In the yamen of the governor of Yanqing Prefecture, Haoge anxiously discussed countermeasures with Jierharang and Abatai.

At this time, Huang Taiji had fallen into a coma, and the three of them immediately had a disagreement.

Hauge said: "Now there are battle flags of Liu Yan's new army guard battalion, right battalion, cavalry battalion, rear battalion, and middle battalion outside the city, as well as the so-called three battalions of the garrison in Liu Yan's hands, which is already a full 100,000 horses, with the current strength of two yellow flags, two blue flags and a white flag, it is better to hold on to the spot, fight for a few days first, consume Liu Yan's troops, and then wait for the opportunity to retreat!" ”

Abatai said: "What Prince Su said makes sense, but Dolgon and Duoduo are leading their troops to retreat to the outside of the pass, and we can't delay here in Yanqing Prefecture!" ”

Ji'er Harang also said: "It's really not good, so I took advantage of the night to go out of the city and break out, and still according to His Majesty's arrangement, let Geng Zhongming and Ma Guangyuan two minions defend the city here and delay Liu Yan's troops." ”

Hauge said dissatisfiedly: "Can Khan Amma's body continue to hurry?" I think you are harboring evil intentions, and you want Your Majesty to die on the way! ”

Abatai and Zilharang were immediately furious, and the prince of the Qing Dynasty in front of them was simply an idiot.

Abatai said: "Since Prince Su does not agree to break through, then we will stick here, and when the time comes, Dolgon and Duoduo will return to Shengjing first to control the overall situation and seize the throne of Prince Su, don't turn around and blame me and Prince Zheng again!" ”

After speaking, Abatai turned around and left, Haoge's eyes widened angrily, and he was about to roar again, but he was stopped by Zilharang: "Prince Su, just say a few words!" You are here with Your Majesty, to

Just in case, I went to supervise the battle with Rao Yu Baylor. Now only the king of Wuyingjun and the two minions of Geng Zhongming and Ma Guangyuan are sitting in the city, I don't worry! ”

Zilharang also left quickly, and Hauge suppressed the anger in his heart and returned to the dorm room in the backyard.

"Khan Amma?"

Hauge knelt beside the bed, the anger just now disappeared in an instant, and he called out to Huang Taiji softly.

"Huh?"

Huang Taiji woke up slowly, and asked weakly, "Can you still get out of the city?" ”

"Liu Yan has brought tens of thousands of elites and has blocked the city gates everywhere."

"Alas! It's still a step too late. ”

Huang Taiji said in disbelief: "Most of Liu Yan's troops are infantry, how could they come so quickly!" ”

Haoge said: "Just now, Prince Zheng and Rao Yu Beile both suggested breaking through, taking advantage of Liu Yan's forced march to arrive, his troops are exhausted, and the army can still rush out, what does Khan Ama say?" ”

Huang Taiji smiled bitterly and said: "They are right, now you and my father and son, one of them must return to Shengjing before Dolgon and Duoduo, otherwise the Qing Dynasty will change the sky!" ”

Hauge was a little moved, and said: "It seems that Prince Zheng and Rao Yu Baylor are loyal ministers, and I blame them wrongly." ”

"Loyalist?"

Huang Taiji looked at Haoge with some hatred and said, "Where are there any loyal ministers!" They are just not trusted by Dorgon and Dorgon, and once Dorgon is in power, the two of them will not have any good fruit to eat, so they have to help you, my father and son! ”

"So, what should I do for now?"

Huang Taiji said without hesitation: "I can't leave, I left behind the soldiers and horses with the yellow flag, as well as Geng Zhongming and Ma Guangyuan, you."

Break through with the remaining two Blue Banners, the Zhenghuang Banner and the Azig Division, and be sure to return to Shengjing before Dolgon and Duoduo! ”

"Khan Ama!"

Hauge finally burst into tears.

At the same time, Liu Yan looked at Yanqing Prefecture City in the distance, although it was a cold wind at this time, Liu Yan was still sweating profusely, his head and body seemed to have just finished a sauna, and he was steaming white in the cold wind.

The same was true for Miao Shao and other soldiers around him, everyone was panting and sweating profusely.

"Haha!"

Although Liu Yan was tired, he laughed happily, the new army he built single-handedly could also create a speed comparable to that of the red army in later generations, and he drove from Changping Prefecture to a distance of eighty or ninety miles, followed by the Qing army's iron cavalry army, this sense of accomplishment is really indescribable!

"Governor, let's attack the city!"

Miao Shao shouted excitedly: "Huang Taiji is in the city, capture Yanqing Prefecture City, and kill Huang Taiji!" ”

All the soldiers around cheered loudly, although the soldiers of each battalion were tired, but at this time they were all fighting highly, Liu Yan could be very sure that as long as he ordered the siege of the city, the soldiers of each battalion could rush into the city with a roar even if they were tired.

It's just that the cost of such casualties is too great, so Liu Yan still ordered the battalions to be mainly encircled.

"The second battalion of the garrison is blockaded to the north, the third battalion is blockaded to the east, the fifth battalion is blockaded to the west, the right battalion of the new army is blockaded to the south, and the personal guard battalion, cavalry battalion, rear battalion, and middle battalion of the new army are on standby in the east, ready to fight at any time."

"Yes!"

Since Huang Taiji led his troops to escape, Liu Yan threw all his troops into the battlefield, and the banners of the Han army immediately collapsed.

In addition to the Zhengbai Banner Gushan Ezhen Shi Tingzhu and the Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Zu Zerun were killed successively, the soldiers and horses of the Han Army Banner were also seriously wounded, and at least 30,000 prisoners were captured.

Liu Yan immediately left the baggage soldiers of each battalion on the battlefield, responsible for cleaning the battlefield, guarding the prisoners, and then leading the main army to pursue the Huang Taiji headquarters.

At this time, Miao Shao said: "I don't know when the artillery camp will arrive, the governor must wait until the artillery camp arrives before attacking the city?" ”

Liu Yan nodded and said: "That's right, we can defeat more than 300,000 Qing troops at such a small cost, to be honest, this battle is really a fluke, there must be something wrong with the Qing army, otherwise we are still fighting with the Qing army north of Changping Prefecture!" ”

"Therefore, we must wait until the artillery battalion arrives, and we must not let the soldiers of the battalion increase casualties."

Miao Shao was a little anxious and said: "But according to the urgent report that the battalions did not collect at night, the Qing army Dolgon, Duoduo, and the Mongolian banners all left the battlefield before Huang Taiji, and now they have entered the deep mountains around Juyong Pass. There were also soldiers and horses of the two red banners of Manchuria, and they also followed Dolgon's troops into the mountains. ”

"Governor, if our movements were slow, the army of Dolgon's army would have escaped from the pass long ago!"

Liu Yan was also a little anxious at this time, among the battalions of the new army, now the artillery battalion is still on the way, and it is rushing to Yanqing Prefecture, the left battalion of the new army was ordered to go south to recover Changping Prefecture, and the Han army is the red flag and the blue flag soldiers and horses fled into Changping Prefecture, Liu Yan naturally will not let go of these two traitors and horses.

Liu Yan pondered for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then send Shen Tuo to lead his troops to pursue northward, delay Dolgon's troops at the cost of casualties, and wait for the main force to arrive." ”

"Yes

！ ”

"Immediately send someone to Qian Jian to give an order, ordering the artillery battalion to rush to Yanqing Prefecture before nightfall today!"

"Yes!"

After Shen Tuo received the order, he led the soldiers of the new army to the north, Shen Tuo did not accept his body at night, and it was only fitting to lead his troops into the mountains to pursue Dolgon's department.

"All departments of the battalion only need three days of rations and drinking water, and all the rest of the baggage is abandoned!"

From Yanqing Prefecture to Longmen Pass, if the army marches quickly, it can be reached in three to four days, so Shen Tuo directly ordered that it must arrive at Longmen Pass within three days to block Dolgon and Duoduo.

The officers and men of the middle battalion of the new army marched north from Yanqing Prefecture, directly penetrated into the remaining veins of Yanshan, and then rushed over the mountains and mountains in the northwest direction.

In the evening of the same day, Qian Jian led the artillery battalion of the new army to Yanqing Prefecture.

Although the artillery battalion was equipped with a large number of carriages and horses, the emergency march of hundreds of miles also made Qian Jian and the soldiers of the artillery battalion suffer a lot, and the pack horses attached to the artillery battalion alone were tired to death 23 horses, and they had to discard a lot of baggage along the way.

There were even eight Furlong cannons that were damaged because of the gun truck, and Qian Jian had to order to blow them up directly and give up. In the end, in order to ensure that he arrived in Yanqing Prefecture on time to participate in the battle, Qian Jian ordered the gunners and baggage soldiers in the battalion to take turns to push the cart, and then arrived in Yanqing Prefecture at dusk.

Liu Yan was also relieved to see the arrival of the artillery battalion, and immediately ordered all battalions to be on strict alert to prevent the Qing army from breaking through at night.

"All battalions will start attacking the city early tomorrow morning, and they will definitely take Huang Taiji, whether they live or die!"

"Yes!"

Miao Shao hugged Qian Qian excitedly and said, "Tomorrow."

It's up to you to show your might, break Yanqing Prefecture, watch me rush in, pull out the wild boar skin Emperor Taiji, and parade through the streets! ”

At the same time, Changping Prefecture.

The sun is setting and the wind is cold.

Standing on the north city wall, looking at the soldiers of the left battalion of the new army who were digging trenches and building earthen walls outside the city, their faces were full of despair.

Outside the city, more than 10,000 soldiers of the left battalion of the new army have already dug a long trench and built a low wall of excavated earth on the spot, preparing for an attack early tomorrow morning.

This trench and low wall are only one hundred and twenty steps away from the city wall of Changping Prefecture, and it can be said that they have been pasted on the faces of the Qing army in the city, but neither Kong Youde nor Shang Kexi dare to send troops out to obstruct it, for fear of provoking Zhang Yi, the general of the left battalion of the new army, to lead the army to attack the city now.

"Otherwise, let's lead the army to retreat south overnight, right?"

Shang Kexi looked at Kong Youde and said, "To the south? The remnants of the soldiers in your hands and I together are not enough for 10,000 people, where can such remnants go? Do you still think that you can rely on these defeated soldiers to take down the city of Beijing? ”

Kong Youde gritted his teeth and said, "What if you can beat it!" When Deng Ai smuggled into Yinping, he didn't necessarily expect to be able to take Chengdu! ”

Shang Kexi shook his head and said, "You and I are not Deng Ai, and Chongzhen is not the queen. There is no artillery in the army, and there are tens of thousands of new troops chasing behind, how to take the city of Beijing? As long as you and I step out of Changping Prefecture, it will be the end of death without a place to be buried! ”

"What then? Sitting in a lonely city is also a dead end! ”

Shang Kexi said: "Stick to it, if you can hold on to it, one day counts."

God, maybe Your Majesty will be able to turn defeat into victory, and it won't take a few days to come back with the Manmeng Iron Cavalry! ”

Kong Youde was extremely depressed and said, "Do you believe this yourself? ”

At this time, in Changping Prefecture, there were still more than 2,000 firecrackers and more than 4,000 hand-to-hand combatants left in the Han army's red banner and horses, and the Han army's blue flag was even more heavily damaged, with only more than 1,000 firecrackers and 2,000 hand-to-hand combatants.

The soldiers and horses of the two banners together are only about 10,000, and these 10,000 soldiers and horses are panicked, and they have long lost their will to fight.

"Perhaps, we can surrender?"

At this time, Kong Youde suddenly said: "I am the King of Gongshun of the Qing Dynasty, you said that the King of Zhishun of the Qing Dynasty, you and I led the army to surrender 10,000, this merit is not something that the generals of the Ming Army do not want, Emperor Chongzhen will also buy horse bones with a thousand dollars, and set up you and me as a signboard to disintegrate the hearts of the Qing people!" ”

Shang Kexi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "This move is a way out!" ”
