"Do not stop the troops when they return, the troops must be surrounded, and do not pursue the enemy when they are defeated. This is the method of using troops."

The encirclement army must be missing, which comes from Sun Tzu's military chapter of the Art of War. It means that you should not block the enemy troops retreating and return to the country, leave a gap for escape from the surrounded enemy troops, and do not overforce the enemy troops on the verge of despair.

Because once you are forced too much or leave no way out, the enemy may give you a burning boat and burst out with powerful combat power.

This place is isolated and helpless, far away from the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji's purpose is not to capture Shaanxi, if it is plundering and looting. Since this is the case, his attack direction is mainly at the north gate of the city. There are very few or even no troops stationed in the south gate. If the Ming army knew each other and abandoned the city and fled, it would be just right.

At night, the outside of Baiyin City was quiet. The Qing soldiers retreated to camp thirty miles outside the city, and the Qing soldiers patrolling the north of the city also seemed lazy. Anyway, the Ming army in the city was not strong enough, so they caught themselves off guard with fierce tinder oil.

Everyone knows that fierce turmeric oil is extremely rare, and at this time there is probably not much in Baiyin City. When dawn, only the emperor's order is needed. The Qing army will launch a large-scale attack, and this time we will strive to take down the city in one fell swoop. Kill him without leaving any hell, thinking that the brothers who died in battle yesterday will avenge their revenge.

The night was dark and the wind was high and the murderer was on the night, and the south gate of Baiyin City quietly opened. Song Xiance led the remnants of the Ming army and the soldiers of the Eastern Palace Guard to quietly find out the city.

There is a more interesting phenomenon: there are Qing soldiers from the South Gate. And there are quite a few people, about two or three thousand.

A team of Qing soldiers patrolling the night was about a team of twelve or three. Song Xiance and the others quietly groped under the city wall, and then they collided with the Qing soldiers patrol team outside the city.

In fact, this Qing army team patrolled here. However, there were short Qing soldiers at the end of the team who had fallen to the end. When he squatted down to tidy up his trousers, he turned around and stared at Song Xiance and others.

At this time, the soldier was still dozens of meters away from Song Xiance and others. Even if Song Xiance and others wanted to shoot this person with a crossbow, it was too late, because the Qing army soldier could summon his companions by just shouting before his death.

However, it was probably because the soldier was so scared that he was stunned or for another reason. When he looked at Song Xiance and others, he just squatted on the ground in a daze, but he didn't shout for a long time.

Yan Yishuang, beside Song Xiance, aimed the crossbow in her hand at the soldier. Unexpectedly, when Song Xiance saw that the other party did not shout, he actually stretched out his hand and pressed the crossbow arrow in Yan Yishuang's hand.

Song Xiance’s meaning is very obvious. If you don’t kill you, you will be let go.

The soldier was stunned and ran away. He fell a few times on the road. The team of patrol soldiers in front had to turn around and scold him. The guy who looked like a squad leader in the team punched and kicked the soldier and was also swearing.

The soldier held his head and lay on the ground and let his companions punch and kick. His eyes were staring at Song Xiance and others in the darkness of the city wall, but he never made any sound.

I don’t know what grudges this Qing army soldier had with his squad, but he did not warn him after discovering the Ming army. Perhaps, although he was of the same Manchu tribe, he hated his colleagues’ abuse of him.

Or, this soldier did not belong to the Manchus, but the Han people who were previously looted to the Qing Dynasty.

Or maybe he was so scared, or maybe he found out at first that Song Xiance and others did not warn. If he spoke again now, it might be a serious crime.

Because you discovered the Ming army and did not have a timely warning, the military order would be beheaded.

No matter what the reason was, the soldier who was beaten up never said a word. In this way, the team disappeared in front of everyone.

The shocked Song Xiance and others finally recovered. They had already grasped the weapons in their hands and were ready to fight for a way out.

At this moment, Yuan Xiaoxiao and the others in the southwest corner took action. This was one of the few cavalrymen. Yuan Xiaoxiao and others rode their horses, holding the sintered tinder in their hands, and threw them at the enemy's position.

Because of the loss of eating fierce tincture oil before, Qing soldiers, who were bitten by snakes for ten years, were really afraid of these fierce tincture oils. As a result, the enemy camp was in chaos.

Soon Huang Taiji got the news that the Ming army broke through, which made him happy without being angry: "Send the order and pretend to stop it. If it is not necessary, there is no need to fight."

With the emperor's will, no one in the Qing army wanted to get into trouble. Night battles were not what the Qing army was good at. Huang Taiji was afraid that attacking at night would be detrimental to the Eight Banners soldiers.

Yuan Xiaoxiao and his group created chaos in the southwest corner, and it was almost done. They turned their horses and followed the team of Song Xiance and others from the southeast direction, and everyone ran all the way.

After all, the enemy and us will meet each other. Song Xiance rushed halfway and collided with a team of Qing soldiers.

So, a fierce battle began. Yan Yishuang protected Song Xiance and led everyone out of the siege.

When the two sides really fought each other, Song Xiance couldn't help but feel shocked. The combat effectiveness of the Qing army was indeed terrifying. The eight thousand people under his command were no match for them at all. The eight thousand people, less than five thousand people were left to escape.

In this way, what they broke through was the weak point of the Qing army encirclement. The Qing Dynasty was sparsely populated, but its combat effectiveness was extremely terrifying.

When you arrive at a place called Niujiaocha, everyone does not have to worry about being caught up by the Qing army. Because, moving forward is a continuous and steep mountain, and horses cannot enter.

The military horses including Yuan Xiaoxiao and others could only abandon their horses and walk here.

"Mr. Song, what should I do if these war horses are?" Yuan Xiaoxiao asked reluctantly.

Song Xiance turned around and said, "I will kill them all, and I cannot leave them to Jiannu."

Although they had been expected, Yuan Xiaoxiao and others were still extremely reluctant to leave. These military horses were all in the horse farm in Beijing. His Royal Highness personally selected good horses for them. Now, these horses can only be killed.

Otherwise, after being caught up by the Qing soldiers, it will become their spoils.

Yuan Xiaoxiao was reluctant to leave and stroked her war horse. The horse was very gentle and listened to her especially. But now that she has arrived here, she really can't do anything.

Yan Yishuang and others also pleaded with mercy: "Mr. Song, let these horses be alive. Without them, we would not be able to escape."

"Mr. Song, please!" The soldiers of the Eastern Palace Guard also pleaded with mercy.

On the battlefield, war horses are the second life of soldiers. If the soldiers want to kill their horses, they will not be able to do anything.

Song Xiance sighed: "Okay, untie their reins and leave them to fate."

Hundreds of good horses were selected from the Beijing horse farm. The soldiers of the Eastern Palace Guard reluctantly untied the reins of these horses.

However, some war horses have been with their owners for a long time. No matter how they drive, they just refuse to leave.

But Niujiaocha is rugged and difficult to move around. These four-legged horses cannot get up no matter what. Staying here can only become prisoners of the Qing soldiers.

Yan Yishuang was still decisive. She held a whip in her hand and whipped the horses hard. The effect was obvious. At this time, the horses were frightened and immediately ran away in scattered.

These war horses fled in scattered areas. Whether they can escape the pursuit depends on their luck.
