Outside the east gate of the city in Guangning, Lai Mubu and Fei Yangguo hurriedly led tens of thousands of iron cavalry from the two blue banners of Manchu to withdraw from the city, and they didn't even care about the whole team, so they led tens of thousands of iron cavalry to retreat north.

After leaving the city, Fei Yangguo did not forget the Mongolian soldiers and horses of the two blue banners wandering in the north, and hurriedly sent scouts to contact the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Omotuk and the Mongolian Blue Banner Gushan Ezhen A Yushi, and ordered the two to immediately lead their troops to retreat in the direction of Guangning Qiantunwei, with the whole army as the top.

Seeing a large number of scouts rushing to the north, Fei Yangguo and Lai Mubu led their troops to flee for their lives.

With the retreat of the Manchurians, more than 40,000 remnants of the Korean Blue Flag in the city also blew up their nests and rushed to escape from the city.

These North Koreans were muttering and shouting in Korean, at this time they could not listen to the orders of the North Korean Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Mafuta, the North Korean Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen Eshuo, and they rushed to the east, the two of them were furious when they saw this, but they were helpless, to be honest, the performance of these Koreans in this battle has exceeded expectations, but I didn't expect the combat power of the Ming army to improve so quickly, and the dignified Prince of Qingsu Lai Mubu and Prince Zheng Fei Yangguo would choose to lead the army to flee!

"What should I do?"

Eshuo stood at the head of the city and asked angrily.

Mafuta gritted his teeth and said, "What else can I do?" Let's withdraw too! Anyway, His Majesty was furious, and Prince Su and Prince Zheng were on top, and they also led the army to escape first! ”

E Shuo's heart was full of bitterness, how could such a thing be said clearly? ? At that time, the two princes of the family said that it was your two blue flags of North Korea and the two blue flags of the Han army that were unbearable to fight and dragged their feet, so they retreated, what can you say?

But now was clearly not the time to say this, so Esho and Mafuta hurried out of the city with a large group of guards, and fled eastward together in the midst of the chaotic crowd of routs.

At the same time, Zu Dashou had just entered the city of Guangning Zhongqian in embarrassment, but there was already news of the comprehensive advancement of the First Army of the National Defense Army behind him, as well as the once extremely familiar, but now it sounded extremely terrifying "Wan Sheng" sound, Zu Dashou's face changed instantly, and he wanted to find Prince Su Lai Mubu and Prince Zheng Fei Yangguo, but not to mention these two princes in the city, even the soldiers and horses of the two blue flags of Manchuria were gone, and only some of the two blue flags of North Korea were fleeing in a hurry.

"Bastard!"

Zu Dashou scolded angrily: "It's really a nest is not as good as a nest, it just started to fight and fled, and the big Qing is over!" ”

After scolding, Zu Dashou did not dare to stay in the city for a long time, and directly led the remnants of the Han army Zhenglan Banner through the city and withdrew to the east.

It's just that the Han army's banner soldiers and horses are basically infantry, even if all the artillery and baggage equipped at this time are lost, the speed of retreat is not much faster, so Zu Dashou did not dare to retreat to the Qiantun Acropolis of Guangning, which was farther away, but chose to retreat to the Gaolingyi defense line closer to the northeast.

"Withdraw! Give up all the burden!! ”

Zu Dashou gave an order loudly, the Han army was under the blue flag and part of the Han army with the blue flag of the rout followed Zu Dashou to retreat, these routs carried out the order to the letter, not only gave up a large number of baggage, but also gave up a lot of wounded soldiers in the general, anyway, these wounded soldiers are the same as baggage, they are all burdensome.

The Qing army's Gaolingyi defense line was only more than 20 miles away from the city of Guangning Zhongqian, and at this time, Zu Dashou led the remnants of the army to run wildly, as long as he completed the journey of more than 20 miles, he could be temporarily safe.

But Zu Dashou heard the sound of rolling iron hooves from behind, and when he looked back, he saw that thousands of Ming army iron cavalry had been killed, rolling iron cavalry, and well-armored soldiers, and they were forming a formation to bite the rear team of the rout, constantly encroaching on the two blue flags of the Han army.

Seeing that the pursuers had caught up, Zu Dashou gritted his teeth and galloped wildly, under the protection of the team's personal guards, constantly surpassing the defeated soldiers around him, at this time his own life is the first, those defeated soldiers under his subordinates, no matter if he dies, as long as he is alive, he can rebuild the soldiers and horses at any time.

Rumble!

Behind the rout of the Qing army, there is constantly the roar of the Ming army's birds, this sound has been engraved in the bone marrow of the Qing soldiers, as long as the Ming army soldiers hear the unique roar of the flint birds, the morale of the Qing army will be affected, it can be said that the Qing army departments today have suffered from "fear of Ming".

Especially when the army collapsed, these Han army two blue flags, and a small number of Korean two blue flag soldiers only hated themselves for missing two legs, and threw away everything that could be discarded, including weapons and armor, just to be able to run faster, at least faster than their companions.

In this way, Zu Dashou led the remnants to flee for their lives in front, and thousands of iron cavalry of the First Army of the National Defense Army followed the pursuit all the way behind, and the two sides ran for more than 20 miles one after the other.

Zu Dashou looked at the Gaolingyi defense line that was close at hand, and was suddenly excited, and hurriedly ordered to show his battle flag.

At this time, the Manchurian Red Flag, the Mongolian Red Flag, the Han Army's Red Flag and the Two White Flags, as well as the North Korean Red Flag Army, have been waiting for the North Korean Red Banner Army, and these Qing soldiers and horses have seen the retreat of the Manchurian Two Blue Flags and the Mongolian Two Blue Flags, which can be regarded as complete and orderly, but now the rout of the Han Army's two Blue Flags and North Korea's Two Blue Flags can only be described as embarrassed.

In the defense line and in the city of Gaoling Post Fort, the soldiers of the Qing army of all banners stationed in it were all solemn, while accepting the remnants of Zu Dashou, they were nervously looking at the Ming army iron cavalry rolling in the distance, for fear that the Ming army would attack with the trend.

At this time, Prince Dai Shan and Mongolia Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Engtu stood on top of the fort, the two of them looked solemn, stationed outside the city of Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Bayan, Zhengbai Flag Gushan Ezhen Ye Keshu, inlaid with white flag Gushan Zhenzu Dale, North Korea Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Ban Bushan but nervous, once the Ming army attacked, then everyone was the first to bear the brunt, look at the defeated two blue flag soldiers and horses, everyone's hearts were heavy, Guangning Zhongqian was also defeated too quickly, that is 200,000 troops!

Especially Zu Dale, at this time, he was even more anxious to find his cousin Zu Dashou in the rout, that is the pillar of the ancestral family, once killed by the Ming army, the ancestral family will have no leader in the Qing Dynasty, and the future will be even more difficult.

Fortunately, Zu Dale found Zu Dashou's battle flag in the chaotic rout, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, Zu Dashou led the rout into the Gaolingyi defense line and began to reorganize the troops and horses behind the defense line. At the same time, Zu Dashou received an order from Prince Li Daishan, and immediately began to gather the remnants of the army, reorganize the soldiers and horses, and prepare to resist the attack of the Ming army together with the soldiers and horses stationed in Gaolingyi.

It didn't take long for the thousands of Ming army iron cavalry in front of the Gaolingyi defense line to stop, and under the nervous gaze of all the Qing army's soldiers and horses, the thousands of Ming army iron cavalry just observed the defense line for a while, and then slowly withdrew, it seemed that they were not ready to attack the Gaolingyi defense line immediately.

Suddenly, the Qing army breathed a sigh of relief, but Dai Shan's heart swelled with a thick sadness: now the Ming and Qing dynasties have changed their offensive and defensive shapes, once the Ming army retreated in the city and in the defense line, and the Qing warriors showed off their might outside, but now the roles of the two sides have been reversed, and more than 100,000 or 200,000 Qing warriors are all hiding behind the defense line, for fear that thousands of Ming army iron cavalry will attack, how ironic is such a scene!

"How many years has it been? Could it be that the Qing Dynasty is about to fall? ”

Dai Shan lamented in his heart, a thick despair welled up in his heart, and at this time, Shi Shan also began to reflect on the strategy of following Dolgon to suddenly withdraw his troops and leave Huang Taiji behind, is it really correct? ?

Just when Dai Shan's heart was sad, Chen Xun had already led the officers and men of the First Army of the National Defense Army to occupy the Guangning Central Front Station, but then did not order the whole army to immediately pursue to the east, but only sent thousands of iron cavalry to drive away the Qing army.

This time, the Qing army retreated on its own initiative and did not suffer any losses, and the officers and men of the First Army of the National Defense Army were all beheaded by the dogs of the Han army flag and the Korean flag, and the main force of the Qing army did not suffer losses.

Therefore, Chen Xun still held on to the top, and just sent a small group of soldiers and horses to pursue.

"Immediately report to the veteran of the pavilion on the battle situation, please ask the elder to immediately lead the main force to converge!"

"Yes."

After sending troops and horses to contact Liu Yan, Chen Xun also began to reorganize his soldiers and horses, and pulled all the officers and men of the First Army of the National Defense Army to the east of the city of Quang Ninh, where they lined up outside the city to rest, and at the same time, the beheading of each department was also reported.

In this battle, the officers and men of the First Army of the National Defense Army fought against the Qing Army's two blue flags of Manchuria, the two blue flags of Mongolia, the two blue flags of the Han Army, the two blue flags of Korea, and the 200,000 troops of the Eight Banners.

At the same time, the officers and men of the First Army of the National Defense Army also captured a large number of materials, among which the 100 artillery pieces equipped with the two blue flags of the Han Army naturally became Chen Xun's trophies.

Chen Xun adhered to the principle that the more the merrier, temporarily divided the 100 artillery pieces into various artillery units, and first strengthened his own firepower.

While Chen Xun was busy here, Liu Yan led the officers and men of the Second Army to the Sixth Army of the National Defense Army to arrive at the city of Zhongqian in Guangning.

The officers and men of the various armies were stationed around the city and stood by, while Liu Yan went directly into the city and summoned the commanders of the various armies to discuss on the east city wall.

When everyone met, they congratulated Chen Xun, this is the first battle since the customs exit, Chen Xun made a good start for everyone, and the first merit of the customs is well deserved.

Liu Yan also praised Chen Xun with a smile, which made Chen Xun very happy for a while, and grinned.

Then Liu Yan began to complain: "These dog Tartars are running so fast one by one, my father thought that this battle would last for a day or two, and he could lead the main army to eat this 200,000 Qing army in one bite, who knew that those Tartars actually ran away!" ”

Everyone looked at Liu Yan's "resentful woman" expression and immediately laughed.

Then Liu Yan said to everyone: "But this is okay, then our army will begin to attack the Qing army's Gaolingyi defense line in the northeast, and this defense line will be cleared, and the Guangning Qiantun guard will be exposed to our army's front!" ”

Everyone was excited when they heard this, and now that the army has left the customs, it has only been a few days, and the progress of the Eastern Route Army has been so smooth, and even Wang Yue said with a smile on the side: "Haha, there is an old man in charge, in the opinion of the last general, our army does not even need the cooperation of the Western Route Army and the Sea Route Army, and it can flatten the entire Liaodong alone!" ”

Wang Bo, Miao Shao, Shen Tuo and others looked at Wang Yue who was smiling all over his face, and said secretly in their hearts: "It seems that no matter how high an official position you have, you can't live up to your heart of shaving and slapping horses!" ”

Liu Yan was not in a hurry to attack, this battle was fought safely, and the fight was strength, so Liu Yan was not worried that a steady and steady battle would give the Qing army time to reorganize, and ordered all armies to rest for a day in the city of Zhongqian in Guangning, and then continue to attack tomorrow.

At the same time, Liu Yan sent people to Tiechang Fort in the north to inquire about the battle situation of the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army of the National Defense Army, so as to make timely adjustments to the current battle situation.
