Hearing this, Kong Youde also subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of Guannei, a complicated look in his eyes flashed, turned his head, and responded respectfully: "Prince Heshuorui led 100,000 troops into the pass, and the harvest must be very much!" ”

"That's what I thought, too." Huang Taiji listened, nodded and said, "This time, I will come to deal with it personally, and the Ming army on this side of Shanhaiguan will definitely not have a single soldier enter the customs." Besides, I am relieved that he has always done things, and I believe that I can have the harvest I am looking forward to! ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Jinzhou City, and his face returned to seriousness: "No matter what, Jinzhou City still has to be tried." If reinforcements come from the Ming Dynasty, they will also try to eliminate them. Prepare! ”

"Slaves obey!" When Kong Youde heard this, he immediately responded, and decisively went back to urge his subordinates to prepare to bombard Jinzhou City.

Huang Taiji naturally didn't know that the Prince He Shuorui he was looking forward to, the Dolgon who had always reassured him in doing things, was in trouble at this time.

Originally, he didn't care about the Qin Wangjun in the south of the Ming Kingdom at all, and went to rest by himself. However, before he could wake up naturally, he was woken up by his guards.

"Master, the Ming army in the south is attacking fiercely, our army can't resist it, and it is only about twenty miles away from the Ming army's approach to Jinan City."

When he was first woken up, he thought that Lu Xiangsheng had come to trouble him. But thinking about it can't be so fast, it's a little confusing. Now that he heard that it was the army in the south of the Ming Kingdom, he was even more puzzled.

Dolgon was still a little sleepy, and he hadn't slept well for a long time, and he felt very tired when he slept this time. But at this time, as soon as he heard that it was only twenty miles away from Jinan City, he was awakened at once, and immediately got up from the marching bed, and asked with a stern face: "What's the matter, hasn't this king already ordered to send additional troops and horses to intercept and defeat the Ming army?" ”

If the Ming army is approaching Jinan, the city is still being looted, which is basically a chaotic situation where the soldiers cannot find the generals and will not be able to find the soldiers. It is difficult to issue military orders effectively, and if they are attacked by the Ming army, there will be chaos.

"Back to the master, it's not that there are no additional soldiers and horses, but this Ming army seems to be more elite than the Guanning army."

The Guanning army can be said to be the most elite of the Ming army, but when it encounters the Manchu army, it is often besieged and reinforced, as long as it is a field battle, it will be defeated! Generally speaking, the Guanning army is just defending the city.

But at this time, Dolgon heard that the Ming army was fierce in the field, and he heard that the Qing side seemed to have suffered a loss, which shocked him.

I saw that he immediately motioned to the other guards to put him on, and at the same time continued to ask: "Is there a flag to find out this Ming army?" How many centaurs are there? ”

"It has been ascertained that it is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty's own army, the banner of the Yongwei Battalion under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the number is about 12,000 people."

When Dolgon heard this, he stopped his movements and asked a little puzzled, "Brave Guard Battalion?" Is it that powerful? ”

At this moment, he was eager to find someone familiar with the situation and ask for specific information. However, Jin merchant Fan Yongdou has already returned. The general banner of the Jinyi Guard, who was captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, did not bring it, and stayed on Du Du's side, so there was no one to ask.

In fact, the Yongwei Battalion had not fought against the Manchu army before this, and had been suppressing thieves everywhere. Moreover, the original Yongwei Battalion, although it was also considered the elite of the Ming Dynasty, was not as desperate as it is now.

And now the reason why he is desperate is because of the will of Emperor Chongzhen, who killed Wang Zhixin and others in the front, and promoted Liu Yuanbin, Lu Jiude and others in the Yongwei Battalion, and also commended the two leading soldiers Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong, and told them that they would be rewarded after returning to Beijing.

In this case, whether it is the general army or the supervising army, they must perform well to repay the emperor. Therefore, when Jinan was broken by the Manchu army and the vassal king had an accident, that is, when their brave guard battalion was going to contribute, the performance on the battlefield was much more ferocious than before, and it was reasonable.

Getting the answer he wanted, Dorgon decided to go and see for himself.

Therefore, he immediately ordered to mobilize the reserve army outside the city, including 1,000 Manchu troops directly under him, 2,000 each of the Eight Mongol Banners and affiliated Mongolian tribes, a total of 5,000 men and horses, to the south.

Of course, before leaving, he also issued an order to hurry up the Manchu Eight Banners army and other armies that were looting in the city.

After leaving Jinan Mansion for about ten miles, I saw the figure of the Ming army not collecting at night. These nights are not collected, obviously bypassing the battlefield where the battle is being fought and finding out the military situation later.

Dolgon knew that the Ming Kingdom was too big, and it was unrealistic to send troops to drive these Ming troops away at night, and it was unrealistic to stop them all here, and not let them go to Jinan City. Therefore, he ignored it at all and led the army to continue south.

But before he had passed ten miles, Dorgon saw two armies fighting in front of him. Or it can be said that in fact, it was not a battle, but the Qing army retreated while fighting, and it was obviously inferior to the Ming army.

The Manchu army that went south to Jinan City was composed of three parts: the Manchu Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the affiliated Mongolian tribes. Dolgon led the army, and naturally it was impossible to treat everyone equally. Therefore, such a good thing as entering the city and looting will of course be biased towards the Manchu Eight Banners, followed by the Mongolian Eight Banners.

Therefore, the troops that remained on guard on the periphery and prepared were mostly people from the Mongol tribes. Most of the troops sent to stop the Ming were also affiliated with the Mongol tribes, and their combat effectiveness was the worst of the Manchu armies.

But even so, what he saw in front of him surprised Dolgon.

A "yellow" banner and a "Sun" banner were both in front of the battle, that is to say, the two general soldiers of this Ming army were both soldiers and led the charge. This led the soldiers of the Ming army to fight bravely.

When did the morale of the Ming army against the Qing army be so high?

Thinking like this, Dolgon immediately remembered a person, who was Lu Xiangsheng. This situation has only been seen on Lu Xiangsheng's side. Unexpectedly, there were two more in the Ming army.

Worried and could only be pressed temporarily, Dolgon immediately commanded his men to start fighting this Ming army. It was also after his new force arrived that he stabilized the battle situation, but he did not repel this Ming army.

Seeing that this Ming army was clearly armoured, and all of them were elite soldiers, Dorgon knew that more troops had to be drawn over.

However, now most of the army is looting in the city of Jinan, and it will not be able to withdraw for a while. Even if they withdraw, it is estimated that they will not have the military will fight to the death. What's worse is that after the Qing army attacked Jinan City, it has been rushing excitedly, and it has not taken a good rest. Originally, I thought that the Ming army would not react so quickly, so I didn't worry about the resting place.

Now that an elite battalion of brave guards has emerged so quickly, this matter is a bit tricky!
