Chapter 419

Although Li Guodong did his best to clear the Qing army's scouts, his whereabouts were still discovered.

"Report!" A Qing army scout entered the central army's tent, "discovering Li Laoer's whereabouts, about 3,000 cavalrymen were fleeing to Daizhou."

Dorgon asked, "Where are the Chahar people?"

"Those Mongolian barbarians separated from the Southern Barbarians, and there were only three thousand southern barbarians of Li Laoer."

Li Guodong's resourcefulness made Dorgon afraid of being trapped. He ordered: "Don't worry about him, don't chase the enemy. Since this man has run away, we just need to send the captured Han dog Nikan back to Liaodong."

"Master! Xiao Wang is willing to lead his troops to chase him!" Man Zhu Xili stood up and volunteered to fight.

"Brother Man Zhu Xili, this person is full of tricks and should not be pursued rashly! Be careful of his mischief!"

"This person colluded with Chahar people and killed my two brothers. If this revenge is not avenged, Xiao Wang can't swallow his anger! Now this person is retreating, which is a good time for our army to pursue! Today I swear to avenge this revenge!" Man Zhu Xili's eyes were almost glaring out. His brother Wu Keshan and younger brother Sonomu fell into the hands of Lin Dankhan because of Li Guodong. Lin Dankhan, who later retreated to Qinghai, was so angry that he cut off Wu Keshan and Sonomu and sent his head to the Korqin Grassland.

"Benberg is afraid that this person will be cheated again. If you go after him, you will be afraid of being ambushed!"

Man Zhu Xili knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Xiao Wang will definitely be careful! Xiao Wang will ask all the scouts to explore the way forward, and the main force follows Hui Ming to pursue! If the master does not agree to Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang will not kneel down today! I hope the master will be right!"

Dorgon could not stand the etiquette of Manzhu, so he had to agree to him: "Okay! Benbeile will give you another thousand elite soldiers! You don't have to go all your troops in your headquarters, so you will take 4,000 people to chase them, and the rest will be left to restrain other Ming dogs!"

The Korchin cavalry is still very useful to Dorgon. If the Qing army encounters the Ming army and defeats the Ming army in field battles, the main thing to pursue the Ming army is to rely on the Mongolian light cavalry. With the speed and endurance of the light cavalry, the Ming army's infantry needs no need to say, even the cavalry cannot escape and will be caught up in the end. Therefore, every time the Ming army is defeated, it will almost be wiped out. This matter can be said to be an indelible contribution to the Eight Banners of the Korchin Meng.

Dorgon assigned Man Zhu Xili a thousand heavy cavalry because he was worried that his light cavalry would not be able to defeat Li Guodong's heavy cavalry.

"Thank you, Master!" After Man Zhu thanked him, he took the command arrow and turned around and retreated.

Li Guodong was leading his army to retreat because December was the [结] period of Camel, and as a result, the Camel Firearms were faster than his cavalry with one man and two horses. The army had just retreated less than fifty miles, and there were Ye Buhuo cavalry behind him and reported: "General, Jiannu is chasing him! There are four thousand fake slaves and a thousand real slaves! There are more than two hundred scouts and whistle cavalry in front to explore the way, and our army suffered more than ten brothers, and even the humble official could hardly come back."

"The Tartars are chasing us, four thousand Mongolian Tartar light cavalry and one thousand Jiannu. If we ignore it, we are afraid that it will be uncomfortable to be followed by the Mongolian Tartars." Li Guodong slapped the table suddenly.

The characteristic of Korqin Light Cavalry is that they are fast and have good endurance. If they are caught up, they follow them to archery from afar. If you turn back and fight, they will run away. No matter what, they keep archery harassing them. Although their heavy cavalry has thick armor, the spare war horses are not covered with armor. As long as the spare war horses fall down, the heavy cavalry has no horses to replace, and the marching speed is even worse than that of the infantry. If they are surrounded by the Qing army, they will be in danger.

"If the Tartars dare to chase us, isn't Shanxi dry and there is no snow? If the chariot camp is there, how dare they chase us?" Han Dashan said.

"Che camp? Let the camel soldiers come back and cut off the rear! I personally command the camel soldiers!" Li Guodong issued an order. His cheque and camel soldiers can actually be transformed at any time. When heavy snow fell, the camel soldiers turned into sled car camps. There was no snow in Shanxi, so the firearm soldiers changed to camels.

The heavy cavalry ran slower than the camels in December. Li Guodong asked the light cavalry to go to the front to send an order, ordering the camel soldiers to turn back.

Li Guodong did not intend to eat all of this Korqin light cavalry. Without the cooperation of the light cavalry, it would be difficult to wipe out the light cavalry of Manzhu Xili. If he bypassed the scouts and cavalry to set up an ambush, just like the last time the Later Jin invaded Xuanda, he fought and first annihilated the Eight Banners of the Mongols and then destroyed the Eight Banners of the Jurchens, it would take too much time, and there would be reasonable terrain, and a large number of friendly troops around him. The conditions now do not allow at all, so he just wants to cut off the rear with camel soldiers and defeat Manzhu Xili.

Soon after, camel firearms turned around.

Li Guodong ordered: "I personally led a hundred cavalrymen who were good at riding and shooting to stay, and cooperated with the camel soldiers to cut off the rear."

"Brother, I'll stay with you too." Han Dashan said.

"And I, I will stay with my elder brother!" Iron Hammer, who is also good at riding and archery, is also very powerful in riding and archery. Although Iron Hammer is good at skiing, his ability to ride and archery is also very powerful.

More than 100 elite cavalry remained and fought with camel soldiers. These hundred elite heavy cavalry were all wearing thick armor and were good at riding bows. The cavalry bows they used were all strong cavalry bows with more than eight strengths, which was enough to restrain the Mongolian cavalry without armor.

The Qing army scouts and mail cavalry chased after him. The Ming army in front of him, who did not stop the mail at night, saw the Qing army scouts and mail cavalry coming from a distance, and pulled out their horses and ran away.

"The Hangou Barbarians dare not fight me at all. They ran faster than rabbits!" A Qing army bayala Zhuangda pointed at the Ming army's whistle riding away.

"We just need to pay attention to whether there are any dogs on both sides of the ambush!" Bayala said.

The Qing army scouts and escort cavalry chased after another period and found a large group of Ming army camels in front of them walking slowly, and there were about a hundred heavy cavalry behind the camel team.

"It's the main force of Minggou! There was no ambush on the road, so let's go back and report!" Bayalafenbashiku shouted.

Li Guodong was walking at the end of the horse. He turned around and saw a Qing army scout who was only a hundred steps away from him, so he took out his own stone cavalry, took the bow and took the arrow, and turned around and suddenly shot an arrow. He heard a scream from behind him. He flew out a heavy arrow that was thrust into the face of the Qing army scout. The arrowhead pierced from the bridge of his nose and shot through the skull. The Qing soldier screamed and fell from the horse's back.

"Go away! The enemy's archery skills are so good!" More than a hundred Qing army scouts turned around and ran away.

Li Guodong did not pursue him. He knew that after the Qing army's scouts returned, the four thousand Mongolian Eight Banners and the one thousand Man Eight Banners would come up soon.

The scouts came back to report: "The main force of Minggou was found, with three thousand camel soldiers and more than a hundred cavalry."

Man Zhu Xili received a reward from the scout whistle cavalry, and he shouted: "My sons, the Southern Barbarians have not ambushed! This is a good opportunity for our army to annihilate the barbarians and give me revenge on the Korqin people!"

"Crash, kill all the barbarians!" A group of Mongolians excitedly drove away the war horses and chased them in the direction of the Ming army's retreat.

The Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia chased after about half an hour and saw the retreating Ming army ahead. Manzhu Xili, who was eager to take revenge, shouted: "My sons, follow me! Kill all the barbarians!"

"Kill!" Four thousand Mongolian light cavalry galloped and quickly caught up.

"Haha! It's my cheap brother-in-law here, everyone has to greet him!" Li Guodong laughed. Because Hai Lanzhu is a concubine, Manzhu Xili is his brother-in-law.

More than a hundred Ming cavalry took off their cavalry bows from their backs, took out light arrows from their quiver pots, and were ready. Camel soldiers also lit the fuses one after another, and fired and fired when the Qing army approached.

Li Guodong was the first to turn around, and a light arrow flew into the sky and pierced the dense Qing army. Han Dashan, Tieqiao and others also shot arrows one after another.

More than a hundred light arrows flew into the sky and accurately landed among the crowd of the Eight Banners of Meng. Suddenly, a scream was heard. The cavalrymen of the Eight Banners who rushed in front were overturned and fell down a large area.

In a blink of an eye, Li Guodong shot five arrows in a row. His arrows were shot without any slightest. Every sound of the bowstring sounded, an arrow could shoot down a Qing soldier.
