"This is a defeat, how can it be defeated? How could it be defeated! Looking at the fleeing Qing army from afar, Duoduo gritted his teeth.

"Master, no, defeated, master, go quickly!" One of the white-armored soldiers beside Dodor said to him.

"I have never been so defeated since my father Khan raised an army in the Qing Dynasty...... "Duoduo is still a little unable to accept the reality.

The white-armored soldier looked up into the distance and saw that the cavalry of the Ming army was moving towards him.

"Master, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. If you don't leave, it's too late! The white-armored soldier said anxiously.

Dordor turned back and looked over to Azig, and saw that Azig had divided his men into two shares, about two hundred men each, and rode toward the battlefield.

At this time, several Qing cavalry also ran over from Azigo's side, saw Duoduo, and saluted: "Our master asked me to tell Baylor that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. It's time to retreat. Our master said that he had sent some people to harass the Ming army and help see how many people could escape. Lord Belle can also leave some people to contain the Ming army......"

The popularity of war horses in the Qing army was very high, in fact, except for those coats, most of the armored soldiers were horseed. The infantrymen who were sent out to charge just now were actually all horses. It's just that most of the Eight Banners Army of my Qing Dynasty are actually heavy infantry on horseback and mobile, and when they fight in formation, they still rely on foot combat, so the horses are all placed behind. In this way, now that these people around him have two or even three horses, Duoduo feels that with so many horses, it should not be a problem for him to retreat. Just looking at the infantry in front of him who was still retreating this way, he was still a little reluctant.

"If I bring the cavalry, harass the Ming army a little, and drag them back, I can't say that I can save a little more people back! But if I go first, I'm afraid they won't have the heart to fight......" Thinking so, Dodor ordered, "Everyone get on board!" Mergen, Tunji, each of you take five hundred men, hold back the enemy's cavalry, and the rest follow me, and we will go and rescue some of them!" ”

With such an order, Dordor rushed forward with his horse caravan. Duoduo knew that the little cavalry in the hands of Morgan and Tunji might not be able to stop the opponent's cavalry, especially the opponent's heavy cavalry. But he only needed them to hold back the cavalry for a while, so that he had time to threaten the pursuing Ming infantry, and give the defeated infantry time to regroup and retreat in an orderly manner.

Zheng Sen looked at the enemy army on the opposite side from a distance, and when he saw that Duoduo had put in the last bit of strength, he sighed and said, "Ning Ren, you see, the Tartars are still very good at fighting. They were very decisive in their reserves and the timing was very good. Unfortunately, I have limited cavalry and cannot stop all of them. Although this battle was won, it was impossible to completely annihilate the enemy army. But they want to retreat like this, but it's not so easy! ”

At this time, on the battlefield, the cavalry of Duoduo was already entangled with the cavalry of the Model Army. Because of the gap in horses, weapons and equipment, as well as tactical capabilities, the exchange ratio between the two sides was very unfavorable to the Qing army. The cavalry of the Qing army was constantly chopped off their horses by the cavalry of the model army. In fact, the cavalry of the Qing army that rushed forward at this time was not a serious cavalry at all, and most of them were originally infantry on horseback. They were inferior to the Mongol cavalry in terms of horsemanship, but compared to the Mongol cavalry, they were more determined to fight. Therefore, although there were heavy casualties, these cavalrymen still became entangled with the cavalry of the Model Army despite the efforts of the casualties.

Relying on the sacrifice of these cavalry, he bought time for Dord, who personally rushed over with more than a thousand cavalry, trying to attack the infantry of the Model Army from the flank. The Model Army infantry, which was in pursuit, had to stop and line up against this cavalry. As soon as Duoduo saw the Model Army infantry in formation, he immediately retreated and attacked the other Model Army infantry who were still pursuing. Relying on such constant attacks, he constantly disrupted the rhythm of the pursuit of the model army infantry, and won his infantry some opportunities to escape. However, the role of these more than 1,000 cavalry is still limited, they often temporarily drag the model army infantry on this side, but they can't hold back that side, and when they move to that side, the model army infantry on this side has turned into pursuit, because of the physical advantage, they soon caught up with the fleeing Qing army. Duoduo could only run on both sides of the battlefield, and at the same time, he was constantly being shot with muskets by the model infantry, and he felt a little tired.

However, Duoduo's efforts made the fleeing Qing infantry much less stressed, and some of them had already run to the starting position, grabbed the horses where they were placed, and began to continue to flee.

One hand grabbed Duoduo's reins, and Duoduo, who was galloping on horseback, turned his head and saw that it was his protector Fu Cheng.

"Master, let's withdraw, the horsepower is running out, and a lot of people have died, if we don't withdraw, it's too late." Fu Chengdao, "You see that the masters of Aji have also withdrawn!" ”

Dodor looked up, and in the confusion he saw that Azigo had left the battlefield with his cavalry, ready to turn in.

"Dog thing! Run fast! There are many people here, so he is naturally not distressed! Duoduo scolded bitterly, but he also knew that his horse was almost at the limit, and that the cavalry used to hold back the Ming army had been exhausted. It's just that the cavalry of the Ming army also ran out of horsepower in the battle with them, so they didn't kill them immediately. If you don't go, wait for the cavalry of the Ming army to recover a little horsepower, and then your own war horses continue to consume, then I'm afraid you really won't be able to go.

"Let's go!" Dodor. At the same time, he grabbed the horse's belly and ran into the distance.

After the Dordor retreated, there was nothing left to stop the pursuit of the Model Army, and the Jianshen who ran in front rode the horses they had grabbed and fled, and those who fell behind were caught up by the Model Army and easily killed from behind.

The battle began at noon and ended at sunset, when Duoduo and Azigo fled with their cavalry, and in addition to thousands of Qing troops who grabbed horses and fled, they fled haphazardly, completely losing their formation. Moreover, there were many more Qing troops who failed to escape from this battlefield, and Zheng Sen estimated that the Qing army left at least five or six thousand corpses on this battlefield. This is also a big defeat that the Manchus have never had in so many years. After such a blow, the troops of the two white flags in the pass were no longer a threat. The road to Beijing has been completely cleared.

……

Naturally, it is impossible to completely conceal Li Zicheng from such a battle. Soon Li Zicheng got some news. He gathered his men together.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Liu Zongmin asked.

"I just got the news." Li Zicheng said, "The Tartars and the Ming army fought a battle in Tongzhou. ”

"How many people? The result? Liu Zongmin hurriedly said.

"Our scouts didn't dare get too close." Li Zicheng said, "But there are tens of thousands of people on both sides combined." The Ming army was victorious, and it is said that the corpses of the Tartars were piled up like a mountain, and I don't know how many died. ”

"How many Ming soldiers died?" Liu Zongmin asked again.

Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Liu Zongmin frowned, the Tartars were defeated, and they were defeated very badly, so there is no need to think about the Tartars for the time being. It's just that the losses of the Ming army are not clear, so it is impossible to judge how much combat strength the Ming army has left, and it is difficult to decide what to do next.

"Your Majesty." Bull Venus spoke.

"What does the Prime Minister think?" Li Zicheng asked.

"Your Majesty!" Niu Jinxing bowed down and said, "Weichen doesn't really understand how to fight. However, Weichen wants to ask, now the Ming army that fought with Jianxuan and the Ming army who fought in our army some time ago are the same team? ”

Li Zicheng nodded and said: "It should be, otherwise, where would there be so many strong troops in the Pseudo-Ming?" ”

Niu Jinxing listened, nodded, and asked again: "I don't know how Jianxuan compares with the combat power of our army?" ”

Li Zicheng was silent for a while before saying, "I haven't fought again, where can I make it clear?" However, over the years, Jianxuan has almost won a hundred battles against the Ming army, known as 'invincible', thinking about it, it should be stronger than our army. However, our army is also a division of a hundred battles, and even if Jianxuan is stronger than our army, it should be limited. ”

When Niu Jinxing heard this, he bowed again and said, "I don't know what the losses were last time the Ming army and our army fought?" ”

Li Zicheng's face became more and more unsightly, and he said after a while: "That time, I accidentally fell into the trap of the Ming army. The losses of the Ming army should not be large. Speaking of this, Li Zicheng paused, and said: "I understand what the prime minister means." In the art of war, it is said that the enemy should be lenient. Moreover, in the first battle of the Beijing Division, we have earned enough, so we should not take any more risks for a little profit. ”

Niu Jinxing hurriedly kowtowed: "Long live Shengming!" ”

Li Zicheng said: "The prime minister invites you, the prime minister and I work together to create a career, although they are called monarchs and ministers, in fact, brothers, there is no need for such courtesy." ”

"Your Majesty, the ceremony must not be abolished." Niu Jinxing paused again, and then stood up.

"Zong Min." Li Zicheng said, "I feel that we should retreat immediately. What do you think? ”

"Your Majesty, I also feel it's time to go." Liu Zongmin hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this is like gambling, we have already won the sea in front of us, and if we take the money home, we can buy a house, buy land, marry a daughter-in-law and live a good life, and we can't make a big deal with others at this time." And if we win someone's house, we won't get anything, it's like people are willing to give one or two pieces of silver, and they bet with us for 10,000 taels of silver, where do we have the reason to bet with him? wasted the old guy's strength, only won one or two silver when he won, and lost ten thousand if he lost. Fools bet on them! I think it's better to take the money I earn and go home quickly. ”
