Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 245 Azig's Defeat
Ming Andali had to withdraw his cavalry team out of the range of the flintlock guns in the hands of the new army. Many soldiers were stained with a lot of blood, but almost all of them belonged to his companions.

Ming Andali asked people to make a rough count, and in the battle just now, he lost at least [-] cavalry.

How long did it take, the two thousand cavalry disappeared like this, how difficult it is to train an excellent cavalry, they disappeared so soon, Ming Andali's heart was bleeding.

"Dong dong dong..."

Here, the new army sent people to quickly transport the wounded to the rear, and arranged the formation. Under the command of the drums, they began to advance slowly at a neat pace.

With Tangning's order, he dispatched another team to form two hollow phalanxes for support, and at the same time led the main force to advance slowly.

Seeing the new army slowly approaching, Ming Andali's scalp felt numb for a while, and he couldn't even break through three phalanxes. Now the new army has five phalanxes, and there are more than 2 people behind them. What's the deal with this battle? hit?
Ming Andari sent someone to tell Azig his thoughts, his meaning was very simple, this battle had already been lost, and it was irreversible.

If you want to recover some losses as much as possible, you should retreat as soon as possible. Fortunately, the new army is mainly infantry. If you want to leave, it will be difficult for the new army to catch up. They are willing to stay behind.

Azig, who has a fiery personality, is naturally unwilling to admit defeat like this, and kept roaring.

However, the generals of the Qing army under his command were also vigorously persuading, and even moved out of Dorgon.

They did not use Dorgon to deter Azig, but analyzed the pros and cons, and told Azig about the power disputes in the court.

The King Regent is so powerful that one person is less than ten thousand people, but all of this depends on the strength controlled by the King Regent, holding two white flags tightly in his hand.

The regent sent one brother and one brother south to fight for military exploits, not to consume his own strength.

Duoduo's Inlaid White Banner had already lost a lot in Yangzhou City, and now the White Banner's loss was even greater, which undoubtedly greatly weakened the strength in the hands of the Regent.

The regent's power is too great, which has aroused the fear of many people. Coupled with Tangning's continuous provocation, many people in the court think that the regent may have evil intentions.

Just in case, as Tang Ning said, the Emperor Shunzhi would dig up the grave and dismantle the bones in the future.

If the King Regent has enough strength in his hands, these dissidents will naturally not dare to take any action, but if the strength in the hands of the King Regent is too damaged, some people will see the hope of overthrowing the King Regent, I am afraid there will be many People will jump out.

For example, Hauge, originally the throne should belong to Hauge, but it was because of the interference of the regent that the throne was taken by the little Shunzhi.

However, the little Shunzhi was not taken seriously by the regent at all. Whether it was Shunzhi or Hauge, I am afraid that they would have a lot of resentment towards the regent in their hearts.

If there is not enough strength to deter, who knows what these people will think?
Of course, when these people persuaded Azig, they would not speak so bluntly, but Azige could hear the general meaning.

The three brothers have their own interests tied together, one prospers and one loses all, Azig can understand good and bad no matter how stupid he is.

No matter how unwilling he was, Azig had to admit his failure.

Because he was persuaded, and he also knew the pros and cons of it, and knew that the strength of the two white flags could no longer be consumed like this.

"Let Shang Kexi's infantry stay behind, and inform the rest of them to retreat immediately. Inform Ming Andali, and let him retreat too." Azig ordered with a cold face, feeling very angry and unwilling.

It can be said that after leaving the capital and going south, they fought against Li Zicheng's Chuangjun all the way, and they were almost unbeaten, and the loss of the Zhengbai Banner in their hands was pitifully small.

But I didn't expect that he would suffer so badly in the hands of the new army, even to the point where he had to flee in embarrassment.

He, Azig, had never been so embarrassed in his combat career, how could this make him swallow this breath in his heart.

If he hadn't considered the changes in the court's situation, Azig would really not have been reconciled to such a failure.

But saying anything now is superfluous. Even if you want to preserve your strength, you shouldn't waste your strength here. The struggle between the various factions in the court is even more dangerous.

Azig had a bit of conscience, he didn't immediately lead the Eight Banners to leave alone, but passed on the order, first gathered the cavalry back, and then prepared to retreat.

The Manchu and Mongolian troops agreed with the retreat, and Shang Kexi was the one who felt the most indignant and helpless.

Because his troops are mainly infantry, his infantry will inevitably be left behind when he withdraws, and Azig did the same.

His gratifying force was not very large, and his combat effectiveness was not as good as Wu Sangui's Guanning Army. He had already lost a lot in continuous battles. Now if he left the infantry behind, he was gratifying and only had 3000 to [-] men left.

King Zhishun, one of the three dignified Shun kings, only has 3000 people in his hands, what can he do?Can the title of King Zhishun still be preserved?Will it still get the attention of the Qing court in the future?

However, even if he didn't want to, Shang Kexi could only grit his teeth and agree, because Azig, Ming Andali and the others all stared blankly, obviously guarding.

It can be said that Shang Kexi was "detained" to retreat. He was asked to lead only a dozen personal guards to follow Azig and his party, and then retreat with Azig and others, directly separating him from his troops. opened.

At this juncture, he is glad that if he is found to have committed any misconduct, not to mention his title as King Zhishun, he may even lose his own head at any time.

Shang Kexi let out a long sigh in his heart, and had to admire Wu Sangui's grasp of the timing and decisiveness of his actions. The move of surrendering to the new army was a right move.

"Rumble..." Azig led less than [-] cavalry to turn around and prepare to retreat in the direction of Yingtianfu.

Yes, of the [-] troops who came, there were only less than [-] left when they returned.

Except for Wu Sangui's [-] Guan Ning army who suddenly rebelled, almost all the rest were lost.

Of course, this included Shang Kexi's [-] to [-] infantrymen who were about to be discarded. Since these infantrymen were discarded, their fate would either surrender to the new army, or be annihilated but flee, and the loss was only a matter of time.

However, just as the Qing army changed the formation from the rear to the front and was about to retreat, suddenly, there was a scream of "咻咻......".

"Boom boom boom..." The sound of terrifying explosions suddenly sounded one after another in the cavalry camp.

The earth was trembling, the flames were soaring into the sky, the smoke filled the air, and the huge air waves knocked the horses and cavalry into pieces.

For a moment, the sky was dark, as if the end was coming, many people lost their direction, and the horses scattered and fled uncontrollably.

The formation was a little chaotic when they were turning around, but it became even more chaotic at this time.

"Protect Your Highness, retreat quickly, retreat quickly..." Azig's guards shouted anxiously, but their voices were quickly drowned out by the violent artillery fire.
