This news made Turai almost faint, the Hongyi cannon and the gunner were the baby bumps of the Qing army, he took his men to the artillery camp, where there were dead bodies lying on the ground, and there were no short-term gunners, rolling around in pain on the ground, he stepped forward and slashed to death a gunner who saw that he could not live, but had not yet died.

"Don't be stunned, see if there are any alive?"

The subordinates hurriedly searched and rescued the live mouth in the artillery camp, and only found more than 50 still alive gunners, the red-clothed cannon was completely smashed, and some small cannons were dragged away by the cavalry of the Dashun army, and the artillery battalion was beaten like this.

The subordinates shook their heads, and did not look for where the Dashun army came from, a still alive gunner told him that the Dashun army that raided the artillery camp were all cavalry, and it seemed that they were still rushing from another direction, and the Dashun army in the city was not the same soldier and horse, in fact, the gunner was also confused, but Tulai felt that the Dashun army in Xuanfu Town was a strong enemy, and with his troops, not to mention eating the Dashun army, it was very likely to be counterattacked by the Dashun army.

He hurriedly ordered the troops and horses of all departments to assemble, not only the soldiers and horses of the headquarters were assembled, but also let Wang Chengyun and Hong Demao also withdraw, the previous tactics of isolating Xuanfu Bingzhen did not work at all, and then he rode a fast horse and rushed to the capital in person, asking Dolgon to mobilize more troops and pull out the thorn in the eye of Xuanfu Town.

Turai rushed back to the capital overnight and knocked on Dolgon outside the palace, Dolgon thought that Turai had quickly destroyed the Dashun army in Xuanfu Town, and came back to ask him for credit, but Turai came to see him with a disgraced face.

Dolgon was furious, and Turai was also an important minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Dolgon bluntly said that the strength of the Dashun army in Xuanfu Town was strong, and with the strength of his army, he could not win quickly, and asked the regent to mobilize troops and horses from all over the country to attack Xuanfu Bingzhen.

Dolgon's face was pale, Turai was a famous general of the Eight Banners, and he couldn't even gnaw a small Xuanfu Town, but he still held back his anger, after all, the opponent who could make Turai ask for help must be a very powerful enemy.

With a gloomy face, he asked which Dashun army was stationed in Xuanfu Town, and Tulai replied that Dolgon was the rear camp of the Dashun army, and the rear camp was the old battalion of the Dashun army, and its combat effectiveness was super strong, but it could not annihilate the rear camp by relying on Wang Chengyun and other green battalion soldiers and 1,08 banner soldiers.

Dolgon closed his eyes, the main force of the Qing army was gathering in Henan and other places, and there were no other troops to support Tulai, he thought about it and decided to let Jierharang, who stayed outside the pass, lead his troops into the pass, and attack Xuanfu Town with Tulai, and at the same time let Wu Sangui and other Ming generals surrender to the Ming army in Henan, Beizhili, Shandong and other places to recruit and surrender the Ming army to form more green battalion troops.

Zilharang was on the way to the customs at this time, and this time he entered the customs, not only bringing the Manchu Qing troops left behind outside the customs, but also bringing craftsmen who could make Hongyi cannons and all the baggage such as grain and grass.

Some craftsmen entered the customs in advance, with resources and a large number of manpower, and the speed and quality of the cannons were more exquisite, and the productivity was almost more than double that of the outside of the customs.

Dolgon and Turai said: "This king asked the uncle to lead the troops into the pass, and you will follow the uncle to attack Xuanfu Town." ”

Turai hurriedly thanked him, and Dolgon once again issued a holy decree, ordering Azig to lead the main force of the Northern Route Army to attack the Dashun army in Henan and other places, and turn the land and population of Henan into the territory and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

After getting reinforcements, Turai rushed back to Xuanfu Town with his subordinates, and Wang Chengyun had already led the troops to withdraw, Hong Demao also rushed back with his subordinates some time later, and the two partial divisions did not suffer great losses, Turai summoned Ma La, Wang Chengyun and other generals, and told them that Uncle Wang Jierharang was about to arrive on the battlefield, and would bring more artillery, and when the time came, Xuanfu Town would have to be bombarded into rubble, Ma La, Wang Chenroll and others were overjoyed, as long as there was Hongyi artillery support, it was not easy to break through Xuanfu Town.

The Qing army dispatched troops, and Li Guo led the soldiers of the rear battalion to continue to defend the town, but three days after the assembly of troops in Tulai, he received an urgent secret information, which was sent to him by His Majesty, telling him that the former battalion general Gu Kecheng was killed in Dingzhou, and the front battalion suffered heavy losses.

The front battalion is one of the five major battalions of the Dashun army, Gu Kecheng's death is like the Dashun army cutting off an arm, so that some soldiers and horses dare not fight with the Qing army, Li Guo got the information, he was shocked, and hurriedly convened the generals of the rear camp to discuss whether to continue to hold on to Xuanfu Town?

Not only that, after the Qing army Azig defeated the front camp, the whole army went north from Fangshan to Taiyuan Mansion, intending to join Jiang Hao and other rebels, and another main force of the Qing army under the leadership of Duoduo advanced into Shandong, Henan and other places, and a large number of local Ming troops surrendered to the Qing army, becoming the vanguard of the Qing army's attack on the city.

The strength of the Qing army was like a snowball, swelling sharply, Li Zicheng laid heavy troops in Shanxi, and withdrew to Shaanxi with the high-level of the Dashun army, while he stayed in Shanxi with insufficient troops, Li Zicheng asked Li Guo to withdraw to Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi with his troops, and rendezvous with the main force to resist the Qing army's attack on Taiyuan Mansion.

This order made Li Guo decide to give up Xuanfu Bingzhen, although he was very reluctant, he had done so much in Xuanfu Town, and he still had a certain advantage, so he gave up the defense and withdrew to Shanxi, he was very unwilling, but the military order was difficult to disobey, he recalled Gao Yigong, and let Lu Yingbiao return to Tianchengwei with Leng Rutie, and invited Ling Jingyang to retreat together.

After Lu Yingbiao arrived at Tianchengwei, Ling Jingyang warmly and ceremoniously entertained him, Lu Yingbiao went straight to the point, and Ling Jingyang said that General Li was going to give up Xuanfu Town, and the whole army retreated to Taiyuan Mansion, and Taiyuan Dashun Army resisted the attack of the Qing army, and asked Shiying to retreat with him.

Ling Jingyang listened, how can this be done, it is not easy to gain a firm foothold in the gap between Shanxi and Beizhili, how can you say that you will withdraw?

Lu Yingbiao whispered in his ear, the former battalion general Gu Kecheng was killed, the front battalion suffered heavy losses of soldiers and horses, and the Dashun army in eastern Henan and other cities were captured by the Qing army, His Majesty ordered all departments to shrink the defense line, defend Shanxi, and resist the Qing army from Shanxi to attack the base camp of the Dashun army in Shaanxi.

The main force of the Dashun army received losses, but Ling Jingyang still absolutely did not agree to withdraw the troops, he and Lu Yingbiao said, not long ago, his troops and horses defeated the Qing army that attacked Huai'an Wei, and quickly withdrew to Tianchengwei, and the defenders in the city attacked the rebels outside the city, forcing the rebels to withdraw to Gaoshan and Yang Hewei, at least the situation of the Dashun army in the northeast of Datong Mansion is much better than other places, far from the situation of having to give up these two places.

Lu Yingbiao only sent a message, and he and Ling Jingyang said that the rear camp would retreat on 16 May, and the route would be from Xuanfu Town to Wei County, and from Wei County to Yanmen Pass in Taiyuan Prefecture, where the whole army would be stationed to resist the attack of the rebels of Datong Province and the Qing army on the northern city of Taiyuan Province.
