Chapter 659: Puppet Emperor

The smell of blood on the battlefield was disgusting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know how many corpses of people and horses are on the ground, like jellyfish on the beach after low tide. After being trampled by the rear cavalry, the men and horses who fell to the ground were completely dead. The corpses were bleeding profusely when they were trampled by the horses' hooves, and the ground was red everywhere.

Only some of the Tartars near the front of the thistle terrestris were not trampled by the horses, and some were not dead after being shot, convulsing and moaning on the ground.

Almost half of the 60,000 cavalry remained, and fled to the northeast on the corpses of their compatriots, panicking like a lost dog. However, by this time, all the heavy cavalry had been killed, and these routers had no armor on them, and they had to be constantly fired by marksmen in the process of fleeing.

Crackling gunfire rang out on the battlefield, and the panicked rout was knocked down by the snipers one by one.

The main force of the Aixinjue Luo clan on the front was defeated, and the 60,000 other bannermen on both wings immediately collapsed without a fight.

These bannermen were Mongols and Han Chinese who were dependent on the Later Jin after the Salhu, or small Jurchen tribes that had been ruled by oppression for many years, and their loyalty to the Aixinjue Luo clan was limited. Their will to fight was not high, and they slowly approached the two flanks of the Tiger Ben Army along the way. But until the frontal battle was all over, they did not enter the range of the Tiger Army.

Seeing that the 60,000 cavalry of the Aixinjue Luo clan were all defeated, they no longer had any reason to continue to work for Taqing, and dispersed in a hurry.

They didn't even flee in the direction where Dorgon was. After this great rout, there is no Qing Dynasty in the world, and they are no longer ready to follow the Aixin Jueluo family.

Li Zhi's 5,000 cavalry mounted their horses and pursued the fleeing Tartars. Zu Dashou's 4,000 Guanning cavalry also went out and chased down the Tartar rout.

Dolgon's face was pale, when he saw the Qing army defeated on all fronts. He trembled and burst into tears, and he could not move his feet as he stood on the hillock.

"It's over..."

"Under the Yellow Spring, how do I face my father Khan and my imperial brother..."

Dolgon's guards looked at each other for a while, and instead of saying anything to Dolgon, they forcibly picked up the trembling Dolgon on his horse. Still in despair, Dolgon's guards flung Dolgon's horse on the buttocks, allowing the horse to flee northeast.

The Qing Dynasty was completely finished, and the Han, Mongol, Haixi Jurchens, and Savage Jurchens had all abandoned Dolgon and fled in other directions.

Only the most loyal Jianzhou Jurchens, there were probably more than 10,000 people who followed Dolgon, chasing Dolgon's dragon banner from afar.

Dorgon had no choice but to flee northeast, to the banks of the Mingtong River. If you go deep into the mountains, you can take advantage of the difficult terrain to hide.

Of course, there are many savage Jurchen tribes there, who have been ruled by the Aixinjue Luo clan for many years, and they have a lot of hatred for the Aixinjue Luo clan in their hearts. If Dorgon fled there with his rout, he would have to fight a bloody battle with the local tribes. But even so, there is a glimmer of hope for survival.

As for the women, children, and children who remained in Alchuka, Dolgon could no longer think about it. Whether they will be beaten into slavery by Li Zhi in the future or whatever, Dolgon can't take care of it.

Dolgon was riding his horse to escape, but suddenly heard the crackling sound of gunfire behind him, and his heart couldn't help but slam his heart.

He turned his head to look and found that behind the more than 10,000 people who were following him, thousands of cavalry of the Tiger Army armed with firearms had chased after him. The distance was a little far away, and Dolgon couldn't see clearly how the Ming cavalry was killing the defeated Jianzhou Jurchens, but one thing was clear to Dolgon - the ultimate goal of these cavalry was himself.

Sure enough, after the more than 10,000 Jurchens who had followed Dolgon were scattered, 500 cavalry rushed towards Dolgon. Dolgon's ornate guards betrayed Dolgon's identity, and the five hundred cavalry wanted to capture the Emperor of the Tartars.

Among the five hundred pursuers, the leader was Zhong Feng, the commander of the trapping division.

Dolgon panicked and urged his horse to flee ahead.

In the pursuit of deserters, it is always easy for the winning side to succeed. Because in a long chase, the chasing side can follow for a long time, but as long as it catches up with the rout, it can complete the kill. And even if the fleeing side has been fleeing in front, as long as it is caught up once, it will be dead. The chasing side can distribute the horsepower at will, and even use the numerical advantage to stagger the force, while the fleeing side can only continue to flee at high speed.

It's like if a person runs two high-speed 100 meters in a row, he will have no strength at all to run another 1,000 meters, and he will be easily caught up by other runners who are running at a constant speed.

Sure enough, more than 200 of those cavalrymen were selected, and they chased after Dolgon as fast as they could.

Dorgon and his guards could only wave their whips and urge their horses to flee as fast as they could, even if they ran out of horsepower as quickly as possible.

The cavalry of the 200th Frontier Division and Dolgon pursued for a quarter of an hour, both exhausted and panting. Dolgon's horses were frothing at the mouth when they were urged by Dolgon, but they could only run forward desperately. But since the horses are tired like this, the speed of the horses inevitably slows down, much slower than when they were galloping at a constant speed.

It doesn't matter if the two hundred soldiers of the Selector Division who have run out of horsepower, because they still have helpers behind them. They simply stopped the horses and let them rest in the field. Running out of horsepower, Dorgon and his guards were chased closer and closer by the three hundred pursuers who were using their horsepower at a constant speed.

In the end, Dolgon, whose horses were basically unable to run, was chased by 300 cavalry dozens of meters away.

A hundred of Dolgon's fang-wrenching guards roared, turning their horses to stop their pursuers. They wanted to use their lives to buy time for the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to escape.

However, they could not even stop the three hundred Tianjin cavalry for ten seconds. The soldiers of the front row of the Selective Division, who galloped forward, shot at the hundred guards with handcuffs in their horses, and knocked most of the swingers off their horses at once.

The cavalry, having finished firing the bullets, circled to the left and right to give way to the firing position. The Tianjin soldiers in the back rushed up again and fired at the swinging tooth horn. In the crackling gunshots, the thirty emperor's guards who were still alive were also wiped out.

"Capture Dorgon alive!"

Zhong Feng roared on his horse, and the soldiers in Tianjin didn't look at the beaten and killed Dangya, and chased after the exhausted Dolgon.

Sixty meters, fifty meters, forty meters, Dolgon and his pursuers were getting closer and closer.

Dorgon knew he was going to be caught. How could the emperor of the Qing Dynasty be captured alive by Li Zhi? He drew the short knife from his waist, trying to understand himself on the horse.

However, he hesitated for a few seconds when he attacked, and Li Zhi's cavalry quickly chased within thirty meters of him. A sharpshooter stopped his horse suddenly, raised his well-loaded rifle and aimed it at Dorgon's buttocks, holding his breath and firing with a thud.

The war horse that was shot in the ass no longer had the strength to gallop, and fell to the ground with a sharp flip forward. Dorgon was thrown to the ground, rolling on the ground for a dozen laps before stopping.

As soon as he stopped, two huge rope loops were thrown over him and landed on his head. Dorgon struggled to break free of the rope, but was tightened tighter. A strong cavalryman jumped off his horse and punched Dolgon in the stomach, knocking him so hard that he almost fainted.

Two more horsemen rushed off their horses and pressed Dolgon's hand behind him.

A platoon commander rushed to Zhong Feng excitedly and said loudly: "Report to the division commander, Dongnu Puppet Emperor Dolgon has been captured alive. ”
