Bai Qi said: "Don't worry, the Qing army will definitely not defend Beijing City." 【Latest chapter reading. Zhang Huangyan asked, "Why is this?" Bai Qi said: "Although the city of Beijing is strong, the Qing army has never paid attention to guarding the city, they lack the experience of defending the city, and more importantly, the people in Beijing will not be with them." Once the Qing army enters the city of Beijing, and our righteous army surrounds it on all sides, and the people in the city come to join forces with each other, the possibility of the Qing army being completely annihilated will be very high. So I don't think Dorgon will sit in the city and wait for us to attack it. ”

Liu Zongmin laughed: "In this case, what are we waiting for, just catch up." ”

Bai Qi glanced at everyone: "You must understand one thing, this chase is not an ordinary pursuit and escape, but a long-distance pursuit, we need people not to take off their armor, horses not to leave the saddle, may not even be able to eat." ”

Liu Zongmin didn't care: "We can't eat, the Qing army can't eat, at this time, it depends on who can grit their teeth and hold on." ”

Bai Qi said: "That's right, the armies listened, the commander gave this order, there was no change, up to the general, down to the pawns, all have to be chased up, even if the horse is tired to death, people have to pursue on foot, no matter how many days and nights, as long as the Qing army is not driven out of the pass, we will never collect troops." ”

When the people heard this, they all cried out with a loud voice: "Order." ”

So the coalition forces began a frantic pursuit battle. Dolgon was defeated all the way back to the camp, Wu Sangui opened the camp gate and took it in, but before they closed the gate, there were already many coalition soldiers and horses, followed by the Qing army's horse P shares into the camp, so that the Qing army could not close the camp gate, and the coalition brigade chased the soldiers in the back and immediately broke through the Qing army's village.

Before Dorgon could get off his horse, he heard the sound of killing at the gate of the camp, and when he looked up, there was a fire on the other side of the gate, mixed with earth-shattering shouts, and he did not know how many men and horses had been killed.

Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou also came to Dolgon's side, both of them had solemn faces, and they could hear that the pursuers had already followed and arrived.

Hong Chengchou said: "Lord Wang, we can't let the thieves break through the camp, then we won't be able to hold back." ”

Dorgon immediately ordered all the horses to turn back to meet the battle, and to drive the coalition forces out of the camp.

But the 100,000 horses of the Qing army and the Guanning army have just taken a breath, the horsepower and manpower are lacking, and in a hurry, they can't form an attack formation, but the coalition army has been killing all the way, and the morale is booming, especially the Dashun army, they are holding back the evil spirit in their stomachs, and want to avenge the last arrow. Hundreds of thousands of horses immediately swept the Qing army camp to pieces.

Dolgon saw that it was not good, and with red eyes, he commanded his subordinates to block the Qing army to the death. These Qing soldiers were also extremely brave, and although they were already sleepy, they still obeyed Dorgon's orders and stepped forward to fight to the death against the coalition army.

The Qing army rarely lost in the battle against the Han people, except for two defeats in the battle with Yuan Chonghuan in the past, almost a hundred battles were won. They rushed from outside the fortress to the vicinity of Beijing, attacked the city and plundered the land, plundered the population and property, and captured the entire Liaodong as if they were in a no-man's land, so they naturally did not take the Han army into account.

But Dolgon never expected that his battle would be so unfavorable, first of all, he didn't expect that the Qin army would be so tenacious, more than 20,000 people and horses under the command of Bai Qi, withstood the siege of his 60,000 army, and did not collapse, secondly, not only him, even Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui also believed that although the coalition army this time had many men and horses, it was just a rabble, and the detachments of men and horses would not form a cohesive force. When such men and horses start a war, they will definitely not be able to mobilize and will not respond to each other.

But when the battle really started, the Qing army found that among the coalition forces, led by the Qin army, each army was not as vulnerable as they imagined, and Bai Qi was well arranged, and all armies also obeyed his orders. Where is the performance of a rabble?

The reason why the coalition forces have such a fighting spirit is rooted in the Qin army commanded by Bai Qi, who has been setting an example for all armies. He took the lead in crossing the river, which had already made the armies very admired, and only then did he drag down the main force of the Qing army with a lone army, so that the Qing army lost its ability to maneuver. This is in the eyes of everyone. I had to take it.

With such a commander-in-chief, the armies were willing to be commanded by him.

In addition, there is another point, that is, the hatred of the Han people. As a barbarian, the Qing army is naturally unpopular, and although the various tribes in the Central Plains have such and such festivals, they all regard the Qing army as their enemies rather than allies. Therefore, although the Qing army was powerful, it was alone in the depths. There is no rear, there is no foundation.

Bai Qi saw this, so he rushed and struck hard, not giving the Qing army a chance to gain a foothold.

As more and more coalition troops rushed into the Qing army camp, the battle situation began to become extremely unfavorable to the Qing army, because many horses and horses in the Dashun army had not been desperately killed, and they were considered to be a new force. And the Qing army has been fighting continuously and is physically exhausted.

Hong Chengchou watched from a distance, his brows furrowed more and more, he could see that the Qing army was gradually unable to support it, and if it continued to fight, the losses would become bigger and bigger, and the consequences would be unimaginable. So he whispered beside Dolgon: "Lord Wang, we can't fight like this, we should abandon the camp and retreat to Beijing." ”

Dorgon gritted his teeth, grimaced, and said nothing. He knew that as long as he gave the order to retreat, this battle would be completely defeated, and when he saw Huang Taiji in the future, how would he explain?

But he knew better that if he didn't withdraw his troops at this time, once he was surrounded by coalition forces, he would definitely suffer heavy losses, and he would not be able to explain to Huang Taiji at that time. At this time, no matter how you weigh the pros and cons, you must first try to keep the people as much as possible.

So Dolgon had no choice but to give the order to retreat on all fronts and take the road to the north.

At this order, 3,000 iron cavalry guards escorted Dolgon, passed through the camp, and fled in the direction of Beijing.

Immediately afterwards, the Qing army began to flee on all fronts. Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou led the Guanning army, and also followed Dolgon non-stop, all the way to the north.

When the Qing army no longer resisted, the morale of the coalition army was greatly boosted, and Bai Qi issued orders in succession, and all the horses rushed up to chase and annihilate the fleeing enemy, and they must not be lazy, which dared to stagnate, stay at will, and be beheaded on the spot.

So on the land north of the Yellow River, there was an extremely tragic and spectacular scene, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses ran away from me, and they did not stop for a moment, the smoke and dust rolled, covering the sky and the earth, flying sand and rocks, and the wind was roaring. Everywhere are two soldiers and horses fleeing and chasing, on the ground within a radius of dozens of miles, from time to time there are Qing troops surrounded by the coalition army, the two sides clash, neighing together, the coalition army is like a hunting killer, and the Qing army is like a trapped beast, it is also extremely vicious, every time it chases a part of the Qing army, the coalition army wants to strangle it, it has to pay a considerable price, and sometimes even more people die than the Qing army.

Bai Qi commanded his men and horses to chase after the fleeing enemy, while carefully observing the reaction of the Qing army. He found that these Qing troops were indeed powerful, and even in the process of fleeing, they did not show fear of death. Once surrounded or chased, immediately turn over and plunge into battle, fight with the coalition forces with red eyes, and fight until the end falls to the ground and dies, and never surrenders.

In the face of such an enemy, a sense of luck rose in Bai Qi's heart.

If it weren't for Dolgon's initiative to attack the coalition forces, and then separated his men and horses, giving himself a chance, how could this battle have been won so smoothly? Once the Qing army and the Guanning army huddle together, defend the camp, block the coalition army, and then send men and horses to attack the coalition army's grain route, it will not take a few days for the coalition army's grain and grass to be cut off, and the result of this battle may be rewritten.

Bai Qi is a person who either does not do it, or does it, in the Battle of Changping that year, after he buried 400,000 people of the Zhao army alive, he immediately proposed to the then King of Qin to capture Handan, the capital of Zhao State. If the King of Qin had not listened to Fan Ju's advice and had agreed to Bai Qi's idea, then Zhao would most likely have become the first great power to perish.

At this time, Bai Qi was lucky, because when he went on the expedition, King Qin once said to his face that all wars should not be reported, and he was in charge. This King of Qin was a wise monarch who dared to delegate power and let him do it. Therefore, Bai Qi can have no scruples, everything is to win, any Y move, dangerous move, can be used with confidence.

At this time, Bai Qi saw that the Qing army had withdrawn, and he sneered in his heart, and it was rumored that the horses rushed forward desperately and killed every Qing soldier who was caught up.

At this time, there is no point in capturing alive. To capture an enemy soldier alive, two coalition soldiers are required to guard it. This will greatly weaken the power of the coalition forces. Moreover, Bai Qi's temper is to kill people without blinking, and 400,000 surrendered soldiers can be buried alive in a day, not to mention those enemies on the battlefield who refuse to disarm.

Killing is the cleanest.

In fact, this order has little effect on the coalition forces that have already killed the red-eyed, they have no intention of letting them live in the face of the barbarians, and even if they don't have a white kill order, they don't intend to spare their lives.

So the coalition army chased all the way, killed all the way, and the corpses of the Qing army and the coalition army were all over the road.

The Qing army began to retreat north from the camp and fled past Anyang and into the territory of Zhili. They ran hundreds of miles for two days in a row, but the coalition forces still had no intention of relaxing, and they still chased after them. The Qing army had no choice, it had already run so far that it was impossible to hold its foot, so Dolgon had to order his men and horses to escape in multiple ways and rendezvous in the city of Beijing.

For several days, the coalition army pursued the fleeing enemy, it was really people who did not take off their armor, horses did not leave the saddle, who was tired of chasing, the horses could not run, so they stopped to rest for a while, hastily ate some dry food, fed the horses, and then continued to chase, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses were always chasing the Qing army, which made the Qing army finally begin to panic and begin to collapse.
