Volume 8 Chapter 118 Meng Yuan rebelled

Early in the morning, in the west of Haizhou City, Houjin Daying, Huang Taiji also got up early, because he couldn't sleep, he lost the decisive battle, and it was an unprecedented fiasco, which made him very uncomfortable, uncomfortable and almost insomnia.

Last night he tossed and turned, couldn't sleep for a long time, until this morning around the ugly hour did he fall asleep in a daze, but, only slept for less than an hour, he woke up again, and then, he couldn't sleep anymore, it stands to reason, he should retreat immediately, but, more than 100,000 troops were scattered by the Ming army, all the way to the rout, many soldiers are scattered, he must stay here to collect the rout, if he retreats to Liaoyang now, the Ming army will block the road between Haizhou and Liaoyang, those routs are basically over.

When Zhang Bin counted the results of the battle, he could only count the number of prisoners and the corpses on the ground, and as for those who ran away, he couldn't count whether they returned to the Jiannu camp or not.

In fact, yesterday afternoon, there were not many people who followed Huang Taiji back to the camp in the west of the city, many of the defeated soldiers did not know where to run, especially the foot soldiers with white flags, they were in the east of the Ming army's vehicle formation, and when they retreated, the north had been blocked by the Ming army, they could only run south, run for more than ten miles or even dozens of miles and then turn back, in order to avoid the interception of the Ming army, they could run back to the camp in the west of the city within one day.

Huang Taiji sat alone in the tent, thinking silently.

The reason for the failure of this war is very clear to him, that is, because the Ming army has too many firearms, and he has a certain understanding of firearms, but he did not expect that the accumulation of firearms to a certain extent will affect the outcome of a major war, let alone that the Ming Dynasty would make so many firearms.

He was unprepared to be Yin by Zhang Bin to lose so badly, if he had been prepared, he would never be so embarrassed, you know, he specially equipped the Eight Banners with heavy armor to resist the firearms of the Ming army, and the facts have also proved that the defensive effect of the heavy armored infantry against the Ming army's muskets and thunder is quite outstanding, but this time he was caught off guard by Zhang Bin and had to lead the cavalry to support the camp in the south of the city to suffer such a big defeat.

In fact, he still has a certain degree of confidence in resisting the Ming army's firearms, because since the beginning of the Battle of Sarhu, they have seen the power of various Ming army firearms, but he didn't expect that the Ming army led by Zhang Bin has so many firearms.

As for the chariots, he was not very worried, the chariots attacked the city, as long as he prepared more rockets, and when the time came, he would be condescending and shoot rockets over, except for those steel chariots with iron thorns, the other chariots were basically waste.

While he was thinking about it, the guards outside suddenly said loudly: "Qi Great Khan, the leaders of the Dotero, Sunit, Uzhumuqin and other tribes have fled back. ”

"Oh!" When Huang Taiji heard this, he couldn't help but get up from his handsome position, came to the door of the big tent, and asked with a little excitement: "How many people did they bring back?" ”

One of the guards arched his hand and said, "There are probably thousands, and the small ones are not counted." ”

When Huang Taiji heard this, he waved his hand directly: "Gather a thousand personal guards and go to the Mengbaqi camp with Ben Khan to have a look." ”

Thousands of men and horses are also a lot of combat power, at this time he is just short of cannon fodder, and the leaders of Dotro and other departments are back at the right time, but this time the losses of the Eight Banners cavalry are too heavy, and they have to go to comfort themselves, lest they have too much resentment and have different hearts.

To say that Huang Taiji really doesn't have much brilliance in fighting, his most powerful thing is to command his subordinates, whether it is a civil minister or a military general, whether it is the Mengyuan tribes or the Han people who belong to him, he can govern and obey, this point, he is not known how many times stronger than Chongzhen!

At this time, in order to prevent the Ming army from raiding, he has given up the north camp of the city, all the horses and horses of this expedition have all gathered in the west of the city, and the west camp has also been reorganized, he led the full eight banners of the foot soldiers in the middle, Qierharang led the full eight banners of cavalry to live in the north, Dolgon and the Azig brothers led the Mongolian eight banners of the cavalry and the defeated Mongolian eight banners of the cavalry and the Han eight banners of the infantry to live in the south, if the Ming army came to raid, he ran if there were more people, and he fought if there were fewer people, anyway, there were the eight banners of Mongolia and the eight banners of the Han as a buffer in the south. He wasn't worried about being caught off guard by the Ming army.

After he led his guards to the Mengbaqi camp, he pretended to cordially comfort the leaders of Dotro and other departments, gave them some wounded medicine and treasures, and told Dolgon and Azig to take good care of the wounded soldiers, and then Shi Shiran returned to the Manchurian Eight Banners camp in the middle.

And the heads of the Duotro and other departments also pretended to be flattered, and seemed to be very grateful to Huang Taiji, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that everyone was just a relationship between enslavement and enslavement, and now, such a good opportunity to get rid of Houjin's control, how could they hesitate, as soon as Huang Taiji left, they began to secretly contact the leaders of the clan and other Chahar tribes, preparing to defect from Houjin and lead the army back to the Chahar grassland!

Zhang Bin put down his cruel words at the beginning and let them throw themselves into the arms of Daming to fight against Jiannu, but when they discussed later, they did not force them to deal with Huang Taiji together, because these guys are not reliable, if the persecution is too urgent, they may promise themselves on the surface, but go back to tell Huang Taiji, and then join forces with Jiannu to yin themselves.

This has to be guarded against, so Zhang Bin only asked them to lead the army back to the Chahar grassland, and did not force them to work directly with Huang Taiji, and he did not return all the wounded soldiers to others, but just picked more than 10,000 cavalry who were not seriously injured and asked them to bring back some of them, and put back some of them in batches, as for the rest, they still stayed in the camp of the Fuguang Army, and helped them take care of the seriously wounded.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that these captives are hostages, and if the leaders of Dotro and the other departments dare to play any moths, he is likely to slaughter all the captives left behind!

These leaders of the Chahar tribes really don't dare to play any moths, hostages are one of the reasons, and more importantly, they really don't think that Huang Taiji can avoid this, so as soon as Huang Taiji leaves, they begin to actively contact the leaders of the clan and other Chahar tribes, and secretly prepare.

On this day, Jiannu's camp in the west of the city did not seem to have happened anything else, that is, there were many Eight Banners, Meng Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners of the rout fled back one after another, until the evening, almost all of them came back, the next morning at about midnight, Huang Taiji ordered the army to set off from the camp and return to Liaoyang, ready to resist the attack of the Ming army.

As soon as they moved, the Ming army naturally found out, and soon, the Fuguang army, the Qijia army, the Tianxiong army and the white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army in the south of the city gathered together and slowly pressed over.

As soon as the Ming army was launched, he ordered Dolgon to lead the Meng's Eight Banner Infantry to form a formation in the south of the camp, preparing to resist the attack of the Ming Army, and to gain time for the retreat of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners Cavalry.

However, this time the soldiers of the Eight Banners were not so honest, and after Dolgon conveyed Huang Taiji's order, not only did they not run south to form a formation, but they swarmed to the west!

When Dolgon saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly rushed over with his personal guards and shouted at the leaders of Dotro and the other tribes: "What do you want to do, dare to disobey the orders of the Great Khan, do you want to die?" ”

At this time, the leader of the Dotro tribe was also out of the way, and he actually stiffened his neck and said: "We don't want to do anything, we just want to know the Chahar grassland." ”

When Dolgon heard this, he couldn't help but threaten: "If you dare to rebel, be careful that the Great Khan will send people to slaughter your tribe when the time comes." ”

The leader of the Dotro tribe didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, so he replied coldly: "You are all thinking about slaughtering our tribe when you are unable to protect yourself, let's see if you can escape the slaughter of the Ming army." ”

With that, he waved his hand and fled all the way to the northwest with the foot soldiers and cavalry of the Chahar Division.

At this time, Huang Taiji also received a report from his subordinates, he looked at the Ming army slowly approaching in the distance, and then looked at the Mengbaqi infantry and cavalry who were gradually moving away, and waved his hand directly: "Order, stop packing up your baggage, bring the grain and grass, and retreat immediately!" ”
