Looking at Huang Taiji's pale face, Abatai hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the artillery fire of the Dahua Army is too fierce, and the warriors have suffered heavy casualties, so it's better to let them retreat first, right?" ”

Huang Taiji was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, then let them retreat for a while, the lives of our Qing warriors can't be wasted on this in vain." ”

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Abatai was overjoyed, and as soon as Huang Taiji's words fell, he immediately let people blow the horn of retreating.

"Woo woo"

The desolate horn sounded in the middle of the battle at the same time, and the cavalrymen with blue flags, who were being blown up miserably, hurriedly retreated when they heard the horn, and when they withdrew to their own position, Abatai ordered the number of people to be counted, and he almost vomited blood on the spot when he got the result.

There were more than 3,600 people when they attacked, but when they retreated, the number was only about 2,500, which means that they were killed by nearly a quarter of their men and horses before they could get close to the opponent's military formation.

Seeing that Abatai's face was so distressed that his face turned pale, even if Huang Taiji, who always looked at Abatai unpleasantly on weekdays, he couldn't blame him, just patted him lightly on the shoulder and said: "Okay, Abatai, don't blame yourself too much, we didn't expect the artillery fire of the Dahua Army to be so fierce, but from the current situation, it is not so easy to annihilate them in one fell swoop, we still need to think long-term." ”

Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Dolgon on the side secretly sneered. He took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the lives of my Qing warriors are so precious, we can't use the lives of the warriors to touch their firearms, and we have to find another way to deal with the Great Chinese Army." ”

Huang Taiji said noncommittally: "Hmm, Dolgon, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Dolgon said respectfully, "Your Majesty." The younger brother is stupid, how can there be any good way, anyway, the younger brother just listens to the emperor for everything. ”

"This bastard!"

Huang Taiji was almost choked to death by Dorgon's salty words. This guy is ostensibly for the sake of everyone, but he just throws the problem to himself and ignores him, isn't this playing with him, the emperor?

But Huang Taiji is Huang Taiji after all. This emperor didn't do it for nothing, as soon as he rolled his eyes, he turned his gaze to a prince wearing a prince's costume standing on the periphery, "Gongshun Wang, your Han military banner has been practicing firearms skills hard all these years. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is a while, and now that the time has come for you to show your talents, aren't you going to do something? ”

"Oh, yes!"

When Huang Taiji said this, everyone remembered that they also had a firearms unit. Over the years, Huang Taiji has allocated most of the firearms and artillery he has made to him, and now it's time to test the results.

Thinking of this, everyone turned their eyes to Kong Youde, who was standing outside the committee, and Duoduo, who was anxious, simply called out: "King Gongshun, the two phases under your command are all firearms." The cannons and guns that the emperor sees make every year are allocated to you, and now it's up to you. ”

", who did you offend, why did you look at me one by one."

Kong Youde secretly complained in his heart, but he couldn't pretend to be a bear at this time, so he had to take it out and say, "Your Majesty." Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that the minions are unwilling to contribute, but that the minions' men have not yet arrived, and even if the minions are loyal to the emperor, they are powerless. ”

"What, your people haven't arrived yet? How did you get it! ”

Haoge on the side was not happy, although he was very unaccustomed to Kong Youde on weekdays, but at this time he had to look forward to the arrival of Kong Youde's Han military banner. Because the facts have proved that with the development of technology, even if more people do not want to believe it, they have to admit that firearms have played an increasingly important role in the war, not to mention that the Dahua army has taught them a good lesson with facts just now, and the wounded soldiers who are still lying on the battlefield wailing are the best proof.

Not to mention that Haoge, who was impatient, scolded him, but many Manchu princes around him were also waiting for Kong Youde with dissatisfied eyes.

But Kong Youde is also aggrieved, although he has the support of Huang Taiji on weekdays, but there are more people who look at him unpleasantly, his Han army flag is like a stepmother on weekdays, how can he run in front of those authentic Manchu Eight Banners when he is marching? Besides, those guns are not ordinary troubles to handle, and it would be hellish not to fall behind.

"Me, I"

Kong Youde Nuono snorted twice, and simply stopped talking, anyway, I can't afford to provoke you uncles, can't I still hide?

In the end, it was Dolgon who relieved Kong Youde, "Okay, don't blame the king, most of the Han army flags are full of firearms, and those cannons are even more cumbersome, it would be good to be able to keep up with the marching speed of the large army, how can you keep up with it so quickly." ”

"Yes, yes!" Kong Youde glanced at Dolgon gratefully, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minions don't work hard, but that those cannons are too heavy, especially those big generals' cannons, each of which almost weighs three or four thousand catties, and it really can't be fast." ”

Huang Taiji nodded and stopped talking, what Kong Youde said was indeed the truth, and no one could keep up with the fast-moving cavalry with thousands of pounds of artillery.

"Okay, what King Gongshun said is also the truth, don't blame him, so let's set up camp first, rest for two days, and then fight with the Dahua army after the Han army flag arrives!"

As soon as Huang Taiji spoke, all the accusatory language disappeared, and as dozens of horns sounded on the battlefield at the same time, groups of Manchu Qing troops slowly retreated in a neat queue, and disappeared from everyone's sight after a while.

Looking at the Qing army retreating in an orderly manner, Wang Zhi couldn't help nodding secretly, these Qing troops were defeated but not chaotic, even if they were bombarded by their own artillery just now, but they quickly calmed down, and they were worthy of being a strong army that could force Qianming to almost corner.

Wei Jiang, the commander of the Fifth Legion, approached Wang Zhi's side and said, "My lord, the Tartars have retreated, should we send someone to take advantage of the victory to rush and kill for a while?" ”

In Wei Jiang's opinion, it is his own side that has the upper hand in front of him, and now that the Tartars have retreated, they should take the opportunity to pursue, even if they can't be defeated, it is good to build a cheap one.

But Wang Zhi shook his head and rejected his proposal, Wang Zhi raised his horsewhip and pointed at the Qing soldiers in front of him and shook his head and said: "No, you see that those Tartars are retreating but not chaotic, they are much more numerous than us, and we are mostly foot soldiers, the cavalry is limited, if we rashly pursue a bad one, we will fall into the encirclement of the Tartars, and then we will not die but also retreat." ”

Listening to Wang Zhi's cautious words, although Wei Jiang didn't think so, he didn't dare to disobey Wang Zhi's order, but then he quietly sent several teams to investigate the movements of the Qing army.

Unexpectedly, the night guards then reported to him an astonishing news, there were two ambushes on the retreat road of the Qing army, with about 20,000 people, and this news also made Wei Jiang break out in a cold sweat. If you rashly send troops to pursue, and encounter an ambush by the Qing cavalry, you will not have time to form a military formation, and the slow foot soldiers will only be the result of the annihilation of the whole army. After this time, Wei Jiang, the commander of the army who was born as a former Ming general, no longer dared to question Wang Zhi, the boss from a poor military household.

The Qing army was waiting for the arrival of the Han army flag and artillery, while the Dahua army was forced to march for several days, and the sergeants were physically exhausted, so they needed to recover their spirits and arrange a stable camp, and more importantly, they had to wait for the baggage battalions behind to send their ammunition and food.

Three days later, the Han army finally arrived at the front line with heavy artillery, and the baggage battalion of the Dahua Army also sent ammunition, grain and grass to the camp, which also made the commanders of both sides breathe a sigh of relief.

At night, in a golden tent in the camp of the Qing army, the generals of the Qing army who had just dispersed walked out of the tent in groups, and the two brothers, Dorgon and Duoduo, walked together as usual.

Dolgon, who was dressed in white armor, and Duoduo, who was in white armor, and Duoduo, who was in white armor, were very unsightly at the moment, and in the meeting just now, Hauge suggested to Huang Taiji that Dolgon and Duoduo's white flag and white flag be combined with Kong Youde's Han army flag to take the lead, and Huang Taiji actually agreed, although the two strongly opposed, but the iron-hearted Huang Taiji insisted on it, but after all, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and Dolgon and the two had to take over the task in a hurry.

The more Duoduo walked behind Dolgon, the more unwilling he became, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Brother Fourteen, are we really going to send the warriors of the clan to death tomorrow?" It must be known that the firearms of the Han people are not ordinary ferocious, if the loss is too serious, our two banners will be sad in the future! ”

"Sad what! What is there to be sad about! ”

Dolgon turned his head and glared at Duoduo and reprimanded: "If we can't repel the Great Chinese Army, waiting for our Qing Dynasty to have only one way to lose the country, then it will not be a question of whether it is difficult or sad!" ”

Duoduo was anxious, and struggled to say: "But Coco can't just send us, that obviously let us go and die for them!" Fourteenth brother, the two flags of Zhengbai and inlaid white are our roots, but there must be no mistakes! ”

A hint of fierceness flashed in Dorgon's eyes, and he sneered: "Some people want to use the hand of the Great Chinese Army to weaken our strength, but it's not so easy!" There is an old saying among the Han people, telling you to ride a donkey and read the record book and see, if you really want to provoke me, we are not without the strength to fight back. Let's go to the great tent of King Gongshun and visit King Gongshun. ”

"Ahh

For a moment, Duoduo was stunned......)
