Chapter 165: The End of the Battle II

It is not easy to clean up the battlefield either.

Although the main force of the Qing army retreated. However, a large number of Qing troops remained on the battlefield.

This is also the reason why only Ma Sanbao came with 5,000 soldiers to reinforce.

The other Xia armies were struggling to encircle the remaining Qing troops. Among these remaining Qing troops, the largest unit is the Han army led by Li Shutai.

The reason is simple, they have the least number of horses.

Most of these armies were reorganized after the former Ming army and the former Xia army were disrupted, and the Qing army with combat effectiveness or anything did not have much hope, at least the current Qing army fought to see the Eight Banners.

However, with such a large number of people, it is natural that they also have to take on some auxiliary tasks. Although the Qing army did not lack horses, horses were military supplies after all. There won't be much for these people.

Except for Li led Tai's own soldiers, there were few large cavalry brigades in the Han army.

And at this moment, seeing that the big event has gone, there are all kinds of thoughts in the Han army.

Duoduo also wanted to take Li Shutai away. But the two sides are a little too far apart, and they can only sigh with joy. He could only order Li Shutai to break through by himself.

And on the chaotic battlefield, whether this order can reach Li Shutai's hands is another matter.

Li Shutai has some good money that is difficult to give up.

Leaving these surrendered troops here, Li Shutai does not have any psychological burden, anyway, it is Duoduo and Azig who are on the side, and he himself will not have any guilt.

But throwing his own song here, Li Shutai was a little distressed.

The Qing army has some shadows of the tribal society in the military system, that is, the whole army is not managed by the government, but belongs to the Eight Banners. And each of the eight flags has its own owner.

Most of these banner masters are clan princes.

What was really in the hands of the emperor was the Shangsanqi and the Han army.

And in the Eight Banners, many positions are hereditary, and the same is true for the Qubu. Most of the soldiers under Li Shutai's command were left behind by his father Li Yongfang.

When he was just fighting, Li Yongfang sent all these soldiers to supervise the battle, and if he withdrew, these people would not be able to go back.

Above the Qing army's court, many times it speaks with strength.

The reason why Dorgon is so arrogant is not that there are three flags behind him, plus the internal division of the upper three flags, and others are watching, so there is such a situation.

Li Shutai did not lose his family's power, and he also saw that the biggest problem of the Xia army was that there were too few cavalry. Even if he delayed a little time, the Xia army would not be able to draw cavalry to pursue.

With this confidence, he dared to give the order to bring back the soldiers from all over the place as soon as possible.

It's just that he has calculated so much, but he has miscalculated people's hearts.

His actions naturally shook the hearts of the officers below.

When a Han army officer saw this, he was secretly ruthless in his heart and said, "If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." ”

This person is from the northwest, named Liang Huafeng, not very old, it can be said that he is very young, and he is very used by the Qing army, the reason is that he has good skills, and he has performed well in repeated battles, but there is another reason, but there is another reason, but he was born innocent, not from the former Ming official army, nor from the Xia army prisoner.

Instead, after the Qing army captured Xi'an, he enlisted in Xi'an when he was conscripted.

In fact, the Manchu high-level officials looked down on all kinds of surrenders. But you have to use it as a last resort. But because of current affairs, not to mention anything else, the Qing army's treatment of Hong Chengchou can be seen.

Hong Chengchou can be said to have made great contributions to the Qing court, but the final posthumous name is quite bad.

Therefore, the promotion of these Han generals from Liaodong is the political correctness of the Qing army, because after decades of rule, Liaodong has long become a familiar land of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, in their opinion, the people of Liaodong can be trusted.

In addition, it is this kind of innocent soldier who defects to the army.

But due to the relationship of time, most of the people who joined the Qing army were from Liaodong, and as for the rest of the people, there were not many people.

Before today, Liang Huafeng was also quite grateful to the Qing court for their support. But if this kind of kindness is compared with his own life, Liang Huafeng still has his own choice.

He summoned some officers around him and said, "Brothers, you have seen the current situation, the general trend has gone, and there is no return. And General Lee was bent on escaping, but he didn't care about our life or death. ”

"Some of you have also been in the Xia army before, and you also know that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty hated the Qing army to the core, and once ordered that the soldiers of the Eight Banners should be killed. There is no surrender at all, and now, although we are not the Eight Banners, if we surrender empty-handed, the end will definitely not be good. Even if he survives, he will have to endure years of hard labor. Whether we can survive or not is still between the two, and now we have to give ourselves a plan. ”、

"Big brother, what are you going to do? We all listen to you. ”

"Yes, we all listen to you."

The people below cater to it.

Of course, Liang Huafeng is good at leading the troops, and it is very popular, but there is also this is a big habit, in the troubled times, for the lower-level soldiers, it is too normal to go to Qin and Duchu, as long as you can survive, what is not to do?

Liang Huafeng saw that the people below supported him. He first sent messengers to the opposite side. Saying that they were going to surrender first, without waiting for an answer from the other side, he tied a red rope around his right arm, turned around and killed him in the back.

As for tying the red rope, there is no way to do it.

The reason is simple.

On this battlefield, I want other colors

It's hard to say what the cloth is, but it's too easy to do if you want red, for the simple reason that it's all dyed red with blood.

Liang Huafeng's actions made Li Shutai unexpected. Moreover, Liang Huafeng's actions also gave other units of the Qing army a wake-up call. That is, they don't have to fight to the end like the Eight Banners, they have another way to go.

For a while, the breath that these Qing soldiers had been holding was released.

A large-scale surrender began, Gao Yigong saw this, and immediately sent someone to accept it, although it was not as detailed as the statistics, but according to his estimates, the number of soldiers surrendered by the Qing army this time was about 30,000 or 40,000, probably more.

Gao Yigong is very satisfied with this.

However, how to say that these soldiers are all old soldiers, and after receiving them, they can be used after a little rectification. Now when there are soldiers everywhere, it is better to have these soldiers to replenish them.

Huang Chaoxuan also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, came to see Gao Yigong, knelt on the ground, and said, "Meet the general." ”

Gao Yigong said: "General Huang's work today, I will report it to the imperial court." I'm tired from a long battle, so let's rest for a while. ”

Huang Chaoxuan said: "More general kindness." ”

To tell the truth, today's battle was the largest and most brutal battle that Huang Chaoxuan had ever fought, and Huang Chaoxuan felt that he probably couldn't survive several times.

This is not an illusion, Ma Guangyu, who fought side by side with him, had already gone to see Hades, and it can be seen that there is not much difference in the status of the two.

He was also exhausted at the moment, not only by him, but also by the soldiers under his command.

Although I had eaten some dry food at noon, it had been more than an hour now, and I had long been hungry in the midst of the fierce fighting.

But he still had to ask politely: "General, at this moment, that Liang Huafeng doesn't send people to support one or two?" ”

"No, you don't." Gao Yigong said: "The court's forgiveness is not so easy to give, if he wants it, he has to exchange it for something." ”

Gao Yigong naturally knew what Liang Huafeng wanted. He wanted to continue to stay in the Xia army and lead the troops, and Gao Yigong naturally didn't think there was anything bad about it.

But he knew that Zhang Xuan might not agree.

Gao Yigong has been under Zhang Xuan's command for several years, and he knows more and more about Zhang Xuan, and knows that Zhang Xuan attaches great importance to the officer body. There is probably no problem with the surrender of these soldiers and soldiers, after all, it doesn't matter when the soldiers are, but for most of the officers, they will definitely be replaced, and it is very difficult to re-lead the troops to fight.

It is very likely that in the future, there will be an idle job and a job.

Since this Liang Huafeng wants to lead the troops, Gao Yigong is also willing to give him a chance, as for whether Gao Yigong feels that the casualties in this battle are too heavy and he is unwilling to damage the soldiers again, the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise.

In short, Gao Yigong is only willing to encircle the soldiers and watch the two sides fight.
