Chapter 66: Windfall
For the Tartar soldiers, the situation here made them a little overwhelmed, whether to continue to pursue the cavalry of the Xingtian Army, or stay to clean up these Ming officers, at this time, Dolgon could not follow immediately, and they led the troops of the Jialazhangjing also lost their minds for a while.
What's more, as soon as they appeared, the officers and soldiers opened artillery bombardment on them, clearly intending to open a posture to fight them, so the Tartars began to hesitate, that is, after a little delay, Situ Liang led his troops away from the battlefield and galloped towards Pingxiang.
When Dolgon led his troops to catch up, Situ Liang had already led his troops to run away, and Dolgon looked at the back of the cavalry of the Xingtian Army in the distance, and then looked at the Ming army that was in formation on the opposite side, and immediately understood the purpose of the Xingtian Army's action.
"This Xiao Xingtian is really a genius! actually came up with such a way to encircle us and the officers and soldiers! If this person is not removed, I am afraid that sooner or later he will become a big trouble for our Qing Dynasty! Dorgon immediately spoke to Dodor, who was following him.
Duoduo was not stupid, of course, he immediately figured out the reason, and couldn't help but nod and sigh: "What Prince Rui said is very true, I'm afraid this fang will become our henchman sooner or later!"
But we can't do anything about them right now, let's look at the present! What's next? ”
Dolgon glanced at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side from a distance, only to see that some of these Guanning troops were also distinctive, but some of them looked a little poor, it seemed that the armor was not very sound, and the artillery fire seemed to be very limited, so he sneered and said: "Gao Qiqian, this idiot, wants to bargain, but this time it hit our palms!" Leave those Xingtian troops alone, send sentinels to monitor their movements, they don't come! Let's concentrate our forces and finish this group of officers and soldiers first! ”
This battle was very sudden for both the Tartars and the official army, and in response to this situation, the officers and the army chose to be the defender as always, while the Tartars continued to choose the attacking side.
After a large number of Tartars arrived on the battlefield, Dolgon began to launch an offensive against the official army, and against the official army, they seemed much easier, or still follow their old routine, first use horse armor soldiers to attack the flank of the official army, and the infantry army with strong bows and crossbows to launch a frontal attack on the official army.
After repeating it several times, the officers and soldiers began to show a defeat, originally a considerable number of these officers and soldiers had just suffered the defeat of the Xingtian Army in Zhanghe, and they basically lost everything they could lose, and they faced the well-equipped Tartar soldiers with incomplete weapons, and even if they began to be unable to hold on.
Moreover, the morale of the officers and soldiers was extremely low, whether in terms of equipment or ideology, they were not ready to fight to the death with the Tartars, and when they were forced to line up, many officers and soldiers had already begun to think about how to put oil on the soles of their feet, and if such a battle could be fought well, it would be really hell.
As soon as Tang Tong fled, Ma Ke and Bai Guangen could not support it, and then the entire official army began to collapse, and countless officers and soldiers scattered like headless flies, and Dolgon's side immediately waved his division and began to cover the killing.
Poor Gao Qiqian this eunuch, at this time there is no longer a little capital to turn over, miserable under the protection of the guards under his command, riding on the horse and fleeing in embarrassment, even his banner at this time in order not to attract the attention of the Tartars who pursued them, have been thrown away, the Chinese army handsome flag is lost, the officers and soldiers are even more chaotic, the generals are each gathering their subordinates, the whole world began to flee for their lives, where is there anyone to care about Gao Qiqian's eunuch! Under the protection of the potential guards, he fled towards the north of the battlefield in a panic, and after a short time, only a few dozen guards were left around him, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were scattered.
Dolgon waved his division to kill all the way, and it was not until after dark that he collected the soldiers and horses, and at this time, the Guanning Corps under the command of Gao Qiqian had already collapsed in all directions.
In this battle, the Tartar soldiers beheaded more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, captured more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, and the rest of the officers and soldiers escaped the battlefield by luck, but at this time, there was no commander to control them, forming a small group, each chose a direction and fled, so that the most powerful soldiers and horses of the current Kyosuke official were completely dispersed.
Xiao Tianjian led his troops into the territory of Qiu County after nightfall and joined Situ Liang, and as soon as they set up camp, they heard the news of the rout of the official army.
Xiao Tianjian sighed slightly and said, "The official army is completely rotten!" In the case that the strength is not inferior to the Tartars, they can't hold on for even half a day, which shows how rotten they have become! I look up to them again! If we had known this, we should have come sooner, and they would not have been so badly defeated.
It's not that we didn't save them this time, it's that they really can't hold up the wall! If they can persist through tonight, then no matter what Gao Qiqian has done to us before, then Ben Shuai will still save them! ”
After listening to this, the generals also nodded one after another, no matter what, no matter how bad these Ming troops are, they are also Han people after all, and now they are slaughtered by the Tartars, which always makes them feel sad when they look at the rabbit and the fox in their hearts, but in addition, everyone listens to Xiao Tianjian's words, how can there be a feeling of a cat crying rat.
Looking at the expressions of his subordinates, Xiao Tianjian immediately understood what everyone thought, isn't this! He was the one who designed to deceive the officials and soldiers to come here, and he was the one who teased and lured the Tartars to fight with the officials, and now the officials and soldiers have been defeated, what is he saying these words, isn't it a cat crying mouse? You can't be too hypocritical, Xiao Tianjian laughed a few times and waved them away, letting them go down and start arranging the patrol of the camp, leaving Li Xin to discuss what to do next.
Now that the threat behind Gao Qiqian has been solved by the Tartars, then they basically have no worries and can show their strength, but on the other hand, they should basically achieve their goal when they go north this time, and it is time to go back to replenish and recuperate.
After making up his mind, Xiao Tianjian walked out of the big tent, and as soon as he came out of the big tent, a cold wind poured directly into Xiao Tianjian's neck, making his cold body tremble, and secretly cursed in his heart that this damn Xiaoice River period, the weather was really fucking cold enough.
Just as he was about to go to inspect the surrounding area of the camp, several scouts Pegasus rushed into the camp, and the sound of horses' hooves came far away, and it didn't take long for him to come to Xiao Tianjian's Chinese military camp.
"Report! Commander Qiqi, the lowly officials just captured a few prisoners five miles south of the camp! A scout chief rushed to Xiao Tianjian and immediately saluted and reported.
"Oh! Very good! "Xiao Tianjian is a little strange, just catch a few prisoners, just catch a few prisoners, this kind of thing is not uncommon for them, do they need to run to report to him again? If it's a Tartar, after interrogating the confession, kill it directly, if it's the words of the official army, you can take it away, and if you can't take it away, let it go, this scout is a little fuss!
But soon Xiao Tianjian realized that this matter may not be so simple, looking at the expression of this scout, it seems that he is very excited, so the prisoner they caught, maybe it should be a big fish.
"Who the hell are you caught? Don't hurry up and report it soon! Xiao Tianjian immediately glared and asked.
"Hey, hey! Big fish! Caught a big fish! It's not someone else, this time the lowly officials caught it was actually the eunuch surnamed Gao......"
