Chapter 125 Tartars are leaving
A bloody battle, from the early morning to the setting sun.
Zhu Youxiao didn't know how many Tartar steel knives he had fought with, how many swords he had been hit, and how many soldiers blocked the sword for him.
He ordered a decisive retreat after he saw that the cavalry battalion, the baggage battalion and the engineering battalion were almost at the verge of collapse.
The baggage battalion was in front and the cavalry was behind. Zhu Youxiao led the engineering battalion and the military police to retreat in the middle. At the same time, the first infantry battalion was ordered to come back. As soon as the imperial guards retreated, they immediately made up and lined up to shoot.
The Tartars, who were still rushing to the scene, did not expect that the Ming army would still have a new force. Under the continuous shooting of the infantry battalion, the Eight Banners Tartars, which could not be defended, fell to the ground countless times.
When the Tartars' offensive speed stopped, the infantry battalion also began to retreat immediately. It was not until the cavalry battalion and baggage battalion returned to the defense zone that the infantry battalion immediately returned to the position.
Huang Taiji was still reluctant to leave the attack. Thousands of Tartars were still yelling and running towards him. Dorgon, who was shot by Zhu Youxiao, did not get off the line of fire due to injury, and still rushed forward with his Zhengbai Banner.
"Ming's gunpowder should be used up, hurry up and rush over!"
This is the idea of many Tartars, including Huang Taiji and Dorgon. Otherwise, these Ming troops would not have fought so boldly. Even the firearms and soldiers who came to rescue were only fighting and retreating, and the number of people was significantly reduced.
Fu Dahai had ordered the artillery to adjust the range at this time. As soon as the Tartars entered the range, they immediately fired a cannon and fought back.
Countless shells exploded among the rushing Tartars, and the Tartars were stunned. They did not expect that the Ming army would have gunpowder.
Huang Taiji himself opened his mouth wide and his face twitched: "Okay, Zhu Youxiao, how dare you play Bensang. Bensang wants to make you live worse than death!"
"kill!"
Huang Taiji and his personal soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner killed several Niu Lu Zhangjing who were intending to retreat, and continued to rush towards here. Unexpectedly, when they came, there was a loud gunfire.
"Kill be careful!"
The 18th Banner Tartars stood in front of Huang Taiji, which made Huang Taiji escape by chance, but the other Tartars did not have such good luck.
Seeing that the Ming army was still strong in firepower, Huang Taiji had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.
On this side, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing these aggressive Tartars retreating under the heavy firepower.
"As long as the Tartars persist for another half an hour, we will have to continue to fight the Tartars again. At that time, even if the Imperial Guard can persist until the reinforcements arrive, they will probably be destroyed by the Tartars, but Huang Taiji is still played by himself."
When Zhu Youxiao thought of this, he couldn't help but ask Fu Dahai: "How much ammunition does the artillery have?"
"You can shoot two more rounds," Fu Dahai replied.
"Cheep all out, and scare the Tartars again, so that they mistakenly think we are prepared for any trouble!"
"yes!"
With the order from Zhu Youxiao, countless shells flew over. Seeing this, Huang Taiji became more and more concerned about it and hurriedly accelerated back to the camp.
At this time, Tang Fusheng ran away: "Your Majesty, reinforcements have arrived. Taiyuan General Zhou Yuji has personally led 3,000 cavalry to help us less than ten miles away, and Zhao's Jiao Department and Hou Shilu Department are only a few dozen miles away."
As he said that, Tang Fusheng began to prepare to point out the nearest location of the reinforcements to Zhu Youxiao.
But at this moment, Oboi ran away: "Your Majesty, the Tartars suddenly stepped out of their camp."
"What!" Zhu Youxiao suddenly stood up. He didn't expect Huang Taiji to react so quickly and be so sensitive, so he hurriedly said, "The cavalry battalion obeyed the orders and immediately went to entangle the main force of the Tartars. Want to run away? No way!"
"Mr. My husband, the Khan has ordered you to retreat to the security guard first and rob the security guards along the way. At that time, half of the income will be distributed to your troops."
After the Tartars in the Yellow Banner ordered Li Yongfang, they rushed back to Huang Taiji's location. Li Yongfang respectfully bowed, but he felt a little unhappy. Huang Taiji wanted to attract Ming reinforcements so that his main force in the Eight Banners could come out of seclusion smoothly.
But Li Yongfang didn't dare to say anything, and with the addition of Abatai, he didn't dare to do anything.
After arranging Li Yongfang and Abatai to continue to attract Ming reinforcements in this area, Huang Taiji himself prepared to take several large and small belles such as Mangurtai and Daishan to meet with Amin's troops, and then leave the customs from the east.
Huang Taiji rode his horse out of the military tent. When he saw the people who were plundered by him, he said, "Turn away all these people and animals and kill them!"
"Khan, why is this? We finally have so many slaves!"
"It's too late. If Ben Khan guessed correctly, Zhu Youxiao is going to start closing the net now." Huang Taiji said and shouted loudly: "Why are you standing there? Kill them all!"
"yes!"
The Eight Banners Tartars responded and were pulling out their butcher knife when they suddenly shot countless sharp arrows, followed by the rapid sound of horse hooves.
Oboi threw the horse whip hard and chased after him hard: "Bit the wolf pack tactics and don't let the Tartars escape!"
Huang Taiji did not expect that the Ming army beside Zhu Youxiao would catch up, but he did not let his people fight, but immediately led the main force away, and the plundered population was too lazy to burn and kill.
On this side, Zhu Youxiao also rode his horse, took the infantry battalion, the baggage battalion and others to chase him.
Huang Taiji ran to Jizhou, and Zhu Youxiao also chased him. Reinforcements such as Zhou Yuji and Zhao Shujiao also chased him. Cao Wenzhao's troops turned around and rushed to Jizhou.
But Huang Taiji did not follow the big path, and his mobility was already strong, so he could not gather his main force for a while.
When Li Yongfang saw a small group of Ming troops surrounded by a dragon chariot, he thought it was the Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty, so he suddenly came out. Unexpectedly, he fell into the trap.
There was no one in the dragon chariot except Liu Bin, commander of the engineering battalion. By the time Li Yongfang's troops reacted, Zhou Yuji's five thousand cavalry had already come out.
Li Yongfang's troops suffered most of their losses, so it would be better to escape in a hurry to the direction of Huang Taiji's escape, and they were all ready to meet with Amin's troops.
"Khan, a large number of Ming cavalry appeared in Jizhou!"
"Da Khan, a large number of Ming cavalry appeared in the direction of Xianghe!"
"Khan, the Ming army that came to Shunyi has now exceeded 30,000, less than fifty miles away from us!"
...
After listening to the reports of countless spies, Huang Taiji finally couldn't sit still and hurriedly asked Dorgon: "What's the situation in Amin's army now?"
"Returning to the Khan, Amin's tribe was blocked by Lu Xiangsheng in Tongzhou, and now he has joined the army of the prince Li Yongfang."
When Huang Taiji heard Dorgon say this, he couldn't help but feel angry: "This Li Yongfang, Ben Khan wants to kill him and ask him to attract the Ming army. Why did he go to Amin first? Why didn't Abatai stop him!"
