Although the Qing army retreated, Gao Yihuan did not dare to relax, and all teams were still in battle to prevent Duoduo from coming back.

Gao Yihuan couldn't figure out why the Qing army retreated, so he could only prepare and lay out at his own pace.

Early this morning, Gao Yihuan asked Kong Youde to be abolished, and then sent someone to send Kong Youde to Nanjing, to offer prisoners to the Ming Dynasty, and to repay the victory.

Nanjing's side has been pulling for a while, and the battle on his side has been over, but he still hasn't decided yet, which makes Gao Yihuan speechless for a while, and admires the efficiency of the Nanjing Imperial Court very much.

He sent Kong Youde to help Nanjing make a decision as soon as possible, so that the next time he fought against the Manchus, he would not fight alone.

In the afternoon, a scout came to report that after the Duoduo army withdrew to Yuncheng, he did not stay in Yuncheng, but left Geng Zhongming to sit in Yuncheng, and let Shang Kexi sit in Luoyang, and then led the Manchurian elite army to return north.

This made Gao Yihuan feel very puzzled, and ordered people to continue to investigate, until six or seven days later, Gao Yicheng came to report and found out the exact news, the reason why Duoduo withdrew his troops was because the Mongols broke through the Great Wall and plundered Shanxi, and Duoduo had to go north to support.

It is said that there are nearly 100,000 Mongols in the south, and the Qing army in Shanxi is not an opponent at all, Jiang Xiang is hiding in Datong and does not dare to fight.

After the Qing Army's Western Route Army entered Guanzhong, the Manchu Qing Army's troops in Shanxi were very empty, only the provincial capital Taiyuan had more than 1,000 Eight Banners garrisoned, and in other areas of the Sanjin Dynasty, only a few green battalions who surrendered were left.

It's okay for these soldiers and horses to bully the people, but when they meet the Mongols, they will be immediately blinded, and the northern Jin Dynasty is full of looting Mongolian cavalry.

The Qing court could only urgently order Duoduo and Azig to return to Shanxi, beat the Mongols out, and even completely defeat Mobei Mongolia, solve the northern border troubles, and at the same time recover a part of the Mongols to supplement the attrition of the Qing army.

Gao Yihuan always thought that the Mongols wore the same pants as the Manchus, but this news still made Gao Yihuan feel a little shocked, and he didn't think that the Qing army actually fought with the Mongols.

This is also because he didn't learn countless things before, and his knowledge of history is very shallow, but when he heard the news, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Mongolia invaded the border, and the main force of the Qing army returned north, which meant that his crisis was temporarily lifted.

Gao Yihuan was originally a little worried that the Qing army deliberately lured him north to pursue, but now he didn't care about it, even if he let Wu Shizhao lead his troops north, recapture Xiping County, and drive the Qing army out of Runing.

Time is almost on the Shangyuan Festival in a blink of an eye, and Runing City has already come out of the shadow of the war.

Because of the relationship between the Qing army and the soldiers, the people did not have the heart to celebrate the New Year, and now as soon as the Qing army retreats, they are all ready to have a good Shangyuan Festival.

Every household in the city made a Lantern Festival, lit lanterns, set off fireworks, and the family was reunited.

After a big war, being able to reunite as a family is even more precious and hard-won.

The government and the squires also paid for the folk artists to play dragon lanterns, lion dances, stilts, rowing boats, and playing Taiping drums, making Runing City after the war particularly lively.

The marshal's mansion, the sky has just dawned, and there are a lot of good horses tied in front of the mansion.

More than a dozen generals of the Wei Wujun came to Gao Yihuan's mansion together.

After a few pleasantries, everyone walked into the Shuai's mansion together, came to a lobby and sat down, and asked each other what the Shuai had hurriedly summoned them for.

Everyone in the hall was discussing, and at this time, suddenly a guard shouted: "The handsome man has arrived!" ”

Gao Yihuan strode to the hall, sat down with a golden sword, and waved his hand to let everyone who stood up and salute also sit down.

"I have called all the brothers here today to summarize the battle ahead!" Gao Yihuan got straight to the point, "This time we have another fight with the Tartars, what have you gained, tell Ben Shuai about it!" ”

After each battle, Gao Yihuan would make a summary of the battle, see what problems his men and horses had exposed in the war, and then improve them to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

The generals were slightly stunned, thinking that on the Shangyuan Festival, the marshal wanted to eat tangyuanli.

But fortunately, this matter has been summarized before, so when the marshal asks, he will not have nothing to say.

"Dashuai, Duoduo's turtle grandson has been deflated in our hands continuously, and even a figure of Kong Youde's level has been caught by our Wei Wujun. If I want to say, I have to understand that the handsome man is wise and martial, and our Wei Wujun is unparalleled in the world. Zhao Daxian was the first to stand up, said a few words with a smile, and bowed his hands to the surroundings, waiting for the applause of his colleagues.

Gao Yihuan didn't expect him to be so good, he almost killed this guy with a teacup, "Zhao Daxian, you sit down for Lao Tzu!" ”

Zhao Daxian saw that Gao Yihuan was angry, but he didn't expect the sycophant to slap the horse's legs, and hurriedly sat down.

"Which of you says it!" Gao Yihuan glanced at everyone.

The generals knew that the marshal had to listen to dry goods, but among the generals of Wei Wujun, the level of many people was actually relatively limited. They can always see the shadow of the rogue on them, and they still play the same old way, and they haven't thought about improving.

In fact, the martial arts hall has cultivated a lot of talents, but they are all low-level officers, and it is still difficult to get ahead, and the middle and upper echelons of the Wei Wujun are still some old-style generals, and it is difficult to change their habits and thoughts.

Everyone in the hall discussed for a while, and finally Jin Shenghuan coughed lightly and said: "Marshal, this time in the battle with the Qing army, I found that in addition to the Tartars' strong cavalry, the opponent's infantry army is also good. When he commanded the defense of Xiangcheng, he fought an offensive and defensive battle with the Tartar infantry army, and felt that it was still quite difficult to fight! ”

After the Qing army retreated from Xiangcheng, Jin Shenghuan rushed to Runing.

Gao Yihuan straightened his body, "This is a post-war summary, we are not ashamed to close the door and expose our own shortcomings." This is all to improve our combat power, you are embarrassed to mention it now, and you will shed blood in the future! ”

Saying that, Gao Yihuan looked at Jin Shenghuan and said approvingly: "Huchen, you go on!" ”

Jin Shenghuan continued: "Dashuai, during the last Ruzhou War, we relied on the earth-shaking thunder to make the Tartars suffer. In this war, the Tartars also have this thing, which will cancel out our advantage. The humble post is mentioned here, and it is all the experience that the soldiers shed their blood in exchange. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at his colleagues in the hall, "The heavy steps of the Tartars are all wearing double armor, and the swords are difficult to hurt, and it is difficult for the Miao knives in the hands of our soldiers to break the armor, and even the spears are difficult to stab them to death." I thought that I had to equip the killer team with a certain amount of blunt weapons, or with some large-caliber guns. ”

Everyone in the hall talked a lot, nodding their heads from time to time, obviously they had all encountered such problems.

Zhao Daxian just lost face, suddenly slapped his thigh, and exclaimed, "I also remembered, when I blocked the Tartars in the river valley, Duoduo's turtle grandson also sent a team to fight me." The dog day is nearly thirty paces, and the firearms can't be killed, and the firearms team is panicked! ”

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, asked him not to say it yet, and asked Jin Shenghuan: "Huchen, in addition to being equipped with a blunt weapon and a lifting gun, do you have any other suggestions?" ”

Jin Shenghuan pondered for a while, and arched his hand: "Dashuai, if we want to deal with them, either we will also form a heavy step, or we will study how to break their armor." In fact, the new artillery of the commander is not bad, the Tartar has strong defense, but the action is relatively slow, and the artillery can bombard them fiercely before they get close. It's just a pity that there are too few artillery. ”

The Wei Wujun also had heavy steps, but they did not have much training, and the heavy infantry required to form a wall in formation, swing their swords in unison, and the blockers were invincible. Wei Wujun's heavy steps were indeed just skirmishers in temporary double armor.

Gao Yihuan listened to Jin Shenghuan's words, in addition to his suggestions, he actually had his own way in his heart.

Looking at the trend of history, the armor will eventually withdraw from the stage of history, so he is more inclined to strengthen the power of the gun.

It's just that this involves a problem of cost, like the technology of bronze cannons has been relatively mature, but why didn't a few more guns be built, in the final analysis, there is still no copper problem~

Thinking about this, Gao Yihuan was a little unhappy, her mother was split, she helped Nanjing to beat away the Tartars, why didn't she give Lao Tzu money!
