Duoduo never expected that just when the Qing army was about to complete the siege of Xifengkou, the Ming army would abandon the city and flee. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info waited for the Qing army to attack the city, except for some bloodstains caused by arrow wounds, not even a single corpse of the Ming army was found.
The road to the south has been blocked by the Qing army, and if the Ming army wants to escape, it can only escape into the prairie. In fact, this is what the Ming army did, long before the battle began, they prepared their horses to the north of Guancheng, and as soon as they saw the Qing army climbing to the top of the mountain, they immediately withdrew from the battle, mounted their horses and galloped quickly northward, and disappeared into the vast steppe in a short time.
This can make Duoduo depressed. Although he could be regarded as completing the task given to him by Huang Taiji, he spent a long time and paid more than 100 casualties, and he didn't even capture a single head. Now Duoduo is "a pony who thinks the road is narrow", and he can't wait to destroy thousands of enemies in a single battle, how can such a record not make him lose face. In particular, he also ordered a thousand Qing troops to cross the mountains and mountains, but the ridges were also turned over, and the Ming army also fled. If you knew this was the case, you might as well not go over the mountain!
Therefore, Duoduo was extremely unwilling, and after the rear army brought up the war horse, he immediately led a thousand cavalry into the grassland to pursue the Ming army. However, due to the time lapse too long, the Ming army ran away early. In these years, there is no aircraft reconnaissance, GPS satellite positioning, and the vast grassland, where can he go to find it?
Duoduo had no choice but to lead his army back to Xifengkou. Although the pass was taken, the obstacles on the road were still not cleared, and it took the Qing army more than half a day to barely open a road, and the army and heavy vehicles such as grain and grass came up one after another. By the time Huang Taiji arrived in Guancheng, it was nearly dusk.
Huang Taiji stood on the head of the city blackened by the fire and looked at the grassland, and the gloomy mood of the past few days was finally swept away. Yes, in any case, the operation was generally successful, although some men and horses were damaged, but the Qing army did not break its muscles and bones, and the Han army flag could be replenished in large quantities. And the money, food, and materials that were snatched were enough for Manqing to use comfortably until next year.
More importantly, this is a process of eliminating the other, although the Ming Dynasty held the Beijing Division, but dozens of prefectures and counties were looted, and even burned, the people were ten rooms and nine empty, and production was greatly damaged.
Of course, Huang Taiji would not give the Ming Dynasty such a long time, he had already made up his mind that as soon as the ice and snow melted in spring next year, he would immediately enter the customs again. This time, it may not be possible to go to Xifengkou, because the Chahar Department has been completely defeated, and no tribe in the Mongolian steppe dares to oppose the Manchus, and the Qing army can break through the Great Wall and invade south at any point from Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west. With such a long front, the Ming army was simply unable to defend against it.
Huang Taiji also planned to learn the lesson of this time, and no longer attack the capital division with strong cities and artillery, but turn to plundering other regions. And he also realized the power of the Ming army's firearms, and the class teacher has been thinking about how to get some firearms on the way. Thinking of the few people he had seen before entering the customs, Huang Taiji laughed sinisterly, he was not without such a way.
However, these are all matters after returning to Liaodong, and the current thing to solve is to get out of the customs as soon as possible. Obviously, the mountain road is so narrow that it is impossible for more than a thousand baggage trucks to cross the Xifeng Pass at once, so they can only wait for the sunrise tomorrow before leaving.
For reasons of living habits, the Huanglong tent of Huang Taiji is still rooted at the foot of the mountain north of Xifengkou. In order to prevent the surprise attack of the Ming army, all the men and horses of the Zhenghuang Banner also went out of the customs and set up camp on the grassland. By the time I was done, it was already late at night.
The rest of the Qing army had to be stationed in place. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was already quite cold on the block, and a large area of grassland began to dry up, and the mountain wind was even more blowing, and the Qing army had to roast the fire on the spot to keep warm.
Of course, Huang Taiji did not relax his vigilance against following the Ming army. He let Dai Shan's Zhenghong Banner and Dege's Zhenglan Banner be responsible for the break, and the two banners were still quite far away from Xifengkou, at least ten miles away. Even if the Ming army raided at night, it was impossible to threaten the safety of Huang Taiji.
Before you know it, it's the second half of the night, everything is silent, and the moon and stars are scarce. The Qing army was exhausted from the march for days, and they had already stepped out of the pass with one foot, and their spirits could not help but relax. Except for a few soldiers on duty at night, most of them had already fallen asleep.
At this moment, a cavalry team of about 500 people suddenly and quietly appeared in the north of the camp of the Zhenghuang Banner. Under the cover of night, they slowly approached the enemy camp, like a lion slowly approaching its prey.
Suddenly, the soldiers on duty at night discovered this uninvited guest and immediately sounded a gong to warn him. In the silent night, the sound of the gong was particularly harsh, and the Qing army with the yellow flag was worthy of being the elite of the elite of the Eight Banners Army.
Huang Taiji also woke up immediately and immediately went out of the tent to watch. At this time, the sneak attacker saw that his whereabouts had been revealed, so he no longer hid it, and immediately rushed to the Qing army camp with a shout, firing his bow and arrows while charging.
Huang Taiji has experienced a hundred battles, but he was not intimidated by the other party. He could see at a glance that the strength of this Ming army was only a few hundred, and it was impossible to pose any threat to himself. He was just about to give the order to counterattack, but Duoduo had already walked over with a cruel smile and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't fight during the day today, and let me lead the army to meet the enemy, this time I will definitely be able to kill all these damn Han people!" ā
Huang Taiji thought the same. This is on the grassland, the Ming army does not have any geographical advantages, and no conspiracy can be used, so it can only fight in an upright manner. If this can't completely annihilate the Ming army, how can Huang Taiji mix?
So he immediately ordered Duoduo to lead three thousand light horsemen out of the camp, and he himself sat in the Yellow Dragon Tent. Zhenghuang Banner is the flag with the largest number of troops in the Eight Banners, with 94 Niulu under its jurisdiction, each of which has 300 people, totaling nearly 30,000 people. With such a strong force, even if the Ming army wanted to play any tricks to divert the tiger from the mountain and attack the west, it would not have any effect.
Duoduo immediately led his troops out of the camp and pounced on the Ming army like arrows from the string. As soon as the Ming army saw the Qing army facing the battle, they ran away without saying a word. Duoduo couldn't help but be furious, thinking that this must be the cowardly and nasty fellows of the day, and trying to play this hit-and-run trick! But now it is different, both sides are galloping on the grassland, it depends on whose horse is fast, whose soldier has more soldiers, and whose cavalry and archery level is high. And in these aspects, the Qing army is far superior to the Ming army, and the scene of beheading the Ming army has appeared in front of Duoduo's eyes!
But after chasing seven or eight miles forward, Duoduo suddenly noticed a black shadow in front of him, which looked like a low city wall. But how can there be a city in this place?
