Although the fine steel used for forging firearms in the Ming Dynasty still had many shortcomings, the iron smelting industry was already in full swing. The caltrops were simple to make and had low requirements for iron quality, which was very suitable for large-scale production.

Once this thing is scattered on the road, it will often cause major damage to the Qing army's cavalry. Especially the horse galloping, once it steps on the caltrops, it will often be covered with blood.

This place was the trap left by the Hu Ben Army when it retreated. Ajige then remembered that the Hu Ben Army had just rushed up the slope alone. In other words, they had only left a small retreat path, and the main slope was probably covered with caltrops.

At this time, Dongfang had just turned white and the sky was still dark. Ajige knew that they could not continue chasing.

The Hu Ben Army on the earth slope whistled arrogantly, turned its horse's head with great might, and disappeared on the vast grassland again.

When Dorgon's army arrived, the Hu Ben army had already run away.

Seeing the Dorgon army rushing towards him, Ajige said angrily: "Run away, these Ming thieves are very cunning."

Dorgon was shocked and wanted to rush up the slope to see what happened. Ajige called him: "Be careful, there is a trap ahead!"

Dorgon hurriedly stopped his horse, and then he discovered the war horses that had been stepped on the caltrops and the Qing soldiers who fell off the horse in a mess.

This was a failed pursuit. Ajige dropped many Qing soldiers who were shot and killed along the way. And they didn't even touch the Mao of the Hu Ben Army.

The dawn of the people finally appeared, and the earth was shining with warm sunshine. However, after dawn, Ajige was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Because, he clearly saw that there were caltrops sprinkled on the slope except for a small piece of land. It was bare and nothing but grass.

This makes people angry. The Hu Ben Army did not set up a caltrop formation at all.

On the way back, Azig suddenly stopped and slapped his forehead hard: "Damn it! Damn it!"

Dorgon, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but be surprised: "Ajige, what's wrong with you?"

Azig didn't say anything. He clamped his legs and ran away with his horse. His chest was full of anger, and he hated him so much!

Ajige hated not only the Hu Ben Army, but his own stupidity. It is obvious that this pair of Hu Ben Army was not their main force. Even the hundreds of Hu Ben Army soldiers who appeared on the earth slope later indicated that this was just a small team of Hu Ben Army.

How could these hundreds of people have laid so many caltrops at once? Even if they are full of horses, they can't bring so many.

At the beginning, he was just frightened by the sudden appearance of the Hu Ben Army. He thought that this was the main force of the Hu Ben Army, and he was deliberately luring himself into the bait.

Thinking about it now, I really regret it. He should have ignored it and rushed up with thousands of troops at once.

Little did they know that fortunately Ajige did not rush forward. When Fengle and his team retreated, they prepared three plans. Each plan was specifically designed to deal with the pursuit of Qing soldiers.

Even if Ajige did not care about the caltrops on the ground and rushed forward, the Qing army would not have any benefits.

Ajige and Dorgon returned to the Qing army camp one after another.

However, things were always beyond their expectations. When Ajige and Dorgon, who had returned to the camp after pursuing the Hu Ben Army, returned to the camp, they found that their left wing was severely damaged by the Hu Ben Army.

In this battle, the Qing soldiers suffered more casualties. In preliminary counting, the number of deaths reported in the battle was as high as 1,111.

This is equivalent to a major battle loss ratio.

The worst thing is that the Hu Ben Army was almost unscathed. The Qing army, Huang Taiji's left wing, was caught off guard, and was killed and injured.

Just as Ajige was chasing the Huben Army Fengle and others, Dorgon rushed to the scene with reinforcements from the Zhengbai Banner. Then, the Zhengbai Banner camp on the left wing of Huangtaiji was taken to the house by the Huben Army.

It was so terrifying that a huge fear spread in Huangtai's heart. Huangtaiji felt that there were detailed works among the Eight Banners soldiers, and those of the Ming people.

It must be, otherwise why their information would be so accurate? Why did Ajige and Dorgon leave and their camp was attacked? How did they know that the main force of Zhengbai Banner came out of the camp?

The Eight Banners are not the Manchu Eight Banners, but also the Han army and Mongolian army among the Eight Banners. The Eight Banners Han army is one of the three components of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, referring to the Han army flags of the Eight Banners, and does not have the eight Han army flags alone.

Some of them are mistakenly called "Eight Banners of the Han Army". They are composed of the Eight Banners Manchu and the Eight Banners Mongolia. They are all organized by military quotations, and are divided into the Eight Banners, Huang, Zhengbai, Zhenghong, Zhengbian, Bai, and Blue.

To put it bluntly, there are both Han and Mongols in the Eight Banners army. The main source of the Eight Banners Han army was the voluntary traitors who took the initiative to be traitors and traitors in the late Ming Dynasty. They surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty or were plundered by their inherited regimes in subsequent wars. The Qing Dynasty was mainly Han people, and there were also a small number of the Chinese Jurchens and the Mongols who had become officials in the Ming Dynasty.

What Huang Taiji now suspects is that there are traitors in the Eight Banners Han Army.

After all, there is no other reasonable explanation for such a thing except for the appearance of a traitor. Even the death of Du Du, the leader of the Inlaid Red Flag, was also related to the traitor.

The head of the Zhengbai Banner was Dorgon, but Ajige also belonged to the Zhengbai Banner. When they came back, they found that the military camp was in chaos and the bodies of Qing soldiers were everywhere, which made the two of them furious.

Huang Taiji, who was dragging his sick body, was full of tears. The last thing he regretted now was to attack Mingguo.

Huang Taiji held a horse-rejecting pile, which was burned half of the horse-rejecting pile due to the fire.

The horse-received pile is a moving obstacle used in ancient combat. It is made of wood into a sheep's crucifix and is set at key points. It is mainly used to defend against cavalry assaults, so it is called the horse-received pile.

Looking at the rest of the ground, Ajig could no longer bear it. He threw away the weapon in his hand, sat on the ground, and cried loudly: "Emperor, Emperor, kill the Guangming Army and take revenge! Avenge your brothers, ahhhh~!"

Dorgon was silent. He held the crossbow tightly, and his back turned white. Huang Taiji's body was shaking and his mind was dizzy. He tried hard to calm down and tried not to make himself angry.

"Set the soldiers and let's go north. I will take you home."

Huang Taiji's tone was lonely, and his back was staggering and lonely. This Qing emperor, who was once a hero who was ambitious and arrogant in the world, left the Zhengbai Banner's military camp, had a down-and-out back, as if he was an old man with a sloppy steps.

The morale of the Qing soldiers of the Eight Banners fell to a low point.

It was raining and raining. Once the Mongolian coalition forces of Abunai and others returned to their hometown, they left their former allies and returned to the grassland.

The Mongolian coalition's farewell without saying goodbye made the Qing soldiers even worse.
