It is obvious that Jiannu and Tartar are not willing to fight hard, their purpose now is not to fight, but to escape, they will not stupidly throw themselves into the net, they suffer casualties and search westward.

This battle directly reduced the Qing army's troops and horses by a small half, the regular soldiers lost more than 3,000, and the bannermen and clothed slaves were cut off by seventy or eighty.

How many people are born to be slaves? The Han people were forced to use Jiannu as a last resort, just to survive.

When they found that their masters were surrounded and fell into a bitter battle, most of the minions, whether they were Qiding or Baoyi, lay on the ground and held their heads and refused to stand up again.

The Manchurian cavalry was too busy to take care of themselves, how could they have the heart to deal with the clothes lying on the ground, they hurriedly beat their horses to break through, and many fast-moving Jiannu and Tartars were lucky enough to cross the net set by the "Red Banner Army" and escape.

Surrounded by dozens of bayalas and hundreds of personal soldiers, Duoduo did not see the enemy, nor did he get the opportunity to fight with the "Red Banner Army", so he lost more than half of his clothes, nearly 3,000 men, and most of his baggage wanted to cry without tears.

Only then did he realize that the problem was serious, and he should have become the target of the "Red Banner Army".

This is the encirclement plan formulated by Song Pengfei, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, etc., and the generals jokingly called it "layer by layer".

As long as Duoduo's 20,000 or so men and horses fall into the trap, they have to lose a layer of skin every time they pass the level, and they will lose four or five thousand men and horses at most, and two or three thousand at the least, in short, let them lose their troops without interruption.

After crossing the Pinggu River, the road became even more rugged, and many mountain roads were obviously damaged, and they tossed back and forth for three or four days without finding the way back to the west.

Not only that, as long as they pass through the mountains and dense forests, there will be attrition, not the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry deserted as deserters, but will be blocked by Minnie gunners, and will be bombarded by buried mines and artillery.

The commander-in-chief here is Song Pengfei, and he can't help but think of how he installed gunpowder explosives when he first followed the master of the family.

Nowadays, the equipment is completely different, on the basis of several mine guns successfully developed by Li Tiancheng of the Ming Military Bureau, the Qingniwa Arsenal has derived different types of mine artillery, making the Manchurian cavalry unable to defend against it.

The Qing army was extremely frightened, and when they set foot on the unknown road, they were terrified, and when they heard the explosion, they hurriedly rolled off their horses, lying on the ground, and holding their heads in their hands.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is overwhelmed, and the "Red Flag Army" system wants to get the latest technology that the Ming Dynasty has, as long as it spends some money and puts some thought into it.

The Qingniwa Arsenal even recruited two disciples of Li Tiancheng, and this time the name of Li Tiancheng was on the list of elected officials in "Hanjiang Province".

Therefore, the mine artillery produced by the "Red Banner Army" is of high quality and more stable than the products of the Ming Army.

The trigger mechanism of the mine cannon inspired the master craftsmen and academic technicians who were working on new weapons, and they were already experimenting with making the mine cannon the size of a cannonball, which would explode after being fired into an enemy position.

The big problem that needs to be solved now is how to avoid shells filled with a few catties or more than a dozen catties of gunpowder not exploding directly in the bore, but only exploding when they land on the ground after being discharged.

It is estimated that a lot of manpower, material resources and research and development regardless of the cost, and hundreds of scientific researchers, including more than a dozen senior veteran gunners, will work together, and it will not take long to break through the bottleneck.

After being able to land and explode, Huang Han would open the golden finger in time and propose to pre-fragment the cast iron shell of the shell to enhance the lethality.

Huang Han believed that when the time crossed the ocean to open up colonies overseas, the "Red Banner Army" would have flowering bombs with actual combat performance and would become the first country in the world to use grenades.

The Han people have always been able to stay one step ahead, and the benefits are self-evident, defeating the Xiyi and dominating the Atlantic, controlling the interests of maritime trade, and curbing the development of colonial empires such as England, France, and the Dutch.

The greater the share of the Han people in the sea trade, the more profits the stronger the national strength, and the Han people also have a demographic dividend.

Attacked by the "Red Banner Army" in a variety of ways, the Qing army mourned, and the battle losses of the officers and men of the various battalions who participated in the encirclement and annihilation were insignificant, and only a few dozen casualties were suffered in a few days.

The few clothed minions and bannermen did not want to escape with their masters for a long time, but did their best to hide in the mountains and forests when their masters were attacked and took the initiative to surrender to the "Red Banner Army".

It had only been seven or eight days since the "Red Banner Army" was attacked, and the Han people were basically invisible in Duoduo's ranks, and the Jiannu and Tartars, who were close to being unilaterally slaughtered, were all coaxed, and they were all dejected, and the atmosphere of terror spread among the surviving 9,000 people.

They could no longer evacuate the mountainous area in vain, Chen Qiyu not only led the ambush to cut off the rear route of the Qing army, but the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" also appeared not far away.

If you break through to the west, you will return to the Pingguchuan boundary where you were ambushed, how can the Manchurian cavalry go back, wouldn't that be the farther and farther away from home?

When a section of the mountain road ahead was blocked again, and the Manchurian cavalry was ravaged by the Fran cannons, Minny guns, and self-generated guns, and lost one or two thousand men and horses, Duoduo was already in disarray.

At the end of August, Duoduo issued an order to break through by separate routes, and he took more than 2,000 white flags and abandoned horses into the mountains and forests to continue to the northeast.

Manzhu Xili led four or five thousand Mongolian light cavalry to the southeast to find a way to break through.

Jiannu can hunt in the deep mountains and dense forests, is all-round in horse and foot combat, has the instinct of mountain warfare, and is still struggling to support in the case of constant attacks by the "Red Banner Army" in the mountains and forests.

Most of the Mongols were lapped-legged, and when they left their war horses and went into the forest, they followed the Manzhu ritual to the southeast to search the road, and deserters began to appear.

This is some Tartars desperate, they made a wise choice - to break away from the large forces and surrender to the "Red Banner Army".

Seven days later, the Tartars were ambushed by Sun Chuanting again, killing two or three thousand on the spot, and more than 2,000 Mongols who were full of heart and gall were taken prisoner.

It was not surprising that the helpless Jiannu would choose to abandon the horse and go into the forest, and the painting department had already made a plan.

The infantry of the "Red Banner Army", with the cooperation of the military dog search team, searched for the Jiannu who ran into the mountains and forests in units of 100 generals.

The young soldiers of the guard battalion also dismounted and participated in the search with military dogs.

Compared with cavalry warfare, the boys of the Guards Battalion are more accustomed to infantry combat and mountain warfare, and most of these young men are quasi-equipped with Mini guns, all of them are good marksmen, and they also have short guns pinned to their waists, and they are not ambiguous in long-range and close combat.

There are hundreds of military dogs, and Ge Daben, the dog king, is personally involved, and there is only a chance for the young man of the guard battalion to ambush Jiannu, and the possibility of being ambushed by Jiannu is basically ruled out, because Jiannu cannot cope with the search of hundreds of military dogs.
