readx; Once the division was decided, the reaction speed of the Qing army was quite amazing. On the evening of the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, the red flag and the inlaid red flag returned from Xuanfu. The total strength of the Qing army in the customs was 160,000, in addition to Amin's 20,000 white flags, 140,000 people have lost nearly 20,000 so far, including 3,000 red flags, 2,000 blue flags, nearly 4,000 blue flags, and the rest are Mongolian eight banners and Han army flags, and the losses are not insignificant.

Fortunately, the three banners of the Emperor Taiji's pro-command, that is, the absolute main force of the three Eight Banner Army, namely the Zhenghuang Banner, the Yellow Banner and the Zhengbai Banner, have hardly suffered any losses so far. That is, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army did not decrease much.

Huang Taiji immediately ordered the division to be held overnight, and the 120,000 Qing troops retreated eastward in a mighty and orderly manner. Huang Taiji also hoped that the Ming army could go out of the city to pursue it without his might, so that he could completely annihilate it in the field battle, so as to get out of the evil breath that has been in place these days.

But the Ming army was not fooled, but only monitored from a distance at the head of the city, and there were no soldiers and horses of King Qin to follow. Huang Taiji was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he had to vent his anger with the city that couldn't move. When passing through Tongzhou, Huang Taiji ordered the Qing army to set fire. Originally, Li Laiheng only set fire to the Tongzhou Health Bureau, where the grain was stored, and the Qing army burned the entire Tongzhou City with a fire. The Menghong Mansion and the Ancient Burning Pagoda where Zhu Youzhen and Chen Yuanyuan met were also burned in this fire.

Of course, the Qing army did not gain nothing. In addition to the more than 200,000 stone of grain they obtained in Tongzhou, they also plundered a large amount of property from various prefectures, counties, villages and towns. In addition to gold and silver, what poultry, livestock, clothing, cloth, pots and pans... In short, as long as it is convenient to take away, the Qing army is all swept away. In silver alone, the amount of looted reached more than two million taels, which was almost equal to the income of the Ming Dynasty for nearly a year.

Originally, the Qing army also captured thousands of civilians, but these civilians had all died in the defense of Beijing. At this time, Huang Taiji couldn't help but regret a little, thinking that he shouldn't have slaughtered the city in Zunhua and other places. Now, although the money and food are abundant, the population has not been grabbed, and it takes a lot of effort to transport the spoils alone.

Two days later, it was not until the Qing army arrived in Jizhou that Zhu Youzhen was convinced that the enemy had really withdrawn. At the same time, two generals, Hao Yongzhong and Li Laiheng, also led troops to be stationed outside the city.

Since Li Laiheng and Li Dingguo were ordered to march south, he and Hao Yongzhong have not seen each other for half a year. Today, I finally won the meeting, not to mention the intimacy. However, after only a few words of greeting, Li Laiheng blushed and whispered to Hao Yongzhong: "Brother Hao, how is Xiaofeng lately?" came to Jingshi from Qinwangzhuang thousands of miles away, and I don't know if she has adapted..."

"You little rabbit cub, don't ask the saint and the ladies if they are healthy, and don't ask you how Brother Hao is doing, just ask Xiaofeng!" Hao Yongzhong scolded with a smile, "Don't worry, Xiaofeng follows your sister-in-law to work in the textile factory, everything is fine in all aspects, and she is fatter than before." It is estimated that the Holy Lord will summon us today, maybe you can meet Xiaofeng today. ”

But the meeting they had hoped for did not happen. Although the Qing army has gone far, for nearly a month, everyone in the city, from the dignitaries to the peddlers and pawns, has been in high spirits, and it can be said that they live by counting the guns and cannons in the city every day. In order to appease the people in the city and make them believe that the city defense was foolproof, Zhu Youzhen did not open the city immediately, and of course the soldiers and horses outside could not enter.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Youzhen issued an order: Hao Yongzhong and Li Laiheng joined forces and followed the Qing army to closely monitor, but they should not stick too close, and keep a distance of at least 30 miles. As for the defense of the Beijing Division, in addition to continuing to be guarded by Xie Sheng's 5th Army Battalion and 3,000 Battalions, as well as the reserve troops in the city, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army was also transferred to Beijing and stationed outside the Taiping Gate to take precautions.

When Huang Taiji learned that the Ming army was following, he was very excited at first, and planned to kill the horse gun and eat this cavalry unit in one bite. Hao Yongzhong was very alert, and before the large army moved, he would always send scouts on Andalusian horses. As long as the Qing army showed signs of turning back, the scouts turned around and ran, and after reporting to the two generals Hao and Li, the two generals were waiting for the battle.

After tossing several times like this, Huang Taiji was also annoyed, and ordered his subordinates to make a sign, with the four big characters of "all officials are exempted", and played all the way along the way. As soon as he used this card to humiliate the soldiers of the Ming army, he came in the hope that the Ming army would not be able to chase after him, then he would have another chance to fight a war of annihilation.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army was not only unmoved, but also played many signs. The content written on the sign is varied, some write "lose the wife and break the army", and some write "expel the Tartars". The largest of them has only three words on it, each of which is bigger than a table of eight immortals: Roll the calf!

Seeing that the psychological tactics could not work, Huang Taiji had no choice but to turn northeast from Jizhou and slowly retreat to Xifengkou through Zunhua. Of course, the two thousand-year-old cities of Jizhou and Zunhua were not spared, and they were all set on fire by the Qing army.

In particular, Jizhou is the place where the governor of Jiliao and the chief military officer of Jizhou are located, and there are 50,000 people in the city, which can be regarded as the leading city in Jingdong. After the fire, there are broken walls everywhere, and even most of the city walls have burned down, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover in ten or twenty years.

After the burning of the second city, the Qing army continued north, all the way unimpeded, while Hao Yongzhong and Li Laiheng fell far behind.

Soon the army entered the Yanshan Mountains. At this time, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the golden wind is cool, and the mountains and forests are dyed. After careful recuperation in the past few days, Huang Taiji's nose bleeding symptoms have been controlled, and he himself feels refreshed.

When he was still in Jizhou, Huang Taiji got in touch with Amin of the Eastern Route Army. Amin's harvest was no less than that of Huang Taiji, in addition to also looting a large amount of money and grain, he also occupied the two cities of Yongping and Qian'an, and was now storming Funing. Huang Taiji immediately decided to let Amin deal with it, and he directly led the main army out of the customs first.

Although it is a pity that this entry failed to achieve the strategic goal of annihilating a large number of Ming troops, Huang Taiji also secretly decided: he must enter the customs every year in the future, and he must not let the Ming Dynasty stop. If nothing else, the endless flow of firearms, which he had never even seen, was enough to make him tremble; If you don't desperately consume the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, if these things are popularized in the Ming army, it will be enough for the Qing army to drink a pot.

On this day, the Qing army was close to Xifengkou. A month ago, when they entered the pass from Xifengkou, the Qing army set a fire in the pass as usual, burning down all the buildings in the pass, and a large section of the city wall was also destroyed. Today, as long as they cross this blackened pass, the Qing army will return to the prairie, which is really a wide sea with a fish jumping, and the sky is high and the birds are flying.

Unexpectedly, a sentinel suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the pass ahead is occupied by a Ming army!" ”
