Chapter 306 Great Victory
Lu Mou and Li Yan were always paying attention to the entire front, and another Jin Yiwei reported that another defense line had collapsed. Lu Mou said expressionlessly: "I don't have a reserve team. Wherever there is a collapse, I will ask the commander-in-chief to be responsible for resolutely sealing it off. We must not let a Qing army break through the encirclement. Tell all the soldiers in the army that once a Qing army breaks through and successfully crosses the mountain, then It is equivalent to letting an enemy enter the Central Plains. They will become a huge threat to our unarmed people. We must defend and annihilate the surrounded enemies."

The battle became even more fierce, with soldiers from both sides fighting everywhere. The shouts of killing were no longer heard, and it seemed like countless wild beasts were roaring.

Inside Xifeng's mouth, Wu Sangui's Guan Ning was fighting to the death.

People were crowded, horses were pressed against horses, and the cavalry and horses could only stand in circles.

If the cavalry loses its impact speed, it means it loses its absolute advantage over the infantry. As for the Korean and Han Eight Banners who kept pouring in, the Han army could not kill them all.

At this moment, another group of enemies came in, and his banner was Kong Youde, the king of Sanshun.

Most of the soldiers led by Kong Youde were Shandong bandits. Their combat effectiveness is the most powerful among the entire Manchu and Han armies.

What really put great pressure on Wu Sangui's Guan Ning was that Kong Youde's army used not the spears and broadswords favored by the Manchus, but his special skill, iron blunderbuss and shotguns.

After King Sanshun surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they did not give up the firearms that were despised by the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Instead, they used the craftsmen of the Denglai Ordnance Department they had passed over to vigorously manufacture firearms. It is the only team with the largest proportion of firearms in the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty.

As soon as they joined in, they started shooting at the Ming army on horseback with obvious targets.

The weak bow and arrow cannot shoot through Guan Ning's armor, but it is like waste paper in front of the lead and iron sand. One by one, Guan Ning's soldiers were knocked off their horses. Guan Ning's blocking line is already in danger.

At this moment, the teams of the Koreans and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, who were isolated in the south, suddenly fell into chaos.

They were driven back again.

Zhenglan Qi, who suffered heavy losses, finally broke out of the ambush and came back.

With blood-red eyes, in order to maintain the impact speed of their war horses, they directly slashed and killed the Korean and Han army comrades who were crowded to the south. They reached Guan Ning and immediately started fighting with Guan Ning.

At this time, Wu Sangui was dumbfounded.

There are still an unknown number of enemies outside the pass, and they are constantly charging in fiercely. From the south, there are Qing cavalry who are constantly breaking out of the encirclement.

The trapped beast still fights and is terrifying. Their battle is no longer fighting each other, but fighting desperately. If you attack me, I won't even try to dodge and block you. I will directly kill you with the knife and die together with you.

The Qing soldiers seemed to be killing endlessly, but their own Guan Ning soldiers were killing less and less.

The 50,000 Guan Ning in his hand is the guarantee for him to gain a high position in the Ming Dynasty. Once Guan Ning spends all his money, according to the original Ming Dynasty rules, he will be nothing in the blink of an eye, and he can only go to the Ministry of War Staff Department to be a staff officer with duties but no power.

After losing most of the troops, this was a surprise attack and eventually turned into a flanking attack. Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and ordered: "All troops, withdraw from the east and west gates to fight."

Following his order, Guan Ning took the lead in withdrawing from the battle, and the entire Gubeikou was completely occupied by the Qing army.

A Jinyi guard urgently reported: "Report to the Regent that Wu Sangui has withdrawn from Gubeikou. The enemy's retreat has been opened."

Lu Mou had no expression on his face, but he was furious in his heart, and he said between his teeth: "Son of a bitch."

Then he gave the order: "The whole army beats drums to send orders, attack, and annihilate the remaining enemies in the valley."

After learning that the retreat was open, the Qing soldiers who had been desperately attacking to open a breakthrough suddenly lost their temper. They immediately fled back down the mountain and joined the defeated army.

When the Ming troops who were ambushing on both sides heard the sound of attacking drums and trumpets, their momentum was like a rainbow. Picking up the bayonet, he jumped out of the trench, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and attacked the defeated troops.

Eager to escape and no longer under command, the Qing troops trampled each other and rushed out of the valley. As the Ming troops rushed behind them, they could not stand still and rushed out of Gubeikou, taking Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Zhiyuan who wanted to occupy Gubeikou with them. Kong Youde's army was also overwhelmed by the rebels and had to retreat outside the Great Wall. At this moment, the 200,000-year-old Mongolian cavalry arrived belatedly.

But even though they arrived late, they put great pressure on the remaining Qing troops.

The civilians hiding in the camp outside the Great Wall, guarding supplies, were the first to bomb the camp, approaching the bombing camp of millions of civilians. What a terrifying thing it was.

In the military camp responsible for guarding the old camp, Monk Geng Jinzhong's troops immediately bombed the camp because they knew that the Little Ghost King of the Ming Dynasty hated traitors the most, especially those themselves who were stained with the blood of Shandong people, the blood of the old governor Yuan Keli whom the Little Ghost King most admired. He will never accept the surrender of people like himself.

Run, immediately, they burned the camp and rushed away.

Zu Dashou came late, feeling extremely aggrieved. When he saw the enemy camp collapsed, what else could he say? He was marching non-stop, and he didn't have to worry about any tactics, just kill.

With the addition of 200,000 fresh Mongolian troops, it was no longer possible for the entire Manchu and Qing coalition to hold back. They dispersed and trampled on each other to the east.

Along the way, there were countless casualties.

When the Mongols saw that the situation was over, they fled directly into the grassland with their remaining defeated troops.

At this time, the Jin Yiwei, who was galloping on horseback, rushed to the battlefield and shouted at the desperate fleeing civilians: "The Regent of the Ming Dynasty has an order to accept the surrender of the Han people. The Han people will surrender. Accept the surrender of the civilians and treat each other as the people of the Ming Dynasty."

The Han army and the Eight Banners, who could no longer run away, wanted to surrender to the people. They immediately collapsed to the ground and surrendered as if they had been granted amnesty.

The Ming army, mainly Zu Dashou, chased them for hundreds of miles and stopped after seeing that it was already dark. It was a pity to see that not many Qing soldiers escaped.

This battle lasted from dawn to the bright moon. It was a battlefield with a radius of hundreds of miles. There were dead horse corpses everywhere, scattered swords, guns and flags everywhere, and surrenders kneeling everywhere waiting to be received. .

Zu Dashou knelt down to plead guilty, deeply hating that he had missed the opportunity to fight, otherwise this would have been a clean siege and annihilation battle.

Lu Mou, who had already received the details, personally helped the old man up: "Old Duke, don't blame yourself. I know everything after what happened. God's will is like this, no one can blame him. Just do your best."

It turned out that Zu Dashou, who had been hiding in the Daheishan Mountains, was expecting to attack the slaves at any time. After getting the information, he immediately attacked.

However, God was not kind to the upper reaches of the Laoha River leading to the battlefield. During several consecutive days of heavy rain, the water in the river surged to its peak. Zu Dashou, who was eager to participate in the war, could only wait for the water in the river to drop slightly, and then he was the first to lead the team, Prancing Horse. Cross the river. For this reason, tens of thousands of 200,000 Mongolian cavalry drowned while crossing the river. Only then did he arrive at the battlefield.

Facing Wu Sangui who was ashamed and didn't know how to report, Lu Mou was disgusted and wanted to kill him directly, but in the end he changed his face to a smile: "Although Lord Marquis has not done all his work, it is excusable, and it is still a great achievement."

Then clean the battlefield and tally the gains and losses.

In this Great Wall defense battle, 200,000 enemies were wiped out. In this battle, the enemy was annihilated in ambush, and they trampled on each other after the defeat. The total number of enemies was nearly 400,000. The civilians were captured and pretended to be civilians, and the total number of civilians was 600,000. In the end, Dorgon secretly calculated that the Eight Manchu Banners, Eight Han Banners, and Han troops who had fled back were less than 150,000 in total, and only 20,000 Korean troops were left.

When the Qing Dynasty sent out an actual 750,000 troops, it lost a total of 550,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han Dynasty allied forces, and 600,000 Han slaves and strong laborers. Years of looting and looting were all used up.

The biggest unexpected loss was that the 20 million yuan brought to the northwest by the Eight Families, the real money used to buy grain, was wasted without even making a sound. This is the most unfair thing.

After this battle, Beining and Liaoxi were also lost, and the strategic situation in Liaoxi immediately changed. From then on, the Manchu Qing Dynasty moved from strategic initiative to strategic passivity.

The world war launched by Dorgon to destroy Ming Dynasty ended in a complete defeat. The Ming Dynasty remains strong.
