In this battle, the Qing army was defeated on all fronts, and Halitu and Wang Zhu were defeated with more than 2,000 remnants of the army, and they retreated to the north side of Bailu Mountain in shock, where they met with Leng Rutie and others.

There were more than 100 people left in the Eight Banners of Halitu, Wang Zhi saw that he was defenseless, there was a rebellion in his eyes, he turned his heart sideways, and several generals made a look, and the generals immediately pulled out their waist knives and slashed towards Halitu and other Eight Banners.

Before Haritu could react, he was cut off by Wang Zhu with a knife, and the Eight Banners were slashed and killed by the Green Battalion soldiers, with more than half of the dead and wounded, and the remaining Eight Banners were besieged by several times the Green Battalion soldiers, and they were killed after a while.

Wang Zhi squinted his eyes and asked his subordinates, would they like to defect to the Ming army with him, the generals nodded one after another, Leng Rutie also nodded busily, but Wang Zhi did not go to surrender to the Chongzhen Imperial Court, but took the troops back to the barracks, brought grain and grass, and the whole army retreated to Huguang, and he wanted to defect to the Hongguang Imperial Court.

Leng Rutie mixed in this group of green battalion soldiers, several times wanted to rush out of it, Wang Zhu's troops were insufficient, and he would not let such a few soldiers break up and run away on the way south, and rode his own soldiers on war horses on both sides of the team, Leng Rutie had no choice but to go south to Huguang with this group of green battalion soldiers.

Fifteen thousand soldiers and horses were defeated, Khalitu was killed, Wang Zhu did not know where to go, and when Duoduo got the news, he did not follow his breath, his eyes were black, and he passed out.

When he woke up, he looked at the generals who were full of concern, and said leisurely: "We underestimated the Ming army." ”

The generals are also resolute, they also know that the enemy who defeated Wang Zhi is not only the Ming army, but also the shadow of the Dashun army, it seems that the Dashun army and the Ming army have joined forces, Duoduo has no hope of capturing Bailu Mountain, especially these days to storm Xiaosong Mountain, did not achieve a little success, even a small mountain, did not take down.

Duoduo asked his generals to help him up, then sat down, calmed down and thought about it, the Dashun army and the Ming army joined forces, and the Ming army in the south was attacking Shandong, and the Qing army was strong, but it could not stand a two-line battle, or a three-line battle.

A vicious strategy popped into Dodor's mind, and he could go wild

He, with the troops to withdraw to Beizhili, hold Beizhili and Shanxi and northern Shandong, and give Henan, Shandong and other places to the Ming army and the Dashun army, he doesn't believe that the Ming army can get along with the Dashun army, and the Chongzhen court and the Hongguang court can coexist in harmony?

After making up his mind, Duoduo immediately ordered to prepare for the withdrawal of troops, but his subordinates were confused, but Duoduo immediately rushed to the capital and reported the withdrawal of troops to Dolgon, who had just returned to the capital and pacified the soldiers and civilians in the capital, but waited for Duoduo to withdraw.

He thought that Duoduo captured Bailu Mountain and annihilated the Ming army to give him good news, who would have thought that Duoduo would indeed come to report to him about the withdrawal of troops, which would make Dolgon angry enough.

"How can you be as cowardly as a mouse, Dordor?"

"Regent, my Qing soldiers are strong and strong, but they are all diluted in the Central Plains, it is better to withdraw to rest, let Dashun and Daming eat dogs, and Daming will also bite inside, and Zhang Xianzhong in the land of Bashu will not be willing to survive in that small place in Bashu, give them a bone, and let them kill each other."

Dolgon didn't make an easy decision, and asked people to summon Jilharang, but Jierharang went to Shandong to resist Huang Degong's attack, so he asked people to go to Daishan to invite him, Daishan is the big Baylor, but at this time he is also old.

However, he very much supported Duoduo's suggestion, believing that after the Qing army entered the customs, the troops were scattered, and there was no effort to annihilate the Dashun army, so it was better to withdraw and hug into a group to consolidate the occupied area, and wait for the Ming army, the Dashun army, and the Great Western Army to fight and attack, and the Qing Dynasty had already raised enough energy to complete the integration of all forces, and had the strength to show its fangs again and annihilate the hostile forces.

Dolgon thought about it, it was not easy to withdraw the troops, the Qing army was divided into three main forces, the Azig Department pursued the Dashun army, the Duoduo Department besieged the Shanxi Ming army, and the Jilharang Department resisted the attack of the Hongguang Imperial Court, and suddenly ordered to withdraw, the morale would be hit, and it would be counterattacked by the Dashun army and the Ming army.

If you don't withdraw it, you may be wiped out by the Ming army and the Dashun army, Dolgon thought about it for a night, and the next morning he decided to abandon the southern part of Shandong, and the entire Henan region, these two areas are also broken, and it is not a pity to throw them away.

Order the Azig to withdraw to

In the northern part of Shanxi, stationed in this important place in the northwestern part of Shanxi, maintaining the offensive against the Dashun army and the Ming army, the Lingduoduo Department withdrew to Beizhili, and the Jierharang Department withdrew to Dongchang Mansion in Shandong, Jinan Mansion and Shandong Peninsula, forming a defense line that could block the Ming army from going north and the Dashun army advancing eastward.

After Dolgon's holy decree was issued, dozens of elite horsemen rushed to various places, and after Azig and Zilharang received the holy decree, they withdrew with their troops without saying a word, and Duoduo returned to Bailu Mountain and ordered the Hongyi cannon to bombard Xiaosong Mountain in the first half of the night.

Before retreating, Duoduo organized a huge attack in a frenzy, the main force of the Qing army attacked Xiaosong Mountain, and a small army launched an attack from the back mountain of Bailu Mountain, and Shi Tie, who was stationed in the back mountain of Bailu Mountain, led the troops to block the Qing army's attack.

Many wild Jurchens in the Qing army, climbed over the wall and walked on the ground, and actually climbed up from the back mountain, Shi Tie carried an iron knife and fought with the wild Jurchen, hundreds of Iron Fist Legion soldiers fought to the death, and when Wang Bao and Baidun arrived with reinforcements, Shi Tie was almost about to be divided by the wild Jurchen, and his subordinates were also killed and wounded.

Because Shi Tie fought to the death and did not retreat, he successfully waited for reinforcements, but the strong wild girl Zhen was unable to break through the defense line of the back mountain and was forced to retreat.

The main force of the Qing army attacked Xiaosong Mountain, successfully attacked the position on the east side, destroyed the tunnel on the east side, and launched an attack on the west side, Dong Daqi, Mei Shifeng, Jiang Rangsan three soldiers and horses were defeated, Ling Jingyang joined the battle with the Iron Fist Legion, Zhang Luofu also led the reserve corps of other soldiers and horses to reinforce, to the end, Jiang Hao had to go into battle in person, with his own soldiers rushed into Xiaosong Mountain, and the Qing army fought all night.

In the second half of the night, the Qing army's offensive began to be weak, Duoduo saw that he could not attack for a long time, the morale and physical strength of the troops reached a critical point, and if he continued to fight, he would only suffer unnecessary casualties, and retreated with the whole army before dawn, the Ming army thought that the Qing army was only temporarily retreating, but in the morning of the next day, it was found that the Qing army retreated to the north of Zhili.

Duoduo is also ruthless, with the troops retreated to the Daimyo Mansion Shunde Mansion in one breath, Baoding Mansion garrisoned, Duoduo retreated cleanly, Ling Jingyang and Jiang Hao thought it was a fraud, did not dare to order the pursuit, and waited until the Jiang Xuan troops who came to reinforce the division, only then did they have the ability to pursue the Qing army, at this time the Qing army had withdrawn, the Ming army launched a pursuit at this time, and it was very likely to be eaten by the Qing army.
