The Mongol rebellion was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Manchus. If the Manchus wanted to continue their struggle with the Chinese Empire on the steppe, they had to enlist the support of millions of Mongols on the steppe. Without the support of the Mongols, how could these hundreds of thousands of banner men of the Manchu Qing Dynasty confront the empire even if they fled to the steppe, with neither food nor clothing? The Mongols' fall to the empire was undoubtedly like a draw from the bottom of the kettle, completely bankrupting the Manchus' stubborn idea of resistance.

"Damn, why is it like this. The Mongols actually rebelled, so isn't the 1st Cavalry Army already more than lucky? "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu's face was full of frustration. With the loss of the 1st Cavalry Army, half of the strength of the Qing army has been lost!

"No wonder the Russians were ambushed, and this qiē was all the cooperation of the Mongols. The 1st Cavalry Army must have been finished, otherwise with them in front, the ambush of those rebels would never have succeeded. Chief Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing also said.

"Your Royal Highness the Regent, Lord Wen, you two have a quick idea! What the hell are we going to do now? "The Minister of Military Aircraft, Mu Zhang'a, is like an ant on a hot pot, and he doesn't know what to do at all.

"Lord Wang, for the sake of today's plan, we can only retreat immediately. Without the support of the Mongols, if we continue to go north, it will be a dead end. Wen Qing said. Now, the basis for going north has been lost.

"But I don't go to the grassland. Where do we go? "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu said blankly. Flee to the steppe, continue to resist the Chinese Empire, and then restore the country with the help of Russian power. This has become their last resort. But now it seems that this path is no longer feasible. There is an interception in the front, and there is a chasing soldier in the back, Aixin Jueluo. Mianyu was completely desperate.

"Lord Wang, let's find a way to go to the northwest. Tibet, Xinjiang and Gansu are still in our hands. Besides, the northwest is also moving away from Russia, if we can escape to the northwest. There is still hope for us. Wen Qing said. Although the northwest was a barren land, it was still in the hands of Manchu officials. Manchu minister in Tibet, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, governor of Xinjiang and general Ili. All were Manchu officials.

"Yes, yes, we go to the northwest, we haven't lost yet, and there is hope for a comeback." Ai Xin Jueluo. Mianyu hurriedly said. It was as if a drowning man had grasped a straw. Wen Qing's words. Let him see the last hope.

"Lord Wang. Master Wen, how can we go to the northwest? Now there are rebel armies all around, and Shanxi has also been conquered by rebels, so we have no way to go to the northwest! Mu Zhang'a said. Indeed, although the northwest was still under the control of the Manchus. However, after the empire took control of Shaanxi and gained the support of the Mongols, the Manchu and northwestern connections were severed.

This time. There was a commotion from the front, which made the regent love Xin Jueluo. Mianyu and the others all changed their faces.

"What's going on? What happened? Chief Military Minister Wen Qing asked.

"Your Excellency. Water! The water of the Yanghe River has turned red! An officer told him.

Wen Qing and the others ran to the river to take a look, and sure enough, the originally clear river water had been dyed red without knowing when. This undoubtedly means that the battle ahead was very fierce, and many people have been killed. That's why the river was stained red with blood.

"Lord Wang, we can't hesitate any longer. Immediately diverted, crossed Yanshan, then crossed Taihang Mountain into Shanxi, and then crossed Shaanxi from Shanxi into the northwest, this is our only way to survive. Said the Chief Minister of Military Aircraft.

"But what about these people?" Ai Xin Jueluo. Mianyu asked. This trip to the northwest must be a difficult and dangerous journey, and the army may be able to successfully arrive, but if you bring these hundreds of thousands of banner people, then don't think about success.

"Lord, now is not the time for a woman's kindness, we must give it up. For the sake of the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, I can only give up on them first! Wen Qing gritted his teeth and said. The number of bannermen was already small, and in addition to the losses in the war, these hundreds of thousands of bannermen were almost their last foundation. Abandoning these banner people means that the foundations of the Manchu Qing have been abandoned. But if they didn't, how could they have escaped from the encirclement of the Chinese Empire?

"Okay!" Ai Xin Jueluo. Mianyu finally nodded. He knew that there was no other way now, and if the ministry abandoned these bannermen and ordinary people, he would fall into the hands of the Chinese Empire. At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be completely finished, and there will be no power to return to heaven.

"Dada! Dada! At this time, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves ahead, as if it was a muffled thunder sounding in the sky.

"Enemy attack! Get ready for battle! The officers of the 2nd Army of the Qing Army shouted bitterly. They were attacked by the 1st and 2nd armies of the Imperial cavalry from the front. After dealing with the Russian Cossack cavalry, they began to attack the Qing army non-stop.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! The crisp sound of horse pistols rang out, and the Qing cavalry who drew their swords and prepared to meet them fell to the ground one after another. The imperial cavalry began to use their horse pistols to kill these Qing cavalry who tried to resist.

"Lord Wang, my lords, the rebels have attacked, they have at least tens of thousands of cavalry, we are about to be unable to resist, Lord Wang and your lords should prepare early!" The commander of the 2nd Cavalry Corps of the Qing Army reported to them with a panicked expression.

"How did those rebels come so quickly? Could it be that those Russians have already been dealt with by them? This question arose in everyone's minds, but there was no doubt that the Imperial cavalry would be able to attack them at this time, which meant that the Russian cavalry had been settled.

"Let's go, Lord Wang, it's too late!" Chief Military Minister Wen Qing urged.

"Let's go!" Ai Xin Jueluo. Mianyu turned on his horse and took the lead in leaving the official road and walking towards the mountains to the west. Hundreds of Praetorian guards followed him. Wen Qing and the others also hurriedly followed. In addition, the Manchu emperor, Emperor Xianfeng, was also forced to act with them. In any case, Emperor Xianfeng was the nominal emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if he fell under the control of the Chinese Empire, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The 1st and 2nd Imperial Cavalry Corps inflicted a heavy blow on the 2nd Cavalry Corps of the Qing Army. The Qing army rushed to meet the battle, suffering heavy casualties. In addition, the strength of the Qing army was far inferior to that of the imperial cavalry, and almost at the beginning of the battle, it fell into an absolute disadvantage.

The sudden battle caused hundreds of thousands of banner people to panic, and everyone fled to the deep mountains and old forests on both sides of the official road. The official road is full of horse-drawn carriages and belongings. The voices of children and cries, as well as the screams of those who were killed, converged.

"Lay down your arms and spare you from dying!"

"Surrender or die! Surrender or die! ”

The Imperial cavalry shouted slogans. These Qing soldiers were not Russians, they were all members of the Chinese nation. Although many people are deeply guilty, if they are willing to surrender, the Empire is still willing to let them live.

After all, the emperor's order was not to accept the surrender of the Russians, and not to the surrender of the Qing army. In the decisive battle of the Central Plains, there were hundreds of thousands of captured Qing soldiers.

"I surrender, don't kill me!" In desperation, some Qing soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered to the imperial cavalry.

As the situation faced by the Qing army became more and more severe, more and more Qing troops chose to surrender to save their lives. Similarly, some Qing troops chose to resist, but they were finally wiped out by the completely superior Imperial cavalry.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the battle was over. Of the more than 25,000 people in the 2nd Cavalry Corps of the Qing Army, except for more than 3,000 who were killed, the remaining 20,000 people chose to surrender to the imperial cavalry. But the hundreds of thousands of banner people fled all over the mountains. The Imperial cavalry and the 14th Infantry Corps of the Army, as well as the Mongol cavalry that followed, had to pursue them all over the mountains.

The belongings carried by these bannermen and civilians were also controlled by the imperial cavalry. Boxes of gold and silver treasures are strictly controlled.

"General, the emperor, the regent and the minister of military aircraft of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have all fled from this side of the path!" A low-ranking officer prayed to Monk Greenqin and the others. Although the 2nd Cavalry Corps of the Qing Army had been eliminated, most of the banner people had also been captured. However, the head of the Manchu Qing was nowhere to be found. If the Manchus were to be destroyed, they had to capture their emperor and the Manchu rulers.

"Leave part of the army to watch over the people and property of these bannermen, and the rest of the people will be divided into small groups to pursue. In any case, the enemy must not be allowed to escape! Monk Lingqin coldly gave the order to pursue. Even though the Manchus used to be the object of his allegiance, but now after changing the master, he still did not hesitate to regard the Manchus as enemies.

"Yes, General!" More than 30,000 officers and soldiers of the 1st Imperial Cavalry Army, with battalions as units, fought into the dense forest, and pursued the fleeing Manchu emperor.

Although the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the roads are difficult and treacherous. However, the regent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Aixin Jueluo. Mianyu and the others wanted to escape from the pursuit of the imperial cavalry, but it was almost impossible. Tens of thousands of people have been found after a rigorous search.

The battle ensued, and the gunfire attracted the other pursuing troops, who began to fight against Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu and others carried out encirclement and suppression.

Before the sun went down, the 1st Imperial Cavalry Army succeeded in capturing the Manchu Emperor's little emperor, Emperor Xianfeng, and the regent Aixin Jueluo. Mianyu, Chief Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing, Minister of Military Aircraft Mu Zhanga and others! (To be continued......)
