The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

chapter 641

Geng Zhongming was with Kong Youde at this time, he suddenly thought of something, and whispered in Kong Youde's ear: "After the war, first find someone to collect the guns and cannons of the Ming army."

"Their muskets are farther than ours, so we should study hard."

Kong Youde's heart was shocked, his expression remained calm, and he glanced away from the corner of his eye.

The two of them were very close to Dorgon, and Dorgon's ears seemed to move at this moment.

Kong Youde wasn't sure if he heard it, so he said loudly: "Prince Rui, the Ming people shoot farther than us. After a while, send someone to collect the Ming people's guns."

"That makes sense." Dorgon turned his head and gave him an appreciative glance.

Geng Zhongming was complacent, as if he felt that he had come up with a good idea.

Kong Youde couldn't express the feeling in his heart that Geng was his good brother, and after following Houjin all these years, Yan Ran had made up his mind to regard himself as a slave builder.

After Kong Youde met Ding Yi back then, he had been on two boats, but in his heart, he still wanted to be a Han Chinese.

Back then, I had no choice but to vote. If I could be a Han Chinese, of course I still want to be a Han Chinese.

He thought about it seriously, and felt that he had to find a chance to talk to Geng.

Geng is still reliable, he thought secretly in his heart.

"Report." At this moment, in the whole Qing Dynasty, everyone thought that Ding Yi was going to be wiped out this time.

Several fast horses came galloping in the distance.

Dorgon's heart jumped, and a bad premonition followed.

A few months ago, their [-] troops set up artillery formations to ambush Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng also has about 6000 people.

In the middle of the night, the Qing soldiers attacked Lu Xiangsheng violently, and almost wiped out Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers and horses, while the Qing soldiers were killed or injured less than a thousand.

Today, their nearly 6000 troops were blocked by Ding Yi's [-] men in Qingshuipo.

After fighting all afternoon, the casualties were close to [-], and there was a chance to wipe out the Ming army.

If something unexpected happened suddenly, Dorgon really couldn't accept it.

When he saw Kuaiqi approaching, his face turned red, and he reminded himself over and over again in his heart that no matter what happened, Ding Yi's army must be destroyed first.

Just then, Kuaiqi had arrived at the scene.

"Report, my lord, a large group of cavalry from the Ming army came from Le'an, the distance is less than thirty miles."

"What?" Everyone's expressions changed.

"Whose soldiers and horses?" Hauge asked in surprise, "How many people are there?"

"There is no vertical flag, but many people carry guns, at least tens of thousands. They should be Ding Yi's soldiers."

Tens of thousands of Ding Yi's soldiers and horses came, and everyone looked at Du Du together. It must be the Ming army that fought Du Du and the others before.

"Damn it." Kong Youde cursed to cover up his excitement: "The dog won't come sooner or later."

"Let's destroy this Ming army first."

"Send more troops and destroy them." Hauge pointed at Wang Weizhong in front of him and roared.

Dorgon's mind was in turmoil. If it was the other Ming army, he would call out [-] cavalry immediately to fight head-on, and he would be able to defeat them severely.

But this is Ding Yi's army, if someone is sent to stop it now, no one will go.

The key is who goes and who dies.

There are only more than 1000 people in the Ming army here. If you want to send 2000 people to block Ding Yi, doesn't that mean giving away 2000 heads for nothing?

Thirty miles away, the cavalry was galloping. Ding Yi must have come to rescue the Ming army, and he might arrive within half an hour. Although Ding Yi didn't bring a cannon, he had a lot of blunderbuss.

Lightning and flint, Dorgon's mind quickly circled.

To fight or to go?

"After fighting for a long time, brother is exhausted, Prince Rui, why don't you withdraw." A Mongolian Gu Shan Ezhen suddenly proposed to withdraw.

Because the Mongols in their banner charged forward and used a large number of archers to assist the Qing soldiers and the Han army to attack fiercely, and the Ming army specialized in archers. The casualties in his banner were heavy, and it was really unbearable.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar all around.

"Bastard, the Ming army is about to be wiped out, so how can you just withdraw as soon as you say it?"

"Attack for another quarter of an hour, and the Ming army will be wiped out in a quarter of an hour."

"It's a rare opportunity to destroy Ding Yi's tribe, how can we give up halfway."

The nobles of the Qing Dynasty cursed one after another.

Over the years, they have fought and defeated Ding Yi repeatedly, and finally they have the opportunity to wipe out Ding Yi, so they are willing to retreat.

Seeing this, Kong Youde thought for a while, then bit the bullet and gritted his teeth: "If you want to keep the cannons, you must withdraw the artillery now. Otherwise, it will be like North Korea, repeating the same mistakes."

He was reminding Dorgon that if he wanted to keep the Hongyi cannon he had so hard to forge, he had to withdraw it now, otherwise it would be too late.

When the generals of the Han army saw someone coming forward, they immediately shouted to retreat quickly.

Because there were also many Han troops rushing into the battle, and they all suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, the field was a bit chaotic. The Manchu and Qing wanted to fight, but the Han army and Mongols no longer wanted to fight.

Dorgon's mind quickly circled, and he knew that he could no longer hesitate.

Soon he had a decision.

Whether or not the Ming army can be destroyed is still a trivial matter. In case of a major defeat, Huang Taiji may find this reason to deal with himself. If he is blocked by the Ming army again and he cannot go back, then it will be ridiculous.

"Decree." Dorgon sternly said, "Rush for a while, if you can't break it, leave immediately."

"What." All the nobles of the Qing Dynasty were stunned.

Du Du stomped his feet fiercely, very unwilling.

"King Gongshun ordered the artillery to be withdrawn immediately. The Hongyi cannons went first. King Huaishun ordered to clear the front. I see that there are many corpses and wounded of the Ming army and our brothers. We must clear the road. The rear army is still there." A lot of baggage has to go through."

Dorgon issued orders one by one. Although the nobles of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties refused to accept, they had no choice but to obey.

At this time, the road from here to Tianjin has been opened.

The only remaining Ming army was suppressed by them in the southeast corner, but because there were so many soldiers and horses on both sides, the distance that could pass between them was only more than [-] meters.

This means that their army needs to line up in columns and pass through continuously.

But now there are two difficulties. One is that there are too many casualties in the front. The total number of dead and wounded on both sides is tens of thousands.

The corpses in the clear water pool were already full.

This way, the carriage is very difficult to travel, and the artillery battalion is also difficult to travel.

Secondly, the Ming army used large carts to form a car formation at the end, and built low walls and other defensive fortifications, which required them to clear them out.

Following Dorgon's order, Kong Youde commanded the Hongyi cannon to retreat quickly and give priority to pass, while looking back at Geng Zhongming.

Geng Zhongming is leading people to the front to clarify the truth.

Kong Youde looked at the battlefield, ran over quickly, and followed.

"Damn, I'm afraid we won't be able to destroy Ding Yi's soldiers and horses." Geng Zhongming cursed, with a look of unwillingness.

He led the brigade of the Han army forward, and soon entered the Qingshuibo Ming army position.

The road was full of wounded and dead bodies.

"Kill." He gave an order, and it was the Han army's turn to raise their knives and guns, puff, puff, walk along the road, and chop.

The injured Ming soldiers screamed, but they couldn't resist.

Geng Zhongming shouted again: "Find the Ming army's firearms quickly, take all the Ming army's blunderbuss away."

So the Han army cleared the road, killed the wounded Ming army, and picked up guns.

Kong Youde patted him on the shoulder at this time, signaling him to dismount as well.

The two walked on the battlefield.

At this moment, a wounded soldier of the Ming army was staring at them, holding a knife in his hand.

"Look at Niang." Geng Zhongming was furious, and he drew his sword and stepped forward.

Well, Kong Youde stopped him.

"?" Geng Zhongming turned his head and glanced at Kong Youde unexpectedly.

"How many casualties do you think our army has suffered today?" Kong Youde said calmly.

Geng Zhongming was stunned for a moment: "Five or six thousand were injured in the front, and the number of Ming troops in the back is less and less, so the casualties are less. I estimate at least seven or eight thousand."

"We have fought with Ding Yi's department over the years, and we have suffered disastrous defeats every time." Kong Youde said in a low voice, looking around while talking.

There will be no one around here, and the soldiers are cleaning the ground everywhere.

"The Manchus couldn't beat Ding Yi at all. Every time they were defeated, Ding Yi's casualties were less than a few hundred, which is unbelievable."

"Hiss..." Geng Zhongming heard this, especially when he heard the word Man Qing, his expression changed slightly, and he took a deep breath.

He looked at Kong Youde in disbelief, and it took a few seconds for him to react, and then he quickly looked around, but fortunately, there were no other people around, and the nearest ones were all ten meters away, and the killing noise on the battlefield was so loud that it was impossible for others to hear them if.

Geng Zhongming's expression changed several times, and he lowered his voice slowly: "Brother Kong's meaning?"

"Half of this Ming army is Xu Fuzuo's men, and we have almost ten times as many people. Only by bringing Hongyi cannons can we destroy them."

"If there is no Hongyi cannon, it is not certain who will win."

"Brothers of life and death, I mean in case, in case the Man Qing cannot defeat Ding Yi in the future, we have to save ourselves a way out?" Kong Youde finally said what was in his heart.

After speaking, he stared at Geng Zhongming firmly.

In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he only dared to talk to Geng Zhongming, because they were good brothers.

Of course Geng Zhongming knew that the matter was of great importance, now that they were in the Manchu formation, he didn't believe anyone except Kong Youde.

Kong Youde didn't bring his soldiers up just now, so he knew he had something important to tell him, so he also drove the soldiers away.

"Brother Kong, you continue to say, you have to believe this, brother, I will always follow you." Geng Zhongming said without hesitation.

When Kong Youde was going to Dengzhou to seek refuge with Sun Yuanhua, he immediately followed.

Kong Youde wanted to rebel, so he followed suit.

Kong Youde wanted to surrender, so he followed suit.

Geng Zhongming regarded him as his own elder brother and never questioned his decision.

"Leave a line in life, so we can meet each other in the future." Kong Youde smiled lightly: "Just leave us a way out."

Geng Zhongming gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid of that rat, it's immoral."

He has fought with Man Qing and Ding Yi for many years, so of course he knows what kind of virtue Ding Yi is.

"Ding Shuo is very kind to his own people." Kong Youde chuckled and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Don't worry, I, Kong Youde, will never cheat my brother."

Geng Zhongming nodded thoughtfully.

After a while, he suddenly yelled: "Nunniang, what are you doing, quickly move these people and cannons aside, don't worry about anything, don't worry about anything else."

His subordinates are looking for the guns of the Ming army to kill the wounded soldiers of the Ming army.

Hearing this order suddenly, they were stunned for a while, and many people looked up at him.

He ordered again: "Notify all ministries to clear the road as soon as possible, and ignore the rest."

The Han army had no choice but to stop other things at hand one after another and began to clean up the avenue.

All the forty cannons of the Ming army were killed.

A large number of artillery stopped on the road, and the Han army began to move the artillery to clear the road.
