Chapter 66 The Qing army suffered a great defeat in the grassland, and the Ming army relentlessly let go of the aftermath

Seeing the Qing army in the military formation in the distance, Geldan knew that this battle would not be able to destroy this Qing army, and he secretly said that it was a pity, if this Qing army could be eaten, the grassland could be worry-free for twenty years.

"Great Khan! The Qing army is less than ten miles away from us. The scout came again.

"Order all units to withdraw immediately!" After giving the order, Gerdan turned his horse's head and left.

Ao Bai came to Hauge's side again with the soles of his feet floating on his feet: "Prince Su, Geldan's men have withdrawn, and we are victoriousβ€”" He began to cry and laugh as he spoke.

"Look at you like that, don't you immediately organize your army to chase the enemy!" Hauge said that he was about to leave.

Ao Bai jumped off his horse, stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed the reins of his horse, and persuaded: "Prince Su, don't dare to chase the enemy, the enemy army is taking the initiative to retreat, who knows if there is an ambush, besides, after this battle, our army has suffered no less than 100,000 people, and it is really powerless to fight again, even if you want to fight, you have to wait for Dozebele's reinforcements to arrive!"

Hauge stared at the bull's eye and looked at Ao Bai in a daze, and then Qierharang also walked over: "Hauge! What else do you want to do, you open your eyes and look at the corpse of this Manyuan, how do you explain to the court in this battle! ”

"Reinforcements have arrived! - "I don't know who shouted, and the whole army immediately rejoiced, and the sound shook the wilderness.

Coming to the front, Duo Ze had a gloomy face, looking at the corpses in the mountains, from the white knuckles he held, we could see how angry he was in his heart, after this battle, the Qing army was absolutely injured, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to launch a war of this scale again in the past two years, and the enemy army was given two years or more in vain.

Hauge saw Dozer coming, and laughed: "I knew you would come, okay, we will immediately counterattack with a large army, and take advantage of the exhaustion of Gerdan's army to kill him by surprise."

"Hauge! You went out of the army without authorization in the most unfavorable weather, causing tens of thousands of soldiers to be destroyed in one fell swoop, and the vitality of our army was greatly damaged, and now you are not awake! ”

Looking at the angry Duo Ze, Hauge's face immediately changed, buddy is the main general, okay, you are a deputy general who reprimanded me.

Doze continued: "After this battle, most of the grassland will fall into the hands of Geerdan, have you ever thought about the consequences, because of your stubbornness, we will not be able to move westward in two years, and we can only turn to defense against Daming, once Daming and Geerdan join forces, I will be in danger!" How do you explain to the court! ”

"Dorze! I am the commander of the army, how to attack is up to me to decide, and it is not up to you to take responsibility, as for how the court asks for guilt, that is the matter of the court, from this moment on, you will honestly go back to the camp for me. Zilharang! You immediately take over the army of Doze and go with me! ”

"Expedition!? Just by virtue of your remnants, more than ninety percent of the more than 200,000 reinforcements are single-handed, long-distance raids, how much combat power do you think there is! Do you have to watch the Qing Dynasty die in your hands before you are willing? Tazawa scolded.

After that, he turned his face and ordered: "Aobai! You immediately lead people to clean up the battlefield, Qilharang, after you lead the 100,000 army to break off, withdraw immediately! ”

Qilharang glanced at Hauge, who was so angry that his eyes bulged out, that he pulled Ao Bai to carry out Doze's order.

Doze also ignored Hauge, turned the horse's head and left.

Looking at the soldiers who were cleaning up on the battlefield, Hauge's heart was full of anger, and soon the army began to retreat, and Hauge hung his head in the rear. Geerdan, who had detected that the Qing army had withdrawn, was satisfied with ordering Dorji and Zaisang, who were still in ambush, to lead the troops back to the camp, and at the same time ordered the soldiers in the camp who did not leave the saddle to lift the alarm and return to the camp separately.

In this battle, Geldan suffered 50,000 casualties, played a momentum, and at the same time gathered hundreds of thousands of grassland population, he was ready to calm the grassland in one fell swoop in the spring of next year.

When the news of the war in the steppe reached Shengjing, Dolgon scolded Hauge for being a human head and pig's brain, and immediately ordered his commander-in-chief, allowing Dolze to temporarily replace him, and led the army to withdraw to Shengjing immediately.

At the same time, the news of the defeat of the Qing army was also obtained in the Ming Dynasty, Gao Yiming was happy for a week, this is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, at least two years is enough for him to move, of course, as a senior dick, take advantage of your illness to kill you, it is a basic quality, he is ready to beat the water dog.

He ordered the mobilization of military horses from Huang Degong, Gao Jie, and Li Dingguo, temporarily formed a cavalry of 180,000 horses, unified under the command of Huang Degong, and asked him to spare the Qing army's large army and attack the baggage army behind him.

Huang Degong according to the order, led the army to ambush the Qing army's rear army in a place called Arai from the north of Wanquan Dusi, although the Qing army also left 100,000 horses in the rear army, but generally the above are wounded people, so under the attack of the Ming army, there were losses of thirty or forty thousand people, angry Duo Ze beheaded the leading generals to show the public, and then did not dare to entangle with the Ming army, and quickly retreated eastward, afraid that Geerdan would chase and kill again, because it was reported that Geerdan's army had been following behind them and had reached Ordos.

Huang Degong, who succeeded in the first blow, did not make any other offensive moves, but went directly south and returned to the territory of Daming, and returned to Wanquan Dusi by detour.

When the news reached Nanjing, Gao Yiming was overjoyed and rewarded the soldiers who participated in the battle, which was a rare victory for the Ming army against the Qing army in the past twenty or thirty years.

When Geldan heard that the Ming army had attacked and killed the Qing army, he turned the jade wine glass in his hand and said: "This Ming Dynasty emperor has some meaning, after retreating south, he has opened his mind, someone is coming!" ——”

"Great Khan!"

"Let Zaisan come to me."

"Yesβ€”"

Leaning slightly, the bearded Zaisang came to the tent: "Great Khan! You call me. ”

"Zaisang, I'm going to send you an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, you go to Nanjing, and meet the Ming Dynasty emperor who has changed his temperament."

"Yes, but the Great Khan, why did we go to him?"

"This time we confronted the Qing army, they attacked and harassed from the side, helped a lot, you go to Nanjing, one to express our gratitude, after all, our war with the Qing Dynasty will not end soon, so we also need an ally to help us contain the Qing army, this is your second mission to Nanjing, to probe the tone of Emperor Chongzhen, to see his attitude towards us, whether he intends to form an alliance."

"My subordinates obey orders, so what do I bring? When to leave? ”

"The southerners like beautiful jade, so you can bring more of this thing, and choose the most beautiful Persian beauties, and bring two of them, and present them to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so that we can have a contact person in the Ming court." Gerdan laughed.

"Please rest assured, the Khan's subordinates will definitely handle this matter well."

Geldan nodded: "Give you five days to prepare, and set off in five days."

"Yes! ——”
