366 Actually slept?

In any case, there is always a fixed number of guns. How many types of artillery and various types of artillery carried by the Ming army, Dolgon probably knew in his heart.

Because of this, he was horrified to find that the Ming army seemed to have transferred most of the artillery here. If this hadn't been ambushed here beforehand, he would never have believed it.

However, this ...... It's impossible! Dolgon didn't believe it in his heart, how could the Ming army know that he would break through tonight, and it was from the West Gate! If you don't break through from the west gate, and the main force breaks through from the east gate, so many artillery, almost all of them are at the west gate, then the pressure on the east gate to break through will be very small!

The commander of the Ming army, no, it is the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, why did he concentrate most of the artillery here at the West Gate, and he happened to be hit by himself?

As he was thinking this, he suddenly realized something. It seems that in the midst of the roaring artillery, there is also a large number of horses' hooves.

The cavalry troops on the side of the Qing Dynasty, because of the existence of the horse pit, did not dare to charge on horseback anymore, and there was no sound of galloping horses at all!

Hearing the sound, Dolgon immediately found that on the left and right sides of the west gate of Tashan, under the light of the fire, a large number of cavalry figures were flashing, outflanking the rear road of the Qing army. Moreover, behind the cavalry, there are countless figures following, it should be the Ming State Infantry Army, with the help of the cavalry to open the way, rushing towards the back road of the Qing army.

At this glance, the cold sweat on Dolgon's face burst out.

At this time, he didn't need to calculate the number of artillery, he was already 100% sure that the Ming army had already ambushed heavy troops on the west gate, and he had fallen into the encirclement of the Ming army!

Thinking of this, Dolgon couldn't help but shout: "Who, who betrayed the Qing Dynasty? Who betrayed the king? ”

If the Ming army had not received the news in advance, it would have been absolutely impossible to deploy heavy troops at the West Gate! This is definitely someone leaking the news!

After a few hysterical shouts, Dorgon realized that there could be no answer to this question at this time. More importantly, now that the Qing army is in a huge crisis, it must first deal with this crisis.

However, in the dark of night, it was difficult to convey military orders. Now that it is surrounded by the Ming army, under multiple blows, the team is even more chaotic. In such a situation, it is simply impossible to convey military orders.

Even if Dorgon had great ability, he would not be able to redeem anything in the face of such a chaotic scene.

Everything can only depend on God's fate!

I have to say that the Jianyu army at this time is indeed still elite.

Although they suffered a huge blow, rockets, artillery, pits in the ground, and fire-starters, and the military system was already in chaos, the soldiers did not scatter and flee, but began to form a formation with each other, regardless of the number of people.

At this time, outside the West Gate City, under the light of the fire, you can see piles and piles of Jianyu troops, with countless piles. And, slowly, the piles are still merging with each other and forming a bigger pile.

However, of course, the Ming army will not just be watching.

Outflanked from the back road of Jianyu, cutting off their possible cavalry retreat to the city, it was Hu Dawei's heavy cavalry that took the lead. Blindfolded by a horse, with the help of the moonlight and firelight, it crashed into the piles of prisoners like a heavy tank.

This is behind the Jianyu army, not the elite of Jianyu, and it is already very good to be able to form a formation with each other in such a panic scene before. But no matter what, there is definitely a lot of fear in their hearts.

In such a situation, in the face of the charge of the heavily armored iron cavalry, there is no possibility of defense at all.

These Jianyu army formations were like paper paste, and they were immediately broken apart as soon as they were rushed by the heavy armor and iron cavalry of the Ming army. Jianyu, who was not killed by the collision, knew that it was the heavily armored iron cavalry that was charging, so he never went to regroup, but scattered and fled, and no longer had the will to resist.

The infantry of the Yongwei Battalion, which followed behind the heavy armored iron cavalry, formed a formation to chase and kill the Jian captives who were scattered by the heavy armored iron cavalry. And the Yongwei battalion is still Qi Jiguang's Mandarin Duck Array, which is the most suitable for killing the enemy in this kind of scene at the moment.

Dolgon, near the Chinese army, watched his own rear road, like a piece of paper, and had no resistance to the attack of the Ming army.

Many of the Qing soldiers who were defeated and fled for their lives fled to the side of the Chinese army, and they also messed up the side of the Chinese army.

Seeing this, Dorgon drew his sword and roared with his guards to cut down the defeated soldiers, trying to stabilize the retreat.

However, even if the fire outside the city was in full swing and illuminated the entire battlefield, it was still incomparable to the daytime. Even if you dwelled a few, it would be impossible for the other defeated soldiers who fled for their lives to notice it, or if they were frightened, they would not flee.

Especially behind them, the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Ming army drove them, and there were countless infantry troops covering and killing, so they would not be given a chance to regroup at all.

"Master, it's useless!" When Dorgon's guards knew they were done, they shouted loudly to remind Dolgon.

However, Dolgon's face was hideous, and he was still slashing and slashing the defeated soldiers frantically, as if he hadn't heard it.

The other guards also stopped, glanced at each other, and reminded loudly: "Master, while it's still dawn, break through quickly, otherwise, you won't be able to leave!" ”

It is absolutely impossible for a large army to break through, but it is still possible for a small group of Jianyu to break through.

However, Dolgon continued to slash and kill the defeated soldiers in a frenzy, as if he could save the game by doing so.

His guards looked at each other, and finally one of them stepped forward, hugged the crazy Dolgon, hugged him to death, and then shouted: "Master, it's useless, get out quickly, you must break out!" ”

In the history of the Qing Dynasty, no prince had ever been defeated in a war with the Ming army. Regardless of whether the sky fell or not, at least Dolgon could not die here, let alone be captured by the Ming army.

Embraced by the guards and roaring behind his ears, Dolgon finally came back to his senses in his frenzy.

He looked around the entire battlefield, looking at the almost one-sided slaughter, the Qing army, did not play its due combat power at all, and died under the swords and guns of the Ming army, he couldn't help but feel like a knife, and it was also a moment of despair.

As soon as the guards let go of him, they saw Dolgon roar, then reversed the hilt of the sword, and wiped it from his own neck. Obviously, he couldn't accept the fact that he was so confused about the defeat in front of him.

But Dorgon's guards were watching him, waiting for him to make up his mind. Therefore, as soon as he saw that he was going to commit suicide, of course, he immediately stopped it.

With a clang, Dolgon's knife was knocked off the ground. Subsequently, he was carried by his personal guards, no longer caring about other prisoners, and tried to break out.

In this battle, Jianyu was completely defeated, and the gods couldn't save it.

Finally, the eastern sky revealed a hint of fish belly white, and a new day has arrived.

At this time, the battle outside Tashan City had also come to an end.

The main battlefield outside the West Gate has basically ended the war. The fire has largely been extinguished, and smoke is a reminder that there has been a fire.

The soldiers of the Ming army were all cleaning the battlefield in groups of three. Although I didn't sleep all night, I was very excited, and I didn't have the fatigue of staying up all night and fighting.

"I really never dreamed that the war with Jianyu would be so easy!"

"Yes, the battle of Tianjin, you don't know, in order to prevent Jianyu from crossing the river, I really used all my skills, at that time, I almost thought that I couldn't stop Jianyu. But this time in the war, these captives are completely fish on the knife board, and we are allowed to slaughter them, which is really happy! ”

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I can definitely blow this battle for the rest of my life! This is a Jianyu, a real Jianguo, not a Mongolian Tatar, who was killed so easily. Watching them throw away their armor and run away, don't say it, my heart is sweeter and more refreshing than eating honey! ”

“……”

These soldiers of the Ming army who cleaned up the battlefield, after being the first to speak happily, immediately began to summarize the key to this battle. Even if it's just a small soldier, they all have their own opinions!

"This battle, at the beginning, I thought I was going to toss for nothing, but I didn't expect to catch such a big fish, haha!"

"Yes, we were able to win this battle so easily, because of the heavy ambush in advance, Jianyu couldn't have imagined it, and as a result, he crashed into the ambush circle, haha!"

"Before, I heard my comrades on the other side of the hussar camp say how the emperor was like a god, how he strategized, and how he easily wiped out the Hetao Tartars. I tell you, to say something rebellious, I didn't believe it much at the time, and I always felt that my comrades in the hussar camp had gone a little too far. But now I believe it, the emperor's talent for fighting is really amazing, he is absolutely like a god, even more Zhuge Liang than Zhuge Liang! ”

"It's not, anyway, how powerful Zhuge Liang is, I can't say, when we are the emperor, it is definitely a clever calculation, and there is no last resort!"

“……”

When the officers and men of the Ming army were happily discussing and cleaning up the battlefield, the general soldiers and supervisors from all walks of life also went to the Chinese army camp with a smile on their faces.

Chen Baoting was standing outside the tent of the Chinese army, and when he saw these general soldiers coming over, he stopped them with the same smile and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment, Your Majesty has not gotten up yet." ”

"Ah, what? You say Your Majesty is sleeping? When He Renlong heard this, he was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

Zhou Yuji listened, and without waiting for Chen Baoting to answer, he explained to He Renlong with understanding: "Your Majesty has not slept all night in such a big war, and now that the war is over, of course you have to rest for a while." ”

When the other commanders heard this, they all smiled and nodded. The emperor wants to rest, and they understand it very well. At this time, let them wait, and they are also willing. After all, a big victory, there is nothing urgent in the future.

However, Chen Baoting shook his head with a smile and said, "No, after the battle at the West Gate last night, the emperor slept peacefully!" ”

As soon as they heard this, all of a sudden, these chief soldiers and prison guards looked at each other, and they all looked surprised and admired.

They didn't expect that the emperor would go to sleep at the beginning of the war. This is definitely expected to win this battle, so I will go to sleep with peace of mind!

When they thought about it, they thought about it again. It was the emperor who expected that the Jianyu of Dingtashan would break through from the West Gate last night, and he also guessed that the Jianyu would use the sound to attack the west. It is precisely according to the emperor's expectation that the targeted deployment of heavy troops to ambush will lead to last night's great victory!

Your Majesty, what a god!

If it is said that in the previous battle of Hetao to eliminate the Tumut Department, Emperor Chongzhen only convinced some of the soldiers of the hussar battalion, then after this battle, the three major battalions under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor were all impressed by his wisdom and skill!

Thinking of these, these general soldiers and supervisors all looked in admiration, and then they waited silently outside the tent of the Chinese army, for fear of arguing with Emperor Chongzhen. That's all they can do now, to express their inner reverence for the emperor.

At this moment, the curtain of the Chinese military tent was lifted, and Lan Tianbao came out of it, smiled and said to them: "Your Majesty has woken up, and he is in good spirits. ”

Hearing this, Cao Bianjiao and other general soldiers and Liu Yuanbin and other supervisors all looked at each other, and then subconsciously began to tidy up their appearance, and after finding that everything was fine, they solemnly entered the Chinese army tent to meet them.

In the Chinese military tent, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen came out of the back tent, he saw all the general soldiers and supervisors, and immediately saluted, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

In fact, at the beginning, these general soldiers and supervisors all thought that they must report their victory to the emperor, and congratulations, this is a great victory!

However, outside the tent of the Chinese army, after they learned that the emperor was so calm and expected to go to sleep in anticipation of a great victory, they felt that it was a bit redundant to directly congratulate Ah on the victory or something. A thousand words are not worth a sentence of "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live", but can better express their feelings.

Emperor Chongzhen was really in good spirits, and he didn't have the kind of fatigue after staying up all night. I saw him smile and stretch out his hand to signal that they were all flat, and then said with a smile: "How about it, tell me the results of the battle!" ”

At the emperor's command, Lu Da started first, and he didn't have the look of being very excited at all, but told the emperor in a proper manner, just like a normal performance. Then, it was Hu Dawei, Cao Bianjiao, Zhou Yuji and other general soldiers.

The Han army banner soldiers outside the east gate were still very desperate at first, but after a huge movement broke out at the west gate, Lu Da shouted that they had been abandoned, and in the end most of the soldiers chose to surrender.

Of the more than 8,000 captives on the West Gate, about 2,000 were eventually captured by the Ming army. It also includes about half of the wounded. As for the other prisoners, they were all killed by the Ming army last night, including fire, shelling, attacks by heavy armored iron cavalry, and cover-up by the Ming army.

As for the Ming army, there were more than 1,000 casualties, of which more than 300 were actually killed. In terms of battle loss ratio, it is a truly rare victory!

After telling this, Sun Yingyuan, as a veteran general soldier in the Imperial Forest Army, after taking a look at the other general soldiers, reported the situation of the slave chief to Emperor Chongzhen.
