrawn, the last general is so unwilling!" ”

Several other brigade commanders nodded in unison, also feeling uncomfortable.

Zhao Jinglin also said: "If Huang Shishuai is changed here, he will definitely be angry, haha!" ”

The generals have a deep understanding of Huang Degong's violent temper, and in such a big war, Huang Degong is holding back in Jiangnan, and I don't know if there will be something wrong.

Sun Yingyuan said: "Gentlemen, don't question the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, like this kind of public questioning of military orders, this commander does not want to appear a second time!" ”

Everyone's faces froze, but Gao Bang still smiled and said: "Master Marshal, I remember that you were the most anxious in front of the battle at that time, I heard that you also picked up the herald for questioning!" ”

The generals in the tent laughed and made a few jokes.

Seeing Gao Bang's indifferent attitude, Sun Yingyuan said with a straight face: "It was the marshal who made a mistake in a hurry, and the marshal would apologize to the herald." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately put away their smiles, not understanding why Sun Shishuai was like this, and Gao Bang also listened with a serious face.

Sun Yingyuan swept to the generals and said: "This marshal didn't understand the meaning of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at first, but now that I think about it, it has a deep meaning to collect troops. ”

Zhao Jinglin was puzzled: "I don't know what the meaning is?" Please give me the instructions. ”

Sun Yingyuan said: "With the situation at that time, we can't eliminate so many Tartar soldiers, the sky is about to brighten, and then the surrounding Tartar army will react and will definitely fight back with all their might, my Tianwu army has been exhausted after fighting in the middle of the night, if it drags on for a while and a half, I am afraid that the advantages and disadvantages of the situation are unknown." ”

Sun Yingyuan patiently explained: "The Tartars have deployed more than 100,000 troops around Anshan Post Fort, and our Tianwu Army has only 50,000 troops after dividing the troops. ”

Although Gao Bang didn't speak, he already agreed with this statement in his heart, and only heard Sun Yingyuan say again: "This time in Pingliao, the casualties of our Tianwu army have been nearly 10,000, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not want us to lose our troops and make too many sacrifices." ”

Gao Bang was puzzled: "How can there be immortals in war, the soldiers of my Tianwu Army are proud of dying in battle!" Not a death-scared person! ”

Sun Yingyuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "The style of my Tianwu Army, there is no doubt about it, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the king, he thinks more about politics, as long as the strategic goal is achieved, it is naturally best to lose the least, if the nail of Anshan Post Fort is forcibly pulled out, our losses will be great, and it is best for the slave chief to take the initiative to withdraw the army." ”

Gao Bang gasped and exclaimed: "I see, Your Highness is really far-sighted and benevolent......"

Mao Yuanyi nodded, agreed, and said, "I believe that after this battle, the Slave Chief Emperor Taiji should be able to retire, unless he wants to fight a decisive battle with us, which is the result we are most looking forward to." ”

Gao Bang and other generals of the Tianwu Army looked at Sun Yingyuan's eyes full of admiration, this Sun Shishuai's consciousness is really high, no wonder the crown prince has always relied on him, it is not unreasonable for people to be masters, high consciousness and loyalty, such a person is not allowed to be promoted.

Sun Yingyuan said again: "So the marshal doesn't want to have any more questioning of His Royal Highness the Prince's military orders in the army, with the precedent of you and me questioning the military orders, the army will inevitably go up and down, and when the time comes, a character will question the military orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, if an atmosphere is formed in the long run, where is the prestige of His Royal Highness the Prince?" What is the use of the military regulations of the Tianwu Army? If it's at a critical moment, it might be a big deal! ”

Hearing Sun Yingyuan's words so alarmist, all the generals did not refute it, and they were all thinking very seriously.

Gao Bang sighed with a gloomy expression: "This person, the higher the status, the heavier the responsibility, and the more things to consider, it's really not easy, I just hate myself for reading a few years less!" ”

Li Shaoyou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Gao, when the war is over, let's go to the Royal Military Academy to make up for the lessons?" ”

Gao Bang nodded and said, "That's a good idea, it's okay!" ”

Someone quipped: "You two are both brigade commanders, don't behave as well as those captains and sentry commanders under your hands, lose your old face in the Royal Military Academy, and also disgrace our brigade commanders!" ”

"Hahaha!" There was laughter in the tent.

Two days later, the Qing army camp rose up, retreated in an orderly manner, and abandoned Anshan Post Fort.

I heard that Huang Taiji had a nosebleed again, so he still rode on a war horse and took a bowl to show his imperial image.

Knowing that the Qing army had withdrawn, Zhu Cihong completely understood that the Qing army still did not dare to fight a decisive battle.

Zhu Cihong immediately ordered the Tianwu army to drive straight in, stationed in Anshan Post Fort, and after a short repair for two days, approached Liaoyang again.

Liaoyang used to be the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and its location was extremely important, if Liaoyang was lost, Shengjing would be completely exposed to the Ming army.
