The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 642 He owes me a favor

Kong Youde walked up and down the battlefield alone.

Suddenly, he saw a famous general with more than a dozen arrows stuck in his body, and fell beside a cannon carriage.

The cannon cart is by the Qingshuibo River, far away from the main road, and no one cares about him for the time being.

Kong Youde found that he was still alive and strode over.

Then draw the knife.

Ming will be the commander of the artillery battalion, Zhang Qidong, the general manager of Qian.

The arrow wound was still a trivial matter, he was cut in the chest, and now he has lost his combat power and fell to the ground.

Seeing Kong Youde approaching, his face turned pale.

Soon Kong Youde walked up to him.

"Are you the commander-in-chief of the Ming army?" Kong Youde asked.

"Bah." Zhang Qidong spat and looked at him coldly.

"If you can survive, tell Ding Yi that he owes me a favor this time, and I will let the Han army not kill you."

"..." Zhang Qidong was taken aback.

"But the Manchurian army and the Mongols will come over later. How much you can survive is none of our business."

Kong Youde continued: "I'll stab you now and push you down. There is a slope below, so you shouldn't fall into the water."

"Remember, Laozi is Kong Youde."

After finishing speaking, Kong Youde drew his knife and stabbed it on the cart beside Zhang Qidong.

"Ming dog." Kong Youde yelled, and kicked Zhang Qidong off.
-
Dorgon is still making arrangements, because they have too many soldiers and horses, and they have plundered property and people from the Ming Dynasty.

"How far are the people and property of the Ming people from here?" Dorgon was asking.

"The front team is 500 meters away, but the one behind is still tens of miles away." Someone sighed.

This time they plundered tens of thousands of livestock and property, thousands of carts, and stretched for dozens of miles, and they certainly couldn't take them all away.

"As much as you can take away." Dorgon said in a deep voice: "Let's go first with the soldiers and horses, and let the Ming people and carts stay last."

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to take any of them with you?" Hauge exclaimed.

It will take a long time for their tens of thousands of troops to pass, plus all kinds of luggage and so on.

"Always let the army pass, so let the Ming people go first?" Dorgon said angrily.

Hauge dare not speak.

The people of the Ming Dynasty could not finish walking for half a day, and their army was still walking.

"Kill all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and burn all the wealth." Du Du said sharply at this moment: "We must not be cheap."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wouldn't they gain nothing by entering the customs this time?
"Report—" At this moment, a fast horse galloped in the distance.

Everyone turned back.

"The vanguard of the Ming army has reached one mile." Kuai Ma yelled in horror.

"What?" Everyone couldn't believe it.

It was thirty miles away 5 minutes ago. Of course, they didn't have the concept of 5 minutes at this time, but not long ago, they said they were thirty miles away.

Why did it suddenly fly?

Everyone had incredible expressions on their faces. The scene was quiet for a while, and Dorgon's mind was a little confused. It was really unacceptable, and I don't know how long it took.

Rumbling, rumbling, amidst the sound of cavalry in the distance, a cavalry suddenly appeared on the opposite side to the west of Qingshuibo, facing the Qing soldiers across the river.

Then, one horse, two horses, ten horses, one hundred horses, three hundred horses, five hundred horses.

A black mass of cavalry, lined up, appeared on the opposite bank.

Both sides can see each other, the distance is less than 200 meters, but because there is a clear water park in the middle, no one can attack the other now.

"Roar" The Ming army in the distance suddenly shouted in unison, and the momentum was loud.

Originally, Wang Weizhong's entire army was about to die in battle, but when he suddenly saw his cavalry, they roared wildly, as if they had been beaten to death.

The morale of the Ming army was greatly shaken, and there were only 1000 people left, less than the momentum of tens of thousands.

The faces of Dorgon and others suddenly became ugly.

Although only a few hundred people from the Ming army came, the pressure on them was very oppressive.

The Ming army on the opposite side was not in a hurry to attack, as if they were waiting for something.

However, a wave of black cavalry was here, and the last fighting spirit of the Qing soldiers had been broken.

"The order is that the Eight Banners go first, followed by the Mongols, and the Han army behind. The whole army will go to Tianjin and withdraw." Dorgon gave the order without any further hesitation.

After he finished speaking, he didn't care about the others, stood up, patted his horse, whoosh, and went straight to the north.

The other nobles of the Eight Banners saw it and ran away.

They got on their horses and ran north.

This is all right now, all the Qing soldiers who were still attacking the Ming army on the battlefield, saw the general go first, and heard this order again.

The entire battlefield suddenly collapsed.

The Qing soldiers didn't know who turned their heads first, and then the whole army retreated. Seeing the scene of a big victory, they collapsed instantly.

Starting from the southeast corner, the scene of collapse quickly swept across the four directions.

At this time, no matter the Eight Banners Mongolia or the Han army, they fled north one after another.

The scene almost repeated the tragedy of North Korea's retreat.

The Qing soldiers were running wildly, completely unorganized, and everyone was afraid of being left behind.

And the road on the east side of Qingshuibo is only this wide.

What's more, there are still a large number of corpses, wounded, and horses on the field.

As more and more people fled, the scene became more and more chaotic.

The vanguard of the Qing soldiers ran to the front and encountered the barricades nailed down by the Ming army, and fell down a group, which made them half dead with anger.

But now there is no time to settle accounts with the Ming army, so everyone hurried to Tianjin.

It was originally a retreat, but it slowly turned into a rout. Everyone ran southwest frantically.

Kong Youde quickly caught up with Dorgon: "You can't take the artillery away, you can only take the artillery away."

Dorgon gritted his teeth: "Blow it up, blow it up, it's all blown up."

"嗻"

Tan Tai came to ask again, what should the Ming people do?What about the car?
They still have 31 animals and more than 2000 cars of wealth.

Dorgon could not kill all the people and animals, and burned all the cars.

But people and animals are not here now, and the car is dozens of miles away, so they have time to burn and kill.

"Take as much as you can. If you can't take it, all people and animals will be killed, and the cart will be burned."

Tan Tai responded, but he also knew that no one wanted to do this, because it was too far away, so he had to walk more, and now, the most important thing was to run for his life.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen crossed the river directly and headed north. Now who wants to go back and kill the Ming people? Isn't this staying to court death?
Sure enough, Dorgon's orders were not carried out by anyone, and now it was important to escape, and most of them fled north.

A small number of Qing soldiers set fire to and beheaded people, and the people fled in all directions. After beheading for a while, these Qing soldiers did not dare to stay for long, and also fled forward.

The rest of the 10,000+ people didn't know what happened. They only saw the cavalry escorting them rush forward one after another, and no one cared about them.

Some people guessed that the Ming army might be coming, but no one dared to run at this time, mainly because they were afraid that the Qing army would turn back suddenly.

Everyone can only continue to move forward along the route.

On the battlefield here at Qingshuibo.

The Qing soldiers receded like a tide and blew up their Hongyi cannons.

Wang Weizhong and Xu Fuzuo were both wounded. They supported each other and looked at each other excitedly. They couldn't believe that the Qing soldiers suddenly collapsed and fled.

But they also sat down on the ground, unable to catch up.

The other Ming soldiers also seemed to be out of breath, and they sat down on the ground one after another.

Up to now, many people are at the end of their strength, relying on their faith and will to persevere. Now if the Qing soldiers launch another counterattack, these people will have nothing to resist.

But the Qing soldiers were all running, and no one cared about them at all.

It was like watching a play, they were all watching the Qingqi all over the mountains and plains heading north from the southeast corner.

"Make formation, form formation, stand up, hold on, and watch out for the Qing soldiers to counterattack." Wang Weizhong stood up staggeringly at this moment, and shouted loudly.

The Ming soldiers quickly supported each other and stood up again.

So a funny scene appeared on the battlefield.

There is a Ming army on each side of Qingshuipo looking at the middle.

The Qing soldiers in the middle did not attack them, but rushed northward one after another.

The Ming army could not fight, but the Qing soldiers did not dare to fight.

In this battle, Qing soldiers with 6000 troops attacked [-] Ming troops.

The Ming army suffered more than 5000 casualties, while the Qing soldiers suffered [-] casualties. This is the smallest loss ratio of the Qing soldiers since the two sides fought each other for many years.

The main loss of the Qing soldiers was at the beginning of the war. In the later period, with the large number of casualties of the Ming army, the fewer gunslingers, the smaller the losses of the Qing soldiers.

Their remaining [-] soldiers and horses ran for half an hour before they all passed Qingshuipo.

After the pressure, Tan Tai has been watching the direction of Ming army reinforcements.

But seeing the [-] riders of the Ming army who came first, when they started running, one by one of the horses fell down, and many people jumped off the horses.

Tan Tai immediately knew that the Ming army was the vanguard and rushed over without stopping.

He took a deep breath, his face blushing.

He wanted to organize a group of troops to kill the Ming army, but when he looked back at the battlefield, all the troops were running wildly. At this time, it would be more difficult to reunite the troops.

"I fell into Minggou's trap again." Tan Tai was very unwilling, finally gritted his teeth and flicked his horsewhip, fought, and walked away.

The Ming army position in the southeast of Qingshuibo.

Watching the Qing soldiers retreat like a tide, and blow up their own Hongyi cannon.

Wang Weizhong and Xu Fuzuo felt like they were dreaming. They had less than a thousand dollars left, so they stood where they were, watching the Qing soldiers run.

No Qing soldiers dared to come over.

"Why don't you chase after him?" Xu Fuzuo turned his head to look at the cavalry who had just arrived.

At this time, all the Qing soldiers had run away, and behind them were all Ming people, people, animals, and carts of wealth.

But seeing the Ming army on the other side, a group of cavalry was approaching them.

When running to them.

Suddenly, with a splash, a war horse fell to the ground, and the person on it fell off the horse, and stood up after rolling and crawling a few times.

"Damn it, my horse ran away to death." Yuan Youcai took off his helmet and walked over cursing.

"..." Xu Fuzuo and Wang Weizhong.

On February 12st of the 4th year of Chongzhen, more than 6000 Qing soldiers entered the pass, and more than [-] soldiers from Wang Weizhong and Xu Fuzuo of the Ming Army blocked Qingshuipo with carts.

A bloody battle, from noon to afternoon, the Qing soldiers fled in embarrassment after leaving more than 6000 corpses.

Wang Weizhong and Xu Fu's Zuobu killed more than 3000 and injured more than 2000. In the end, there were only 100 musketeers and more than 100 artillerymen, and more than 900 cavalry and more than 4000 people could still stand. More than [-] people quit the army after the war.

This battle also created a record in the battle between Ding Yi's soldiers and horses and Qing soldiers, with the most casualties and the closest ratio between the two sides.

But considering that they were [-] against nearly [-], eight times the enemy, and under the condition that the range of the cannon was not as good as that of the opponent, the entire army was not wiped out, which is already very remarkable.

In fact, the casualties of the Qing soldiers were not limited to these. More than 2000 people were injured and left. Not long after returning, hundreds of them died.

The total number of Qing soldiers killed in battle should be around [-].

The Qing soldiers retreated so quickly because Ding Yi asked Yuan Youcai to lead five hundred riders, regardless of the horses, to spur them desperately, and rushed over quickly.

When Yuan Youcai arrived, most of Ding Yi was still twenty miles away.

The fastest and best horse in the whole army was given to Yuan Youcai.

Yuan Youcai's team ran fast and non-stop. The 500 people did not eat for a day, and the horses did not stop. When they finally ran to the scene, more than 100 horses were killed.
