It took more than half a month for the Qing Dynasty army to capture the Gongchangling Walled City, but they never imagined that the Gongchangling Walled City garrisoned by them could not even last for two days under the attack of Hongtang Baiyushan.

This is not that Prince Dolgon made a mistake in their command, but that this Gong Changling Castle had suffered too much loss in the previous offensive and defensive battles, and the Qing army was eager to pursue Hongtang Shang Kexi, so they did not have more energy to focus on the rear castle that they thought was already safe, but it allowed Hongtang Baiyushan to seize a great opportunity.

When the night raid began, Hongtang's army started from the weakest point of the castle wall, blew a gap at the beginning, and soon killed nearly 20,000 elite soldiers from this gap, and the defeat of the divided Qing army was a matter of time.

Prince Dorgon and they could not be said to have done their best, for they knew that if they suffered a defeat here, not only would their army suffer a crushing defeat, but at the same time, the night would inevitably affect the rest of the battle for reinforcements.

However, although they tried their best to give orders, and even Prince Hauge personally went into battle to boost their morale, it was difficult to stop the Hongtang army from encroaching on them step by step.

The miscellaneous fish of the Han army and the Korean soldiers were cleared out of the castle as the Hongtang soldiers cleaned the battlefield, either fleeing or surrendering, making the battlefield of the not very large castle area more and more distinct.

Of course, as the desperate Qing soldiers gradually reflected on the chaos and began to fight back, the casualties of the Hongtang soldiers gradually increased, and the pressure increased sharply at night.

The sky was bright, and the sun rarely showed its face, making the temperature no longer so cold, but for the less than 40,000 remnants of the Qing army besieged in the city, the misery in his heart was even colder than this weather.

"Pass the order, the offensive in the direction of Beicheng and Dongcheng will slow down!"

"At the same time, order the sappers to set up a horse pit in the vicinity of the city gate!"

After all, the Jurchen warriors of the Qing army were also the most powerful existence in the contemporary era at that time, although at this moment, because of the wind factors such as being caught off guard, fighting for a long time, and fatigue and horses, the Hongtang army had the upper hand, but as they began to fight hard, the damage to the Hongtang soldiers gradually increased.

It's not that they are reluctant to lose their troops in Baiyushan, if they can annihilate the main force of the Qing Dynasty in this walled city here, it will be worth paying a big price for the upper command of Hongtang.

However, it is one thing to hope for it, but it is another thing to completely annihilate a large army on the battlefield, and the hardships are not only achieved by the willingness of the army to sacrifice.

Don't look at the current Qing army in the castle stubborn resistance, it seems that it is cornered, but in fact, as long as the Qing army Prince Dorgon is willing, they can break through the encirclement of the Hongtang army at any time, after all, for the Qing army that still has 40,000 remnants at the moment, a little broken face is always more advantageous than Baiyushan and their encirclement network.

It's just that at this moment, Dolgon and they are still reluctant to have tens of thousands of war horses in the city, as well as countless supplies, if these materials are all lost here, even if they return to Shengjing, what will they do to fight against the tens of thousands of cavalry of Yehe, and how to survive this cold winter.

"Is this just the first class of the military book?"

Ma Yao has been following Bai Yushan's side, trying to digest the knowledge learned in this battle, and the scene of more than 100,000 soldiers in the city fighting each other made that Ma Yao's blood burst at the same time, but also made him feel the insignificance of himself in this kind of war.

Standing on the high platform, Ma Yao could fully feel the vigorous killing machine coming from the city, as well as the solemn atmosphere brought by the fighting of soldiers from both sides.

"Yes, although I am very reluctant to admit it, we still don't have the ability to eat this Qing army in one go, what we can do next is to consume the opponent's strength as much as possible, and the most important thing is not to let the opponent rush out of the encirclement network with the war horse, which will make the opponent still have the power to counterattack."

Bai Yushan replied calmly, the Qing army in the city has obviously realized the general trend of not being able to do anything, under the command of the three princes of the Qing army, such as Dolgon, a group of divided Qing army soldiers began to close with the banner of the Chinese army, and the next thing should be to break through the defense line and break out of the encirclement network.

"Oh!"

Ma Yao felt a little regretful in his heart, but at the same time, he felt proud, he was staying in the small place of Dayuan Island, how could he have experienced such a war, if he hadn't joined Hongmen, how could he see the vast world overseas!

As expected, Bai Yushan dispatched troops in advance and adjusted the defensive line, so that the Qing army thought that they had grasped the flaws of the other party, and really broke through from the direction of Dongcheng, which they deliberately weakened in Bai Yushan.

A cavalry force of more than 10,000 men bore the brunt of the attack, breaking through the direction of the city gate and descending towards the slope of the hill that was not too steep. However, it was only half a mile away, and suddenly hundreds of war horses and knights as the vanguard stepped into the air, and suddenly fell into the vast snowy field.

The rider had soft snow as a buffer, and there were few casualties, but the war horses under his seat were blocked by the strong cushioning force and the deep pit between the horse, and most of them broke their front legs directly, lying on the snow and wailing in pain.

Fortunately, the cavalry of the Qing army was united, and their skillful horsemanship allowed them to react in time, stopped in front of this piece of snow, and under the leadership of its commander, they broke through again in one direction.

The same picture appeared again, at this time, Dolgon and Prince Hauge, who were sitting in the Chinese army, their faces directly turned iron-blue, this is to force their army to death and wait for the rhythm!

"All knights dismount and advance on foot!"

"Throw away all the baggage and march lightly!!"

Without cavalry as a sword, after the Qing army rushed out of the castle, it gave the Hongtang army a great opportunity to pursue.

If there were cavalry on both flanks as cover, it was impossible for Dolgon to lead the army of less than 40,000 to leave calmly, and now a trap appeared so that Dolgon had to cut off their arms and could only rely on infantry to resist the siege of Hongtang's army from all directions.

Seeing that he was at an absolute disadvantage, he knew that if he was chased by the Hongtang army and fought by the tail like this, even if he escaped from the encirclement network, he was afraid that there would be countless casualties; And after retreating, they still have a war about the power of Allah to fight, and Geng can't allow Dolgon to damage them too much.

In the end, Dolgon and Hauge could only issue an order to abandon the baggage, trying to get their own slow pace back up by giving up these supplies, and secondly, hoping to lure Hongtang's army to divide their troops and reduce the pressure on their own retreat.

The transformation of cavalry into infantry is a great bad news for the Qing army who are eager to break through at the moment, but it is a great opportunity for the Hongtang defenders who are pursuing at the end of the race.

Countless Hongtang guards stepped on the slippery and other snowy fields, and went forward to chase and slash the fleeing Qing army, and countless soldiers on both sides fell on this land, dyed red patches of snow.
