I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 416 Liaodong was stolen

The Qing Dynasty is about to withdraw its troops!

Yinzhen and Yinzhen did not alert the enemy, but still sent a large number of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry that day to march south along Shimen Town, assuming a posture of trying to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army's dragoons.

Yang Gong and Yu Kecheng had no doubts and decisively ordered the dragoons to retreat to avoid the enemy and avoid any close combat conflicts with the Manchu cavalry.

The performance of the Ming army's dragoons was indeed impressive, with almost one man equaling ten. However, the number of troops was too small. There were only [-] cavalry, of which [-] were drawn from Nanjing.Moreover, it is difficult for the dragoons to fight in close combat, because the armor wearing rate is too low, and they mainly rely on fire guns and wall formations to charge.

At the end of the day, both sides suffered casualties. The Manchu and Qing cavalry suffered thousands of casualties, while the Ming army fought and retreated, also losing nearly a hundred.

The cavalry was withdrawn in the evening, and when night fell, Yinhu quickly ordered the camp to be set up. The army was lightly armed and marched, and even the civilian husbands were not needed.

Mongolian princes such as Luobuzang Shenbu and Sakulak, who were the Mongolian princes of the alliance banners in Monan, only received the order to retreat in the evening. Without any discussion, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow them to the north.

The next day, when the Ming army inspected their horses, they noticed something unusual. Only then did Yang Gong and Yu Kecheng realize that they had been dumped. Ning Nanhui took his own dragoons and two Mongolian cavalrymen, Eljitu and Suzhuktu, who had surrendered. Immediately pursue northward.

The Ming army's infantry troops were divided into two groups. Yang Gong led the First Army to continue to pursue the Manchu and Qing armies to the north, while Yu Kecheng's Second Army was divided into two, one headed east to support Shanhaiguan, and the other headed west to cooperate with the attack on Shanxi. Fu Yunsheng of the Ninth Army completely eliminated Liu Ruhan.

"Dudududu da da da da..."

The overwhelming sound of horse hooves was accompanied by the continuous blowing of trumpets by the Ming army to gather troops.

Yinhu's army was too large and moved too hastily.Although they withdrew their troops in advance, they were quickly bitten by the Ming army before they even retreated to Zunhua.

Yinsu said: "Arabtan, go and stop the Han cavalry!"

This Alabutan is not the other Arabtan. This Alabutan is the leader of the Zhuosotu League and the sixth Zasak of the Left Banner of the Tumed Department (Fuxin). His pasture station is next to Shengjing.

Yinhu had already anticipated the consequences of his withdrawal, so he deliberately packed up the nearby Mongolian alliance flags.

Alabutan's face was distorted, and he was silent for a long time before he knelt down and listened to the order: "Please rest assured, Prince Regent, as long as Alabutan does not die, the Han cavalry will never be able to get past him."

On the side, Hamugaba Yasihulangtu, who is also from Zasak, Tumed Right Banner (Chaoyang, Beipiao), had no joy at all on his face and fell into silence.

After Alabutan symbolically expressed his loyalty, he immediately led his own Tumut cavalry and rode off to see him off.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Without any bells and whistles, the Ming army dragoons fired from a long distance, and then continued the old dog-walking style, running and firing volleys.

Although the Ming army's dragoons were more numerous than Arabtan's Tumote cavalry, there were still tens of thousands of Manchu and Qing cavalry on the opposite side, so Ning Nanhui did not dare to take any risks.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Da da da da!"

The sound of flintlock gunfire continued on the field, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves galloping back and forth.

The battle lasted for two hours, and the Tumut cavalry suffered heavy casualties. It could almost be said to be a one-sided massacre.

Even Zasak, Arabtan, was shot several times. Although none of them hit his vitals, he was injured by bullets in so many places these days, and it was due to the extremely poor sanitary environment of the battlefield.

There is a high probability that Alabutan will not survive. Not everyone has the Ming army's allicin.

However, taking advantage of this time, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also retreated all the way, and finally retreated to Zunhua, where they also received a batch of grain and grass luggage shipped from outside the customs.It is only 120 miles from Zunhua to Xifengkou. If you persist a little longer, you will be able to get out of the customs.

Both Yang Gong and Ning Nanhui were aware of this problem. Yang Gong made a quick decision, threw away his baggage, took only a few days of food and grass, marched lightly along the Li River, and went around to Santun Camp in advance to prepare for an ambush.

Ning Nanhui did not receive the order and could only lead the dragoons to hold on and avoid fighting as much as possible.After several rounds of fighting, the ammunition of the Ming army's dragoons has been almost exhausted, and if they fight a few more times, they will be like burning fire sticks.

Another day later, the Manchus continued to withdraw their troops to the north.

Ning Nanhui tried several waves of harassment, but not only had no effect, he was almost bitten by the Manchu cavalry, so he had to retreat in embarrassment.

The Manchu and Qing army arrived at Santun Camp at noon, and Yang Gong, who had arrived at Santun Camp earlier, immediately led his army to fight.

The head-on showdown that Yinsu had been longing for since entering the pass had arrived, but now he was not happy at all.

The longer it takes now, the more dangerous it will be for the Manchus!
Yinhu wanted to fight quickly, so almost all the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry came out.Yang Gong's troops are all infantry. Although it is not impossible to fight cavalry, it is still very difficult.

Because they couldn't catch them at all, they had to rely on the infantry phalanx and the cavalry.

The battle lasted for half the afternoon, with casualties on both sides. The Ming army's artillery was too heavy, so it could not keep up with the main force. All those involved in the battle were infantry. As for the firepower output, they relied entirely on artillery soldiers, grenadiers and mortars. .

Otherwise, the traditional infantry phalanx would not have been adopted.

It was almost evening, and Ning Nanhui's cavalry caught up to join the battle, and then the battle subsided.

Yinhu planned to launch a general attack on the next day. The [-] Sauron soldiers would also have to fight, and they would defeat the Han soldiers on the opposite side no matter what.

"Da da da da!"

"Report! Prince Regent, there is an urgent military message from Liaodong!" Suddenly a journeyman came to report.

Yinsu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately opened the letter. After reading it twice, his eyes widened with extreme disbelief on his face: "Han soldiers raided Liaodong, Haicheng and Liaoyang fell, Shengjing is in danger!"

Yinzhen was also in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

They also fought with Han soldiers in Beizhili. Although there was not much fighting, the main force of Han soldiers should have been in Beizhili.He had never left, so why did he suddenly attack Liaodong and even Liaoyang fell?

What the hell is this?

Dai Duo couldn't help but asked, "Do you know how many people are here?"

"I don't know." Yinsu shook his head. He had just read it over and over again. The letter and newspaper did not mention how many Han soldiers there were. There were either countless words or asking for troops to rescue them as soon as possible.

The three of them were speechless for a long time. After coming here for a while, Dai Duo said: "Prince Regent, please don't go on like this. Otherwise, we will allow Han soldiers to plunder and kill in Liaodong. Even if we go back, it will be useless."

Yinqi nodded: "We must evacuate as soon as possible. If we evacuate now, we can also cooperate with the Eight Banners of Liaodong to attack the Han soldiers in Liaodong from both front and rear."

After a brief discussion, Yinhu thought for a moment and said: "Then we will retreat tonight, remind those Monan Mongolian princes that we will retreat overnight tonight, and tell them not to fight. When we retreat to the grassland, let Luo Bu Zangshenbu and Sakulak respectively went to annex the pastures and tribes of Eljitu and Suzuktu."

　I'm so sleepy, the limited exemption is not coming, I really deserve it
