Chapter 412: The Qing Army's Escape
The Khalkha Mongols did not work hard, so Li Guodong naturally would not use his brothers as cannon fodder for the Mongols, so he also made a way out and let the Qing army protrude from the gap.
The Ming army took away all the twelve-pound field guns, howitzers and six-pound field guns, and the damaged sled carts, destroyed Franc cannons, and tiger squat cannons. Even if they were left to the Qing army, it didn't matter, and they had no use to take them away.
"Minggou and Mongolian barbarians have made a way out! Let's rush over!" Dorgon rode on a white horse, waved his golden sword and pointed forward.
"Uncle Fourteenth, the Korqin people are not very relieved to cut off the rear. We put the car camp behind and cooperate with the Korqin people to cut off the rear." Yue Tuo offered advice.
"A clever plan!" Dorgon laughed, "Ming Dog Car Battalion has repeatedly caused serious casualties to our army's pursuit. This time we also use the Car Battalion to deal with the Khalkha people who are picking up cheap!"
The cunning Dorgon naturally knew that when the Ming army, the Chahar people and the Tumots fought together in bloody battles in the Qing army, the Khalkha people did not come to help. Once the Qing army broke through the siege and retreated eastward, the Khalkha people would definitely come to pick up the bargain and chase after him. Just by cutting off the Korqin people, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses. With the help of Wuzhenchao's soldiers, the Khalkha people would definitely cause serious casualties to the Khalkha people pursuing the Qing army.
"The Jurchens are defeated! We chase!" When the Qing army was found out that they rushed out of the gap, Chechen Khan Shuolei was overjoyed and pulled out the scimitar and pointed forward, "The descendants of Genghis Khan, chase!"
"Chasing!" Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan also drew their swords and ordered the entire army to pursue. Just now, when the bloody battle between Chahar and Tumot coalition forces were fighting, the Khalkha people sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. Now the Qing army broke through the siege and was running for life. When will it take advantage of it?
"A bunch of grandsons!" When Ezhe saw the Khalkha people chasing the entire army and attacking the Jurchens, trying to get a bargain, he was so angry that he cursed, "They just hide from the tough battle. They will get to the point of picking up bargains faster than anyone else!"
Li Guodong sneered and said, "Khan, let them chase after me! I believe they can't get any benefits and will suffer a big loss!"
The Eight Banners of the Qing army and Han Dynasty had already copied the sled carts, and the Khalkhas were still chasing them. Wouldn't they ask for trouble?
The Qing army had all broken through the encirclement, and Li Hong was arranged by Dorgon to stay behind to cooperate with the Korqin people and the Han Eight Banners to cut off the rear. The Han people under Li Hong were also cavalrymen. They were incorporated into the Mongolian Eight Banners, not the Han Eight Banners. Most of the Han and Tumotes who did not join the banner were incorporated into the Tumote Eastern tribes that surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and would go to the Duoyan grassland to be monitored by the Korqin people.
"Second brother, Jiannu asked us to cut off the rear. My brothers and I have to find a chance to escape." Zhang Wei, dressed in Mongolian, rode his horse to Li Hong and whispered.
"Now you don't have time to go back. After you go to Duoyan Grassland, you can find another opportunity to leave." Li Hong said in a low voice.
Zhang Wei and a group of Ming army spies were woven into the eastern part of Tumote by Li Hong, instead of entering the flag, so they did not shave their hair and change their clothes. However, now Zhang Wei and the others have loosened their hair and tied them into the hairstyle of Mongolians. After returning, they can restore the hairstyle of Han people by just taking off their braids and tying their hair. However, Zhang Wei and the others are fake Mongolians after all, and it is impossible for them to stay in the Duoyan grassland for more. After returning, they have to find an opportunity to slip away.
"It seems that there is news that Jiannu is going to invade Daming. If they ask us to follow Daming and rob our compatriots at that time, what should we do?" Zhang Wei asked.
"It's up to you," Li Hong said helplessly, "It's impossible not to do anything for them at all. They will doubt it. We just need to show mercy as much as possible. Of course, we can take the opportunity to search the homes of those officials and gentry! Snatch them all! Anyway, the lord doesn't like these unkind guys. You can take some of the things you stolen from the stolen ones. When you go back, you can take some of them back."
"I understand! Let's withdraw." Zhang Wei said.
Li Hong joined the retreating ranks with his two Niulu, as well as the Mongols and Han people from the eastern Tumote who "submitted" to the Qing Dynasty. Their army was placed at the end and retreated with the Korqin people.
"What are you doing? Are you dragging it? Do you want to escape back?" Several khan tent cavalry who were familiar with Manzhu came. Seeing the Tumotes slow movements, a Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry waved a whip and whipped a Tumote in the face.
"Dear masters, please calm down!" Li Hongqiang stepped forward with anger, "Some people may not want to leave their hometown, so the servants will urge them to hurry up."
The Meng Eight Banners soldier snorted coldly: "Hmph! Subud, don't think that you have entered the flag and your tail will rise to the sky! Remember, you are not qualified to be the Jurchen dogs, you are just the dogs of our Korqin people!"
"I understand." Li Hongqiang replied respectfully, suppressing his anger.
When the Eight Banners of Mongolia left, Zhang Wei whispered in Li Hong's ear: "It's really aggrieved to be an insider in Jiannu. No wonder the lord hated Jiannu so much."
"General, it's not good, the Khalkhas are catching up!" Hang Gao galloped over to report.
"Let's go, let's move closer to the Han Eight Banners Car Camp!" Li Hong ordered.
The Khalkha cavalry caught up, and Li Hong, Zhang Wei and others turned around to shoot arrows. The cavalry bows they used were all specially made strong bows. Although they were short cavalry bows, their bow power was more than one stone. They could shoot heavy arrows fifty steps away, and they could easily shoot light arrows two hundred steps away. Each arrow was shot, and one of the Chahar people chasing behind them screamed and fell off.
Li Hong and Zhang Wei fired arrows without any effort, and each arrow could kill a person's life. Not only did they want to give the Qing soldiers a letter, but they were also angry with the Khalkhas. The Khalkhas just now did not work hard and preserved their strength, which made the Mongolian coalition miss the opportunity to annihilate Dorgon and Yuetuo. The blame was for the Khalkhas.
The Khalqin cavalry caught up, and rows of arrows fell from the sky. The Korqin people who were landing behind were shot into hedgehogs from time to time, screaming and falling from the horse's back and rolling in the snow. Some Korqin people's war horses were shot overturned, and the knights on the horse's back were dropped, and the Korqin people who were caught up were stepped into meat paste.
"There are too many Khalkha people, let's go to the car camp." Li Hong shouted.
The Tumotes and Han Munu galloped over the Horqinmeng Eight Banners Cavalry and moved closer to the Han Eight Banners Sleigh Car Camp.
The Khalkha cavalry caught up and saw the back of the Han Eight Banners Vehicle Camp.
"Catch up! Don't let the Jurchens' baggage vehicles run away!" Shuolei shouted excitedly. He saw the sled car racing on the snow in front of him, as if he saw piles of gold, silver and treasures. He regarded these chariots as supplies for transporting supplies.
The north wind whistled past, and a blizzard broke out on the grassland. Soon the snow on the ground became thicker. The Khalkha cavalry's pursuit became difficult, and the horse's hooves stepped on the snow, leaving deep horse's hooves. The car camp in front ran wildly, leaving two traces. The sled car was extremely fast, but the Khalkhas, who were eager to get a bargain, chased them reluctantly, and kept shooting down the Korqin Mongolian cavalry who were behind.
"Boom boom boom" The sled car spewed out of the sled car, and the smoke filled the smoke rose in the snow fog. The pellets like rainbows penetrated into the chasing Khalkha cavalry. Only a scream was heard, blood was splashing everywhere, and the chasing Khalkha cavalry screamed and fell off their horses.
"Fight! Beat it beautifully!" Kong Youde shouted excitedly.
The Qing army sled car kept firing out the ferang machine cannonballs and the nine-headed bird musket bullets, which made the Khalkha Mongols chasing behind fall one after another.
