The sound of battle outside the city had already alarmed the Jianyu in Jinzhou City.

Dorgon had his guards help him climb the wall, and from afar, it was pitch black. Only the sound of horses' hooves and fighting could be heard.

From time to time, explosions were heard, and only then could some figures on the battlefield be seen.

Abatai and other generals had already arrived, and their expressions were excited.

"This is supposed to be a night attack by the Mongol cavalry. How long has the fight been? Dorgon asked.

"Regent, it's been about an hour." Abatai Road.

"It's been an hour and you haven't rushed under the walls?" Dorgon was shocked.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, the Mongol army had nearly 100,000 people, while the Ming army only had 20,000, and it was scattered in a circle.

"In a field battle on the plains with such a huge disparity in numbers, the Ming army can fight for an hour? How exactly did Chongzhen do it? Dorgon seemed to ask himself, and he seemed to ask Abatai.

These days, the Ming army is constantly refreshing his cognition, which makes the combat power evaluation mechanism in his brain confused.

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry, who had been fighting fiercely for an hour, was also full of anxiety, and the Ming army erected a wooden tower two or three meters high behind the shield wall, which was 100 steps away from the shield wall.

The Mongol bows and arrows could not shoot at all, but the crossbow arrows of the Ming army could easily shoot their warriors.

Although they have breached the shield wall on a few occasions, they will be immediately bombarded with mysterious weapons.

Obviously, there was no cannon in sight, but it was frequently bombed, and at the same time, it was fiercely fired by crossbow arrows, and the cavalry that rushed into the interior of the Ming army was quickly surrounded and killed. The cavalry outside watched the Ming army re-erect the shield wall and was helpless.

Gradually, more and more Mongol households found that their ranks were rapidly attritional, until they could not organize an effective attack and began to retreat.

Prince Duanluobu, who was in the rear army, also found that the army had suffered heavy casualties, and began to give the order to retreat, temporarily abandoning the attack.

At the same time, the other four teams of cavalry had already withdrawn from the battlefield.

Duan Luobu retreated 10 miles, and when he counted the number of people, he realized that he had lost 6,000 men and horses.

Soon after, a signal corpsman sent by Gilli Mungo informed of the retreat.

Hearing that the other four cavalry had already retreated, Duan Luobu cursed.

Furious, he went straight to the temporary camp of Ulianghabe.

Duan Luobu blew his beard and glared into the Chinese military tent of Jili Mengge, looked around, and was stunned.

"Prince Gili Möngke, you are ......"

Gillian Mungo was lying on the carpet with bandages on his head and shoulders, and had been unconscious for a long time.

His eldest son, Temuha, had a painful expression and said, "My father was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and chest, and his forehead was even injured by a bomb by the Ming army, and the bleeding was stopped just now. ”

"What? The prince was so badly wounded! Duan Luobu was shocked and said in his heart, no wonder they withdrew from the battle so early.

Duan Luobu crouched down to look at the bleeding bandage, which didn't feel like a fake, and asked, "How is your loss?" ”

Temuha's face twitched, "Our 30,000 cavalry have killed more than 14,000 people!" Together with the wounded, the losses were almost half. ”

Duanluobu's face was full of shock, and he stared at Temuha with wide eyes, hoping to find traces of lying in his pained eyes.

When he saw that Temuha's expression was sad, and he did not believe it, he simply ran out of the tent and rode his war horse back and forth in the temporary camp of Uliangha.

Most of the Uliangha soldiers knew him and did not hinder him.

Duan Luobu inspected three or five laps before returning in a huff.

At this time, the sky had begun to lighten, and a group of cavalry in the distance was weakly rushing towards this side.

When Duan Luobu received the report, he immediately got on his horse and greeted him with a dozen of his own soldiers.

"Duan Rob! I heard that you have only lost 6,000 men, and you are so intentional that you can't even do your work! ”

Prince Heta of the Korqin Department scolded angrily from afar.

"What do you mean that there are only 6,000 people, you want my army to be wiped out!" Duan Luobu's temper came up directly, "When will it start, there are more dead people to work and work again!" ”

Prince Heta's angry beard was cocked, "Just because of the ineffective attack of your department, a large number of Ming troops blocked our department, and finally sent cavalry to pursue, killing more than 10,000 people in our department!" ”

Duan Luobu was shocked, the Horqin Department was the closest to Shenyang, and a large number of cavalry were taken away by Dolgon early in the morning, and a considerable part of the cavalry that was completely annihilated on the Shanhaiguan battlefield were their men and horses.

This time, they only came with 20,000 cavalry, and they killed more than 10,000 in battle!

For Korqin, this can be regarded as a missing arm and a broken leg.

Duan Luobu carefully calculated, Korqin 10,000 plus the 14,000 people killed in the battle of Uliangha and his own 6,000 people, overnight, the Mongol army died 30,000 people!

The Ming army was obviously only 20,000 people, scattered on the periphery of Jinzhou, and while guarding against a sneak attack in the city, it was already a miracle to withstand the concentrated charge of 70,000 cavalry at five points.

How could there be such a result.

At the end of the day, in the camp of the Ming army, Wu Sangui and Li Yutian sat in the tent of the Chinese army, listening to the report of their own soldiers.

"After counting, a total of nearly 30,000 heads were killed last night, 3,000 ownerless war horses and 20,000 dead horses were chased. Our army ran out of crossbow arrows and grenades, and more than 4,000 soldiers were killed. ”

Hearing the report, Wu Sangui's face turned pale. After the first battle, the army was exhausted, and so many people died.

Thinking that the crossbow bolts were running out, the grenades ran out. As long as the Mongols attacked for half an hour more yesterday night, or even an extra stick of incense, the Ming position might collapse.

Wu Sangui touched the head on his neck, and said that he was very lucky.

"Lord Li, listening to the sound of horses last night, Mongolia can have an army of 100,000. Although 30,000 people died in the war now, it is still not to be underestimated. Wu Sangui said slowly.

Li Yutian's face is much better than Wu Sangui's, and his goal is very clear, that is, to win Jinzhou and get a knighthood, so it is the main battle.

"Not to mention that Mongolia has a maximum of 100,000, it is more than 100,000, and 30,000 died overnight, and he doesn't dare to attack again. This battle can ensure that our army will not fight for 100 days! Pinciber don't have to worry. ”

Wu Sangui really didn't want to continue fighting, his plan was to retreat to Ningyuan, wait for reinforcements, and then attack.

At that time, Dolgon will definitely flee north, and there will be no famous generals in Jinzhou City, so it will be easy to break through.

However, Li Yutian was bent on capturing Jinzhou and capturing Dolgon alive, and he was the governor and took care of himself, although he called himself Ping Xibo on weekdays, but he really didn't dare to scold him.

Seeing that Wu Sangui didn't speak, Li Yutian continued: "Quickly go and collect crossbow arrows, sort them out for backup, and throw all the heads of the people killed last night into the city with catapults." Shock the captives! ”

"Order!"

Wu Sangui silently walked out of the big tent, looked at the south, and said to himself:

"The area around Gyeonggi was plundered by thieves for more than a month, and it can even be said that people and money are empty. The saint is indeed heroic and sage, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and I don't know how many reinforcements can be sent. ”

In the city of Jinzhou, Dolgon stood at the head of the city, also looking south.

Since the city of Beijing was broken, Chongzhen is like a different person, and even Guan Ningjun is like a different group of people.

Last night, the horses' hooves rolled, and everyone thought that they would be able to get out of trouble today, but when the sun came out and saw the wilderness outside the city, everyone was disappointed.

None of the Mongolian reinforcements who were full of expectations were seen, and the trenches were still lying outside the city, and the Wuzi and Li banners were still flying high.

The Guan Ning Army, which should now be called the Yulin Left Guard, was able to resist the onslaught of several times its own cavalry.

Unbelievable!

"Report! The Ming army threw tens of thousands of human heads into the city with catapults! ”

Dolgon's expression was indifferent, and he sighed, "Got it." Collect it, incinerate it intensively, and don't cause the plague ......"
