Duoduo led the cavalry in pursuit, and in the face of the blows of bombs and firearms, he himself suffered hundreds of casualties, but he only caused dozens of casualties to Li Yan. He felt that he could not go on like this, so he had to ask his troops to stop the pursuit.

However, Li Yan also stopped two hundred paces away, forming a confrontation situation. His men hurriedly loaded their ammunition, swapped places, and the cavalry, which had run out of bombs, moved to the front.

Duoduo was overjoyed, thinking that Li Yan was going to have a real showdown with him. Because Li Yan has four or five thousand cavalry there, he only has three thousand here, and it seems that Li Yan has the advantage, so he thinks that Li Yan will come over to fight.

But as long as the two sides hedged past each other and exchanged positions, then Li Yan's cavalry fell into his encirclement. Even if Li Yan's cavalry had firearms, the casualties caused to them were greater. As long as this cavalry is eliminated, it will be much easier for them to retreat or continue to fight.

Duoduo gave an order, and the Eight Banners cavalry rushed towards Li Yan again. They were angry at Li Yan's insidiousness, but they were also afraid. Each of them is experienced in a hundred battles, and where have they ever seen this kind of fighting is simply a slaughter of them. However, they also knew that with this cavalry following, they were not at ease about anything, and they had to eliminate them as soon as possible.

They all beat the horse's belly, so that the speed of the horse immediately increased, so that they could rush over as soon as possible. They don't shoot arrows anymore, and their horse bows don't have much advantage anyway. They all lowered their bodies, held weapons, and were ready to fight directly.

Li Yan was not fooled, so he still let his troops turn around and retreat. However, the speed was not too fast, and when the Qing cavalry approached, they threw bombs and opened fire in the back.

The Qing army learned to be obedient this time, and when they saw that Li Yan was still the same method as last time, they stopped the pursuit with interest. There are not many of them Manchurians, and they can't afford such consumption either.

For Li Yan's slipperyness, Duoduo scolded his mother angrily, but he couldn't do anything. The other generals also scolded and scolded, saying that the Han people had no heroes and did not dare to fight with them with real swords and guns.

After a while, Azig also stopped the whole army and came to Dordor with his personal entourage. said: "Simply, let's kill the whole army back and wipe out all Li Yan's troops."

"Can you extinguish it?" Duoduo said helplessly: "We don't even have cannons, and the cavalry can't rely on it at all, how can we destroy it?"

Azig said viciously: "Then surround them, starve them to death, and die of thirst."

Dorgon shook his head: "If it can be surrounded, Dorgon will not withdraw." ”

Nikan interjected: "Prince Yu, our Qing Dynasty has never been so embarrassed. Look at the soldiers of each banner, they are no longer arrogant in the past. We can't withdraw anymore, we want to bring back the glory of our Qing Dynasty."

Duoduo hesitated for a moment, but still ordered: "Tulai, you lead 1,000 taels of yellow banner cavalry, and break off with 3,000 Han cavalry, and you can't let the enemy cavalry get close to the army within two miles." ”

Turai said dissatisfiedly: "Prince Yu, since my two yellow flags entered the customs, I must go forward in every battle. After more than ten battles, with more than 700 casualties. The Han army is also newly defeated, with heavy casualties and a fallen military spirit, how can we go to the rear"

Duoduo frowned and scolded: "It's just half a day today, and tomorrow will naturally rotate other departments." Since entering the customs, who is not brave enough to kill the enemy, you two yellow flags should show more credit."

Although Turai was resentful, he did not dare to argue with it. If Dolgon had been there, he could still make some sense, but Dordo had always been a high-flying and domineering character. Now it's another time when the morale of the army is frustrated, and maybe it's really possible to cut him down. The only blame can only be blamed on Dolgon's chess and the reduction of Hauge's title. Emperor Shunzhi is a child again, and these people with two yellow flags can only be bullied.

Seeing that Turai was silent, Duoduo and Azig returned to the Chinese army and continued to lead their troops towards General Pass. They have sent forward troops to capture the general pass so that the army can pass through without a hitch.

Azig said helplessly: "This time we have suffered heavy losses, more than the damage in the Songshan Battle back then. If Li Yan controls the north, it will not be easy for us to get in. ”

Dordor, however, was not so pessimistic, and said, "Not so. There are so many passes on the Great Wall, we can come back at any time. Now there is Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan and Li Zicheng in Shanxi, plus we are restrained outside the customs, even if Li Yan has three heads and six arms, it will not take a few years. We have consumed the Ming Dynasty to death in decades, so what does it matter if we wait a few more years. ”

"I hope so." Azig was still depressed and said, "This Li Yan is a little different, it's not easy to deal with." ”

Li Yan saw that the Qing army brigade began to advance again, so he immediately chased after it with cavalry.

And the cavalry of the Han army, which was at the end, no longer had the courage to fight. The Eight Banners soldiers could still shoot a few arrows, causing some casualties to Li Yan, but few of them could shoot their bows and arrows on horses, and they only took a beating, which made their morale even more low.

Several of them were given a bow and a pot of arrows, and they were asked to make a temporary cameo appearance as archers. Bows and arrows are so easy to use, without two or three years of training, can they be archers, they can be regarded as open-minded, they didn't listen to Turai's orders, they didn't dismount and release arrows at all, and when Li Yan's cavalry approached, they immediately fled backwards.

The cavalry of the two yellow banners slashed and killed several Han cavalry, but they could not stop the rout of the Han cavalry at all. They didn't want to stay behind and be shot by Li Yan, so they also turned around and started to flee for their lives. They avoided the rear of the army, causing the rear team to panic.

Li Yan took advantage of the panic in the rear of the Qing army, rushed over and released a few bursts of handcuffs, killing and injuring some Qing soldiers.

The Qing army, which had only walked less than five miles, had to stop again, and Azig rushed over with a large group of cavalry to drive them away.

Li Yan repeated his old tricks again, and while escaping, he gave some casualties to the pursuing Qing army. However, the Qing army was not stupid, and they opened the formation early, sparsely, so that his bombs did not have much effect. However, the sparse formation made the cavalry in front of them the target of several handcuffs, and the casualties of the Qing army were not small.

The Qing army knew that if they wanted to drive Li Yan away completely, they would have to pay a great price. Therefore, they did not leave the rear troops behind, and when Li Yan caught up, the cavalry of each department took turns, as long as Li Yan was driven away from a certain distance. Their goal now is to get out of the customs as soon as possible, and they don't think about anything else.

After it got dark, Li Yan retreated with his cavalry and stopped in an abandoned village. At the same time, personnel were sent to the rear to pick up their baggage. In order to prevent the night attack or siege of the Qing army, he placed the sentry far away, and let the troops take turns to rest and guard in four groups, so that they could respond in time if there was a situation.

The Qing army had no intention of sneaking up at all, they quickly looted several villages and towns, and after getting grain and grass, they hurried to Jiangjun Pass overnight. Without Li Yan's harassment, they were willing even if they didn't rest. As long as they are out of the Great Wall, they are safe.
