Dorgon sat on the grass, took off his clothes and put them aside. The cool breeze blew by the river, making him feel much more refreshed.

In the past two days, the Ming and Mongolian coalition forces launched a fierce attack. The Ming army exhausted all the ammunition, causing heavy casualties and injuries to the Later Jin army. Then the Mongolian cavalry archers rushed over like a storm, and the arrows were like rain. Although the thick armor on the Jurchen soldiers could block the arrows, in the dense rain of arrows, someone was inevitably shot into the front door. The armor had more arrows to bear and would eventually be shot through. The Jurchen soldiers who had exhausted the arrows had no bows and arrows to fight back, and could only watch the Mongolians approached twenty steps unscrupulously and shoot arrows at themselves.

The Later Jin army was definitely not a solution to be beaten like this, so Dorgon ordered the Jurchen soldiers to attack and rush towards the Mongolian cavalry.

The fierce Jurchen warriors rushed out shouting and the Mongolian riders and shot people and turned over by them, and many people fell down. However, the Mongolians were completely different from the Later Jin army fighting. They turned their horses' heads, turned around and ran back.

The two-legged infantry naturally could not catch up with the light cavalry. Dorgon ordered the withdrawal of the troops and let the attacking Jurchen soldiers return to the formation. However, the Jurchen soldiers had just turned back and the Mongolian cavalry and shooting back again. They kept shooting arrows and harassing each other twenty steps away from the Jurchen formation. Dorgon had to order the Jurchen soldiers to attack again and drive away the Mongols.

The Jurchen soldiers wearing heavy armor were in great pain. They were flying kites like this by Mongolian riding and shooting, and they were tossing back and forth. It was a time when people were always exhausted. I don’t know how many attacks it was, and when they drove away the Mongolians and were about to turn back and return to their positions, some Jurchen soldiers were finally exhausted, and they didn’t even have the strength to run, and they couldn’t pick up the weapons in their hands. The Mongolians took the opportunity to kill a horseback and rushed over directly, knocking the Jurchen soldiers who could not run one by one, and trampling them into meat paste with their horses' hooves.

The Mongols harassed each morning, and Li Guodong's Ming army attacked.

After the firearms and soldiers took off the ammunition, Li Guodong ordered the bird gunners to give up the bird gun. Each of them raised a simple spear and mixed it with the spearmen, arranged in an orderly formation. After the Mongolian cavalry and shooting harassment, they immediately rushed towards the Jurchen formation.

The spear soldiers lined up like a razor, entering from the formation of the Jurchens wearing white armor, like a razor shaving off the white hair from the green grassland. The exhausted Jurchen soldiers could not resist the attack of the spear formation and were shaved from the grassland one by one.

Dorgon ordered the contraction of troops and concentrated his formation to resist the Ming army's spearmen, and finally blocked the spearmen from breaking in.

Mongolian cavalry and shooting are coming again, and the Jurchen soldiers with a contraction are unable to attack, so they can only squeeze into a group and get arrows in vain.

But the Ming army's spearmen suffered a lot of losses, and hundreds of corpses of Ming army infantry lie down in front of the Jurchen formation.

"Stop it! The Mongolian barbarians and Minggou are crazy! They know that Tiancong Khan's reinforcements are coming soon! As long as we stand, we will win!" Dorgon pulled his hoarse voice and shouted at the top of his lungs, causing the exhausted Jurchen soldiers to cheer up and fight to the death.

The trapped beasts are still fighting, and the Jurchens in desperate situations have squeezed out their last physical strength. In the battle of life and death, everyone sacrifices their lives to fight, who cherishes their lives? If they don’t fight, they will die. If they fight, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Compared with the three Khalkha divisions who did not work hard, the Ming army was working hard. Li Guodong cut in with infantry, then formed a heavy cavalry to break in, attacked the Jin army at all costs, and even led the team to rush to the first place. The purpose was to annihilate the Later Jin army and take Dorgon's head. However, the Jurchens' resistance was too tenacious, and the Ming army's heavy cavalry could not kill Dorgon.

The Chahars and the Tumotes also fought their best. Ezhe was to prove their strength by annihilation of this Jurchen army, establish their prestige, and unify Mongolia; while the Tumotes had no way out, the Khalkhas could run away, the Chahars could run away, and the Ming army could run away, but the Tumotes could not run away. When the Huang Taiji army arrived, they would have to bear the anger of the Jurchens. Only by eating Dorgon's part and causing the Jurchens to greatly damage their strength and being unable to take into account the Hetao grassland, would they have the chance to avoid crazy revenge from the Jurchens.

Ezhe took a lot of money and took out all his most elite 500-khan heavy cavalry. With the cooperation of the light cavalry, he launched an attack on the Jurchen army again and again. Omubu also took the opportunity to let the Tumot light cavalry rushed to the Jurchens at any cost, almost shooting arrows with his face, and one arrow after another shot through the Jurchens' face from close range. Of course, at such a close range, the rider was also threatened by the Jurchen heavy armored soldiers. The Tumot just shot the Jurchen soldiers in the face, and a Jurchen soldier rushed up behind him shouting and knocked the Tumot off the horse with a knife, or picked a tiger gun off the horse's back.

After two days of crazy attack, the Jurchen formations were piled up like mountains, including the corpses of Mongols, the Jurchens, and the corpses of the Ming army. Dorgon's remnants shrank to less than 10,000 people! The 30,000 elite Jurchen cavalry he brought out had been lost by more than two-thirds, which was a great damage to the vitality of the entire Jin Kingdom.

On the morning of the third day, when the sun shone on the Hetao grassland, the Khalkha camp was already empty. It seemed that they left their allies and retreated secretly before dawn.

"After more than 80,000 Khalkhas, we are all left here. As long as we persist for another day, Dorgon will be awarded the title! Unfortunately, they did not persist." Ezhe pointed to the empty camp of the Khalkhas and said heartbrokenly.

Li Guodong naturally felt even more sad when he failed to annihilate Dorgon. In real history, several years later, the Qing army entered the pass, ten days after Yangzhou, shaved his hair and changed his clothes, the three massacres of Jiading, the Nanchang Massacre, and the Guangzhou Massacre, were all done by Dorgon. If Dorgon could be killed, after Huang Taiji's death, other brave and unscheming Jiannu generals were not afraid.

"What a pity! As long as one more day, no, even half a day, you can kill Dorgon!" Li Guodong sighed to the sky and ordered the withdrawal of his troops with pain.

What else can it be if the troops are not withdrawn? Nearly half of the 4,000 troops he brought out has been lost, with only more than 2,000 left. Ezhe's Chahar cavalry still has more than 3,000 left. Together with the 8,000 cavalry of the Tumots, it would be impossible to annihilate Dorgon's 10,000 Jurchens with 13,000 troops. If the Khalkhas did not run away, even if they did not work hard, as long as a few more rounds of light arrows to harass the Jurchens, the Ming army, the Chahars and the Tumots could wipe out the Jurchens' stamina.

Huang Taiji will arrive in at most two days. If he doesn’t withdraw his troops quickly, it will be too late.

"What a pity, I'll give these Jiannu a chance to breathe." Han Dashan said heartbrokenly.

Li Guodong comforted: "It's okay, we already have more than 15,000 Jiannu's heads. Dorgon lost his troops and generals, and more than 20,000 people. In addition to Yue Tuo's 5,000 people and Baoyi Aha who lost. Jiannu lost more than 30,000 people this time, which was also a serious injury to his vitality. I guess he would not dare to invade our Ming Dynasty for several years."

The Khalkha people ran away first, Ezhe also withdrew, and Li Guodong also withdrew. It was impossible for Omubu to stay alone in the face of the anger of the Jurchens. He took the Tumots and gave up Guihua City, escaped the Yellow River, and entered the New Qinzhong grassland to temporarily hide from the Jurchens.

In the capital, Emperor Chongzhen received news that the Later Jin army had passed through the Zhangbei grassland. He also knew that the Jurchens had been dispatched in full swing, and Liaodong was empty, but Ji Liao Governor Ding Kuichu did not dare to send troops to Shenyang. The Ming army in Liaodong was afraid of the enemy like a tiger. Even if the Jurchens had empty defense, they did not dare to take the opportunity to send troops to seize the retreat of the Later Jin army.
