Except for the more than 100 Han Eight Banners left behind, the rest of the Qing army were all surrendered by the Ming army. They were severely injured under the suppression of Ming munitions and the bows and arrows of the Chahars. No matter how the Qing soldiers of the Han Eight Banners suppressed, the surrendered army could not resist and was climbed to the top of the city by Li Guodong's iron armored soldiers.

The iron-armored soldiers were wearing three thick armors. After climbing to the top of the city, they cut and slashed the Qing soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables. Soon all the more than 100 Han Eight Banners soldiers were killed, and more than 60 surrendered soldiers in the Ming army were killed, and the rest surrendered. More than 100 of them were killed, and the rest surrendered.

"One thousand stones of food was seized, three hundred bird guns, fifty nine-headed bird guns, more than one thousand weapons, more than three hundred sets of weapons, more than one thousand armor, more than one thousand kilograms of gunpowder, more than four hundred surrendered Ming army soldiers, more than three hundred coated slaves, and more than two thousand captured Ming people were rescued." Han Dashan reported the results to Li Guodong.

"Divid the food, let's take some of it, and leave a part of it for Ezhe and his Chahar cavalry." Li Guodong gave an order.

The captured bird guns and nine-headed bird heavy fire guns were produced by the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Li Guodong ordered that all the seized firearms be brought back. After identification, if the Ming Dynasty firearms will be rebuilt, the Qing army's firearms can be kept for use. The captured swords and weapons are also made by the Ming Dynasty and the Qing army. The weapons of the Ming Dynasty surrendered soldiers were ragged and the swords and guns were rusted. Some of the captured bows and arrows have softened, some of the bows cracked, and some of the wood has been rotten. The rags have also been taken away by Li Guodong. The rusted swords and guns can be returned to the furnace, and the damaged bows can be repaired and used.

When you open the arsenal of Zhen'an Castle, you will see the dilapidated weapons. Those weapons are even more unbearable than the weapons seized from the Ming army's surrendered soldiers. The swords and guns have been rusted and almost rotten. They will rot when touched. They are worse than scrap iron. The shields and spears are rotten and moldy. The bows and arrows are no longer useful, and they have no value for repair. They are simply full of garbage in the warehouse.

"The military households of the Daming Guard have become so decayed that no wonder they can't resist Jiannu." Han Dashan sighed.

A soldier who was born in Yulin military households said: "General Han was the same when he was in Yulin Guard. The military households had become farmers. All the weapons were rotten. The soldiers had no armor. Not only did they deduct military pay from them, we also had to farm and feed hundreds of households. The military households could escape, and how many people were willing to stay? They encountered a severe drought in the northwest and the thieves came. I wonder how many military households had been thieves."

However, the ragged garbage made the Chahar people in Ezhe excited. The Chahar people searched in the garbage. Some of the ragged cloths were taken away by them, and some of the arrows with rusty arrows were also taken away by them as treasures.

"Can these things still work?" Li Guodong asked.

Ezhe smiled bitterly: "Since my father's defeat, our Chahar tribe has been getting worse day by day. There is no place to replenish the arrows consumed in the battle. Although these arrows are rusted, they can barely be used to take them back and grind them. Take the cloth back and wash them, and they can still be made into clothes."

"The rescued people are sent away and handed over to Ezhe, and let him send them to the Jingji area, and you can get the reward of Jiannu's head. This time, Jiannu invaded, and they were not prepared enough to invade Jingji area. It would be safe to send them there. We cannot stay here for a long time, Jiannu will come soon. Our army is all cavalry, and as long as we walk south on another path, Jiannu will not be able to find us." Li Guodong issued a series of orders.

"What should I do with the captives?" Han Dashan asked.

"All the Baoyi Aha was cut down. If the Ming army surrendered soldiers are willing to join our army, we will take them away; those who are unwilling to join our army will be incorporated into refugees and handed over to Ezhe to take them to Jingji."

“Where are we going?”

"Go to Yangfang Fort and join forces with the Tianxiong Army of the Commander Lu. Our army cannot expel Jiannu by 6,000 people. We still need to join forces with the Tianxiong Army to defeat the enemy."

More than 400 surrendered Ming army soldiers captured, of which more than 200 were willing to join Li Guodong's army, and the rest were unwilling to join. They would rather be refugees and find a chance to escape than join the army again. After all, these people were originally from military households, and the suffering of military households can be said to be unforgettable. If you have the opportunity to escape, why do you still have to join the army? These military households did not know Li Guodong's army, and only knew that they would rather escape and become thieves in the future than join the army again.

"General, good men don't make a decision, good men don't join the army. We really don't want to join the army anymore." A surrendered Ming army soldier who was unwilling to join Li Guodong's army stood up and said.

"Everyone, if you don't follow us, you have been forced to shave your hair. Is there any way out when you go back to the Ming Dynasty? If you meet another Ming army, why don't you cut you off and take your head to the court to receive the reward?" He Xing asked.

The Ming army often killed Liang and took advantage of merit. Every time Jiannu invaded, the Ming army killed innocent people, shaved their hair on their heads, and sent them to receive rewards. These Ming army surrendered soldiers were shaved by Jiannu and kept their hair on their heads and braids, and then returned to the capital. Isn’t that the credit that happened to be delivered to the door? The Ming army, who was eager to kill Liang and took advantage of merit, killed them all to receive rewards?

"Forget it, we have no way to go, so we'd better follow the general!" The Ming army who refused to leave also knelt on the ground, expressing their willingness to join.

More than 400 surrendered soldiers were added, but Li Guodong was not short of war horses anyway. His three thousand cavalry were all three horses, and more than 400 more people were still one and two horses. After cleaning the battlefield and dividing the spoils, Li Guodong and Ezhe parted ways. He took people on another small path and headed straight to Yangfang Fort in the direction of Jinzhong.

When the Qing army arrived at Zhen'anbao, there was only an empty city left, and Li Guodong had long disappeared.

Li Guodong's six thousand men marched southeastward, passed Yanmen Pass, entered the Fen River Valley in central Shanxi, and then turned to the southwest. Along the way, the road was empty, there were no pedestrians, the village was silent, and there was no smoke from cooking.

All the people in the villages that were looted by the Qing army were captured. The people also fled to the news after hearing the news. Shanxi was originally poor, and first suffered drought and then encountered bandits in succession. Jiannu was already empty.

While walking on the road, Han Dashan saw this miserable scene and asked worriedly: "Brother, do you think Jiannu will withdraw his troops this time?"

Li Guodong said: "The Jiannu has achieved his goal. He has transferred the main force of the thief suppression of Duke Lu back to Shanxi and plundered the population. Why are they still staying in Xuanda? Stay here to eat Guanyin soil? He must have brought the plundered population back to Liaodong. When the food is produced and more elite troops are trained, they will invade the Ming Dynasty again. I am afraid that the next time they come, they will devote all their efforts to invade the Ming Dynasty, and it will not be so easy to deal with by then."

In the battle of attacking Zhen'anbao, the Ming army lost more than 50 people, all of which were caused by the firearms of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

Li Guodong knew very well that the most threatening to him at present was not the Manchurian Eight Banners heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, but the Tianyou soldiers and Tianjiao soldiers of Wuzhenchao Ha Camp and Sanshun King. Those firearms can easily break the armor of his heavy cavalry and heavy infantry. Moreover, the Qing army already had a large number of red cannons, which was difficult to defend even if they were defending the city.

If the cavalry and shooting of the Eight Banners still conquers the world, Li Guodong is really not afraid of the Eight Banners. When dealing with the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry of the Eight Banners, as long as he develops firearms and heavy cavalry himself, he can crack the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry of the Qing army, so what he fears most is the firearms and weapons of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

After seeing Lu Xiangsheng this time, if nothing unexpected happens, his brothers outside the Great Wall can make it clear. The only worry is that if the Qing army invades the Ming Dynasty three years later, Lu Xiangsheng has conflicts with Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, and he leads his troops to Julu, and whether he wants to follow him. If he goes, can he defeat Dorgon?
