Chapter 602 Eight Banners Casualties
With a glance from everyone in the world, Wu Sangui also knows where the lifeblood of Manqing lies.

That is the limited number of Eight Banners soldiers!

He, Wu Sangui, wanted to really gain a firm foothold and secure his throne.

Then in this battle, he must try his best to kill and injure the vital forces of the Eight Banners, so as to prevent the Qing court from having enough power to launch a counterattack next time.

If he, Wu Sangui, can completely annihilate the Eight Banners soldiers led by Oboi in Guanzhong, then the Manchu Qing regime will not be far from collapsing.

Because, since the Manchu period, the Eight Banners have suffered heavy casualties.

Li Dingguo got involved in Burma, and Zhu Hongyu made a barbecue in Qixia Mountain. In the decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River, they were annihilated by the establishment in Zhenjiang...

If Wu Sangui can annihilate the Eight Banners led by Obai this time!
During this period of time, more than half of the casualties of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing court have been properly accounted for.

More than half of the Eight Banners casualties, Man Qinglai thought that the force to suppress the world would collapse!
At that time, even Zhu Hongyu and Wu Sangui don't need to do anything, the whole north will be ignited by a mighty wave of uprising.

After all, who would be willing to kneel down on the ground and serve as a slave to a foreign race if they could behave in an aboveboard manner?

Is it that cheap?
……

After the defeat in Chang'an, Oboi led his troops back in a hurry, but Wu Sangui, who had overcome his panic disorder, had no intention of letting Oboi go.

Guan Ning's heavy cavalry took off their armor, and chased down the defeated soldiers of Oboi's subordinates!

On the entire battlefield, there are galloping iron cavalry everywhere, as well as war horses signaling to trample the ground!
"kill!"

The green battalion of the Qing army almost surrendered in an established system, and the generals of the green battalion knelt down in front of Wu Sangui spontaneously without even urging them.

One by one, they put their heads in contact with the soil, expressing their tameness.

The Eight Banners soldiers were chased and killed by the Guanning army for hundreds of miles, leaving less than [-] corpses along the way, and they barely escaped from the battlefield.

These Eight Banners soldiers were able to escape, and they still took advantage of riding horses.

If they were all infantry, Wu Sangui was sure to keep them all in this battle.

But even so, the remaining Eight Banners soldiers were all wounded and exhausted!
The cotton armor that would add weight to them was almost all thrown away.

……

It's night, the moon hangs high!
The cold moonlight splashed on the earth, providing some light for the pitch-black earth.

On the wide official road, a large group of people walked with horses.

The look of throwing away armor and armor, even throwing away weapons, is quite embarrassing.

One by one, the wounded soldiers crouched on their horses, grinning and howling.

Almost all of them had blood oozing from their bodies, looking miserable and lonely.

Aobai limped along leading the horse, and there were several wounds on his exposed upper body.

Most of them were arrow wounds left by Guan Ningjun!
There are even large bruises on his arms and chest, which are marks left by blunt force blows.

His armor was carried by a war horse, and his whole body looked exhausted.

The depths of his eyes were full of deep loneliness and despair.

When returning to Beijing this time, the Qing Dynasty may be about to start preparing to withdraw from the pass.

Even if he doesn't want to admit it, Obai can only accept the reality that the Qing Dynasty can no longer stand in the pass!
Looking back at the defeated soldiers behind him, Aobai asked in a tone full of despair.

"Has the inventory been completed? How about the casualties of our army? How many soldiers are still capable of fighting?"

He Tai on the side heard the words, although his face was full of exhaustion, he still spoke.

"My lord, the casualties of our army in this battle have probably been counted!"

"If the green battalion soldiers are not included, the casualties of our army in this battle should be around 3000 or [-]."

"In addition, there are more than 400 wounded, and the rest of the staff are all wounded!"

"We also lost a lot of horses, armor, and various weapons."

"There is also the food and pay that the army brought with it, all of which were thrown on the battlefield!"

Obviously, the Qing army did not regard the green camp as a human being.

Let the green battalion break up when you run away, and it's fine if you don't take them with you.

Even when counting the number of casualties, they are unwilling to count the green battalion soldiers in it.

The casualties calculated by Hetai are basically all Eight Banners soldiers.

Almost all of the 3000 or [-] people died on the battlefield or disappeared.

And disappearing on the battlefield is not much different from being dead.

Even worse!

Because if you go missing, you may not even find your body.

More than 400 seriously injured people were basically injured with broken arms and legs.

The armor and weapons were thrown away by the Eight Banners soldiers themselves in order to facilitate their escape.

Why do people like to use the adjective "throwing away armor" to describe the defeat of ancient wars?
That's because throwing armor and armor is really the most basic operation when escaping.

Armors can easily weigh dozens of catties.

Wearing armor while escaping is really a drag!
No matter how stupid a person is, he also knows that he must throw away his armor and armor when escaping.

Obviously, most of the Eight Banners soldiers are such smart people.

Even after they withdrew from the battlefield and asked the Guan Ning Army to hunt them down, they found that their armor and weapons were basically gone.

3000, two hundred people were killed and missing, plus 400 seriously injured...

For the nearly ten thousand Eight Banners that Oboi mobilized this time, the casualties were less than half.

Casualties are nothing short of heavy!

Hearing these words, Aobai felt deep pain and despair in his eyes.

He is really going to despair!

In this battle, the casualties of the Qing Dynasty were too heavy!

The Green Battalion was almost wiped out, either surrendering or being killed.

The Eight Banners suffered less than half of the casualties, so they were considered disabled!
After he Oboi returned to the capital, there was no way to explain to the court officials!
"Let's withdraw, order the whole army to speed up, we will withdraw from Guanzhong, retreat directly to Shanxi, and return to Beijing from Shanxi."

He Tai responded, turned around and went to deliver the order.

When Aobai led his army to withdraw from Guanzhong, Guan Ning's army was also making drastic moves to regain lost ground.

One by one, prefectures and counties quickly changed hands and returned to the rule of the Guanning Army!
With the victory of the Battle of Chang'an this time, Wu Sangui's rule in Guanzhong gradually began to gain a firm foothold.

……

In the 20th year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty, on the first day of July, it was sunny!

Auspicious day!

Today is the day chosen by Zhu Hongyu to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

On this day, before dawn, Zhu Hongyu got up early.

Start to wash and dress under the service of the maid of honor.

The complicated emperor's mianfu was put on him one by one. The beautiful and complicated patterns on the mianfu looked very beautiful.

The vivid tattoos make this dress full of high-level sense.

This mianfu basically brought together the painstaking efforts of the embroidery masters of the entire south of the Yangtze River. The dragon patterns, sun and moon, mountains and rivers, vegetation, birds and beasts on it... all look similar to the real thing.

In addition to the crown suit, there is also the Pingtian Crown with Liuzhu that needs to be worn.
