The news of Hauge's death soon reached Dorgon's ears, and he was surprised and delighted to receive the news.

On the happy side, don't say it, the biggest rival who competes with him for power will die, and he no longer has to worry about the threat to power, and from now on, the Qing Dynasty will have the final say. Of course, the surprise is that the Qing army suffered heavy losses this time, and countless Jurchen warriors died under the muskets of the Ming army. Even Hauge is dead, how many of the bannermen of the blue flag will survive?

Cao Bianjiao's men and horses, like the Datong army, also had a powerful musket battalion, and the firing power was very intensive, and the Qing army had already paid a heavy price and could no longer attack recklessly. Dolgon immediately ordered the attack to be halted and the whole army retreated.

With Dolgon's order, Jiannu retreated like a tide, leaving thousands of corpses and Jiannu who were seriously injured and unable to retreat from the desperate pass. These seriously injured and incapacitated Jiannu will soon become corpses, and no one can save them.

After ordering the whole army to stop the attack, Dorgon stood on a hill and silently inspected the battlefield that was still filled with gunsmoke.

The terrain of that mountain pass is very dangerous, and the Ming army chose such a place as a strong position, and it really chose the right place. The mountain pass is like a pocket array, the Ming army does not need too many troops to hold the mountain pass, and the charging side, there is no way to put up too big a formation, the troops that launch an attack can not invest a lot, the density of the Ming army's shooting does not need to be very large, it can block the mountain pass without dead ends, and almost no one can rush to this mountain pass.

"Hauge is really killing himself!" Dolgon couldn't help but sigh.

Even if the Ming army did not have muskets, just relying on bows and arrows and rolling stones to stop it, it could greatly kill and injure the attacking Qing army, unless the Ming army was not the elite led by Cao Bianjiao, but other rabble with extremely poor combat effectiveness, and did not dare to fight head-on with the Qing army, and would be defeated at the first touch.

"Fourteenth brother, we can't attack anymore, we have to think of other ways, otherwise we will have to pay a lot of casualties, Cao Bianjiao's ammunition must be sufficient, even if we consume their ammunition, the price we pay will be very large, we can't attack, we must outwit!" Dordor, standing beside Dorgon, was just in time to express his opinion.

Dorgon nodded slightly, but didn't say anything right away, but continued to ponder.

"There must be other roads nearby, let's find a small way and attack from the back," Duoduo continued, "maybe we can break through Cao Bianjiao's flank by surprise!"

Dolgon still did not answer, but continued to ponder, and after a while, he said softly: "Find a way to find another way to Beijing, Beijing's defense will definitely not be very strong now, and the nearby prefectures and counties will be even stronger, leave a group of people here to confuse Cao Bianjiao and prevent him from returning to Beijing." We don't have much food and grass, and it is impossible to fight a protracted war of attrition with the Ming army, and Hong Chengchou in Liaodong may also make a move. ”

When Dorgon heard this, he was shocked, and immediately understood Dorgon's intentions, and without asking too much, he immediately agreed and made preparations.

Jiannu's first round of attacks was repulsed, and Cao Bianjiao, who was originally tense and nervous, finally came to his senses. After Jiannu retreated like a tide, he let out a long breath and immediately ordered his men and horses to rest on the spot and prepare for another attack by Jiannu.

But to Cao Bianjiao's surprise, after the first wave of Jiannu's attack, he did not gather more troops to attack, but retreated a few miles and prepared to set up camp. This made Cao Bianjiao very puzzled, what trick was Jiannu playing, and he gave up the follow-up attack after a wave of attacks was fruitless.

Did Dorgon think he had too many men and horses, and sent thousands of people to his death? Or send minions to attack in order to drain the ammunition of other men?

Dolgon is a resourceful commander, which Cao Bianjiao does not deny at all, so he does not dare to have any carelessness, and strictly orders his subordinates not to have the slightest carelessness and be strictly guarded.

Cao Bianjiao was also worried about Jiannu's sneak attack from other directions, so he set up guard posts in various dangerous areas nearby and deployed mobile troops in order to detect and respond to the enemy situation in time. At the same time, Cao Bianjiao also sent people to report the situation to Cao Yue and Sun Chuanting in Datong through the path, he did not hope that the Datong army could go out of the city immediately to rescue, but asked Cao Yue to deal with it carefully to prevent Jiannu from playing tricks.

Half an afternoon and one evening, just as the Ming army soldiers were waiting for the battle, and when the sun rose in the air the next day, there was still not much movement in the Jiannu camp in front, and only a few Jiannu were seen rushing back and forth in front of the camp.

Jiannu showed no signs of attacking again, and Cao Bianjiao was very confused.

What kind of trick is Dorgon doing?

The mystery was finally solved in the afternoon, and the scouts reported that the Jiannu brigade had withdrawn from this mountain pass, crossed the mountain from several mountain roads to the south and north, and left quickly.

This surprised Cao Bianjiao, he didn't expect that Jiannu would quietly evacuate tomorrow night, and he didn't expect that the current Jiannu army would not have the courage to fight a tough battle with the Ming army, and they would swallow their anger and flee after suffering a loss.

Where will Jiannu go if he flees from this direction? Withdraw to Shengjing, or attack Beijing or the prefectures and counties near Beijing?

Cao Bianjiao immediately convened the generals to discuss countermeasures and discuss follow-up actions. The generals unanimously agreed that after Jiannu suffered consecutive heavy defeats, he did not dare to fight again, and he must have wanted to retreat to the grassland and make a comeback after recuperation. Jiannu, who has suffered heavy losses, has been going south for a long time, and the supply of grain and grass must be tight, so there is no way to stay south of the Great Wall for a long time.

Regarding the follow-up arrangements, most people tend to continue to march in the direction of Datong and go to Datong to rest and recuperate. After all, they were ordered by the emperor to rescue Datong this time, and after a long journey, people were sleepy and tired, and they urgently needed to rest and replenish various military supplies, which only Datong could solve.

Also, the imperial court once issued an edict that their army would be under the command of Sun Chuanting and prepare to enter Henan to quell the rebellion. Now that Sun Chuanting is also in Datong, the army must go to Datong first and wait for Sun Chuanting's dispatch.

After inquiring about the generals' ideas, Cao Bianjiao also decided to let Jiannu leave, and the army continued to move forward towards Datong.

After making a decision, Cao Yue immediately ordered the elite cavalry to attack Jiannu's big tent. There were not many Jiannu who were left as a barrier, and when they saw the Ming army attacking, they immediately abandoned the camp and fled, and the Ming army destroyed the camp of Jiannu without waste.

While sending a large number of scouts to investigate Jiannu's movements and sending people to contact Cao Yue, Cao Bianjiao commanded his men and horses to continue to march in the direction of Datong, preparing to rest in Datong.

Cao Bianjiao didn't know that the current Dolgon was leading his elite iron cavalry to quickly attack in the direction of Beijing through several newly discovered roads. Everywhere they passed, there was almost no armor left, villages were destroyed, people were killed, food and property were plundered, and hell on earth was restored!
