Chapter 1834 - It's Hard to Come Back and It's Even Harder
Huang Taiji was not afraid of casualties in the Qing army in battle, after all, how could there be immortals in a war, and the troops with real combat effectiveness were often not afraid of death, and in a confrontation with an opponent like Haihan, a large number of casualties would definitely not be avoided. But if thousands of soldiers have died, let alone see the dawn of victory, or even hope of changing the tide of battle, then it may be a different matter.
The Qing army is currently in such a predicament, and the troops that are constantly throwing themselves into the battlefield have disappeared into the roar of guns, and they are still unable to achieve the combat goal of hand-to-hand contact with the Haihan army. At this distance, the Qing army could only suffer a one-sided slaughter, and there was no chance to even counterattack.
The essence of the Qing army's operational thinking is actually to exchange human lives for the advance of the battle line, shortening the combat distance to a face-to-face fight before there will be a real chance of victory, but this tactical thinking has long been seen through and used by the commander of the Haihan army, setting up such a special battlefield at the moment, so that the Qing army wrongly judged the situation and thought that it could rely on the superiority of troops to break through the Haihan position.
Of course, the death and wounding of several thousand people has not shaken the fundamental strength of the Qing army, but to continue to fight a war of attrition with no hope of victory is no longer within the Qing army's plan to go to Korea this time. Huang Taiji hesitated for a moment after receiving the report from the front, and finally ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
This round of fighting was much shorter than the previous battle, and the casualties of the Qing army were nearly half less than the last time, and the Haihan generals had expected the Qing army to pay the price of tens of thousands of casualties before considering stopping, but this moment obviously came earlier than they expected. Qian Tiandun was also a little surprised by this, and he even suspected that this was deliberately done by the Qing army, trying to lure the Haihan army to pursue and kill again.
"Withdraw? The enemy is withdrawing?" Jin Shangxian trembled and held on to the guardrail of the watchtower, a little unable to believe his eyes, this was obviously still in the middle of a fierce battle, why did the Qing army suddenly withdraw its troops. Of course, he hopes that the Qing army can withdraw from his country as soon as possible, but he hopes that the Haihan army can inflict heavy losses on the Qing army in the battle as they promised, and today's battle situation is even less intense than the previous round, which makes Jin Shangxian, who is bent on watching the excitement, inevitably feel a little disappointed.
"It seems that the killing is still too ruthless!" Qian Tiandun can only use this as an explanation for the withdrawal of the Qing army from the battlefield, but he is not dissatisfied with Gao Qiao Nan's on-the-spot command, once the defense line is broken by the Qing army, thousands of coalition troops and nearly 10,000 refugees in the base will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Of course, although the Qing army withdrew from the battlefield, it did not necessarily have to retreat all the way to Liaodong, and perhaps the next round of offensive would be launched after a two-day or three day break. But Qian Tiandun could already feel from the Qing army's active retreat that the other party's fighting spirit was fading little by little, and perhaps after the battle was over, the other party would be ready to pack up and go home.
"I think we can get the navy ready to go. Wang Tom, who watched the whole battle, was more direct, believing that the Qing army took the initiative to withdraw troops before tens of thousands of people were put into the battlefield, which fully demonstrated the attitude of the commander.
