This was the last madness of the Qing army, and it was also the last effort made by Dorgon after pouring a lot of spat at the two princes of Hauge.

For this battle, the Qing army mobilized 30,000 elite Eight Banner soldiers at the beginning, braving the cold night weather to advance towards the Hongtang front, which echoed each other with several hills.

The first wave of the offensive was swift and fierce, giving great pressure to the Hongtang front, if it weren't for the timely arrival of the order from Shang Kexi in the afternoon to guard against the breakthrough of the Qing army, so that the Hongtang soldiers had psychological preparation, otherwise the battle of this night would have been even more crisis-oriented.

However, after desperately blocking the first wave of the opponent's and the most ferocious wave of offensive, the hearts of Shang Kexi's soldiers were mostly relieved, and the next Qing army's offensive was still fierce, but it did not see the threat to the Hongtang front at the beginning.

Until the sky gradually dawned, the Qing army charged and advanced more than ten times, but they were all repelled by the Hongtang army, and the other party was not given any chance.

The front line was fighting, and the auxiliary soldiers of the Qing army in the rear were not idle, taking advantage of the cover of night and the distracting sight of the soldiers in front, they were working overtime to pack their luggage, preparing to retreat after the sky cleared.

It's not that Dolgon is afraid that the disabled Hongtang army in front of them will take advantage of their own retreat and other empty obstacles to pursue, but sometimes, they can take advantage of the current situation to do something, and it is good to be careful, and no one can predict how the situation of the battle they will face next will change.

The sky was bright, and the Hongtang front was in shambles, and the corpses of our soldiers on both sides fell horizontally on the snow, staining a snowfield red.

After a night of fierce fighting, when the Qing soldiers retreated, this retreat withdrew more than ten miles from the battle line, and by the time they resettled near the Gongchangling Walled City, it was already the middle of the day, and it was time for the afternoon.

Shang Kexi looked at the retreating long line of Qing soldiers, and sighed, but unfortunately they did not have enough troops in their hands, and they could not seize the opportunity of the other party's retreat to take a bite, otherwise they would not be able to make the Qing soldiers suffer a small loss.

But they can be regarded as having achieved their previous goals, and with the withdrawal of the Qing army, their goal of resisting the enemy on the front line of the Gongchangling Walled City has also been achieved.

The only pity is that the Gongchangling Walled City, which was built by the people and horses for more than half a year, fell into the hands of the Qing soldiers.

"Report! In the direction of the eastern flank of our army, a large number of troops were found advancing, and it was very likely that the target was the retreating Qing army! ”

The scouts who suddenly ran back reported a piece of news that surprised Shang Kexi and them.

"What is the size of the number?"

"The rough estimate should be more than 30,000!"

The scout's face was strange, and he wanted to say his opinion again and again: "Because of the snow weather, we don't dare to get too close to investigate, but soon our subordinates always feel that the weapons and equipment and clothing of this army are very similar to my Hongtang army, I wonder if the division commander knows where the other party belongs?" ”

"What?"

Shang Kexi and Lu Shijie were both very surprised, although they didn't dare to fully believe the scout's report, they also believed in each other's eyesight, and they couldn't help but guess in their hearts where this team that suddenly came out and waited for them was sacred.

However, Shang Kexi and they didn't have much eyebrows, Bai Yushan and they were subject to bad weather, and Li Tianyang's order to let them march independently, except for reporting to Commander Wu Jie in Phoenix City, they didn't have much contact with Shang Kexi.

Even the scouts sent last night, in the fierce battle, had not had time to touch where Shang Kexi and them were, and got in touch with the other party, because they found that the Qing army on the opposite side had already planned to withdraw, so they hurriedly went back to report to Bai Yushan and Ma Yao.

In order to avoid the sporadic Qing army's eyes and ears on the battlefield, Bai Yushan and they chased the tail of the Qing army in an arc, and when Shang Kexi and the scouts noticed this army, the other party had approached the Gongchangling Walled City only about seven or eight miles away.

Just when Shang Kexi's scouts noticed Bai Yushan's movement and were still thinking about the other party's affiliation, the messenger sent from Bai Yushan's department came to Shang Kexi's Chinese army camp and gave a clear answer.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Shang Kexi and Lu Shijie were overjoyed, originally they regretted that they could not launch a counterattack because of the lack of troops, but now the arrival of a group of 40,000 soldiers in Baiyushan is not only expected to recapture the front line of Gongchangling, but also can take the opportunity to let the Qing people lose countless troops and lose countless generals, consuming their last combat effectiveness.

In order to catch up with the retreating army of the Qing army, the people of Baiyushan did not hesitate to chase after each other this time, and when they encountered any turmoil along the way, they all held the mentality of preferring to kill the wrong and not let go, and tried their best to ensure the secrecy of their own existence.

The Qing army focused more on the direction where Shang Kexi's first section was located behind them, but because of this, they did not send more scouts to pay attention to the enemy in other directions, which gave Bai Yushan and them an opportunity to take advantage of.

The scouts sent out by Bai Yushan are distributed within a radius of several miles in front of the large army, and their team members are the elite of the indigenous tribal warriors, although they are not yet accustomed to the northeast pass outside the ice and snow world, but when it comes to the familiarity in the jungle, they are not inferior to the elite of the Qing Dynasty Jurchens.

Many of the soldiers on both sides who fled during the battle last night, the original locals of this area, but whenever there was a stir, the Hongtang scouts who scattered it swarmed to control it.

Therefore, until now, the Qing Dynasty had already arrived at the army of the Gongchangling Walled City, and they had not yet noticed the ill-intentioned army behind them.

"Stop!!"

On the slope of a hill backed by the Gongchangling Walled City and about five miles away from the Walled City, Bai Yushan suddenly issued an order to stop the army, which surprised Ma Yao, who had commanded such a large army for the first time and had not been on the battlefield for too long.

"I said Xiaobai, you asked the brothers to bite the tail of this Jurchen before, and now you are about to catch up with each other's footsteps, why did you tell us to stop?"

Ma Yao relied on his age to be older than Bai Yushan, and he was stunned to give Bai Yushan a nickname, which made Bai Yushan really cry and laugh, and now he can only listen to it.

"The enemy army has now arrived at the Gongchangling Walled City, occupying a geographical advantage, let's move forward further, out of this hill that blocks the view, the large army will inevitably fall into the eyes of the other party, and the effect of the surprise attack will not be achieved."

Bai Yushan patiently explained to Ma Yao, because of the relationship between Ma Yao and Li Tianyang, Bai Yushan took special care of Ma Yao in small things: "And you see the soldiers of our team, this road is in a hurry, and the physical strength is very heavy, and it is time to recuperate and replenish physical strength to deal with the next battle." ”
