At dawn, the Manchu camp, the Tartars who had been tired for a night began to withdraw to the camp one after another to rest, and the Tartars, who had slept in the camp and had eaten in advance, drove out of the camp in groups and ran to the bank of the Wei River.

Compared with the bustle here, the rear camp of the Manchu continuous camp is still quiet. The internment places here are all those who have plundered the Ming people, and since the war, the Tartars have reduced the daily food to a minimum, not giving these people the strength to feed and give them the opportunity to cause trouble. If you don't have anything to fill your stomach, you can only lie down and minimize your physical exertion.

However, the Manchu Tartars were not kind enough to equip them all with tents in the wilderness, and they were all in the middle of the camps, huddled together with each other, struggling to survive in the cold wind. As soon as it was dawn, another group of people froze to death before they could get through.

A group of two Tartars were examining the people everywhere, and when they saw the dead, they carried them out and threw them away. Suddenly, a second tartar who was carrying the corpse fell to his knees on the ground with weak legs.

"What are you doing?" When a real Tartar saw it, he scolded angrily, "You have the strength to escape back, so you don't have the strength to do some work?" ”

Now, the drudgery of these ban's corpses has fallen on the two Tartars who have fled back from the north shore. As for the true Tartars who fled back, they would not be punished for such a thing.

This person who was scolded was none other than Wu Zhong of Jinyi Wei. He really didn't want to go back to the South Shore. But there was no way, the task he received from the emperor was to lurk in Liaodong, so he had to flee back to the south bank.

Pity him for a hundred households in brocade clothes, the experience in these days is simply unimagined before, this hardship, more than the previous twenty or thirty years combined. After escaping, they ate a little more than the plundered people, and not much, and all pigs ate. The most important thing is that you don't have to rest yet, you have to do physical work, and you still have the strength!

At this time, Wu Zhong couldn't help but think very much about his original life in Jingshi, how comfortable it was!

It's a pity, there is no way now, only to persevere, otherwise let alone go to Liaodong, you may die here.

Thinking so, Wu Zhong gritted his teeth and stood up again, and continued to carry the corpse.

On the north bank of the Wei River, many Ming soldiers also felt tired. The prisoners were not allowed to rest with the wheel warfare method, and no one was beaten with iron, so he thought that he could lie down and sleep well. However, if this really sleeps, Jianyu will attack it.

"Gollum"

The stomachs of many Ming soldiers made a voice of protest, reminding the master that they were hungry.

As a result, many soldiers of the Ming army took advantage of the gap to look in the direction of Tianjin City, thinking why didn't they come?

It didn't take long for horse-drawn carriages to appear. Before the car arrived, the aroma wafted over first, and the soldiers of the Ming army suddenly made a commotion, but the officers immediately shouted and ordered them to stick to their posts.

"Brothers, you can eat!" The soldiers of the Ming army who were driving shouted loudly, "Two large meat buns per person, and a bowl of broth!" ”

Hearing this, even the officers were overjoyed and couldn't help asking, "Where did you get so much meat in the army?" ”

Meat is even more rare, especially in today's war-torn times. Now the whole army has meat to eat, which is quite a lot.

"The governor and Lord Zhongcheng said that it took a few days to build a captivity, and everyone is tired, so they must make up for it." The officer among the drivers replied loudly with a smile, "Therefore, the dead horses captured on the battlefield, the wounded horses that could not be cured, and some mules and donkeys were slaughtered for everyone to have a good meal." ”

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help but cheer up one by one, and shouted in unison that the two adults were wise! Even if the Brave Guard Battalion usually has better food, after this continuous battle, they are very eager for a meat meal. When I heard it at this time, I was also rejoicing.

In this way, the carriages full of large meat buns and broth went east along the Wei River, and the soldiers of the Ming army who got the meat buns gobbled up some of them, eager to eat the meat buns in one bite; And some soldiers, although they smell the smell of meat, their stomachs are even more protesting, but they just take a bite slowly and carefully, and carefully experience the feeling of chewing meat, as if they want to imprint this taste in their minds.

However, in some parts of the river, the Tartars have already begun to attack. The soldiers of the Ming army, some immediately stuffed it into their mouths, and copied the guys, and some were reluctant to eat meat so badly, so they stuffed it into their arms and waited for the tartars to retreat before eating it well.

The power of the meat buns seemed to be endless, and the soldiers of the Ming army, who were originally exhausted, regained their enthusiasm for fighting and began to meet the attack of Jianyu.

By noon, some sections of the river were so encouraging that when the gang leaders came again, they had to leave a car behind and wait for the battle to be over. And when it came time to go back again, the empty car had to be used to transport the casualties.

In between battles, the bodies were carried onto the car one after another, lined up neatly. Suddenly, one of the soldiers moved his nose, and then said to the people next to him: "General Qi, there is still a meat bun in the monkey's arms that I haven't eaten, I can smell it." ”

When the general flag heard this, he glanced at the arms of the weak body, and it seemed that there was indeed a slight bulge. Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The monkey has suffered all his life, let him take the meat buns, I hope to be reincarnated in the next life to a rich and noble family, and there will be big fish and meat every day!" ”

"Well, sure, the monkey died fighting for the country, he should be considered a good person, right? A good person has a good reward, and he will definitely be reincarnated into a good family! The soldier who spoke earlier nodded vigorously and echoed without hesitation.

After moving the body, these Ming soldiers all watched the carriage go away, so it was a farewell. They will hold on until the new order is handed down.

At the head of Tianjin, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were both there, looking at the carriages that came back, and they were silent. It wasn't until most of the carriages came back that Sun Chuanting frowned and said, "The casualties have obviously started to rise. In the opinion of the lower officials, it is time to withdraw. ”

"Yes, it can't be consumed any longer, the soldiers must take a rest." After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Sun Chuanting and said, "This time, this official will defend the city, and you will lead the cavalry army to wait for the opportunity!" ”

The city of Tianjin is too small to accommodate so many troops. Therefore, someone had to lead the troops away. Besides, if you just defend the city without reinforcements, it will be breached sooner or later. As soon as these two factors are combined, it is necessary to have a force to maneuver outside.

Sun Chuanting listened to it and did not insist. This time, he will leave with the real cavalry, and the original foot soldiers will remain in Tianjin City to defend. Of course, when he leaves, the wounded soldiers are taken away to make more space and reduce the number of people who need to take care of others.

When night fell, the Ming army quietly began to withdraw from the easternmost bank of the Wei River, and with enough animal power, they took it along the way. Many soldiers, as soon as they got into the car, fell asleep on the shoulders of their comrades. Jianyu's wheel battle is indeed too tiring.

When the Ming army withdrew, the Tartars immediately attacked.

At the beginning, they were afraid of deception, and the attacking troops immediately defended on the spot, and then began to build a passage as soon as possible, and at the same time summoned the troops from other places, and rushed to this side. In this way, the offensive on the western section of the Wei River weakened, and it was easier for the Ming army on this side to withdraw.

The Manchu army was in the middle of the camp, and the high-ranking leaders of the Tartars were all here, and their faces were not good-looking. They didn't expect that after they had drawn their troops, the Ming army on the other side would hold out until dark. At this time, they were all a little heavy-hearted. The resilience of the Ming army on the other side is really beyond their imagination.

But fortunately, at this time, there was good news from the front, saying that the east bank of the Wei River was close to the sea, and finally broke through, and now two or three thousand people have passed, and the Ming army has no possibility of recapturing it. When the passage is completed, the cavalry will be able to pass.

As soon as he heard the news, he didn't need to say that Haoge, who couldn't hide his temper, even Yue Tuo, who was relatively calm, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, good, good, tear a hole, the Ming army will collapse on the whole front!" ”

"His grandmother's, these bright dogs, killed them all after crossing the river!" Hauge lifted his sleeves and rubbed his hands, as if the Ming army was in front of him, and he was ready to pounce immediately.

However, Dolgon, after experiencing several unexpected blows by the Ming army, although he was also happy, he still calmed down. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately went out of the account and prepared to go to the Wei River to learn about the military situation in person.

However, before he could reach the Wei River, one after another good news came.

Each section of the river has broken through to the opposite bank. At the same time, Dolgon finally knew that it was not this side that fought hard, but the Ming army took the initiative to retreat.

Knowing this situation, Hauge still commented happily: "Look, I said that the Ming army can't hold on!" ”

He meant it as if to say, look, how wise I am, come and praise me!

However, Yue Tuo lost his smile, ignored him at all, turned his head to look at Dolgon and said, "Uncle, shouldn't the Ming army be going to play any conspiracy again?" ”

In his hands, more than 5,000 foot soldiers were annihilated by the Ming army, so he began to weigh whether the Ming army had any conspiracy and tricks for any abnormality.

Dolgon did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before he ordered solemnly: "Immediately send heavy troops to garrison the north bank, build more passages, and let the others cross the river after the Ming army is strictly guarded." ”

This time, of course, it's about attracting the lessons of the previous time.

On the previous occasion, the Qing Dynasty didn't think that the defenders in Tianjin would have the courage to fight, so they neglected to take precautions, but they didn't expect that the elite of the Ming army was actually here, so that the Qing army was caught off guard and suffered a big defeat.

This time, if you are prepared, it is naturally impossible to suffer such a loss again.

Yue Tuo and Hauge have no objection to this.

Therefore, the Manchu Qing Dynasty mobilized heavy troops, almost 20,000 people formed a tight formation on the north bank to protect this side of the Wei River, and erected ten passages in one go, and even dismantled many carriages to build passages. In this way, it is impossible for the Ming army to repeat its old tricks.

At the same time, a large number of ground scouts were released, far away, to ensure that there would be no first appearance. At the same time, it is also to search for the whereabouts of those Ming people.

When he was done with this, Dolgon stood on the land on the north shore, looked up at the starry sky, and sighed in his heart, this time it is really not easy to enter the customs! Next, it's time to think about what's next.

The Ming army in front of him must be eaten, otherwise no matter what he does, he will be like a thorn in his back, making him feel uneasy. Next, do you continue to loot more people and materials, or do you just get out of the customs?

This is a question, and you must think about it.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he saw that the sky was about to dawn, and he was about to go and rest for a while, he found that there was chaos on the south bank, and there was a noise, and the sound of fire, and at a glance, he knew that something had happened.

"What's going on?" Like a cat that had been trampled on its tail, Dorgon jumped to his feet, his face turned pale, and he shouted sharply.

The main force had just arrived on the north shore, and something happened on the south bank, which really scared him a little. Things are not going well!

How could the people around him know that something was happening on the south bank, so they could only immediately send someone across the river to ask.

The news soon spread back to the north bank, saying that there was a sneak attack on the rear camp by the Ming army, and the number was unknown, but it was estimated that it would not be too much, but it also caused a lot of confusion in the rear camp. Many Ming people took the opportunity to escape. In addition, some of the vehicles and supplies were burned, but not much.

As for the specific situation, it is not very clear, including who will make the sneak attack, how many troops are really there, and what kind of troops? The news from Dolgon could be conflicting with each other.

In this regard, Haoge, who rushed over after hearing the news, was strange: "Damn, what the hell is going on, how do you feel that there are Ming troops everywhere?" Isn't there no Ming army in the rear? Where did the Ming army come from and break through the Tanma arranged on the periphery? ”

Yue Tuo naturally couldn't answer, he went to the rear army with Haoge, and he could confirm that there was no Ming army behind. Even the virtual soldiers led by Lu Xiangsheng fled to the city to hide.

It wasn't until dawn that the news was finally further confirmed, and it was Lu Xiangsheng who led a cavalry army to raid the rear camp. The number of troops is about two or three thousand.

At the same time, losses came out. ran away about 20,000 people of the Ming Kingdom, although about 10,000 were recovered afterwards, but half of them could not be recovered. Twenty cartloads of grain and grass were burned, which was not too much, not too little. If Lu Xiangsheng had more troops, then last night's losses would have been incalculable.

Dolgon naturally didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng had used a bluff last night. Otherwise, if there were really two or three thousand cavalry, there would definitely not be only this result.

Dolgon's judgment was wrong, and then, after dawn, he found that the Ming army had retreated to Tianjin, but there were only about 20,000 troops (this time there was no need to hide, so naturally more troops could be squeezed). No sound of horses was heard, indicating that the cavalry of the Ming army was not in the city. Also, if Sun Chuanting's banner is not seen, it is likely that Sun Chuanting led the cavalry to hide away.

All this news gave Dolgon a headache.

But this is not over, and at noon, there will be a report from the scattered ground to explore the horses, saying that no trace of the people of the Ming Kingdom has been found, and it is likely that they have been placed in various cities. The ambush was not found, and I don't know where to hide.

Dolgon, who originally planned to attack Tianjin City and destroy this Ming army, hesitated. He thought about it again and again, and finally gave a military order, and the whole army went out!

Hauge has an opinion on this, and he went back in disgrace after losing the battle?

Dolgon listened, and just stopped Hauge's mouth with a faint sentence: "Are you sure that you can take Tianjin City in a few days?" Leave the grain and grass in order? Do you want to take those people to Guanwai? ”

Unless the Jianyu is confident that they can re-plunder the grain, grass, materials and population, it is likely that they will not be able to keep what they still have.

So, the Manchu army plundered more than 200,000 people and some materials, of course, the line of King De, under strict defense, carefully guarded, and finally passed the Qingshui Mingyue Pass, out of the pass.

After the Battle of Tianjin, the Ming army did not find another opportunity, there was no suitable ambush location, and the front could not defeat Jianyu, so they could only watch the Tartars go out of the pass.

But no matter what, this battle is much, much better than the original history!
