30,000 Qing troops were mighty, and they came straight to Haicheng from Shengjing, they wanted to recapture Haicheng and completely repel the Ming detectives.

A few days ago, the army of King Qin of Mobei Mongolia arrived, a big battle outside Shengshangjing, the Ming army suffered an unprecedented defeat, the Qing army won more with less, and annihilated 50,000 Ming troops in a battle, resulting in more than 200,000 Ming troops routing more than 100 miles, and the danger of Shengjing was temporarily solved.

In that battle, the camel cannon and ironclad heavy cavalry of Mobei Mongolia, such an invincible combination, advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, attacked and defended freely, and 10,000 horses played their long-lost morale, so that the children of the Eight Banners regained the feeling of being invincible in the world.

The booty, knives, spears, instruments, gongs, drums, tents, livestock, horses, grain, silver, and other military supplies were all piled up, and they went to Beijing for three days to pull them all.

It can be said that this is the first time since the Battle of Shanhaiguan that they have achieved such a major victory.

What made them even more ecstatic was that this time the Qing army also captured 50 Hongyi cannons of the Ming army, as well as a considerable amount of shells and explosives.

Among these fifty cannons, some of the Hongyi cannons were blown up by their camel running team, some could be used with a little repair, and some could be used directly.

The Qing Dynasty is now short of artillery, when it came to the first year of Shunzhi, the Qing Dynasty had caught up with the Ming Dynasty in firearms, and the unique firearms advantage of the Ming Dynasty no longer existed.

In the past, the era when they only relied on archers and horses to win in the field was over, and with the courage of the Eighth Cavalry Army and the indiscriminate bombardment of the heavy troops of Wuzhen Chaoha, they were sure of the field battles and offensive and defensive battles of the Qing Dynasty, and felt that it would not be a problem to deal with the Han people of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Dolgon set a strategic plan to knock on the pass and go south to win the Central Plains. The first battle of Shanhaiguan Dolgon was originally seamless, not only played Li Zicheng of the Dashun army, but also played with Wu Sangui, the remnant of the Ming Dynasty, outside the Shanhaiguan, Dolgon played a trick of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.

But he didn't expect to meet a nemesis, Lin Yi, and finally he Dolgon realized that he was not the yellow finch behind the scenes, and the Ming army led by Lin Yi was the yellow finch behind the praying mantis and cicadas.

Since that battle, the Qing army has been defeated all the way, has been defeated into the Beijing division, they rely on the Hongyi artillery has also been heavily damaged, especially the battle of the Sancha River and the fall of Haicheng, so that their heavy artillery unit Wuzhen Chaoha almost completely annihilated, now they only have only a hundred red-coated cannons, and most of them are installed on the battlements of the city wall of the Beijing division, becoming a cannon defense system that cannot be lightly moved.

Although Mobei Mongolia was incorporated into the Qing Dynasty, the army of King Qin was so important to them that the battle killed the 200,000 troops of the Ming army, who now have hundreds of camel cannons of incredible power.

But in terms of power alone, the power of the camel cannon and the red-coated cannon cannot be compared, its range and lethality are somewhat inferior, the power of the camel cannon can be comparable to the thousand-pound Franc machine at most, mainly because of its strong mobility, it is just an upgraded version of the tiger squat cannon, and it is really time to gnaw hard bones to attack the fortification, and the camel cannon cannot replace the red-coated cannon at all.

Hundreds of red-coated cannons concentrated on one place, capable of blowing down heavy walls that other cannons could not match.

Now there are less than 100 red-coated cannons that can be mobile in the Qing Dynasty, and the lack of red-coated cannons is like a car-free family for the Qing army who are accustomed to using red-coated cannons, and suddenly there is no car, and that feeling is something that the car-free people can't experience at all.

Now there are 50 red-coated cannons from the Ming army, and there are 145 red-coated cannons that can be pulled out to fight. Coupled with hundreds of camel cannons and 30,000 elite Qing troops, the strength is also extraordinary.

Although the number of 30,000 horses is not much, but for the Manchu Eight Banners Army, this is a considerable strength of the army, because in history in 1644, when Dolgon led the army south, there were only more than 50,000 people in the Manchurian Eight Banners, and the remaining 100,000 people were Mongolian Tartars, as well as the traitor team surrendered by the Ming Dynasty, they became the Han Eight Banners, and there were also auxiliary troops sent by the dynasty.

Now they have 30,000 troops, plus so much artillery, and they have just won for a while, enough reason for them to think that the spring that belongs to them has come again, and the time has come for a big counteroffensive.

10,000 Mobei Mongol troops defeated the 200,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty, let alone 30,000? Anyone would think so, let alone the Manchu authorities headed by the ambitious Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang?

In addition, although they had just won a major victory, Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang did not dare to sit back and relax, because the Ming army did not completely retreat, and still camped under their noses, and there was no essential difference between the Ming army approaching the Qing Dynasty for more than ten miles and approaching more than 100 miles, and they still felt a huge threat.

An army of more than 100,000 people wandered at their doorstep, how could these Manchu Tartars tolerate it, and how could they allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

When will they be able to drive the Ming army outside the Ningjin defense line, or even rush to the Guannai, and restore it to the state of their little emperor Shunzhi ascending the throne, they will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, now, of course, the Manchu authorities do not dare to expect to knock on the border and go south to the Central Plains.

The battle has come to this point, they don't have to reassess their strength, the current situation is still a lack of military commanders, and they feel fortunate to be able to keep the banner of the Qing Dynasty from falling, if they can restore the original territory, this is undoubtedly the blessing of the ancestors and ancestors in the spirit of heaven.

But now they still don't want to admit defeat, Lin Yi's conditions are too harsh, not only do they bow down, but they simply want them to destroy the country and destroy the species!

So Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Hyo-trun, after a few days of small celebrations of this victory, set out with their dreams and ambitions of 30,000 troops.

This time it was still Dolgon's personal expedition, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Ning Wan I, Suke Hasa, Kubilong, etc. stayed in Beijing with thousands of men and horses, and followed the regent Dolgon on the expedition with the great traitor Fan Wencheng, the fierce generals Bolo, Sony, and Xihan, and the Mongolian generals Tieshu Buhua, Subutai, etc.

However, the 20,000 horses led by Dolgon, as the main force of the Chinese army, walked behind. In front of the road were 10,000 soldiers and horses from Mobei Mongolia and Horqin, and the pioneer officer who led the troops was still Wu Keshan, the brother of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

The chief general of Mobei Mongolia, that is, the commander of the camel artillery team, is the general Min Min Temur under the Mobei Mongol Khan Wang Shuolei.

As soon as the 30,000 Qing troops left Beijing, they received the news that the Ming army had withdrawn from the camp and retreated 60 and 60 miles.

Dolgon and Wu Keshan both had smug smiles on their faces when they heard this, oh, ran away? If you run 60 miles, will you be able to finish with you? Keep marching!

The 30,000 troops continued to advance the front dozens of miles apart.

After walking more than 70 miles, it was dark. Because these 30,000 Qing troops, whether they were the 10,000 vanguard in front or the 20,000 main force of the Chinese army in Dolgon, they were not the original Manchu light cavalry, they all belonged to the heavy army.

Needless to say, the 3000 ironclad cavalry of the Mongolian Horqin Division is typical of the heavily armed ironclad cavalry. Since both men and horses are wearing thick iron clothes, the weight is invisibly increased, and the speed is definitely not fast, and it is difficult to last for a while.

Those camel soldiers were originally walking more slowly, and there were cannons on the backs of the camels, and Dorgon's 20,000 main forces also pulled more than 100 red-coated cannons, not to mention that the speed of the camels was far less than that of the war horses, and they would not come and go like the wind like light cavalry with these baggage alone.

In this way, they walked more than 130 miles in one day without stopping, and it was dark. The Qing army had no choice but to temporarily set up camp.

On the second day, after a full meal of war, the Qing army pulled out the camp and continued to march.

This time, he did not go out of more than ten miles, and Tanma came to report again, indicating that the army had withdrawn again, and all of them had gone to Haicheng, which was less than 70 miles away from Haicheng.

The combined forces of Mobei Mongolia and Horqin, the supreme commanders of the 10,000 horses, Wu Keshan and Min Min Temur, heard that the Ming army was simply fleeing from the wind, and it seemed that the battle outside Beijing was scared, hahaha.

In particular, Wu Keshan laughed on his back, and ordered his subordinates to speed up the march, and they must take Haicheng today!

These Mongol soldiers were as carried away as he was, having just won a great victory, and now the Ming army was fleeing in sight, so they accelerated their march one by one with the attitude of victors.

After walking more than 20 miles, a few miles ahead of the official road, there appeared a forest, a large area of lush greenery from a distance, and beyond that, there was a wilderness, on which occasionally a person's tall artemisia grass and sparse trees could be seen.

At this time, Dolgon sent people to warn Wu Keshan, saying that Lin Yi was scheming, and told him to be careful not to fall for the Ming army's plan to lure the enemy.

When Wu Keshan and Min Min Temur heard this, they laughed wildly again, where is the ambush? Where are the ambushes? Wu Keshan shook his head on the horse, looking proud of the world.

Min Min Temoor, pouting and looking around, the sound of the wind blowing in the treetops was the sound of nature.

Wu Keshan and these people were funny in their hearts, it seems that this regent Dolgon was really scared by Lin Yi, but no matter how afraid he was, what a big loss did he suffer from them? turned out to be a frightened bird, the Ming army is now looking at the wind, and it is still so cautious, walking on thin ice, poor and lamentable regent!

But then again, my father hopes that he will set up an ambush here, so that he can have a happy battle here, and it is best for Lin Yi to be here, so as to eliminate him in one battle, save me from going to Haicheng to find him again, and get rid of the big trouble in my Qing Dynasty!

Wu Keshan thought so, and did not take Dolgon's warning to heart at all, and the team continued to move forward at the same speed.

At this time, the team in front suddenly stopped, and Wu Keshan was about to ask what happened, when someone came to report that there was a knife on the road ahead.

Wu Keshan was also surprised, and he and Minmin Temur rode to the front with the guards.

"Look at the two adults!" Wu Keshan's personal soldier pointed forward.

Wu Keshan was originally the prince of the Horqin Department of Mongolia, and now his own sister has become the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang. Therefore, his status in the Qing Dynasty was prominent, similar to that of the Emperor of a country.

This Minmin Temur's status is not low, in Mobei Mongolia he was the banner commander of Chechen Khan Shuolei, and now he came to Shengjing, with his camel artillery team to fight such a big victory, Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang personally received him. Celebrated and rewarded for his merits, and personally crowned him as the left servant of the Qing Dynasty's military department, of course, this is the use of the Ming system, the second rank of the court.

Wu Keshan and Min Min Muttle's eyes widened, and they looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and there was a knife standing in the middle of the official road in front of them.

This big knife has a majestic shape, it is a green dragon glaive big knife, the blade is as wide as a small door, and the back of the knife is more than three inches thick. There was a deep blood groove on both sides, and the snow-bright blade shone in the sunlight, striking people's eyes.

The head of the whole knife is calculated from the tip of the knife, and the connection between the knife and the blade is more than 1 foot 5 inches, and the blade is the thickness of the mouth of a teacup, and the pattern embroidered on it is the green dragon of Yangwen.

This big knife is the treasure of the knife at first glance, and it must not be light in size.

The head of the knife rises to the sky, and the knife is buried in the soil below.

It was obvious that this must have been done by the Ming army, so their men did not dare to move forward and stopped for the time being.

Wu Keshan and Min Min Temur also raised their vigilance when they saw this, but they didn't care at all, they rolled their two pairs of wolf eyes, and looked at the woods not far in front of them and the wilderness outside, could it be that there was really an ambush of the Ming army near here?

But if only that were the case! What can they do if they have an ambush, it's a big deal to teach them a lesson like they did a few days ago outside Shengshangjing, isn't the defeat of the Ming army bad enough in the battle outside Shengshangjing?

The thought of this battle made them raise their eyebrows. In addition, the knife in front of them made them angry.

If you have an ambush, you can launch a surprise attack, kill it by surprise, or trap it and flood it with fire, so you can come as you like!

What is this now, make a broken knife stand in the middle of the road, so it is mysterious.

Wu Keshan thought like this, and pursed his mouth again: "Who used to pull out this knife for me!"

"Lord Wang, if you are not talented, you are willing to draw a knife!"

As soon as Wu Keshan's voice fell, one of the guards Niu Luzhen came out, "Drive!" "This Mongolian Niu Lu really whipped the horse's back with a horsewhip, like an arrow and rushed towards it like this green dragon glaive.

At this time, there were several patches of artemisia grass in front of the woods two or three hundred meters away from them, sparse and sparse, each of which grew as large as an umbrella cover, some one person high, some half a person high, lush, very lush, and like a few large green mushrooms, dotted on the green grassy meadow.

Next to these large green mushrooms, a few meters apart, there is a tree, this tree is as thick as a person hugging each other, and the high canopy is as large as a giant canopy.

No one noticed that inside these large green mushrooms and giant umbrella covers, several muskets were already aiming.

The Mongolian Niu Lu who volunteered had just rushed out, and he had not yet reached the front of the Qinglongyan Moon Knife.

At this moment, a crisp gunshot rang out, Wu Keshan rolled his eyes, and fell off his horse......
