The smoke cleared, and the east bank of the Xun River.

Duoduo led his troops to retreat eastward for more than ten miles, and the scouts of various departments successively reported that the Ming army did not pursue, so Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief and began to gather the remnants of the army.

Later, Duoduo learned that Wu Shoujin was missing, and the news that Tumut Right Banner Gushan Ezhen Omubu Chuhuer was killed in battle, and he was shocked, but also began to think about countermeasures.

Although Duoduo was defeated in this battle, he was not too depressed in his heart, after all, his own attack was too lacking, there was no shield car cover, no Han people as cannon fodder, there was no advantage in troops, and he was flanked by the Ming army.

Duoduo thinks that how to prepare enough, and then fight head-on with Liu Yan's new army, even if he is defeated, he will never be as embarrassed as now, and the casualties of Liu Yan's new army will never be less!

Then Duoduo ordered the remnants of the Tumut Right Banner to be divided into two, and the Tumut Left Banner and the Mongolian White Banner each swallowed half, Suna and Shanba suddenly smiled, and their losses in this battle were made up at once, and they thanked Duoduo for their kindness.

At the same time, those remnants of the Han army with white flags, Duoduo also ordered that all of them were temporarily placed under the jurisdiction of the white flag of the Han army, and let Shi Tingzhu's slave straighten out after he went back.

"Let's go, withdraw and return!"

Duoduo gave the order, and immediately began to think about how to deal with Huang Taiji's questioning.

At the same time, Wang Yue and Han Qin were also cleaning up the battlefield, and in this battle, the two of them defeated the attack of tens of thousands of Qing troops, which can be described as a great achievement, and their faces were full of smiles.

At dusk, at this time, the Dolgon troops in the north had fled, and Chen Xun's side had also achieved a great victory, so the two naturally did not know, but concentrated on urging the soldiers of each department to count the results.

The new army was wounded in this battle

There were 462 dead and 198 casualties of the 3rd Battalion of the garrison, a total of 660 men. Most of the casualties in the rear camp of the new army were caused by the artillery and guns of the Han army with white flags, so Wang Yue hated Wu Shoujin at this time.

"Dog traitor, don't die well!"

In the tent of the Chinese army, Wang Yue had just finished scolding, and Kang Hui, the commander of the left part of the rear battalion, rushed in excitedly: "Good news general!" The soldiers found Wu Shoujin's body on the battlefield, and the Gushan Ezhen Omubu Chuhuer of the Tumut Right Banner was also killed by the soldiers of the third battalion, and the head was still intact! ”

Wang Yue and Han Qin were overjoyed when they heard this, the two clapped their hands and congratulated, Wang Yue said: "Okay, it's really a good start, the first battle killed the Qing soldiers and the two Gushan Ezhen, immediately sent someone to report the victory to the governor, and kept the head corpse of the two thieves." ”

"Yes."

"By the way, how many decapitations?"

Kang Hui said: "In this battle, the head of the Mongolian Tartar was 2,953 levels, and the head of the Han army with a white flag was 3,106 levels. ”

"More than six thousand levels in total?"

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Okay, look at those Tartars menacing, it's nothing more than that!" ”

Han Qin said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, after all, the Tartars have hundreds of thousands of horses and horses, and a large number of artillery with the army, so it is not so easy to defeat." If the Qing army had not crossed the river on the ice and the army had not been chaotic, our casualties would have been much higher than now. ”

Wang Yue nodded in agreement.

When the lights are on, Pinggu County.

Liu Yan stood on the east city wall, holding a clairvoyant mirror to look east, only to see that the east bank of the Xun River was full of flags, and countless camp tents were densely packed.

Occupy almost all of the East Coast.

At this time, Liu Yan had already received the good news sent by Chen Xun and Wang Yue, and then Liu Yan announced the news and sent someone to report the victory to the capital.

For a time, the main forces of the new army were thunderous, and the morale of the generals of the army was greatly boosted.

"I don't know how Huang Taiji is going to deal with it, how is he going to fight this battle?"

In the big tent of the Qing army, Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, and Dolgon and Duoduo lost their soldiers and returned defeated, which was originally expected by Huang Taiji, but he didn't expect that the soldiers and horses lost by the two of them were all Han army flags and Mongolian flags, and the soldiers and horses of the two white flags in Manchu were not damaged!

"So, the combat power of the Ming army is stronger than that of the Battle of Jinzhou?"

After listening to Dolgon and Duoduo's report, Huang Taiji asked in a cold voice.

Dolgon said: "Your Majesty, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the new army of Liu Yan's department, the original new army camp has been equipped with flintlock birds, and the pikemen have been cancelled. There are more than 10,000 people in a battalion of the new army, and each of them has a bird's gun, and its firepower is very strong. When it came to close combat, those Ming soldiers added a short sword to the bird's gun, and turned the bird's gun into a short spear for hand-to-hand combat, and the combat power was very strong! ”

In the big tent, Haug, Azig, Abatai and others were shocked when they heard this, so how could this battle be fought?

Doesn't it mean that among Liu Yan's army of more than 100,000, there are tens of thousands of birds? Coupled with the artillery in Liu Yan's army, how many casualties will be inflicted on the warriors of each banner when they bombard it together!

Huang Taiji's face also changed, and then said: "In this case, Prince Rui and Prince Yu should sit down, this battle can be fought like this, and it is not all your problem." ”

Two white flags at this time

The strength is still there, Liu Yanbu is eyeing him again, and Huang Taiji is not easy to persecute too much, so he temporarily let the two go, and at the same time made some of the decisions of the two.

Then Huang Taiji asked: "Since the north and south sides are not passable, then our army can only break through from the direction of Pinggu County, what do you propose?" ”

Dai Shan said: "Your Majesty, the Han army's banners are equipped with a large number of artillery, even if the Han army's two white flags have been lost, but among the remaining six banners, there are also three hundred artillery, plus the Han army's flags of firearms, such firepower can completely compete with Liu Yan's department." Our army should concentrate the soldiers and horses of the Han army to attack Pinggu County, and then use the Manchu and Mongolian army as the backup, gather all the soldiers and horses, and start a decisive battle with Liu Yan's army! ”

After Dai Shan finished speaking, Geng Zhongming, Ma Guangyuan, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Shi Tingzhu, Liu Zhiyuan, and Zu Zerun were all taken aback, this is to let everyone be cannon fodder.

Huang Taiji's face is also more solemn, in this way, it means that he has to bet all the belongings of the Qing Dynasty on the gambling table, can he really afford to gamble?

At this time, Dolgon said: "Although what Prince Li said is very reasonable, the cost is too great, and once our army is defeated, the losses of the banners will be immeasurable. In my opinion, our army is still more cautious, give full play to the advantages of our Qing Dynasty iron cavalry, and divide troops to attack all over the country, so that Liu Yan can't take care of each other! ”

Hauge said coldly, "Where can you run?" Except for Beijing City, Liu Yan ignored the rest wherever he wanted, believe it or not? ”

Azig said excitedly: "Then divide the troops and fight Beijing City directly, how about it?" ”

Then the crowd looked at Azig like fools.

Hit Beijing

City?

The Qing warriors broke the city by internal response, or lure surrender and other means, and there are not many cases of really attacking and winning the city, not to mention the most complete city defense of Beijing City, which is the capital of the Ming Empire!

The distance from Pinggu to Beijing is only more than 100 miles, and once the attack is blocked, the cavalry in Liu Yan's army can arrive at dawn and evening, and then it will be another battle to defend Beijing.

At this time, Huang Taiji said: "This battle is related to the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty, and it cannot be fought abruptly." However, what Prince Li said is also very reasonable, this battle against Liu Yan's department is to give full play to the power of the Han army's flag firearms. Therefore, tomorrow, the warriors of all banners will line up on the east bank of the Xun River, and attack Liu Yan's troops with firearms and firearms of various banners of the Han army. ”

Everyone was shocked, is this going to be a decisive battle with Liu Yanbu?

Who knew that Huang Taiji then said: "The banners of Manchu and Mongolia are supervising the formation in the back, and the various departments of the Han army banner have been practicing for a long time, and the firearms equipped are all excellent. ”

Haoge, Dolgon, Abatai and the banners of the Mongolian Gushan are really breathing a sigh of relief, tomorrow's battle is to use the banners of the Han army to consume the strength of Liu Yanbu, as long as the warriors of the Manchurian and Mongolian banners are not lost, as for the soldiers of the banners of the Han army, as long as they take some more people back, and then give them a favor to carry the flag.

It's just that Geng Zhongming, Ma Guangyuan, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Shi Tingzhu, Liu Zhiyuan, and Zu Zerun have already opened the pot in their hearts, what should they do in tomorrow's war? Wu Shoujin had just died in battle, and everyone didn't want to follow in his footsteps.

Geng Zhongming trembled and said, "Your Majesty, the slave is waiting for ......."

Before he finished speaking, Azig on the side slapped him and paused

When Geng Zhongming was beaten, there was a trace of blood left at the corner of his mouth.

"Dog minion, when will it be your turn to intervene in the military affairs of the Qing Dynasty!"

Geng Zhongming trembled with fright, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty. Among the rest of the people, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming are both generals who came to invest in Dongjiang Town, and were named the king of Sanshun by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji said in a cold voice: "King Wuying has gone too far, King Huaishun and you are the pillars of my Qing Dynasty, don't do this next time." ”

"The minions obey."

Then Huang Taiji glanced at Geng Zhongming, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Since King Huaishun took the initiative to ask for battle, then you have to behave well tomorrow." ”

Geng Zhongming was dumbfounded on the spot.

In the early morning of the next day, the battalions of the Qing army were horned one after another, and the Tartar soldiers of all banners began to assemble and deploy on the east bank of the Xun River.

The flags of the Han army bore the brunt of the attack, and the Han army was in the back of the Yellow Banner Gushan Ezhen Geng Zhongming, and the Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Ma Guangyuan led the troops to press the formation in the back.

Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Kong Youde, inlaid blue flag Gushan Ezhen is still gratifying, Zhengbai Flag Gushan Ezhen Shi Tingzhu, inlaid red flag Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Zu Zerun several people led their respective soldiers and horses, in front of a mile or so word unfolded, more than 100,000 Han soldiers and horses are in a mighty array, in front of the army is 300 artillery, behind is the firecrackers of each flag, and then behind is the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of each flag.

After the formation of the army, it was actually very terrifying, and Huang Taiji watched with a clairvoyant mirror under the umbrella cover in the rear for a while

Er, satisfied with Fan Wencheng, Hao Ge and others around him, said: "The Han army's banners are still dedicated to their work, even if they can't win this battle, they should be given a heavy blow to Liu Yanbu!" ”

Haoge said with a smile: "This is the best, my warriors of all banners can take the opportunity to attack, maybe this battle can defeat Liu Yan's new army!" ”

Fan Wencheng is noncommittal, those Han army banners and horses look extraordinary, and the general Ming army may be invincible, but today's opponent is more than 100,000 Shandong New Army, what the results of this battle are, we can only wait and see.

At this time, Huang Taiji said to Haoge beside him: "You and Rao Yu Beile will go to the north ten miles away with the Zhenglan Banner to stand by to prevent Liu Yan's troops and horses from attacking Huang Songyu in the north. ”

Hauge was a little unhappy, but he still took the order.

"Order Prince Zheng to go to the south with the soldiers and horses with the blue flag to prevent the Ming army in the Mafang area from going north."

"Huh."

After everything was deployed, Huang Taiji saw the situation on the other side of the Xun River in the clairvoyant mirror, and saw that tens of thousands of Ming soldiers were deploying in the wilderness east of Pinggu County and west of the Xun River.

Huang Taiji looked at the various units of the new army with clear armor, strict formation, and momentum, and couldn't help but admire: "Liu Yan is really a famous general in the world, if I can recruit Liu Yan to vote, I am willing to give him the title of king!" ”

Fan Wencheng felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, he had been a dog for Daqing for so many years, and he didn't get such a high evaluation, so he couldn't help but feel a little sour.

At this moment, the soldiers of the new army on the west bank of the Xun River were arrayed, and when Qian Liang commanded the artillery battalion to appear, and more than 500 artillery pieces of various types were deployed in place, Huang Taiji and the flags

The generals were stunned.

Then Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and shouted: "Order the banners of the Han army to fire immediately, fire!" ”
