Chapter 192 Adaptation
"The Guan Ning army was attacked, and the whole army collapsed?"

On the evening of December [-]th, Zhang Cheng's troops sneaked back to the old camp of Julu Jiazhuang. Unexpectedly, the Qing army had completely withdrawn. There was not even a Qing army sentry around the entire Jiazhuang area. It seems that they are also afraid of this killing field full of dead bodies.

Just now, Zhang Cheng, Chen Zheng, Zhang Guodong and others heard the news from the night guards.

Zhang Cheng reorganized his soldiers for the first time in the dense forest by the Fuyang River.

Excluding the 220 infantry and wounded soldiers led by Chen Dakuan to Huolu, Zhang Cheng also had more than 690 cavalry under his command.

He compiled these more than 690 knights into three parts, which were two big sentries with 300 people. The left sentry was headed by Chen Zheng, and the right sentry was headed by Zhang Guodong.

Chen Zheng, the chief of the left sentry, also served as the first chief, the second chief was Wan Guangjin, the former chief of the left sentry, and the third chief was Hu Dayou, the former chief of the first chief of the left sentry.

The right whistle is also set up in the same way. Zhang Guodong leads the first commander himself, the second commander is always the former commander B of the rear whistle, Wang Tieren, and the third commander is always Tong Shoushan, the former commander A of the right whistle.

In addition, the Chinese military sentry was added. Zhang Cheng took back all the sergeants under his command who did not accept at night, and formed the Chinese military sentry team. People like Niu Sheng, Da Hou, and Liu Jinhai were included in the Chinese military sentry team. There are currently more than [-] cavalry , compiled into eight sentry teams, with Chen Zhong as the head of the Chinese military sentry.

There are also three army doctors, two veterinarians, three blacksmiths, and the remaining two Zhenfu sergeants. These ten people are temporarily under the management of Zhenfu He Biao.

The news of Gao Qiqian's defeat of the Guanning Army was brought back by the sentry team led by Liu Jinhai.

At this moment, Liu Jinhai was reporting respectfully to Zhang Cheng and the others: "Exactly, General, we intercepted a few escaped Guan Ningjun brothers and got the news.

Dorgon, Hauge and other slave chieftains gathered all their cavalry and rushed to Jize. Gao Jianjun led his army to flee westward, but they were caught up by the Tartars ten miles to the southwest of Jize, and the whole army was defeated. The high inspector army did not know where to flee. "

Chen Zheng scolded angrily: "You deserve it, you deserve it. If the eunuchs don't save my Xuan Dajun, you will be punished now, right?"

Zhang Guodong also sighed: "It's really retribution!"

Zhang Cheng just sat quietly, while Chen Zhong was still standing beside Zhang Cheng, not saying a word.

In the original history, Gao Qiqian was also desperate to support his troops. After hearing that Lu Xiangsheng was defeated and died, he led tens of thousands of Guanning troops to flee in a panic without firing an arrow.

But in history, they originally wanted to flee to the west, but they went east. As a result, they were ambushed by the Qing army, the whole army was defeated, and Gao Qiqian left alone.

This time, he fled to the southwest and was overtaken by captive cavalry again. The whole army was also defeated, and he still fled for his life alone.

Zhang Cheng shook his head, got up and ordered: "Scatter out all the Yebuyi, run farther, and investigate the situation of Guanning Army more."

Then, he turned around and said softly, "Try your best to check Gao Qiqian's whereabouts!"

Chen Zhong responded and left without saying a word.

…………

Without any effort, tens of thousands of Guanning troops were easily defeated, and they also got all their food and supplies.

Although most of the Guan Ning army were cavalry and were used to fleeing, this battle did not kill them much, but they captured a lot this time. This Guan Ning army is indeed much richer than Lu Xiangsheng's Xuan Da army.

Julu, Jize, successive battles and victories, the two major armies of the Ming Dynasty in the capital were defeated, and the Qing army's coquettishness was raised to the extreme again, and the incomparable contempt for the Ming army was restored.

Moreover, the Mongolian Deke Department of Outer Domain under Hauge's command also brought back a piece of news that shocked Dorgon, Hauge and others.

"Lu Xiangsheng is dead?"

Hauge said loudly: "Exactly, De Kelei captured a pro-military commander under Bai Guangen, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. According to him, Gao Qiqian panicked after learning the news of Lu Xiangsheng's death. Quickly lead the army to flee."

"No wonder his governor's seal was handed over by us. It seems that Lu Xiangsheng is really dead!"

Dorgon looked thoughtful.

Haoge even said: "Unfortunately, the body of Lu Xiangsheng was not found, otherwise..."

Dorgon glanced at Hauge and said, "Forget it, the matter is over, so don't mention it again."

He glanced at the Qing generals present, they all avoided his eyes, and the fear in their expressions seemed to have increased a lot.

Dorgon was satisfied, he advocated the siege of Xuan Da's army, all the banners and ministries suffered a lot of losses, although they were finally defeated, the gains were extremely poor, and the participating ministries also complained a lot.

Although Lu Xiangsheng's governor's seal was also paid, it was of little use. Now that everyone knows that Lu Xiangsheng has indeed died in Julu, Dorgon's prestige in the eyes of the Qing generals of the banners has unknowingly increased a lot .

Dorgon said to the Qing generals around him: "Lu Xiangsheng died, the Xuan army has been disabled by us, the Guan Ning army has been defeated, and the Ming country has no soldiers who dare to fight. Taking advantage of this vigor, we just divided up and looted."

He went on to say: "However, Jinan of the Ming Dynasty is really dilapidated. We should think carefully about where to plunder it next."

…………

In Jia Zhuang, sparse bonfires were lit, and more than [-] soldiers were still busy. They had cleared most of the village, and many corpses of Xuan Dajun were collected. It was too cold to be buried, so they could only be cremated on the spot.

Zhang Cheng ventured back to Jiazhuang just to find the body of his uncle Xuanzhen general Zhang Yan, otherwise, how would he face his mother and aunt when he returned to Xuanfu town.

Lin Zhiyi, the chief of Zhang Yan's Central Army sentry, was lying on Zhang Yan's body. At the end of his life, he still did not forget to guard Zhang Yan's body. His surroundings are deeply inserted into the soil.

Zhang Cheng also put Lin Zhiyi's body away, intending to bring Zhang Yan's body back to Xuan Mansion and return it to his family.

The sergeants also rummaged through some damaged tents, carts, etc. Zhang Cheng ordered them to rummage out all the materials that could be collected, repair them and make them usable. For him now, everything is good.

After dark, some Guan Ning's rout soldiers escaped one after another. These Guan Ning rout soldiers lost all their luggage and ran for a long distance. They were all tired and hungry, especially in this kind of cold winter weather. unbearable.

Zhang Cheng and others have long hated Gao Qiqian and Guan Ning's troops, and they simply ignored them.

Moreover, Zhang Cheng and his subordinates had run out of food and fodder, and they had no ability to help them at all. They just asked the soldiers to strictly guard Jiazhuang and not allow Guan Ning's rout to enter.

Those Guan Ning defeated soldiers also wanted to enter Jia Zhuang at the beginning, but they were mercilessly hit by a burst of fire, and they ran away screaming.

These Guanning routs cursed angrily, but Zhang Cheng ignored them. In the dark night, some who couldn't run looked for a place near Jiazhuang to escape the bitter cold of the night. Around Jiazhuang, some sparse fires , It is they who light up to keep out the cold.

…………

On the second day, before dawn, Chen Zhong approached Zhang Cheng and reported the information he had detected last night without closing the watch, and immediately made Zhang Cheng sleepless.
