The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 92
Night falls.

The noisy battlefield has been completely silent, and the entire battlefield is filled with a strong smell of blood and stench.

Corpses and weapon flags were everywhere, and the land turned into dark black patches.

At this time, the camp of Jiannu was already occupied by the Ming army, and Dorgon was also sitting in the commander-in-chief seat of the red lady.

But no one in the commander's account happily celebrated today's big victory. It stands to reason that the opponent retreated first. They won the battle, but the casualties far exceeded the opponent's.

So the atmosphere in the tent was very depressing.

"Battle damage has been roughly calculated. In today's battle, our army killed [-] infantry and nearly [-] were injured. As for the cavalry, since General Wu has not returned, it is unknown, but it should not be light. "

The red lady looked at the general casualty statistics list, said slowly, and sighed in her heart.

Everyone was silent when they heard the horrific casualties. This battle was too tragic. If Dorgon hadn't escaped suddenly, the final loss would have been doubled, and even Hong Niangzi would have died in battle.

"Everyone, although the losses in this battle were heavy, it was far beyond the governor's expectation. For this battle alone, Jiannu will definitely retreat immediately, and within three to five years, we will not be able to attack from the side. This battle can be said to be a big one for our army. Total victory!"

Seeing that everyone was listless, the red lady had no choice but to cheer up.

The battle during the day was indeed too unexpected for her, and she had prepared for the worst.

That is when Li Dakai and Liu Fangliang captured the Tartar camp, and Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo fled back to the south bank of the canal with the defeated soldiers.

The entire Chinese army was wiped out, and how much the 7 former army and [-] cavalry could escape could only depend on the luck of Liu Zeqing and Wu Sanfu.

But now not only has the Tartar camp taken away, there are still more than [-] soldiers left in the Chinese army, and nearly [-] left in the former army of [-].

The left army and the right army combined had only [-] casualties, which was a result she could not have dreamed of before the war.

"That's right, what your mother said is right, this time the fight was really fun."

Liu Liangzuo laughed dryly.

His 3 horses only lost two or three thousand, but he didn't feel very distressed.

Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing on the side had no choice but to agree, but their emotions were obviously not high.

Because Liu Zeqing's 5 people lost nearly 3, and Gao Jie's [-] people also lost several thousand.

But Liu Fangliang and Li Dakai didn't lose much. How can the three of them still not understand that they were sold by Hong Niangzi?

But Hong Niangzi's own [-] descendants lost the most, and even made up their minds to die.

Apart from scolding her for being stupid, the three of them really didn't know what to say.

"Okay, I'm tired today, let's all go down and rest, Li Dakai, your department will be responsible for the defense of the camp at night, and report to me as soon as General Wu comes back."

Seeing that everyone was not in a good mood, and she felt uncomfortable, she had to wave her hand and dismiss the meeting.

"Yes!"

Everyone got up and left.

At dawn the next day, Li Dakai and Liu Fangliang led people to clean up the battlefield, and at this time Wu Sanfu finally returned with five thousand defeated soldiers.

As soon as he got off the horse, he fell to his knees and cried loudly, and his war horse also fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

More than half of the remaining 5000 horses fell down, and those that didn't fall down were obviously useless.

"Your Majesty, Guan Ning's cavalry is finished!"

"Second brother is back, how can I explain... woo woo..."

"My chasing wind!"

"Duoduo is the killer, he chased and killed the last general all night..."

Wu Sanfu knelt beside his beloved war horse, howling like ghosts and wolves, with snot and tears.

"Okay, General Wu, this time you have made a great contribution. This governor will definitely report to His Majesty and ask for credit for you. The cavalry will be formed after the cavalry is gone. As long as the brothers come back, the horse will be raised after the death of the horse!"

Seeing him crying sadly, the red lady had no choice but to come forward to comfort him.

The rest of the general soldiers also hurried forward to put on a few words of comfort.

However, after seeing the miserable state of Wu Sanfu and Guan Ning's cavalry, Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, and Liu Liangzuo all felt a little better. Compared to Wu Sanfu, their losses were nothing at all.

"Your Majesty, this is Jiannu's handsome flag..."

Wu Sanfu wiped away his tears before taking out Dorgon's handsome flag from his horse, holding it in both hands and handing it to Hong Niangzi.

"Okay! General Wu will count the first in this battle!"

The red lady took over the big flag and was overjoyed, and then ordered someone to send it to the capital together with the good news.

It's just a pity that Dorgon's head is missing.

In fact, the reason why Guan Ning's cavalry was killed so embarrassingly is that Wu Sangui took away all three thousand family members, which greatly reduced the overall combat power of Guanning's cavalry and lost the ability to shoot and ride.

This led to being chased and killed by Doduo unscrupulously all the way. If it hadn't been dark in time, I'm afraid they would all be finished. After all, the Tartars are one man and two horses.

Wu Sanfu finally got some comfort in his heart, suppressed his grief, and followed everyone into the camp.

If he had known this before, he would rather go to Aobai to kill him yesterday than to chase and kill Dorgon. In the end, Dorgon was not killed, but was almost killed by Duoduo.

At this time, Dorgon, who was almost killed by Wu Sanfu, also cried, beat his chest and stamped his feet in Sanhe County Yamen, full of regret.

Yesterday, the Mongolian cavalry and the Eight Banners cavalry fled all the way to Sanhe County before stopping.

The Han Eight Banners only escaped this morning by relying on two legs.

Of the 5 Mongolian cavalry, there are still more than [-] left, and the number of deaths in battle is only a few thousand fewer than that of the Ming army.

It can be seen that as long as the infantry dares to fight and kill, relying on formation and obstacles, it will not suffer from the frontal attack of the cavalry.

And this is when Hong Niangzi's 5 horses are not well equipped, otherwise I'm afraid it's really hard to say.

Although the elite of the Forty Thousand and Eight Banners only lost [-], the distressed Dorgon bleeds.

Because the Eight Banners have never suffered such a loss since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it can be said that they have been injured.

Therefore, all the soldiers of the Eight Banners hated the Guanning iron cavalry.

As for the 3 Han and Eight Banners, it was naturally the worst, and only [-] people fled back.

There is no way to do this. After losing a battle, the infantry will always be the most unlucky.

Although they lost for a while, with the addition of Azig's 12 cavalry, Jiannu still has nearly [-] cavalry, and its overall strength is still stronger than that of the Ming army.

However, the food and grass have been lost, and there is no way to fight anymore.

At this moment, Dorgon finally understood that the cavalry alone could not conquer the Han people, and he also understood that at the beginning, it was still gratifying, and when Geng Jingzhong and others came to vote, why did the starling go out of the city for thirty miles to meet them, and even insisted on blocking the crowd? They are kings.

In yesterday's battle, if he had [-] more infantry, even if he had [-] to [-] less cavalry, he would still be able to defeat the Ming army.

Of course, if he hadn't been careless and was taken advantage of by Wu Sanfu's bastard, the Ming army would also have to lose its skin.

But it was too late to say anything now, there was no need to send someone to ask, he also knew that the red lady would never fight again.

No matter how unwilling Dorgon was, he only took a day's rest before leading the army to Xifengkou.

When they left, the Tartars finally showed their fangs. Not only did they slaughter Sanhe County, they took away all the women's food and goods, and they also sent horses to eat up all the wheat in the fields along the way.

After the red lady rested for two days, leaving Gao Jie and Li Dakai to garrison, she led the army and pressed down slowly.

After joining forces with Zhou Yuji's army in Sanhe County, they sped up their marching speed a bit, but due to the lack of cavalry, they still maintained a two-day distance from the Tartars.

When Dorgon saw the Ming army chasing him, he was not slow, and he didn't dare to march while grazing.

People ate horse meat, and horses ate grain. After ten days, they finally reached Xifengkou.

When Hong Niangzi and Zhou Yuji arrived with more than 20 troops, Dorgon had already left the Great Wall with his troops.

Both of them were very regretful, but there was nothing they could do. After all, there were too many Tartar cavalry, and they did not dare to let go of the pursuit. Rather than chasing, it would be better to expel the opponent from the Great Wall as soon as possible.
