Badali led his troops to surrender to the Datong army, and the other leaders of the Horqin tribe were the most frightened.

The strongest in the Horqin tribe is the brother of Manzhu Xili, Hai Lanzhu and Da Yu'er. This person's father had followed Badali's father and made an appointment to fight Nurhachi together. As a result, he lost and took the lead in taking refuge in Houjin Tartar.

In fact, it was Budazi, who was Badali's uncle. Huang Taiji set up a flag in Horqin, and Budaqi became independent and no longer obeyed Badali's orders.

There is also Hongguoer, Hauge's father-in-law.

These Horqin chieftains were all beneficiaries of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They were afraid that Badali, with the help of the Datong army, would lead his troops back to the Horqin grassland and swallow up all their people and grasslands.

"Lord Wang, let's go north for a decisive battle!" Manzhu Xili said.

He is the brother of Da Yu'er, and he has long been tied to the Manchu Qing, and it is absolutely impossible to rebel.

Hongguoer also said to his son-in-law Haoge: "Lord, Badali wolf son ambition. If you don't kill him this time, when he returns to the grassland, he will definitely make a mess of Horqin! ”

"Lord ......"

"Lord ......"

Leaders of the Horqin Tribe, your words, my words, Hauge said a pain in the head.

Finally, Hauge spoke: "Withdraw the troops!" ”

"Lord Wang, you can't withdraw!"

The leaders of the Horqin tribe were shocked, they were reluctant to fight before, and they were more or less secretly lazy to release water. But after Badaali defected, they wanted to fight the most, and they had to kill Badaali.

"Withdraw!" "After you withdraw to Shanhaiguan, return to Horqin immediately and divide up the tribes of Badali and the grassland. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the annexation of the tribes and the grassland was used by birds, and Badali led the troops back to kill all of them.

Everyone knew that the Manchus would not work, and if Badali was killed, even if the Manchus were destroyed, they would still lead the people to submit to the Datong court. But if Badali is still alive, it will be an end.

But Hauge could only withdraw his troops, he had discussed with Man Dahai and had already analyzed the current situation.

The fact that the Datong army was able to scatter so many cavalry in Yang Village can only prove one thing, Li Zicheng was either destroyed or ran away with his troops. Only when there was no big enemy behind him, did the Datong army dare to send cavalry to cover the southern battlefield with all its might.

Li Zicheng was reluctant to fight the Datong army alone, and Haoge and Man Dahai were equally unwilling.

On that day, the Manchu cavalry was exhausted, wandering between Yangcun and Dingzigu, making it appear that they wanted to control this battlefield. After some fighting, the cavalry of the two sides suffered casualties on each other, with more than 300 casualties in the Datong army and more than 1,000 casualties in the Manchu cavalry.

In the evening the cavalry retracted, and immediately left the camp in the evening. Moreover, the whole army ran so fast that the superfluous people were gone, and by the afternoon of the next day it was close to Lutai (Ninghe District).

On the side of the Datong Army, Fei Ruhe handed over all the cavalry to Li Dingguo to command, with a total of more than 15,000 cavalry to chase after him, including the Chahar and Horqin Mongol cavalry who surrendered to Cheng.

The infantry was divided into two, and a part returned to garrison Tianjin to prevent Li Zicheng's main force from coming back. Some of them followed the cavalry forward, and after the cavalry bit the Eight Banners Army, they calmly went over to fight a decisive battle.

"Dada......"

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded, and fifteen thousand cavalry came overwhelmingly.

Mandahai said, "Lausa, you go!" ”

Gualja Lausa was a fierce general, brave and good at fighting, and was elected as the commander of the Garayi Zhangjing (Forward Commander), and has now been promoted to Meljangjing (Deputy Commander).

This product specializes in tough battles, and fought against Hong Chengchou in history, and died because he rushed too hard.

"Lord Wang, make sure to bring back the head of the barbarian general!" Rausa dismounted and bowed, and led the cavalry out to kill.

The Manchu cavalry was numerous, mixed with a large number of mounted infantry. Coupled with the Mongolian cavalry accompanying the army, there were more than 20,000 people, divided into five teams and rushed towards the Datong cavalry.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Datong dragoons did not talk about martial virtues, so they shot from a distance, and then immediately slipped away.

After changing into flintlock muskets, the dragoons did not bother to dismount. Ride a horse to release a gun, run on a horse, and after stopping, ride a horse to reload ammunition.

With tens of thousands of soldiers, Yuan Shizhong returned to the Datong Army in Henan. At this time, he had been promoted to the commander of the cavalry battalion, and although there were only 500 people under his command, his combat effectiveness was stronger than his previous tens of thousands.

The cavalry on both sides dispersed and spread over the vast wilderness.

After Yuan Shizhong fired a shot, regardless of whether he hit or not, he led his cavalry battalion to flee four or five miles away. It was not until he threw the Manchu cavalry far away that he ordered the ammunition to be reloaded, and then rode his horse and charged towards the enemy.

"Bang bang bang!"

At the sound of gunfire, five hundred flintlock muskets were fired, and more than a dozen of the nearest Tartar cavalry fell in an instant.

After shooting, he slipped away again.

The Manchu cavalry couldn't catch up, the armor and bows and arrows were twenty or thirty catties, and a few elites even reached thirty or forty catties, how could they not keep up with the speed of the armored dragoons?

Combined, there were more than 30,000 horsemen on both sides, scattered across the battlefield within a radius of ten miles.

There were no cavalry corps charged, and they were all scattered into small formations. This was originally the habitual tactics of the Manchu cavalry, and the Manchus liked to fight like this in cavalry warfare, but now it has become the magic weapon of the Datong dragoons.

Lausa led his troops to chase for several miles, but he couldn't catch up at all, and the Datong dragoons were so disgusting that they didn't even enter the range of Manchu cavalry.

The effective range of the horse bow is twenty or thirty meters, and more than thirty meters is light and powerless. The range of the flintlock pistol was more than double that of the horse bow.

"Bastard, come over and fight!" The Tartar slammed Raussa roared.

The Manchus learned to form dragoons, but most of them were equipped with arquebuses, and only a few hundred people in Kong Youde's hands were new flintlock pistols imitated by the Manchus - the production capacity was insufficient.

Because of the chaotic war, Li Dingguo, as the commander of this battle, has long been unable to control the overall situation. Just like the enemy general Rausa, who could not control the Manchu cavalry, they could only command a few nearby troops.

The anomaly of Kong Youde's cavalry was discovered by Huang Fei.

Huang Fei was Zuo Liangyu's subordinate general before, but he was the first to change his flag in Shandong, and his military position was already able to command 2,500 people.

"Blow the trumpet, surround these Tartars!" Huang Fei rode close to his herald.

"Woooooooooooo

The horn sounded, and the nearby dragoons approached, intending to surround Kong Youde's troops.

"Retreat!"

Kong Youde was shocked when he heard the trumpet, he chased too far ahead, and he was already alone. The main reason is that the traditional cavalry of the Manchu Qing ran too slowly, and was gradually pulled away by the Datong cavalry, and only the Manchu dragoons could keep up with the speed.

More than 1,000 Datong cavalry, loaded with ammunition, quickly headed towards Kong Youde.

"Bang bang bang!"

Kong Youde led his troops to rush out of the encirclement, but left behind more than 30 corpses, including his son Kong Tingxun.

"Woooooooooooo

Laussa was also blowing the trumpet to gather troops, and he felt that it was not a way to fight like this, and that he had to gather cavalry to engage the Datong army at close range.

The Manchu cavalry gradually gathered, and with two incense sticks, nearly a thousand people had been lost.

The Datong cavalry was not in a hurry to catch up, but methodically loaded their ammunition, and then slowly approached the enemy.

Rausa waved the flag order, wanting to outflank and cut the battlefield and leave a part of the Datong cavalry behind.

"Woooooooooooo

Li Dingguo began to blow the trumpet and ordered the whole army to retreat without giving the enemy any chance.

Anyway, his combat goal was to drag the Tartars and wait for the main force to come over for a decisive battle.

At this moment, Haoge and Mandahai, with infantry and baggage troops, took the opportunity to continue their march towards Lutai. It's already very close to Lutai, and you can defend it by retreating, instead of being caught up in the wilderness.

Badali led his own Mongol cavalry, and his whole brain was already dizzy.

He couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Datong's allies at all, and he was confused about moving forward and backward. Until now, it has only been running back and forth, not a single Tartar cavalry has been killed, and not a single cavalry himself has died, as if he has come to the battlefield to engage in an armed parade.

Daiqin's side was similar, and the Chahar cavalry was confused, and was even almost caught up by the Manchu cavalry.

How did the cavalry become like this?

The Mongol knights did not understand.

The two sides fought until the evening, and fought for four hours.

Although the battle was lively, most of the time it was horse-riding, and the casualties on both sides added up to two thousand. Among them, the Manchus contributed eighty percent of the casualties. As for the Datong cavalry, only three teams were accidentally bitten, and after a melee fight, more than 300 people killed successfully broke through.

That night, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty retreated to Lutai, which was still 360 miles away from Shanhaiguan.

The next day, the Manchus continued to withdraw their troops.

Li Dingguo could not pursue immediately, because the Manchu cavalry, with the cooperation of the infantry, crossed the river and waited on the other side of the nearby river.

Li Dingguo then led his troops to the north, a full 40 miles, and finally left aside the Manchu cavalry and passed through a bridge over the Ji Canal. When he caught up with the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty again, he was already almost at Kaiping Zhongtunwei (near Tangshan).

The men were sleepy and tired, and they did not fight, so they stopped far away to rest.

They didn't have much food with them, and most of their ammunition was consumed, so they could only carry knives and kill them for another day.

On the third day, he fought for half a day, destroying more than 1,000 Tartars and killing more than 200 himself. But the ammunition was exhausted, the food was almost exhausted, and the attempt to attack at night was discovered, so he could only return in the direction of Tianjin.

Fei Ruhe himself stayed in Tianjin, Zhang Tieniu had already led his troops to chase after him, and Li Dingguo's cavalry was supplied halfway, so he broke away from the main force to catch up.

When the main forces of the two sides met again, the Manchu army had already withdrawn to Luanzhou, only 180 miles away from Shanhaiguan.

"Dada-da-da!"

A fast horse rushed from Shanhaiguan, only saying that there was an important military situation to see Hauge.

Haoge opened the letter and was immediately dumbfounded: Yaozhou was defeated, the two white flags were almost destroyed, and the two yellow flags suffered heavy losses. Yaozhou was lost, Haizhou was lost, Anshan was lost, and Weining Camp was lost.

Hauge found Mandahai and handed over the military letter.

Man Dahai looked at it and was speechless for a long time.

After some discussion, Man Dahai said: "It can't be delayed, otherwise the southern barbarians in Liaodong will definitely block the passage in Liaoxi, and we tens of thousands of people will not be able to go back." Tonight, he left the people's husbands and baggage, and only let the soldiers carry a few days' worth of food with them. ”
