"Master, please spare my life. I will follow the Master for many years. I have worked hard without any credit. I hope the Master will be kind." When I heard that I was going to kill him, Tian Xiong and Ma Degong suddenly panicked and pleaded loudly.

"Master, Lord Tian, ​​Lord Ma's failure to obey the military order this time is certainly guilty, but it is very unfavorable to kill the general just now when he fought with the Tartars. I hope the general will show mercy and give the two masters a chance to make meritorious deeds." Weng Zhiqi could no longer sit idly by and pleaded with mercy and poked Yin Hongsheng with his hand.

Yin Hongsheng suffered heavy losses this time. He secretly hated Tian Xiong and Ma Degong, but when he saw Weng Zhiqi hinting, he had to plead for them: "Master, it is unlucky to kill the generals in front of the formation, so please think twice."

"Please beg the boss." The other deputy generals also beg for the two of them.

Huang Degong's face was still ashen, but he calmed down a lot: "Okay, if you think about your past contributions, you can be punished by death, but you can't escape the crime of living. If you come, drag it down, you will be beaten fifty military sticks by one."

Huang Degong was not so crazy at one time. Moreover, these two men followed Huang Degong for many years, so it was impossible to kill them. Just now, they were just angry. When they saw Weng Zhiqi and others pleading for mercy, they just stepped down.

"Ba, bha." The sound of military sticks came, and the sticks were inserted into the flesh. Tian and Ma gritted their teeth and said nothing. In order to show respect for Huang Degong, the emperor did not send a garrison judge in Huang Degong's army. The people who executed the execution were Huang Degong's personal soldiers. They showed no mercy to the two of them. After the fifty army was beaten, Tian and Ma were already in a state of disgrace and could not move.

The Ming army slowly retreated, and the Qing army was relieved and thought to himself that it was lucky that if the Ming army reinforcements had arrived for half an hour, they would be in danger. Seeing the Ming army retreating, if it were the past, the Qing army had already chased him, but he did not dare to move at all. Until the Ming army disappeared in sight, Kong Youde sent a probe to order his subordinates to rest on the spot.

After a battle, Kong Youde's army became honest and waited for a meeting with Duoduo without even leaving the hillside. Duoduo was shocked when he heard that Kong Youde's army was ambushed and quickly rushed to travel. He met Kong Youde early the next morning.

Duoduo originally thought that even if Kong Youde's troops were attacked by the Ming army, there were only 5,000 people in its headquarters and a large number of muskets and cannons, so even if there were any losses, they would not be too great. However, they did not know that their casualties were not only more than 30%, but also lost four cannons. If they had not occupied the mountain in time, they might have been wiped out.

Although Duoduo looked down on the Han people, he still knew the combat effectiveness of the Han army's Eight Banners. Although their combat power was not as good as that of the Manchu Eight Banners, it was even higher than that of the Mongolian Eight Banners. Such a strong army was almost wiped out. This handful was like cold water. Duoduo also became cautious. Although he arrived at the city of Jinan, he did not attack the city immediately. He just tried to shoot cannons in the city. He did not show any weakness in the city, and immediately fired a cannon to fight back.

For a while, the smoke of gunpowder in Jinan City was filled with guns, and the cannons of both sides were coming and going. Although the Qing army's red-clothed cannons had the advantage of long range, there were many artillery in the city. The capture of four red-clothed cannons from the Qing army was temporarily useless because there were no suitable shells. However, the remaining large and small cannons were as many as seventy, and there were more than twenty general cannons, which were only one line worse than the red-clothed cannons. Relying on the advantages of the city wall, they could barely fire with the Qing army's red-clothed cannons. In the end, the artillery in the city had the advantage. After losing two red-clothed cannons, the Qing army's artillery attack had to stop.

When the Qing army besieged Jinan, another battlefield also began. The food and grass brought back by Gu Junen boosted the Dashun Army. Although the 20,000 stones of food were not large, it was enough to launch a small battle. More importantly, after forming a tacit understanding with the Hongguang Dynasty, the Dashun Army temporarily escaped the embarrassment of fighting on both sides. After the Hongguang court clearly stated that it was an irreconcilable enemy with the Qing army, the rebellion in some areas ruled by the Dashun Army calmed down.

This is not because these places recognized the rule of the Dashun Army. The Qing army was borrowed by Wu Sangui to avenge the late emperor. Many people have been confused before. After expelling the Dashun Army in many areas, they directly contacted Wu Sangui or the Qing army to join the city. They fantasized that if the Qing army retreated, they could become heroes of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Hongguang Dynasty's statement shattered this gorgeous coat. When the Hongguang Dynasty's army was still far away from them, they didn't know where to go, and could only immerse themselves in the moment.

In this favorable situation, Li Zicheng certainly would not wait for the Qing army's attack. He personally led a large number of elite soldiers and generals to the north, and the main force went to Tongzhou. Baishui was preparing to fight against Wu Sangui and Ajige's troops.

Another Dashun Army advanced northward in Yuanqu, Shanxi; the third Dashun Army appeared in Henan, with flags flying for more than ten miles, crossing the Yellow River and attacking the copper tiled wings.

It has to be said that the Dashun Army was still strong at this time, far exceeding the coalition forces of Wu Sangui and Ajige. The subsequent Shuksakha tribe had not arrived in Henan. The Dashun Army seized this rare opportunity and showed its strength to the Qing army through three marchs.

Wu Sangui and Ajige were bothered by one and the other. Of course, their main force had to deal with the army led by Li Zicheng personally. Henan and Shanxi were not at the moment. The Qing army had just taken Henan. Its foundation was unstable and its troops were sparse. Many of the Qing army's troops were transformed from the self-organized group of the remaining Ming army and local gentry and landlords. They had no combat power at all. They were so anxious that Luo Xiujin, who had just been appointed as the governor of Henan of the Qing army, frequently sent letters to the Qing court for help.

However, the distant waters could not relieve the near thirst. In mid-October, the Dashun Army launched the Huaiqing Battle and conquered Jiyuan and Meng County. The Qing army's Huaiqing general Jin Yuhe led troops to fight the Dashun army in Baixiang Town. The two sides fought bloody battles for one day, but the Qing army was wiped out. The general Jin Yuhe, deputy general Chang Ding, general Chen Guocai and others, together with the more than 20,000 troops in their troops, all died.

This battle almost wiped out the mobile forces of the Qing army in Henan, which scared General Wei Hui, Zu Kefa, so he led his army to flee to Biyang overnight to defend and wait for assistance. Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other big cities were directly exposed to the attack of the Dashun army. The news reached the capital, and the Qing court was in an uproar. The news that Duoduo had no progress in Jinan City also reached the Qing court. At this time, many Qing nobles took the opportunity to re-engage Beijing and withdraw it from the outside of the pass.
